I was imagining that I was in a field full of sunflowers and just enjoying the sun. it's really hard to chill and relax these days due to what's happening to the world. so much love from the philippines Ross 💕🤘
@@DjokovicIsOurLordAndSaviour I don't know if that works with line art. Some people have a natural steady hand whereas others will always struggle with line art because they just don't
@@aspenisthebest Of course some people have a more natural steady hand than others. But, I don't believe that this isn't something you can improve at with practice.
'My neighbor Totoro' from Studio Ghibli has quite an iconic scene with a bus stop in the middle of a forest. :P And there's also a famously mysterious abandoned School bus in the middle of the Alaskan Wilderness (made famous by the film 'into the wild') and nobody knows how it got there lol. It's not beyond the realm of possibility for a bus stop to be reclaimed by nature. :)
I love how he makes drawing look so much fun. After years of trying to get "perfect" at it, you kinda forget about the fun it brings. Thank you for that ross
Shani Hazan it’s really not that true. I still have so much fun doing digital and traditional art that I’ve gotten into animating. It’s like a excuse for me to draw more pictures and color them. These types of comments get on my nerves because it’s not true. Although you relate to it, lots of people don’t. Please watch your words next time. A better way to say it would be “I agree.” Or just anything that says that you agree with this person’s comment. When you are saying “true” it gets me to think that you think everybody has the same opinion or problem. When talking to a person with a problem they have or an opinion, never say “true” or someone can get really pissed off and you can get into arguments that really don’t matter. That is annoying for me too.
it's not about perfection, that doesn't exist in this world, instead work towards creating something that's good looking to you personally, you'll eventually start inspiring yourself and having even more fun.
Also a fun tip for people to just draw backgrounds in general: Using a game like Sims 4 is a really great way to map out what you want to do :D It's helped me a lot when drawing comics because I can easily see all the different angles of the background. Just thought it might help you guys out :D
I am unable to picture things when I close my eyes :( I can hear music I am composing or taste things I haven’t cooked yet. But my imagination is completely black and void of shape or texture
What i learned is a lot but one thing is that its okay to use assets to help you build a background as long as you don't take the entire background for yourself and claim that background that you took as your own
@@Unukadesign Same,I used to be the same way with using references. (I'm not anymore) but it was so helpful to know that you can use that type of stuff
When you use ccolor dodge you should use them where your lights hit. and where you put your colordodge you should put shadows below it or in the side for contrast
If you don't have pen pressure, try lowering the opacity of the layer or the brush, then use colour dodge and apply it [with one go] only in specific areas
For anyone who wants some really good references, Genshin Impact has a load ton of gorgeous landscapes with lots of detail. You can even change the angle of it for perspective. Someone else said Sims 4, which is also good for more modern landscapes. Minecraft is made up of blocks, but it works just as well! I like using these references because you can change the angle to your liking so you can get an awesome perspective, and lots of vibrant colors. A bonus for minecraft is you can build how you want your landscape to look. I definitely reccomend using these if you can't find any real life landscapes that suit your tastes. You can still use real life ones for lighting and how water looks, though. :) Have a great time painting everyone! Wishing you all the best. ❤
What I really love here is that Ross' thumbnail sketches are just quick, loose sketches, nothing overly detailed like most do and I dunno why, but it helps me understand the approach better. Like I don't have to go into it extremely detailed and even after refining the sketch a bit, it isn’t overly complicated. His process is simple, straightforward and that's all.
Thank you so much for sharing your skills with us ! This master class is useful for me because I rarely draw landscapes in my drawing (usually just a monochrome background ) ! I love your art , keep up the great work !
Landscape has always been my ultimate weakness but thanks for this guide! Helped he overcome my fear and start small on my journey in learning environments.
Im Currently working on a comic with my cousin and was super excited for you to do landscapes since their something I struggle with but I feel like I can do better knowing this thanks Ross!
Shari Blake that’s so cool! I wish I had family members who liked art as much as I do! Good luck on your comic! I want to create comics too, so this information helped me with my struggle with landscapes!!
Same here. My sister wanted to make a comic together out of nowhere and this has helped me out a lot since I don’t have much experience with landscapes. Hope you’re doing well on your comic! 😃
“You’re gonna wear yourself out, so take breaks.” Me, who has an audition for art school in a week: how about no? (edit) for yall who are wondering, yes i got in
Thank you so much Ross! I just got accepted to art school for studying concept art and these days I’ve been practicing so much and this course has been really helpful❤️ we love you!
Oh my goodness. I have been searching high and low for months for a method I actually would feel comfortable with. Everything I've come across just shows people sketching things out and then using their own brushes to create textures and such. My area of expertise is in photo editing and manipulation. I always felt like it was "cheating" or something for me to use real life photos in paintings. I always felt like I needed to make everything from scratch, and it ends up being so frustrating for me. I can't ever get anything to look right. This is the only method I've seen so far that actually makes sense to me and that I know how to do! Thank you so much for making me feel like it's not cheating to use photos (yes, ones that are legal to use) in paintings. After months and months of struggling to get anywhere, maybe I can actually make decent paintings now. Thank you so much!! And yes, I did close my eyes!
I suffer from aphantasia so, as much as I close my eyes, I can't see, hear, smell nor feel anything. But, besides that, all the other tips were super helpful!
This just blew my mind. I had know idea that this is how you do landscapes, with all the little tricks to create a believable environment that quickly. Amazing. I definitely have to try this one day.
Your vibes are so motivating and fun to watch, I'm just starting on digital art and I just LOVE this series I'm so eager to start now. Happy people doing what they love, what a sight to see !! Thanks !!
I can see how the art school was influencial here. A typical artist- more thinking of myself here- usually goes with gut instinct and just draw. The professional who has had training, do thumbnail sketches and lots of concept sketches. The one thing I can't do, but that just means I enjoy watching you and your process. :) That color range process tip is very handy! Thanks.
So, all of this time I thought I have to draw every details by myself. And it really frustrating to draw every single leaves. 😰 Now I thank you for sharing this vid. No more stressed-out for leaves. ☺
When I look at it I feel like I'm not that good. But then I realized that every artist has different art styles. And you know you were the one who taught me that. So I will no longer compare my drawing or art to other people. Thanks Ross. And Thanks for the landscape tutorial I really needed it.
Man, I really love your videos. They helped me a lot. Also, the explanation is pretty clear and easy to understand... PLEASE MAKE ANOTHER VIDEO LIKE THIS.
You know you could totally start your own art classes & so many people would love to join. You’re amazing 🖤 such a simple teacher & I can understand everything. Art theory can get so intimidating.
10:34 This one edit had me spit put my coffee.....Note to self...don't drink anything with sugar while watching your videos anymore. It leads to 5 minutes of laughter...and an 1 hour cleaning my keyboard. Absolutely amazing video. Wonderful tips and amazing skill. Thank you for creating this educational series.
Another awesome episode Ross! I would never have thought about using ACTUAL pictures as textures! Question: where do you get your photo assets? I am so looking forward to your next episode, thank you so much for sharing your wisdom. I love the closing your eyes to envision what you want to draw!
I have watched a lot of videos about drawing, character design, making comics and other stuff but these illustration master course is the best surely its the best. Thanks
I actually get lost somehow when I try to imagine something with my eyes closed. I usually just look like through a wall and imagine stuff. It's not like I have a problem to imagine anything. I just have to keep my eyes open. :D It also works like that when I read a book too. I just read and I "see" it at the same time, so later when I think about it it's like remembering scenes from some movie. And when I try to remember where I've seen it I realize I didn't see it I did read it. Does anyone have it the same way? I just don't talk to people about this so I don't know if it's normal or not. :D
Hana Agonax Right?! It’s so weird when I really get into a book I forget I’m reading & I see it like a movie! Good writing is addictive. Then I come to & realize it’s just words on a page. I thought I was the only weird one who did this.
Same!!!! Only difference is I can see it all when my eyes are closed or open or reading a book. And every time it’s in like the highest detail almost as if it was real ya know?
@@raquelortiz6077 heyy that's a bit silly question but could you recommend some good novels? I realized I haven't read anything for so long cause I was just so occupied with my uni :(
Hey Ross, I know you probably wont see this but this is really more for me anyway and maybe anyone else feeling the same way. I've been struggling off and on for a long time to really improve my art. I'm 27 now and I was away from really doing anything more than a doodle here or there for a couple years because I just felt so lost. But recently I took a couple classes at a local arts organization in my area and felt happy again. I've stopped wanted to be as good as this person or that person but just started drawing again because I enjoy the process. I found your channel not to long ago and I really admire your style but more importantly I really love what you are doing here on youtube as well. You've helped stoke that inner fire I had for drawing and I wanted to encourage you to keep it going! I know that it can be a rough life sometimes to chase those youtube stats and see a video do better here or better there and really chase what will make your channel grow. Just know that whether your video goes viral or maybe just gets a little less traction than most, you're inspiring people like me every day.
Ikr! Every time I thought about doing the same I told myself that it was wrong and that no one does that 😭😭 I WAS SO WRONG!! My brain just 🤯 Now I know I can do it without feeling guilty. Thanks Ross!!! ❤️❤️
Something I learned is that working smarter is better. I was always afraid of using assets but seeing as how it isn’t as time consuming as it is, I am not afraid anymore. Thanks Ross!
I fucking love your ENERGY so much. just having ur videos on in the bg while I'm drawing makes it so much more fun. you are so passionate about drawing and its inspiring af!!
@@BelgianWaffle6791 Just remember that the image you are sampling from is only providing some patterns so you just have to play around with the lighting or the levels and then throw it on top of the desired area, cut away where it overlaps where you don't want it to with the magic/magnetic wand tool and then lower the opacity on that layer. I recommend playing around with different textures to get the feel for it and an eye for it. Lichen, marble and granite are a few good examples that are really distinct. Direct message me if you need any more help or want to connect through a video chat to walk through it. Good luck!
I love how you treat everything as an asset to paint in the clouds, and you've got such a wonderful inner creativity that really brings that to something new and magical
This is wonderful info.. what is especially useful for me is the fact that it highlights my lack of skills using photoshop. I’m really glad to now know exactly what I need to learn! Thank you!!
amazing! I love this tutorial. Backgrounds have always been something I've really struggled. drawing leaves is so boring agh! with but this tutorial helped me 'imagine' and get excited for creating an atmosphere/world! Thanks for being so inspiring! I always come back to this tutorial for inspiration haha!

Omy god i destroyed it ;^;
Loli Draws 😂😂😂😂😂
Because you're supposed to feather it, not squish your pen onto the tablet
Might help if you have pen pressure
When you use ccolor dodge you should use them where your lights hit. and where you put your colordodge you should put shadows below it or in the side for contrast
If you don't have pen pressure, try lowering the opacity of the layer or the brush, then use colour dodge and apply it [with one go] only in specific areas

I just have to keep my eyes open. :D It also works like that when I read a book too. I just read and I "see" it at the same time, so later when I think about it it's like remembering scenes from some movie. And when I try to remember where I've seen it I realize I didn't see it I did read it. Does anyone have it the same way? I just don't talk to people about this so I don't know if it's normal or not. :D
Hana Agonax Right?! It’s so weird when I really get into a book I forget I’m reading & I see it like a movie! Good writing is addictive. Then I come to & realize it’s just words on a page. I thought I was the only weird one who did this.
Same!!!! Only difference is I can see it all when my eyes are closed or open or reading a book. And every time it’s in like the highest detail almost as if it was real ya know?
Allison F wow, your imaginative abbility sounds much cooler ✌️😄😲
@@raquelortiz6077 heyy that's a bit silly question but could you recommend some good novels? I realized I haven't read anything for so long cause I was just so occupied with my uni :(
Barbara Any particular genre?
Hey Ross, I know you probably wont see this but this is really more for me anyway and maybe anyone else feeling the same way. I've been struggling off and on for a long time to really improve my art. I'm 27 now and I was away from really doing anything more than a doodle here or there for a couple years because I just felt so lost. But recently I took a couple classes at a local arts organization in my area and felt happy again. I've stopped wanted to be as good as this person or that person but just started drawing again because I enjoy the process. I found your channel not to long ago and I really admire your style but more importantly I really love what you are doing here on youtube as well. You've helped stoke that inner fire I had for drawing and I wanted to encourage you to keep it going! I know that it can be a rough life sometimes to chase those youtube stats and see a video do better here or better there and really chase what will make your channel grow. Just know that whether your video goes viral or maybe just gets a little less traction than most, you're inspiring people like me every day.
guys we got to appreciate he is doing this for free he deserves way more subs
thanks Ross :)
They look like Hades and Persephone from Lore Olympus :0 I love your artworks btw :3
Gemmie aaaah webtoon fans! Me too, a fan!

Impressive I don't have more to say 🌷🐞🍀

I find myself coming back to this video once every few months for background tips LOL
This is super helpful, thanks Ross Draws!
Not only is this fun to watch, but there is some ACTUAL valid good advice in here that is really unique and helpful. 10/10 would recommend. 👌
The scale of that tablet seems unreal...just how tiny is this guy? ...Pocket Ross
Yay! Super excited for this video 😆
Me admiring artists for drawing amazing texture and details in their arts
10:56 Also me : surprised pikachu face
I never thought about that 🤣
Work smart not hard 👀💅
Ikr! Every time I thought about doing the same I told myself that it was wrong and that no one does that 😭😭 I WAS SO WRONG!! My brain just 🤯
Now I know I can do it without feeling guilty. Thanks Ross!!! ❤️❤️
Something I learned is that working smarter is better. I was always afraid of using assets but seeing as how it isn’t as time consuming as it is, I am not afraid anymore. Thanks Ross!
I fucking love your ENERGY so much. just having ur videos on in the bg while I'm drawing makes it so much more fun. you are so passionate about drawing and its inspiring af!!
his thumbnails are like... my finished sketches lmao
The minute I saw Marcus and Carl I started laughing! XD I knew a meme was approaching.
10:45 Oh my God! that makes its easier to add texture, Im lucky I watched this😂
I am SO MAD when I saw how easy that was. All these years and that's all it takes.
Same I was shook
i thought this was cheating but idk i do see it as time saving in some cases. it actually amazed me though.
could you please explain how he did that? i tried copying the technique, but i cant seem to figure it out.. im new to photoshop, and im using windows
@@BelgianWaffle6791 Just remember that the image you are sampling from is only providing some patterns so you just have to play around with the lighting or the levels and then throw it on top of the desired area, cut away where it overlaps where you don't want it to with the magic/magnetic wand tool and then lower the opacity on that layer.
I recommend playing around with different textures to get the feel for it and an eye for it. Lichen, marble and granite are a few good examples that are really distinct. Direct message me if you need any more help or want to connect through a video chat to walk through it.
Good luck!
I love how you treat everything as an asset to paint in the clouds, and you've got such a wonderful inner creativity that really brings that to something new and magical
This guy paints so effortlessly while having so much fun!! It's so inspiring
Okay, but this blew my mind! I did not know that concept artists could use actual pictures in their artwork! Very helpful (: thank you!
This actually made me want to try drawing a BG!!
👍👍👍 There are only a few incredible artists at the Earth!!! You are definitely one of them!!!👍👍👍
Please do not call us drawers, we are not furniture
Not true, there are plenty of Incredible artists.
18:01 Ross: Ohh, the beauty, the majesty, the awesomeness!
The music he put while drawing/painting highly gives me Fantasy world vibes and it just accentuates everything. Love it.
That’s like...the most beautifulest Wacom screen I ever seen in my life🤣 look at that mess he’s drawing on it’s amazing
"Close your Eyes"
Ah yes i'm going to draw THE VOID
What is the Missing....
COLOR DODGE 🎉🎊🎉🎊

This is wonderful info.. what is especially useful for me is the fact that it highlights my lack of skills using photoshop. I’m really glad to now know exactly what I need to learn! Thank you!!
i still can't believe all these are free...thank u so much ross❤️

I'm 23 and just picked up drawing as a hobby. Your Videos have been very helpful, thanks!

Backgrounds have always been something I've really struggled. drawing leaves is so boring agh! with but this tutorial helped me 'imagine' and get excited for creating an atmosphere/world! Thanks for being so inspiring! I always come back to this tutorial for inspiration haha!
