I bought a Wacon to try it and still it eludes me. The complete control you have can be both a blessing as a curse. It is hard to make things feel natural when nothing slips by itself, you cannot make a mistake. You never need to live with and adapt around something that did not went as planned. The result always feel stiff when I try it :/
Same! lmao But I mean, some softwares feel really alike to traditional art (Like CSP if you are going to a traditional look), so I guess just makes the feel more alike lol
I've always been intimidated because of the 10,000 different settings, brushes, effects... this was great to see how not to be overwhelmed and just try it. And of course yours came out beautiful. :)
Yeah having too many brush options was always a struggle. After years I’ve narrowed it down to a soft edge square brush and a soft round brush. I’ve found you accomplish most things with just those two
I have a suggestion if you use autodust sketchbook first it’s a good stepping stone on the path It only takes about 3to4 days to figure out and then you can move on to something like procreate it takes like a 2 weeks to a month to figure everything out but you can start drawing right away with both of them
This is the perfect example of art being (mostly) in the knowledge you have on color, light form etc. It's a medium the artist behind it is what makes it shine!
I'm a 66 year old woman who's been creating art since I was a teenager. I have MS. Over the last several years I've ruined more painting and drawings then I care to say. My problem is that the nerves in my hands and arms jump - ripped paper, ruined canvas. This last September I was ready to quite completely. A friend suggested I try digital art, so I am now learning the whole digital process. The "Undo Brush Stroke" is my best friend, lol. No more tears, just a giggle and a click. I'm enjoying watching you create digital art. Thank you.
You paint traditionally like it was made digitally. Yet, you paint digitally like it was traditionally painted. Same difference, consistent results. Awesome as always!
In India its said just cause its a cub doesnt mean its not a lion’s 🦁 baby . Similarly even though you tried digital doesnt mean you arent on pro max level as an artist . Turned out wonderful
wonderful! one thing i love about digital art is how there isnt a "wrong" way to proceed. you can limit your tools within a software and it's fine, if you are comfortable with your process, it's perfect :) you have full control of everything so you can choose where you wanna go next, and if you are scared of ruining your work it's easy to do another layer or save a backup. it's like your own little artistic world, and you are god 😎 i love the portrait you did, clip studio paint is a very nice software.
Wow für dein erstes digitales Bild ist es verdammt gut geworden! Wäre ne interessante Video Serie wo du verschiedene Materialien ausprobieren würdest :)
And here once again we have proof that Art is not tied to a medium (neither traditional or digital or else) and its not dependent on which medium you are using but rather on your skills and your idea. Great picture by the way 😇
Absolutely stunning! It goes to show when you have developed the skills in traditional it translates well to digital. Your oil paintings and this digital painting are gorgeous!!! Seriously inspiring.
Wow. Since I'm from the old school, this really blows my mind. Imagine what the old masters would have thought of this! Beautiful first try Alpay. Thank you for another great video!!
@@AlpayEfe ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-WepVBzhYoP8.html. A youtuber named angry mikko does pixel art... His style might be different but Its good learning video
It's been over a decade since I used any digital image programmes professionally. Love the look of this. From back in the day the key was always about masking and layers. I couldn't say if it is still but may be worth checking. All the best Alpay
That’s merely one way of creating digital art! It’s so much more than that. You can create a painting from start to finish on only one layer with one brush if you want. However that being said layers are fantastic and can really help the process especially if you want to experiment without ruining all your work prior
I know its a sponsored thing, so this is the program you used...and I do like Clip Studio but Procreate has none of that very visible lag I see in the video. Wonder if you'd wanna give that one a whirl sometime.
Digital painting is great, has some huge advantage but one thing you simply can't change is playing with thick colours that create structure sure you can select a brush that creates a structure but it simply isn't the same as controlling where you want really thick paint overlaying also for me personally I just like handling a brush on a huge canvas with a stroke that I can control way better than a thin pencil on a small touch screen
Obviously digital art being easier than traditional art is a gross myth (unless its pixel art, i bet pixel art wouldnt be that easy to pull off traditilnally) but damn if it doesn't save time on cleanup and paint drying.
4:37 People drawing digital art with their tablet connected to a tower pc: ah yes But in all seriousness I went for digital art instead of traditional back when I started out with drawing because I could afford a tablet but I don't have money for paint, brushes and a new canvas every single time. I don't have room to set them all up. I don't even have anywhere to put them when they are done and I'm not good enough to sell them. Painting digitally was simply the best solution.
I think you got the key element right here. painting digitally lowers the effort, speeds up the process, so you can make more art and learn and improve more. That's what it has done for me too. I got lost of the fear of messing up, and transferred this to physical drawings, which was a huge game changer
I've worked exclusively digitally for the past decade at least... I feel like it has pros and cons. In my opinion the software cannot as yet compete with real-world paint. What it has in ease of use, being able to remove mistakes, etc, it lacks in authenticity. Real paint is slick and three dimensional. Digital paint is flat, the texture looks fake to me. I could never work out how to get it to properly look like real materials. I'm sure in the right hands digital art can look great. I still admire the real deal more though and that's the way I have chosen to work from now on. I can use Adobe to map a composition, but I won't be using it to make the finished piece.
This was a highly enjoyable video, great watching you work. I've been using a hybrid technique for a couple years, something I call "Digital with Traditional Mixed Media on Canvas." I start with traditional acrylic on card for the background elements, make a hi-rez scan of it, and go to work digitally painting the main subject. Then I have the file output to a semi-gloss canvas giclee on stretcher, switching back to traditional paint to add final details right on the giclee. Finish it out with a heavy semi-gloss Z-Gel coat and trace over all the brush strokes to give it added texture and dimension. Hope you'll do some more videos using digital art. Fascinating to watch how you translate your traditional painter skills into digital technique.
I really struggle finding proper colours digitally. Neither searching for them from the "map" or taking them from a reference picture works very well for me. I find it soooo much easier with real paint, I know exactly what to mix to get the colour I want hahah
Clip studio actually just recently added a color mixing palette! I struggle to get the colors I want sometimes too so I often just pick the tones I want to mix in order to get to the final color
I think that this is a common struggle in digital art, mostly because you can have a better control (?) in what color you exactly want, but having a pallete with 16,7 million options makes a bit overwhelming to choose the right color lol In traditional media you have "less" variation in mixing colors (IMO), but that's also why even fully digital artists need to study the same basics... the rules apply to all after all lmao (Also screen color calibration can be EXTREMELY overwhelming, like working on a PC and sending to a smartphone and realizing that the colors shift a lot due to technical differences)
@@RenanPietroniro I don't really think about the whole color gamut. I understand HSV and run in that mode. I'm not much of an artist, but I can usually get about the right color. If you paint a swatch on a separate layer you get a start for a palette and can blend on that. You can usually blend in either additive or subtractive mode. Traditional paint is subtractive. There are many techniques for color selection, but that feels like a good start. Just screw around with the default HSV mode for a bit and it just sort of clicks at some point. I prefer a hue slider with Sat-Val square or separate sliders for all three, rather than the overwhelming and finnicky triangle.
Great video, encouraging! I fell in love with digital art last year, and now I can't imagine living without it! I don't even know how to use all the thousands of features that the programs offer, but I am learning gradually, and you know what? I think that taking this step has accelerated my learning curve and I am getting results that I never got before, even in traditional art! The experience has been wonderful and I am glad to hear that you have enjoyed this first contact as well! Have fun with this amazing tool!
I agree with everything you said! I tried digital painting last year and I have learned so much! Things I’ve learned from it I applied to traditional and vice versa. Awesome work as always!
Hey Alpay, so good to see another video :) I started with procreate on my ipad in 2019 and have been slowly learning through play and work. it won't replace traditional methods for me but gives a total flexible approach for different projects I can stop and start.
I always wondered if it's possible to learn to paint traditionally through the digital medium. Traditional skills would easily transfer to digital, but it's very expensive for a new artist. If possible, starting the other way around would be very economic.
""Digital Amateur"" he says and walks out with such beautiful art. Man you have no idea how much you inspire with your videos. you generate a unique artistic feedback, motivating to go for new challenges and try new things. sometimes one for work or orders ends up being pigeonholed artistically, but your work and its variety, always with your touch, is inspiring.
You did an amazing job, I switched to digital in 2018 and I am still learning so many application tricks/settings to improve my artwork and yeah digital medium is good in many ways specially for those who can't afford expensive traditional art supplies.
"Since I'm an absolute amateur when it comes to digital art..." Shows a picture that would make most professional digital artist reconsider their career...XD I mean, wow, you grasped it so incredibly well. This is ludicrous. I struggled a LOT when I switched from traditional to digital and expected to see a significant drop in quality as you tried a different approach but nope. Actually got the hang of it immediately. Well done! That was impressive!
I mean in a way it IS OBJECTIVELY easier... still intimidating though. By "Easier" I mean you have access to Undo, unlimited colors, layers and everything else
HE ALPAY,,,,,I GOT QUESTION FOR YOU. CAN YOU TELL, IF SOME ARTIST CREATE A PAINTING OF SOME CELEBRITY, AND SELLS IT FOR SOME AMOUNT, ........ CAN THAT CELEBRITY ASK FOR A SHARE IN PAINTING SELL PROFIT????
I'm a digital artist who definitely finds traditional art to be easier 😂 Yes, traditional art is way more messy and less forgiving, but it's because of that that I find myself wanting every single stroke to be perfect when I'm painting digitally. It takes the life out of the artwork. When I'm drawing with a pencil or painting with oils, my sketches have so much more flow and look almost alive, something I don't experience with digital art.
5:43 Yes the undo function is pretty cool but it has one major problem. It increases perfectionism. I did both digital and traditional art before. Sometimes I just sit hours with my drawing tablet because I just can't get that one detail right. On the other hand I hated my traditional art pieces first because I thought I've messed up. But a few days later when they're dry and I look at them with enough time to get over my frustration I kinda liked them. Traditional art teached me to experiment and that not everything has to turn out exactly as I imagined in my head. Imperfections or "mistakes" can also be beautiful. My first acryl painting that I did that I bawled my eyes out over because I thought I did one process wrong and messed it up now proudly hangs on my wall above my bed
expensive digital art, who need it let have it, no mistakes, any kind of color, million possibilities, it's nice, but at the end its just print or digital fantastic picture. Traditional oil painting is the hardest of all, one a bad move and your game over, if I can choose between oil paint assets, brushes .mediums .colors, canvas, and other things, or this one I will choose traditional high-quality assets. Have a nice one. Efe I Heard the rumors, the painting coach are stronger than you?
The result was crazy good. I wouldn't mind seeing more digital stuff! I just hope that the rest of your audience, who is used to traditional art, wouldn't mind it either.
I started working digitally for over 15 years ago. And Iam never going back- traditional workflows are fun, but digital is my default. :D I had the dream to buy a wacom cintiq someday (I've worked only on the intuos model ever since) but the ipad pro is the best tool for an (digital) artist! As you mentioned- the freedom of taking it with you wherever you go is just awesome! I also like the fact, that you can collect your reference library on the device with you. Another perk of the digital workflow is that you can actually mirror your image- that helps you to detect weakspots of your composition and gives you a "fresh" view on your WIPs.
As a beginner traditional "artist" the digital stuff seems intimidating. I get overwhelmed with all the options at my disposal, and I lose track of these things easily. I have nothing but respect for people who create art digitally.
best revenge: when traditional artists force digital art into submission. revenge against whom? don't know. I'm sure someone out there deserves revenge.
With all the advantages of digital art do you find it harder to finish a art work, when I’m doing traditional art I get to a certain point where I’m happy but with digital I can zoom in, undo, add layers and I find it really hard to feel like I have a finished product. Please any advice would be welcomed
Absolutely superb !!!!! A great alternative to oil painting for a change - no need to clean brushes and have a full studio with art accessories. Do you have a recommendation of which digital art app is the best to purchase ? I am an oil painter beginner but not bad. I only find it hard to manage the messy clean up every time I paint.
U are like gramma after discovering snapchat. If u want to study cg there is alot of insane tools : 3d , gradient map , ai texturing , mate painting ...
I use digital art to increase my art skills at a cheap price. Leaning the physical medium while learning how to draw and capture likeness, is too much. So splitting the two and getting one out of the way first before going to the other is good. When the paint is not working you'll know it's not the skills that are the problem but the use of the physical tools and the lack in knowledge in what they can do. I will do traditional to sell a physical object to people. Although I know people who can sell their digital artworks.
I usually hand draw the drawing, ink it first, and then use my alcohol markers to make a color pallet before I upload into digital art so I can experiment with the palette I chose.
I've been doing digital portraits for over 10 years, I'll never be able to go back to the traditional methods because I'm so used to the undo button and being able to zoom
This is interesting; I have never used digital media, but this picture looks like ones you show using traditional media. It makes me very curious to try it.
I love seeing traditional artists doing digital art because it breaks the misconception that the computer does all the work and you are less talented if you do digital art, you already have the knowledge and experience when it comes to art so you can create a really good piece, but if a total amateur at art tries to do something using Clip studio the computer is not going to help them at all. (unlike AI art where the software actually does all the work)
I’m a trained oil painter who is now mostly a digital user, the only trap when it comes to going back oil from mostly digital is you find your self relaying on shortcuts like undo or zoom, so when doing digital it’s okay to dreaded some times don’t get to used to the,short cuts.
Nice! Another huge advantage of digital: flipping your canvas horizontally to make errors more apparent. View > Rotate/Flip > Flip Horizontal. I mapped one of my Edge Keyboard T keys to it, and with a simple thumb press I can easy and quickly flip while I’m drawing or painting.
I am a traditional and as well as a digital artist last 30 years, making a living doing so, for me there is no difference between the two mediums, sometimes I combine them both, I start with a Wacom tablet and then print it on the canvas and finish it with oils or acrylic.
I found it interesting people kept bringing up the ability to undo things in digital art making too forgiving, when erasers have existed for traditional art for the longest time… then I realized this is painting channel.
Interesting to see how being a traditional artists doing a digital artwork turned out great, while the other way around normally doesn’t. Or am I biased?
Most painting and drawing essential mistakes tend to be made on a early stage... i still re do whole paintings when *it* just doesnt work and i'm happy with it.
