This video seems to be a good indicator on how insightful your classes are. Within the first 30 minutes things started to click, and after watching the whole video I’m recognizing the things you demonstrate in other people’s art work and it makes me excited to make art again so thanks. I plan on starting your beginners course in the next week.
As someone mentioned already, I've heard most of the concept you laid out in the video... but it's so revealing and easily understandable when I see them all put together step by step all the way from the foundation. THANKS a lot!
Hi Noah,just wanna to say thankyou so so much for sharing your content in youtube where people like me can access drawing tutorial,and you are an awesome teacher!!Have a great day!
I am a beginner and have really been struggling finding this type of fundamental instruction. I have been on the verge of quitting several times but I think this is really going to help me. Now if I can get some help with color selection. Thanks so much!
I have been a professional caricature artist at Disney for 10 plus years till I moved to Montana and just took up oil painting. I can't stand how amazing this video has been when it has come to teaching me landscapes. So many "ah hah" moments in one video. Thank you so much for making this free content for those of us that can't afford your master classes that you have proven in this video are COMPLETELY WORTH THE PRICE if they offer this level of education. Incredible.
I've been looking for this for some time. The simplicity of this content makes it the best ive seen. The way you explain and show is excellent. Thank you for your time, dedication and effort to help artists like myself.
Here are a couple of my favorite parts in case anyone finds them useful 30:00 Perspective vanishing point guide 46:00 Depth in the air 56:00 Overlap to create depth 58:00 How to make depth clear in your work 1:34:00 shapes
I am only 40 minutes into this video and already I feel something have clicked inside of me, in Norway we call this an "Ahaa opplevelse" (ahaa, experience), to discover something new and understanding it! Thank you! And I will watch this lesson until the end.
If you're working with anything opaque, it's more difficult that a light grid can show up. If you're using watercolors or anything translucent, you can put the start and end points of the grid lines on the tape you use to keep the paper down, and imagine the lines based on that. Edit: a very important trick if you're using the second tip: make the horizon ones a different color, and make the "end points" longer lines so you can better see their direction
The grid doesn't need to be straight as an arrow. Look at Andrew Tischler's thumbnail sketches, he just demarcates his squares by hand and it clearly reads as a landscape still.
Ahhh, what a wonderfully welcome surprise. Well, I am already recommending your new Art Camp to all of my students - you bring so much value and authenticity to this industry Noah, it's the least that I can do :)
Great tutorial. Going to be a huge help as I get back into painting, and as someone that plays a bit of MTG,I just noticed that my favourite art of the new collection is your piece, wow. Song of creation is beautiful.
Really no need to apologize for teaching "the basics/fundamentals". These are exactly the things that many of us still desperately need to learn. Many thanks for these great tutorials. It shows a person with generosity of spirit. A good artist with the ability and desire to teach is a rare thing. Kudos. 👍
This is just....brilliant. Thank you so much. That reference pack is an incredible gift - thank you :) Really solves the problem of finding reference to practice from!!!
I have heard all of the things in this video before, but this is legitimately the best video at illustrating them all and showing how to immediately apply them that I have ever seen, ever. I had immediate improvement just from watching this video. As soon as I get enough money, I am buying the rest of this course.
@@TeamBradley I was going to send an email asking this question about art camp, but I think others might benefit from this knowledge as well. Does paying for art camp guarantee critiques from you on the exercises?
@@TeamBradley Thanks for replying! Sorry one more question. Are the live courses run yearly? I can't seem to find this info on the website. It's really hard to find art teachers that focus so heavily on drawing from imagination. Btw, I didn't even realize it until today, but I recognize your work from MTG! Thats amazing. Yawgmoth's Vile Offering is one of my favorite works of art from the game. And I have a deck that uses Prophetic Prism.
Noah Bradley Aww well hopefully I’ll be able to sign up for that one too. It may be expensive but it definitely beats the price of art school. Especially if all of the lessons are as helpful as this one. Thank you for taking the time to reply!
i fell asleep at 5:00 in the morning, and one of this dudes other videos were playing. so i tapped on the arrow and saw that i had watched this. a 2 hour video. FUN
This maybe be a long shot and I know this video is 3 years old but I just seen it for the first time. I really like the video and subscribed so I can continue to follow. I would like to get the kyles perspective brush that you used but cannot find it. I don’t know if they took it out or what? I downloaded the mega pack it was noy in it. Did you get it somewhere else? Thank you in advance.
There’s so much passive aggressive sass in this video 😂 “When people draw their little skies with their little landscapes” Lol this video is super informative!
where is there "passive aggression"? ever thought about that passive aggression as something subjective? Means: in the moment you define something as "passive agression" - it touches only you within your bubble. Do you paint Landscapes and Skies? Do you like it? Otherwise i really have not even a bit idea why *you* could define these words as "passive agression".
This is such a great video...why have i never come across this before?? just got myself a pen and downloaded autodesk scetchbook.im looking forward to implementing these lessons. Thank you.
Can you name for me the actual feelings you feel when you describe yourself as called out? Would it be like ashamed, embarrassed, angry? Or how do you experience it?
@@elsagrace3893 lol this is such a weird thing to be asked 9 months after I make a comment. I can't remember honestly. I was probably on the embarrassed side I guess? I had to look up that part of the video where he even talks about it, and it was probably when he's talking about the stupid looking roots. But most importantly I just thought it would be a funny comment.
@@elsagrace3893 if I were to put myself in Crazy's shoes (wow that was a weird sentence) I would reckon that having this on in the background, I'd assume it was during a session or relating to one of drawing, specifically landscapes. So when one is focused on one activity, namely drawing or reading, we have dedicated a large portion of our attention to said activity. The remaining essential/survival attention span with our other senses will respond quickly and sharply if we feel threatened or if we know someone or something has targeted an area of weakness. So by deduction, I could assume that Crazy felt "exposed" as did I the minute the video started.
Great vid Noah! Can I ask, or those custom brushes, Kyle brushes or something else? I'm looking for some good quality textured/painterly brushes like what you were using
Noah Bradley : Make a horizon line …. It’s very easy … you can do it …. It’s just a line Me : Trying to draw a simple line ↘️↙️↖️↪️↩️ Ahh man I’m hopeless 😃😌✋
Hey! I don't even do photoshop and got sucked into this class. It just happened to be on the TV this morning after my 8 year old daughter fell asleep watching youtube last night. Great thing youtube keeps running cause I may have never found you. Even my husband who is a data analyst and retired from the Army said he was sucked in earlier in the morning before I can down. For 2 adults to be sucked into a teaching video for a program neither even uses or knows how to use is pretty impressive. Obviously you know that with over a million views, but the way you show the layers and coloring of the big shapes down to details I crazy informative in so may ways. I have a big issue creating depth manually. I'm an Alcohol Ink Artist so luckily the inks do that for me, but I do struggle when creating other things to go with my art and this is super helpful. We will be playing your videos nightly while working on our hobbies to learn what we can learn. Thank you so much! We appreciate you!
or you can press M and select rectangular area then G to select gradient tool (shift G to switch it to paint bucket tool) and fill the area with the color of your choice. Ctrl D to unselect the area. there are a lot of different ways aswell, for example you can ignore pant bucket and fill the selection by pressing Alt+backspace but you need both hands for that thats why bucket is faster
Lol a science teacher friend said hat the ocean was clear it only reflected the sky that's why it's blue and in my mind I'm already explaining to him the fundamentals of chemistry, physics and etc and it made it even harder for me to hold back on saying that helium is actually mother frekin blue(ish) along with neon and argon.
9:21 Btw Noah , i really love works of Ruan Jia and I've seen that he uses a lot of contrast and he uses almost all the value range from full black to full white.
Thanks Noah, there is some great information here even for the more advanced artists! Really appreciate the reference pack you are sharing. Kudos from Sydney
Been working on landscapes for almost a year now, and the advice at 18:25 really blew me away. Thanks for the free video, thinking about doing art camp this summer after school's out!
Does any one know at what image size this document is at? If I set things up the same I have a lot of pixelation when I zoom into one of the gray squares. I'm working with a 4k image size with 300dpi , thanks guys!
This video singlehandedly explained value scales, overlapping shapes, and aerial perspective to me. I would say it massively contributed to my progression as an artist as a whole... it's applicable to every aspect of painting. amazing stuff. Thank you so much for the free content!!!!!
Finally someone illustrating how to do these instead of just speed painting and then all of a sudden some amazing middle earth comes up! I wish i could buy this course right now. This free video told me more than i couldve imagined!
shazar javed , Ive watched so many speedpaintings labeled tutorial and was only discouraged further as it was rapid painting and no explanations with amazing results , difficult to learn from them haha
To sum up, 1 - Simplify landscapes in 3 values (eg: light sky, mid ground, dark foreground) 2- Adding more values (but make sure you keep the former 3 values separated) (don’t care about details too much, focus on creating shapes) 3- Perspectives 3.1- Linear perspectives: use da grid 3.2- Atmospheric perspectives: creating depths Ways to create depths: - Make things smaller - make things lighter - using repetitive objects + linear perspectives - overlaying 4. Challenge yourself with imaginary landscapes
The way I do it is by painting on top of the gray with a color that has the same value, no Blending modes. I just repaint everything again, on top of the grayscale, but making sure I keep the value. Saturation is a different subject. I try to either make the things in the shadow more saturated, or in the light, not both. And my focal point will always be a bit more intense than the rest of the painting. Also if you are painting digitally, keep in mind that screen colors act different than pigment colors (than paint). Cyan, Magenta and Yellow are brighter than Red Green and Blue, so a Cyan at 50% value will look brighter than a Blue at 50% value, even though they are the same when reduced to grayscale. A fact to remember is that if you mix primary colors in light the result will be white, while if you mix primary colors in paint the result will be black. Hope that helps.
