Can't get this to load, but I'll keep trying from over here in China. Just dying to know one thing.. and I've been asking this of all the great digital painters on this site... Do you use a Cintiq?

Es ist spannend zu beobachten wie du dein Wissen über Perspektive und Tiefenwirkung (dieses architektonische) bei Figuren anwendest.
Es schüchtert nicht ein sondern ermutigt mich meinen eigenen Kritzeleien ein bisschen mehr Tiefe zu verleihen.

Very handy indepth tutorial. I like how you talk about your process of what you are thinking about too, I think very similar when I'm painting/drawing and agree with all your points. Studies make a huge difference and are the only real way to learn how to draw from memory properly and just drawing in general. I'm guessing you must do a hell of alot of studies though looking at your apintings, very impressive and your certainly seem to know what you're doing. If you have a minute though would be nice if you could give me a few comments on a couple of my pieces. First this [link] sketch I just started, its still quite messy but theres something I can't put my finger on that just isnt right, I'm sure theres quite a few things wrong but I think theres a couple of key things that could be easily fixed by somone like yourself pointing them out. Also if you have the time could you look at these paintings and tell me what areas of painting you think I should focus on the most. [link] [link] second one is a bit messed up though, lot of work needed on tha tone I think

Great tutorial and really helpful! I get stuck on the painting part though... how did you learn to blend the colors so well and add texture?

Ich wäre ja mal dafür, dass du das auf deutsch übersetzst! XD
Überall findet man sowas nur auf englisch... Muss ich wirklich so gut englisch können, um malen zu lernen?
Das Tut ist sicher gut... aber zu kompliziert für mich, durch die Sprache^^

Hi Hannes!
Uah normalerweise les ich solche tutorials echt gerne, aber probiers dann meistens nicht aus, es sei denn es macht sinn für mich persönlich ode rklingt interessant und ich denk dass mir das irgendwie was bringt. Deine Technik ist aber soooooooooo extrem anders (zumindest im bezug auf die art und weise, wie ich nromalerweise arbeite), dass sich das heute mal bei der Arbeit angeboten hat und ich beschlossen hab das mal auszuprobieren und (glaub ich....gott ich kanns noch nicht mal beurteilen
Bei mir wars so, dass es echt n krampf war, die einzelnen Layer so zu bearbeiten, dasses wirklich konsistent ist, eben ein problem, das errst auftritt wenn man wirklich erst einen bereich einfärbt, dann den anderen anklickt, um den seperat einzufärben usw usw. ich hatte da schnell das problem, dass ich auch durch die extrem harten edges viele viele einzelnd fast voneinander isolierte bereiche hatte, eben die einzelnen layer, die alle absolut für sich standen und nicht wirklich ein einheitliches bild ergaben, obwohls ja grad mal die block in phase ist. Verstehste was ich meine? Kennst du/kanntest du das problem auch? Bei dem Bild zu der phase in deinem tutorial hab ich nicht so extrem den eindruck, wies bei mir heute war.
Wie seperierst du die einzelnen layer, wenn du das so machst? Gehste wirklich nach einzelnen objekten (in dem bild z.b. corsage, gürtel, stiefel, eben alles einzeln oder gehste mehr nach "priorität" im Bild selber, also praktisch körper isngesamt, vorderer flügel, hinterer flügel usw)? Find das echt super interessant, vor allem weil ich so krass versagt hab heute dabei und bei dir klappts so gut, da musste ich mal nachhaken

Heya! Das witzige daran ist dass ich über Studien dazu gekommen bin das so zu machen, einfach weil du nach ner Weile keinen Bock mehr hast die Kanten zum zehnten Mal zu reparieren, und weil verschiedene Dinge einfach... auch räumlich getrennt sind, also warum nicht auch auf Ebenen auseinanderhalten! o_ov Die Schwierigkeit dabei ist halt das Gesamtbild nicht aus den Augen zu verlieren, aber da ich früher immer alles auf einer Ebene gemacht hab komm ich damit eigentlich klar, ich versuch halt in beiden Modi gleichzeitig zu denken. @Prioritäten, die Haupteigenschaft da ist Überlappung, weil da die Probleme mit den Kanten entstehen.
Naja, insgesamt denk ich dass das hier eher so ne Phase ist durch die ich grad gehe, steh halt momentan irgendwie auf diesen sauberen Look, aber in den letzten Tagen hab ich schon wieder versucht malerischer zu werden also denk ich dass sich das dann irgendwo in der Mitte einpendelt. Hauptsache im Kopf sind die Sachen sortiert!
@Einfärben, ich nehm manchmal dann auch ne einzelne Ebene und benutz die geblockten Parts nur für Selektionen, ist auch praktisch wenn man dann Sachen am ganzen Bild ändern will.

ah cool, danke für die Antwort. hab mir gestern noch, bevor ich mich dann in den Schlaf geweint hab den Kopf kaputtgedacht darüber

Ein Tipp, um zu harte Kanten zu vermeiden (auch wenn es rigentlich eine Sau-Arbeit ist): Die einzelnen Farbblücke zuerst grob einblocken (mit dem Lasso-Tool oder per Hand mit einem sehr großen Pinsel) und dann alles überstehende per Hand mit dem Radiergummi wegnehmen. Dadurch bekommt man beliebig harte oder weiche Kanten, je nach Bedarf.
Man könnte auch über eine Maske gehen und da per Hand & Pinselspitzen die Kanten definieren.

Love it when an artist includes what they were THINKING while creating an image. Very thorough and interesting walk-thru here.... dig it

Holy shit a mere human being like me is allowed to see such a gloriouslicious thing as this?!?OTL you keep sharing awesome stuff all the time,my eyeballs can't take anymore pressure against this screen of mine....actually FUCK IT! BRING IT ON IMMA SQUASH THEM TO SMITHEREENS! no really man, it's really great that you do this and it's truly appreciated so thanks a bunch. I'm currently in a kind of bad phase for drawing, and on top of that I feel so crushed by looking at you all greater artists' works cos it reminds me of how much I suck and how much left there is to learn, but I know that when I get out of this slump it's gonna be the main fuel for hard work and motivation, along with the thought of the enormous amount of fun&possibilities of actually being able to make something that looks decent in the future when I achieve this kind of powerlevel. I'm slowly abandoning my manga&anime influenced things since I feel sick when I draw it, and it just feels like it (me ignorantly choosing it of course) has wasted a lot of my time and held me back for too long
In any case, thanks again, you and janaschi are one of my bigger inspirations out there. keep up the good work dude!

Dood what are you talking about, I think your stuff is lovely! Don't completely abandon the manga inspired things, I adore the looseness and emotion in your work, try to keep that while you're adding what you will! It's gonna be a bit of a juggle but the result will be AWESOME O_O And thanks for the nice words!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Oh, I wasn't thinking of completely abandoning it, just putting it on the side until I've mastered other more important things.
but what the hell man you watched me?!??did not see that one coming, I'm so fucking embarrassed and confused!
gah.. thank you, and for the encouragement too OTL I will continue the art journey of improvement. well I have to, since it's what I want to work with after all, together with ~ZZGRST . he's working hard too, and I hope we can make fun and amazing collabs like you and Jana in the future! but meanwhile you go and keep being the awesome jawbreaker beast that you are (TAT)b

Holy fuck, that guy rules too! 1000 poses a day, I did that too for a while : D Blows your brains out. Yeah anyways man I was serious, I kinda envy all of you people for who drawing seems so fun and all that, I always kinda forced myself (had to in order to avoid becoming an office drone) and I've only recently started actually enjoying doing it. Also YES DO COLLABS EVERYONE O____O Anywayyyyyyyyyyyys keep it up you guys and I will also try to sleep less than 16 hours a day yesssssss \O_O/
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Well there will be a lot of forcing ahead of us too now, but thats one of the things right? to challenge and push yourself to the limits and beyond in order to become awesome (otherwise we might end up as burger-flippers lol)
in any case, thanks again Algen. it's good to hear you're having fun

I can relate to seeing how good I'm NOT when I look at great artists like Johannes. But you're better than you give yourself credit for. After reading your comment, I went to your gallery expecting to see average or slightly below, but I've gotta say I think you show a ton of potential. You're better than the average cat already, but you could be as good as Johannes or Jana or anyone else if you just keep on keepin on. I do agree with your idea of expanding beyond just anime and manga styles, though. I'm not a fan of either style, really, but you do them well. It's just a matter of not falling into a habit that you never get out of. But I'm sure you know about expanding horizons and challenging yourself and blah blah and all that jazz, so I won't preach. I'll just say that I hope you stick with it

Yeah, the most important (and hardest) thing here is to keep going and not stop or hide in a comfort zone.
thanks for your words and your encouragement man, and also for stopping by my gallery, surprisingly I feel a little better... maybe I've just been away too long from people lately!

Tolles Tutorial und wunderschönes Bild, ganz abgesehen von der Aussage.
Sag mal... in welcher Auflösung malst du so ein Bild und wieviel dpi?

Thank you for taking the time to make this and share with us. It seems like the best, most technically skilled artists are also the most willing to help their fellows. Somehow, I don't think that's a coincidence! I feel there is something in that mindset of someone who is hungry for knowledge that makes them generous with the knowledge that they do have. Sorry to ramble! Beautiful work, as always!

damnnn , this is definately one of the better tutorials i've read - so informative and in depth, you actually explain *why* you do things, not just how, so we can apply it to more than just a copy of the tutorial picture. i loved all the insights on colour theory and composition, a lot of it i didn't know at all/hadn't occured to me before.
thank you so much for this!!

fett!
mir haben besonders deine ausführungen zum farbgebrauch und seiner wirkung sehr gefallen, die waren besonders hilfreich.
wirklich schön einmal zu sehen, wie jemand wie du sein bild plant und ausarbeitet.
danke dass du dir die mühe gemacht hast!

Great tutorial and the final image came out awesome, honestly i still feel the BG is a little empty, but otherwise great stuff, your work is truly inspirational. I definitely have to do more studies for painting / lighting / textures and values and all that technical stuff.
Keep up the awesomeness

As awesome is this is. I feel like asking for a video/stream for your next tutorial or something cause that would probably be the ultimate amazing thing you could possible do. :>

Amazing... I thought you used some manipulated photos with the feathers! Your detail level is completely stunning.
Right to faves -the walkthrough and the finished picture

Nice tutorial! very technical and quite advanced stuff, I understood most of the stuff as I am practicing them but it was sure advanced and thats what I like about you, is your honesty and no bullshlt policy that you present with your art, what you see is what you get I always say.
Thanks for sharing I learned a few things for sure...

WOuld'a been SO kewl if you put an extra step from the lines to colour, its just so much of a jump, and where alot of questions lie is in how to go about painting the colour xD But that step is missed
But freaking epic job though i gotta admit, itll help alot of people!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Ah, sorry about that, but it IS just one step : D That's why I tried to put down my thoughts. That stage is really "think of palette, put in basic color"
