Since I start my journey, studying, and coming across videos like yours where the creators are drawing, I try to pick up little things as you guys are drawing so that it can help me better understand when I'm using my tablet. I noticed early on the video that you used the line tool and just when I thought it was a glitch, I replayed it a few times and noticed that you were landmarking certain parts to help you more accurately and my mind was blown at something so simple yet so helpful. I'll definitely keep this in mind when I'm studying, thank you~
Edit: Let me also add that this video was very helpful on training my eyes on what to look for as I study🥰💕

I like how you broke down Dana’s style with those color lines I learn a lot more with color so it made it a lot clearer. I’ve also been trying to crack my favorite artist styles but you writing notes also opened my eyes as to how to get that done

I was looking around YT because I've wanted to get into studying other artists and I didn't really know where to begin. This video is a really great first stepping stone. Thanks a bunch!

Ik I’m a little late but I’ve been wanting to lean and create my own art style, I’ve been into art for many years now just I always get upset or mad with myself when I’m unable to draw what I want, this video helps a lot, I’ll be able to cut down pieces and be able to understand more. Thank you

this video saved me skgk working on an animated show that requires me to replicate the art style perfectly and i had no idea how to make it work, this helped tons 💖

[juxtaposition]

I'm pretty bad at breaking down a style. For example, for Dana's style, I didn't understand what you were referring to or how you figured most of that stuff out when you were writing notes.
Any advice?

WOW, Thank goodness I came across this. How you explain what you learn from Dana's art style made me wonder if I learned enough during my time in school D;

[sauerwald]

Awesome. Such an insightful video on how to break down different art styles!

[ReblazeGaming]

I know this video is old but how do I go about learning all the things you're saying? I want to do studies o art I like but don't know about shape language and all the terminology you use.

Really awesome video but I was wondering how you draw the characters soo much like the refrence image. I wish I could do that

[Soulfire]

My friend's an awesome artist I look up to a lot! He inspired me to start drawing myself and he helps me improve each day. I may ask him for some drawings to use this technique with! 😇
