    I love how when he talks, it's not: "so like, when you wanna draw dis thing, like, you do a line like that, and then like, TRY to make it like dis" and instead has a planned and scripted breakdown of the lesson and not just improvising like most art UA-camrs do.

      Most art youtubers aren't professional artists. Teaching is also a practiced skill that I feel like a lot of artists seem to ignore and think they can just teach as easily as they can draw.(Just look at the endless supply of incredibly bad unscripted but affordable gumroad videos even from professional artists)

      Proko, moderdayjames and even some of sinix design videos all are scripted, high quality art lessons. You should check them out.
      Also there's a lot of great art tips out there so....

      "Intuitive" artists who try teaching that way deserve to be kicked
      If you can't put your process into words you can still be a good artist but you shouldn't pretend to be a teacher

      @StormEngineer 4 роки тому +12

      This is one of the reasons UA-camrs like Marco or Proko and a few others stand out. Knowing what you want to say in advance is critical to making an educational video that's exciting and engaging rather than boring you to death. Lot of people make videos with the best of intentions, wanting to help, but ending up spending 15 minutes to explain something that should take 15 seconds.

    15:39 Proko is like an angel that fell from the sky and blessed us all around. That mad man made a series of the anatomy and structure of bones & muscles so good that it rivals the Breaking Bad universe and at the end you can't do anything but feel pain that Skelly isn't going to appear in future videos.

    Last June I opened this video to study character design. As you said that gesture, form and anatomy were important, I left character design classes aside and studied these items.
    Now, after almost a year and a half of studying, I'm here again and everything you said in this video makes more sense than before.
    Thank you so much for your inspiring and detailed lesson =)

I feel that my arts have more personality and life now, because thanks to the foundations, I have greater creative freedom and am not dependent on references. I started studying Blender this month (March 2024) to model and get help with more complex work.

    So... I just got into drawing after 12 years. Been playing around for a few weeks and I’ve been...happy, and but felt locked into what I was doing. I didn’t feel any progress. The simple practice of line of action is so much fun and has improved my sketches immensely. In fact the line of action sketches are better than anything I’ve done in the past. My attempts always lacked emotion and movement. Now, There are stories within one picture. Thank you so much for this homework.

    Thank you dude! I’ve really been needing someone to go through and explain their process step by steplike this. It’s actually pretty unusual that someone does this, a lot of artist will speed paint at x1000 and talk about their process in a very abstract sense that feels more like a self-help guide for depression/anxiety but never really talk you through specific decisions they’re making and why.
    This was really useful to me.

    Great video! Interesting how you started with the gesture. I’ve typically started with the sillohuette just to feel out the shape language and sillohuette, but I definitely have been working in a more cartoony style. Inner starting with the gesture is a great way to feel out the acting/ expression range of the character. I’ll be sure to try this approach on my next project!

    I came across your skillshare class (asaro head) and I thought it was the absolute best class on that website.
    I have watched that class like six times. And I often go back and study individual parts over and over again.
    I am honestly shocked to discover that the person who taught that class is YOU, the painter guy on UA-cam.
    You are an EXCELLENT teacher. It is delightful to discover that the two "great teachers" i stumbled across were actually the same person.
