One thing I absolutely love about these kinds of videos is that even if I'm not at the level to execute this, it really really increases my ability to study other people's drawings and appreciate them even more deeply. 🙌🏽

[devyadav]

Finally a worthy lesson. My learning would be legendary!

@1:38 "If you draw a circle just like this."

Me: "Thank God. There's hope for me still."

Idk how Proko manages to top themselves every single year, 12 days of proko and lightbox always blows me away but this year is on a whol other level!

[PhillipP]

I'm left handed, so this video is a godsend.

This is the first time I've heard anyone explain 'why.' I literally had this question back in college and my professor told me to just study what others do, nothing about the technique. Thank you, thank you, thank you, Mr Finch sir

[marcograf]

His quick and dirty examples are better than my best drawings

I’ve been drawing in a western comic book style, mainly focusing on poster and cover art, for over 20+ years. I have never felt strong in my inking skills because I just couldn’t get a ‘professional’ look with my finished inked drawings. These videos have taught me so much in an amazingly short amount of time. Thank you so much for doing this series David, I have been a fan of your artwork for as long as I can remember. Much ❤️

Dave Finch’s technique is awesome. I love his style. Thanks for having him on your channel.

The single greatest description of not only how, but why, on crosshatching. Bravo! Very well done!

[greyareaRK]

Excellent. I've never studied comic art, but I noticed that the crosshatching seemed codified, and this explained it very well.

[chrisc]

Great to see a master at work. Truly impressive and shows just how much skill and work goes into something the reader takes for granted

[szymonsowinski]

now we know where does ZHC's style come from

[screw_tape]

i’m glad you all have been branching out from the academic stuff and touching on the more casual or graphic stuff.

[markbennett]

Aaah man, three decades I’ve been rendering and ink drawing, almost but never clearing the hurdle, too many times I overworked, lost consistency of form direction, and this genius nails it it one, WOW thank you so much for the knowledge ....simply and perfectly put.🙏🏻

[jbkhan]

I've watched this video several times and it never ceases to amaze me, how effortless David is with his drawing. His skill level is really insane. Thanks to Proko and David for sharing this!

[eriangelino]

It is amazing how you can breakdown the complex parts into simpler components of art. Thanks for your great lesson.

[LgirardDev]

David is the man, everysingle advice is gold OMG.

[undeadbandit]

I come back to this video so many times, all those artist here are just incredible, I'm in awe every time I come to this channel

Finch's probably the most detail oriented comics artist on the planet and in the best way possible. Love his work!
