I've been following you for a while. You are one of my favorite teachers I've found on the internet. Great tutorials great explanations, great everything Hardy. Thank you so much man.
This painting is double awesome. Having learnt with you the value of shapes helps to have a much better understanding of what you are painting and why, gives a much deeper insight. Second, you address a common pitfall by not repressing the urge to finish a painting. One of the most difficult things to control, far more than just technical aspects. Great video Hardy!
Hi, I'm from Brazil, I'm a big fan. I learned a lot watching your classes, your videos help me to evolve more every day. Congratulations on your work!!! :)
Man, after watching some of your classes on Skillshare i fell in love with your art. Found out you have a RU-vid channel as well, gotta binge watch everything!!!
What a timing i found this video in same situation...stuck at halfway thanks man I am exactly doing already what u suggested...and I screenshot the your good teacher's quat ,that's very true..thanks for sharing ❤
For the silhouette concept phase, I just use a solid diamond shaped brush. Those angular corners give the shapes an interesting quality. For painting, I just use a standard round brush set to very low flow and opacity. I tap repeatedly to build up tone slowly and with control. I hope that helps. Thanks for checking it out!
And to you :) For shiny surfaces, it's just a matter of increasing contrast. Brighter highlights and darker shadows. You can also reflect the environment on the sides to increase the effect.
I need to find a way to make those publicly available. Right now, they are only available to my academy students. BUT, these brushes are really common and not worth spending any $$. It's just a standard round brush with really low flow and opacity for the values. A few smudge brushes too that came with Photoshop
