This is a Master Demo specifically for artists who are working digitally

This is a demonstration by master painter Jim Madsen. It's a detailed glimpse into how exactly Jim creates his amazing illustrations in Photoshop. Will Terry interjects questions as Jim reveals his process and shows how he gets the effects he achieves in his work. This demo takes you from the early stages of the painting through the middle sections and finally the details that really give it a master finish. This is not a step by step class and is geared more towards advanced Photoshop users. Jim moves fast but reveals his techniques which will help any digital painter improve her/his approach.

This video is approximately 90 min of explanation and demonstration. It comes with the black and white value drawing so you can follow along if you choose to.

I was so excited to see a demo from the extremely talented Jim Madsen, who I have followed on IF and blogspot for years! This demo was very informative and provided tips & tricks that I wasn't aware even existed. I always get a kick out of the banter between Will & Jake as well. This was a great class...thanks SVS!

An enjoyable discussion between Will and Jim and really nice to see Jim's workflow, it wasn't quite what I wanted and would have liked to have actually see the painting from start to finish possibly sped up, but nonetheless for the beginner a really good look at another approach to painting.
