Concept Art Process - Part 1: Sketching

This video covers the sketching stages of some recent art I made for my personal project. As always, I've shared my thoughts about it, and things I learned on the way.

I hope you like it,

Thanks for coming :D

I am an extremely introverted person. This video made me feel great because I resonate so deeply with everything you said. I feel a little less alone now knowing that out there is someone who understands me at that level. I wish I could find the social energy to try and meet other artists, but my social battery only lasts for like 30mins max. I am very thankful for this video.

You seem like a genuine dude, clicked for the art, stayed for your personality and attitude towards art

Love when artists post stuff like this

[vekkdrums]

sometimes i just play your vids and just listen to you while i draw something totally unrelated. I find your voice calming and the music is great.

Awesome content dude. much success!

Thanks for taking time out of your busy professional schedule to educate us. I'm learning more and more to be fascinated by thought process and design thinking than raw rendering power and end results. So thank you!

i love how you guide me into the mentality that i need to keep when persevering to pursue art. thank you very much.

Really happy how you talked about how you aren't trying to reinvent fantasy, and how much you like grounded and already established fantasy worlds. Been feeling self conscious about my designs and that maybe they weren't creative or innovative enough. Really helped me feel a bit more self-assured with my vision and ideas around fantasy. Thank you! Always excited when you have new videos to watch. You have quickly become one of my favorite youtube artists and just fantasy artist in general.

So glad I found your channel. I can tell it will help my personal art but I'm sure it will help my job as a packaging designer too. Thank you for sharing your experiences!

Excelente video!!!! La humildad y honestidad de tus palabras no solamente te definen como un gran profesional sino también como una gran persona.

Awesome talk and sketches, Grady! Super insiering, thanks so much!!

Wow. You've made some useful observations: like how it's better to generate lots of designs/ideas, rather than get hung-up on how professional and polished your work looks, and also how it's often best to push further toward a more extreme design because others will often like them more than you do. I can see how I could apply these insights to my writing work as well as my drawing. Thanks!
