Im astonished that you just casually post full blown classes for free. I can't express how helpful these have been.

What a lesson. My little characters are finally getting backgrounds that really just set up their story. How fun is this. I was getting to bogged down with lines and vanishing points. This just really clarified it to me. So grateful....

This is better than any university course. The world needs more beauty and Tim is a beautiful person! Thanks

Not not gonna lie your videos is very helpful as i do character illustration and storyboarding

Dude you're too good to be true 😢

This video is awesome, in school id use floor plans to save the time of indecision that comes with making things as you go. Obviously making things as you go can be fun, but when they're based off of a strong foundational idea it's much more fun to do and has a lot less stress. Great video, seriously

Thank you for the video. Not to devalue the previous parts of the tutorial/course, but this one I found the most useful so far.
I was trying to practice BGs and the pipeline of "references -> plan -> application of BGs to the story" helped me a lot.
Kudos!

I was looking for a video like this one for so long

As always, really useful tips here! I was just thinking recently that I wish I had a better process for drawing backgrounds and then this popped up. Thanks again for sharing your knowledge!

Absolutely … as an architect artist I always start with a complete map or floor plan so that the reader..and myself ‘haha’ know the relationship between characters and their scenes… cool talk… thanks

I'm so happy I found your channel. As an aspiring artist, I run into these kind of nerve-racking technicalities, and here you are solving problems. Thanks.

You drew with Jerome Lereculey. One of my Heroes. I met him in Bordeaux, and he drew a character from les 5 Terres, the guy is a hard-working monster.

Man i was stuck in drawing backgrounds. That was exactly as you said: i know perspective, luckily I already studied floor maps, even created a 3D model of a room (Thank you Clip Studio Paint lol), but still couldn't handle backgrounds for my comics.
Your lesson helped me get plan my background and, finally, end up having great bgs ideas and studies that thankfully now have that personality that was missing
Thank you!♥

Those insights in this series of videos are great. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience. I really like listening to your podcast on Spotify, too, when I am on the road

This was a great video.

Endless thumbnail ideas and pieces can come out of this. Thank you sensei you are the best🙌🏽

Hi Codex..great lesson. I think your saying(think,but don't over think it)and if you do(don't,forget the details) I feel like this writing, you only need so much information in a line, the rest can go in another. Lead the reader,did I win,ha😎

Hey Tim! This question might be addressed in a future video in this series, but what you do about vanishing points which are way off the page? Something like a bird's eye view of a city, where the camera is way up in the air, or like those concept arts of fantasy villages in video games?

❤

Very good video!!!

Similar to what Feng Zhu presents on the Design Cinema episodes 108 and 109. He actually goes a bit further on the Design thinking process. If you think it's valuable advice you could add some of those advices on a background advanced video at the end of this series or something similar.

I'm loving this series and the amount of knowledge that you are providing for people week after week. For free on top of everything!
