How to paint MAGIC LIGHTNING and ELECTRICITY - Art tutorial

Painting magic lightning is an illustrator's delight! Artists who make fantasy or sci-fi will want to learn how to paint electrical currents for one reason or another, so we'll be focusing from the fantasy artist's perspective and OF COURSE we'll be painting this lightning stylized!
Painting lightning, magical or otherwise, is a practice of learning it's behavior as well as how to play with both the light and color of the energy.
I recorded this tutorial live over on my twitch. Feel free to join me every Thursday if you'd like to take part in our live teaching sessions, ask questions, or even make suggestions of what to learn next!

YOU'RE A LIFE SAVIOUR THANK YOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

[@mremoji-df4wm]

this video is underrated, I was looking for lightning magic tutorial but I thought there's no way someone has uploaded such a specific tutorial and yet here you are

[@Gammatrap]

Here I am!

[@altlol8856]

I'm currently making a weapon for someone I admire and I wanted to give it a lightning effect so this definitely helped a ton! Hope my subscribe helps, even if its just a little bit.

[@sqocks8254]

Very nice, thank you for bringing us a new tutorial ❤️

[@Gammatrap]

My pleasure 😊

[@harmoen]

This made me get back into art after a long break

[@PaoloProductions]

I would love to see a tutorial (brief) on creating new character outfits/ making/gathering reference to create high rendered character art!

[@Gammatrap]

Ooo very cool idea!

[@mausimeinsatz729]

You just saved my life with this tutorial. Yet another great one!

[@BusinessWolf1]

Hey, thank you so much for providing these god-sends to us art plebs, and in doing so handing down the torch of digital art to a whole new pantheon of upcoming artists. It doesn't get a lot of views now, but god damn is it good.

[@husnainqasid107]

Thanks a lot buddy
Your laugh made me laugh 😂

[@Ghosty-YT]

Yessss... he posted!
Thanks chief

[@brucenunn3268]

Yes.!

[@scatterbug]

Feels like its been a while. Good to see new stuff.
Fun tip that I don't know if you've covered before: Holding the ` (tilde) key makes whatever brush you are using into an eraser, same size, properties, etc. Way easier than hitting E, realizing you had the wrong brush, picking a NEW brush, re-sizing... 😉

[@Gammatrap]

My hands are just so used to their rhythm by now lmao but I appreciate the tip

[@rohithamanohar9565]

Man, this is cool and all, but I see youtubers do this, and I'm like, " Yeah, I need to try that." But when I try it, it looks like CRAP

[@omz1113]

How do I make an interactive brush like urs????

[@imadjan7518]

How,d you make the brushes go from thin to thick strokes?

[@Gammatrap]

Pen pressure

[@maqi_esse3446]

6:25 Thats what she said😅

[@caileanparis9998]

"jerky, hand motions” lol, I thought this was an art tutorial not JOI

[@Gammatrap]

You've never flicked paint on canvas to make snow? Making jerky hand motions in a direction establishes a bit of randomness in your line. It's part of the technique.

[@caileanparis9998]

@@Gammatrap I was being sarcastic. Lol

[@caileanparis9998]

@@Gammatrap I wasn't suggesting that this is a bad tutorial, its great one, I was joking about the sexual innuendo of 'Jerky, Hand motions' lmfao.
