Great video. I'm definitely one that falls into that category of going too detailed too fast. Or at least making whats normally a failed attempt of trying to. I need to learn to just block stuff in and then add detail/smooth it later. I don't know why thats so hard to do... You'd think it would be easier and the natural first step. Its easier to crawl before you walk, so why rush to walk and keep falling? Yet I keep doing it...

Anyway, the video was very informative. I'm looking for others done by you and downloading the ones that I've found.

You talk a lot about things that save time and sort of boost productivity, but the first thing I notice in your work is the realistic colors you use that really seem to top off the level of realism. Especially with this hair video that I'm watching. Even at relatively low levels of detail, the color still brings it to life. I know this is something that can only be learned with time, but maybe you could put something together with the key points that you've learned through your time and experiences. Things that you've found to be common mistakes with common things where simple fixes often tie the knot and fill the gaps. If that makes sense...

Like your skin where you're adding subtle pinks and yellows. That sort of thing, where as someone new to painting would automatically just throw some light tan colors on there and wonder whats wrong.

Tips and Tricks of Color :) That would be nice. Or anything really. You seem to be a good teacher.
