Custom Shapes Speed Painting
Вставка
- Опубліковано 1 тра 2017
- I’ve been playing around further with using Custom Shapes in Photoshop. Some of the videos I’ve posted online had a positive reception, but I was asked how do I go about adding colour to the designs. So, I’ve made a quick environment piece to show how, when using photos/textures you can quickly add colour to a design. I hope you find it useful.
If you’re interested in following my work, please check out the links below.
Cheers!

13:03 Goshhhh :) I died
Your work is fantastic and I really enjoy your videos. I've really enjoyed using custom shapes in my work. Thank you David.
Absolutely amazing!
Wow... really amazing. looking forward to see more
Thanks Dennis!
This is Awesome stuff! Love this technique
Really great stuff!
the amount of layers is insane
this is awesome, do you have a tutorial on how to create those textures? I'm assuming you've extracted them from an image?
This is amazing !
Amazing painting man. One tip though: I think that you should make the silhouette of the big rocks a bit more rough. The edge where the rocks meet the sky is too smooth. Make it more rough and it will look more realistic.
Hermoso resultado... Felicidades y Gracias por compartir el proceso.
Beautiful!!!
Great idea using shapes like that
AMAZING! Thanks for sharing :D
Fantastic! thanks for sharing.
Thanks Marco!
awesome man!!!
where did you get the brushes for the mountain textures? would you do a tutorial on how you create those rocky patterns?
awesome work!!
that was awesome bro :)
Hahaha 13:05 lmao :D great work m8 keep it up, + 1sub
Ha thanks! It's much appreciated
Dying xDD
Muito bom, parabéns 👏👏👏
Nice work Man :)
Cheers mate!
I found this video on Artstation. Really interesting workflow. I always struggle with getting nice texture and detail in my work but this seems like a really smart way of adding both to your painting. One question though. It would seem to me that it can get quite chaotic with so many layers, especially because most don't have a name. How do you keep order in your scene? How do you keep track of everything?
Hi there. In answer to your question, no I don't really have a trick for keeping track of layers - I just kind of know where things are (though I do sometimes get lost). When I first started digital painting, I religiously renamed my layers so I could find things. But, for my own personal work, I eventually found this to be a waste of time. I use lot's textures, merge down layers fairly often, delete ones that don't work - constantly renaming them all was really time consuming. If I'm providing work for a client, I'll label the layers as and where they need it. Sometime's I'll group things sensibly (foreground, mid ground, background, sky, floor etc.) so I can find certain things quicker. Or, in Photoshop, you can change the colour of the layer and find thing's quickly visually. But that's about all I use.
really enjoyed this video. it looks really good. I do have a question though. when you started adding color, how did you make parts of the picture transparent?
I played around with different Layer Properties in Photoshop - I used Lighten and Darken quite a lot in this image. Play around with them, you get different kinds of results
Thanks. I'll give it a shot!
how do you get your cloud brush to look so thick with paint? Nice stuff man
wow
Lovely art work! I was curious though. Custom shapes? Did you make the textures that you wrapped around each shape?
Hey, thanks for the comment. It's a mix. Some of the shapes come from sketchy paintings made in photoshop. A good chunk of them also come photos. If you check out websites like Photobash.org, you can purchase photo packs and extract certain areas (rock texture, plants, shrubbery, buildings, whatever you want) and use them for the custom shape. It's a useful technique :)
if i have to say it looked really cool when you were using the custom shapes to base an environment off of I thought it was really cool, but then i thought it was to build upon because then it just starts being a series of photo overlays which just ruins it
Fantastic workflow leading to great final piece as always David! Any chance you could share your shapes on the blackboard like you did with brushes? Thanks. I'm on a first year concept art.
Sup mr Teemo, mind if I ask you where are you studying and what exactly?
I am currently studying Concept Art at Teesside University.
4 years of concept art at Uni? Fuck thats the dream, all I have are 1 year "masters" here in Spain, and all are quite crappy. What do you pay a year? (Urge to move increasing haha)
I suggest you to have a look at the uni website. All the info will be there :)
www.tees.ac.uk/undergraduate_courses/Computer_Games/BA_(Hons)_Concept_Art.cfm
There is also a Masters course.
Thanks a lot for the info! Appreciate it :)
Oh dear David, please, have you some tips where to find rock brushes you used for this work? Thank you very much and keep it up an amazing work!!
Thanks for the comment Viktor. The majority of custom shapes I use, I created my self. But you can purchase some different packs form various artist online. Check out Sparth and Long Pham for their custom shapes.
Thank you!!
I have a rather stupid question but what is the font you have in the begining of the video?
No problem - it's called 'DIN Condensed'
Bebas Neue
what kind of images did you get those shapes from?
I'm sharing what I do but. I look for a high res picture of mountains, canyons, rocks,... put them in monochrome 2 samples (so black and white no grays, however sometimes having a couple gray values helps) and then just delete either the black or white part. Then save as shape.
@@jashelps cheers thanks for the info! I think I got pretty close then back when I was trying this out.
Impressive, it acutally reminds me of Apex Legends's map "King's Canyon".
Hey man, do you have any tutorials??
13:08 lol
Where did you get those shapes from?
Ok. Where can I get these custom brushes? Why there isn't link to them ?
This image was mainly made from custom shapes, is that what you're looking for? And, sorry, the majority of them I made myself and they're not available online. Certain artists such as Sparth and Long Pham have some packs available on their gumroad accounts.
13:00 lol xD
can u pass ur shapes for download pls?
looks good, but is it really speed 'painting' when you're using photographs to actually create the textures and colors? Looks more like speed cut-pasting
what is name of brush?
This image was mainly made from custom shapes, is that what you mean?
where can i find these shapes??
why you didn't let this guy pee ??? that would be awesome a good landscape like this with a guy peeing on it xD anyway i liked your process, i'm "good" at painting characters, it's what i like to do, but everytime i hate what i do because my background looks always stupid, i don't like painting landscape and background, i am very bad at this, i don't know if i don't like it because i'm bad or i'm bad because i don't like it... but anyway i really want to get better at this ! Some people say that doing a portrait is more difficult because if one eye is at the wrong place, you'll loss the likeness and it's gonna looks weird, for a landscape, it doesn't matter if one tree is at the right or the left, it makes things easier. i think it's true but landscape is another kind of difficultie that i can't explain. and your video inspired me, a real time painting with comment would be cool !
Thanks for the comment. Haha, it was very tempting to leave the guy peeing in this image - but I'm not sure it would have worked overall.
I think artists gravitate to certain areas of design because they find different things more natural to them. No matter what you're working with, it all comes down to practise. So stick with it. It'll take time, but it'll also be worth it :)
Although I am one that likes painting details manually, this technique surely is fast and the results are very good! thanks for sharing
13 02 hajajjaajajjj brother you pass😂😂😂😂
Idk if you even still read these comments on a 3 year old video, but I'd like to make a suggestion..
It'd be really awesome if you could do tiny animations of this painting..
Like the guy could be off frame and then walk to the edge of the cliff etc. Maybe the sun appears afterwards etc.
It's really easy to do in photoshop as it's just playing with opacity levels and setting a key frame. Photoshop even adds in the middle frames if you just set 1 start place. Move the guy to the end, set an end place.
I thought that would bring these pieces you make to a little higher level. You're doing great man I'd like to try these custom shapes. 💪❤
can i have the brush? hehe
giv me the brush set pls~~~~~~~~~
MAYBE NOT HAHAHA
really tedious music
wouldn't call this painting. more like a collage. rocks look disconnected from the scene because nothing is sculpted here. stuff is just pasted in.
