[stoph]

sorry if this has already been posted, but its worth a watch

[Sepulverture]

More artists should do time lapsed paintings like that! I learned something from watching it! Except I think he went a little overboard with the highlighting just at the end there.

Thanks stoph!

[Bammer]

The face was nice but why oh why did he have to pull that colorize crap and then top it off with a bad photographic background. :lens:

[asoir]

it's a shame that out of hundreds of amazing speedpaints, a decent painting of a guy from lost is the one that gets 600k views...

[Anid Maro]

Agreed Bammer, as soon as he put up the background I stopped watching his painting and kept staring at the background, waiting for him to fix the damned thing.

The colorize didn't bother me so much though, although he probably could have used some stronger colors. They were pretty faint, near the point of non-existence.

My sentiments exactly. There are quite a few AWESOME painting vids on there, but the guy who does Popular stuff from movies is the one who gets on the front page...

[Puck]

I really enjoyed watching the first half of that.

Hey Asoir, can you post links to a few of your favorite speed paint vids?

[wesburt]

eh...

heres a really nice one by snygg http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tRs0cSymOUg

[light]

Just search for our very own digi's videos. His are great with helpful commentary as well.

[Costau D]

:D WOW, he's so fast at that!:D

[stoph]

:D WOW, he's so fast at that!:D

lol.. thats the point :P

[asoir]

wes- im glad you posted mattias's speedpaint, such an underrated artist!

puck- i've got most of them on my computer, but i dug these up:

full video (not a speedpaint per se) of a gnomon dvd, scott robertson vol 5. creating unique enviros- http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=7855858282579189358&q=Gnomon

quick mattias snygg piece- http://youtube.com/watch?v=NBm41Uy87nc

but im afraid the rest is on the computer, theres frazer irving, joel carlo etc.. on imaginefx there should be quite a few (dvd)

[Rabid]

Man I got to get that music...thats good reel shit! ;)

[worxe]

I wouldnt call a 3 hour painting a speedpaint.. ;/

Also the guy had reference & practice before recording, honestly speaking, the front of the skull seems tilted too far right to the orientation of the head and his ear is really far out. The colors I felt were really muted and dull, the background was just a crock of shit and the cherry belongs to an obnoxious white signature.

With regards to the practice bit, he would have drawn/painted locke (http://img.timeinc.net/ew/dynamic/imgs/050913/163653__locke_l.jpg) several times before recording this. Overall a less than mediocre painting and dare I say ripoff.


But im with rabid on the music..

[Blue]

I'd make one, but i draw on a 1600x1200 wide screen, so anything i try makes like a 200gig file. blah.

[dkounios]

ugh...this video is everywhere all of a sudden..its good...but im
kinda gettin sick of it

[vigostar]

that Scott Robertson vid is dope... Technique is awesome makes me want to get some of those videos

[Justin.]

Man, CA should start a channel. Then we all post up vids of our speedpaints on there... give em something to hollar about.

Speaking of whatnot, How do they record that?

[Grumbledook]

I imagine they use some screen capture tool like camtasia

[FlipMcgee]

My time real-time speed drawing of John Lock. 25 seconds. >:D

.

[asoir]

haha, you have to tell us how you got that gif such good quality in such a small file!

[Slash]

I made one too! check it out! :D

Feel free to leave a crit or two in this thread.

1 hour to paint, 6 minutes to watch. Sorry if the choice of music isnt everyone's cup of tea.

//edit: the finished painting:

[stoph]

very dope, slash. you got his googly eyes down very nicely :)

[0kelvin]

Awesome Slash, you kicked the Locke guy's ass. You definitely got the eyes down. His mouth and jaw feel a little off, but it's very recognizably him.

Do more of these! I love watching speedpaints.

[Slash]

Thanks guys! glad you like! i was planning on doing some more of these, should be up soon.

[Justin.]

Post it as a video response... You will probably get so many freakin views that way, maybe you can get on top :D

[Slash]

I'm new to the magic of youtubism, so i couldnt figure out how to do that justin..

My conclusion was that he have disabled video responses. Atleast thats what i'm telling myself so i wont feel like a n00b. :P

[Justin.]

No, you're right.

He probably knew other people would be trying to trump him =P

[willism21]
