First speedpaint of 2021! Feels good to be making videos again \(^^)/

**Secretly wishes for a concept corner with these characters cause they look really cute**

[venamotylek]

I'm a simple person, I see abd and imeadetly click.

[respectfulevil]

Hes going up in the world, new aesthetic, sponsorships, the works

But honestly, I'm so grateful for the stuff you do alex

[elstreeillustrated]

HES BACK, the man, the myth, the legend

[lightningqueen]

Whoa, look at that *poofy jacket* I love it-

[leeschelly]

Me: **wanting to draw comics but not exactly knowing how I want to start**
Abd illustrates: Bonjour!
Your art, like always, is amazing and a great inspiration for people! Thank you for getting me to want to try digital drawing! Keep being amazing Alex!

[zvezdavan]

AM I THE ONLY ONE WHO LIKES THE OLD MANGA HES CALLING EMBARRASSING? It looks good!

[whatevenarenames]

When the “bad” 2013 drawing is still better then how you draw

[delphynenull]

Oh I’m practically vibrating at the potential of a full web manga of Heartless.

[victorthecollector]

Damn, your old self was really bold tho, imagine being a beginner comic artist and trying out a pose with foreshortening and forced perspective on your biggest panel, legend.

I do love the new one tho, it’s definitely way more readable and the highlights are where they should be

[lirainisgarcia]

The curse of being early and not knowing what to say...






I love you

[rubyseverinwhitworth]

has anyone just reached a point where they barely actully look at the art and just listen to Alex in the background to help themselves relax and have something chill to listen to while doing other work

[MechanizedAngelz]

YouTube: 1 views.
Me: It's me, I'm the views-

[Michael-ujjp]

Clip studio paint do be like, "You get a sponsor and you get a sponsor!!!"

[LavenderAlchemyart]

Hey sorry if anyone else has said this but. I'm a graphic designer and I thought I would give some helpful tips to everyone. For type you should never go below 8 point font. Though it might be tempting, anything smaller gets really hard to read in both digital and hard copy. Also if your going to use different fonts for different things. Try to stick to 2 to 3 max type faces. The more fonts you use in a comic the more complicated it'll be to keep track of A. B it'll start looking messy and clumsy if you're not careful. There's nothing wrong with experimenting with type but keep it clean and easy to read. Though type doesn't always need to be readable for a comic its impotent. Hope this helps.

SO HE WAS 15 WHEN HE DREW THAT ORIGINAL MANGA PAGE#?
he was really such a godtier artist at a young age, so cool !! 😭😭

[annalisasteinnes]

I love how much more dramatic the moment of the rope snapping is in the redraw. It's that one second when you realize something bad has happened but you haven't had time to react to it yet. Just perfect :)

[alexcollins]

love that he has an autumn aesthetic no matter the time of year

[lolli_popples]

This is like the most genuine sponsored video I've ever seen.
Also the most helpful.
