I am looking forward to not have all my characters standing in the middle of a void! Great video y'all! 😊

You guys are the best resource for animation ‘edutainment’ on YouTube

[AriGrabb]

This is crazy. I honestly woke up this morning thinking "I sure would like to paint a background, but gosh I just dont know how".

[TheBoomamatic]

I think the best quality of these tutorials is how even the nuances of the fundamentals are explained and explored not just a "this is the correct way to do it" vibe.
It makes me excited to learn and to create

[JavaDoodles]

cool video, d00ds! i am learning so much! pls post more, BaM!

[TheMightyPika]

You guys are the first instructors who are able to explain how to use photoshop to make art that makes sense to me. I can't possibly stress how incredible this is. Thank you.

BaM is a gold mine of a channel, I hope people realize how this content is much better than a lot of paid stuff out there, thanks a lot guys.

Strongest how to video out there I’ve seen for basics

[joeyredpanda]

that's a sick background that y'all gave my character!! I really liked how y'all made it look, this was awesome!

[HannABXY]

Ah yes, another aspect of art I seriously need to stop procrastinating on learning and practicing.

[elinevanderlugt]

Wow, this is so helpful. Started artschool this year. And they are teaching us great thing on how to do research an work on process. But at the end of the day we have to figure most basic stuff and fundemental stuff out ourselves. This is really really helpful how to approach a piece practically! Especially for someone who is just starting out digitally

[JerryMeehanJr]

a new video, my day has been made. this was one of the best episodes I've always wanted to know how to color backgrounds without coloring every single thing in lol

[mdxzao]

dude, this is one of the BEST channels heere in youtube when the matter is illustration. I love you guys, I've been studying and perfecting mt work with for YEARS now. I wish we could have more frequency on new videos. I miss youuu

[gluedmonkey]

This is hands down, the BEST video on backgrounds i've ever seen on youtube.

[Caddrel]

I wouldn't have guessed about quickly changing individual shapes with the color picker directly instead of pick and then paint with a brush. Makes a ton of sense why people would do it that way.
And of course the entire video is a treasure trove of knowledge.

[gabrielflores]

It's incredible how everytime i watch a video of you guys, my inspiration to draw and colorize gains new life! Thank you for making such a good quality content!

[mimejorversion]

Is good to hear from experts that drawing backgrounds isn't easy, I feel overwhelmed everytime I start one

[OakTreeIsaac]

You guys are the best. Following your content has helped me a lot with my animated pilot. I now have the confidence to complete my backgrounds in the way I wanted to. Thank you!

I just learnt so much from a single video. POST MORE
