Hi guys, this is a quick tutorial on some basic shading techniques I do on my artworks. It also contains a speed paint for my artwork "DUM SPIRO".

This artwork portrays me a lot.

The blood flowing down from the "Man", and the brush acting as a the medium, filled with his blood acts as the ink, symbolizes the blood, sweat and tears to create his beautiful character and world.

The dark thorn veins constricting the body  symbolizes the hardships and obstacles in life, trying to prevent the man from doing his passion.

The "Girl", the character and the world she lives is in tears as she sees the struggles of her creator went through just to bring life to her and the only sole being who appreciates him.

The concept behind the artwork is on the upper portion symbolizes struggle, depression, stress and other encumbrances anyone goes through life, and the lower portion symbolizes the beautiful creation you can do if you
put every ounce of passion on what you are doing despite all odds.. Hence the title "Dum Spiro", "while I breathe, I hope".

Hope you guys like it.
