Pt1: Digital Painting of old man with Bobby Chiu

[MegaSpidey89]

here you are perfectly right about the job....im an art student but i lack sins i graduate the art highschool and now i dont even have the motivation to draw because this is what i must do every time. And it gets booring drawing agenst your will. Sorry for my bad english.

[marihuanamuffin]

thank you so much 4 these words, man. This is exactly how i feel right now. And it was exactly the right moment to hear that breaking out is not crazy.

no doubts anymore.

i love you. :>>>>

[miltonious]

Thank you for this. You've inspired me. You've reminded me why I love art again. I'm currently trapped in a comfortable cell. Art/animation is my "job". My art has been stale for 3 years now. Time to make a change...

[ednoroirika]

You don't even know how right you are Bobby, but I guess you do! Good stuff brother.And the art is sweet too! lol

[hannahalal]

great wisdom! very good advice. Thank you!

[vlodutz]

I LOVE ONE THING AT THIS PAINTINGS. (everything of course. but one thing specially) as soon as you get into painting the shadow/light the painting gains a depth that looks incredible it looks like a 3D model .awesome!!

[GgSoulsister]

Yeah really, fine art seems like a chore (so I stopped it) and anything that doesn't take too much time is what we're all about. I am like that too!

[smashedbros420]

check out williamshamir hes got some really good stuff.

[GgSoulsister]

Its like a characoal drawing!

[GgSoulsister]

So Bobby uses a big brush Ohhhh!!

[JordanMonnot]

what brush did he use?

[sabotagebeatz]

im trying to get back into drawing and i wanted to start doing animation but i wanted to know what tools do i need to do this on my computer, , its very hard to draw with a mouse

[randy106]

WACOM Table Pen, its kind of expensive but its worth it, go buy one!

[Aleque]

get a wacom tablet and use Flash

[mattmit]

Ideally, if money is not an issue, get a cintiq and get either TVPaint or Digicel Flipbook Pro, Flash is horrible to draw into compared to these 2 programs and has alot of features you dont need. You can get the regular flipbook but it only has 1 layer of animation and 1 background layer so theres no real oppertinity to cleanup. An intuous or bamboo tablet are fine too if youre on a budget.

[ffsage]

Love your artworks, Bobby. Been looking at them at CGSociety.

[paiduema]

Question: How do you use the double window thing in Photoshop?

[mattmit]

Window>Arrange>New Window For *whatever your project is called*

[SadeLe]

i hav a question? do u use a wacom intuos or a cintique?

[kyo102030]

I don't get this I guess i just didnt pay attension..jajajaja...lol

[hibane098]

very very nice video, but very very hard to hear :(.

[ironic440]

You are rigth about the diference to draw for fun or to draw for earn money making something that you don´t liked, when i was in art school i do works, that was the horst drawings i have made because i don´t feel notingh, i don´t whant something for obligation, best regards man of portugal

[Ekove]

damn the sound is too low to hear anything :(

[rrrorkk]

Cool art, what your saying makes a lot of sense

[carohearts]

sorry, my comment below was meant for another painting.. I was confused but I wanted to say here that I really liked to see the process of the old man painting. :)

[carohearts]

man, this painting really touched me. I never cried by seeing a painting and this one did make me cry. there's so much emotion and sadness in it, really well done. one of my favourite artworks ever.

[aidope]

great philosophy. ur cool bro

[mememezza]

'imaginism' ? skipped some english classes for your art ones then? you are possed of a wisdom beyond merely paintshop, namely a better program.

[yoops]

hes using photoshop not paintshop. and a company's name does not need to be correct... itd be a boring ass world if every company had to be correct on their naming.

[pcharp]

Bobby, this is very beautiful and inspiring. Thank you for posting this.

[UrbanTiger74]

You speak the truth Bobby. I have big responsibilities now and my artwork has taken a back seat. Don't get me wrong, I get a small piece out here and there, but not grand ones like back in the days. It's nice to hear a fellow artist feel the same way I do. Keep up with artwork. Simply amazing!

[buttnockernumber4]

haha at 1:40 it looks like a cartoon =P

[papilovesyou]

ey man, thanks alot for the advice.. i really apreciate it (really)

[catlover15489]

Thank you for sharing the words of your wisdom. :)

[ADITHX]

That made alot of sense. Very wise man.

[gustavogf]

I love your art, been a long time fan^^

The sound on this one is really low...

[generaldom]

Fantastic. This is art.

[naex2s]

Bobby, I just want to let you know that you make a big change in my life. Your art are beautiful and your words really reach me. Just want to say THANK YOU. Good luck with everything you do.

[Sycra]

Been following your work for a long time now. It was cool to see your art process, but I think I learned so much more from your words than your art. I'm glad you shared your wisdom in this area.
