- During this live workshop, I'll be sharing a powerful and versatile workflow used by pro concept artists to unblock and let the creativity flow with speed and efficiency. This technique can be used for anything, from characters and creatures to environments and vehicles - all explored and understood through the use of shapes.
Concept art is all about getting ideas from your brain to the screen and this is one of the best ways to unblock and let the cool stuff flow. Come hang out with me while I demo this technique and we'll have live Q&A throughout the stream.

i fear not the devil, but the man who uses photoshop light mode
Good policy to live by :)
Hold up let me tempt you
I didn’t even know photoshop had a light mode anymore
You're literally my favourite concept artist ever, i really try getting close to the way you render stuff and still trying. You're an inspiration. Thankyou soo much for all the videos you make 🙏🙏❤️
Oh wow, thanks. That's super nice to hear. I wish you the best with your artwork :)
Thank you!!!!! Your channel is so incredibly valuable please never stop sharing your knowledge! :)
Thanks! I'm so glad this is helpful
The process seems so simple and yields such great results, I realized I had seen a video of yours before with the dragon, but now I've made sure to sub and will check out more! This was super helpful and I can't wait to try this out.
Awesome! I'm so glad this was useful for you. I use it in my work almost daily - it really is a game changer
The livestream was awesome! I missed a bit of the end, bc I watched it on the train and had lost connection, but thank you for doing this!❤ Will definitely rewatch it now in case I missed more! 😅
Have a great one!
Glad you enjoyed it!
I only recently found your channel and this video was invaluable, I learned so much from this one video about how to treat concept and shape design. Thank you.
Glad it was helpful!
That was an AMAZING demo Hardy. Thankyou so much and a HUGE discount. Just copped the Cyberpunk kit for this weekends homework.
Oh cool - that's a fun project. I hope you like the results that you get.
this was awesome thanks for the lesson i will try this out when i get home from work
Enjoy! This technique has me hooked :)
Very cool! Thank)
Thank you! Cheers!
Invaluable, thanks!
Awesome - glad this was helpful!
I appreciate the livestream due to work I’ve been busy a lot so it can be draining to come back home and try, I start with a simple shape like a circle or box then I work round it,
Glad this was helpful!
Thank you so much for this video. Hardy does a good job showing what he's talking about. Loved the comparison of the human and the ship, still being the same ideas. Anyway - this was exactly what I needed today, trying to figure out how to do sillhouettes for more "realistic" characters, rather than over the top animated ones. :)
That is awesome - I'm so glad this showed up right when you were looking for it. Thanks.
Very cool insight thank you
Glad you enjoyed it!
Super insightful and inspiring! Is there still a way to grab that shape brush now that the discord link you’ve shared has expired?
Glad you enjoyed it. Sure - this link should be active but let me know if you have any issues. Have fun with the brushes :) discord.gg/mH35E3fYJt
thank you~!1!
My pleasure. I'm glad this was helpful
Really insightful video. I had wondered how artists create such interesting shapes and designs. Now I have a whole set of design ideas to learn, like contrast and big medium small. Is there any resources you would recommend for design theory concepts? (Especially regarding shapes and shape arrangements)
That's awesome, thanks! I actually teach a mentorship program called Concept Art Academy and the first 6 weeks heavily based on those shape theories. I think they are the foundation for all successful design (and something I was totally missing for much of my art journey). Check it out here and let me know if you have any questions www.digitalpaintingstudio.com/academy
Just subscribed based on this video.
Awesome! Welcome :)
I love your work and how the brush make it works as well, is it free to download or use? I would love to try it. Thanks!
Thanks! Yes, the brush is definitely free. Just join the DPS discord server discord.gg/cpmqm5Gn and the brush is posted in the announcements channel
@@fowlerillus thank you 🥰
Hi Hardy, great video! Are you going to cover translating the ship silhouette to a 3 dimensional design in a future video? Thank you for the demo 👍
Thanks! I'm glad that you liked it. I don't have any plans for that but it would be a cool idea. Thanks for the suggestion!
Great Video! I've subscribed to one of your courses on Udemy. Is it possible to get the shape brush you used?
Hi John, I posted that to the announcements channel on the DPS discord server. It's free to join if you want to grab that. discord.gg/yWkXDBHJ
@@fowlerillus Thanks! What a great resource!
"moth or firefly vibe"
Me: LE MUSTACHÉ
Haha. Oui oui :)
06:00 Space ship??
What kind of ship: generally what defines its look?
8:58 looks like a headless bird or menace, but without any details that I stubbornly want to protect.
17:02 our imagination treaure chest opens and multiple streams subconsciously guide our movement.
Same big picture swoop from gen for overall landscape, background, coloring, lighting, body form then working towards more detail. On my way towards more and more detail, I have to remind myself: which details interfere with who my character or concept is.
Great perspectives here. I totally agree on those form/function points.
sorry can i ask you do you think that the size (17 inch) for screen display tablet is prohibitive for a professional concept artist?
(I intend to give it as a gift to a friend who is a professional) the product we are referring to is the wacom cintiq pro 17
I haven't used that specific product but from what I understand it is quite top of the line and Wacom is a fantastic brand. I think that would be an excellent setup for your artist friend and a truly amazing gift so I say go for it!
so this brush.. how come this brush only paints with on the left side and not the whole brush, is there a setting in photoshop that does this?
Hmm - that's weird. I'm sure it's a setting issue, but I'm not sure which one could cause the issue you're describing. I have pressure sensitivity set to the brush size jitter, so that would be a good place to start.
@@fowlerillus sorry should have described thay better. Firstly I am a Noobish in photoshop and mostly do photomanips but I am trying my hands at sketching.
Right, so the question I had really was, that I can see you are using a rectangle brush of sorts. And when you apply a stroke the whole rectangle doesn't apply buy only a portion of it (I believe it would be the left)
Is that because of the Jitter settings? Or another brush setting?
This is how Gareth Edwards designed the creatures from Monsters.
I just looked his stuff up - so awesome. Yes, it definitely looks like the same process. His shapes are so alive and full of energy. Thanks for the recommendation.
@@fowlerillus the movie's great too.
Can anyone teach me how to rotate the brush angle like that?
Sure! I think you're referring to the brush tip shape angle to give the brush that slight slant (if I'm making a wrong assumption there, please let me know!) - to do that, hit F5 to bring up your brush editor. At the top of the little editor menu you will see Brush Tip Shape. Select that and you will see this diagram of a circle with two white dots and an arrow. That is the modifier that you need to adjust. You can flatten the brush by bringing the circles closer together or you can change the angle by grabbing that arrow and rotating. I hope that helps!
@@fowlerillus Yes, at first I thought you were changing the brush angle using some kind of hotkey. Then I realized that you just changing between brushes in this video. BTW, your video is so good. Thanks for sharing your process, I've quite learned a good deal from this.
I'm so glad you liked it. Thanks!@@sketsakafit3733
I’m character design is form over function more important?…
Good question - I think both are important and have to be considered but I usually try to get form solved first - just pure "are these shapes cool" as my first priority. Then I start working out function things like - where are the ship's engines and cockpit or where are the robot's joints etc.
10:25 this actually looks like a puppy 😂
OMG it does! These symmetry tool designs can end up being Rorschach tests :)
can somebody send me this shape brush ? please
Hey! They are available for free in our discord community under the Freebies channel. You can join here discord.gg/mH35E3fYJt
He's defiantly not an organic charicter environment artist lol. We think very difrent and it's interesting to see.
Like making the pose is important to me making sure ur moves with the line work and has exspreshion and mood. 😂
I feel like he's very much a hard serfice logical person.
Always cool to hear different perspectives :) I won't argue with any of your points except that I am logical :)
Guys who like mondays leave me brokem
I need to rewatch this - do I mention loving Mondays? I agree, that would make me sound like a psycho 😄
the people interviewing him are so annoying lol
Haha, I don't remember but I'll have to watch again.
can i get the discord link?
You got it discord.gg/VzfaE5FR
