Let's start first by the basic way
and only with two black and white tones,
We don't want to put anything gray yet or anything,
Now it's just to find
some good composition
and to find something interesting,
something that above all,
you have to think about construction in silhouette,
something that catches attention and that can be cool,
Then continue it.
So do not worry when adding detail
and let the eye play a little,
let the brain start seeing things here
and there is the interesting thing about this exercise,
well I will start sending forms
and see what can come out everything I'm going to use now
are shapes and the selection tool
and the paint tool,
nothing better to see what I find here
and I'm going to start with a base for the floor,
I'm separating everything by layers and thus less mess,
but well nothing happens because
we will use black and white,
Now it's very easy to separate them,
and if we want to leave it clean after
let's choose this over here
Now I'm going to expand it
selecting the selection tool
and there it is and I paint, there it is
here we have this painted
I'm going to hide it just in case
and I will try to see if I find any other way
Tell me something is with columns can be cool.
or this one, I like it
Perfect this can be very cool,
as I explained before, I transform the image to my liking
something like that now the good thing because with this form for example
It has given me a lot of information, from perspective.
Now I will not be,
very picky about perspective,
I'm not going to do everything by heart,
but then later when it polishes the image,
yes, be much more careful,
but not for now it's more or less have a base,
a basic notion of perspective,
of knowing how it works,
Try to put things in perspective.
I'm going to erase this that I don't like,
let's see that the school is here,
interesting I want to use a column that I had here before
I can make it perfect now,
and I'm going to place it in much the same way,
I'm going to erase here a little,
I put this under this layer I'm going to erase a little,
so you see a little bit of the column here too
and now I paint again and I'm going to put another column,
can I do the same or copy it with control j doubled this layer
and I have the same column now if I can place it
about the same way,
What else can I put?
Let's see what we found out there
for now I'm just taking care of the silhouette,
then later,
Try to get some detail but not much.
Now I just want to see if something works
and of these I want to do many this is the grace,
I will make many compositions of this style,
and then I will stay with some
who thinks he has more chicha,
even this little artifact here,
so I like it too,
then I can erase it a bit but I do like it,
leave this kind of thing because they call me evoke something here
ruin something somewhat interesting so I'm going to remove this
I'm not interested and I'm going to look for more ways to see what we found
This is because it is interesting too.
New layer I climb up I'm going to change a little
perspective I get a little more
of little things around here that break the silhouette a little
so coarse this comes in handy always
It would be cool to put something around here,
something that gives us more perspective, I can paint it, I can use,
I can paint it with a brush for example
or I can use somehow the same,
If I see a way that interests me
I use it, I will see what I find
this one here is ok come on let's try,
New layer, I put it and with rotating and pressing control it transforms
Let's see
Perfect
You see it even if it was a column now then rotate it
It becomes part of the roof of the structure.
I always like to rotate the image here to the right,
I always do this very much throughout the year
because that helps me see if the composition works
in both ways if you do good then like this,
image, image rotation, flip horizontal canvas
What happens is that I have made a small short cut,
that it is easy to do it herself but well if you go here
to image rotation
I flip the horizontal canvas I rotate the image
if you don't have to see that it works well in both ways
Let's see what else I can
Now that I see it a little, it bothers me a little
He is too inclined.
What I'm going to do now I'm going to select
All layers if pulse control,
I can select all the layers that I have,
less that of the ground than that of the ground I want to leave it the same,
and now with T control,
You can also move it like that,
a little more straight was too inclined
as we continue let's look for the ways
let's see what we can put
let's see is the arc if it works,
if I'm going to make the arc shape and with T control,
transformed and pressing the control key
as always he transformed it into perspective.
I like the fact that I will use again,
to put you here in the background control T again,
you see suddenly is that the eye starts to generate
lots of cool images,
You start to see forms there even if there is nothing yet
only one silhouette is how good the brain has
the brain tends to fill gaps
and well it helps us to see things that I see one thing here
that interests me, and you see another one,
This is the grace of the exercise.
I'm going to put here a couple of characters more than anything
for first to have,
to have a little sense of size,
because if you don’t put anything we can rely on
and so expose a rock for example,
You don't know how big the rock is
can be a piece of rock can be
a small pebble and plants
well also but if you put a person, an animal
We already know what size you are going to have,
then we can establish a scale,
a relationship of elements that is why it always comes very well,
put some bird are very cliché,
but it is true that they help a lot about everything
when you want to do things on a large scale,
because if you now put this character like that,
for example it has changed a lot,
Now it seems to be a tiny temple.
If we leave it as it is now the thing that charges much more
magnificence I will try to establish
I think now that more or less,
I have something that interests me.
It's not over, but I want
set the light direction a bit,
right now it's just a silhouette,
so now with white yes I can start
to add some element,
that gave me some information
Where does the light go from?
I'm going to put this here,
and this and let's see.
Ok this helps.
I'm going to erase a little because it's too much over here
and so I am living where the light is going
you see, suddenly it starts to charge volume
and I'm going to do the same thing I'm going to apply the J control
and I'm going to put it here and I'm going to erase quite a bit here
I'm not very interested, I just want to leave a little
look suddenly as you start to see a lot of volume
where there was nothing and basically we are
only playing with two shades of black and white,
Well, we continue to accommodate an interesting way
something is missing here in the background but hey
I want to add this and then later when we add
Another grayscale.
Right now I just want what I was saying,
apply a silhouette that we like
and add a composition that we like,
and then add a little intuit where the light will go
This helps us a lot later,
well I can paint a little too
we are seeing many ways it can be with a white brush,
new layer
and I'm about to paint around here a little to make straight lines
If for example I already have
I'm in free hands that I say freehand,
if you want to make a straight line by pressing the shift key,
you click, do you see it?
and as long as you press, you will continue to make straight lines.
This can be quite useful especially
when you do some architectural form,
It comes very useful as you see I am using a hard brush,
without any texture like this for example
or without any without any gradient like this,
This is done much later,
Right now I just want to use hard painters
because I don't want to add any other details,
This has been very finite.
We are going to put something here a little more black
to expand the size of the east roof,
we can add another column here
that we give more form later.
So something is more or less felt around here,
What else can we put?
The east roof doesn't convince me to be so open,
Well, let's get some other way
let's see if I find something decent around here that helps me
the bad thing that sometimes I don't work in so many ways,
what happens I've left them all
so you have all here
but the truth is that I am telling you,
I prefer to make a selection first
in about 10-15 ways with a maximum
and use only those now that because put many,
because I don't want you all to have later
but make different sets if you want
one with forms of nature another
and you are not going crazy that in the end with four or five ways
you can make many compositions,
this one can serve me
let's put it in perspective too,
I'm going to erase this from here I like it.
I like a lot,
I really like it I mean it is with the concept
Have a good time and then, little by little,
I could do much more complex things,
but I already tell you with this technique,
notice that we take a little time
and we already have something very decent here,
even then you could start by calling the art director
and say hey look how you see it,
How do you see the shape? How is it going?
and I could say hey look well, no, the scale is very large,
Very small or why not change the silhouette because I don't like it.
here we no longer say enough information
like to start a conversation
with the art director, with only 15 minutes,
we already have something very very presentable
to see is not to teach or anything,
but at this moment we could already have,
a little conversation with the art director
and tell him hey look this is what I'm thinking,
you see it works, how do you see the scale?
is that the form is interesting
Did it continue or not? You are here you can already
start seeing enough things
and you can start a conversation
already more direct with the art director,
and it can solve many headaches
that's why sometimes I think the importance of the assembly
It is very valid especially in video games,
because you can start now in a video game production
make yourself a piece, concept in 3d or something very curved
because if you don't like that or you have to change it,
will be thrown away
It is time but above all it is also money for the company.
this in your house
Yes, you can throw in your home as long as you want,
but here you have to know how to economize,
you have to go fast and that's why that technique
that's why I explain to you that it is very easy to make this type of compositions
you get done on a 20th day if you want the next day
you put them with a folder with the art director and comment
and you haven't wasted any time
and you have a lot of material to teach
and that for you for later for future concept,
I will not add a bit of selection here
I will add some light.
One of the things that I also want to tell you,
Look, this is very cool too.
I like it, I love painting with selections,
I always make a selection because it stays the whole line,
you see it, everything stays very, very hard
and I really like when the line stays so,
that everything looks very marked What happens? Sometimes
when I paint with the selection,
I don't like the selection here,
it bothers me a lot then if I press control H,
because I listen to the selection, it did not eliminate it
the selection is still here as you see,
the good thing about this that I can paint,
without having the pain of being there with the national team,
that bothers a lot and if you want to show it again,
with control h, there you have it again.
And another thing to reverse the selection now I paint here,
if you want to paint outside instead of inside,
Well, with shift yi control,
the i key, you see that it has changed,
and now I can paint outside
from the other part of the selection
and if I press again shift control and the i key,
and I paint again inside,
well, this is very useful for painting,
then I use a lot also at the beginning no,
I did not see the grace but when you catch the taste,
It is very interesting.
Well, something like that including some light here too,
Here we can also paint a little more.
if it were a rock or part,
You see it? It's good that you don't paint anything,
you're just marking light and shadow
but the eye does the rest, start filling
and you start there to see a lot of things,
What else can we put here?
A little thicker here we can intuit
here a little the shape of the columns,
as you have seen before in the reference
I have a lot of references and always
I have them on hand, don't be afraid to use references,
I always say that people sometimes too
It seems to be a sin, references are the best there is
is that it will avoid many problems,
they always have light references,
lighting, architecture
and keep them always at hand, what I told you before
so you have to be looking for later,
waste time looking for references.
What I like is when I start painting
is to have everything at hand, it avoids a lot of problems,
Well, let's continue, I guess it's clear to you
where does the light come if you see the white areas you are from here
and here is where the light is affecting,
there is still information on the floor light or anything else,
but good for you to see where the shots go.
If it is clear to us, well, the light would come from here
something like that,
which will surely generate quite long shadows
good is for you to keep in mind,
I think that right now you have to add perspective
Because I am getting pretty complex.
I already think I put more elements,
I want them to be well placed in perspective.
So I will explain how to use Perspective Tools.
