EASY ways to add DEPTH to your painting. Breaking it down. 

Thanks Dave and thank you for coming back.

Even though my art has improved over the years, I feel like my digital art has got worse. I think its partially being overwhelmed by brushes and effects. Please could you make a video or talk about ways to prevent your art from becoming muddy? I'm torn between using lineart or making more painterly art.

Awesome comeback video! Thanks Dave! 🤟🏻

The King returns!

So glad to see ya back on RU-vid!

Loved this vid. So good to hear this all broken down. Thank you!!

Great to see you back on RU-vid. This was a really cool way to see theory put into practice.

Although this is a concept I've known about, you presented it in a way that gave me new ideas on how to better tackle such problems. Great stuff as always Dave!

Thank you for the tips Dave! Whilst the concept of what your explaining is obvious at point blank. I think its common for a lot of people to not properly understand it upon implementation, especially when you mention about using the background to frame and complement the composition. Its def more common to either add too elements which serve as a distraction or not enough giving a emptiness to the comp. The hard part is finding that good balance that makes the image flow nicely to the eyes. Great stuff man! Look forward to seeing more!

Thank you for this. More short videos are just fine

Thanks man and welcome back. Hope to see more of your videos in the future :)

Thank you Dave! Lovely to see you back, your videos are a big inspiration for me creatively 💖🙏

Thank you Dave this is really helpful! 🙏😍 so glad you're back!

Awesome video Dave! I am glad you're back on RU-vid. I want to make a suggestion, please use the fact that this piece was done for Hearthstone, put it in the title and you'll probably get more views. This channel definitely deserves more attention

Dave!! Your videos are what really sparked my interest and love for digital art. I've learnt so much from you. Love your art.

thank you for all the videos! been so helpful to me. also, your free brushset is amazing, so much variety but everything has a clear use and it’s been really fun experimenting (the larger textured brushes + DG main are godsends)

Really helpful. Thank youu. 😊Love to see more of long painting vidoes

No kidding bro, this is absolutely beautiful.

You're back! thanks Dave! I hope to see more fanarts like your sammus, carnage or warhammer piece! you know

welcome back sensei

ty dave this was very helpful

You really are an amazing artist

Love the videos Dave, have a good one!

Thank you lots Dave!

Thanks for the tips also I love you 😭💖

thanks for this dave!

Thank you Dave

Thank you for great video ❤️ I have a question do you use Ipad in professional painting? Is it good enough ?

Very important indeed. ty!

Any chance you'll do 'Drawing With Dave's again (and hopefully more consistently :/ ) ? They're so inspiring and lovely to have in the background as I practice my own illustration.

Hiii Dave I love your videos!!!

I have a question do you always go Greyscale to color for every character?

good artwork as usual! I find something on this art confusing: the character`s legs behind the dress lack rendering. It took me a few minutes to realize that a character actually wears a golden-yellow dress, I have confused it with a bright casual game artstyle tree log or smth. Maybe it`s because I feel a bit unwell today and my eyes don`t focus properly, but it took me some time to figure out the shape of an elf`s skirt. How about making a tutorial on how to paint legs and skirts in complex positions like this?

Thank you

Thanks 😊

👍 This isn't the Bob Ross apology video 🤭

Fundamentals... Please more fundamentals

want to see a paladin like character tutorial haha

Yes!!!!

Really cool and good advices, but still - somethin is theory, somethin / different is actualy painting - reality. I had that same way like u, everythin got from experiences and more difficulty job/projects - even if i know some ways how to do, still I kept painting on my own, because it was more natural to me at that moment. But God bless for u ;)

👍

man! what I would give to have a career in illustration. I fucked up and went to school for something else. MAybe next life lol
