Photoshop painting for video essay

So I am supposed to have a voiceover of this essay but my computer is a huge pile of broken all over the place, so this is as far as I've got. I wouldn't have uploaded the essay version anyway, its all about hope and careers and terrible things like that.

I had no idea what I was gonna draw when I started recording, but after I drew a landscape I realized my entire essay was about people, so I drew that chick too.

Music is Guilty Cubicles by Broken Social Scene. I was listening to them, and this song in particular as I finished (and it happened to fit the length requirement) so it seemed appropriate

Glad to see you're still painting, great work! Any chance you have that voiceover essay handy? I'd love to hear it. :D

@archangelgabe No waaaay, it's really not worth it. This video + essay did get me in though. I didn't make it through the final rounds, but they said if I were ever to apply again, just use the same essay and I'd get full points again

Amazingly detailed and inspirational concept, good luck getting a career on this!

Holy shit do you have like keyboard shortcuts for colors?

Because that's fucking pro.

@CheeseMoe13 Nope, I just use "alt" a lot. Temporarily changes the tool to the eyedropper as long as you hold it. I'm using pressure sensitivity on my tablet to vary the opacity of colors as I blend, and then I use the eyedropper tool to pick up colors from the blended ones...if that makes sense

Great job Ferret!

This was really calming and soothing, and yet beautiful to watch. Hope to see more of these and keep up the great work!
