Concept art tutorial witch trial speedpainting. This tutorial shows you how to draw and paint a public execution scene concept art. You need to have some knowledge of perspective and I am using two points perspective in this tutorial.

witch trial

In this tutorial I start with a rough perspective guide using the building corner. First I have to get the background together using light and shadow to set up the two points perspective. Inside the castle there are window and people in the shade. Then I just creat a platform then a podium. Then I use lighting from thetop right side of the screen. At this stage, I only focus on big shapes, perspective and composition to get the overall look and feel of the scene first. Using lasso tool and texture brushes can be very useful in making perspective grids. As long as you know where the vanishing point is then you can just make lasso tool to point it there. Once the big shapes are align with perspective then I can paint characters. You have to make sure your perspective is correct or very close, then you can add the detail to the background and characters as I go on painting.

I basically paint free hand most of the time in this video. Hopefully this can be really helpful to you all.
This time though I have a good idea of what I want to paint. But sometime, I will just let the visual shapes and color guide me as I go.
Again I usually start my image from shapes and build those shape up along with perspective and composition in mind. Then lighting or value.
