It's really helpful to know that even after 20 years of drawing, you still struggle with things sometimes. That gives me so much more confidence that "Practice makes perfect" and mistakes are ok.
I love hearing your insight into how you approach and think about drawing. You talk specifically about certain techniques you do and I find that hard to come by, a lot of artists will talk about things not directly related to what theyre drawing and your narration is very well paired with what youre working on.
I love your style and david finchs, and as a guy who also loves to draw (especially comic type art), I really enjoy the tutorials. Especially traditional and anything anatomy, gesture, dynamic, how to draw fights or rendering. I know you've done these types, but that's what I really like or your process when you have an assignment. Thanks for all the videos you've done so far!
I enjoy watching your videos. The tips you drop casually are super helpful and informative. I love your dry humor and tone. I watch all your videos and take notes consistently. Keep doing what you're doing and don't get discouraged by the algorithm of this platform.
You mentioned the amateur tendency to “over-render” - this is something I definitely struggle with, and my work lacks dynamism, and can look very heavy. Can you talk more about stylization, and how you decide what forms to omit, and how you make those design choices? Also, I would love to see something taken from sketch to ink, maybe a multi-part set of videos? Awesome work, and I look forward to seeing more!
I think I saw someone else mention this, but I have a really hard time simplifying things, especially if I'm using a reference. I used to help my kids with their art and now I find myself having to refrain from giving advice at times because their styles are closer to where I want to be, in regards to simplification. Long story short...a video on knowing where and when to hold back on detail would be great! I do manage to pull it off sometimes, and I love the feeling of satisfaction I get from it, but I'd like to be more consistent. Loved this video!
I enjoyed watching you draw the faces and discussing your process and thoughts about technique, even if other artists have done similar videos, it is nice to hear from a variety of artists on the same topic. Show us how you use reference, or how you draw specific scenes, objects or textures, show us your experimentations with other media that you are not as familiar with. I like all of those things when they are coming from skilled artists such as yourself.
I'm a huge fan. You've been a big part of my artistic journey. My suggestion is to keep going with the traditional drawing videos. Digital is all well and fine, but it kind of sucks the romance out of the art. So, thumbs up! Great video! You keep making them, and I'll keep watching them!
i like the process that you are taking with working out the details of facial structure and I see alot of what I do with what you are doing. I do not have access to Digital hardware to start working in that format so this is great
2 things I would like to see more 1: is you not speeding up your videos. YT can ad me all they want for Roberts stuff, I watch it all the way through. 2: I really struggle with using/seeing the negative space and using it. Maybe you have some tips to put in a video for seeing the negative space. Thanks coach!
I have followed your channel for a long time I enjoy the stuff you do, please don’t turn in to a UA-cam fake person I hate those channels it’s cool seeing someone be real on camera instead of stupid click bait gimmick videos or trying to piss people off with fake political crap, your knowledge on art is always appreciated thanx for the content and stay true to you!
Thank you for this video. As a matter of fact, that Banner drawing got me curious, what are the bases you set when drawing postures, or characters with intent? I don’t know if I explain myself correctly, but let’s say you are about to draw a character that is about to jump, or to run, to fly, whatever, do you stop and detail body language, facial expressions, something else? And, yes, a “hair video” would be nice, as well. 😄
Thanks for the tips. I like the idea of create mood boards with artists art for head and faces, to have something easy to have to do quick practices. For Head and Faces do you know any artist with a "classic comic style" to recommend, to study? not too stylized.
Really cool!! I got nervous when u erased most of the original drawing lol….why dont u just try to erase just areas with guidelines? Also, any tips on drawing the same face but turning at different angles with diff expressions?
Awesome video, have done comic studies and anatomy studies for the face and its features but i usually struggle with simplifying facial features for some reason. Any tips on that? Your advice on learning from cartoonist and comic artists is good too so ill still keep mixing anatomy and artist studies together
I struggle with expressions and fluid facial structure for those expressions. I really like tip for sometimes less is more and find the reference of the facial structure you want to use not necessarily the EXACT expression. knowing Body Language and Expression tell Most of the story those are paramount to learn.
I'd like some real-time sketching. Finch said its good to draw along with an artist, rather than just watching, as it stays in your mind more and helps you understand the proper process of drawing
The biggest thing for me is drawing more realistic faces like comic book heroes(what I’m more going into). I was big in drawing dragon ball z and stuff like that but moving into more realistic space is harder. Faces have always been a issue as lip eyebrows eyes all have a more realistic look to them so I struggle. I just got finished drawing Wonder Woman and the body is super proportionate but the face isn’t my favorite which is the biggest thing.
I am having a terrible time with my proportions! I can copy well but on my own, it comes out all wonky. I'd like to see more gothic horror art. It might sound stupid but I'd like to see how to draw skulls and werewolves where you mix animals, hair, scales, and human anatomy.
I don't understand how your art is this incredible and yet supposedly you're not getting any commission from marvel or DC. Do you often seek out a cover page commission? Or are you just trying to get hired to do interior? Cuz from the ton of stuff ive seen in Marvel , your art is far superior.
Idk how you hold a pencil like that. Close to watching every video you’re posting on every platform and I’ve tried to copy the way you just hold a pencil(mainly thumb under the pointer) and it just doesn’t work well for me. 😂😂😂 to each their own
"What makes art exciting is the viewer connecting the dots" love that advice.
I like this format, traditional art more then digital art.
I second that.
Agreed
It's really helpful to know that even after 20 years of drawing, you still struggle with things sometimes. That gives me so much more confidence that "Practice makes perfect" and mistakes are ok.
Practice makes progress!
Your absolutely incredible with your talent. So effortless
I love hearing your insight into how you approach and think about drawing. You talk specifically about certain techniques you do and I find that hard to come by, a lot of artists will talk about things not directly related to what theyre drawing and your narration is very well paired with what youre working on.
I love watching you draw. This was hypnotic. I really like how you plan out your drawing then erase it to find your lines.
I love your style and david finchs, and as a guy who also loves to draw (especially comic type art), I really enjoy the tutorials. Especially traditional and anything anatomy, gesture, dynamic, how to draw fights or rendering.

More traditional art! Love watching your pencils!
Thanks for this, Robert. It's beautiful to watch your sketch evolve and I really appreciate the thoughtful dialogue that accompanies your drawing.
You mentioned the amateur tendency to “over-render” - this is something I definitely struggle with, and my work lacks dynamism, and can look very heavy. Can you talk more about stylization, and how you decide what forms to omit, and how you make those design choices?

Very neat video your how to draw comic book working for me sir enjoy rest of Friday afternoon take care

I can't tell you how to improve your channel, but congratulations for you drawings, love it.
Thanks for the video.
Thanks for the video! Appreciate you explaining on capturing expression, this is something I've working on.
i like the process that you are taking with working out the details of facial structure and I see alot of what I do with what you are doing. I do not have access to Digital hardware to start working in that format so this is great
My wife walked in on me drawing and said my drawings look AMAZING now thanks to you😅😅
Loved this video! I've been studying only painting for years which has made my drawing skills kinda fall behind. Your videos help me study.
You make it look so easy!!! I'd give almost anything to be this good
Awesome Rob, thank you! Format and subject were excellent, expressions and proportions are my current focus so this was helpful.
Can you do a video on the 3 quarters view, and shading the face? Please and thank you.

2: I really struggle with using/seeing the negative space and using it. Maybe you have some tips to put in a video for seeing the negative space. Thanks coach!
Hey loving your videos, what I could really get help with is taking real life people pictures and converting them into a more cartoon style.
I love your videos and they are really helping my art , my dream is to be a comic illustrator, I'm having a lot of trouble with , gestures and posing

I am enjoying these videos. Thanks for the videos.😊
Wow, what an incredible channel!
Yours tutorial vídeos its so cool, and help me and my friend.
Thank you for the traditional act
I love seeing you use traditional materials here, as opposed to digital. What kind of pencil, lead, and paper are you using here?
Thank you for this video. As a matter of fact, that Banner drawing got me curious, what are the bases you set when drawing postures, or characters with intent? I don’t know if I explain myself correctly, but let’s say you are about to draw a character that is about to jump, or to run, to fly, whatever, do you stop and detail body language, facial expressions, something else?
And, yes, a “hair video” would be nice, as well. 😄
Aww, man I missed this one. This is great work, Rob!
Can you mix both the traditional and story telling with some cool perspective. Keep up the great art and thanks for the time.😊
Amo a Hulk 😍🤩👌👏✌️lo intentaré graciasaunque no creo que me quedé como usted pero seguiré sus consejos tan maravillosos!

Thanks dude.
Thank you
If you can zoom in close to each facial feature you draw it would be helpful eyes, mouth etc.
I struggle with expressions and fluid facial structure for those expressions. I really like tip for sometimes less is more and find the reference of the facial structure you want to use not necessarily the EXACT expression. knowing Body Language and Expression tell Most of the story those are paramount to learn.
this is awesome
I like the facial expression videos, it's something I continue to struggle with.
you should do some shading techniques or
I'd like some real-time sketching. Finch said its good to draw along with an artist, rather than just watching, as it stays in your mind more and helps you understand the proper process of drawing

nice ❤
Ive been watching you for so long and everytime i watch a video im glad i found your channel.😊
Cool
I don't understand how your art is this incredible and yet supposedly you're not getting any commission from marvel or DC.
Do you often seek out a cover page commission? Or are you just trying to get hired to do interior?
Cuz from the ton of stuff ive seen in Marvel , your art is far superior.
What kind of pencil do you use please?
🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩
That is one attitude I'm having trouble with. Not believing in myself. 🇺🇸 God Bless America 🇺🇸
the "needed" eraser 😂
Idk how you hold a pencil like that. Close to watching every video you’re posting on every platform and I’ve tried to copy the way you just hold a pencil(mainly thumb under the pointer) and it just doesn’t work well for me. 😂😂😂 to each their own
I know how to construct a face, but my hands just won't make it look good. I think I got a bad hands LOL.
I try the tips of artists, but my drawings still come out looking terrible.
I wish your udemy was like this, not digital.
I can hear you talking for hour's
