How to Paint METAL and Reflective Textures - Digital Art Tutorial

[@Sammysapphira]

Wow.. this is incredible. I've been struggling with metal (armor and the like) for a while, going to grind out some studies with all these tips in mind. I really wish there were more technical art tutorials like this around, so many just feel like "draw it gud, dummy"

[@XabioArts]

Your tutorials are very helpful

[@ArtbyGalen]

[@marsburgos3385]

[@stonehead4775]

[@fabersoul_beats]

thanks very easy to learn from you, a lot of people are skilled but don't know how to teach others those skills

[@krzysztofsowinski3726]

I'm strugling to create metallic textures in Krita. Not sure that, this is going to solve my problem, but definatelly I got few important insights how light works. Thanks.

[@jasonbesant4074]

This is really useful, thank you

[@aleksandralaucuka3776]

7:58 what??? All this time it was as easy as that?? O.O

[@陈厚成]

How do you adjust the color? I mean what happens when the light and shade of an object is painted, what happens when the cold light hits a warm object, and what happens when the light hits an object with different saturation. If you can, I hope to record a video and say thank you in detail

[@eden-zf7hv]

nice questions!

[@goddkilly1787]

pretty useful, thanks

[@user-ot4vs1mg2o]

Thank you sir!

[@leigh-annh2544]

Thank you. Very helpful.

[@michaelmirraministry8834]

How did you stay in the lines so easily when you colored the cylinders? Was it some kind of masking?

[@ArtbyGalen]

Clipping Mask - here's a quick tutorial on using them kzbin.info/www/bejne/aX_KoISAbtSVnrM

[@michaelmirraministry8834]

Art by Galen this is great 👍🏼 thanks 🙏🏼 for ministering to my need!

[@ImmortalPancakes69]

Is there anywhere I can download the brush you used in this video please?

[@Ellievenn]

Wow.... this is awesome. Thank you!!! Do you have online classes?

[@ArtbyGalen]

I don't currently have any full classes published, but I am working on them. They just take a long time to make. On this channel, I'm currently doing a series on making your own comic books. Aside from this channel, I have a podcast called Art Tangents and I have my patreon. Thanks so much for your comment! Glad you liked the video.

[@cycy3634]

thank you

[@Ryuondo]

How would you do concave surfaces?

[@hanhoang7883]

What brush do you use

[@stephensharma5275]

I have a robotic character i might use these tips to color my character

[@Izzy-gh5fv]

broooo this is nuts the pipe fucked me up thank you so much this is so helpful

[@goldengoodra2941]

The pipe was very helpful, but going into the timelapse on the armor plate kinda made it hard to understand that section of the video

[@spoopygang5025]

Can you show us some tips on paper plz

[@ArtbyGalen]

Srdjan Krstanovic it's essentially the same principles when drawing on paper. I might do some traditional tutorials on the future, though.

[@spoopygang5025]

Art by Galen thanks man, i have drew for around 8 years but now i feel like my drawings are going nowhere

[@1dolan170]

hey how can I do that 7:09 it's a perfect line

[@ArtbyGalen]

in photoshop, if you hold shift while drawing a line horizontally or vertically it will make it a "perfect" line. Same works for erasers & many other tools in photoshop!

[@1dolan170]

@@ArtbyGalen ty bro

[@emberd-l795]

Is gold glossy or reflective?

[@ArtbyGalen]

It depends on how polished the metal is. Could be both. Could also be dull.

[@AlijiEnes]

Give me back my 15 minutes. Okay the tutorial was good, but why not finish it and make it all smooth. I wanna learn the whole thing!

[@stonehead4775]

Metals are not always smooth
