Photoshop Concept Art Tutorial *For Beginners* : Sketching & Simple Value – 2 – Jet

Filed in Random 25 comments







*www.elliostration.com * elliostration.blogspot.com Check out my other Photoshop Vids * * * This is a general sketching technique – this is the way many people work when creating anything artistic, not just in Photoshop. / / / / / / / / / Begin by taking a small, hard – edged brush and roughly sketching out your idea, instead of filling in shapes with a larger brush, make a loose blueprint of whatever you want to create. When your sketchmarks start to take shapes of their own, gradually kick up your brush size to fill in lines that should be thicker to indicate a better sense of depth; a default dissolving PS brush is used to put slight underlying dabs of shadow and value * you can make selections of what you’d like to fill and then hit shift + F5 to quickly fill in your desired shape, but for training purposes I kept most hotkey actions out of this one. Apply simple shadow and some thin highlights once you have a fair amount of value built up. / / / / / / / / / 1 small hard-edged ball brush was used and 1 PS dissolving brush was used * mostly to fill in larger shapes of value to help blending. Software used: Adobe ™ Photoshop CS3 / / / / Capture Software: Snapz Pro™ (Downloadable Demo) / / / / Blog: www.elliostration.blogspot.com / / / / Website: www.elliostration.com * Special thanks to the good guys at Ambrosia for downloading a sweet trial version!

    Hello. I’m starting a project on my channel, and I need some artists with free time to assist me in this effort. If you could stop by my channel when you get a chance, I’d really appreciate it. Thanks!

  • scrubbler23

    great tips!

  • kacktustoo

    it’s on “right click” for brushes, u can just scroll down for different brushes, set it to the pen rather than the tablet it’s much easier (you know the little button on it’s side), soz if i’m no help (:

  • Mitraeltheprophet

    well i know how to configure my tablet i just don’t know where in photoshop is the brushes window hotkey configuration… I tried the hotkey editor on the edit tab and can’t find where is the hotkey for that specific window… Although i somehow made it spawn in right click and now i’m trying to fix that cause i wanted the original function of the right click…

  • kacktustoo

    if you have a wacom tablet you should be able to set certain functions to your tablet through through the “properties” program, that you get with the software you install from the disks provided, there should be a folder in programs list like wacom or pen tablet, it’ll be in there, then you can set say: right click to you pen which will bring up the brush option in photoshop etc

  • Mitraeltheprophet

    I’ve been wandering for weeks now on how to configure my tablet’s buttons to do certain things on photoshop.. can you plz tell me where can i do that?

  • tHaH4x0r

    really god vid rated 5* really helpt me!

  • Talmore

    I like to use three layers:
    highlights
    midtones
    shadows
    Its all in how your brain likes to arrange things

  • kzundiverus

    Your biggest priority should be making detailed sketches in a short amount of time. Once you have that down (highly doubt it) – then you are on your way to becomming a concept artist.

  • Hwaigon

    dont understand bro how can you have all those shapes and segments forms of the jet in your head. it just sucks when I want to do something like this. I could improve though, but I really dont understand how can someone do this in cs2 or what else program.
