2020-9-18 Turning a Sunset Photo into an abstract Painting

[0:00 - 0:09] Hello everyone, it's your boy, Cyraxx, and I'm back today. Today we're doing something a little bit different.
[0:09 - 0:22] Today we're going to be turning this piece right here that I found on Google into an abstract art piece.
[0:22 - 0:34] Which I know it's crazy, you know, it's an abstract art piece, what's so cool about it. You'll see, I'm going to take this image and turn it into something very very cool, very interesting.
[0:34 - 0:40] So with that being said, enough talk, let's get this started.
[0:40 - 1:04] I do apologize about the framerate guys. There's not much I can really do about it.
[1:04 - 1:12] But if you guys are into the channel and you would like to support, hit that like button and that subscribe button down below.
[1:12 - 1:19] As well as that notification bell, that helps too.
[1:19 - 1:48] Now if you guys are wondering what tool I'm using, I'm actually using the Huon digital sketch pad and pen, which I got from Amazon for fairly cheap.
[1:48 - 2:17] As you guys can see, I know I'm getting sporadic with it, but you guys will see where it's going in the long run.
[2:17 - 2:42] Now this piece will be launched in the shop on hoodies and t-shirts and all that good fun stuff here in the near future, which I'm super excited about.
[2:42 - 2:58] Like I said, I do apologize for the lag. I do want to get a new computer so I can do this proper without all the BS.
[2:58 - 3:14] If that makes any sense, hopefully it does.
[3:14 - 3:34] Oh yeah, this is coming together very nicely.
[3:34 - 3:45] And as I said, I do apologize for the lag if there is any.
[3:45 - 4:10] This computer is actually really old and they can do with what I got. One of my goals is actually to buy a brand new computer.
[4:10 - 4:30] Hopefully sometime soon, that'll be very very nice.
[4:30 - 4:44] And to my subscribers, I do apologize for having to start over, but I kind of had to because my other channel got compromised in one of the worst possible ways.
[4:44 - 4:49] So I literally had no choice but to start over.
[4:49 - 5:06] So yeah, it was awful.
[5:06 - 5:18] But good side is I'm back now. I'm back on the ground. And later on, this is actually my first art video in about three years, three or four years.
[5:18 - 5:22] So it's definitely something exciting and very cool.
[5:22 - 5:31] It feels good to be back.
[5:31 - 5:48] You know, I'm kind of blending these colors in to each other to kind of give that really cool effect of, you know, being an actual painting.
[5:48 - 5:57] I know a lot of people think that this is not art, but yeah, it is. It takes a lot of work, as you can tell, to get this right.
[5:57 - 6:11] Because if you don't match everything up in a good way, or if you make even one mistake that you might not want to make, like you literally can be screwing up the entire piece.
[6:11 - 6:17] See, I see doing artwork like writing a song.
[6:17 - 6:20] You can have a good song laid out.
[6:20 - 6:23] You can have good lyrics.
[6:23 - 6:32] But if that instrumental don't fit, that instrumental could either make or break the song.
[6:32 - 6:41] Or how you sing a certain line in a song can make or break that song. The same with art.
[6:41 - 6:55] The same way, the same thing rules apply to art. You make even one small mistake, that one mistake can ruin an entire piece.
[6:55 - 7:11] I couldn't even begin to tell you how many pieces I've done over the years that were truly good pieces, but would just turn out to be total crap.
[7:11 - 7:20] Because of that one tiny mistake that I made.
[7:20 - 7:27] So yes, doing art in any style, in any form, is very tedious.
[7:27 - 7:35] Especially turning a photo like this into an abstract digital painting, it's very tough.
[7:35 - 8:00] It's definitely time consuming, but I definitely would not have it any other way.
[8:00 - 8:05] Like it just feels really good to be back doing what I enjoy, man.
[8:05 - 8:10] I have not done artwork in so long, like this.
[8:10 - 8:20] Like the last art video I did was about four or five years ago.
[8:20 - 8:46] So it definitely feels good to be back doing this.
[8:46 - 8:52] Now I said again, guys, I am sorry for the lag if there is any.
[8:52 - 9:02] But hopefully when I upload this, or by the time this is uploaded, if you're watching this, hopefully that lag is gone.
[9:02 - 9:07] I'm hoping.
[9:07 - 9:30] And if not, I do apologize.
[9:30 - 9:36] I do want to give a huge shout out to one of my best friends, Crypt Kay on his brand new daughter, Luna.
[9:36 - 9:45] Congratulations, bro, man. I'm super happy for you, man.
[9:45 - 9:51] I know it's going to be tough, man. I know you've got a long road ahead of you, bro. Trust me.
[9:51 - 10:07] I know you say you're ready for it now, but just wait, man. Things are going to get tough, man.
[10:07 - 10:15] Like, things are only going to get tougher as she gets older, man. But I can already tell you, man, you're going to be a good father, dude.
[10:15 - 10:36] And I'm proud of you, man, a hundred percent. I'm definitely proud of you, my dude.
[10:36 - 10:44] But, man, this feels good to be back doing this, man, because like I said, it's been so long since I've done stuff like this.
[10:45 - 10:54] Thank you.
[11:21 - 11:32] I'm going to kind of see how I'm blending the lighter into the darker just to kind of give it more to play with.
[11:32 - 11:45] And that's a little tip for you guys. If you want to add more to light or dark to light, definitely do it because it'll definitely give you something to play with.
[11:46 - 11:56] Like, you can play with a lot more of the colors that way as you can see what I'm doing here. I'm literally just playing with the colors and whatnot.
[11:56 - 12:01] So it's definitely a very useful trick for those of you that do do this kind of artwork.
[12:02 - 12:26] Now, for this one, I am going to size up to about a tenth of an inch.
[12:27 - 12:43] Now, for this one, I am going to size up to about I'd say about a twenty. Yeah, twenty-nine seems about right.
[12:43 - 12:47] Yeah, twenty-nine definitely works.
[12:48 - 13:00] Yeah, twenty-nine.
[13:00 - 13:43] Yeah, twenty-five.
[13:43 - 13:45] So, twenty-five.
[13:46 - 15:14] Yeah, twenty-five.
[15:15 - 15:17] I think I can add like one more here in the middle.
[15:17 - 15:32] There we go.
[15:32 - 15:33] Yeah.
[15:33 - 15:55] Kind of darken these up a bit.
[15:56 - 16:01] Yeah, twenty-five.
[16:01 - 16:01] Twenty-five.
[16:01 - 16:21] Yeah, twenty-five.
[16:21 - 16:23] You're right.
[16:24 - 17:22] Yeah, twenty-five.
[17:22 - 17:25] I'm really trying to do this, you know, good.
[17:25 - 17:38] Now, this is gonna be one big-ass brush.
[17:38 - 17:42] Holy shit, yeah, that is big.
[17:42 - 17:46] But right now, that's what we need.
[17:47 - 18:10] [silence]
[18:10 - 18:14] Now, I know what you're thinking, "Dude, why do it that big? You'll see."
[18:15 - 18:38] [silence]
[18:39 - 18:44] Now, you see how that's smoothening out?
[18:44 - 18:55] [silence]
[18:55 - 19:03] Look at that beautiful, beautiful piece.
[19:04 - 19:34] [silence]
[19:35 - 19:46] Let's get rid of this.
[19:47 - 22:26] [silence]
[22:27 - 22:37] And there we go, y'all, this is looking fire.
[22:38 - 22:52] I'm gonna get a little bit up in here and then we are good. There we go.
[22:53 - 23:18] [silence]
[23:19 - 23:29] And there we go, guys. There you have it, the first ever abstract painting with a small city with a sunset, water, looking crazy as hell.
[23:29 - 23:39] I do hope that you guys did enjoy this. If you guys did enjoy this, do not forget to smack that like button, that subscribe button, and that notification bell all down below.
[23:39 - 23:48] Like a boss. And I will see you guys in the next video, man. I'm your boy, Cyrax, and I'll catch you guys later, man. Peace.
[23:48 - 23:53] [silence]
