I don't know how to choose brushes 🙁
I will slap a mountain in the background faster than you could say fast😂😂
'Jutty uppy downy bits'?! Jazza, I'm sure your bro would have a word or two to say about that!
Wow this feels like it was forever ago, he’s come such a long way!

Drawing backgrounds are so fun but really hard. I wanna get good!
Battlements lol
18:05 like your brother
I’m still learning
Very helpful, my gosh. I'm working on a sci-fi comic, and I've yet to go beyond writing it and character design, and the environments have been giving me anxiety to think about, it's daunting. But I hadn't even thought about things like not everything needs to be detailed, and that besides telling a story, if I arrange things visually balanced, it'll help me design layouts and scenes without worrying too much about consistency and exact placement. This was really helpful
who's watching this in 2022
This video is old but it helped SO MUCH
Me whos just drawing that picture in the start with the text "Enviroments"
I love your old videos jazza ❤️❤️❤️❤️
love it and ima try it. thanks Jazza
literally just me during the whole video: woahhhhhh
Love the accent =D
Oh Jeeze , my brain is fitting with your explanations 😂😂, I like u a lot ya
Notes being taken, Jazza!
I always thought making background like houses or the world of the characters i`m making you need to master making a perfect straight line. thanks jazza!
I’m trying to finish a digital piece 🙂 thank you
I've been struggling with drawing environments for a long time but your videos have helped me improve a lot. Thank you Jazza
Hey Jazza. your tutorials help me alot! I don't know if anyone has answered this yet, or if you looked it up. but the uppy downy blocks on the castle wall is called a crenellation
What brush do you use to draw the forest? Could someone help me with that?
And u forgot the most important thing, how do u do those straight lines? and the second most important thing u ALSO FORGOT to tell, how do u paint above all that horrible gray??? useless video, I knew exactly the same before the video started -.-
Those sloty things are parapets!
Jazza: draws a deer with little to no effort and makes it looks flawless
Me drawing a deer: BLOB
I am apparently too stupid for backgrounds, not even lying
Thanks, this was great. Welp, there's another hobby I realize I suck at.
I'm not real sure if this viewer at least needs to see the inset with the presenter's face. It blocks part of the work you're demonstrating. I'd think the less distractions AWAY from the artwork would be appropriate.
What if I want it colored?? How's the process different from this grayscalish you did?
Drawing lineart: Hey. That looks pretty good!
Coloring: What the hell is that?
Man I love looking back at jazzas old tutorials they’re so nostalgic
😗😗😗😗😗ok jazza thank you
Jazza Is there ever an appropriate time and way to trace for learning to draw?
i havent watched jazza in years but i found this video when searching for background tips and the nostalgia :')

Jazza: "people who are medieval enthusiasts will laugh at me"
Shad: *laughs nervously
This was super useful thank you! God bless you and your art 🙂
Thank you! I've been having a hard time on Backgrounds to the point that I'd given up on it and focus more on portraits.
This is a great video! I'm inspired.
Awwww baby jazza
you…. you mean gradients aren't backgrounds?? 😮
The "Jutty Uppy Downy Bits" on medieval walls are called "battlements."
Just in case you never got an answer. 😛
Nice
Amazing, as always. You make this look so easy. How long did it take you to draw each of them?
Thanks for your video
I really need it to learn painting background
The only thing about this is that its a little too advanced. I think some of these artist forget that sometimes a how to should be dumbed down because im sure alot of people may have never tryed perspective an thats why their watching a how to nobody explains the basics good at all. Thats why i think its hard to be an artist because the lack of info seems like everyone is competitive an don't want to i guess Teach. idk even how to for beginners are just to advanced an minimum info not everyone is even close to a novice skill level its intimidating for beginners to keep drawing if they started like today. GUESS YA GOTTA GO TO SCHOOL KIDS.

I can't even get anywhere near the sketch. This was highly inspiring.
