Rock Painting Tutorial - Digital Painting Basics - Concept Art

[@kevinpopescu9741]

it may sound dumb but I KNOW the rock you first showed as a reference example! I's located in romania in a site with cool rock formations very high up in the mountain. I visited it two years ago. it's touristic because it looks like a face seen from the side.

[@WalidFeghali]

Haha that's awesome.

[@cebanoleg1546]

that's what i thought exactly....

[@gabrielb.4784]

A bowl of Miso soup It's the Sphinx

[@quilkism]

How on earth do you remember the exact shape of a rock

[@popialex]

Sfinxul from Bucegi.

[@yk54htangngocquyduong28]

level 1 : **draws a rock** level 100 : **draw The Rock**

[@lavender_heart3831]

I’m in level 1.... I CAN draw eyes but not rocks....

[@pardydrawsstuff389]

I guess I'm level 0 then

[@tilebrick8649]

I’m lvl like 2 but I can draw some pretty neat dragons so that’s a neato

[@GaaaDing]

I like that boulder. That is a nice boulder.

[@scalerzodiark]

GaaaDing I feel like that is a reference to something but I can't for the life of me figure it out🤔

[@justinsaunders5504]

It's from Shrek haha, Donkey says it :)

[@littlemixlyrics6613]

It's not just a boulder, it's a rock!

[@martinbammer2912]

back in the day, the Pioneers rode miles on these things

[@LeaElfArt]

GaaaDing I get your reference.😂

[@Fyrlink]

walid, i've never felt more lucky to live in an age where wisdom runs so rampantly through the world. thank you so much!

[@WalidFeghali]

Cheers! Glad to have you here. :)

[@spiderjerusalem8505]

Damn. This aged poorly

[@angelm2755]

A tutorial video with a voice that actually offers explanations.... the world is going to end. Thanks a lot man I’m subscribing

[@WalidFeghali]

Haha! Great to hear. And I hope the world will still be here ;) Best, W.

[@theapplechapel]

Walid: "Something like this, something like that." Me: "Mhm mhm" ... later Walid's Piece: Beautiful rocks My Piece: Squidgy mud pile with weird highlights

[@yowo6105]

I'm never looking at rocks the same way again. Every time I see a rock I want to draw it. Now my phone is loaded with photos of rocks I want to paint. 😊

[@WalidFeghali]

That's exactly what I want to hear!! :)

[@Jizzlewobbwtfcus]

haha true :D

[@aaronblack2653]

I would 100% enroll in an art class if you were teaching it. Your pace while working and explaining things is a bit quicker, but I enjoy that. You don't necessarily get bogged down by details or side tracked very easily. Good work, man!

[@krymasururu]

I'm not an artist but i want to learn to draw at least moderately well to help me when I study game design and while I don't plan on drawing rocks for characters the technique and ideas have helped me tremendously for even just practicing and other simpler stuff. thank u and I'll be checking out more of your videos

[@enza5304]

amazing tutorial for someone who's an absolute beginner like myself. thank you very much. I mean I get excited just by drawing a line that doesn't look like it's made by a 5yo kid, that's how clueless and unskilled I am in art. following this tutorial ( repeating it like 312 times for sure) I was able to produce something that me feel that I can actually paint eventually.

[@Syndrome2012]

I was sitting here thinking, Walid, Walid where do I know that name and sound of voice? Then it hit me... I signed up for your class on "The Basics Of Modern Music Production!" A man with Many talents!!

[@WalidFeghali]

Haha, happy to hear this. Thank you very much and good luck!

[@kyle5210]

*when you realize you cant even draw a rock*

[@JZStudiosonline]

Time to switch to Pixel Art.

[@EXHellfire]

Rocks are not easy to draw though.

[@Jizzlewobbwtfcus]

not sure what u mean. If you mean 'draw' as in paint then yes, it can be tricky. If you mean draw as in pencil it's piss easy. Just move your hand along the line as if you had mild shakes to give u easy randomized jagged edges and the same for inner contours/stripes/edges. Then use specular effect, stab an area repeatedly for some texture.

[@masteryi4047]

Well it ain't ROCK-et science

[@quilkism]

Sudden realization: I have been doing art for like 10 years now... And in those ten years I haven't done a decent rock.

[@hristoborisov3713]

u are the best, maaan, I don't even need an art teacher when I have youtube, which answers question with answers, not like yoda - with questions

[@notayetti555]

Hi walid, I am still starting with this Digital Painting on my career as an artist and I felt the need to thank you, from the deepest part of my hear for this tutorials. I absolutely love them and are really a morale boost. Wish you success in whatever you are doing right now.

[@WalidFeghali]

I am happy to hear your words, Not a Yetti. Thank you for this! And keep it with. :) Stay tuned for more! Best, W.

[@notayetti555]

Sometimes is discouraging going into digital painting because of the work you see online. It's really hard to start from a white canvas. I know I might be asking for too much but could you make a video on how to start or what to do? Happy new year btw, and as always, thanks for the vids. Take care!

[@darasto2023]

I really enjoy those short tutorials, I can learn a lot in a short amount of time. Thanks!

[@intexaqua6822]

I felt the genuineness while watching your tutorial... really helped.... thank you so much

[@matrixnavigator6669]

I love rocks! I collect them when I hike and I have them all around my home as decor, so I have plenty to reference from. I never thought drawing them could be so fun and interesting until I came across your videos. I'm a photographer and graphic designer looking to explore and improve my digital painting skills, so I'm very happy to have discovered your youtube channel. SUBSCRIBED! Thank you!!!

[@NiklasFreidwall]

Fantastisk guide. Jobbar just nu på att få till mina digiala målartalanger. Tack för att du delar med dig.

[@WalidFeghali]

Kul att du kikar in! :) W.

[@Rodutchi]

You rock'd it bro... Amazing tutorial.

[@PhilKony]

Thx for the tutorial! I mostly do photomanipulation but when i found you i want to do more enviroment painting, i sometimes just listen to your videos in the background when im drawing i find your voice very attractive, calm and soft. keep it up man and thank you once again! :)

[@riftserene]

This was super helpful. I've wanted to get into concept art and landscape painting for a while but whenever I drew rocks they looked wonky.

[@khadeejaabdul6675]

Thank you. I'm in love with this process. I was just not able to understand how to drop the colors and this tutorial gave me a sense of that sooooo THENK YOUUUU

[@Bazzabazeman]

That Lock Layer trick is priceless by the way, that's gonna come in so handy

[@Jizzlewobbwtfcus]

Just tried this out. EPIC!!!! Ty VERY much for this upload dude you're a great teacher. Will link your tutorial to future Deviantart postings which use this technique. :D

[@WalidFeghali]

Thank you! I'm happy you enjoyed it! Best, W.

[@roysmith5711]

These are the best digital painting videos on youtube. Cheers, mate. I am not a digital artist, I just bought a tablet. Your videos actually inspired to me try this. Would really appreciate if you make a small video guiding absolute beginners on beginners basics.

[@WalidFeghali]

Hey! That's great to hear. I am currently working on an online course for exactly this: taking you from the very beginning of not knowing anything about concept art, and actually making it, fundamentals of painting, Photoshop, tools, tablets, walkthroughs, and so on. You can sign up on the Design newsletter on my site: www.evenant.com/design :)

[@flohh]

I'm in a sort of different place, i've been a digital artist for a while now and I know Photoshop inside and out, I find the thing I get caught up on is perspective as well as being able to shade items properly. I also find that I'll make the shapes, then shade a little and it looks really plain and I dont know how to continue, if you could make some videos for those things it would help a lot, best tutorials so far by a long shot btw!

[@roysmith5711]

Walid Feghali Thanks a lot mate. And I had signed up the first time I had visited your site. You are doing a great job so far.

[@WalidFeghali]

Roy Smith That's great to hear. Thank you, I appreciate it.

[@WalidFeghali]

Yes, that's more of the fundamentals. I will try and cover more of that in the free stuff, but I am working on the course right now that will cover all of the essentials that you need. Stay tuned! :)

[@justanotherladevoyee8953]

Drawing rocks is actually quite fun!

[@WalidFeghali]

Yes it is! :) Best, W.

[@kinkarobotina]

the best videos start with "painting xxx isn't even that hard". I think I'm about to learn something!

[@WalidFeghali]

Haha :)

[@microraptorguy1387]

Thank you so much for this helpful tutorial, i will use it as practice tool for my backgrounds as it's one of my weak points. Keep it up!

[@zixxymwhah]

I just got a Cintiq and I don't have trouble with drawing things, but painting color was really difficult until I tried following this tutorial! Thank you so much for this video! :)

[@WalidFeghali]

Happy to hear that. :) Best, W.

[@AlexpxThreeTen]

These are really great, thanks for sharing. Looking forward to taking one of your courses.

[@WalidFeghali]

Happy to hear that. The gates to my course Cinematic Design reopen on February 20, Thursday next week if you're interested! Stay tuned. :) W.

[@drake1627]

Really grateful for your videos! The tutorials have been helping me alot! :)

[@WalidFeghali]

Glad to hear that. :)

[@sebabaciu1224]

The first rock you presented is a famous ancient mountain peak called 'The Sphinx' from romanian Carpatian mountains. Is thought to be older the the pyramids of giza, some are saying is a neolitic carving, some are saying is a natural formation, but definivly was used in the very very ancient history, that place known in history as Dacia ( present Transylvania, in Romania)

[@Back2Zack]

1) Sketch silhouettes to make sure your shapes are not wonky 2) Keep it simple but not uniform 3) paint in your base colors/shading using references 4) add accents on edges and cracks, use references to find shapes and texture 5) blend it in, fit your landscape or 1) use references GG

[@Kryz4Dayz]

Nice 😂😂 Didnt expect an avatar joke here lol

[@mustardsauce5201]

ah yes, but how do you draw the pebble though

[@Rqptor_omega]

Honestly this is a very good tutorial,time for me to manually make the texture because I'm broke and don't have Photoshop 😅

[@SilverfoxLobo]

Much appeciated. Thank you!! 😁

[@corylee5328]

if you don't mind telling game what tool is used when you change color such as when you did the highlights at 16:18? i had made a keyboard shortcut for it and forgot the shortcut and its name so i am unable to find it, thanks. awesome tutorial as well.

[@WalidFeghali]

Ah, that's actually just me clicking the color box on the left hand side. The boxes that show your foreground and background colors! :) Cheers!

[@RollingSun2000]

It's called "Foreground color picker" under "Tools" in the keyboard shortcuts. (There is also background colour picker there too)

[@corylee5328]

awesome thank you guys. i was looking for color picker forever but now i remember what i changed it to. thank you again for helping me find it

[@Vidargaengr]

Very nice!!! Thank you.

[@depthofthestars]

[@depthofthestars]

Walid Feghali Åh, haha! Jeg var sikker på at du var norsk, og nei, jeg er foreløpig bare mediastudent i England. Kan finne på å studere konseptkunst neste år, så får mye nytte ut av videoen dine. :>

[@MegaDobrich]

Hey Walid, you have some concept art tutorials on buildings. Kinda tricky :/

[@CHRISGT34]

Excellent tutorial. Exactly what digital tools are you using in this video? I like using my Huion GT 220 and the IPad Pro with the apple pencil.

[@WalidFeghali]

I'm just on my Macbook Pro with a Wacom Intuos Pro Medium tablet! :) The iPad Pro 12.9 inch is awesome with the apple pencil. Cheers!
