MY COMPLETE DIGITAL PAINTING PROCESS

SOCIAL STUFF

[AbyssalSoda]

Traditional Art Level 8: Hyper Realism
Digital Art Level 2: Still not understanding how to blend

"I have a really good understanding of anatomy."

This was so refreshing to hear. I get so demotivated when I hear skilled people constantly talk about how bad they are at said skill, completely waving aside the skills they've clearly gained in the process.

I'm also sick of hearing, "i cAn oNlY dRaw A STiCk fIguRe" like, this self-deprecating humor was comforting and charming the first time I heard it, but now it's just overused. I want to see it be more socially acceptable to be visibly proud of your accomplishments.

I guess what I am trying to say is that I appreciate people who take the time and effort to not only study a skill, but to take a step back and recognize the great extent of what they have achieved. It is more motivating for me, too.

Digital art has always been so completely fascinating to me as a traditional artist. I love what you said about it being it's own art form, and your piece turned out so lovely. Thanks so much for the shout out at the beginning as well! 💜

1. Do a rough sketch
2. Create lineart using a reference to get accuracy proportions (flip the canvas once or twice to check proportions)
3. Add a dark grey background and add rough values in greyscale, focusing on the lighting but don't go too bright. Keep things soft and painterly, avoid using pure white and keep highlights for the end.
4. Be patient and take your time with the piece until you're satisfied
5. Use color dodge to lighten brighter areas
6. Paint colors using the soft light adjustment layer. Duplicate this layer and turn down the opacity. Play around with the color adjustment curves.
7. Clean up the details

(I'm not quite sure how you would replicate this gray scale to color technique in procreate 🤔)

my problem is, I am rly slow, so after a few hours (like 12) I get rly impatienet, but if I leave it be for a day, even if it's just "going to sleep", I know I will prolly never pick it back up again, unless it's something with a deadline x.x >, <

"maybe the problem lies in your face"
I felt that :'(

[somniato]

I was like "Oh, the Moon's a button. Haha, it reminds me of Coraline."


Sh*t, it is Coraline.

[philmehrart]

I'm so jealous of people's ability to draw like this. You are SO GOOD

[Sabrina-qrfv]

I tried this technique and let me tell you, This is one of THE BEST painting tutorial ever 😂♥️♥️ It really improved how my paintings look like and It made me better understand shadows and lights !!

(Please don’t mind my terrible sentences I’m French 😅..)

[itshaitime]

I've wanted to achieve this painterly style for sooo long but I'm incredibly impatient with my art, I'm slowly learning to let things sit and to go slow and this tutorial is amazing for me

[radioactive_angel]

That's beautiful!! I love Coraline too. I've started painting in greyscale after I have realized I have a difficult time painting edges and value. I have a fairly good grasp on color, (I adore vivid color), but it didnt look right sometimes. Your videos help so much. I've improved so much in just two days after practicing with value. Thanks so much! Couldn't do it without you!

Uses krita: Check.
Left-handed: Check.


Ohmy this video appeared in my recommended feed and it taught me so many tips and tricks for Krita. Thanks so so much for the video!!

[mejeancline]

[gracedeming]
