thank u cande! I want people to be interested in these speed paints cause making it was a lot of fun (but also frustrating cause I'm learning to use adobe premiere and it is CONFUSING) and the idea's been in the back of my mind for a while so yeee

Also ikr a lot of people start there's in greyscale (if that's what u mean) yet shading with color is fun lol.   I'm glad her skin and everything look more natural because of it tho! Also just trying to break the habit of starting in greyscale, I heard it's better if u shade in color first or something??? 

thank u, she shiny

No problem! And I think you do them in a very concise and informative way, they were very entertaining to watch on top of interesting
And I'm still using my old bootleg copy of cs6 so I can really say anything on the topic *waits for the internet police to shut down my pc*

I've only done a few greyscale paintings as well, and while one of them turned out okay-ish in my eyes the other was an utter disaster, although that probably has to do with me being such a newbie with the technique haha. I did hear someone talk about how greyscale wasn't ideal when you had a very vibrant color palette in mind, but other than that I'm pretty ignorant on trhe subject! Whatever you're doing though it's doing a beautiful job!

Phew, thats a relief, I know it was kinda choppy in bits  ( I forgot to edit out a few frames here and there of the capture, me going on Tumblr etc.) but as long as the core concept got through heck ya   I'm planning to do more in the future too, so keep a look out!

I got premiere in this cloud package that was on sale for 20 bucks a month for like a trillion adobe programs, so I thought, oh god, I have to use these at some point  like I have the resources I might as well right? 

Aw thank u! Greyscale is like, awesome for learning values and shading for sure. I just heard it's good to know how color shading works, v important, so I started just using colors first instead. In fact one of my fav artists, sara tepes (sarucatepes.deviantart.com ) does a bunch of greyscale! It's just another style I guess ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Hahaha, no problem! And I, maybe strangely, like those bits since it reminds me that there's actually a bunch of time that goes on each portrait, instead of the mere minutes the process is reduced to. But I'm still excited to see more videos from you, speedpaints are always enjoyable to watch!

And that does sound like a great deal... I should search for something like that myself. I just remember seeing one of those programs for a 99 price tag and that scared me enough never to look for them again

I know of Sara Tepes too, her videos are very helpful and she's my favorite artists on yt too!

    yay! Yah know, looking back at your own speedpaint is surprisingly fun too. And hey! if u ever make a speedpaint let me know and I'd absolutely watch it! 

((there's always torrenting too, tho I've never done it *adobe police sirens in the distance*)) 


Sara tepes has helped me sm bless her heart
