Listen my man, you keep throwing out tips and tutorials to help artists like me and others, and I'll keep buying merch. I have no problem with this style of relationship! In fact, I'm thrilled to be helping you live and survive. You are a treasure, my friend! Thank you so, SO much! 😗🤘

Ross Draws The first thing I remembered loving to draw was back in 6th grade in 2010. I loved drawing Pokémon and Warrior cats. I wanted so badly, to draw my own warrior cats and to have a story behind them. I still can’t, but I can draw some Pokémon 😎

[@hannahingridK]

I think this is underrated. The fact that you're doing MASTERCLASSES for FREE is so generous! It really helps because a lot of us don't have the money for usual master classes or skillshare. Thank you Ross, for not only providing education but also enjoyable entertainment❤❤❤

[@jauxro]

(Notes - How Ross Colors Skin) 1. Use a reference, taking note of light and shadow 2. Uses a round brush at 75%~ softness 3. Adds highlights + color from the sky (or other surroundings) 3.5. Remembers basics (direction of light source, awareness of 3D forms)

[@michaelskywalker3089]

Interesting, in my opinion drawing circles [and lines] is one of the first 'instinctive' learning routines that any person that wants to draw will do; with instruction or not. Whenever I get tired of drawing lessons or completing a project I would draw circles, lines and ovals while trying to gain accuracy.

And I always had a bit of hard times with tutorials that do not explain really well. But yours are incredible! I weirdly feel like, I'm actually CAPABLE of drawing well if I try hard enough and listen carefully! My holidays are coming in about a month and I know I'm gonna spend all of it on practicing drawing! Thank you so much for making this free, and your art is just gorgeous. ♡

[@TheHamoody100]

Maybe this is coming late but i'm gonna say it. What I think is important for youngsters is that they should get a good hold of the basics, I mean like practice forms daily for a month if needed. the thing is you want to be good at it not just capable of it! Good luck for you.

KZbinrs are sometimes better than some professors in art schools.

Not that I'm complaining, but every student have different skill levels. I just hope they pay more attention to their students 😂 Oh and one more, most of them don't have the word "inspiration" in their vocabulary haha At least artists in youtube they help you get inspired and teaches you that "mistakes are just happy accidents."

Something he does that I don't think he notices he does or hasn't mentioned yet, is instead of what a lot of artists normally do: feel disheartened if they test something and they don't like it, he instead shows that even if it's not what he wants to go with, he still acknowledges that it looks awesome which keeps drawing fun. A good example of this was when he used his assets to find a background he liked. He ended up going with the stars, but he still tested different things and although he went with his first idea, it was still fun to explore and test.

[@varflock9777]

Main things I learned from this video: • I should use references more and more references when I do. • A better order of drawing things than the one I was trying to use before. • High pass. I knew what it is and how it works (too well perhaps) but had no idea how useful it is for drawing. I know it's an old video, but thank you, Ross.

I'm trying to imitate some aspects of his style, so far I've got some insight into how he does it. Lots of layers and blending is key to give it that soft glow. Especially in the eyes, trust me. I am surprised how easy it is once u can recognise what colours go together. Just remember for every warm colour like red orange pink you need shadows that are cool colours like blues purples etc And finally always do your sketch with skin tones not black, like he is doing. I am still not there but there are some very sneaky things he does that he doesn't share on this video. Chief among them is how long it takes, seriousely its taken me the better part of 4 hours on procreate just on the sketch , eyes and lower lip. Trust me this needs patience. Also every now and then flip ur image horizontally. It will minimise issues with symmetry. I didn't do this in the beginning which I regret.
