Set the Width and Height depending on your computer-5000 x 4000 px can be too much for some. Imagine Photoshop as a huge room full of artist tools-we need to choose the ones that will be useful for us.įirst, create a New File (Control-N). Yes, there is a difference!īefore we start working, we need to prepare the workspace and tools. Why? Because here I'll be teaching about painting, not about painting certain animals. Learning from comparison is quite effective-you only get the essence, without irrelevant noise.Īs a warm-up for this tutorial, take a look at these ones.

It doesn't mean you need to do the same! Don't follow me directly, just follow my advice, observing how I apply it to four different designs. In this tutorial I'll show you the process of painting four cute bat-cats at the same time.

In order to prove to you how fast this method is, I decided to do something uncommon. Adobe Photoshop isn't obligatory here, but you'll need to work some things out yourself if you use other programs. A fast process requires simple tools, so we're going to use only one, self-made brush. I'll teach you how to tame your imagination and use it to bring an idea to life. In this tutorial I'll show you a fast method to paint freely and spontaneously, while keeping control over the process.

You just start painting and the result is unpredictable. to make this thing go glowy but not ~too~ glowy im gonna lower the brush opacity (the bottom slider) to around half way.Sometimes you want to paint something, but your idea is too elusive to plan the picture properly. This can be nice, but its not really what i want cause its kinda intense. IMPORTANT NOTE: this brush’s blend mode is autimatically set to “add” (ILL DO ANOTHER POST ON THAT LATER)which means if you go over the same spot heaps of times it will eventually go a bright white. Select a layer below your base colours but above your background colour. this makes a complex galaxy kinda design in a randomised stamping pattern that is frankly SEXY AS ALL HELL. Ill do a masterpost on procreate brushes for backgrounds later, but for this piece what im gonna do it head over to the Luminescence section and pick up a “nebula brush”.
