Haha 😅 i though i was the only one, at the beginning of most of his videos I’m focused and learning and then kinda sleepy but so much good info and tips every single second
This kind of video is incredible. I've always wanted to have a real teacher for art because I have trouble applying what I learn from online resources. But your stuff teaches me so much and I'll always be grateful for people who put this kind of high quality content out there, especially for free
When I look for value shapes the mighty pallet knife filter REALLY helps out. Kinda just stumbled on it by messing around. Now I try to use it every time I do value study. As always great video.
Cool video! There's not enough content of professionals talking through how they do their own studies and their thought processes. Lately I've looking at Matisse for shape design and WLOP& Caravaggio for lighting!
I have a question: do you ever feel like the 'power level' in the art world has increased by a staggering amount in the past ten years? Ten years ago, when you uploaded your first 'digital painting' video, people were wowed even by those early attempts, Sinix was having success with his landscape paintings and so on, but today the bar where you have something to offer seems to be much, much higher. It seems to me that Craig Mullins is extraordinary because he's a pioneer, one of the first who showed the potential of digital painting, but *today* the fundamentals he uses are more or less commonplace. I don't see anything extraordinary about that particular Mullins portrait - your technical level along that dimension is probably better than his, even. It's like how the original iphone was amazingly innovative, but today there's no real reason to glorify the modern iterations when other smartphones have similar capabilities.
i really luv ur way of analyzing and understanding things,, the bootcamp ure going to do, is it going to be jus temporary, like right now or is it going to be left to be purchased at another time? i would looov to do it but id't think i can right naaw
The best trick is to not think of the subject in terms of shapes, but in terms of head, eyebrow, eye, cornea, suspensory ligament of lens, cells, atoms and the 6 types of quarks. This is how the painter views the world. Last but not least, do not treat what you read on the internets as merely information, no, treat it as something you know to be true. Yes, have a cigar, ride the gravy train.
if you retitle this as "Craig Mullins portraits technique analyzed and tested", it might get interesting algorithmically and comments gonna pour, all sweet, salty and sour!
FOR GOD'S sake, just copy the markings as a CTRL +SHIFT+ C or use the magic wand to grab all that you need before you go back in history because you made the mistake of doing everything on one layer!!! DUDE!
I loved how you used a bow tie to construct the face :'D
Your trick of using simple shapes to show light constuction etc is so helpfull
pro trick: you can watch series on kaldrostream. I've been using it for watching all kinds of movies recently.
@Westley Archer Yup, I've been using Kaldrostream for since december myself =)

Ahmed explains his works as if he's cooking, talking about all the ingredients and all, and I love it! 😭❤️

Learning HOW to study is so helpful and it's so nice seeing you do it. It helps us
Mullins is an absolute master of pringling, really elevates his pieces above the rest

Time to "face" the portraits, i was too scared of them, thank you for your wisdom Ahmed ^_^

There is no such thing as advanced drawing. Its all application of the fundamentals.

@Alfonso The Lie Weaver You don’t know and feels like pretty much sums it up. Have a cigar, you are going to go far.

Adobe sensei AI should be smart enough to warn us if we are working on a pasted or FULL pixel layer which normally a pasted or imported picture is.
