For a long time I’ve been wanting to learn and create digital art similar to that of Guild Wars 2 paintings. Yet, I’m not sure where to start, what tools to have, which brushes, and so on.

I’ll be thrilled and amazed if I learn and eventually create drawings similar as those placed in the attachments

Can anyone help me out on pointing out where to start, if there is any online tutorial/course I can join to learn, activities, places where I can download resources, to whom I can approach and general ideas/tips? Have been searching for a couple of days now, sadly I haven’t found anything close to what I’m trying to achieve.

I’ll be more than grateful with the support given and thank you in advance for the replies.

There’s been some videos (from ArenaNet) showing one (or more) of the artists using paint tools to create some of the art used by the Studio from start to finish. I think they were first posted in the News Blog. Whether it was the current News Blog, or the previous (old) News Blog, I’m not sure. But you can use the Wayback Machine to access the previous News Blog, if they aren’t in the current one.

Good luck.

@Inculpatus: Thank you for the replay. I’ll be checking old Guild Wars 2 videos and trying to reach those news blogs.

@Paige: If I find anything worth sharing, I’ll be letting you know. Wish you the best of lucks if you also decide to investigate and try it out.

Alright! after ALOT of digging around on the forums and other places.
I think I may have found some things to help us both and other that may look for this later on, so I will post it here.

I’ve also seen people point to these kits as “helpful” when learning, I haven’t tried any of this myself just yet but alot of it seems helpful and I will be trying it out when I have time.
