"Put some beauty back into the world, because that's what we need to do as artists." That's my favorite line from the whole video. :) And also, I loved the part with the chimp watching the drawing (I studied anthropology in college so primates are especially fascinating to me). Thanks to you both for doing this video. -A

Art school gave me fundamentals and structure, your channel "Aaron's Art Tips" gave me overnight improvements in areas I was not so good in, the episodes on "Clear Silhouette" and "Clear Character Expression" helped me to finish all future art assignments successfully, for one assignment I had to create an original character illustration, I decided to design a character with somewhat of a complex face, but with the tools I learned from your channel, it was externally easy to apply the simple "SMILEY FACE" expression and then add on all the details. Thank you Aaron for sharing your passions and skills with the me and the world. Bringing other skilled artists with their perspectives to your channel and website is greatly appreciated!

It's interesting watching two of my favorite artists together, and how they learn from each other styles. Definitely an educational experience. I'm taking notes from this video. Thank you so much Aaron Blaise. Very inspirational video...

[adaikonen]

I love the last comment on the female ape who came to look at your drawing about how she also likes to draw. That was so cute

[carolepivarnik]

Loved watching this; drawing at zoos, farms or livestock/dog shows is really fun. The interaction you had with that one chimp...wow. What an amazing experience to treasure. It was fun to see the different approaches and styles of your work vs Proko’s. Thank you both for sharing so much.

James Gurney, Aron Blaise, and Proko are maybe one of this century's most celebrated inspiring artists-teacher and we are so lucky that we are able to follow them on youtube and learn from the best. I will always just be an amateur artist because I started very late in my life to draw and paint. when I was 10 years old I sold out on big cat oil paintings but life happened and I took a very break and began first to paint and draw again when I was late in my forties. Now I enjoy painting anything and everything, from cityscapes to landscapes, portraits, and wildlife and I also love storytelling and creating my own cartoons. Thank you for being my guide and my inspiration and thank you for being you, you got an awesome personality.

Hi Aaron!
This is just amazing!
Recently one of my nephews asked me to teach him how to draw, and I started with some tips and tricks; but this is an excellent idea from where we can take good material to work with.
Thanks so much sir! And congrats for meeting with Proko, it seems you both had a great time such as made a great team there at the zoo.
Blessings!! :)

This is super helpful! I love going to the zoo for inspiration for drawings and I've never been more eager to go again than after this video.

[farleymelo]

two of three best artists that youn can find out on youtube Mr Aaron Blaise, Proko and Jazza

[muhlenstedt]

Wenn a great and experienced artist like you says that he keeps learning ... that gives me an example!

[DGz]

i like how the one that draws got to witness a master human drawing.

[abigaildeeks]

I used to teach art lessons and took a group of kids to the zoo every day for a week. I used similar approach. I’d encourage them to get a quick gesture drawing of the animal first. Then observe the details and add them in. I found that teaching art gave me lessons in art as well. All great teachers learn from their students.

[eliannevdlinden]

I love this video so much! I watched the one on Proko’s channel too. I used to draw a lot of animals when I was younger, but now I mostly draw people. This helped me remember how fun it was and it got me drawing them again, I still have difficulty with the anatomy of animals and expecially proportions... So it was helpfull how you approached drawing them
