great video! I love how you didn't bash tracing right away and explained how you do it successfully. sometimes its great for perspective or anatomy, or things that are hard to draw, and if you do it enough you can do it by memory and use those correct proportions in your mind to create different poses

1. Storytelling
2. Start rough
3. Cheat with assets
4. Steal from multiple sources
5. Composition

DUDE !!! This video slaps!!
I really appreciate what you said about rough sketch THEN reference! That was a big take away for me. I’m excited to implement these tips right away. Thank you again 🤩✨

[cadencornobi]

Honestly the greatest help for me has been, after seeing this kind of art, making sure to tell myself that this is done by professional artists with much more experience than me. This helps me to be satisfied with my far worse art because I know that all of the things I'm doing, the good and the bad, are helping me become a better artist. All it will take is practice and time!

[graphojulia]

omg. first the rough sketch then reference 🤯 that makes so much sense 😂 i love how you just talk about everything. I think a lot of people just assume that people know and leave out so much context. just spelling it out again helps a lot! Thank you for amazing content. And im burning to try and implement these on my next illustration!

[momo-xhbm]

I just wanted say great advice you got around here. Since I am a freehanded illustrator using traditional mediums, it will be an honor to make a video dedicated to those people who illustrate using traditional mediums. But since I am also looking for editorial jobs I am also looking into tips to make the portfolio better or getting started to making illustration portfolios.

That reference second...idea first tip is a real gold... Felt it so many times...good tips man👍🏼

[jccwell]

Hey, man. I'd love to see a video about painting a night environment. I had an indoor night-time commission recently, and there weren't many good videos at all

[maseehalhassan]

Great Illustration and very useful tips... thanks

[ReillyMossArt]

Just stumbled upon this video, and I can't wait to start applying these tips to my own illustrations! Thank you for the helpful advice.

[oscarchavezart]

I agree with getting the idea down first and then getting references second. I had an art teacher who would force the class with references first and idea second, it was a bad way to teach.

[TheGruzerman]

Great video. You keep making excellent videos. I love the fact that for each video you show the process with a new art piece that is relented to the video's title

[natdomo]

Oooh great tips! Also the artist’ art on the first tip reminds me of life is strange’s art!
