Awesome! Your most important audience :)

Thanks! I'm so glad you're enjoying the channel. Jason Chan is so awesome - great call.

I would say it's never to early or too late to start. Young people can always begin building skills and filling up their visual libraries with cool stuff. For older artists or those starting a second career - there is really no ageism or exclusiveness - older artists seem to have a longer and broader memory of cool design languages and pop culture and can often bring unique value to a project. Whether you feel you are on the too young or too old end of the spectrum, I would strongly urge you not to rule yourself out

oh wow, I totally see it

I'm so glad to hear that.

Thanks! Glad you liked it!

Sorry about that - we were updating and replacing links. It should now be good to go www.digitalpaintingstudio.com/community

@@fowlerillus Hey, thank you so much!! ❤️❤️❤️

Glad to hear that!

Hi! We just updated a few links but it should now be working here. Welcome! www.digitalpaintingstudio.com/community

My pleasure. I'm glad these have been helpful!

Thanks! I find that really helps - glad this was useful for you. Cheers!

Also how is he creating the nice gradients without using the smudge tool, is it the soft brush? Ps. Thank for the amazing, actionable advice!

Sorry, I know the video is sped up and a lot of steps like that get totally lost, but no worries, I can clarify that. I'm painting within selections but they are hidden. I will command click the thumbnail of the layer of the main shape silhouette. That creates a selection with a dotted line so that I can paint within that shape on other layers. I hit command H to hide the dotted selection line to avoid the distraction. Let me know if that doesn't fully answer your question but I think that was what you were referring to.

You got it! Just a soft airbrush to get those soft gradients.

@@fowlerillus Great thank you! this is a game changer for me, very helpful for when clipping masks cause unnecessary complications.

@@fowlerillus By the way, do you know if there is a way to create a selection within another selection? Sort of like a clipping mask for a clipping mask, so that you can stay within the initial shape while making another shape with the (probably polygonal) lasso tool, without just putting a lasso tool over a clipping mask? I feel that it would speed up my work flow. No worries if not of course!

Glad to hear that!

Thanks for the feedback - I'll definitely make a video on those painting steps soon!

Thank you!

Spice must flow

Si

@@fowlerillus in the negative space.

@@LiamRomanis Oh my god! Now I get it. I swear that was unintentional. Haha-amazing!

Yes! I am almost positive that the abr file will work with Procreate

Beautiful visuals in that game

Hi! I teach shape design like this in my mentorship Concept Art Academy but I have a course called Painting Machines in the DPS skillbuilder subscription that is much cheaper if you want to check that out. I don't really have a RUclips video about designing machines specifically but this one may be helpful ruclips.net/video/mNQIedvyOWM/видео.html

Awesome - have fun!

Glad it was helpful!

Thanks :) I'm glad you enjoyed the video

That's a really good point. I definitely didn't mean to say that all detail is bad - I love finding those little lovingly crafted areas of focus in art too and that's a really cool idea to put it somewhere unexpected like an easter egg.

Mostly just basic brushes but my brush pack is available for free on the DPS Discord if you'd like to grab it. www.digitalpaintingstudio.com/community

noted sit thank you so much@@fowlerillus

You're welcome

Right on - this was super fun and I'd love to do it again

Thanks! Glad you like it :)

Awesome! Welcome

Glad you think so!

You got this :)

Good luck!

That can be quite a challenge. I think using a photo or another piece of art to sample colors from is a great way to practice and to master that atmospheric perspective bit. As for making something seem huge - those color queues can help communicate distance (and hence size) but there are other ways like density of detail and other scale queues that can help make something seem massive.

Glad it was helpful!

Great question and it's probably time for another video on that. The short answer is that I just don't know but I have reasons for optimism. Broadly, I think AI is going to change life in huge ways for all people and professionals so I think we are in for a very strange 5-10 years ahead for humanity. For concept art and illustration, while I have heard reports of layoffs happening around the industry, things seem very steady from my perspective. I am personally busier than I have ever been but much more importantly, younger artists who I have mentored are starting their careers so the jobs are still out there - even as AI tools are becoming widely used. This leads me to believe and hope that AI is not solving all problems that a concept artist is called upon to solve, that people still like working with people and that creatives are still valued in larger projects. I think pursuing art as a career or even a hobby is still as worthwhile today as it was five years ago - it has always been a hard road and a competitive world, so in many ways this latest challenge doesn't feel much different. Hoping for the best!

You're welcome 😊 I'm glad you liked it

Hey! This is Photoshop and I'm working on a Mac Desktop with a Wacom Intuos Pro. I haven't tried Krita but I hear it has great brushes
