As always, you level up with each video, Hardy. I especially love how you match the elements position and shapes with the golden spiral, how you create those ground leaves tiers and how you turn the monocromatic building of values onto an alive painting. Thanks for sharing this video!
Amazing! It is so helpful watching you paint! You can paint an awesome painting in a very short time. I wish there are more environment videos. But I’d love to watch others as they are always awesome and I can learn a lot from you. Thanks again.
Hi Hardy ! Really love that last one !! It’s incredible how I want to jump in the picture and explore !! Thank you for that and I can’t wait to see the next videos ! ;)
Your paintings and videos are so inspiring, and your voice is very calming. It gets me so much in the mood for painting, watching your videos. Thank you!
@@fowlerillus Mr. Fowler I know this is not where I should ask this question, but I don't know any other place to do so, I love this industry and I love to be a concept artist, but it needs lots of abilities, skills and experience, how should I get there?! I mean I can't do personal projects for 5 years to become a concept artist and I can't work as one without the knowledge and skills! how can I get there?
Thanks! I'm so glad that you liked it. I need to do another one like this - I really enjoy these really atmospheric deep woods scenes. I appreciate the kind words!
I like how the reflected light from the field dominates the fog inside the dense forest.... Composition is as always top notch , I always lag creating some point of visual interest in my environments as I am practicing .... The point of visual interest in here is those two bright orange sparks in the broken wires of abandoned car .... it immediately catches attention
New sub here! Was so mesmorised by this vid that I actually started drooling🤤. Now Im off to try and create a piece just like yours(or more like my 9 yr olds! Lol)
wow your approach is unique, always imagining places like this one but i wish i had the talent to make my own piece .. I’m watching your videos like a path to reach there 🙏🏼
Another awesome environment! If you add a raptor wandering about the place it will be quite in line with Jurassic Park: Trespasser video game. :) Very similar atmosphere, perhaps I'll paint something like this!
@@fowlerillus Awwwh :D I rewatched your lineart course recently right before the academy started, where you made this cool killer machine out of that car and I attached this landscape painting immediately as a sequel to this as soon as I recognised the shape. Now it might be broken down, all guns and spikes removed since it can not drive anymore, but it still has a purpose as an energy engine for the house. Beetles for the rescue!
Is there a chance in the future there will be an updated or even a part 2 of your painting environments course? just so we can see your current workflow in more depth
Thanks! I'm glad that you would be interested. I don't have any immediate plans for a full course followup BUT I am going to be releasing individual project kits over the next year (I just finished a cyberpunk cityscape that will be one of the first kits) so there will definitely be new environment lessons and new techniques coming out soon.
I'm sorry to hear that - I know the feeling - these things can feel really daunting at first. I would recommend starting with some fundamentals of environment design. Relatively simple concepts like atmospheric perspective and composition can instantly lead to progress.
Thanks. I'm glad you like it. I'd be glad to help but it is difficult with a short comment reply. Can you perhaps let me know specifics about where things are becoming difficult for you? Perhaps I can direct you to some videos or resources.
I think it can be better.. Why is the car as a main subject on the side. If its a power source, why is the house not powered. If its lived in, what other elements are around that indicate that. What is the story.. how did the road car end up in a overgrown forest. Why is it only 1 car? What did he do with the rest of the car? Or did he just let it rust away. Just saying this for all the kids watching. This is what your art director will tell you. Not bad for a 1st thumbnail/sketch. The concept still needs work. Thats what the job is. Technic is solid.
The atmosphere is strong with this one. Tremendously inspiring!
Haha. Thanks!

Thanks Alberto!
Some people have all the talent in the world! I wish I had a fraction of your talent. Amazing, as always!
Wow, thank you! Super nice of you to say.
I always want to draw when I watch your videos. Hardy Fowler will only grow in his fame!
That's awesome to hear! Thanks.
Wow! What a pleasure to watch your process!
Thank you so much! Glad you enjoyed it.

Thanks! I'm glad to hear that. I'm sure I'll be coming back to environments before too long.
Love the slow build! Very unique approach.
Thanks Eben! Glad you liked it.

I'm totally seeing the Jurassic Park vibe now :) Thanks Tatiana
Thank you so much sir I love your classes and it helps me a lot.
You are most welcome
This one turned out beautiful! I love the story and the color choices! Is this car a Volkswagen Käfer (beetle)? :D
It is! My mom had one when I was in high school. I loved that car :)

Really cool man! I feel super inspired!
Thanks Randy! Glad you liked it.
The car battery light detail tho, 👌
Haha - thanks! I was especially fond of that myself :)
That looks so cool!
Thanks! Glad you like it.

@@fowlerillus that’s awesome! Very excited to hear that thanks for replying Hardy you are a legend!
How do you decide on the size of the canvas for these pieces? Are there some set guides to help a beginner throught it?
I usually paint environments at 4K which is 3840x2160 pixels. 16x9 at 300dpi is a good rule of thumb too.
Is this photoshop ? Or is ot another program ? It looks so effortless, probably cause you're just that good
Photoshop! I definitely have practiced this a lot but it is also sped up a good bit so it's not quite as quick as it may seem :)
Great video. Can you please share your brushes
Nice... where can i find the music?
Thanks! Isn't that beautiful? I got it from Epidemic Sound. It looks like it's named Psalm by Anders Schill Paulsen.
I'm New to this but I already feel like I can't do anything. Kinda given up before even starting. dont know from where should I start

Sir, You are a GENIUS. My name is Amit. But problem is I trying at my best, can't . Please help me.

Right on - great points here and there are certainly some unanswered story questions. Thanks for the perspectives. Cheers
@@fowlerillus all good. Love your videos. Keep on rocking it!
It’s a great piece, maybe chill a little bit unless you wanna make your own video
@@connorphillips1929 What makes you think I am not relaxed about it? I enjoy his videos too.
@@connorphillips1929Never said it was a bad one, chill out mate it's all cool 👍
