Thanks!
Very much appreciated , I’ve watched this before but need to remind myself of a certain part , you’ve saved me a lot of scrubbing :))
@@libbywilliams9969 glad it helped! :D all the best in your art endeavors!
Who would guess that I will get my dream of been educated by a Disney artist. You have just gave me the best class in my entire life
Hell I went to a tech school in my city ran by a former animator who claimed he was going to show us all this, we all quit and demanded our money back after a few months because we hadnt learned anything. I just learned more in 1 hour than in 8 months at a ripoff tech school.
I'm ashamed, but at first I just thought what a great RUclips channel I found. Now I know that is much more great than I thought. Thank you and I really appreciate your every content. 🌿
Easily the best Photoshop drawing tutorial I've seen! Thank you so much!
Definitely
How can someone dislike this video? the best video tutorial/class that I saw this year about digital painting, thank you Mr. Blaise
I have learned more from this video than I have in the rest of my 10 years of creating and learning about art.
Completely and utterly BRILLIANT!!!
This is so awesome....thank you for sharing :)

great job
Amazing
This was so thorough. I truly do appreciate this as a digital artist myself. I think traditional methods are something that digital artists take for granted since they figure that the gradient tool and a few blend modes will cheat them to a masterpiece. Without a firm understanding of art theory, Photoshop becomes merely a retouching application with a few cool filters for pushing pixels.
Thank you, Aaron Blaise!
What fun to watch this work come to life, along with your class.
I appreciate this man so much for posting these videos and teaching people for free
Aaron Blaise. King of online art tutors........and theres some really good ones out there !
I totally agree with you Aaron. Doing a study is great, but when you're doing something on a time-frame, and time is money, then anything goes.
I'm only 27 mins in and I've already learned more than I could have ever hoped for.
Wow you will never know how much this video helped me. Thanks so much for taking the time to help all of us to become better artist. You are an awesome teacher. God Bless You
Just watched the entire video. Beautiful artwork! Unbelievable inspiring!
I have learned more about using Photoshop watching a few of your tutorials than watching tons of training videos by others. Your work is awe inspiring. Thank you for sharing your talents with fellow art enthusiasts.
This made me so happy. I see creatures everywhere, in everything! I'll start photographing them and draw them from now on :) Thank you
Brother Bear's art was so fantastic. I think the movement and stylisation of the bears was a cut above. The fact that they could create two moose characters with all their complexity and animate them so well still blows me away. Criminally underrated Disney film. I'm not a fan of the soundtrack songs, but the art is just top notch.
I agree. Brother Bear is a wonderful film.
The best tutorial....really easy to follow and comprehend.
This is without doubt one of the most comprehensively helpful tutorials I've ever seen (and I've seen a LOT). For the first time I actually think I could create something myself now. Thanks Aaron! Amazing!
- Claps - You're such a wonderful artist and your workflow is concise and illustrated professionally. Bravo and thank you!
Always liked how sweet this character looked, like he's engaged in a friendly conversation.
Very nice. Always cool seeing these really finished pieces broken down into the steps. Get to see how simple it can become. Really see it's the design that makes it, at the very beginning, the rest is just to 'make it pretty'.
Thank you for showing us all your tips and tricks of the trade. You have an amazing talent. Appreciate you sharing your knowledge with us.
hand drawn is superb and always will be so
I can't believe it! I've been playing around with Photoshop and came to the same solutions before ever seeing this video. I even knew what tool he was going to pick next like warp to conform to the art and then eraser to eliminate residual texture at the borders, etc. The one thing I did learn here is how to make the imported textures transparent. My solution was to add value over the texture and use photo filter to match the colors.
*FANTASTIC TUTORIAL !*

Amazingly mind blowing how successful you are Aaron, at fooling the eye those textures and highlights! Thank you for such a helpful video.
Your paintings are brilliant. So clever.
This has been so much better than anything I’ve seen! I can’t wait to start!!
Thank you so much!
You have demystified so much with this brilliant tutorial. Now I know that experts make things look easy, and there is really so much foundation and years of experience in concept and form apparent in just the base drawing. But--you make this seem so much more doable than other artists and tuts.
I really appreciate your PS workflow and the way you leverage its tools for shortcuts in textures, backgrounds, etc. I think you have just unlocked something I've been trying to unlock for a long time. So thank you! It's like a new plateau of creative possibilities!
This is better than college. God bless you.
Great teaching great process, really nice final render
The smudge tool for blurring is pure genius xD
This is one of the most informative and helpful tutorials for digital painting that I have ever seen. Thank you very much for this!
WOW! This is a priceless info about a great, effective and efficient workflow! Love the video, very interesting and helpful! Thank you so much Aaron, you're the man!
You just saved me from a frustration point. I am a hundred thousand lifetimes thankful to you!
Extremely well explained and fantastic illustration. You sir are an inspiration, plain and simple.
You're very insightful i'm very happy to have stumbled across your work
Inspired, happy, pleased, and ready to open my PSCS6!!! Thank you very much for your sharing. God Bless You.
You have made the drawing world comprehensive to me. Love
This was amazing! Seriously. I honestly got a little choked up watching this tutorial. I just recently started working with Photoshop and a tablet after years of working strictly as a traditional artist and I thought it was highly unlikely that I'd get to a point where I could create art digitally, but after watching this I feel more hopeful as well as inspired!!! Awesome!!!! It's been awhile since I've been this excited about making art. Thank you so much!!!!
This is inspiring as an artist that works with tangible and digital media. You are incredible!
The tutorial starts at: 14:00
Awesome tutorial, thanks for sharing it
Thank you so much for this! Helped me far beyond anything I've been taught in my digital illustration class in college. Your art is incredible, can't stop looking at it and just staring in awe. Thank you for your contribution to art and Disney.
I want to thank you for posting the presentation of your process in photoshop. As you've said there are a myriad ways to accomplish objectives in photoshop, and your presentation provides a straightforward system to create a picture. Now, if I could only progress beyond the grey background stage, I'd be golden (just kidding).
Thank you so much for giving such a detailed explanation. Helped me a lot!!
Amazing. Your linework is so clean and really sets up the rest of the work. Really drives home the need to practice clean lines.
This was amazing! I can never find any tutorials on how exactly someone does something! I ask for a tutorial and they always give me a speed painting as if that is somehow suppose to help me? Thank you so much for posting this, it has substantially helped me!
Catisdal Glad you got something out of it :)
Fricken genius! Sometimes, I think that digital painting is much better than hand drawn animation. It just takes time to feel in the details with technology and know all the effects of the switches and buttons. This is the definition of creativity.
Well, for me, I download speedpaints, those who allow me to see all of their windows (like layers, colors, etc) then I replay it again and again, in around 25% of speed, so I can study exactly what are they doing. if needed, frame per frame.. and it really helps me a lot
wow! just wow. im about to embark on this path of illustration, with no real 'experience', just a creative mind and a past childhood of loving drawing/sketching, but watching this brings it all into the realms of possibility for me. such a good tutorial and it all appears to be something I will be able to get to grips with. Thank you. currently considering going all out and purchasing a cintiq and dive straight in..
Really well done class on painting and textures with Photoshop. It's long but for a newby like me worth the time.
Thank you so much for sharing your gift.
Man... You just game me the best tips one could ever ask for. I think my trip back to drawing and digital illustration will be all that much easier. THANK YOU SO MUCH!
You can also use textures and turn them to Soft light with the layer. It works well too
There really aren't a lot of digital painting tutorials out there. I wanted to learn how to paint without the mess. Thanks for making this.
Thank you ! Mr. A. Blaise,Amazing tutorial,you are good teacher,I saw all the video in RUclips Great and clear ! Sure I will try Photoshop ! Many thanks ! Greating to you Mr. A.Blaise.
Wow, he makes it look so easy...
I just started learning Photoshop but have been an artist for many years, realism/fantasy is what I like to draw the best, usually in pencil or color-pencil, so this will take that realism to the next level. Thank you so much! I will comment when I've completed something using your techniques and will subscribe to you with every email account! Thank you thank you!
Aaron you are the best!
this tutorial taught me so much! thank you for making this available!
Aaron ur the greatest teacher i ever had!
Thanks for all the tips.
Just amazing Aaron
>adding every single photoshop video to watch later list
Awesome. I can see this guy being an alien Jedi Knight with those robes! :p
I love the fact that you use photographic textures, in your paintings, and to me, it's definitely NOT cheating. If I'm not mistaken, most digital artists, either photograph their own textures or use stock. I live in the Florida panhandle and often chase bears, black widows and snakes so I can photograph awesome textures lol. Art can be so much fun.
This is amazing! Thank you so much for putting this up! I've been struggling with bringing my personal drawings to life and this helped a lot!
Wow I'm in awe. I've been a traditional amateur artist and you inspired me very well. Hopefully I could attend one of your digital art classes.
Wow! Thank for sharing you ideas and creative process. There's something pretty special about how you explain your work flow. I'm instantly inspired! I'm buzzing with enthusiasm here and wish I could just run out and get myself a tablet right now this minute! It has to be said, you are one awesome artist!
brother bear is like my fav film I luved the animation and I can c your art being related to it
I loved it! Learned tons of techniques. Thank you so much!! :D
You are such a wonderful teacher!I first saw your work in imagine FX and was so inspired.
So awesome you posted this! I have really gained a lot from your channel since I found out about it on the Wacom video you did a bit ago.
Great video, and nice explanation on the process.
I've just discovered your videos couple of hours ago and by playing them on my second screen my drawing started improving in the first one. But it's now 4am and I should go to sleep but I just cant! All I want to do is just drawing. Thank you!
Hi Aaron!
This is one of the best tutorials I've ever seen... It's undeniable your great knowledge! Your patience is extremely appreciated, and your decision of sharing this great material to the art community totally worth! No words are enough to thank you! :D
I think I said it before, but won't get tired saying that: you're an amazing person, artist and teacher!
At least I'm really grateful with you for being as you are... Lots of blessings for you!
Have a good one!
This is incredible, if I had the capability, this is what I would do with my life. Thank you for allowing me to dream of this!
Finally someone explaining what and WHY they paint the way they do - Great tutorial. Thanks alot...now I have to get some hardware.....hmmmm... wacom/Photoshop. Or IPad pro/procreate.....??? Hmmm!
Outstanding, best tutorial ever.
Please more of such tutorials.
Thank you so much for an amazing lecture with definitely helpful techniques and advices!!
This is really great creative work.
Wow! That was amazing! I have been working on white and DID always find that I had trouble with the lighting when adding any kind of background. I'm going to try it with the grey now. And your use of textures! I haven't done too much in the way of that either. Mostly because I couldn't figure out how to get them to look right. But you explained the change of exposure and I think that is going to be VERY helpful in the future.
Thank you so very much for taking the time to make this tutorial. It has given me a lot to think about.
I love this guy, by the way! He looks so...peaceful and content.
Step by step awesomeness.
Perfect, beautiful procedure and explanation. Thank you for posting.
Please more videos like this!!
Thank you sooo much Aaron. I'm for ever in debt to your priceless tuts. 🙏🙏🙏😘
Really great tutorial. Thank you so much!
Awesome work Aaron, great tutorial!
At the 41:00 mark you should try playing with the layer style with the texture layers, especially if you use the "Blend If" options you can control the texture based on its levels in a very controlled way when tweaking the "Underlying Layer" controls. It will take fewer steps then adjusting the exposure of the texture layer.
Great Work! I just bought all your tuts and they are well worth it. Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us Aaron. Much appreciated.
As a beginner, I learned so much from this! :)
The best tutorial ever!
very useful tutorial . thanks a lot Aaron Blaise :)
This is amazing! I will (hopefully) be attending Ringling in two years and to see someone benefit for the college experience there is very uplifting!
Amazing skills! And you break everything down so clearly!
Amazing! Love your work!
Thanks for sharing , al this tutorials are so useful and help to learn more of the the amazing and fantastic animation world
This is valuable stuff man. I'm glad I came across your video :)
