How to draw a manga-style, Christmas-theme illustration in Corel Painter

[IvenPadilla]

Excuse me, What kind of tablet do you use? Do you use one? :o I'd really like to know, I wanna paint like you :o

[Wolfswind003]

How can I delete the lightning? I looked it up already, but I don't unterstand where the box is :/

[KawaiiMangaArtist]

Tools he/she used:

Basic round(coloring)

Blender (coloring)

2B Pencil("inking')

[bigbentree]

@KawaiiMangaArtist Exactly. Thank you!

[jusjerry4]

@bigbentree Do you mind if I ask the settings of the custom blender that you used called *blender* pls

[MrLundify]

@bigbentree i really like this illustration :) i recently bought myself a tablet so i can begin to draw too. The refining of the lines, did you really only do it by hand? :O I know photoshop got these fancy tricks to make straight lines by holding shift.

[jusjerry4]

Nice painting can i ask what tool you use for blending and which brush you use for blocking in the colours

[TheMimimanga]

I'm french to XDD awesome drawing !!!

[The3dmaster11]

all anime is is cartoon porn

[IvenPadilla]

@The3dmaster11 Not at all :D, Anime is pretty much like animated soap- operas, it has an on-going storyline.

[frizider2]

Do you now use Corel Painter 12 or is X better?

[MrHiragasaito]

@frizider2 corel painter it's the best =//3

[SrtaJoonaz]

Oh.. shit.

[pssgotcha]

wow thats so cool

[LenCastagnier]

how can u color all those under one layer? and not ruining any of the colors? is this a feature available in only Corel Painter? I've always had the installation CD came when i bought my tablet. but i never really learnt how to use it to it's full potential.. I'm just used to Photoshop.. Any tips for a beginner?

[bigbentree]

@LenCastagnier In digital drawing, is easy to paint color in 100% opacity, which fully covers any color on the current layer. So it will be fine to use a hi opacity brush to draw the edges between different colors on a single layer.

But... No I don't draw everything in one layer... most of the time...

[LenCastagnier]

Did you time the music or something? it started just after i finished reading the description

[creativepeasant]

this is really amazing, XD really inspired now X)

subscribe!

[cowboxe]

I can never get my lines to come out that clean in the final line art. I'm getting better, but there's always an issue of wavy-ness.

[miyuku258]

I'm amazed by your work. I noticed that you colored almost everything on a single layer. That must be so hard! How do you keep from messing up so much? I should probably try practicing to color on a single layer as well. :)

[MsDragontooth]

The girl is Miku and the boy is KAITO ^^ Amazing drawing!

[mmonster003]

do you have a Deviantart account???

[koreta100]

Which brush can blend the colors?

[Bauschiiful]

WOW! What version is that from Corel Painter?

[MsCasket13]

IM SPEACHLESS!!.

[HollyJade95]

wow this is so amazing :P

[InuKakasha234]

this should be a speedpaint....cuzz i mean it is going soo fast XD, and how to's are usually slow, BUT I LUV THIS, I am jealous XD cuzz I can never make that good of a background, i always struggle with that :/

[magikathy2]

Amazing! <3

[nietjepetietje]

I always design my own christmas cards... since i was little ^^ but now i'm drawing them on the computer and most people didn't figure out i made them....shows how much i improved, although it is kinda saddening too

[elsalbaje3051000]

hey could u paint me like a manga plzzz men is a gist for my gf 5 year aniversary and she loves mangas

[Siraarongirl2]

I'm trying to do my own version but it is hard to emulate. The last part with the CG was done with the oils, right?

[Siraarongirl2]

STOP GOING SO FAST! IM TRYING TO FOLLOW!

Lol, beautiful and great video. I may give up MyPaint for Painter.

[wish264]

how long did it take you to make this??

[shijie99999]

My christmas Spirits is Back thumbs up if yours also Do :)

[stoneclaw111]

I wish I knew how to color like you. I don't know how to do stuff like lighting and coloring yet....

[skypainter13]

i think this is one of the most amazing paint things i've ever seen. it so cool, and so pretty! i just wish i could do something like that! :)

[zaproid]

I know I'm gonna get alot dislikes at this comment :p:D, but it says "How to...", yea nobody likes a smartass, and I even ddn't have that aim-just wanted to see a quality drawing, well done.

[Nyamahoe]

[chaoticcolors]

[Djbreakrasec]

Great, you are a master of anime ...;)

[megacallex5]

[sweetStrawberryheart]

[MrTWillyBOY]

[MinamiDimsum]

OH wow! This is absolutely amazing!!!! *_* The poses, the background, the colours... *stares in awe

May I ask you what programs you use to record this video and which program you used to speed up/edit the video??

[MyGetsugatensho]

Thats awsome!!!....

[nonnikonian]

LOVE IT!!! very cute girl.

I wish I could be as good as you.

[WooisLegit]

amazing *_* great job

[PS3UP]

i think is funny HOW TO DRAW but no tutorial here

[Music2miEars1]

すごいですね！！



[SimlishSammy]

I was wondering what brushes you use...

[n00bszpro]

can you teach me how to use this program please

[NGUYENDUSTIN00]

This is Cash Money. U have your bushes uploaded somewhere for download?. I'd like to test out ur custom palette even if they are default brushes.

[reinakishimoto]

Wow, the sky, the snow, the stars and the whole lighting! It's so good! When you focused on the sky and made it full screen I really thought I was being sucked into it! O_O and I really love the roof covered with snow xD

[Sinacious]

really nice video! a few questions: what settings are you using for your "working brush" basic round and blender? And how to you even get that palette to pop up? I've never been able to figure how to pick out just the brushes I use most. Also, the few times I see everything collapsed into one "canvas" layer...what to you accomplish when you do that? Thanks! This was really informative to watch.

[jesman1985]

you draw with such ease.. what tablet are you using? also do you have your tablet portions at full screen full tablet.. or only a portion?

[luveymiyavi69]

wow! you're really good! I loved the christmas theme to, really cute

[eelsevilla]

great work

[sarigenaku26]

This is really great. Thanks. I had a question. I notice many artists are using Corel Painter instead of Photoshop. Have you tried Photoshop as well for painting? Does Corel have better control for drawing lines? I notice your lines were drawn very smoothly.

[RAEinRakuen]

I was at that point where I wanted to give up on CP-X, but after watching this, I have a new found desire to finally master layers!

[julianamun]

whats brushes did u use?

for the line art

[monosito59]

awesssooommmeeeee!! hey wats the song at around 4:40? i wanna find the guitar chords for that :P

[TheSecondSmartOne]

Noice artwork there mate, wish i could paint like that! By the way what are the names of those two songs you played in the vid?

[Riku7070]

how do you have such clean line art? i use a tablet but my hand is not very steady so it comes out bad. is there a correction option in painter?

[coolmanrocket66]

Did you ever take a art class and how long did it take you to make that? =D

[bigbentree]

I taught myself illustrating, beginning with my childhood passion for Gundam animations. Whenever I saw great manga and anime illustrations, I tried to figure out how they are made. I've been doing this since primary school :-D

Some would say this is the "hard" way of learning illustrating, but I think it is a solid approach. No tutorials or courses can subtitute your own observation and practice.

That being said, I was also given art courses in university. They helped a lot too!

[pasna45]

@bigbentree wow thats exactly how i learnt to draw, i mean im good, but im shit at computers, so i paint.

[TheMillecrepe]

@bigbentree I'm a complete beginner to digital art...Im more of a classical hands on artist but I was wondering how you did this....? I dont understand the whole layer thing or ....I'm lost and I desperately need your help!!!

[Quatum0fSolace]

how do you trace

I don't know much about the tools of coral painter

[sneeker95]

[bigbentree]

@sneeker95 Love French music. Cheers mate!

[AhotGirl9222]

your AMAZING ^__^

[yoppoplop]

You use camstudio? 'cause your quality is good!

[Drolkin]

You are a true genius. XD

[422537jb]

that was very nice, 5/5. for your next video, could you use photoshop please? i just want to see the outcomes of both software

[TrulyBonkerrs]

This would never be as good as this with photoshop.. it's a crap colouring program tbh.. overated :/

[driequz]

i agree that y sai and corel painter own

[422537jb]

@TrulyBonkerrs i guessed that but i want to see the difference for my self and see just how much of a difference there is

[Pasukaru]

@TrulyBonkerrs Agreed. PHOTOshop is primarily made for PHOTO manipulation, while Corel PAINTer is made for digital painting. There are of course a lot of suitable brushes available for download for Photoshop to make it more suitable for this kind of work, but I also prefer Sai and Corel myself.

[bigbentree]

Hey there. Sorry for replying late. Sometimes it's just too difficult to get on YouTube from China. You know what I mean...

Since you asked, I will use Photoshop in my next video. Personally, I think Photoshop is designed more for high efficiency while Painter is made more for artistic elaboration. However, they can achieve similar results as long as you have solid illustrating fundamental skills.

At the end, it's the artist who creates great artworks, not the tools. Agree?

[422537jb]

@bigbentree agreed and if its not too much trouble, besides life/figure drawing practice and basic software skills, what other fundamental skills are there? if any

[422537jb]

@bigbentree and thanks for the reply

[itchycitizen]

that was good !
