TUTORIAL 1: Building the Formby `juuhanna

Resources & Stock Images / Tutorials / Digital Art / Drawing & Painting / Photoshop

A lot of people ask me how I paint my paintings and collaborations, so I decided to finally make tutorials explaining the steps I take to get to the results you can see in my gallery.

Here's part 1, which shows how to get the shapes down easily.
In Part 2 I will explain how to lay down the colors, and in Part 3 I will further explain how to polish and detail the picture.

This technique is actually a variation of really old traditional oilpainting-technique called grisaille, aka greyscale. It's a very useful technique which helps separate the painting-process into more easily controllable steps.

I know I personally can get carried away by all the lovely colors of the world and my painting turns out to be a complete mess unless I think about the shapes first, as a separate step! Then comes the colors, then comes the detailing and polishing.

I'm sorry about certain inconsistency with the screencaps and whatnot, I painted the painting in another city with a mac and then came home and changed to my PC, I used two different versions of photoshop, etc. So getting this together was a bit messy. Hopefully you peeps can still understand something of it! @_@

This is a really good tutorial

I was wondering what brush are you using?

`juuhanna May 30, 2013 Professional General Artist

Just some standard Photoshop brush with slight modification - you can check out the settings at the third part of these tutorials!

I don't get that second part, about the magic wand. I tried to do what was explained but it's not working how i want it to.
I'm working in painter 12 btw, idk if that makes it different.

`juuhanna May 21, 2013 Professional General Artist

I haven't used Painter in a while but I have the same version so I just checked - with Painter 12 you can select the outside areas with magicwand tool and then press ctrl and I at the same time; that'll invert the selection.
Then choose the other layer and fill the selected area with paintbucket tool.

I hope that helps!

it worked in certain areas.
But i tried it in PS and it does a way better job then Painter 12 when it comes to that.

Thanks

Glad it worked out somehow!

lmao, thanks

This tutorial is simply wonderful! It's far more clear than most of the others I've seen!

But if I may ask a possibly stupid question based on my extremely inferior knowledge of Photoshop (

) what does the Multiply setting do to layers? I don't see what it changes. ^^"
