Painting an Anime Background in Photoshop

[@Vallonism]

My heart nearly stopped when you said "I spent nearly 15-20", and i thought you were about to say minutes. Thankfully it was hours. Beautiful artwork!

[@OlofStorm]

Thanks! First sketch to blocking in some shapes in colours might have taken 20 min. But painting takes time.

[@MultiKwolf]

when will there be a tutorial that actually teachs you something instead of showing off

[@Conceptsofsanket]

Its so stylised but also so realistic Idk what to say .... I like that you dont go for line art I just love it

[@brandonart267]

This is Anime Background

[@machidraws1]

its good to not do line art sometimes because you can stay more loose and change things as you go

[@flux1940]

the trick simply is: 1. realistic lighting 2. well controlled shapes and markmakings (not too small but blocky enough to keep it stylized) 3. slightly saturated colours 4. Lineart

[@lt.klutzy]

[@ravahkingss449]

Hi there olof sir. It's me from Instagram. It's like you created this lil tutorial for me. I was so happy when I saw this. Now I know the basics of painting. Thanks allot. 🙏🙏🙏

[@Cropsus]

[@Ellary_Rosewood]

You're such an inspiration to me as a fellow artist. I've learned so much from you and get excited every time you post something new! ❤️

[@gowthamrajp5691]

I am no way related to animation but I have a concept of Making one minute animation short film. I know Adobe illustrator a little bit, further help me to proceed to make my film. Anybody? Please?

[@kalasalad]

nice editing. i really enjoyed how you filmed where you got your inspiration and hearing your thought process.

[@OlofStorm]

Awesome! Thanks!

[@anthonyanaya849]

Ahh yes, just what I needed this Monday morning. Thanks Olof

[@MarschelArts]

Thank you for the walkthrough of this painting! Landscapes usually give me a hard time. From workflow to color choice, so seeing your process was very helpful!

[@snofixart]

Oh man this is so inspiring... I can get used to a daily videos!

[@jeffreypostma6832]

A wonderful look into your process, and a great end result. Thanks!

[@jackhunk1575]

It's very relaxing to see your tutorials and how you made very simple and easy. Lots of love bro thank you for sharing 😍

[@r_faisal]

that's your art make me excited again to paint background for my self project animation asset. Many thank's to you anyway. Good job.

[@StigToon]

I love how it was

[@derwynnamoah1310]

What brush did u use

[@icom8544]

Great video as always, how much time does it take in total to draw this masterpiece.

[@OlofStorm]

Thanks! I mentioned it in the video, but I spent somewhere between 15-20h on it

[@rag035]

Ohh my god I was waiting for this video for very very long time 😌

[@breenalunalives]

I mostly paint characters, but I really want to get into painting environments! I have such a hard time knowing what to do and how to do it, this process was so nice to watch, thank you!

[@aayushkatoch7323]

Please breakdown *mappa* and *ufotable* animation style please 🙏🏻 🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@pillowzzzbox3466]

Do u have any books I could study on perspective? I’ve look at a lot of tutorials on here and nothing is clicking for me. Just like to make sure my paintings or sketches are not off and give them some depth. Lately I’ve just been free hand because I don’t get ( have never got) that horizon line 1,2,3 point perspective stuff . 🤷🏽‍♀️

[@OokileyGMR]

What an underrated channel, you deserve way more views than this. Keep up the excellent work man, it inspires many artists out there like me ^~^

[@khoneyemadarbozorge8632]

[@amdiata]

[@worldsofpivotify]

This is so amazing, your work is always very inspiring, keep it up

[@titanoboaoficial2014]

INSANEEEEE

[@MohammadmahdiDordizadeh]

so nice...what is your brush name in this video?

[@tommullinerart]

I love your videos, Olaf - truly inspirational. As with so many people, I'd love to make my own feature film one day but budget prevents me from proceeding with it. However, making an animation instead IS doable and you've shown us the way. Thank you. One thing I noticed from this video is how much time is taken sampling/changing the colours of your brushes. An idea that might help people speed up the process a bit more is to create a palette swatch on and an extended area off the side of your canvas - they don't have to be individual colour swatches, they can be ribbons of colour/value that you can sample from using the colour picker tool.

[@jomelcadiz1295]

I like to paint,anime background.

[@ruderixy5722]

Is their a similar brush u used at the beginning i can download in clip studio assets?

[@rohanmane8005]

Which drawing tablet you used for work ......plzzzzz reply 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@OlofStorm]

Wacom critique pro 24 inch. But have used smaller cintiques and non display tablets throughout my career.

[@Fikdo]

[@juujuugirl]

[@Shakibalhasan-vc8lt]

Could you please tell me '' which software was used to draw this picture???

[@OlofStorm]

Photoshop

[@treeghost45]

[@LuluaHajOmar]

Great video, very nice style

[@alexlakota3598]

Thank you for the video ^^

[@JasonCharlesButkiewicz]

Beautiful work man!

[@daniellieske]

I really enjoy your channel but observing how you travel to the color swatch on the far left side of the screen each and every time you choose a color REALLY triggers me. You can just use the color palette, set it to "Hue Cube" or "Color Wheel" and just have it open all the time. You can even place it close to your canvas so that you don't waste so much time and energy for just picking a color.

[@switch9775]

Beautiful Olof! Just *BEAUTIFUL* !!

[@OlofStorm]

Thanks!

[@Premsungoh]

can I have those brushes that used on this content ?

[@OlofStorm]

Here I used Dave Greco's brush set. (DG-main and DG-under). You can buy it from his Gumroad for a few dollars.

[@courtneychross868]

Lovely

[@savepolarbears7725]

does photoshop have those kinds of brushes already or do i need to get them from somewhere?

[@OlofStorm]

The two I was using here are Dave Grecos brushes. Which you can get from his gumroad for 3 dollars. But you can make your own ps brushes too. And there are many free packs out there I am sure.

[@caloyanimation9155]

wow,,

[@mr.lonely947]

Good work buddy thanks

[@MrNathanGomez]

Yes I agree strongly-I hate doing backgrounds…but this is a style I’ve long awaited to learn! Thank you for this, it will definitely improve my own process

[@Sri_-T]

My eyes got bounced when you said "15 to 20 hours to Complete This " Damn... I can't paint like this

[@seolong3326]

Super snyggt, bra jobbat!

[@topcat5233]

5:52 bro just casually called sleeping in a van "camping in the wild" lol. but great vid!

[@Kaleboomskits]

What drawing pad is that?

[@tompollockjr144]

Great painting. Gonna use it as a background in your animated movie?

[@OlofStorm]

Thanks! I think this one is just a standalone one.

[@MyAkikan]

WOW incredible !! i love this artwork ! and your reference picture wasnt used at final ? i was just to keep the moment in mind ? crazy job !!

[@August-gb4kx]

Wow sir ❤️👍🏿

[@blueboy284]

This video is so calming and I'm loving this format!

[@OlofStorm]

Thanks! Glad to hear it!

[@orpheus6398]

Ey it would we would be really cool if you can make a video about finishing a whole painting. I don't have a problem painting trees or boxes or roofs but I can't paint a whole thing. And another one would be how to find references. Your videos are amazing man!

[@jebinjames9593]

Awesome man.....

[@Aldemir86]

Olof, If I may sugest you can open the color window (F6) and chage it´s mode to HSB will help a lot for choosing your colors. and to text your values faster, you can set Color Prof Setup > Custom > Working Grey and use Ctrl+Y to alternate btwen color and b&w. :D

[@dasaggropop1244]

my favourite thing to paint is start without any concrete idea and then fill everything with details. clutter. stuff. can be a room, a machine, a castle, forest or a spaceship.doesnt really matter.

[@Perfect_Creation]

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟❤️ 🇮🇳

[@goomba478]

This is a fantastic video! I'm curious what resolution or canvas size you work with for a painting like this? I never know where to start with that. Thanks!

[@lovtira6877]

this is really amazing!

[@anonymoussloth6687]

if you spent 15 to 20 hrs on this, then how long do movies like your name take where each frame is literally a wallpaper

[@looseboxer]

Looks so beautiful. So talented

[@MADARA-pv6rq]

Brush?

[@orpheus6398]

Great vid man! Can you please make a video about painting foliage. U paint them really lovely! Well balanced like the shapes are really amazing! This is like my fifth time here on this video haha

I think we all do :)

[@rathodmukendra8924]

[@jippee1]

It gives me anxiety that you dont have a shortcut for color picker and have to manually select the button on the left

[@PhotographyAdventure]

Amazing, as always!

[@aylahoepner1197]

Very helpful video. I love your style and your approach to making the piece.

[@spacekantor]

Hopefully I can draw digital painting as this piece of art.
