[@trial2457]

While we are all on lockdown, I think everyone would love a video on some techniques that you use, like say something on how you make selections and choosing colours for selections, it would be so fantastic for learners like me to understand how you do things like this as your art is so fantastic, hope U would do this and keep the brilliant videos coming, thank you so much.

All you paintings are awesome man. I love watching them but i wish you would talk through them more about how you are achieving them and what techniques you are using. all those mad shapes and selections you use, im like how on earth is he doing this?!

Hey Jordan! what a blessing to have you here sharing your talent. Would you consider making a tutorial video? of one of your speed paintings? thank you!! you're a god!

Wow...amazing imagination produces very beautiful work of art.....you really inspire me...

[@danpeck8554]

Nice!! I would have loved to hear the "inner dialog" as you put in or changed content, to hear the all the "why"s behind the choices.

[@MrBlind-kr4vq]

I really like your style and how you color. I am hoping to catch up in that level someday. Seeing your videos makes me calm and recollect my things.

I know it would be 4-5 hours long but I'd watch every bit of it! Would like to hear you talk us through your thought process and why you do the things that you do in a painting. Cheers!

Hi Jordan. Stunning art mate. I was just wondering... I noticed you have a Teespring shop but it only sells a couple of your illustrations. I'd love to be able to get a print of the image you drew in this video. Any chance of you offering that facility in the future? Thank's again for sharing your talent with the world. In these dark times, we need shinning lights like you more than ever.

[@sahilpatil2737]

Thanks for sharing you knowledge

[@bushcollectors]

Awesome vid! Might be a stupid question but,.. How do you screencapture a vid like this? I mean, Record everything you do and make a vid of it.

[@JordanGrimmer]

I use ScreenFlow to record my screen, but there are tonnes of alternatives out there!

[@bushcollectors]

@@JordanGrimmer Going to check out screenflow this afternoon! Thanks! I'm new to this.

[@LarsLeonhard]

Hi. Love your channel. Can I ask, 6:38 you are doing some colour selection of black colour... what exactly is that, why and what do you do with it?

[@JordanGrimmer]

Hi and thanks! That's called the Color Range tool, I use it to select the same colour throughout the whole image. It helps me create form within the shapes I've already created without going outside of those shapes.

[@LarsLeonhard]

@@JordanGrimmer Thanks Jordan. I will have to try that out. Have a great day!

[@Mr.McWatson]

Can someone tell me if Jordan has a video where he explains the ground? Like the mottled texture of the grass etc, it always looks so good when the pros do it.

[@falcon2point062]

Heyo Jordan is it ok to look at like references and stuff? While doing concept art

[@mino6322]

love your stuff! do you create thumbnail sketches going into a piece?

[@JordanGrimmer]

Not all the time! With stuff like this I tend to just jump in but for client work I will always make up a set of ideas first.

[@mino6322]

@@JordanGrimmer cool, thanks!

[@saimanohara6399]

Hi Jordan, when do we know to stop? I mean that the art is complete. Especially since there is always that one thing which we can change or improve.

[@trbgraphics5557]

Your environments are really amazing. How long did this take you in real time?

[@JordanGrimmer]

Thank you! This took about 4 hours overall.

[@praneetth]

hey Jordan, fell in love with your work instantly. On what do you draw all these? is it a cintiq or is it a normal pen tablet? ive been using pen tablets hut ive always wanted to use a pen display but theyre way out of my budget. And does it really make a difference?

[@JordanGrimmer]

Hey! Thank you for the kind words :) I'm using a really old Wacom Bamboo tablet still, I've been using it for years. Not a fan of Cintiqs myself unfortunately, they don't really suit how I paint. And I really don't think they make any difference at all, they're all about preference. Don't think you'll make better art because of the hardware you've got, it's all about what you're putting into it. Don't rush and waste money on something expensive, just use something cheaper!

[@ZEBASS]

Hello Jordan, big fan of your work here. I have a couple questions if you don't mind: Instead of saying "can I have your custom shapes?" I will say: Could you give me some tips to create my own custom shapes? i.e. you draw textures and save them, take them from photos, etc. And also, if you could recommend a small set of must-have custom shapes in order to paint more efficiently, I would be very grateful. My first guess would be getting a rocky texture, some leaves and perhaps a couple architecture shapes.. but I'd like to hear your opinion on how to help a guy who's on the slower side of artists because he paints most things as if it was a traditional pencil drawing. Thanks in advance!

[@nekif820]

So how long does it roughly take you to finish pieces like this?

[@hadikazemi6707]

Hi Professor I live in Iran. I know Photoshop and after seeing the techniques used in your images, I realized that I am an amateur Please guide me where to start to get acquainted with digital painting techniques

[@NikosLagos-w5f]

sorry can i ask you do you think that the size (17 inch) for screen display tablet is prohibitive for a professional concept artist? (I intend to give it as a gift to a friend who is a professional) the product we are referring to is the wacom cintiq pro 17

I had a question, do you have a video on how to color using the color dodge/range thing? It's always so fast that I wonder if im missing steps.. Is it just make sure you get the values down then turn it on?

[@akrammaad7609]

Jordan,big fan and follower here, your channel is awesome. I wanted to ask you something if i may. I visited your site/portfolio, and i was wondering how someone can make a site like that ? Do you have a recommendation ? Is Wix good or do you recommend something else ?

[@Chulbulmemesfunny]

How much time would take to reach the level of you Sir ? Totally awesome

[@TheEditingExplorer]

do you use a screen tablet for concept drawing?

[@Jeea84]

This is woowwweeeee 👀 Does anyone know how to make a straight line when the line is diagonal??

[@sigurdbreivik9909]

Draw a point, then hold down shift and draw another point, a line will be automatically created between the two of them!

[@russelp9666]

Hey Jordan, are you planning to make a concept art course?

[@ardavansh301]

this may sound stupid but are you using a mouse or a pen? I'm a beginner and not sure which one is better?

[@JordanGrimmer]

Pen tablet, using a mouse to create something like this would take a very long time and it is not intuitive. If you're serious about trying art get a pen tablet, don't use a mouse :)

[@bengriffiths1908]

Is that color wheel standard in photoshop or is it an add-on? I am just now beginning my journey in digital art and would love to be able to use it when I paint. thank-you.

[@JordanGrimmer]

It's an add-on, if you Google Photoshop colour wheel you should be able to find one to download.

[@vadimberg2136]

How much real time did this work take?

[@abdulmalik2388]

hey jordan i have a real hard time sketching from my imagination, how can i improve.

[@JordanGrimmer]

Don't beat yourself up if you're finding it hard to draw from imagination, it's incredibly hard to do if you haven't got that information learnt in your head already. You have to study, draw and paint the things you want to sketch to be able to draw them from your head. Keep drawing and studying and you'll find it sticking in your brain :)

[@zakkwickenden]

gotta ask where can i get brushes you use, and also i absolutely love your work

[@JordanGrimmer]

It's not going to be cheap but do you have an average asking price for custom artwork like channel banners? My pfp if your art and it's so good.

[@Astronaut05]

Hello Jordan, could you please tell me at which resolution you made this piece? I noticed that you were able to zoom in really close, which isn't possible with your artwork on artstation

[@JordanGrimmer]

I tend to work at around 4000px x 2300px, something like that. I don't tend to worry about using a specific resolution, just big enough so I can zoom in enough to do details :)

[@gidobergrush1157]

3:15 i see what you did there

[@shreyapateriya3461]

Sir there is one question from my side that WHICH SOFTWARE ARE YOU USING FOR YOUR THESE DIGITAL PAINTINGS?

[@lykular]

looks like photoshop

[@gabriellesnow_ui]

What size art-board are you using?

[@JordanGrimmer]

I can't quiet remember but I think this this was about 4000px width at least. I always work big and then scale down later. Trying to do detailed work on small canvas size is impossible.

It appears he's using Photoshop, but you could probably do all the same things and more with Krita, which is both free and open source (and can import Photoshop brushes).
