another tool we can use to sketch , caricatures is painting digital painting , as you'vie seen throughout this course , there are lots of method sand tools you , can use to sketch your caricatures , pencils markers brush pens charcoal are , all great to use when doing thumbnails , or rough sketches hope you'vie been , experimenting with all of them along the , way because you may find some tools work , better than others for you and your , artistic sensibilities well there'sine , tool we haven't yet looked at digital , painting previously I'vie used digital , painting programs cockerel and , Photo shop to create digital line , drawings but haven't yet shown you how , I use these programs to create sketched , paintings done with shape sand values , rather than with lines even though it's , painting with shapes still consider it , a sketch and not a painting because it's , done quickly in roughly in monochromatic , ale artists throughout history like , Rubens and Fragonard were known to have , done quick oil painted sketches in , preparation for larger paintings but in , this lesson we'll be paint sketching for , the purpose of creating an original , caricature exaggeration and instead of , building the thumbnail sketch with lines , we'll be using big brush to block out , the shapes the process for this , demonstration I'll be painting with a , stylus on my Vaccinating W HD using , Adobe Photo shop W which is my , preferred app for most of my painting , and illustration work and now some , technical details you don'tend a fancy , custom brush to do good digital , paintings here are the qualities that , make a good basic digital paint brush , the brush shape should be round it Haas , hard edge , and the pen pressure is linked to brush , opacity but not brush size you can use , any painting program you like of course , just make sure that the brush you use , has similar properties in Photo shop W , the brush I'musing today is called the , hard round pressure opacity brush in the , premium version of this lesson on , Provo.Como go over the specific , settings so you can make this brush , yourself if you don't have this version , of Photocopy effect were after here , is similar to a filbert or a flat style , brush used for acrylic and oil painting , your brush strokes should look something , like this , now let's do a digital paint sketch of , actress gal Godot get started like , to fill the canvas with a middle gray , value middle gray background helps you , judge your flesh tones more accurately , if you start on a white canvas it tends , to influence your eye to paint , everything on the face to lighten value , in reality flesh tones even Caucasian , flesh are very far from white so with a , really large brush start blocking in , the biggest shapes first after the basic , head shape is there I separate the , shadow areas from the lit areas avoid , details for as long as possible and just , focus on the biggest shapes using the , biggest brush that I can get away with , this is a critical moment in the process , because I'establishing the head shape , which will determine the likeness in , exaggeration however it's really easy to , change it along the way , erasing and reshaping the head is no , problem when painting digitally spend , most of my time on paintings working in , the middle value range that's where the , bulk of my labor is going to be and then , I work my way towards the darkest dark's , and lightest highlights most of the , faces in the light so the values are , within a really narrow range on the , light side of the face when painting or , sketching in realistic manner it's , important to decide where the borders of , the shadows are , and those shadow boarders have a , specific shape and design to them you , also have to study the reference photo , to figure out if that border is a hard , or soft edge usually the edges of the , cast shadows like under the nose and , under the chin will have a sharp edge , and form shadows like those on the side , of the face will have a softer edge , understanding how to use edge sis a , major part of being a realistic , draftsman or painter pay attention to , your edges good trick for finding soft , and hard edge sis to squint and blur , your eyes with the reference photo the , soft edge swill appear softer but hard , edges tend to stay hard when paint , sketching digitally like this the , thumbnail concept evolves naturally into , the rough sketch as I spend more time on , it and if I'morally confident about the , sketch I can continue refining it into a , finished painting and even add color to , it however Usually take these types of , painted sketches no farther than the , rough sketch stage , I'll stop while it's still rough in , appearance and then do an abstraction , over this to find error sin the , structure before moving on to a final , drawing or colored painting digital , sketch painting is fun and is great for , exploring shapes but just warning when , you don'thieve a line drawing to follow , it can sometimes lead to sloppy , construction and facial symmetry so , watch out for that problem you don't , want to pour too much time into it if , this painted sketch has fundamental , drawing errors if you want to caricature , at a high level you always need to stop , examine and correct your work before , moving on , check out lesson 4 of this course to , find out how to use the abstraction to , refine a sketch like this assignment so , if you're following along at home use , your favorite digital painting program , to make some black and white painted , sketches I professorship but some , other great programs are Co rel Painter , clip studio pain tor even apps on the , iPad like procreate Ottawa Sui , sketches if you use an iPad though make , sure you use it with the Apple pencil , not your finger because you really need , to have pressure , sensitivity to work effectively most of , the painted sketches I demonstrate here , and in the premium videos were done , between to minutes remember you're , not supposed to do a finished rendering , these are only rough sketch paintings , it's okay for them to have an unfinished , look critiques if you'd like to maybe , get some critiques of your painted , caricature sketches post them on the , Provo caricature group at Provo.com ,
