Paint Like the ART GODS

Published 2024-05-06
→ You know those unattainable levels of skill and creativity you see from pros on ArtStation? Today, let's climb Art God mountain and learn some actionable lessons that I've absorbed from observing these truly amazing artists over a long career. This stuff really works - I'll do a demo painting where I try to show and demystify as many of these concepts as possible.

Share you favorite Art God in the comments! What are they doing so brilliantly and what did you learn from them?

  • You are definitely on that list. I have learned so much from you since your days on Skillshare. I know my skills have grown.
  • Thank you for this video hardy!!! Being in your discord and being able to pick the brains of all the talented artists you have there and to participate in the challenges has been amazing and you have cultivated such a wonderful community. This was a great video to watch.
  • @rainbowlecat
    Recently started watching your videos and they're honestly some of the best ive seen on art youtube🙏 i could watch them for hours and get to learn from them while at it!!! My favorite artist is jason chan and his art was the thing that inspired me to start drawing but its videos like yours that help me get to that level like his👐
  • @corny3566

    Tbh you're one of my art god for sure, i learned so much from your videos and your way of painting ! Confidence is sooo hard to reach tho, but i keep going, thanks for everything Hardy 🤝
  • @n-credible0753
    I love hearing about new artists like this! It would be really cool to see a video about all your favorite artists! Once again, epic painting btw 👍

    I've always looked on to Ken Barthelmey when I was researching the skillset I need to have to become a professional concept artist. They've made so many of my favourite things in modern media. At 19 and growing up on an island, it's always been hard to find the keys to success as an artist in this genre, because this category of art simply doesn't sell around here. So I'm happy that pros like you share this information online so that those of us who want to learn can learn. It's integral right now especially because I'm trying to make up for my short comings as a creative, and you always provide me something new to study within my art, so I thank you for that.
  • @YassineCherifi
    Man you just know how to deliver and I really love every part of this video you made me wanna draw more and get better no matter how long it takes thank you so much ❤
  • @NickTerryArt
    Ismail Inceoglu is an artist I keep coming back to, so much of his stuff is just the brand of sci-fi/cyberpunk I enjoy and his messiness and simplicity has been something I've been working to emulate or at least better understand. It's exciting to learn things from a certain artist and then find a totally different artist that excites me and learn new things from them and merge all those things to make them my own. Letting your own style develop naturally over time is a really neat, personal journey!
  • You forgot to mention a very skilled art god, but maybe You just never heard of him... It's Hardy Fowler. Great art, video, advice and inspiration as always, thanks
  • Art God - Richard Corben. His stuff blew me away when I first saw it in Heavy Metal magazine back in the day. It still does.
  • @user-ec4py6lh1h
    I dont have a specific artist for me, but i really enjoy the concept work from fromsoftware, it taught me that a concept doesn’t have to be overly or jawdroppingly detailed as long as the vibe and function of it comes across
  • @hunteriadkins
    I really needed to hear this. Seriously, I can't thank you enough for these videos that you take the time to make. You and Ashley Wood are the wasteland giants of the art world for me, it always inspires me to see you post new work or videos. Thanks again, Hardy.
