I had a habit of making everything soft and just using eraser to harden edges but wow this really puts it in perspective for me thank you

Can you show us the different types of blended soft and lost edges and how you do it with a paintbrush? Xx

Oooh, that's a great idea! Once my kiddos are a bit older and I can safely bring out the traditional stuff again, that'd be a fun video idea!

This fundamental aspect is the final aspect of AI still can't learn. It's the last part of which distinguish of AI made art and human hand made art piece. Because when I see AI art it's tends to looks like a photograph than painting. For fellow artist don't be afraid of AI because it's lack one thing which can't be replicate by machine. It's human imagination and creativity.

Love what you say about lost edges!! I would like to add that your tip about doing edges as a last step depends on the medium. I paint mostly watercolor and you have to be thoughtful of your edges during the painting process because of water management. Tweaking at the end can be difficult.

Absolutely right! Also, I think you're a magician as watercolors terrify me, and I think part of that is REALLY committing, none of that "just smear the oils/open acrylics to fix a thing" stuff!

Both! I have two little kiddos (three and one), so I bust out the traditional stuff a little less often lately, but once they get a bit older, I'll start doing more traditional videos and timelapses!

Hi Wes. Great painting and amazing final result. Edges are tricky and I thank you for helping me notice those more in an deliberate way. One side question (I have done it before and you nicely answered it): What is the beautiful music playing while speed painting was on? Thank you so much.

Thank you so much! So I think the music for this one was a Guild Wars 2 soundtrack, either the Heart of Thorns or the Path of Fire expansion soundtracks. Amazing music to paint to!

This video is amazing, thorically and practilly speaking. One quick question (and sorry for the cliche) but I want to block-paint my drawings as you are doing, starting with big shapes of color until refine, but I still cant feel comfortable (or having th eeffect I want) with the default brushes in PSD, do you maybe got a video about how to customize them? or is it just matter of practice until you get the flow of the tool and color blending?

He does the block-in part in ArtRage, so maybe he feels the same about Photoshop’s default brushes when it comes to this. I’ve seen many people use the PS chalk brush, though. Personally, I use Clip Studio or Procreate for everything.

I really like this one. One of your best, I think. You definitely made a better (different) "story" with the painting. To me, now it's about the woman who seems to be in a world of her own. Everything else is essentially background, yet still part of her story. I definitely have to stop being a slave to the photo! Working on a more painterly result, but I can't stop adding detail! Anyway, thanks for the insight.

Huge thanks, Robert, I'm honored! I'm starting to "dip my toes" into getting away from reference and I'm finding that the 80/20 split (80% follow ref, 20% imagination after the fact) has been a great exercise to build confidence! The goal is over the next year or so to make that 80/20 number flipped, so only 20% will be based off a ref while the imagination takes care of the other 80%. Here's hoping!

Loved the video. I'm as far from an immediate learner as you can get and I got a ton of stuff from it. In terms of process if you were to do a grey scale values pass first and then colour... would this edge work still come at the end, in your opinion? I'm working with graphite pencils at the moment and I can see applications there as well.
@ArtOfWesGardner
Жыл бұрын
Thank you for kind words! Yeah, I'd probably still mainly worry about the "edges pass" at the end of the piece, as a "finishing touch" of sorts. That way I could focus on making sure the clarity of the piece works (in values), then find the "mood" of the piece I'd want (with the color overlay/color splash pass), THEN go in and get some painterly edges to tie everything together. I hope this helps!
