This is some really cool stuff man, I'm thinking about getting into painting, any tips?
No loving clue. I'm pretty much winging it.
I'd suggest painting from a reference for your first couple of paintings, since you kind of get a better hand on things like perspective and anatomy when doing this (if you want a comparison, compare my first to my second. my second painting was from a reference).
Something that's probably pretty obvious but was helpful to me, is that you can draw on your canvas with a pencil or a pen so you have a general idea of what you're going to be painting before you actually paint it. It's helpful if you use washes for base coats because the marks show through washes.
