How do you figure out what color you want to use to draw your line art for portraits? You usually pick one color. So how do you choose THAT specific color to draw the WHOLE portrait with these other colors, that you'll paint with, that need to work well with it?

Guys, he may have glossed over the technicalities, but a man needs his bread and butter. If he makes a 2 hour video showing all his methods to us, how is he going to get patreons who donate and get extensive tutorials? Despite being limited, the tips are quite solid. It's up to our practice to refine them.

same here. I'm gonna look up all the resources many artist do past and the present on info like this.

Personally, I would want to live in an enviroment filled with huge bubbles and loads of floating mountains flourised with trees. The bubbles would have been naturally produce by nearby waterfalls and people would take advantage of it's size to use it as transportation to reach their houses in the trees. It could reach certain heights and would only pop once it hits the ground/flat surface. Please note that it is 2:00 a.m for me, so if there is any error or it's sounds too weird, I'll let future me respond or somethingg

Would love to see more on landscapes. Things like how to do rocks and mountains, grass, trees, etc. I'd really like to develop my fantasy landscape skills.

Geologist here who tries to reconstruct ancient landscapes by studying sedimentary rocks. This is INCREDIBLY helpful for artwork in scientific papers, thanks!

Literally learning this at university for animation at the moment, you explain it so well this is really helpful!

would anyone recommend start drawing landscapes traditionally first? I usually work digitally but I've been trying to finish a drawing of mine for a speed paint video and I can only get the characters right, or maybe I need to try more brushes.... what do you think?

I'd say get the basics down digitally, and then try traditional. Traditional drawing is typically harder so it'll be a great way to refine your skills! :D

I recommend using both to draw, of course you don't need to do a piece using both, but never stay just in digital or traditional, if you think that you can draw a better landscape traditionally go for it and then scan it after.

This is so helpful vids like these should be top

I love the way how u simplify things makes everything easy to understand in art

2:46 "it's like, AAAAAH!" what a description 😆

The moment when Ross Tran reminds you of Bob Ross, with a lot of Color Dodge Really liking your vids, man, keep it up!

YES OMG THANK YOU THANK YOU! I've been struggling so much for landscapes, being fairly new to the topic! You're awesome!

Everytime I see Ross's progress in these illustration, it really feels like he has magic poured into these pieces. I find it really amazing how he turns a blank canvas into something so gorgeous. Drawing background and landscape has always been one of my weakest points in drawing so this really helped a lot and inspired me to work harder in my art journey. Hope to see more art tips and keep up the good work Ross!

I have been reading graphic novel almost my whole life. I love graphic novel because I love to look their art how their art of character, the colouring, the background character, I love it but your art, the character, the background your art have kick all graphic novel art I've been reading feels like whole other level. Your drawing and colouring make me wanna dance on flat land with beautiful grasses and flowers. It's making me fall from the sky with big smile and shout wooohooo. Your the best. I wanna watch more 😍

When we are talking about environments that really spoke to us, I'm always gonna remember the floating mountains on Pandora . They are absolutely magnificent and stunning, just as much as they are calming. I could always imagine living there in a small hut and gazing at the vast horizon🌄 But I think they could definitely use some more less dangerous flora and fauna 😂 Another great environment would be a cave filled with old rocks covered in moss. In between them small rivers and lakes and on the shores dozents of lilies would bloom🌊🌸

Ross you are my biggest inspiration and why I started to draw seriously this year. I love this type of informative content from you, I hope you do more in the future 💕 much love from Canada.

I've been watching your videos on-and-off for years so seeing you finally have your characters be in a book makes me so excited. I've wanted to know what they're about forever and now, I finally do! Yaaaaay! Good luck with the release!

I would like to live in a slightly cool environment, but in a large hole underground with many exits or entrances to other elemental environments; with many elemental bunnies to live with all of them

This reminds me of the Daylight Prairie in Sky and I love it so much

Really helpful tips, i've been re-vamping some worlds that I have and you so happen to be pushing content that benefits this, really appreciate it man.

His style of landscapes is truly one of my favs

I love these tips you are posting lately!! I am actually penning along😊 Thank you so much for doing these!❤️

I was waiting for this landscape video❤️😍.. Now I can finish my portfolio with an epic landscape!!

You make it seem so easy, you’re sooo talented Ross! I hope one day I can draw like you can c:

I really like your lesson videos! They are so helpful and I learn a lot! But the most important thing is that they are not boring. A lot of videos for learning how to draw can be so boring, I can't keep watching them for long. But your videos are so interesting I can watch them all!

I would live in a spring-ish grassland with waterfall, lakes, and mountain surrounding with a galactic sky, a paradise that is too wonderful to be true... love landscapes and also your work

The tutorial is helpful, his art is majestic and most importantly, wholesome doggo Also i really love the sound effects

I can’t say this is the first time I’ve watched this, and I bet it’s not the last. You can get so many more takeaways if you rewatch it again a little while later. Thank you!

I find it crazy that I watched this a few months ago and didn't really understand, and now, after doing more studies, it makes so much more sense

I absolutely LOVED your style of teaching😍 so simple, energetic, and clear! Instant subscribe!

I would be so cool to relax on a tropical beach, sort of closed off from the world, like a small inlet surrounded by high cliffs and palm trees. Thanks for these tips! They are really helpful and I definitely want to practice drawing more landscapes!

It feels like I learn more from you rather than I did in school. Thank you for uploading these incredible videos. You're spreading the joy of art and that's beautiful!

Thank you for the tips! Would love a more detailed tutorial in the future! It's been pretty cold and crazy here, so I wouldn't mind going to a warm, relaxing beach with the sound of soft waves on the sand.

I've following these videos for over a year and find them all very insightful and creative. I hope that one day I could actually use these videos as helpful references

These tips are short and sweet, right to the point. Really awesome video!

I was so looking forward to this video! :D

Super helpful! Thanks Ross !

YEY!!!! another lesson!!! thanks senpai Ross!

The elemental environment that I would be in is a beautiful field with long grass with the mountains in the in the distance. Whenever the breeze blows, you'll feel free. I think that's the best for me anyways. Also, Ross I love your videos and you inspire me! Thank you!

I feel like these videos are more helpful than others in general that says common things that most of us know, this one actually really helps.

omg yes. it was amazing and all the tips were valid AF. please give us more of environment tutorial videos.

For me it'd be like a marianas trench but arctic version, sorta in the bottom of the sea were the glaciers start growing. You explain everything sO WELL!! Thank you for your videos!!! ❤️❤️

Yay landscape tutorial has arrived! Thanks :D

Your love for colour dodge is inspiring

This was so useful! You are the man! 👌

Wow the landscape looks amazing!! These tips were extremely helpful!! I personally would love to live in an underwater world. I've always loved water ever since I was a smol bean and I've been swimming since I was six! I feel like the ocean is just the perfect place for me.

Awesome vid, thanks Ross!!

wonderful - enjoy watching you draw and colour

Wow, now im practice this. Good job

I would wanna live in like a combined landscape. I love to ski, so snowy mountains would be cool. But I mean like hot snow. It´s weird to think about but would be awesome!

To me all those tips are great, but like for me I go to paint a landscape and I just don't know what or how to render them. I see a lot of artist just 'render' stuff with no explanation. I'd like to see tips or rendering or improving details. Luv u❤️

I would absolutely love to live in a rain environment, maybe like a planet that is always raining! Then have the whole space be very hydro powered to utilise the natural resources of the planet and also prevent flooding, this may or may not be a part of the story I’m developing at the moment 😅 and its all floating islands and water beneath, a very happy community and life is situated around the weather conditions with an entire seperate community living under the surface in the water, kind of Atlantis inspired but more normalised and tech motivated, I ramble sorry, I’m very excited for my own story since it’s getting close actuality, so I can relate to Ross’ hype about Nima at the moment, can’t wait for it to come out!!! 🙌🏽

Just when I needed this ! Thank youuuuu

your advice is so good

My birthday is on June 15th and I'm for sure gonna get the Nima book and also bloom to support you keep doing what u do because I love it

This is great man!!

Great video and very informative, thank you!!

I would live in a Foggy forest. Where is a lot of moist and a lot of trees. I feel like it's the best that nature gets. Dark brown is one of the prettiest colors, and how the green of the trees go with it. That's exciting.

Wow, thanks for the tips, i'm glad that i found your channel .

I've never really had the time to learn to draw, although I would like to be able to. You made this look so simple though, I'll have to give it a try someday. I have an entire world I've built in my mind, but I have no way to properly share it with others, so I'd love to have the ability to show others what the places and characters look like! As for the question, there are two environments I've always thought sounded amazing. One is environments high up in the sky, such as the top of mountains or floating islands, either being above the clouds or looking down at an endless expanse of other beautiful landscapes. The other is a dense forest of huge trees, where you can both find a hidden nook to relax in, and leap between branches for travel.

You’re such a great story teller!

You help us soooo much! ♥♥♥♥ Thank youuu

Goood!!! Thanks!! The enviroments and landscapes are my weakest point, but these tips have helped me a lot. thanks!!
