Excellent Digital Painting Video Tutorial for Beginners. If you’re a noob in digital painting and struggling to create your first digital masterpiece, you need a very good video tutorial to get you up to speed fast. Otherwise, you will quickly run into problems and get frustrated fast. I have tried many tutorials on the web but a lot of them assume you already know what settings to use for paint brushes in Photoshop, such as what size, shape, opacity and flow, and how to apply colors, textures and blending to your painting. Other video tutorials were recorded several times faster than normal or recorded without sounds so you wouldn’t really learn from them. This is where I will share one digital painting video tutorial that I found when I was starting that really got me up and painting in no time. Update: Neil has given me permission to upload the video on the web, so now you can view it directly below.

Cheers !! Asahi. THE ART CENTER / Sharing Ideas And Tips From Artist To Artist. Someone asked a question about the process of painting a character, so I'll take a stab at that one. There are many processes that each have their strengths, but for the sake of learning this is what I'd suggest. This process is based around the way 3d rendering programs work, using separate passes and combining them together for the final effect.
Separating the processes in this way helps you think through what needs to be done. First of all, start with a sketch. Don't try to design a character as you paint, unless you are really advanced and probably not even then. Pick up the lines as a layer, and switch the layer type to multiply or Gel if you're in Painter. These next steps can almost be done in any order. On a separate layer, paint the occlusion in. Now, on a new layer, paint in a single light source. Here is what the lighting layer and the occlusion layer look like when they're both visible on a blank background. Using the Mixer Brush tool in Photoshop CS5 and CS6. Posted in: Tips & Tutorials, by The Advanced Photoshop Team The Mixer Brush tool is selected from the same option set as the Brush tool.
With this brush selected, you can combine multiple colours on one tip, as you would in a real-life painting. For even more realism, the Mixer Brush tool has a host of controls over paint wetness, the load rate for paint, the rate at which paint mixes and whether a brush is cleaned, refilled or both after every stroke. Step 1: Load or clean the brush Here you can pick what happens with the brush once you have made a new stroke. Step 2: Brush presets There are a whole bunch of presets for the Mixer Brush, as shown here. Step 3: Sample all layers If you want to turn a photo into a painting, you can create a blank layer on top of the photo to paint on and then tick this box. How to create a concept painting in Photoshop, part 1.
Download all the files needed for this tutorial (select ‘Mechanical Concepts’ from the list) Step 01 Regardless of how you get to this step – a simple 3D model, a sketch from a piece of paper, or a crude 3D rough draft from a client – the best thing to start with is a solid line drawing of your tank. From here, we create a new layer set to Multiply blending mode and fill the drawing with solid 50% grey.
Step 02 While the line drawing may give your tank shape, adding very simple, solid shadows will give your tank its form. Step 03 Early in the process, your painting should read well in light and shadow values. Step 04 Now that the base colour is established, it’s time to massage it a bit, while staying very simple and only addressing the overall tones of the image. Step 05 At this stage in our image we check for mistakes that may have occurred when adding in our base coat.
Step 06 Step 07 Photoshop has many methods of streamlining a workflow. Step 08 Step 09 Step 10. Making of Judith. I always found Judith to be one of the most fascinating characters – there aren’t many strong women characters in ancient history and she is definitely one to remember. Here’s a shortened version of her story: My first attempt to depict this character took place around four years ago and I never managed to finish the work.
During the following years I kept coming back to the theme and right now I cannot even count the number of times I battled with the subject.... The image you see I started somewhere in December 2008 and it took me a very long time to finish. Being silent for the past 1.5 years, I thought it would be a cool thing to come back with something special. Software used: Adobe Photoshop Brushes used: Ragged Hard Round, Airbrush and occasional custom brushes Time spent: 35-40 hours of basic work + 5 hours for touchups 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Making of Journey Across the Desert. Making of Journey Across the Desertby Daniel Romanovsky, CanadaWeb: www.formlanguage.net About the Image - This image was a personal project, I wanted to paint an exotic open desert landscape and imbue with a sense of mystery.
The painting was created using Adobe Photoshop CS3, took approximately 8 hours of work over the course of two days. As you are about to see, I used a direct mass painting approach working without a preliminary drawing. I choose several of Jean-Lean Gerome’s paintings with a similar theme to use as a reference for my color pallet and composition. I highly recommend studying the works of classical painters to enhance your understanding of artistic techniques. Considering that the image is primarily a horizontal composition, I choose a pretty wide aspect ratio. The next step was to block in the sky, I used mostly gray blues with a little bit of earth tones to help blend it with a ground. Painting the ground plane was a very similar process, keeping it pretty simple.
Making of Twisted Mind of Puyuh. Making of Twisted Mind of Puyuhby Leong Wan Kok, Malaysia Web: www.1000tentacles.com Hi, I’m WanKok. I have been involved in art industry for almost 12 years. Over my career path, I’ve been exposed to different techniques of creating digital art work for game industry, post production and publishing company. These experiences have somehow helped build up my personal way of rendering a scenes. In this tutorial, I’m happy to share my techniques and will walk you through the many steps I take, from initial conceptual work to final rendering. Basically, this tutorial divides into 5 main sections: Brain Storming; Prior to Coloring; Coloring; Texturing; Final Touch Up.
As always, it is vital to know what’s your artistic direction prior to painting. Brain Storming Read the design brief carefully. Prior to Coloring Once the layout is done, get it scanned. Coloring On top of the layer, open a new one. Making of Junk Tree Paradise. Step 1 - Start out with thumbnail sketches to rough out the ideas. I choose the bottom one. The idea was "kids who survived from the destruction of world war III and found the beauty and hope in the world. " I added a new layer in photoshop, underneath the drawing and begin coloring the details. Afterwards I make a 3rd layer on top of everything and begin to paint on top of the initial drawing and under color layers. Note (I also add a overlayer layer on top of everything and paint in some violets, yellows, and blues to warm and saturate the picture more.
Then I add a Photofilter set to Warmer Filter (85) to warm it even more. All these things gives the picture more life.) Step 3: I flatten the image and decided to stretch the canvas out more horizontally as my ideas begin to change. Also I'm flipping the canvas constantly to make sure things are working right. Painting Megaman. I started out with a rough sketch based on the idea that I had seen in the reference image of Megaman and his bird ship.
I tried finding an interesting composition of Megaman flying towards the camera through this sketching stage. I already had a rough idea for the colors so I wanted to block out the sky, clouds and ground colors with an opaque and semi transparent brush. In the next stage I blocked out the flat base colors for the characters and the ship. Keeping in mind what time of day it is (the sun’s position) and where the light source is coming from. This I can use to show the specularity in the metallic surfaces and where the casted shadows will go. Now I have my background, characters and all other elements. I laid a grid down and divide the image by 9 rectangles. Making of Weird Friendship. Introduction Well this is the making of my painting “Weird Friendship” and actually I wasn’t planning on doing this “making of” so this isn’t going to be so detailed.
But I still hope that you can learn and get some inspiration about this project. I used Photoshop CS5 and a WACOM Classic A6 the original size of the painting is 4581 * 7000 px - 300 dpi Sketches & References Well most of my paintings are realistic; I mix my imagination and reality such as this painting. The idea of this one came from “Bremer Stadtmusikanten” and I translated to my idea, so I started by looking for inspiration and references to help me develop my concept. Here is the concept and sketch of the composition. Step 1 - First of all I set the background at 50% grey, create a new layer above the background and its gona be the layer of sketching.
Step 2 - Now I am going to add another layer and this one will be for the light and shadows. Making of New Species. Hello everyone, I am Udara Chinthaka from Sri Lanka. This is my latest Illustration – New Species. First off I want to thank CG Arena for giving me the opportunity to share the process of making “New Species” with you guys. My initial idea was to create a funny looking Dentist who looks impressed of a large tooth he just pulled out, but as kept drawing it the idea changed into a “Scientist who just discovered a new species”.
I used Photoshop CS and Genius G-Pen 450 (4” x 5.5”) Tablet to create this. This illustration’s original resolution is 2657 x 3636px, 300dpi. First I drew a rough pencil sketch on an A4 paper, scanned it and imported into Photoshop. The below example show a process shot of drawing the skin. The same technique was applied for the rest of the painting. Below is a process shot of the cloth texture. Painting Monkey in Photoshop. Hello Everyone! In this tutorial, I will guide you through the whole process, from the initial sketch design to the final presentable painting all using Adobe Photoshop CS5 (this process can be applied to all the versions of Photoshop). The techniques I will use to create this illustration will be fairly simple and I hope it will definitely help you to understand the throughout process.
I would like to thank Joel Sartore for the beautiful photography of the subject. Starting off with the initial sketch design, I prepared my brush palette by selecting a simple “Hard Round brush” tool that comes default with the Photoshop versions. For Brush Settings, I switch “On” the “Shape Dynamics” settings. After the basic block out, I started off with the shading part, I used crosshatching techniques and some random strokes wherever I felt necessary keeping in mind the light direction I needed for the final painting. Making of How to Train your Creature. These are the few important steps of my personal illustration “How to train your creature”. I used Photoshop CS2 and a Wacom Intuos4 for the painting. The inspirations came from my experience and some animation movies from Pixar studio. The concept story of the image is about the boy from the unbelievable island wanted to train his Dog + Parrot + Monkey (creature). He wants to ride his creature and fly around the world.
STEP 1 - I have created the sketch to make the best composition for telling the story to my image audience. In this picture I need some dynamic movement so the prominent point is very important. STEP 2 - When I felt my sketch is quite nice, I have created the light and add the color to control the theme and tone. STEP 3 - I made the color for the prominent point (red) after that when I completed the sketch process. Project Overview - No Monster Here. Making of Call It by Ed Lester Reyes.
