?50 Lesson 8 - Speedpainting Part 5 - Painting 3 - Angelic Perspective

P50 - 00:00?

?Welcome to speed painting and perspective.?

P50 - 00:07歡迎來到速寫和視角線。?

Now when it comes to speed painting in perspective, I always find It the most helpful to have a strong photobase.?

P50 - 00:14照片拼圖基礎(chǔ)上繪制非常重要的。?

In this case I asked one of my friends who studied abroad in Europe to send me some of his photos. So that every single photo that I'm using in this photo bash is actually photos from his collection that he gave me full permission to use.?

P50 - 00:26我是被允許用這些照片集的。?

Of course, we start off with perspective grids no matter what.?

P50 - 00:30我們從視角線開始。?

And for this piece I'm doing an arrival shot hype of composition, to focus mainly on the environment. To demonstrate to you a perspective exterior.?

P50 - 00:39抵達(dá)場景的外景繪制。?

Everything that you're seeing me do right now of distorting and transforming all of these buildings is all stuff that you've seen me do.?

P50 - 00:45扭曲變形操作你看過無數(shù)次了。?

And this Cinderella photo bach piece. In this case, the same rules apply. Just make sure that all of your photos are here to the grids. ?

P50 - 00:54確保你的照片和視角線一致。?

Now to make sure that I can complete this painting within like two to three hours, especially for things as complex as buildings I and joy pasting these buildings First of all, of course, accordingly with the right perspective and then going on Top and simply painting and lassoing tooling and filling in the colors that way.?

P50 - 01:12套索出填補(bǔ)元素，繪制，上色。?

One thing i'd like to know. Those since this piece does use photographs more heavily, I intentionally used photographs that.?

P50 - 01:23我用照片拼圖的原因。?

number one have been given to me. And I have full permission to use. And number two are all of the same location. So that the architecture is accurate isn't super off.?

P50 - 01:33建筑物在拉伸中精確度未損失。 ?

We can't exactly have a Roman coliseum in an Asian temple next to each other.?

P50 - 01:38羅馬競技場和亞洲廟宇不能毗鄰。?

for personal pieces in practice, I think using a large portion of photos taken from anywhere is OK. ?

P50 - 01:43個人訓(xùn)練用的素材哪里都可獲取。?

But for client work or anything that I am turning in professionally, I stick to mainly my own references because photography is art too. ?

P50 - 01:52但是個人專業(yè)引用照片不能隨便。?

Don't forget and we don't want to take someone else's hard work for ourselves. Of course, these would be for situations where you're using a heavy amount of the photo, perhaps around seventy percent or more. But if you're just taking like a tiny pebble from the corner of someone's photo, that no one's gonna care,?

P50 - 02:08如果引用鵝卵石大小沒人在意。?

at least of all mother nature.?

P50 - 02:09尤其是自然景觀。?

But in this case, one of the buildings that I’m using is very similar to the photograph I’m sticking with photos that I have been given full permission to use in any way that I’d like.?

P50 - 02:18我經(jīng)過授權(quán)按我喜歡方式用照片。?

for this piece, I think I’m really going to enjoy drawing a cute little angel just strolling alongside the train tracks with her little suitcase.?

P50 - 02:52小天使帶行李沿著火車軌道散步。?

Maybe she's going somewhere, or maybe she's just gotten off the train and was in a suitcase.?

P50 - 02:58也許要去哪里也許剛下車拿行李。?

I don't know, but I love the mystery of it. And at this point I have basically abandoned my reference as I am simply using my intuition.?

P50 - 03:06這時候放棄參考，只憑直覺。?

And the first thing I do with my intuition is change the color.?

P50 - 03:09第一件事改變顏色。 ?

Because what is the point of me as an artist? If I simply copy the photograph after all, my job should be to make the painting more enticing the real life.?

P50 - 03:20通過繪制貼近真實(shí)的生活。?

Therefore I start adding all these crazy colors like a pastel pink.?

P50 - 03:23比如加入水粉色。?

or a mint green for the windows and doors.?

P50 - 03:25比如門窗是薄荷綠。?

It's still very similar to my original reference,?

P50 - 03:29和最初的參考還是很像。?

but I just changed it up a little bit. Now as I'm repainting these buildings,?

P50 - 03:32重新繪制。?

I use my soft rectangular brush tool.?

P50 - 03:36軟長方形刷子。?

And you will see that there is a slight bit of texture on the pink walls.?

P50 - 03:40粉墻上有紋理感。?

And a green little archway thinking is right underneath the roof. ?

P50 - 03:45綠色小拱門橋接在屋檐下。?

While it is off screen, I still do have the original photo reference above me.?

P50 - 03:53實(shí)際上屏幕外我還是有參考圖的。?

And rather than look at it for the colors or for the composition, I'm now only looking at it to inform myself of how to shade this piece instead.?

P50 - 04:03不受參考圖案影響而是專注構(gòu)思。?

So the reference image will tell me where I should add the shadows, how heavy of a shadow I should add.?

P50 - 04:09哪里加入陰影，加入多重的陰影。?

And you'll also notice that I added this small ambient occlusion to anything that is supposed to stick out this tiny little line.?

P50 - 04:16環(huán)境遮蔽讓實(shí)體輪廓非常醒目。?

and this dark little light does wonders. I tell you, to make your piece to feel more realistic. Just give it a shot next time.?

P50 - 04:25嘗試讓環(huán)境變真實(shí)的方案。?

If you have anything that supposed to be touching like a window against a wall,?

P50 - 04:30窗戶在墻上。?

add a small little line of ambient occlusion and you will see a world of difference. ?

P50 - 04:34加入環(huán)境遮蔽。?

For the shrubbery, I am using my hairy Minnesota brush.?

P50 - 05:00臺階下灌木用H明尼蘇達(dá)畫筆。?

And I'm also using that same brush more and more towards the overall treatment of my buildings.?

P50 - 05:05同樣的筆刷處理建筑。?

You can see that slowly with every single layer of paint that I put on to the buildings, they get more and more tooth into the texture.?

P50 - 05:13每刷一筆，樓房越有質(zhì)感。?

very different compared to how naked it was in the very beginning when I simply use a lasso tool and the hard round brush tool,?

P50 - 05:18跟用套索和硬圓筆刷時候不同。?

I'm telling you, Hairy Minnesota works on basically everything.?

P50 - 05:22H明尼蘇達(dá)刷萬物。?

And again I'm using Hairy Minnesota coupled with a little bit of the oil painting brush to add more shrubs and bushes and adding shrubs wherever the buildings are close to each other,?

P50 - 05:33灌木和建筑彼此拉的很近。?

just so that I can differentiate those buildings apart.?

P50 - 05:36這樣建筑是可以分開的。?

So that so it seems like there's a little bit of a gap in between these buildings.?

P50 - 05:40建筑群之間是有空隙的。?

And so to the sidewalk does it feel too empty.?

P50 - 05:44人行道顯得空蕩蕩的。?

Basically a decorative weed and shrubbery.?

P50 - 05:45灌木叢起到裝飾作用。?

A common question I get from my speed paintings is how do you exactly choose the color.?

P50 - 05:51如何選擇顏色的問題。?

now for this because I'm speed painting and I'm trying to go as fast as I can.?

P50 - 05:57我盡可能的去快速做。?

I'm not really using reference Instead, I am pulling from what I like instinctively,?

P50 - 06:02我用的直覺而不是參考。?

recently i've been absolutely loving pastel color palette.?

P50 - 06:06最近我喜歡水粉色。?

And so I try to bring a little bit of that same flavor into this painting here.?

P50 - 06:11所以我想把風(fēng)格加入進(jìn)來。?

This is something that you'll develop with time.?

P50 - 06:14這是時間沉淀的技能。?

You'll develop your own tastes.?

P50 - 06:15尋找出適合自己的風(fēng)格。?

And there will also be times when you really want to use dark colors.?

P50 - 06:19也有時間你喜歡黑色的。?

So you use dark colors. And there will be other times when you want to use super bright, peppy neon colors.?

P50 - 06:26有時候你想用霓虹亮色。?

Speed painting is all about trying to go and reach inside of yourself and seeing what colors that you gravitate towards to the most. ?

P50 - 06:33看對自己最吸引的顏色是什么。?

And if you don't want to do that, if you want to do something that's very accurate and something that works really well, then you already know the answer. Just find a good piece of reference like we've been doing this entire time.?

P50 - 06:44或者找到參考做精確的。?

I'm a little bit sick of using reference at this point. I just wanna draw something that makes me feel really happy and feel really bright.?

P50 - 06:51我喜歡歡愉明亮的。?

So I'm completely ignoring the reference throwing it out the window and just put it in colors that I think work together.?

P50 - 06:57我不看參考，按照直覺匹配顏色。?

If that doesn't work for you, then you don't need to do that kind of method. The most foolproof way would be to use reference, just so you know, ?

P50 - 07:03證據(jù)十足的方式就是旁征博引。?

now we’re zooming in and trying our little Angel, I struggled a little bit to figure out what color I want her dress to be.?

P50 - 07:12小天使應(yīng)該什么服飾顏色呢？?

At first I thought I wanted to be white, but the problem with the white dress is that it blends in too much with the background.?

P50 - 07:18白色融入背景。?

So to make sure that she can still stand out, because she's the main focus point.?

P50 - 07:22可以成為焦點(diǎn)的。?

I changed her dress to this bright sunflower yellow.?

P50 - 07:26衣服變成明亮向日葵顏色。?

Not only does the yellow color allow her to pop out against the green of the door,?

P50 - 07:30不僅僅黃色和背景綠色撞色凸顯。?

but I do think it adds a very nice little pop of sunshine bright happy color.?

P50 - 07:34加入金色陽光照耀的顏色。?

Because whenever I think of yellow I think of friendship and happiness and some flowers.?

P50 - 07:39象征友誼和幸福。?

like I said, yes, yellow can also mean danger. But in this case because it's a cute little yellow dress, you don't feel danger, you just feel happy.?

P50 - 07:46黃色可能象征警示在這幸福友誼。?

And that's what I want someone to feel when they look at this piece. ?

P50 - 07:49這是劇照傳遞給人的感覺。?

As I start to reach towards the end of this piece, I realized that I didn't add enough lighting.?

P50 - 08:23我沒有加入足夠的光。?

So my piece overall has very low contrast.?

P50 - 08:25低對比度。?

And when you have low contrast, everything kind of blends together, because it has the same problem as the movie strange magic,?

P50 - 08:34融合在一起是個問題。 ?

where all the colors are just kind of grey. If you turn them into black and white and mix so that nothing stands out.?

P50 - 08:42《奇怪魔法》里黑白圖的問題。?

Therefore I went in with a multiply layer and I darken in all of the shadows.?

P50 - 08:45多重層暗黑料理。?

Additionally I used a soft light layer to speckle the right side of the buildings with this holy a little bit of light,?

P50 - 08:55柔光層锃亮光。?

so that it really makes the left side much darker and really brings the needed contrast.?

P50 - 09:00左側(cè)陰影更暗，形成對比。?

Again, all three of these paintings will have the PSD available for you to go in and look through all the things that i've done. ?

P50 - 09:08有PSD文件供查找。?

Because I'm sure that a lot of times you'll hear me talk about these different layers. But it's a lot more different when you're actually able to look at these layers yourself.?

P50 - 09:15自己研究圖層是另一種感覺。?

And really dig in and get your hands on them. So feel Free to download them and check them out. I don't think I need to say anything else about the color Look up and adjustment, but I have to do the very end cause that's basically it. That's what I do to the end of every single piece. ?

P50 - 09:30顏色查找選擇。?

And with that, our 3rd speed painting. And to be quite honest, it is going to be our last painting of this entire series. We've gone through so many different paintings throughout the life of this course and I'm so happy to be able to end it on such a bright, happy little painting and has all the aspects of life that I really enjoyed, from bright peppy colors to using photographs that my friends took to that. It feels like my friends are with me on this piece and adding just a cute little Angel who is maybe on a secret mission. I don't know. But now you see me do three speed paintings in front of your eyes. Over all this painting. Also talk a little bit longer. It took around two to three hours because buildings are on the more complex side, just like hands and faces. But it's still done in basically two or three hours. That's still pretty impressive, but I feel that when you make something way too fast, you're also decreasing the quality of it.?

P50 - 10:30兩到三小時完成的速寫。?

I do want to make sure that I prioritize quality over just simply rushing through it. Therefore for me for now two to three hours is my sweet spot for a speed painting. Now take my arm or my virtual arm and let's head into our recap and discuss what we've learned so far. And then of course, figure out what your assignment is, that you can do the exact same thing.?

P50 - 10:51接下來是布置作業(yè)。?

Let's go.?

?

51 Lesson 8 - Speedpainting Part 6 - Recap

P51 - 00:01?

?Today we tackle the speed painting, which while we don't have a dictionary, clear definition can be loosely interpreted as a finished painting done within one to three hours of work.?

P51 - 00:12速寫概念是兩三小時內(nèi)完成草圖。?

The purpose of a speed painting within work is typically to be forms of vast exploration and definitely not to explore the final look of something.?

P51 - 00:20為試錯準(zhǔn)備的，不是最終成圖。 ?

So definitely not a key frame because it is focused on speed. A lot of the steps that we went through in our previous paintings like carefully planning out a mini black and white thumbnail to determine values are skipped over.?

P51 - 00:34跳過了開頭的計劃和黑白圖。?

And we rely on our intuition instead to tackle things like composition colored and values almost instantly.?

P51 - 00:41憑借直覺即興創(chuàng)作。?

This is also why I propose that speed paintings can really only be at a 30% completion level of what your normal paintings look like.?

P51 - 00:49快速繪制完成三分之一。?

for the foundations necessary for a speed painting come from doing your typical painting is constantly and eventually you'll start to develop an almost intuition level of execution.?

P51 - 01:01完全打印直覺。?

Allow you to make decisions almost instantly.?

P51 - 01:04即興創(chuàng)作。允許靈感揮灑自如。?

This is also the episode where I went over brushes, everyone's favorite portion.?

P51 - 01:08刷子部分。?

I go over which brushes I use specifically for what task. And I am an advocate for both sides of the argument for brushes. Brushes are only a tool, not a wholly excalibur, that will instantly make a painting great. ?

P51 - 01:20刷子僅僅是個工具。?

But in the nature of the tool, if you're using the right tool for something, everything will look much better and be faster.?

P51 - 01:26欲善其功利其器。?

Don't forget, only good cooks will truly be able to wield the best ingredients and equipment properly to bring out their full potential.?

P51 - 01:35好的烹飪還是需要好調(diào)料激發(fā)出。?

So if you had to choose between the skill level and a good brush, I would definitely go for skill level.?

P51 - 01:41繪制技術(shù)勝過刷子。?

And also these are just my brushes. If you have something that you like that you are currently using, by all means please use it.?

P51 - 01:48用適合你自己的刷子。?

You do not need to use any of my brushes. You are completely able to do a speed painting without any of my brushes.?

P51 - 01:53不用我的刷子，你完全可以完成。?

In fact, there are definitely brushes out there that are better than mine. And now we dive in and I demonstrate how to paint not one, not two but three speed paintings, each tackling something different.?

P51 - 02:07做了三幅速寫，各有千秋。?

with Cinderella. I explained the most foolproof method of drawing a human is just asking a human to pose for you.?

P51 - 02:14請求人擺個姿勢你拍照。?

Yes. Artists should learn anatomy, but when you only have two hours to deliver a painting to your director, I just saved you five years of studying anatomy.?

P51 - 02:23節(jié)省你五年學(xué)習(xí)解剖的時間。?

This is a foolproof class after all. As we paint and chat, I go over which specific brushes I use for each part and explain that areas like the hands and face will inevitably take more time because they need that extra care and attention.?

P51 - 02:37手和臉的繪制花費(fèi)時間。?

Then we head to the forest where I am now sent you a few more photos from the beginning based tackling an altarpiece composition with a little fox adventure.?

P51 - 02:44接下來是小狐貍森林探險記。?

I noticed that I haven't been drawing anything green. So this is a nice opportunity to take advantage of the fact that tackle some lush mossy forest locations.?

P51 - 02:54繪制長滿苔蘚的森林。?

I also intentionally want a little bit of story to go with this painting and make the sword. This sort of mangled root like texture and material. to match the roots of the tree. And I'm having these routes just crawl across the rocks, make it feel like it's being ingrained into the heart of the forest.?

P51 - 03:14攀巖的藤蔓像是森林的力量。?

And I finish this piece off with some field blur. God raised, colour dodge the color look up, and the selective color.?

P51 - 03:22區(qū)域模糊 高光圣光 顏色查找。?

right after that without missing a beat, we head into our first perspective exterior demo.?

P51 - 03:28視角線外景繪制。 ?

And our final painting which is a little Angel at a train stop in Europe.?

P51 - 03:31歐洲車站的小天使。?

to keep things fast. I rely on the photo a little more heavily. And all the photos used in this piece were given to me from a friend who has studied abroad in Europe from his personal collection, i bash in a few different pieces, accordingly to the perspective grid.?

P51 - 03:44依據(jù)視角網(wǎng)格拉伸照片拼圖。?

But I changed the colours into something much brighter and also more pastel because I don't want to just copy the photograph. I want to make this piece my own.?

P51 - 03:55我改變明亮色彩變成我自己風(fēng)格。?

as always after using only like 3 of my 10 brushes. I finish the piece off with the standard color lookup and selective color.?

P51 - 04:05三把刷子 顏色查找選擇。?

And I now have three different speed paints, all done from scratch for you to see pieces that I created specifically for this course in order to demonstrate different aspects. And that's it. We’ve done it.?

P51 - 04:21創(chuàng)建三幅作品。?

this is the last recap that will cover overall paintings. You've gotten to the 8th module and you deserve a break, from long paintings that is, because now I'm going to push you into creating fast paintings. And I can courage you to really experiment this module.?

P51 - 04:40享受快速繪制的訓(xùn)練過程。?

Let's find out more at the practice and improvement section for this lesson.?

?

52 Lesson 8 - Speedpainting Part 7 - Practice & Improvement

P52 - 00:01?

?And now for your second to last assignment. we made it all the way here. But all right, your second to last assignment is going to be little red riding hood and Cinderella. No, I'm joking. Oh, my goodness! I would never you're done. Okay, no more, but you don't have to look at those two images ever again, I promise. However, you can probably guess what I'm gonna ask for the homework to be. You saw me at do three different speed paintings. Therefore, I ask you to also deliver me at least three different speed paintings.?

P52 - 00:41作業(yè)也是三幅速寫。?

And actually to be quite honest, I would say go for a minimum of three speed paintings, I would like you to try between vertical and horizontal pieces, especially if you haven't tried them before.?

P52 - 00:54水平和垂直的畫法。?

Try a natural setting. So like nature and then try things with perspective.?

P52 - 00:58自然的和帶視角線的。?

So whether an interior or exterior with buildings, try different compositions and I would like for you to actually shoot and aim for five.?

P52 - 01:08五個照片組合。?

the reason why is because the speed painting and especially with speed painting. the best way to get better at this stuff as a try try and try and try.?

P52 - 01:18不斷的試錯來訓(xùn)練。?

I want you to look at these speed paintings and understand that i've been doing speed paintings for quite a while. In fact I honestly enjoy speed painting far more than basically any other form of painting.?

P52 - 01:28享受快速繪制。?

I like things that are fast and these are all pretty simple subject matters, that I am very comfortable with. Therefore if you are just starting out or you don't have that much experience with speed painting don't expect your speed paintings to look just like mine, in the same amount of time. ?

P52 - 01:44沒訓(xùn)練過不要期待和我一樣速度。?

I want you to ask yourself what is fast for you yourself and try to aim for a painting within that time.?

P52 - 01:52跟自己比。?

It doesn't need to be this polished. It doesn't need to be this finished. Your first speed painting is probably going to be a little bit half hazard. ?

P52 - 02:00不一定這樣精雕細(xì)琢的要求。?

And in the second painting, you get the hang of it. And then the 3rd painting, you'll basically be getting into a groove.?

P52 - 02:07找到思路后流程化。?

And then you go into your 4th and 5th, I want you to try different techniques for each of these paintings to push yourself and have fun.?

P52 - 02:15每一次訓(xùn)練都有提升。?

Don't worry about the finish the fidelity, obviously because I'm trying to teach something here. So I have to make sure the fidelity is some kind of degree, but you don't need to worry about that.?

P52 - 02:25我必須考慮保真性。?

I above all want you to try different techniques and try to push for speed and have fun just pushing paint around. That being said, please don't submit to me. Something is completely unfinished. The entire point of a speed painting is a turn in something that looks characteristically unfinished, but has a nice charm to it, but is ultimately supposed to be well finished.?

P52 - 02:46最好有性格的成品非半成品。?

I would honestly much rather than you submit to me one really, really good painting to instead submit a bunch of kind of crappier paintings,?

P52 - 02:55保證質(zhì)量的作品。?

because that's where improvements sprouts.?

P52 - 02:59保證質(zhì)量才是進(jìn)步階梯。?

The more you fail, the more you fall down, the more you'll get up, the more that you add to your growing visual library.?

P52 - 03:07失敗中積累視覺經(jīng)驗(yàn)。?

So that soon a lot of this stuff will also be in your comfort zone as well.?

P52 - 03:10納入你習(xí)慣后成為舒適區(qū)。?

And you'll be able to whip these up and probably less time than I do. And that's my only wish is that one day you will surpass me in terms of both speed and ability. But it won't be easy because I will continue to practice myself as well. So let's all work hard together. And I very much look forward to what you are going to come up with this week. I think that this is probably going to be the most fun week unless you absolutely detest speed painting.?

P52 - 03:37訓(xùn)練愉快。?

In that case, I hope that in these five paintings you'll find some love for pushing paint around in the best way possible.
