Ethan: I'm just gonna do a confident line
Also Ethan: *spams ctrl+z*

[chrisv]

So basically Instead of tracing every line just trace the general shape and basic details and fill in the rest yourself.

[lanacology]

Ethan: I gonna draw a confident line
Also Ethan: *draws the same line 16 times*

"I'm essentialy creating the Bible" - what a bold statement

Just came from your "anatomy" video. You're quickly becoming my favourite art youtuber. Keep it up man.

And they say endgame is the most ambitious crossover event in history...

I realize the fish analogy works here too. Trace an artwork, get one piece of art. Learn from an artwork, understand how to draw more.



Youre a fucking hero this soft art community needs to improve. Im glad to see little to no hate towards you. You have a great and experienced understanding of how to make good art. And you want people to improve. You want them to be great. You care. Its wonderfull. We need more people like you.



By constant praise and gentleness people dont see their parts to improve on and get crabby when criticised. Theyre living in a bubble, having a limit to improvement. Glad youre popping that.

around 7 mins in, seeing you do what you called folds was giving me flashbacks to 3D modelling and wireframes around a model. So when you connected the lines on the hair and then erased one of them, I instinctively counted the vertices like the breadloaf I am

[kiwiiii]

I swear this guy is like Bob Ross' and Rick Sanchez' love child or something

_I have never seen this man in my life_

[DreamsForgetting]

my notes :
00:00 - intro (for big babies)
01:26 - think about the tracing (no details!!)
for more, go to the video "(ACTUAL) ANATOMY MISTAKES YOUNG ARTISTS MAKE [PART1]" (01 jan 2020)
02:53 - learn from the process
03:44 - confident lines!!
05:21 - look at this please
07:29 - sometimes you have to change the reality
08:33 - manipulate your drawing for clarity (check "Pose out your drawings!" (dec 22 2018) video for more)

[kevincrawley]

I love it how he never ends a video clearly, he just fades in and out and eventually gives up (sorta like me in life)
