Learn Professional Environment Concept Art in Krita. (Udemy.com)

This course was a good match for me in the sense that it helped me become much more comfortable working digitally, especially inside Krita. I started the course mainly because I wanted to lose the hesitation I had with digital tools, layers, importing images, transforming assets, building a scene in stages, and understanding how a digital concept-art workflow is organised. In that sense, the course delivered. The instructor clearly knows the process and the demonstrations are useful, especially in the early and middle sections, where the workflow becomes very clear: gathering references, importing images, transforming them, adjusting perspective, building the composition with layers, and then integrating everything through painting, values and colour adjustments. However, after a certain point the return on investment became lower for me. A lot of the later material felt more like watching a production workflow than learning new tools or principles. The process became mostly photobashing: cutting, transforming, placing, adjusting and polishing many image assets. That is useful to understand, but I personally did not feel the need to follow every single step, because many of the techniques were repeated. For someone who wants to learn a full photobashing/concept-art production pipeline, the course is valuable. For someone like me, who mainly wanted to become comfortable with Krita and understand the logic of digital image construction, the strongest value was in the earlier sections and in the first full demonstrations of the workflow. Overall, I am glad I took the course. It gave me confidence with digital work, made Krita feel much less intimidating, and helped me understand how concept artists can build complex images using photos, layers, transformation tools and paint-over techniques. I would not say every section had the same value for my personal goals, but the course definitely helped me reach the objective I had when I started it.

Î'm very new with digital painting in general and i am using Krita since a couple of years without drawing or sketching like other Krita-Users. And now i'm very fascinated about to see what Krita can do. I need practice but after a couple of years i'm understanding how digital painting works, i didn't knew how to use layers and without knowledge about blending or shading. It's a great course.

Just finished the course. All the time I have learnt from youtube. This was the first course i bought a concept art course it was amazing learnt a lot of new thing The photobashing Advance was a little hard but overall it was perfect for me (Who has never done Concept Environment before)

The course info is extensive on the subject of creating concept art and use digital painting techniques along with the use of photo's. Very good for beginners and creators that have a basic knowledge of using digital painting programs. Even though the accent of Ethan can be somewhat confusing at times, he is a great teacher and a fine artist.

Overall the course did its job to teach how to create concept using Krita. The course focus more on the process and technique used by the teacher himself. Yes its very practical. But I would appreciate if the teacher remove the graphical intro (& the sound effect) in every video. It's getting bit annoying every time a video start. It's enough to have 1 in the first video. Thank you.

Super informative, easy to follow. I especially like how the lessons are following each other in a logical order, referring back to past modules, using what was learnt there. And it is very beginner friendly. I have 0 experience in drawing or art, but the tutorial helped me to draw basic things. (have not finished the course yet)

Ich arbeite bereits eine Zeit mit Krita habe aber dennoch ein paar nützliche Wegen gefunden an Tools zu kommen oder sie zu nutzen. Ich finde es deckt im Grunde genau das was mir im Bereich Environment Art fehlt. Die Untertitel sind aber manchmal echt total daneben, man versteht den Tutor aber sehr gut. Super gut vermittelt.

Ethan is an amazing teacher. This course paces itself well to scale from a beginner to intermediate. I'm grateful for the fundamentals and opportunity to learn Krita better as well as creating some ideas that can be reworked into my portfolio. I'd love to take more classes so please make them Ethan!!

The audio was a bit difficult to listen to in the beginning however it does improve. I have precomputer drawing/painting, sketching knowledge however not much in the advanced area. including some techniques that I would use in 3D modeling that would never occur to me to use like this. It's a great course just hang in through the audio issues I think it's worth it.

This is an incredible course! Previously I had no idea of the power of photo bashing. There are a lot of art software training courses out there that show you only what each tool in the software does but then go no further. Ethan's course is the exact opposite. He walks you through creating different concept art examples step by step to the finished product. He is a very talented artists so his examples are top quality. He doesn't go into great depth on how to use each tool in Krita, but covers just what you need to know to achieve similar results. With that said, you might also want to take another course that talks about the tools more, but those types of courses seem to be plentiful, whereas this type of course, where a talented artist shows you the complete process, especially specific to Krita, are harder to find. Well worth the cost!
