[@aikitonine1483]

I'm eating up C, and especially the B version, but maybe it's because Hollow's character's sticks out, BUT A?!?!! I LOVE VERSION A TOO!!!

[@lidsf2lidia]

I love your painterly work so much, really appreciate showing your workflow

[@RossDraws]

of course!!!!

[@harusu8610]

it's so refreshing to see someone actually loves doing what they're doing :)

[@BadPractices]

I watch a lot of art videos, but nobody makes painting look as fun as Ross.

[@filmore4537]

The barber is the mvp in this video

[@Phoebe-yn9jr]

Ross really embodies the fun and absolute joy of creating art. From playing with brushes and experimenting with various tools to eventually reaching suprising results!! I've been exposed to too much art content that are just focused on showcasing a structured path to reach results so coming back to this channel was really refreshing ❤❤❤

[@i_nia]

Hey Ross, i have been following you for about 6 years maybe. I just wanna say, thank you for coming back and making these videos. I am not much of an artist, but I used draw following your tutorials back in the Covid days. I remember you probably used to upload on Wednesdays, and I would jump right back to drawing every time you upload new videos. You gave me inspirations for drawing as well as for living a life. I loved how positive you are and always spreading happy thoughts through your videos. It gave me motivation to not go in any dark spaces. I live in Bangladesh, not sure if you'd notice this comment. I hope to get a chance to meet you in the future. Thank you so much for keeping us involved with your art journey. - Zinia

[@Slothups]

I hope you're in a better place in your life now Zinia🫶

[@nastasia_b]

Ross's reaction to textures is smth 😂❤

[@RossDraws]

we 👏🏻 love 👏🏻 textures! 👏🏻

[@nobody-can-kn0w]

I wasn’t expecting it since most videos like this don’t help me but this was actually both fun and helpful. Thanks Ross

[@__cosmicstar__]

I really like drawing B because the side profile just fits. I like how I can see the piano better as well!! 🎹🍀✨

[@akivillion2434]

I first found Ross in 2021 when I just got into digital art, and it's cool coming back, actually having a deeper understanding on his videos, and thinking of ways to apply them. Thanks for the techniques!

[@AlexanderG25]

It's so epic to see that even the already-established artists still continuing to develop their artistic style and voice with new techniques and experimentation. this video was a really nice surprise, we've all missed you! Continue to take the time you need.

[@quacknice]

Beautiful beautiful beautiful beautiful i have no words to describe how your art of hollow is moving me bro i appreciate your hard work and the effort you put in each piece i hope i will get to your level someday The anatomy is on point and rendering brings butterflies to my stomach The colors are amazing and omg I can’t stop talking Anyways i love your art keep going

[@SakkusMind]

I'm in love with a painterly brush heavy style, this was super interesting! Thanks Ross, glad to see you back :)

[@ChantelleArts]

I don't even draw digitally, I just like watching you draw ☺

[@NnamdiUbah]

He's really good for real

[@microwavedtom5076]

B is my favourite. It feels much more impactful when you see the character lean and the characteristics of the whole figure much better. The composition is more dynamic than the ones beside it with also the trees intercepting the wood as it reaches the viewers eyes. The middle one embodies an emotionally damaged child that contrasts from the scene very well.

[@Loves.agamer]

Ngl I'm kinda vibing with c 👀 You've been one my biggest inspirations along with Sam. So glad your back to posting

[@myshro2114]

I love how you make videos. They're always really polished and fun to watch, like they're really filled with love, and they also teach techniques that I haven't seen anyone else use or talk about before... maybe I just need to be an artist for longer... Also, I personally like B the best. The composition of Hollow being turned away from the viewer along with his posture really evokes that feeling of not being good enough and unable to look one's audience in the eye. Plus, I think B does the best at showing that the sketchiness is actually on the tree and not just wisps or spirits or something emanating from Hollow.

[@jessicasunar2399]

11:03 Tbh I reeeeaaally love look C out of the three. Obviously each one of them are a masterpiece on their own- but the third…oh gosh the way it’s so captivating. Perhaps it the atmosphere that you captured so well? Like the rendering of the foreground that leads the eye to the subject in the middle. THE LIGHTING!! And I personally think the lesser details on the tree gives that depth, its back in space without having that “too much blur” look. Still looking at how well you are able to do color notes on different parts of the painting and making it feel so alive😭 this is so specific but that hint of blue (or maybe it’s a cool gray?) that is on the Lower left side of the tree, is so satisfying to look at. You’re so amazing😭

[@Kayleenv18]

Love seeing videos from you again Ross!!! You are so loved! Also so awesome to see these tips from you ☺️

[@machidraws1]

welcome back !!!!!

[@Paintology]

Painterly techniques are possible by using just one brush and selecting the opacity setting of the brush. The zoom feature allows you to get really close and make realistic drawings right on your phone!

[@himignicest1571]

LETS GO ROSS bro i seriously an loving this video, thank u for the nom nom content, the fact that u get to make videos for us is crazy YIPEEEE i miss u!! LETS GOO

[@HoneyballLP]

OMG I love all of them so much!

[@LucumLuftra]

B feels more dynamic. And the imagery is clearly on the tree where as in A i couldn't tell if it was floating in front or not. Additionally B has a much more interesting composition. You still have him in the middle, but now we also have the rule of thirds (vertically) with the tree and not just from the ground plane

[@datnastysalad5616]

Something about a video like this is so helpful - seeing it work into a full process. I've been aware of these tools for a long time, but never knew how to work them into a painting process beyond the earliest stages. Seeing how you employ each one visually helps it make sense for me. Great tutorial Ross! :)

[@smollamb2666]

I really love option B it really seems like hes thinking about something and the pose makes a very nice silhouette (I love triangles) :)

[@Towel-Man]

I really like the composition of B, as well as the story being told in A. The composition of B guides my eyes through the image in a pleasant way and my attention is drawn towards the character and what he's doing. In A, the drawings and objects hanging from the tree are more in focus and seem connected to the character since he's in the center of it all. A, makes me wonder more about the character, his expression, and the tree. B, draws my attention more towards the world and asks what the character is doing there.

[@sashawang5242]

No one inspired me to draw as much as Ross, his love for drawing process soooo contagious!

[@wisahkecahk4053]

Eraser with texture!!!! Cloud brushes for dappled light!!!!! I have learned so much already!!!!!! Thank you!!!!!!

[@RossDraws]

I AM GLAD!!!

[@darlingq6028]

i've been struggling so hard with making backgrounds so tysm for sharing these tips!! i definitely think i like b the best because of how Hollow stands out against the bright background, it adds some really nice contrast. he looks so cool!

[@freewilll3406]

So glad he's back❤

[@andurion4509]

Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with us and it fills my heart with joy when I see how happy you are about individual brushstrokes. Soo beautiful All three variants are fantastic, but my clear favorite is C

[@artdipity]

ROSS POSTED!! HAPPY FRIDAY EVERYONE!! I love version B so much, it's very 'RossDraws' 🌱❤️

[@TiredHarem]

Personally prefer C. Thank you for the tips!!!

[@TsubasaAnimations]

That perspective lighting trick looked so good

[@jackmiller5814]

I like all of the designs, but piece B really speaks to me. I don't know way, but it does.

[@Yuemitai]

The c one is my favourite. Really awesome and has this really interesting vibe to it, like ghibli.

[@RakugakiRebel]

I love this new style of video, a lot more relaxed and a bit of insight on what happens behind the curtain

[@foxesofautumn]

My favourite is B. I really like the contrast and how the figure stands out. Thanks for the handy tips!

[@invernofuyu2542]

Please photobashing tutorial! PLEASE!

[@kari_matles]

As someone who watches you from 2016, I'm so happy you're back 🩷 Your works still inspire till this day.

[@laurenzielinski8090]

THANK YOU ROSS!!!! Super appreciate you breaking this technique down in an easy to learn quick video! Defintetly would love to see the photobash techniques too.

[@DanielIbanez]

Great to see you back! Painterly digital art is my absolute focus. If you ever want to try out my brushes let me know! Thank you for all the wonderful inspiration!

[@__cosmicstar__]

I’m so happy you’re back into the swing of things making new video Ross!! I’m still glad you too time to take care of yourself!! Can’t wait for more amazing video to watch that make me super happy!! 💕✨

[@NikoNoxmelon]

Really appreciate the tutorial ! It’s a really smart technique and it’s definitely much easier than just working on the painting straight away. Really love your work and it’s been part of my inspiration in my own art career ^^ welcome back Ross :P👍

[@oliverniko8366]

Haha I've been returning to art bit by bit and your reactions to textures are so relatable! I've been trying out Procreate and I feel like a kid again exploring new brushes. Using cloud brushes for more than just clouds is a bit obvious now you've said it, because they have such varied textures, but I've never considered it before. So cool!

[@ChessSocialism]

Babe, the new Raw Straws (Ross Draws) video just dropped.

[@kanachiaki]

Really like version B, the side profile, the pose, the majestic tree, so good!!

[@sp47208AJ]

Welcome back Ross! B is definitely my favorite! Yes to the photobashing video!!

[@terminallytoast8529]

had a huge smile on my face the whole way through. SO GLAD YOURE BACKKKKK

[@Lunark_]

i think this the best digital style of painting i ever seen, it has so much personality, ❤ ur content new sub

[@RinnErenaeth]

My favorites are B and C. B because it feels so soothing to me. While C feels, idk how to properly describe it, but alive...? Harmonic?? Like I said, not sure how to describe it, but it is my absolute favorite out of the three!! Lastly, A, is a little too chaotic for my taste. Love the tutorial and tips tho and will definitely use that next time!!

[@zeldita2610]

Painterly style sin digital has always been so beautiful to me, thanks for the tips!

[@Babl069]

one thing I love when doing backgrounds to make em more painterly is to use a square brush. For some reason I just vibe with that. I'll have to try to jam these into my memory bank. :D

[@reisart]

The Color Dodge King!!!!!!!!!! Thank you so much for your vídeos!!!!!!!! =)

[@hiddenwings91]

B is doing it for me too. Thanks Ross you always make me smile.

[@cryyuni]

Thank you so much!! I do some of these already, but seeing them in your process truly helped me see how useful they are

[@obblez]

i first watched your videos probably 8 or so years ago when i was first practicing digital art, it's so nice to see that you're still active!!! definitely learned some new tricks that i'm excited to try, thank you for being an inspiration :D

[@Giveup12]

I like the vibe of B and C Your videos are really awesome and really enjoying to watch

[@kitfuzzywhiskers]

I really appreciate you sharing the techniques most people won’t. In reference to the nervous laughter joke, I doubt people will start ripping you off just cause they learned some new techniques. It’ll manifest in new weird ways that are probably unexpected and really cool❤

[@otaene137]

Your hair is looking really good now, I'm gad you could fix it! You look very happy, it's nice to see you like this, hope you're doing great now, love you work! Your dog is amazing!

yes amazing!! so happy you're back, cant wait to see all your projects you inspire me!!

[@ArtSawce]

foundation + tools + talent = a good artist

[@RossDraws]

😘

[@missseaweed2462]

I may amend this with "Foundation + Tools + Time = A good artist"! But I do get that the underlying fuel of one's own creative vision may lend to the idea of talent being important, too.

[@zappasmoustache23]

Hi new to your channel. I’ve watched so many of these kind of videos and this is the first that I’ve felt actually gives good useful tips. I feel like not enough artists understand what a huge difference blending modes can make to a piece of work. Love your enthusiasm too. Thanks for sharing.

It's wonderful having you back, Ross! I just started on my own digital painting journey recently after years of thinking I couldn't do it (I still love my markers and paints but it's fun to expand out!) These tips will be super helpful as I keep on exploring this new medium. My husband cuts his own hair, but it's only after years of practice, and I still even out the back for him. Maybe you can train Milo to help you out?! 😂
