Those little paintings made me wanna quit drawing forever and also made me wanna do it every day

You actually make putting all the theory into practice easy, that’s exactly where I struggle, I have pretty much memorized all the basics but knowing how to do it and actually doing, ugh 😑 two different things

You have to have blood and gore and sadness in your paintings, obviously.

I'm 19 years old and really focussing on studying and learning the right habits when it comes to digital painting/traditional painting or drawing. Your videos are helping me a lot with understanding how to improve and how it's done. You're my hero :)

[shishenliart]

This is what I've been looking for when I started to seriously try and improve my art almost 10 years ago.

Simple and concise, but still loaded with important information.

Thanks for sharing your knowledge!

I'm doing some studies on value to make my own value tutorial and this is far and away the best I have seen so far. This is great for people of all skill levels, I really enjoyed how you start with the basics and build from there! Thankyou for sharing with us!

[joshuapetersen]

This helps a lot...this is one of the clearest explanations on how to paint digital in a way that makes it look traditional!!!

This is probably the best video I've seen in regards to learning and practicing value THANK YOU

Shape - Value - Color - Edges
Long ago the four fundamentals lived together in harmony.
Then, everything changed when the rendermonkeys attacked.

Crazy how these videos are better than any art education I've received in public schools / college... and they're free.

Your videos are really awesome and helpful, especially since i am just starting out (4 months in). Thus it is really appreciated. And even though i don't want to use digital until i am at least somewhat proficient at traditional art (probably will take around 5-8 years) i find tutorials like these incredibly helpful as well. This really taught me a lot about how you see, and use different values to your advantage. Now, knowing all this, the practice part is of course still the more important one.
However making this step of discovering how you actually practice proficiently - e.g. learning how to learn and study correctly - is extremely important.

So, thanks once again, and have a nice day :)

Not to go overboard, but I think your videos along with a couple of others just explained to me what a year of art school might within less than a week.

[nikkiew_]

This was really helpful, I need to get better with values so that I can get better with color after that.

3 years later and still sick! Tyvm pal

[duraley_v_tumane]

for some reason i'm kinda scared of digital. it frustrates me and the results are turning out not how i intended. maybe you have some advice for how to overcome that dumb barrier? and thank you so much for your videos, everything is clear and simple. you inspire me, james!!

[omargallardoarc]

Hi man. I did watch more than 100 videos about drawing. 40 of them are decent, and two are very good. One of that two, it is your video. Thank you for share it, I really apreciate it

[LOGOASSASSIN]

Thanks for this it's really helpful. Two questions... I've been pondering the pros and cons of either working like this with a basic sketch to fill in shapes or focus a lot on the line work and include that in the final result, eg Boris Vallejo and many others where you see lots of dark line work. As a beginner I need fewer variables so maybe the first option you demonstrate is the better one for me right now. My other question is the pros and cons of layers. Mask and layers make it more controllable but also more complex. One layer is close to traditional paint but is less forgiving.

[animatormark]

Great video! I really liked the way you breakdown the value scale and the examples you used.

[Dane_Riazer]

I know this is one of your old video, but this is still good! Thank you for sharing.
