  • Having done a little digital painting and needing to get back into it, this reminds me not to be over-perfectionist. As you can see with all similar videos, there is always tons of touch-up, paint over, touch-up, paint-over that it's possible to have a completely great looking piece of art long before you are "finished." I think once you get the highlight/shadows right the first time, skip to the more important details to save yourself a ton of work/headache.

  • What is the name of the first song?

  • I was a comics illustrator using traditional media but this video inspires me to practice more on digital paintings. Great work! I know you are an expert illustrator by the way you draw your figure. Thanks for this upload.

  • I am wondering what program did you use? :O

  • @mawx1993 I'm guessing Corel Painter, by looking at the tags.

  • Great job, great skills and technique. Although the music you chose is making me vomit.

  • You rule!

  • Happy eyes, sad ears.

  • nice work :) really time?

  • this i simply amaizing...no words to describe it...im a new beginner with the adobe painting..though i have a gr8 skill with the pencil and watercolor...im a character desinger...now i want to change them to colorful paintings...but to get this quality surely wont come in 1 day. a week or a month.this is years of practice...i hope i get gud command in ps paintings, like this person has in this video..bravo man..gr8 work! i like ur style of work..

  • Damn, I love this vid. The music is amazing, the painting itself is amazing. I love the way you're passively teaching us -> making us use our EYES instead of EARS as much.

    Simply put: you are amazing.

    Thank you Mr. (:

  • @vaibhavroys dude he is just showing the process, in the title discription there isnt anything about this being a tutorial

  • I wish I had this ability, I'm usually too impatient to sit with my digital painting work for too long.

  • i love your lighting and the details!!

    at first, i was questioning the outcome based on the beginning sketch, but it's just a sketch...very good to see your process!

  • Comment removed

  • Amazing!

  • i don't wonne be the bad guy, but in 1:31 to 1:32 the picture of the girl is changing very problematic. can you tell me, why the girl in 1:31 has no shadow under her armpit and in 1:32, what a wonder, there it is. and you don't do anything at this point. it's very strange. sorry.

  • @HandsOnKeysGames But she did have shadow.. :< It's just really light. Then he did some sort of filter that made the colors more vibrant and it's easier to see.

  • @HandsOnKeysGames I think the artist adjusted the contrast of a layer that had light shading.

  • Great! I like it)

  • If you find this teaches you nothing, then videos like this are too advanced for you, and you should go find some worded tutorials. They're the best for learning the tools and techniques of digital painting. After a while, you move beyond what those kinds of tutorials can teach you, and instead draw inspirations and develop new techniques from studying finished artworks and watching how other artists do theirs. Art has no formula or cheat sheet that can be taught.

  • Name of music pliz!!

  • Teaches nothing. It is a very talented artist showing off his skill. There is no process here.

  • @TheRealLifeOfRiley

    It only teaches nothing if you have no intention of learning anything.

  • @TheRealLifeOfRiley I don't recall anywhere in the video description where it says the intent of this is to "teach". Though that doesn't mean you still can't learn from observation. "Where I show my process" isn't the same as "This video is a detailed tutorial where I teach you step by step what I do to get the results I have."

  • This isn't a 'How to Photoshop', this is 'How to Draw' - and the best way to do that next to practice is to observe.

  • Lol for me even a eighth way through this video would have been a finished painting in my eyes.. my standards are relatively low it seems

  • Photoshop is extremely complex, and its nice to have help, or peoples opinions on how to do things, it gives people some hope that they can be good. If you mess with photoshop to much, you end up messing up some automatic features, I did that once, trying to discover some things with photoshop elements, and completely messed up my brushes. Just offer up the help if someone asks

  • Wait! What happend on 1:39? Suddenly the whole picture became realistic!

  • I love the process you chose. The results were unexpected from original sketch. I'm sometimes a messy painter, so I need to polish my process a bit. Don't be discouraged by the cmts here. Ppl can definitely learn from just watching "the process" as much as a tutorial. Tutorials don't necessarily help you paint better. A lot of getting better as an artist is learning to paint something the way you want it to appear and learning to imply things. Requires more observation/patience than 'steps'.

  • don't worry if your methods may not be as advanced as this video. if it works for you, then it works for you

  • very nice illustration, even more impressed if its drawn with a mouse ;)

  • awesome! My only complaint is that the name of the song wasn't included :(

  • what song is this!?

  • where you learned to color?

  • I think this tutorial is not for beginners. Awesome work though. 

  • @spikes642 then again if you're not a beginner why would you be watching tutorials anyways

  • @EvilJirachi If someone isn't a beginner, sometimes its refreshing to see other artists take on their artwork, and see the different techniques they may have used to achieve a certain look. There is no one great artist in the world that rules supreme over all other artists. There is so much artistic talent out here, its hard to NOT want to get ideas from others ya know?

  • @Sugars00 but its just a standard profile painting of a warrior girl done millions of times

  • @EvilJirachi But with the point I'm trying to make, that's not what matters. I'm specifically talking about talent, skill and techniques

  • I think this tutorial is not for beginners. Awesome work though.

  • ah ok i get it..

  • Hey what about this: if at least one person learned something in this video, then its useful. It would be useless if it was a video of a picture.

  • the song is awsome. just like this artist.

  • very cool video

  • well it says it at the top is a process not a tutorial

  • For those who think they didn't learn much, well, this vid is not a TUTORIAL. Is a glimpse of the PROCESS of creating. Whether you learned something or not is not his problem.

  • How is this any more of him saying, "Look what I can do" than just showing the final product?

  • people hate how people use this method these days... i say what the hell do you know... conept artists have deadlines, multiple ideas that need to be drawn out over a course of a couple of hours and if digital painting makes things just a lil easier to reach those deadlinesthen so what, the ideas still drawn, its only finalised once it starts getting painted

  • The thing with people who complains about speed painting videos is that they don't know how the program or, "the behind the scene" stuff works. I think that when you have read books looked up other "basic" program videos you will find these kind of videos very useful to you.

  • i watch these videos because they help me improve

  • And to think...old Frank Frazetta did it all without a computer

  • @BigFatLoserDude Did you know Frank Frazetta was clueless when it came to drawing feet? Look at all of his work and see how many feet you can count.

  • Comment removed

  • Stop bitching. If you want to see a Tutorial. Go look one up.

    Personally, I like just watching people speed paint, excuse me for not being a tutorial whore.

  • OMG THIS IS AWSOME

  • Whats up with the know it alls on this video? Just appreciate the video for what it is, use it as inspiration, and practice practice practice.

  • I'm surprised people think this doesn't teach much. I personally don't want to know what things the artist clicked in the tool bar. I can figure out that on my own. That's book learning type stuff. I learn way more by watching the decision making outcomes. The whole video is a PROCESS. A thought process. Not a robotic, click here, then click here, cheat. Nothings going to cure that besides hours and hours playing with the program yourself.

  • @cranscape So true

  • @cranscape exactly!

  • @cranscape Ah well yeah...for thought process ANYTHING is useful. You can post a 10 min video of dripping water and say the same thing "So that's how water works".......but no one would know what menu you chose to REPLICATE it and anyone used to Painter for example would pretty much be starting form scratch.....sooooooo, it's beautiful sure....but you still have to reverse engineer the entire video to glean any of the process.

  • @cranscape I very much agree with you. I hate watching instructional vids with a step by step description of what to do, explaining stuff I can easily figure out on my own.

  • @cranscape

    While I agree this video does teach a lot, I think it's utterly silly to call knowing which tools they used to do what "cheating". Yes playing for hours in the program yourself is great, but at the same time not everyone expects you to reinvent the wheel when you're first learning how to do something.

  • @cranscape I agree. This video doesn't need to outright tell you how to do something, it's all in what you can observe in the process that you learn the most, like right now I really stink at lighting on humans, and I learned a bit more on how to do this by watching the video

  • @cranscape

    However to a novice, the decisions made are not so obvious. A novice will not know how to produce some of these effects and "decisions". example, what are the layer settings, what are the brush opacities? etc....

  • @cranscape agreed. I learn through practice and observation. :]

  • genial!!! nada mas que decir xD

  • wow ..... I can easily understand what he is doing .... you just need learn a little about the tools and its easy follow along ....

  • This is amazing! Thank you.

    You guys want tutorials, look for "tutorials". Stop the bitchin'.

    dam

  • ya like all the speed paint vids just show their pic like flyin around and shit with a lot of windows and stuff popin in for a sec. most of the people who search this up wana learn drawing with digital technology but dont get me wrong this guy is still really good at wat he does

  • I don't get it why show this in speeded up time rather than someone just showing just a few tips in drawing an image. I'm sure this type of painting took all day with the many choices that the artist had to make in coming up with this image.

  • I don't think they're useless. They show the exact painting process which could benefit intermediate level artists. However if you don't know anything about the software or you only start to learn to paint, there's no point watching them. Try something else.

  • I Like how in the beginning it was a somewhat flat drawing and i didn't think it'd go anywhere impressive but as it went on with addingn lighting/color it really started to look pro. It looks like he really didn't use much any layering anyway. in real painting you don't use layers at all either though

  • HOT

  • Does the number of layers give a direct correlation of ePenis size?

  • Ehm, really? Sure, it dosn't explain much but it's a speed painting, it's just suppose to quickly show someones process and get you inspired.

  • doesn't even say how many layers are used...

  • @GarlandFraser in the end it doesnt matter because they'll all get merged anyways

  • @GarlandFraser hows that gonna help?xD

  • @blackbonexxx Easy, it says that either the artist is working with one continuous layer using brush settings, or it's made with several layers using opacity settings.

  • @GarlandFraser I was being sarcastic xD but in this case you can do the same with one or 100 layers since he is always painting over

  • It may seem like you never get anywhere at times. Like you are wasting your time drawing nothing. But just the very act of using your hands to create whatever, every day.. consistently, pushes you more than you may think towards that level you want to be at. Don't give up, just make create, make, create, and create some more. You have the capacity to do it if you just try, and I mean really try. Nothing can stop you but yourself. Just say fuck it and do do do do.

  • Aw waow :D Gratuitous amounts of FruityLoops :D Nice work, not too keen on the face and the back around the shoulders - looks a little too skeletal.

  • NIce rendering, but OH MY GOD, thats the kind of a situation when one makes such beautiful strokes, describing something balanced and expressive .. and then goes in and fucks it up completely by painting over. :) And thats one of the things the academic education can give you - it teaches you to see such things. I assume the guy is self-taught.

  • @CatzLV Doubt he is self taught.

  • BEAUTIFUL ... INSPIRING.. THANK YOU FOR SHARING, KEEP CREATING PAZ

  • I bought a Intous 4 and got mad skills right away. Never drawn before in my life. It's magic.

  • I am no good at blending skin tones....gosh....as for airbrushing, do you use smudging or blurring??

  • @ryovan Eyedrop a color close by, set your opacity to 10% and that's how you blend

  • @NeccoWecco

    Thanks for the reply. Really appreciate it. Will take note of that definitely. :)

  • Hmmm...while I do prefer the basic soft round only,this is quite interesting outcome...

  • WoW it,s Awesome... great

    i have a question,

    What is the first musik ?

    Thank^s

  • it´s fits very nice with the music just about when it really get a shape... :)

  • wow this video makes me want to open up photoshop and justttt paint :)

  • I like the music in the background, would you mind posting the name?

  • could i use the ipad and the dagi stylus to make this kind of draw?

    Is there any dagi stylus that feels more as a real pen? whats better a wacom or an 16gb ipad? (wacom of the same price as the 16gb ipad)

  • @elDreDas the entire purpose of a wacom is to supply a sense of reality when digitally creating artwork. iPad's are marketed for many other purposes, and drawing really isnt their focus.

    Soooo, if you're looking to create anything near what the video shows above, you're gonna need a drawing tablet. I suggest a wacom Bamboo if you dont want to blow a ton of cash. Got mine for 40 bucks, works very well for the money i spent on it, too.

  • PLEASEE MANN PLEASEE make a tutorial where we could see step by step ( slowly) how did you make this beautiful image, please this is my pasion, im learning english because of this, some day i would like to be the best comic book artist, and the best with photoshop at painting draws!

  • dude i have some characters, i want to paint them the same way you painted this woman, please make a tutorial!

  • @elDreDas knowing the steps isnt enough pal. =/

    even after you know how to use a medium, it takes hundreds of tries before it really even starts to look respectable.

  • @FenrusU I am a pro drawer on paper, i am beginning with digital painting and a tutorial a SLOW TALKED TUTORIAL would help me a lot, i have an intuos4 medium and know what i want i just need to learn how to apply color

  • @elDreDas

    paper and pixels are very different mediums, like ive said dude.

    its like comparing watercolor with chalk, they're completely seperate shows, given that some extent of one's knowledge of art can be applied from one to the other.

  • Nice drawing! Is that done with a tablet? What is this music ?

  • How long did it take you in total?

  • music is so shit

  • Now is this on the internet somewhere, this picture? It's gorgeous.

  • What computer program is this? please respond asap!

  • @Hartbrother3 Photoshop. calm down and be a little more respectful.

  • @gamersgene lol sorry I really want to learn! :P

  • Pencil and paper are good, but you can still learn on a wacom and in PS

  • Pretty cool vid although I thought it was gonna be a tutorial. What's the name of the first track?

  • Looks like photoshop or paint program. Really nice work. I wonder how long did this take?

  • digital paint ...what is the softwere

  • @914peru Corel Painter

  • Make a bigger nipple please. =)

  • how on earth can you see what you are doing without zooming in? I may need glasses. Way cool to see such talent.

  • nice.

  • great work but how did you change the skin color in 1:40?

  • Why do people just browse these kinda of videos expecting to suddenly learn how to make a digital painting?

    Powerful software like Corel Painter or Photoshop only counts for so much, and the same can be said for having access to a large range of high quality traditional materials.

    You still have to learn the fundamentals; no amount of instruction videos can teach you how to draw, you have to put in at least a couple of years practice to get to this level.

    And don't say it's all talent, either

  • @Zhokul that's true however Some people learn by being exposed to something, I guess it sets a standard for you

  • im guessing this is on corel painter 11. i just got the trial version, but its a bit different from photoshop, but i really want to know how you managed a lot of the awesomeness you just did. its like i have an idea, but i don't know the program

    awesome painting! an excellent example of quality work

  • beautiful

  • That's my dream

  • haha dudes. before you buy the equipment you have to get one thing that you can't buy. knowlegde. you get knowledge from experience and experience from practice.

    i suggest pencil and paper :-)

  • @worn1 if youre serious about drawing, you can practice just the same on the tablet lol.

  • @Bidon45 No real point as in scanning your pencil drawings still works way better when creating something your self so learning with a pencil in paper is a must imo

  • @worn1 photoshop is cheaper in the long term tbh

  • @werty302 oh yeah it pays for itself in the long run

  • @worn1 actually i feel much more comfortable with tablet and pen then with pencil and paper but of course everything originates in pen and paper :)

    so i would suggest you buy something cheap for the beginning just to try it out :)

  • @worn1 OMG, I always thought a WACOM gave you talent. XD

  • @worn1 You did spell knowledge incorrectly for a sense of irony of course, yes?

  • @worn1 I suggest a tablet. In the long run, I admit in the very long run but none the less, in the long run it will be cheaper. You can get a Wacom Bamboo Pen tablet for 60 bucks now so it's not expensive.

  • @worn1 Too true, brotha.

  • @worn1 slightly false cause there are books like Bridgeman and Loomis you have to buy for a even better grounding on anatomy of humans. Then there are plenty on life studies and drawing and how you can train your brain around it that can augment and heavily improve self learning.

    Tough i'm just being a smartass really. You message is right though avoid going around buying fancy shit cause it wont make you better.

  • Comment removed

  • @worn1 Yeah. i just took a quick look and his stuff is great. Chances are it is in English but not easy to get.

  • @worn1 you should write a 'digital painting for dummies' book.

  • @dexigner01 yeah probably youre right dude.

    if you got any problems, check kunstnet(dot)de(slash)worn, and ask again if i you need help ;-)

    greetz from germany

  • thats was tight im impressed

  • check out more Art Instruction videos 3kickstudio

  • Did you make the original image by your self, or did you just get it of the internet?

  • WAHHHHH IM SOOOOOOOOO JEALOUSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS­SSSSS =[ I practice all the time, but I just SUCK...omg -.-

  • it's best to learn it your own way's and your own style because it art got to do it your way you just can't use other people skills pretty much just have to learn and play with the tool you gotten ^^;;

  • There is no right or wrong Brush. Just try till you find your set of brushes...

  • ok i just downloaded corel painter 9.. but i don't know what brushes to use?

  • Spent enough time pissing about on the shoulder, but a very nice piece

  • @Necromalix worth it : )

  • very nice!!

  • very nice!!!

  • Photoshop does way more than photo's it has 3d integration (z-brush) and animation... I agree that Photoshop is limited in the painting field, but there is a tab in photoshop specifically for painting so it must be good for something. Corel Painter without a tablet is kinda useless and limited. Also, gotta love that erase tool. Don't get me wrong, I am def not bashing corel. I just prefer the Adobe Suite.

  • Considering Painter:

    I have a Core 2 Quad machine with 8800 GTS nVidia (i know it's not Quadro and not accelerating 2d) and 8Gb of RAM, but that dumbass painter is still very slow, when I draw on canvases like 3000x3000px. And often, I need bigger canvases... I wish they will put alot of effort to optimise that dumbass-slow software...

  • @wizekorn Get an older version, I use Painter X and it works fine for me.

    Some people go as far back as 6, but you're painting at huge res's. You should size up to that res later and just clean up with smaller brushes because you're going to lag.

  • Wow you are amazing

  • MrDefaulto I totally agree.

  • That's the worst techno track I ever heard. And he seems to be obsessed with armpits. He probably spent 2 hours repainting it over and over again.

  • @Parz1fal

    Whatever needs to be done to get it right. if you don't like the music, mute it.

  • what's the tool you use to mix the colors as the background? blur?

  • it was a pleasure to watch you work, thank you for sharing.

  • this is very informative for a visual learner. Thanks for the upload!

  • Wish someone would post up a link to a tut with some techniques. I like watching these speed paintings, but it's hard to actually see what they're doing :/ I have a wacom Intuos 3, and corel painter, photoshop cs3 and cs4 available to me. And I can't use any of them worth a flip for painting or drawing :/

  • gnomon workshops...a bit expensive but you will never get better tutorials. I have the intro to painter, very good!

  • @Victorthebattousai I feel exactly the same way.

  • @Victorthebattousa

    Its generally endless hrs of endless layers of minor detail dude

    Outline,fill,detailed lines,smudge,blur/sharpen,eras­e,sample colour,outline,fill,etc

    Taking each layer of detail as required & increasing/decreasing the fill,hue,saturation,contrast of that particular layer,generally

    Most find it easier to start by scanning an initial sketch,as well as using 1 of those pad thingies with the pen,though I taught myself b4 those pads were affordable,back on the Omega 500 in the 80's

  • @Victorthebattousai ive had the exact same problem when i got photoshop. i hadnt done any painting before, merely drawing with a pen. so i had to get used to "painting" really : just lay down all your colors, then melt them into each other and sharpen, tighten the form you got. add more and more details, always overpaint what you did before. thats how i try to do it and what i figured out from watching those speedapinting vids. but you gotta find out for yourself though :P

  • @Victorthebattousai same here, I have all the materials, but the talent? hmmmm =x

  • @Victorthebattousai I know exactly what you mean, no one on the internet wants to post like a 10 part full painting walk through with talking or something.

  • @Victorthebattousai if you want a link to a REALLY good comprehensive and understandable tutorial about how to paint in photoshop ill send you one, let me know if you do. It isnt just speed painting its a real tutorial.

  • @Bidon45 Would you be able to send me the link please? All I find on Youtube is speed painting vids labelled as tutorials -__-

  • @Victorthebattousai Buy a Photoshop course.

  • @Victorthebattousai practice practice practice :D

  • @Victorthebattousai Yeah, I'm tired of these speed paints too. I use Corel Painter, it's the best in my opinion. I have a lot of Corel tutorials. The best tutorials are by Jeremy Sutton. Google "Jeremy Sutton tutorials" I've downloaded a full DVD of him teaching Corel Painter. But I learned the most by just using Corel. If you have any questions about Corel you can also ask me.

  • @Victorthebattousai you should buy a cheaper tablet first then... i did that to , have a intuos 4 a4 tablet now... 1 tip shadow, light ,color, hair, eyes, sketch put them all in a seperated layer, good luck :)
