For non-Adobe users, how would you adapt this in your program? 🤔
I use references and use some textures… just winging it on paint tool Sai 😂
On clip studio paint, there is no smart blur. However, you can go to Filter > Effect > Artistic and you can do a similar effect. It also has an effect for adding/creating lineart out of the colours. You can do colours only, lineart only, or both
So how is photobashing in that program similar or different?
Thanks for that direction for all CSP users! 😁
@@SajiriArtWas wondering about this. Thank you for the info! 😄
I needed this, my characters are tired of the void
Awesome! What kinds of backgrounds do you want to try to make with this procedure?
This was super interesting, thanks for posting. I pretty much exclusively do photo manipulation with a bit of digital overpainting but I want to learn more digital painting so this was really inspiring. Would love to see more like this.
Thanks and I’m glad you found this helpful! What kind of project do you want to try this out on?
Thanks so much for this tutorial! It's very helpful. I've literally searched about this recently and I only find videos where they only do timelapse of the drawing but they don't thoroughly explain what they do.
Will definitely apply this on my next artworks.
So happy to see you enjoyed this! Do you have a piece or two in mind you want to apply this to?
@@TheArtMentor I have this Dragonlance DnD commission so I'm thinking of applying this to draw the background which is a cavern. I'm really excited!
@MharzCreative that’s a great application! Have you ever tried to phototexture characters like that too?
@@TheArtMentor I"m thinking I can apply it for creatures with scales or texturing some fabric. It's quite helpful I have to say.
@MharzCreative heck yeah! I do that all the time. I’m currently going back to some old pieces to apply this to right now. Ever try that?
I vaguely understood photo bashing but it's so helpful to see the steps of the process clearly laid out! Thank you! I tend to find backgrounds overwhelming and this will be a great tool to start them out. It will still take skills I'll have to learn but it will feel a lot more manageable this way, just have to learn to do this process in krita.
Have you used blender to build backgrounds and paint over? I've heard that's a really good tool to learn things and save time as well and it's something I plan to learn when I can get a new computer. (Mine is on the brink so for now I'm doing what I can with a basic tablet but at least I can still create)
If you ever do something like that I would love to see your process on it.
Thank you for these helpful tips! I really look forward to trying them out
Definitely looking forward to seeing how it goes for you! Please share how this can be modified for krita, would you? I bet others would love to know too!
For 3D, I haven’t used blender, but I plan to some time!
@@TheArtMentor I definitely will! Might see if I can get my computer back up and running because as much as I love krita the app version is pretty much a direct port of the PC version and some things aren't as easy to do with it while using a tablet.
If I can get that working and figure out how to transfer these steps to krita I would love to share that process for people.
@SavMortem please do! And enjoy yourself doing it 😁
This is very helpful. I'm okay with painting basic backgrounds from scratch but as I get good at my main subject paintings I see those backgrounds now stand out like a swore thumb. The advice here might really help with that. Very glad I subscribed.
Yeah definitely share your results with me! Are you on Instagram? Tag me in your art when you try this 👍
What do you think about using AI art instead of photos for photobashing? (Assuming the ethical issue of it being trained on stolen work was sorted out).
I don’t recommend it. Those already have copyright issues, and you would lose ownership of the image, or at the worst be sued. Is it worth it when you can use tons of websites like the two I recommend? There are plenty more
I do have masks in my program, but I like to either clip the image or erase the part I dont need.
Those can work too, just make sure they’re able to be edited, okay? 👌 what program are you working with?
@@TheArtMentor medibang, it has the layer modes, masks. Curve adjustment (i use it to change colors as if I have gradient maps, by using the colors seperately.) It's a decent free drawing program.
Okay I see. Does it have layer masks? I would think it does, as most do
This is interesting...I don't think I'll use this tip, since when I do my backgrounds, I have very specific needs. The background is as important as the character, in many scenes I draw. Although, it'll be interesting for textures, were it will save a lot of time if I have the overall layout design and just need texture. Mainly because I do art for funzies, as a historian and as a worldbuilder. I also want to get better at drawing non-human stuff.
Have you seen my other paintovers as well on my channel? I mostly use photobashing to add to my drawn art rather than composing it from scratch, similar to the second example in this video. Have you ever tried that?
@@TheArtMentor No...I think it's very interesting.
It’s great! Try it and tell me how it goes 😁
Smart Blur blew my mind! No longer will I have to paint over every pixel of the stock photos! 🥹✨🌈👏👏👏
Yeah it’s crazy useful, right ?! What’s been your experience with photobashing prior to this?
@@TheArtMentor honestly not too much, I've only done maybe three projects that involved photobashing. I tend to paint over a lot of details anyway. But I hope to practice the technique more for concept art, and definitely try out the smart blur.
@zinzolin14 have fun and share it with me when you do!
