Concept Art Exercise: How to Paint Creepy-Looking Monsters
Digital Painting Tutorial: Painting Monsters
Concept Art Genre: Sci-Fi Creatures
Subject: How to Paint Scary Monsters
Monsters can be scary as hell - but why? What makes us recoil in horror from one monster but not really care about another?
Humans are hard-wired to recognize certain things about creatures and animals - is this thing a threat? Can it eat me? Should I run from it? As concept artists, we can learn how to use those built-in human reactions to design creatures that really get our viewer's attention.
In this 15 minute video I challenge you to practice blending realism with your artistic technique-to create a compelling monster. So grab your stylus and let's paint your world.
Key Take-Aways: How to create a scary monster by playing with Anatomy, Rendering and Dramatic Lighting to produce an authentic, visceral horror reaction.
→ Evoking Familiar Anatomy
→ Realistic Rendering
→ Dramatic Lighting

Thank you so much! That's really nice to hear :)
I am impressed how your rendering process develops both lights and shadows simultanously! I first do flat local colors, then add shadows and highlights separately. Much more time consuming but more efficient if I want to change light scenarios. It is crazy how many different ways we got to achieve our final results :D

yep, most monsters have a humanoid base, one of the lecturers at uni said if your monster/creature has a humanoid form that has been distorted in some way, the human mind will be scared or uncomfortable looking at it. we recognize the shape but know something is wrong

What brush are you using for the rendering part? It looks so clean
@fowlerillus
Жыл бұрын
Standard round brush for all of this I'm pretty sure. I used a brushy textured smudge to get some of those more expressive marks though.
Disgusting and useful! :)
