Photoshop CS3 Drawing - Beautiful Day

[Emiliabugy]

So Cute!!!! I need to get photoshop it looks a lot easier than sumopaint and autodesk...

[XxLittleMoonx]

Your art is so inspiring. You have always been one of my idols, and have made me push myself to inprove my work. Thank you for that!

[ZestyandAngel]

I don't see why people would think either of the canines were wolves. The coyote is obviously a coyote and the dog is obviously a dog. The dog,you can tell by the ears and the coyote by the muzzle.

Then,the bobcat is also obviously a bobcat.

[iDontNeedaUsernam]

thank you for using the U2 version of this song. ♥ ♥ ♥ Beautiful artwork, you are very talented!

[AlexaRaynan]

I may have already asked, I'm not sure, sorry if I did.. But what program do you use to record?

[Kaytarawolf0]

@AlexaRaynan I dont know what program she uses but if your a mac user you can use the program quicktime to record. There are tons of other recording programs out there, you just have to look.

[ShadowDweller21]

this is a masterpiece...teach me o wise one... :3

[drawingwolf2013]

I'm surprised at people thinking that is a wolf. Coyotes have big and pointy ears while wolves have smaller rounder ears. Amazing, people love the animal, yet they don't know the difference between a wolf and a coyote. By the way, nice work here, Kay, I like how you changed it up with adding different animals, instead of like four wolves. It's not very common it's more of a wolf here and a wolf there~ . Me gusta this~

[kibaepisodes]

@drawingwolf2013 Exactly! I don't get it either :/

[WildHeart677]

I love this, you can tell, or at least i can tell, that they are a dog, coyote and bob cat, and i love the expressions and background. I can can tell you worked really hard on this!!

[EmeraldthePug]

how do you get your tool to look like that?? (the pen in the beginning)

[tamuxriki]

were did you by the tablet?

[wingedwolves99]

Everyone really loves your art, I dont think you should get so mad when people call your canines a wolf. Maybe when its listed right there in the description and people are lazy butts and dont look, but other wise if you dont already, just list it in the beginning so you wont freak when people call your dogs a wolf

[RueTheMutt]

@wingedwolves99 well, it is kind of annoying when people immediately assume that it's a wolf, so it does get irritating eventually, especially if you're striving for something way different than a wolf.

not saying this to sound snobby, but if you hade this happen to you, you would understand lol.

[thegiverofbreath]

What is that dotty thing you did when you added that 'sun ray' effect? I've never seen anyone do that and I'd like to know how :o

[ChuzoProductions]

I love you

[KCPixie08]

3:11 ooh nice sky, only thing i am good at is eyes xD i'm working on background (the ground and the sky, such and such... etc.) and the coloring, shading, etc. that stuff =3 this is really good btw

[Valorei]

Seeing artwork like this makes my heart happy <3

[Punkt00TV]

Well actually i must thank you that i could watch this, cause this is so inspring (:

Me got to train a lot more to get on your level.

How long do you paint now already? I guess pretty 3 years.

[Kaytothelink]

@Punkt00TV I have been drawing ever since I was a child, and I am 20 now :p

[MsDarkside55]

your character is cute!!!

[Skelulu]

are you on deviantart ???

[rainstarwarriorcats]

How do you do that smudgy looking thing without using the smudge tool?

Like, when you did the clouds, it was solid, then you did something to blend and smudge in with each other.

O.o

[ChuzoProductions]

@rainstarwarriorcats She is using blur

[blackwidowqueen123]

love it it is so cute

[ImTheTerrible1]

I LUV THE WOLF nah just kidding, this is personaly my favourite drawing you've made so far, I love how you do your shadows and highlights, everytime I watch your videos I think to myself "wtf how does she do that gawd!" XD hah, anyways, great job and keep drawing more awesome pics :D

[Pinetail536]

I lovee this songg ndd your workk ! <3 Keep drawingg !

[ThaoPhu999]

Just wondering...what color did you use to shade? XD I know...crazy question...

[Meggie5610]

I noticed that looking at the courser, mouse thingy whatever, it says "left". does that mean your drawing with your left?

[Kaytothelink]

@Meggie5610 No, it records that I'm clicking with the left mouse button (or the equivalent on my tablet). Every time it says left it just means that my tablet's receiving pressure.

[Meggie5610]

@Kaytothelink Ah okay, thanks~

[Voodoofox3]

@Kaytothelink hey i dont mean to seem like im a idiot, but ive NEVER heard of using a 'tablet' or even this software... im only using elements 9

so wat is a tablet????

[XxDragonGurlxX]

@Voodoofox3 It is a device that allows you to draw on a computer like a pencil on paper.

Google it. It's not rocket science.

[Ozgirl2307]

Wow, that is.. fantastic. I love the effects.

The characters fit really well with the drawing and the contrast it. Just wow. XD

[sabrina13ization]

AWESOME :D :D

[TheFieryKnight79]

I undertstand if you don't reply to this, but. . . at 0:29 was that an airbrush you were using for the darker sketch lines?

[Kaytothelink]

@TheFieryKnight79 No, just a normal brush with lowered opacity.

[Joltstorm684]

I love your art!

I just wan't to ask, because i've got a Mac too, do you record with Quick Time Player? If so, is there some special setting you have to do to post it on Youtube? Because I have some Speed paints but for some reason it won't let me upload them. Please reply! ^.^

[Kaytothelink]

@Joltstorm684 Thank you; I record using a program called Screenium which is $20 but has worked faithfully for me for well over a year now. I've never tried using Quick Time Player to record, so I'm not much help, sorry.

[Joltstorm684]

@Kaytothelink That's OK, thanks! ( 3

[Cloudtailed]

You have a beautiful drawing style! I wish my art was this amazing.. -subscribed-

[nettiPiski]

SKU <3<3<3<3<3<3<33<3<3

[Hotwolv14]

What did you use to record this with????

[FireWaveEMS]

Did you follow a tutorial or something before you could draw so good? :o If so, could you share? ;p

[Kaytothelink]

@FireWaveEMS No, just self-teaching and art college.

[dragonspots]

This is brilliant! I really, really love it! 

[mjbdisaster]

is that selection and gradient pretty crafty then g-blur

[YoungPrinceofMacadon]

OMG I.. i.. i I dont have a word to say! I wish you can make me one for by Birth day I have paint shop but im just to young to know how to do something like this

[Shadowlandbluemoon]

Do you have a DA? Because this is amazing and I'd love to watch you.

[starrface77]

@Shadowlandbluemoon 

[Bandaint]

May I say, that this is an amazing piece. The characters take equal attention as the background, which is an absolute breathe taking scene.

[JustinDejong]

What brush/tool are you using for the "inking" of lines?

Also what is your setup to get that blue shading filter to pull alphas from?

[EmelieAlvin]

thats really beutiful!

[IrritableGiraffe]

On top of the dog, that's a feline isn't it? it's so cutee <33

[satuxd]

How old are you, because you draw amazing!

[Kaytothelink]

@satuxd Thank you :) I am 19

[Avyris]

@Kaytothelink

ur such a widdle babby x3

I REMEMBER WHEN I WAS A TEENAGER 8(

[SketchRide]

Why is Zoe always so cute? X3

[RoxAnimationz]

wonderful shading :D

[dustyarabian]

Awww, now thats cute! X3

[AkishaTheFox]

Is that a Lynx on top of that wolf/dog?

[Darkajj]

Fantastic art! And I saw you using the rule of thirds :'D that's like, the only composition "rule" I know of so I'm proud to have spotted it. Oh my I'm pathetic xDD but this is really beautiful, you're skillful enough to draw the characters and the backgrounds wonderfully! It gives your art so much life :)

[SenseiOfPower]

The background is so simple yet so beautiful <3

[snowhusky005]

Wonderful...

[StoneWarrior101]

omg omg omg!!! asw... awsome... i think i gonna... faint... *booof!* lands on floor K.O.!

[Cannon361]

Thats what I call SKILL ;D

[piciorultoxic]

this is awesome !!

[RoadsideRomeo5]

mm I love the song you used with this, U2 is one of my favorites. The cat is especially admirable.

[deadithink]

@RoadsideRomeo5

"cat"

Good eyes Romeo.

[RacheAvenger07]

Were you using a reference picture for the background?

[Kaytothelink]

@RacheAvenger07 Yep

[MetallicalBaka]

so happy i clicked on this video, or i wouldnt have remembered my memories with this song back at elementry like 3-4 yrs ago and i wouldnt have seen this beautiful picture.

[RandomDoomKitty333]

HOW DO YOU DO THAT????

[NixtyD]

May i ask, How on earth do you get the lines smooth and not so ,like , fuzzy?

[Chibipad]

@NixtyD have to have a tablet

[kant442]

what did you do from 2:52 to 2:54? o,o really worked, btw great job

[NixtyD]

May i Ask, Where do you get the grass brushes? I need some for PSE.

[Kaytothelink]

@NixtyD It's a default photoshop brush called fuzzball.

[NixtyD]

@Kaytothelink Crap, I dont have one. Thanks for the help anyways.

[OneTrueCanine]

@Kaytothelink

teehee

fuzzball

[99LinkinPark991]

for the last part in drawing the clouds so you use a mixing chalk brush or the solid color for putting down color?

[Kaytothelink]

@99LinkinPark991 Both, mostly solid though

[99LinkinPark991]

@Kaytothelink  thx ^^

[Daesiy]

I really love the bright, saturated blues you used in the sky. They're gorgeous.

It's so cool how you can draw different animals so effortlessly and have them all be anatomically correct. :3

[wowaholic98]

amazing!

[scoogarf]

I love the cat's expression the most, it's so cute...

[AquaShamu]

Perfectly beautiful. :D

[crimsonwolf333]

that's extremely awesome!

[OpiumSaphi]

Very cool, you're so good at backgrounds. It always shows that the background can do a lot with a picture at the end. So beautiful *w* And you can capture emotions as well, too! x3

[BorderCollies4eva]

I must say that if i were either Sei or tikiya I would love receiving something this well done :)

I love the expression on all their faces, and the background looks great!

wonderful job

but can i also ask, at 3:50, when you create the lighting thingy (not sure what to call it) but i can see that you use a black and white on your pallet, and have adjusted the hue jitter to get black white and grey colours, then blured it, then erase the middle

but what did you do after that? Overlay?

cheers

[Kaytothelink]

@BorderCollies4eva Thank you! And I either used Overlay or Soft Light, can't really remember.

[KrazyKai0905]

@BorderCollies4eva (This is late, I know XD)

I do the same thing, I use Overlay unless it's got colors in it, then I try different ones.

[BorderCollies4eva]

@KrazyKai0905 haha thats ok :)

and thanks !

[Bubblekittie1]

idk if u hav tis, but wats the cdiff between a wolf and cayoty

[Kaytothelink]

@Bubblekittie1 Well, many things... anatomically, coyotes are generally smaller, sleeker, with longer extremities (ears, muzzle), smaller paws, different marking patterns and different behavioral patterns as well (they are far more intelligent and adaptable than a wolf is).

Not to be blunt... but you could kind of just google it and see for yourself x3 They're not dead ringers for each other by a longshot.

[Bubblekittie1]

@Kaytothelink Wow, i didnt think they were that different! thnx btw, imma gonna remember it!

[Tasiamor]

whitch size do you use on your pictures you draw? :) I pixels x)

[99LinkinPark991]

Beautiful. This made my day :)

[99LinkinPark991]

lol, the song should be 'solar powered life'

[hereseespeaknoevil]

i don't know why you had to say any about wolves. none of um even come close to looking like a wolf.

very beautiful picture though :)

[cryptocanis]

AIJHAISUFHFHSK, this is so beautiful. I love this song and I've always thought a picture done to it would be wonderful ^O^ It's interesting to see the whole sketching process. Planning out the background and shading so thoroughly is something I need to start doing.

The mood comes across so well. :D I actually love the composition, too. Is it going to be on your dA account, out of curiousity? Because I'll have to fave it if it is C: (this is Canis-ferox, by the way x] )

[IzBilly]

tey was cute :3 Even if theres no wolf x3

Btw, luve tho clouds x3

[tikitourch]

I love you & Sai so much, there are no word to express how much I love you guys ! All are amazing, epic, crazy, funny, loving, gayness, double rainbows, casting magic, making love to the ground times together! Like, Im so happy that I met Sai on dA and a few weeks later met you on AG. I can remember that like as if it was yesterday. I fucking love you guys forever, you mean so much to me! You guys inspire me daily & encourage me. Damn it im getting all teary!

You guys are the best;; -tiki

[Kaytothelink]

@tikitourch ;w;

[KymaraTheManedWolf]

Adorable X3

[XiFadingExistenceX]

I love the coyote, dog and bobcat xD

Seriously.

Cuties.

<3

I love how you shade O:< I'm jealousss.

[DarkflameWarriors]

Epicness!!!

That's awesome, I can't wait to see what you draw next!

[Shenkka]

At 1:32, it looks like you're using the Rule of Thirds. That really caught my interest XD

[Kaytothelink]

@Shenkka That's exactly what I'm doing ;3 Nice catch!

[wq47Dyami]

Amazing! As usual :3

[wolfheart133333]

[DeidarasLilStudent]

[proxyshark]

[cynder109]

That's really good, and I love this song.

Just wondering what was the elapsed time for this?

[Kaytothelink]

@cynder109 I think around 2 or 3 hours total.

[cynder109]

@Kaytothelink wow.

[ladykatie207]

wow truely amazing ! I don't think ive seen anything like this before!!!

[DeathNoteRyukWolf]

wow owo I really love how you do cloud...one question for cloud?...Do you use filter things on cloud/sky?

[Kaytothelink]

@DeathNoteRyukWolf No, it's all hand-drawn.

[DeathNoteRyukWolf]

@Kaytothelink ohh wow you did wonderful job on that one! :D

[GoofyMutt12]

Wonderful! I especially love the sky! Great work.

[DesertedFracture]

wow....i love it, as usual :D your drawings always inspire me to draw better :D the picture is adorable.

[Chireiya]

Lovely piece, great job :) One can really feel the love in this.

I would like to know where you got that cloud brush from.

*adds you to deviantwatch*

[Kaytothelink]

@Chireiya The brush is a default photoshop brush. It's called Chalk (or something similar).

[tooi816]

loverly :D

[xBlackkatt]

Totally, unbelievably epicquality . - .

Continues to stare at the purtyness-

I know you hate questions, but I've searched this up EVERYWHERE, and it is quite general, not about your methods:

I have all the same equipment as yourself, but my lines come out hard, jittery, and when I use lasso, it becomes a rather irritating jagged line when being filled in with either the paintbrush or bucket. I never had the problem with PSE6 - do you do anything to settle the lines?

[Kaytothelink]

@xBlackkatt Thanks! And that's not the first time I've been asked that, oddly. But no, I don't do anything to smooth out my selections.

[xBlackkatt]

@Kaytothelink Alright ^^

At least I'm not the only one with the problem . - .

I think I might have found a fix to the line art problem, but the lasso tool is still messed up >>

I still can't get over the epicness of this, the ease you have of drawing it T.T

[Silverwolfnyght]

Awww this is beautiful <3 the background is truely amazing, not to mention the character :3 awsome job!! <3

[Avyris]

MOAR
