Вставка
- Опубліковано 18 гру 2019
- Peter Han is an incredible artist, instructor and the author behind the well known art book “Dynamic Bible”. He joined us at the Proko booth during this year’s Lightbox Expo to record a few demos. In part 1 he talks about training to draw from imagination while drawing a dwarf and hog. He’ll take you through the thought process behind constructing a fantasy character while explaining line work and adding shadows with ink.

m c??,
@@vivatrinacria You have mental issues.
Can you PLEASE please Aslk Peter how did he start with that unique shape though..the arc and side of face HOW that's a specific shape already..seems like it was pre-planned or forethought a little already..
.THE GUY SPEAKS FLUENT 'ARTISTIC PASSION'.
Yes.
Yah
He's an instructor at Art Center College of Design.
That's probably where that firm directive voice comes from.
Whoever is reading this,
I hope you have a great day!
Here is some artist inspiration for you 🎨 ✨

I've never found getting flexed on so fascinating to watch.
That's what I was thinking. Like, damn dude. I can draw decent, but this dude and Peter Draws are masters!
Nathan I know it’s great.
Really, you think this was so great... then if you watch BrotherBaston, Sinix Design or/and Emilyena, you will have a heart attack.
@@PochoNieves Those channels are cool and thanks for the recommendations but I can't see how what they are doing is on the same level as this guy honestly. They are skilled for sure, but they just aren't doing the same things. From what I've seen they all seem to be speaking over streams of digital artwork that were clearly originally several hours long, time-lapsed and clipped to be 10-20 minutes.
What Peter Han is doing here is way more impressive to me. He has no undo, no references, very little pre-planning, does it all in ink, and pretty much within 30 minutes. All while also commenting the whole time.
So yeah, no heart attack here.
@Pocho Nieves: I just checked their art. Those guys aren't bad but look kinda average to me. They look too much like a lot of other "internet artists" (10 a penny on sites like DA, different people but very similar looking material, so, easily "lost in the crowd"). So if you think they're better than this guy, then people like Mitch Byrd, Simon Bisley, Virgil Finlay & Moebius will give you a heart attack. The good thing about these artists too is that their styles arent the same as a dozen other well known artists. They look unique enough to easily tell the artist just by looking at the picture, and, like this Pete Han bloke, their art is much more intricate and detailed.
Peter : explains process very clearly.
Me : Must be those brush pens...
Lol, brush pens are super hard to use!!! Really the best thing is just get a bunch of art supplies and find what gives you the art you want. Rn I use super soft color pencils because I like variation in my opaqueness but I cannot erase, which allows me to still search for shapes/etc but I am building confidence in my line placement. I use a lot of pens that give super solid no-variation lines because it fits my style. But I can also paint with acrylics, watercolour, gouache, and use brush pens, pencils, charcoal, pastels (chalk and oil), POSCA and other paint pens, paper, etc. Took me two years but now I know what I like :)
It’s funny cause thats how I was when I first started drawing.
he's got life flowing from his imagination through to his fingertips, my hat is off to Peter.
I've spent so much because I think"this thing will make art better" rookie mistake lol
@@lunarlight2585 i've found the secret tho, training visual shapes with brush pens is very easy because brush pens forces you to make interesting shapes because of how hard it is to control. It'll take you longer but you'll turn out better after using brush pens.
Did that guy just interview himself???
Lol yes. He's amazing!
He interviewed himself while drawing better than all of us at the same time 😂😭
@@Getcakedieyoung23 lol for sure, I want to talk like he did there for like one week...see what people say...
Omg lol
ahaha!
Peter should do TED talks. He speaks with such conviction about art....it's so inspiring!
True
Yeah! He is very passionate.
Don't hesitate and it comes out as the only action you can do.
@Vismund yup. Yes awesome.
Not saying what he said is wrong, but speaking confidently is important if you want to sell people your stuff.
My god, not only he's inking without an underlying sketch, he's also interviewing himself while he's doing it
Dude sometimes I even forget to breathe when I'm inking...
Who is your god?
@@ThisMyhandlenow Probably Peter Han
Im an introvert like HARDCORE, but after sharing art with other artists makes me realize that my drawings are better than i noticed and other artists are the NICEST people youll ever talk to.
All the artists I met are complete assholes that act high and mighty so that made me more introverted
@@revenga01 some are, usually when they think art is easy or simple.
People with passion about the work they are doing are usually nice. Artists especially since most got into it via hobby and passion.
Some tips I wrote that he said during the video:
.
.
.
- Most common mistake is about Proportion
- Draw the basic shapes when trying to draw new things.
- Think about your intentions when you draw. Draw in layers of intentions.
- Don't overwork a drawing.
- Commit to the line, commit to the shape.
- Give subtlety and care when drawing fabric materials.
- Always know what you're trying to do.
- Give it time
- Don't get tunnel visioned.
- Be consistent, find your strengths and weaknesses.
- Don't rush, have a clear intention and have fun!
- Draw everyday.
- Explore different things when you draw to avoid burnout.
- When shading, go from general to the details.
- Be quick in the beginning
- Use thumbnails for problem solving.
- Cross contours increase volume.
- Be consistent when hatching, follow the form
- Being knowledgeable about shape design is the industry standard.
- Move on when you are satisfied with an image, and do more drawings!
Missed the most important one. Draw for fun.
@@daniel4647 I didn't miss it xD ; It's after ''Don't rush, have a clear intention'' Sorry, I was typing as I was hearing him say it.
Thank you!!
he talks to much🤣 ikr
Your words should be on a poster or something.
It's like a 30 minute signature. No stopping
Im slower, my drawings are like 1-2+ hour signatures :(
@@ncshuriken so is everyone who isn't a specific type of professional artist tbf

@Sigma Freud & @Ben_Shephard:
Cool well thats a comfort to hear. Thanks for the encouraging words :)
Yeah this looks fake
This is free content? Holysh!t. Guy give years of experiences for free. Awesome!
Artistic pay forward.
Follow his twitch account.
the trick is 99.9% people won't understand any of it. and the 0.1% understands it and wants more so they paid to join his class. Win/win
@@GiganticTOFU is it true?
Draw near to God. And have an eternal life, peace, Joy, And the only way to God is through Jesus, who is God himself.
The so called "World elite" is a slave of satan, and dont want you to know the truth. Even SIRI is programmed not to answer the question "Who is Jesus"
When other worldly false leaders such as Budha, mohammed, krishna, satan answered with enough explanation...Seek the truth Open your Holy Bible, and get The eternal life the world (satan and his "elite slaves )doesnt want u to get through Jesus , and receive the eternal life,
Jhon 14:6
Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.
7 If you had known Me, you would know My Father as well.
Not only does Peter very artistically talented but his verbal articulations while drawing simultaneously is amazing. His story telling, educating with power conviction.
"Not every piece is about rendering it to a photo realistic level..." I need that tattooed on my arm.
Same 😂
Photo realism is so boring too.
I think that comment was directed toward people who are capable of drawing on a photorealistic level in the first place. 😉
Semi realistic would be enough with stylized portrait
That's a bit too much for being tattoed on your arm, make it short xp
3:25 Dude finds a plastic cup with leftover coffee, ponders for a moment, shrugs, and finishes it.
thanx fa the easter egg lulz
DonReba lol
Haha, good catch :D
Uhhhh....5 hour rule?
this isn't related to the video but, lol
7:20 There. The way he in one stroke draws a varied and decisive looking line that defines the shape without any repetition and with such speed is the sign of a real master.
it takes a lot more to be called a master. with all respect to peter han.
@@magma169 Haha, most definitely sir -- that might be a sign, but it's certainly no test.
if you scribble in a certain way you can learn this. try to surprise yourself and let go of conscious control. you can regain it and give these "random" lines a distinctive look, like clothes, rocks, leafage, ...
This is something I notice in particular with him and Kim Jung Gi. Those long, confident, unbroken strokes that they do are so impressive, and watching them do it has actually helped me.
@@magma169 I’m curious as to who is a master by your standards if he does not make your qualifications.
"Art is never finished, only abandoned."
made me rethink my while life for a sec lol.
That sounds so sad...
that's so not true wtf lol
Drawing, itself, is hard enough but this guy talks and draws with no problem. Shows how experienced he is.
That dude: makes an art piece in 15 minutes.
Me: wastes 4 minutes trying to draw a circle.
He has done countless hours of drawing practice, probably had many sleepless nights to reach to the point where he can draw like that.
If you haven't put that much hard work then it's just hopeless to compare. Remember, to reach to where he is now you have to work twice as hard cause you will never catch up with same hard work as him....
every stroke he is making, has many years experience in it. keep practising and you’ll make it.
Not wasting, friend. Putting 4 minutes into your shape drawing tank. We can't get to his level without putting those minutes in, and they are never wasted.
"wastes"
great job making it all about you
The things he says are great techniques on how to deal with life in general. He describes such a peak mental state for someone striving to make their ideas and dreams come to fruition. Everything is perspective and the infinite possible angles you can view things from and how to use each angle to better yourself and evolve as a person in a positive way.
That's kinda deep for a quick drawing lesson!
That's Peter Han.
Well put :)
That's one of the reasons I am learning how to draw on my own. Because now I am learning how to learn.
@@bydefinition7964 you can actually get it from a lot of artists among other practitioners of a craft. There's something about dedicating yourself to such a thing involving constant improvement through trial and error experience that allows us to realize and gain insight on life itself.
@@denis_ds Same. I've been drawing since I was 4 tho. It's only into my adulthood and after much trauma and tribulation and a sort of voluntary vulnerability that now through art I am discovering myself more than ever.
Peter is that rare balanced combination of brilliant artist and teacher. 5-6 years ago I took his Dynamic Sketching 1 class on the CGMA site about 6 years ago. If you’re stuck, if you never really took drawing classes but you have the passion, if you’ve been drawing for years but feel frustrated and want to propel yourself to the next level, take the class. Peter’s Dynamic Sketching classes will force you to face shortcomings and solve them, force you to be a true student again (there’s serious homework for several weeks). For the record, I was 56 when I took that class and had been drawing all my life-have nothing to do with CGMA and have not taken another class on the site. But that class propelled me forward and ignited an old passion. If you’re interested in a small taste, I believe Peter’s Dynamic Sketching 1 has a teaser of about 20 min (for the first class only) somewhere here on UA-cam.
This is exactly what I needed.
I started taking as many art classes in high school as I could, but those classes pushed more towards replicating real life scenes or pictures. It chipped away at my creativity, and instead have I become the best _replicator_ in the school.
Same here. I'm excellent at replicating other cartoon art. But, I want to make something of my own that I can share and be proud of. I want my own personal ideas. I can't take credit for redrawing someone else ideas.
i think that's part of the process. you have to know the basics first and how images in real life works before you set off on your own (at least that's what i think). :^) if you feel like you're just copying and not really observing the objects that you're "copying" in real life maybe you're doing something wrong.
Me too 😔 but I’m improving without references
I have had a lot of trouble drawing lately and have lost a lot of drawing confidence. This video really helped
I have this problem to lately. in a big way. One thing that helps, is remembering that the pros that we look up to have phases like this too, but they just ignore it, show up at the drawing table every morning, and produce shity art untill that phase passes. another thing I noticed they do is try new techniques or styles when they don't feel like working. Basically they'll do anything but stop.
Thanks that’s really helpful 🙂
When I’m having “artist block” I can’t even watch somebody else draw, just makes me mad at myself, the fact that you having troubles but here on UA-cam watching a great artist draw means you already in the process of fixing that problem. I honestly feel the same way often, but WE can’t let that stop us..so keep goin, keep drawin, yo head in the right place.
@@sebastiandiaconu1221 funny thing is that even the "best" work I've produced is terrible and pails in comparison to what pros. Regardless, I like my amateur drawings not because they're good, but I'm making progress and can see what needs to be improved.
I think same could be applied to many skills. In Starcraft 2 I was burning out n major loss of confidence, then i tried something new then i played better than ever. Then just doing that new thing I began to stagnate again.
We're lucky to live in a world that features so many talented artists... but what a true rarity it is to find those who can "translate" the magic of what they do into words. Many thanks.
Great advice from Peter Han that caught my eye:
1. Draw with a clear intention, what do you what your piece to show, what do you want the focus to be
2. When getting critic from others don't focus only on what's not working, also focus on what is working (so avoid only seeking negative critic, and also avoid only seeking positive critic)
3. Drawing from imagination is based on your experience and knowledge of the basic shapes of the objects you're drawing.
I wrote the exact same 3 pieces of advice into my notepad!! I think these are really things I needed to hear and will help me a lot
"Do what ever you like to that like button"
*Smiles creepily*
I love how he mentions that dwarves have very blockish design and the very first thing he draws on the dwarves' head is a square block. Both very inspired and mundanely literal.
My god! Proko just basically turned me on to Peter Han just now! I’ve been dealing with ADD my whole life but have learned how to cope. Peter Han’s voice, instruction and incredible gift for explanation has been absorbed by my brain so clearly that I feel such inspiration to try his way of drawing as soon as I can get to it! Peter don’t ever ever stop teaching! You have a gift. Trust this 58 year old illustrator wannabe!
How's it going now? Made any improvements on your work?
Not only is this video a display of tremendous skill and passion in drawing, it's also a masterpiece from a pedagogical perspective. Peter Han is a phenomenal teacher.
to think that he's drawing a cool picture and giving valuable advices while doing it at the same time, that's superbly impressive,
as usual, thank you Proko!
I just wanna say as someone that couldn't afford to finish art school, I am very grateful for videos like this.
Thank you for the TED talk
Peter Han is a genuinely good guy, he also really cares about helping the next generation of artist
"I've used one pen, for the entire thing."
every brush pen artist
Lol yeah
Peter: My friend call me printer.
me: *chuckle* Printer Han.
?????

@@BasedAlaric People require no IQ to understand this unless statement.
I love how he isn't conventional and starts with a point stroke of a pen and just fills in the rest of the details.
Man, what a great artist and teacher! He explains so clearly and confidently!
Speechless. I am beyond words.
talked with him and his wife at comic con, had a nice chill conversation
I always liked hearing from peter in the ask artist vidoes, so cool that he did a demo now!
As a musician, I find his words immensely helpful.
This has become my favorite video on UA-cam ever, I’m going to rewatch this many times, thank you so much and I’m going to look into this man from now on
this was extremely helpful. Thank you so much Proko for always posting videos like this! 💕
wow I’ve never heard anyone explain something so well and efficient before, this was SO informative I might get that book of his
Feels like yesterday when I was sitting in front of Peter, I had the amazing chance of learning from him! He really is something else with his art and how he teaches.
You're not just a great artist but a great teacher as well you explain things in a way that people can understand.
I love how Peter sounds. His voice alone is inspiring.
Santa Proko, you give us so many gifts ! Thanks alot.
Peter is a fast thinking and fun teacher, he has a new sub.
The way he effortlessly and so quickly use the angles of the pen to make thicker lines in incredible. What a talented artist and a great talker.
Incredible video, so inspiring! I know of Peter Han but haven’t ever heard him speak in depth like this before. So much wisdom crammed into this, would love to take a class of his.
I really like the way he teaches.. Hes great at communicating how his drawing proces is. Really amazing stuff :)
Notice at 1:26 how the fold in his left sleeve creates a line that suggests volume in the 2-D image we see on our screen. Truly a master-teacher demonstrating his theories in realtime
I can watch him for hours upon hours!!
Fantastic stuff. Thank you, Stan for introducing me to this brilliant artist/teacher/illustrator etc...
Wow this guy is absolutely excellent and so eloquent at speaking and describing drawing as well as being an artist as he's doing it! Fantastic!
Stan and the team, thank you for these invaluable videos which have been coming out non-stop lately! They are truly Christmas and New Year’s treats I sincerely cherish!
This was the most inspiring thing I've seen for the end of the year!! Thank you Peter and Proko!!
The force is strong with this one. Great advice. I’m going to have to watch this periodically to remind myself to enjoy the process and don’t worry about the results. Every drawing is a chance to learn and grow.
I love this. I've always just started drawing without a outline and this is so helpful to see someone do it the same way
I Love The way He Talks and Interviews himself
He is so inspirational. I've been telling myself the exact same things he says for the past few years, but I learned them in bits and pieces and never convicted to any of them. He condenses into a single amazing video, which is literal gold. I am so glad I found this now. Everything he says is so on point and is precisely what I need to listen to.
Watching Peter draw was fascinating but his advice about studying an object and then trying to draw it from memory and also the advice about figuring out your objective to keep from overworking the art was invaluable!
He is so good at explaining his process and mindset. It is both insparational and motivational.
He is simply brilliant !!!! Intelligent artistic...great clarity and very articulate. He is so much fun to watch ...wow...wish he could be my art teacher
I met Peter once or twice when we were both students at Art Center. He was crazy good then, but this demo shows how much effort he's put in since.
Peter Han is not only a talented artist, but an extremely inspirational and knowledgeable teacher.
Watched this a bunch of times already, and yes Proko I do want to watch it again! Thanks for bumping it 👌🏻✍🏻
I feel like this year's 12 days has a theme going. So many nuggets of wisdom between this one and Kim Jung Gi's interview. Thank you soooo much for doing this, it completely transformed my mind set. Merry Christmas, Stan - you are indeed the best art teacher I've ever encountered :)
He was a little bit intense for me in past interviews but I'm happy to say I've changed my mind. His teaching style suits my learning style. 😮 it doesnt feel like I wasted any time. This has been very helpful to me. 😊 thank you, proko!! I wouldnt have been able to see Peter otherwise.
Just Love this video.. The mental process when sketching is hugely important.. and his commentary through out is amazing..
This video taught me many things. Not just in drawing but in approaching things in general like work or reasearch or life. He is a great guy. Thank you for the video.
Perfect Artist to teach this. Awesome!
I really love his work , and I'm waiting for the reprint of his book.
i really love the way he teaches! please invite him to do more videos cuz i've found that there are not many interviews or videos of him and his process and i find it really motivating!
I've never felt so inspired in my life, what an amazing artist
Proko you're doing insane work ! Thank you!
YES! thank you been waiting to see a Peter Han episode - these are so useful, really amazing stuff thank you :)
This guy is amazing, speaking clearly, thinking about everything around the drawing, explaining stuff, and does it all fluently.
15:46 i think composition is one of the most important yet overlooked things in art. glad Peter talked about it!
Damn this video came at the right timing
am walrus same bro same.
i took his dynamic drawing course, learned soo much.
Actually one of the best videos I've seen on tips for drawing.
You can apply the way he speaks about art to life and it works too. Wow!
Most artist are not able to express their thought process. but It's rare to find a good artist like him who is able to verbally explain their exact thoughts when he draws.
Peter Han is amazing, he is a great teacher and has his own stream on twitch.
Thank you for showcasing your pen! Really helpful to see traditional tools, especially a pen that gives you a variety of line weights at once.
This is excellent. One seldom gets to see the stroke by stroke creation of a very skilled artist at work. And his detailed narrative was one of the best I've ever heard by a practicing artist. So I really admire this artist even though my own drawings have nothing to do with this type of cartoon art. A rare treat!
Incredible artist and an amazing communicator
Wow. I've never learned so much about an artist's (successful/productive) mindset until now and I've been a quasi-artist all my life. This explanation just COMPLETELY changed my entire approach to the drawing table. Thank you so much for presenting this! And Master Han if you ever come across this, know I am forever indebted. Continued success to you.
Lots of talent and confidence in the strokes, from practice and passion.
So many amazing lessons in such a short period of time, he's amazing!
love this drawing from imagination videos : )
@1:45 I remembering doing this technique with my friends when we was younger.. we sketch out make monsters and make our own card matches !! I miss those days
holy moly... he is such an inspiration....this video so Blessed me and my going forward art journey!!!
Thanks proko for bringing these types of videos for us and inspiring us to draw more
"Experience is another name for our mistakes" 🤘🏼
This low-key how I create my music sometimes. Absolutely amazing! Learned a lot, thank you for this free content!! 🙏🏼🙏🏼
You and I seem to clearly create different music because I learned nothing from 7 years of fucking up lol.
This man draws as if it's like breathing. Magnificent to watch.
Man this is gold! Finally someone who talks about what he thinks and not just putting down lines
Peter doles out so much good values, basically applicable to all aspects of life.. not just drawing! fantastic stuff right here.
he is basically on Kim jung gi level in this video
That was an incredible demonstration. We need more like that. Speed and confidence is something I lose sleep over because I just can’t get it. This gave some strong idea of how to think differently about that.
Your take on art has a lot of things you can apply to better our everyday life. You're amazing my guy.
