Digital Figure Painting with James Kei - Adobe Photoshop

[TheRealLifeOfRiley]

This is painting/art 101. I, and I am sure many others as well, want to know how to do this in Photoshop. How many layers? When to use layers? What brushes in Photoshop?

Painting digitally is not like painting on a canvas. I'm fairly comfortable with that. What I want to know is how to translate that skill into this new digital medium.

[mittROMNEY666]

dude u rendered the abs out too much, shadoew is too dark there

[ianguage]

What happened to that dude's penis? Seriously, it's got the equipment for a female, but dammit it all, it's entire body structure has ZERO curveture and resembles that of a male. She needs to lay off the juice.

for everyone out there who paints digitally- what size do you tend to paint at?

I've been painting A3 because I think it gives a lot of scope for enlarging- but I end up with files that are over 1gb, and it really starts to slow down my system- so what do you guys do?

[thegurukl83]

A3 at 300dpi is pretty much standard i reckon. If you're serious about digital painting you should have a high spec comp to handle the load, i.e. at least 2 cpu cores, 2Gig ram (absolute minimum). the large file sizes are somewhat unavoidable although for larger format you can reduce dpi (bigger than A1). Faster Hard disks help with read/write speed of big files too. Basically you need a Mac lol.

[electriktricks]

thanks, I do use mac- a 2.4ghz macbook pro with 3gb ram. :)

I'll upgrade to 4gb soon, and maybe an SSD when they're cheaper. I work on battery a lot so I can't get a 7200rpm drive

I paint at 600 dpi, so maybe I could try it at 300 and see how it goes

thanks

you got a nude model and you put underwear on her ? why ? ... what was the point in having a nude model ?

[jester026]

the model was wearing underwear.

[lixandrocordero]

and....that was a tutorial ???...i mean , yes is a good job, and i guess this is the rush version , but that wasnt a tutorial...isnt it ?

[Pims1eur]

go buy the product and find out.. this is a trailer for the product they are selling...

[kahlil20ph]

i think this was a trailer for the tutorial from a dvd.

[Pawl2]

temperature?

[streomoene]

just in case you don't know what temperature is referring to... it's the range of cool to warm hues - think light blue to a fiery red/orange. i'm sure this isn't the best definition, but it'll give you an idea.

[vivien44]

niiiiiiiiice!!!!

[scottscorsa]

Who's your model? She's really good.

[monkeyksa]

ok nice painting man ...but???

why naked women!!??? ...did u forget what does god say about thats?? and about satan ??

[officeham]

are you serious?

[epi154]

i'm breathless! What a comment! hahahaha

[skuttling]

Oh yeah i forgot, I think it says something about they were in the garden, and they were naked, but they knew know shame... Something about them being naked and God not caring and neither did they until they started sinning.... I actually read my bible :-)

[yourjefe]

[bullmeecham]

My only comment is, I've put a lot of money into buying the Massive Black DVD's downloads, supporting the cause legally, whatnot. And here it is for free? WTF?

[revolutions34]

this is just a preview, not the high quality detail

[bullmeecham]

Ahh, I feel better already. Thanks.

[constableman]

painting looks very flat. but go on practising!

[normanweinberg]

Fantastic - great control, great eye for the detail as well as the bigger picture. Very natural.
