If you want to be a pro digital artist, you may want to learn photoshop. In this hand holdy real time tutorial, I will teach you the most essential things you will need to get started with Photoshop. This is designed for absolute beginners by a pro that's used photoshop for longer than most humans on earth have been alive. If you're offended by the word "noob" then you're probably not going to get very far as an artist anyway. Because being an artist means that you will have to laugh at your shortcomings your whole life, and learn to appreciate and LOVE that there will forever be mountains to climb. Also, hey... at least I didn't call you a "scrub." I mean, people called me a scrub when i was starting out, and i turned out okay.
Games I've worked on -
Fortnite (Environment concept art)
Overwatch (Environment concept art + Sprays artwork)
League of Legends (Character design + Environment concept art, UI + Icons)
Diablo 3 (Character design + Environment concept art)
Hearthstone (Illustration)
Burning Crusade(Character design + Environment concept art)
Wrath of the Lich King (Character design + Environment concept art)
Indivisible (Environment concept art)
Final Fight Streetwise (Voice Acting + Character Design + World Design + Cutscene Direction + Co writer on script)
He Man GBA (Pixel Art)
Terminator 3 GBA (Art Direction + Pixel Art)
CannonBallers (Character + World design)
Ikeda: The Scrap Hunter (Programming + Art + Design)
Goblins and Gnomes (Concept Art)

*Useful Shortcuts (For NOOBS)* B = Brush E = Eraser M = Selection Tool W = Quick selection V = Move Tool (to move layers on canvas) R = Rotating Canvas (Hold Shift for more incremental rotations) Hold Alt + Middle mouse scroll = Zooming in/out Hold Alt = Also brings up color picker Hold Spacebar = Pan around the canvas (if zoomed in) Ctrl/Cmd + Z = Undo Ctrl/Cmd + Shift + Z = Redo Ctrl/Cmd + D = will deselect all created selections. Ctrl/Cmd + Shift + i = will invert your selections. Ctrl/Cmd + T = Will edit (Free Transform) the current layer (resize/scale/distort). Hold Shift + Any transformation action = will change/keep the proportions of your edit (in Free Transform). Hold Shift + Painting with Brush = will give you a straight line.

Dude. Dun fall into the watching art tube and making no art trap. Therein lies a dark and murky land haunted by the screams of broken dreams and wails of disillusioned ghosts. I was drawing on the train the other day and this little kid came up to me after peeking at my drawing for a few stops and asked me how I got ‘so good’ at drawing. I laughed, a tad embarrassed, and then showed him my pencil and paper and said you scribble on this using that and do that everyday for the rest of your life. The kid kind of stood there with his eyes wide open and the he smiled and I gave him my Blackwing and wished him luck. There is no such thing as talent in my opinion. There is only hunger to learn. Especially among professionals. A pro is really somebody who just keeps learning; who loves learning via creating and builds a life around that.

@MasterYoda389 2 года назад

An interesting bit about what Trent said at the 21min mark: Don't "focus" on copying other people's styles. It fundamentally warps your understanding of how to build art. You'll still get better yes , but not like a complete package that fundamental basics will provide you. So yeah, don't compare yourself to other artists, I made that mistake and it grinded me for a few years. The art is incredibly subjective and the dividends can vary WILDLY. Learning to draw is for fun and personal curiosity. Learning to be an "artist" is a whole other beast that requires networking, an image to your name and lots of presence. So past the basics, the most important thing is to make a name for yourself.

@dragonkilla4540 2 года назад

Yep. I learned that lesson already. 👍🏽

@Spamkromite 3 года назад

Sometimes when I'm not sure about deleting something or erase-painting, I make a mask and paint the parts I want to erase there. If I feel they are good I apply the mask, but if the experiment ended not like I expected, I delete the mask and all those changes disappear. It's a good method to prevent destroying your work by doing harsh editions on it or when you just want to experiment a bit with composition by hiding stuff from different layers.

@fyrebird5898 2 года назад

This is helpful even for illustrators who're a little more experienced. I've been working with photoshop for years and still an idiot with keyboard shortcuts. Manually increasing brush sizes is time consuming and I've found it messes with my thought process. We're always learning, gotta stay humble and admit when we're not quite doing things right or efficiently. Thanks Trent, you've got yourself a new subscriber :)

@annemettelehmann8414 2 года назад

Thank you soooooo much - Love how easy and simple you make things look, others seem to do a lot of explaining, and sometimes it's just more confusing. You are giving us the basic tools to just get started - ready set draw! Keep on truckin'! :)

@Gottaculat 11 месяцев назад

For the mixer brush, think of it like blending makeup, where you can paint highlights and shadows, then blend them into your midtones. I've found an useful configuration to be: Enable clean brush after each stroke, wet: 5%, load: 20%, mix: 33%, flow: 33%. Those settings, combined with a brush that emulates one of those big, round, floofy makeup brushes, or simply a soft default round brush, will get you some decent blending action without being too over-powering.

@Kijinn 3 года назад

My brain was screaming defiantly, when I noticed that you were drawing on the "background" layer. It took me such a long time to not forget to create a new layer *before* beginning to draw. My advice for beginners: Drawing on the background layer will create problems along the way. Unless you know what you're doing, *always create a new layer first* and draw on that! To this day it makes me angry that Photoshop doesn't immediately create a new layer for you, like many newer art programs do.

@TrentKaniuga 3 года назад

I needed to cover brushes and drawing before I covered layers. But yes. I always draw on a new layer.

@daishin8492 2 года назад

I DO THAT ALL THE TIME.

@Kijinn 2 года назад

@@scorpodile9649 That's a fair point. Still, I wouldn't expect the automatic layer every time a document is opened, but exclusively when you're opening a new blank file. I may be wrong about this, but there seem to be rather few scenarios where you'd open a blank file to touch up a photo.

@heckle875 Год назад

You can just unlock the layer and rearrange/select and bring to diff layer

Thank you so much! I previously drew 50/50 in Autodesk Sketchbook and Paint Tool Sai. I only really did colouring in Sai, because I dislike the sketching brushes there, but I preferred the colouring brushes over those in Sketchbook. I've managed to get Photoshop, because every time I see a profesisonal artist, they use it. I honestly think this is going to go far better than my last attempt, especially with this tutorial. For such a complicated program, the tutorial itself is appropriate for beginning artists who've decided to take the hard route. I love everything about it.

Since you gave so so many tips to my journey to becoming a better illustrator as a design professional I can finally give something back. DPI or PPI doesn’t matter in this case. It won’t change the sharpness or amount of pixels. At all. It just virtually says how many it has per inch. Try making two files both at 3000x1500. And make them 72ppi and 300ppi. It won’t change the total amount of pixels or sharpness :) Thanks for all the videos!

@EagleBreasts 3 года назад

Been using photoshop for the past 10 years, but never to draw. Don't really like the "feeling" of it 😕 I use it just to give the last "touches". Paint Tool Sai is my choice, it simple and very responsive, and really never crashed on me. And the watercolor "magic" you can do it's very pleasant 🙃 Not fancy as Photoshop, but that's what really make it perfect to me. It's just like having a sheet of paper right in front of you + the art tools! Very traditional feeling! Thanks for sharing, and again, for the great video Trent! Cheers!
