Gandalf Breakdown and Tips

Here's another little breakdown of an illustration I finished a few days ago.

Value Grouping 

When doing an image, the value range of each object or plan is within...

Focal Points ad Infinitum

Figured I'd share another example of being clear about your focal points. Remember, think in terms of contrast sliders- you've got value, shape and color and you can have more or less of each, but ...

Wizard Tower Breakdown

Here's an environment painting commission I finished recently, and I wanted to share a few tips related to it.

Hierarchy of focal points - regardless of the subject matter, t...

Duck Goblin Breakdown

Here's a little breakdown of a character painting that I finished yesterday:

It's very simple com...

More Process

I enjoyed working on this one because this sort of high-key, light and colorful stuff isn't something I do very often. I'm pretty happy with those reflected lights (especially how the whole side of...

Thiefling Assassin Commission Process

And a little warmup/cool down goblin in there as well :D 

DnD Commission Process

With this one I had a separate drawing as reference, in part because I didn't want to have to get rid of the lines, but instead to focus more on the brushstrokes and texture.

Fire Guardian Process

Some more process! I've got a couple more paintings recorded, so I'll be posting those next week.

Feel free to ask any questions you might have - about the process itself, or otherwise :D&nbs...

Candle Illustrations Process

The process for a few illustrations I did for a school project, I was experimenting with doing oily, juicier brushstrokes.

The whole original recording was about 15 hours.

Blob Man Process

Here's the full process for the candle guy painting, the whole vid was about 10 hr before it was sped up.

Cat

Just a lil process of a quick painting done on stream, I'll post a bigger piece next 

Kobold King Process

I haven't posted for a while here since I was sick and took a little break, but I'll be back to posting daily process vids again.

A part of this dude's process got corrupted, but here's the r...

Kobold Priest Process

I don't like this guy's sleeve, the shape design is so crappy :D

More Kobold Process

this dude took about 5 hours

More Kobold Process

This one took around 6 hours, I think 

Commissioned Painting Process

Client work usually means a more controlled and less painterly process. The whole recording is about 10 hours long. I finally got good internet so I'll be able to upload high quality longer videos;...

More Portrait Studies

I'll probably change the theme these work and work on drapery, I find that cycling themes like that is a good way to structure studies longer-term 

Owlbear Tamer Commission Process

Lately I've just been sharing studies and painting stuff so I figured I'd show some commission process where I go from line to painting 

More Studies and the Importance of Volume

Here are more daily studies, some of which I don't really like, but I don't feel strong frustration or negative emotions, even if I completely botch a study, simply because I do a lot of them. In t...

Moree Studiess

More grayscale studies, still trying to work more on volume than on finish of individual paintings

Some Grayscale Studies

Quick Grayscale Portraits

If I do a 1000 of these I'll get good at them

Daily Study

A quick painting study of my brother skating. I felt like doing a bit of color, but I'm going back to b/w rendering studies today 

Another Kobold Painting Process

Here's the process of another painting. I think this one took around 7 hours, and I painted it a bit differently than I do usually.

For most of my character paintings I have a lineart layer a...

Another Grayscale Study

Daily grayscale study, this one took about 1ht and 15 mins 

Quick Grayscale Study

I thought I'd focus a bit more on studying values and rendering and get back to colors after some practice in grayscale 

Miner Process

The first character for my series I had already posted about, and the style is finally something I'm happy with and would want to stick to for the rest of the characters

Pretty heavily inspir...

Movie Frame Study

Just some study process, about 2 and a half hours on this one
