“Speedpainting” by Levente Peterffy
18. There is missing some lightplay in this piece, so now you need to enhace the light even more. Heres what you can do:
Choose the gradient tool
pick a bright color
create a new layer
make sure the gradient has the setting , foreground to transparent
draw a line in the lightdirection
adjust the gradient by changing opacity
move the gradient around so the effect will be noticable but not to strong
19. 2 parts are involved in this step:
1. I wasn’t happy with the yellow light so i decided to add colder blue light. I did this by using color variations on a duplicated layer of the image on which opacity i toned down.
2. to bring out the pilot and to add more contrast, i marked out his body and i painted with a softedgedbrush around him, opacity was set to very low values. The color used was picked from a closeby area where the light is stronger.
20. you have come pretty far , and in this step you can basically play around with highlights and even adding new objects to enhance composition. You can also correct things , for instance the pilots arm, it looked too odd in the previous image.
21. higlight added to the small spacraft in the back
Thank you! I stumbled accross digital painting a few days ago and have had NO luck finding a base technique tutorial. boy is it hard to decipher technique from a 3 hours of work compressed into a silent 3 minute video. btw I love the peice.
I just got my HP Tm2 about a month ago (the slightly older model, HP updated it ~7 months after it was released, kinda weird they did that) but it is fast, cool, and sleek (people ask me if its the iPad, then I rotate the screen and show them its a full laptop, and tell them what I can do with it. their jaws usually drop) I’ve only used a Wacom Bamboo (for a short time) before I got this, This is like a portable Cinitq, its nice, long battery life too.
I gave some of my friends (who are also wanting to get into digital art) the link to this tutorial, it really is great.
There are some good pics of it (Tm2) here http://blog.laptopmag.com/hp-touchsmart-tm2-hands-on-sleeker-longer-lasting-multitouch-tablet (hope you don’t mind me posting a link)
Hi Ehren! We are glad you liked this tutorial. What tablet PC do you use btw?
Thank you sooo much. I’m just getting into “digital painting” (I have a Tablet PC now, Yay!!!). I’ve tried my hand at speed painting, but now I know some of the tricks (like HOW to paint with light, which other sites talk about, but don’t give examples of)
Thanks again. The finished piece is very cool by the way.
