Sir Can you adobe fresco tutorial

@@vishnuvijayan1507 please no

Joined! But are you a teacher and if yes, how do I find your classes?

@@bridgetory5943 I can’t find them either

did anyone ever find his classes I can't find them either?

This was not the time nor the place ☝️

That makes me really happy to hear. Also I’m so glad I was able to release this video. I worked so hard on it that getting the video pulled by a false copyright claim was really scary. I’m glad it got sorted in the end but honestly that was just sheer luck.

I thought about it for a long time but right now I'm really glad that I started the membership because it gives me freedom to make videos that I just know wouldn't work with the algorithm. The lessons are also more fun to design than the ones I've done for schools because I never have that moment of "we don't have time for this or this is too advanced for this amount of lectures". I'm now more aware of how much stress there is in making content for youtube because of people expecting certain type of content and the membership stuff has really never felt at all stressful. Because I keep the tutorial relatively on one topic they're also super fun to edit as they don't take me all week to fine tune. I always knew it would be more work but I didn't anticipate that making them would benefit my public uploads so much too because I don't have to try making one video to be about everything at once. This video for example was way more enjoyable to make because I knew I could focus on giving all information required for this way of practicing art. Had I also tried to cram in colour,blending and brush strokes it would have just been an unfocused mess to watch and a nightmare for me to edit.

I think I would really love editing if the programs and systems were a bit more stable. When everything works though I geek out on the silliest things. The story clip on my ig for this probably won’t be seen with audio by most people but when the timing of it settled into place it was so satisfying to tweak 🎵

Starting is the exciting part but even more fun is finishing a piece when my inner voice tried to make me quit.

damn not even a like

If I can afford to do one someday I will. Right now I’m working from 5 to 9 to make content for this channel, meet my commission deadlines, answer comments and to plan and shoot tutorials for the channel members. I’ve never had this long workdays in my life so adding one more expensive project on top is simply something I can’t afford to do right now.

@@angrymikko I totally understand. Please take your time and care for your health because that's the most important thing one can have.

I really feel like that already. Right now having this membership option on this channel is like having an absolute dream client once every 3 months. For a week I can just paint what I want to paint and I don't have to hide the piece because of NDA clauses but I can share it here. A week in every 3 months might not sound like much to some but everyone subscribed to this channel, not just the members benefits from it when I have one extra video done during that time that would otherwise have been spent with client work that I can almost never show here.

It was a bit scary situation. Luckily I found my own workaround that fixed it. Waiting for all the parties to come together and solve it would have taken ages. I’m glad that my agency understood the situation right away and they didn’t mind this video being late a few days. I worked on this from morning to night every day after getting back from Lapland. Honestly I was most worried about losing the right to publish this at all after the dozens of hours it takes to put one of these together. It might not be that obvious but doing a video is a creative process on its own and the thought of that work going to waste is just the worst feeling I can imagine.

As long as I still have a pulse and general belief in the goodness of people then I’m sure new videos will keep coming if I can afford to make these.

This approach makes the brush strokes look even more drastic in print but personally it’s something I like to look at on my walls. Those paintings just hold my attention longer when it’s a physical object in the room as opposed to something flat and graphic.

Have you SEEN my sketches 🤣 go look at the first seconds of any of my livestreams where I have a sketch ☝️ your lines are probably not at that level of mess so don’t worry about it. When you are in the middle of the process work the entire piece not just colours or lights but everything including the lines until they eventually stop fighting each other.

@@angrymikko Haha, messy is fine anyway 😏 Thanks for the advice though. Love your work and way to approach painting!

Literally counting individual numbers now 🐝🎨🌸

If you have opacity set to the way you use the stylus there should always be access to softer brush strokes when you feel like that’s what you want and need to do. My opacity is set to steep angle threshold so that I don’t accidentally trigger it when I don’t mean to do so. Easy place to start is a linear pressure curve but I found that to lead into most of the brush strokes being blended on both ends so I tweaked it to have a high minimum opacity.

@@angrymikko thank you, I will give it a try.

One layer is the ultimate hard mode in painting. Layers aren't difficult to use. You can absorb all that information in one hour by just reading that section of the manual of whatever program you're using. Learning to plan and paint the piece is much harder and having tons of layers can slow down that process a lot if you don't already have a clear idea on how having one element on a separate layer will help with the workflow. Whenever I have one of those dead-end moments with a piece I've been working on for a long time. I just flatten down everything because that frees me to make bigger more drastic changes. The guardrails of the layers stop being helpful and become a hinderance when they aren't guiding a pointing towards a planned outcome.

Remember to take it easy. No point stacking on all this at once. Hope you have fun with it 🐻

Thank you for finding these videos :)

We were looking for you all this time! 🐻☝️💕

That depends entirely on what the object is. I wouldn’t personally change the brush or opacity for most translucent materials.

@@angrymikko thanks! I painted a jellyfish in my latest artwork and used a 25% opacity desaturated light blue colour for the base. Do you suggest painting a desaturated version of the background over that specific area?

Thank you :)

I think the fluffiness is the hardest part with the limitations mentioned in this video. One way to fool the eye is optical blending with a textured brush. It needs low value contrast to work but can be very satisfying when those colours are next to each other in soft colour transitions.

I’ve done that a few times in my livestreams but I think that’s a good idea for a short tutorial that people can see how to use that feature to improve their ergonomics.

I have to admit the return to editing was a bit drastic after skiing on lakes for a week. It also felt like coming from the coldest icy winter to the warmest part of spring just by taking the train home.

This was painted with Pastel on Wood. I share my new experimental brushes each month for the channel members. The next one will be up in a few days and that will replace Pastel on Wood brush in the monthly downloads. I might make a ”best of” collection out of these one day if it’s something people want to see.

@@angrymikko oh you definitely should, that would be really awesome!

Like said in the video and the description; this brush is Pastel on Wood.

Whichever tool makes you finish and publish more art is what I’d go with. I have a cintiq I never use if that makes a difference.

This exercise is free and something I have assigned to my students during concept art classes. I'd never be able to give this talk to thousands of people like I have by releasing this video. Right now I'm focusing on creating free content for this channel and also new tutorials each month to my "From Beginner to Advanced"-series that is available for the members who have joined this channel. I'm not doing a live class this spring so that gives me more time to work on both. I might teach a class again later but for online teaching I think videos are a better option due to time-zone differences and they're not as limited as live classes. I've never liked class sizes that are bigger than 20 but if I made something like that then I'm sure most people would dislike the fact that I can't open it up for more people. I'm sure overtime I'll have something for everyone but creating these things takes time. Also I want to keep making free content for this channel a priority.

@@angrymikko Well thanks for the content, and if you plan to make some Udemy, etc course I'll buy it :)

No, all my free time goes into these videos and making my Beginner to Advanced series of lessons for the members of this channel. Without their help I wouldn’t be able to make so many pieces just for youtube videos.

@@angrymikko so sorry if this is a stupid question but does that mean you have videos that we can pay to watch that are tutorials? Or just what I can see . Sorry I’m new to this , but if you have a paid subscription I would definitely pay to see your tutorials your works amazing.

There are channel memberships on youtube now. I started mine in the beginning of this year. At first it was just a few videos but it has grown over time to more stuff like monthly download packs, livestreams and extra palettes. It's still new to me so I'm sure it'll evolve over time as I experiment with what works for it.

The suggestions I have here for how to develop your brush strokes aren’t really all that different from how to start learning digital art. The only way to make learning the fundamentals quicker is to stop giving valuable time to tricks. I’m not going to say it will be fast or easy but if that end goal is something you want then it’s definitely worth it.

@@angrymikko where would you recommend I start? Do you know any good (free) Procreate painting courses? Or similar things like that

If you know how to set colour and opacity of a brush then you already know everything you need to know about the app you are using. Don’t get sidetracked by technical tutorials on software. Focusing on the area of illustration you want to do and fundamentals on composition, colour, line rhythms, mood, brush strokes, storytelling and such are way more important.

@@angrymikko Well I’ll try 😅 thank you for answering my questions!

Nothing wrong with art studio. They’re all pretty similar apps.

@@angrymikko Yeah this pattern and unnatural line smoothing in procreate is 2 reasons i tried ArtStudio, and i dont use Procreate since then, maybe i will use both if i can get rid of the pattern.

Line smoothing can be turned off.

@@angrymikko Yes i know, i want it but more natural, Art Studio have 3 types of smoothing to choose for, thats why i decided to try it.

You don’t need to use procreate if you already have an app you like. Painting is painting, the differences between the apps are so trivial that I don’t feel like it matters at all.

Hey :) Its under the community posts section, a few posts down you can see he released his brush in a post!

Apple Pencil has the added benefit of being pressure + angle detection both of which enable more possibilities than just a finger.

@@angrymikko Thanks

I’m not on that platform myself. Currently focusing on creating content for this channel.

Well I love watching you here as well, thank you for making all this content! I learn so much every time.

I do use photoshop for editing my paintings. If you have watched this video you should know that using either program doesn’t make a single bit of difference to either my workflow nor to the way I paint. If this was done 100% in PS it would have been done in this exact same way. This is also what I meant with the description of this video.

@@angrymikko 😍, how many time did you change your pencil tip? Is that run out quickly? Because i want to buy an ipad and i need some tips or recomendation from you, hehe😊

Haven’t changed it even once. However I have changed my intuos nib during 10 years twice 🤷‍♂️ Btw I did one PS editing livestream for the Angry Mob but I will probably do more when I find out how to display all of the pop-up windows through OBS. I don’t think most viewers on this channel would be interested in me clicking adjustment layers for 2 hrs though... The editing of this one was over 4hrs of just mouse work. 🐁 Might have been great material to cure insomnia tho’ (Any tips guys would be appreciated🌸)

@@angrymikko wah seriously never change it 😵? Thanks a lot for your answer thats so helping me...I hope my question wasn't bothering you at all🤧, thanks angrymikko...

That’s what I’m here for 🐻

Coffee

Whatever method of making art that gets you to publish the maximum amount of art is always the way you should choose for yourself. Having said that, if you want to practice brush strokes sometime I’d recommend leaving the smudge tool and one day you might notice you don’t need it at all.

There are plenty of other channels that are probably better suited for you.

Don’t listen to this fool. His accent is awesome
