First time trying Adobe Fresco live with Dansky

Heat. Heat. [music] [music] Heat. Heat. [music] Heat. Heat. Heat up here. [music] Oh no. I thought I was going to be out of shot then. [laughter] Hang on. You didn't see nothing. There we go. [laughter] Bloody [clears throat] idiot. Right. What am I doing? Come on, imposter. Get out of here. [laughter] Oh, it's going to be one of those days. Poppy, provide context. We're getting married and I got that because he's going to be like damn 4.0. That's what it's going to look like. That's a terrible explanation. Allow me. Poppy had a party thing the other day with her friends and it's like a bridal thing or something cuz we're getting married and she got a blow up ginger for some reason. I don't know why. It looks like you. It had the ear tunnel thing. It's got the ear tunnels. It's got the beard. Yeah, Ginger. Not quite as good looking, but that's fine. Oh. Oh, hang on. He's got abs. Ah, damn. 4.0. Damn it. He's got me beat there. Got me beat with the abs. Anyway, you go over there. We got serious work to do. All right. Cheers everyone. Happy Friday. All right. I'm absolutely exhausted. So, let's see if we can create some energy. Which headphones do I want to wear? I think the cat has done something to my headphone wire has become like it's kind of weird. And the cat was sat on it earlier on, right? Deb fresco today. This is going to be interesting. Uh, let me know. Hopefully you can hear me, see me, see the screen. You're very dark. I am very dark. Yes. Uh I mean I could light him I could light himself up a little bit. Hang on. Hang on. All right. Too moody. Too moody. All right. Don't you worry. Crank the light up a little bit. There we go. That a bit better. Oh. Oh, actually that [laughter] is way better actually. God damn mate. Call yourself a YouTuber, Dan. That's lighting 101. Goodness, mate. Right. Um, let's get some music on the go. I spent three hours yesterday loing a drawing and trying to open Fresco on my desktop. On my on my desktop Illustrator. I'm not sold yet. On my desktop Illustrator. What does that mean? Fresco is not a desktop app, is it? I think it's only on the iPad. I think. Yeah. And it should sync between Photoshop. So Photoshop and Fresco, you can live sync cloud documents. Um Fresco. Right. Okay. So Adobe Fresco is a painting and drawing app. So it's got a lot of tools that will seem familiar if you've used Photoshop. Um I didn't know until someone from Adobe told me the other day that it's free. I don't know how long it's been free for, but that's that's pretty cool. And something else I was told was that it went uh a UI redesign recently. And I've seen a few people that aren't sold on the UI design, like the new one. Um, but because I think I might have opened it once, like a year ago, and looked at it and gone, "H, cool." I've got no idea what the actual original UI looked like. So, I'm coming in fresh, and to me, this is very intuitive and feels very familiar. So, um, I had a 30 minute play around earlier on. I think I've got a handle on how to use most of it. Like I say, it's pretty intuitive. Um, but we're going to see because some of the brush settings are a bit different to what you've probably seen me do in Photoshop. So, this time rather than use Illustrator and Photoshop and do the whole drawing thing that way, we're going to just draw it all in fresco. And if you enjoy doing this, this is the you can do this exact same thing in Photoshop as well. So, yeah. What made you think of using Fresco? I just really wanted to give it a go. I wanted to it this like you know doing the the Jolon and the Charmander those Pokemon things for me they were like level one that was like me dipping my toe into oh wow yeah digital painting like all that stuff shading lighting um this is like level two now Illustrator no line work we're just going straight in and building it up from scratch. So, there's part of me that's h actually no, I'm not really nervous because I think I can do this. I'm feeling pretty confident, but we'll see. We'll see what happens. Yeah, pretty much. Ka, it's I think it's kind of their answer to that. So, but it feels more familiar to Photoshop. It feels very familiar to Photoshop. And there's a couple of things that I think set this apart. One of them is I don't know what it's called actually. I'm looking at it here. It's this. I'll touch it there. Pose. There you go. So, you can like It's almost like an advanced version of puppet warp in Photoshop. You can bend and pose things. And I've got no idea how it works, but over here there's a motion thing as well. So, you can add motion, but that's level 20. I'm not there yet. Yeah, kind of a little bit. Yeah, the UI and all this stuff, you know, like you can probably see at the top here, um, you know, you got brushes, eraser tool, smudge tool, selection tool, you got your, uh, lasso, magic wand. These are all tools that are in Photoshop. So, if you can use Photoshop and you can just take a minute to get used to the UI here. So, you know, you click on this and you've got your flow. This is your smoothing brush settings down here. So, it's very, very similar, but everything's just in a different place. Layers obviously behave a bit differently. Properties. Yeah. So, once you get your head around where layers, properties, and your brush settings are, it's it's not too bad. Never heard of it. Yeah, I know. [laughter] I'd love to know how many people um have either not heard of it or didn't even realize it was free. You can create simple animations. Yeah, you can do this. Thank you, Andrea. I I think so. I'm going to do a Bulbasaur today because I feel like that's not too complicated and I should be able to do it. So, we're [clears throat] going to dive in. And if anyone does want to have a go, then go grab your iPad, go and download Fresco and uh go crazy. Right. We need some music. Got whiskey. Very nice. Um, oh, what do I want to listen to? What do I want to listen to? Feel like I want to listen to some cello music. Does anyone play the cello? I've been thinking of learning it randomly. And I would love some advice from anyone who plays the cello. Okay. Right. Off we go. So, I've got my Bulbasaur trace in here. This is just um a JPEG off the internet with a blending mode. So, I'm going to I'm not going to do the line work like I did in Illustrator. First of all, actually, I need my picture. I've got a reference image up. There we go. So, I guess if we're skipping the line work and we're going to go straight to blocking and color. That's the first thing, right? So, let's go and grab I think I might be quite slow at first, but I'm sure I'll get a bit faster. Uh, where's my default brushes? Hang on. It's not a good start, is it? Basic. Yes, that's what I want. We don't need no fancy brushes for this. Um, let's go grab hard round and color picker up here. So, I'm kind of looking at the screen. So, Bulbasaur is sort of this kind of color. Oh, that's no good. Uh, why is that so low? Ah, layer opacity. Ah, right. I forgot to make a new layer. Goodness me, Dan. Yeah, I Another reason why I want to do this as well is I think by the end of the stream I'll be whizzing around this. It's just very very new. There we go. Well done. Uh it's a bit too saturated. [ __ ] I'm used to using I've got my hand on the MacBook Pro. Come on down. We're not using that. There we go. So that's the main body color. And then he's got his little seed pod thing, which is like a lighter green. That's probably a bit too light, isn't it? I got to keep my hand off the laptop. Right. And then we're going to Can we eye drop at all? That. There we go. So, we're going to go and grab a couple darker shades. Go. Another one darker. This is going to be useful for the shadows. It's just going to give me a little bit more to play around with. And highlights as well. Slide the hue a tiny bit. There we go. And then we got the green. So, I'm just sampling all these colors up front because I know I'm going to use them. And then we got his his tongue. That's a pink. Very nice. There we go. And we got his eyes. They're a bit more kind of reddish. Bit like that. And then we're going to have to shade his eyes and his tongue. So, let's let's grab a dark one there. And that along with white should be enough for now. So, selection tools in the middle. We're going to just squish that down. And what we're doing, we're going to uh lock these layers. So, lock the layer. So, everything's now locked. Then we can create a new layer. How do I move? There we go. Click and hold. Right. Got the brush. So, we want the hard brush. No spacing. It should look like this. No, I need to move the laptop out the way. I've got this habit of moving my hands to it. Okay. And we want smoothing as well. So, I could crank the smoothing up. This is going to help get everything nice and smooth because we've got no Illustrator today. So, I'm going to go for that main this color, the body color, I think. Maybe a bit bit smaller. Yeah, a lot of this I think we want to just do it in one go. Oh, let's turn my screen recorder on as well. Yeah. So, all of this is the same color. So, for now, let's just brush over this. There's a little leg back there as well. Let's try that again. There we go. If anyone's got any questions about Fresco as we go through this, just give me a shout and uh I will try and answer. There is a 56% chance that I don't have the answer. This is one bit that's quite hard is getting the line work nice and smooth. I think if you can get it in one go first of first of all like this. You see there I just did it in one motion. You're going to get it naturally a bit smoother. So like around here my hand is slip me sticking on the tablet which is a bit annoying. There we go. So we're just going to try and get the line work really smooth. And what else we got? We got a little bit there as well. We should do that. And then we've got his little seedy thing. Now I got to do all this on separate layers which will be useful for clipping masks in a bit. Uh this one here. And we're going to go start up here and go all the way down. It's awful. Let's just color that one in. And then move that layer underneath. There we go. It's a great start. And what else have we got? In fact, you know what I should be doing? Really? I should move the trace to the top. This is going to help me really refine this. So, let's make sure I get all this in the right place. Just getting used to the main thing with a pen display is you can see where your cursor is, but with this you can't. I'm such a perfectionist as well with like getting all the lines smooth that because I can't see the cursor. sort of using it blind a little bit more cuz in Photoshop you can see how big the brush is. Maybe I need to try and stop being such a perfectionist. It's very difficult when you're so used to a tool set that gives you like perfectly clean lines. Okay, then what do we got next? We're going to do the Well, first of all, new layer. Get the eyes in. Oh, sorry. I missed my my chat wasn't scrolling down then. I didn't realize everyone was everyone was talking. Do you think we could have a series where we try and create the same design on the worst possible app? Why would we do that? Unless you want to um it's good if you want to learn an app. You force yourself to use it. Download it straight away. Oh, nice. K. Oh, okay. Rael. Oh, hope she feels better. Hey Carrie, you got to get close to your pen display. Yeah, it my hand is like sticking to the the screen. I've not got Have you got Did you get one of those artist gloves with yours, Carrie? I got one with mine. I just never really use them. I could never Oops. I can never really get to grips with because you have to stick your like these two fingers into like the sleeve, right? But then it makes me I don't like my fing fingers being like enclosed like that. I like my hand my fingers and everything to be free. It's like I just couldn't wear it. I was like it just makes me want to my fingers want to escape out of it. But it's good for this sort of situation because then they don't stick to the damn the damn screen. Uh I don't know actually. This is a whiskey that my friend Liam got me. I don't actually I can't remember the name of it. It was one that I've never had nor heard of before. And we took it out of the bottle and it's in like a big big decanter, so I don't actually know which one it was. Yeah, I love how you can do this. This is It's nice being able to just do this sort of, you know, two fingers and rotate the screen. It's really cool. Honestly, if you're using Photoshop already, you're going to find a lot of this very familiar. And the thing as well, actually, is that a lot of the skills that I'm using now and the techniques and things, they are very transferable. So, if you do photo manipulation, a lot of these things do translate about doing shadows, highlights, all that sort of stuff. The hell is that? Why is that a different color? Is it got some sort of Hang on. Let's sample the original. There we go. Can't go wrong. And now it's not drawing anything. What have I done? Oh, of course. layer on top. It's very similar, but it just takes a little bit of getting used to. Right now, we're going to add a new layer. We're going to sample red color for the eyes. But this one, we're going to click this icon here on the right. I don't know if you can really see me tapping that. Hopefully, you could see me tapping it on the right hand side. That's the clipping mask shortcut. So, it's like right there, front and center, which is really good. So, now I can just freely draw this and it's not going to go outside of the lines, which is amazing. Let's have another crack at that first one. This is cool as well actually because you could start sketching out an idea for something on Fresco, then cloud sync it to Photoshop and then do your photo manipulation or whatever there. Right now we've got need another layer. We're going to do his feet. So, nice small brush, his little claws. Another Another one like this. Yeah, doing it in one stroke is much easier to get like a smooth start and end point. Maybe it's just practice. Maybe I'll get used to it. And we got one just sticking out there. I see you cheeky little toenail. Oh yeah, being able to see the cursor on a pen display is really really makes a difference. And then we're going to go another new layer. We're going to grab that pink. We got to do his mouth now. So, what we're going to do start from here. That was awful. Let's try that again. It's the shading bit I'm looking forward to. Yeah, I'd have to see how you find this care. Oh, something worth mentioning as well is obviously I'm I'm using the basic solid brushes, but they've got like amazing realworld paint simulation brushes um like uh I think it's watercolor like gash all that stuff and the paint behaves in like a realist istic way and it feels wet and it like blends together. It's insane. I remember seeing it a years ago when they first announced it and it was like what the hell? And that was years ago. Yeah, it was insane back then. So, you know, I don't know. I'm sure there's other apps and things as well, I think this one's like amazing for digital painting. Right now, I'm going do another layer. And we've got those like bits on his body, whatever they are. So, grab this green here. Let's quickly smash these in. Yeah. I wonder if I can just uh It sort of does, but then it leaves a bit of a halo around the edge. To be perfectly honest as well, I actually just I quite like manually brushing a lot of stuff. It's just quite nice to to do. Ah, this is going to be a clipping mask now. So, I can then just do this. [snorts] one up here. There's a tiny delay with the smoothing as well. So, if you do crank the smoothing up, it does have like a little bit of a little bit of input delay, but it's a good trade-off to get this level of smoothness with no skill. Just going to have to let go of some of that perfection, I think. Right. What else are we missing? Ginger. Let's try and at least get this as close as we can. Yeah, your post is going Monday. Nice. Oh yeah, man. 100%. You got to show us. Right. There's one part of this it's going to be really hard. And this is the the gaps and the lines and the creases, but let's not worry about that now. Right. I think it's looking pretty good. I could spend all day obsessing over getting the curves perfect, but I think that's just a waste of time. All right, let's give him some eyes. No, I'm being attacked. I'm like, what's she doing, Carrie? What's she doing? Okay. Uh, we got his teeth as well. He's got some little teeth in there. Oops. Not that big, but [snorts] quite little. Right, I think that's it for that. Now we have to hide the layer and the hard bit starts. Right. And I'm working from a 2D cartoon here as well. So So, these bits here, I think I'm going to have to merge them or group them. And then I can make a new layer and clip that. Yeah, there we go. So, when I do my shadows and highlights, it's going to go over all of the main body stuff. Let's try the dark one first. This might be a bit too dark, but we'll see. So, now we got to switch the brush to something big. Zero hardness. I found that I don't muck around with the flow too much because you can sort of shade a bit softer at least. Oh, hang on. I've got to know. Choose the right brush. Uh this one. This one here. There you go. So, you see a nice nice slow build up or just press really hard. So, it's a bit different to Photoshop where you've got to like actually adjust the flow quite a lot. So for this one, I should Should be able to just build this up. This bit here. Oh, yeah. His face is going to be quite hard, I think. There we go. So that's like the mouth. And then this goes down there. And we got that bit going across there. Yeah, a lot of it's figuring out the right brush settings as well. It's all on the same layer, too. So, if I muck something up I'm going to cut into the shading I've already done. Let's just try and very carefully go around here. There we go. That soft brush is going to make rubbing things out a bit easier. Right. What else we got? Guys here. Well, we're getting there sort of. It's a bit messy down here, but At least we can use the eraser tool to dial it back and then have another crack at it. And even this is actually like just to dish out a little bit of self-praise doing this all on one layer, all the shading. So normally I'm in Photoshop and I can just make multiple layers. You can do that here, but I seem to have just been just going for it, which is a lot harder. And then we're going to have some shadowing in between the feet claw paw things. How many is it now? Andrew, how much have you had? We got the eye as well. Yes, it's these details. This is what I find really hard. It's how to in this sort of 3D style. Yes. the more linear details in a style that's not really linear. So like eyebrow creases, mouth creases, that sort of stuff. In fact, let's do that on a separate layer. because this is the sort of thing I'm gonna have to refine. So, a little little one there and one over here. Yeah, these ones up here as well. And then for the tongue, we're going to sample darker Let's go a bit darker into the corners. Is that two glasses or is it two bottles? Right, let's have a go at this seed thing on his back because there's three kind of parts to that. So, let's put in the lines first. So, at least I know where each one is. So it's kind of no come something like that. It's drawn a bit better. Let's try again. And then this one. Okay. Why am I finding this so hard? There we go. We'll go with that. Right. So, we got some lines in there at least. Then we'll go a bit bigger. We'll just start shading this in I've put these lines in a little bit too hard. If I try and raise them now, it's going to go over everything. Let's do a new layer for the shading. There we go. Bring them down a bit. And then we can get the shading around Well, that's not too bad actually. I was being a bit critical there, but that's that's okay. I think I just have to accept it's not going to be as tight as what I can do in Illustrator and Photoshop. But that's not what I'm practicing here. I just have to try and not make that comparison. This is practicing just I guess I don't know brush skill just using more, I don't know, traditionally artistic tools rather than relying on something like Illustrator to give me that advantage, which is good. Let's go practice. Yeah, it's like this bit here as well for the lip. So, I'm going to have to go across the top here. And then this should be like a highlight. So, we're going to go and grab this one See if I can get this looking decent. Yeah, not too bad this one. Yeah, definitely makes things easier when it on separate layers. So then we can maybe go over some of that. Not really done any highlights yet either. Let's go and throw some highlights in because that will instantly make things look really cool. It's not too bad. I got I got start cut myself some slack. It's really not that bad. And it Christ, if I could do this, anyone could do this. Like what I'm doing here is not technically difficult. What is I was typing out the fresco export to Illustrator setting the top right. Oh, sorry. Right. So fresco connects to Illustrator as well as Photoshop. Oh, thank you. Yeah. See, I didn't even know that. That's interesting. I've tried it with Photoshop and you can go backwards and forwards, which is amazing. Um, right. Where's my feet layer? Feet. Where's the Where's the damn feet? There. There we are. Right. We'll just shade these now. So, we'll just go for like a dark color like this. Getting the right brush sizes is tricky as well. That makes a big difference. and you can see when I muck the shading up, you just do it. You just go back and do it again. So, I'm just trying to brush in these nails, claws, whatever they are, one at a time. Everything looks very flat until you add shading around the entire outside edge. This is like a photo manipulation thing you can make such a massive difference. So, I'm just going around the outer edge uh make it look more threedimensional. Shading in this half here. So, this is where the shadow is. This is where the light is. So, I'm just going and go around this side a bit more. And then you can see it leaves that little highlight right there. And it just gives the whole thing like a bit of depth. But That's pretty quick as well. It's amazing how much of a difference it makes. The feet look a bit strange that I've I've copied the trace for the most part. They look a bit odd. We might have to come back to that. So, more shadows. Yeah, let's add a new layer. I'm trying not to add too many layers because I can't see the names. So I can really easily confuse myself. But yeah, this does need more shadows. So like around here, it's even darker. I need um anyone's got any tips? Some of the obviously the brushing is very scrappy and inconsistent in terms of its opacity in places. Is there like a blur tool or a blend or something I can use just to this bit in particular around here? It's all a bit [snorts] smooshy. All right, let's jump to Oh dear. Missed a few bits bits here. It's very scrappy. Let's do his teeth. Ah, you can change. That's so good. Look, change his expression. God, he looks even cheekier. Like he's just done something naughty. Yeah, we'll do his teeth now. Oh, nice care. I cannot wait to see what you make with Or even just actually how you find it as well. I think that's the real thing is to see how someone who is an actual artist finds it like that translation from uh or is it real to digital? That would be interesting. Oh, burger. Where's his eye gone? His eyes. Um. Ah. There we go. Um, okay. This going to be a bit tricky. So, I'm going to have to shade around all of the eyes, including the whites. Yeah, that's too right. Highlights on his little green bulb thing. What's this one? Oh, cheers. Cheers, dude. Nice colorful Pokemon. Depends if you want a hard Pokemon or a You can have a go at this care. Something that doesn't have fur is a good good easier starting That's why I chose this. I think some of the simplest ones to do any of this digital stuff is probably going to be like a Voltob electrode or a a Jigglypuff. A Jigglypuff would be a pretty straightforward one. But yeah, we probably avoid fur. anything with like fire on its tail like a Charmander. Unless you can paint fur, but I started with the Charmander and then once I'd done the Charmander, it was like, "Oh, okay. That turned out all right. Let's try Majolion." And it sort of kind of went from there really. Sort of build my confidence up. Can't remember what's on what layer You know, I've totally forgotten what layers are what now. So, I'm just going to have to just go for it, I think. Oh, you can paint for that. Oh, yeah. I think you'll find this infinitely easier than me. Which folk are you? Oh my god. Got to link that in the Discord. Yeah. The biggest thing with this um technique, KO, is only two things really. Make your layer and paint your solid base color in, then add a new layer, clip it with a clipping mask to that layer below, and then paint your shadows on one, the highlights on another. And then when you're brushing in your shadows and highlights, because it because it's clipped to that base layer, it never goes out of the lines or whatever. Yeah, that's what I've been trying to do. This bit here that I just did. Whatever comes out is what I'm going to make. Well, I think it's that's good then because as well you've got a personal tie to it. So, if it is something that's tricky and quite hard, you could say, "Well, that's the Pokemon I am, so just got to go for it." That would be your motivation to push through. Little tongue highlight there. Yeah, this needs some more shading for sure around here. I think the mouth on my Jolton looked really bad till I did a second pass and then I managed to make it look way better. So, we can add layer masks as well. How do I do that? Um, so I got a folder here. How do I add a layer mask? Oh, can you not add a layer mask on a folder? Ah, you can double click to go in it. That's cool. So, we'll add an empty mask. I think you can swipe. Yeah, there you go. And you don't use black and white in this. You just choose whether you want to hide or reveal. So hide, reveal, which means you haven't got to muck around changing colors to black and white, which is nice. Just going to make some of this make sense. You really do have to remember what is on what layer. Just cleaning that up. I'm offended by this outcome. I want to see what Pokémon I am. Okay, hang on. There's a link [laughter] if anyone wants to find out. Okay. Yeah. Okay. Question two. How do you handle a big problem? What's your biggest strength? Yeah. Staying calm under pressure 100%. If you were a Pokémon move, what would you be? Oh my goodness. These questions are very random. I've got my Pokemon. You got Pikachu. Hey, Psyduck. Guess what I got. I wonder I wonder how many Pokemon are in the in the quiz. I wonder if it's got all of them. Poppy, guess what Pokemon I got? Psyduck. No. Okay, I got Psyduck. Andrea got Pikachu. Um, Charmander. Yeah, I got Charmander. I become a dragon. What? It's a thing in the chat. You have You have to answer 10 questions and it tells you what your Pokemon is. Okay, let's see. Wait, Psyduck. Yeah. Yeah, we'll do it later. Psyduck. Um, we'll do it on mommy's computer. Psyduck. Not that difficult to draw, I don't think, as well. Right. So, I think this is looking all right. Not entirely sure what my expectations were to be honest with you, but and this is this is a lot harder. If I was doing this in Photoshop, I would definitely find this a bit easier. But if I can do this now in fresco then Photoshop will be a dotle a dole. We need some shadows some feet shadows. So grab black. We're going to do this. Uh not like that. just got I think once you figure out the right brush settings as well. It's just switching between a few different settings. Yeah, that's not the right brush, is it? Dan spacing hardness [snorts] bigger. There we go. That feels weird. Where's the brush? Should be softer than that. Um. Ah. Oops. I knocked around with the spacing. Yeah, there we go. hard hard brush you want your spacing all the way down, but for a soft brush a little bit higher, I think. So, I'm just going to try and rough in where the shadows would even go. That's the first first part. Yeah. So the light is coming from this direction. I just I just decided that at some point that looks obviously completely jiggly. Of course you are. Of course you're a jiggly. Why? Why is my Oh, flip sake. I'm changing the wrong setting. Of course you're a Jigglypuff. That's creepy. Please never do that again. So [snorts] that's we'll do that as first pass on the shadow. We'll do a new layer. Then we got to do like the contact shadows of where Monsu Basaur actually connects to the ground. So these are going to be bit harder, bit more pronounced and sort of a lot closer to where he connects to the floor. Wonder if you can um blur. Don't know if she's got like blur effects or anything. Yeah, that's all right. It's not too shabby, son. And if it is too pronounced, it's pretty easy. What you can do is then just grab the layer and just dial it back a little bit. And then we'll grab the other one. And dial that back. That's not bad for improvised shadows, I think. I think people What other things have you got in here? [laughter] I wonder I'm just going to see. I'm going to have a look, okay? Cuz I want to see if there's I'm using really basic brushes. Where's all the crazy crazy live brushes? This is the stuff I was on about. Yeah. Oil and watercolor. Yeah, look at that. Um, then what was the other one? Oil. So, let's try oil paint short. So, like a nice red. But then watch this. If I go and mix it with a yellow, see the way the colors mix. [laughter] It's just insane. That is so cool. And it's free. [laughter] It's just nuts. Maybe I should have painted the whole thing with oils. Yeah. I mean, some of these some of these they are insane. They are really cool. [clears throat] Looked at all this stuff. Oh, yeah. These are some of my brushes I got in my library. What's this one? Who Leo got Squirtle. He's definitely a Squirtle. I don't know why I said that like an insult. Take that. Yeah, it's amazing. Live brushes there. Yeah, you've got pixel brushes, which is what I've been using. That's like your standard Photoshop ones. Live brushes, which are the insane ones. Vector brushes as well, so you can do vector stuff if you want. And then these are my brush libraries that I've got installed. These epic ones, by the way, if you if you pause it and search for them, they're free Adobe brush libraries and they got some wicked textures and stuff. I think it's I think it's looking all right. Um, obviously there million things I could fix about it, but cons all things considered, I think it's turned out okay. Maybe that's Oh crap. What have I done? Hang on. Back to my back to my basic brush. Where are you? We will get back to doing some design stuff soon as well. I know the last few weeks we've been uh doing the art lots of artsy fartsy stuff, which is great, but I'm sure um some people want a bit of design as well. Oh yeah, part part of the challenge here is just finding the right brush. What if I do drop flow? Does that help? Oh, that does help actually. It's just like a bit more extreme than on uh Photoshop. Yeah, that definitely makes some of those details come up a bit more. Yeah, it's all right. There's a lot of uh smudginess going on around this this area here. Some of the shadowing actually seems too harsh. So, what I could actually do is probably go around and dial some of that back, which would fix some of those issues. Bring you down a little bit. And maybe just bring this one to a pinch as well, so it's not too shadowy. And this one, it just makes everything less shadow heavy. The mouth looks a bit strange as well. And let's go for this hard brush. I'm going to take that and we will drop it down a bit. It's just like the photoation stuff. It's just like lots of rebalancing and tweaking Finding the right brush size is quite tricky. Yeah. Not sure that uh we'll be able to help you with that, friend. 1:00 a.m. My goodness. Right. What are we doing? What are we doing? Let's do a little bit more just on the bottom there. Cuz if you're going to have like shadows on the bottom, then you have to have the part that is in contact with the floor or the surface a bit darker as Otherwise, the shadows just look looks weird. There's a disconnect. So, just that little bit there just makes a big difference connecting the thing to the floor. The only thing I'm not loving is the eyes. And I feel like it's weird because they're red and white. It's very odd for eyes, might be able to splash in like a bit of a little bit of that highlight, little glint. Right. And if we then Where's me pallet? Let's turn turn that off. I think ultimately that is the finished Bulbasaur on iPad. Oh, which is uh all right for two hours. I'll take that. Oh, thank you, Andrea. Yeah, it turned out all right. It turned out all right. It's good good practice. I think normally I would probably stick to my normal process, Illustrator and Photoshop, but it's the kind of thing that with an iPad you can take it on the go. You can go anywhere and you can start things in Photoshop and then I could pick it up on the sofa, do some more work on it, use all the crazy tools in Fresco and then go back on the computer later on. So it just that gets me up and out of the chair and the desk and I can just sometimes sit on the sofa with some headphones. Next time on canvas. Oh goodness. What real canvas? There's no there's no edit undo. No control s to save your file. Couldn't imagine doing that. Oh my goodness. I'm so Right. Any questions before we wrap up? Cuz I'm going to go to bed soon. Flipping knackered. No, you're not. Oh, no. I think I am, Puffs. I'm so tired. I know. It's like not even late. Really? No. No. I probably got another hour in me. Solid hour. Oh, this is Oh, this is cool. Watching the process. I'm just skimming through the screen recording. Yeah, that'll be Yeah, it's all right. It's okay. I like He looks kind of tired. What? Me or the Bulbasaur? I'm absolutely hammered. Hammered. Hanging. I'm not hammered. I'm definitely not hammered, but I am hanging. Um, you might say I've been burning the candle at both ends, Andrea. Just not um getting as much sleep. Me? Yeah, my bubble sword looks fine. But it's good. I've been like really productive, just exhausted. Although I got to go shooting yesterday, which was fun, and shot my rifle in like two months. So that was amazing to just go out to the range in this massive open field. And uh put some lead down range. Yeah, it's flipping brilliant. Oh, it's the honestly it's the most relaxing thing in the world going out into just the middle of nowhere into a field where I where I shoot at a club and you just get get to have a cup of tea or coffee metal targets. Just best thing in the world. No, Psyduck is actually really good. Psyduck comes across like a bit of a buffoon and like has a few like water abilities, but then when he learns like psychic stuff, Psyduck is actually really good and he evolves into Gold Duck. And so he starts off with water and then when he learns psychic stuff, um he's a force to be reckoned with. I mean, it could have been worse. You could have got a magic upp, you know. So, h right, I'm going to go. Thank you very much for joining this uh random late night stream. I hope you enjoyed it. And uh yeah, I'm sure I'll see you in the Discord in like five minutes. Oh my goodness. Where did that two hours go? I have absolutely no idea. Ciao.
