A Study in: Water (Vol. I)

- Опубликовано: 26 июл 2024
- Here is the first episode of a new video series. One of perhaps a few new video series I'm going to be trying to start this year. This one is all about studying, and making sure you practice good observation skills when doing studies. Hope you enjoy!
Artist works included in this video are by James Gurney and Joseph Zbukvic.

I would enjoy a video of skin tones during different times of day. Dusk, morning, evening, nightfall etc.
I just "force" myself and do one study a day, every day (1h max) and only then I can draw my normal stuff. Doing studies helps SO much
Same
Great explanation of what you were doing. So glad you showed these. Just seeing and listening to someone do it makes it infinitely easier to grasp the concepts
I'd love to see more stuff in this series
that last one was really good
This was SO AWESOME, I can't wait for more videos from this series!! .o.
I'd love to see a study of sequential storytelling. Kinda like comics
like analysis of perspective design on a multipanel page or poses and different kinds of shots
Second that, would love to see sinix's insight.
Check out Scott McCloud's books on that stuff, really fantastic resources for making comics.
awesome vid and a fantastic start for the new series. I'm totally psyched for new episodes in "a study in". Wuuhuu!!!
The higher the angle of incidence, the less of a mirror the water's surface becomes (the "fresnel effect," a slight misnomer that is nonetheless commonly used both in visual art circles as well as computer graphics). If you look straight down water is almost perfectly transparent unless it's EXTREMELY bright.
However, reflected light is polarised, and cameras pick up polarised light differently from the human eye (some people, who see "Heidinger's Brush" (look it up), can subtly detect polarised light with the naked eye, but this effect has a negligible effect on most scenes compared to what cameras do to an image), and as such water reflections will almost never look the same in a photo as they will in real life- This is one of the rare cases where if your goal is realism, a camera will ALWAYS be inferior to a physical in-person reference.
Additionally, photographers who are aware of this effect will usually opt for cameras or lenses that make water look MORE reflective, since the mirror-like surface of placid lakes was a common subject in a popular photographic movement of the 20th century and remains pretty popular overall. iPhone cameras also make surfaces look more reflective, I believe. As a result, most photo references would lead you to believe water is more reflective than it really is- In reality, even in a brightly-lit setting, with just the height of an adult human looking down at a slight angle at a body of water the part of the water closest to them would appear fairly transparent, with the underwater environment mixed with the reflection of the abovewater environment.
Personally, I find more transparent water more appealing- It looks "more wet," almost succulent, the same way gypsum carvings have an almost candy-like soft, smooth, powerfully endearing appearance because of their subsurface scattering and evenly-coloured surface. Cameras can also make water look that way, but of course artists can consciously opt to do so as well when drawing from imagination or using multiple angles or times of day to manipulate an in-person reference so they can, for example, copy both transparent evening water surfaces and noontide surroundings (or do the opposite if they prefer, of course- More transparent is my personal preference and per the previous paragraph it is clearly NOT the popular opinion).
I really like the last one
Great video! Learned a lot watching this one. Look forward to your future lessons.
Yess Sinix, this tutorial is perfect!! Thank you!!
Great video Sinix! I like this new series idea.
this video is SO AWESOME and I hope you keep going on this series ..and I hope you best luck ..Teacher!
That last photo study was amazing! I loved the colors and I thought the chaos in the water was nice
Loved this :)
If there could be a study series I would love to see one on foliage, I can never seem to find a way to make things the way I like with that.
Great new series, you made some great points on how to paint water. I'll definitely have to go do some water studies now. If you continue the series, I would love to see some studies of foliage and how to simplify it!
Jeez Sinix.......
this was amazing .
I absorbed a lot too ,gonna try this later when I get off work .
You often talk about subsurface scattering would love to see a study vid about it!
Thanks again Sinix!! 👍🏾
just what i needed!
THANK YOU
it's so nice to finally find a fellow corel painter user, most online tutorials are done in photoshop
because you're such a sharp angle artist, I'd be curious to see you do a study of someone who uses more curves, like loish
This was really helpful! encouraged me to do more photo stusies and actually do artist studies - something i''ve been really scared of for fear of "copying"
Really Great work .
Sinix, you're my morning coffee.
love this. idea
this is fantastic Sinix~!
Helpful video, thanks!
This was so good.
How about a sketch study session? I know you have a lot of similar videos to that; but a single study session about line dependencies, laying foundations, etc. sounds like a fitting idea. What does everyone else think?
Damn, you're tremendously knowledgeable and skilled
very thank you.
Great video!
man i gotta work on my painting skills lets go
amazing, thank you
Excellent serie idea! If you lack subject, I would'nt be adverse to rendering different style of textile in this painterly style of yours. Keep on doing vid, they are incredibely interesting!
Neat study vid 👍
not silly this will help me alot thank you
You should do one on foliage.
I really like this idea for a series and think the guest artists is a cool idea too. Maybe try reaching out to Adam Duff or Tyler Edlin, both are RUclips artists too.
haha you used my "Cheated" map crunch spot :P
i think we should see side by side comparison whenever youre done with one
Great video. Do you have any tips on the Oil brushes on Painter? I tried them this week, but everything got very messed up pretty quickly when I tried to blend stuff.
Keeping with the theme you've sort of got going, why not a study for the rest of the elements? Water's down, now do fire, earth, and air! Just an idea. I'd definitely like to see more of these :)
I'd love to see a study in folds. I know you already did a video on clothing but perhaps a more in depth study would be interesting?
Its nice like you say to make like studys, yet my biggest problem is just i dont understand rendering x:
Judge studying from a reference you need to relax and really just keep painting what you see but keeping in mind you are not going for being ultra similar or realistic to any of the references. You are studying to learn how to emulate the effects of the things you see in the photo to your best, and thats how different styles are created
Painting is hard. I really liked the last 2 studies they really clicked with me. Its so weird to see some chaos and then suddenly see that it is water [I am not sure what you did at 18:30 (did you just smudge it?)].
hi where do u find these beautiful pictures?
is there anyway I can get the the dry brush for Photoshop? I do not like working with coral painter
uhhhhhh. sinix. I went to you deviantart page and it said there weren't any prints for sale! is there a different site I can go and buy one? I'm filling up my new wall space with cool art maaaaaan. also, I wanna support you.
tell us wich paper to use, how much resolution for sketching or not sketching or if it matters...? when i use corel painter 2018, 1920/1080, resolution 200, my some of brush does so bad for resolution i mean, i see low polys there, example 2b pencil.. but some brushes does well, wtf is going? :D
You forgot Snell's law
anyone knows which tool he used in 18:30?
@Neat Studios thanks
But how will that help me with imagination painting. When i do studies and i understand something it doesn't burn it in my head for the next painting. Also there are so many materials that you can paint, it is endless.
When you do studies, some of it should stay in your head. More studies you do - more things you get. But it dosen't happen automaticly. Kinda. Yeah, you can mindlessly copy a lot of pictures and eventually you just have to remember something from it, but it's gonna be really slow process. But if you actually analize what you drawing, if you try to understand what is going on and why, well, this process of remembering will be faster.
Let's hope we dont see A Study in: Pink
Hey All :) I was doing a few water studies of my own and was wondering if I could get some feedback on my best one! The reference is linked under the painting

skin texture maybe
Body hair
So... This was never a series.... Sadly.
