    For a really really long time I was so overly stressed about being "right", how I shouldn't "Cheat", if I wanted to do an environment it would have to take meticulous planning. Of course I couldn't do much.
    Nowadays I'm much more free, and I'm far more interested in just getting to where I want to be, rather than worrying how I got there.
    I wish someone had told me years ago, haha

      I believe that before you start "cheating" you should learn how to create it without "cheating", and after this you are free to do whatever you want to speedup your work process.

    Although the giant rock does sit at the centre point of the composition your eyes will always follow the steps to where the character stands .... that's where the interest lays and it just works. I absolutely luv it ... great work!

    Not being into this kind of art but being into games the one thing I can say is that one form draws from the other. In the most ideal circumstances neither is really drawing from the limitations of the other but trying to merge.

    Can I start by saying I love your videos? You have a clear understanding of art and the industry. I'm a new artist and hope to work in the game industry one day. I was hoping that maybe if you had the time you could one day make a video about how to paint and add texture to one's artwork. I ask this because this is kind of the problem I have with my artwork.
