Re-Paint Part Three | Finishing Up a Digital Painting

[@Pixelpunkish]

I was in a creative slump, but after seeing your videos I feel inspired and motivated again. Thank you very much for sharing these!

[@LillenArt2]

I'm so happy more artists are working in both traditional and digital. There are still so many people who disregard digital entirely.

[@fpatrocinio]

I'm also both Traditional and Digital Artist, and i also think you can learn from the diferent kinds of media, and mix them both, which will bring something fresh to the paintings.

[@bleachismyfriend]

As an artist, I watched through the entire three-part series thinking to myself, 'Wow, this artist is a genius.' Your whole process from start to finish is so thorough, and very inspiring to me. I'm not a beginner but this video series gave me more of a glimpse of what it's like to pursue mastery. I respect your work, process, and mind an insane amount thanks to these videos, and appreciate works like yours a whole lot.

[@heybaberiba]

I have been working as an illustrator and graphic designer for 15 years now, but only last month started to learn how to paint with oil. I already have gained so much understanding for my digital painting as well. The fact that you mix digital and classic painting is what makes this my favorite KZbin artist channel. You checklist in this video = awesome insight into your process!

[@octonolite_0]

I arrived at this video late (3 years after posting) but it is right on time in my art journey. Great insight and explanations. Thanks, Cynthia!

[@seanpaulson9098]

Awesome, one if not the best series of videos on KZbin. I like the feel of this painting and comp better but I did like the stylized look of slice in the first better

[@MarkDavidTeo]

I love that question you have for yourself when painting! "Is this the best I can do today" So good! Thanks, Cynthia! Seeing your video super inspires me! You're the best!!!

[@Fantasy2012dz]

A lot of things for an artist to do an artwork , so many details , sitting still for hours and hours .... i appreciate all of their archivements and creations. Love your art !

[@cecec7102]

Thank you so much for letting us enter the mind of a great artist and person like you ! Truly mesmerizing, both digitally and traditionally. I am so glad to have found your work,since you embody everything I aspire to be one day. Mastering color and light to tell stories, with intriguing characters. Having a strong female artist in the majorly masculine concept art and illustration world, is inspiring ! Keep up the awesome content

[@aprilrainsfineart3250]

I wholeheartedly agree with you on the digital vs traditional debate. In general, watching and listening to people who do different styles or mediums is very useful. They all have different insights and even if they're not all applicable to your style you can glean a lot of helpful stuff from them

[@ArdenRachelArt]

I always love your commentary, and I totally agree that digital and traditional artists have a lot to learn from each other!

[@jameswu4014]

Thanks for sharing with your illustration Process Cynthia, love the final piece

[@randolfjones1024]

Great tip of putting light within the hand for a warm shadow area. Thanks for taking the time x

[@kapsican]

It's so fun to see your process, like how the queen's face has changed more and more. Great piece, love it!

[@fatemazayed4875]

i have never seen something like this before ... just wow

[@GiaTheSweetPotato]

This really is a brilliant piece. I would be so proud of myself. Damn, give yourself a pat on the back, you deserve it!

[@chrissteiger6225]

I loved it so much when you brought up Avatar the last Airbender. My most favorite show ever! However, you’re painting is beautiful, well done and thank you for the tips

[@ChiJaHaNi]

Great video series - I loved it and learned a ton. There is so much amazing information from these videos that I have to watch them again. There's a lot to chew on and digest here. I loved what you said about learning from different mediums. I don't really see myself doing digital art, but I find it fascinating. Art is art - meaning, the basics are the same; values scales, color choices, light and dark, light sources, etc. I would love to hear what you've learned from one medium that helps you in another (specifically, digital to oil and vise versa). Awesome video - amazing art! Thank you!

[@thomasmiller2208]

I didn’t think I was going to get a Christmas present this year....I was wrong, thank you very much.

[@tomkillmore5422]

I really appreciate the honest answers and information you give in these videos. Your work is very inspiring. Thank you for including your older art. I think some artists would shy away from their earlier art, but it really helps to see improvements over time. The original piece was pretty good but I think you blew it out of the water with the new one. Thank you for sharing!

[@scarlet8078]

Nice work! & I guessed 40hr so I was pleased to be correct lol. Seriously though I can only do 1 illustration this complex per week, either traditional or digital, with traditional being longer or shorter depending on size & medium. Ironically, digital used to take me longer bc I zoom in and get mentally lost & then realize 2hr passed. So I set a timer to stop every 40m during the rendering painting. This also forces u to get up & stretch. I do wish I could thumbnail like u bc I hate it & feel like I'm being tortured when the AD wants a bunch of comps

[@litefoot25]

Cynthia, thank you for this series! It was so good to learn about the planning phase and how critical it can be to the overall success of the piece. The composition and story of the final is so intriguing.

[@TheEnteleqia]

I still remember when you told us you didn't know your first video with oils was so relevant for some people, and we have been reaching this point. I absolutely loved this process. One could say that with some years we get better at technique, but you point to the brain work like the star, and let me totally thinking. The artistic process is so important. Thank you so much for this video . sorry for my english tho, I speak spanish.

[@deathtyrantart]

Just read through the new Ixalan art book and loved how you guys included the process on how you commission art. Gave me a lot of good info!

[@SmillyDonut]

Even though I'm not a digital painter and know little about digital art, this mini series was wonderful to watch and has really defined some of what I need to work on with my art going forward. Thank you so much for this and all your videos. Your art and process are inspiring.

[@ahmednaeem4954]

Thank you so much Cynthia....loved the video and learned a lot!

[@TobyFoxArt]

This whole series has been wonderful to watch, so informative and truly a joy.

[@johncollado1151]

Beautiful piece Cynthia... I'm a new subscriber, looking forward to see more of your work.

[@kishi_666]

Merry Christmas Cynthia! Thank you for this Christmas gift video and taking us through your process. This came out hauntingly beautiful!! Also +1 for that ATLA reference :D

[@TartantazCreates]

Merry Christmas. Thank you for showing your full process for your Alice piece. I've learned a lot from your digital process that is transferable to my traditional painting. Maybe one day I will get the confidence to try digital painting. I do have a graphics tablet I use for editing my photographs so I have the tools, I just don't know where to start. You have inspired me to research software etc. Take care T x

[@itsallhushhush]

This was amazing and gave me so much inspiration to create! I’m sad you’ve not made any recent tutorials!

[@MysteriMaan]

3 evenings on a small portion of the painting, amazing. Your resolve is as strong as steel, i would have given up. You are inspiring. Do you have a patreon i can donate to? I would have bought a print if i could, but i don't have an address for it to be delivered to.

[@megacorven]

I loved it, thanks for sharing this fantastic process!!!

[@franciscom149]

Finally here! Superb wrap up of the piece, I loved every step of it, and I found the walkthrough really helpful and educational. I'm starting to get more and more in love with the process and it was very interesting what you said about caring about each part of the painting, I will start keeping that in mind. Happy holydays, Cynthia!

[@MiruuuDraws]

Amazing tutorial and drawing!

[@mangaartists7296]

wow! amazing process! thanks for sharing this!

[@lancered7920]

This a great series of videos going over process. Really liked your thoughts on intention & caring about areas when evaluating a painting. Something I need to do more in my work. Up to this point most of my criteria for if a piece was finished or not revolved around technique & whether or not the image would serve my client the best it could. I like how going back to one's intention & caring as an artist makes it more personal.

[@matriz_83]

this is gorgeous

[@hamsterfay]

I just found this channel and this might be one of my favorite channels ever. Please make more videos like this!! I would love to see them. I struggle a lot with starting out composition for my paintings, and being an art student usually we get asked for a lot of refined ones that you can make some sense of. I was wondering if you could make some videos on how you go about compositing your pieces, figuring out if they're good enough to start painting, etc? Thank you!

[@amberwhite6086]

Wow. This is just 🤯

[@milapesic8638]

Awesome! I support you switching between mediums, not only cause I do so myself, but it goes without saying that relationship between traditional and digital is mutually beneficial. More importantly, you choose how you want to tailor your content, and you should do what you love and want. Happy holidays!

[@samanthaford9060]

Absolutely amazing. My professor showed your videos in class because she emphasizes the same kind of process you use. I'm inspired!!

[@artfx9]

Thank you very much for sharing! Have a great holiday!

[@lizardz1470]

Well thank you Cynthia , you give me some future view for my art. After 2 year maybe i feel confused about how i painting in digital, after i watch your video i got more inspired, Thank you :)

[@AmourinetteCindyAntoinette]

These 3 part video has been so helpful! The questions that you often ask yourself are so so useful :D

[@Maren617]

Fantastic, beautiful and inspiring! You're also putting my mind at ease with the time this took because on the internet, it seems as if everyone completes their elaborate paintings within a few hours, which is just not realistic and made me feel anxious about my speed. :)

[@Sakuraloid]

Thank you so much for showing everyone your art process for this illustration! I've learned a lot! I so looking forward for your future videos.

[@farnazgbd3484]

Merry Christmas dear Cynthia. I enjoy your art so much❤️❤️❤️you are so patient through the process and that is truely inspiring❤️❤️❤️wish you a happy year.

[@martearty922]

Woah this turned out amazing! i love it And i love how detailed you talk about it. Thanks! Merry Christmas from Norway!

[@mattt3819]

Thanks for the sharing. Merry Christmas and happy holidays back at you!

[@HernanCarracedo]

Thank for sharing Cynthia! Have a great holiday and Merry Christmas!!

[@richardbrummel926]

The queen's clenched fist I thought was particularly inspired. Gonna give me bad dreams!

[@hinduspl]

Ok i sue you for blowing out my brain and destroting me eyes! Amazing job. Thanks for all those videos.

[@johndamartist]

I really look forward to seeing more of these series, incredibly inspiring work

[@donmega1992]

[@tiannawilliams1040]

Wow! Thoroughly impressed. After seeing the first two videos I was REALLY looking forward to seeing the final piece! Thank you for sharing! And if you ever want to share the brush that you use, I would LOVE to get that!!

[@ALLISMIND]

[@TDuD3]

Have a good one and well all that! xD, plis keep bringing awesome stuff! I would like to see how you create the soundtracks which i like a lot , Omens soundtrack is my fav by far!

[@artbyshackleton3270]

Loved watching this set. Thanks for sharing!

[@hobnobs1550]

this was a great watch. really informative for someone self taught like my self

[@MicahRauch]

The process videos for this piece were so helpful! Thanks for all the great informative material :-)

[@PapasPixels]

I enjoyed this so much! Thank you for sharing this with us! 🙂

[@UConceptPublishing]

i love the piece and learning about your thought process

[@AnVoPhotography]

Truly amazing artwork and very inspiring to watch. I only just discovered your channel and of course I have subscribed. Thank you for sharing your thoughts behind your creations. I’ve learned a ton.

[@InMalicesWakeOfficial]

Found this series absolutely inspiring and insightful. Thank you. Subscribed very early on, you are brilliant

[@GeraldusOne]

Very cool!

[@KatrineHeart]

Happy holidays ☺️ I loved this series

[@harrygilbert7121]

hello, So i just had the wonderful pleasure of watching all three videos and I am seriously blown away with your work and process! Enough to try and get myself back into painting/digital painting. I just had one question, the brush you are using, is it available for download at all? It looks like a rather versatile brush! Your work and process is so inspirational! TY. XD

[@schematics1195]

love the intro.

[@grenader6409]

This is amazing Cynthia ^^ ! Thank you for inspiring us with your vision and quotes. Merry Christmas!

[@nicolebenedicto6442]

[@Rezahadilesmana]

Thank you so much for this!

[@milkbread5036]

Thank you SO much I'm learning a lot :D It' so inspiring!

[@davidrobot7818]

Thanks for sharing this process. Enjoy your holiday. o/

[@amc7545]

you are fantastic. I love your work and explanations :)

[@chrispfeiffer6905]

have you ever tried using the Mixer Brush for digital painting? I find it gives very good results and flows well.

[@tedotis7229]

You don't seem to be using the mixing brush or the smudge tool, but you still get a beautifully realistic oil painting appearance. Is that through working with the opacity over the previous layers?

[@kyonas6047]

Pixel bending i love the name😂♥️✨

[@whenanthonydraws]

Nice ATLA analogy! :D

[@danaedwardsart726]

inspiration for my painting??? I use your videos to procrastinate working on miiiiiiine

[@nooripp7055]

The first thing anyone says to me when they see my art is "did you draw that"

[@zeldaprincessgirl100]

Person: Did you draw that? Me: Nooooo... i totally don't have my pencil on my sketchbook, moving my arm and making lines...of course i'm drawing captain obvious. 😑 Lol, i wouldn't say that for real, but it's very annoying.

[@ahmedshaikh7662]

Hi Cynthia I was wondering if you could share your brush as it creates a very nice texture.

[@annaqura3360]

You haven't uploaded for a long time, but is there any chance to get another video series like this?

[@manuelcastanonguerrero3216]

A:TLA reference?! Unsubbed.... just so I could sub again! xD Hapy Holidays Cynthia! hope you have a well deserved rest and an amazing time, thank you so much for all this quality content!

[@ThisWasLeftBlank]

I don't know if this is "correct" (I'm using air quotes here) but how do you know how long it takes to be awesome? My gut tells me you've always known you've been awesome at bending color. Queen Swiffer the color bender.

[@yuri.cherkasov]

This is fucking genius

[@hiendar2407]

beautiful hair....

[@AlejandroHurt]

I Love you! in a admiration meaning (Im not a crazy guy hehehe)

[@kris-chan1440]

i liked the video because of the avatar reference

[@dustinirvin6815]

are changing the opacity of your brush as you paint? Or just leaving everything at 100% and using flow and opacity to pen pressure? i like both ways and get different results with each. Just depends on what I'm going for in a piece.

[@SheppardArts]

I leave my brush at 100% and entirely use pen pressure. Thanks for asking!

[@dustinirvin6815]

@@SheppardArts thanks for replying!

[@shawz10]

Wait, you did all this on that tiny laptop? Do you use a magnifying glass? :) Doesn't the laptop screen mess with your great sense of color?

[@MacMalte]

pixel bending :)

[@danielrko9895]

it is weird the digital painting apps are trying to copy traditional paint and traditional painters are trying to copy digital effects (at least some of the are)

[@vidyawitch]

How long did this exactly take in real time? Can u please make video on how to get really good at drawing and painting? Thank u so much for all the inspiration and information that u share. I am so happy to see the notification that ur video is up. Good day! Merry Christmas.

[@artfx9]

Green Wood did you watch (listen) to the video?

[@vidyawitch]

artfx9 I hadn't listened to it when i commented. I was so excited to see the video notification and her awesome work of art. Was wondering how long does this magical thing take to materialize. I am a beginner in digital painting and have no knowledge about how long the process takes. Now I know the answer for the first question. :)

[@LillenArt2]

Go to 8:50 She answers your exact question. Also, this doesn't seem to take in account the initial idea (concept) she created in 2007.
