I've been manipulating photos since I was young, but society made me think it was cheating and not real art. I felt like I had to draw everything from scratch... but I can see that couldn't be further from the truth. Nothing is truly original as we are always referencing something that already exists. Thank you so much for this vid. So beautiful!
Yes very true but when you hear leading concept artists talk about this issue the one thing that everyone says is that it's not how you make it, but it's about WHAT you make. BUT, you should never ignore sketching or painting , you should have all the tools to make your art the best it can be.
No artist in this day and age will ever be truly original, everyone pulls from something or someone even subconsciously- the only original artist is the universe and if we can accept that in return it will make us better artists because we won't fall to society's pressures. Also, I found the best way to improve my art was to draw from scratch with a refence, but when I needed to finish a commission or something for a deadline it was just easier to draw on top of my own photos or 3d models, it sped me up. I actually keep a cataloged of hands I've drawn over the years for commissions because they are so annoying to draw from scratch.
Same here! It felt like cheating because that is what people believe when manipulating photos to produce WHAT I want to paint…. Which made me stop doing that, but as of now, I’m back doing that because it would still be my skill on how to make my idea into a real and incredible painting, even if it is using a bunch of references.
This is so beautiful man! I can't express how i feel when i look at this. This one has to be my one of your favourite artworks! Had been waiting to see the process!
i feel like i'm absorbing so much useful information about how to sell an environment as "real." less detail further away, TONS of shadows, and a heavy dose of atmospheric mist!
As an student in animation first, but Photoshop artist as a hobby, this really is inspiring stuff. Makes me want to experiment with some of your techniques and improve my own artwork. :)
I like this! In my head, I am picturing this like a samurai coming home to his home village after fought in a war. Great work on the landscape photobash too, the mountain, the sea, and the village looks beautiful in the composition.
it's amazing how you reply everyone..I follow you since long time and everytime i watch your videos it's actually making me feel bad about my own art still it's a pleasure to see your contents thank you for it.
Thank you very much! Please don't feel bad about your art. I've been there once as well. I am still learning every day. It takes time and consistency. What I am doing here is not so difficult; I am sure you'll be able to do it as well.
The moment you started painting after setting up everything gave me feel like the kind i got when captain lifted thor's hammer... Made me sit up straight for the show ahed... Beautiful work👏👏👏
That's a piece of master work you have done there. Your videos don't disappoint at all. Always experimenting with different genre's. Thank you for teaching us!!!
Before this one my favorite one was the pirate ship one and Infected, But this one and that Dragon Knight are now top of the list man. Another wonderful artwork. Your artworks are like time machines. gives Us a glimpse of the past.
The houses seemed a little "modern" at the start lol. Anyway, this looks great; the landscaping and background are awesome. It's like I'm in a game, especially with the music. I can already see the HUD and everything XD. Keep it up man, I can only wish to do this
I think these farms in the center are very sharp than the rest of the picture. More correctly in the composition when clear elements are present in the center of the composition. Otherwise, we get an incomprehensible effect and break the focus. Whatever it was, these rice fields are my favorite element in this picture. looking at him I want to add more details to the village itself, which is located nearby.
A complete different art from beginning, amazing work :D And remember guys, you are not cheating, u are creating new from something that already exist, that js wonderful
Absolutely insane stuff Imad bhaiya. You must play Sekiro : shadows die twice as well! It's set in the Sengoku war-torn era of Japan and the lore is incredibly beautiful. I'd love to see you attempt something in the art-style of Sekiro for real
This is seriously one of your best pieces I’ve seen. Love this so much, your a huge inspiration. Do you know how much time this took? Ik in the industry you have to pump out art crazy fast, and one of the things I’m slowly trying to improve on is my speed
Hey man, excellent work. IT would be nice to see slow-paced tutorial explaining what and why you do things. Could you recommend other youtubers and/or courses on web to do this type of matte painting/photobashing/Digital painting?
Agreed, perhaps some kind of live stream of the process on the next digital painting with some commentary would be so useful. I know a master doesn't want to give his tricks away, but it's frustrating to be so inspired by something but not having the tools to even be able to try. I'm comfortable with the compositing, but the painting over the composite is something I have no idea how to do.

Whatever it was, these rice fields are my favorite element in this picture. looking at him I want to add more details to the village itself, which is located nearby.
How's that kind of talent even possible. Can't believe what I saw.
Truly amazing work and amazing imagination brother ❤❤❤❤
Thanks for sharing your approach.

Absolutely insane stuff Imad bhaiya. You must play Sekiro : shadows die twice as well!
It's set in the Sengoku war-torn era of Japan and the lore is incredibly beautiful.
I'd love to see you attempt something in the art-style of Sekiro for real
This piece looks like a real painting. You are an amazing artist Imad.

This is seriously one of your best pieces I’ve seen. Love this so much, your a huge inspiration. Do you know how much time this took? Ik in the industry you have to pump out art crazy fast, and one of the things I’m slowly trying to improve on is my speed
Thank you so much! And this took around 5-6 hours i think.
@@ImadAwan insane, my photo ashes are taking me 20 rn. Still gotta lot of leabring to do, but I can’t wait
