I felt really upset and unproductive today, but after seeing the notification of an ABD Illustrates video, I feel a LOT HAPPIER!!! Ty for making these videos! Your voice cheers me up, and your art aint half bad either XD
Learnt how to "Frankeinstein" my reference photos in my illustration classes recently. My tutor uses the word (so I got that). Loving the pairs and the different body shapes 😍 something I struggle with
I was just finishing sketching a drawing before I got the notification, and I was inking while I watched this video in the background. It doesn't usually take me very long to ink, but it took me the entire video to do it. I'm still going to color it too. So far I've been drawing for about half an hour.
Been using your videos to study anatomy, looking at how other artists do things and why certain things look good with others is actually really helping me develop a style😊😊😊👌🌈
all I got to say I just love their designs and posing for the dances it just amazing looking I love the fact of their color combinations very beautiful together as well
Your advice is actually really helpful-- A lot of the time I don't realize I'm setting impossible standards for myself, or I'm struggling to try to follow a preconceived notion for something unique. Your advice helps me realize when I'm doing something like that, and I've really improved in both my art and my writing since. "Make a rogue covered in glitter" is something that personally really stuck with me! Thanks, ABD. You're a great person.
I love these poses, Especially the first one was really cute, although I think they all turned out great. I really like these chill videos. They are nice to have in the background while I work myself.
I genuinely want to see more of these characters, I've only known about their existence for 10 minutes and I already have an urge to draw a bunch fan art
this was awesome. And you should totally do more with these characters. I personally love the design of the orange dude in the 3rd frame, and I have seen his full drawings before.
I loved these! The facial expressions of the second pair got me thinking- did different pairs have different compatabilities based on decsisions made throughout the game and the character's personalities? I would absolutely love to see more of these characters, they've got me really intrigued.
I feel like I didn’t know I needed this episode. When you were talking about relaxing and feeling guilty when you do, I just really related to that. School work has gotten me stressed out a bit but your advice just really helped me calm down. Long story short, thanks! Also your art is AMAZING!!!
This isn’t about the art itself but I still like it should still be pointed out. I live how ABD doesn’t drag on sponsored reviews. He keeps them short, sweet, and simple and easy to understand to maybe someone who has never heard of said website and even gives an example of how he’s used it in the past before his sponsorship. Idk it just makes it feel a lot more genuine and it feels like he’s not just saying it cuz he has to say it you know?
"Hello Kitty's head on a Solid Snake's body" is the mental image I did not know I needed and even more so did not expect, but thanks for making me burst into laughter anyway XD
Hey!!! I'm new to your channel but I'm really enjoying it! Your artstyle is gorgeous and I've been watching your speedpaints on loop for a while now, it's really helping me get back into drawing so thank you! Also, those character concepts are AMAZING and I'd love to see more of them!
What if this was the next Concept Corner? I know I'm a bit late to the game when it comes to this video and the fact that Alex has already gone through this project with school, but the idea of this being the follow up to Heartless popped into my head and now it's something I'm truthfully interested in seeing. Maybe Alex could design some game bosses for their video game world. Idk, just a random thought
super excited to watch this video!! love your videos :3 your art style is very cool and your anatomy is on point, plus, you give your editing so much work
Is it weird to say that your drawings and your voice are extremely relaxing for me? I could watch your videos for hours and hours without getting tired! It's wonderful.
I love your drawings here! My favorites are the first and the third one! I thought you gave really great advice here. I really should get back into drawing. I would love to see more of these characters!
Sketchbook ! Session ! Sketchbook ! Session ! I absolutely love those things as you really end up talking about something more or less random, it really feels like a conversation and your drawing are always very diverse ! It gives me inspiration, and now, I can't wait to finish my essays and go back to drawing after months !
Alex: the third drawings my favorite because I got the pose right. Me: *sees the only one of the three with 2 bros chillin definitely NOT 5 ft apart* Sure bud, the pose, that's why it's your favorite.
Watching your videos is both an inspiration to keep working hard to improve and to not be so hard on myself as well when things don't look the way I want or turn out the way I hoped. It's always a delight, thank you for both the amazing art and the words of wisdom. Stay safe!
Siempre creí que era algo como malo si utilizaba imágenes para realizar poses por qué no era capaz de hacerlo sola, ahora sé que no es más que una herramienta para ayudarme y la verdad me encanta cuando tengo la visión del dibujo y quedo satisfecha con mi trabajo final. Gracias Abd-illustrates por tus consejos 💕☺️💯
5:08 re: space cowboys and space westerns. The reason why that particular mashup works so well, even though at first glance it seems like they wouldn’t work together at all, is because the two genres have a lot of central themes in common. With westerns, you have the American Dream bootstrap narrative, imperialism, and colonization, but at the same time an optimism for the future, the progress that brings, an appreciation for the beauty and majesty of nature, and the satisfaction of being independent and self-reliant. Science fiction has much of the same themes, and is traditionally structured as a form of social commentary. The story may take place in the far future, but the conflicts in the story mirror what we’re experiencing in the present, and often times a solution is offered to that problem
I love these characters (I would love to see these guys again I love their designs!) and these sketchbook sessions and I can't wait to see more of them! Keep up the good work!
Oh I would love to see these characters again or the other ones from this project you have. I love the idea of mixing a boat load of different genres and smashing them into one thing, very fun and cool
These are so amazing Alex! I’d absolutely LOVE to see the other characters, though I love seeing all of your OC’s and original projects lol. They’re all just so fun to watch!!!
Is it weird that my favorite part of abd's art is how he draws legs? Like, DAMN BOI, HE THICC! also, seeing so many comments talking about abd's calming voice, i feel like him screaming and yelling would be terrifying
Personally, I'd love to see the other characters and more of these ones two! Maybe take some of these and mash em' up with others or something, I don't know. You're art and what you talk about always, without fail, seem to inspire me to create and draw more things! You are one of my main sources of inspiration.
I would love to see more of these characters! You’re concepts and designs are so amazing and never fail to get my creativity flowing. I also very much appreciate all the tips. You’re like the art dad I never knew I needed 😂
OMG YOURE SO AMAZING!!! I love these small sketchbook sessions you do!! You just get to talk while we get lost in the beauty of your artwork!!!! Also I’d lOVE to see more of these characters later!!! They’re so unique!!! Fantastic job!!!!
Dude, you are one of the best art channels I am subscribed to. You give great advice, even when it’s not art related, and it’s always fun to watch you draw. Make sure to take care of yourself!
yes i would love to see more of these characters! they're different from your usual fantasy drawings and its very fun seeing what else youv come up with!
Today I wasn't feeling so good because of a dilema i'm having but Just hearing your voice and watching you sketch always brings a smile to my face and eases my worries, thank you :)
I would love to see more of these characters! I love your game concept so much, and it really seems like it could be a wellspring of new ideas. Love your work, as always, and thanks for spending some time sketching with us!
I love these sketch book sessions , good advice, and just chill in general ! I love your drawings and just hearing your soothing voice 😊please do more in the future !!!!!
I actually really like the idea of this project Mixing a bunch of characters and genres and styles of fashion and everything looking so nice in a colorful and cute mess I love messing with different styles of fashion and clothing and I'm even making a set of characters inspired by different eras of music so it would actually be super fun to see what you did with this bunch of lovable characters

That's true, a lot of artists do use some sort of reference and the clueless majority think that all artists are perfect enough to not use any

Those last two characters look very in love. I ship it XD
These videos are able to make even the darkest days better.
I loved these! The facial expressions of the second pair got me thinking- did different pairs have different compatabilities based on decsisions made throughout the game and the character's personalities?
I would absolutely love to see more of these characters, they've got me really intrigued.

aaaah, I'd love to know more about the last pair they look very interesting and their pose is really fun
"Grumpy plant-man based of Bones from Star Trek"
I want to know EVERYTHING about this person.
Re-drawing is really fun, you can see how you have improved, change things if you want and add more details!
"Make something SiMpLe"
*The characters are in super cool dynamic poses*
This isn’t about the art itself but I still like it should still be pointed out. I live how ABD doesn’t drag on sponsored reviews.

I’m in love with literally ever single one of these characters! The tv boi and the second gal with the poofy hair have my whole heart
Is it weird to say that your drawings and your voice are extremely relaxing for me?
I could watch your videos for hours and hours without getting tired!
It's wonderful.
This is the earliest I've ever been...
I just ship the guys from the last drawing sO FREAKING MUCH I LOVE THEM
Honestly your speaking helps me with drawing and just existing in general
I really love the grumpy plant dude. And I think it would be amazing to see more characters and stuff from this project.
i would die for this episodes just so i could watch them atleast weekly its just so entertaining seeing someones creativity while talking
I swear it’s illegal to have a voice as calming and nice as yours.
This idea is so freaking cute!!!! I really hope we get to see/hear more about these characters, I think it's brilliant!
I love your drawings here! My favorites are the first and the third one! I thought you gave really great advice here. I really should get back into drawing. I would love to see more of these characters!
