I was looking for this technique but couldnt fine anything! I gave up and quit searching, then all of a sudden this video pops on my feed, Huge thanks brother!
that was amazing. a hidden gem I stumbled upon. I'll look at this video for references for as long as it remains here on youtube. thank you for uploading.
I've watched endless professional training in Photoshop including most of the Lynda series by McClelland, the OG of Photoshop. What is nice with Kirk is the communication style that includes presentation of underlying PRINCIPLES at work in a process, not just some steps to accomplish one outcome. Instantly identifiable as a prospectively higher end training. So I'm subscribing hoping that there are more Photoshop-centric explanatory vids to come. Good luck AK, this should work out well for you.
Thank you for such a kind and encouraging message and the sub - there will certainly be more Photoshop tutorials to come as well as others in supplementary software. Having done similar trainings to yourself over the years I know I have some big footsteps to follow, but I hope to make quality content that digs a little deeper into the 'why' we do things as well as the 'how'.
Thank you so much! I'm glad the explanation was useful - I think there's huge value in understanding why these things work, so it's my goal to continue sharing this type of knowledge.
Woow I'm baffled that the graphics style you're presenting are eerily similar to my last year vision of creating potrait of somebody with this style but the difference is the color and line in upper and the bottom part, right after waking up. Didn't know this were already achieved with similar styling. extra 👍👍👍👍
Thank you so much for your amazing tutorial! I have searched everywhere for this kind of in-depth halftone tutorial for a long time, finally you uploaded! I really appreciate your clear illustration! Looking forward for more of your videos! That was so helpful!
Same - this tutorial only came about because I was searching for one on the subject and it just didn't seem to exist. Turns out that I really enjoyed making it and kind comments like yours really inspire me to keep creating them. In fact, I started work on my next one just this morning, so thank you!
FANTASTIC BREAKDOWN! Thank you this is genuinly very helpful. Not only do you show the tutorial but you describe how it works so that artists have the knowledge to play. Keep up the awesome work man!.
Excellent tutorial! I've been following the halftone tren for a few years and I also do it myself. I was pleasantly surprised to see that I approach the problem in the same way you did! Looking forward for the upcoming tutorials, you're doing a great job.
It's great to hear it was helpful, so thanks for the comment. I've learned lots from CZcams creators over the years - it's a good place to boost professional skills.
For the grid size you can head over to my website www.anthonykirk.co.uk/resources.html and check out my grid calculator. Put in your width and height and it will work out any perfectly square grids for you. A3 doesn't naturally have a good square grid, but if you allow a 10mm border and use dimensions 287 x 410 instead, you will find it can be neatly divided up into a 7 x 10 grid. Alternatively, the ‘rule of thirds’ can be useful, especially if your poster has a photo/image as its main element. This is just scratching the surface of the complex subject of grids, and I recommend checking out the book 'Making and Breaking the Grid' by Timothy Samara for more info. As for the other details, make sure you're using at least 300dpi for a printed poster, check that the point size of your fonts can be viewed from the correct distance (there's lots of great resources for this online if you Google 'point size viewing distances' or similar), and other than that it's just a case of using the graphic design principles as a guide while you get creative. Hope that helps.
Thank you so much for this tutorial mate! ❤️ I love how you explained the process behind of how this effect works, it really helped me understand the thing and inspired me to experiment and create a few ideas. You're amazing and please, please, please keep on making more tutorials; I'm looking forward to learning a lot more from you. Thanks again!
You're very welcome - thanks for your kind words! It's definitely a technique to play with and see what comes out. I'm recording the next tutorial now, so watch this space.
It has been a very informative educational technique. We really need good teachers. ❤️ Please continue to teach us. 🙏 I watched the video many times, if I make good art like you, I will share it with you. 👏🙌
If you only want a standard dot halftone in Photoshop select your image layer, go to Filter > Filter Gallery in the top menu, and drop down 'Sketch' and select 'Halftone Pattern' and change the pattern type to 'Dot' and play with the 'Size' and 'Contrast' sliders. If that isn't to your taste, you can instead go to Image > Mode > Greyscale in the top menu, then again but select Image > Mode > Bitmap. Then under method select 'Halftone Screen' and in the next dialogue box make sure the shape is set to 'round'. If you want a more custom dot halftone, follow the process in this tutorial but add white linework over your black linework before bringing it into Photoshop. The idea is to end up with a series of black squares rather than black lines. For instance, black horizontal lines with white vertical lines above will work. It can generate some amazing results. Hope that helps.
@@AnthonyKirkDesign I would still happily watch a short video on this process. I could never get actual blobs and dots with desirable transitions. Awesome video this is so cool and helpful.
Wow. Your teaching style is amazing, I felt like I received a lot of worthy information and it left me without a single question. I'm amazed, thank you, subscribed.
Amazing style and great explanation! Just a quick addition: For the letterform linework you can use the letter as a mask for the horizontal lines which 1. saves you time cropping the vertical lines and 2. lets the letter stay editable. Still good work for this tutorial, looking forward for more! 👏🙌
I considered using a clipping mask but it leaves some slightly awkward shapes where the clipped lines land between gridlines. This only has a minor effect on the outcome though, so it's a great solution if you want to save time and/or try out different letterforms. Thanks for the addition.
Don't get me wrong, this is a great tutorial but I think I will stick to Filter Forge's "adaptive lines" or "cut line" filters. Also the "adaptive dots" and "adaptive tiles" filters are amazing.
holy crap this was the single greatest youtube tutorial ive ever stumbled upon
Thank you so much!
This is the best and in deep halftone explain with professional quality. Thank you for this wonderful tutorial.

@@AnthonyKirkDesign I have a question, I'm making a poster A3 size. What grid size should I use and how to calculate all of the details ?

This is what I've been looking for. But what i really really want is how to do this with dots.
If you only want a standard dot halftone in Photoshop select your image layer, go to Filter > Filter Gallery in the top menu, and drop down 'Sketch' and select 'Halftone Pattern' and change the pattern type to 'Dot' and play with the 'Size' and 'Contrast' sliders.
If that isn't to your taste, you can instead go to Image > Mode > Greyscale in the top menu, then again but select Image > Mode > Bitmap. Then under method select 'Halftone Screen' and in the next dialogue box make sure the shape is set to 'round'.
If you want a more custom dot halftone, follow the process in this tutorial but add white linework over your black linework before bringing it into Photoshop. The idea is to end up with a series of black squares rather than black lines. For instance, black horizontal lines with white vertical lines above will work. It can generate some amazing results.
Hope that helps.
