The whole video is a revelation. I've always struggled with believable textures in my backgrounds. Thank you so much.

Thank you so much David, ever since I’ve been watching your videos for the last couple months my art has improved so much all because of your videos on anatomy, faces (the female face tutorial was very helpful because I am working on faces right now), perspective, etc..

[@padbearj3154]

Truly amazing. I have been watching your live streams and tutorials during the lockdown here in the UK. They have inspired me to start drawing. You explain things in such an easy to understand way. Thank you so much Mr Finch.

[@nickwebber9729]

Wow those shading lines are so accurate. That's a video tutorial in itself.

I definitely need to do high tech textures. Thanks for showing us how it's done.

I was varying the distance between my lines when i do rocks as opposed to keeping the lines equally spaced and breaking them. I'll try this as it looks way better. Thanks!

[@miker5207]

cheers for this Dave! Sure it's not the sexy attention grabbing topics but this stuff is soooooo essential and having it taught from your experience is a lifesaver.

Thanks for the vid :) . Very useful. Got me subscribed here :p . About suggestions: you have posted a rendering/shadow tutorial, about face, years ago... Can you, please, do more of that? Establishing light sources, interactions with them, shadowing, on various textures (not only faces, I mean), some tips, etc. I think, more deep understanding of this kinda "basic stuff" itself, is what many of us need. Keep up the good work :)

[@RomuloBarvaArt]

Thank you very much, master. I am in the process of "transferring" everything I know to the digital engine. Your videos have helped me a lot to learn things that I thought I knew in the traditional way.

[@DavidFinchartist]

Digital and traditional are the exact same skillset! Just with undos and free transforms. Those are nice. And perspective grids....

[@RomuloBarvaArt]

@@DavidFinchartist Yes, you're right. After a while, I realized that digital makes some things easier for me.

Amazing videos sir, im your biggest fan from kuwait... Suggestion: ... Simplifying the process in understanding and drawing hands ...
