Learning to Draw The Zora (From Zelda: Breath of the Wild) 

That's the plan! It's a bit scary... even my videos from a year ago are still there and people are watching them. It inspires me to put more effort in :) Thanks again!!

It’s the art book from Zelda breath of the wild, it’s called like creating a hero I believe

He shows the cover and says the full name at the beginning of the video.

@@tiamatandall I'm Korean, so I'm not fluent in English, so I asked a question.

Hey Nicole! Yeah that’s a great question. I remember someone else asked a similar one a while back that I never got around to answering. I was considering making a video on the subject. Bottom line is that I don’t have a solid go to plan. My rule is to cheat and try to get away with as much as possible ;) with a comic I try to think about which scenes will need detailed planning or frequent redrawing. I will do anything from: build a full (but rough) 3d model (I used to use sketch up, now I use blender) to sketch a floor plan, to make it up as I go along. So much of what I would consider success involves good judgment. This in turn comes from experience. I would suggest planning more in the beginning to make sure you have the reference if you need it. But! Try to give yourself a time limit for building the plans. You would be surprised how much just a simple floor plan will allow you to avoid putting windows in the wrong place. Or how much time a simple 3d model might save in blocking out the scene. Often the plan will save time anyway. The trick is to know what the viewer will care about and to make sure you keep some flexibility when creating the final art. It’s important to make sure you prioritise good foreground middleground background shapes (for instance) vs being a slave to the reference you have created. Also keep in mind that creating good establishing shots and then keeping subsequent panels vague as to specific location in the scene will work well. I often try to block in the story so it’s easier to draw like this. (If I have control of the story and storytelling). Anyway not sure if that even starts to answer the question. Probably better to explain with examples in a video

@@TheDrawingCodex thank you for this. I would really appreciate a video about it, too

It’s a Rode HS2 (the kind of mic you would use while presenting on stage). Is good for this purpose because it keeps the sound and volume consistent across different shots without needing to reposition a mic. Abe much better for keeping the sound consistent while Drawing… as your head tends to point in different directions while working. Also doesn’t pick up a lot of background noise. So yeah I mostly use it here because it’s simple and easy. :)

@@TheDrawingCodex Thank you for the response. I have a huge backlog of your how to draw videos that I need to get through. The how to draw Street Fighter characters look so interesting. You've done good work and I love the longer videos. A lot more discussion and knowledge can be gained through 30 min to 1 hour videos rather than quick bite 10 to 15 min videos which leave a lot of info out
