The Pixiv event just concluded and I was able to take a look at all the submissions, quite a few of which I assume was from you guys! It's a great effort by everyone but because of time constraints we weren't able to go through or give advice for many of them.I figured (and gotten permission) that it would be a good idea to keep this tutorial video archived and available here for Patrons only. For Patrons who didn't participate, this video is just another regular tutorial! For those who had submitted work, feel free to DM me here again with the link to your piece and then I can continue giving the promised feedback!Of course, if this is the first time you're seeing this video, feel free to follow along as well. Thank you again everyone for your support, and I hope to see you next month! :)Get the .psd file + mentioned materials here !

It was a fun challenge to participate in this contest, and I was so lucky my work got featured on the livestream and received your feedback. You're my greatest inspiration. Thank you for your effort, Guweiz!

Cristina

Thanks for sharing! Just curious, can you share some experience working in the industry? You mentioned concept artists are different from illustrator so I was wondering what was your role when working in the industry as an illustrator?

guweiz

Thank you for participating! I hope it was helpful :)

I worked a few different freelance jobs as an illustrator, the basic gist is usually about the same (trading card art, book covers, promotional images) - there's a rough idea of what needs to be done and they hire you to do it - as prettily as possible. So the goal from the get go was always one single (sometimes a couple) of polished images per job. Mostly I had a lot of freedom to decide on the composition, as long as their basic requirements were met (e.g main characters displayed prominently,etc) - especially as clients got bigger. Other than that, it was just drawing as best as you could with whatever skill you've got at the moment. It's also important to be confident as you take on those assignments, if the client picked you based on your authentic portfolio, it means whatever you can do is sufficient for the job. Get it done and worry about improving at your own time (don't lose faith in your own work halfway through a job). That said, I've never done more than a couple of individual (person-person) commissions other than very early on, with the vast majority of my experience being from commercial work, so I can't quite speak to experience in that particular segment of the market.

Does your colouring brush have blending in it like watercolour brushes

guweiz

I've replied to that post!

Beri

apologies if this has alrealy been asked before, but how did you learn to draw environments and everything that surrounds the characters? I would love to draw cities and the outside like you do but when trying to draw everything just seems so overwhelming. Are there any practices you used to learn to draw them?

Epic Megan

Hellow Guweiz! I have a question. (Thanks for the tutorial) Do you remove lines just removing the line layer? or you paint over the lines? Thanks very much!

guweiz

There is no blending, just the same brush used for drawing lines!

guweiz

I think the answer is always to start with references, observe closely, think about what you like about what you see and then try to add elements in carefully and selectively. There isn't a secret but to do it a bit at a time!

guweiz

I just paint over the lines! But do be careful with that - sometimes a line can represent a pretty important area of contrast, so things might look different (in an unwanted way) if you move through them too fast.

Dhashin

Hi Guweiz! Do you have any tips for blending using the hard round brush?

guweiz

Depending if you want to leave a bit of brush stroke textures - if yes, I usually stroke over transition areas a few times on low opacity, and then use smudge to remove the most jarring edges. If not, usually I use airbrush to smooth things over.

Dhashin

Thank you! Will try it out and see how it goes, ive only been trying to brush over the transition areas so that may have been the issue, its usually left with a lot of noise and rough transitions
