12:34 I think birds are great to add to a epic scene because they usually nest/rest at places out of reach for humans. So adding them gives off a sense of "people shouldn't be able to reach this place".
What do you mean, people shouldn't be able to reach this place? People climb Mt. Everest and go to space. Why shouldn't people be able to reach bird flying heights?
Seconded. Instantly subbed just from this one video and how structured it was, and I'm normally stubbornly resistant to adding new channels to my feed. (Hopefully their other videos are as good as this lol)
Not only am i a concept artist, but also a teacher and in all my years of learning art and interacting with both free and paid educational content never have i stumbled upon something so clear, organized and simple discussing such a complex topic! please keep going, this is gold!
I just randomly stumbled upon this video through YT recommendation. The video is very well made. The editing, pacing, narration, music, the voice itself..everything is on point. I would just like to thank you for showing those absolutely incredible artworks as examples as I had no clue these artists existed. Hopefully they all have an Artstation account that I can follow!
I'm a painter, not a 3D artist (yet) but this was still immaculately helpful. Excellent job describing each process, using relatable examples, and then applying it to your own world to show its effect. 100% going to send this to my artist friends.
I absolutely can not get over how well put and well demonstrated this video was! thanks a lot also, tons of great artists mentioned in the video, I found 6 new artists to follow while watching this one single video
I think bringing the camera down to the ground looking up is pretty much THE most important thing for creating scale. Of course, there are Pieces that don't use that, then the Field of View combined with distance from the object can really make a difference. Far distance + small FOV makes such a difference but is really hard to do in drawings, rather than camera photos, so references are great! Incredibly well made explenation! Very nice Video ;]
holy hell! i'm not an artist and i don't know why YT recommended me this video but it was worth it. you're a true pro. creating such an epic piece out of nothing but some basic principals and your own skill. fukken subscribed.
I was struggling so hard because of perspective and scaling things, this is just gold!. Thanks for the premium content and the massive effort you put in this stuff.
15:13 "and that's pretty much shit!" what the.... ??? oh, he said "and that's pretty much IT." whew. These are all important concepts to know and implement. These images were all great and great job on putting this vid together!
this guy's calming voice was everything lmao, but thanks for the tutorial! im a huge digital art fan and I've been having problems in creating backgrounds like these xpp
So good. I've been in the industry for 9 years and created stuff from game assets to plain old posters and I still learn something new. Hope you can also do something like a showreel of artists. Thank you from Japan.
This is probably one of the best made videos I've ever seen. Every example effectively explained with artworks. I followed your video and was able to make an artwork of my own. I'd largely appreciate more videos like these educating different methods of doing something.
Addendum to principle #8: bottom in full light, top in shadow. High-rise building tops in the shade of some off-screen cloud seem to be ubiquitous nowadays. 😉
wow, just came in the office and was struggling to get some epic-greatness into my image and now i watched this video. Really well done and explained, thanks a lot!
I think the point on composition is often more applicable to video, where you can pan up and around to show that there IS more... but you have to look around to see it all... that's how big it is.
I thought this video was going to be kinda more technical and talk more about how to create large scale scenes without breaking your computer's memory or something. But what I've seen on this video is very useful too, so thank you for all the great tips and how well are explained
Thanku, u cracked up my workflow and showed me how to organise myself better. And as always..... selfmade assets seem to work better then those I bought. Cause I can controll it. Thanku so far. I feel inspirated, to work on my ancient Dungeon I am preparing for .... nahh.... this will only confuse you^^
What a fantastic tutorial, and beautifully explained principles demonstrated with amazing artworks by mostly new artists to me....who i've now followed. WIll be recommending this channel to my friends for sure, the quality is insane
Amazing content, i am giving up alcohol to save money and pass your course!!! It’s really rare to find such a clear explanation of composition tricks! Thank you!
For someone who is making a comic of an epic scale proportion to most of the main cast who are stuck with either A living amoungest giant beings or having them in their party this is going to greatly help me beable to paint and illustrate the world better.
I'm doing your tutorial, it is really nice to have something like this on youtube to start with. Thank you for the great content, I plan on doing the underwater tut and purchase it after I finish this tut.
O, c'mon! I want all these amazing art of large scale places as full blown or demo games! They are so amazing!! I love it when we get to traverse massive environments!
@ 1:55 the illusion of scale based on the angle because we see things in our own height. our brain is applying our own scale on how it sees the object.
I've been trying to understand architecture, so that I can draw realistic buildings, and that stuff about the spires I will remember for the rest of my life- It wasn't until playing the base-building game, Valheim, which uses gravity and physics, that I started understanding the effects gravity has on building structures, and it makes immediate sense to me that a spire is less weight to support than a flat top. Thank you so much [Edit:] I similarly had never thought about how plants need some proximity to the ground and cannot climb infinitely upward. That's great to know too
Very educational and well made! But I have a question - about your square cube law. “Double the height - quadruple the weight.” Isn’t it 8x the weight? 1x1x1 cube = 1 unit of volume 2x2x2 cube = 8 units of volume Assuming consistent density, and doubling all dimensions, that would be 8x the weight, not 4x. Right?
Nope. The fact you double the height does not mean you double the other dimensions. With a ^2 law you have to enlarge the square sides by ~1.4. 1x1x1=1 -> 2x1.4x1.4=4 -> 4x2x2=16
@@zenleek2129 "He probably meant doubling all dimensions" Yes thats what he meant, Thats also why the way, antman grows (in the marvel movie) doesn`t work. He would just collapse.
@@zenleek2129 Do you have a problem with reading or what? I wrote all the calculations above from which you can clearly see the weight is quadrupled. Think in 3d, not 2d. Doubling all of the dimensions has no logical sense. It's ineffective and pointless from architectural and structural point of view. It's not a f#ing Minecraft game)

Yes thank you for restating exactly what he said.
Pidgeons are mad about this
This is used EVERYWHERE in art for Magic The Gathering

Dude this was so well made. Holy shit. Can't imagine the effort it must've taken to edit this. Keep em coming. 🙌🙌🙌🙌
ifkr the dedication...
Seconded. Instantly subbed just from this one video and how structured it was, and I'm normally stubbornly resistant to adding new channels to my feed. (Hopefully their other videos are as good as this lol)
I know right? It's just perfect, how calm he talks and explains each piece, I enjoyed every second of this
Wonderful 3d art tutorial, completely software agnostic, widely applicable, love it
Showing how you apply those principles in practice is super helpful and illustrates each point so well!

i've been having a hard time doing scale renders and with this. Damn so usfull! Love your channel. Big fan from mexico!
Cheers, glad to hear, also something we struggled with but this really put everything into perspective :)
this is why UA-cam is so awesome, thanks for sharing great tips
This is insane, the pertinence of everything you say is pure gold
love the relaxing tone , how things are categorized and applied slowy on en exemple

How can you make such a theme so clear for us ?? Simply amazing, thank you so much.
watched your underwater scene yesterday and got recommended to this epic scaled masterpiece
I was struggling so hard because of perspective and scaling things, this is just gold!. Thanks for the premium content and the massive effort you put in this stuff.
Ngl, this is probably one of the only tutorial where i learned, understand, and entertained all at once
I love epic scales in art so freaking much, just the thought of how small you are in this endless world excites me.
bruh, u made me fall in love with concept artist again after i was in self doubt and confused of what kind of concept art will suit me.
Back ground Music... Just fantastic..! Love it ...
1 year late but one of the best videos to understand scale dude thank you
Genuinely enjoyed this. New and refreshing.
Love. Love. Love this! I see your number of subs skyrocketing in the near future!
The honor! Glad you enjoyed it :D
so much covered in 15 minutes, you are a legend! love your videos man
15:13 "and that's pretty much shit!" what the.... ??? oh, he said "and that's pretty much IT." whew. These are all important concepts to know and implement. These images were all great and great job on putting this vid together!
The way that design has to change at scale because of physics is something I was never taught and has a massive impact. Thanks!
Oh, my God! I've just found this video and it blew my mind! Great examples! And very fun description! Thank you!!!
This channel needs more subscribers, this is awesome
That is some amazing production value, masterfully explained!
That cube, really transformed into... Something!!
Holy I just found this channel and this video was very easy to understand and informative. Definetely subbing
i've learnt so much in 15 minutes..... gonna try out these composition techs
The fact this only has 28k views should be criminal
this guy's calming voice was everything lmao, but thanks for the tutorial! im a huge digital art fan and I've been having problems in creating backgrounds like these xpp
This video is amazing..... all started from the default cube
oh my god you're right, he didnt delete the default cube!
Beautifully done. Knowledge shared is knowledge gained.
OMG . I just found this vid and channel and i really wish that i found it earlier ( years earlier ) . This is so nice and ur critics are so on point

I don't even do Art, and yet, this is so interesting to watch
Just what I needed! 💙
I inherently enjoyed this Video!
the videos really show how mush work and research have you put on them I really appreciate your content man
Addendum to principle #8: bottom in full light, top in shadow. High-rise building tops in the shade of some off-screen cloud seem to be ubiquitous nowadays. 😉
Fantastic video! What you talked about here will help me out a lot with this piece I have been workshoping.
Love all of this. Came at the right moment
Im starting as a game dev and this was a very informative piece. Can see clearly how i can impose a feeling just from where the camera is situated.
i really like using these kinds of epic scale concept art as wallpapers
One day this video will have millions of views...
Very comprehensive
Your t tex videos are The best wow, you are one of The best blender youtubers
wow, just came in the office and was struggling to get some epic-greatness into my image and now i watched this video. Really well done and explained, thanks a lot!
Im glad I found your channel - a content without circus (unlike almost the rest on yt). Good work!
So well explained, thank you so much for the effort and the value provided.
the quality of you vid is EPIC. Hope this grow fast.
Holy crap... This is gold man, thank you man.
this is fundamental gold!! thankyou so much for this.
Actually insanely well put together video! Thank you for this masterpiece
high quality lecture
Brilliant tutorial! It goes into just the right amount of depth without feeling condescending or as if it's dragging on too long.
I think the point on composition is often more applicable to video, where you can pan up and around to show that there IS more... but you have to look around to see it all... that's how big it is.
Cant wait to get all the skills required to make amazing visual art like these.
This was an amazing tutorial! Thank you very much!!!
Such great information concisely and entertainingly delivered. Thank you for the education! Subbed
P.S. you built some great architecture!
Flot arbejde. Tak for gennemgangen 👍🏼

What an excellent rehash of foundation. Beautiful vid bro
Great way of teaching, thank you.

I've been searching for this topic for so long but it came in my recommendations today and this is so well explained!!! Thank you so much
Was searching for this just last month but you added a bunch of great additional points! Thanks a ton.
Basically what i was looking for. Need to understand its concepts
Beautiful video, so well put together. This is quality i would see on a person with over a million subs. Amazing!
I'm so happy I found this channel
Amazing content, i am giving up alcohol to save money and pass your course!!! It’s really rare to find such a clear explanation of composition tricks! Thank you!
I'm pretty wasted right now, and i'm not even an artist, but this was actually a really informative video. I subscribed
Perfect video I need more of these, please.
Bro this channel ... 🤤
Exactly what i needed, thanks for the good work !
