How to Learn Digital Painting (Beginners)

A true beginner's guide to digital painting. The best way to learn the basics and get started with it. Remember, much like learning to play an instrument, the most enjoyable way to get good is to take works you like and break them down in a way that makes it accessible without ruining the intent.

I feel very targeted every time you say not to use lines

[goosey]

when you've been digital painting for over 3 years and still feel like a beginner :')

[garnet]

Lord, as someone who grew up drawing lines and focusing my art to look like a manga, this is going to be an absolute struggle

[TrueLegion]

I've been struggling to get my brain to understand HOW painting works without lines, this was an absolutely BRILLIANT breakdown and thank you so, SO MUCH! Please, more of this!

"art is all about decision making"

me who's unexceptionably TERRIBLE at decisions: *chuckles* im in danger

Sinix: "Art is all about decision making."
Me: "Oh no..."

[GabrielTobing]

No lines, GOT IT.

Me: Looks at my art work.

This is a habit that will be hard to overcome.

Commenting so I can get back to this in the future and see how far I've come with digital painting. This is the video that set me on my track. Watched on January 24, 2022 and started to paint a penguin that same day.

I thought you over exaggerated your hair in your self portraits. I was wrong

I've been doing digital drawing for about 4 years and I'm still heavily relying on lines instead of shapes. Thank you so much for this!!

[Acetronomy]

I rely heavily on lines for traditional art since I do character design and illustration, so I'm very excited to try this digital painting style!

[bathestyles]

okay but like, has anyone actually gone and tried that two value study thing on their own yet. I'm on a second attempt and this shit is fucking hard.

[ronchan]

Shit, I thought I was at intermediate level before watching this video, now I'm back to being a beginner

I'm trying to start learning digital painting and this video is all that I needed. I've watched a bunch of tutorials from some incredible artists, but I encountered two barriers: (1) they all have VERY different processes, and I don't know which one will be best for me, since I've never done anything like this and (2) I constantly felt that there was a lot more theory behind what they were doing than that which they could make fit into a short tutorial. I feel like this video is waaaay more "back to the basics", which is just what I needed. Thank you SO MUCH for sharing! I was feeling completely lost, but now I'm excited to get back to studying. =)

Thank you!!! I was born with a visual deficiency, yet still love to use what sight I do have to explore my creativity. This video has been the first to make values understandable and visually accessible to me. Digital painting is a hobby for me because it is accessible for me. I’m so happy to have found your channel.

"My friend ahmed aldoori" He was definitely on gun point

[katharinamarschall]

My world is lines. I love lines. It gives me life.

[cursehaus]

Its so sad to see such a talented and awesome artist get so little recognition, I've been watching your videos longer than I remember and I can't wait until people start to see your work and you get more popular on YouTube. Keep on making these videos man.

[samthemisdeed]

sinix sir your tutorials are always the push one needs in their artistic journey, you always break down those big fundamentals into digestible bites and i cant thank you enough for all the help i got from your videos over the years
