💬 Why This Series Is Different

I wanted to make a tutorial where you never feel lost.

You’ll see every stroke, every layer created, every Procreate setting, and every artistic decision, with supporting tips and commentary all the way through. I wanted this to feel like I’m painting right beside you. I've been doing concept art and teaching art for years and I wanted to design a landscape that would allow me to show how technical aspects of a scene like this are done in practice while also teaching the underlying art techniques that help in all kinds of paintings.
