as a young artist, watching your process of planning and putting togeather a piece and figuring out exactly what you need has helped me think about how to better plan my pieces. Most artists I have come across on RUclips don't go into such detail of explaining on how you get through this process. I enjoy watching you. Thank you for sharing your process with the world!
the mood is amazing on this. these videos are out freaking standing! this is probably the only video series i'm actually looking forward to nowadays. lol thank you for sharing your process, i'm learning tons!
This is awesome. I also paint traditionally and digitally. Its amazing how digital painting can improve your oil painting and how oil painting can improve your digital panting.
That's exactly the fresh air I needed in the works I'm working on right now! Thank you, Cynthia! Each video I get more inspired! It's specially refreshing to see you walk from traditional to digital, as I think they're complementary mediums, not excluding ones, and I try (humbly) to adventure myself in both worlds. Amazing, always!
I'm not one to comment on videos, but this series is absolutely amazing. I've learned so much about the process of creating a painting that I can apply to not just narrative illustrations, but other types of art. Plus, you're hella inspiring and soothing to listen to. I'm eagerly awaiting the next one!
Cynthia, Another great video - thanks! You are one of my favorite RUclipsrs to watch (seriously - like in my top 5). I wish you had, like, 500 videos so that I could binge watch them while I pathetically wait for the newest one. What I love about your channel - which you expertly did in this video - is not that you delve into the technique of painting so much, but that you show and tell the process. I love the technical process ("I do this first, then that, and here's why"), but what I find the most interesting and inspiring is the creative process ("This is what I'm trying to convey - this is the story that I'm trying to tell; These are the feelings that drive this expression, and this is why I've chosen this illustration to express those feelings"). I love hearing from the artist WHY they did WHAT they did. It helps me to connect with the piece better, and also to the artist. Thank you for being vulnerable and allowing all of us strangers into your thought process. Well done! Looking forward the the 3rd installment of this Re-Paint series (and pretty much every other video that you plan on producing)!
Genuinely I am so thankful for your videos and your insight, your artworks are gorgeous and you are such an inspiration. Thank you very much for your hard work, as a small young aspiring artist i cant thank you enough for solely inspiring me
i'm so glad you decided to come back to this channel and make videos on a more regular basis. with this one you've definitely inspired me to try digital painting again. amazing work as always!
Thank you for another wonderful video! It's so generous and monumentally helpful of you to share your workflow with us. This set of videos are so informative and im so grateful. I hope you're having a great weekend!
I've followed you even before you posted videos for Noah Bradley's Art Camp way back when but JESUS this Re-Paint series is PURE GOLD -- how is this free!? Keep up the great videos, they're always a treat to watch and even replay in the background (learning through "osmosis"??)
This is great! I really appreciate seeing your process with both digital and traditional media, your work has been a huge inspiration for me getting into art more seriously and getting to know how you start out and get from there to the finished work is definitely helping me realise how I could be more effective.
I've moved away from digital art into acrylic and oil (which is how I first found your channel) but this has me seriously tempted to go back! Love your work, and this particular painting has me absolutely fascinated!
These past two videos hold so much valuable information for digital techniques that it blows my mind. Photoshop has been my goto extreme photo editing tool. most of my digital drawing is done in sketchbook pro but can see how the process could transfer. I am so glad I stumbled onto your channel. It's quickly become one of my top 5 channels for art.
I'm in love with this brush!!! - Thank you for sharing everything you do.. I am inspired to tell stories - as a portrait artist I rarely get a chance to do that but I am going to start thanks to your inspiration!
Wonderful video and a very detailed process I imitated something like the brush you're using and it's definitely more "natural" feeling. This has been immensely helpful, thanks!
Your videos are insightful super well explained. I have been following your work for quite some time and I have to say it gives me so much inspiration to see you doing these videos. Keep the good work up!
Another inspiring video. I found it really interesting that early in the coloring process you introduced local color. Most instructors I have watched emphasize beginning with shadow. However, local color makes more sense to me, because then you have somewhere to go as far as value.
awesome video! I've really learned a lot about planning for a painting and not just jumping in to a painting with no plan from your videos. I have to learn to be disciplined about it, especially using references. I have to unlearn all the bad habits I was taught early on, especially that it is ok to use references and that it doesn't mean you don't know how to paint if you can't paint from your imagination with out references.
Absolutely love this! You were my favorite professional that visited us at Ai in Arlington and seeing your process really helps me adjust mine's I always zoom into my painting too much and work on details too soon. I'll definitely nail down a process for myself after watching this series.
Im so happy I've found your videos, I also paint traditionally and digitally and to find someone that does the same and has so much knowledge about it and actually shering it is such a blessing T T Im looking forwards to part 3!!
I been watching you for a long time, I am an artist and you inspired me to make art tutorials too! I hope the art community can benefit and learn from my videos like how you inspired others😊
Enjoyed your process very much! It feels so easy and inspiring Cynthia and I noticed you are using multiply for coloring(not color or overlay layer mode). With multiply color looks more rich and correct, but sometimes it need lightness adjustment after. Great process!
Thank you for another great video. I also look forward to them each week. I have tried digital painting and I like it and what you can do. I just have a problem with the layer tool (lol) ... Not very proficient at it but I keep trying.
I know it´s all gonna be covered up with layers and layers of awesomeness, but i gotta be honest I REALLY liked the initial pose you draw in the sketch of alice´s body. I was much more dynamic I could see in her body language that she was actually struggling, that walking and destroyin that path wasnt a walk in the park. Sometimes ive noticed how using references change the dynamic of the drawings and even more so when it comes to bodies. I think there´s some things that a drawing with no reference of a body can bring that no picture, or model can deliver° This is just my opinion° Im just really passionate about what our brain can delivered through memory and what a mind like yours with years and years of visual information makes out of the blue° Over all, watching you plan, search and build your piece is just what I needed right now, so I just wanna say Thank you to finish.
It's SO true, that following reference too closely can make a lively drawing go flat. It's something I admit to struggling with and need to work on, but I'll try not to lose it too much at final. :)
Your process is very interesting. I was hoping for the definitive A-Z guide to making a painting from a sketch. But of course no such thing exists. Everyone has their own approach. There's a great Ukrainian digital-only artist who 6 months ago or so, stopped using layers altogether, and has gone over to PaintStorm after many years in Photoshop. So I guess everyone is evolving and changing over time. I very much enjoyed your video!
Love the painting! As to the zooming in. I fight the urge to go close up very often. What helps me a bit (even though I still zoom in and out all the time) is the "New View". It lets you see both the zoomed in part of the painting and the whole painting zoomed out. It works even better if you have two monitors as the zoomed out picture can constantly sit on the 2nd monitor :)
That sounds cool, is that built into Photoshop? I have a two-monitor setup at work and I love it, but at home all I'm using right now is my laptop - I have a Cintiq that I love but it's currently hooked up to a dead PC. Definitely need to fix that soon :)
Thanks very much! I've been using Photoshop for 25 years, but since the program has evolved so much in that time and most of my habits were formed pre-CS, I greatly appreciate the tip :)
I know the feeling! Imagine my surprise when I found out about liquify and the built-in perspective/vanishing point tool. I felt so old! I can't take credit for the tip though, I got it from Anna Steinbaeur haha :D
Love Anna!! :) I found out about Liquify during a friend's demo at an art college a couple years back... I went on right after him and sorta... stealthily incorporated it into my own demo like I knew about it beforehand. lol
Cynthia, are you always mindful of the edge your brush stroke creates? As in, do you change direction with purpose with every stroke for a hard or soft edge? Thank you for the amazing channel.
Thank you so much for the second part of this beautiful tutorial, Cynthia! I've been waiting for something like that from you for a long time! Is there any chance that we'll see your brush (and brushpacks to come) available online somewhere?
Thanks Inr! I got that brush from another artist (who probably got it from another artist) so I don't know its origin, but my best guess is it's one of Jaime Jones's pack? If not, I think he has brushes that are close. In the future I could make more of my own custom ones available if folks are interested.
Cynthia Sheppard I think many people would like to have your brush, no matter if they will use it or not, they just want to collect the masters’ brushes so baddy, so do I. :)
+Cynthia Sheppard Absolutely utterly interested in the brush! Just starting to learn some digital painting and I managed to wreck the brush history and I really think I don't know how to manage them effectively. I saw yours and got a little woozy.
If you want this exactly same brush just download Jaime Jones' brushsets. In Photoshop, open the brush window> Click on the "189" brush > Press F5 and the brush options will open. In "Shape Dynamics" tab you need to change the control type of "Angle Jitter", change "Off" to "Direction". You can also put a few amount of "Roundness Jitter", 10% is enough. Done, now you the same brush that Cynthia is using :)
Btw, if you want to keep a zoomed out version of your painting, just open a second window of the same file, zoom out and place it by your reference images. :)
Thank you so much for this. The queen looks so formidable. Its awesome how u capture these subtle emotions. May be you could consider talking about it sometime. And showing the process in real time sounds like a superb Christmas gift. :) Could you please consider making a video on just the tools and brushes in Photoshop you use for digital painting? And again, thank u thank u so much for this detailed process explanation. This is both entertaining and educational. I wish I could be as good as you in art. I have ideas, but skills aren't enough. How did you get so good at this? How did you practice? You are an awesome art teacher. Wish I met you when I was 15. Thank u and good day!
I found it! Finally confirmed that it IS one of Jaime Jones's brushes, but with Angle Jitter set to "Direction" in the Shape Dynamics brush setting. It was passed to me from another artist, so I wasn't sure where it came from, but Jaime's brush pack is downloadable.
Thank you so much for your channel, you're a very inspiring person and artist. I'm learning just by watching you work. I do have a question for you, though: do you always work in rgb mode? Isn't there any trouble when you are requested to deliver your art to a client who will print the finished piece? I'm thinking of Magic The Gathering.
Magic requires delivery in CMYK for print, but the illustrations print fine if they're converted to the correct color space after working in RGB. Making sure the final illustration is in gamut is the biggest concern (you don't want your brilliant reds to look like weak Kool-Aid), but the reason I typically work in RGB is the way blending modes and adjustment layers behave. I often use those for global adjustments or to dodge out highlights, and the quality of light is much flatter when you're working in CMYK. Thanks!
ich bin echt beeindruckt von dem was sie können , darf ich fragen wie lange haben sie gebraucht bis sie es konnten und wie lange hat das Bild gedauert . danke
probably a long shot, but for future digital paintings (or this one, if possible) any way you can make the original photoshop file available? I love to dissect other artists' digital work flow... You could make it Patreon exclusive, if you have one...
Haha! I do enjoy my Wacom, but I've been using tablets for over 10 years. There is a minor learning curve if you're used to traditional brushes (which is why I like to call out the differences in process where I can), and for some the flat tablet is stranger than a Cintiq since you're drawing off to the side. If you end up trying the voodoo, best of luck!
Glad I could humor you and thanks for the quick reply. I've got some kind of Mac thing. It's a big screen with a keyboard and a mouse that doesn't move. I was told this would be good for illustration, since, with over 15 years doing art, I think I want to be an illustrator when I grow up. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to figure out how to turn it on. In the mean time I've been looking for advice and information on either a Wacom or Huion that maybe I could plug into my Mac thingy at some point so any technical savvy you could throw my way in your videos would be much appreciated. Don't be afraid to mansplain it to me. Bite size words with a just a few syllables.
I wanted to trade in my 27" iMac for MacBook Pro, but it's so hard to part with the big screen. It's big screen vs portability. So I might end up saving too to be able to have both.
Holy molly this is a whole new world that scares the crap out of me. I simply don't know where to start with digital painting? If 'm honest this video just make me feel useless and like a child. Where do I start to learn this way of working?
Richard S oh no! I don't want to make it look scary! To learn the tools, you'd need to try them and feel them out, and there are lots of other channels that provide simpler explanation (this was just an account of my process which is more convoluted than some). Maybe Daarken's channel or Proko would be a good start? Cheers-
All these videos are amazing, and totally inspirational, thanks so much!
Incredible art and the way you share your journey is both beautiful and insightful♠️♣️♥️♦️thanks for sharing
there are tons of artists around the globe, but to give some proper teach and methods like this, is rare.

Yesss! The interchange between mediums is so much fun. :)
Omg this process was so interesting. I really love the explanation too and the story behind it.
That's exactly the fresh air I needed in the works I'm working on right now! Thank you, Cynthia! Each video I get more inspired!

I was completely mesmerized... It is wonderful❤️❤️❤️❤️
Cynthia Sheppard - amazing painter and unexpectedly the most serious coffee addict on RUclips! :) Love your videos! Coffee FTW!
This is a very nice and thoughtful process, I am enjoying it very much! I'll try to use it in some of my own work!
Props on composing the tunes. Swell tunes!
Its great to see good use of reference!
Thank you for another wonderful video! It's so generous and monumentally helpful of you to share your workflow with us. This set of videos are so informative and im so grateful. I hope you're having a great weekend!

My favorite way to end each Sunday. Thank you for sharing your process, and for uploading even though you’re super busy!
It's really great of you being consistent with these, considering the interruptions. So, thanks! And thank you for sharing the knowledge!
I've moved away from digital art into acrylic and oil (which is how I first found your channel) but this has me seriously tempted to go back! Love your work, and this particular painting has me absolutely fascinated!
It's great to work with more than one medium! :) Thanks for your comment, Tianna
I do both digital and traditional - each lends itself to the other.. You can do both :)
It's very interesting to watch your process. Thank you for sharing your work with us :)
Fantastic video. Really enjoyed your explanation of your process as you worked. Very inspiring.
super happy to see the second part of the video,I love your job ^^
This is beautiful ..and the details of your work progress are very useful.

Wonderful video and a very detailed process
I imitated something like the brush you're using and it's definitely more "natural" feeling.
This has been immensely helpful, thanks!
Thank you for these amazing videos!! Your process and your tips are so helpful!
Beautiful Artwork! Thank you for posting these awesome videos and teaching about your process.
Your videos are insightful super well explained. I have been following your work for quite some time and I have to say it gives me so much inspiration to see you doing these videos. Keep the good work up!
Awesomeee, I was expecting this the whole week!
this is incredible. amazing work Cynthia! i just learned so much from this videos!
Wow your work is beautiful! Thank you for making videos.
Another inspiring video. I found it really interesting that early in the coloring process you introduced local color. Most instructors I have watched emphasize beginning with shadow. However, local color makes more sense to me, because then you have somewhere to go as far as value.

I really enjoy the content and appreciate the efforts you put into making these videos. Seeing your processes helps me a lot in keeping up with my own
Cynthia, I actually bought the same eazel you use, thanks to your video. It's one of the few that has a built-in glass palette.
Absolutely love this! You were my favorite professional that visited us at Ai in Arlington and seeing your process really helps me adjust mine's I always zoom into my painting too much and work on details too soon. I'll definitely nail down a process for myself after watching this series.
This is sooo incredible

I'd love to know where you found that brush, or other wise how to create brushes that I can actually use for painting!
Thank you for another great video. I also look forward to them each week. I have tried digital painting and I like it and what you can do.
I just have a problem with the layer tool (lol) ... Not very proficient at it but I keep trying.
The Queen's Swiffer now a thing. I think I just died. I'm pretty sure this is what dedication feels like.
Beautiful! amazing work as always, and thanks for the inspiration! :D
I feel like I should be paying for this thank you for being generous
This is 100% of what I was looking for in a process video. (well 99.5%... still no pie)
Amazing job this is so good!
You're amazing 😍
It already looks fantastic! Could you tell more about how to work with values?
Looking incredible, Cynthia! n_n
Very nice!
I know it´s all gonna be covered up with layers and layers of awesomeness, but i gotta be honest
I REALLY liked the initial pose you draw in the sketch of alice´s body. I was much more dynamic I could see in her body language that she was actually struggling, that walking and destroyin that path wasnt a walk in the park. Sometimes ive noticed how using references change the dynamic of the drawings and even more so when it comes to bodies. I think there´s some things that a drawing with no reference of a body can bring that no picture, or model can deliver° This is just my opinion° Im just really passionate about what our brain can delivered through memory and what a mind like yours with years and years of visual information makes out of the blue° Over all, watching you plan, search and build your piece is just what I needed right now, so I just wanna say Thank you to finish.
It's SO true, that following reference too closely can make a lively drawing go flat. It's something I admit to struggling with and need to work on, but I'll try not to lose it too much at final. :)
°Thank you for the response° I can´t wait for the rest of this°
I hope one day you'll do a video in real time, your vids are very inspiring to me
thank you
Your process is very interesting. I was hoping for the definitive A-Z guide to making a painting from a sketch. But of course no such thing exists. Everyone has their own approach. There's a great Ukrainian digital-only artist who 6 months ago or so, stopped using layers altogether, and has gone over to PaintStorm after many years in Photoshop. So I guess everyone is evolving and changing over time. I very much enjoyed your video!
Oh how I love those Liquin jokes :D
I'm always curious about your process because I'm a big fan of your work. Thank you for sharing this!
P.S. now I want this brush so bad lol xD
Love the painting! As to the zooming in. I fight the urge to go close up very often. What helps me a bit (even though I still zoom in and out all the time) is the "New View". It lets you see both the zoomed in part of the painting and the whole painting zoomed out. It works even better if you have two monitors as the zoomed out picture can constantly sit on the 2nd monitor :)
That sounds cool, is that built into Photoshop? I have a two-monitor setup at work and I love it, but at home all I'm using right now is my laptop - I have a Cintiq that I love but it's currently hooked up to a dead PC. Definitely need to fix that soon :)
It is! Window-->Arrange-->New window. It's a great time saver.
Thanks very much! I've been using Photoshop for 25 years, but since the program has evolved so much in that time and most of my habits were formed pre-CS, I greatly appreciate the tip :)
I know the feeling! Imagine my surprise when I found out about liquify and the built-in perspective/vanishing point tool. I felt so old! I can't take credit for the tip though, I got it from Anna Steinbaeur haha :D
Love Anna!! :) I found out about Liquify during a friend's demo at an art college a couple years back... I went on right after him and sorta... stealthily incorporated it into my own demo like I knew about it beforehand. lol
Cynthia, are you always mindful of the edge your brush stroke creates? As in, do you change direction with purpose with every stroke for a hard or soft edge? Thank you for the amazing channel.
The queen starts to look very intimating and that's good cos I always thought of her as creepy like the Mooncat.
So awesome, could you please share your brush?
I’m just wondering if you have something like this with procreate. Thank you for this video.
Wow amazing! What is the name of the rush you use?
Thank you so much for the second part of this beautiful tutorial, Cynthia! I've been waiting for something like that from you for a long time! Is there any chance that we'll see your brush (and brushpacks to come) available online somewhere?

Thiago Assunção It's not the same, I tried your settings but hers is... thicker?
Btw, if you want to keep a zoomed out version of your painting, just open a second window of the same file, zoom out and place it by your reference images. :)

And u did your own music!! wow!
btw u don't blend ? like using a mixer brush or smudge tool? cause oil painters do that while doing traditionally , how do u get smooth textures?
hey this is absolutely wonderful. Where can we download that brush from?
I found it! Finally confirmed that it IS one of Jaime Jones's brushes, but with Angle Jitter set to "Direction" in the Shape Dynamics brush setting. It was passed to me from another artist, so I wasn't sure where it came from, but Jaime's brush pack is downloadable.
thanks a lot
awesome video :D
can we get our greasy hands on that brush?
I found it in Daarken and Jaime Jones' brushsets! The size says 189 and it looks kind of like a rectangle with lots of dots.
thank you!
No problem!
Thank you so much for your channel, you're a very inspiring person and artist. I'm learning just by watching you work. I do have a question for you, though: do you always work in rgb mode?

Sorry I didn't thank you earlier! It's the most complete answer I could hope for.
I've always felt like I see your face in your female figures lol I love it
Can you please link that brush, I have been trying to look for one exactly like that one
ich bin echt beeindruckt von dem was sie können , darf ich fragen wie lange haben sie gebraucht bis sie es konnten und wie lange hat das Bild gedauert . danke
i love you ! ; ) : )
2:00 PS settings 600 dpi
do you share that brush for free? or can we know where you get that brush? please let us know. thank you
May İ ask how You change the hard edge of brush to softer edge when You swing in different angles ?
İs it in brush dynamic options or what
probably a long shot, but for future digital paintings (or this one, if possible) any way you can make the original photoshop file available? I love to dissect other artists' digital work flow...
You could make it Patreon exclusive, if you have one...
Where can I download your brush set?
Is the Wacom worth it? I'm a primitive man with a traditional art background. This voodoo frightens me, yet tempts me.
Haha! I do enjoy my Wacom, but I've been using tablets for over 10 years. There is a minor learning curve if you're used to traditional brushes (which is why I like to call out the differences in process where I can), and for some the flat tablet is stranger than a Cintiq since you're drawing off to the side. If you end up trying the voodoo, best of luck!
Glad I could humor you and thanks for the quick reply. I've got some kind of Mac thing. It's a big screen with a keyboard and a mouse that doesn't move. I was told this would be good for illustration, since, with over 15 years doing art, I think I want to be an illustrator when I grow up. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to figure out how to turn it on. In the mean time I've been looking for advice and information on either a Wacom or Huion that maybe I could plug into my Mac thingy at some point so any technical savvy you could throw my way in your videos would be much appreciated. Don't be afraid to mansplain it to me. Bite size words with a just a few syllables.
ABSOLUTLEY Wacom is worth it if you want to paint
How huge is this canvas :D ?
Stunning! You are an amazing artist! Is that a 13" or 15" MacBook?
13" MacBook Air - I also have a Cintiq but it's currently hooked up to a dead PC... saving up to replace that at some point!
I wanted to trade in my 27" iMac for MacBook Pro, but it's so hard to part with the big screen. It's big screen vs portability. So I might end up saving too to be able to have both.
Please can you tell me wht brushes do you use??
Do you sell your photoshop brushes? Even after a decade I still don't know how to make the brushes I want, because I don't know what I need
Would you be willing to share your painterly brush?
Holy molly this is a whole new world that scares the crap out of me. I simply don't know where to start with digital painting? If 'm honest this video just make me feel useless and like a child. Where do I start to learn this way of working?
Richard S oh no! I don't want to make it look scary! To learn the tools, you'd need to try them and feel them out, and there are lots of other channels that provide simpler explanation (this was just an account of my process which is more convoluted than some). Maybe Daarken's channel or Proko would be a good start? Cheers-
I'll check them out Cynthia :)
anyone had any luck creating a similar brush??
