As a painter illustrator and art teacher you were really speaking my language This is a perfect video. You communicated all these helpful things in such a comprehensive and inclusive way, no over complicated academic jargon. Nicely done, subscribed
I thought this is the hardest thing for me to achieve while watching but i decided to try 100headchallenge with this method and trusted the process. At the end of it i spent more time for details , now i cant believe i did a perfect portrait with just putting pigments one by one. If there are people out there who wants to do this but doubting, DONT. Just start and trust the process you wont believe yourself. Thanks for the video
I love that! Thank you so much for watching. Yes- trust the process! And good for you with 100headchallenge. You will improve so much! Wishing you the best :)
THIS. I didn’t think I would get close to the actual picture but I went ahead and tried anyway. Now even though I haven’t finished the portrait yet, I still can’t believe how far I got
This is the first YT channel I have encountered that talks about how to paint. I digital paint but learned from watching traditional artists and translated what I saw to digital myself over the 2020 pandemic when I had all the time in the world. Most digital painting channels go for clout or just show what the tools can do without trying to build the persons actual skill. Then we have these beginning artists not knowing certain skills that would help them build. Their foundation is weak due to not having seen the right information. What is in this video was the first 6-8 months of me trying to learn how to digital paint. That info is critical. It builds some type of foundation for any beginning artist to follow. Without that foundation, supplementing new concepts or ideas might be difficult. I didn't use any of the tools or digital art for 1 year so I could learn how to fix things without them. This is why it is important to DO and not simply just watch. After 1 year I got decent and posted a timelapse painting of a self-portrait. Not the best but I wanted to start a YT channel but bailed on that idea. I decided to learn more about the fundamentals of art. Now my skills are better. I actually think this channel is amazing I wanted to do something like it, but I see you can explain it clearly and concisely and the setup is great. I'll subscribe, watch and comment for the channel growth. This is a real deal art channel.
Thank you for your words! I'm so glad to hear that. I love both traditional paint (oil paints) and digital, so my process for traditional painting comes into my digital approach as well. I wish you the very best in your art and your YT channel! Thank you very much for your comment and subscribe. I appreciate it!
I paint oil on canvas and I really really love the fundamentals all the way to finalizing and how you approach this, Gabrielle. Fantastic. Really learned some great stuff. Thank you!!
This is quite similar to how I work. I use the reference window feature, rather than side by side. But I prefer your approach. Being able to blur reference is a very smart idea. Would like to see how you finish too. I often stop a little bit too early.
I do that too. Sometimes it's hard to get to the finish line with a piece. I can lose my initial excitement for it sometimes. Glad you like the approaches shared! Thanks for watching :)
Took a hiatus from painting on my ipad for 2 years! Just ordered my new one and im getting some inspo in before i start! Amazing work and an amazing teacher!
Thank you for you advice! I never try to blur my references before. I always struggled how to paint more simple and this is true solution for me! I tried today and it's really amazing! It works for me perfectly! thank you!
I’ve wanted to get into painting for a long time but it just never quite clicked with me, this video has been a refreshing change in perspective for how to approach it. Hopefully with what I’ve learned here I can actually create the portrait I’m trying to capture instead of a shaky mess of blobs and lines haha
I'm so happy to hear that!! Thanks for watching! This more painterly approach can be much less intimidating than working with lines and drawing. It can be super intimidating to draw and make everything perfect! This approach is more like working with clay. Everything stays pliable until you're ready to lock it in. Have fun!
@@gabriellebrickey thank you, it definitely helped like I was hoping. I made far more progress in the aforementioned portrait than my previous attempt, though I have taken a couple weeks off to avoid digital art burnout.
Really great work. Been drawing and painting all my life, Even my mother wanted me to become an artist. However that want were i wanted to go. But back to topic, so many people focus on realism, photography like and i just don’t feel that for me. Still trying to find my spot.
I'm also a person who draws using the Procreate app. The painting style is my favorite style. I was fascinated by the video, so I subscribed. Thank you very much for inspiring me on how to paint through the video.😍😍😍😍😍
Thank you for this wonderful video! because of this tutorial i've now signed up and i'm doing the piece together with you. It's really helping build my confidence back and opening my eyes to new techniques and ways of working! I'm also veey grateful for the brushes that come with it, so we can really follow along with you 💞

I have it in my set here! gabrielle-brickey.mykajabi.com/free-procreate-brushes It was a brush that used to come standard w Procreate. I just modified it a bit for my uses.
So cool! The question. How or what software are you using to mirror your iPad when you’re drawing the part that’s showing up on the left? Thanks! If anyone knows, let me know.
ik this is just a preview of the main course but wish we could see a finished painting. or at least steps in general without going into detail. i loved your teaching method its simple yet detailed but i cant afford to sign up for one of your classes. hope in the future you'll do a free course like this
Thanks for letting me know! You can start for free (for one month) here: skl.sh/3jUrgCP Just be sure that if it's not right for you financially, you cancel before you're charged. Wishing you all the best! :)
It's pulled from a class, so no! I didn't mention it here. But what you'll do if you want to do this is duplicate your reference and then on the duplicated reference, go to Adjustments> Gaussian Blur> then slide your finger horizontally across your iPad to apply the level of blur you want. :) This is great for eliminating details in the reference and seeing the "big picture" :) Painting these more important shapes will help you make a great piece with good composition that reads well from a distance!

Thank you!! Yes- it would definitely be a better idea to avoid the color picker to build your understanding of color. You'll actually need color knowledge even when using the color picker! So this is a great skill to grow. Here is one of the best ways to study color: Paint from life! Back when I was more in "study mode," my teachers would set up still lives and we would paint the main colors we see. I would do this on my own too. A simple, matte, colored bowl (maybe picked up at a thrift store) would be a great way to study color! Make it so that direct sunlight is hitting the bowl and creating defined shadow shapes. (painting outside on a sunny day is great for this. Or by a big window, indoors.) Paint your best guess at the main colors you see. Then ask yourself once you make your best guess- okay.... is it lighter or darker compared to what I painted? Is it more saturated or less saturated with color? is it warmer or cooler? etc. make adjustments and refine the colors after you make your best guess. Painting from life is where it's at for learning color! Wishing you all the best!
There are a couple approaches I've used over the years. Back when I could paint from life, we'd get everything up on the canvas- finding the darkest dark, the lightest light, and the most saturated color and making sure they're put down. I thought this was a good approach for blocking in and finding the hierarchy. Another approach you can use is to paint in mostly mid-tones. (Like the medium values of the piece.) Then at the end pop in dark accents- darkest darks and highlights. I've found both of these approaches useful and they are worth trying out. Nowadays, I tend to just use shapes of value. Not particularly focused on order, but I do tend to leave the little sparkle highlights for the end. I find if you give them too much attention in the beginning, they lose their specialness and the painterly quality.
hi!! i know im really late but im only 15 and always do my drawing on paper, im not the best but thats how ive always done them ans i want to learn how to do paintings and such on my ipad but i feel like i wouldnt consider myself doing real art since its digital, would you say it feels the same as if you were painting on a canvas?
Thank you! I recorded overhead and then I also recorded my ipad screen. It was sort of a nightmare. hah! Here's how to do a screen recording: support.apple.com/guide/ipad/take-a-screenshot-or-screen-recording-ipad08a40f3b/ipados
I create a new canvas, 3500 by 5000, 300dpi. Then I insert the photo on the left. Then I duplicate the photo and drag it over to the right. (Keeping magnetic and snapping on so its the exact size.) Then I alpha lock that 2nd layer on the right, by swiping right on the layer with two fingers and pressing alpha lock. Then I color it in with a biiiig brush so it's that flat color that you see. Then I have two rectangles, side by side, which are the exact size. (this makes it so much easier to get the correct proportions!) The photo on the left, the soon to be painting on the right. Then I start painting :)
@@gabriellebrickeythank you 😊I will try this with different subjects. I hope the iPad will be even bigger in the future so we can have more space to play with.
Hi, I tried to open your free brush set and the Zip file didn’t open. I also would like to try out the brush you initially used in your demo, but I’m not sure which package it is in. I’m using an iPad/iPhone/MacBook pro. I liked the way you started your painting and I wanted to try to do the same thing myself. Thanks
Hey there! The first brush is the 6B brush found here: gabrielle-brickey.mykajabi.com/free-procreate-brushes you should be able to unzip it by double-clicking on a computer. :) Have fun!
Hmm are you using Procreate? If you think there is too much white in your colors, push your color more saturated towards the color itself. Or perhaps, push it darker in value when you're selecting a color.
Hello Gabrielle, i really liked that image of reference, where can i get it to go hand by hand with the tutorial, can you please pass the link ?than you!!!!!1 big fan
Hey there! Thanks so much! So I actually had to purchase a license from Shutterstock to use this image and be able to share it with my class. But if you purchase the course, you are able to get the reference with the class artworkbygabrielle.gumroad.com/l/paintwithme :) Or you can license the image here: www.shutterstock.com/image-photo/sexy-beautiful-redhead-woman-black-blouse-1810224943
Hey, I would like to help you, she's using a 6B brush for most of it, and she didn't mention the name for others,(I do these type of paintings and if it matters , I would say, use 6B, 8B, and a flat brush, that is more then enoughand for more minute details u may use hard airbrush
I love this! I suck at sketching and line drawing but am pretty decent at painting. I’ve been looking for procreate specific tutorials for painting without line drawing for so long and just couldn’t ever find anything. I didn’t know how to word the search. Is there a name for this specific style/method if I want to find more? Also, I’m definitely going to check out your class!
I haven't really done Portraits before. I have done Something Like portraits for Fantasy characters/critters. But they are usually more sketchy and not well realistic like your doing. I was wondering if i can learn from this to help with the more fantasy side of my portraits or incorperate the technique. 🤔 I guess it's time to go back to basics and relearn and try this out! c:
If you'd like to DM me some of your work examples, my account on insta is artworkbygabrielle and I'd be happy to take a look and let you know if I think it would be a good fit! If you want to learn how to draw your fantasy characters in a more painterly style, I'd say yes! Because you will learn many techniques. (especially if you're working in Procreate!) All the best! :)
Hi Gabrielle, I want to buy the brush set you used in this video on your etsy store, but I'm not sure which brush set it is, since you have so many. Please let me know which set it is, thanks
Hey there! Thanks for your interest! I actually have this set in my class. I don't sell this set by itself bc it has some modified Procreate standard brushes in the set. I have it as a freebie in the full course though, available on Skillshare and Gumroad :) If you'd like though, here are my very faves for FREE and the ones I used most in the making of this piece! artworkbygabrielle.gumroad.com/l/freebrushes Have fun and thank you for watching!
I'm using an iPad Pro- Specifically a 12.9-inch 4th generation here. This is my daily tablet. But I've used several and they have all been excellent. I think you can't go wrong with an ipad or ipad pro. (and apple pencil!) They are awesome! amzn.to/485AEXM Here's what I would recommend if you're interested.
The image is here: www.shutterstock.com/image-photo/sexy-beautiful-redhead-woman-black-blouse-1810224943 You can also get the HQ version when you purchase the class since I bought an Enhanced License so students can paint along w me :) artworkbygabrielle.gumroad.com/l/paintwithme
Enjoyed the tutorial very much, as I am more into line work than painting, and this was just the thing to make my confidence in going line-free. Also. What's with this fascination for faces. And no, I am not judging you, because I do this too. I love a pretty/interesting/storytelling face probably to the point that it could be a bit creepy for some if I see a face I like 😅... but honestly, I just adore faces. They tell you so much and yet so little of the person inside.
I don’t know! Lol I’ve always loved faces too. Thank you for watching! I hope you will try out and enjoy this approach. It’s a very freeing way to paint and makes it feel more like sculpting almost. Have fun!
Please join me in my full Skillshare class here! skl.sh/3jUrgCP I can’t wait to paint with you! :D Also available here: artworkbygabrielle.gumroad.com/l/paintwithme Please let me know if you have any questions. Thanks for watching!
All in the class here: artworkbygabrielle.gumroad.com/l/paintwithme this is only the Getting Started portion of class. Apologies for any confusion there.
Literally deleted a portrait that i was doing of my girlfriend. I know it doesnt have to be perfect (especially after years of not drawing or painting), i still cant get over it. I feel like I fell so hard. I literally have a portrait of a tiger that I did back in 10th grade ten years ago thats actually pretty good and I just keep comparing myself to that. It’s rough 😂
I hear you! We all paint good ones and bad ones throughout our lives. It happens to me too. I made some bad art the other day lol- it happens!! If you love it though, keep going. You'll get better as you move forward with continuous effort!
I'd love to! Join the course here: skl.sh/3jUrgCP Make a project and upload it to the project section and ask for a critique. If you've never joined on Skillshare, you can join free for a month! :)
Если у вас нет большого опыта в рисовании портретов, то даже и не пытайтесь использовать такую технику без линейного наброска, разочаруетесь в результате!!!
It would depend I think. I use similar techniques when oil painting. Sometimes I'll make a light sketch first with turpentine and a little paint first. But then after that, I approach the big shapes in the same way. It might just depend on your process and specific medium.
What’s the point of color picking ? Artist do not need to draw a shape only, they need to understand what color they are using, why and how ? There’s nothing to learn from that I get that you have the background knowledge but giving that idea to beginner is not a good idea. Understanding colors and training your eyes to be as accurate as possible can take a lot of time depending on the people so i think they should try and learn it as soon as they can and avoid color picking entirely
That's a fair point. I actually think the best way to learn color though is from painting from life. And probably with a traditional medium, where you can learn to mix too. With making art, you are balancing learning SOOOO many things all at once. I think its fine to let certain elements of design take a back seat while we focus on others- like value, shape, space, etc. Color is a beast and deserves its own class that this lesson wasn't going to cover. Towards the end of the video, you will hear I give a warning about the color picker- Eventually the color picker won't be quite as helpful anymore. Because there are so many colors in this reference image, it's hard to pick up the exact colors every time. Eventually, you'll have to go off the colors that actually ended up in your painting and shift to new colors from there. (Meaning, you'll have to have knowledge of color and value.) All of this takes times to develop. I do have classes on color though, so I respect the colors lol. Thanks for sharing your thoughts.
@@gabriellebrickeyjbh like I know how to make colour and in real life it’s much easy and for beginners specially it’s kinds difficult and time taking to manage you’re kinda right
Good question! I use a 3500 by 5000 px canvas. I put the photo reference on the left. I then duplicate the photo reference and drag it over to the right and place it perfectly side by side. Then I Alpha Lock the second photo reference. (You can do this by tapping the layer and pressing Alpha Lock) Next I take a big fluffy airbrush and I fill in the whole photo reference with one flat color. (You can grab a random background color) Then I'm ready to go with a perfect 1:1 ratio set up where my painting is the exact size of my reference. This is perfect for making measurements and finding accuracy. I'll have to make a little video about this soon to show it in action!
@@gabriellebrickey omg, thank you so much Gabrielle for this! A video would be fantastic, but I think I get the gist of it. This will be a huge help to me, as proportions are still a massive weak spot of mine 😅. Thank you! 🙏

How to set two part, reference photo, drawing screen, blur photo
It was sort of an editing nightmare! hah! But I screen recorded AND top down recorded my screen and then edited them together.
Do you have some general rules about using certain values/hues in certain parts of the process besides leaving the highlights towards the end?
There are a couple approaches I've used over the years. Back when I could paint from life, we'd get everything up on the canvas- finding the darkest dark, the lightest light, and the most saturated color and making sure they're put down. I thought this was a good approach for blocking in and finding the hierarchy. Another approach you can use is to paint in mostly mid-tones. (Like the medium values of the piece.) Then at the end pop in dark accents- darkest darks and highlights. I've found both of these approaches useful and they are worth trying out. Nowadays, I tend to just use shapes of value. Not particularly focused on order, but I do tend to leave the little sparkle highlights for the end. I find if you give them too much attention in the beginning, they lose their specialness and the painterly quality.
but where can i find the brushes you use?
hi!! i know im really late but im only 15 and always do my drawing on paper, im not the best but thats how ive always done them ans i want to learn how to do paintings and such on my ipad but i feel like i wouldnt consider myself doing real art since its digital, would you say it feels the same as if you were painting on a canvas?
Love this instruction video! How do you split the screen like this?
Thank you! I recorded overhead and then I also recorded my ipad screen. It was sort of a nightmare. hah! Here's how to do a screen recording: support.apple.com/guide/ipad/take-a-screenshot-or-screen-recording-ipad08a40f3b/ipados
How did you do the picture/painting split?
I create a new canvas, 3500 by 5000, 300dpi. Then I insert the photo on the left. Then I duplicate the photo and drag it over to the right. (Keeping magnetic and snapping on so its the exact size.) Then I alpha lock that 2nd layer on the right, by swiping right on the layer with two fingers and pressing alpha lock. Then I color it in with a biiiig brush so it's that flat color that you see. Then I have two rectangles, side by side, which are the exact size. (this makes it so much easier to get the correct proportions!) The photo on the left, the soon to be painting on the right. Then I start painting :)
@@gabriellebrickey thanks so much!
@@gabriellebrickeyCould you please make a tutorial video for making new canvas?
@@artbyharry1108 You mean like how I set this up?
@@gabriellebrickeythank you 😊I will try this with different subjects. I hope the iPad will be even bigger in the future so we can have more space to play with.
Hi, I tried to open your free brush set and the Zip file didn’t open. I also would like to try out the brush you initially used in your demo, but I’m not sure which package it is in. I’m using an iPad/iPhone/MacBook pro. I liked the way you started your painting and I wanted to try to do the same thing myself. Thanks
Hey there! The first brush is the 6B brush found here: gabrielle-brickey.mykajabi.com/free-procreate-brushes you should be able to unzip it by double-clicking on a computer. :) Have fun!
everytime i mix its mixed with a white color, when i dont want that, how do i fix that?
Hmm are you using Procreate? If you think there is too much white in your colors, push your color more saturated towards the color itself. Or perhaps, push it darker in value when you're selecting a color.
Great stuff!
thank you!!
Amazing video! Thank you for all the patience to explain step by step!
Of course! Thank you for watching!
Awfully perfect
Hello Gabrielle, i really liked that image of reference, where can i get it to go hand by hand with the tutorial, can you please pass the link ?than you!!!!!1 big fan
Hey there! Thanks so much! So I actually had to purchase a license from Shutterstock to use this image and be able to share it with my class. But if you purchase the course, you are able to get the reference with the class artworkbygabrielle.gumroad.com/l/paintwithme :) Or you can license the image here: www.shutterstock.com/image-photo/sexy-beautiful-redhead-woman-black-blouse-1810224943
What brush are you using here? Thanks in advance!
Hey, I would like to help you, she's using a 6B brush for most of it, and she didn't mention the name for others,(I do these type of paintings and if it matters , I would say, use 6B, 8B, and a flat brush, that is more then enoughand for more minute details u may use hard airbrush
Great tutorial
Thanks so much!
I love this! I suck at sketching and line drawing but am pretty decent at painting. I’ve been looking for procreate specific tutorials for painting without line drawing for so long and just couldn’t ever find anything. I didn’t know how to word the search. Is there a name for this specific style/method if I want to find more?
Also, I’m definitely going to check out your class!
Thank you! Such a good question. I've heard it called painting in masses of color, or color massing :)
I feel like im in a college class. this is so good!
Thank you!! :D I'm so glad!
Beautiful 🤩
Thank you! :)
I haven't really done Portraits before.
I have done Something Like portraits for Fantasy characters/critters. But they are usually more sketchy and not well realistic like your doing.
I was wondering if i can learn from this to help with the more fantasy side of my portraits or incorperate the technique. 🤔
I guess it's time to go back to basics and relearn and try this out! c:
If you'd like to DM me some of your work examples, my account on insta is artworkbygabrielle and I'd be happy to take a look and let you know if I think it would be a good fit! If you want to learn how to draw your fantasy characters in a more painterly style, I'd say yes! Because you will learn many techniques. (especially if you're working in Procreate!) All the best! :)
beautiful
Thank you! :))
Hi Gabrielle, I want to buy the brush set you used in this video on your etsy store, but I'm not sure which brush set it is, since you have so many. Please let me know which set it is, thanks
Hey there! Thanks for your interest! I actually have this set in my class. I don't sell this set by itself bc it has some modified Procreate standard brushes in the set. I have it as a freebie in the full course though, available on Skillshare and Gumroad :) If you'd like though, here are my very faves for FREE and the ones I used most in the making of this piece! artworkbygabrielle.gumroad.com/l/freebrushes Have fun and thank you for watching!
amazing videos, if i may ask what ipad were you using in this video or what kind of ipad do you use usually?
I'm using an iPad Pro- Specifically a 12.9-inch 4th generation here. This is my daily tablet. But I've used several and they have all been excellent. I think you can't go wrong with an ipad or ipad pro. (and apple pencil!) They are awesome! amzn.to/485AEXM Here's what I would recommend if you're interested.
@@gabriellebrickey thankyou for the reply and recommendations!
Could this work on animals? I love animals like primates and monkeys like as gibbons and squirrel monkeys and I really want to paint them
Absolutely!
what Application you recommend the most for Android regardless of learning curve ?
I'm not sure, but i've heard great things about Clip Studio Paint
@@gabriellebrickey i’m using it currently along with sketchbook, thanks for your reply
Where can I find that picture??
The image is here: www.shutterstock.com/image-photo/sexy-beautiful-redhead-woman-black-blouse-1810224943 You can also get the HQ version when you purchase the class since I bought an Enhanced License so students can paint along w me :) artworkbygabrielle.gumroad.com/l/paintwithme
This is great but here the heck do I download the brushes you used😭
Thank you! You can find most of them here! gabrielle-brickey.mykajabi.com/free-procreate-brushes :) Enjoy!!
Enjoyed the tutorial very much, as I am more into line work than painting, and this was just the thing to make my confidence in going line-free.
Also. What's with this fascination for faces. And no, I am not judging you, because I do this too. I love a pretty/interesting/storytelling face probably to the point that it could be a bit creepy for some if I see a face I like 😅... but honestly, I just adore faces. They tell you so much and yet so little of the person inside.
I don’t know! Lol I’ve always loved faces too. Thank you for watching! I hope you will try out and enjoy this approach. It’s a very freeing way to paint and makes it feel more like sculpting almost. Have fun!
What tablet are you using?
I'm using an iPad Pro- Specifically a 12.9-inch 4th generation here. You can't go wrong with an ipad or ipad pro. They are awesome! amzn.to/485AEXM
Interesting approach, nice portrait. I was also wondering where one does get the Asaro head in this video? Thank you for uploading.
Thanks! Here's the link: www.planesofthehead.com/product-category/heads/
@@gabriellebrickeythanks a lot, much appreciated.
First let me say you are an incredibly talented artist. Second, someone should be painting portraits of you!
Aw thank you! I appreciate it :)
Nice
Please put the another part of the video to full fill the drawing tutorial video madam

Thank you!! :)
Literally deleted a portrait that i was doing of my girlfriend. I know it doesnt have to be perfect (especially after years of not drawing or painting), i still cant get over it. I feel like
I fell so hard. I literally have a portrait of a tiger that I did back in 10th grade ten years ago thats actually pretty good and I just keep comparing myself to that. It’s rough 😂
I hear you! We all paint good ones and bad ones throughout our lives. It happens to me too. I made some bad art the other day lol- it happens!! If you love it though, keep going. You'll get better as you move forward with continuous effort!
Please help me
I'd love to! Join the course here: skl.sh/3jUrgCP Make a project and upload it to the project section and ask for a critique. If you've never joined on Skillshare, you can join free for a month! :)
You know how I got over my anxiety of preciousness? I drew for 1hr and then deleted it….
Then I did it again and…..deleted it.
That is an interesting approach!!! Do you think it helped?

Если у вас нет большого опыта в рисовании портретов, то даже и не пытайтесь использовать такую технику без линейного наброска, разочаруетесь в результате!!!
Working with paint is completely different than this
It would depend I think. I use similar techniques when oil painting. Sometimes I'll make a light sketch first with turpentine and a little paint first. But then after that, I approach the big shapes in the same way. It might just depend on your process and specific medium.
What’s the point of color picking ? Artist do not need to draw a shape only, they need to understand what color they are using, why and how ? There’s nothing to learn from that
I get that you have the background knowledge but giving that idea to beginner is not a good idea. Understanding colors and training your eyes to be as accurate as possible can take a lot of time depending on the people so i think they should try and learn it as soon as they can and avoid color picking entirely
That's a fair point. I actually think the best way to learn color though is from painting from life. And probably with a traditional medium, where you can learn to mix too. With making art, you are balancing learning SOOOO many things all at once. I think its fine to let certain elements of design take a back seat while we focus on others- like value, shape, space, etc. Color is a beast and deserves its own class that this lesson wasn't going to cover. Towards the end of the video, you will hear I give a warning about the color picker- Eventually the color picker won't be quite as helpful anymore. Because there are so many colors in this reference image, it's hard to pick up the exact colors every time. Eventually, you'll have to go off the colors that actually ended up in your painting and shift to new colors from there. (Meaning, you'll have to have knowledge of color and value.) All of this takes times to develop. I do have classes on color though, so I respect the colors lol. Thanks for sharing your thoughts.
@@gabriellebrickeyjbh like I know how to make colour and in real life it’s much easy and for beginners specially it’s kinds difficult and time taking to manage you’re kinda right
this is not painting. you not even touch a drop of paint
It is a painting. But here is a traditional painting if that's more your style :) th-cam.com/video/vo6Eo4lWP-k/w-d-xo.html
How do you get the reference pic set up like that. 🥹
Good question! I use a 3500 by 5000 px canvas. I put the photo reference on the left. I then duplicate the photo reference and drag it over to the right and place it perfectly side by side. Then I Alpha Lock the second photo reference. (You can do this by tapping the layer and pressing Alpha Lock)
Next I take a big fluffy airbrush and I fill in the whole photo reference with one flat color. (You can grab a random background color)
Then I'm ready to go with a perfect 1:1 ratio set up where my painting is the exact size of my reference. This is perfect for making measurements and finding accuracy.
I'll have to make a little video about this soon to show it in action!
@@gabriellebrickey omg, thank you so much Gabrielle for this! A video would be fantastic, but I think I get the gist of it. This will be a huge help to me, as proportions are still a massive weak spot of mine 😅. Thank you! 🙏
