Have you ever looked at a sketch compared to the final result and wondered exactly how the artist did it?
It might look like a superhuman feat of painting prowess, but the truth is, you can achieve the same results in less time than you think.
And that’s what today’s speedpainting video is: a window into your very near future! 🔮
There’s something magical and mysterious about a poison or potion bottle, and painting one is a great challenge to develop your skills, because you need to master lighting and make the glass look like a reflective material instead of flat and opaque. 💡
If that all sounds a bit intimidating, then this video will show you how easy it is!
You’ll learn:
- The most important thing you need to do at the start of any new project — and it’s not drawing your sketch!
- Why achieving the right values during your basic render makes changing colors on the fly super quick and easy (along with how to do it)
- How to use photobashing to save time and add depth and interest to your poison bottle
- How to make your poison bottle glow to make it look magical and otherworldly (in just a few strokes)
