Why not use the polygon tool instead Jes? Like you can do it at a much faster speed with the polygon. Not sure you already knew of that method.
Thanks ^^ I have a few process .gifs here https://www.artstation.com/artwork/xB6vm
Many hours but it could have been better, have had a few long breaks for painting, you know the everything is shit kind of breaks and you dont paint for a few months. but in the last 2 years-ish, it began to click, now it's just finding the time to actually paint that can be trouble hehe.
Also just letting a painting take the time it need to get done, if it takes a week or something I think its really good for ones process, slow down and enjoy it and listen to a good audio book.
@pixelsnplay Thank you very much ^^ Will finish it at some point for sure, just dont have a timeframe.
Heres the next painting, Wanted a pan across so had to add a bit more on the sides, might need a little more depending on how it works out, and of course some really great drawing over the base 3D render. Don't really have any preliminary sketches for these other than a quick storyboard, so im just making it up as i go.
I am recording the process of painting and will post it here when its done, have not done a painting video in over a year so hopefully it turn out alright.
- added a screenshot with color ^^
It's refreshing to see other peoples' process for creating paintings, eagerly awaiting that video.
Are those 3D elements created directly in photoshop, Blender, or some other 3d software?
I know everybody HATES this question, especially when it says so somewhere on the page the comment is asking it. Been scouring your Youtube and here for the answer. Will be embarrassed if it says it somewhere obvious.
@stealcase think the video will be done sometime next week ^^
No problem, I use C4D - you can get a free student license if you are in a relevant school(design school), they a pretty fast with sending them out as well. but for just blocking a painting out, i'd recommend sketchup, its really fast and easy. Did this city thing in sketch up a while back, just doodling tho it's rendered in c4d. its good fun just flying around the model and finding a neat little spot to paint over
@sanguine @thunderdumpling thanks guys ^^
A little process video for a background painting.
Don't know if it's useful to anyone, but if it is and you will like to see more let my know and i'll try to do more.
@brianhermelijn I would think so, you could just use some cylinders and stuff like that to map out your painting, i tend to just use boxes for everything dont want to get bogged down in details in that part of the process. though I have messed around with some more complicated 3D setups for painting
