Background Art 101 

"The only real failure is failing to begin" I really needed to hear that today. I procrastinate a lot

I am now an expert Background artist after watching this

I i know someone mentioned tihs already, but i think the " eliminate your roadblocks, there are no rules, the only failure is failing to beign" is some thing that will go on my desktop background right now, thank you very much

I came across this today when I wanted to learn about BG designing for a passion project... the content is so helpful yet so short and clear, professional to college level information, and its uploaded here for FREE? I almost feel as if I snuck into some college class lesson archive and got a whole credited lecture from a professor. Thanks for this, I go to a design school (for different major than entertainment) and alot of these I've been told to do or have been doing, but you really made it into a boiled down clear form and everything about the creative process it all makes sense now. The dots are connected on how I should approach. I honestly have never been so excited, enjoyed, and inspired taking so much notes on every detail in this well-designed slideshow presentation. Thank you so much for sharing this knowledge.

lol a college professor linked this video and told us to watch it during class. This is mega helpful, thank you for making this public!!

Perfect timing, I was crying over my background progress yesterday 😝

I can't believe this info is free 😭❤️❤️. Thank you

I've been waiting for this because sadly I couldn't watch the full stream. Thank you for uploading it!!

You’ve shown me how to search for new artists and that has helped me SO MUCH! Thank you so much. I’ve noticed you no longer have the speed paint/walkthrough of the painting of those two wolves up. I can’t tell if I imagined it or if it was just hidden.

This is the best thing I have ever seen on youtube about art. This could be a full on 300$ workshop in some fancy university. Thanks for making this! I am also trying to be a background artist.

I've learn a lot of things in this stream im so glad you're reuploading it😁👌

This video is so helpful! I've gotten to know more about the pipeline, but even better you explained how you explained your painting process for backgrounds! I'm definitely more excited now to work on my background pieces myself!!

This is all i need .. i was so confused about concept art, 2d background, environment art etc. Thank you so much for clearing my doubts 😄.

I was really hoping you’d use Owl House as an example when I saw Steven Universe and Amphibia. Owl House and SU have such gorgeous background styles!

Oh my gosh... the level of details is freaking awesome. You're so great...

Love your background art and so glad you're sharing your process ✨

this video is so useful and helpful! thank you, the examples and explanations are so clear and thoughtful, especially your thought process at the end when making that piece!! :)

Love to see more inspirational videos like this , thank you

I have learned so much about beackground art!! It's WAAAYYYY more then I thought it was and it helped me a lot. Thank you so much!!!

44:00 confidence like Sanderson,just do one thing at a time, don’t overwhelm slowly will get there, trust over fear

This was EXTREMELY HELPFUL

im just 2 minutes in and already loving it! thank u so much for this amazing video!!!

This is such a good and indepth video THANK YOU ! I have needed this, looking at my portfolio right now there is no direction. Planning to go through this again and note down everything I need to do. Just subscribed !!!!

This is the best video about backgrounds applications I've come across...! Thank you so much!

YOU ARE AMAZING!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH!

I watched this multiple times. This video is really informative and helpful! always coming back to this, thank you.

This is the definition of good education. Thank you and every educator who's ever influenced you.

Thank you so so much for this, It's the best video of the kind that I've seen, very helpful. And you're an amazing artist, I've been following you on Instagram for quite long but I just discovered your YT channel and I'm so glad 😍😍😍

thank you so much for the step by step, thoughts and process on this! will help me so much

damn, i've been looking for stuff like this, for a while, crazy how little attention has been brought to this

Thanks so much for sharing this! There is so much great information and I love seeing your process. :D

Thank you so much ! Your videos help me a lot with realizing all the ideas I have and learning about art :)

THanks so much for creating and doing this presentation! It was definitely a HUGEEEE eye opener for me. I always thought in order to make Background Painting portfolio, all of the work had to be done by the artist (Design, layout, and paint). I'm definitely relived and excited to start new pieces for my portfolio. Thanks again!!! ^___^

I love your voice I can listen to it all-day

I wish you were my art teacher, this is so useful and I love listening to you

amazing video thank you so much!

I feel like your channel content is changing my artistic life... 🤯

this is really helpful thank you for this free high quality education

This video is very interesting and very informative. You have great talents. It most be fun to work with people who practice this kind of work. Thanks for sharing with us your talent and knowledge.

thank you so much!!

You're amazing thank youuu

Thankyouuuu SOOOO MUCH

It's so helpful thank you, i was searching video's for background , but it was hard to find good one , But now i found one! 👍 Thanks

This is awesome! I may be a niche case, but I jumped on RU-vid looking for how concept art and illustration skills transition over to the animation industry for background art. The first half of this video just directly lays that precise and clear. Stuck around for the entire video... and I gotta say, this is a college course wrapped up in a tidy little package. I have a pretty good source for that- I teach two college classes- and this is almost identical to how I cover the material. Definitely going to drop a link to this presentation in my Syllabus. I think seeing all of this is a great intro before investigating the individual topics more deliberately. Well done 🤘🤘

Thank you very much for sharing this. It is very helpful

I like to hand paint backgrounds and give it a golden age animation feel with my own style of painting. Thank you for your help with this information

this is so helpful!!

Cool

I wish I saw this 2 years ago it was so informative. Does anyone know where I can get those free background designs that she talked about at 40:21??

This is fantastic, thank you for sharing this. Your work is stunning! Could you possibly do a video on csp going through the basics of lineart and building up an image from just a sketch please? you have such a great way of teaching.

cool video
