Digital Painting Basics - Simple Forms to Complex Paintings

[@ProkoTV]

Thanks for the lesson Tayler! If you want to take your digital painting even further check out this lesson on how to make your digital paintings look traditional - kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZnXFl2lpjtOem6M

[@heathjohnston4098]

what are some best practices for project proposals and applying for artist residencies? I have found myself in a never ending cycle of proposing and applying tirelessly with very little success. Any tips to be more effective in these areas would be of tremendous help

[@vertigo1721]

THANK YOU FOR MAKING THIS AS A TRADITION ARTIST THEN GETTING USE TO DIGITAL THIS IS VERY HELPFUL HOPE THERE IS MORE VIDEOS LIKE THIS

[@ReligionAndMaterialismDebunked]

I think of some random dumb, funny things. The next time someone says to me that draw the line there, meteorically, I want to literally draw them a line and hopefully laughter, the best medicine, comes into play.

Thanks for having me on guys! Shout out to Proko and his team for making this a fun experience. :)

[@ItachiUchiha-gf4fz]

I just met you today and I'm already getting an Idea of how I'm gonna learn digital landscapes painting on procreate after studying figures. Thank you so much for the video this inspired me more!🥰

[@aiiiiiiight-in3oq]

Your demonstration is a lot easier to understand than tons of digital painting process videos out there, and a lot of important keys to accelerate the speed and manipulating the atmosphere are mentioned too. Thank you and Proko for this awesome video!

From one Taylor to another, thanks!

Could we by any chance get the brushes you use for this video?

It's scary and fascinating how a 20-minute video reallt felt like a few years to me with how much information is concised and delivered. Thanks so much Tayler!

I am a digital artist with years of experience and I still found this video interesting and useful. Great presenter and very cool format.

[@139-b7j]

probably a shitty digital artist then

[@varunsingh2052]

@@139-b7j So you mean that people who have been painting for years can't find something interesting and useful in a video and be good at the same time? If you're thinking when you get "good" you don't need to learn anything anymore you're wrong. The artists who are at a very high skill level never stop learning and pushing the boundaries. Get a grip

[@139-b7j]

Varun Singh I am already good and anyone who is good doesn’t need to learn this basic shit

I like the way Tayler explained everything, not only he made it simple and very easy to understand for a beginner like me, but his tone is also very soothing, it's so nice to hear!

[@Sewius]

If you're cramped for screen space Krita has some great options for managing the U.I. such as a canvas only mode and pop-up palette among other options.

[@guineapig1985]

Beautifully explained and a wonderful final piece. I appreciate the reminder to have fun and experiment with techniques and to not just copy the reference. I find I often forget that!

[@D4rkLigHtLP]

Nice, I was just thinking "you know what I should watch a video about painting basics". So I typed it in the KZbin searchbar and then I see that you just uploaded a video exactly about that 20 mins ago!

[@Rosenblum18]

Amazing technology - and the artist who knows how to use it! Just astounding how far we've come from a couple of guys in a 1976 garage - to this!

[@darasto2023]

I find those very short specific tutorials very useful, especially when flooded with work I can still add some learning without using too much time. thanks!

This is the perfect video I have found for a beginner. Please also make a step by step tutorial (not a speed art) of any illustration or painting I just want to grab the complete workflow in adobe illustration or adobe photoshop. Thanks

[@ButsJeroen]

Lots of little "aha"-moments for me in this vid, both technically and artistically. Thanks!

[@kingtigerbooks1162]

Great video from a wonderful channel. Art books have provided me a much-needed escape from real life. When life was difficult I'd set up my easy chair with coffee, a desk lamp and a stack of art books beside me. They kept me going during the hardest times. My art books are the best investments I ever made. My 4 favorite books are: - Wonderworks by Michael Whelan - Legacy by Frank Frazetta - Infinite Worlds by Vincent DiFate - Great Fighter Jets of the Galaxy 1 by Tim Gibson

[@generationm2059]

These books sound nice! I might go have a look at them.

[@Lobstrique]

this is so amazing! I've been using Photoshop for years, but not professionally, self taught kinda, and this video showed a new world for me

[@josh-yl7li]

Btw, the way he selected all his layers in 8:08 was by clicking the most bottom layer and the most top layer last. Then he shift + left click which selects all those layers selected. Then you would do Ctrl + G to group all selected layers into a group

[@minhart644]

Oh my god, you are now my new Idol

[@CarterDeLeo]

This was a great breakdown of your process. One thing that always surprises me when I watch things like this is that you will make some choices and I'll say "oh, I don't like that", but then 2 or 3 steps later it makes total sense and I can't imagine the painting without it. If I had done that first step I would have backed up and ended up shutting off that whole path. I guess that's just confidence that comes from experience. I do wonder if you had that whole plan in mind from the beginning or if you are just trying things and adapting as you go.
