In this tutorial I'll be showing how to paint realistic tree bark, branches etc. Incorporating the use of 1 very easy technique we can build a variety of tree bark textures to make our tree trunks and branches even more realistic.
I chose to paint Red Squirrel because the broken tree branch it's perched on had a few different textures so I could cover as many tips and techniques in the real time tutorial as possible.
The timelapse voice over tutorial of the Red Squirrel is up on YouTube which I'll link below :).
