"Use the airbrush in such a way where I blend and unify the values within the forms but I don't want to blend the forms with each other. That's how you destroy your structure." 💯💯💯💯 Thank you for this. It really made me understand exactly how I always lose my forms when blending which resulted in a structureless drawing.

You know, I rarely if ever watch "art tutorial" videos, but this has really helped me realize that I've been holding myself back in a choke hold. I'd wondered why I'm so much better at rendering structures traditionally with pencils on paper than with any of my digital work. I think I really need to go back to basics digitally, and force myself to slow my roll before I continue my works, so I can be satisfied with what I'm making. This has been really helpful. I can't seem to edit my brushes the way you can, but I'm going to check if I'm able to in other programs I use. Thanks so much!!

Dude thanks for actually teaching people something, including myself. Far too many artists posting online gloss over things like this and it feels like they don't want to share their "secrets" if you will. I see so many speedpainting videos and trying out different styles but no simple explanation to things like rendering. I even asked a guy on Artstation to maybe show his working a little more, perhaps a timelapse to show how he does his excellent rendering, to which he liked the comment and proceeded to upload the same finished pieces plus 1 earlier sketch. When art is a learned skill, there is no secret sauce to making perfect art and we're all constantly learning so I don't know why so many people don't want to share their processes. To me, there is exploration of techniques and finding a balance of what works for you. I've been getting better at being more expressive in my art but I wanted to up my game in rendering and this is just the video I needed to inspire me and gave me some tips to try out and find my own way of implementing them. Great vid!

Yeah I’m somewhat familiar, our process isn’t too dissimilar. The brush isn’t as soft as the standard airbrush. It’s somewhere between totally hard and totally soft, this gives you some of the precision from a hard brush while also giving you some of the blending of a completely soft brush. Handles more like graphite or charcoal.

For a simple study like this I don’t typically set up the layers in any special way. Create a new layer, paint for a bit, if it looks good I merge it down, rinse and repeat. Before merging it down I’ll often duplicate the base underneath, that way it merges with the duplicate and I can flip back and forth to see the progression.

It seems most people understood but I’ll add clarification. There’s a difference between painting with the airbrush versus polishing a painting with an airbrush towards the end. I generally discourage the former for beginners. This painting wasn’t originally recorded with the intention of avoiding the use of airbrush so there’s some use of it at the final stage to save some time, but the point still stands.

The tutorial would do better but this is not real art (in my opinion) because for this piece it's just the ability to copy 1:1 what you see. Like it's copying the reference. if people would really learn how to shade that way and realistic, they don't even need a reference to know where they put the light and shadows. I also think it's too much work if you can have it easier. I'm not even talking about an airbrush but a good blur tool (like in SAI version 1). That way you can define the hard shadows where they belong and just blur it out and decide how soft you want i to become. I mean this tutorial like written is for people who feel stuck. and some might find help in it. and if it's only for showcase it's okay as well. Yet still if your reference is a not free stock or 3d , you already lacked of giving credits

How does your brush go darker/lighter without touching the color wheel? When you start shading the sculpt, you seemingly start placing slightly darker and lighter colors without really ever touching the color wheel. Is it because of the brush options you have enabled? Reminds me that in other programs, like SAI, I use airbushes to create different values on a drawing then I color pick whats on the screen. Like the opposite of what you do, kind of? Many thanks for the tutorial!

Muddiness is typically the result of some lack of fundamental understanding, either of form & lighting or color, or potentially both. The hard brush makes it more difficult to hide what you don't quite understand yet about forms, so you may want to try studying how that works.
