Typo with “Paiting”. Should be Painting. Awesome work.
Very nice
so I’d like to know what brush are u used to paint this painting?
Thanks Meng, that’s fixed!
wow! Collis is back!
With an ‘I’ correction
Great narrative and tips, the wolf in the middle is awesome!
Great Tutorial and tips. When I was in college had a teacher that kind of teach us that style of digital painting (few layers, start drawing with quickly and nothing defined). It was really good and refreshing to see this video. Thanks for doing it.
Saludos!
Great result and I really appreciate the commentary. Helps a lot.
Mmm…
goodluck
Speed painting rawks
Realy love comments in the video a gold worth!
Thanks for the comments everyone – glad the commentary is useful
Lionel – the main brushes used for the wolves in the tutorial were the basic hard edged round brush and a brush called ‘texture comb’ for the scratchy fur effect, both used at various levels of opacity. Hope that helps.
thank’s
Great work thanks
fantastic!
wow. good work
Seeing the initial sketches taken all the way through to the finished article a true inspiration we be looking out for more of these from you.
cheers
Very good work! This reminds me the monalisa artwork made using MS Paint.
What a lovely tutorial. i really enjoy watching the actual process of drawing, not concentrated on the photoshop and the effects around it..
Really great commentary!
Amazing, but it’s not really a tutorial, is it.
Anyway, this was very enjoyable to watch, thanks!
yh, its more of a series of tips to make the painting better. because you cant realy teach someone to paint from scratch in like 45 mins
Fantastic, when its zoomed in it looks real messy but when it its zoomed out it looks realy detailed! hope there are more tutorials from you!
Way cool. Great!!!!
Very cool tutorial, I don’t think I’ve actually ever seen any tutorials highlighting photoshop’s illustrative qualities.
Wish you luck in your pursuit in the illustration world!
Great walk-through on your process. It makes it look a lot more manageable than just watching a regular speed painting.
really cool video , it’s amazing how some people have the tallent/patience to do a painting like this
This was the most useful thing I’ve ever seen on the site. My style differs from this a lot, but I think I may try to get into this type of design/illustration.
Also, I loved the fact that it was not really a tutorial, but more of advice that can be taken beyond this piece of art.
I would love to see more videos by him.
Amazing.
Hey everyone – thanks so much for all the kind comments.
I’m glad you found the screencast and the commentary useful.
Cheers,
Jonathan
Excellent – very informative! You should do more.
So, here is what he is talking about. And you turned it down a few months ago. Why is that, Or You Don’t like Cheguevara and have problems with komunist or with good work.
so everybody who wants complete tutorial without any layers done before the compete piece vote here.
And the time lapse video is here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1yqXkajpoKA
nice work man… its good technique…
Fantastic!
Great work, Jonathan. I really like the relaxed style. For me, I’d like a few more comments when you change brushes or opacity as it happens just to let me know what’s going on. Overall impression is that it’s very professional; good luck with it and I’ve love to see some more of these
I like the appropriate description if the author of this great tut. Nomadic designer…………..really fits
good luck bro
That was verryyyyy goood….but, if it possible may i got .pdf file or may be upload on internet about this tutorial.
Thanks
Very inspiring, i don’t draw but sure as heck want too now, i hope you do another one of these video guides, i like watching you paint
Even if you had of said nothing at all, your technique spoke volumes, the narration was an added gift…
dude great video! CONGRATS ON THE BABY =D
