You seem like you'd play a great role in the hit Tv series The Boys. (probably as like a wholesome character that explodes and dies)

A green cristal in the lower left could have been used as a light source for drawing number 1. Anyway, great stuff bill.

Your drawings are very good! I love the design and quality, this from a professional illustrator with 23 years of experience. 🤪

[@raykendo]

For me, Bill transitioned me from drawing to modeling/kitbashing

[@mmanoraa]

2 things. 1. I am SO excited for your skirmish rules set! 2. I often look through the Akira books for inspiration for ruins whether it's terrain or art.

[@JanKonecny8]

Now that the new vid is out I remembered the game. In the meantime I forgot what he said about the rulebook. Do you know where it'll be available and much will it cost?

[@AshleyTheSwift]

The only thing I like as much as your creations is your illustrations! Never expected you to do a whole video focusing on it, let alone teaching as well. My favourite art teacher I've ever had.

[@MisterMeaner3000]

Over the years you inspired me to try watercolors and I've done my first two paintings recently and I am so proud of them. Thank you.

[@fishisyum]

You can refill posca pens with molotow refills. You have to use pliers and unscrew the caps clockwise instead of counter clockwise.

Please make more illustration videos! You're fantastic at it, and I genuinely enjoy seeing all the different ways you bring The Gutterlands to life.

[@tompuce84]

I thought painting time with Bill was boring time with Bill. It's not, it's entertaining ... any trust I had towards this channel, slowly melting away

[@swarfsbackshop9632]

For random junk piles, rock piles etc, create a group of say 5 objects for each small, medium and large junk and then before you start drawing just rotate the page to a random angle and switch up the sizes, this has worked great for me

[@Wolfineer_]

Bill being a fellow Squat lover has made my day

[@derekmann494]

Best practical example of how to USE a color wheel I've ever seen. Thank you, Bill!!

[@TheBrawler93]

Ol’ Brightside Bill back with another banger of a video! Excellent watching on this rainy evening, love watching your process of creating art.

[@peterrobinson7187]

"...obviously I'm going to cover it with more paint and ruin it..." - it's not just me then?! 🤣

[@ericvaughn2617]

Ooh the final line work was really nice to watch. For your junk piles what if you made a texture roller? Roll out some cos clay, jam some greeblies in it and when you take it out you have a press mold texture. You could then just ink/stamp as is or maybe bake it to a paint roller? This is just something I've seen sculptors do recently so i haven't the foggiest if it'd work for painting. Cant wait to see more of your work!

[@Brickerbrack]

Or just a few junk-shaped stamps, that way you can also turn them and print them a few times at different angles.

[@Bogart745]

I would a lot for a copy of your sketch book. I’ve been watching you videos since the beginning. I love your art and yours sketchbook feels a visual history of your channel.

[@noahkirrkamm]

The bold use of those paint pens and the line work really reminds me of the art of Nick Pyle! Awesome drawings!

[@OomPapaMaoMao]

Love the way you sketch and draw. Been very much looking forward to this video!

[@SimeonCogswell]

I love Bill Drawing Stuff! Please post more videos like this.

[@Lee-Dixon1987]

The end result is like the most epic black felt poster ever created! Love watching your processes, whether it be making ore drawing. I always love when you share snippets from your sketchbook and watching this was a treat!

[@grothart2303]

All I want is space dwarves by bill now. please don't let your dwarf dreams be dreams, kit bash them into reality. awesome video BTW and cheers.

[@thekelvingreen]

Thanks for this video, Bill. I'm a freelance artist in the games biz and a year or so ago I completely lost confidence in myself and haven't drawn anything since. Watching this has reminded me of the simple pleasure of creating pictures and has helped me claw back some of that lost mojo.

[@Panguin8281]

9:40 You were talking about how to make junk piles a little more random or natural. What if you lay or dumped junk out on the paper and traced the shape it formed. I've seen people trace rice piles to make their D&D maps feel more organic. Maybe you could do it with beads, scrap, off-cuts, failed builds and other junk and leftovers from previous projects.

[@iulianbiro7974]

I don't leave comments on youtube, but this is an exception. I feel like I stumbled upon a hidden treasure. This is gold.

[@karnos8182]

Hey, love your work! Tipp on drawing Piles of stuff: Start with drawing overlapping cicles of different sizes, in a vauge shape of a pile, and fill in the details afterwards, like garbagebags, Stones or Skull´s. Helps, me atleast.

[@gilbertdarisse4705]

I'm really looking forward to reading the rules for the new game! My daughter and I craft together all the time. Making bead bots is one of her favorite things. I think it'd be cool for us to make our own teams to battle against. Such a cool idea.

[@Barry-Sweaty]

Uniball Air is my absolute fav ❤❤ Glad you use em. I have this fear that they will stop making them. This fear keeps me up at night.

Really awesome video and super fun to see Art by Nohr used for flattening the pages I love that book

[@bearimo2867]

Buzzing that this just came up, been looking at getting back sketching and needed some good inspiration!

[@GamerJules]

The initial style of art you show us here, the predominantly black imagery, reminds me so much of the original Cyberpunk pen and paper RPG art. I loved it, even in all its wonkiness. lol May find some inspiration there for dealing with trash piles / rubble?

[@hyosworld109]

I really like the style of your drawings!

[@leestevenson1236]

There is a huge sense of fun, freedom and honesty in your work Bill. You’re unrivalled on KZbin for your creativity.

[@SweenyMarc]

How Anyone Can DRAW Quickly And EFFECTIVELY Step 1 - make a bit of a fun, messy background by just sloshing paint around - okay Bill, with you so far... Step 2 - be really good at drawing, with a strong understanding of form, structure, balance and lighting - ffs Bill. (I kid, that was a cool video)

[@jonyscoundrel5547]

Been waiting for you to do a full illustration episode and i can say it was worth the wait. Your explanation of the techniques are so accessible and easy to understand. Ironically, after watching your videos for so long and buying the Bangarang rule book, ive stopped drawing and started kitbashing and scratch building for the first time in ages! Can't wait for skirm to drop. Thank you for all the inspiration and keeping my humble stickers on your workshop walls. 🏴‍☠️🦑

[@diyfireking]

Beautiful piece of work 👍👍

[@mariablundall2228]

I dont think ive came across anyone who draws, paints, & builds your illustrations step by step is brilliant thanku. Time to get my paints and pens back out 😊

[@midlife_mtb]

Love the 3 colours thing, wondering about trying a 3 colour thing on a mini...

[@moda78z]

Entertaining as always, Bill👍 And both artworks look so cool👍 (so do the rest too!)

[@MehWhatever]

I really enjoyed this one and I really like your art style. You say you are just a concept artist but you are selling yourself short. You definitely are an artist and I would like more painting videos. Another neat trick for watercolor is sprinkling salt on it when it is wet. I would do piles of stuff by blocking in colors with irregular/ natural sponges and then use waterproof ink to draw things out of the blobs. With some nice granulating water colors it will look interesting and things will just jump out at you. Kind of like looking at clouds and saying that one looks like a dog eating spaghetti and that one looks like a rabbit.. Really looking forward to Skirm. I am the same as you and love lore books and cool illustrations. It would be really neat if it had some single player options like 5 Parsecs From home.

[@sarahcrozier8549]

OMG the tip about the blackwing pencil rubber being extendable has changed my life!

[@Qppuccino]

Cool, this got me in a drawing mood. I guess I oughta give your techniques a try, albeit digitally... somehow. I've been looking for new ways to draw things.

[@martinm3474]

Bleach art, ran into this in the 1960s. We used colored construction paper. I drew a helmet with a face basket where the teeth might be.

[@DarthCool99]

BILLL The rare Art Attack reference killed me man. I Loved Art Attack as a kid, but forgot about it, havn't thought of the show for years and years. I love your channel, and name dropping Art Attack awakened some awsome childhood lore for me. Your channel shares a lot in common with it, and it's cool to notice how my love of Art Attack has translated to a love of your show too. 🎨

[@alv2316]

magical like always. was waiting for a shell being ejected from the gun though

[@beesforbreakfast]

Fantastic stuff as always! My cheat for rocks/debris/wreckage is to use a rough sponge to lay down some textures, then sponge on highlights and use a fine line to pick out shapes if anything fun presents itself

[@danielmcelhatton1724]

This sort of art is right up my alley and I've been looking for something to inspire me to get off my arse and draw something so, thank you kind sir. The lack of mess helps.

[@Lageno]

Didn't learn much about drawing, but I did learn a lot about colouring art in a way that looks quite striking. Thanks for the great video lesson, Bill!

I have always struggled with combining colors and how to apply them to a drawing. Thank you for this, Bill.

[@franciscomuro8427]

I do love this video (and all your videos) as stuff like this is just important for anyone who wants to be creative to hear. Even if no one ever uses these techniques specifically I still think the lessons imparted of trying, experimenting, and just doing are super important. I have really enjoyed watching this and can't wait to give it a try myself. Thanks again Bill and looking forward to your skirmish book coming out, and all the other future creative endeavors you have in the works. Cheers and here is to see you reach episode 100 and beyond.

[@benjamindebo9283]

I think we can all agree: 1 this vid was great and 2 MORE!

[@spookyyami]

More of these please! 🦑

[@artistpoet5253]

for piles of cutter just start off with the main masses like you would a figure or vehicle or building. then rough in a few key, semi-recogniseble objects like radiators, cans, pipes, fans, doors or whatever would be thrown in to the pile. Spread these around and use them to anchor those main masses. Final bit is to just scribble in smaller shapes that tie all the other larger shapes together. 'Negative' space in the form of shadow is excellent and most of all, try to avoid patterns and use heavy lines to guide the eye to the subjects of the drawing.

[@nicholasmiller4756]

Always great stuff

[@mikenightmare]

Great episode!!! Definitely do more, I enjoy seeing all the different art making aspects of what you do!
