Using Paper Textures in Corel Painter

A handful of people asked for a tutorial on this, so I wanted to give a shot. It's mainly for my own learning purposes, but hopefully you guys enjoy it as well.
I was a little sick when I recorded the audio, so apologies if I sound even lamer than normal.
Feel free to check out my patreon at: / sinix
And Corel Painter 2017 is out now! You can try a free trial here: store.corel.co...

One tip I'd like to add, as pointed out in Scott Robertson's book "How to Render", is texture gradation. Texture is most visible on reflective surfaces at the center light, whereas on matte surfaces it is most visible at the mid tones, the area on the light side closest to the core shadow. Last week I upgraded to Painter 2017 (I was previously on X3), and it has a lot of cool and fun texture options. And the glazing brushes are a joy to play with too!

[@sinixdesign]

Good info! Thanks.

[@reddy-kz8ph]

will u do more critiques in the future

[@rathernotdisclose8064]

the lazy paintings are the best to me. I love loose brush strokes, and the paper texture works best in that context I think.

[@Holdsworthands]

that first texture was incredible, when i saw that draw on twitter i thought that you just used some photo texture, but you actually painted it!

[@PHeMoX]

I love how you use Corel Painter. You're one of the few who really seems to master it in terms of concept art and solid drawing skills. I never used paper textures like that, but definitely should! :)

[@sambridges4670]

This is a really cool idea that I'd love to see explored more sometime in the future.

[@juggernaut1011]

I never thought about using the paper textures this way. This is very helpful

[@Skycrowliu]

LOLOLOLOLOL sinix i just realized when i draw, especally drawing designs i have a habit of tilt my head from side to side constantly none stop (similar to a curious puppy). i realized i also have that same habit of doing so when i watch your real time tutuorial videos, LOLOL it was so awkward cus i was watching it with a friend, we burst out laughing after he told me cus he waited a whole 20 mins before he told me

[@Erginartesia]

So glad to see your Painter vids!

[@cameronmckay3504]

Man! thank you, thank you, thank you so much for sharing this. This is exactly what I was missing with my art and completely overlooked.

[@rodline9027]

Just found your channel. Incredibly useful information. So glad to see some excellent painter content

[@ethanwalker3392]

glad you've been pretty a five this year so far. thanks a bunch I love it!!

[@NonsenseDrawing]

Very informative as always Sinix.

[@adammyers9457]

excellent stuff, you may be the one who turns life long photoshop users to corel painter. btw love the dry brush

[@demon6937]

I love this kind of effect the thumbnail reminds me of Jay Park and Oscar Llorens

[@najkraemer3117]

THANKS! I had this problem of having my work look so plain. Now i have textures!

[@RayanMADAO]

Damn textures are powerful in sinix's hands

[@bremenwright3488]

cool thing with the newer versions of painter is that you get random gran rotation anyways if you want that does exactly what you might need

[@Camille-gh9gv]

red goes great in the winter

[@shellz-art]

Hi Sinix! Another splendiferous video. Are the brushes you use available for download? Are they compatible / transferable to Photoshop? Or perhaps there is a method you use to creating them that I can apply to my own? They look absolutely stupendous and I'd love to try them out! Thank you! Shelly

[@Charly_Chive]

Creating the illusion of detail thru chaos. Damn I like that phrase.

[@shirayukihime7384]

such a good video!

[@toby5596]

Yea man, stranger things was awesome. The Sheriff dude is always punching people! He's awesome. And those nerdy kids.

[@Spacecookie-]

Hi Sinix, do you have any tips/examples for painting blizzard type weather scenes please?

[@XxBloodyWenchxX]

lovely! I'm just now trying to find out whether or not to buy corel painter and i really love what you're doing with it! although it's clear that you just have the skill to probably make some badass art even with win97 paint ;D still, the brushes and the way the media is simulated looks nice in your vid. =) i've mainly worked with PS until now - what do you guys think are the strong points of corel painter when compared to ps? thanks for any unput in advance!

[@daronpoe]

"Who knows?, maybe im just stupid"

[@worshipdemons]

amazing as always!

[@melfranklin2000]

Hi! What are your dry brush settings for the mech piece? Or, do you have it available for download? Great work man!!!

[@ethanq456]

Trying corel after using psd for the past 5-6 years, any suggestions? also is their certain brush set which would work better than others? cheers

[@immrpandabear]

it feels like u and me are the only artists who actually use corel painter for more than 5 minutes and were trying to figure out how the fuk do we do photoshop things in this limited program.

[@element1111]

how is corel 'limited'?

[@Paul_anderson_creative]

Sweet. Helpful. Thanks.

[@1212beau]

ill always love you

[@rodog9290]

Great job

[@MrNerdCustard]

Thanks for more great content :)

[@zlovredniyTip]

+Sinix Design did you ever run out of corel painter activations if so how did you resolve it?

[@greennature1045]

ty so much :) NICE

[@imwubbaluba7249]

You say you’re character, does that mean you have some kind of story? If where could I find it?

[@k_e_K_e___]

Thanks!!

[@wisnupradana4909]

I see you have liquify brush? where do i get it?

[@liothomasart]

Awesome

[@Alifkbr]

I've never been this early before. Senpai notice me!

[@snoot6629]

the angle tab is missing from my paper panel :(

[@akiruaka]

Would it be possible to apply the same technique on Photoshop? +sinixdesign

[@akiruaka]

Any recommended brushes?

[@aurelienani5927]

you can do it by making a textured brush in Photoshop, it's just not as fluid as using a paper texture, rotating / scaling / flipping in Painter, it's much easier and fluid in Painter you can also easily change depth and contrast of the paper in Painter, it's much harder to do that in Photoshop, you would need to capture multiple brushes

[@Svartegrim]

Theoretically it should be possible to do similar in Photoshop.

[@keelanr.3412]

Sinix I love stranger things!

[@tonyberrigan8347]

Is there anywhere we can download or buy your brush pack?

[@93hothead]

Its one of the defaults in corel painter with minor changes i think

[@FragMentEditing]

He's using default brushes within Corel Painter.

[@tonyberrigan8347]

FragMentEditing Which ones?

[@FragMentEditing]

***** If you watch his other video called Painting Like a Sculptor, you'll see that the main painting brush he uses is the Dry Brush, found under the acrylics brushes. For sketching he typically uses the Scratchboard tool.

[@tonyberrigan8347]

Oh thanks

[@wes5457]

you are god.

[@clue_47]

That moment when: You're too poor to have tv and too poor to grt Netflix. 😅

[@clue_47]

+Lorpo Is fat yeah, internet is a must since homework for college and high school is online.

[@law3rd669]

Interesting.

[@Alexs321432]

30 mins geeze XD

[@RJBynon]

hahaha "is that a spoiler myeeh whatever"

[@asirrisa7615]

oh wow i'm pretty early

[@asirrisa7615]

cooleo

[@drastic209562]

LMAO. Stranger Things. Just seen the 1st episode today. Coincidence.

[@tionanima]

1:56 D:

[@nokiot9]

Ugh. You totally skipped over the fine controls. When you textured the bird you changed the size and warped it. I paused it and still can't really tell what the heck you're doin.

[@nokiot9]

And holy crap. At 7:50 the part where you're rotating the texture, why is it resizing the texture without registering it on the bars? I'm doing it right now and as your rotate it it goes through a 'small-to-big-to-small' phase as it goes around. But the size bar is the same. So you gotta like eyeball the right size because it changes every different angle. I can see it's happening to you too I think.

[@nokiot9]

It's like when you have the texture at a straight angle like it's supposed to be, it's at the normal size. But as soon as you angle it, it shrinks. And then with some textures it doesn't do it at all. I'm so confused right now...

[@xoJM]
