What a cool idea!
Awesome vid man! These tutorials are invaluable. I was wondering if you could make a video about everything one would need to become a excellent concept artist. Like a list of the essentials to practice. Like how long it would take from no knowledge to full understanding and what things one should practice to become a concept artist. Like 3 point perspective, Anatomy so on. It would really give me an idea of what i need to learn. How long its gonna take (Or maybe how long it took for you) And help me make a chart of everything i need to practive over the years to further my skills. This would really help me out and hopefully everyone else. Thanks!
Very eye opening video I've seen the potential of custom brush before but after this I believe it has more potential than ever, Great Video. By the way I have this problem in perspective which makes me loose my confidence in drawing characters maybe you could help me out I've been practicing perspective often by drawing boxes and I think Its doing me good but when I try to draw characters and place them in perspective(especially extreme ones) I cant seem to find the right way to place them. I've tried using 8 boxes (for 8 headed hero character) and draw it with the box as a guide but it does'nt work for me or I just dont get it. I just wanted to know if theres an easier way for character perspective. Anyways hope you can help me with my problem, tnx.
wicked!!!! I love it.
Excellent info here, thanks a bunch!
Great technique. That was such an eye opener. Love your vids man
That's really, really nice!!
And I wonder the same thing that Josh do.
From 3:01 to 3:11, you perform several tasks in rapid succession. Now, these are probably old hat for you, but would you mind detailing what you did there--OR, is there another tutorial elsewhere I haven't seen that would explain the precise steps that you performed in this 10-second gap?
Thankya!
@ Fred Lang: Great question. These two videos ( selection layer , layer set mask) should answer your question.
This is so cool! I'm going to look at custom brushes a bit differently now, I think.
Blew my mind right around 3:13 or so... Using a selection to mask and brush/erase what you want is way smarter, easier, better and less destructive than what I would have tried to do there!
Love the site and the videos, looking forward to a Ctrl+Paint 2.0 (hopefully without spammers and trolls?).
I'm trying to get a few bucks to hit up the store, too.
Also, I really dig the videos with worksheets and downloads. Do the paid videos have worksheets/downloads/brushes/actions/etc.???
