I think you're the first artist I've ever heard suggest to beginners to move to digital early! Most instructors are adamant about learning fundamentals in traditional media before ever touching a tablet. I see their point, but I think you also make a compelling argument about being able to experiment and iterate quickly and without waste. Regardless I appreciate the alternate perspective. You're one of the best painting teachers I've found on KZfaq and I'm excited to start exploring your website content.

The "do what feels right" advice resonates with me the most because I was taught to always do precise measurements. Being so strick about everything kills the fun out of making art for me. I know that some people enjoy being very precise but it's freeing to hear that their method isn't the only right one.

This has set me free. Your suggestion of don't worry about measuring, mannequins or studying an entire textbook. I just want to start my character, slap it onto the page and once it's set up, then I can eyeball my anatomy and proportion and use my reference(s). Thank Hardy. And yes I also bought you Udemy course on Character Concepts. Now I feel I am able to move forward. Thanks

Great channel! Actually I've taken up all of Your courses so far and thus I've subscribed as I know that Your content is going to be a gem! Good luck with Your channel Mr. Hardy!

great explanation of the muscle span over joints! I have never thought of it that way, even though i use very "flowy" strokes when i draw muscles, this makes me think much more in the dynamics instead of the structure... if that makes sense :D May I ask if you have time for a livestream sometime, maybe where you just throw some lines of something you feel like drawing that day?

Hi, Hardy. I am a big fan of yours. I found you on Udemy and I gradually buy more and more of your courses, because I just can't get enough of it. Also many thanks for adding these cool videos on youtube - it really helps us to overcome quarantine in a positive and productive mood! :) Stay safe! PS: As a student of medicine I really do appreciate this video :D Update: I just bought them all :D

i completed every single course of yours in skillshare , you're simply brilliant , bit of a bummer , i thought you had some toutorials here in youtube ... neverrtheless keep up the good work

Great content, thanks for the advice and ive got all your tutorials. Its great to seenyou on youtube and im sure youll start gathering more following soon.

i really apreciate your videos tutorials. Its amazing the way how easily you teach. Thx

Your artwork is really interesting and beautiful

Thanks for sharing this lessons with us, ur classes are such amazing!

absolutely amazing

Those measurement standards kind of go out the window too with any sort of foreshortening and how the forms distort and overlap. I've noticed that using liquify doesn't take away from my learning proportion either, if anything being able to correct my mistakes, I've become alot quicker at spotting what I did wrong and making my initial marks more accurately. Huge learning tool with such a weird misconception that it does all the work for you.

Thanks, Hardy! Very nice tips on studying anatomy. :)

awesome big fan of you art and courses!

Thx for lesson 👏👋

Hi Mr Fowler, you have this technique of using gradients (gradient tool) in conjunction with color blending. Is there any chance you could do a video focusing on how you combine those techniques? If so, could you slow it down for us newbies - you go very fast! Thanks very much for everything you do! You're a wonderful artist sir!

Hey guys, I just tried to use the liquify tool on photoshop and it takes me to a new window and seems to destroy any lines when I am pushing things around, is there something I am doing wrong?

I'm curious how you brush is set up to get those values? You don't seem to be selecting colors. Is that just a low opacity brush? I've recently moved to digital art and the techniques are so different then traditional

Hi, Hardy Found you from Udemy and conceptartempire I am very much new to drawing, started last month only with the aim to be a concept artist. Your courses looks awesome and going to purchased them... My main question before I start your courses, do I need to learn fundamentals like form, perspective, etc or you teach them in your courses? And if yes how should I begin with your courses. Thanks

I think it would be helpful to zoom in on occasion.

Hi hardy can you make a video how to painting ice materials or any of your courses have the video about it ? and your channel should have more subs
