sycra I was wondering how do you compress your videos to a small file size. I did a 10 hour long painting (up on my page incase you wish to see) the original videos totalled to around 3 gig i think and then getting it down to under 20mb was a battle, been quite a while since I've done any drawings so can't remember now but I wonder if you know a easy way. nice to have you back btw :)

@rookie66 You might wanna try exporting in mp4 format.

What a masterpiece! Nice!

Oh, and I know that you weren't able to make a tutorial, but this might be a good idea if you want to give some information at the end without subbing or dubbing your video. Perhaps you could, at the end of your painting session, uncheck all layers (making them all invisible) and then, one by one, making each layer visible in succession, on top of one another. That way, we'd know what was on each layer and how many layers you used. But I still learned a lot!

[Sycra]

@Rationalific Yeah, that might be good, except I only used one layer...

[zepher234]

When you shifted to color, did you use an Overlay/ Multiply layer(s)? Or did you make another layer on top and simply paint in a low opacity over the black and white?

Btw, love the final fantasy music :]

[Sycra]

@zepher234 I didn't create a new layer, I just painted on the same layer. I didn't paint at low opacity, I have opacity at 100% but set to pen pressure, so I just lightened the pressure on tablet pen.

every time you start out your drawings/paintings you start out with nothing more then a bunch of scribbles, then my jaw hits the floor when you end it with such awesomeness like this!! thank you for sharing with us!

[Urhed]

Awesome! Could you please make a video explaining your coloring technique?

[Aethereium]

What brush do you use to paint this sketchs? Amazing sketches!

[kazanjianm]

Makes me want to blow the dust off of my tablet......Digital hasnt clicked with me yet.

@raindropsneverfall Aside from size usually, the biggest difference is that the Bamboo is much less sensitive to pressure. So it's very difficult to control the opacity with it, and you will have to manually change opacity a lot more often to create equal results.

I have a Bamboo, and at first I thought it was impossible to use it for accurate painting compared to an Intuos. Now I realise that it just takes practice, but the Intuos is still faster and a lot more fun to paint with.

i love the video, but the soundtrack is fucked up.. 

[raindropsneverfall]

So, what are the benefits of drawing with a Wacom Intuos over a Wacom Bamboo? I have the latter, and if I’m going to be as polite as possible but still being truthful, it’s shit.

[MedievalWerewolf]

I love the fluidity of the pose on this one.

@Sycra I believe That was something I tried already using quicktime pro, (camtasia only exports in avi or its own) and I encountered issues of sorts. I will try again for the future. I think my main issue was to render it down to a nice size it would take forever. I actually remember me going to bed with my computer on to render overnight. That's not natural is it?

in case you're a techy I have a dual processor with 2 gig ram.
