So I thought this would be a good time to try some speed-painting, because I rarely do any real backgroundy stuff, and ... yeah, I don't know, I don't really "get it". Obviously it doesn't look near the same as y'alls ... And this took like two hours or something.

I can't find one that isn't just a how to.

I like the last picture; the way the sunlight pours through the clouds and crawls over the mountains is awesome. And that water is fantastically detailed and realistic-looking to me. I also like the contrast of the dark trees vs. the rest of the picture and the green firefly highlights up front -- very cool IMO. It's one of those things where you can really imagine being there and what it'd be like.

how the hell do you guys do this

seriously

"herp derp practice"

I mean it -- sometimes I don't even understand this stuff, whether it's the texture of the fur or the detail of a cluster of leaves or the gradients of light... amazing stuff

Nullifidian 03-29-2012 02:51 PM

Re: ITT: spitfire post painting
 
For me, it's a matter of getting the composition right, everything else after that is detailing which requires knowledge of the materials you're painting. And ofcourse knowing your tool which requires practice.

I'd say, just try painting stuff with the photoshop brush tool and a tablet. Experiment with different brush settings, see what fits best for you. Post your work and we'll be happy to post critique on it. ;)

Reincarnate 03-29-2012 02:58 PM

Re: ITT: spitfire post painting
 
I honestly wouldn't even know where to begin -- I worry if I got a tablet, it'd wind up being a wasted investment. I have absolutely no clue how those kinds of pictures are put together. Whenever I dick around in PS using the brush my attempts at coloring *anything* look like crap, lol.

Nullifidian 03-29-2012 03:06 PM

Re: ITT: spitfire post painting
 
Just start drawing. Draw what you see, draw from your imagination, whatever. Just start drawing. Draw everyday (something I should uphold better myself but it's true nonetheless)
If you're bad at faces, draw faces. If you're bad at hands, draw hands. If you're bad at anatomy, practice anatomy. If you're bad at materials such as metal or gold, draw them. Gotta draw 'em all!

I've asked artists in my school and on AIM, and besides "practice" (which they know is absolutely useless advice in practical terms), they mentioned how a lot of it comes from observation in general. Examples include wearing a long sleeved shirt and seeing how the colors work out in different positions.

If you look at your arm, for example, there are darker shades of color in certain areas depending on the angle. Artists use their memory/experience to determine where these different color values would be. I happen to be someone with a poor memory for things like this, and because I require a lot of explanation and shading is more about observation/remembering from experience in general, shading is an absolute nightmare for me.

If there is one thing about art that stands out to me immediately and also pisses me off the most when I try it, it's shading. Haha

I've only started to take a very rudimentary interesting in drawing recently...I've learnt that I have to see everything in cones, cylinders and spheres (and cubes) as the most basic infrastructure of an object or component.

Yea I was extremely limited on sample stock but I thought that castle would fly if I try to make it dimmer. Overall planning was pretty much shit cause I just jumped right in to painting details and throwing in stuff. But I am pretty satisfied with it being the second try. (The first one made me cry) .

This is more like a personal brush test than anything.

I think i might get addicted to brush making lolz.

Addition, making it more green. The potion store.
...green + industrial just dont run well with me lol..

darkshark 04-7-2012 06:21 PM

Re: ITT: spitfire post painting
 
Your scale is either really off, or really epic in that last one. That's the largest potion shop ever, it's like 40 stories tall...or your people are tiny xD Still looks very pleasing to the eye. These green palettes are working wonders.


Also, Spit's turn:

Not sure how this takes half an hour with all the coloring/shading along with the outlines.

Do you think you could make a video demonstration, maybe sped up to show what actually goes on behind those 30 minutes?

Spenner 04-8-2012 04:58 PM

Re: ITT: spitfire post painting
 
Layering plays a big role. You cannot do something like that from top to bottom, left to right, in one fellow swoop. Rather from back to front and all around, starting with shapes that are simple or strokes, planning it out and building up those simple shapes.

Re: ITT: spitfire post painting
 
About 45 mins on this one. I made a timelapse video for it as well for those of you trying to learn.






**edit: I actually just thought about this, but uhhh, that video isn't the best learning material since I only painted on one layer (if you want to correct a mistake with only 1 layer it's 10x more work), so maybe I'll make a better timelapse video more geared towards beginners next time lol.

Nullifidian 04-12-2012 02:26 PM

Re: ITT: spitfire post painting
 
**** that, paint on one layer. Forces you to be confident with your strokes and if you make a mistake, you just paint over it. :J

darkshark 04-12-2012 05:26 PM

Re: ITT: spitfire post painting
 
I agree with that, but beginners aren't quite as confident as you or me and working with different layers is super beneficial (and learning to use layers is extremely useful anyway).

Nullifidian 04-12-2012 05:45 PM

Re: ITT: spitfire post painting
 
Which is why I think starting with painting on one layer would be more beneficial, since you develop a better understanding and more confidence early on. Layers are useful regardless though, I agree.

Re: ITT: spitfire post painting

I can only simple things in Photoshop.

But if i photoshop i make always backgrounds or something i never draw anything.

Speedpainting isn't about detail, it's just getting a feel for the scene, establishing a base mood or concept. They're quick and grungy for a reason.

Onward.

Not exactly a speedpainting, was up all night with this. Painted in about 9 hours.
