I love certain artistic people; ones that exude such deliberate care for the minutiae of the world just as much as for the macro. It’s so apparent in a very potent sense.
Will you ever do the last of us art book? The last of us part 2 art book also looks really good, going to buy it after watching your videos. Keep up the good work
You are a very Wise person Adam and you have a really good taste of the Aesthetic thank you for sharing us good advices your videos are a Treasure, keep it up!
Damm Adam, Amazing video!! Like you, LOTR and the hobbit are one of the most biggest inspirations for my career. Now i know that i was not crazy trying to explain others the high value of the concept art behind of those movies, its a relief that you see all this created universe as well Lovely video man, Many thanks for your advices and many thanks for sharing them!
I see people constantly underestimate how important investing time is when it comes to creating art. This attitude has gotten into me and makes me feel worthless if I cannot complete an illustration in a few hours. Sometimes it is so bad I feel difficultly even starting the drawing because I do not trust I will make it happen in the "right" amount of time. Hearing you value time and dedication in your projects gives me a little relief and trust in myself -and I doubt I am the only one. Thank you for this.
Again, I really like the P2P vs Straight Ahead analogy applied to drawing. Don Bluth is my favorite animator. I have several of his movies and instructional DVDs. I'm glad to hear how fanatical you are about the LOTR's Trilogy DVD and BTS because now I realize I am not alone. I still watch them. Also, I have several different box sets of the same DVDs and BluRays. However, I don't have any of these art books. Thanks. I will look for them.
Aside from the amazing talk, the way you slowly keep moving the camera horizontally really sparks interest in the background and makes the scene fresh and alive. Just WOW!
Aw man, this series is such a gift, loved every video so far. Fantastic work. This reminds me of my ritual in primary school, every single day, when I got home, I would watch 1 of the LotR movies(tho it was almost always RotK, cuz you know, Minas Tirith and Rohirrim charge) while doing homework, such good memories
Thank you, I so needed this! The whole video was amazing, but the last 2 minutes where you looked into the viewers eyes and told everyone to nurture their ideas, because there is value in them. I felt that!
I've been loving these videos for so many reasons. 1 - We get More well thought out videos from Adan! 2 - Most of the Art Books are just plain incredible. 3 - We get to see the passionate and optimistic side of Adam that we don't see as often in other videos. 4 - It feels as though these videos are a little less straining / draining on Adam, thus keeping him more motivated to keep creating awesome Artwork / Videos to share! A question for Adam Duff, are all the paintings hanging in your office space there your own or just ones that inspired you? With them out of focus it is hard to tell. I'd love a video showcasing them! I also had a thought that maybe you put up stuff related to your videos subject and if so that is amazing. It be insanely EPIC if for each Art Book you did you had up any other related artwork in the background meant only for those hardcore fans. I appreciate Lord of The Rings, J.R.R. Tolkien having drawn so much inspiration from his real life that it even translates into the final production of the films. A true testament to how inspirational his works were, that the entire production staff would put in such effort to preserve his original vision. The love and respect for his works is quite abundant. However... I have never seen the entire trilogy, nor have I seen the Hobbit. I still love the world he created, I did read the Hobbit and I have seen most of the movies just not all at once. I felt your message at the end, truly felt it. I often doubt myself for being so slow at drawing, which often leads to over valuing speed. But speed is just one of many metrics by which to measure yourself, or anything really. "Measure Twice, Cut Once." A carpenters motto / saying, though it may not apply much to art... Any student needs to know what methods they SHOULD use to measure themselves. Accurately measuring is important in all things, that includes personal growth. Unless personal growth is not your primary objective, in which case you needn't worry yourself with such trivial things! Excellent Video as always, your passion and effort are not going to waste. The quality of each video seems to improve quite steadily. And I'm fairly certain you're quite aware most if not all the pressure to do so is entirely from you. I doubt most people watching are expecting higher quality with each video, I for one value your insight, wisdom, and loving passion infinitely more than I value any of the pretty lighting or camera work you've been using. But I certainly have noticed it, and appreciate it as well. As it is all part of your own personal Artistry.
I have no doubt that if the studios had simply let Jackson and Weta spend more time to fully develop the Hobbit's production instead of rushing its release, that they would have made something truly enduring. Even in the product we have, we can see pieces of their love and passion in it.
I really glad that I found your channel, you inspires me a lot to keep going, and open my mind and eyes to the way I see art and life! Thanks for share so much content for us. The art gods are really thankful for your work! ;)
And i thought i was just a geek for watching the making of LOTR... but i enjoyed every minute. I to was amazed at the level of detail that went it to the production. For Peter Jackson, it wasn't just another move. It was a masterpiece.
I love this series so much man. Been in a really bad slump when it comes to art for honestly years now, you're helping me get back that spark. Can really feel your passion in these videos. Thank you.
Been watching your old videos from 8 years back, vodo doll and your home setup in 2015 and now...vast improvement in over 5 years. Love your studio, cosy and love how your camera is moving from side to side motion. What kit you got for camera setup? camera slider, cameras in general (model, make etc)
Okay I finished the video the spontaneous thought and I must say, thank you so much for covering this and I love the way you covered this and just loved how excited you were and I love how you hand picked your music, you really have this epic music of ni no Kuni music within you and I just love how impactful it was to me, just watching this and when you showed me the Beorn and the moose thing you mentioned but that made me smile and thank you for bringing this to my eyes, as someone that loves My Yoshitaka Amano Final Fantasy series, and loving and appreiciating a balance between art of a cartoony perspective but showing this to me makes me appreciate Lotr more and I thank you for showing this to me because this is definitely going to go be on the list of things that I want to have on my shelf to study from and your explanation on the behind the scenes made me so so so very happy
Thank you again for this one! I am always feeling like I need to paint faster because my clients ask when things will be finished. And I'm not great at predicting when I will be done. I like what you said about the "manifestation of time." :)
Excellent work. Your videos are truly amazing. You honestly deserve more views and subscribers, but I guess nice and decent content like this isn't exactly trending. The camera moving to and fro is amazing. I'll try to add that to my own videos, haha.
Hehe! Look who's showing off with the new camera equipment! Looks freaking awesome! This was another piece of incredible insight, thank you! Although, I do find myself conflicted over your final message. I had one lecturer (someone who I really admire) often say "Let go of your darlings". This related to choices in film and editing when something simply doesn't work but you keep trying to bring it back because it's precious to you. So how would you sort the darlings from the seedlings?
My favorite movie content of all time period. I really have to find a digital version of it because I have a box set collecting dust with no DVD player to play them on.
i loved to see the series adam savage did with weta workshop on tested. i am a person that just loves watching those people create. as a teenager i watched all the behind the scence stuff from lord of the rings multipule times. evertime i had the chance to do so.
When I was child watching lotr, that's when I knew what real fantasy was and when I got older, and saw the Tolkien in the side, I knew what made me want to continue writing stories til this day, and yes that movie made me cry and I'm going to finish watching the rest of this video to give you my full opinion, I'm going to watch your breath of the wild video and God of war video because there really inspiring lol your really good with camera man, keep up the good work man. So calming and chill and remind me others what it means to be an artist and how to focus in certain areas, thank you again
Thank you so much! This is exactly why I love these books - it's inspiration fuel and exposes me to greatness, which helps me raise the bar on my own work.
Adam, I bet you have those now rare Art of Lord of the Rings book series. You need to do an in depth review of those since very few people have the opportunity to pick those up now. My biggest regret is that I never bought all three books, they’re so hard to get now.
I'm rather writing stories, and sometimes poets, but learn animation, and drawing things, usually the actual dreaming world, which just employ. Most of the time I1m not fell most talented, and I'm slow and I1m afraid I1m not finished. But I found the Zelda videos, and your videos very helpfull in the writing, and everything. Really. Thanks for that.
Hmm I've never really understood the want behind the "speed painting" challenge. I do use timelapse to "speed" the video up, but that's something different called post editing.
Jim Lee does that with pretty much with all his sketches...doesn't lift his pencil when sketch. Roughs out a 3 dimension figure set within his world. Hopefully one day I'll get there haha.
i'm watching this late at night and i thought i was delirious but there are comments about the camera movement so now i can focus on another masterpiece video
Love the art of the movies,all of them, and when the first LOTR came out, i was just a newborn! hahaha TLOTR and The Hobbit were a great deal for me growing up
Hmm good question - well that would depend on where in Canada you live. There are lots of opportunities in big cities like Montreal, Toronto or Vancouver - but there are more countryside smaller places too
The original Art of the Lord of the Rings book was one of the first art books I got. I recognized Alan Lee's work from a mythology book I had as a kid. But it made a huge impression on me how Alan Lee and John Howe talked about drawing Middle Earth like it was a real place they were sketching. I also remember Howe talking about how Alan Lee was a big art hero of his, and to me they were both infinitely better than me (they still are, but at least I know how to draw now nearly 20 years later!)
Love your videos and listen to you when I am drawing! On another note, on the description of your video you have an incorrect title for the book reference on amazon. You wrote BOTW instead the HOBBIT one. Keep it up!
Ps if you’re still in Vancouver have you ever done a joint project with Baylee jay? Yes I know at first glance you may consider you two an ill match and she’s hella busy, but her bgd. Is animation and she has been looking more at anatomy, lighting etc of late I noticed
Dude, that's fine. I would watch the making of Miyazaki movies for ten years without having watched any yet as they were obscure ten years ago. But the concept art was beautiful.
As a game animator...I think I am more of a labour then an artist, as we need to finish the animation fast and deliver it on time. We also need to maintain certain quality along with that. But I rarely get to learn so much about different culture and style that you talking about here. What do you think you would do in my situation ?
I just gotta comment on this little thing. The slight camera movement looks VERY COOL and is a nice creative touch... BUT... it very much distracted me and I couldn't fully pay attention to what you were saying. But I get motion sick easily, might be related. Great video anyway!
in the description, the link is correct, it say "You can find the book ZELDA Breath Of The Wild - Creating A Champion HERE - (US Link):". Nice video btw :)
@@AdamDuffArt When i feel down or conflicted i just watch or listen to you while painting and it makes me paint more and the output is much better (i guess) than what i do normally. Thank you so much for the words and videos
I hated the design of Beorn he looked daft, he was just supposed to look like a giant man with dark hair and bushy beard like Brian Blessed if he were 7 feet tall.
Dude a bad drawing needs genetically modified seeds And to be chucked! When I can bear it about 50 crap drawings will get me to the modified seed. There is also great joy in destroying your no hopers instead of hanging on. Too many artists who don’t do the commitment to evolving hang on to 20 and 50 yr old works that were almost ok. I used to do that and am now ruthless. If there’s a kernel, a grain of use in something I quickly snap it and store on system.. but I also need to get ruthless with ps, procreate ai and painter......:). The most serious artists I have known Never let Anyone see their sketchbooks! We are none of us these days born from “ They drew as they pleased” stock. Sadly.
*sigh* I’d love to have you as a teacher one. Truly a passionate human being
Well I would be honored, thank you my friend :)
The love, the life, the joy in your work.
I can feel it.
Thank you for this gift.
Just started watching, I loved the little camera movement when you’re talking ! Such a little thing that makes things look more interesting
I'm so happy that you notice those subtle details. I love producing videos for these reasons. Thank you so much :)
I thought the camera was slightly moving cause it was on a dolly, set to go left to right?
lol I just talked to my brother about this. It's a good way to give life through subtle motion to an otherwise portrait-esque video.
I cried at the very end of the making of LOTR. A Masterpiece in all his glory!
Me too - all 9000 times I watched it
It is a real artistic, but also human journey!
Allen and John are literally gods of art!
And amazingly humble kind men too irl - the academy awards didn’t get to their heads
I love certain artistic people; ones that exude such deliberate care for the minutiae of the world just as much as for the macro. It’s so apparent in a very potent sense.
Will you ever do the last of us art book?
The last of us part 2 art book also looks really good, going to buy it after watching your videos.

just found out about your channel with Breath of the Wild video, love your content, keep it up, you like like an amazing person, so inspiring
Aww thank you, I love hearing that you’re enjoying them :)
That's how I found Adam's channel too from the "Breath of the Wild" artbook video.
Your reflections are full of humanity and knowledge. Great talks!!!
3D artist working in games here. 100% learned my craft because I watched the behind the scenes of LOTR as a kid. Thanks for another fantastic video!
Aside from the amazing talk, the way you slowly keep moving the camera horizontally really sparks interest in the background and makes the scene fresh and alive. Just WOW!

Thank you, I so needed this! The whole video was amazing, but the last 2 minutes where you looked into the viewers eyes and told everyone to nurture their ideas, because there is value in them. I felt that!
Aww Sadia - I love hearing that, thank you :)
The first thing I noticed as you went through the book is the difference in each artist's line weight. Both sublime in their own right.
That's some Bob Ross Level of passion and respect through your voice
Man this book makes the heart beats faster! It's amazing! thanks Adam!
