This is my Guild Wars 2-inspired fantasy character concept.
This is my tree speed painting from today.
This is my tree speed painting from today. I have a few different approaches for speed paintings. For this one I started out by first creating an upright rectangular brush which I used in the background. I then sketched out the tree with a regular round brush. Before adding the color I first created two layers underneath the line art. First layer is for highlights, set to overlay. Second layer is for shadows, set to soft light. With opacity and flow set to low I painted in the highlights and shadows in these two layers. I then made another layer underneath all of those for my colors. I paint with my opacity and flow set to around 60% to get a more "painted" feel. When the color is added I use the burn/dodge tools to further bring out shadows and highlights where needed. Sometimes I also use a blending layer to bring all the colors together. For this one, the blending layer was brown and gives a slightly burned look to the tree and brings out certain colors really well like reds/oranges/yellows.
Way cool Dima, I am very impressed. Thanks for sharing your work flow, which is great so we can learn and add to each others techniques.
