The way you light things is so beautiful and real. I would've assumed this was a 3D model if I didn't know better. Very helpful tips

I'm so glad to hear that. If I can help a fellow artist out there - that's a day well spent.
This painting is double awesome. Having learnt with you the value of shapes helps to have a much better understanding of what you are painting and why, gives a much deeper insight. Second, you address a common pitfall by not repressing the urge to finish a painting. One of the most difficult things to control, far more than just technical aspects. Great video Hardy!

Peace be upon you How to draw shiny surface?
@fowlerillus
2 жыл бұрын
And to you :) For shiny surfaces, it's just a matter of increasing contrast. Brighter highlights and darker shadows. You can also reflect the environment on the sides to increase the effect.
Do you have a specific brush to paint with? if so, what is it called? your concept is insane btw
@fowlerillus

For the silhouette concept phase, I just use a solid diamond shaped brush. Those angular corners give the shapes an interesting quality. For painting, I just use a standard round brush set to very low flow and opacity. I tap repeatedly to build up tone slowly and with control. I hope that helps. Thanks for checking it out!

I need to find a way to make those publicly available. Right now, they are only available to my academy students. BUT, these brushes are really common and not worth spending any $$. It's just a standard round brush with really low flow and opacity for the values. A few smudge brushes too that came with Photoshop
is this a warframe?
