Digital artists usually go way overboard with their layers. 50+ layers for every brush stroke they make and use layer modes (multiply, overlay, etc) on everything. It's nice to see something a bit more on the "traditional" side.

I LOVE these videos. I wish Clip Studio Paint would sponsor you to do these every week. I love your rendering style and always marvel at how you translate that to digital paintings which is the only medium I engage with.

I love the way he holds the pencil, he holds the pencil like traditional artists would hold it. Adorable, loved the painting.

Your painting still looks like YOUR paintings even digitally. Cool as

I love that Clip Studio is so artist friendly. It’s jam packed with so many tools.

I am sooo happy you did a cyber Sci- Fi painting. It’s just sooo beautiful and the way with are strong warm tones and cool tones just has me in awe. You never fail to put out gem videos ❤❤.

as a tradtional artisit I love the gouache brush in CSP it feels so. natural and textured. it is really a great program if you're used to traditional brushes

I really like the simple 3 layer painting process you talk about here. I am still very new at digital painting and what I struggle with most is removing the sketch lines without removing the whole layer. Also I need to be looser in my digital art. And this was very inspiring

Non digital artist here and one of the reasons for not trying it is the layers and knowing the best way to work. Actually I'll add brushes to that list, as I only have the Photoshop defaults and when I watch other YTers, they have so many custom brushes, I of course won't have.

I appreciate you talking about your 3 later approach ans also that you're using pretty default brushes. You have answered my 2 questions/issues at the same time. 🙂

You should join David Finch on one of his Monday Night Draw episodes. He gets into color and painting on some of his episodes. That would be excellent.

Getting started is allways my biggest challenge. I've had some luck with importing a traditional sketch to the canvas and then jumping off from there. Mostly I think I just need more repetition.

This is hilarious and so reassuring. As a trad pen and ink artist who transitioned this year to digital or rather decided to add digital to my repertoire, the 3 layer technique is something I’ve been doing as well.😂
Also the bit about pushing paint around and figuring stuff out on the go is super relatable. Thank u for this I feel seen and it makes me less self conscious about my lack of experience.

1:10 Presence: main layer to establish foundation drawing to block out baseline structure. Doing underlying color layer. then top layer working toward sculpting and then finishing details -- The big distraction: Thinking that having 16 million color, an 8k resolution, and more than one hundred layers is absolutely necessary.
Coming from a traditional art background,
12:46 When my mind says what now, I save as original version 1 then a copy version 2 that I can come back to play some more, whenever. Intended for experimentation and learning.

I love clip studio and how you can customize the brushes. It's really fun to see how your process differs when using different mediums. It would be interesting to see you try out good old MS paint.

I'm scared of too many layers, it can be frustrating, and makes the process less enjoyable when trying to keep up with all layers. it's absolutely inspiring to see your process and how you prioritize of what works for you over all distracting tools and still be able to make a beautiful paint. Thanks for the video.

I was needing my Alpay fix!! Been a while, and im so happy you dropped this!! Love your content always and this is no exception. Great work my dude, and thanks for the content and tips!!

After watching some of your earlier vids, and me "translating" your traditional process to digital, it's super cool to see your digital art process! Digital painting is incredibly fun.

I hope you make more videos about digital painting. There is an abundance of coloring tutorials out there, but not so many people showing a painterly digital process like that!

I use procreate and krita bc I can't really afford the CSP monthly subscription. It is still super valuable to hear you explain the tools you use so I can find similar tools in my programs.

I like the idea here. This is a really good and sound idea, definitely going to try it and most likely adopt it into my process.

[schüli]

i really love your art style wether its traditional or digital. the way you use colors and leave some parts much more abstract than others ist truly amazing :) sometimes i would wish for a little bit more individuality in the faces though
