I would like to try this screenshot approach like u do, because it´s fun to paint something like stills from a favourite movie imo because it makes it more motivational while still learning something from it. So, my question is, do u have any tips for a beginner like me?
Any method works, its just which one you prefer
do you paint with no transperancy, just 100% hard brush and no airbrush or changing the opacity, flow?
Also i noticed you worked zoomed out, in a small size too, which canvas sizes would u recommend for doing these types of movie studies?
and lastly, I´ve found that it´s easier to work from shadow to light for me, that is, painting just the light and not in the shadow part of a subject. I start out with the silhouette, and then, building on from there, i paint the light i see.
Do you think i´m on the right track with this method of mine?
Sorry for all the questions lol but thank you so much for replying
Sizes arent the matter unless you're making a print. Otherwise, 1k width is enough for you to paint these kind of studies
Like I said earlier, there's no right or wrong really, if the end result is good, any method works. Painting from dark to light for me is much more fun because its just like lighting up a scene by turning on the switch! Some people paint from light to dark too, so just keep experimenting, both method benefits if you know how to use it. How do you know which method works best? simple, through practice
