Can I Survive My First Photoshop Illustration on a Wacom Cintiq?

Creating My First Illustration in Photoshop on My New Cintiq | Watch Me Struggle Through the Process 😂
So I got myself a shiny new Wacom Cintiq and decided to dive headfirst into Photoshop to create my first-ever illustration on it! 🎨
Spoiler: It was both fun and a little chaotic. Join me on this wild ride as I tackle everything from a random photo study to dreaming up a character, experimenting with color thumbnails, and somehow managing to illustrate the whole thing without breaking my tablet (or my sanity).
What to expect in this video:
Me, awkwardly trying to figure out photo studies
Crafting a unique (or weird?) character design
Making four color thumbnails before choosing just one
The full, messy but exciting illustration process in Photoshop
If you're up for some creative chaos and want to see how this experiment turns out, grab some popcorn and enjoy the ride! 😂 Don’t forget to like, subscribe, and drop a comment if you relate to the struggle-or just to say hi! 👋

It took me way to long to finish this illustration and even longer to finish the video 😂

I love this video so much!! I love to see your process with Photoshop and the brushes your were using! I miss a lot to see more of illustration process in Photoshop. I would love to see a video of your brushes in Photoshop (once you settle with your favourite ones) and how you use them. I love that you showed the screen record, I think this way I could see way more details of the illustration than if it was you filming yourself drawing. Thank you for sharing.

Thank you so much ❤️ I'm so happy to hear that you like it, and I really appreciate your feedback on the screen recording!
There aren't that many Photoshop process videos, are there? I think it's because Procreate is more accessible and affordable. But the best thing about these two programs is that you can apply the same steps to create art in both of them ❤️

love this!

Thank you 🥰

Also love your art, very beautiful and charismatic, loved the way you do photo studies and make them more fun with changing the atmosphere and adding the character

[@hannatkachenko]

Thank you so much ️❤️ It is a good way to get out of artblock!

I'm the other way around! haha, just recently got an ipad and procreate :D
If it is very long illustrations I prefer cintiq due to screen size and it also feels REALLY good to draw on it. I think cintiq+ipad is the best combination ever

[@hannatkachenko]

Ohh, congrats!
I hope you're enjoying your iPad! I looove Procreate.
I feel like if you can work in Photoshop, you can easily switch to Procreate. Photoshop feels a bit overwhelming for me 😁

cool video where's your brushes?

[@hannatkachenko]

Thank you! I got all of them from Adobe Website, they are completely free!
