    SO HELPFUL! I have been cartooning my entire life, but have not had any formal education in that area, and only recently started taking it seriously. I kind of knew a little bit about some of these tips, but it was kind of wispy accumulated knowledge over 21 years of life, so it was perfect to have these tips all lined up together in one single video, alongside others that I hadn’t considered before! I have subscribed, and will also follow up on your recommendation for the other channel you mentioned, starting with the video you suggested. I do have some questions, not sure if you will see this cuz I’m a year late, but will ask anyways in case any artist does see this and feels inclined to respond: How do you balance elements of character design - such as exaggerating and using different shape languages - with keeping your characters so they all look like they come from the same universe? Especially as an artist who works with more than one art style of a regular basis? What elements should you keep the same or similar across all characters to help them all look cohesively in the same art style? I feel like sometimes I will try to make a new character with different features and when I finish, they don’t look quite like they fit in the world I’ve bit or with the other characters’ art style. I haven’t been able to decide why sometimes this happens and sometimes it doesn’t. My other question is about how to check things like silhouette, how the character looks when it is flipped, and value with the naked eye. I am not a new artist, but typically only work with traditional art, and do not currently have means to deal with the expense of switching to digital art any time soon. I know this may just come with practice and knowledge, but would love some tips if you happen to have any. I enjoyed this video! Thank you so much for all you do, I am excited to watch another one now that I am subscribed 😊

  • @taylorlurati6034
    @taylorlurati6034 Рік тому

    This is really cool! I think it's invaluable to see how another artist spends their time. I think a lot of people just assume all the really good artists just spend every second of their waking day drawing but that's not how it really is. It's so unfortunate that your Instagram account got hacked...I actually found that account first and then followed your new one. It's very inspiring that you didn't quit after that. I totally understand how that would make you feel unmotivated, but look at you!! Still going!! Way to go!

    • @KBCalvelo

      Glad you find the video cool! 🥰 Yeah, we sometimes need to spoil ourselves a little bit because drawing consumes a lot of energy and will power haha!... I am not thinking about the algorithm anymore like I used to, so what happened to my account is for the best I guess, less stress 😂
