The best 22 minutes of my life.
Hahaha :-D cheers!
i agree
It's not only great seeing the final piece but the process itself is mesmerizing.
Honestly, this is one of the most beautiful pieces of art I've ever seen.
Wow, thank you so much :-) that is very nice to hear!!
…dude did you grow up eating talent three times a day?
Dude spent hours, months, and maybe years drawing and painting. That just goes to show how hard he worked and dedicated he stayed
I bet he spent da whole decade working his ass off drawing and illustrating.
My respect to him is increasing☺️
Practice and practice plus knowing the basics like perspective, considering lights and shadows etc.
I would feel so accomplished if I could just paint something like 2:42.
:-) well, that is an important stage of the painting! Just keep at it. A painting/sketch every day!!
Yea Ikr
Nikolai Lockertsen What brush do you use at this point of the video?
If you can paint that, you can go all the way.
I would’ve called it done at 0:48
I have no idea why youtube algorithm recommended this to me but this is one of the greatest thing i've ever seen. Really impressive
This is incredible, well done!! ..so glad I found your channel!
Absolutely wonderful Nikolai - thank you for posting these inspiring tutorials.
I’m just obsessed with your style and those details:)
I love everything about this video omg you’re amazing
I am constantly in awe of your artistry and talent. Thank you so much for posting these tutorials. They are immensely helpful and inspiring!
Thank you very much :-) very glad you like it!
I think youre amazing person. You inspire me so much, and the way you talk is adorable. The whole video made me so calm and thank you, for showing me why exactly I need to learn how to draw and practise it.
This was very inspiring. Beautiful work
Masterpiece, you are an amazing artist!
really nice job. the deep saturation and warmth in the sky stands out, as does the reflection work down below. this is good keep it up. best of luck on your and your channel and much support from one artist to another. liked and subbed.
I must’ve watched this video 30 times or more... it’s my favourite piece you’ve done...such an inspiration to me to keep going with concept art! Thank you 🙏
Sorry for superlate response, but thank you very much!!
This is absolutely insane!
Absolutely incredible. Quick question if I may, how much does reference play in your work?
I love this soooo friggin much! Glad I have found your page, definitely will buy your tutorials, wish this piece would have a longer one also, I adore this pic so much.
Thank you very much :-)
i dont know why, but this one calms me while watching. very therapeutic. BTW you're work is amazing. more of this please. :)
Don’t mind me, just making some notes so that I can learn more about this kind of workflow. I love drawing with thick lineart, so I’m trying to learn how to make full blown coloured pieces in a realistic style (with a bit of stylization) of course :)
0:00 - laying down a sketch in a slightly dark grey. Focal point of the artwork is in a different shade for contrast. Thin but sketchy lineart used on top of a medium-grey background.
2:05 - Filling in the mid ground with a grey (at the right value, so it’s visible, but not so contrasting it takes away attention from the focal point - the human by the store. Pleasant for the eyes.) On a clipping mask to this layer, start shading.
2:08 - Okay, so I can’t figure out what, but something’s happened to the lineart to make it fade out into the distance, to look like atmospheric perspective. I think it’s just a clipping mask to the lineart, but teh shading looks too neat for that. It could be a layer mode or something, but I’m not too sure.
2:11 - Adding details in between the middle ground at background. Actually, I notice there aren’t clear-cut distinctions between the foreground, middle ground, and background in this piece like in real life, which helps sell it’s 3-dimensionality even more. This stuff is painted in another darkish shade of grey because it’s closer to the front.
2:30 - Painting buildings in the background in a lightish shade of grey, but it is still darker than the sky.
2:45 - the shorter buildings are done in a light colour. It might even be erased off the bigger buildings behind. The outlines are the same grey as the bigger buildings, but the smaller buildings are sky coloured. This adds to the variation without using so many shades of grey that it’s looks distracting.
3:07 - deetails. Thin outlines to mark out where things should be. Stuff in the foreground is a much darker colour. The signs help fill up empty space, balance the composition, and lead the eyes towards the main scene where a story is being told.
3:02 - So, those little buildings in the front were indeed erased. These blank spaces are filled in with a lighter, Low-contrast grey to mimic atmospheric perspective: blink and you’ll miss it, that was so fast.
3:40 - darkening the sky momentarily to check the values, I think. From then on, there’s a bunch of details being added, such as with the tiles.
3:57 - Making the background blue!! What a huge effect, this is when the painting starts to come to life, as it sets the mood for the rest of the piece. Note that this also affects the streetlights ‘between’ the middleground and background, but the bluishness is a lot lesser. Again, instead of blurring out the background, atmospheric perspective is used her to create depth. Not too sure which layer mode was used for this, because there was definitely one. It might’ve been overlay, I think. Anyways, A bright white added to the lamps too, to establish them as the brightest light sources in the scene.
4:01 - Brown added all over the ground and the buildings, but it’d desaturated, like the rest of the scene. I seriously can’t figure out which blending mode is being used. A splash of red over the shop walls, with green and yellow for its interior. The brightness compared to the rest of the scene suggests a strong light source. Later fades out into an orange that reflects and even permeates through the shop’s roofs. This is called subsurface scattering, I think, which suggests the little covers jutting out are made of cloth
4:07 - the orangey glow is reflected onto the ground where the kid is standing, and a bit onto the shop’s walls too. The ground also reflects teh bluishness of the sky in the middleground. This is usually more common when the ground is wet, after rain. Similarly, other areas such as the shop sign also reflect the bluishness. This gets stronger as we move to the back, where atmospheric perspective also lends to that blueish vibe.
4:11 - I have no idea how this jump in colouring was made, but things appear … brighter. I suspect it might be colour dodge, but my knowledge on blending modes is a bit weak.
4:15 - The use of pure white has been restricted to strong light sources, and the signs are one of them. Adding a bluish glow lends to the chilli nests of this scene. Also highlights the warmth of the shop.
4:20 - colouring in the blank spaces, such as the signboards.
4:44 - lots of shading and adding of shadows. These are rarely shadows with sharp edges, since this is an evening. Only harsh, bright sunlight like you see in midday cause sharp shadows. The shadows painted here seem to be done either with a round brush (light strokes) or a soft airbrush.
5:00 - coloured squares on the buildings, and then painting the light coming from within the city. The high rises fade out into the air due to atmospheric perspective.
5:53 - glowey lines :)
6:01 - windows on the ‘screen blending mode,’ I believe? Copy and paste + warping and distorting to distort the windows to the shape of the buildings.
9:10 - Clouds / smoke / mist / haze - round brush + smudging. Then alpha lock and paint over so the haze is lit up. This is on the ‘lighten’ mode.
10:33 - wolf.
Okay, that’s enough to work with for now. The rest is just a lot of detailing.
I have also replied to myself so that I can see this comment on a separate window of its own. Don’t mind me.
This is immensely helpful my friend. Thank you for summarising it - it helps me understand the process much better
Wow
You're voice is so nice to listen to and then the art is just mesmerising, fab job !
Thank you :-)
when art is beautiful and has a true message.
i really love the perspective !
I haven’t watched the hole thing yet but you just inspired me😍 thank you
Whole
Loved this too. Great atmosphere. Love your process. Inspirational.
Thank you very much :-)
I am pleased to see such a marvellous treatment done here. Thank you so much for this tutorial.
Thank you very much :-)
Another fantastic video. Thank you, Nikko!
Thank you. You are very welcome!
That was a great talkthrough, thank you and hope to see more, you are very talented
Thank you very much! Glad you liked it :-)
So incredible, it’s immersive and detailed perfectly. Fantastic work🤘
Thank you so much!
The lighting and shadows are crazy good. Great 👍job
Masterpiece.
Thank you very much!
Your understanding of 3D space, proportion and perspective is very good!
Thank you very much :-)
Just amazing. So glad I found your channel
Thank you. I am glad you did as well :-)
I love this so much! I'm setting this as my wallpaper
Thank you. You find a better quality one here www.artstation.com/artwork/GXg1Za
@@nikolailockertsen thanks ^^
Nikolai Lockertsen Me too :D this wallpaper is the best inspiration to draw :)
I just love the details on the sigNs
Too many moments where I forget to breath looking at this happen. Always mindblowing and the knowledge shared is bonkers.
I’m no artist myself (barely can draw anything) yet I have bought many of the Gumroad videos…. amazing tips and tricks but the best above all, the process from beginning to end. The very first part skipped here (the setup of the perspective vanishing points inside procreate and using it afterwards) is a must watch. Granted that it’s just a tool, it can only be pushed so hard because of how good this Nikolai person is.
Wow, maybe my favorite comment ever :-) Thank you!
I got here so early that the video is still only in 360p! :) I’ll check back in an hour to watch it in full. You really are my favourite artist!!
Cheers James :-) that means alot!
What an incredible talent
Very nice! Thanks for the tutorial, very informative!
Eden Newman cheers :-)
Digital art itself is a 'new' genre of 'art' no matter what the content, whether attempting to replicate old masters or 'abstract' I love it.
Thank you :-)
Thank you for making these videos i would really love to be able to paint like you some day
Thank you :-) All you need is enough practice.
Damn you have amazing skills.
Beautiful Artwork !
Love it when I see you videos finally arrive lol amazing
Cheers :-)
Nikolai Lockertsen not a problem Nikolai, have a fabulous day
I can’t get over how talented you are man. Very inspiring.
Thank you very much. Talent takes you part of the way, but there is also 30.000 hours of work done ;-) A more talendet person would probably be much better than me at this point :-)
@@nikolailockertsen That’s dedication. I’ve done concept work for film, storyboards and stuff but you’re work is on another level completely. Thanks for the reply! Keep inspiring us all with you’re exceptional work!
@@redbaron8130 Thank you. I wish you a cool and creative 2022 :-)
Love your work!
Thank you very much :-)
Very nice work ,,, the details are great ,,, Congratulations
Just curious how long actual time did this take you. I absolutely love it and love your work.
Gerry Robins Thank you! This one was fairly long. 20-25 hours :-)
@@nikolailockertsen wow. Patience is truly a virtue when drawing. Amazing work
Masterful🙌🏽
I love this,very,very,very cool🤩
Thank you very much :-)
Whoa! I've been watching so many Procreate videos. How did I miss this one?! SUBSCRIBED!
It is definitely the best procreate drawing i've ever seen. You're totally one of the greatest artist, so keep doing that you do and posting it on youtube. Cheers from Moscow
love it!
That is just so cool :0
Amazing!!! 😍
This is beautiful. Also, thanks for keeping music out of it. It's much less distracting.
Thanks for this, Niko
Kevin Max You are welcome!
Absolutely incredible work ! Would love to see some behind the scenes visuals as to how many layers you used in total. Still an artist has to keep some stuff secret lol
Thank you very much. I do think I maxed out on layers. With 6000 by 4500 pixels you get a layerlimit in Procrate. But I do merge stuff that does not overlap, and tidy as I go :-)
Fantastic.
stunning
animziggy Thank you :-)
Amazing art!
IamBarreira thank you :-)
I'm an experienced 3D model artist and I'm always drawn to the Asian aesthetics as well. There's just something magical about it.
The clutter master is back with a new awesome painting. Man - i love how you do clutter, when i try its all a huge mess. You should really do a clutter turtorial :)
Hehe, clutter is what we call ræl in Norwegian, right! Love ræl :-D I guess i it in all my tuts.
Nikolai Lockertsen it is, I got them on gumroad. :), but it’s more like. “Do random dots to make it look more organic”
Now a “filler” “crap” “dressing” “clutter” Specific tutorial, would be awesome. “The art of crap” ;)
(On a side note) man I love you ship silhouettes. Especially in the other Harbor one with the ghost.
Morten Stenberg Thank you Morten. That is a good idea. A crap tutorial :-D Are you Norwegian? If you are, hvorfor skrævler vi engelsk :-P
@@nikolailockertsen Danmark - men det ved jeg ikke, det er det nye sorte :P men prøv at se min Procreate profil "exkramental" på procreates side, alt hvad der er der inde har jeg lært fra dine Tutorials. så tak!.
Holy sh*t dude. Thats magic..
Thank you!
Cheers :-)
Freaking loved it
really nice video!! thank you
Annie Thank you very much :-)
Amazing work
Thank you :-)
Nice one
I like art as it's permissible and fun
This is so cool
Amazing work! I just recently got my apple pencil and i bought a good portion of your tutorials I've gotten a lot better with my forest thumbnails. Only issue i have is how would you design mountains or rock forms? From simple silhouettes to more detailed if theyre the main focus
Art By Infamous Thank you. Glad you got better from my tutorials. If I were to draw a mountain you see the silouette of I would start with that. Then ad details of structure/snow and so on after. But if you have a big mountain wall that takes up alot of the image and you just want to have a good structure, look at reference and try to simlify what the mountain-structure is. Reference is good in any case! Mountain and rock is very fickle and adwansed shapes, but just practice from reference many times and eventually you will decode it and be able to do it from imagination.
How would you go about adding detail i have an idea you use the Rull brush to do that Cuz it carries a lot of texture but im not too sure of how and where to put that structure/texture
im a new fan! ❤️
I really want to learn this kind of style
Amazing
Cheers!
amazing
good voice, good painting!!
Fantastic tutorial Nikko!!! I've purchased a couple of your tutorials and I'm trying to decide which one to purchase next. Do you have any recommendations on which one would provide the best tutorial on how to color something like this in Procreate?
Chris Farrell Thank you Chris. I would pick the one that has the colors you like the most :-) I dont really have one with spesific focus on colors in general.
WOW~ LIKE MAGIC~!
Ah-mazing!
The night view is wonderful
Wow!
amazing👍
THANK YOU
uf rly nice!
Cheers!
superb
Is there a perspective tool in procreate that allows you to draw such precise and accurate lines? Amazing
Wow. Very nice. How long did it take you to make that? Really amazing work.😁
Can you please show the brushes you use my paintings look so soulless and like watercolour... i am frustrated
Love your work! I dig these kinds of Asian urban environments too! Just wondering where do you usually find your references for this kinda stuff?
Thank you. I have spent years gathering images from internet. But also found some very good images at pintrest and so on. If you find one good image, there is a good chance you it will leed to more.
Thank you! Keep up the good work sir!
Wow just a amazing. That City is creating amazing mood. It's looking so cyberpunky yet girl is wearing typical clothes.
gol d Roger Thank you :-)
Amazing! Can you do a real-time speed tutorial on this?
You are just a professional
wow. just wow.
The most incredible thing I find about this drawing is...............the Chinese on those signs and boards are correct, almost authentic :D
I love you so much bro, I really do
Lovely painting! Do you make small thumbnails before you start on the "big final piece" or do you just draw as you go?
Palm Thank you. I start out fairly zoomed out. So the canvas is small on my screen at the beginning. Then zoom in as detail grow and brush-size gets smaller
Astonishing (as usual)! Nikolai is teaching you concept, structure, and technique. What he can’t teach you is how to make “art" instead of simply an illustration. What this master does comes from untold hours of observation, trial, and experience. Don’t be too discouraged if you can’t seem to ever approach what this guy does. A BIG factor in this is the tools the Universe gave him. Either you were born with them, or you weren’t. That’s what separates those who can make pretty pictures from those who make art. Keep trying though. This man is a serious inspiration.
Holy shit... Jag älskar det.
Det er kult at høra! :-)
멋지네요. 작가의 평소 관찰력이 참 뛰어나네요.
How was the glowing effects of the light bulbs made??
