Art Tutorial REALISTIC RENDERING | PAINT WITHOUT AIRBRUSH 

Hey everyone! Question: do you prefer to use HARD brushes or SOFT brushes? Let me know! :)

"Use the airbrush in such a way where I blend and unify the values within the forms but I don't want to blend the forms with each other. That's how you destroy your structure." 💯💯💯💯 Thank you for this. It really made me understand exactly how I always lose my forms when blending which resulted in a structureless drawing.

Ah man, I feel like I stumbled onto a hidden gem. It's a shame there's only two videos on this channel. I bet your educational content would have been nuts. Thank you very much for the help.

I know the airbrush can give a general undertone of color to render on top of or underneath, but I myself never liked just relying on the airbrush for rendering cuz it took away too much texture and made things look too sim like

This is PHENOMENAL! You are amazing for posting a video that ACTUALLY teaches something rather then just sending everyone over to your patreon.

I’ve watched so many tutorials on this exact subject and this is by far the clearest. Thank you and please keep the content coming!

The man didn't even need to paint this. After I seen the sketch I already knew I wasn't ready lol

I love the lighter tones peeking through the darker ones around the right eye.

This video is CRIMINALLY underrated, good shit

You know, I rarely if ever watch "art tutorial" videos, but this has really helped me realize that I've been holding myself back in a choke hold. I'd wondered why I'm so much better at rendering structures traditionally with pencils on paper than with any of my digital work. I think I really need to go back to basics digitally, and force myself to slow my roll before I continue my works, so I can be satisfied with what I'm making. This has been really helpful. I can't seem to edit my brushes the way you can, but I'm going to check if I'm able to in other programs I use. Thanks so much!!

Dude thanks for actually teaching people something, including myself. Far too many artists posting online gloss over things like this and it feels like they don't want to share their "secrets" if you will. I see so many speedpainting videos and trying out different styles but no simple explanation to things like rendering. I even asked a guy on Artstation to maybe show his working a little more, perhaps a timelapse to show how he does his excellent rendering, to which he liked the comment and proceeded to upload the same finished pieces plus 1 earlier sketch. When art is a learned skill, there is no secret sauce to making perfect art and we're all constantly learning so I don't know why so many people don't want to share their processes. To me, there is exploration of techniques and finding a balance of what works for you. I've been getting better at being more expressive in my art but I wanted to up my game in rendering and this is just the video I needed to inspire me and gave me some tips to try out and find my own way of implementing them. Great vid!

Thank you for sharing! This is the most helpful rendering tutorial I’ve seen yet.

What a great video. Easy to follow, simple instuctions, massive fundamental value.

Thank you GeminEye Art because of you I learned very crucial part of art! Lots of love and God bless you man! I really appreciate what you are doing! Thanks a ton! 🙌

Amazing painting and style! Looks very realistic and the shading looks amazing! Great job and I enjoyed watching it!

I'm so glad I found your videos! This is extremely helpful thank you for making this!

Years later and this is STILL the most helpful RU-vid video I’ve ever watched on the topic of rendering. I love how you presented the information in a practical, easy-to-digest fashion; these are principles I keep in mind whenever I render now.

The last time I saw someone explain how to properly render this well was in my first drawing course like one year ago, but it was in traditional rendering using drawing pencils. Your translation to digital was super useful to me as I am doing the jump to digital medium, thank you for explaining that well! Subscribing because I saw you plan on doing new videos soon in the comments (:

Fantastic tutorial, can’t wait to try it.

I really love this. I use CSP and I usually use hard edge shading cause i was trained in animation, but i've always wanted to do more rendered and softer shading. this video helped a lot. Thank you.

The Bargue method, really nice.

Awesome tutorial, clean instuctions, everything seems to be explained well. So no the hard part, practicing

Wow you are so talented! I love your drawing techniques!!!❤️🎄

This is lovely 🤩

Another useful day❤❤❤ thanks

Thank you for this helpful video! I enjoyed how you thoroughly explained your process. I will share this with my fellow art friends!

beautiful work my man! thanks a lot

criminally underrated channel

Wew, what a beautiful drawing of mossbag

Thank you! I've been struggling to learn digitally cuz I'm used to traditional and I see a lot of tutorials are stretched out or use airbrush, so this is just what I needed xD

You got yourself a new subscriber, LOVE this tutorial man

Direct, concise, thorough... appreciated

I have to say I love my airbrush but I really enjoy how you explained as you went, you have a nice voice and are talented!

7 lk 🥰 wonderful portrait ❤️ outstanding 🥰 thanks for sharing ❤️ stay in tuch🙏❤️✍️

i've never tried to paint traditional. I only used to draw. but i started in digitally and i wanted to learn for the first time how to paint with this hard edge brush. It is useful. thank you so much.

Great video! Looking forward to seeing more!

Man, i thought this was a 3d digital art tutorial your 2d rendering is really good!

Thank you for sharing your drawing process 👍 Big like for you 💙

Super helpful thanks a lot 💕💕

Amazing artwork!! :)

Very helpful tips! I love how you gave yours a hazy glow around the hair and face, which gives it a nice focus. I appreciate your tip on the airbrush, it's useful when achieving a gradient effect for general gradual shifts in value on your piece, but if used incorrectly will cause your drawing to lose shape and form. Definitely have to try this exercise out! 😁👍

this channel is the DEFINITION of underrated

This tutorial helped me so incredibly much! I just started out with digital art and I was using the airbrush constantly. And you're so right, it looked so muddy and weird. Just spent an hour following your tutorial and it's made a huge difference. Thank you! I was shocked to see you only have two videos on your channel. The quality of the video made me think you'd been making tutorials for years

This was so concise thank you i genuinely could not find another tutorial on this level

DUDE you're so skilled, I love it. I'm a fan.

I rarely paint my stuff but this helped me a lot! Love your art m8

Instant Sub! Awesome!!

Thank you! Subscribed

Thanks for this tutorial. I'm finally getting that blending and shadows is how you create depth and realism on a drawing

Really good! I subscribed✨🤍

0:38 is what i searched all the time xd, great video so far :D

Hey, other than the useful tutorial, I really appreciate the video length being not too short to feel like I was missing a lot(around 2 mins) but also not too long to have issue with my attention span(more than 30 mins) , but it might just be me tho, hope to see more videos from this channel in the future!

beautiful

amaasing whoa this is magic

Cool👏👏👏💙💙

your video is very detailed and easy to understand for a newbie like me, i love it. i'm waiting for your new video

Great stuff, just stumbled upon you (thanks algorithms) Look forward to more.

👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Wow nice 👍👍👍

I too thought its not a good idea to use airbrush too much late until I found christophe young rendering with just one soft round brush.. almost from start finish for is mind blowing.. 💥 🔥

THIS IS SO HELPFUL. I need to get rid of airbrush ASAP!

Give that man some views ! Good video

Oh my god this helps me so much ;-; i couldn't figure how do it

congrats you hit the algorithm

Dude your stuff is dope, I hope you make more content!

Wow great tips I can put this to work. Thanks I Sub

Thank you so much for this!

great vid ;)

Well fucking finally a good video that shows how to work shadows. I've been trying to find someone that could explain to me simply what brush to pick and how to work your way through the dark/light starting phase to the final blended tones, but I always end up listening to some "I do it this way" kinda video that never really shows nor tells you what and how to do it.

Nice wanna more

amazing art and amazing advice! i think a lot of artists who are still trying to learn think that hard brushes are the antithesis of 'natural' looking or more 'realistic' art so they try to do it all completely with airbrushing, or that soft always equals 'realistic'. but in reality there are a lot of cases to be made and examples of both, and mixtures of each! and plus, sometimes, you don't have to make it completely "realistic" for it to feel *real*, yknow?

-cách xử lý nét vẽ rất tuyệt, không ngờ bạn lại dùng bút cứng và điều đó làm mình cảm thấy rất bất ngờ. Sau khi xem hết video mình đã thay đổi suy nghĩ về việc sử dụng bút cứng như b, mong b ra nhiều video hữu ích hơn!!!!! Cảm ơn rất nhiều! -The way you handle the drawing is great, I didn't expect you to use a hard pen and that made me feel very surprised. After watching the video, I changed my mind about using a hard pen like b, hope you make more useful videos!!!!! Thanks a lot!

To do that blending without blending the forms I use a blending tool that only blends in the direction of the brush stroke

I felt so called out 😂 I'll put my airbrush aside from now on

FINE! im putting down the AIRBRUSH! blendypens wants your location though

Bro this stuff is helpful as hell, Like im rewatching this video several times now. when im stuck on a piece i refer back to this video every single time. Im thankful for content like this. your a natural teacher. i hope i get to see more tutorials like this. very helpful!

Can please also make a cloth rendering tutorial if you don't mind? ❤

Having a textured canvas is mandatory for the feeling . And if you are on ipad . I must recommend the paperfeel .

I almost always use hard brushes. I feel like I have more control over the drawings and I can always soften it up later. It's much more difficult to sharpen than it is to blur.

Great drawing, since i hope to be this good i follow you. Thanks?!

So basically for me how I do is obviously you know I do a sketch and then I do a mid grey right once I do emigrate I get the darkest grey possible right for the half like the hard Shadows right and this what are uses I use my my custom charcoal brass for the Shadows and highlights and then the mid cones I use a round opacity brush

Great video! What's the name of the song btw?

Amazing artwork! You draw very professionally! New subscriber here & Liked!

Yes the airbrush is well obviously depending on what program you is but the airbrush is not great it is very is useful for like your highlights but it's not useful for a whole render the reason why I don't know what it is but like simulating a hairbrush is difficult because the amount of particles basically it's not a great of viable option a viable option is to either use a round plus with a opacity at about 50% or even make it round brush where the Apache is low depend on how much pressure you use right and someone

I have always felt the airbrush had this "amateurish" look to it

What is the song that you used please? (btw thanks, really great advices)

Amazing guide! I will have to try out your method asap! Just curious, what are your thoughts of using a large airbrush for general light and dark shading while using a method such as in this video above that airbrushing? Thanks!

I just use the air brush for a blown out lighting in the background, other than that just a chalky brush and water color bleed brush then i blen the both that way i have a nice renderd and a nice texture

Thank you for this video…I overuse airbrush as an escape and it ends up ruining the structure and planes..the ghostly voice will surely haunt me and keep me from using it😅😅 this is what I needed .

Yo, this tutorial is fire. Finally I understand how to render. But I have a question. Can use hard edged brush with soft edged eraser to render?

This is so helpful !! Is there a way I’d be able to acquire this brush in procreate :0?

Me: listening to this while drawing Them: Do NOT use airbrush! Me: starts sweating while I use the airbrush to blend

I wish you didn't stop making videos :(

*subscribes at the speed of light

BRO COME BACK ITS BEEN TWO YEARS

if this was 2 years ago I want to see what bro's doing now

Now it's time to practice like hell..

what number value is the base here.

What's your layer set up? Do you have the shadows on a separate then the base and highlights? I'm always confused whether or not to separate my layers or how to. I've used clipping masks before but I'd like to hear from someone who knows better! Thank you for the video btw!

How does your brush go darker/lighter without touching the color wheel? When you start shading the sculpt, you seemingly start placing slightly darker and lighter colors without really ever touching the color wheel. Is it because of the brush options you have enabled? Reminds me that in other programs, like SAI, I use airbushes to create different values on a drawing then I color pick whats on the screen. Like the opposite of what you do, kind of? Many thanks for the tutorial!
