I like how James instructs from what sounds like his very own experience and not reading from a book. I watched some early vids with different instructors from CGMA about environment drawing and I couldn't stay focused because it sounded too much like textbook. I would definitely sign up for one of James' classes. It's very engaging and communicated in a way I can understand.
Oh my god! You're the one who made my previous FB cover photo?! I can't remember where I found it. But it's the one at 4:41 with the bridge and the golden light. What a coincidence. Love your work.
James, thank you very much for what you're doing. I see that most concept artists seems to use photoshop and so are you. But what about procreater on ipad pro which I like . Johnny.
I would love to get better at environment design, but it requires a lot of perspective understanding and I only understand the essentials. Going to school full time and spending 30-45 hours a week painting leaves no time to work on personal projects.
sorry for the long reply, well now i'm using a laptop with intel core i3 processor 2.27 ghz, 8gb ram memory, 500 gb hard drive, i can use photoshop cs6 but its a bit slow
He's here to help, not here to take opinions of a little brat who simply cannot appreciate his efforts. If you don't like it, just go! He wouldn't care less.
sorry but, at least 3 focused points or only OR use only 3 focused points ? and what did you meant about " loose edges and, value control"???? thank you so much !!!!!
Wow a free course on youtube? Fuckin' awesome!

Thank you for putting these kind of things on youtube,I can't afford art school and this is perfect.
Towards the end it becomes so amazing, I was glued to the screen and voice. Wish the courses were affordable.
watching this nearly 9 years later but still learning much
The last chunk of this helped me the most, thank you :)
I have so many things to say as well as a lot of knowledge gained from your videos. I wish I could talk to artists with as much experience as you.
This is really good insight on an artist mind, really appreciative for these videos.
Thanks this was awesome!
Thank you so much, I support all your theories and it was very useful!
thank u CGMA for sharing this video

That would be a 1:2 ratio, not 1:3.
"Yeah lotta sketches, lotta sketches."
Me: Lotta I cant do that, how is that what stop show me your ways ;-;
think about what you want to draw and every time you dont know how to, break it down into small steps
you just have bad headphones/speakers.
NOT AUDIO MEN WTF?????????
The noise is extremely annoying, I couldn't watch it. Are you breathing right into the microphone or what.
