ive been limiting myself to 5 hours art requests, it helped me organize and streamline my layers soooo much better, instead of agonizing over a bunch of extra unnecessary layers. I also started using shape fill to set up my masks , and damn, that tool saved almost 40 minutes of cleaning things up.
For landscapes I limit myself to one hour. Characters, around two-three. When I picked up Photoshop painting, switching from oil/watercolor, back in 2005-2006 I was very slow, software learning one thing but the other were my traditional painting habits. Literally "watching the paint dry" XD Digital painting allows for faster visualization, but also lures you into thinking "I might revisit this detail" (over and over) etc. but keeping it all simple (little to no layers, basic brushes, free strokes) is the key I'd say. Even with very detailed paintings on which I used to spend around 20-40 hours, today I can do it even more detailed but in less than 3 hours. Final note: you don't have to paint each detail, the eye/brain will fill in where needed, it's a matter of clever placement of "gaps" for the brain to fill.
only on a half of a video i noticed that right bar doesn't change color and even layers are not changing lol amyway, it was a useful video. i myself struggle a lot with drawing slow to the point that i can't finish one piece even after 6 months. thank ypu for your advices.
Yeah it is pretty much an empty clip studio interface screenshot, I just didn't know how else to make it into a horizontal format video with a 5:4 artwork recording
I returned to this video and really want to try change my pipeline to yours. All my career I was using lineart and due to the amount of current work I... Burnt out. Can't even open a Photoshop without feeling stressed. But maybe changing the approach would help? Being free from the need of drawing accurate lines and instantly jump to the drawing patterns, shapes and light... Damn, that really sounds great! Can you please give a bit more advices about the pipelines transition? I would be grateful for anything and I'm already grateful for what you shown in the video!
I wish you would point out that learning/practicing fundamentals outside of daily drawing is also sort of a must if you want to improve/cut short time when creating illustrations. It's tedious but saves a lot of time and frustration later. It may sound obvious, but many beginner and even mid artists run into that trap (myself including). Otherwise good points, thank you for the video.
To be honest I am not a fan of practising fundamental in isolation, they don't seem to sink well like that. However if you focus on a particular one while doing a given paitning, that would be some proper practise in my opinion. but yeah overall having a better grasp on all the fundamentals will make you better and faster for sure, its just a matter of how we get there
"I did more than a hundred and fifty artworks that week" - I was like "Wait, wha..."
haha that would be a little too much at that point
Bro just came back from a job interview

hell yeah man good work
It's so cool that Viktor from Arcane has taken to teaching painting on TH-cam! Fantastic work! (*￣▽￣)b
I can't unhear it now 😭
man there's no way you're human, a piece every 2 days? holy you're my idol from this point forward
Such a beautiful painting
Good advice for me as i am a very slow artist, who used to do 1 major big work a month. spassiva
Thanks for the motivation! I want to draw faster, but I’m a super slow poke, I’ll try to let loose more. I tend do hung up on details…

great video!!!
I personally think the scale of the waist and legs makes the character appear too short. But I like the rendering :)
Yeah I agree, you can see me chaning it throughout the process, it was even worse at first.
awesome video!
Going strong Ereg (your friend Codi here)
That was very aspiring, thank you!
