    11:21 Those "cinematic bars" are a product of the filmmography process called letterboxing where the laterally compressed digital footage yielded by anamorphic lens cameras are stretched to cinematic aspect ratios (e.g., 2.39:1); emulating the field of view of human eyes which gives people a subconscious feeling of naturality and familiarity with a scene.

    Man I wasn't looking, but I needed this right now. I've been practicing my art style for an indie game I plan on developing, but I've been really intimidated by the thought of trying to draw out a full scene. I was worrying maybe I'd use lines wrong, or maybe I'd get the colors off, among many other things. This video just really helped build my confidence. I definitely believe I can do this now, thank you.

    Hi Thomas! Thanks for the video - it greatly illustrates how professional you are. But as a tutorial, I think it is not really good. Sorry :( I suck at art - and I don't know the theory of opposite colors. Where did you get colors at 4:55? How do I choose the opposite color for my custom one? Then a bit at 6:00 about saturation also did not make a lot of sense to me. How did you choose that color? I also did not get a lot of your manipulations with color overlays and Photoshop in general. But that's probably me being stupid.
