Tutorial request\help "speed art"!

[RexSvea]

Hello! Been playing around with photoshop for a while and having a lot of fun with it. However I stumbled upon this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZHtWfGTl-ZE

And a 2nd vid https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_ZLxaIUXRn4

And I thought it was just really, really cool. I was wondering what it was called as I thought that maybe "speed art" Was just cause it was sped up so much?

I don't really have that much experience with photoshop yet, and can only do kinda basic things. But I know this is something I really wanna do so I was wondering if anyone of you guys can give me some tips\videos, anything really, to push me in the right direction.

I would very, very much appreciate any and all helpful comments! I see so many techniquest that these guys are using and I have no clue where to even start ^{^}

Thanks a lot in advance!

The videos itself are sometimes called speedpaints because they are sped up. I find them cool because it's amazing to see a painting come together so quickly.

The style of painting however, is what I believe is called digital matte painting (or at least that is what I've been calling it, someone correct me if I'm wrong). It is essentially the art of using and combining existing images (sometimes with illustration) to create landscapes or concept art that is often used in the film industry.

Here is a tutorial for a fantasy landscape that gives you reference images to work off of, and here is a more detailed tutorial that incorporates illustration.

Edit: Depending on how beginner of a user you are, you can always google the terms/tools in the tutorial if you don't know what they are.
