- Let's design and render a creepy organic creature. I'll go through my process of using value edges to create believable musculature, skin and all kinds of fleshy, alien effects.

The Fact that this whole digital creature course is free...
Thanks to your teachings, some of my greatest blocks in digital painting are fading
I'm so glad this was helpful! :)
I’ve watched this video at least 6 times - one of my all time favourites

Love your channel! And UA-cam recommended this to me at the best time, since I went from going back and forth using Krita and PhotoShop.
That's awesome! I'm so glad that you like it. Welcome :)

Thanks...awesome technic for value painting❤
Thank you! Cheers!
"Here's the basic idea."
Alright great! Seems ez.
"Do it over and over a million timea til u git gud."
Ok...😞
Honestly tho ur rendering process shouldnt be new to me but hearing you say your comments about it in a succinct concise manner kinda made all the past digital painting videos ive watched suddenly make sense. Then id be seeing this and that and just trying it out without regard to learning but now i hafta see how it really works cuz ur videos sorta opened my eyes lol. Thx man
So glad that this was helpful!
Thanks for sharing your process, Hardy. It gives great insights. Just one question, how long does it take to you this kind of render?
I would guess this took 3-5 hours including the initial design process.
Just curious about the dark blue and orange underpainting, any insight on the reason for these colors and technique?
How did you make the silhouette have one dark blue color all of a sudden after drawing the body.
any tips to know how certain muscle supposed to looks like ?
damn!
😃
Amazing work as always, Hardy! Just a quick question, do you pull up any reference for the muscle groups or are you painting from imagination because of your medical illustration background?
Hi Robin, I actually just did this from imagination but I have some guiding principles about painting anatomy (real and fictional like this one!) that make this process much easier. I'll be publishing a video on exactly that in the coming weeks.
This was really really helpful but I think Ill need a lot of practice before I nail down the technique 😅
amazing video, thank you very much!!
what the name of ambient at the backgroung playing?
Sorry but I don't remember which stock music library I got this one from. I just opened the camtasia file to take a look (hoping for a track title) but the music is just named "ambient piano" (which doesn't help much!). I wish I could provide specifics.
@@fowlerillus that`s okay, thanks
You have a great vibe in your videos, big respect to you
your voice sounds like ambient too, man ) )
On the part where you are describing the "Paint Job", what are you doing to the layers to glaze in those subtle warm shadow colors? I'm still trying to figure out layer adjustments and blend modes.
That is a multiply layer. I make a selection of the entire silhouette and fill in with a solid color (an orangish brown in this part of the video) I then mask it out and then just selectively reveal it by painting white on the layer mask wherever I want these shadows to appear. The best part is that you can change the color of the multiply layer later in the process. In fact, you can see that I changed it to more of a cyan later in the process. I hope that is helpful!
@@fowlerillus Thanks Hardy! I sort of understand it, just need to practice the masks and using multiply more, especially when adding color. I generally paint characters/creatures exactly like this, and was super inspired by H.R. Giger, and Carlos Huante, especially the way they render the compression and tension of fleshy creatures.
@@BTT16 Cool! Glad that points you in the right direction. Definitely check out Anthony Jones too - great creature art
Any recommendations on learning how to draw organically? Like the muscles etc. Ive been super into your monster concepts and ive attempted one, but uh... it looks like a 5th grader did it during lunch lol. The concept was a space dragon with antlers, between and above each antler resides 3 separate suns. Ranging from purple to whote to blue. The idea is great, the outcome not so much
Perfect timing because we are in creature design week in my Concept Art Academy mentorship. Research is important to make sure that your designs are grounded in reality and relatable as a plausible living breathing organism. After that, the most important factor seems to be the gesture, action line and movement flow that your main shapes create. Trying to find pleasing S curves seems to be a great start for many creatures - like how this weird alien's stance has a subtle S to it. I know it's abstract but seeing these designs as action lines really makes a huge difference
@fowlerillus is there a discord I could join. I tried joining from the link but it just brings me to a free sign up page to something else of yours
Sure! You can join the discord www.digitalpaintingstudio.com/community @@hiimzucky7089
Are you interested in adopting a middle-aged man? lol. Ridiculously amazing as always.
You're amazing, but how do you get the new layer to work (@14:00) by putting it under the value layer -since it's blend is still normal?
Thanks! Glad you liked it. You're right, there are no layer blending modes at work here. Because of the way I apply value (low flow, low opacity with repeated taps of the stylus) it makes the whole layer somewhat transparent so the red hues below show through. It's a great way to modulate skin tones.
@@fowlerillus Thanks!
Great work I know I’m a lil late but what do you use to draw like the software and what do you draw on I want to be able to make paintings similar to these ones thanks a lot for the tutorial!
Hi Lex. I use Photoshop on an iMac with an Intuos Pro but you can get this kind of effect with any popular digital painting app like Procreate or Affinity. It's more about concepts and techniques rather than software technicalities. Definitely check out www.digitalpaintingstudio.com if you're looking for learning resources. If I can ever help, just let me know. Cheers.
Ok thanks I’ll will look into that just I have affinity photo am I able to paint on that?
@@lexrex9736 Unfortunately, I think Affinity Designer is the painting app but I'm not 100% sure.
@@fowlerillus oh ok I’m thinking on buying a Graphics tablet soon, for now I draw digitally with an Apple Pencil on a free app called ibispaintx. Do you have any Recommendations Of some good graphics tablets? And is it possible to draw without having a monitor and just see what your drawing on the graphic tablet itself?
Notification crew, where you at?!!
Great class as always.if possible draw castel.
Be sure to check out Concept Art Architecture www.digitalpaintingstudio.com/p/concept-art-architecture
We do a huge medieval castle project
Hey Hardy, what is the opacity on the brush for the value stage of the creature?
He usually uses 20-30% opacity and flow.
not enough details about set up, no discussion on how the blending is working etc.
