    I'm making soome art fundamental tutorials - Tones, Shapes, Edges, etc

    Hey there, last week I decided to make some tutorials on how to study to level up art skills, it was originally just for a mentorship student of mine, but as I was making it, I thought "hey, this stuff might be useful to other people", so I've decided to make it more of a series of art fundamental lessons.

    I want to make something that will give the most benefit in the long run, and decided on some fundamental stuff, like how to paint with simple shapes and limited values, edge variations, colors and textures. In other words, things that once you know, you can use to paint basically anything with. They're some of the most useful things I've learned and make use of every day.

    I'm using a RPG level system for the lessons 😉
    level 1 - use only two tones, and shapes of no more than 4 sides.
    level 2 - same thing with 3 tones
    level 3 - 4 tones
    level 4 - 4+ tones and/or 4+ sides
    Edge control, colors, and textures will be in level 5 and above.
    I might encourage most people to stay in level 1-5 until they're quite good and having a lot of fun with the process.

    Leave me a reply and tell me what you think!

    If you want to learn art, does it seem like something you'd be interested in?
    If you're already a seasoned artist, have you got any suggestions for me?

    I'll probably throw it on youtube when it's done, so feel free to sub me there:

    I think this is a wonderful idea. I look forward to what you put out, for sure. Just the beginning of this thread with the RPG levels of art looks very interesting to me.
