The key element that makes your illustration really stand out is your control of values. In particular, the reflection of light on the water is spot on.
New video after 1 week?! You're spoiling us! Thank you for giving us more insight into your techniques. Very much appreciated Victor. This is by far one of the best videos you have made.
Your work is really beautiful, I have seen many people working on concept art, but this is the first time I have seen someone know color so well without using multiply or overlays. How did you get here? This is how you learned colors
Thank you! Glad you like it, I remember doing a few studies from photos when practicing color, I tried not to color pick from photo, but instead get the correct color myself by comparison. Also I think the book Alla Prima by Richard Schmid is super nice, a lot of great advice there. When planning your image , think about the light sources and how they will affect all the elements. Then of course have solid reference images that will guide your color choices,
I hope you will always be successful, dear Victor, I am not a concept artist, I work in the release of level design games, I do some environment design, but I really saw your work, especially your samples, it was very interesting, and most importantly, you know the colors in such a way that you can use them. You can also draw lights, shadows and the atmosphere of the environment. And the most important thing is that in 2 or 3 hours you can make the work in this way, and of course, a good art card takes a lot of time, and I saw your samples, it was like that, this is without exaggeration, I have a problem with perspective. I also couldn't understand anatomy well, that's why I couldn't enter the concept art industry. I wish I could draw like you. If you have a discord or a way to communicate, telegram or email that you answer, I'd be happy to send it to us. Thank you, victor again
Victoooooor 🎉 i'm so much Happy to see this!! It Is Crazy that YT did not send me the notification for your last video (the One you loaded 7 days ago). I will gladly watch It later!! Thanks man for all the advices, and as Always, Amazing art!
hey victor, i rlly love ur process videos! when my hand hurts too much to draw i sometimes watch ur process vids, and its also a great way of learning. i was wondering how u pick ur references (assuming that u do use references,,, if u use ur imagination only for these ur insane 😳)? i only began studying environment/background art for a month and ive mostly been doing studies, and im not too sure how exactly i should start an original environment painting. so yeah, how do u pick references? and any tips on original paintings?
Thank you Margarita! I am afraid currently, I don't have that much time to be able to start such a thing. Sometimes though, I put down ideas for a comprehensive course. In case something like this might happen, I will definitely let you know.

Glad it was helpful! Thanks so much for watching!

hi Victor!! what an amazing new piece! do you do paid mentorships or anything of the sort?
