Sketching digitally... Practice.

[TechnicolorVille]

@cyrielkiller69100

Have you read Star Wars: Blood Ties, it's an amazing Star Wars comic. It's still one of my favorites from any Star Wars comic I ever read. Also Star Wars - Purge - The Hidden Blade is amazing, too bad it's a one shot, I wanted to read more.

[Joburgbass]

Did you work from a photograph, what size was it?

I'm very impressed, very good in my book.

[cellyboy3000]

i can draw preaty good with a pencel, and a bal point pen. but drawing on the computer is like te fu for me, so you gut my like

[vladisk]

Keep posting! You are a great artist!

[paulspears31]

How are you recording your drawing? Are you using a program to make your videos? Nice work btw.

[nzgromit]

Chris you are the man. Your precision is awesome! :D I wish that someday I to could create art like yours!

[madmomentsgo]

very nice for practice.

[sksushi3]

for us ameteurs, it's hard to understand how this is practice.... it's even harder to understand how this only took you like 20 minutes....

[drumm3rh0l1c]

Pretty amazing, really inspiring, makes me want to draw ^.^

[kekoandujar]

Fascinante

[lIIustration]

Your drawing speed is insane.

[alphaxg1]

Are you kidding me? This is awesome! I wish I had this kind of talent.

[nicotheme]

[flerfymcflerf098]

0 dislikes!!!! yay! now. lets keep it that way :)

[maxflan]

cool

[laptop29]

Thanks a lot for your vidéo !!! Its helps me in my learning

[Ponyloveer]

It'd be awesome to see more of this kind of stuff :) It's really educational for aspiring artists

[NewRecruitInNatsArmy]

If we could only harness all the expertise that is offered in the comments section and put it use solving real problems, how awesome would that be? Keep up the good work.

[WolfLinkZant]

The nose is tilted to the right when it shouldnt be

[cgsbgs]

@WolfLinkZant Yes. You're right. And the left nostril is up a little higher. The mouth is crooked the eyes are unfinished... There should be more shading on the bottom of the right nostril.The fingers are completely undeveloped. Hand might be the wrong size. Eyebrows uneven. It's a rough sketch- A "study". It's definitely not perfect. But I have been so absent from this channel, I thought I'd kill 2 birds with one stone and record a step of my everyday work. Even if it is just sketching.

[iwolfman37]

@cgsbgs You should do that more often :)

[dodocrest]

@WolfLinkZant Owned.

[WolfLinkZant]

@dodocrest Lolwut. I wasn't trying to insult him

[GamersaurusPwn]

Great job as always

[AlmasyAlliances]

Your talent and skill makes me sick to my stomach.

That said, have your thumbs up.

[AlientKnight]

Is it me or is the girl's nose appear a little off? It somehow looks a little off the center

[7466309change]

you,re so good.

[PowerExcelsior2]

perfect as always =)

[ScarlingRagdoll]

Your flippin amazing. Nuff said.

I don't know if you know about this shortcut but in Photoshop when you want to change the brush size (without having to go to the menu) you simply use [ for smaller and ] for larger.

Just thought I mention that since I found out about it and it makes this easier and faster heh

Still bloody awesome work!

[xPershionx]

What tool do you use for that kind of shading? The burn tool?

[pyeclam]

Have you considered getting a Cintiq?

[killerhobo97]

Hehe, i cant even draw stickmen x)

[FearMyToes]

You're so talented! I wish that one day I can be as good as you.

[KillaTequilla83]

reminds me of my niece :)

[PuppyZwolle]

Watching this puts me in a complete Zen state:

I'm in awe at your skills.

I envy your eye.

I love your work.

Somehow it all balances out and makes my mind still.

[tsitra360]

Thanks for the real time footage into some of your sketching process.

[HakuZabuzaFan]

Aww, she's so cute! :3

[gerryskate357]

Is it very hard to draw with that tablet? and is it worth?

greetings from germany!

btw. that´s awesome!

[KrIIklaNe]

@gerryskate357 Tablet is actually a lot easier. Though it depends on your drawing skills. If u can draw on paper, then u can draw with tablet. if you like doing art then its a must have.

[MinyaChan627]

@gerryskate357 Ich zeichne mit Tablet und es macht auf jeden Fall ne Menge Spaß. Hast du denn schon Erfahrung mit digitalem Zeichnen? Ich hab angefangen mit einer Maus am PC zu zeichnen, bevor ich mir ein Tablet geholt habe.

[maqhem]

I'd say that could very well be a 5 year old girl. Well done - again.

[CalebThatcher]

Hey Chris I think you should do more of these videos. I think it can help out more people with painting.

[1825sunshine]

hi, i just recieved a graphics tablet for my 16th birthday. Im just wondering were would be a good place to start in photoshop. I've drawn some things but i cant find the right brushes etc, any advice on getting started with digital art?

[Valeof46racing]

nice :)

[ThingsAtPlaces]

Reminds me of a girl I know.

[TheNikoslaw]

excellent

[ExtremeNeoclassical]

Yes! He is back! And amazing as usual!

[WhiteBraveDragon]

Awesome! :D coowl to see you again in action! :D

[atndybeach]

Making my jaw drop like always

[AsbjoernDJ]

Great to see a new video from you again, been missing my regular inspiration. :D

[lila1932]

forgot to ask where to get the brushes you used? thanks, lila

[reberestevao]

big talent, i appreciate your work

what amount of brush used?

[lila1932]

your work shows pure talent in using the pen, and brushes ability to use these with such ease, perfection.....thanks for sharing.

I recently bought a larger tablet and trying to find a program that works well with the pen is difficult with my set-up,. mypaint is the only one. I had corel but it stoipped working so it was ininstalled accidently. .

[musicLOVE4ever1]

0 dislikes eh? KEEP IT DAT WAY PPL!!! o and awesome as usuall

[KirbyOnCronic]

she looks alot older than 5 :/

[Amaresku]

with our without reference? either way, it's really good!

[mcclurify]

what brushes do you use and their settings for the sketching part



[so2fast4u2]

@fighterforger lol he is not using the mouse, he robably uses a presure tablet thing.

[Dasmaster1]

Did god by any chance hire you as the artist when he created the world? Just asking.

[Clymaxx]

I must say your ability to start from one detail and then work around is amazing. And yet, you get the proportions pretty correct. I definitely took note of your opacity sequencing, it's something I'm working on.

[StarCassiah]

Do you use any references for these types of drawings like photos?

[MisterrIdontCare]

@StarCassiah read the description ;)

[Sanyeliz]

hey, i told u that u were going to get better! :D missed u!

[fighterforger]

thats really good. i have a hard time controlling the mouse when i try to draw using my computer

[ScouseSpartan]

Do you have any experience with the Wacom Bamboo Fun Pen & Touch tablet? I'm looking to get my first tablet and don't want to spend a huge amount on something that I have no experience using. Just curious if it's a decent starter tablet.

[iamtherealzim]

can you do a quick video of your photoshop settings for the wacom please? I'm still learning how to set it up and any advice would be great!

Thanks

[ethanashton]

@iamtherealzim I am betting that they are pretty standard besides maybe a personal prefference on the pen pressure or something. I have the Cintiq 21ux and I change a couple of the hotkeys for it but other than that I like the default setup. I am no Chris Scalf but I can draw fairly decent if you want to check it out!

[zoidbetag]

long time no uploads :)

[cgsbgs]

@zoidbetag Yeah... I need to cut that out. Doing a lot of comics (Star Wars for Dark Horse, and other unnamed projects) has really cut my time down.

[mofongo317]

@cgsbgs you had me at star wars :D

[xixJackxix]

@cgsbgs How long have you been with dark horse? I picked up a KotoR comic recently that felt... Familiar.

[cgsbgs]

@xixJackxix I haven't worked on that series. But I would like to mention that io9 has a new speed painting video I just did of Darth Vader for a recent cover. Google io9 and check it out. I am waiting for permission to post the vid on this channel as well. (There's also a link to it on my Deviantart... user name chrisscalf.)

[CallmePAENDA]

@cgsbgs why don't you just record when you do the comics ? :D i sure wouldn't mind watching you draw star wars related stuff :)

[Fallst4d]

@cgsbgs Hey, I tried looking for some of your works at Dark Horse, but couldn't find any.

[Fallst4d]

@cgsbgs Oh wait, found them.

[ethanashton]

@cgsbgs I wish I had that problem!

[zoidbetag]

@cgsbgs Well, rarity is a measure of value. I for one am very happy to see a video form you in my sub upload section :)

Take your time, best of wishes and...Merry late Christmas

[sgtlegendkiller]

JONJON!!!!

[Kaffei4Lunch]

Yay! Thank you for uploading =D

[robotcow28]

it took you forevaz to put up another video... i thought you died :(

[yos2481]

What brushes did you use? and opacity settings?

[1997yy]

so pretty!!!
