Sunset City Sketch - Process Video

Hiya everyone! Starting August off with a process video to my sunset city sketch!

Sunsets are great to capture and can help to convey a strong mood or feeling. I personally find them to be one of the most relaxing moods! You'll see that the initial idea wasn't a sunset, but somehow along the process, my instincts just kicked in and I made that decision without too much thought behind it - it just felt right.

This post contains the 43 minute process video, the open-layered ...

Creating a Scene With Structures

The long awaited step-by-step tutorial on how to create a scene with structures is finally here! 

This tutorial sits over 2 hours long but as it should be, because creating structures is a little more technical compared to a natural scene. As usual, you'll see me take you through the entire process from blank canvas to the finished artwork.

Captions can also be turned on at the bottom right corner of the video player.

Vespiquen Encounter - Step-By-Step Tutorial

Sharing with you my first step-by-step tutorial for a pokemon piece!

As I will mention in the end of the video, Chimchar was actually spontaneously added in later on the piece so it wasn't recorded - but everything else is so I hope you'll enjoy it! :)

Place of Peace - Process Video

It's finally here! I've been getting a lot of messages about this piece so here is the process video for it :)

Neon colors can be tricky but just keep flicking on the black/white layer and check the values often to make sure everything reads well! It's a golden trick that can help an artwork 'work' in any way or color - well, most colors anyways!

Vista - Process Video

First video of the month and the artwork is another addition to my personal project!

Abel is travelling once again to explore vast areas of the world he lives in. Blue skies, tall blocky structures as mountains and with lots of bright blue water surroundings! Always nice to treat yourself to some happy fun colors!

Creating An Underwater Environment

Hi everyone! The underwater tutorial is here! :D

It's been a while since I've done an underwater scene but having a crack at this was super fun. Never think it's scary because all you need to do is have a good look at some references, know how you can take away from there and put that knowledge into your own work! Which I will cover in this tutorial. Also to mention I used a monochromatic palette which makes it extra moody!

I've kept this simple so by the end of this tutorial vide...

Sunset Clouds - Process Video

Who likes sunsets?

Here is a process video on how I created my Sunset Clouds piece. It's all about layering the right tones to capture the richness of the sunset and it doesn't need to be complex. You can do so in all sorts of ways, whether it be; blending with soft brushes or creating strong shapes, you can capture it all as long as you get the values and the 'feel' right. Play around with different ways and find what suits you best would be my best advice! Because some of you might no...

Dreamland - Step-By-Step Tutorial

It's June already! Into another new month of art and new content!

Starting June off with a new step-by-step tutorial video on how I created my 'Dreamland' artwork! This artwork was inspired by the song 'Dreamlands' by Glass Animals.

You'll see in this video that I experiment with colors quite a bit to try and find that 'dreamy' feel to the concept we're going for. The song itself is a peaceful one so it was very important that I captured that feeling and translated it over to this...

Different Ways to Add Texture to Environments (May 2022 Exclusive Tutorial)

Here it is everyone! The tutorial where I show you a couple of simple ways to add texture to your environments.

I know a lot of people can sometimes struggle with knowing how to add texture and the secret is... well.. understanding how your subjects work. Makes sense right?

With this tutorial, I aim to gear you up with some new tips and tr...

I scrolled through my files and realised I hadn't put this up yet. So here's Catfish Steve! 

This is a process video showing the creation of a recent epic creature piece and also one of my favourites in terms of design, colors and composition. I wasn't so sure at first if it was even possible for me to make a catfish look cool lol. I'll let you decide on that ;)

Greenland - Step By Step Tutorial

Here's a new step by step tutorial for you guys!

We're working with a pretty limited range here when we take a look at the finished piece here. But there is actually so much we can do if we adjust the tones a little and seperate things into the background, mid ground and foreground.

At the end, you will notice that the video doesn't include the 'detailing' of the castle and the addition of the horse. I didn't actually have it recorded but it was mainly just part of the 'finishing'...

May Exclusive Tutorial Update

Hi team!

After days of thought and the high number of requests from last months poll - I have decided to have this months exclusive tutorial to be 'Different Ways To Add Textures To Your Environments'. This means there will be no idea submissions/polls until next month!

I think this one will be helpful for many people as when starting off, it can be a bit difficult to know how, where and when to add texture. So we'll be going behind the scenes and talking about th...
