genshin impact - shenhe speedpaint (photoshop)

for the shenhe contest! i wasn't able to post this until now due to having half the recordings on my school laptop and half on my pc at home so this is a bit delayed compared to when i posted this pic on social media
its so hard out here... working a lot on con work recently & my classes are also getting to me a little LOL went to my classes off 3 hours of sleep after finishing this and i have to say it was not a great time
really happy with how this turned out, thank u to my beloved chum (bucketman666 on twitter) for all of the help and support

i love the colour palette! you should upload tutorials too, id love to learn from your art style

[@skradio]

Thank you! I've considered it since other people have asked before too but I'm not sure if I can explain things coherently enough for a tutorial to be useful haha

[@NOOB-ps8km]

0:15 Putting the shapes and colors before the sketch and lineart is such an interesting process.

[@skradio]

thank you! i'm someone who very easily gets lost in details so i do it in order to make sure im satisfied with the composition and general atmosphere of the colors before i commit to any lining/rendering etc that i would otherwise have to fix

[@ksvq2638]

HOLY MAMA THIS IS SO PRETTY 😍😍😍

[@skradio]

Thank you!

[@Schros_kitty]

Your method of sketching to produce movement in the piece is so unique and cool. I’ll have to try that.

[@skradio]

Thank you! i hope you have fun with it!

[@sres4]

Annddddd subscribed I love ur art sm, I watched ur Isolde speedpaint and you drew her so flippin majestic 😭💕

[@maria-oh3rs]

I literally just saw this illustration on twitter, it's so beautiful to look at !! Now I get to see the process,, thank you for your work :D

[@skradio]

Thank you for enjoying it!

[@reireiichi8980]

I haven't been able to draw in ages... but this speedpaint really made me want to pick up art again. Nice work! Great composition and technique. You have a perfect understanding of shapes and colors.

[@k4misia]

I really love watching speedpaints from photoshop cause it makes me feel that one day I will be at the same level xd great work

[@skradio]

its a difficult program to get used to and I still dont know or use a lot of the functions haha but I got used to it. Thank you!!

[@zsorz5760]

hello i have some question how to Rotate the image and switch sides. with shortcut key please answer thankyou

[@skradio]

The rotate shortcut is R! I assigned flip horizontal to a shortcut by myself. You can reassign it in the keyboard settings , it should be under View > Flip horizontal (or something like that)

[@Fish_Blob]

absolutely gorgeous

[@skradio]

Thank you!!❤❤

[@nuratiqah_1246]

The art really beautipull sirr❤❤,,also the song very intense i feel like watching movie haha 😅😌✨

[@skradio]

Thank you!! That's true i honestly didn't listen to some of them the whole way through before adding them but it is suitably dramatic i guess haha

[@FasoleOliță]

Everytime I watch this I remember how trash my art skills are in comparison with yours.

[@Nikita-ox7ns]

I love ittt can you tell me your Photoshop canvas settings??. my lineart always looks so pixelated in Photoshop, so I feel maybe the canvas size or resolution I use is too little. or maybe the brushes itself is the problem, what brushes do you use 😅😅

[@skradio]

I think if you're experiencing pixelated lineart then yeah it's likely the canvas size you're using is too small, I draw so that I can use my art as prints later so this canvas specifically is 11x17 inches at 300 DPI :) for most things i just use the default round brushes but you can find a link to some of the other texture brushes i like here www.mediafire.com/file/w5runqwazq8t1lg/brushes.abr/file

[@Nikita-ox7ns]

@@skradio oh thank you!, looks like it was my canvas size after all. can you tell me the specific canvas size? i always just used 1000 x 1000 px

[@skradio]

@@Nikita-ox7ns its 11 x 17 inches at 300dpi, not too sure about the pixels but in photoshop and probably csp at least i use the option to create canvas based on inch size

[@litsee_]

omg I love it !

[@p0ssibly]

this is absolutely gorgeous omg. would it be alright if I did a study on this speedpaint? (not to post anywhere just to learn :)

[@skradio]

Please feel free!

[@p0ssibly]

@@skradio thank you! :)

[@YanfeiLove]

I am Japanese, so my English may be wrong.Sorry. I found you for the first time in the recommendation today.It's a really great work and I love it very much.I couldn't help but comment because it was my favorite style.I'm rooting for you!!🥲♡♡

[@skradio]

Thank you!! I'm honored by your comment!!

[@bintangyusufwicaksono0848]

can you make tutorial sometimes??

[@ジハ-u5k]

man,,,i wanna be this good someday, its always been my dream to be able to draw a full illustration with pretty bgs...what canvas resolution is the standard btw?

[@skradio]

Thank you!! I'm sure you can do it!! I don't know about standard, but I draw all of my art on 300dpi and at print sizes (8.5x11, 11x17,5x7 inches etc) in case I want to print them later

[@bokuto3987]

PLEASE DO AN IN DEPTH VIDEO OF HOW YOU COLOR DUDE I WOULD DEVOUR IT I LOVE YOUR COLORS

[@ayredie]

hi! please tell me which brushes you use, i will be very grateful🥹

[@laraolivi]

Everything looks so ..magic and gracious and beautiful 🤌🏻🤌🏻✨💕 BEAUTIFUL. Just BEAUTIFUL 🤌🏻😔💕✨

[@amala_khan]

выше всяких похвал👏👏 видела работу уже очень много раз, но смотреть на то, как она создаётся - отдельный вид искусства ❤ спасибо вам, это было просто волшебно!

[@skradio]

Спасибо!!

[@hirumaiya]

these photoshop users are built different

[@Idkmanitsaname]

Amazing art! What brushes do you use, if you don't mind me asking? They give such an interesting vibe to your artwork, including the lineart... I especially like the way the lines are thin yet angular, though I'm sure thats more about your technique and style rather than the brush!

[@skradio]

Thank you!! You can find some of them here: www.mediafire.com/file/w5runqwazq8t1lg/brushes.abr/file i didn't make them just edited them from other ones i had downloaded but sadly i dont remember where they were originally from anymore

[@layaa_laya]

2:27 what’s the brush did you use on this part? it seems very helpful 😅

[@skradio]

Oh it's just a separate layer set to "Stroke" in photoshop, but most programs should have a similar feature ("Fringe" layer effect in paint tool sai, "Border effect" on clip studio paint, I think)

[@thekrustykrab4312]

this needs more attention

[@basil6741]

is this what love feels like

[@drifornel]

i saw your post on reddit with the drawing and now this is recommended to me... I love this piece!

[@Rachael-]

That's amazing!

[@azenshio]

AAHHHH OH MY GOD IVE BEEN FOLLOWING YOU ON INSTA AND TWT I DIDNT KNOW YOU HAD A YT CHANNEL 😭😭❤❤ your shenhe piece is probably one of my favorite artworks ever so its super cool to see the process!! would love to see a tutorial from you on how you color or how you do your process for your pieces! keep up the good work :]

[@skradio]

oh thank you so much for the support im so honored!! 😭🥹🥹 omg i never know how to plug my speedpaints and youtube and such because i feel like links are hard to share / get visible on both platforms jsjkdng i'll def think about a tutorial! im not very good at explaining things though so ive been putting it off LOL

[@murasaki4352]

I love it 💕✨️ I wish to be like that or better

[@chozburstblader9032]

Still trying to learn anatomy. Your art is inspiring and reminding me to stick to the grind. Quick question do you have any advice on when you know you are good at anatomy

[@skradio]

Thank you! I don't think I would consider myself particularly good at anatomy but i think that as long as you're satisfied with your own art improvement then you're on the right track

[@crafteariee]

Your paintings look so lovely. This Shenhe piece turned out wonderfully!Thank you for sharing your process, Skradio! 💕

[@skradio]

Thank you for the kind words!!

[@Tarqota]

I mostly draw hentai and share it on my twitter account. I started playing genshin impact 2 days ago and I'm having a blast. I can already see myself drawing these characters for the rest of the year. Your video is gold, your process is very good. I hope I can reach this level to please my horny audience, haha.

[@RVUI]

[@copheehouse]

i came across this in recommended and wow I'm so glad I clicked on this! Love your style, this illustration is amazing!

[@bIuesided]

i was already very impressed but when you started rendering her ribbons and gold + the background i was like AYO??? as someone who watches a lot of speedpaints this is def one of my favs. the composition, colors, and rendering are everything fr, as a beginner in digital art i hope to be as skilled as this someday 🙏

[@pricillaanggraeni6609]

it overjoys me that there's still some photoshop users there, most people i found is now switching to procreate, or clip studio. I find your speedpaint very helpful knowing that some features can be used like so (stroke layer), but i am still confused, like the brush settings, it seems to me like you didn't use the transfer settings, so how do you usually blend colors? (i notice them at 5:17 ) thank you for being an inspiration!! 💌

[@skradio]

ohh yes I think it is quite rare to use photoshop now lol but personally it's just difficult for me to switch programs, I've tried several times to switch to CSP but i always go back lol.. for the brushes I actually "paint" with the maximum opacity isn't set to 100, so I just go over areas lightly and then color drop in-between colors as necessary

Jesus you're so damn good. You deserve more views
