It speaks of the simple notion that whether it’s in art or life, we’re all on our own journey. It may seem like a bit of a well-worn idea, but the basic visual concept of a lone character in a dramatic location is a very popular one. Almost immediately, my thoughts were quickly drawn further along the path toward winter, and I decided I wanted to produce something with an icy setting that offered both an imposing sense of scale and of a journey through it. When I was asked to produce this landscape tutorial, summer had just begun to fade into autumn.

Download this week’s free brush set: Jason’s Icy Landscapes Brush Set and create your own seasonal art. We asked him to break down the steps of his process so you can see exactly how he uses these brushes to create rocks, mountains, and icy surfaces in these epic environments. He went at it with a full-on winter scene, and he even shared the brush set he use to create this art so you can create your own snowy scenes in anticipation of winter. I hope there's a bit more vision and a whole lot more useful features to be found in the next version of this landmark program.We asked Jason Heeley to create a tutorial about what he does very well - drawing epic landscapes. Thankfully for us who have come to rely on Sketchbook Pro, the program still delivers the goods and the additional features are a welcome addition. This felt like "going through the motions" and does not take advantage of the programs unique and innate qualities. So if I had to grade Autodesk on this version of SBP what would it be? a whopping C+Īs much as I am glad that SBP is getting a much needed boost, it falls short of expectations and the new features (mainly the FILL tools) lack any kind of groundbreaking functionality. In fact, the old layer interface in SBP 2.o was better. Honestly these features are either here or there for me. (You can still write the layer name in by selecting this view) And to accomodate the layer thumbnail image, the layer opacity slider has been moved. Instead of writing in the name of a layer, it's now typed in via keyboard. The less notable features? In the LAYER window a thumbnail of each layer is now visible. So the way it works is the area to be filled must be closed in by a line.

Unfortunately these new tools won't work in conjunction with either Select or Lasso Select. No more enlarging the paintbrush to fill large portions of art with color. FLOOD FILL / FLOOD FILL VISIBLE LAYERS - a.k.a - a paintbucket tool. Because SBP's compression is different from Photoshop, layers where automatically flattened when you create TIFF files in SBP and import them to Photoshop. This is a very big deal because the old alternative was to work with TIFF files.

SBP even preserves all the original layer information. PHOTOSHOP PSD INTEGRATION- It's now possible to switch from Photoshop to SBP seamlessly and modify PSD files. The following are the two most notable new features:ġ. Okay so what's new? Not a whole lot really. But thank goodness Autodesk decided not to fix something that wasn't broken. ( see Fig 1 and 2 below for the interface comparison) This is a GOOD thing really because had they fooled around with the tool simulation I would have really cried foul, got my cash back and ran back to the loving arms of version 2.0.

I guess I was really looking forward to a much more substantial upgrade that what was released.īasically, the program remains unchanged. are just some of the many suggested new features that can make an already great product more powerful.Īfter downloading and performing trials on Autodesk's attempt at an updated version of SBP, I can safely say that it's been sort of a let down. The ability to work on multiple windows, blend modes, fill or paintbucket feature, special effects, etc. Meanwhile the SBP faithful clamored for so many features to be added to SBP in a hypotethical version 3.0. Rumors of other companies purchasing SBP where rampant and speculation was that Autodesk was simply going to let the program die. In between that time, Alias was acquired by Autodesk and this beloved program was put in limbo with it's future uncertain.

Soon I purchased version 2.0 and over two years, one comic book and numerous sketches and illustrations later, SBP is still a mainstay in my digital process. A true digital drawing platform that delivered realistic tool simulation the likes of which have never been seen. I was astounded when I first demo'd Alias' Sketchbook Pro in 2005 at SIGGRAPH on a Wacom Cintiq.
