Tools Used

I use Adobe Photoshop CC for painting and editing my illustrations. Many of my older speedpaints were done in a free digital program called Medibang Paint (which I highly recommend for beginner artists!). I switched to using Photoshop as my main art program in late 2018 to further improve my work. My tablet is the Wacom MobileStudio Pro 13, which I purchased in 2016. I record my screen using OBS and edit all my videos in Adobe Premiere Pro.

FAQ

How long did this take?
It varies! If it’s a five minute long video, then between 3 to 4 hours. If its between 7-10 minutes, it was probably a bigger piece which can take anywhere between 10-15 hours.

Where did you get your brushes?
Most of the brushes you see me use are with from the Kyle Brush packs (mainly the ‘Real Oils’ from the Megapack, available to all Photoshop CC users) or from Andreas Rocha’s brush pack (given out as a Patreon reward).

What canvas size do you draw on?
My canvas size is usually around 3000px on the short side and upwards of 5000px on the long side. With a resolution of around 300 – 350 dpi.

How do I commission you?
I open commissions around 3 times a year and accept in batches of 10-15. For all my prices and info, visit: https://www.clockbirds.com/commissions

  1. i've gotten a couple of these questions for my recent speedpaints, so i thought i should clarify. i always start my process my thumbnailing a few ideas in order to play around with different compositions and colour schemes. these thumbnails are usually small and rough sketches that i make prior to recording the process. once i'm happy with the thumbnail i'll create a new file with the correct resolution to start the main painting in. beginning with a refined sketch to more accurately place details and followed by the blocking in of colours and shapes.

    hope this sorts out any confusion! it's a little different from what i used to do but generally leads to the exploration of better ideas and consequently, better results.

  19. I looove those texture brushes so much. They make everything look like it was painted on an actual canvas. You said you use the brushes from the Kyle brush megapack? I'd love to know the name of the ones you use.

    Also this piece is sooooooo amazing! <3 my commission is coming up soon and I couldn't be more excited

    Really glad to be watching your speedpaints again! I remember them vividly in 2018, and I got so inspired by your medibang speedpaints haha.
    ( I've watched+ you on deviantArt since, but it's really nice to see your speedpaints when you upload now and then!)

  38. Keep up the good work! You are one of my best inspirations for digital paintings, or just sketching in general😀

    Edit: Where do you normally get your ideas? Because sometimes I just roam endlessly on the internet for hours and still find nothing
