10 inspiring and helpful YouTube channels for digital artists
People are asking us how the art we share can be so good.
The answer this time isn’t so simple. An artist has his own way on shaping his style, he takes his time to experiment and so it becomes quite difficult for others to try learning his art style and making it their own. It’s even wrong.
But we can tell you that many artists learn by getting inspired by others’ art. Watching an artist while he paints can be motivating - and of course it can teach you a few technical tricks.
So, here there are ten YouTube channels you should check out.
1. FZD School of design
It’s a school founded by Feng Zhu, amazing concept artist with a lot of experience in video games, films and commercials. His videos are real episodes/lessons and they are very helpful. And, well, they even have a school in Singapore…
2. China digital painting
This channel doesn’t feature tutorials but shares full video processes by Chinese artist. In this period we are seeing many young artists inspired by an art style that’s typically Chinese - it features dramatic lighting and mood. Though such a technique can be found in other artists like Bouguereau and Rembrandt.
3. Ctrl + Paint
A channel dedicated to the digital painting in Photoshop. Very helpful for those beginners who want to learn how to use this software and how to get better with art in general.
4. Level Up!
One of the most known groups of digital art of Facebook can be found on YouTube as well. The founders are Wojtek Fus and Darek Zabrocki. Each session (episode) features a different digital artist. This is great because you can compare the different painting processes. The main theme of this channel is concept art and fantasy/sci-fi illustrations.
5. JJ canvas
This is the channel of Jorge Jacinto. He uploads speedpaintings, but they are very inspiring if you want to look at how a wonderful surreal landscape can be created in twenty minutes - in time-lapse of course.
6. Webang111
Another channel with time-lapse videos. Very inspiring if you are into colorful and cartoony illustrations.
7. Ross Draws
His art is wonderful and his videos are super funny! Check out his channel if you want to see how a fantasy illustration can be created from a simple idea - I mean, he starts with two rough lines to close the video with a breathtaking illustration. Crazy.
8. The Portrait Art
Okay, we know. This channel is not about digital art. But it’s amazing art anyway and if you are into realistic portraits, you can get inspired by watching these videos.
9. Cubebrush
Another channel with time-lapse videos, but a few are commented. The videos are about 2D and 3D paintings.
10. Noah Bradley
This artist is a master in the concept field and he doesn’t only talk about his digital method but about his career as well, giving lots of hints on how to become a better artist and how to enter in the art industry.
We hope this post helps you. Good luck!

I focus on the basic shapes first, and I find sharp lines best for this (don’t be afraid to exaggerate), like so:

Made this with a different chart because they are both nerdy in their own ways and because “Prep” doesn’t belong with either of them.
Envy: I’m never donating blood again.
Envy: The second you walk in the door it’s just questions.
Envy: Like “Where did you get it?” and “Why is it in a bucket?”
