Death Knight - Digital Painting/Photobash

Описание: A comment by Krut Paul on my most recent Roller Jousting piece, asking about my workflow, made me realize that it's been a long while since I did a video timelapse that is fantasy themed, so here it is!

Not super happy with the outcome so I might revisit it someday, but here's the process thus far!

Some FAQs & Disclaimer:

1. This is Photoshop 2025, on a desktop, with a Wacom Cintiq Pro 24, any tabletop tablet would work just as great. Canvas size is international paper A4 size @ 300 dpi.
2. I only use Photoshop default brushes for the videos here on youtube, I rarely use specialize brushes, nonetheless you can get the brushes I'm using here: https://www.deviantart.com/johnsontin...
3. I'm a professional concept artist in the gaming industry for the past decade, but I've been drawing digitally for more than 15 years. I've worked on Destiny 2, Valorant, Gears 4 & 5, Halo: Infinite, Call of Duty series, Anthem, Mortal Kombat X, and so on.
4. Currently I don't have mentorships or online classes to offer, I used to teach concept art at an art college but stopped due to work, but that might change later this year as I plan to also get back into the educational field and will start online classes.
5. Photobashing is not recommended for beginners, it's easy to be overwhelmed by it or become reliant on photos to produce artwork. Photobashing is a technique concept artists commonly use to speed up the creation process, it allows us to produce more artworks within a certain amount of time compared to hand-drawing all of it, it still takes a lot from one's visual library and painting fundamentals. It's a fun technique to explore but if you're just starting in digital art I would not recommend focusing on it, foundation matters! For starters, I'd recommend doing more photo studies, material ball studies, figure drawing, etc.
