Ling Yun (his newer work), Robh Ruppel, Neil Kampbell Ross. There are a bunch of artists who often do studies in this style as well but they don't usually use it in their regular work.

Erwin Cruz

is there a name for this kind of painting?
does it have to do brush work?

thinking that they gonna make my work realistic

did this guy just do a study of a GTA5 screenshot

All I'm seeing is hacky paint-over shit. Looks fucking stupid.

Not blending gives you superior edge control

>>3023927

yep, and it looks awesome.

No universal name I think but it's quite reminiscent of how many illustrators have used gouache historically.

Pick any brush you like and turn off pressure input for opacity and flow. Some of these pieces use a little bit of opacity in some areas, but you get the general idea.

You can get the same look if you use hard brushes with no opacity.

great stuff

12 minute video from a guy that literally uses a real life hack method to paint, pls no

>>3023963

Is he wrong though? I think he makes some excellent points. There is a tendency for beginners and intermediate painters to overblend.

>>3023969
well i didnt watch the whole video. But ive seen that carder method of his, and i doubt it does anyone good. I guess he can still have other good points tho-

>>3023989

Care to elaborate what's wrong with the carder method?

>>3023989

Looking at his website, I'll give you that his work appears pretty bland, but he seems to teach a decent approach.

>>3023997
it just seems like a very specific method of painting, that wont teach you much outside of that very limited work area. Say you only used that method, and you wanna go outside and do a plein air, you will be fucked. With that said, people can do whatever the fuck they want. I just wouldnt recommend it.

Still, a limited method is better than no method at all. You need some kind of structure to begin with. I wish I was taught this when I attended art school instead of being told to do whatever I feel like doing.

Same. I wish someone had told me this. Rendering too early can screw up your values. If you don't blend you can fully focus on value structure, edges and hues. Even if it you think it looks ugly at first it always looks better in the end.

I was talking about the carder method. Not the things he speaks about in the video. That part seems reasonable enough

A lot of gouache artists paint in chunks like this because the paint does not blend well.

Agree 100%
I took a drawing class at a community college and the prof had us do charcoal drawings with only three values to keep us from losing sight of the overall structure.
This exercise really helped me when I was drawing more complex objects like shoes.
Sometimes people will get so caught up in highlighting and shading every little wrinkle and bump, that their drawing ends up looking flat and boring.
