The custom shapes tool


It's been a month since i started experimenting with a new technique based on custom shapes. i had given it a try last year but i just couldn't figure out how it was going to be THAT useful to a work process already based on custom brushes. it turns out that custom shapes are, in a way, far more versatile than brushes when it comes to organizing your canvas. the "abstract" factor is partly taken out of the workflow. not entirely though, as you can still mess around with insane shapes. but the way you apply shapes is just more connected to the environment you're creating, allowing super fast compositions in no time at all. i'll continue pushing this technique as it is, for now, extremely promising.
here's an environment extract i'm working on, done mainly with custom shapes. also, go visit kekai's blog for his latest, it's based on custom shapes and it's one thousand times worth it.

Oh thank you for sharing these experiences with us, this kind of very square shape is precisely what interests me most in digital ...
I just saw kekai, synthesize like that is really incredible, if you have other references like that ...

interesting, i would like to see how, exactly, you can implement the custom shapes tool like you and kekai did...it doesn't seem to work for me at all.

I'd like to see how you're using this technique too! Would you be able to explain how you use custom shapes in your next post?

Thanks for sharing this, I am having a great time trying to figure this out and see what I can do with this

So you are basically using the custom shape tool to help you arrive at unique composition you might not otherwise achieved to begin with; a composition perhaps a little more thought out, instead of stumbled upon out of abstract shapes?

My interest has been piqued. Thanks for sharing!

I too would love to see a more in depth description of how you do this. Especially the colour application part. As that's what boggles my mind.

Thanks and all the ones of see (via conceptart.org have been super cool).
