JE-SUS CHRIST!!! THATS ALL I HAVE 2 SAY. I WANTED TO READ ALL THE COMMENTS BUT THEN I DIDN'T WANNA MISS THE CLIP. THE ONLY OTHER THING I HAVE 2 SAY IS WELL DONE! KEEP GOING AT IT PLEASE!!!!!
Epic. I have so many ideas in my head, visions of architecture i want to manifest like this. But i can only do it on paper slowly.. Or extrememly slowly on photoshop before giving up. I have to learn how to paint so surefooted and instantly. The shading and lighting comes to me but i just can't transcribe it. How do you even start. I have adobe photoshop elements 7.
@duploman1000 i think a good help is to try and play around with brushes. i did that. just let some weird or funny brushes create interesting shapes. try and be instant as u say, and don't care too much about detail at first and see how some brushes almost pick the subject for u....just to get a feel of what brushes can do for u.
play with transparency, background overlay and fun stuff like that, and don't commit yourself to a finished product at first.
@duploman1000 (cont) and some brushes have textures that are good for rocks. go with that and u may find yourself making the inside walls of a cave, or a waterfall. some brushes are good for vegetation, go with that and maybe u find u are making the outline of a forest. don't think too much about it.
but the brushes are a big part of photoshop. get to know them and they will help u tremendously.
i can recommend David Levy and his video: "from speedpainting to concept art"
@duploman1000 u are welcome. and as soon as u get some feel for a couple of good brushes that u like working with, get into layers. start with just 2-3 layers at first. u dont need more in the beginning. just to get a feel for the dynamics of painting in layers. later, layers will become natural and fast.
check out some utube tuts on how to paint with layers.
a true artist learns from copying and further trancends by using his imagination, this is a true example of a professional artist, nico de mattia needs to make original ones, i know i do
You have a great talent and you're very good at perspective and coloring. I saw you had quite alot reference pics on your computer. I was wondering how long you have been speedpainting and when you started making art, did you copy from reference pics or create your own? Also, I'd like to hear some tips about a tablet for example. I own an aiptek a4 tablet and i find it a little too big. Would be appreciated if you could help me out here :P. PM me if you can. Great work
yes but Nico di Mattia usually copies from a source, this piece was from imagination, a true skill beyond skills, this piece is a fine example for artists.
you'll be a surprise? I feel sorry for you frank, you will never see Nico draw any thing that doesn't exist, he's good at copying a picture, but he cant draw from the imagination like Mathias. that's true skill.
great work I loved to watch this... much better than all the other shit on youtube. I agree with the others you should have put up the final at the end.
omg, you are incredible!! Im training to do this kind of art. could you or someone please send me a message here at YouTube or add me on msn Timmon_91 at
hotmail dot com and talk to me and train and give me some nice brushes and tutor me ;) Thanks!
the man at work! Damn you're only 24...i got only 4 more years to catch you, thanks for the time you wasted putting up this video for us, impressive speedpaint as always
Were you already this good at environment painting and such when you decided you wanted to be a concept artist? Or did you consciously set out to train in being one?
This is the best video....EVER! How are you so badass? Some artists sometimes do some badass stuff..but you ALWAYS do badass stuff. It all oozes badass. Thanks for the video. You rock :D
Right when you added that orange color... awesome.
