I am looking forward to not have all my characters standing in the middle of a void! Great video y'all! 😊

[@BaMAnimation]

I'm standing in a void IRL. that's why I like to make my background art so detailed.

[@FrederickSmith-kf2jq]

Except the Lord Jesus Christ as yur eternal savior. Accept that he is the son of God. Recognize that Jesus paid for all our sins. Don't forget That Jesus was resurrected three days after his death. He sits at the right hand of God. I'm glad I could tell you these things. I had to misspell because of the algorithm.

[@maxwell_o.o5460]

​@@BaMAnimation as a beginner one of the issues I have come across Is having my lineart being undesirable its either too thick as compared to the character or too thin than I intended How do I go around this.

[@Cocuj4]

​@@FrederickSmith-kf2jq Nobody asked you

[@restless-seeker]

can you guys become 3d animators for two seconds and explain 3ds max this way because what the hellllll? 😭😭😭 this is so helpful and immensely fun to watch

[@lanceanthony198]

You guys are the best resource for animation ‘edutainment’ on KZbin

[@BaMAnimation]

We are just a resource! there is lots of good info out there, we just like to present it in a certain way!

[@sudhfgiwgbefirrhq3werfhuieh]

Artificial intelligence will never replace artists, after all, we have one thing it doesn't, heart and creativity

[@JavaDoodles]

cool video, d00ds! i am learning so much! pls post more, BaM!

[@ducktaledudette]

Oooooo your videos are hilarious

[@bugxa]

are you going to add backgrounds to your animations now? 😁

[@BaMAnimation]

Thank you UwU

[@JavaDoodles]

@@BaMAnimation :D

[@JavaDoodles]

@@bugxa probably not xD

[@HannABXY.]

Ah yes, another aspect of art I seriously need to stop procrastinating on learning and practicing.

[@thestellarelite]

I've missed your videos! As a chronic chracter-no-backgrounds artist, definitely needed this. You guys are the bestest ✨

[@John-uw2je]

Best tutorials for art by far. You have actually useful examples instead of just telling me what it is you are trying to convey.

[@AriGrabb]

This is crazy. I honestly woke up this morning thinking "I sure would like to paint a background, but gosh I just dont know how".

[@yusufalasmi8923]

It's been too long I'm so excited about this episode. I feel like painting Bgs at the final thing I'm missing in my journey.

[@laurenslair]

Another banger! So much sacred knowledge jam packed into 20 mins. Also, here’s a photoshop tip for any type A hyper-organized freaks like me: instead of clipping lists of layers to one below, you can place that list into a masked group. The best feature of a masked group is that you can place it inside *another* masked group (you can do this infinitely!) Let’s say you used a masked group to paint a textured shadow. If you group and mask *that* you can non-destructively paint out a gradient so that your textured shadow fades away (without actually erasing your original shadow selection)

[@BaMAnimation]

Thank you @laurenslair you're the best! I love masks! and adjustment layers too!

[@joeyredpanda]

Yooooo that's a sick background that y'all gave my character!! I really liked how y'all made it look, this was awesome!

[@BaMAnimation]

Glad you liked it!

[@4artnatashnamac]

​@BaMAnimation Hi, I am in school, and we use Animate cc. How relevant is Animate cc in your everyday life. I notice that most 2D animators just use Photoshop for most of the process.

[@TheMightyPika]

You guys are the first instructors who are able to explain how to use photoshop to make art that makes sense to me. I can't possibly stress how incredible this is. Thank you.

[@TheBoomamatic]

I think the best quality of these tutorials is how even the nuances of the fundamentals are explained and explored not just a "this is the correct way to do it" vibe. It makes me excited to learn and to create

[@gabrielflores9808]

It's incredible how everytime i watch a video of you guys, my inspiration to draw and colorize gains new life! Thank you for making such a good quality content!

[@elinevanderlugt5416]

Wow, this is so helpful. Started artschool this year. And they are teaching us great thing on how to do research an work on process. But at the end of the day we have to figure most basic stuff and fundemental stuff out ourselves. This is really really helpful how to approach a piece practically! Especially for someone who is just starting out digitally

[@Leo-kc2kp]

just remembered about this channel I used to love watching years ago and it's such a nice surprise that you guys are still up and with the same quality I loved about this channel. Serious thx for giving us so much knowledge for free and with a nice presentation

[@OakTreeIsaac]

You guys are the best. Following your content has helped me a lot with my animated pilot. I now have the confidence to complete my backgrounds in the way I wanted to. Thank you!

[@JerryMeehanJr]

a new video, my day has been made. this was one of the best episodes I've always wanted to know how to color backgrounds without coloring every single thing in lol

[@andrewnoetzel9230]

Really effective lesson and useful for tons of different digital media projects. Brent & Max deliver another amazing video. Keep it up guys! You're crushing it.

[@BunnyN]

very excited to see a new video from ya'll, i appreciate how straightforward you present the material and i don't have to keep fast forwarding through the fluff like other tutorials. thanks!!

[@Caddrel]

I wouldn't have guessed about quickly changing individual shapes with the color picker directly instead of pick and then paint with a brush. Makes a ton of sense why people would do it that way. And of course the entire video is a treasure trove of knowledge.

[@mdxzao]

dude, this is one of the BEST channels heere in youtube when the matter is illustration. I love you guys, I've been studying and perfecting mt work with for YEARS now. I wish we could have more frequency on new videos. I miss youuu

[@gray_rain]

I'm so excited to see another video from you! 😭 I love you guys. So much value. 💪

[@gluedmonkey]

This is hands down, the BEST video on backgrounds i've ever seen on youtube.

[@sukhmankaur2504]

i love their chemistry. they make it easy and fun

[@richstubbsanimation]

So much information packed into one vid! As someone who sometimes struggles with choosing the right colours, this video is an encyclopaedia of knowledge! Thanks BaM

[@hanzflackshnack1158]

Totally forgot how much I love this channel. Just recently started animation backgrounds this is perfect thaaaank yooouuu

[@safwansya72]

wow this video really makes me want to color things. u guys actually makes colouring look fun. ngl i hate colouring but now i have to jump back to my previous artworks and redo the colourings! thanks BaM!!

[@femiolowofoyeku5852]

Your videos are always truly enlightening and artist defining. I'd started another tutorial when I saw BAM had a cover on the topic, I quickly switched videos.

[@danielj.obrien4342]

Thank you for this breathe of fresh air. I am forever learning from you guys. Thank you thank you thank you!

[@roastman9753]

honestly one of the best art tutorial vids on youtube.
