How to paint a portrait with photoshop and Wacom Tablet. Jlorka Speed Painting

[TheBlunt011]

wow

[Kanella2011]

Wow, very impressive. This is a 6' video, but in reality, how long did it take you to create this authentic piece of art?

[jlorka]

@Kanella2011 Thanks!

12 hs. approximately.

[Kanella2011]

@jlorka 12hrs only? You're indeed very good at what you do! Congrats!

[Klandestinie]

Anyone know the name of the song?

[wanlyute]

Wow what are the settings for your brush I would really like to know, because you are amazing and I would like to mess around with a brush like that.

[Xanderiel]

irritating music :-/

[blindedby2monkeys]

5 o'clock shadow ......... oops did i just say that out loud?

[thcia]

I like to paint in oils, acrylics and watercolours but have never mastered digital painting even though I have a wacom tablet. It's like trying to paint with my right hand ( I'm a southpaw). It's not much good for anything apart from adding tone and colour to pen and ink drawings, which I scan into my computer. Actually drawing with a pen tablet too difficult and frustrating, as I can never get the results I want. I guess you can't teach an old dog new tricks.

[SnowGinger101]

awesome job! though the title is a bit missleading, kinda missed out the whole " how to..." part. but still, the painting is sizzling!

[2jiraya]

not long ago even saw your videos and hope you continue to surprise me more about this than me being me is spectacular graphic designer is amazing what you greetings from mexico

[mangorzyca]

Totaally amazing. 

[dothisdothat321]

lol i hate these garbage videos that claim "how to" this doesnt show anything, title should be replaced with "How to tease people of my artistic abilities"

[flxcvz]

@dothisdothat321 These videos actually show how to draw and paint on a wacom tablet, thanks to them I'm now able to make thing that would amaze me just a few weeks ago, I am able to understand how to draw/paint with this videos, you should search for videos that claim "How to (step by step)" or "How to (for slow-brain morons)" I think that could help you :)

[dothisdothat321]

@flxcvz maybe you can go find a video titled "go fuck yourself"

[flxcvz]

@dothisdothat321 I'm ok thanks, I'm actually drawing.

[dothisdothat321]

@flxcvz good draw, dont talk shit online like me.

[flxcvz]

@dothisdothat321 That's actually a good tip, thanks for it, I'll keep it in mind. :)

[phelikz]

@dothisdothat321 U Mad?

[GeorgeMucollari]

William Adolphe Bouguereau one of my favourite. GREAT job!!!

[LoLlYpOpMaSsAcRe]

What type of brush did you use to draw?

[sheilademon]

how many hours do you make this?just curious

[evilpandaRO]

What brush do you use, good sir?

[XxMetalNerdxX]

Impressive.. do you offer any tutorials?

[X13ful]

Realy amazing, but i think this is not a "how to"... but i love it aniways!!

[MissMurder1243]

this is amazing and i was just wondering what brushes are you using?

[CanalTal]

Thank you... It´s funny because we can copy tthe masters but can we create new paintings as good as theirs? It´s far more difficult... You use photoshop like I´ve never seen anyone use before, congratulations.

[Sharnock21]

The painting technique is great, ive been modifying pictures for quite some time, some even extremes, but found it hard to do painting. im using only mouse, no tablet you see. So this is something really good here. Very awesome work. Besides the fact that she has no eyelashes on the left eye everything else is Magnifico.

[shizaep]

Absolutely breathtaking, I only dream of being as good of an artist as you...

*sign* maybe someday...in a long,long time

[kwuzie]

what brush/settings are you using for the shading? I have yet to find the perfect balance

[BuscettiByGianna]

So, did you draw in grayscale first then go over in color?

This is very nice...I wish I had a tablet to make my drawing easier

[LAURENdotjpeg]

wow.

[lotdproduction]

That was beautiful sir. Simply beautiful. Excellent choice of artist as well.

[jlorka]

@lotdproduction

Thanks

[AGAznB]

what kind of brush are you using in the very beginning? it looks just like a pencil!

and to color the drawing are you adjusting levels or using a tinted brush?

[AGAznB]

what kind of brush are you using in the very beginning? it looks just like a pencil!

[ooberstank0071]

UR STUPID AWESOME! THIS IS VERY VERY TALENTED ART WORK... THAT'S IT!!! I'M SUBSCRIBING TOO ALL UR VIDEOS. I LOVE STEPHANIE VALENTINES' WORK TOO, BUT I THINK U ARE TOP OF THE LINE BRILLIANT... WHO R U? AND WHERE DID U COME FROM? lol... I JUST WANNA KNOW 1 THING? WHATTYPE OF BRUSH DID U USE ON THE HAIR? UR AWESOME.

[thangnhodienkhung]

dude...you're not human...

[blooddarts1]

am sorry but can someone tell me how she suddently started adding the colors. everything was black and white then suddently colors.

[SamHain1031666]

Could you please make a similar video but in real time and guide us through what type of brushes you use to accomplish certain textures and also how you layer your work, i think your work is amazing

[nadera136]

OMG ur amazing!!! You should have million plus viewers man!!!

[DoctorLawyerWhatever]

I appreciate the work, but I fail to see how a "speed" video accomplishes anything for the viewer. A real time, step-by-step video would be involved, I realize, but so instructive.

[paulrgrubb]

OK...How are you guys making the speed video from photo shop? Is it a tool/history mode your in to copy everything you do??

How bout a tutorial on how to do that! Would be cool.

Let me know how to do this if you could! Thanks... Paul

[Chexpeare]

This is wonderful!

[fotsleukada]

Fantastic !!!

Φανταστικό ...!!!

[FallouT2000]

Whats the model of your tablet? I loved this kind of paint work and I'd love to try but I don't know if tablets with no screens are good enough =/

[MrCheezful]

what brush do you use for the pencil drawing in black/white? looks fabulous...

[Aquareladecolores]

Bellisimo

[CandyBailarina]

hermoso!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[SilviiR]

Magnifico!!! bellisimo

[Shirowd]

PLZ GUYS CAN ANYONE TELL ME THE NAME OF THIS TRACK ???

IT PLAYS IN JACKI CHAN'S MOVIE " SNAKE IN THE EAGLE'S SHADOW "

[KonekoKaira]

@Shirowd ~ Jean Michel Jarre - Oxygene 

[wrangler6m]

hi any body knows what kind of soft wear do i need for that ?

please let me know

thanks.

[KonekoKaira]

@wrangler6m probably just Photoshop, personally I use Photoshop CS4 but anything Photoshop 7 or upgraded should be just fine :D

-Hope I helped x

[wrangler6m]

the music is from Jean Michel Jarre - Oxygene

[wrangler6m]

Hi there i really enjoyed your work i do have a tablet pc pavilion tx2000 can i use it for drawing i do have pen for that i know i can do basic painting but the soft wear you use or other think i dont know what they are can you please drop me a line and let me know what kind of soft wear you are using thank you so much.

[EB88]

What song is this, I feel like I remember it from when I was a kid

[SuperGamer87]

Your Brush settings?

[nyny27]

would a bamboo tablet give the same ability? 

[SuperGamer87]

@nyny27 Hmm, it depends on which Bamboo tablet you own. I've owned both a Bamboo Pen and an Intuos4 (which I still own). But the Bamboo Pen only had 512 levels of pressure. For finer art like this, you'll need at least 1024 levels of pressure sensitivity. The Bamboo Pen & Touch model offers 1024 LOP, but I'm not sure how well it works. But if you have a Bamboo Pen & Touch, I think you are capable of this, because I've seen artists do this good on old Intuos3 models, which were all 1024 LOP.

[rizien]

What brush did you use to get the 'sketch' part done?

[j0hnnytamb0rine]

how many layers did you use to make this?? amazing.

[XPECTRON]

awesome

[screamobaby]

You are a Legend!

[rosesinvase]

How inspiring. :)

[eeeeefffff]

You're a master!

[elDreDas]

please make a tutorial! BRAVISIMO

[elDreDas]

what wacom did you use?

[x3Heroiinex3]

Hi !!

wich brushs did you use ??

[alcon8]

extraoridinario copista, aunque el original siempre es el mejor

[polengsantiago]

aww men, makes me so envious...

i find it harder to draw on the computer with a tablet than to draw in real life *SIGH*

-_-

[wiliangats]

bom...



[themsnurses]

Puedo ver este trabajo mil veces..y me encanta siempre!

[LacrimD]

Hi! It's amazing. I learn to draw alone and I start to draw with a tablet. I'm still at the realistic black and white, but I hope to graze your level ><.

So! Good continuation!

[TheTattooninja]

this is awesome i can draw and want start doing it on my computer can you give me an idea on how much it will set me back please :)

[WATSnotTOlike]

wat wacom tablet did u use?? awesome job

[mamta07]

Really very good!

[chino909310]

hey what brush, size , and opocaity settings you used durinng this videos...???

[chino909310]

AWSOME

[GM3LE]

Jlorka can you please help me. I need to figure out how you set your brushes. Those lines you did for the hair is amazing and I can't seem to get it like that. PLS!!!!

[Taraborn]

qué tableta usaste? especialmente me interesaría saber el tamaño. ¿Crees que con una de tamaño Small sería suficiente?

[alcon8]

William Bouguereau was a genius

[sesrun82]

Senor Amigo, un video maravilloso, la obra,el proceso de trabajo, la musica- impresionante.Carinos!

[whitehiliter]

why is this a how to? It shows nothing? Rename it to a speed painting

[c0ddlefl0p]

How did you get that nice pencil texture to sketch at the start?

[Zoluwizo]

i would paint my own porn with that talent

[lvgraham]

first video demonstrating wacom that made me want to buy one.

[AdeezAnnieBeautyAAS]

Amazing! If you don't mind my asking, how long did it really take you to do it?

[JayMeArt]

Beautiful =)

[jesuslovesalle]

hi! how did you VIDEO this down?

[syntaxengot000]

Wow, awesomeness

[bluespirtsam]

wow do 1 of the queen of england please xP

[TyrannusBestia]

Oh my god, this is such an amazing "how to"

You don't explain jack shit, dude, don't put "How to" if you're not going to explain HOW TO.

[alkillen]

what model tablet is that?

[Sakumiku]

Misleading title. Without talking us through the steps involved and by speeding up the process how are we supposed to learn "how to paint a portrait"? This isn't a tutorial so why the misleading title?

You're artwork is very impressive though.

[Euphoarjp]

Me encantan! Muy bueno y esa mirada que creas en los personajes! Te felicito!!!

No tendras algun tutorial por ahi no?

saludos!!!

[converselucy]

OMG

Awesome Dedication!!

[wjrmonkey]

Nice, has good quality. But just like Bouguereau's originals in general, lacking the last stroke of genius.

[tangkag879]

i need wacom pen gotta buy it it's not available in our cuntry

[martabas51000]

what brush do you use?

[darkdeity200]

Wow, Ignorance at its finest!

You realize that it is just as difficult if not to an extent harder on a digital device? Simple because your transitioning from a plan where you can see your surface underneath your brush or pencil, and on a tablet you cannot.

The only thing a tablet honestly provides is the tools to create such a piece. Chalk, charcoal, pencils, paint and canvas are all HELLA EXPENSIVE A tablet is a onetime buy that way we can produce everything digitaly without having to pay alot

[Zhokul]

@darkdeity200 Although I appreciate what you're saying, you're not talking from anywhere with much experience. The truth is, digital has become industry standard in a whole range of jobs like concept and illustration. The fundamental/initial designs are often done in pencil, but it varies from artist to artist, but when it becomes to producing the final concepts/finished product, artists are usually expected to use digital means due to a huge increase in efficiency (in quality per time spent) ;)

[ironpirites]

@darkdeity200 I don't agree with this. What the artist in the video did was to move from an outline to a grisaille like underdrawing/painting to a very refined finished painting that looks oil painted but with the fine gradations of color of water painted images. Any painter who could produce an oil portrait with the finely and delicately blended colors we see here would be world famous. This is "old master" quality work done by a "very good" artist using digital media. No time to say more : )

[gr8fuldaniel]

Your title is misleading... you dont really show "How to..."

Very nice work though

[mfjeff]

after you lay down the bold colors how do you blend them to make it look smooth??

[YrUlUKkiNAtM34]

try using soft brush for hard surfaces then at the ends of them use a airbrush set to opacity->pen pressure and shapes dynamics on , that way it will give you smooth brush strokes. hope that helped.......

[TorchicLCM]

Amazing art, cool vid. But hard to learn anything when the things like your change of brushes are made in less than a second, literally :/

[woopw00p]

you are an idiot hahahaha

[TorchicLCM]

aww someone with no self esteem *pats your head* there there

[woopw00p]

haha i didnt mean to post it to about this vid i meant to write it on someones comment who was amazed how they could change brushes in under a second and stuff so hush up

[Gioooo04]

How do you make it look so pencil like?

what brush did you use? hardness...opacity...

please tell moi :D

[Admeralsarms]

you facken master! I would love to paint like you T-T

[mirub13]

I just bought a wacom, I'm gonna aspire to be as good as you. That looks amazing. I cannot believe you did all of that in 6 minutes.

[Parz1fal]

You are ridiculous. A painting like that takes hours to finish.

[mirub13]

I was joking, come on, how do you not know i was joking, obviously it was not done in 6 minutes

[pixelperu]

@mirub13

OK, ok... I just read you was joking...

so just a joker uh??

[pixelperu]

@mirub13

How can you think he made it in 6 minutes?

can't U see the fast speed of the camera? otherwise will not be possible to can show the entire show in you tube.

[guitarfromparis]

amazing.bravo!

[jlorka]

Thanks!

[Beomene]

I feel that I learned a lot about the importance of the skins folds. The lines of the throat adds enormous life to her. Very rewarding to watch. //Charlotte

[jlorka]

Thanks Charlotte.

Greetings.

[stevebalilla]

Caspita! Bravo! Saludos dall'italia amigo!

[AnnaInsanityVideo]

how long did it take you to do this O.O?

it's amazing!

[wacomace]

I think that you know how much I hate you

...

[tjombom]

It can't be:-)

So much realism can hurt.

How long did it take to get this nice picture done?

[ctsittin]

great work

[jlorka]

Thanks!

Gracias.

[allcoolnamestaken]

You already have the eye and the hand of a master and nobody can take those from you. No artistic vision can be brought to life without skill and technique. And that's what made them masters. Perhaps nobody would have heard of Bouguereau if he lacked the academic skills to bring his vision to life on canvas.

[allcoolnamestaken]

jlorka, your technique is stunning! Great skin colour, great realism, great depth. I've been watching your clips and I think you are reaching for the classic masters in your craft. Such skills are rare these days.

[jlorka]

Muchas gracias por amabilidad. Tambien es difícil recibir comentarios que valoren este tipo de producciones como obras. Espero estar algún día a la altura de los grandes maestros.

Un cordial saludo.

+/-

Thank you very much for kindness. It is also difficult to obtain feedback to assess this type of production works. I hope someday to be the height of the great masters.

Regards.

[standingman]

excellent use of color

[jlorka]

Thanks.

[kokiberto]

que excelente trabajo, impresionante reproduccion de el buen william jajaja es toda otra experiencia ver algo asi es lo k los artistas hasta hace un tiempo no compartian, el proceso de realizacion, yo actualmente soy un estudiante de arte en texas y queria preguntar que tipo de entrenamiento siguio o recomienda usted...de verdad quede muy entusiasmado despues de ver esto :)

[jlorka]

He tenido una formación Académica Clásica durante muchos años. Esto es solo un medio que como tu dices permite que la obra esté presente también es su proceso de desarrollo.

Por este medio no puedo extenderme pero en mi canal tiene un Enlace a Speed Painting y un correo de referencia al cual comunicarte.

Saludos y muchas gracias por tu comentario.

[lalegranegra]

Mi más absoluta y sincera enhorabuena por todos y cada uno de tus trabajos. Son todos espectaculares. Y muchas gracias por compartir el proceso de elaboración.

No puedo resistir consultarte dos dudas ¿qué modelo de Wacom utilizas? y ¿qué tiempo sueles tardar en cada uno de estos retratos?

Contestes o no, reitero mi profunda admiración por tu trabajo. Chapeau!!!

[jlorka]

Cómo no voy a contestar tan bonito comentario! Gracias por apreciar esta obra. Fueron muchas horas, no lo recuerdo bien pero tal vez más de veinte. Y con mucho placer de aprender de este magnífico Artista.

Gracias nuevamente.

Edgardo.

[mauibummer]

Wow, that's great.  Beautiful work.

[jlorka]

Thanks!!!

Greetings.

[rajjollyraj]

Very nice work, I have never seen such a detailed work on wacom.

[jlorka]

Thanks!

[mijo5572]

WOW so much life great job! I am a freelance portrait artist, and I usually only work with charcoal not paint. Would paint in photoshop be an easier transition since I already have knowledge using photoshop to paint textures and inking and color cartoon characters? Any advice would be great thank you so much, and once again superb piece fun to watch!

[jlorka]

Disculpa la traducción:

Excuse the translation:

Coloring Animations are different method used.

A good start is to use a wacom tablet and a lot of practice ... training.

Thank you for your comment.

Greetings.

Para colorear animaciones se utilizan metodos distintos.

Un buen comienzo es el uso de una wacom y mucha práctica... entrenamiento.

Gracias por tu comentario.

Saludos.

[mijo5572]

yes I use a tablet, is there any chance that you can give a tutorial it would really help! I know your busy but this would really help us artists out there very much. Not so much learning the interface but maybe the technique you use with brushes, opacity, perhaps what ispires you most! By the way muchas gracia para tu responsa, "si lo escribio correcto" yo se hablar un poco pero es deficil para escribirlo. Uses Mac o PC

[jlorka]

Espero sea de utilidad.

Disculpa la traducción.

+/-

Using PC. In my channel you have two tutorials on the use and configuration of brushes.

They are in Spanish but can be interpreted visually.

They see it as using a variation of flow, opacity ... shape.

Hope will be useful.

Excuse the translation.

Greetings.

[hannahmontanabananza]

thank you this will be helpful to many of us that cannont even do this 0.o...

[Maxstube]

Absolutely stunning! Never have I seen such an organic looking portrait made with photoshop.

My hats off to you friend

[jlorka]

Thanks, your comment is very generous.

Greetings.

[nojiko88]

*aplauds*

[jlorka]

Thanks.

[rochelimit55555]

what kind of brush do you use?

[jlorka]

Uso un solo pincel con diferentes configuraciones. Salvo para algunas texturas especiales como la piel.

+/-

Using a conventional brush with different settings.Except for skin textures (peel).

[rochelimit55555]

Ah very clear, thanks!

[eiryn24]

oh my....

u're such a great artist!! very talented!

[luke1pl]

This is soo nice xD 5/5

How long you painting with photoshop and how you became soo good? You must practice a lot.

[jlorka]

This is my profession.

Thanks

[PinkNinja337]

how long does it take you to make one of these?

[jlorka]

15/20 hs ..+/-.

Thanks.

[PinkNinja337]

wow

[PinkNinja337]

this is absolutely beautiful.

[jlorka]

Thanks.

[Jeicof527]

uuuuyyyyyy me estoy volviendo loco con tus videos, que perfección y que destreza.... definitivamente felicitaciones....

una pregunta: Para hacer algo así, cuanto tiempo demoras? y es con el mouse??, porque definitivamente está genial y anima a cualquiera... espero me respondas....

Salu2 desde Colombia!!

[jlorka]

Siempre que puedo respondo no hay problemas. Dejé algunos trabajos hechos con el Mouse (está en la información del video) Éste precisamente no y la mayoría de los que ves se hicieron con una Tableta Wacom.

Cada video dura muchas horas. Este en particular creo que fueron más de veinte.

Gracias por tu comentario.

Acá no me puedo extender mucho, en el canal tienes un correo de referencia.

Saludos.

[Se444en]

NICE! What's your original language?

[jlorka]

I speak Spanish and basic English.

Thanks.

[mnilandcom]

very nice painting, working digitally like this is also very good practice for working in more traditional mediums.

[jlorka]

It excuses my translation:

The procedure is essentially identical to the traditional painting.

Thank you.

[zaipai]

Your the man.. The last two videos you posted are awesome. I had to watch them in HD I don't normally do that but because it slows my machine so much and causes the sound to be bad but it was all worth it!

Thanks again for sharing!

[jlorka]

Thank you.

Greeting.

[q6y]

Yes, finally something who doesn't paint that stupid fantasy stuff that we see so often (yawns). Well done, really nice work on the skin.

[jlorka]

Thank you very much.

Greeting

Sorry for the translation:

If I used Photoshop CS3 and a single brush with a conventional Wacom digitiser tablet.

Thank you
