Donato is a fantastic draftsman and the nicest guy. Met him at a convention a couple years ago. It looks like the DVD is going to rock, gotta get it. I paint digitally now, but looking at this demo makes my hands itch to get my brushes out and assemble my dusty ol' easel. Thanks for the demo!!!
Yes yes yes. I love your comments about the often overlooked little visuals like scratches and the nature of lighting on metal. Wonderful! I also love the act of painting feeling the medium through the brush and having a physical piece afterwards. Thank you for sharing!
you chose an excellent figure for your illustration. her eyes are amazing and her features are symetrical. awesome picture. as though you took a live 3D subject made it into a 2D illustration then made the illustration become real again. loved it.
You are amazing artist,and painter wow blow me away thank you for your time hope to see more videos from you you have helped me learn so much watching you
The other thing that is truly special about this tutorial is that this is an artist that shares so much....and $60.00 is nothing for what he offers...truly most generous. I can name several DVD's that I have bought of some artists who basically just sit there and paint...and offer NOTHING in the way of helpful info...NOTHING...and they have the gall to charge money for that...this man is generous and shares alot of excellent info..and is in his everyday studio...you see it for real. Awesome!!
This was beyond amazing!! Had I not looked at the title and saw oil painting (and of course watch him paint) I would have thought the image was done digitally!
jaw dropping incredible. I have been commissioned to do an oil painting and i haven't picked up oils in years. so im youtubing paintings and techniques to kind of get myself back into gear... and i get tree after rose after landscape after blaaaaahhhhhhhhh then i come across this... which is every essence of my passion put into oils... I am absolutely blown away and SO INCREDIBLY INSPIRED that I cannot wait to pick up these oils and go to work... I cannot thank you enough.
Wonderful, wonderful process stuff. Talk about an effective advertisement for the full product. Process-peeking with these production values and with such a willing, sharing artist (who happens to also have sick nasty skills) is pure joy.
Hello, just stumbled upon your channel... 1. Your work is whoa !! 2. You are so passionate about what you're doing 3. I love your attitude ( "wish that you could go beyond me... " wow that's so humble of you) Hope to follow and see more of your Work! Cheers 😊
Dear Donato. Greetings from Lincolnshire England I am a British professional Aviation artist and your film of you working on this beautiful painting is a true record of brilliance. I love what you are doing . I wish you great success always with your wonderful art. Yours sincerely and with great respect sir. Simon W. Atack
I got this and it's AMAZING! Not rly my kinda style tbh but these r 5 hours of perfect quality almost "in person" proces of creating amazing art.If you expect to see "this is how you draw hands and that's how u draw legs" kind of tutorial it may not come to your expectations. If you wanna see how a real master does all the magic and if u want the magic devided into easy steps and all the mystery off and away- this is for you! A giant push of encourigement!
I own this and watch it frequently for motivation and just because I love to watch the process. Good stuff. Highly recommend other artists, artist wannabies like me, artists looking to improve their fantasy art to a better than more than youtube level, and people who just love fantasy art get this video.
Also, where can I find a drafting board with one of those stick things that you're using to keep your hand steady? I use an easel, and sometimes use an old broom stick to keep my wrist still, but this looks better.
Amazing work! It's great to see someone this strong in traditional skills in a time where digital illustration is the easier choice of medium.

You got this from torrents.
one cannot simply dislike this video !
complimenti!
This is seriously awesome. Definitely buying. Is it one or two parts?
Does anyone know what the music is in the background?
Do you apply a varnish before you apply the oil? it looks reflective as you paint the oil on?
Also, where can I find a drafting board with one of those stick things that you're using to keep your hand steady? I use an easel, and sometimes use an old broom stick to keep my wrist still, but this looks better.
donato is truly talented. I wonder if he ever does stream punk
