[@gottafindacoolname]

If I learned something?? Are you kidding me brother? You taught me everything!

[@fren2748]

You got me tricked for the first half, not gonna lie

[@TranquilGeo]

Haha. I love your name. But yeah. this is very cool.

[@arbazkhan_97]

i dont know why people dislike these kind of videos, he is sharing his knowledge which is very great work.. ... thanks for this @Walid Feghali

[@KillerGirlLucy]

I was always so in awe when seeing concept art for games and with this tutorial I can start practicing making them myself! Thank you so much!

[@WalidFeghali]

Happy to hear that, Alice! Stay with it and give it a go. :) Best, W.

[@olympe1996]

omg OMG I thought it was impossible to find a tutorial about concept art on youtube ;______; and you're amazing thank you for teaching us for free you have no idea how much did you help me, I live in a very poor country so thank you :3

[@Thefreequincy]

Great videos! Love how you explain what you are doing ! Can listen for hours

[@sirius2643]

amazing video!, please dont stop makng stuff like this,

[@RebeccaBrooksJasmineandViolets]

Thank you soooo much for making these tutorials! I really appreciate it! Have always loved matte painting and I am finally transitioning to digital from analog.

[@86_percent28]

I’ve been struggling all day to no avail to figure out foliage and have just been graced with this video

[@WalidFeghali]

And I have been graced with your presence. :) W.

[@Sam-lb8xs]

Walid, thank you so many times over for your lessons and for the brushes. I am eager to learn how to paint like this after a long absence from painting and I cannot thank you enough!

[@khazimo]

This was an amazing tutorial. I've always been able to draw and paint but in my adult years I hate doing it. I hate the mess and I can't afford supplies. I borrowed my brother's drawing tablet this weekend to try my hand at digital painting and I'm blown away by what I can accomplish and this tutorial has given me the key to unlocking so many tools. I'd really love to get into concept art. Thanks so much!

[@WalidFeghali]

Glad to hear that. You should check out my other tutorials, such as the introduction to speedpainting, and also check out my site evenant.com. I post a lot of things on painting digitally and anything regarding concept art.

[@MrAcc816]

I've only seen 11 minutes of this, and you already have a new subscriber. Great job! You're awesome.

[@TranquilGeo]

I got into mat painting very early but gave up. This will get me going again. Seeing your finished products is very motivational.

[@MaverickJeyKidding]

Bob Ross anyone? :) Sooo cool that i've stumbled upon your tutorials. Thanks alot!

[@aaliyahgreen7436]

I find it difficult to create a sense of scale in my drawings and paintings, for example, something extremely large and colossal that dwarfs everything surrounding it, or vice versa. It lacks atmosphere and looks flat, I don't know how to achieve the looming/imposing quality I want, or how to do it. It would be amazing if you could do a video on scale and how to create contrasting scale and contain it all on a canvas. Your videos are super helpful so far!

[@WalidFeghali]

Hi, definitely noted. It's something a lot of people want to know. Will make a video on this soon! :) Thanks!

[@MatthewSmith-zo9st]

try focusing on balance. Large to medium to small. Its all abut balance and composition. Dark shapes are heavy and weigh one side, so if you have a large mass on one side, counter balance it.

[@MatthewSmith-zo9st]

@aaliyah Green also contrasts, things closer have more detail in the line of sight, things father will be less detailed and less saturated with more atmospheric color (blues, reds, yellows) depending on the time of day or environment

[@SeerWS]

Perspective is key. Imagine something colossal, like the... Colosseum! Now imagine a person standing right next to it. You will have difficulty fitting them both into the same artwork unless the person is a tiny dot. You can make the person bigger but will be forced to crop out most of the Colosseum. So this shows that some structures are so large we cannot appreciate them on the same plane (same distance from viewer) as the best points of reference for scale, which happens to be a human. Now imagine a human walking in the foreground, and a hundred feet away there is a much smaller human, and hundreds of feet away a group of humans, so small they are just points. Then, much farther back, you have this truly massive structure, as tall as 50 Colosseums (yes it's possible to demonstrate this scale if you place its base close to the horizon and still it reaches to the top of the canvas). This is what I mean by perspective is key to showing colossal sized thing.

[@lisamaier9984]

I do too. :(

[@denkozlov4220]

Thank you for sharing a brush pack. I find this very awesome! Especially clouds. I am making brushes myself, but these are out of range. Gorgeous.

[@angelheartnumber1]

Simply fantastic! Thank you so much for your tutorial!! This is soooo helpful!! Very talented!

[@md.saifulhasan5106]

WHAT A LESSON!! Simply Unbelievable stuff! Thank you so much💚

[@PupuriFofa]

THANK YOU SOOOOO MUCH for this lesson!!! I need this, thank you!!!!

[@quahntasy]

Its 2018 and this video has been recommended to me. I want more recommendations like this!

[@WalidFeghali]

Woo! :)

[@TranquilGeo]

Yeah. Google search isn't very accurate for some of us. But this video is totally me.

[@GoddessGamer]

I strive to creating art that looks like your 3rd example in the beginning of the video. I knew about the mixer brush but i never thought people who do art like this would use real images. Now whenever i see art like that i'll feel a little better knowing that there is a high chance that what im seeing might be in fact a real images and they are not gods of the art world. I'm going to start experimenting with these styles and try and figure out how i can blend them to see how well i can fit them into drawings with characters who have an outline. Thank you for this amazing eyeopener

[@IceyMewAJ]

oh my gosh ur tutorials are amazing! i find it so much easier now to draw landscapes thank you!

[@WendyMoule]

New to digital and wanted a crash course. You have delivered!

[@decode.666]

I am really new to concept art and Photoshop painting in general. I am learning so much! Cheers a ton!

[@princeowiredu2022]

I’ve searched for a channel like this for a long time

[@Twiddl3Dum]

This has got to be the most helpful tutorial! Thank You so much I have learn't so much!

[@WalidFeghali]

Twiddl3Dum Cheers! happy to hear that :)

[@caitlinbateson9397]

Wow, if only I knew about the mixer brush YEARS AGO, drawing foliage wouldn't have been so difficult! Thanks so much for this awesome tutorial.

[@WalidFeghali]

The mixer brush is quite amazing! :) Best, W.

[@TheImaginativeSachin]

Holy cow!! This is the best tutorial ever😍😍😍

[@justinstewart6162]

Great! Thanks for this! This was very helpful!

[@PabloRogat]

this video is pure GOLD man........ amazing

[@theunraveler]

Thank you for taking time out to create this tutorial, its really useful

[@sanjanaraghunath6216]

You are amazing, thank you for (1.) sharing the *stunning* brush pack and (2.) demoing the principles behind creating trees and bushes and grass! I've known about matte painting for a while but never got adventurous enough to leave the comfort zone of my ground-up painting. Your video did that for me, and I'm about to go exploring and painting. So thanks from the bottom of my heart, you have yourself a new subscriber :)

[@WalidFeghali]

I'm very happy to hear it! Good luck and stay tuned for more. :)

[@CapucineNighly]

Now I know what to do with my expensive camera that I bought only for one class throughout my whole college year. Thank you for the video, I've been having problems painting the background, as I only specialize in portrait painting. Painting grass and other vegetation was a problem. I'll try this out. Thank you again!

[@ysabeauvalikov7894]

This was great, I learned a lot. Thank you!

[@CHIDOtaku]

this video tricks are amazing!! from now you are my master *-*

[@pipperoooo]

I love this tutorial. thank you!

[@SchmidtFG.]

This is THE best tutorial about painting techniques I've seen so far. Learned a lot. May I ask for a tutorial about a huge tree with roots or something like that? What I found on YT are too fast to understand. Thanks for sharing your knowledge!

[@starloose9467]

first time i learn that well watching a tuto, thank you very much for your time :)

[@VidimusWolf]

Hey! Just want to say that your videos on painting various things are super helpful and well done. Thanks :)

[@lisamaier9984]

Could you make a tutorial on perspective, and how to make the grid as you sketch a drawing? There are a lot of tutorial out their but they do not apply it has they are sketching out their drawing. I am really struggling with the this.

[@mubsharamin]

awesome video brother loved your work thanks

[@frostyshdurak1703]

Great! I am studying how to draw digitally and this video looks nice!

[@nicolaepascal1740]

thanks for video and brushes!!

[@KarsuneGaming]

fantastic tip video. very clean and nicely paced. you don't talk too fast. very helpful, thank you.

[@Electrow29]

Thank you so much! I asked for it last week and you did it! Very cool tutorial i learned so much!

[@WalidFeghali]

Yes, it's because of you I did it. :) Was a good suggestion!

[@jeanfrancis6904]

Great tutorial, very helpful ! :) I'm a beginner, and a problem I have often is in early stages (when I put down the general shapes, colors), I have a hard time figuring out : if it doesn't look great because it's early stage and it's not supposed to look fantastic, or if it doesn't look good because I somehow messed up the proportions, perspective of the early stage. Is there a way to know if I'm "on the right track" when I'm painting ? Sometimes when I watch your videos in early stages of landscape painting I think "this looks kind of odd", but when you advance in the video and add other colors and lighting it looks amazing, you seem to have the ability of "project" yourself into the future and already know how the result will look like

[@LouiseChib]

Ive been trying to figure out the easiest way to get that nice neon glow effect. Now i know! thanks!

[@auroracroft]

I love taking inspirations from anime backgrounds too, specially Studio Ghibli, they give me a more easier understanding of things like vegetations.

[@231019945]

[@moosasanani]

Great lesson

[@tenz7410]

I've been doing photo manipulation for years and got a good result in my personal project.when I try digital painting without using any kind of photo then I just realized that digital painting is really hard to learn af... wish I can be a pro like you.

[@Maskambrazzz11]

Great video. Thank you for making this. Im planning to enroll on one of your course. I can't download the brush tho. It says item not found. How do i get uour brush??

[@aliffshamsul6444]

I'm a beginner and this is brilliant. and your brushes are fantastic

[@WalidFeghali]

Happy to hear that! :) W.

[@hobbyspotnz2833]

Im beginning to understand that nothing can be something. Basic brushes you use in these videos form simple shapes but highlighting makes them something. Loving the videos so far inspired me to make conceptual art.

[@WalidFeghali]

Happy to hear this. Cheers, W.

dude this helped a lot! Thanks and keep it up! :D

[@WalidFeghali]

Happy it helped! :) Cheers!

[@dereck3o3]

Thank you Walid. I'm passionate by map making for tabletop role-playing games since many years. I've good notions about photoshop but I'm a beginner in digital painting (between us.. it's a disaster!). So I was looking for good training for beginners explaining the basics of colorization that would help me in the very specific context of the fantasy maps design. I looked here and there, I even invested in the purchase of other training for beginners but without much success. After some training time, your "Painting Grass Tutorial" is the first real training that allowed me to start with a good foundation while providing me quickly encouraging results. Generally I don't like to spread me in thanks but I think it's necessary today, so thank you so match !

[@WalidFeghali]

Hi! I'm happy you got something good from the video. I am working on more tutorials, and also an online course I think can help you. I will go through the real essentials of Photoshop, how to use it effectively for artworks, concept designs, logos - practically anything. You can sign up to the newsletter on www.evenant.com/design to stay tuned for more! :)

[@dereck3o3]

Thanks :)

[@desertnightproductions5237]

Hi! Love your videos! I can't seem to sample the textures from photos:/ i am following your instructions but it just wont work? It only selects solid colour?

Very nice bro

[@gotcha4688]

I started to paint with oil and canvases and never had any problem with greenery, but ever since I discovered the digital medium (it's been years and I can draw decently now) I've been struggling a lot with that...

[@PiromancerFreak]

I started with digital first then took a traditional painting class. To my surprise, traditional painting is definitely easier. A paintbrush can naturally paint in foliage with little effort, but with a digital medium there's an entire library of options and techniques, none of which are immediately obvious.

[@purpleup28765]

@@PiromancerFreak yes agreed. I can draw a tree and it’s form fine on paper, but digitally it looks like a lollipop with spots lol
