cmiVFX – Photoshop Speed Painting for Concept Art and Environements

Jonathan McFall uses speed painting techniques in a set of steps you can easily follow to create similar concept art of your own. There are no photographs used, only paint brushes. The idea behind it is to set down a series of ground rules, which if followed, will allow you to create an amazing painting. After following along with how to create this painting, you’ll be able to apply the same rules and theories yourself. Jonathan will help you with concepts such as compositions, the rule of thirds, the Fibonacci spiral, and several rules to do with color, light, and perspective. Each important step is covered that you’ll need to know so that you’ll be able to achieve something similarly artistic.
