Using the fill layer with blend if was a brilliant way to demonstrate it’s power!! 💪🏻

[@conceptual_ink]

Yep there are tons of efficient ways to use Blend If!

[@TyrellzArt]

I forgot all about this setting 😆Looking forward to the future videos!

Hi Nia Tora) when will there be new videos on your channel? we miss hour and 30 minutes videos! with detailed explanations and ideas, your approach was very cool emotional and real, we want more videos! but you stopped them it's very sad. Please tell us more, you are a very good artist! we love you and your content. It's really great that you started releasing again, hopefully the videos will come out more often.

Aw I’m so sorry, life has been very hectic with work and I’m handling multiple projects at the moment but I will definitely be putting out more videos in the future 🤞thanks for your continued support ❤

Great vid, would like to maybe see, your process of bringing models over from blender. How much detail/color there is to begin with / how many of the props are modeled and to what level of detail, and then your standards and practices like these for doing quick paintover setups. Maybe examples in different contexts if there are any differences, between interior/exterior/landscape/vehicle design or whatever. Thanks for the vids!

[@manassehh]

+1!!

[@conceptual_ink]

Sure, thanks for your suggestions!

[@conceptual_ink]

Let us know what other concept art workflow questions y'all have! :D

[@wolfganggager5110]

Hi! Thank you for your videos!
I would be interested to know how you manage your layers and clipping masks in Photoshop or ClipStudio.
Because I think I use too many or too few of them.

[@a-carvalho8751]

Will have to try it! Even on another software, it's too powerful to miss out

[@michaelkelly60]

Another fab vid - Blend of grey is one of those tools that keeps me coming back to PS. I really wish other painting programs would develop equivalents!! I look forward to the next vid!! 😊

[@conceptual_ink]

Same for us! Thanks for watching :)

Probably asking for alot, but have you guys ever considered doing individual videos where you guys show your entire process of making a full body of work and splitting it to multiple parts of videos. Just like to learn through how you guys engage in your own personal workflow. I know alot of artists do this anyways but you guys actually show some key concepts or povs that help artists breach another threshold.
You guys are probably busy with alot of other stuff esp tutoring and your own businesses but i just thought itd be cool.

[@conceptual_ink]

Yep will definitely be sharing more process related videos! Stay tuned :)

Optimal 2-3 hrs 😅

[@Amylrun]

it took me more than 10 years to realize this thing existed lol, and I recently learned about that Knockout parameter in the same window, it can be used to erase or mask multiple layer under it. it can be pretty useful in some rare cases.

[@conceptual_ink]

Interesting we will definitely check it out :)
