I want to become a concept artist one day, and it really makes me shocked that there are artists who teach these things on youtube. I'm so thankful that you share your knowledge with us beginners! I can't wait to see your channel to grow, I look up to you a lot! :D
Hey FAT AZZ! 😂 Look man, if you make drawings be it photoshop, pen and paper, WHATEVER it is, you're a concept artist. Even if you skribble some stuff down and got the point across, that's a CONCEPT. Now when you begin talking about QUALITY and refinement, now you're stepping into the realm of ILLUSTRATION. That's the final poster design, the splash screen etc. So if you make doodles, IDEAS, you're a concept artist. Keep up the good work man. 💪❤
It's insane how much information is available right now. You don't have to pay anything to learn about art to became an artist. All you need is hard work and time.
@@stevemuzak8526 Crazy right!? Have learned so much for free from artists like Imad and many others. Props to these guys for sharing the wealth of their knowledge on RUclips
@Omer Seth actually it was for both but because of religion matter (it's forbidden to draw anything that is alive like animals and humans completely together unless it's for education purposes so i thought better be safe than sorry) and people kind of always wanted a portrait or a character of some sort and it kind of got boring because i only knew how to draw faces probably which sucked alot i was more interested in fine arts and concept art and then yada yada yada things got complicated so i kind of gave up
Thanks for bringing painting and photo-manipulation together into one seamless process. As a graphic designer, this techniques are really helpful to get the job done without having to become Leonardo Davinci first
you just gave me a lifesaver... I have been doing Background artworks for like 2 years now, it really hurts when you spend almost half your day doing this and they will just say "can you change this for a bit". it hurts man, but thanks to you I can save enough time for everything! and for that you got a subscriber.
weaving the sponsor in with the project was good. So many times I skip over but you made it part of the process and it didn't feel overly pressing and you didn't shove it on us. Kudos.
Great image and video! A little efficiency tip for making those masks too is when you add the mask to the image, press ctrl+i and it will invert from white to black immediately so you don't have to use the paint bucket
This opened my eyes, so many digital artists just use these tools to make their paintings so detailed and realistic? Guess I finally understand how some people can pump out so much stuff in such a short time
this tutorial came out just in time! I knew this technique existed however I had trouble executing for so long the way you explained this technique has saved me sooo much time, thank you!! 10/10
Bro landscape of Ross isn’t better than that’s work. And more easier because he use photos ? Aha the composition, values and color of Imad are so better than Ross work
No, this guy is a real concept art with real basics and real understanding of concept art and design, Ross draws is just a excellent digital illustrator and he just draws the same thing over and over again, cute girls with color dodge and the same lame thing, where is Imad at least learned to do proper photo bashing so no you are completely wrong Ross draws master class for landscape was garbage and would pass for a environments 101 class one day 1 first hour ot 2nd hour at best, he solves no problems, creates no concept just a lame background with very loose brushwork and before you reply rudly to me, I will soon upload my works and you can see how much i know what i am talking about in concept art and my photo manipulation skills are not average but they are good, wherre as Ross draws is the same guy drawing cute girls and fan arts and gender bending art cause the guy cant come up with new stuff just girls in small clothes. Thank me later Imad
@@onism8836 yes and complexity of the scene along with composition, what the hell that guy Ross draw just cartoon babes with body parts exposed, he is not a artist, he is just a flavor of the week artist, Imad is atleast a real art who doesnt need to paint fan art or chicks to get views.
I am not too familiar with photoshop, but I am not a stranger either. This tutorial is very clear, easy to follow and very helpful. Thank you for taking the time to share and inform - it is appreciated. Also, be safe and well.
WOW. This technique using cliping mask is AWESOME. I used it a few times in my arts, but I didn't realize how many things it was possible to do with it. Thanks
Hi, I'm a new youtuber working with photos. I was feeling demotivated as I was not finding the right photos to work with. This video opened up lots of possibility. I thank you from the bottom of my heart for this video.
I'm speechless you gave a lot of positive energy to a beginner as me ❤️i really appreciate it . In fact I was doing Manipulation Art with Photoshop and I'm an Intermediate student , so when I saw that technique it shows a new vision of Digital art and a new path for me Thanks Man 💯🔥
Using textures, clone stamp and layer masks are my fave. :) Who cares if other artists don't like to use them, they work for me, that's all that matters. Also, your brush pack is amazing, more brushes than I could ever need.
OMMMMMMFGGG... The clipping mask idea of painting it all black and then using the white to bring it back was such a good idea.. Been using photoshop since 1998, and I've NEVER done it that way.. I've always just PAINTED the black one to add shadows. This way seems SO much easier and BETTER. I feel dumb for not even thinking about reversing it. Simple little things like this gem is what can transform and propel someone so far forward. Many thanks!!!!!!
Man, that is just amazing how you make everything just falls naturally into place. I will have to try and incorporate this technique into some of my ideas. it's fun watching it in speed lapse, thank you.
Imad, not only you are a master artist, but you also explain every little necessary details to create that masterpiece. I so love your videos, learnt a lot from you!
I usually go into these kind of videos to see artists workflow and get inspired, not really expecting to learn anything new. I'm a digital concept artist, currently studying 3D Animation and Games at uni and I also have a diploma in Creative Digital media, but YOU, Sir, have shown me some things I did not know. TY so much for the knowledge!
Still figuring out what I wanna do in life but this video really inspired me into taking a deep look at photorealistic concept art. Also just got my first digital drawing tablet today :D
@@bigjim1225 I download it on deviantart with the keyword 'oil painting'. It has the pack of chalk brush as well, which specifically named 'chalk wet'. I forgot which artist. Hope it helps :)
I'll just add another tip when using masks, you can invert the mask (black to white and vice versa), by selecting the mask and pressing ctrl+i. Hope this makes your projects faster.
We need ur all tutorials for beginers ...its very helpfull for us I need to became a concept artist like you but we dont have any facilities to learn that.... But we are still trying to learn from you ....THANKS A LOT... Also please do full course that you can do....if you do that its a big thing for us... Please consider this suggetions...😌🙁❤
I attend the accademy of fine arts and I have some professors who would use the word cheating to describe the way this work is produced, because in their opinion you have not created anything of your own and therefore it would only be a copy from other parts. I don't know how the concept artist's world works so I can't say anything about whether it's wrong or not. Personally, I think the work you've done is wonderful in many ways, like the time saving spent on creating it and the general quality of the work's details. I'd like to know what you think about the cheating topic about these kinds of illustrations.
I’m also curious about this, But I would bring up the fact that concept art is often done for client work with deadlines. He talks about this in the video as well.
Thank you very much for appreciating my work! :) About the cheating part, fine arts and concept art are two different fields. Fine artists can create anything they want for the world to see. It's about their personal "expression" and can justify their artwork even if it might seem bizarre to the common man's eye. There are no limitations there! Concept artists can't create just anything. They are more like designers who are meant to solve creative problems for films or games. They work under strict constraints and guidelines and bring ideas to life. Their artwork is not the end product, but just a necessary cog in the system to get the things working! So, no matter if they use photos, 3d or forbidden dark magic to conjure up an artwork; as long as it serves the purpose and solve design problems, it's all good and acceptable! Hope this helps! :)
@@ImadAwan Nice... Thanks for clarifying this. Now it's safe for me to say that I'm a concept artist but I still need to learn how to draw well.. Hahaha... Thanks for your awesome lessons..
He explains this at 5:06 in the video. Its all bout being able to work fast and produce multiple ideas to present to the client. They don't care how you do it, they just want it done. The world of Design and Concept Art is very different than the world of Fine Arts.
This is too cool. I don't do photo-bashing myself but I can understand how skilled one needs to be with the basics of "art" to actually achieve this. This is one of those hacker cheats... to cheat you need to be a genius!
Winderful tutorial and to the point! Your way of teaching is different! It's ego-free and shows a person who really cares about conveying his techniques and love for art to all of us. It simplifies the mystery while intriguing us to try for ourselves. Great insight on what the clients think or expect from us too! Keep posting! Thank you!
This was really enlightening and interesting to watch. Quick question, if you’re applying for a concept artist role is it ok for your portfolio to be made of these types of artworks? Or should you have fully painted , or a mix of both? And thank you so much for providing the free brush pack :)
@@Honeyshouldwehomeschool No worries, remember; "If there's a shortcut then (almost) everyone's doing it" I was horrified to learn how much 3D art isn't hand crafted too when I was learning to 3D model. Look at Daz studio, it just churns out models for you and it is an industry standard application for concept art and beyond. And then there's SpeedTrees, everyone's "Cheating" to a degree, it's half the point of digital art over traditional art. Speed and efficiency. If the end result is amazing no-one cares how you got there, all that matters is you can prove you can create magic. My teacher worked for HUGE AAA companies and he photobashes and daz studios 90% of his work.
And youre even closer to 100k now ,just 10k more. Great vid as always but this time i really feel how much work was put into it, and I cant appreciate it enough.
Hello Lord Imad XD , this was amazing af . just a question , i downloaded your brushes and installed but unfortunately couldnt find the brush you use . Can i know the name of the brush ? it would be really helpful .
Man, your videos are reaaally informative. I'm learning a lot! Just one question, in 09:15 you mention that you have a video where you explain how you use your brushes. I've been looking for that video for a while, but couldn't find it. Could you please indicate me the link? I'm reallly interested on it! And again, thank you a lot for your videos man :)
a lot of people make the point that asked if important.. what kind of speed is average? What output is expected? Maybe a video that's like "day in the life" with some pointers on how the job actually looks and feels, schedules, what kind of meetings are common, etc might be nice for a lot of people. I know I'd enjoy
hi, i'm new to digital art world. I have a few questions about what he does to create all of that. Can I claim the rights of the work if I use images without copyright? Can I earn money from my concepts if I use royalty-free images in the concept? If imad awan read this: I love your videos
Man, Honestly, this has been one of the most greatest tutos and down-to-earth speech that clients don't give a damn about your effort but the final resort. I loved it. But man, tell me, How long did it take you to do al this since developing the idea, composition, lighting and shadowing? Thanks in advance man, a hug.
Hey imad, I love the perspective you bring to beginner art, really makes things easier for me. However, I've known about this technique for a while - what do you think about this for someone's who's starting to get into digital art? I don't think I will go into concept art, I just want to explore art as my passion. The way I see it, using photobashing is a lazy alternative that can kill your will to work on your pieces. That also leads to plagiarism in my opinion because I don't know if I will feel comfortable wanting credit on a work that is basically made up of other's photos just put together and masked and dodged and burned. I don't want to be offensive to anyone, and I understand how people need to cut some corners to work under deadlines, but what would you advise regarding this for a beginner getting into landscape art for their passion more than anything else?
@@CreativeGamingDorthea since I've learnt more about art, I've learnt it's more about expression. So long as you're not blatantly copying someone e else's idea, I think it's valid as art.
I ordered a new pc, and its coming with photoshop and premiere, so now I can finally put your amazing videos to use. I'll learn from you to make concept art and better landscape paintings than I already have been
This video it's so informative and his technique on producing such a high quality result is upsolutely stunning. However..... I have one friendly advice to give to those who are generally interested in digital painting. You should really not only watch this video but also the other videos in his channel. This man is not just good with photoshop he actually have ALL the fundamentals you need to be a great artist whether paper and pencil or digitally. I notice that often beginners they look at videos similar to this one as the "easy way out" and they might feel that you can actually skip any knowledge or skill related to sketching and painting. But then you see the massive difference of artists like Imad and those starting out. When it comes to perspective, lighting, colour etc etc if you have no clue about those topics you will definitely struggle. Even if you know all the tricks of the trade on photoshop or whichever other photo manipulation program, even a single rock in a composition will look totally out of place. You need both... Train on the foundations but also be smart and know all the tricks of the trade on photoshop or whatever so when you have to speed up you can.
Dude this is some amazing content, thank you for sharing. As someone with probably intermediate photoshop knowledge I could follow all the basic stuff you were doing without need for explanation, and all the key elements you explained perfectly.
Once I buy my first pen display I will start my journey into digital/concept art. You can create such beautiful stuff and,even tho it can be kinda exhausting, I think it will be really fun to play with. Can't wait!
Love this technique. Thanks for sharing! Regarding the 3D assets. You don't have to rotate them before downloading them. Install Adobe Dimension on your computer and it will let you open those assets and manipulate them as need be.
This is the only tutorial I've found so far that actually explains HOW a layer mask works with CLARITY. I no longer use Photoshop, I use Clip Studio Paint but I'm assuming layer masks work the same way across platforms? Either way, THANK YOU SO MUCH! Absolutely love your artwork :)
Dammmmmmmnnnn ... I've been following for awhile and each image tops the next. I've learned so many smart ways on doing things efficiently. Thank you so much for taking your time to help so many.
dude you're a god, I subscribed because of that brush pack. I've made a lot of my own custom brushes but I know I was missing more. You definitely left no room for needing other brushes lol.
You are one talented teacher who teach us very good how digitals paintings works. Thanks you so much. Much thanks for you. One question Where Can we bring good brush for works.
Imad if you press the mask button by holding Alt, it makes the mask black instead of white... I love your brushes by the way they are insanely helpful, thank you very very much
That brush. It's OP. I always use it Sir Imad. Everytime i paint my artworks, (which is technically still on progress) i was like: I'm one with Imad, Imad is with me🤣

Agreed
So true! Finally well explaned!!! 🙌💯
Yes really it's so helpful
Thanks such a beautifully explained video really great
Best comment... Easily
Wait a minute, so all those photorealistic digital paitings are actually not entierly hand drawn? Dude my life was a lie
Nope! Not always ;)
I feel you so hard buddy
Concept artists really don’t have the time to hand paint everything
Yeah, i thought the same. I'll never look at those pictures at Artstation in the same way again
Most concept artworks are made this way. Contept art neets to be done sometimes in minutes.
I want to become a concept artist one day, and it really makes me shocked that there are artists who teach these things on youtube. I'm so thankful that you share your knowledge with us beginners! I can't wait to see your channel to grow, I look up to you a lot! :D

Hey FAT AZZ! 😂 Look man, if you make drawings be it photoshop, pen and paper, WHATEVER it is, you're a concept artist.
Even if you skribble some stuff down and got the point across, that's a CONCEPT. Now when you begin talking about QUALITY and refinement, now you're stepping into the realm of ILLUSTRATION. That's the final poster design, the splash screen etc.
So if you make doodles, IDEAS, you're a concept artist. Keep up the good work man. 💪❤

Wow, thanks a lot!! :)
@Omer Seth actually it was for both but because of religion matter (it's forbidden to draw anything that is alive like animals and humans completely together unless it's for education purposes so i thought better be safe than sorry) and people kind of always wanted a portrait or a character of some sort and it kind of got boring because i only knew how to draw faces probably which sucked alot i was more interested in fine arts and concept art and then yada yada yada things got complicated so i kind of gave up

hi, i'm new to digital art world. I have a few questions about what he does to create all of that. Can I claim the rights of the work if I use images without copyright? Can I earn money from my concepts if I use royalty-free images in the concept?
If imad awan read this: I love your videos
Man, Honestly, this has been one of the most greatest tutos and down-to-earth speech that clients don't give a damn about your effort but the final resort. I loved it.
But man, tell me, How long did it take you to do al this since developing the idea, composition, lighting and shadowing? Thanks in advance man, a hug.
Hey imad, I love the perspective you bring to beginner art, really makes things easier for me. However, I've known about this technique for a while - what do you think about this for someone's who's starting to get into digital art? I don't think I will go into concept art, I just want to explore art as my passion. The way I see it, using photobashing is a lazy alternative that can kill your will to work on your pieces. That also leads to plagiarism in my opinion because I don't know if I will feel comfortable wanting credit on a work that is basically made up of other's photos just put together and masked and dodged and burned. I don't want to be offensive to anyone, and I understand how people need to cut some corners to work under deadlines, but what would you advise regarding this for a beginner getting into landscape art for their passion more than anything else?
I see it as cheating... honestly. This isn't "art", this it "being good at photoshop".
@@CreativeGamingDorthea since I've learnt more about art, I've learnt it's more about expression. So long as you're not blatantly copying someone e else's idea, I think it's valid as art.
@@zaks7 I can respect that.
Omg 😱, just how you did this this much easily 😱😱😱
Please take a teaching session on this , ppl will definitely join from all over the world.
men
wtf
This was the best photobashing and environmental painting tip I ever recieved! Thanks for that! - simply short and helpful
This video rekindled my love of Photoshop and fantasy environments. Thank you.
im coming into digital painting from UI/UX and graphics design so this is right up my alley!
Awesome! Welcome!
Hey! I came across this video in online school. Very educational. I learned some useful stuff. Thank you!
I find it amazing how you manage to reply to almost every comment man. Keep up the good content
awesome man! been painting digitally for nearly 15 years but never seen this Envato elements technique!! subscribing today!! thanks man
I'm looking for videos like this that show such techniques for a couple of years now. Most videos of photobashing were just simply speed ups.
I ordered a new pc, and its coming with photoshop and premiere, so now I can finally put your amazing videos to use. I'll learn from you to make concept art and better landscape paintings than I already have been
That's awesome!!! Best of luck! :)
Thank you
Really amazingly done! I have been drawing digitally for 6 years now and this is a must watch for anyone who wants to improve!
Thanks a lot friend!!
One doubt: when you create a mask to make textures, why the mask color isn't black? There's a way to change the mask color?
This is the only video from your channel i have seen, but wow, very very insightful, you explained things really well.
This video it's so informative and his technique on producing such a high quality result is upsolutely stunning. However..... I have one friendly advice to give to those who are generally interested in digital painting. You should really not only watch this video but also the other videos in his channel. This man is not just good with photoshop he actually have ALL the fundamentals you need to be a great artist whether paper and pencil or digitally. I notice that often beginners they look at videos similar to this one as the "easy way out" and they might feel that you can actually skip any knowledge or skill related to sketching and painting. But then you see the massive difference of artists like Imad and those starting out. When it comes to perspective, lighting, colour etc etc if you have no clue about those topics you will definitely struggle. Even if you know all the tricks of the trade on photoshop or whichever other photo manipulation program, even a single rock in a composition will look totally out of place. You need both... Train on the foundations but also be smart and know all the tricks of the trade on photoshop or whatever so when you have to speed up you can.
Thank you so much! Really means a lot!
@ImadAwan It's me who should thank you for your tutorials...
loved your work
once i have downloaded a brush pack then i saw your brushes and realized that i am already using your brush
Awesome! :)
Used Photoshop for years now but never got into digital painting. Think it's high time to give it a go
As always, watching your videos makes me want to create.
Awesome!! Have fun creating!! :)
Dude this is some amazing content, thank you for sharing. As someone with probably intermediate photoshop knowledge I could follow all the basic stuff you were doing without need for explanation, and all the key elements you explained perfectly.
your brush preset is amazing!
guys, you should download it from the description....
The explanation makes it so much better.
Once I buy my first pen display I will start my journey into digital/concept art. You can create such beautiful stuff and,even tho it can be kinda exhausting, I think it will be really fun to play with. Can't wait!
just wow, it's something diffrent. You nailed it
Wow. It looks like I get to enhance my Photoshop skills once again!
Great to hear!
gotta support this good dude spreading good concepts and share resources
From now u r my fav photoshop artist
you and your sponsors really save my time sir, thanks so much ehehe :D
I'm pretty sure I used these technics many times, but never thought it can be used that way.
Thanks for the insights
Dude...this is a game changing technique. Thank you for sharing!
Glad it was helpful!
Love this technique. Thanks for sharing!
Regarding the 3D assets. You don't have to rotate them before downloading them. Install Adobe Dimension on your computer and it will let you open those assets and manipulate them as need be.
This is the only tutorial I've found so far that actually explains HOW a layer mask works with CLARITY. I no longer use Photoshop, I use Clip Studio Paint but I'm assuming layer masks work the same way across platforms? Either way, THANK YOU SO MUCH! Absolutely love your artwork :)
To make layer mask black, you can press Ctrl+I. This will inverse color and no need to speend time with paint bucket tool
Thank you for your content. It inspires me to keep pushing for art school.
Yes! You can do it my friend!
Just incredible. Opens up new creative windows for me!
BRUH THAT BRUSH PACK IS A MIRACLE THANK YOU!!!
def one of the most mind blowing things i've seen this year
Thanks Imad. Loved your brushes.
Dammmmmmmnnnn ... I've been following for awhile and each image tops the next. I've learned so many smart ways on doing things efficiently. Thank you so much for taking your time to help so many.
Amazing!! thank you Imad for sharing... I love that you have included tips on how to achieve certain techniques!
You increase my desire to be a digital artist, and thank you for the brushes ❤
dude you're a god, I subscribed because of that brush pack. I've made a lot of my own custom brushes but I know I was missing more. You definitely left no room for needing other brushes lol.
You are one talented teacher who teach us very good how digitals paintings works. Thanks you so much. Much thanks for you. One question Where Can we bring good brush for works.
Imad if you press the mask button by holding Alt, it makes the mask black instead of white... I love your brushes by the way they are insanely helpful, thank you very very much
Oh that's a handy tip! Thank you!!!
@@ImadAwan my pleasure mate! keep up the great content :D
Your content is pure gold omg like we say in my country: vine buscando cobre y encontré oro.
Thank you so much!!!
That brush. It's OP. I always use it Sir Imad.
Everytime i paint my artworks, (which is technically still on progress) i was like:
I'm one with Imad, Imad is with me🤣
haha XD
