How to Paint Gloomy Environment Concept Art (Digital Painting Tutorial)

[@VictorStaris]

Thanks so much for watching! As always there is a free link with some of my most used brushes in the description!

[@Damian_DH]

victor can u made a free tutorial about explaning how to paint random objects like big columns made of rock whats the importance of brushes or if u can achieve such result with normal brushes, whats ur thought process not when ur blocking big shapes when ur focusing in certain objects im trying to understand how with big brush strokes u already get an awesome result while my paints doesnt really feel like details are well placed. Also thanks for these videos im trying to learn to draw landscapes but im having such a hard time.

Really beautiful work Victor. You are really masterful at creating mood and atmosphere with colors and brush work. Super expressive and alive but still very representative and authentic. Nice balance!

Nice seeing you again Stefan, thanks for your support!

Really cool concept, Victor! For me, it is hard when drawing a character at this scale. I am always tempted to zoom in too much and work on the details. You conveyed so much emotion with a few brush strokes and the posing, very impressive!

[@VictorStaris]

Hey queldar, thank you so much! It's really great you are noticing these nuances, and yeah its hard sometimes, I have to constantly remind myself about brush economy and simplicity in design. When I notice that I scribble too much without purpose in one spot, I might track back or just delete that layer and start again. Thanks again for stopping by

Another great painting Victor! I really love the subtle colour tones and how you managed to make the character look so detailed without going in too much!

[@VictorStaris]

Hey AVG how's it going! Thank you, I am trying to get colour variation whenever I can, and sort of add more interest to the image. I think the key to being economical with brushstrokes but also be able to add details, is paying attention to the planes, I have to practice more and intentionally think about this during the painting though. Studying the Asaro head with it's planes should help I guess. If you can describe the planes correctly then most of the work is done.

wow i found a hidden gem, and i already have a feeling that you will be big one day :)

[@rashaghosn6391]

I find your tutorials and draw with mes very useful! I was wondering about something! I find it hard to pick what colors to use to create my digital paintings. I find it easier to do with oils, but i would love to hear your thought process on how to. Choose those colors! I love your videos! And i enjoy watching till the last minute!

Awesome and always great to see your work Victor! Appreciate your time and efforts in sharing your knowledge!

Hey man, thanks for your support! Nice seeing you here!

[@marymod5611]

I like your style and the way you explain. Thanks for videos

[@VictorStaris]

Thank you so much Marymod! Glad you found them helpful

[@nicolesvariouswares]

Fantastic as always!

[@Daniel-Strain]

In doing concept work I find it hard to know when to stop with the detail. How do you know how much refining is too much? The client would no doubt love to see a photo-realistic image every time. Thanks.

Hi, what tablet are you using?

[@TheCovenant2]

Awesome as always! :3 What canvas sizes do you use in Photoshop if I may ask? Which sizes for which purpose like.. Portrait, Environment and so on

[@premkrishnasingh2032]

Would it be possible a tutorial on how to paint a city(skyscrapers) landscape or night city? Because I'm struggling a lot with that and i can't seams to find any tutorials

[@VictorStaris]

Hey Mr Whitey, thanks for watching! Sure thing, I will try to combine some city environments with some perspective tips in some future videos!
