In this tutorial I start with background and castle shapes with a rough perspective guide. Then I set up the buildings in the background. Then I just create a silhouette for a character then a horse in the mid ground. Then I use lighting from the top left side of the screen. At this stage, I only focus on big shapes, perspective and composition to get the overall look and feel of the scene first. Using lasso tool and texture brushes can be very useful in making all kind of materials. As long as you know where the lighting and its property or its luminosity then you can just painting in the selected area. Once the big shapes start forming and I will focus on materials on the character. You have to make sure your separate value for foreground, middle and background then you can add the detail to the whole image with the value/color you set up. Then I can go on adding more detail to characters.
I basically paint free hand most of the time in this video. Hopefully this can be really helpful to you all.
This time I have a good idea of what I want to paint. But sometime, I will just let the visual shapes and color guide me as I go.
Again I usually start my image from shapes and build those shape up along with perspective and composition in mind. Then lighting or value.
Tips on speedpainting. Keep it simple first and make your image clear and easy to read or identify.
Things you should focus on primarily.
1) Shapes
2) Value and color setting for foreground, middle, and background.
3) Lighting.
