    You are and will remain one of the best digital landscape artists I know of.

    I think those old pictures look great!! Not being condescendent, I just find a very genuine and from its-time (2000s) use of texture, noise and atmosphere! Probably those choices were not consciusly made, as you mention, but I trully find those pictures powerful!

      agreed, i really enjoy the look of certain artworks from that 2000s era

    I think both versions are amazing. The older version is more realistic. The remake is cartoon esque but brilliant! I think you do a great job no matter what

    This video was super helpful, thanks for posting. It's really helpful to hear someone say that it's ok to want to actually paint and draw as a concept artist. So much of the advice out there is photobash photobash photobash, kitbash kitbash etc etc. As someone who's just starting out (working on character design) it's really encouraging to hear that my love of drawing and painting isn't useless haha! It's also really good to here someone from the UK too! I'm from London but mostly seem to only find american content on the subject of concept art.
    A video I'd love to see would be a breakdown of how you think about layer stacking and how you came to find your workflow. I waste a lot of time thinking about how to be painterly whilst also keeping things changeable for an art director. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
    Great video dude!

    I really liked this video, and I thought it was really cool that you remade your old art, there are things that we only notice over time, and this adds little by little to our journey, one suggestion from me is that it would be cool to know more about your story and your artistic journey, if you have taken some courses, mentoring, etc., thank you for the content.

    I was worried that this channel might be dead.

    I liked the first painting. It reminds me of some art from mid 1800.

    It’s nice to hear your painting journey, I feel like everyday I’m seeing something in my work that I didn’t even notice and constantly rewriting my brain and painting pipeline to improve, your videos remind me to reassess my own perspective, cheers man.

  • @delviento325
    @delviento325 9 місяців тому +6

    I love your work in general and I actually really liked this old landscape. Although the old version was clearly made from a diferent point of view, I don´t think it is wrong in any way. I understand the process of reworking obviously, just saying that to me, this old one has the same validity as the new one.

    Just throwing my 2 cents in, but this video was very interesting. To be honest I'm subscribed because your work is very impressive and I want to learn from you. I love tutorial videos and any type of wisdom you can share to become a better painter. Thank you.

    Your art tutorials and walk throughs have really helped push myself through college and even slightly through university, always learning and getting new perspectives.

    It's inspirational in a way to see you breaking down the mistakes and what have you done to fix them, it's like the evidence that everybody starts somewhere and that there's no magic bullet, just tons of work and learning

  • @chrisdownstudio

    Thank you for this video. When I first started watching your channel, your use of the lasso tool to create broad shapes was a revelation. It helped me to think about how digital painting is its own medium with specific tools and strategies for creating images.

  • @jeofthevirtuoussand

    so bold ,so expressive
    would fit well in a game portfolio

    This is very useful to listen to and watch, the thought process then vs. now, trying to identify the weaknesses before you outline them. Would enjoy seeing more of these.

  • @studiozealot
    @studiozealot 6 місяців тому +1

    I'm so glad I came back to this one and watched it! This was super informative to watch, and relatable on so many levels. The feeling of satisfaction when you return to an old concept and reimagine it with your current skill level is nothing to be ashamed of, for sure-even if it's hard to explain that feeling to an unfamiliar audience.
    I'd love to see more of this series! Or similar series where you pick a challenge for the week and make a video about lessons learned- nothing complicated, don't wanna burn yourself out- just test your skills and share your insights. Or if you want to get interactive, maybe pose the same challenge to your viewers and invite some sharing (I don't do much social media so I can't suggest where or how, just spitballing since you invited thoughts/ideas).
    Anyhow! Keep it up, my guy! I've wanted to get into more landscape sketching and your style always inspires ✨

    @jordangrimmer been enjoying your work for years. It was great watching this video and I appreciated hearing you reflect on this piece. It was refreshing to hear your perspective with your current approach. I look forward to more of these.

  • @DukePaints
    @DukePaints 9 місяців тому +2

    Youve been a massive inspiration for me as ive studied and learnt concept art, and I admire your new style so much, and I aspire to make similar things,ive always sucked at sketching and thumbnail work. Id love to see a completely unedited virsion of one of these, not sped up at all just so I can study your workflow! Great video (:
    Also the triple so yeah, so yeah, so at 24:29 made me laugh

    • @JordanGrimmer

  • @LelandDantzler
    @LelandDantzler 9 місяців тому +2

    This video was so, so helpful for me to rethink how I approach making art (and music). I tend to get lost in the exciting details early and by the time I zoom out to see the whole...I have to throw a ton away to get back on track.
    As for future video ideas, I'd really love to see how you self-analyze the stages of a composition. How do you know what big shapes to use at first, and at what values? How do you know when the big shapes are good enough to move on to establishing colors within those values/shapes? How do you know when the colors are good enough to start details with atmospheric fog, fauna, etc.?

    • @JordanGrimmer
      @JordanGrimmer  9 місяців тому +1

      Thanks! And cheers for the ideas, I've actually got something in the works that should hopefully cover some of those points :)

    Hey Jordan! This was a refreshing video compared to some of your past ones. It's not too long, you give helpful commentary/advice, and you show your layers which is great. Might I suggest you occasionally share your thoughts on why you choose to draw certain objects the way you do? For example, you could comment on why you drew or coloured those mountains in the background the way you did. I think that could inspire or at least expose people to different ways of tackling drawing! Cheers :)

    Your work is beautiful and these videos and tutorials have been so useful and also calming to watch! I was wondering if you could do a piece that has more buildings in maybe and also a tutorial on some of the photoshop tools because that would be very helpful :)) Have a lovely day and keep inspiring and creating masterpieces 🤩

  • @pmouzet
    @pmouzet 6 місяців тому

    Hey, I like very much your work and it's really interesting to know what were your thoughts about the brushes/custom shapes and the reasons about why you would this or that choice on the landscape! I'm beginning in concept art and your videos help me a lot, Hope there's more videos like that one in the future!

    Jordan, hi! You are one of my favorite CG landscape artists, thank you very much for sharing your experience and your thoughts.
    Many things in your thinking resonate with mine.
    Can you name a few of the coolest cg artists in your opinion that you yourself look up to?

    sorry can i ask you do you think that the size (17 inch) for screen display tablet is prohibitive for a professional concept artist?
    (I intend to give it as a gift to a friend who is a professional) the product we are referring to is the wacom cintiq pro 17

    • @JordanGrimmer
      @JordanGrimmer  8 місяців тому

      I don't think that's prohibitive at all, that size should be perfectly fine for someone to use professionally.

    Hello, Jordan! I am your old viewer, maybe for 4 or even more years now. I was returning home after school and watching your 40-minutes videos on my TV, tried a several times to draw in your style or trying to adapt it to my own way of drawing. There are a few arts I am proud of, they are sceneries, but I also got a problem. I am an illustrator and I usually have illustration commissions with characters on a background. And the thing is - I can't adapt this style for drawing characters. It is very important to make a character recognizible and drawing with blocks and placing big textured strokes is hard for making it. Do you have any ideas of how to implement characters in such style, in such backgrounds? I can send you examples of my work and what I mean, if you want. I also want to say thank you for your work and sharing it with us, as it helped me to find some cool features and quick ways of solwing problems in drawing.

    I don't think they're terrible at all, I know we reflect back at our old art with cringe but to others they may see treasure where we see trash.
    There's no reason I can't imagine seeing the top left at 2:38 in some gallery from the 1800's.
