- It's finally finished! This was the longest time I've ever spent working on a video. I'm not used to doing so much editing and have learned a lot of lessons while trying to make this video. My future videos will more than likely be brought down to an average of 5-10 minutes. Allowing me to post more videos more often!
Anyway, I hope you guys like it and learn something from my rambling! If you do please like and subscribe!

Duuude.. this is one of the most... resourceful, and useful tutorials I've watched in a long time.
I'm glad I found this gem on youtube, thank you so much
Awesome. Thank you so much Forrest!
Me and my friend are so excited to see you release a new video!
Thank you so much for the portfolio critiques you gave me a few months ago. The university ended up liking it. :)
Great video, thanks a lot for taking the time to put this video together. It really was a big help for me!
wow, man, I'm impressed! This was super informative and really well executed. You really show the importance of thinking about what you do and applying what you learn. Can't wait to see more from you!
Really Awesome! love the image too! keep 'em coming!
This is so detailed and in-depth! Learned a lot, thanks for taking the time to make these videos :)
Got youreself a loyal subscriber! Love that you're doing some interesting detailed works. :)
I recently saw your channel, and I must say that everything you said it's really clear to my ears. I really like your approach. It helps with my works. Keep doing some video. XD
Forest, you came to my school for a career day a few weeks ago. That was when I first saw this illustration along with some of your other awesome ones. It is really cool to see them being made! I really enjoy your videos, plz keep 'em coming! :)
REALLY fun and interesting videos! :D
I enjoyed this, keep 'em coming!
Great video man thank you so much for this! That value approach sounds super interesting although you'd probably need to be super patient with it and get used to it. But the work definitely paid off dude I think the piece came out really nice! :)
THX a lot for making this video!
Glad to se eyou again :) Great video with great tips
This is actually a really cool character too! Great job!
This is an awesome video!!! Thank you so much for sharing. One quick question: How did you blend that fast and smoothly? It doesn't look like you have the opacity on so how did you do that without opacity??? I find that having the opacity on quickly turns mu pictures muddy. Do you have a video that mentions your brush settings when it comes to blending the colors?
+cshunter89 I usually have the "Transfer" setting checked on my main brushes that I paint with. That allows it to fade when I use less pen pressure on the tablet. I understand the muddy look you're talking about though. Usually the muddiness doesn't actually come from the brush strokes but from lack of balance with the images values or color. However, I'd need to see an example of an image you've been working on. Feel free to add me on Facebook and message or e-mail me one of your images and we can discuss more of that!
great video!
Omg that's really funny. I moved from Canada to Spain the winter after graduating HS. I moved to Barcelona and went to the Barcelona Academy of Art. In the second year course-Digital Art-literally one week after you posted this, Dorian became a teacher at my school. Dorian is really great, he's a really kind guy and he knows what he's talking about. Another teacher was an alumni named David Mason, maybe check him out?
Forrest, what are your thoughts on the importance of super-clean lineart before beginnning the rendering process?
I tend to keep it loose, because otherwise I feel like things start losing their energy. (..if that makes sense)
Using dem rapoza brushes... I respect it.
yep
Can you put out a video where you show the best free or paid resources to learn drawing, painting & digital painting?
+Tim Heidler Great idea! Yes :)
Hey men , awesome video!! im starting and illustration while watching the video, so much thing i learn
thnks very much and excuse my english i sucks at it xdd.
keep doing the videos they are all funny and full of knowledge :D
I love it
great job
This video is amazing. How many years did it take you to reach this level?
+Flowlen Thank you! I've been seriously studying for about 5 years now I want to say. There were some up and down times, but for the most part around 5 years. There are some people that only take 2 years to be waaaay better than me though. It all depends on how well you retain the information you're learning.
pretty good video, man.
Thanks alot!
Hahahah! Great job on this one, man. Thought you'd fallen off the face of the internet for a while there!
AMAZING AND INSPIRING :)
Bruh you were so fuken dry back then, you got a bit more life now and you're my boy and I love you and appreciate all you've done for me and digital illustration industry as a whole. Without you we would have so much LESS in this world. I love you, marry me. Brina you're out.
How do you know when/where to lessen the saturation ? i get the value and the rest, but the red guy has a lot of gray ish or less saturated patches all over his body and for me its seems kinda random. i dont mean the low saturation parts, but the almost greenish-gray parts around his shoulders and so on...
It all depends on the lighting scenario. This image isn't a perfect example but I can say what was going through my mind.
Basically, there are three light sources: Sunlight, Ambient Light (Sky), and reflected light (Ground). So the least saturated levels will be the ambient light hitting the top planes of the character's body because red and blue sort of cancel each other out seeing as how they're complimentary colors. The highest saturation will be direct sunlight because it is a warm light and a warm base color mixing, making it extra warm. And the reflected light will be saturated, but not too much higher in value since it's not a direct light source.
I hope this helps! Let me know if you have anymore questions!
yes, i see, thanks that was actually pretty useful.
so the only instance when gray or gray-greenish colors appear are when a color tone meets with a (complementary) light source and cancel ? or are there other instances ? i remember seeing grayish, desaturated greens on face paintings.. how does green get on the face ?
Well there are other circumstances I'm sure, but that is one I know of. I'm not fantastic with color theory, but I recommend getting either James Gurney's Color and Light or Mike Azevedo's Gumroad Color tutorial. Both are great and totally worth it.
As for the desaturation in faces, I've noticed it too, and someone could correct me on this if I'm wrong. But, a lot of artists use desaturation on the edges of objects turning in space to make the front facing planes of the object pop more by making them appear more saturated. If you look at a lot of old master paintings you'll notice this used everywhere. Usually it isn't ACTUALLY green, just a less saturated version of the base color.
allright. thanks again
Fuck YEA
Boi, when we getting more
I'll be coming out with a new tutorial here in the next month or two hopefully. Might be a purchasable one though and not on RUclips. But it will also be very very long to make up for it
