P3: Plan Your Backgrounds! (Here's how I do it) 

Im astonished that you just casually post full blown classes for free. I can't express how helpful these have been.

What a lesson. My little characters are finally getting backgrounds that really just set up their story. How fun is this. I was getting to bogged down with lines and vanishing points. This just really clarified it to me. So grateful....

This is better than any university course. The world needs more beauty and Tim is a beautiful person! Thanks

Not not gonna lie your videos is very helpful as i do character illustration and storyboarding

This video is awesome, in school id use floor plans to save the time of indecision that comes with making things as you go. Obviously making things as you go can be fun, but when they're based off of a strong foundational idea it's much more fun to do and has a lot less stress. Great video, seriously

Absolutely … as an architect artist I always start with a complete map or floor plan so that the reader..and myself ‘haha’ know the relationship between characters and their scenes… cool talk… thanks

I'm so happy I found your channel. As an aspiring artist, I run into these kind of nerve-racking technicalities, and here you are solving problems. Thanks. *** You drew with Jerome Lereculey. One of my Heroes. I met him in Bordeaux, and he drew a character from les 5 Terres, the guy is a hard-working monster.

Thanks for the video. Very insightful. Perspective is really something one should study. What I find the hardest about backgrounds is putting characters into them, because unlike desks and beds characters are way more organic. And one can say characters are nothing more than a bunch of boxes and cylinders in perspective, but that still feels like a massive step-up in terms of proper perspective.

As always, really useful tips here! I was just thinking recently that I wish I had a better process for drawing backgrounds and then this popped up. Thanks again for sharing your knowledge!

Those insights in this series of videos are great. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience. I really like listening to your podcast on Spotify, too, when I am on the road

Dude you're too good to be true 😢

Hey Tim! This question might be addressed in a future video in this series, but what you do about vanishing points which are way off the page? Something like a bird's eye view of a city, where the camera is way up in the air, or like those concept arts of fantasy villages in video games?

This was a great video.

Hi Codex..great lesson. I think your saying(think,but don't over think it)and if you do(don't,forget the details) I feel like this writing, you only need so much information in a line, the rest can go in another. Lead the reader,did I win,ha😎

Very good video!!! Similar to what Feng Zhu presents on the Design Cinema episodes 108 and 109. He actually goes a bit further on the Design thinking process. If you think it's valuable advice you could add some of those advices on a background advanced video at the end of this series or something similar. I'm loving this series and the amount of knowledge that you are providing for people week after week. For free on top of everything!

Hii Tim Sir can you make videos on backgrounds ,VISDEV ART how to improve on that ?

sir i have a request...please make a video about "mike mignola"s art...share your thoughts about his work...and how to adopt style from other artist...

Thank you for these videos, they are excellent, and really unique. I hadn't thought about floor plans and environments at all. Unrelated nerd question: what is that handheld console in the background?

Hi Tim, were you born in America, there is a US twang to your accent

Bro this is a great video. Thank you! 🫡
