Thanks a lot Dean! Really enjoyed the video! Gotta admire how you notice each and every thing; from layer arrangements to brush settings. To be honest, I am not so good at compositing images like you guys do, so I just paint stuff where my photo-manipulation knowledge fails me! haha XD
It feels so good that a guy very near to me, in the same city, Islamabad and he is known as one of the best manipulation artists in the world. Some day will like to meet you and get some tips. Imad Awan Sir
@@PhotoManipulation He's an ingenious concept artist: he also posted a video about the brushes he uses and the video includes a link to his brush pack which you can download for free: here is a link to the video: th-cam.com/video/KBedJRi-j_s/w-d-xo.html
"Rim light" is the current preferred term for highlighting the edges of things. "Catch light" is the highlight(s) in the eyes that makes them look alive and sparkling. Love the reaction videos and your breakdown of their processes.
Watch this from start to end. Awesome value Dean! Thank you so much. You are 100% right, I keep saying that to people, they think that there is a perfect way or tool to do things, but Photoshop has 1000000 ways of doing the same thing which is great, because we are all different. The skills Imad and Phase Runner have with this painting over is something that takes years to master, that on top of the other skills that we need to work in Photoshop :))
Dean you are the man. Got your core skills course and the dirty tricks you share are epic. Can't wait to see what all the course offers. Huge inspiration.
This guy seems like he has an illustrator background as well - he knows how to light the thing manually with his sick brush work. This dude knows how to paint well
10:20 he's not using adjustment layers, he's painting directly into the pixel layers themselves, or layers above, working 'destructively'. The one advantage with this is that it always allows direct selection of image elements with the move tool on 'auto-select', which can also be reached with a shortcut. Unfortunately if you use masked adjustment layers, auto-select will not select the active layer, it will select the layers above. It's something I was asking Adobe to have as a preference years ago.
@@TheSecondOne123 Abbey, I was asking that years ago, and gave up. Auto-select has never been able to ignore masked adjustments sadly, I think its “ironed-into” the way photoshop handles the transparency of a layer, and layer masks. Seem to remember Chris Cox or someone arguing it would require too much to achieve it - when you take into account layer groups, and sub-groups, with their potential masks also.
@@PhotoManipulation He’s a painter with 'painting from scratch' background as a starting point. The brushes he links to are a huge selection that'll take you… anyway, generous of him of course.
Ex student of Deans and I can attest to the fact we were strongly encouraged to use the pen tool over any auto select tools! But great to see some examples of when a crisp edge isn’t necessary.
WOW! So much to take in!!! Like you I'm trying to take my artwork to another level. I currently use Daz Studio for 3D compositions but I'd like to have that "painted feel" to my pieces and this video is inspiring. Definitely gonna check out your Epic Overlays bundle as I'm sure I can put them to good use!
Imad is a very unique artist I enjoy his stuff my all time favorite of his are the Mars pieces with the rover, something about it just makes it stand out for me.
So, the purpose of using quick selection tool in photoshop is to quickly comp up the artwork at a faster rate. Most designers in the movie entertainment do this technique all the time, and when the artwork has been selected by the client. It’s up to the studio to hire a finisher/retoucher to rebuild the artwork that the artist created. It’s a faster/ loser way of working. But at the end…. The pen tool is more precise way of working on a higher end. It’s up to the artist on how they work. And if they received training from a creative director . They would be thought the proper way, using the pen tool or the brush tool. It depends on the teacher (creative director).
What ever I learnt today about concept arts I learnt from Imad Awan. He's really inspiring and I use his brushes. They're incredibly helpful and amazing. I have some tutorials of my arts in my channel. You can see how I used his techniques and mainly his brush in my arts.
Imad, at least once, gave away his brush colection in one of his videos. It is insane! I'm sure it will still be up for download. Otherwise, let me know; I'll sent it to you. @Imad you are awsome!!!!
@@PhotoManipulation cool! ill kindly recommend you something is thats possible.. make a photo manipualtion contest in the facebook group and react to them in a youtube video.. 🤗
That introduction is a mouth full xD Imad is a really amazing artist! Loved the breakdown too ^^ As for the brushes, he has a video talking about and sharing his brushes! Can look at them here :) th-cam.com/video/KBedJRi-j_s/w-d-xo.html

I mean, His stuff is nice, but calling Him "king" is quite a bit overstatement... look what one pixel brush guys do and then think again.... just saying... :P

Thanks so much for stopping by Imad!! Massively inspired by your workflow, I'll be attempting your style this year for sure. Cheers! :D

Nice!! Thanks for sharing Immortal :)
My new fave channel to chill out and binge watch. Love this series.
Found Imad a while back and it’s definitely fair to call him the photobash King.
LOVE the fact you binge watch these, thanks for the support Matteo! :)

Why it's such great software, SO MANY approaches!! Thanks for the great comment mate :)

Yeah, good point!!
Christ. every time i want to dip my feet further into photo manipulation, these videos make me shit myself lol. Great commentary bro!
Thanks!!
Great video - Been following Imad for a while. He's a BEAST!
He's so good to watch, thanks for the comment!!

This drives me crazy as well and I can't believe they haven't added a preference for it yet.
Crazy he throws down destructively like that!! :o
