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.

#22

21: higlight added to the small spacraft in the back

#23

22: these last steps are just playing with the image, we are not setting any new major changes.Added a crane for the ship in the back.

#24

23: when you paint you sometimes notice things you havent earlier in the process, considering there are alot of things to think about when creating an image, and esp on lighplays.

I noticed here the there are some areas kept too dark in the back where the small ship is, so i decided to add more light here, and a warmer kind of light, some vague yellows. This can be done with a gradient tool once again.

24: most important step!! you gotta add an ugly photograph of yourself, for uhm global domination pruposes hehe:twisted:

#26

25: if you want to add more a of a sketchy feeling, you can always use PS´s unsharpen mask. And its finished! behold your work. I painted this between 2-3h.

Hope this small tutorial gave an insight of my process, this is how i paint my speeds.

Wow…incredible insight into how you work. I was guessing it was a totally different method. What really gets me is that you don’t have a clear-ended concept of what the piece will be until you start. Or, at least, from this example. It seems like a process of exploration via scribbles and such. Very cool, indeed.

Many thanks :thumbsup:

Levi, what kind of brushes are you using? What kind of settings? I’d be interested in knowing if you wouldn’t mind.

Thanks,

I know I mentioned in your speedpainting thread that your ability to work with light absolutely stunned me. It is apparent in everything you lay your hand to - and I admire it so much. I did learn quite a bit from this, and I cannot express my gratitude enough – doing little things like this really help those of us who have to teach ourselves along this wonderful journey :slight_smile:

I can’t help but think that my problem with light stems from the fact that I always begin a painting with a very low saturated 50-30% grey. I have never been bold enough really to begin a painting on a saturated color, except for my “princess” image, which is my best one to date! haha!

You forget to mention though, that sketching ability is prominent in a piece like this - and some of us could not duplicate anything like this for all the tea in china.

Anything you can add that might be a tad more aimed for us newer people who might not understand all the mechanics behind the light play would be much appreciated as well. You have such an excellent eye, would love to learn more from you! :slight_smile:
