    For you who wonder how he do the perspective grid:
    Its the polygon tool (U) in photoshop
    set the sides to 99 and use the pulldown tab, click "star"
    than under "indent sides" set your value to 99 percent
    hope this helps

    I think this is a very good way to do things if you are still learning about values and getting the lighting right.
    Another tip is to add a layer filled in with 100% black on top of all other layers, and set the layer to Saturation. This is a handy way to check that values are right and that it still reads well by just turning the layer on every now and again :)

    Doing a lot of color studies, such as from life and photographs, will help you a lot and train your eye to better see colors in a more observant way. It'll come with time for sure, and eventually it'll become second nature to you, like everything else. Not sure I answered you're question but just my two cents. Also the color wheels are your best friend.

    Those birds.. Oh god those same birds have bothered me so much in one of the Guild Wars 2 loading screen arts where they actually used this exact same bird brush two times in a single picture.

  • @doomguy606
    @doomguy606 11 лет назад

    You can use an image of a perspective grid. Here he used two for the two point perspective and scaled them the way he wanted. This way is much easier than created the grids over and over again and less blurry than using a grid brush.

    He didn't make that mistake. take a straight edge and line it up with the vertical elements, you'll notice they converge to a vanishing point far above the page. He did a really great job.

  • @chedsalvia6270
    @chedsalvia6270 5 лет назад

    great video! now we need another 20 hours to polish the details, add more curve layers to boost contrast, chromatic aberration, color-management, colour lookup layers, maybe add some match-color layers to harmonize, and post-processing in general

  • @DoctorZisIN
    @DoctorZisIN 12 лет назад

    This is awesome. Only one thing bothers me, and that is that you painted the castle in two-point perspective. On such an immense and tall structure, from that point of view, you would see the towers rise toward a vanishing point high in the sky, not perfectly vertical and parallel to each other.

    Great job! Why do you rotate the image when you working?

    • @MTOmauw
      @MTOmauw 9 лет назад +9

      +Fran Cobas Rotating the image or 'flipping' it gives the artist a new angle to look at their work. If something doesn't look right mirrored it's wrong the other way around as well. An artist's eye can get used to perspective mistakes while you're making your piece, by flipping the canvas you get a fresh look at your art and you tend to notice 'mistakes' or things you want to change.

    • @zhalek8026

    where to begin? I really wanted to become a 3D environment artist. I have tried 3Ds max modeling and I think I'll learn it. But the equipments are very expensive, laptop and and wacoms (ex intuos, bamboo, & cintiq) the smaller one.
    So what I think becoming a concept artist is the cheapest way right? So after that what to do? Do I have to draw lines, cross-hatching etc or what?
    IF you can layout a plan for me then it'll be better. Pls sir.
