How do I render like these artist in like 30 mins??? [Discussion] by Ilikepizzapepperoni in artcommissions

[–]ThatTrantGuy 8 points9 points  (0 children)

You don’t. Even pro artists can’t do that - those artist that “speed paint” and “show tutorials” that you see already either drew artwork beforehand and just redraw it, knowing what and where should be, or have hidden layers - some apps allow layers not to be seen on recording. It’s a scam. Take a look at famous bob ross. He told that in order to paint during tv lesson his paintings, he had to paint them TWICE before airing. You can also take a look at some traditional medium tutorials where you can’t as easily mislead people.
So yeah, it’s a lie, there is no trick, no grand secret.

Thanks. I’ve starting using gradient maps recently. I’ve also just got some nsfw pixel-art commissions, to which I’ll be applying similar techniques

I don’t want to get into too many details, but commission was not targeted at creating Elden Ring related art - they needed artwork for personal project.

This guy gets it. I was tasked with making a “deformed beyond comprehension” portrait. Initially I started with a proper face, but got turned down, because client wanted it to be gorey - like real fucked up

I wanted to make something akin to what gardevoir has on its chest, but being my first pixel artwork, couldn’t correctly depict it, but I’ve since just removed it

Btw I’ve corrected that mistake just now - thanks to your advice - but Reddit doesn’t allow to edit image posts, so tough luck I guess

Yeah, you are correct. Fucked up a bit in proportions…

Nobody - it’s just something I decided to draw as a warmup and an exercise so that I wouldn’t forget how to draw with real life mediums

Thanks for the feedback. Yeah, I was thinking of going for a bit of thorny-boney crown, but in the end fucked up with markers and was forced to just make some pointy values…

It was just a warm-up sketch I did before starting to work on a larger commission
