PROCESS VIDEO // flow, part 3 (Patreon)

Here’s the final part of the process for Flow! You can find part 1 here, and part 2 here. Just like with the previous videos, this one is sped up to twice the original speed, and you can adjust the speed with the gear button.

This process is basically a continuation of the last video, where I’m just rendering and finalizing the image to clean it up and get it to a finished level. I flip the image about 8 minutes in, which is something I’m trying to do more often in my painting process, because it helps me spot some areas that need extra work.

about 30 minutes in, I add some bubbles to the painting. I do this on a separate layer so I can try out different shapes and directions for the bubbles. I want them to add some movement but not totally overwhelm the artwork, so I’m kind of using a trial and error approach. Once I have them drawn in, I add some photo textures of bubbles on top of that, just to get those tiny, finer details right. I feel like using textures as overlays in my art works as long as it’s combined with a hand-drawn element.

Hope you find this video helpful and as always, ask away if you have any questions!
