Hey bud love you're art you're so talented.And I am in love with Fe she just looks so awesome.Sjeblooks so much like a strong female character. By the way I'm currently struggling with drawing poses I was hoping you could um 😅👉🏻👈🏻 you could make a tutorial on how to make poses

[@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]

Awesome ❤❤❤

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.

[@nastasia_b]

Ross's reaction to textures is smth 😂❤

[@RossDraws]

we 👏🏻 love 👏🏻 textures! 👏🏻

[@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 ❤❤❤

[@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.

[@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.

[@thcrtn]

As someone who uses a mouse, I like to see folks in their vids use their luxury stylus screens. I'm not at the draw on screen/pc yet I do scan then color my art and it's really fun! I'm gonna use some of these styles to play, can you believe I only use the lasso and round brush to "ink" lol

[@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!

[@__cosmicstar__]

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

[@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

[@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

[@CarrotMuncher]

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

[@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

[@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😭

[@machidraws1]

welcome back !!!!!

[@RossDraws]

🫶🫶🫶

[@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.

[@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

[@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.

[@ChantelleArts]

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

[@NnamdiUbah]

He's really good for real

[@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

[@sashawang5242]

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

[@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! :)

[@ChessSocialism]

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

[@SakkusMind]

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

[@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

[@Kayleenv18]

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

[@Zahk_noodle]

I love B the most, there's so much emotion to it!

[@freewilll3406]

So glad he's back❤

[@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!

[@kari_matles]

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

[@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!

[@kanachiaki]

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

[@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) :)

[@Lunark_]

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

[@foxesofautumn]

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

[@hiddenwings91]

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

[@riyaparia6954]

I can paint traditionally and wondered what wrong i was doing in digital art. The video was very helpful for creating the texture effects. thank you for sharing.

[@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.

[@Yuemitai]

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

[@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

[@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

[@zeldita2610]

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

[@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❤

[@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!!

[@daddymcawesome6135]

So happy you are back. You have been missed and I love what you are doing.

[@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

[@TiredHarem]

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

[@HoneyballLP]

OMG I love all of them so much!

[@meaux7409]

WELCOME BACKK!!!

[@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

[@joshuakruse9611]

Missed you Ross glad to see you posting again.

[@mwabapambwe1054]

It's good to have ross back after so long 🤧😊

[@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👍

[@egyptianiris]

Whoaaa! This is amazing. Great tips too! I never thought to use cloud brush for light. Gonna give that a try! Love B and C!

[@Askarvi]

ROSS!!! Happy to see you shine, can't wait to watch the video. Now rest up!

[@GM1and0]

Thank you sri, Ross Draws for teaching us happy teacher's day po❤.

[@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.

[@zacharybinroth1168]

He’s back!

[@Audrax-zn2cj]

Wowww I love those pieces, they are awsome ! Love the different versions, I hope we will see more of it in the future (my favorite is C !!). I'm really happy you are doing videos again, I missed them ❤ -Love from a french artist

[@arsenalavery2702]

The side profile is my fav. They’re all awesome 🎉❤

[@miscellaneous7777]

All three are good it simply depends on what message you want to convey or what you want the people to look at. So first one emphasizes the character the second puts focus on the BG aka the tree and the last one showcases the action or mood of the scene.

[@Giveup12]

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

[@__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!! 💕✨

[@MelissaJMassey]

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?! 😂
