Amazing work I like the siloutte technique that you used.

Thank you!

This is amazing! the lightings and colors, the whole illustration it's just wow! I've just Subscribed to you!

Amazing work. Love the feel of the picture. Haven't used the text feature myself yet, but it's a great new feature. Again, great work)

[@TheChameleon2008]

Awesome, and amazing work! Love all the details and textures. I still have a long road to go but my aim is to get close to this someday (fingers crossed) :)

[@nikolailockertsen]

Thank you very much. Glad you like it. And just keep at it! Do a painting/sketch every day and you will see alot of progress every year!

[@nikolailockertsen]

@@rockcityaudios6580 Yes :-) in the beginning it is quicker. But getting really good takes time.

[@jadeyucan]

its so inspiring! you've def helped me find a proper workflow in procreate! i've had a hard time moving from photoshop and my shortcuts but thanks to you i'm finding my way around it! I'm wondering what you do with your lineart? Do you merge it with your layers (like wall) or do you keep it seperate?

[@nikolailockertsen]

@@jadeyucan Thank you. Happy to hear that :-) Have you started using QuickMenu yet. That is really a great replacement for shortcuts. Sometimes I keep my lineart, but most often when I want that more realistic look I merge it or just paint over it or erase it. Usually a combo.

[@RlrOfWorldzYT]

I had to find you after seeing the artwork included with procreate! You're by far my favorite digital artist. How long does it take to do a piece, on average?

[@nikolailockertsen]

@@RlrOfWorldzYT Thank you so much :-) Was this artwork in Procreate? Very glad you like my artwork. Usually it takes me 1-2 workdays to finish a piece.

[@stephenpotter6851]

Amazing Always look forward to ur creative mind Stevie

[@Bellaanddad1]

This is amazing, as is all of your work. Its quite inspiring. So much so that I've now gotten into digital art. I have many questions though haha

[@byronstoddard]

You are my new hero btw!

[@nikolailockertsen]

Hehe ☺️

[@elysesimpson3999]

This is amazing I love the colours. How did you do the checkered floor in procreate? Xo

[@nikolailockertsen]

Thank you. That is a checker brush I made. Painted just head on and transformed into perspective.

[@elysesimpson3999]

Nikolai Lockertsen wow that’s great. Do you have the brush for purchase or download anywhere? Xo

[@desertbloomke]

The illustration is nice✨️ I have a question, when you go from greyscale to color, do you use a multiply layer for color, or do you turn the greyscale on and off...or do you adjust saturation and hue levels?

[@nikolailockertsen]

Thank you. I often use Overlay on top for getting the color started. Then merge that Overlay layer to every individual layer. Then from there I will paint with regular color and also do a Curves adjustment on layers as I proceed.

[@desertbloomke]

@nikolailockertsen Ooh ok, thank you✨️

[@minpark7201]

I love that work.

[@LadyBug-ox8bg]

Nikolai - as someone new to painting in procreate (I have sketched a lot), which of your gumroad tutorials would be best to get me started? Thanks!

Holy damn, you are are such a good artist! I love your work.

[@Polytricity]

Nice, I see Terminator 2 - Judgement Day, Maybe Police Academy, Ghostbusters (Receptionist), Batman TDK - The clownmask and Garfield, the cat. I think thats all 5?

[@nikolailockertsen]

Very close. Not Police Academy or Garfield, other than that, spot on :-)

[@Polytricity]

@@nikolailockertsen hehe! Ace work though man, always an inspiring watch to see your workflow.

[@ChrisNygaard]

@@nikolailockertsen cat is from Alien, and how did you get high quality if you forgot settings?

[@greek42069]

What should i look up to learn how to draw in 2d and then force into perspective like how I did on floor?

[@nikolailockertsen]

If you want to forcensomething into perspective, you just use Transfor, tool. Set it to Distort, then you can move the corners freely...into any perspective you choose 👍

[@losenawikim8267]

I've tried and I still don't understand how to use layer. It's hard for me 😭

[@nikolailockertsen]

@@losenawikim8267 imagine layers as papers stacked on top of eachother, but perfectly transparent. You can have different parts of a full illustration on different layers. Like the background and a character is smart to have on seperate layers. That way you can adjust/transform just the character or cackground.

Woow, You must be cursed with some crazy sick drawing skill! 😯😱

[@yanelisortiz8112]

How do you push things into perspective?

[@MrTripletts]

I have a question Nikolai. I saw how you drew the face on the Hobarts poster flat and switched it to perspective as well as the lettering and the dirt on the ceiling and floor. Not sure how you did that? Is it a step you could share? Or do you know of a tutorial that explains this here on youtube? Beautiful work Sir..I love not only the art but the overall mood of your drawings is fantastic. Thank you for sharing.

[@greek42069]

Did u ever figure this out? Only thing I can think of is distort.

Hi nikko i almost bought your all tutorial and you said always keep it small. I have now I pad mini 5 and it’s very nice and portable doing sketches outdoor and exporting to my I pad pro to get more layers and doing details at home. Have you tried it? If not I strongly recommend for you.

It's great! This officer is similar to the T-1000. make his legs fused with the floor. secretary - the spitting image of Janine Melnitz from "Ghostbusters". the cat could be with a stump tail. it would raise questions from the audience. clown with donuts-game character PayDay.

🎛 AI may be good at "rendering" parts like donuts or a cat fur, but AI will never build that idea from 0 just by pressing button. People don't understand that this is main point why ai will never replace artists. Not because ai can't generate hands correctly, but because ai can't tell a story. Just imagine how powerful AI can be in hands of this artist. AI can save hundreds and thousand of hours in perpective! Artists life is short - i would rather let them to paint ideas with AI, instead thousands hours rendering bushes on background.

[@nikolailockertsen]

Thank you. I hope I can still work as I do now. :-) I will ignore IA until they send a terminator
