I would have loved if more people were able to break down only the most relevant information like this. Great course for professional looking environment artworks.

It was not what I excepted, I thought I would be learning actual digital painting, and rendering. However, there is lots offered if you're into photoshop texture brushes and photo bashing, and want to learn more about that, then this is perfect for that.

I really felt like I learned a lot from this course. It really demystifies the whole process surrounding concept art, learned makes me look at the art of professionals in a different light.

The course overall was very nice. I am glad to go through it. I will suggest that the tutor can be a bit more detailed on this brush flow. It was a bit difficult to know which brush he was using and some process before painting was not shown. Some of the photo resources used in the course I couldn't get them. Took me a whole lot of searching to find an alternate. Nevertheless thank you for taking your time to make this course available. God bless you.

Although still very much a beginner, I thoroughly enjoyed learning new processes as well as tips and tricks for creating an art world. Hardy's approach keeps learning interesting and is done so at a great pace; not too fast where one misses things and not too slow where your mind starts wandering to other places. Awesome course!

So far, I'm a little nervous. I want to improve my art a lot, and I think I will. I'm quite a slow learner, but hopefully by the end of these videos i'll be feeling much more confident about my art! I can't give up quite yet!

Hardy Fowler is slow to respond to students. He took 2 weeks to answer my question (which was a pleasant surprise that he answered at all -- and it's why I am raising my rating to 3). he pointed me to his Discord server, but I don't see him regularly interacting with the students there, either. In addition, his projects typically involve layering one texture over another over another, and he leaves these visible as ghosts without really unifying them (see the Ironwood Forest "Final Polish" video for the most salient example). I'm going to have to look elsewhere, both in Hardy's courses and other courses from different instructors, to get a better idea of which textures to use, how much to use them, and how to unify them effectively.

Fascinating. As a beginner things are moving fast, but not a problem I just watch the lessen over again. If I miss something I can just come back.

Preso in sconto a 10 euro ma non ci spenderei di più. Ripetitivo ma chiaro, questo corso è per chi ha già una base artistica ma è alle prime armi, ti dà pochi trucchi utili per velocizzare il lavoro come l'uso di shapes e texture esterne. Praticamente 4 ore in cui ti dimostra come una sola cosa può essere utilizzata per un intero dipinto...

This is an amazing course and all the courses by this instructor are Super helpful! I absolutely love his format and how he gives different examples of the theory, while also providing repetitions of things he teaches so we get the knowledge. Absolutely happy and thankful for this course
