Forest Ruins: Concept Art Process

[@ahmedyusuf1000]

im sure that warrior brush is a running joke you entertain yourself with

[@imapigeonyoupeasant1489]

Hahaha

[@amrindersingh5952]

Its not a joke i think. It helps setting the scale of the environment. You can visualize the warrior standing and draw around it. I could be wrong.

[@SnuffSimon]

I think he’s making a point that brushes don’t matter

[@ItsJJOLO]

Unless you’re using an air brush

[@yarugatyger1603]

@@amrindersingh5952 Nah he is using the warrior brush because the blade has a hard edge while the rest of the body is round which gives the brush good qualities for making sharp and round edges.

[@justintokarchuk]

That brush. Lol

[@Morecado]

Did you use a whole guy with a sword as your brush?

[@bowza1843]

looks like it

[@JordanGrimmer]

Yup.

[@gabriellealmodovar9470]

it is literally a man-made drawing ahahahaha that brush is killing me

[@mrspo7012]

Omg just noticed 😂😂

[@DatowdaArts]

The way you use that brush is magnificent

[@oneyedcrow]

Nice to draw along with art process videos. This one in particular gave some great vibes. Music choice was great.

As a lover of FF9, I heartily approve of this music choice.

[@n7darren]

I knew I recognised it!!

[@JesusMejia-hf6li]

I havent played 9 but I was like "Yo, this is some FF shit in the music" And then I saw the song was by Nobuo haha. My ears are fucking trained. Such a distinct style.

[@reneeellis3255]

I swear, each move you made I was like "why??? That doesn't make se- oh, that's beautiful. Oh wow." Then you'd do something else and then repeat the cycle over again. Great work!

[@sachintendulkar3556]

you getting all those sharp edges and shapes cause of that warrior brush.

[@ShadyMilksYoutube]

sir im not sure if you're aware but your brush is a small sworded man

[@sketchtech5203]

I can only concentrate on the fact that your brush looks like a man holding a big sword

[@prix_Ilustração]

loved the guy with sword brush!!

[@sociallyawkwardguy7106]

Everynew Artist: what's the best brush texture Also every new Artist: *searching for the best brush in the world* Jordan grimmer's brush: guy with a sword texture

[@calltoart6887]

okay, I understand I’m really late… but this piece has inspired me so much, tbh, all your work is amazing!! I can’t put it into words, I will sit down on my couch and watch you draw or watch the videos you make, even if it’s 24 hours long. I watched this whole video in process, and I just.. I love it.. It’s so soothing and calm, and how you decide to use your brushes are insane!! I’ve been obsessed with your work… I’m sorry if this is so sudden…. I can’t say how much you’ve inspired me… keep it up!!! you’re gaining my attention!!!!! 😙😙😙😍😍😍

[@JordanGrimmer]

Thank you so much for the kind words, that really means alot :)

amazing art, you are a true inspiration. just one little thing, both fires have the same shape, you forgot to modify one of them. keep up the good work!

[@arenasbeltran9999]

Hi jordan, I love your art, the scenes you create, your way of painting, and that you never seem limited in your color palette. But especially your compositions and the arrangement of the elements on the canvas, it would be great if you do a composition tutorial! :)

[@greedmarks7478]

What's the initial canvas size and dpi you're using ? I see you're scaling canvas later on ( cutting it a bit, to match 16:10 ratio I believe) , please could you roughly tell what's your canvas setup there ?

[@JordanGrimmer]

Can't really remember now exactly but I always tend to work with at least 2000 pixel and higher width and whatever height I want with 72 dpi. Unless you're intending to print something out you don't need to use a higher dpi. It's not that big of a deal what resolution you use, just make sure it's big enough to get detail without it slowing your computer down too much.

[@gbj6581]

What a masterclass! 👏👏👏. Do you kind of create a sketch on paper first so you have a general idea of what ur looking to creat. Or do you just start in photoshop one time.

[@JordanGrimmer]

Thanks! And I usually don't sketch on paper beforehand. I tend to just throw myself into it with a vague idea in my head of how I want the composition to look :)

Beautiful work. I looked at your Patreon but nothing happening atm ... have you got plans to share your process on there at all?

[@veronicaloretta2978]

I want to know, how much time do you need to complete this artwork?

I wish that brush set was available for download tho haha

[@bowza1843]

why not make the brushes yourself from what you see in the video?

Beakaboo because I have no idea how to make it 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@bowza1843]

I can't remember the exact steps from when I made a few of mine but it is quite simple, you will have to look up how to make brushes in photoshop,. then make a silhouette of what brush you see in the video. better than asking and not receiving eh?

Hey Jordan, I found someone who has posted this video on their channel without giving you credit. I think it's full of stolen videos and I get the feeling you probably didn't give permission. Channel is called Studio Artpool.

Is it possible to use just one layer for something like this?

[@JordanGrimmer]

Sure, but it would be difficult to organise and move elements about when you need to, that's the point of having layers in the first place. Don't worry about using too many layers unless you're working professionally when you'll need to keep things organised, just have fun.
