This is great stuff man, I wish I can bang out such beautiful artwork with PS + my intous 4. This reminds me of the stuff on sketche theatre, with the timelapse and music. Sketche theatre is a great place to. I owe much of my insperation and drive from the people here at cg cookie, and Alex Alverez’s stuff with Gnomon.

Thanks for the supports, guys!

yup, theres a zillion way to approach any piece. I would encourage you guys to discover your inner craziness, grasp it by the horn and don’t let go!

With that being said, whatever you saw on the video, or anything that catches your eyes, try to mimic and dissect it, afterward once you understand it a little bit more, find ways to implement it into your own unique style.

Every style/approach is a block of Lego, find ways to use it to your best of advantage will make you stronger!

keep rolling, guys!

Cheers, and remember to leave any suggestions you have on either here, or to the support team, feed backs will always help us plan better( Especially me, i go way too random at things!)

I’d love to see the video at normal speed!

This video has actually inspired me. I love watching the way and style that different artists draw and paint things.

It would be amazing to see you make more timelapses or even Tutorials! Just seeing the way you use photoshop excites me.

Thanks Jabe, i am glad you enjoyed it.

The learning process for the style itself certainly is not easy to understand, you gotta break a few bones to overcome to craziness that splashes at you.

With the above in mind, the process can be quick, or can have many pauses to think about what you perceive in the shapes.

As regarding the lighthouse environment- no i did not had any blue’s clues regarding what environment it would be during the first half to a hour into the piece(though certain environment was something i was leaning toward for this piece). Textures and shapes stagnate upon one another another, and recognizable compositions and shapes starts to show it self as you gently tap its shoulders along the way.

Thanks for the suggestion Jabessette, CgCookie has been very welcoming, i am sure i’ll be making more time-lapse vids to show you guys.

Feel free to post any suggestions on topics your interested, I’ll be sure to keep those in mind.

This was fun to watch. One of my favorite parts of 2D is trying to see things in the shapes. I think a good alternate name for an artist is “shape wrangler.” Pui is one hell of a wrangler! I think it might be interesting to see a timelapse and then maybe like 5 minutes of the process in real time – that way you get a sense of how long/short of time the artist actually is thinking. I think people see something like this and get the false idea that it is easy then get discouraged when they try themselves and fail! I am also curious if Pui started with the idea of a lighthouse or just went with what he saw.
