Fly high, conquer and paint

BartekM · Oct '16

Hi, my name is Bartek and I'm beginner digital artist. I'm using Photoshop for 5 or 6 years, mainly for my personal projects and photo manipulations. I bought a graphic pad 7 months ago. Also from that time I began to learn how to draw and what are art fundamentals. My mains knowledge sources are 3D total books ( Art Fundamentals, Digital art master and soon Digital painting technique volume 8 & 6 ) and YouTube videos. Here I want to share my progress. And my plan is to post one finish work per week. So I hope that someone will enjoy my work and maybe can share some knowledge with me.
Peace

Nice thumbnail. It's pretty simplistic, but I like the little hints of architecture and human occupation. consider making the glass dome though of the canopy a bit more rounded or sharp. Right now it's sort of in between and comes across as a bit unnatural. (I'm talking about where the dome meets the building, not where the dome meets the sky/background.) You could also use a little more fog/atmosphere/light from the crevice between the foreground pointed stone and the lower stone background that the building is built on top of, to give it a further depth.

I absolutely love your rocks though! And the whole composition, although simple, carries with it everything it needs. You'll do fine here

Hey, thanks for replay I will certainly try to use this fog/atmosphere/light trick, depth is a little problematic to me. Also I see now that unnatural glass effect, so really thanks for advices. I hope that you will like my next works too

I love the atmospheric fog on these

I had a lot of problems with this piece, but It's finally over.

Where is the lighting coming from? The lighting on all the rest of the rocks/mountains don't feel as though it matches the spotlight's source.

BartekM · Oct '16

Well, you are right. I wanted to draw something with very cloudy sky but whole image was too dark, so I added this light beam at the end. Overall, while working on this project I didn't think too much about lighting.

BartekM · Oct '16

Well, I really have to work on my shading and lighting skills. And I still don't understate how values works

After long time of practice and reading books about digital paintings techniques. I'm ready to show you my finished piece. I'm really proud. And I'm hope that you will like it.

Nicely done, this last painting. Pretty cool atmosphere.

BartekM · Jan '17

Some values and brushes practice. This time I was trying to focus on lighting and color.

Nice stuff in here!

If I could give one critique, it would be I think your darks tend to be just a bit too dark.

Just my two cents! Keep up the hard work man!

In this one I was trying to create more dynamic scene and ad some story.

BartekM · May '17

So, for last few months I was learning 3D modeling. My workflow was Maya, Substance Painter 2 and Marmoset Toolbag 3. I had to learn a lot. And it was really challenging for me. But now I want to show my latest work. C&C are more than welcome!

This is my first scene made in Unreal Engine. My main goal was to create scene using modular workflow and learn more technical aspects of this engine like: shadows and types of lighting. All props was made and texture by me.
