Great tut; However I can’t stand video tutorials in general… just give me the facts on the page and let me skim to the meat.
Wow, those look amazing. Great job!
Unfortunately the link address doesn’t work. regards!
i find it difficult to do in photoshop but you explain it quite well..
Hi!, thanks for one more tutorial.
This tutorial could apply to create smoke or is better to apply other process?.
Thanks and I’m sorry my english
Very good as usual, the mixer brush is a great advancement in CS5 Photoshop, pity is cost so much to upgrade!

dang thats pretty awesome. im guessing it would be better to do this with a drawing tablet. cant wait to get one. great tutorial!
Excellent tutorial. Nice post.
Amazing.
I love the video tuts. I can see it live happening. Not try to figure out the in-betweens of written material.. keep it up.
Hi Martin,
I have become a fan of you. Can you please tell me which wacom tab is best ( I am planning to buy one). Thanks in advance for the tuts …
with regards
Anoop
These videos are great. I really feel like buying a tablet. Which one do the narrator use? =)
Hi Eric,
I’m glad you like my videos. I’m using Wacom tablets. It is the best to start with a Bamboo or if you can afford it then an Intuos 4. If you are interested in more detail watch this episode about tablets:

Cheers,

For you guys asking about tablets, Martin (almighty) did a tutorial on that too as the second tutorial in this series.

I’m fairly sure Martin uses a Cintique, but I could be wrong. I recommend a Bamboo for beginners.
Beautiful!
Great stuff Martin – as usual. Going on from your previous tuts on perspective I was waiting for you to raise the point on cloud perspective; I suppose there is a limit to how much detail you can get into such a short time. I look forward to more of your excellent tutorials. I am greatly inspired by the landscapes of William Turner with his great Wagnerian sweeps of color and space.
Turner is one of favourites too :)
Good stuff Martin, you make me more addict to learn from your tutorials. I am still a beginner using Photoshop and I find your tutorials very helpful.
Best Regards.
Mario

Nice work. This is an excellent tutorial. Thanks for sharing knowledge with others.
Can’t stand your accent.
Great tut though.
