Wake up as an artist and think: "I'm better today than I ever was in my life!"

This is a life-changing advice! Thank you 🙏

[bona]

I respect an artist who gives his knowledge and techniques of digital painting like no others who only show off their works without any tutorials.

I've been waiting for you to create a Youtube channel for yeaaaars!
I'm so happy you are going to post more often! I love your work and wisdom. You helped me a lot when I was starting on this path. I am really hoping to see a lot more from you, Hardy.
Thank you so much for everything you share with us!

You are clearly one of the best motivation speakers I've ever learned from, Hardy. Whenever I feel like I'm getting nowhere with my progress, I go and watch one of your videos and I'm back on track again. Seeing your new content put a big smile on my face. Thanks for being such a great teacher!

The Boss of concept art has Spoken some words of wisdom.

I have watched many of your videos and have taken so much away. Just wanted to thank you for sharing all you have learned for all of us still on the journey. Thank you!

[TiagoCampany]

Hey, man. You explain the process very well. Almost every tutorial about digital painting here on YouTube just throws things at you with almost no reflection or explanations. Thanks for that. Cheers from Brazil.

[HazedShaman]

I love your videos Hardy! I’m in that art house Octo8; I have collected almost all your teaching courses, I’m very happy you left your job to become freelance and focus on teaching. The change is very noticeable, I love your content and I hope to see more and more. I just can’t get enough 👍🏻

Amazing work as always man! Love the skin.

[PhantomDrawing]

Your work is absolutely incredible! I was wondering do you do these paintings with a pen tablet or on a pen display tablet?

I know I may be kinda late to the video. Thank you for sharing some knowledge and concepts that I felt were really helpful not only in art but in just general. I've been struggling to find passion in something and recently I have begun commissioning art to get characters/ideas done for a campaign I'm doing for fun with my friends. I like to go all out in my vision for something and storytelling as it will also be my first time being a DM. I know that all seems like a lot... I bring that up because I have run into a roadblock. I am not made of money and I often have trouble explaining an idea or concept to someone via text to where it doesn't really translate into the finished product as much as I would like. Either I have to let a concept go because it is too complex or I lack the actual ability to articulate what I'm trying to say to the artist where it would make sense.

Its just frustrating as I can see the concept and images so vividly in my mind... So I figured, it can't hurt to start somewhere right? I just browsed through some videos and came across you! It will be slow but I hope to get to where I can make the things I want to display to my ideas to everyone else!

I loved this one so much, gave me an ease of mind that I'm on the right way
And this phrase " until I'm too old to hold a stylus" really hit me hard .. selfnote: don't be lazy with your practice ❤

[rezarahem]

You're so awesome.
Looking forward to see more.
