    I have to say that you are an amazing human being just for the fact you're tacking your time to record, edit and draw to show us. I get tons of motivation after watching your videos and idk how to thank you deeply T-T thank u so so much for this

    ive been drawing for ages now, but since i started my animation degree, i noticed a *massive* improvement suddenly in my art. It was a bit strange, because i really didn't purposefully change anything about my process that i knew off since starting school, until i just watched your video!! what i was lacking before was draftsmanship, and at school i've been focusing on quickly getting assignments done instead of fussing over every detail, which inherently made me improve my draftsmanship a lot!! i never knew what this was called before!! the rest of this video is extremely helpful aswell, thank you!!!

      That is so cool to hear!! If you don't mind me asking, which animation school are you attending?(I want to pursue animation myself too:))

      @@adecorner4511 hi!! first i want to say goodluck!! animation is so rewarding and ive loved it so far! i'm currently attending gobelins for my masters atm but i originally did my undergrad at lisaa. in my experience, i loved lisaa because the staff and course felt very supportive. When i was worrying about where to do my masters, i was recommended to apply for gobelins even tho i was very nervous haha most of my basic improvement came from lisaa
      as for gobelins, i cant speak on their undergrad course since i didnt attend, but i know recently they created a new course for english speakers if you dont speak french! :)
      gobelins is definitely intense and they like you to learn animation in a very specific way, but youre surrounded by such motivated, kind people that it gets easier to manage! ive noticed students share and bounce off ideas alot, and that is so refreshing when youre stuck or overwhelmed!!
      oops sorry this is long...but i wish you the best of luck!!

    SO MUCH GOOD INFO packed into just 47 minutes. Wow. Thank you SO much for sharing you expertise in such an accesible way. I've never been more excited to take a photo, break down the shapes, then trying to draw those shapes in different ways.

    Oh god. Thanks for explaining that differently angled objects have different, but similar vanishing points. This is the thing that always gave me trouble. I used to try to make cubes in perspective and then try and fit say another cube in there. It is a way, I suppose? But it's so unnecessary and it only killed my motivation.
    So yeah, huge thank you for this video, and specifically thank you for not trying to edit out every mistake and using them to show how to fix common mistakes, like in the perspective rotation example. It can get really discouraging when an artist draws everything on their first attempt and you have no clue how to fix the mess you've made while being a beginner and trying to follow the tutorial!

    I have been drawing for a long time and struggled with it for a long time. The whole thing about being a good draftsman really changed my thinking that already I'm seeing a difference in my drawing. Thank you!

    I was having a really hard time drawing anatomy in perspective and this video made me realize all the parts that I've been skipping.
    When you went to the form part of the video and you told us to imagine what the object would look like in a different perspective. I was really having a hard time imagining it. Thank you so much for all the info and recommendations you told us to do. Will definitely recommend this video to others. New sub here! ♥️♥️

    if you ever wonder had anyone gone thru all of this vid, then there is at least one ( me :>>). I got a jump scare in the form session ( last session) I really weak and wish to improve on that subject, the first step (imaging it) already difficult for me, so glad you include it in your lesson. Thank you sensei

    hi! so i discovered you with the avatar portfolio video and was super impressed by your thought process and technical skill. this video popped up in my feed so i watched and wow, it’s late now (so i won’t draw rn) but i know next time i pick up my pen i’ll do your assignments!
    the way you explained things and put theory to practice… the sole fact you explain everything in comprehensible bits is amazing. thank you for making this available for free!
    i do not plan to make a career out of art, i do it for fun only, but for years i’ve thought that bc i wasn’t born with natural skill, that i would never be able to make good art. your tutorials might make me change my mind, and i thank you for that! keep making such helpful, useful content. take care 🫶

  • @starcloud8411
    @starcloud8411 10 місяців тому +55

    Disclaimer ! Draftmanship comes in many forms/ stages of the art process. Also don't get discouraged if you arent able to draw clean lines all the time !! As our mood changes, so does our drawing process. Also when we are learning we often draw more sketchy until we are confident. Regradless keep going, and your own process / style will speak to you.

      Thanks for saying this, trying to draw a dancer (I chose ballet cause I like my art to have flow which is not conductive to straight lines) was absolutely maddening. There’s no place to fit a line of action/anatomy supports

I am excited to learn from you and study more of your videos, I have been skimming through them daily and have chosen today to really sit down and focus on what you're saying
    take care and I hope to see whatever more you have in store for the community, you're great!! 🍉♥♥

    Yo - I've been struggling with form forever. I love how you explain it and give solid examples of how to practice and get your brain to actually think in forms. Thank you for that!
    I think most folks talk about form in terms of shading, or how important it is, but don't really go into the detail that I need for my own brain to understand the steps I need to take in order to get from where I am today to the artist I know I can be. Def love this video for that.
