Airi Pan 46-47 Speed Painting Part
46 Lesson 8 - Speedpainting Part 1 - Speedpainting - What is Speedpaintin
P46 - 00:02
We are on module eight. My friends, so far in this course. We've done several paintings and we've covered almost everything from black and whites to compositions to color, to painting, to photo bashing, to painting with photos. And now we are here. This is it, guys, the culmination of all these things together.
P46 - 00:34现在把技术都结合在一起。
speed painting. Give yourself a huge pat on the back for making it this far. I'm not even sure how many people will make it this far, but you, you are one of the chosen ones. So you should relish on it. or don't let them know. Because I don't think that many people use Facebook anymore, as I did on Twitter. I don't know how people just announced that stuff anymore. Like ticktock doesn't even really allow that at all. Anyways. Back to the topic at hand. speed painting. What is speed painting exactly?
P46 - 01:07快速绘制什么意思？
Is it concept art? Well, if you Google it, this is what Google would say. Speed painting is an artistic technique where the artist has a limited time to finish the work.
P46 - 01:18谷歌的解释是有限时间完成作品。
The time can vary, usually iteration is attached from several minutes to a few hours. Unlike sketches, speed paintings may be considered finished, after the time limit is up. I don't really know why Google sounds kind of like batman butler, but I guess this is my head cannon.
P46 - 01:37某种程度是对的。
I think that's kind of true. But the real truth is that I know you're gonna totally hate me for this. But we don't have a clear definition. Again, there is no master dictionary that we can refer to.
P46 - 01:48没有明确的定义。
However, I will say this, speed paintings are called that, because they are meant to be fast. You can also find speed painting on YouTube, where people post their time lapses of their paintings and speed them up significantly.
P46 - 02:01加速时间绘制。
However a while. Yes, these are quote, quote speed paintings and. I wouldn't consider them speed paintings from a concept art standpoint.
P46 - 02:10这并不是概念艺术的立场。
These are like a different category of speed painting, because a person could have spent 20 hours on a painting like this and then just sped it up to 16 minutes.
P46 - 02:22节省绘制时间成本。
But the reality of the fact is that they did well spend 20 hours, in my opinion, a speed painting should be limited to around 2 to 3 hours. Some people can consider it faster or slower. And this is why I mentioned that there is no clear definition.
P46 - 02:40概念艺术绘制两三小时。
for turtles. We humans are extremely fast, but to a mclaren sports car, the human is incredibly slow. unless you're a mclaren is driving at zero miles per hour. But why in the world would you buy a car like a Mclaren is not drive it fast. Anyways. It's all relative.
P46 - 02:59麦克拉伦赛车比人和乌龟速度快。
I'd say a speed painting. It should be something that is very fast for your own standards, for example, is completely finished Illustration for me, such as the one that you're seeing appear here can take anywhere between 10 to 40 hours, depending on the level of finish. Then my speed painting should be anything less than three hours.
P46 - 03:20绘制的时间少于三小时。
for you. That number may be different. One thing that Google definitely got right though is that it isn't a sketch or something to be considered unfinished.
P46 - 03:30谷歌时间是草图或者半成品。
The point of a speed painting is that it is finished, but sometimes it has the appearance of a work in progress, where it's not super tight and it's not super rendered.
P46 - 03:39并不是太半成品或渲染。
But that is exactly what makes it so appealing. The unfinished quality of it makes it a speed painting.
P46 - 03:46半成品基础上才是速绘。
But it's not truly unfinished. It is not like a work in progress. This is simply what the speed painting is. So here's a big important question. What is it used for in the industry?
P46 - 04:00速绘在产业中应用是什么？
Well, a multitude of things. It's essentially a very fast painting like noda. So it's perfect for this things like trying to describe a concept or giving the initial mood of a place or doing color keys, or you're mostly worried about the lighting in color and not necessarily the small details.
P46 - 04:17颜色主题和打光，不是具体细节。
Would a speed painting would it not be good for?our solid finish key frames trying to show what the final product could look like in the very end.
P46 - 04:29最终呈现的图什么样的。
It's definitely not an illustration, unless they specifically ask for something loose and sketchy looking.
P46 - 04:35粗略的看个大概。
But it is a great skill to have to paint quickly and be able to bring out the core ideas in as little time as possible.
P46 - 04:43短时间内绘制出思维来。
In fact, I would argue my cinnamon demo, which is a painting that I relatively quickly can be considered a speed painting. For example, if my art director says, hey, I want to explore the possibility of this new environment where our characters are on a lake and I want five different explorations on it.
P46 - 04:59比如让角色在湖边，五个选项。
This is definitely not the time to be painting a finished illustrating key frame for each other possibilities.
P46 - 05:06此时不是五个选项都做到细节化。
Instead, you'll probably want to just do a quick speed painting for each to imply what could happen.
P46 - 05:13做大概的情况看看发生什么。
For me personally. This is also my favorite method of painting. It's just fun. I do speed paintings to relax or to touch up my brushwork or do a master's study. It can be quite relaxing,
P46 - 05:27研究下刷子提升到专业，很放松。
though I also know some people absolutely hated. One thing should be clear though. One can never be good at speed painting. If one is not good at painting,
P46 - 05:36绘画不好，素描也不好。
like at a normal pace, you can't run. If you don't yet know how to walk,
P46 - 05:42不会走，就不会跑步。
and you cannot dance or do ballet, if you don't at least know how to run.
P46 - 05:46不会跑步，更不会舞蹈。
the speed part of speed painting comes from being very efficient and knowledgeable about your normal painting process.
P46 - 05:55理解越深速度越快。
You cannot use it as a place to start your painting process.
P46 - 05:59素描不是你开始训练的起点。
I personally believe that you have to begin slow and slowly ramp up,
P46 - 06:03缓慢稳定的提升。
however that being said, in the world, there are always exceptions, and people will always prove me wrong.
P46 - 06:10总是有人来证明我的论据不足。
This is just my own personal experience and what i've seen and what works best for most people.
P46 - 06:14什么方案更好的服务更多人。
I don't wanna be the person to tell you what you can or can't do.
P46 - 06:17不负责告诉你什么可以什么不能。
So i'll just say this is a very strong encouragement. Think of it this way. A speed painting is like at a 30 percent quality of your normal finished piece.
P46 - 06:28速写是完成百分之三十的草图。
So if you're normal finished piece isn't that fantastic, then your speed painting is only going to be a worse derivative.
P46 - 06:34三分之一效果不好成也不好。
This is why we begin with all of those slower pieces in the start, from the VisDev piece to the photo bashing piece and then to the painting with photo bashing piece.
P46 - 06:45照片拼图加绘制循序渐进。
By now you should be pretty comfortable with the process and can push it to the limit,
P46 - 06:50技术一次次的发挥到极致。
by putting on your red shoes and doing some iconic Sonic speed times.
P46 - 06:56体验超快感。
You, however, are now here at modulate. And you have passed through all the gates and all the lessons that have all prepared you for this moment.
P46 - 07:05光关斩将为这一刻准备的。
Unless you skipped ahead and jumped right into here, but you wouldn't do that, right, anyways, for speed painting, I'm going to demonstrate three different paintings and tackle three different scenarios.
P46 - 07:22三种不同的绘制和绘制场景。
You will soon discover that it's basically everything we've covered so far, except on speed steroids. We're gonna blast through these paintings and we're gonna have fun doing so. because you got all the way here. You deserve it. Your brain deserves it. And your drawing hand also a definitely deserves it. With that. Let's get to work.
47 Lesson 8 - Speedpainting Part 2 - Brushes Galore P47 - 00:01
For my very first painting, I'm going to finally break free of my horizontal shackles and paint a paint, a vertical painting. Oh, my god! This feels incredible! I am finally Free. Just for the first one.
P47 - 00:18开始绘制竖屏版的。
I'm going to stick with my little red riding hood and Cinderella prompt. And honestly I am so sick of seeing these two images by now. I'm going to abandon this prompt right after I finish this piece and you will be able to abandon this prompt as well. Rejoice! My friend deliberation has begun.
P47 - 00:34小红帽和灰姑娘结束了。
So Airi, what are you painting? I have decided to paint a scene where Cinderella is undergoing her dress transformation.
P47 - 00:42灰姑娘的换衣服过程。
If you've ever seen the disney movie, whether it's the old one or the new one, it's the scene where her old rags get turned into this absolutely gorgeous dress.
P47 - 00:52抹布变成了公主服装。
Because I already did a good amount of research into the tang dynasty. I'm going to keep my Cinderella within historical China and show a scene where her dress is getting transformed into a beautiful tang dynasty Han fu in its full glory.
P47 - 01:07转化成汉服。
Now I'm going to show you is probably the most coveted section of class ever, which is brushes?
P47 - 01:15进入到刷子的讲解。
Oh, yeah. For anyone not really in the loop. Digital painting brushes are considered, especially for newer artists, like the holy sword excalibur or a magic wand, that is somehow the key to unlocking a great painting.
P47 - 01:30《亚瑟王的剑》等挑战的是笔刷。
It's a very common question that you'll find people asking in fact, go to any professional artist, social media, scroll through the comments. And I guarantee that you will very soon find a question that asks, what brushes do you use?
P47 - 01:43数字绘画评论区关于刷子问题多。
It’s such a common question that at this point many artists find it rude and are extremely annoyed to be asked this question.
P47 - 01:52有的感觉无礼不愿意回复问题。
In fact, when the art community going around asking for rushes is kind of akin to begging and looked down upon and within the community.
P47 - 02:01问这问题有点不被看起的感觉。
The reason for this is because many artists insist that the brush is not what does the work.
P47 - 02:08并不是刷子解决的问题。
You can effectively use any brush you want to be able to achieve a great painting.
P47 - 02:13任何一把刷子都可以协助你完工。
You could literally create a masterpiece in the MS paint such as this lady. Or you could create a masterpiece in Excel. Like this guy literally made this piece as an Excel. I am not joking. I'm not really sure how he did it either, but I don't think you use any brushes for that.
P47 - 02:31有人甚至不用刷子绘画。
So essentially, the tools aren't supposed to matter as much as the painting itself.
P47 - 02:36绘画技术和刷子关系不大。
However, I would also argue that brushes really do matter to a certain degree.
P47 - 02:41但是刷子某种程度是重要的。
It's kind of like trying to cook soup in a frying pan.
P47 - 02:46在煎锅里做汤。
You're not going to get very far because you're just not using the right equipment.
P47 - 02:52没用对容器走不长路。
So the same thing for brushes. Sometimes to get a specific texture, you do need that specific brush.
P47 - 02:59特殊纹理用特殊的刷子。
The key here though, is that a brush at the end of the day is just a tool.
P47 - 03:02刷子仅仅是个工具。
Even if you have the world's best cooking pot, like over a thousand dollars with an equally expensive Japanese knife. And you're using things like black truffles and you're using sturgeon caviar, if you suck at cooking, then it's not going to taste good, no matter how good that pot or knife is.
P47 - 03:22黑松露鱼子酱最贵的未必做饭好。
The same thing with brushes, it's going to sting a bit. But if you suck at art, no amount of cool or great brushes will ever be able to help you.
P47 - 03:30好刷子不能替代你绘画技能。
That's why I waited all the way until now to go over this. Of course you have access to my brushes from the very start a class, you don't even need to ask. I have provided for you.
P47 - 03:41给你准备了刷子课。
I wouldn't be so cruel as to deprive you of them. But I'm now going to explain them one by one and how I personally use them.
P47 - 03:50一个个解释个人使用心得。
And the reason I waited until now is because you are now here at modulate, you officially don't suck. You went through each and every single one of the lessons. you understand the fundamental concepts and tried a bunch of pieces by yourself.
P47 - 04:05理解概念和进行训练。
And so now you are ready for more minute things, such as brushes.
P47 - 04:11现在了解更细致问题。
But I needed to make sure that you understood the whole picture about how to make an entire painting first, before we start to focus on the nitty-gritty.
P47 - 04:20有全局观后深入细节。
That being said, real quick. I personally believe that brushes are definitely a good tool and some brushes are indeed better than others.
P47 - 04:29也许存在更好的刷子。
But just to be aware, asking someone that you barely know yet for their brushes can be considered quite rude.
P47 - 04:36问刷子的问题多少有点冒犯。
It's like asking a stranger about something personal. Some strangers are happy to share. And some strangers find it very invasive.
P47 - 04:44有的乐意分享，有的感觉冒犯了。
So just be careful and decide for yourself. As always. I don't like to tell people what to do, but anyways, I bet you're at the edge of your seat right now. Drooling over these brushes. So let me hop to it.
P47 - 04:56对刷子垂涎欲滴，马上开始讲述。
So I'm gonna show you some of the most common brushes that I use in pretty much all of my paintings and also what kind of setting that I enjoy or any other quirks that people would just love to know about brushes in general.
P47 - 05:09人们愿意了解的刷子相关问题。
Step one is that typically I like to stick to one hundred percent opacity.
P47 - 05:13百分百不透明度。
I don't really change the flow. I think that some of the brushes have different flows and I simply use whatever they originally had incorporated to them.
P47 - 05:20最原始的笔刷流畅度。
I only changed opacity if it is a really soft brush that I'm using for gently sweeping over things typically like a post effects brush.
P47 - 05:30粉扑后效果才调节不透明度。
But for the simple painting, I really don't touch the opacity.
P47 - 05:34普通绘制不调节不透明度。
I just keep it at one hundred percent. So let me show you my giant list of brushes.
P47 - 05:40展示笔刷的大列表。
First of all, these are the hard round brush is that photoshop gives you. When you first start off.
P47 - 05:45初学者用的硬圆刷。
These are probably some of the brushes that I go to the most. I am not joking, because when it comes to especially things like photo bashing and rendering the soft brushes.
P47 - 05:58照片拼接晕染用的软刷。
So basically, these guys are some of the best things that you can get because they render really nicely, especially for objects where you don't want a lot of texture.
P47 - 06:06尤其是想去掉纹理的时候。
Next, over the years, I have accumulated a whole bunch of brushes like so many. So here are some dry media brushes that were included with photoshop. These are also included with photoshop. I have kylie Webster, zinc brushes. I have this whole giant list of brushes and the question is, do I actually use them? And to be quite honest, no, I don't use like any of these brushes. These I don't even know what to do with these. There are so many of them. When I first started a digital painting, I kind of just started to collect brushes like this greedy dragon that was collecting treasure.
P47 - 06:47贪吃蛇囤货笔刷却用不到。
And I just kept collecting brush after brushing after brush. And I realized that I only use like five brushes. So instead of being sending you every single one of these brushes. What is the point? If I don't even use them myself?
P47 - 07:01如果我自己不用没法教给你们。
Therefore, let me introduce I raised essentials. These are my go to 10 brushes like my holy grail.
P47 - 07:10介绍我常用的十款刷子。
And to be honest, I still only use like five of these most of the time.
P47 - 07:14最常用的五款刷子。
But these are the brushes that are my favorite and the ones I always use for painting. And I will now explain them one by one.
P47 - 07:19一个个的去解释。
The first brush is the Kyle t Webster brushes. So for anyone who has an Adobe subscription, you're able to download kyle's brushes for Free because they're essentially an extension of photoshop that you can unlock with your subscription.
P47 - 07:32免费的kyle刷子。
There’re my go to brushes if I’m doing anything sketching or if I'm doing any line work or calligraphy like items or really anything that requires a very nice line.
P47 - 07:44比如书法需要的优雅线条。
So these two are my pretty much go to line work brushes.
P47 - 07:47两个常用的工作刷子。
the next is the soft brush. So this is essentially the same thing as the photoshop software round brush except this one. As texture. Sometimes I find that having a little bit of tooth in texture is so so nice.
P47 - 08:02圆刷子用于有点颗粒纹理的绘制。
But this brush is a soft round brush here is essentially made of tiny dots that is trying to imitate this soft round brush that photoshop has a default.
P47 - 08:12小点用软圆刷来绘制。
The next brush is still another soft round brush that is essentially the same thing as trying to imitate the photoshop software around except instead of being in a circular motion which is this one is now in a linear motion and it has just a little bit of tooth.
P47 - 08:27圆形运动被线性运动替换。
I find that this brush is fantastic for painting over things and adding just a little bit of texture to things.
P47 - 08:34涂抹或者添加材质时候用。
So these two brushes, i used mainly for painting over big lots of area. So adding tiny bits of tooth,
P47 - 08:44大面积涂抹，梳齿状的刷子。
the next three brushes are essentially my go to brushes for painting.
P47 - 08:49接下来的三个刷子。
Number one is the oil brush. I find that this brush is so convenient for painting just about anything.
P47 - 08:55第一把油刷绘制万物。
You'll see that if you press really hard, you get this slight color distortion within it that I really enjoy. That is known as color dynamics.
P47 - 09:04用力绘制可以得到颜色动态变化。
So if you go to any of your brushes, you can turn on the color dynamics. If you're using photoshop and it will have this little colored digitally included in it. So if you have a brush that you really like and you like this color Jitter, then you can add that color Jitter to your very own rushes.
P47 - 09:21可以把颜色抖动效果加入进去。
The next brush I call it the Minnesota. This is probably my favorite brush of all time. I found this brush randomly in a concept art brush pack somewhere. I don't really remember where, but this is definitely my favorite painting brush.
P47 - 09:34明尼苏达画刷。
I use this to paint basically anything and everything in my entire life. It looks just like the state of Minnesota.
P47 - 09:42外形像是明尼苏达州的形状。
Not exactly, but pretty close. So I call it the Minnesota a brush. And yes, I have named all of these for you so that there are more understandable. Their original names were things like good brush 542 four three. Or something like that. And I didn't understand it whatsoever.
P47 - 09:57生动名字替代数字代码名字。
So you're welcome. I have named everything out for you. The second brush in the oil brush number two,
P47 - 10:02第二个是油刷二号。
that is basically the same thing as the first oil brush, except it's a little bit harder.
P47 - 10:06二号油刷有点硬。
I find that this is great for filling in color.
P47 - 10:10填充色彩时候用刚刚好。
The last three brushes is what I use. If I need to add additional texture.
P47 - 10:15剩下三把用于填充额外纹理时候。
The first one is the harried Minnesota. So this brush is fantastic for adding tooth in texture to things like tree bark. If you want a rock, if you want some concrete,
P47 - 10:27树皮 混凝土 岩石时候用。
I find that this is fantastic. For a general texture brush, I find it works for pretty much anything. The second of these three rushes the hairy brick which is essentially the same thing, except it adds a softer kind of tooth.
P47 - 10:38第二款是软砖刷。
This is great for wooden tables. So things that have texture but are a little bit more uniform.
P47 - 10:44比如木质纹理桌面。
The last one is what I consider to be the texture extravaganza. This is if I want some pops of texture,
P47 - 10:51表面铺张材质刷子。
I find that this works fantastic for anything within nature. And I use it a lot for trees and shrubs and foliage as well.
P47 - 10:59树木 灌木 叶子。
And that's pretty much it, including everything here of Iris essential oils and the photoshop brushes that you get automatically. This is basically my entire arsenal.
P47 - 11:08以上是我全部笔刷兵器库。
I don't even know why I keep the rest of this stuff. If I don't even use it as literally just taking up space. Maybe after this class I will go in and clean some stuff up.
P47 - 11:17我会清理掉我不需要的刷子。
So within the demo that you seem so far from me, I basically only used these ten brushes.
P47 - 11:21我常用的上面十把刷子。
And within the speed painting that you'll see next, I will make sure to call out any specific brushes that I think are fantastic for that specific moment.
P47 - 11:29速写课程我会叫出刷子名字来。
And you will definitely find that they are all these brushes here. So i'll call out like, say, oh, right now I'm using the Minnesota. Oh, right now I'm using the harry bricks, which is very strange to hear out of context. But their brushes. Okay, it's fine. So that out of the way I hope that associates your brush hunger and we're gonna get straight to the painting.
