Data harvesting pays for it

More people talking about shape is always appreciated!

The lasso is such an underrated tool. It bridges the lines of pencils and shapes of brushes. It’s a great way to learn to paint as well as for painting. I use it all the time and as much as I use brushes.

If you have a tablet, the mobile app Infinite Painter (not to be confused with Corel Painter) has a customizable fill brush. It's a lasso tools that autofills instead of creating a selection. Few people have heard of it (small dev team. No marketing. No popular influencers use it) so most assume it's bad. I've been using Painter professionally (3V071 visual information specialist) for close to a decade. They worked out the bugs over time if the reviews concern you. I haven't sent a big report in over a year. The workflow takes a few sessions to be comfortable (their marketing campaign at launch was "we are not photoshop") but it's smooth once you force yourself to get over the fact that it's not an Adobe clone. Apologies for the long rant like I'm a salesman. I get excited when I hear people say they love lasso tools because Painter feels like a secret. They made every tool a little more user friendly than market average and the result is pretty awesome

Very nice, a completely different emphasis on starting a project than I'm used to. I feel my brain changing.

"What kind of brushes do you use?" Scott: *Starts laughing

"thinking, I believe, the most useful thing you can do" wisdom for the ages my man!

This is still my all time favorite art video on youtube. I come back to this video every now and then cause it’s just so helpful for me

In Preston Blair’s book on animation, there is a section that talks about choosing poses, and the preferred are poses where the action is clear from the silhouette. I feel like it’s a similar concept to your “drawing by shapes” idea. Great video! I enjoyed listening as you explain your thought process 👍

Mind Blown. I have been working with and teaching Photoshop for years. This is such a brilliant approach to illustration. Thank you for sharing!!

this was a fantastic episode, the artwork is like the old classic movie posters and there was alot of small little tips and tricks and the grey scale image was like a frank frazetta concept and using the core basics of design and shapes to tell a story, SO many things to like about this video.

It's really awesome to have you narrating. I don't see a lot of these kinds of instruction vids with narration this good.

I was really curious about how they get such interesting shapes. Nice!

this video, your technique, the way you think about shapes, light and consistency, everything has been so helpful and amazing. Tank you.

I was using it a lot when I was designing websites. If you need a background, some quick effects or elements of UI, it's perfect to make them characteristic. And most importantly - none of my clients had an issue with it even when I was working on huge IPs because it didn't hurt their visual language. This technique is also great for texturing - you're just adding details and even if you're working on something realistic it's just matter of how much time you spend on the project, how many colors you use. It also gives you lot of control without practicing discipline of your hand a lot. For this moment I didn't really learn it as a form of making art pieces but after this video I'll will practice it a lot.

You single-handedly rekindled my passion for drawing. I don't know how to explain this, but the first time i used this technique it "clicked" for me - i could see shapes in the formless blobs of colour and i knew how to give them form by using light. This video flipped my art on its head. Thank you so much!

I was recently in a very large bookstore, and the one book with silhouette cover art was the only book in the entire store that genuinely caught my attention. It's now my favorite book.

until you started that kind of video i had a sort of bad impression of you... its completelly different now. very good!

That was great! There's so much about the mental problem solving process that comes through watching you work. Looking forward to the next vids!!

I love this!! I already use the lasso tool exclusively for shading. This really helps me see the true potential of my toolkits! Thank you, Scott and Proko!

This is legit one of the best videos I've ever seen on KZread. Amazing

This is absolutely awesome. This came together very quickly with the lasso tool. I'll have to try shaping like this in the future.

Impeccable sense of making shapes.

I love that way of approaching the image by carving out the shadows and focusing on the silhouette. Very cool.

Interesting, the lasso tool seems to get you more jagged lines than using round brush & eraser

Excellent! Scott Flanders masterfully communicates his process and makes it really easy to understand what, why and how. Video editing was great. Very inspiring.

Wow! Really glad youtube led me to this page. Never really thought of shape carving as the actual artform. was always taught to use it to get quick shapes to work on. Never to develop it further. so awesome

Love this tutorial - thanksyou so much Scott.

Evolve was a really cool game the environments were definitely one of its strong points so good on you man.

Whoa! I've been doing this type of lasso draw and fill technique too before this video. You get some really nice hard edged vector-like shapes.

Not only was this insightful, but Scott, your chill vibe really spoke to me on a deeper level. I'd love to be a fly on the wall of your classroom.

Love it Fantastic reminder of how much i love swamp thing, mike mignola, mood, swamps…and just wonderful technique

I love this so much. The art just looks very satisfying!

One of the best videos I have seen in a long time. thanks.

woke up at 3 am, couldn't sleep. got this recommended and i am completely blown away. this is phenomenal art and craftsmanship

That's how practice pays off. This was so amazing and helpful to watch.

It looks like a rad screen sprint! Very cool technique.

never thought about using the lasso tool like this, cool tips man

I really respect the comparison to graphic design here, and the emphasis to visually communicate what your intentions are

Holy crap man, thank you so much for the video. Proko way to go getting Scott to show his process, the way he explained made a lot of sense and for the first time I have seen someone started separating the grounds and designing the shape before heading towards the rest. Very helpful

Just finished watching. More please! I'd subscribe to Scott so hard if he showed up on KZread. In general, I've watched a lot of tutorials and practiced concepts a fair bit, so now I find that these kind of "talkthrough" demos help so much more than they used to. Really grateful that you made this happen Stan ❤

Really nice video Scott. Thanks

I would never have thought you create something so great with the lasso tool

Awesome! Looking forward for part 2

what a great technique, he builds the scenery so easily... wow man, thank you!

It's incredible how one picture can encourage you to make up and tie different plots to it.

Your like the Digital Artist version of Bob Ross! You just made all of this from just a Lasso tool, wow.

Scott Ive studied your Thumbnail Silhouettes extensively and they are simply exceptional.

This was amazing!! I was looking at posters in this style on pinterest for ages and always felt so inspired without really knowing how to tackle this.. now I know. Thanks so much

That was really good! Thanks.

really dope and in depth composition

What you do is very unique and looks amazing. Good job.

That was great!

This was very insightful and an amazing tip for composition. Thank you so much for sharing!

I love this! Such a cool way to approach an image. It really forces you to think about and deal with the major shapes, composition, layout, depth, etc before you start getting caught up in details. I myself often rush to the details and in the end realize there is something not quite right about the image or I find it difficult to figure out what to do with the background. Sadly it typically results in me not putting a background in at all. I'll have to work this up-front shape carving into my process.

I'd love to see another video with him! Love his style.

This is fascinating! The use of the lasso tool here is amazing! I've just got into drawing in the last few months and I'm finding the digital world so challenging. I can't believe how impactful, and easy, Scott makes this look. Awesome work.

Awesome presentation! Thank you so much for this!

Super interesting, what a full immersion of great knowledge! Thanks!

I love this! Thank you so much. I have had great use of your videos Proko and as an art-teacher i also get inspiration to make my own assignments and carry on the knowledge to my students. :D

Wow first video I’ve seen on this channel. I want this guy as my teacher, I’ve learned more in 2 minutes of hearing him talk than one semester of Drawing

Love it!

That was amazing, dude. Hugely inspired to try some silhouettes of my own. Thanks a bunch for sharing your process!

This was great. I once tried this a few years ago but never really pursued more with this style of art. I will have to give it a shot again, it just looks fun and creates a really interesting aesthetic.

Thank you for this video!!! I wish I'd seen this a year ago!!! Even still, thank you for the insights. This is definitely the kind of information I need so much right now! I'm learning lasso tool and making graphic shapes so this was like you sitting down and talking to me!! I relate so much!! Thank you

This is eye opening and excellent. Really good work. Thank you. Mind expanded, better artist now. Much love ❤️

That chromatic aberration trick is great! I was doing it in a more complicated way.

Dude this is brilliant work

Wow man... Your process is awesome.. How you use shape and colors is just amazing. The result is breathtaking. I am learning from such great peoples on the planet. Keep Creating !

Love those bold shapes.

This was great!

this is amazing !!

this is something very fitting for me. i was going through my "art parents" list and marking down what i like about them, and what i don't, and shape was a huge focus on shapes and silhouettes. real helpful for me.

This guy is AWESOME! What a great video! Thank you Scott!

This was so good! Loved watching and listening to his thoughts

This is extremely important for me right now since I’m trying to do a background in a fantasy setting. I got frustrated and started working on the character before truly dealing with the setting.

Amazing video with thorough explanations, I learned a lot, thank you very much!

Dude, this is eye opening. Awesome.

I can't wait to see more ! Awesome video ! Keep it up ! :)

What a fascinating approach! Thanks for sharing this!!

Love this. A hundred times better than any drawing class I ever took in college.

The greatest intro

Wild ! I love him, great work, it was so interesting omg, wow

this guy makes it looks so easy

I have a new appreciation for shapes.

Never would have thought to use the lasso tool like that. I'm stoked, now.

Omg this was so awesome!

Thanks for sharing your knowledge!

Very cool to watch this!!!

This is so cool! I think I know which technique I’ll use in my next artwork... Thanks for this inspiration
