Photoshop Painting Tips for Digital Artists - Esben Rasmussen

This is the 2nd part of Esben’s Leyendecker tutorial. In part 1 you got to see him sketch out the concept of the character in Leyendecker’s style. In this lesson he takes Jett and refines the sketch further before completing the piece by painting it. As you watch you’ll get insights into Esben’s thought process on painting along with style tips and photoshop tricks that artists can use to replicate a more traditional look.

THIS IS GOLD! i can't believe we are watching this for free, thank you so much for the content!

"..especially if you're a younger artist starting out, try to avoid social media, and what i mean by avoiding is that, you don't need to post, because it can end up feeling more demotivating than actually uplifting.."

this is really helpful, as a small artist i tend to compare myself to others with more followers and likes, and makes me want to stop doing art. but thanks to this, it changed my mindset and now focuses on the improvements that i'm making. thanks!

I really appreciate the last bit of the video, when Esben was redoing his hand pose. It really shows that being a pro doesn't mean getting it all right on the first try. Instead it's understanding your piece and making thoughtful decisions.

Great content, I just wish there was more talk about the layer organization, how things are added on top of each other and the thought process behind it since I think a lot of digital artists want to know how others are doing with it and compare. Like how would add highlight layer, or merge layers, or fix things after layers are merged, etc. But again, this is superb and I appreciate how he gave away some neat tricks.

My man literally said, don't focus on me, focus on the art, and just blurred him self out to the camera lol

Such a sincere, genuine artist. Really great listening to him work with no pretentiousness.

I love that Esben's signature on that Raze drawing (15:33) is also as stylized as Leyendecker.

So thrilled to see Leyendecker brought into the limelight! If you’ve not seen his actual work at The Museum of American Illustration in Newport, Rhode Island. It’s so worth the visit! Thank you so much!

I love his thought process in this video! Thank you for blessing us with content like this for free omg

I also love his holistic approach to digital painting, and how the points to be taken from here can also be applied to different disciplines. It also implies being grounded on the foundations and principals of art, which encourages me to study more of them

Again, thank you!

[lime]

this is a goldmine of knowledge! so helpful, thank you so much! i love how much he emphasized that mistakes are necessary to improvement, even as a professional. it's really motivating to hear that :)

[trent]

This was super awesome! I'd love to see more videos with this approach, especially when it comes to environments and landscapes.

[pricevegetable]

I'm so thankful that this step by step tutorial is for free this really saved me😊.

This, and the first video were fantastic. I learned a lot. Esben is a great teacher and entertaining too. Awesome stuff!

I always tended to concentrate on the face, areas of most importance. Mainly to convince myself that the piece is going to work. Then I can sort of relax and work on the rest of the work. Also, I can subconsciously still be analyzing the face and make changes here and there. Really enjoying your videos!

[kirterwindorado]

After i watch Esben, I always put sound in every work I do.

[Ceilvia]

Love this series and the very insight for explanation! I love hearing about the thoughts behind each step!

[FlynnTheRedhead]

Eyy love my Jett representation. Btw, this is an amazing video

[粉红终结者]

Thank you for sharing, your videos have taught me a lot of texture characterization problems that I have been unable to solve before. I am very impressed with your insights on graphics and have benefited a lot.
