Tutorial: Using a Photo For Background Art
Вставка
- Опубліковано 23 чер 2022
- This is how you can draw better backgrounds for your art by using a photo as a base. It's great for getting a realistic look, or for learning to draw more types of backgrounds and scenes, since it won't be so intimidating as imagining it from scratch.
In this video I am still using my Huion Kamvas Pro 24 (4k) that I previously made a video about, and Clip Studio Paint for the art. Photoshop was used for a few parts as well.

I've seen too many anime paintings with these hyper realistic back/foregrounds and I always found myself feeling inadequate about my own attempts at hand drawing them. It was always like "Wow that person's SO much better than me, I'd get passed on by literally everybody if I were next to them". But I gotta remind myself that it's totally ok to use this method, and even encouraged in some sectors of concept art. Film and game artists use this technique all the time to composite their concept art.
Everybody seem to forgot that Makoto Shinkai used irl locations for his movies maybe because doing it is cheap, faster, and adds realism to the overall feels of the movie. If you watched "Your Name" you know what I'm saying.
Another example that comes to mind is Haikyuu. The studio that animated it also used irl location as a reference.
Familiar feeling. Then I stumbled across a nature photographers stunning piece of a misty road across fields, saw in my head my character in it and bought the picture. The photographer was exited to see the result and I have been struggling to find how to change a photo into painting. This tutorial came perfectly before I just give up.
@@stray8876What about Drifting Home? Did they also use this technique because their backgrounds looks realistic
Ahhh i always get so afraid to use photo for drawings bc i feel like im not original enough y'know? But seeing that this type of thing is normal makes me relaxed and encouraged to start using photos study's!!! Ty 💋💋❤️❤️❤️ also love ur art!!!
Same 😭
As long as it's free stock photos or the ones you take by yourself with your own camera, or stuff you got from your art team. Make sure of the source first (the rights to use it) before deciding to use them.
There's nothing original in this world, everything has an inspiration from a precessor
@@KenSan1414 You're disrespectful to the artists that spent their whole life creating something original.
@@awman698 Bullshit everyone should get their worldview shaken from time to time, if you can't take it then you're not cut for people to look at your work and critique it yet. Though shit if that statement offends you but it's true, and as an artist, I find that statement relaxing. I don't have to enslave myself thinking about the most unique original piece ever created, I can just create whatever comes to mind and it will be fine, it will amount to the same because I worked hard on it. And hell maybe the familiarity might attract people to it too.
Right now we got so many artists the market is utterly saturated so even if you manage to create something completely "original" it might mean nothing if you're the only one seeing it, so the trick is to not overwork yourself trying to create the next Mona Lisa... But you might take inspiration from past artists that you like and do you own thing, your own personal take on the very unique concept of a 3/4 angle portrait.
Wow. How original...
You are a literal godsend! I've always wondered how this specific type of photobashing was implemented, what with all those super skilled artists on twitter doing highly realistic bg work. I'm now inspired to put all of this to practice immediately, thank you so much!
My thoughts exactly! She also breaks it down nicely, I’ve tried photo-bashing a few times but they always looked like lousy cut out jobs I crudely slapped my character into.
Didn't expect to bump into the artist of artworks that I love.
I've always loved anime drawings with realistic lighting. More than the colour & lighting, it is the choice of scenery that really expresses the artist's feelings towards art.
you don't stop amazing me with your skills, thank you for sharing your knowledge with us! ;w;
Its actually anny what
Ok what
@@tShuka_ dude what?
its the real anny XD
PogU
Oh wow i have been seeing alot of realistic arts like the background like this for a while now, and have been thinking if its hand drawn or like 3d art or something i have been wondering how it was done. But now that i knew its really cool to think that it’s actually using real photos for their backgrounds.
successfully photobashing is definitely a skill of its own! sometimes i end up drawing my own background because i couldn’t use this method correctly. this video is really helpful for learning that! thank you :D
The hard one using real photo as background for art drawing is, to merged it so smoothly and balanced... this tutorial is great and not everyone can do it... i love this knowledge share...
The calming music, calming voice, calming painting. 10/10 great video 😆✨. Thank you so much for sharing your process, always love these kinds of videos.
A recommendation for the image in background… usually enabling HDR in camera app makes the image look lot better when there are under or overexposed areas
(Or using exposure {}bracketing if more advanced but requires an camera app for phone because usually built-in doesn't have it.)
This is a bit of a false notion, especially with art. Lighting plays a a huge roll in composition, and as such we should control it to make use of it for the end result. By using HDR, you’re deciding not to commit to an exposure structure. The posture shifts because that’s how light works in sensors - too much light means you have to compensate and shift your values down across the board in orrr to see it. It’s beneficial to have proper exposure, and an often-taught fundamental for painters - put your details in the light, or in the shadow, but not in both. Because this is representative of how our eyes actually work, rather than digital high dynamic range.
HDR has a specific look, and it’s good in its use case - environmental photography. But for artists, where we’re typically aiming to set a mood or emphasize a focal point, often with lighting? I
ot recommended
@@AlexHuneycutt HDR is good to preserve texture and details and it usually makes the light look more like what human eye actually see.
what the hell are you talking about?
@@AlexHuneycutt I hope you didn't take it badly from me, If so I am sorry
But my personal experience with the 3 phones that I had more often than not was that shadows were underexposed and sky/clouds/etc were overexposed amd the photo felt desaturated whilst HDR or the photoediting+expo{} preserved the colour saturation and showed better "real look" and feel of it.
Finding your channel so suddenly is such a blessing! Your thechniques, art and voice are so lovely! I definatley thought about this thechnique for traditional art, but using photos, magazine or news paper pictures! You've motivated me to finally try it!
bless the algorithm for bringing me this video and bless you even more for making it! Every piece of information is extremely useful. I've been trying to hand paint backgrounds for years, and have only started playing around with photos. The difference is insane, and with the paint-over, it gives a beautiful result that makes the character fit in perfectly and creates a realistic vibe to the whole picture. Thank you so much for the video and the book recomendation. New subscriber!
10 seconds in and I'm already a fan of your art.
I've actually noticed some of my fav artists that I follow or see on my Twitter who uses this technique, and I actually wanna try it now. Especially because I'm horrible in making backgrounds, I have no clue what to do for backgrounds so this definitely helped. :"""") thanks for the tutorial! Your art is very pretty ❤️
Me tooo, the only thing that is holding me back is getting called a cheater, even though i know its not, its still scary
@@cengkirwaskita8511 yeahhh :") but if it's you who's taking the picture from your own house or place then that too me is enough to put me at ease and makes me feel comfortable because it's from my area so ik it isn't cheating. It's big brain to make life easier
I love your illustrations so much, particularly how well you do foliage and greenery. If you make a tutorial on it, that would be so so so great!!
Hey, I'm not her, but a good rule of thumb is to start with an average dark value and paint in bigger shapes, then break them down into smaller forms. You can communicate a surprising amount with just two colors in this regard, too :) I recommend a video by moderndayjames on digital painting (it helps understand what people like Bob Ross are doing), I'd link it but I don't wanna come off as a bot LOL
i've always loved realistic style, but also feel drawn to the simple anime drawings. this has been really helpful on the road to finding my style.
This is really impressive, kinda wanna try it. Thanks for the book reccomendation, i always struggle with colors.
I really don't see why some put a problem using this type of technique, not all artists are going to master the art 100%, and any help is good, in addition to having this type of help, with time little by little you will learn from this , as well as artists using models to make bases and play with perspectives, it's more like putting on training wheels and then being able to ride a bike without them.
Not knowing everything is okay, and needing help is even better.
Great video, I really liked the drawing, it's very cute.
another really good technique is using the sims (custom content or base) to create your characters house/environment
Underrated
great idea much better than building everything on blender
You can also build environments in Minecraft and use them as a base!
with paralives coming out it might be extra pleasant to create your own scenes because they have advanced object placing, stacking, transforming and colour wheels in base game right when it releases : )
yesterday I found this art on my twitter, this is the art you made? wow yesterday I immediately fell in love with this art, and now I will become your fan.
this video is so random i meant random youtube recommendation but DAMN her arts are something of a masterpiece truly beautiful
i know i am bat at arts but i love seeing beautiful arts this is a must to subscribe
Incredible information you’ve shared here. A simple idea with so much practicality. I will definitely be keeping this video in mind for future work.
We got a low key photography tutorial lol, I love it
your voice is something so good to hear that calms the deepest level of the soul, I love your videos
Just enjoy the process in this video and listen to her useful tips.
As she mentioned "its up to your preference"
Whether u are a digital artist or not, wanna use ref or not, photobash/overpaint or not, its entirely up to you & your workflow
This video came up in my recommendations, I was thinking of doing a technique like this and your guide is so good, also the art is gorgeous as well! thank you for the guide!
Maybe it’s because I’m tired for standing for 12 hrs at work but you have such a relaxing voice. Good video! Great art too
bruh this just opened my eyes
Beautiful! You're spot-on with showing how the character can be drawn to look in place by receiving the same lighting as the rest of the scene.
The only thing I would add is that, your character - Miss Elf, is reflecting a ton of light. See how the tablecloth is pretty much the same color as her shirt, and it under-lights the wall behind it?
Having areas of soft light on the wall near her arm and hair would further sell their presence in the composition.
Having her give light back to the environment is the only way I can think of to improve this; you've even taken the shadows into account with her chair's armrest! I love it so much! 😁
She's a vampire! Her reflection isn't in the window on the chair xD Thank you for the extremely valuable lesson~ I learnt a LOT.
i never knew an art video would motivate me to clean my room!!
Aaaaaaawwwwwwwwww, thank you so much for sharing this!!
I tend to overanalyze stuff and follow boring and structured drawrings, so the tip about winging it on what looks best was really nice to hear ✨
This is such a cool idea. I've seen people do this before but I never tried it myself, after watching this I'm definitely going to give it a shot!
Sunako, it's such a pleasure to listen to your voice! So clean, clear and friendly! And the video overall is super inspiring!
I was thinking about doing this for study.
It should help a lot with realistic rendering and spatial awareness (perspective).
Just seeing your art b4 I watched the video made me like and subscribe
I’ve been doing this for over a year and I thought I was the only one, I’m glad to see someone else does this. I used to feel bad about it because I felt like it was cheating but I realized it’s not because a lot of Japanese manga artists do it. I took photos of my childhood areas and draw my oc there. Like my profile picture :)
Thank you for this. I like how you explained it, its easy listening. You clearly know what you are doing, I will try to paint this way!!
Your art is so beautiful!!!!! I cry when I think how much work you have put in to develop your skills!! I wish you all the best!
THE FUTURE IS NOW, TRADITIONAL ARTISTS!
Interesting technique. I constantly use photos as references, but I've never thought of using them as part of the artwork itself. I might try it out
Wow I like this. very beautiful
It's like the gates of art have opened to me. Man I was in such a dour mood about my art but this is attempting to restart my motivation.
Ayy another marco bucci enjoyer
Actually impressive shading work indeed.
Holy mother of god your drawings are gorgeous.
めっちゃかわいい!!
God, I'm glad I finally understood how to do it... For a very long time I thought about the creation of these backgrounds.
Glad you didn't removed me and instead you drew me awesomely!
I've seen some bits of this art on twitter and wondered how did they done this nearly-realistic background. This video came in my recommendations giving this very great tips to make this kind of art, so I'm thanking you for telling with this wonderful example how it is made.
People who gets salty over using techniques to create art.. just remember that as consumers, we just like or purchase any art that “wow” us. We don’t care how you made it, as long as it catches our eyes. Refining your art style takes many years to achieve even if you “cheat”. I am a cgi artist and I use ANY technology or method I can find in the market to render or generate my art.
this is such a great way to practice drawing characters with different lightings wow
Great work and a stunning idea!
I Feels like I'm inside your art 😭❤
정말 감사합니다!!
This technique is also really useful for learning to draw backgrounds from scratch. If you practice art with photobashing, you will learn to make a character fit in and to work with angles you wouldn't normally pick without going out of your comfort zone.
An artist's trait is that he/she should be humble enough to use these techniques. Everything is literally an inspiration from our eyes so you do not just base your pure skill/talent from imagination only, it has to work both so you can create your vision to reality and execute it well. just slapping a reference and tracing it is for practice, but applying own techniques to references will bring great artworks. Just like pokemons are inspired from real life creatures, or how vincent van gogh has his sunflowers yet applies his own technique/flair
I saw yours art on Twitter this other day and darn it I don't how to express it, but
It felt so much Refresing just watching your art and artstyle 😆
In my view, I feel this is a procrastination in BG study, but honestly, it depends a lot on the situation, if the person is short of time to deliver the art, ok fine to use this technique, what I find harmful is someone who uses this type of technique out of laziness to learn how to build scenarios (I apologize if my English is not so good, I still learning this language)
En oo koskaan nähny suomalaista animetaiteilijaa, ihan mahtava motivaation lähde.
an alternative for bluetooth shutter is a pair of headphones or earbuds with a button that you can press, which will also take the photo
there will be a big ol cord in frame if you don't hide it tho
I saw the first 10 seconds of this video and instantly subscribed, your art is sooo pretty ❤
ive been thinking of using real photos as backgrounds recently, and this video really helped! it's easy to understand and i know where to start now. thank you very much! :D
진심으로 너무 많은 도움이 됐습니다! 이렇게 친절하고 세세하게 알려주는 영상은 처음 입니다. 감동입니다 🥺💖 항상 행복하세요!
This is god tier content
beautiful, beautiful, and simply beautiful.
gives u a big smooch
THANK YOU SO MUCH
you are a lifesaver
Alright now I all need is to learn how to hold my pencil and draw stuff
Very awesome use of reference. The result is astonishing.
Oh so that's how it's done, I've searching for this exact technique for a while now
this is my favourite art video ever on UA-cam now, thank you for the amazing informations!
ah this makes me relaxed I like your art very much.
OMG, I CAN'T IMAGINE I FOUND MY FAVORITE PICTURE'S AUTHOR BY UA-cam RECOMMENDATION
Beautiful! Love your videos. I could meditate to your voice 😁
Holy hell, This is the most helpful thing I've seen it today
Sunako you are so great and underrated i hope you will get the fame u deserve💖💖💖
You’ve really mastered digital 😳😳❤️
So true! I also think about this technique before. I hope I could paint again, got busy on other stuff. 😆 Your had a splendid work! Love it! ♥️
Amazing Video! Thank you for your work! 💚
What a stunning work of art!
Thanks Sunako this is amazing, I love your art style.
Everything works perfectly
Very interesting by using real photo for your artworks, Great tutorial!
Ooh, your way of drawing your character is pretty neat. Might try it one day!
OMG TYSM FOR THISSS!! I've always struggled creating backrounds for my drawing and now I can actually try and do it!! tysm!!
I mute it and just watch you make your art while listening to music, and when I re-watch it un-muted, I thought you were a boy, HAHA cool art! I realy love it❤
This was pretty helpful, thank you and God bless you and everyone else
Work smarter not harder
People forget that art isn’t always just one way. It’s ridiculous especially when people who don’t even do art would say something like this is “cheating”. What about art makes it art?
Thanks, this video help me so much,
God bless you.
I was wondering how other artists have been using realistic backgrounds recently for art and this showed up 😮
I was thinking these days about learning this. Thank you very much...
Oh my gosh thank you!! I'll definitely be using this method!! Been struggling like crazy to draw backgrounds 😵
WOW you made the character fit so well into the picture and made the bg have a balance of realism and art!it blended so well i thought you drew the entire thing😆
Yo, this is cool and everything but are We really going to ignore how amazing and cozy her place looks? :O
Gosh thank you so much for this. This is EXACTLY what I was looking for at the moment!
Ive always wondered how some artist achieve this, makes me a lot more excited on doing art and trying to convey whats in my mind!
Thank you so much for this! Very helpful! orz
Ah this is so useful, thank you! I'd like to try this with some 3D bg as well eventually.
Love your videos! Thanks for the book recommendation!
I LOVE DOING THIS!
