Scott Flanders, an artist from Riot Games, came to the Proko studio to film a series on how he develops ideas. In this first part of the series he creates digital graphic poster of Swamp Thing! He’ll take you through his process starting with simple greyscale silhouettes in photoshop and then carving them into a more complex colored piece. In the remainder of this series, he’ll develop his concepts further with a sculpture and oil painting.

Me: downloads thousands of photoshop brushes
Scott: makes masterpiece with lasso tool
Me: *cries in corner*
The magic isn't in the brushes, the magic is in you
@@Le_Phantom No you're the magic!

but yeah all 🔥@@nyaa2478
Yay Scott! So happy to see this!
Yay I'm the first internet stranger to reply to you! XD
i also appreciate your video about shapes and shadow. This too looks like a fun experiment.
Now you just need to do your video on shape design and we can *really* start getting into it xD
as soon as he started talking about shape design i immediately thought of you :)
Sinix Design eyy just here to tell you that video about the importance of speed was amazing
Mah man Scott! He's a legend!
Ahmed Aldoori Hey Sinix: how r u
@@bfjerky For realz
Said the legend
No U
Great Scott!?
Chill dude with some solid art wisdom.
"No polished turds in my classroom." I will remember that rule, thank you.
"These big veins are useful in two ways. 1. They make him look jacked."
Damn, that was crazy! Never seen someone do so much with 'Lasso' tool!
you need to watch this then th-cam.com/video/CCKnp1AHpoY/w-d-xo.html
Concept artists use it a looooot, i learned it on a Chanel called tonko house
@Lara you are welcome! i´m happy to help!
I use it almost exclusively at this point, so this was a very helpful video!
I can't believe we get such amazing content like this all the time for FREE
Data harvesting pays for it
More people talking about shape is always appreciated!
"thinking, I believe, the most useful thing you can do"
wisdom for the ages my man!
The lasso is such an underrated tool. It bridges the lines of pencils and shapes of brushes. It’s a great way to learn to paint as well as for painting. I use it all the time and as much as I use brushes.
If you have a tablet, the mobile app Infinite Painter (not to be confused with Corel Painter) has a customizable fill brush. It's a lasso tools that autofills instead of creating a selection.
Few people have heard of it (small dev team. No marketing. No popular influencers use it) so most assume it's bad. I've been using Painter professionally (3V071 visual information specialist) for close to a decade. They worked out the bugs over time if the reviews concern you. I haven't sent a big report in over a year. The workflow takes a few sessions to be comfortable (their marketing campaign at launch was "we are not photoshop") but it's smooth once you force yourself to get over the fact that it's not an Adobe clone.
Apologies for the long rant like I'm a salesman. I get excited when I hear people say they love lasso tools because Painter feels like a secret. They made every tool a little more user friendly than market average and the result is pretty awesome
Very nice, a completely different emphasis on starting a project than I'm used to. I feel my brain changing.
Yeah. Same
You single-handedly rekindled my passion for drawing. I don't know how to explain this, but the first time i used this technique it "clicked" for me - i could see shapes in the formless blobs of colour and i knew how to give them form by using light. This video flipped my art on its head. Thank you so much!
Mind Blown. I have been working with and teaching Photoshop for years. This is such a brilliant approach to illustration. Thank you for sharing!!
I was using it a lot when I was designing websites. If you need a background, some quick effects or elements of UI, it's perfect to make them characteristic. And most importantly - none of my clients had an issue with it even when I was working on huge IPs because it didn't hurt their visual language. This technique is also great for texturing - you're just adding details and even if you're working on something realistic it's just matter of how much time you spend on the project, how many colors you use. It also gives you lot of control without practicing discipline of your hand a lot. For this moment I didn't really learn it as a form of making art pieces but after this video I'll will practice it a lot.

until you started that kind of video i had a sort of bad impression of you... its completelly different now. very good!
First guy that has ever put into words about how I feel about flat vs rendered illustrations. Never cared about shadow rendered art. Once you’re in graphic design, it messes with your mind. You never look at art the same way again.
This is still my all time favorite art video on youtube. I come back to this video every now and then cause it’s just so helpful for me
In Preston Blair’s book on animation, there is a section that talks about choosing poses, and the preferred are poses where the action is clear from the silhouette. I feel like it’s a similar concept to your “drawing by shapes” idea. Great video! I enjoyed listening as you explain your thought process 👍
"What kind of brushes do you use?"
Scott: *Starts laughing
I was recently in a very large bookstore, and the one book with silhouette cover art was the only book in the entire store that genuinely caught my attention. It's now my favorite book.
this was a fantastic episode, the artwork is like the old classic movie posters and there was alot of small little tips and tricks and the grey scale image was like a frank frazetta concept and using the core basics of design and shapes to tell a story, SO many things to like about this video.
Your like the Digital Artist version of Bob Ross!
You just made all of this from just a Lasso tool, wow.
he was talking about "happy accidents" in the video too lol
You beat me to it, I was just about to make the same comment
the metal Bob Ross, hell yeah.
I love that way of approaching the image by carving out the shadows and focusing on the silhouette. Very cool.
Dudes, THANK YOU, for that episode! I follow Scott on AS for a long time. I've learned a lot from his thumbs. So simple but so accurate and easy to read. This video is such a gem.
Not only was this insightful, but Scott, your chill vibe really spoke to me on a deeper level. I'd love to be a fly on the wall of your classroom.
It's really awesome to have you narrating. I don't see a lot of these kinds of instruction vids with narration this good.
Interesting, the lasso tool seems to get you more jagged lines than using round brush & eraser
this video, your technique, the way you think about shapes, light and consistency, everything has been so helpful and amazing. Tank you.
"We're gonna run some chromatic aberration on this bitch"
For some reason it took me by surprise to hear "bitch" on the Proko channel of all places
I was really curious about how they get such interesting shapes. Nice!
This is legit one of the best videos I've ever seen on TH-cam. Amazing
I really respect the comparison to graphic design here, and the emphasis to visually communicate what your intentions are
woke up at 3 am, couldn't sleep. got this recommended and i am completely blown away. this is phenomenal art and craftsmanship
I love this!! I already use the lasso tool exclusively for shading. This really helps me see the true potential of my toolkits! Thank you, Scott and Proko!
Impeccable sense of making shapes.
Love it Fantastic reminder of how much i love swamp thing, mike mignola, mood, swamps…and just wonderful technique
Just finished watching. More please! I'd subscribe to Scott so hard if he showed up on TH-cam. In general, I've watched a lot of tutorials and practiced concepts a fair bit, so now I find that these kind of "talkthrough" demos help so much more than they used to. Really grateful that you made this happen Stan ❤
Evolve was a really cool game the environments were definitely one of its strong points so good on you man.
This is absolutely awesome. This came together very quickly with the lasso tool. I'll have to try shaping like this in the future.

*~ Geri The Toy Repairman*
Wow! Really glad youtube led me to this page. Never really thought of shape carving as the actual artform. was always taught to use it to get quick shapes to work on. Never to develop it further. so awesome
Excellent! Scott Flanders masterfully communicates his process and makes it really easy to understand what, why and how. Video editing was great. Very inspiring.
never thought about using the lasso tool like this, cool tips man
4:20 "[...] Shapes [...] are not in demand right now." *And it shows!. Honestly every mayor game release these days has really weird shape language. You cant read silhouettes at a distance and everything becomes a blur. We NEED people like you!.*
(Oh and Evolve was a beautiful game. Sadly the game was a flop)
Some game designers get it yet it seems that silhouette communication is a disappearing skill. Factions should be able to be differentiated from their contours alone, yet so many designers seem to get lost in colours and gribbly details that can't be processed in the thick of the action.
Try the game "Typoman"
That's how practice pays off. This was so amazing and helpful to watch.
Holy crap man, thank you so much for the video. Proko way to go getting Scott to show his process, the way he explained made a lot of sense and for the first time I have seen someone started separating the grounds and designing the shape before heading towards the rest. Very helpful
Whoa! I've been doing this type of lasso draw and fill technique too before this video. You get some really nice hard edged vector-like shapes.
I would never have thought you create something so great with the lasso tool
That was great! There's so much about the mental problem solving process that comes through watching you work. Looking forward to the next vids!!
It looks like a rad screen sprint! Very cool technique.
I love this so much. The art just looks very satisfying!
“If you are into metal Samson is your guy” biblical bad ass dude reference….love the way your mind works Scott
Awesome! Looking forward for part 2
Scott Ive studied your Thumbnail Silhouettes extensively and they are simply exceptional.
I love this! Such a cool way to approach an image. It really forces you to think about and deal with the major shapes, composition, layout, depth, etc before you start getting caught up in details. I myself often rush to the details and in the end realize there is something not quite right about the image or I find it difficult to figure out what to do with the background. Sadly it typically results in me not putting a background in at all. I'll have to work this up-front shape carving into my process.
This was amazing!! I was looking at posters in this style on pinterest for ages and always felt so inspired without really knowing how to tackle this.. now I know. Thanks so much
Wow first video I’ve seen on this channel. I want this guy as my teacher, I’ve learned more in 2 minutes of hearing him talk than one semester of Drawing
The greatest intro
It's incredible how one picture can encourage you to make up and tie different plots to it.
what a great technique, he builds the scenery so easily... wow man, thank you!
Love those bold shapes.
One of the best videos I have seen in a long time. thanks.
Love this tutorial - thanksyou so much Scott.
This is fascinating! The use of the lasso tool here is amazing! I've just got into drawing in the last few months and I'm finding the digital world so challenging. I can't believe how impactful, and easy, Scott makes this look. Awesome work.
Thanks for sharing your knowledge!
So beautiful... I learned so much!
I'd love to see another video with him! Love his style.
this is something very fitting for me. i was going through my "art parents" list and marking down what i like about them, and what i don't, and shape was a huge focus on shapes and silhouettes. real helpful for me.
Yes, this. More of this!
This was great. I once tried this a few years ago but never really pursued more with this style of art. I will have to give it a shot again, it just looks fun and creates a really interesting aesthetic.
I have a new appreciation for shapes.
Love this. A hundred times better than any drawing class I ever took in college.
This guy is AWESOME! What a great video! Thank you Scott!
*this was insane!!! You're a master Proko* - subscribed!
Really nice video Scott. Thanks
Dude this is brilliant work
Love it!
Wow man... Your process is awesome.. How you use shape and colors is just amazing. The result is breathtaking. I am learning from such great peoples on the planet. Keep Creating !
That chromatic aberration trick is great! I was doing it in a more complicated way.
really dope and in depth composition
Never would have thought to use the lasso tool like that. I'm stoked, now.
This was so good! Loved watching and listening to his thoughts
Thank you for this video!!! I wish I'd seen this a year ago!!! Even still, thank you for the
insights. This is definitely the kind of information I need so much right now! I'm
learning lasso tool and making graphic shapes so this was like you sitting down
and talking to me!! I relate so much!! Thank you
Brilliant stuff!!
Super interesting, what a full immersion of great knowledge! Thanks!
Dude, this is eye opening. Awesome.
This is extremely important for me right now since I’m trying to do a background in a fantasy setting. I got frustrated and started working on the character before truly dealing with the setting.
That was really good! Thanks.
Right on Scott! Making the Illustration Department proud!
Awesome presentation! Thank you so much for this!
This is amazing, thanks so much for sharing your process ❤️
That was great!
this guy makes it looks so easy
That’s so cool. You make it seem so effortless. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
I love this! Thank you so much. I have had great use of your videos Proko and as an art-teacher i also get inspiration to make my own assignments and carry on the knowledge to my students. :D
What you do is very unique and looks amazing. Good job.
That was amazing, dude. Hugely inspired to try some silhouettes of my own. Thanks a bunch for sharing your process!
