I think you're the first artist I've ever heard suggest to beginners to move to digital early! Most instructors are adamant about learning fundamentals in traditional media before ever touching a tablet. I see their point, but I think you also make a compelling argument about being able to experiment and iterate quickly and without waste. Regardless I appreciate the alternate perspective. You're one of the best painting teachers I've found on UA-cam and I'm excited to start exploring your website content.
I'm really glad that this was helpful. I heard that same thing from my teachers and I never really saw the benefits outweighing the practical disadvantages. I really appreciate the kind words - that means everything. Thank you.
The "do what feels right" advice resonates with me the most because I was taught to always do precise measurements. Being so strick about everything kills the fun out of making art for me. I know that some people enjoy being very precise but it's freeing to hear that their method isn't the only right one.
I totally agree - the more laborious and strict art feels, the less successful it tends to be (at least for me). Glad that this resonated
This has set me free. Your suggestion of don't worry about measuring, mannequins or studying an entire textbook. I just want to start my character, slap it onto the page and once it's set up, then I can eyeball my anatomy and proportion and use my reference(s). Thank Hardy. And yes I also bought you Udemy course on Character Concepts. Now I feel I am able to move forward. Thanks
I'm so glad this was helpful. Anatomy is definitely important to understand but it's so hard not to burn out in the textbook approach. These few points have really helped me :) Good luck!
Great channel! Actually I've taken up all of Your courses so far and thus I've subscribed as I know that Your content is going to be a gem! Good luck with Your channel Mr. Hardy!
Hi, Hardy. I am a big fan of yours. I found you on Udemy and I gradually buy more and more of your courses, because I just can't get enough of it. Also many thanks for adding these cool videos on youtube - it really helps us to overcome quarantine in a positive and productive mood! :) Stay safe!
PS: As a student of medicine I really do appreciate this video :D
Update: I just bought them all :D
Wow, thanks Petr. I'm so glad that my courses have been helpful. Best of luck with your medical studies.
great explanation of the muscle span over joints! I have never thought of it that way, even though i use very "flowy" strokes when i draw muscles, this makes me think much more in the dynamics instead of the structure... if that makes sense :D May I ask if you have time for a livestream sometime, maybe where you just throw some lines of something you feel like drawing that day?
i completed every single course of yours in skillshare , you're simply brilliant , bit of a bummer , i thought you had some toutorials here in youtube ... neverrtheless keep up the good work
Great content, thanks for the advice and ive got all your tutorials. Its great to seenyou on youtube and im sure youll start gathering more following soon.
i really apreciate your videos tutorials. Its amazing the way how easily you teach. Thx
Your artwork is really interesting
and beautiful
Thanks for sharing this lessons with us, ur classes are such amazing!
absolutely amazing
Those measurement standards kind of go out the window too with any sort of foreshortening and how the forms distort and overlap.
I've noticed that using liquify doesn't take away from my learning proportion either, if anything being able to correct my mistakes, I've become alot quicker at spotting what I did wrong and making my initial marks more accurately. Huge learning tool with such a weird misconception that it does all the work for you.
I love liquefy! Great point - it's such a nice safety net that lets you adjust things as you go. Agreed - foreshortening complicates everything
Thanks, Hardy! Very nice tips on studying anatomy. :)
Glad it was helpful!
awesome big fan of you art and courses!
Awesome, thank you!
Thx for lesson 👏👋
Hi Mr Fowler, you have this technique of using gradients (gradient tool) in conjunction with color blending. Is there any chance you could do a video focusing on how you combine those techniques? If so, could you slow it down for us newbies - you go very fast! Thanks very much for everything you do! You're a wonderful artist sir!
I'm curious how you brush is set up to get those values? You don't seem to be selecting colors. Is that just a low opacity brush? I've recently moved to digital art and the techniques are so different then traditional
In a tonal painting, I usually just stick with a high key grey and then set my brush to low flow and opacity. Repeatedly tapping the stylus gradually builds up tone so that you can control how bright the values get.
Hi, Hardy
Found you from Udemy and conceptartempire
I am very much new to drawing, started last month only with the aim to be a concept artist.
Your courses looks awesome and going to purchased them...
My main question before I start your courses, do I need to learn fundamentals like form, perspective, etc or you teach them in your courses?
And if yes how should I begin with your courses.
Thanks
Hi Yogendra. That's awesome. I have free courses on fundamentals if you want to brush up on any basics, but the vast majority of my courses start with fairly basic concepts and then move forward gradually. I rarely hear of any students feeling like they are out of their depth and the curriculum is designed to help you make quick progress.
Hey guys,
I just tried to use the liquify tool on photoshop and it takes me to a new window and seems to destroy any lines when I am pushing things around, is there something I am doing wrong?
Hi Daniel, It's normal for liquefy to open a new window, so don't worry about that. If your lines are being destroyed, it's likely that the tool is being used too heavily. When the liquefy window is open, adjust the properties on the right and try lowering Pressure and Density and you should have more control over how heavily the lines are being pushed around. Liquefy should be used fairly lightly or your lines will start looking too stretched and melted. I hope that helps!
Hardy Fowler Hi Hardy, thanks for replying!! That definitely helped thanks so much! I’ve been taking your environment painting course and now I’m super excited that you’ve got a channel, subscribed right away and can’t wait for more content!
Hi hardy can you make a video how to painting ice materials or any of your courses have the video about it ?
and your channel should have more subs
I'm working on a large course about how to paint virtually anything and I do have an ice/snow lecture planned. Unfortunately this is likely quite a ways off since I'm working on a design course first and I spend quite a bit of time producing each course.
@@fowlerillus well i can wait and learn to paint something else in your courses, i still have plenty of thing i can't draw yet
I think it would be helpful to zoom in on occasion.
I try to stay zoomed out whenever possible. I find I get lost in the details and lose sight of the big picture if I zoom in BUT, definitely do whatever works best for you.
@@fowlerillus Can this effect be done with any brush? I’m on procreate and I’m used to using the airbrush tool. Any advice?
@@fowlerillus I guess that took a lot of practice to master. Staying zoomed out and controlling the size of the brush and yet resisting the urge to begin "noodling" or treat the brush as it were a pencil it's really tough.
