  6. This was great, I've gone to school for photography so I have a large understanding of photoshop, but not how to use it to draw really. Now I just need to learn HOW to draw hahaha, it's been years!! But I love your process of how you create artwork.. Simple steps, easy to follow.. wonderful!

  12. I loved your tutorial. My problem is in drawing technique. I am an expert in photoshop but total beginner in drawing. I wonder if you have any tutorials where you break down the abilities of how to draw for the advanced photographer/photo retoucher? I watched the full hour of your video though with great interest. I guess it is easier to learn photoshop than learn how to draw. Please get back to me. I am inspired to try your process. Again, I wish I had some better drawing chops. Would love to hear from you. You can see my photo art at IG @enchanted_camera. Thanks for this video. You are a pleasure to listen to.

  15. I didn't realize that ProCreate on the iPad Pro is so similar to photoshop. I wasted time being afraid to learn Photoshop but after watching your tutorial, I feel like I'm half-way there! Thanks

  16. Thank you very much for this video Aaron, it guided me and reminded me how to color in photoshop.
    great video, clear moderate voice! my English not so good and I appreciate an instuctor voice like yours!!
    Thank you for your generosity to show people how to color artwork. class without having to pay for it.
    Blessings

  26. I'm a 52yr old 'traditional' artist and have just begun my journey into digital art (Huion Kamvas pro 13 + Krita). Aaron you are a true inspiration! This one video has inspired and encouraged me so very much that I'm now loving my new adventure, realising that this digital concept isn't that different to my years of working with more traditional mediums 🙂 Thank you so very much for sharing. Love and hugs xXx

  34. Aaron, I used to draw 50 years ago as a kid. I stumbled upon your YouTube page and got the itch to draw again. So I bought a tablet and followed this tutorial. It was a little difficult because I didn't use Photoshop, so when you pick a brush, set opacity, etc., the instructions didn't always translate to the software I used (Clip Studio Paint). Given that, I think the result was pretty good for my very first digital art piece. No doubt, after I take some time to learn the software, it will become easier. Sir, I want to thank you for giving me the inspiration to start drawing again. The final result can be viewed here: https://www.skyreadyrc.com/art/Walter.jpg.

  38. "Doing a very simple illustration…" Haha, man I wish I could afford a Wacom, because this looks like it would be so much more fun and beats the production value of what you can really do in Illustrator alone.

    I have heard that Corel Draw is actually much more functional and easier to get the results you want in far less steps, but I have yet to actually use it.

  39. PRINTING your image on paper versus ONLINE PUBLISHING your image to view on a monitor is a critical PRE-DECISION in determining how you create your artwork. CMYK has actually a very limited palette of colors available for printing as compared to viewing RGB (monitor) color. Your eye has the largest palette of all to view color. (To view the GAMUT overlap of CMYK and RGB colors, google these in your web browser images). Note that any color outside the range of the smaller "CMYK circle" cannot accurately print at your printshop. That means, some blue, greens, purples, and oranges will NOT print. The color that will print will be at the edge of the CMYK/RGB gamut. ––– So, take that into consideration when creating an image in Photoshop if you have lots of wild, intense colors. They may look great onscreen, but they will never print! You can PREVIEW what colors are "outside the gamut" of printing in Photoshop ––– if you are working in RGB mode by going to the SELECT/COLOR RANGE and then choosing "OUT OF GAMUT" in the drop-down menu at the top. Any color highlighted will NOT print accurately. Another way to view ACCURATE COLOR (for printing) is if you are in RGB mode ––– then go to VIEW/GAMUT WARNING. Any area that is "out of the range of printing/CMYK" will be marked in gray. So, you can make critical color decisions as you are working, perhaps changing the color to a different hue, or understanding that the intense blue or purple you like will not be as "intense/saturated" as it appears on your monitor. It will print duller. And if you want to both PRINT and have a version ONLINE, you may decide to work in RGB mode, and save that version, and then convert the second version to CMYK, and tweak/smooth out the transitions of the out-of-gamut colors. Good video!

  41. How can i double thumbs up this 🙂

    I'm finding that inking in photoshop is harder than illustrator. But the concept and build up is easier… thinking of changing it up to move to illustrator for the inking and then back

  42. Awesome video i would say coz sometimes people dont know how to start drawing digitally and when they go about it they find it so difficult the reason is they cant get things in systemized way without proper guidance same thing happened with me many times but now i am pretty managed with various tools in drawing program thanx sir i really appreciate you for this

  43. His eyes seam to say… um… well, something like "your soul will be mine" or "Don't fall asleep". Maybe try making them less tall, it looks terrifying when done with this much detail.
