How to Create Scorched Environments - Photoshop Manipulation Tutorial

[@martin_pryor2989]

I know that you normally don't do such videos but hands down, thats one of the best organized and explained tutorials for image manipulation I have ever seen! Not to complex for beginners and even good tips for intermediate users.

[@Jazza]

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed :)

[@dunas2662]

+Draw with Jazza You're Incredible, i have learned a lot from you, Thank you, Jazza!!

[@firedemon43]

+Draw with Jazza Thanks I've been working on a dystopian comic

[@bunnyinaboat]

We love you Jazza..

[@supernestoy656]

+Draw with Jazza it is very amazing !

[@Rourker]

Ctrl+Shift+Alt+E is a quick way to make a new flattened layer with everything that is visible in your Photoshop view port.

[@Jazza]

Oh my god. Sir, you may have just changed my life.

[@Rourker]

+Draw with Jazza haha, a bit of an overstatement I think but I'll take it. Keep up the good tutorials Jazza, you have taught me far more than one shortcut.

[@alexandrarose1351]

It might be really cool to see the opposite of this video! Like take a scorched picture and make it a utopia! Anyways loved the video Jazza!! It was really cool to see and very helpful!😋

[@jackiethegoldenjackal]

that's a great idea !!!

[@redeye998]

+Alexandra Rose That's impossible via only using photo manipulation. Maybe with photobashing and paintovers, but it would be better to create a new painting.

[@VerkesThiago]

You will not believe it: I'm doing design classes and my final work in photoshop (for two days from now) is just that. thx Jaz

[@loth8027]

Content creators such as you deserve so much more honestly I can't believe I'm getting all this education for free Thank you so much!

[@rexxypop8371]

There's nothing I love more about this video than the fact that he referred to Tassy as "a little islandy bit off of Australia" I'm dying xD

[@cosmosisproduction7038]

This is so beautifully put together. I only meant to skim through it but was completely absorbed.

[@isag4999]

Hey Jazza, been subscribed for a while now, I don't think I've ever commented on one of your videos - even though I enjoy them every single time. I just wanted to tell you, that I've learned so so much from watching you draw and paint. So keep up the good work and thank you for sharing your knowledge with us :)

[@joelmulder]

See, this is how you do a sponsored video!You actually make a good video, not just an ad!

[@MiguelMGMT]

Yes it is obviously sponsored but it is a interesting video and it is teaching you something for free. Sponsoring helps it stay free.

[@rand0msan1ty]

Thank you Jazza !! :) Another great tutorial, really nice to see you doing these photoshop manipulations... would love to see you do more ! :) Merry christmas!

[@anitageorgieva2031]

That's a great tutorial Jazza! I definitely will try it next week.

[@moonbaywalk]

Little little island that is Tasmania, such a gem.

[@lindacarroll9631]

Love your brushes! Everyone should get them!

[@Snicker433]

Nice image of the Hobart waterfront :) That looks amazing

[@ninjaduets5160]

Very helpful Jazza thank you! You're awesome

[@giannhsgiannhs3443]

RLY AWSOME. In some days i will have my first tablet i will try it for sure

[@laufeykristjansdottir2219]

THE SCORCH TRIALS!!! ❤️❤️

[@ErfMuck]

Really great to see an alternative video from you. I watched on my photo to add to my history so I could then revert to my xbox to re-watch but took me a while to find due to the different thumbnail. Found it eventually though Great video as usual.

[@McDudes]

This video needs to be much longer, like 1 hour or 5!

[@VXDRG]

Another way to non destructively dodge and burn is by making a new layer then adding a 50% gray fill and then changing the blending mode to soft light. Dodge and Burn that and it works like a charm :D

[@NiceAizu]

photoshop is so cool!!! its amazing all the thing that you can do with it! great tutorial!!! :)

[@bluetiger.09]

jazza your amazing you have really inspired me to draw thank you so much

[@OskarFFS]

oh i love the maze runners so much

[@dmytrotkachov6859]

Jazza the photoshop desolator :) Nice video, btw)

[@denimsweatervest]

Cool tutorial, easy to follow. Thanks

[@gsamalot]

I kind of have a question you can do a desert kind of wasteland but what about a more forest kind of feel. I mean like citys covered in nature trying to take over the large buildings with crack roads,windows paint or bits of building coming off, with old cars rotting away on the roads.

[@FranAppl]

It is the exact same method, just using stuff like trees, vines and moss instead of sand.

[@gsamalot]

Edijs Helmanis okay thanks ^^

[@marcusstringer]

That's an awesome tutorial, thanks for that. :D

[@annac6685]

Using google images is usually a bad idea, quite a few of the images are under copyright protection laws and you could get in legal trouble for using them in commercial work or any kind. There are a lot of stock image sites that are made for this sort of thing though, just make sure to check the rules of the individual photos.

[@icalnafi695]

Yay youre back

[@skibumreno8942]

Excellent video, wished it was much longer. I'm new to this and was going to pick up the WACOM CTL671. Is this a good set up to get started in the right direction with what you just did?

[@hunter11945]

more photoshop stuff plz :D also you were awesome on the sleepcast podcast

[@6riffmaster]

More of this please!

[@gems8857]

amazing tutorial 😍

[@MrBuffipulsa]

+Draw with Jazza More of this please and thank you :)

[@JanaKrejciOfficial]

WOWW ! i got realy thirsty watching this tutorial :)

[@DexterDLopez]

This is awesome. Could you use the same techniques used here and make a futuristic city instead?

[@jobunny]

Since you've done this, can you PLEASE do a video talking about backgrounds .

[@timbarzallo6322]

do more! i love this!

[@modderman2856]

Ty sm jazza

[@DigitalSwagg]

Is there anything you can't do! Loved it!

[@tuccernuccer7325]

Hey, sorry im pretty new to all this sort of stuff, but even if i manipulate pictures and use them as overlay textures and whatever for game art and stuff, i presume it would still need to be like royalty free stuff or the appropriate referencing yeah?

[@NICK43000]

Jazza can you show how to make realistic backgrounds created by my self? :) And what is your opinion about Gimp? :)

[@blipblop47]

You are Awesome!!!!

[@mirilizeth4945]

Hi Jazza, By any chance do you know how to fix old photograph in Photoshop?

[@marclopez9287]

Always wondered how you record your vids. Do you do a post voice over or do it in real time. Great job as always!

[@Jazza]

Actually for a video like this, i do a rough edit then write a script that explains the process following the narrative of the edit, then i record the audio speaking the script at my own pace, then i refine the edit to line up with my voice recording.

[@marclopez9287]

+Draw with Jazza Thanks man, I really appreciate the reply. Always wondered about that. Kind of want to do something smiler in the future. Great insight to how much work you really put into all of these vids. Thanks again and keep on keeping on.

[@soroushm9820]

i love your videoes man

[@winkil1]

Was the "after" image low resolution intentional? because i felt that some parts of it was blurry/pixelated.

[@Arkias]

Hey there, I have a question for you drawers (especially beginners) on how to get started... I know that you need to practice but I want a schedule to be more clean instead of trying things out (which mostly leads to a bunch of scrables). So how do you guys get started with drawing? Do you start with drawing figures to items ot something? I want to hear you guys beginning experience of drawing that I might trying out :).

[@LienSmoczyca]

Hey Jazza! I love your paintings and tutorials! I see you draw alot of human faces and body structures but... could you make any tutorial how to draw animal heads? Like dogs or wild cats.I like to draw animals. I've got no problems with body, but drawing head is a nightmare for me.

[@low2live]

Very nice

[@travisoke4683]

Would these techniques be applicable to Gimp?

[@JacobBradley00136]

yeah more of this

[@m8h795]

I can see this image being framed somewhere in MONA.

[@SuperJessica1224]

A bit of topic. But, tomorrow is my birthday and I have a choice between a digital tablet or a art kit with watercolor tubes and etc. I watercolor but I want a digital tablet at the same time. What should I get?

[@Jazza]

First off, happy birthday! Second... I'd choose the tablet - but that's me

[@SuperJessica1224]

+Draw with Jazza Thanks!

[@moritzbrustle124]

love it

[@fergusnorris6694]

That was from tassie I have been to that port (I live in Tasmania) that's just near Salamanca market

[@fergusnorris6694]

Edit: in the background you can see mount Wellington

[@linuxuser1234]

When I copy building using lasso tool it only copy the color not the buildings

[@azakana1432]

i am sooo trying this... :0

[@sasuke09871]

Great video, and i was wondering was, i found someone who entered art into the epic santa contest that they didnt create, what do i do about it?

[@Jazza]

+Heisenberg Shoot me an email through my contact section on my website jazzastudios.com with the details and Kate will get back to you. Make sure you add the links/proof as she can only remove them from the competition with clear proof. It is important to pick those things up.

[@fransende]

You make it look easy.. HOW?

[@negie78000]

+francisco chinchilla resende Experience, years of doing it. Stuff.

[@Aqwtiny]

+negie78000 Untrue , you just gotta sell your soul

[@negie78000]

CiscoLitco Oh my! One such as himself wouldn't dare o such a thing! But I'm just going purely based off the 10,000 hour rule. Perhaps 10,000+ hours.

[@bibekjaiswal4873]

"Google images is your friend..." until you grab someone else's art or copyrighted image, and completely rip them off.

[@IanDabre07]

you can filter your search

[@krisztianszirtes5414]

+Ian Dabre But let's be fair, who does that in your opinion or who does even know about copyright problems?

[@IanDabre07]

Krisztián Szirtes if your a well skilled or even a beginner to the photo-manipulation stuff than you should already know about this

[@empresspyra]

+Krisztián Szirtes There is an option in google image filters for "reuse with modification" and there are a number of good websites that have decent hd pictures that are public source. www.pixabay.com for instance. :) It's tricky but not impossible to navigate image sourcing

[@krisztianszirtes5414]

+Ian Dabre Well as you could guess I'm not home in photo modification, but all I was pointing out is that I have seen way too many people use copyrighted images without a word to the author.

[@crispybacon4240]

So was this sponsored by the scorch trials? I probably just missed it, but I didn't hear him outright state it was sponsored. Hey, maybe he just *really* liked the movie...

[@Jazza]

+Crispy Bacon yeah it was sponsored - I liked the movie, and the theme fit, and every now and then a fitting sponsored video is a big support :)

[@crispybacon4240]

Draw with Jazza Oh cool. The BluRay plug at the end should probably suffice, but in the future it couldn't hurt to outright say it is sponsored at the beginning - rather than "I liked it".

[@jRadio91]

Lol I've been there

[@zeronixthemaster2182]

[@sengkeavideos]

It is too fast for me. I am a beginner. Unlucky!

[@redeye998]

It's funny that when someone gets popular, their audience tends to go blind. I'm surprised no-one can realise this is a ridiculous product placement. I hate being that guy but, I didn't even bother with this video. I love you Jazza but this is 100% product placement and it has nothing to do with your expertise, and we can see that the result won't represent someone who has almost 500k subscribers. You could perform a landscape drawing/painting tutorial based on the movie, a character cartoonization or whatever else instead. There are experts on this theme like Howard Pinksy or BakaArts for strictly photo manipulation tutorials, and they are pretty damn good at what they do. Don't ruin your channel for some extra money...

[@Jazza]

+Alexander Raptakis I'm aware that sponsored content can be something that grates people, which is why I am very careful to not take everything that comes my way (and these days a lot comes my way), I reject a lot more than I get offered and when I do take on a sponsored video, I only do so if I feel the content fits well and if I honestly believe I WANT to make content that will help, educate or entertain my viewers. I'm sorry if you don't feel that way about this video, or all videos that get sponsored, but the reality is, ad revenue doesn't keep my son fed and clothed or pay my mortgage - not even close - so I do the best I can to create honest products that people can enjoy, and cooperate with brands that see the value in my content, all the while doing so with integrity being my highest priority. It's either that, or I pick up a day job and have less priority for my KZbin content and community. I hope you understand where I'm coming from, and know that I'm going about this in the best way I possibly can, and that being said, I take feedback like yours seriously. Thank you for sharing your thoughts.

[@redeye998]

+Draw with Jazza I never said that you shouldn't do sponsored videos, I know that KZbin has a ridiculous policy that hurts artists and especially animators. But I simply can't understand why you decided to go with a photo manipulation tutorial. Why, why, why?!? As I said before, you could easily go with a concept based on your expertise. Fan art, speedpaintings, cartoonization of the movie's characters, or even landscape concepts (in Jazza style of course), which by the way has an extremly high demand and will attract even more audience. It's not that I dislike your work, not at all. I am just very confused by your decision, because up until now, the quality of your content is really high, which means you have the ability to figure out if the results are good or bad. Anyway, I'm sorry for the negative energy. I hate it when I do it, but it's because I like you and I got used to your high quality content.

[@Jazza]

+Alexander Raptakis If you watch the actual video (which you said quite clearly you didn't bother to do) you'd notice there's a lot of manual painting, and techniques shared which are very helpful to illustrative uses in programs like photoshop. That being said, there are loads of videos on my channel (without sponsors) that are very different from my usual 'how to draw' style videos. Here's a few: kzbin.info/www/bejne/a6vXiJidqriHhbs kzbin.info/www/bejne/foe6dWeJac-XjpI kzbin.info/www/bejne/foOUZZaJoMh3o80 kzbin.info/www/bejne/n4KTgYmgqrmSpKs kzbin.info/www/bejne/jIqsgYRoa9mtqpY kzbin.info/www/bejne/ipKQgKGmqbqEidE kzbin.info/www/bejne/bmPNpmhqrrKpqpY kzbin.info/www/bejne/nGrEdqmondiXkKM There are loads more but I hope my point is coming across. This isn't a 'how to draw' youtube channel. It's a 'how to create art' channel, and sponsorship or no, I am very proud of how this video turned out and wouldn't have released it unless I felt 100% that it's the kind of video I would release without a brands backing. I'm willing to take your feedback on board, but I also hope you're willing to see that I woulld never EVER sacrifice the quality of my content for the sake of a buck. Once again, I appreciate your honesty and sharing your thoughts with me.

[@YesCh3f]

+Alexander Raptakis Wouldn't you have to watch the full video to be able to judge what the quality of it is? I personally liked this video because it has, for me, a more practical use.... I also think learning photo manipulation can come in handy in this day and age ;)
