Good day everyone and welcome to another speed drawing. You all voted for Peanut so that
is what I’ll be doing but first, a word about today’s sponsor. A lot of you will
remember TourBox from the last speed drawing video I did and well they’ve asked for another
video to promote the new TourBox. And I am personally a big fan of the TourBox so I’m
happy to promote them. They are bringing out the TourBox Elite and I was sent a prototype!
The biggest update is that the TourBox Elite is Wireless, it has dual channel Bluetooth
built in so you can get rid of the C-Type. You still get the cable but you don’t really
need it anymore. So long as your PC has Bluetooth, you’re all set. No more cables.
Also, when you are using one of the adjustment dials, you can now enable advanced haptic
feedback. It’ll give a little click to tell you when you have made an adjustment. See here.
can also now customise the sensitivity of these dials in the console and choose from
3 pre-set options. There’s low, medium and high so you can fine tune it to your preference.
On top of all that there’s been a hardware update as well, a lot of the buttons feel
a lot stronger and of better quality than the original so I can see they’ve had an
upgrade. The middle dial is now also a button. I’ve turned that into my deselect tool.
And the side button now has a very satisfying deep click, it’s hard to explain but I like
it! Just to touch on what I spoke about last time
as well, it’s a brilliant little piece of kit. All these buttons can be customised to
your preference. It comes with some pre-sets but you can you edit those as you need to.
It’s amazing for any kind of image, sound or video editing software and after using
the TourBox for a few months now, I certainly wouldn’t go back. It’s just so convenient.
Honest opinion, I do recommend it. Just remember to get yourself a nice wrist support pad.
If you did like the look of the TourBox ELITE, there is a link below to the Kickstarter where
you can get it for up to 34% off the retail price. The campaign ends in a couple of days
so get in there quick. Thank you for the time and now let’s get
into the video.
Right, so I’ve got my basic outline. Time to add the block colour for Peanut’s body.
Now, I’m starting to break it up a bit. At this point I’m letting the brush that
I am using add texture for me to the body.
I’m now adding some different tones to the edges to start giving the body some structure.
Now I am quickly alternating between the burn and dodge tool to add shadows and highlights.
Adding some noise to give the concrete some grit.
Here I as trying out some rock texture brushes and layering styles but it didn't work out.
Just taking the time now to define the edges
and add some more shading. Now I’m adding some texture to Peanut’s
outline, the guy is made from concrete after all and it’s fair to suggest a few pieces
here and there have been chipped or scuffed over the years.
And the body is now finished. Some last-minute shading on the hands and
onto the face.
I personally prefer a more dripping, messy look for Peanuts face. I like to think of Heath Ledger’s joker face paint. Kind of
how it wasn’t perfect, it was a bit messy, some colours appeared to blend and sort of
trespass into others. So here we have some of the red mixing into
the green and the green dripping down into the red a bit. Also adding in some of the
stone colour so the edges appear a bit faded and worn down.
Peanut’s now done more or less, onto the background. I was gonna cut this out because
I didn’t use it in the end but I thought it might be interesting for you to see the
process anyway and see not everything works out in the end.
Eventually I settled for a nice dark ominous background with some atmospheric smoke.
Keep it simple. Sometimes simple is the most effective.
And there we have it, if you did like this picture of Peanut, you can find it on the
SCP Store. You can get a poster or a t-shirt of him if you like. Let me know what your
thought in the comments, thank you all for watching and I will see you all next time.
