I think this is underrated. The fact that you're doing MASTERCLASSES for FREE is so generous! It really helps because a lot of us don't have the money for usual master classes or skillshare. Thank you Ross, for not only providing education but also enjoyable entertainment❤❤❤

I love how he's so excited to show us the techniques he was gonna teach but still have the self control to save it for later 😂

14:24 _You know you're good when you flip your canvas and everything is fine_ 😅

What the heck. People usually want money for this i thought it was a preview. Amazing job mate

Circles... I drew circles According to my mom my parents had notebooks upon notebooks, filled with absolutely nothing, but circles.

I really like the way you're constantly saying, "It looks great" "Wow great effect!", it makes me feel like you love your drawings, and it's something that we should do when we paint and draw. Thank you !

Ross:"Don't blow it out of proportion"; Continues to color dodge over half the character. Me: This man is an addict. Color Dodge Addict.

Ross: Something super simple, don't blow it out! This is still our foundational structure! Also Ross: *covers whole piece in color dodge*

i started drawing Disney char's in the 60s and went on to charlie brown and snoopy ended up hand-painting signs for business's when i was 13 then moved to tattooing when i was 16 wasnt until i was in my mid 30s i went to art college now I'm moving into digital arts at 60 cant wait for my xp-pen 22r pro to get here

Found this channel a week ago and I love it. He’s giving out great tips FOR FREE and the way he talks feels like he’s your friend and he’s wants to teach this information which feels so comforting

hell yea a new masterclass episode (can we jus talk about the production quality of this series tho props to u ross, ur such an inspiration to me!!💛)

18:01 he always gravitated towards stars I love how he made a joke without even knowing XD

I swear this guy's energy is on another level! I feel like it raised my vibration.

I've just discovered this series and I can tell this is the right intermediate to advanced level of info that I've always been seeking since literally 90% of the videos and tutorials out there is for beginner level. Thank you so much for this awesome seires

(Notes - How Ross Colors Skin) 1. Use a reference, taking note of light and shadow 2. Uses a round brush at 75%~ softness 3. Adds highlights + color from the sky (or other surroundings) 3.5. Remembers basics (direction of light source, awareness of 3D forms)

Still can't believe that all of this is free, also I like the way how good you explain everything. Many tutorials and masterclasses are way too complicated...

Man I really like your tutorials, they really show the complete process involved with doing something and don’t just focus on the drawing itself but also shows everything else that can help you improve your art. You are a great teacher!

The tip about dark accents and anime made me finally realize why anime is drawn the way it is. Was wondering about that for a long time :p

You’re digital art it’s impressive 🤘✨

Ross: i've always gravitated towards the sky Physics teacher: i don't think you understood the point of gravitation, ross

I am always rewatching and rewatching your videos to refine my art. Thank you!

This is some kind of an art teacher that I sooooo badly wanted. 😍🙈 Not those in schools who were like "Okay class, research about bla bla bla bla bla." and we were like "here we go again" *rolls eyes*

I remember that when I was younger, I loved drawing trash cans. I don’t know why, I just loved the roundness. And I’m talking classic cartoon trash cans. The tin ones with the saucer cover. Those were so fun to draw

Yes, I'm twelvth! Hi Ross, me your fan from Malaysia. ✋😊

Honestly Ross, you're a life saver. Thank you sooooo much for being so generous and providing us such quality information while making it fun. I still cant believe the fact that I'm watching this for free. Youre the best :)

The world needs you! You're such an inspiration and I just love watching your videos and seeing the work you do. It's really amazing and I just wanted to share that.

You make art seem so doable... It's really inspiring :)

I can’t believe you don’t have a million yet! ;-;

Just realized that he used basically red and blue for the skin, and I'm totally blown up. Also, I feel like I'll have to watch this at least two more times to get all I can from it, cause it just feels like there's new tips and information in every minute of the video

I have seen so many tutorials but i'v never seen one that explains in such a simply but effective way as these tutorials do. Thank you so much Ross.!! also thank you for sharing a few of your special secret powers that you use to make look amazing. ❤️

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa even if i didnt even start the video i know it will be amazing Thank you again for making these videos ♡♡♡

I just discovered your videos. Are you're honestly such a saver. I have so much motivation to become an animator in the futur as my job. And I always had a bit of hard times with tutorials that do not explain really well. But yours are incredible! I weirdly feel like, I'm actually CAPABLE of drawing well if I try hard enough and listen carefully! My holidays are coming in about a month and I know I'm gonna spend all of it on practicing drawing! Thank you so much for making this free, and your art is just gorgeous. ♡

MIND BLOWN!!! Learnt a gazillion things from this video. Now need to watch the rest! 👍🏻😘🎁

As soon as he talked about the inspo board I got so many inspirations from pictures I've seen from animals and nature photography

13:15 He literally just summed up every paint brush tutorial with a few sentences. This saved me from worrying about downloading a whole library of paintbrushes thanks Ross!

His drawings always look so good you think it couldn't be better... and then he shows the actual image rather than just the recording of his screen

I love mood boards!💕 They help me so much for character designs. 😊

I loved to draw when I was young, then I grew up, became an engineer and got a very stressful job and dropped drawing... but you and other artists in youtube got me drawing again. Thank you!

Im loving this course, and it will definitely help me with my drawings! Thanks Ross!

I just came across your work and videos today and I am so glad that I have. You radiate such positive energy that really makes me want to just draw as much as I can. The fact that you're releasing such a useful series free of charge is incredible and shows how thoughtful you are of artists who need this guidance! Thank you very much for uploading these!

So glad to have stumbled on your channel, the quality and general "feel" of your content is top shelf! Great work!

This is probably the best tutorial for portraits in digital art I've ever watched, thanks so much for this.

I'm a chilean professional illustrator for many years, but nowadays I'm changing my art, looking for new horizons, and the most important, no more lineart in my life haha It has always been difficult for me to eliminate the lineart and do something more "realistic", your videos are of great help for me, I can observe the technique that you use and try to improve, really Muchas gracias amigo!

Ross Draws is the only art instructor you’ll ever need ❤️🙌🏾

This is a tutorial that I genuinely enjoyed watching just for the sake of watching. Some really neat tips in here, too. Thanks for doing what you do.

Who needs to go to art school when you have Ross draws to teach you

Ahhhh omg I love this series - it’s so helpful

Not only do i love your art and how well you teach but I also loveee your energy!

i followed along and did my own. woww this really helped and it came out well. thank u!

great video, very didactic, could you tell me what resolution do you use for your drawings? i wish i understood english to learn a bit

Your enthusiasm is simply contagious! Great video!

I'm so glad I happened to find you. I've learned a lot in what I've seen so far. I really want to bring my character to life more and evoke more emotion in her art.

Bro, I love your energy. You put so much emotion on your art.

The way he draw that big circle ⭕️ god damn 😭

I feel like in every art tutorial video I watch, there's a point where I feel skill levels jump from 8 to 80. But seriously though, loved the vid, ty so much!

This is so good, you're teaching so many really good techniques, and best of all it's free. I'm so grateful to be able to watch these lessons and actually learn something. Thank you so much

Brillant and inspiring. Thanks to share your knowledge. One of the only thing that have real value.

These have improved my art so much, thank you for making these for free! It's hard to find good courses that are free. Thank you so much Ross!

Hello Ross I love your videos my first video that I watched from you was when you let your mom draw

Thank you so much for creating and providing this content for free. Watching you paint is truly inspiring!

I remember watching this and not truly getting it the first time, but now my mind is more clear and I'm understanding it a lot more. I will us these methods myself and will keep getting better everyday! Thank you! Keep Calm and Yaiyo on!

The thing I remember that I loved drawing was the Power Puff Girls. My mom kept all of my drawings in a folder from when I was 6 and whenever I go back and look at all the Blossoms, Bubbles, and Buttercups I drew it makes me cry tears of joy.♡

YESSS YOU POSTED THANK GOD I LOVE U ROSS DRAW

i absolutely love this ... thx for helping in drawing .... school did nothing for 4 years ... you did everything in one video :D

Thank you for this series. Your energy makes me really inspired and driven. You really are gifted in teaching! Thanks again! I cant wait to use your lessons to improve my work!

gosh i love these master classes!! now i can't wait to get on my computer and paint a portrait!! When i was little i remeber always drawing horses, idk why, but i liked the shape of their faces!

I'm going to put this episode on my mood board. So inspired right now.

I so love you for doing this course. I ve been looking for something like this on youtube for so long. Thank u ❤❤❤

I Love the idea about the mood board!! You're such an inspiration Ross!

Well, technically I'm already a paid artist, I was given $25 back in Elementary School for a picture that I had made, which was something to do with Physical Fitness Drawing Stick figures really does pay the bills

when Ross teaches about the brush softness, remember that if your round brush isn't with the "transfer" option selected it won't gain the same smooth/blending characteristic he shows. :) great video btw

Ty so much! It's nice to see your techniques of the process to help me build and sharpen my own techniques! 💙✊😎💙

wow i really motivated this time, thanks for what you share mr ross ... keep it up

I thought the tablet was just a screen cutout so we could see it better when you explained stuff. BUT NO IT REALY IS THAT BIG

You are such a great artist. And are funny and so positive, I just discovered your channel and I really like your videos. Keep going like that :D

Stunning! I've been wanting to get started with digital art for a long time now but never knew the process. As a kid, I used to sketch and paint a lot but it's a completely different game with digital art. I hope I can someday be as good as you! But thanks a lot for this. It's really helpful! ✨

Gotta love this man and show.. so enjoyable and fun. keep it up

I loved drawing Sonic the Hedgehog. I'm studying Computer Animation and I attribute that passion almost entirely to my childhood adoration of the Sonic CD opening animation.

Omg I never heard about High Pass before and it's such an useful tip!! Thank you so much!!

Love it so muuuuch >O< Ahhh Ross thank you so much for doing these they helpa lot and so much

Ross, your videos have always a special flavor, very entertaining......fun to watch, actually. Thanks a lot for sharing these

Yesss thank you so much!

Thank you so much for this Ross 🙏🏻🙏🏻

Wow the just so beautiful that I might have crush on that painting itself😍

i love your energy. i mean i love the whole video but the energy really helps; it’s really encouraging which a lot of artists that are starting out, or artists of any level i think, need. encouragement. thanks for this!

i loved drawing overwatch characters! their designs are so diverse and they’re so fun to draw!

I remember drawing a lot of Starfire drawings from teen titans when I was younger :) btw thanx so much for the Master Course series!!!:D

If you really want to learn basic techniques -- this channel is really very good. Thank yoouuuuuu. I've learned a lot from you than all of the other tutorials that I've listened to.

I love you Ross, you are an an amazing artist.

DRAGONS! I used to draw a loooooots of dragons in elementary school :D Thank you so much for this course, Ross! It's so super helpful and motivating as always! I just love seeing you paint, super inspiring

What the hell did I just watch?! This was a nice surprise and very informative. I do photography and rarely see photoshop used this way. Just subscribed!

Stunning art man, love your style!

Thank you Ross! I cannot picture things when I close my eyes. I didn’t know artists can use references and assets to help them along. So excited to make my first mood boards!

Main things I learned from this video: • I should use references more and more references when I do. • A better order of drawing things than the one I was trying to use before. • High pass. I knew what it is and how it works (too well perhaps) but had no idea how useful it is for drawing. I know it's an old video, but thank you, Ross.

Damn dude, this is incredibly helpful! Thank you so much, you're awesome!

Ive been seeing ross in my feeds for a long time... i just gave it a chance and was surprised that i learned a lot

I'm kinda starting to get interested with Digital art and planning to buy a drawing tablet. and thank god I found your videos! definitely gonna watch it and learn from it!
