I relate too much to this...

[@haroldstevens54]

You're approach to painting is so exact to my approach to writing music! I've watched so many videos, all suggesting line art of the final image as the starting point. You stress that the "fuzzy mental image" is the most important throughout the process...and I think THAT is a really great artistic technique that becomes lost in commercialized art and teaching practices. Thanks for your awesome insight into art!

[@MangoMang]

Your whole thing about silhouettes explains my last few years of frustration with realism in digital painting. I've used pens on paper for most of my life so I've began with silhouettes and worked inwards with them all. Thanks so much for the insight, I'm gonna go try out your technique now, I'd say with practice this is an amazing & powerful technique. Big ups! Big love!

[@TheDreamSyndicateArts]

+Borodante Man, I'm looking forward to binging on your content when I'm doing some more digital painting experimenting (most of my work's done through sculpting and crafting)- whenever I let paintings get soft, squishy edges, I've often felt like I've jumped out of a plane without a parachute! One way I could imagine forcing yourself to have blurred vision would be to create a Gausian Blur layer and you could gradually decrease it's opacity as the picture progresses.

[@sathikraj]

How is the progress. Need an update. Did this help you?

[@BilSchimchelevitz]

so after a year of practicing, how did it go?

[@zorrunamenteinefables5702]

WOW... everything i wanted to learn over YEARS of lookng trough books and tutorials. How does those guys make their speedpaintings? what IS THE PROCESS behind it all! NO ONE IN THE ENTIRE INTERNET TEACH ABOUT IT! Its like a non-spoken law, but woah... I mean, I was like in a constant state of frustration, always tied to the god damn figures but oh god how good it feels to have this knowledge, Also! you explain the difference between drawing and PAINTING! you put it all in perspective and oh god so clear!!! possibly the most important video about painting i have EVER seen in my life, no jokes. Thanks so much from my hearth, this will change EVERYTHING as an artist to me.

[@bobbyrebholz2183]

Confidence is silent, insecurity is loud...and we can definitely find all of the insecurities from the rude comments in this section. Thank you Borodante for a good tutorial. I guess some people are still too stubborn to realize they're not at a professional level yet and can''t seem to find out why they can't get work.

[@Mountainair2975]

So basically, paint from large brush to small brush. I see

"Don't paint on a canvas! Never paint on a canvas! Ever, at all. In the beginning or in the end, you're never painting on a canvas. You're painting on 3D objects that you want to find." Profound. Love it.

I think I've said this before, but you're smile is contagious. And you're honestly my favorite KZbinr at the moment, your content is really top quality and I can't wait until you get super famous. (because you will) Keep up the good work dude!

[@harrysanders818]

Watching this about 2-3years later(don't really remember), with more practice and gained knowledge, I can finally understand more whats going on here. What a supernice compressed and to the point walkthrough of a painting process. Every bit of commentary makes total sense and is so well thought out. Glad I came back. It really tightens my understanding, again. So thankful for all your stuff, such well made videos, delightful to watch.

[@JimShadyUK]

This is the video you've been looking for, fellow amateur artists. I've watched loads of videos looking to learn from professionals, and this is the first one where I noticed instant improvement afterwards. The principal of starting simply and adding detail is the same, except you begin with thick lines and chip away at them. When you're refining, it feels like tracing - except it's your own "drawing" that you're tracing. I don't know if that makes sense, but please give it a try.

[@thechoseone456]

Three years later I will look back on this video with fondness as the video that started it all by teaching me about the search. Thank you friend.

[@angelaluo3365]

[@Stupfell]

This is what nobody tells how to start painting. Start from very big spots and then come down short slowly to fine details. Excellent job man.

[@lauraestep8753]

this is actually brilliant, ive been struggling to paint for quite a while but im gonna try this, hopefully it'll help me get out of "drawing mode" and into "painting mode"

[@Melodymist]

i'm not sure how I can get that kind of brush effect on clip studio paint (randomizing colors). Does anyone know how you can do that?

[@marielkschen1495]

This is such a good new way to create a character or a scene! I always start sketching and outlining everything, but when it comes to coloring, I struggle a lot with it. thank you!!!

[@NBDYSPCL]

This is by far my favourite digital art video.

You are by far the most entertaining art youtuber in operation! I love to watch you paint and you make me laugh out loud at least once an episode. Keep it up guy, you slay me.

[@samirchambela2252]

I know the video is old by now and you probably won't read this. I just want you to know that it helped me a lot and I appreciate what you do.

[@PiNPOiNT2K]

I love that you take a different approach to digital drawing compared to the other million youtube videos out there! Thank you for approaching it uniquely!

[@rowannieuport3942]

Oh wow--i've had a block about drawing and painting for some years, but all the things you explained were exactly what i had been doing--blurring my vision, discovering, all that! I found you from your Krita videos, i am now getting back into painting and this is so liberating. Your videos are excellent, i thank you.

[@TheMasterOfTheFrets]

I actually discovered this in drawing class. we were using charcoal and i was like I need to cover a lot of space. so i got a broad piece and then just a refining process.

[@thecreativepanda2925]

Mate! because of you i found what way i really enjoy painting. Other artists really like to make digital art look difficult, when it's not rly. Just by watching and finding out all about what you talked about i feel like i can finally paint, and i found out how to go about painting in PS. Thanks a lot! I followed this tutorial and painted something i could never imagine to paint. You're the best!

[@rickymcdaniel6305]

great way to help out artist ive just recently gotten into digital but use it to clean up my oil and acrylic painting to have a mixed media style

[@mattkaz9604]

This is really good. Rather than just being technical details about the software, or being purely theoretical, its a great mix of both. Highly impressive stuff, thank you.

[@noahtell1314]

This is great! From my own theoretical paint journey, I've started to approach something similar to this strategy, but this video just really put all the good aspects I've found together in a more sensible way!

Jus found your channel today and watched your tutorials all day long having a lot of fun and learned a lot of new stuff as well as got some pretty bright refreshers. Jus wanted to say thanks for doing what your doing. It's an amazingly valuable channel. I'm an aspiring 3d game artist and frequently looking into paint stuff for improving theoretically and practically. Your channel is a gold mine. Thanks from the heart for your efforts.

[@gettingintrospective]

I couldn't even wait until the end of this video to post this. I paused it, of course, because I NEED to listen to you. I'm too excited to try painting like this to even wait. Thank you!

[@Shubham_Sinn]

OMG i have shuffled through a lot of videos and at the ended up being overwhelmed every single time, but you my man are amazing and i feel like i should try one out right now.... i am already a fan... and subscribing

[@shoukaiser]

Kind of mad that I learned more that was relevant to me and my art style and what I need to know to become a better painter than I actually did in the 6-8 classes I had in an art program stretching several years. Definitely subscribed and if there's more useful videos, will also hop on patreon because good teachers, good people, and good workers deserve money....even if I'm broke af for a few more days xD

[@carsonsharp2339]

Amazing. No artist I've encountered has given such good advice. You make a great since of things BORODANTE.

[@exhil_rate2796]

Hey there, hope you can respond. I am a big fan of WLOP and really really admire the way he/she approaches a painting and it's similar to what you explain in this video. But the thing I still struggle is making stuff 3d and still keeping it "Blurry" and simple with only a few strokes. Also I get confused with my lighting while trying out different colors. Can you give me any tips?

[@realdragon]

I'm using this method not to search what exactly I want to paint, because I have it in mind already, but how to paint it. I have clear image what I want to achieve but I'm not good enough to just translate it into canvas

[@dagoelius]

in other words- sculpting.

[@philsburydoboy]

This is how I always did my physical paintings, but have never been able to do digital ones! I am going to test this out later today!

[@bagoglass1]

Have you tried starting with soft round airbrush and eraser? Does it conform to the principles expounded? It's impossible to paint in silhouettes yet allows for massing.

[@SunilR25]

Wow you're a true GOD in what ur doing..And ur lessons are so wisely. It motivates me so deeply in a way where mine creativity just burst out! I shall follow you till the last drawing.. Hail to the Gods of Art!

[@VincentAdultmanbearpig]

What you're referring to is putting down a midtone to start, which you can add to (and subtract from). This is common in charcoal/graphite drawing, and with the added layers and effects provided in Photoshop, it allows for a very painterly style.

[@claudioleone2175]

Fantastic tutorial and tips sharing! You have the ability of explaining exactly what it needs to be explained for an artist to grow. Thanks!

[@chaplainamin9888]

really helpful mate i really like your videos keep up the good work .

how can I make the 3 tone brush that when blended makes the original color? can I download it?

man, you're doing great with the tutorials, I love it

[@jantoniolmartinez728]

You explain your process very clearly my friend. I´m gonna try it, practice and let you know how it went for me. Excellent video and fun too Thanks!

[@Your_Degenerate]

Along with blurring your vision you could also zoom out or look at the overview. I like the overview feature in many programs to keep track of the overall picture. You can spot mistakes with it.

[@BooksBrushesAndBalrogs]

So I understand the multicolor brush with color dynamics going for it, but I don't quite understand how he made the 'square blur' brush that blends everything together to one color. I turned off the spacing on the brush and all that but I'm not sure what other settings I would need to turn on. Also is the blur brush meant to be used with the regular paintbrush tool or like a blur, or smudge tool?

[@derkleineclemens]

wow I am amazed by this! such a cool and fluid process of painting

[@lurdo777]

Awesome vids man. Really great work. I went to the page to download the brushes, looking for the "searching brush but it said that the tpl file was not compatable. Can you give access to that blocky "searching" brush please? Thanks.

[@Bluelena001]

I started watching your video because of your talent and stayed because you're hilarious! I'll check all your other video's just because you're so entertaining (and talented ofcourse ^^)

[@robinvaauli]

Cool stuff. Any ideas on how to set up a shape sifting brush in procreate?

[@danishnajfi]

dude this is the greatest photoshop painting advice ever.

[@emeraldeelentertainment8988]

I don't know if this is an appropriate or related question to your painting workflow, but what do you think of artists who use 3D software to aid their art and paintings? How would you go about setting up a 3D scene to structure a painting?

[@blackoppsrage8470]

It's been 2 years and I still can't get that brush down

[@shizyninjarocks]

Very good! I like your philosophy about keeping loose.

[@SonnyBurnett2012]

i would love to see these brushes tips on this video but using krita

[@stephcohen]

This is great! I love how you explain things so thoroughly, its very important.

[@Blutz_Art]

Any good book recommendations for people extending their art knowledge into digital painting?

[@fivemeomedia]

as someone coming from line drawing getting down proper values is the hardest part for me. how do you know light and reflective light are hitting a certain area i heard you talk about planes before but i was wondering if you can elaborate some more on that?

[@MatthewSmith-zo9st]

this is great! I really appreciate and understand this...its a horrible habit to have to bog down into a section of an image and this stops me from doing that. I've been trying to figure out how to work this out in my head

[@ValuStudios]

Really cool tutorial. Looks messy in the beginning, but make total sense. I do it myself from times to times. Thanks for sharing 😊✌🏽

[@adisuazo1767]

And of course learn the basics of shading, spacing, proportions, and/or anatomy (based on what you create realistically) I'm probably missing a few learning basics, but I think this video actually will help me a lot in learning! Thanks!

[@megacorven]

Wow, fantastic video you opened my mental chakra, I've been struggling with my mind and how to get started in this digital technique and you've opened my brain, finally!!!, facilitating my existence with these luxury tips, you won a subscriber, and since you also use paintstorm, it is a tremendous tool. Greetings and thanks again!

[@lirasada6901]

do you have any good tutorials from brush making or how you blend things?

[@43En]

At first i was like ok i see, everything makes sense. I tried it a couple times (unsuccsesfully) and hen i was like "Oh... OOOOOHHHH". From over blending outline anime stuff to soft blended semi-realistic (as far as i can call it realistic) crisp shading, you really helped me a lot m8 : )

[@aamakuruu]

I've heard the tip about "flipping canvas" many times, but I'm too lazy to do it and you are the one who managed to convince me to set a hotkey for it, idk why. As for the tutorial, it literally made me feel like a god because everything is messy but still looks promising. My only complain is..., I'm not sure when to use the "correct" brush on your video, also when I downloaded your brush set (thanks!) it doesn't have the savage version so I had to edit it myself. I think this tech is not good for a newbie like me, this is better for more experienced artists who ready to break some rule. Though it really improves my painting because of the color dynamic. Also!! I rarely watch a tutorial video from start to finish, but this? I enjoyed every second of it!

[@jakub4781]

How to make brush like this? i cannot figure it out

[@moker1215]

Hey bro, is the same technique applicable to backgrounds? I would very much appreciate it if you could show how to do a background for let's say a cartoon or something. You would make my year :D

[@AndrewBzh]

Thanks for the lesson, man!

[@EpicSpence]

I'm trying to make this brush in Krita and I'm failing. is it possible?

are these brushes in the new updated brush set? ive used this technique before when i was high, its great but ye need the right brushes or else its hard

[@faunoram]

[@MasterSorez]

What im confused is how you turn it from a blob of messy colours into such smoothness at the end, I cant comprehend it ;_;

[@mattanubis3992]

Just keep iterating while using a smaller brush each time, working the details your brush size allows you to. Starting with a bigger size will keep you from detailing too soon.

[@petramatkovic4122]

Can you make a video about good painting programs?

[@ivettegarcia8930]

So.... this only works with digital medium or like oleos and acrilics right?? 😯😯

[@grymmjack]

Love it. Organic evolving and refining as we go. Great vid !

[@Trid3nt861]

yknow... drawing for these years (self taught) I must say that I have always used the block method or round method to do shapes and such. I have honestly never thought to let loose or to paint draw with messyness without worry. I think I at times use digital markers and put down messy lines, then later on I form a body with colors and shades. Only con is that Photoshop now is a rent-only program, so Maybe I can try this in Krita or something else

[@arup251]

wow great video @BORODANTE.very useful and well described

[@leomcgill4862]

How do u do that all on one layer! I'm always really tempted to add a new layer for shadows and lights

[@el_super_laser]

sooooooo quick question. before that, thanks for this and the other videos. How do you do stuff when you already have a pre-existing drawing you wanto to "paint" isntead of just "coloring" it.
