Iceberg: Complete Digital Painting Process

[@SwordTune]

I never would have thought to use a rough brush and then stretch it, alpha lock it, and use it for the highlights of a distant background. It's so simple and clear but so effective.

[@damienwalker7856]

Did you just used a silhouette of a guy holding a giant sword as a brush to paint clouds..? My goodness you're wild.

[@OfficialLuxs]

That’s Cloud Strife, so it only makes sense.

That's the 3rd video I see of your work, the 2 first ones from 2017. this one's really up-levelled ! I love the light effect on the ice ! Good job, you got a new follower, it's truly inspiring.

[@JordanGrimmer]

Thank you! Appreciate it alot :)

[@senhajimohamed7111]

It's amazing concept art pro artist man tank you very match

[@krizalide1]

I never realized how color range selection could be so powerful, I'll have to use it more often.

[@FelipeDiogoKun]

holy shit mate, your artwork is amazing

[@Uhrensohn6669]

I am a great fan of your art.

[@KERDYftVADOR]

This is the most beautiful artwork I ever seen in My Life, crazy

[@mesmeleon3465]

Absolutely love how you start so simple and turn that into a masterpiece...learned a lot from you..... Also, can you share the specifications of the system you are working on? Thanks in advance.

[@NerodiPece]

I love that spongy brush

[@mikavey]

Amazing.

[@libby2527]

all those layers would give me a meltdown

[@deva_play29]

This is one of my favourites of you, keep it going

[@JordanGrimmer]

Thank you!

[@tessagenietsart3573]

Oh my God, this is magnificent! The whole composition and lighting, you gave me alot of inspiration. Thank you! Don't stop sharing!

[@Aifunart]

Amazing...

[@TheScottGordon]

Hey Jordan! As always, great work. Could you or do you have a video on how you structure your work when working for a company. For example, organisation of layers, etc so that you may go back and make changes rather than having to redo large parts of the artwork.

[@Serbertim]

absolutely perfect

[@plok9967]

The paintings are very good

[@JordanGrimmer]

Thank you!

[@JaySnowMusic]

your work is fantastic and the song choices are a perfect match!

[@b0h0c]

Masterpiece!

[@skshihab4320]

What type of brush do you use in your digital art? Plz give me this brushes preset.very much useful for me. Plz

[@wiksaart]

I just can't stop watching ;___; even if it's almost 4 am here.. It's sooo beautiful

Amazing!

[@Alice__23]

Simply awesome! 😍😍👏

[@auroraart7273]

Hi Jordan I have a question about using reference pictures. When you use the reference do you usually colour pick the reference and apply it to your artwork? You are my inspiration btw. Thanks!

[@JordanGrimmer]

Hey! Thank you for the kind words. No, when I'm painting from reference I don't colour pick, I try to find my colours by eye.

[@samsonraj6500]

We need these brushes!!! I'm struggling!!!!! 😞😢😢😓

[@Cvapora]

where do you get those shapes from? If you could link me for a download or how to make them, that would be great thanks

[@jonathanedberts]

uuh what brush di you use to paint the iceberg ? im quite new to clip studio paint :///

[@tomtoons]

WHO DISLIKED THIS? Come back and fix it! Too good and enjoyable :)

[@abdulbasitdalvi3963]

wow beautiful. not only is it beautiful to look at but it also elicits a cold refreshing feeling for me at least XD

[@totoro013]

How did you pick the color? so article.

[@Deflexis]

just finished playing KSP for like 5 hours and came here, now I am reminded of KSP again with this song 😂

[@TheRunnico]

Beautiful work!

[@martinkent_]

I feel like color is the main element to achieving photorealism.

[@yenshuliao1524]

Wait, you can cycle through brushes without browsing the brush menu?

[@MrLugia100]

It's amazing, so much talent!

[@Columbus666]

Hello Jordan, can-you share your setup ? (Tablet Wacom ?) and what do you recommend in size for illustrated ? I work with an iPad Pro with ProCreat, it's an amazing combo but for a professional work i prefer Photoshop (to take easy a photo or texture etc.) Great job !

[@kovex-pulthul]

great vid, had to turn off the music cause it gave me ptsd from Mount Gagazet

Hi, where i can get your custom shapes?

[@halicusnguyen8864]

DAMN this is beautiful

[@beruangloncat]

How did you get inspiration from? sometimes It's quite intimidating to see the blank space to draw at the very first step.

[@CaloreGiovanni]

Awesome bro

[@TheArgoo]

can u tell me what brush u use pls, why u donts put in description pls

[@i-gotchu-fam]

Really great stuff as usual sir Jordan. I just want to ask some questions if it's not much trouble, so uhm, how do you find the right blend of colors for a specific piece? Do you like have a palette ready already, are you using a reference or is it all like hit or miss kind of thing? Really love these videos of yours. Thanks a lot! :)

[@JordanGrimmer]

Hey! I always use reference for something like this, there's no other way I'd know how to paint it if not! It's always wise to use reference if you want something to look "right".

[@i-gotchu-fam]

Thanks a lot for answering. Cheers!

[@phul_the_adventurer]

Can i buy the music?

[@ebenschumacher4125]

So many layers... how do you not get lost? Or simply overwhelmed?

[@blueperseverance3912]

To be honest, I'm not really a fan of this way of painting but I can see that the results are quite astounding ... Good job Jordan, keep it up!

[@SagarAcharya247]

sir I follow your every video. they are just amazing. I am beginning with illustration and concept art. Can you please make a complete tutorial video on how you make shading and use a brush. also how to make a color choice. and last, do you do it with a mouse or you use a stylus?

[@bicnarok]

friggin hell all them layers, I might start using them :)

[@ggpz8975]

Hi! I am an interactive media major student who wants to do landscape design as a job. Could you pls tell me do you practice when you are relatively skilled somehow?

[@ggpz8975]

Sry misspelling there. What do you practice at that level?

[@YoshiftOfficiel]

i love it !

[@Charly_Chive]

Damn Nicely done!

[@thenuptse8827]

Hi Jordan. I’ve watched a few of your videos now and I’m well impressed. Don’t know much about digital painting. Just curious as to why you regularly flip the canvas horizontally?

[@JordanGrimmer]

I flip the canvas to help me see whether there are problems with the composition, when you flip it you're essentially looking at it with fresh eyes and you tend to then find parts of it that don't look right! I do a bit too often so it's more of a habit than anything :)

[@thenuptse8827]

Jordan Grimmer Thanks Jordan. Great explanation. Makes sense when you think about it

[@pawansharma-xm8cz]

Can you provide brushes sets

[@Yeah-rh4lv]

on average how long do you make your artworks😊?

[@massimobivona_com]

One Like only for BGM. (Mount Gagazet FFX) But you're very good boy. Thanks.

[@Aniheartt]

May I ask what software is this on?

[@JordanGrimmer]

Photoshop :)

[@lauhpssus]

Your work is amazing! One question, Do you use reference images? I'm just beginning in this world and you are an inspiration for me :)

[@JordanGrimmer]

Thank you Laura! Yes, you should always use reference images, how else will we learn how to paint things realistically? :) Using reference effectively is a foundation of creating successful art.

[@lauhpssus]

@@JordanGrimmer Thank you very much!

[@dddart6133]

Very good sense, it's look better than realistic :D

[@thejakobistable]

where did you get the shapes from that you use at 5:05 for the iceberg or can you just create them yourself

[@lassebauer]

jakob law You can create (or copy) a shape and save it as a brush preset. Pretty simple😊👍🏼

[@wetojo]

Those aren't brushes. They're custom shapes. Search youtube for creating Custom Shapes and you'll find some good tutorials on the technique. It's really useful. I know Long Pham has a good tutorial for it.

[@ΓιώργοςΑλεξάκης-ι5ζ]

Can you please upload your brushes somewhere.I would even pay for it.I am a software engineer but I want to learn how to draw in my free time.

[@AhriOfAstora]

There are tons of free Brush-sets, especially on deviant art. You do not need them tho, photoshop has more than enough for begginners.

[@anaicardelus367]

there´s some cool ilustration in your song video :v

[@nathanyao3525]

I really like it I would call it more like a glacier tho since it looks like a fixed structure :V

[@sumeshkottiyoor]

Ps - which?

[@sdrchannel576]

You should have put a whale inside that iceberg, that would have been even more awesome than it already is :)

[@gserendipity]

bruh how

[@pranitmatkar7003]

Maybe you could make a patreon page.

[@smeyer2964]

All of the digital artists use more photo-shop than real painting, at least from what I can see from all of these videos. If you are interested in seeing digital art created on the computer with artist tools solely from the program 'PAINT'. Please send your email information. [e-mail]. I have been doing this now for about 15-20 years, since I purchased my first PC with office 2000 professional. The paintings (in the beginning) were crude, but I have managed to upgrade my online skills to almost match the skills level of excellent acrylic artists.

[@RubbinRobbin]

Digital painting tools are so cumbersome and fake. It’s high time the technologies gotten better for digital painters. Most programming efforts have instead gone into 3D. The fact that you have to use the lasso tool is the least enjoyable part of digital painting to achieve hard to soft edge transitions. To rely on dotted line as a mask feels like your doing graffiti on a wall instead of using an actual brush and yet we’re forced to do this technique to achieve desired results.

[@Paranoid1996]

Amazing!

[@JordanGrimmer]

Thank you!
