Hey Brady! I'm a junior film poster designer and wanted to thank you so much for everything you're offering us! I've been using your textures, brushes and actions in many projects now and I'm so grateful :)
That's really nice to hear, thanks Alexis!
yeah me too
How did you get this job? This is something I’ve wanted to peruse as a career and wondered if you had any tips?
@@Moneychestwowow I'm a freelance designer and I started by making fan-made posters on my own until some distributors luckily noticed my work and commissioned a few projects. I'm not full-time designing posters, but it's what I'm trying to do (hence the "junior"). My tips would be to 1. Practice, 2. Make things you actually enjoy. You're really into that niche movie that no one around you seems to have seen? It's fine! It shows your tastes and might interest people with the same taste as yours
@@AlexisVeille Thanks so much for the quick reply and tips! How did your work get noticed and was it a one off project or was it someone stumbling on your portfolio? Also how did you start growing a consumer base freelancing, are you seeing more new customers or multiple people coming back to you? Also did you have any “formal” design training like a 4 year degree or is all your stuff taught?
i recognise Texture labs as REALLY giving power to smaller creators by offering ULTRAPOWERFUL tools and textures to so many people, without veils of corporate IP and data hoarding. i am SO GRATEFUL for the services offered here. absolutely changing my own personal exploration of photoshop and digital arts
Everytime I think there's not much left to learn in Photoshop, you push the boundary. Always a pleasure, Brady.
I couldn't have thought of using a smudge brush like that in a million years. Thanks for the video!
You are the best mentor I've ever had. Thanks for doing this man!
Hey Brady! I'm a designer and visual artist, and have been using Photoshop for over 5 years now. You've been a huge part of my photoshop journey. Every time you upload a video, I eagerly open it to learn something new, and I've never been disappointed with it. Just wanted to thank you for everything you've been doing for the community! 💫
Always a happy day when another Texture Lab video is posted!
I really love what you've shown today, it kind of reminds us that, at times, we need to take some time on a project and create ourselves versus letting the machine do it all.
your videos never cease to blow me away with how simple some of the concepts can be, but how amazing the results are.
The way you applied the technique to the compositions looked awesome! Thanks for sharing this method, I’ll be sure to try it out when I get the chance.
Looks like an absolute game changer, love this effect so much, keep them coming Brady amazing work as always.
Every single video on this channel shows your Photoshop genius! No other channel even comes close!
One of the best channels on youtube.
Bestest tips, taught in the most enjoyable way... texturelabs is my first option when I'm looking for great textures... Brady, thank you so much for everything you are doing!!!
MAGNIFICENT illustrative technique! Texturelabs never disappoints.
Thanks, Brady. This is super useful as always. Killing it.
No bullshit, out of all the tutorials I’ve watched over the years, your channel has been my favourite source of them all to learn new techniques. I’m much grateful for the work you’ve done
Seriously I have never seen this man make something not iundusty-level project, every single video is a work of art they all look like they're out of a movie man please dont stop you are no doubt the best designer ut there!
Excellent tips as always, and you have a way of presenting that is just perfect...not too fast, not too slow. Thanks for making these, you've taught me a lot!
I can already see so many possibilities for this. Great video!
Always opening my mind to new possibilities. Thank you Brady!
Just one word: FUNTASTIC!
Tried it immediately on a 3D Portrait and got a painting within minutes. Thanks a lot!!!!
Great tutorial! Coming back to this for sure
Just simply great!
An amazing tutorial just when I needed it most!
I just dropped my jaw. Who in the world had a minute to think how to hack the smudge tool? Now you now who. Thank you mate.
Brady's always the best!
Love the texture you got on the phone cord!
WOW! It's simple and very effective. Loved it! 👏👏👏
Definitely going to to be using this for future work! You're a legend Brady.
this is a GAME CHANGER , simple yet the outcome is magnificent
Great tutorial. Gonna go try this.
The genuine excitement I get when a new video drops is hard to explain. It's a pleasant "Oh boy, I'm going to learn so much today!"
Combined with "Holy $#!+ How is this even possible?! This wizardry is absolutely unbelievable! What a legend! I'm going to make so much stuff!"😂🙌
Always a good time when Brady uploads. Okay, time to watch the video now.
So simple yet so impressive
BRAVO such amazing content! I subscribed immediately!
I love you Brady, thank you for another amazing tutorial
you´re the best teacher ever
So rad. I really miss making things and these videos make me want to get going again
you are a blessing! thank you for the valuable tips and ideas!!
this is insane, since last Thursday, I have been trying to get this effect on some digital paintings I have been working on. I wanted them to look a bit more "painterly" and less smooth if that makes sense, I have spent close to 16 hours over the weekend playing around and got some great results using different brushes and effects, however watching this video makes me wanna cry...lols because this just seems like the straight forward way of doing it. Thanks so much! I love you and hate you....lols
Thank you for gifted so nice&cool brush!
thank you for the brush n tut
That Is soo Cool! Love It.
your channel is excellent! thank you!!!!!
Best content. ever. Always. Thanks a lot !!
Omg this is insane sir.... You got a new subscriber from India🇮🇳
THANK YOU SO MUCH AGAIN AND AGAIN!!!!!
yo this is soo coool! love it
Already hooked on TextureLabs' earlier tutorial using the Art History brush for painting. And now just one tool for illustrating?! Straightforward, useful, fun, and it reminds me to experiment with tools. Polished off my test run with texture #304 from your website, giving it an even more authentic finish! Many thanks for all you do. :O)
Awesome, ya I found you can get some killer treatments using a combo of Smudge + Art History!
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 always amazing. Thanks.
That is really cool! Thank you!
Hi Brady, another nice and useful tutorial! I had actually come across this technique quite some time ago, but meanwhile had almost forgotten about it, so this has been a welcome reminder! I've always felt that due to the manual process involved it tends turn out a bit more convincing than ”automatic” procedures with a similar aim that are using Photoshop actions. And you finally sort of mention it towards the end but I, too, think this technique (as it emulates natural media) goes very well with some paper or canvas textures that additionally stress the “analog-ness“ of the the whole thing (besides the brush marks).
amazing tricks, thanks
i've been trying to learn this look forever!
This is super useful as always .... Thx a lot for your Amazing content
Brady you are one of my favourite human beings ever!
Great. I also use this technique and it helps me a lot.
Really looking forward to testing this out on some horror movie poster compositions I never finished a while back to breathe new life into them. Great stuff as always Brady!
Brady I pray for you and love you sir, great teaching!
Thank you very much!
thanks for the video really cool to see more ways to use the tools
Nice to see you again
That movie poster is amazing 😍😍 Great work again
This is amazing I can use this for my retro movie poster design. Am lucky to see this
REally cool!
You are the best! 👌
Great asset the Smudge Tool, amazing lesson as usually coming from you Brady! 3DTotal Team mentioned as well in their books about the power of the Smudge Tool but many times I forgot about using it. So today you gave me a welcome refresh. Thank you so much! ❤
When I saw the print I thought it would be a tutorial on Art History Brush! - Thanks for sharing! 👏👏👏
Thanks you’re amazing ❤
Love your videos
every single video in this channel is a pro masterclass course. i'm so grateful to have access to internet and subscribe to this channel, you are making people's live changing cause your knowledge sharing. thank u so much sir!
SO talented! Thank you so much Brady!
I know it may not be suitable for your channel but I would love to know more about how you mask. Everytime I see your subjects on different backgrounds the hair etc looks amazing :)
Thank you Brad
thank you so much
Outstanding results, Brady! One great way to extend this technique is to start with Threshold to really simplify down to a minimalist portrait, then apply Smudge and create a brushed-ink effect.
very nice tutorial
Thanks for this tutorial, and the brush set! This is going to be great for lots of things, but especially smoothing out the hair props in 3D renders.
Hank you very much brady👌🙏from Tanzania 🇹🇿 following
Interesting. Thanks. I ventured into a similar territory some tears ago without realizing its potential, in how you used it here, when I was asked to restore someone's relative's old photograph that had creases and damage, missing parts. I employed partly minimal smudge tool techniques with tonal pointillist techniques to disguise the creases and fill in the missing parts. This is actually an inspiring video for me in terms of other work I have in mind.
😍🤩🥰 JUST LOVE YOUR VIDEOS!
Hi Brady! It's great that you tell about ways to incorporate digital illustration tools in your workflow! May I suggest that you check out some other tutorials from digital artist (concept art, illustration etc.), and find ways to mix your techniques with theirs. You're sharing some unique knowledge, and this one about smudge tool that I use a lot in paintings made me realize that there might be a lot of untapped potential in a crossover between your techniques and digital artists'.
thank you
Amaziing!
Smudge Tool works wonders. I make extensive use of this tool for many things, such as sharpening pixelated images or lines. One, use soft brush set to reduced opacity. Two, gently smooth out pixelated areas, making sure to keep as much detail as possible. Three, use sharpening tools to boost detail back up. Unsharp Mask (Filter > Sharpen > Unsharp Mask) and various sharpen/contrast boosting tools available in Camera RAW work great here. Can't express how many times the smudge/sharpen method has saved many otherwise terrible images from the scarp pile. Cheers!! :)
Oh man, you are awesome. What to say you are insane.
Super Cool
Thank you very very much...!!! lml
The most simple tool I NEVER use turns to be amazing useful. Jeeze!
thank you.
This is genius
you are the best
Beautifully presented, much thanks, where can I find that old folded movie poster texture overlay?
Cool.👍👍
I have been using the smudge tool for this for years, but never with a brush tip like this.. Which is pretty stupid, because to get a decent result like your, you have to do five times as much strokes. That is a great takeaway! It really is a wonderful tool. Also for blending elements in collages, manipulating masks, suggesting hair or grass. Great to have it in the spotlight!
Ive been using a very similar technique to add realistic texture to markings in fur in my digital paintings and it never occurred to me to use it to modify a photo!
Hey Brady, I'm trying out Affinity products for a bit so it'll be interesting to see how these tutorials translate to those programs. I've been a user of photoshop and a consumer of your tutorials for several years now so hopefully they translate decently well otherwise I'm going to be stuck in the adobe ecosystem 😅
Great tutorial, simple but effective! On the close up at 0:01, there's a texture that looks almost like a canvas or a print, how did you do that part?
Goddamnit Brady you absolute genius
Hey great videos! I was wonder if you can do or have videos already…where for example say I wanted to edit a band name but change the letters to look like same font ? Idk if that makes sense
For those who don't illustrate this, it's interesting and pretty cool, for those who already illustrate this, it's an addition to digital.
Yeah, I'm a digital illustrator, 100% agreed.
