Thank you so much for this video. Hardy does a good job showing what he's talking about. Loved the comparison of the human and the ship, still being the same ideas. Anyway - this was exactly what I needed today, trying to figure out how to do sillhouettes for more "realistic" characters, rather than over the top animated ones. :)

Really insightful video. I had wondered how artists create such interesting shapes and designs. Now I have a whole set of design ideas to learn, like contrast and big medium small. Is there any resources you would recommend for design theory concepts? (Especially regarding shapes and shape arrangements)

@fowlerillus

9 ай бұрын

That's awesome, thanks! I actually teach a mentorship program called Concept Art Academy and the first 6 weeks heavily based on those shape theories. I think they are the foundation for all successful design (and something I was totally missing for much of my art journey). Check it out here and let me know if you have any questions www.digitalpaintingstudio.com/academy

Hi Hardy, great video! Are you going to cover translating the ship silhouette to a 3 dimensional design in a future video? Thank you for the demo 👍

sorry can i ask you do you think that the size (17 inch) for screen display tablet is prohibitive for a professional concept artist? (I intend to give it as a gift to a friend who is a professional) the product we are referring to is the wacom cintiq pro 17

@fowlerillus

I haven't used that specific product but from what I understand it is quite top of the line and Wacom is a fantastic brand. I think that would be an excellent setup for your artist friend and a truly amazing gift so I say go for it!

This is how Gareth Edwards designed the creatures from Monsters.

@@fowlerillus the movie's great too.

06:00 Space ship?? What kind of ship: generally what defines its look? 8:58 looks like a headless bird or menace, but without any details that I stubbornly want to protect. 17:02 our imagination treaure chest opens and multiple streams subconsciously guide our movement. Same big picture swoop from gen for overall landscape, background, coloring, lighting, body form then working towards more detail. On my way towards more and more detail, I have to remind myself: which details interfere with who my character or concept is.

Great perspectives here. I totally agree on those form/function points.

so this brush.. how come this brush only paints with on the left side and not the whole brush, is there a setting in photoshop that does this?

@fowlerillus

Жыл бұрын

Hmm - that's weird. I'm sure it's a setting issue, but I'm not sure which one could cause the issue you're describing. I have pressure sensitivity set to the brush size jitter, so that would be a good place to start.

@floyd1411

Жыл бұрын

@@fowlerillus sorry should have described thay better. Firstly I am a Noobish in photoshop and mostly do photomanips but I am trying my hands at sketching. Right, so the question I had really was, that I can see you are using a rectangle brush of sorts. And when you apply a stroke the whole rectangle doesn't apply buy only a portion of it (I believe it would be the left) Is that because of the Jitter settings? Or another brush setting?

Can anyone teach me how to rotate the brush angle like that?

@fowlerillus

7 ай бұрын

Sure! I think you're referring to the brush tip shape angle to give the brush that slight slant (if I'm making a wrong assumption there, please let me know!) - to do that, hit F5 to bring up your brush editor. At the top of the little editor menu you will see Brush Tip Shape. Select that and you will see this diagram of a circle with two white dots and an arrow. That is the modifier that you need to adjust. You can flatten the brush by bringing the circles closer together or you can change the angle by grabbing that arrow and rotating. I hope that helps!

I’m character design is form over function more important?…

@fowlerillus

Good question - I think both are important and have to be considered but I usually try to get form solved first - just pure "are these shapes cool" as my first priority. Then I start working out function things like - where are the ship's engines and cockpit or where are the robot's joints etc.
