What I like about this is that he addresses the common (but I think rarely discussed) problem of "seeing too much" and then the followup problem, "wanting to draw the impossible." I've been reading and watching art tutorials for a while, but this vid's the first time I've seen that addressed.

#MapCrunch13 ! Still learning my way around my tablet's drawing app and landscapes. This week I was inspired by the Monument Valley game's colors and flat shape approach...but I don't think it really came through. :D

My first painting in Android app "Sketchbook." Had the ref image on its own layer at 30% transparency with my painting above it but I wound up turning off the original and painting my version off the layer thumbnail.
Worked back to front, inspired by Bob Ross.
I have no idea what I'm doing--in either landscape painting or using Sketchbook! 😅 ~2 hours watching "Accident Man."

586 followers · 4681 posts · Server mastodon.artI know some artists here use SketchUp to help with their scenery and perspective; are there any web-based applications (or #Linux) that y'all use? I need to make a room and be able to float a camera around in it so I can use the model for reference. I'm warily eyeing #Blender , but it looks awful complicated.
