I really appreciate the lack of speed painting in this video. He's showing that you really can achieve this effect in a matter of minutes tops and you can almost just carry along with the instruction without having to continuously pause and catch up like many other art tutorials.

[@marcusbrown7493]

I think painting textures is something that I (and many others I think) struggle with. Especially with how light might interact with those textures. So anything that helps with that is great! Hope you do more of these! 👍

You’re amazing! I used to airbrush paint with a tank back in the 80s…there was a big trend to do chrome back then. You make this look so easy!! Such talent. Thank you.

Hajime Sorayama pin ups are so cool, I have no doubts gynoids will be a thing in the future

[@broshbrolin2395]

I understand how to paint reflection is when i learn perspective, project the environment > warp perspective if the surface are curving > put higlight to indicate the surface

Loving it sir. Lots of love and blessings from India🇮🇳🇮🇳💓🇮🇳🇮🇳

[@Anonymous-cq5dl]

I wish you also showed us how to apply it to things like eyes, skin and more complex shapes😊

[@couchetart9733]

gonna watch this, it's always a pleasure to watch you working Aaron !

[@Soundguydan]

This is awesome! I love it. Could you do glowing objects sometime too? Thanks Aaron.

[@AaronBlaiseArt]

Dan great idea.

[@annavannoni]

Finally, I think I understand the process! Now on to the practice!

[@socialdining1496]

I have a simple video of how to do that in colour, maybe that cover some of your needs?

[@urbanEzio89]

I learned a lot from this video. Btw a clipping mask will prevent you from coloring outside of the lines

[@TheInkSideofThings]

From the thumbnail I thought those were actually real metal

[@eterno1610]

not really.

[@TheInkSideofThings]

@Mayo's Mayo as a matter of fact yeah I do

[@Bean-Machine]

Whats the physics behind that tint? For example for the blue sky light, what happens for it to turn red? I assumed reflections could only keep their color like they would in a mirror. Is there a name for that effect/attribute of reflective surfaces?

[@NostalgiaDigital]

Thanks for the Escher recomendation and tutorial, I really appreciate it

[@esonthomas3512]

Thank you for this great video!!! You’re a fantastic teacher. Liked and subbed

[@AaronBlaiseArt]

Awesome, thank you!

[@TwoelizAnimations]

This is quite helpful. Excellent work !

[@tolgayldz5711]

Create a sphere or something (it should be a block object like in this video). Create a new layer on top. Then hold the "ALT" key and place the cursor the edge in-between the two layers without clicking. You must see a weird symbol (something like ⤺) then click. Now, you're done. From now, when you are painting on the empty layer, it only will shown if you are painting in the borders of the layer underneath. It won't overflow. You're welcome.

Aaron Blaise is so good, that he doesn't need to use mask in photoshop😂

[@ZEBASS]

That's a really cool tutorial, thanks, Aaron! I do have a question, though: When you have a complex object made of several metallic parts, let's say... a coffee machine or whatever. It has a main structure, maybe a lid, some tubes here and there, different sections to it. What parts of the ouside world would each of them reflect? Do they all "repeat" the room on each separate metal surface? How/when do you set the limits on what surface reflects what? Maybe on each cut between different pieces of the object? I hope I'm making myself clear here, hahaha. Cheers!

[@visibletoallusersonyoutube5928]

I’m no artist and it’s two years late but I’d say try to envision yourself standing in front of a certain object in the room and ask yourself if you can see that part of the coffee machine or whatever. If not the object you are in front of PROBABLY shouldn’t be in your reflection because it’s light can’t even get there to begin with. It gets a lot more difficult when you start considering the perspective of the art and how it interacts with the contour or angle of the “coffee pot” Might be worth it to set up a mock scenery even if it’s aluminum foil and misc. objects to get an idea of what’s natural.ish

[@jovianarchitect7423]

Yayy, I've really missed these videos. Thanks!

[@socialdining1496]

I have a simple video of how to do that in colour, maybe that cover some of your needs?

[@margaretsmith9954]

Thank you for sharing Aaron 💖🇬🇧

[@ericwayne8185]

Hi Aaron. This seems a bit of a new direction. You're my favorite teacher, but I also would like to learn more about painting things like robots and cyborgs. Wonder if you could do one of your livestreams of a robot (not cartoony, but using metals, other materials, perhaps rust, chips, things like that). If not, no problem. I'm a premium member and have volumes of wonderful stuff to work through.

[@RapidBlindfolds]

If you have two chrome reflective objects pointing towards each other, which reflects which? Which is the reflector which is the reflected?

[@hayzmation5354]

This guys so good at art He’s the reason why I try making vids now

Great teacher! Thank you

[@denizarasli3209]

Hi, I need to work metal shading for my lesson

[@cheryladelmeyer8172]

What brush did you use for highlight? Airbrush? What if you don’t have one?

[@amarmurthy2783]

Excellent.. very creative it was

[@ambience46]

Wow, what a great video. I learned a lot! Thank you

[@Yukova]

Very helpful, thank you.

[@sporkspork8556]

it's so educational , thank you for uploading this.:)

[@anthnorm]

Great tutorial. Thanks. 😌🙏

[@soulshatterpwi2801]

Hey Aaron, how about when you do a free you tube demonstration like this how about making the original photoshop file available for download, so that people can take a closer hands-on look after watching? Love your channel

[@nochyj4006]

What if I want to add it color? What should I do if I want to paint a blue shiny armor?

[@TheMihig]

Hello Aaron, how about when those metalic objects are turned away from the light, for example in a sunset scene?

[@eterno1610]

would it be possible to create more videos on different materials ?

[@sponie2532]

Great tutorial!! Can you make one of Chrome at night?

[@jenesarudder6934]

First to comment :D watching on this

[@socialdining1496]

First to comment your comment ;.-) I have a simple video of how to do that in colour, maybe that cover some of your needs?

[@ToshiSalvino]

THANK YOU ENDLESSLY OH MY GOD

[@philwriedt3398]

Thank you, so many ideas to think about.... Wow.... However the Moon is always faces the same side toward the Earth. It takes 28 days to orbit the Earth and 28 day to turn on its axis.

[@yumaandlife]

i have art mock exam tmr wish me luck

[@pnartg]

I don't find these very convincing. They may be good enough for a sort of impressionistic-y style but the reflection still looks like it's painted ON to the spheres rather than reflecting FROM the spheres.

[@Ken5Masters]

Who the fuck dislikes this?

[@thegreats.t.g5063]

Very deceiving

[@mamadebenja3470]

Sir please stop breathing in my ear

[@Nayo68]

You should specify in the title of your videos, that it wont be a real painting. Computer generated images faking chrome.....something like that, so the people that really paint, dont waste their time in your channel. Best regards
