- I'll show you my process to plan a very simple sketch structure for my compositions, and how it will pay off massively in the long run for your concept art and/or illustrations.
I hope you guys like it, thankyou as always for all the love.

Your process is fantastic. Definitely taking a few notes.
New to your channel - I’ve been struggling with a lot of self-doubt and creative perfectionism and your vibe / voiceovers really help. Also obviously I’m here to get more insight on painting in procreate 😂 thanks for sharing this quality content with your community!
I really liked when you said doing it over and over will make things click, I am struggling with line art taking ages but I will keep at it till it clicks. Thank you so much and waiting for part 2 🙏
Thanks for watching! Part 2 will be tomorrow or early in the week :)
Good point! It protects from discouragement. Because until it clicks it sure does feel like a waste of time (even though it isn’t)
그림도 좋은데 같이 설명해주시는 것도 너무 좋습니다. 도움이 많이 되고 있습니다. 😃
I appreciate the real-time demo, excited to see how you develop from these in part 2! Thanks👍
Thanks! It will be really soon!
This real time drawing video made me realize that I draw too fast. I'll try taking my time with each brushstroke. Maybe that's why I get stuck sometimes, since I do not allow myself time to think of what I'm actually doing. Really helpful, thank you!
Yes indeed, I talk about that aspect a bit in part 2. Thankyou for watching :D
The speedpainting craze from 2010 really ruined a lot of artists expectations I think. Slow is fast.
I call you a good teacher ❤ thanks a lot , from iran 🇮🇷
I love the real time! And those shapes are super nice :)
I finally spent a weekend to finish this practice. Thanks Grady, once again I learned more things from you. Never realize how importance the notan sketch can be. Because during my work, some colleagues might find it's kind of a waste of time painting from black and white , more of like an old school style for them. 🤣 Especially when u can creat a desigh with Blender. But this vd shows how critical the fundamental is. From what I've learned from this, I think notan sketch is focused on the abstract SHAPES and value groups between light and dark which can provide u a more clear head before you go futher into the value sketch.
Absolutely the thing I was looking forward to ! Thanks for putting out valuable knowledge for the community . Literally giving free class for everyone. Don't know where did my first comment go haha !
Haha thanks, means alot :D
I actually want to thank you for slowing it down. Some online instructors overlook a lot of the basics. Looking forward to trying your method...
Thanks :) Have fun!
Your content/art is great man! Can't wait to see the next part where you take these abstract compositions and use them to form an environment :)
Thankyou! Part 2 is up, I'll get part 3 done asap :)
I’m just starting out and just wanted to say how much I appreciate your videos. The video composition, guidance, and music choices are so dope. Thanks man.
Great video! I am trying to improve the compositions of my environments and this explanation is very helpful to have a solid base. Trank you!
Thanks so much for your videos they make me feel inspired again after a long time and its super pleasing seeing your content and i love your artwork and your videos also i really love when you show your process with references you are looking at, really inspires me even more. I noticed that some of the references shot in Iceland my home country and the landmarks i know well personally especially the reference way to the right. Mountain called einhyrningur is one of my favorite in Iceland. But it’s really nice to hear your wisdom of what you are creating and recently found myself just having your videos running in a cycle when I’m drawing. Thank you so much for all your work.😊🎉🙏
Thanks so much for this! This gave me a boost this morning :D This sentiment you shared is my main motivation for creating videos. I love to hear that people are feeling inspired to continue creating stuff.
Great advice as always. I like how you keep things simple and consistent. Thanks for making these videos Grady!
Glad you like them! Thanks for watching and subbing :D
Thanks for this video. I find that separating into just two values with light and dark is difficult for me in scenes with dense foliage, like forests. Going to try to remember these tips for when I try to tackle that again
These videos are a great help man. Love the chill vibe too!
Thanks very much!
Thanks so much, gonna give this a try now. Looking forwards to see how you add more values in the next part!
Thankyou :D either tomorrow or early next week!
@@gradyfrederickart Awesome :D
awesome idea of a video series - thanks!
Absolutely love the real time approach!
I'm glad! Part 2 has some real time as well :D Thankyou
Looking forward to part 2 :D
Great video, looking forward to part 2!
Just uploaded! Thanks for the kind words :)
loved this less talking and music. then you watching a lot of tutorials or drawing videos, you constantly hearing same stuff over and over. so this video format is more interesting for me :)
Awesome, thank you!
i love your tutorial bbroooooo, it so helpfull, play with light and dark shape so fun , i wish i know this method sooner
Glad you like it! Thanks for watching :)
Great process, thanks a lot Grady! Very good explanations and real time video !
Thankyou!
Love your videos! Also love your "constant talking"! Could you at some point talk about Brushes please? I recently watched a video from Jordan Grimmer called: How to sketch landscapes. He talked in the intro about the potential of the right brush and since then my paintings have gone to an entirely different route. I would love to hear your perspective on the matter. Thank you for doing what you're doing, it's super refreshing and helpful and I enjoy listening to a personality such as yours talking so genuinely about their craft. Take care!
Thanks so much! Yes I will gladly talk about brushes in an upcoming video :) I really appreciate the feedback 😊
It's really cool to see your environments Grady process, I saw that you use some reference images of real images, do you use some reference artists to make your paintings?, it would be cool to know about your influence map, about the artists you admire, and what that catches your attention in their work, I think it would be good content for a video, congratulations on the content, very inspiring.
Thank you very much! Very cool explanation of the topic. You have very atmospheric videos, it's nice to listen to your voice!)💛💙
Thank you! 😃
Thank you Grady; this process makes sense! 👍🏻😁
Thanks man!
Very informative ! I have a question about the light and dark shapes part in the process. In your mind did you determine like ok this where my light is going to be and where my dark are going to be. Meaning did you take into account the "logic" of lightning or is it more like ok I want my shapes of dark and white to be this way and then I'll improvised my lightning based on that. I struggled that part bcs as I have very little experience with this process and im lost here if I should take into account the logic of lightning or if i should focus on appealing shapes first and then logic of light. Thank you for your time I hope my question was clear !
Hi, Grady! As you said, the new part will be introducing values in the thumbnails, and I wonder if could be possible to make a video about the transition between values e coloring, I can't find a reliable content on RUclips about this (values and colors). I know there are courses, but they are kind of unaffordable at the moment...
I'm a beginner, sometimes I'm struggling in how to put the right color on the right values. Thanks for the content and about the talking on the videos, I always find useful to hear a professional about the creative process and other factors in the creating process.
I will cover this more in the future, but for the time being I actually have a video about this! Thanks :D

@@gradyfrederickart Oh, thanks!!!🔥🙏
Really helpfull, thx a lot for sharing your process 👌
Thanks :)
2 value comp is easy whats hard is when it gets divided even more into 4 how far/close the added two to create emotion based on the atmosphere thats grounded in science and real life relationship, to create mood not just from some wishy washy feeling, to keep the compression and relationship accurate
Keep them coming bud
🙏
awesome work and videos, great chanel thank you
Thank you very much!
I don't why but it reminds me of the late Jack Hamm's Drawing Scenery book approach. 😃😍
Interesting! Yes alot of those similar principles are going on :D
thanks a lot
Can we get your brushes somewhere? Love this sketch lines
I will make them accessible soon!
hi👋, I don’t understand how you create these sketches using the refs at the top of your screen. maybe i’m wrong but it seems like you draw from imagination because i don’t see the link between the refs and the sketch. Do you use other refs on another screen ? thank you
I like to draw a circle then another circle next to the first one. After that in step three I fully render an owl.
Awesome Video/Content man! Is there a chance to see a room/setup video in the future? Your place looks great : o
cool
So just scribble some black and white on it and somehow it becomes a cool looking image. That makes sense…..
