/ic/ - Artwork/Critique

Previous thread >>5024522

For all those who love /pain/ting. Try not to derail the thread with stupid shit about what jitter or pressure sensitivity is for tablets, if you're too fucking lazy to search those up on youtube and watch an actual video demonstration of what is for your respective apps.. then maybe you should just stick to traditional tools.

Pro /Pain/t Tips - PPT:
>Dont argue about brushes and expect to have everything explained to you, art is a visual learning experience that you practice through action, not sitting there and reading shit until it "clicks" it only clicks when you get to work.
>Dont copy everything 1:1 this isnt /asg/ actually try to analyze and understand what youre doing with notes
>Post your work if you want critiques or have trouble understanding something and want help
>Come back to a painting later if youre spending hours on it, dont focus on the details if youre studying, try capturing it in BOLD and BRASH strokes
>Work in grayscale before tackling color, then you'll see colors as values
>Start simple and work toward complexity
>You can always start over
>Hard brush is love , Hard brush is life

Last thread was about values and had some good information, be sure to check that out. Ill also link some youtube channels here that I personally enjoy and help me to see values and colors.

I also decided to work on my own folder for this general specifically, I'll add to it when I have time, as of now the FULL Krenz painting course is in there so you guys can enjoy that for now, but sadly its all in Chinese, hopefully one day it'll be translated lol. Let me know if it works.

Thread image made exclusively with the notorious HARD ROUND BRUSH :^)

>practice rendering in grayscale first
>from a reference, don't even try doing this from imagination yet
>hard round with pressure sensitivity on (for opacity)
>the key is just understanding how to control the brush with the opacity and flow settings
>what worked for me is starting with low opacity and flow (20~30%) to slowly build up the correct values layer by layer, and to blend the strokes where there needs to be a smooth gradations
>raise the opacity and flow to create hard edges (or use the selection tool or eraser)
>this relationship between hard edges, soft edges in value is one of the major elements for creating realism with your brushwork
>once you learn how to do this with the hard round, you can then start experimenting with different textured brushes
>pic related is a study painted exclusively with round brush
