Following on from yesterday we have another piece by Nico di Mattia. This speed painting features music from Stratovarius and Black Sabbath. It is condensed from around 5 or 6 hours of working in Photoshop with a digital tablet.
IronMan – speedpainting by Nico di Mattia
There are many definitions of what speed paining is but according to Nico di Mattia it is:
On the Internet, Speed Paintings are known as a time-lapse video featuring the construction of an image.
It is primarily a digital art form whereby the image is hand-drawn and rendered using a tablet and graphics editor such as Photoshop or Painter.
Whilst the image is in production, every single action on the computer screen is automatically captured and compiled into a real-time video. That recording, which begins with a blank background and ends with the completed piece, then undergoes an editing process.
The video is accelerated, components are added or removed and it is also given an appropriate soundtrack.
The finished SpeedPainting, which may have taken the artist more than five hours altogether, will usually last little more than three and a half minutes.
