  • In this part I’m just explaining what makes the PA style so unique and recognizable, and then going through the basic process of making a drawing.

      Tried to learn to draw with stick man sketches for months cause I heard you need to create a foundation of a pose. My end results are stiff like bf's drawing (2:34). Its frustrating and takes all the fun away. Fuck 'em!

      ngl I don’t use that type of stickman method, I kinda do what he mentioned when drawing the sketch at 2:05 . but I’ll use circles and stuff because it helps me know where I gotta put the hair and all that

    I feel like you explained the very simple do's and don'ts when it comes to PhantomArcade's style, like the skeleton example, When I draw, I dont use a skeleton as a base, I just draw and just go with it like you explained, then I clean it up afterwards. All in all, this is a perfect video. 10/10

  • @BBrostik

    Yo I'm so dang glad someone's finally made a video/tutorial on this. Dave's art style that he himself described as a combo of Jeff's, Egoraptor's, etc is genuinely one of my fav styles that vibes with Newgrounds' aesthetic to a T. I'm super lookin forward to more of what u gotta say on this and how dave stylises/caricatures shit in a way that is super appealing and dynamic.
    *I also hope that you delve into Dave and evilsk8er's process in the way they collab and bounce concept/character designs off each other that blends into the final designs.* I find collabs like that super interesting as it allows for more variety and individual input into what makes an appealing design when it's passed around between other artists and how they stylise specific aspects.
    *I also love what u said bout not sticking to a skeleton base/construction.* The FNF artstyle is as u said, super simplified but also extremely particular in how it deforms anatomy and exaggerates poses/facial expressions. I def agree that when it comes to extremely cartoony artstyles that a super strict and 'correct' anatomy/proportions and a super planned out base structure is almost NEVER as important as having a dynamic gestural pose/line work, exaggerated features that are clearly defined, varying line weight, colours that pop, simple but well placed shadows/highlights, etc.
    I find myself when sketching to have an extremely light and simple foundation but worrying bout details, proportions and anatomy till later and focusing on getting interesting poses, dynamic gestures and varying lines that compliment each other.
    Either way, amazing job with past videos and def excited for more of this series!!

  • @QwerpOS
    @QwerpOS Рік тому +23

    Pretty decent video, icl. Personally, on the topic of the skeleton, depending on the nature of it, it actually isn't a bad idea to use one, especially if you want to maintain consistency with proportions, which is especially important in animation. Really, the important thing is just making sure that the skeleton is flexible, allowing for tons of different gestures and viewpoints.
    For example, when I draw, I use the fred morre head and a combination of the bean and flour sack torso because not only are they simple, but they are extremely flexible, allowing for a lot of expressiveness, and are versatile, allowing for lots of different body types and gestures, all while maintaining consistent proportions. The ones you showed seem to involve way too much anatomic guess work and limited flexibility/versatility, so yeah, using those would be a terrible idea for any artist IMO.

    • @DaThugWizard
      @DaThugWizard  Рік тому +9

      For the Style in question, Skeletal sketches are a horrible idea. The fnf style isn’t proportionally accurate as explained in the video and using a very specific sketch will just limit the bouncy and flush look of it. The skeleton sketch is definitely not a bad thing, especially for beginner artist, but definitely not for this Artstyle

    • @QwerpOS
      @QwerpOS Рік тому +3

      @@DaThugWizard Fair enough. I've found that it works extremely well for me, though, just by using a bean for the body and a circle for the head while stretching and squashing it when needed, while still being able to be extremely accurate to PA's artstyle, so maybe it just depends on the artist.

  • @roj-9337

    Actually really great video! Even tho I still cant perfectly nail the PA style, Ive been drawing for one year and I see some progress! This video didnt teach me something very new, but I see you put a lot of effort into it!
    For those who still cant draw well or draw in PA style, dont give up. Like seriously, after blood sweat, and sh*t ton of drawings, youll get there. Art can be very hard, and thats ok. It took me 9 months of learning perspective, practicing line confidence, and I can finally draw bf's head pretty accurate!
    Just dont be rude to yourself. You can do it.

  • @AtomicRay
    @AtomicRay Місяць тому

    I feel like the skeleton method does work for certain art styles, but certainly not this one. Phantomarcade's style has always been more random and free than you'd typically expect, with even characters within the game itself having very large differences between one another, which imo fits for a game based on newgrounds. However if you already know the rules of your art style, and want to draw them more consistently each time, I feel like the skeleton method does work for that. although it's better to make your own skeleton rather than draw one based on real human anatomy, since you can fuck with proportions more. Great guide! I'm impressed with how in-depth you went, and will definitely help people learn to draw in this unique art style!

  • @wolfboy_777
    @wolfboy_777 Рік тому +11

    Dang, ThugWiz. This looks great! I'm surprised that the way you draw isn't that different from how I do this artstyle! I somewhat agree on the "stickman method thing," it just... it takes skill and can be helpful. Especially when you're animating. It's funny because the entire point of PhantomArcade anatomy is that it's not anatomy, if that makes any sense. Do you still want your forms and proportions to be consistent? Yes, absolutely! But that's what character sheets are for. I do think that the stick method helps for drawing things like hands, but even then it's difficult to keep track of what your doing. (Again it works for me personally, but that's with years of practice, and it depends on preference.) In all, great job Wiz! Can't wait for part 2!

    I didn't know how much I needed that "stop using stickman" quip until now.I was starting to get curious as to why I felt like dying every time I drew a model and then the character. Stylized things, especially ones that look like this, don't need anatomy too often unless others need to draw them constantly. Though, is it okay draw some kind of skeleton to get the feel of what shapes are used, how they move, that kind of thing?
