Dan showcase his knowledge and skill as an artist in this tutorial and effectively communicates each stage of development. He explains his thought process and outlines why he has made the decisions he has. Knowledge of the programs is necessary before starting, but for someone proficient in the software, this makes for a good concise tutorial.
