That's cool but drawn from life is actually another title with notes from Walt Stanchfield who was the life drawing instructor at Disney. It has 2 volumes and is worth checking out as well. Thanks for the informative video.
"..especially if you're a younger artist starting out, try to avoid social media, and what i mean by avoiding is that, you don't need to post, because it can end up feeling more demotivating than actually uplifting.." this is really helpful, as a small artist i tend to compare myself to others with more followers and likes, and makes me want to stop doing art. but thanks to this, it changed my mindset and now focuses on the improvements that i'm making. thanks!
@@chocolateicecream6995 if i were you, focus on improving before posting things online. but if u want to, then u can but take it as a learning experience instead of competing qith other ppl! goodluck
Exactly, when I reopen my old sketching books I find my drawing awkward 😅 the poses and everything 😂💔 when I was younger I used to think that my drawings were perfect 😌 I wouldn't want to be criticized in order to keep that spirit 😂😂😂👍🏻 our drawings grows as well, so we shouldn't let anyone judge them in that critical time 😅😂👍🏻 keep it up folks
I really appreciate the last bit of the video, when Esben was redoing his hand pose. It really shows that being a pro doesn't mean getting it all right on the first try. Instead it's understanding your piece and making thoughtful decisions.
What staggered me is the fact that the face is off! Like nobody noticed it, but the character had a big bump next to her right eye! But this made me felt that everyone can make tiny mistakes in their drawings, as long as they are unnoticeable, they are good! So for those perfectionists out there, chill out lol!
@@MaryPooping Yep, I was this kind of person as well, finding the littlest thing and bugging on it. The thing is, when you learn to draw anatomy from books, we tend to forget that those books are, in the vast majority, presenting a very white, thin, and fit body ideal. Sure, old school anatomy books are good, but they present bodies that are too perfect for my taste, and completely avoid the variety. They're nice to learn figure drawing and anatomy, but I'll avoid getting too much into the "perfect proportions" and draw every female characters 8 heads tall like Loomis did, etc. In reality, very few people match those standards, and a lot have slightly crooked eyes etc... I didn't noticed a "bump", it looked natural to me, as opposed to pure manga style. The rim light must give you the impression that her right cheek is "bumpy" but if you look at the reference, it works :)
Great content, I just wish there was more talk about the layer organization, how things are added on top of each other and the thought process behind it since I think a lot of digital artists want to know how others are doing with it and compare. Like how would add highlight layer, or merge layers, or fix things after layers are merged, etc. But again, this is superb and I appreciate how he gave away some neat tricks.
don't worry too much about that... I believe it's something very "personal" and you kind of develop it very naturaly, I often see artists using tools like masking layers and honestly I never felt the need to do it and it's just fine
"it's easier just to get started and figure things along the way" "Plan as much as you can but also not let it paralyze you" "If you steer away from the struggles ... then you will never gonna learn" 💯💯
I love his thought process in this video! Thank you for blessing us with content like this for free omg I also love his holistic approach to digital painting, and how the points to be taken from here can also be applied to different disciplines. It also implies being grounded on the foundations and principals of art, which encourages me to study more of them Again, thank you!
So thrilled to see Leyendecker brought into the limelight! If you’ve not seen his actual work at The Museum of American Illustration in Newport, Rhode Island. It’s so worth the visit! Thank you so much!
this is a goldmine of knowledge! so helpful, thank you so much! i love how much he emphasized that mistakes are necessary to improvement, even as a professional. it's really motivating to hear that :)
One of Rasmussen's coworkers, Moby Francke, has been very successful at incorporating Leyendecker into his art for years now. Look up his Team Fortress 2 concept art for good examples.
I always tended to concentrate on the face, areas of most importance. Mainly to convince myself that the piece is going to work. Then I can sort of relax and work on the rest of the work. Also, I can subconsciously still be analyzing the face and make changes here and there. Really enjoying your videos!
Thank you for sharing, your videos have taught me a lot of texture characterization problems that I have been unable to solve before. I am very impressed with your insights on graphics and have benefited a lot.
I just want to say how wonderful this was. So many people were bashing him and he did fantastic. Why tear people down? I just want him to know he did a good job learning from Leyendecker and that he should keep going and keep up the good work. Btw I love how he did the shapes in this.
so, i was watching this and spotify just decided to play "+ONE AND ONLY+" by Cl. The full circle. jajaja Nice masterclass! I love how my fav things (Jett & CL) are in a lecture
Amazing breaking the Leyendecker style into pieces :) I just have to find a way for the texture layer that would look so great in CSP, since I don't use PS. xD
14:20 local color = color unaffected by light/ true color= whatever generic color you think it is doesnt matter too much as later on will adjustit as you refine to make it match lighting's intensity and color
@@bonquva I think it also applies to traditional really, but slightly harder since you have to manually render it out. So planning things out like the lighting first will probably help.
I'm so amazed and in love that you had Esben give us a full step by step tutorial on his art process. He's one of my art idols when it comes to concept and and illustration. Thank you for the videos Proko!
I hate myself for asking this because I usually call people out for it, but what's that chalky brush Esben is using in the early painting stage? I'm an only use three or four brushes on one piece kind of guy, but that brush has an incredible texture to it.
Great digital illustration process, but I was hoping for even more Lyendecker influences for this piece. I guess that’s why they didn’t mention it in the title for the second part.
I am really struggling with rendering and staying loose with my shapes. Big areas are really difficult to fill with shapes, and if I go in and refine all of them it makes the painting look very stiff. I'm not even working with soft opacity yet, because lost and found edges are beyond my skill level at the moment. But the more I'm studying painting the more I'm realizing how little I know about it and it's frustrating.
What brush and opacity did u block silhouette in with. How does it look so even with no opacity differences. No brush strokes at all. She's very beautiful.
Great stuff. Wished you spent just a little time up front to cover Leyendecker's work for us to better understand your approach and goals. Still - really great video. Thanks.
Does anyone have any idea how to replicate that little PS trick he did for achieving brush strokes over the painting; the bevel and emboss with an overlay texture, but in a program like Procreate? I can never seem to get the overlayed canvas texture looking the way I want for a traditional feel
The closest, and what I do, is duplicate something I want to look beveled and that I have separated (like a grainy texture), have the top layer on add, the bottom on multiply, and move it a few pixels to left/right :) (I use procreate!
So we get the equivalent of a quick masterclass in design and illustration process for FREE? I guess 2020 isn't all bad after all. Also, seeing how much he flips his drawing made me realise I'm not doing it nearly enough.
I remember that Proko and Marshall mentioned this solo artist curriculum in a episode of draftmen. m.imgur.com/gallery/EZPc28m basically a guy on reddit did this to help self taught artist to have some structure on their learning. Hope you find it useful
If your brushes keep getting darker as you paint, it's likely the opacity or flow need to be adjusted. That or the layer style (normal vs multiply vs overlay) is set to something that's not "normal"
@@teberikpala7570 Thanks! Does the same apply to the airbrush? Also, would either of you know how to change the shape of the tip of a brush? I have a brush whose edges are square instead of circular when you paint, but the tip of the brush looks circular and it bothers me. Sorry for bothering you I just can't find a way to solve my problem.
Can't seem to find the Frederick Cooper's site. Anyone have a link? This instruction; fantastic on so many levels btw. Edit: Is Esben's last name Lash or Rasmussen?
Thanks Esben! If you missed part 1 you can watch it here - ua-cam.com/video/oMWzv87nCIk/v-deo.html

This, and the first video were fantastic. I learned a lot. Esben is a great teacher and entertaining too. Awesome stuff!
I love that Esben's signature on that Raze drawing (15:33) is also as stylized as Leyendecker.
I'm so thankful that this step by step tutorial is for free this really saved me😊.
Love this series and the very insight for explanation! I love hearing about the thoughts behind each step!

Same here
That Figure Drawing book by Michael Hampton really is incredible. I'm surprised it hasn't been mentioned on the Draftsmen podcast
ooooooh the big-medium-small shapes with color related was just nuts for me :O
Just started taking up digital art recently, Thanks Proko!
After i watch Esben, I always put sound in every work I do.
Eyy love my Jett representation. Btw, this is an amazing video

Thanks a lot Proko! and Esben. Great tips! these studies remind me a bit of the study Court did a few years ago
Thank you so much for this video. I just discovered a simpler way to render without going into hyperrealism

How do you make brushes that keep a consistent value and don't get darker when you paint over it again?
If your brushes keep getting darker as you paint, it's likely the opacity or flow need to be adjusted. That or the layer style (normal vs multiply vs overlay) is set to something that's not "normal"
his layer style is shown at 35:10 !
Turn transfer off in your brush settings and change the opacity

What brush are you using in Photoshop? I am having a hard time finding it.
I have to ask... Is that ear a bit lower than it should be and slightly upfront? Great video but the entire time that ear kinda poke my eye...
Ears sit lower on the head when the head is looking up, and sit higher when looking down :) but I think its a style choice in this case
Yeah it is
