Description
45mins, psCSdon't usually post speedpaints singularly, but i hope this is of use to someone, made a walkthrough to show thought processes, how i block in etc, basic speedpaint, had an idea what i was going to paint beforehand but it went in a different direction after 5mins or so, turned into old photo look (had planned on a scifi street, cars etc) no real foreplanning, just straight in with the organic approach, have much more fun doing it this way, rather than laying down perspective grids and such, moodshot is more fun
7mb AVI file, winrar'ed up, xvid codec needed - [link]
hope it's of use, otherwise, i'm just killing my bandwidth haha
edit: 03/09/05 - it's back up again (avi), albeit temporarily, but i'll leave it up as long as i can

wow, I love this even as a picture in and of itself. Thank you for taking time to show your technique to the rest of us.

Did you use any references at all? Or have you painted something similar before perhaps?
To be able to paint some of the specific detials I imagine you either painted that type of stuff many times, or had references at some point. Like viewed some photos before hand or something.
Really good though. I have been trying to fill my brain up with information so I can draw and painter better from my mind. I would like to see a video of you painting a day time scene with buildings or something in the background.

Nope, it pretty much appeared 'on the fly', knew I was going to do a street scene, but thats as much as I had before I started, I very rarely use ref apart from quick studies and family portraits, 99% of my gallery is straight imagination, I've built up knowledge of surfaces and lighting and studied to get to a point where I can get my ideas out without needing any outside influences as it makes a big difference in what I do, being able to paint from a quick brief, quickly, I observe a lot, but I'm nowhere near where I want to be yet
Been meaning to make more vids, lack of time etc

That is awsome, I hope to one day be able to paint just about anything I can imagine with no references, but I am not there yet. Do you recall what books you used to study perspective. That is my biggest weakness.

to be honest, I'm pretty weak there too, tend to eye it in, organic approach, rather than go the technical route too often, learned what little I do know online, just google perspective tutorials, I found this more help than a tutorial though - [link]

Looked at several works from you and when I saw this one.. don't know. I just think you made it awesome, the atmosphere is very sensable to me

you really have an amazing sense of light- seems almost ethereal in this piece. truly fantastic work.

SHIT! It's not a shot!!! I didn't zoom in... you're crazy man!!!

Loved seeing the demo of you painting. Do you always start with a monochromatic pallette to keep youself focused on the composition and lighting? Or was it just a choice for this particular piece?

This is a lovely image... I was going to download the rar (I think a tutorial from you would be fantastic) but it's not there anymore.
