    I am very grateful for the sketchbook series . I have given up several times, went back to my vices, stopped drawing for months which became years. Yet this channel has endured; and prospered even. This really brings back that magical time when I saw Steve Huston's watercolor/gouache sketchbook and was absolutely mesmerized by how alluring it was. Thank you for going out of your way to meet with industry legends so that we can catch a glimpse of skill that can never be obtained by cheap gimmicks or money.

    I'd love seeing more about the loose gesture, characterization and experimental processes like this. I use the channel mostly as reference for anatomy and structure but then it's easy to forget about getting the energies you want or communicating things in an engaging way and not just trying to translate things directly like a robot before you let yourself do anything else

    Notes to self based on Bryce Kho (btw his art course is phenomenal I highly recommend if you wish to do work like his or *like* him)
    1.) watercolor and bimoji kuretake brush pen 3-5 min figures to figure stuff out and free yourself to explore and experiment
    2.) since he comes from a fast paced environment, white space and quicker mediums are his comfort- so looking for the most prominent and eye catching details while abstaining from the auxiliary stuff is helpful
    So medium, open space and reduction for implied light and form
    3.) bryce does love his volumes, and breaking down forms into simple understandable shapes
    3.5.) Simple, quick, and get the essence of the character-story
    4.) your drawings aren’t precious, let your sketchbook be a place to try.
    Drawing is a battle and your reps is your attrition to understand your enemy.
    5.) Study a model first, trace out that feeling of impressions first, then draw it out.

  • @theartsyzoologist
    @theartsyzoologist Місяць тому +7

    So glad to see more watercolour content!! His gestural watercolour work is particularly beautiful. As an art teacher it’s always cool to see how other artists bend mediums to subtly create their own artistic power in a sense. I could sense Kim Jung Gi had to be an artist reference for him in some way and sure enough there it is at the end! So good.
    It was also interesting to see and hear him be open and honest about weaknesses, I still struggle with male characters/figures yet he just works the brush and paper so fluidly. My strong point is animal anatomy particularly big cats and female form which the majority of my students favour, but I’ve been wanting to introduce more male forms/characters. I look forward to seeing /learning more from Bryce.

      Bruce is very open as an instructor and we appreciate him for it.
      In our lessons with him in our digital painting course, he shared tips, how he breaks things down and what areas he skims over in a piece and how he makes that work.
      Many pro artists, in times last, taught what was academically proper but not what they actually do. We appreciate him for it!

    I love his style! So much density in his full illustrations and his use of colors is very fun. Might have to get myself a water brush pen and some paint like he showed at 2:40, because I love water color but I'm not much of a paintbrush kinda guy.

    4:11 they look REALLY GOOD!! with such ugly colors too. My eyes immediately went there because it looks so cool.
    The way you correct drawings with a solid background is actually so cool. I wonder if it'll have the same effect with digital drawings.
    8:47 YES that's gorgeous. Love your use of negative space!! Super cool! And then the black of the panther is just 😙👌🏽
    Leaving the first two pages empty is actually so smart. Nothing discourages me more than having the first page SUCK but if it's the 3rd page. That might not be so bad lol.

    I've been really liking these sketchbook videos, I actually have a couple of unused sketchbooks so it gives me an idea of how I should treat them. Purposely messing up the first page is a good way to get out of the perfectionist mindset with sketchbooks btw. Recently got a pretty nicely sized set of cheap acrylic paint pens, I feel like I could do studies similar to these ones with them.

      While Bryce mostly mentions life drawing in a studio or in the wild, many artists find great reference that they either collect themselves or that's already collected in sets on Pinterest.

      Generally depends on the context. But even so, it's very hit and miss which things get ID'd as being no good even within the context of art.
      As a general rule, assume you can't and only post what would be safe for work. We assume a little leeway by being educational and not being photos/videos of people when there's actual nudity. Mostly rendered work.
