love those painting videos!
Hey /u/Uncomfortable can you do a tutorial series on how to learn/practice digital painting with photoshop?
I've tried before but my stokes get all muddy and confused and I have problem with details. (even tho I'm decent with lineart)

beautiful painting. I thought you would use some construction lines or an under drawing, I was surprised you just started laying down colours. Is that just your preferred method of working or do people generally not do those things?

Lovely painting as always!
A question popped up in me while watching the proces this time however.
How well does line drawing skills, like the ones we do in the exercises, carry over to painting?
I noticed that a lot of professional artists start with shapes and values right away when painting, so is it like a completely different approach?

It is still of considerable value. While I may not be drawing the lines, I can still (sort of) see them in my head. Ultimately line and shape are just means of understanding the forms themselves. When you learn to draw, it's the same - you use one of these approaches with an end goal of understanding the forms. Whether you do it through line or shape is at least somewhat irrelevant. Ultimately I've always found line to be much more approachable, and it works better with pen/ink, which in turn has other benefits towards learning and developing confidence.

Check out Ctrl+Paint, it's got a vast library of videos on painting in photoshop. I'm not sure if I will venture into that territory, since a lot of the material is already there. I may just stick to conceptual things that tend to be overlooked by others. That isn't set in stone though, so you may see more technical videos from me.
