How to Render (Quickly) In PhotoshopA couple weeks ago I posted a sketch rendering of a PC Box on sketch-a-day.com. Luckily, I had recorded video of the sketching and rendering process and finally got around to laying in some audio and talking about the process. I’ll warn you though, It’s a little quick – okay it’s alot quick – and I may have glossed over a few things as I tend to do when I work digitally, but feel free to watch it a few times if you’re lost or email me questions [at] idsketching [dot] com.
I’m using Adobe Photoshop CS4 and a Wacom Intuos 3 in the demo.
See the finished render after the break…
Awesome video spencer! thanks…
Thanks!
I study a lot on this website, but as a Chinese its a pity that i cant see the videos form vimeo(the government has baned it for some reasons…)
I really want to see these videos from which i can learn more. Could i get them from the other way?
thanks a lot
I’m not sure how I could get them to you. Do you have any ideas?
Really cool design! I’ve always wanted to create my own pc case, and I think it is a good reference
That was awesome, you the man:), thanks
Nice video spencer! I can see you still improve despite your already good at it. Do you also see/feel the differences in sketching?
I don’t know what you’re referring to . . .

The files are too big – some even 1GB, and we don’t give out the source files. I’m sorry about the difficulty, but I try to do other step by step tutorials as well that should be visible.
always thanks^_^
Hello, your work i great, can you tell me what brush are you using for rendering, or where I can download brush tools like yours, thanks alot !
I’m using a simple hard round brush. Nothing special. I may however do a post on brushes in photoshop.
Tutorial about brushes is great idea !!
thanks for reply
what about email? i am sorry
Hi Elixir,
Try using anchor free’s “hotspot shield” that might allow you to watch the videos on vimeo.com, because it would be a shame to miss out on Spencer’s videos.
Very cool Spencer. Thanks for sharing.
Just sketching in general. Do you see or feel improvement in your sketching? Cause your sketching everyday.
Oh definitely. Part of the reason I started sketch-a-day was to sharpen up my skills again after not having sketched every day.
Hi Spencer,
This is Samir from karachi Pakistan i watched your above tutorial i should say its awesome, outstanding, fantastic i am using these words not even for the above tutorial i saw your entire tutorials which you have posted time to time on your website. i am crazy about your all technique which helps me a lot.

Awesome tutorial! I was just wondering is there an easy way to create curves using the same method as you did at the start using the brush tool and shift, (I’m using a mouse so it’s harder than a tablet)
because the pen tool only creates a new path, which then you can fill but it’s not as effective added to the fact that you get gaps developing around the image.
Thanks.
Thanks for this cool article , it is a extremely interesting read! What I like the most of your site is the simplicity of it, it is just stunning! I also got a site in the genre of design, it is not as good as yours but maybe you can drop by some time? It is mainly about Blogger/Logo Design , maybe you already know my site but I do not think so. Last but not least, ones again thanks about this cool article and keep up the good work!
Cool tutorial and really great PC case. Wish it would really exist though
Great site by the way.

Spencer,
I am off in my own little secluded world of design and illustration and I rarely ever crawl out to see what and how other people do things. After watching the video, I am very pleased to see I am not very far off the mark and I was anticipating many of your next moves during the video. We share a ton of the same methods and your terminology is great.
You know your tools well and great website. This is one of the few places I can learn something.
Big compliment as I have an ego (probably unwarranted) bigger than a sewer cap.
Thanks for what you do,
Rich
Hey, Spencer,
You have such an awesome, efficient way of working. I’m a graphic design newbie, but the one area in which I’m pretty experienced is vectoring. Since I see you do a lot with the selection tool, is there a way to turn a vectored path or shape into a selection? Maybe it’s superfluous, since I suppose I could just make a new layer and clip mask it, but I’m just wondering if there’s a way to be more efficient like you.
On a separate note, how much should I charge for my first render drawing commission? Any ideas?
Thanks!
