Chapter 7. Red Riding Hood

The painting for this tutorial is based on the fairytale Little Red Riding Hood and is pretty straightforward. Most of the tutorial will take place in the painting of the background.

A combination of techniques is used to paint the dense undergrowth in the background. This includes the creative use of paper textures, patterns, custom brushes, and the image hose. Some of these techniques were demonstrated individually in earlier chapters, but this chapter combines them to paint the background on which the heroine does her thing.

Red herself is simply painted using just a few brushes. There really is no special technique used to paint the main character.
