Came for drawing tips. Got deep life advice.

[nicolemtracy]

"What's the story behind the picture" is going to end up being my mantra for the rest of my artwork. Thank you so much for putting it in front of my face with neon arrows so I didn't miss it. So simple that I overlooked it and yet completely profound that I wonder how I missed it in the first place.
Also, may I just say that that old lady is everything I do in life. I feel like I got my shit together, but everyone on the outside is just like, "What is she doing?". Yeah, that sums it up nicely.

[prestonowens]

Every time I watch a Will Terrell video I anticipate a few things.
1: I will learn good art advice.
2: I will learn general life advice.
3: I will feel kinda emotional from hearing him get all deep and stuff.

My emotions, my emotions! Thanks Will!

WHEN YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DRAW, DRAW A BLOB

- Will Terrell 2016

[peturgeirmagnusson]

Will, I just love how friendly you are and how openly you talk about your drawings. You have a wonderful talent that you know how to express, fill it with love and share it. You are amazing and I love your channel! Keep on doing the thing you do!

[andirecruits]

Wow. Judging by the title I was expecting some type of clickbait but instead I ended up getting the best art advice I've gotten in awhile and life advice too! Not to mention an adorable drawing that put a smile on my face. Thankyou. Keep up the amazing videos!

[scarey]

Initially I came to see the little old lady and hear your tip, but I was intrigued by "the story" I stayed the entire 19 minutes, great job Will I thank you grandly for opening our minds to this technique.

I learn so much from these videos.

Will, you may not read this comment ever but if you do, i would like for you to keep in my, you have made drastic change in my life, most of it not in my artowork at all, the way i think about certain things, some things about my daily life the perpestive of things the way i think about something, i only noticed this recently, my perpectives like "god, i ve nailed it ..how did..? oh yea that video!" and in some ways my social life as well.
You're a good guy, the advice you give is from an open heart, you're open, you're authentic, what you say is not something to think about and force, you tell us life lessons from YOUR experience and share it, share what you've learnt which makes it real, true, ..legit,thank you for that...so much!
My art still needs some improvement, but it's that way for everyone right? i'm trying, and as far as i know, i got the motivation it needs to get better, time and ... well mixing up a bunch of youtubers' videos
Again thank you, so much

Damn amazing quote.

[ofangels]

You know what? I fucking love you man! This videos make me close YouTube and start drawing more! It's just so inspiring. Thanks a lot for this. Keep it up.

[evhwolfgang]

it may be a small thing, but this video improved my artistic ideas and my outlook on art in general, and I'm sure I'm not the only one. So according to your own words, you've met your goal.  Thanks man.

[EllePlowPlow]

these episodes are so different from what you see on other drawing/painting/sketching channels but are SO helpful!! Thank you!!!!

[ownpurrange]

Will, for some reason your subscribers community is the best I've seen ever on youtube. What you do is good keep going man!

[nancygauthier]

I really like your sense of humor, your laugh, make me laugh... I feel that you enjoy life and don't take it too seriously, it's a fresh air. And the music is very good too... Oh, by the way, you are so a very talent artist, thanks for sharing us your precious tips and "joie de vivre" 😊.

[Minoru]

I hope you read this, Will. 

I came to this video to find what other wisdom you have to offer to me in order to become a better artist and take it as serious as possible and while you did that you also provided a life lesson. I get kinda depressed sometimes and overwhelmed by other people's work and stressed out that whatever is in my head won't come out onto the paper the way I'd like it to sometimes. But as you said, everyone has value. Everyone is good at something and personally I think drawing stuff is all that I have going for me. I've been doing it ever since elementary school and I'm 22 now and I've thought that my time has run out to become good. It's not true. I'm getting old but I'm not decrepit yet lol. So I suppose what I'm trying to say is that I can't give up because it's not over and I can still have a shot with this. Thanks, Will. We need more lighthearted people like you, man. I appreciate this.

I'm going to be drawing caricatures for other people for the first time this weekend and I've been re-watching a lot of your videos, and this one in particular really helped. I'm much more confident in how to approach doing it. Thank you so much and I love all your art!

[EndlessResentment]

Thank you, sir.
I applied your tip, and it works great, I sold my first drawing ever thanks to you and I am ever so grateful for this, none of my art teachers ever told me this. Faith in my art restored, THANK YOU!

[karenrichardson]

I just love that GREEN shirt! I have posted to my art journal group to watch your videos. I think they will inspire these budding artists. Thank you for doing these.

[jackiee]

Came across this so many years ago. I had it saved somewhere in my YouTube playlists and it was a joy to rewatch this again. I became interested in the arts when I was trying to figure out my post-secondary schooling and I'm studying graphic design now. You're totally right. Telling stories is something i've tried to remember and it makes everything so much more interesting and enjoyable. Thanks Will!
