I've gone my entire life not knowing that I could get back into the feels of my 90s art school punk days if I just listened to a teacher with similar influences as me with a modern Bob Ross on the internet "that's okay if you mess up" low key vibe. All the thumbs up.
Hey Chris, I LOVE your videos. Your calm voice and chill demeanor are great for winding down in the evening. The simplicity with which you tackle your art gives me hope for myself as an artist. Thanks for sharing and creating this content.
Wow I would've assumed this channel had 300k subscribers just by how professional and put together it feels. You will definitely be there soon. Day one subscriber for sure.
Don’t know if you’ve done this or not, but would be super cool to see all of the skulls you drew. Like a ‘family night skull fest’ in the backyard type theme where the whole neighborhood stops by to watch on a big screen out back vibe. Just sayin’
I was thinking about how much more time I’ve put into my own drawings lately after seeing your process in real time with all the noodling and layers just as you wondered if you were noodling too much. Keep the pace, it’s one of my favorite parts of what you do.
demonstration/explanation and -for me - validation of process. for better (i think) seeing you do things that i need to do to get when i want to go in a creation is helpful.
Thanks Tyler! I’m trying to get a little better with each one. Still trying to get my light setup right. Seems like I’m getting there most of the time.
Make this skull into a shirt.. I LOVE this skull. I bought the retrosupply brushes today from your other vid. I got the Liner Brush pack and a few others.. You're vids have me hype on drawing again.
I think you have such a good sense of humor without realising, the way you speak entertains me ( and I swear I mean no offence!) but also the style you draw is so cool... checking your website and all the things you do are super rad. About the noodling, I think it's relatable to any digital artist, mostly for people that also are perfectionist. I like a lot of layers whenever in doubt for sketching things and not sure if I would like to compare difference or change the angle of something but at the same time not lose the "before" so if something goes wrong one can go back easily. Sometimes it's so many layers that once I get to the part of coloring I just transfer a pic of the drawing with the line art to another document and color it there...
Can you make a video about the times you use pixel based layers and brushes compared to when you use vector? I know the sizing limitations in pixels but is that the only reason? What’s your preferred? Ever mix the layers?
I’ll add that to the list. Usually I only work in vector in the project I’m working on requires vector files. That said, some things are easier to draw in vector in Fresco because of the vector trimming feature. If I want to create something that has an analog look or texture than it pretty much needs to be pixel based. You can only do so much with vector as it’s made out of points and paths, as opposed to stamping an image as pixel brushes do.
I just found your channel. Can’t stop watching and learning. Thank you for making this content!!! What is your favorite brush for outline/line work in Fresco? I can’t seem to find one that I love.
Thanks so much! Did you see my video about my favorite Fresco brushes? My current favorites are the RetroSupply Co classic inker from the liner set (link below) and if I want something clean I like “2 Smooth 2Be 4Gotten” by Kyle Webster, I think that one can be found in the MegaPack (which you can get by tapping the get more brushes option in Fresco).
whaaat captain harlock is cool i forgot about that. skulls are lame lol but your drawing vids are amazing keep it up dude. i subscribed the first time i saw ur art work fr
Any tips for when you create a new layer and it's the gray and white check background and your ellipse won't fill in when you use the tool (and have white selected)?
I really only use the vector brushes if the file product needs to be vector for some reason. There’s very few instances where vector art is actually necessary. There’s a lot more control and natural drawing feel when using pixel based brushes.
sir im doing thshirt design, im planning to use fresco , i have question ; %90 of the time i'll use vector brushes and coloring so resolution wont be a problem but in case i use some normal brushes or add some pixel base stuff to the design i believe resolution would be problem..so whats your opinion about how i set my resoulution or other file settings before i print my design?
All you need to do is figure out how large you plan to print the design and multiply that by 300. For example, a 10” wide design would need to be a minimum of 3000 pixels wide.
