Lol

I gotta learn how to do that!

Nice! There’s always something to learn

It's absolutely something I can relate to! You're welcome, and thank you for sharing!

Lucky Bebop Stop listening to that teacher :/ From where I come from, the ed system is the same, one teacher for the entire extracurricular subject, and they were usually not as passionate abour the subject. You should try getting advice/learning from someone else outside the educational system. It usually helps :3

4:40 like, yea i could have done that, but it looks so much better when my characters have actual chins.

Yeah- as a rule I just don't accept criticism that comes unsolicited or from random RU-vid commenters. Often times, their advice is simply a personal opinion or an un-constructive attempt to tear me or my work down. Plus, it's often work that I've long moved on from, and I'm worried about the next thing. When it is solicited, or offered from a source that one trusts, being open to considering it is different than blindly accepting everything. What's most important is that you're humble in order to enable personal growth, and not simply trying to please every person with an opinion. It's a tricky situation in companies, where some people's role is only to give an opinion, so they feel a need to add one even when unnecessary. It's a talk you have to have and a balance to strike, for sure. It's hard to work for someone that doesn't trust you.

Yep! Style is often intentional mistakes. People try to pass unintentional or unexperienced mistakes as intentional, and that really just doesnt work!

All good man, streams have been sparse while I catch up recently.

Thank you, I'm glad it was helpful!

and the last one ^^

The information is pretty good, but his skill isn't professional. He might be marketing himself well, making him a good salesman, but he's not a very good draftsman. I can understand why someone might ignore what he's saying when his fundamentals are kind of screwy. I don't mean to offend, I even agree with his teaching, but it's like with Jazza. The position of "fake authority", professional looking production value of the videos and theoretical knowledge of the art + philosophical principles makes a lot of people look to them for advice or direction. Even if their basic art skills are lacking, it's not like they can't teach (his basic shapes are not even in the right perspective on these otherwise simple forms). Teachers never need to be the most skilled in their subject, but they need the theoretical knowledge of the subject and the objectivity to see mistakes in others work. I'm not going to dislike this video, that's absurd. Maybe the 16 year old prodigy that was miles ahead watched this and wondered how someone like him could dare even speak about "how to learn" when he's so far behind. And that's just it, that person didn't understand why it's a silly invalid argument. This comment is not to offend anyone, they're clearly successful in what they're doing but they're not immune to criticism and when you put yourself out there you will meet people who don't agree. Not sure what you get out of the comment, seem like a self-reassuring thing. It's all good, but there you go.

BayLaugh Animations oh man.....

you almost have it

Thanks, my confidence was just a little too even keel today 😂

Yeah, that response seems a bit defensive for sure. I do personally feel like critiques are best from qualified sources, and shouldn't come unsolicited. For example, I could open a random piece of art of mine up to critique from RU-vid comments, and get a hundred notes on what to change. But how can I tell which are legitimate or not, especially if I wasn't experienced myself? It takes some judgement to figure out who to listen to, but also humility to really listen when they respond.

There's a difference between style and simply having flawed fundamentals. You have to learn the rules before you can break them properly. Sometimes as simple as truly understanding shapes in three dimensional space is vastly underrated and misunderstood by new artists. I can only advice you to ignore unnecessarily harsh criticism when you're still trying things out and then try and focus on the fundamentals in art. Anatomy, basic perspective and shape(this is huge), silhouettes and composition. I think a lot of people get caught in the social media trap too, so if you're posting your art online and getting critiques already it might be a good idea to focus more on learning the basics instead of worrying about how the next piece will be received on instagram (what do I know). With that said, discouraging yourself from drawing because others can't see what you're trying to do is a pretty common pitfall. If you want to make a career out of art, you gotta make drawing into a daily routine. The more time you can spend learning the faster you'll be good enough to take jobs left and right. If animation is the field you want to get into, all the fundamentals will come in super handy because it'll likely be what you're going to spend your time learning if you find a school that teaches animation. I know some a couple of friends who got into an animation school in Denmark (scholarships and all) and I've been to their campus a couple of times, and the school focuses a lot of teaching new students the fundamentals first. What I'm trying to convey is that fundamentals are *so* important no matter what "style" you want to use in the end.

I've got an oldie but a goodie for you, my friend! Endure the shakey cam, grok some knowledge! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-fvpSB4CVzhg.html

Are you talking about using reference? All artists use reference. New, old, good, inexperienced, use reference. It's not some kind of cheat. It's smart. Also, like I said in the video, try not to focus on the master side of things. Master means hardened brain, unable and unwilling to learn more.

Here's the thing about stupid people, BologneyT: They're idiots 😉

A great way to get started with anatomy is drawing simple volumetric shapes over photos of nude models. Get comfortable drawing cylinders, spheres, and prisms within the contours of photos, then move on to using the same shapes on a separate page to construct from observation. Don't go for detail immediately, get the general ideas right first.

+Carrie Kalumbula Unfortunately there isn’t a great way to do that, however if you’re following on Twitch you can get notifications easily!

Yep that was the request, Chill Penguin as a villager!
