I've been an illustrator for almost two decades and of all the courses I have watched yours are always some of the most exemplary I have seen. I think my favorites are your environment and architecture courses. Have you considered doing an advanced tutorial where you mash the lessons of the two together? I bet it would be amazing!
Thanks Danny! I hadn't considered that but I suppose a lot of the same principles apply to both disciplines so that could work very well. Thanks for the suggestion and I'm so glad that my courses have been helpful.
@@fowlerillus You do a great job presenting things for the audience, taking both new and seasoned artists into account. For example, explaining the process of painting with custom shapes could get repetitive, but you like to sprinkle in enthusiasm or little technical tips. A situation I remember was from your Cyberpunk City demo. You were talking about how the color was feeling a bit monochromatic. So you chose to pull at the cool shadows whilst amping up the warmth of orange highlights. It may seem subtle, but these little details make your lectures akin to paintings themselves. But I digress. Your process is fun and educational to watch. Really hope to see more of your painting processes! :)
Hardy's courses are really fantastic, I loved each one. Hardy's method of teaching is first class. Not only is he comprehensive, but he goes in to detail with each demonstration.He also dose mini tutorials, that teaches you the foundations of each subject before your moving on to more complex concepts. Without a doubt his course are worth every penny. I cannot recommend these enough.
I’ll definitely definitely check your website and enroll in your courses We should stand and do a minute of applause for this amazing detailed tutorial
You really are a good teacher. This tutorial is just perfect, up to the details and nicely done. I really hope you post more tutorials on youtube. They are very helpful.
So glad I found your channel, most informative and comprehensive video I've seen on digital painting from start to finish. Thank you so much for making this!
Hey Hardy, I love your work. Your one of my favorite creature/character concept artists. I'd like to show some of my art once I get them finished. I'm gonna check out your website too :)
hardy fowler i love the way you make art fun... i enroll on your course about photoshop and art fondamental on udemy... you're by far a master at explaining in a fun way art....
I love it! Can't wait to start one of your courses. I do wonder if you got some quick tips for us when it comes to anatomy and lightning. Thanks for this great tutorial video!
Thank you so much Hardy! This has helped me a lot. Found this digging through Character Design tutorials. Now that I discovered your website today I have enrolled in a few courses to really get me going. Although I am curious as to how to create that splash background? Thanks in advance and hope to see new content soon :) Take care
For this one it is a chalk brush that came standard with Photoshop. It had a 3% angle jitter on it and pen pressure set to brush size jitter. I hope that helps!
This really need A LOT more views, and also I think you have to keep adding videos so more people will notice.. doesn't have to be "tutorial" like this (because then people will not buy your courses), just time-lapses would already attract people,, and don't forget to mention your site in those videos. Cheers!
Thanks Sena! Kind of testing the waters with this one. I'm hoping to create lots more videos in the future and I'm going to try and keep them very quick and breezy but still helpful and informative. I appreciate the advice!
Actually that is definitely something that I have been doing in recent years (this video is a few years old now). I love working directly with shapes wherever possible
Hello, this is amazing thanks so much for your help. Before you began sketching did you draw some thumbnails or sketch traditionally on paper to brainstorm this pose or is coming up with these ideas on the spot just something that comes with experience!
Hi, i have a problem with value / skin tones parts, how do i achieve my brush to do the same thing as you do in the video? Mine is like overlaping, and i can't create a proper transition between values simply because it's becoming chaotic with each stroke.. I suppose it's something in the brush settings, but can't find it anywhere
I know what you mean. All of that overlapping transparency can get really noisy. My suggestion would be to lower your flow and opacity and build up tone more slowly. Lots of taps of the stylus. When it is many low opacity brush strokes overlapping, the overlap noise is not nearly as noticeable and the overall effect is a smoother tonal quality (but not so smooth that it becomes uninteresting). I would tinker with those settings until you find a tone quality that feels right.
The important part is to create a new layer and put it UNDER the value layer. That under layer is where I paint the reds (more in certain areas than others to give the skin tone modulation). It doesn't cover the values but just gives a bit of red underneath.
I just started with digital art and I'm struggling a lot coloring and using the smudge tool. I think it's looking cool but when I turn off the line art it all just looks like a blurry mess :c
I definitely get that. Line art does a great job of holding the forms and keeping everything coherent and it takes a lot of confidence in your value rendering to let the lines go. Good luck and reach out on DPS if I can help
Quick and confident brush strokes will really improve your ink work, if you take more time to draw a line it will come out all wiggly, hope this helps you a bit!
Dude .. this is the single best character painting tutorial I have ever watched .. i learned so much .. thank you

You should do more youtubing... this tutorial is a gem.
Awesome! Very helpful!
Glad it was helpful!
Can anyone tell me what brush he's using when it comes to the values and skin tones ?
For this one it is a chalk brush that came standard with Photoshop. It had a 3% angle jitter on it and pen pressure set to brush size jitter. I hope that helps!
This was incredibly helpful, thank you :)

Great tips! Cheers mate.
No problem 👍
Best video process
Great tutorial, i'm more inclined to doing shapes first and then draw over. Do you present characters as line drawings first always?
Actually that is definitely something that I have been doing in recent years (this video is a few years old now). I love working directly with shapes wherever possible
this is wicked i was follwing drawing n made massive improvement thank u. :)
Hello, this is amazing thanks so much for your help. Before you began sketching did you draw some thumbnails or sketch traditionally on paper to brainstorm this pose or is coming up with these ideas on the spot just something that comes with experience!
how to do that grey gradient background silhouette?
Good stuff 👊🏾
Thanks!
Seriously amazing.
AMAZING
I wish i could be this good one day
What kind of brush you use for values?
Awesome video.
The layer where he starts to paint the red in is a normal layer above the linework selection?
Yes, that's exactly right
Hi, i have a problem with value / skin tones parts, how do i achieve my brush to do the same thing as you do in the video? Mine is like overlaping, and i can't create a proper transition between values simply because it's becoming chaotic with each stroke..

19:00 how you painted the red ??

very inspiring!
how do you get such a steady smooth ink layer? mine always look terrible :(
Quick and confident brush strokes will really improve your ink work, if you take more time to draw a line it will come out all wiggly, hope this helps you a bit!
画的真好,非常实用!
谢谢!
