I'm inlove with Environmental artworks . Thanks for this one .

[@stopandlisten6070]

What an interesting technique! I will definitely give this a go, you have inspired me to try this method. Thank you.

[@HomeByMidnight]

Will you ever show a time lapse for your futuristic/si-fi stuff? I REALLY love your art for that genre

[@JordanGrimmer]

I'll try to in the future! :)

[@ДмитрийТравин-и1ч]

[@brandonjacksoon]

[@gabrielruizaraujo2714]

Basically the reality in concept art world. Nonetheless, you ARE an artist, one has to have such vision of how things work to achieve this kind of result, congratulations!

[@InkedNinja84]

I REALLY love your method of creating shapes and transforming them over and over to make the overall composition read well... its very inspirational and i'm going to try it out in just a bit. what brush set do you use?

[@najehachowdhury3721]

InkedNinja you should learn yo make your own brush it's not hard and brushes aren't important brushes add personality to your piece

A very beautiful picture. I was very impressed by the wonderful video.^ ^

[@rbjstudio]

Great technique , love it!

[@BJArkies]

Truely amazing.. the only thing I'm not sure about are the tree print copies (for lack of a better word) in the foreground. Isn't it nicer to also use some sort of photo for that? Very inspiring ..

[@pihh0537]

you opened my eyes. you showed what Photoshop actually is and how to use 100%. I wanna use this tool like you do someday :)

[@RequiesAeternaGaming]

[@pedrodeelizalde7812]

So great Jordan! And great music! Do you recommend any online course for learning about composition? Thanks

[@olibianchini2472]

Been looking around for a channel like this- your ArtStation is also very inspiring, would you ever consider doing live streams?

[@JordanGrimmer]

I would if I felt confident enough to do so, sometime in the future hopefully!

[@guillaumeb2225]

How many times to do that ?

[@Zeldakostv]

I think i'm just realizing how many of these concept landscapes i see online are a bunch of photobashing that takes maybe an hour or so, it's not near as difficult as i'm thinking

[@krish-ut9de]

But you need a lot of skill to make the work

[@krish-ut9de]

It is difficult not if you practice😊😊

[@Silverjerk]

Concept art is a mixture of design, and traditional art techniques; it is not easy by any stretch of the imagination, as you have to be highly skilled in both disciplines. I would consider myself an "expert" traditional artist, and competent designer (which is my career), and even I am a terrible concept artist; so there's an even deeper, third aspect of this skill set which is the ability to take those disciplines and make them work together effectively. The reason there are images and other assets edited into the work is that the intention is to create a "concept" (as the title implies), which requires quick ideation and fast turnaround. Most concept artists are amazing artists with immense talent -- they're not taking an easy-out, just using the right tools to get the job done. Please don't assume this is something you can learn overnight. As a gainfully employed artist and designer, I learned that lesson the hard way; it takes time, effort, and amassing a large library of references and assets.

[@tomstraughan4063]

Any plans for Gumroad tutorials? Especially interested in the transition from black and white thumbnails to colour. I always have problems with that process. Great work also!!

[@Jeremy-su3xy]

Nice Artwork really. Like! like 100 times. I'm a beginner. I don't know where to get the pic for inserting. I'm afraid copyright stuff. Would you give me a guide?

[@iWadey]

You are fine. You are manipulating and transforming. It won't be the intellectual property that you originally saved.

[@Jeremy-su3xy]

@@iWadey Thanks for the answer. Does that mean any google picture might be used for manipulation? I mean except for the privacy pics.

how is it going now, able to draw one?

[@najkraemer3117]

he didnt draw anything... its just photobashing, im sure you can do that.

[@JordanGrimmer]

Nothing wrong with photobashing Naj, pretty standard in my industry. But if you'd like to see me not photo bashing I have loads of other videos where I just paint without textures. Maybe check them out instead of trolling my comments :)

[@najkraemer3117]

@@JordanGrimmer Stop getting your nickers in a twist, He said he cant draw I said you didnt draw. end of story. He can click a mouse around in photoshop or gimp and get "good results" if he tried.

[@Manicca]

"Sketching a speedy landscape" is ... quite insulting to us who actually do draw. This is Photobashing, not sketching. None the less you have a huge talent in Photobashing and coming up with ideas, nice end result.

[@crypticalstory9261]

Manicca This is how the industry works. In games no one cares about it since you have to work to be efficient all the time. No one’s gonna pay you for painting every window on a castle, so you have to develop this kind of technique. It’s surely not meant as an insult, it’s just how being a concept artist works. The idea that as a concept artist you just get to paint nice stuff all the time is quite romanticised and nowhere near the truth. Discarding the artists skill because of this is honestly not the nicest way. Hope this gives you some perspective on this.

[@Papershredderrr]

@@crypticalstory9261 you just explained digital concept arts in gaming, not sketching.

[@GoBIGclan]

@@Papershredderrr This is a video about digital concept art, not sketching.

[@JordanGrimmer]

@Manicca I'm sorry you were so offended by my wording with this. Yes, not much sketching, I have other videos where I do just painting and sketching which I'm sure you'd be less offended by. I won't go into the pros and cons of photobashing now, but, as someone else commented here, this is just another way of creating art in the industry that I work in.

[@Zagalf]

@@JordanGrimmer hi man, can you do a tutorial about the methods? Or just say the names, I'm a begginner artist, seeking aprimorate my art, a tutorial or a book that talk about would be so useful

thats why i don't like wacthing concept art, its a recycled photo collage, but concept is what is it , it means to be productive and i m a hobbyist
