Digitally Painting like a Sculptor - Caricature Critique

[@ReXooLGMD]

Drawing like a painter, painting like a sculptor, titleing like a Sinix.

I thought this was video was sinix’s for a second lmaooo

He changed my whole perspective on drawing I always knew I was missing something

[@MrSorbias]

I love this way of painting. So fun and relaxing way to do images. 😍 Line drawing can sometimes be so frustrating.

[@RobertF-]

A good way to practice this tonal technique is with a pencil held on it's side instead of using the point. That way you can make large strokes, and if you draw light enough you can erase it away to the light of the paper. It's very similar to painting with dark and light paint. It works better with a harder pencil like a H or 2H grade, because it's more easily erasable than a darker pencil grade like a 4B or 6B. Another good way is to sharpen a pencil to a long sharp point, but then wear it down on a piece of sand paper so you get a blunt chisel like tip. With that you can draw soft, wide strokes that are easily erasable.

[@RobertF-]

NasTreeEels, right, but if you draw very lightly, and use a blunt tip instead of a sharp tip with those two techniques I mentioned, and especially if you use a hard grade graphite, you will be able to completely erase the graphite away and shape the tonal mass with an eraser.

[@RobertF-]

Sure thing

[@Jesslman45]

This has gotten to be one of the best digital painting videos I seen on KZbin!!!! Keep up the great work and teaching!!!!!!

[@mischa2643]

I've just gotten into digital work and this is such a fascinating technique-I love it!

Oh so that's called an eyedropper! I like this way to select colors, it's something I'll add to my work to save time! Thank you!

" A sculptor because one is adding and subtracting with paint as a sculptor adds and subtracts clay to achieve intended, artistic finished idea?" Adding and subtracting LIGHT through paint maybe another sound analogy? Great video! Thank you for sharing.

[@tarabooartarmy3654]

I’ve been doing digital painting off and on for many years, along with traditional now and then, and I’ve noticed I’m much better at going right in and painting. Sometimes I do an initial sketch first, but I feel like my work turns out better when I just paint.

[@andyarkin]

you make it look so easy. i thought Nick Nelson's Defoe was really well done and then you jumped in on the crit and WOW!!!. especially the eyes. so many little subtle things made your eyes look so solid. i am not even close to being able to do this but having a great time on the PREMIUM CARICATURE course. one thing i would love to know more are your settings with the brush(es), and short cuts you use. and, btw, thank you robert (below) on your comment.

[@CourtJones]

Thanks, Andy. I can't remember what that brush was originally called. It was one of the standard PS brushes. It just had a number assigned to it. 24 I think. As I mentioned in the tutorial, I just turned on Opacity Jitter and saved it as a new brush. The exact brush isn't important. Just experiment until you find one that works for you. In the premium version of the digital paint sketching lesson, I go over how to customize your brush settings for the best effect. When working on a painting, there are a few helpful keyboard shortcuts to know, like 'B' for brush and 'E' for eraser. But mostly, I just toggle the brush into a color sampling eyedropper tool as needed by holding down Alt/Opt.

[@mischa2643]

Right? By 6:45, a smudge or two on two tones, and you can just TELL who it is.

[@GrimSoul66]

Cool, dude this really helped me move from pencil to paint. Thank you so much for the info, and keep educating people, you're going a great job.

[@iraromanenko2737]

Thank you Proko ang thank you Court for yours lessons!

[@usimortis1940]

Great video. The title reminds me of Sinix's video along with some of the content but great nonetheless.

[@theartofstefanoid8106]

This Caricatures series is just amazing! I learn so much with your videos!

[@Maurilustrador]

Excellent video! This is by far one of the best tutorials I've seen!

God like critique!!! 💯💯💯💯💯

[@shizyninjarocks]

Very helpful and enjoyable! Thanks for posting.

[@haylz27]

I have so much trouble with values and picturing where the lights and darks fall on my drawings. It's really depressing because even though I've watched so many tutorials I'm still having trouble. Is it because I haven't learned to observe things in the real world as much as I should? I guess I need to keep practicing...

[@violet33itzal]

Awesome video. I really struggle with using lines to draw on my digital paintings and this was super informative! Thanks!

[@antonioblanco3086]

I loved this technique! thank you Court your videos are so cool!

[@robbielu22]

thank you believe it or not this helped me a bunch with a painting of a python snake that I am working on! Thanks!

[@t.santhoshalakshmi1583]

You are really, really good at it. 👍

[@danielpantarelli2757]

Court Jones is the only guy with black hair and ginger eyebrows, love it!

[@CourtJones]

Haha. Yeah. My hair is graying though. So, soon it will be lighter than my eyebrows.

[@Callissess]

Hah, I was thinking the same thing, salt and pepper hair, ginger eyebrows! The light today was really bringing that out. Now off to create a character...

[@dianakaren9697]

La mejor explicacion realemente!!!

[@leam1978]

i just happened across this video and i find it really interesting because i never learned how to draw with lines properly--only to paint with charcoal. i feel like the struggle for me is the inverse

[@CraigCrossley]

I think you missed the harshness of the Willem Dafoe's nostrils and his mouth could have been much higher to exaggerate the long chin and jaw. Love your work and these videos Court!

[@SeianVision]

I like your concept

[@OFFTOROADVLOG]

thanks for the tips sir

[@Kai-vp1oh]

Sinix is gonna sue

[@curtismantle]

Unlikely. This technique was common-place in traditional art and portraiture in the 19th and 20th century.

[@Thesamurai1999]

Then Sinix is ignorant.

[@JonathanChenentercreativeurl]

Whoosh

[@Mary-gz1qw]

I do the same - sometimes going straight to paint will work if I'm not getting what I want with a sketch.

[@gjs9366]

Brilliant, as usual.

[@ignaciocarballo5638]

Hi Proko people, Loved the video! Question: Which would be the best traditional media to aproach this whole drawing like a sculptor technique? This channel rocks! Saludos desde Argentina!!

[@CourtJones]

If you are interested in drawing/dry media, I would suggest a charcoal pencil sharpened to a long point so you can use it on its side. On smooth grade newsprint. Check out one of the earlier Proko videos Stan made on how to sharpen pencils. And for painting, personally, I love alla prima oil painting because it's very similar to this method of digital painting. But if you don't want to jump into that, gouache is a great way to get into painting because it teaches you how to use controlled strokes and color tiling. It can be used full strength with full opacity or thinned down with water for a watercolor effect.

[@jkell42]

Something about the sketch reminds me of Ronald Regan.

[@myrkflinn4331]

OMG? only now I notice. XD Forgive me Court, but... You have ginger eyebrows XD it's so cute

[@antonioloera5330]

Areyou using Photoshop for you digital painting

[@CourtJones]

Yes, indeed.

[@sandynamic23]

Amazing...

[@Noticing_Nolan]

I've never heard someone use the term "core shadow". Always crest shadow.

[@haileyjones3396]

you should make a video on drawing hair

[@NopperaBosri]

Drawing and molding principles come from the same basis. Depending on who is good in what kind Some people may start from a small point. Someone from the drawing line Someone from the brush Depending on what kind of fun and skill Not wrong

[@madechoo]

Excelente!!.

[@-tom-1582]

I love your channel,but can you activate french subtitles please ?

[@yahyabatutta6678]

Can someone please tell me what kind of hardware Court is working with. What's the tablet? It looks huge.

[@CourtJones]

Sorry for this VERY late reply. But I'm using Stan's 27 inch Wacom Cintiq in his office. It is definitely huge.

[@hazersalvo3608]

Heyooo prokoo ♥

*DO YOU KNOW HOW MUCH I SACRIFICED?!*

[@anassaccente1322]

@Proko. Would you be able to share the link to find the brush you used for this video. Thank you

[@laurastui3228]

That's what I keep asking but he won't tell us until we sign into his class. I guess.

[@karanmirajkar51]

Is it done in single or multiple layers in Photoshop ?

[@CourtJones]

It was painted in a single layer, rather quickly. I took about 25 minutes on it.

[@adildraws]

You did a great job. Looks funny.

[@burntkayatoast]

what brush is he using? is it on csp?

[@maxmeier532]

I honestly couldnt tel this was Willem Defoe in the finished picture. The nose is way too small and the space between nose and mouth is huge. I get it's supposed to be a caricature, but it would probably be more adequate to exagerate features rather than making them up. However, great approach in concern to technique!

[@torababdullah7952]

Could you give me the brush name and brush setting please?

[@karimroshdy6432]

I really want to draw with shapes and value but how can I force my brain to think this way

[@kevinthompson4229]

Keeping it real, I don't think the rework of Defoe captured his likeness well either.

[@kivuntuntija]

I know right, he look more like green goblin

[@rel8106]

what brush did you use???

[@mabels7010]

I hate working linearly when doing digital art so I always work like this

[@74applegreen]

It's frankenstein on 6:10😄

[@ankits4251]

Does this technique work well with coloured portraits..??

[@CourtJones]

Yes, definitely! But working with full color adds an additional variable to worry about. When just trying to find the likeness, I prefer to work in black and white so I can focus on that. But try doing it in color if you are comfortable with it!

[@namoshi4335]

[@canalcerrado2433]

Good concept but sculptors dont paint they model or rather sculpt... painting suggest color😎

[@JonathanChenentercreativeurl]

Los Idealistas_canal surprisingly, color is the least important thing in painting. Values, form, and light come first, so the comparison does hold.

[@canalcerrado2433]

Jonathan Chen true , but what makes a painter and differentiates him from a sculptor is color, color is part of what we see as painters and while the other concepts help you see better , at the end we have to deal with color head on. To me color is more important than those other aspects of painting...without color you cant call yourself a painter ☺️

[@JonathanChenentercreativeurl]

I think color is like a filter, and that it can't capture a scene on its own. (would you call a colorblind artist a painter?) i think the main difference is that sculpting is 3d and painting is an illusion of 3d in 2d. Do you mean that painting by *definition* uses color, or that color in paintings adds appeal that you can't get anywhere else? marco bucci kind of explains my thoughts well in his color harmony video at the end, so id like to know your thoughts in more depth.

[@bobymox]

Very bad,not even look like Daffoe.To make a caricature first you have to make accent on features person allredy have.Daffoe have sharp chiks,and big mouth and chin. Its easy!

[@sandrossone]

thanks for the tips
