Thank you for making this series. I'm a beginner concept art student and your process really clicked with me. I feel like learning at school and learning your process is a nice combination of the technical and artistic approaches and both are helping me a lot. Thank you again.
This series really helped me a lot! I never really liked painting landscapes. . It was always hard to figure out why they suck and it's soo hard. I usually do it because I have to. But that shape sketch in part one and gradient maps make a huge difference. Both of these steps give me a foundation either for values, direction or colors. Thanks a lot man!
Hi ! Thank you so much for your videos, they are so helpful ! Your art is a great inspiration for me. Do you think to make a video about the construction of a portfolio ? Because, I work to be a concept artist and do you think it’s better to have more sketches design in the book, or more polished images ? Thank you again Have a nice day !
The video was amazing and very useful, and as a student would be awesome to hear your career advices! I tell myself if my art one day ever hits your level, I would be extremely happy! If you ever think of making a course, let us know, looking forward to see the book!
Thanks :D I will be launching a Patreon hopefully in the near future and there I’ll be able to go much more in-depth and specific as well as share career advice, and help with portfolios etc. I just want to make sure I have the time to offer something of value before I make it official, but we’re getting there!
One of my main issues with backgrounds unlike character design has always been layer management. I always second guess myself if I should add some details or whatnot on the smae layer, or a new one to keep it nondestructive. And at times my foreground, midground and background come out looking like paper cutouts. Then there's also the composition aspect and even though I know it's about telling a story I feel it always fails in that department.
Thanks! I am not terribly proficient with the adjustment tools in procreate yet, but yes I've used the gradient maps in procreate the same way :D The interface is quite different though, so it functions a bit differently than in PS. The other thing is that photoshop allows you to create gradient maps as a layer, which can be turned on/off and there can be multiple. As far as I've found, the gradient map function in Procreate will only allow you to adjust the painted layer directly.
👌👌
The combination of your art, the music and your soft voice explaining what you do inspires me so much. Thanks for the upload!
Thanks! This means a lot, as I have often felt very self conscious of my voice haha Thanks for watching :D

Lo-fi Skyrim!
cool way of colorizing! can it work in similar ways in procreate?
Thanks! I am not terribly proficient with the adjustment tools in procreate yet, but yes I've used the gradient maps in procreate the same way :D The interface is quite different though, so it functions a bit differently than in PS.

ah nice I see. will definitely start playing around with it. thanks for sharing and looking forward to the next one!
