" Why should you listen to me? I don't know " - it's so honest that you start to believe every word))

... I'm taking notes here for my second career as a finance guru ;).

You're the goat bro, nice vid serie here! Thank you for sharing knowledge for free

[@Jomarshun]

I've gotten into the habit of speeding up the videos when I feel the pace is slow. It really helps, for those who have a similar challenge with pacing. It's appreciated when instructors give the option of speeding up the videos instead of time-lapsing. Thank you for the video. Your instruction is well-structured and substantive, in my opinion. You're very generous to share this. Looking forward to going through the rest of them.

[@bynde8638]

Thanks mate. Of course speeding it up is a very good way of saving some time ... as is skipping to timestamps. If there is no timelapse there is just a limit of how fast I can do stuff, think about it and talk about it at the same time.

I love that you left it at original speed and explained all the reasons for why you did things a certain way, thank you! ❤ One tip for the microphone: it’s too sensitive right now which makes it pick up every mouth and swallow sound. If you don’t want this, you can adjust the settings a bit. This is such a comprehensive and helpful tutorial, so I’m very grateful you’re making this a series!

[@bynde8638]

Thanks for the input. I noticed the sensitivity issue and after this or the next episode (I'm not sure) I put a popfilter on the Mic and I think it got better.

[@secretagentmandanV2]

I really appreciate all of the talk about worrying about things that waste time and take away from the fun such as making sure your brush was opaque. Lots of great tips! Looking forward to more.

[@bynde8638]

Thank you. More tomorrow. 👍

Appreaciate it. It's coming later this week.

Amazing! I'll be looking forward for the next part

Thank you very much! So helpful!!!

[@MrJBARRON]

Fascinating process, thank you for sharing it. What kind of drawing tablet are you using?

[@bynde8638]

Hey thanks. I'm using the Intuos Pro L with a smooth surface.

[@MrJBARRON]

@@bynde8638 I don't think I've ever seen such a great digital painting tutorial done on a tablet before. That takes a high degree of skill to draw on the tablet surface while the "lines" appear on the monitor.

[@bynde8638]

@@MrJBARRON Actually you get used to it over time. I know quite some pro artists who don't paint on a monitor tablet. Fun fact: I had the best Wacom screen tablet on my desk ... did't like it, I sold it and replaced it with a regular Intuos Pro.

[@ZhifftNuxx]

Thank you so much, this is very informative

[@bynde8638]

Glad to hear it, mate.

[@mickeysimon3789]

Thank you for great tutorial. It's been very helpful. Quick question. I see your second greyscale tone is shadow. In some other tutorials I see people start drawing light path after they do silhouettes. Is there any difference whether you draw shadow or light first? Also, if my painting has kinda neutral lighting and foggy environment, do I also need to draw shadow or light path after silhouettes?

[@bynde8638]

There is no difference. I would recommend drawing first what you think is more important for the definition of the layer/object. Look at it this way: If you draw shadow first, that just means the silhouette is actually the lighter part and vice versa. To your second question ... you can always leave a silhouette just being a silhouette, but it needs to make sense with the rest of the lighting situation. Take care.

Thank you.

thank you great video !

[@Ema-bm7be]

From Arg. here. Too low pace video, but the content is good though. I hope dont't miss part 2, keep that algorithm flow mate. ⚡

[@c0sm1c-b0y]

what photoshop version is that one?

[@bynde8638]

Hey, I think it's the last version before the subscription model (~2016). I'm also running the new one at the office ... but as for this tutorial everything works the same and menu positions are also the same.

[@kioneart4901]

Do you plan to move from shitty Adobe to other programs like Affinity photo/designer?

[@bynde8638]

Every few years this question comes up. I don't plan to ... but I am open to trying alternatives. The closest I ever came was shifting to Clipstudio. They do a lot right and I had to use their Software when I was doing work for them.
