REDRAWING my OLD Art - 20 Years later - "I was ONLY 11 Years Old..!" 

Hey All - I just wanted to update you on where I've been, I've been EXTREMELY busy behind the scenes there will be an announcement soon regarding it all. I have been running on just a few hours sleep to get content ready, my apologies but let me assure you, I am very much still here and active! It'll all make sense soon :). Today's video wasn't planned, I had to change things up and that is why there is less editing and 'theatrics' than usual. But I hope you enjoy it non the less. I did try to create a good piece of art in the time permitted. I look forward to sharing whats happening real soon! Stay Safe friends - Anthony

The fact that you love what you do is what makes your channel so special, and is the reason I subscriped. A lot of other youtubers are good at drawing, but your joy is what makes the content pop. Keep doing you! And Rayman was and still is close to my heart to this day.

I’m not an artist, but thoroughly enjoy your videos. I admire your artistic talent on its own, but your personality is what makes your videos worth watching.

I remember playing Rayman with my brother and sister. The Art it was amazing. Thank you for bringing back old memories!

"I've never been happier than I am today..." ♥ I recently found some drawings that I did at age 11 as well, and this was my exact sentiment when I looked at them side-by-side with the professional paintings I create now, nearly 25 years later. And it IS emotional because you feel so much gratitude, not just for how far you've come, but also how much further you hope you can continue to go.

Dude! My mom thought I was good a at drawing what I saw when I was in my pre-teens, but you just showed me that I was not even close to being good. Holy smokes, dude. You were awesome even as a very young kid. True talent right there.

The coloring on this redraw is so outstanding! The claw actually looks like the metal is wet and could be dripping off the tines! Just everything is perfect 🤩 I don’t know what you did differently but this one stands out leagues above all the others! Wow 🤩 🥰😍😎👍

It would be nice to still have all my old sketch books & other drawings but that would be at least 50 sketch books alone. Growing up I drew every day so I went through a ton of paper.

I loved Rayman my older brother showed me how to play it. Lots of great memories.

I'm afraid I do not recognize this character or game because I, for one, am not as old as you (just kidding). Happy birthday!! It's really so touching to see how much you love your work, it's inspirational, and I really appreciate the comparisons between old and new. Seeing how much you've improved has really inspired me to keep trying at my own work, and you've taught me multiple wise and valuable ways to view making art. You're amazing man, happy birthday, and thank you for sharing your skills with the world!!

I love watching your videos. You are an inspiration, not only for your art but for your authenticity and honesty. Thank you.

Awesome great art Progress.😎👍🔥 Part 3 was an amazing game. Played it a lot back in the day 😄👌

I love watching other artists on RU-vid because I find that afterwards I take a lot more risks with my own drawing. This redraw is definitely inspired some creative ideas in my squirrel brain :)

The reason I love this channel so much is that your not just a RU-vidr that give no emotion during drawing, they just draw. With you it’s totally different as it’s enjoyable to watch you draw cause you can express it so much better then some youtubers. Anyways I love the drawing ray man was one of my favorite games to play with my old friends!

I played Rayman 3 I loved Rayman 3 I draw the Rayman 3 cover with the chain, colour and background I still have the picture since I was around 11 This is scary. Your colouring always looks great, hopefully after like another 20 years you can redraw the cover with the background

I'm not an artist. But I randomly watched one of your videos and I'm a fan. You would be an amazing teacher and kids show host. Cheers and God Bless you

Hey ADC! I wanted to let you know you inspired me to finally start putting my drawings on RU-vid!!! I just wanted to thank you for providing me with the confidence to do so! I’ve always loved watching your videos! Thanks again!!!

I absolutely love Rayman 3! It’s wild because at the same age you drew this drawing of rayman I also drew the same thing, and it almost looks exactly like what I drew all those years ago! It’s awesome to see the progression and growth in your art work! Keep up the good work!

Wow, love the game, love the drawing, and i will remember everything you said at the end of the video, ive been really harsh on myself recently with my artwork, not really sure if ive been enjoying it when i have been doing it, hopefully i stick to it and i would love to get to the point where you art today, you've great at what you do and the community youve built up along the way is absolutely great. I guess what im trying to say is thank you for producing the videos and letting me and other artist to come and enjoy watching your content.

Wish I’d kept all my old drawings. Keep inspiring us to progress with our art. Nice ducks.

I love your artworks I wish my linework and shading was like yours!!! I hope to become an artist one day! Keep Inspiring me :)

That really looks amazing and I think you amaze the most of the artist community

I have never liked a video so fast. Literally there are three duck introductions now and I clicked LIKE right after he introduced Sally ☺️💖🥺

You say we can click off this video and learn something but the fact is that even from watching this we learn a lot

For 11..you were pretty on point! 🙂,..but for all you know now and the supplies and details.. YES you did it.

Relating so much to your experience with art growing up! It was pencil and paper, and either acrylic or cheap kids watercolour paints. That was it. None of the fun and fancy supplies that are widely available now 😂 and the only art resources we had were Art Attack and SMart on the telly, or art lessons at school once a week. Thats it! On top of this though i had my parents telling me that tracing or "copying" was cheating 🤔😒😑 so glad these are now recognised as tools and not cheats 😂

I learned about artist markers watching Gremlins 2. Billy was an architect and I was amazed at all the colors! I wanted to take art in high school, but the counselor wouldn’t allow art and band. So I quit band and switched to our vocational school option for commercial art. Thank you for the memories. You are an AMAZING artist.

The drawing is great but I couldn't help but notice the missed colour inside the chain loops, and I can't unsee it 😅

I played Rayman when I was younger. I'm 17 now so I don't know if it was a rebooted version or something but I LOVED IT! Thanks for the childhood nostalgia.

I don't think I would want to be born in today's society, but I do wish we had the access to learning that they do now. I didn't even learn about alcohol markers until about 4 years ago. I didn't even get my first set till about 3 years ago. I would have loved to have them as a child, but they certainly weren't a thing where I was growing up. Happy Birthday, I hope you have a great birthday!

Great colouring, awesomeness. Teach us oh great one

I can't believe that people improve that fast!!!

Your art is as beautiful as you are friend!! Never stop!!

ADC: *introduces Larry and Sally* Me: how do you say that's adorable in duck

Awesome Drawing I love watching your Art video

Beautiful! Never stop illustrating ❤️

I bought this game for my son back in the day & he used to play it. I hope he watches this video to see how you art has grown. He is trying to work on his drawing too. I like the added color.

I played this game so much on my 3DS, this took me back to my childhood. Thanks for the nostalgia ADC

Thank you so much for this, Rayman 3 means a lot to me and it's amazing seeing such a stylised version of the cover art!

I’m 24 and OF COURSE i’ve played Rayman 3 back in the day. Such an awesome game, and beautiful drawing! 💜

Happy early Birthday ACD! And happy early birthday to Bob too, whenever that would be 😅 And I absolutely love it!! Especially the letters-drawing letters and drawing people are like my two biggest roadblocks in drawing, so you always inspire me with each video. Thank you!

Literally Rayman three was the first game I have ever played when I was little, I loved every moment of it.

You didn’t have to kill this that bad man!🔥🔥🔥🔥🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾

Man i don't know, your drawings get from Video to Video even more better.

Great job on this ADC! I enjoy when you remake your old drawings as well

LOVED Rayman 2 most!!! But I also liked Hoodlum Havoc...I really loved the different Hands that could be used.

Haha, I love the 20 year comparison, please Anthony watch this video again, I watched your video about struggling with mental health the other day and I think this video will really help you. Your video's help and inspire me, I also loved playing Rayman such a great game. Jim

Wow! So many wows! Rayman! It's your birthday buddy! Think about how many well wishes are being extended to YOU from across the world! For your birthday I will share with you the words one of my mentors said that changed my life in such a positive way: "Focus on the effort, not the result." If you work hard and put the hours in, the rewards come to you. With that said; YOU have put in the time and effort, YOU have shown your work, and YOU deserve all of the rewards! I know I didn't put the pencil in your hand. And trust getting older. If you're paying attention to your imagination and passions you'll realize your still a playful child. You're not getting older, your only getting wiser. Happy day to you ADC... I hope you spare no expense! Xoxoxo (And selfishly, thanks for the flood of memories of Rayman. Los of emotions! Thank you.) Oh! Did i mention the drawing was incredible? ;)

Listening to your process when you were younger just brought back my own memories of recording Dragonball Z off Cartoon Network (ON VHS!!! Back when that was still a thing . . .), finding a scene I liked, pausing it and then sitting at my coffee table drawing off what was on the TV screen. That's how I taught myself how to draw 'anime.' Lol Great work, I've subbed. Love your channel and your content, so keep it up! :)

Been waiting for new vid, adc.. Very happy to watch a new episode!! More powers! Be safe! My baby girl misses your dog 🤗🐶

Love, love it!!! Happy Birthday Anthony!!!!

This is inspiring and the rayman drawing is so good yeah😍👍😍👍🥰☺️

I played Rayman and Crash Bandicoot A LOT. Looking forward to this one buddy 👍👍👍

🎉HAPPY EARLY BIRTHDAY I WISH ONLY GREAT THINGS UPON YOU🎉

I love this and I love rayman, especially rayman 3 Great result!

Yes Rayman!! The helicopter ears trying to get over a canon was impossible. Anyone else remember??

Okay, now I'm subscribed. Been watching you since the collab with jazza and immediately liked your quirky, funny and thoughtful way of being you and doing art. But the videos where you get emotional really speak to me. Loved the whole thing and the outro, you are great!

I JUST GOT MY BOB PLUSH A FEW DAYS THANK YOU SO MUCH HE LOOKS REALLY COOL💪🏻🔥🤗😁

Happy birthday ADCartattack my favorite artist on RU-vid and my inspiration

loved rayman 3, loved rayman 2 even more, love all the later games too!

That is terrific! Never heard of Rayman 1,2 or 3, but the image really pops. Yes you can get better at drawing or using colour, but it is having encouragement and being taught tips and tricks. Never had a school teacher who knew there were different types of graphite pencils, so I learned despite them. Learnt a lot from an old man who ran a 'junk' shop, or an Aladdin's Cave to me, who showed me techniques to achieve texture, shading and so on. He also let me and a few of us read the American comics. I still have the pencil he gave me. 🙂💝

This came out great! I love “Rayman” and this drawing brought me back to the good old days of playing the games. You think you can make a video called “10 Styles: Rayman”?

You deserve a greater following . You’re so talented !

Man. I did a drawing similar to the original piece many moons ago. This was awesome. Rayman looking like he’s gonna walk out of the paper!

wow ! I really enjoyed this video ! nice metal effect

I really really love your videos! Recently found you and watching all of your videos!! Ty for uploading and sharing aĺ the tips and great work you made. You are an inspiration ✨️

I feel all of that.... And also my reason to wear a hat, lmao. Turning 31 this Sunday. And hope your birthday will be awesome as well!

Beautiful Rayman drawing, I think I played the second one but didn't understand it too well but amazing details 👌

Happy birthday🎉🎉❤🎉

As growing up, you Improve skills. The older you are, the more Skills you have learn't to Now finally see if your very Confindint in thos... Type of Skills. - I'm still learning in the Arts of Improvement. ;-;

I’ve haven’t seen Larry and sally in ages!!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥

FIRST. Love your vids man. keep up the great work. also thanks for getting me into art. i’m not too good but working on it.

That STH style Grievous is super cool!

lol using the game’s box as a reference… i did that a lot as a kid too. i loved Rayman growing up

You're art is so beautiful to look at! I love getting to the end and seeing the results. It's so amazing how it all comes together!

You're amazing 🤠💖 and Early birthday 🎉 I wish you the best 💗

I love this series so much!

Happy Birthday ADC! If it were not for you, I would not have someone as amazing, funny, witty or light hearted to show guidance in this area of expertise that you provide the world through your videos on this channel. Celebrate well. I loved the ray man games growing up seeing this redraw was awesome. My only criticism that I have for the art is very minor but I think your redraw would have jumped out more and looked more spectacular if you had added a background to drawing.. Nonetheless, it is amazing to see your evolution. You have an amazing taste in different things, you are totally open minded and relaxed about what you do, and that is always an amazing thing about your content. So always keep doing what you're doing. You deserve all the support. Also as a sidenote I would also like to see a series of videos where you take on particular drawings digitally, rather than sticking to traditional media if that makes sense. Good luck to future successes and goals of yours. Hope you achieve the things you want in the future, you are a champ and boss, as well as a teacher to many. Much appreciate your time and work. Thank you so much

Nice!! I loved to play Rayman! Happy birthday to you!

Love watching your videos happy early birthday 🥳

I am so happy for you - still enjoying and having fun=3 This is the kind of motivation and content I am looking for.I am struggling with my art - I feel like I've stopped progressing and nothing makes me satisfied with my artwoкk=(

Sometimes when you use colors though you can mess up your drawing if you do it wrong or can’t have the right shadow color because that happens to me but if you keep trying it will get a lot better.btw I loved your picture

Ok now that's cool.

Of course any gamer possibly should've played that game, I never was good at it but it was fun for the time, love it!

Epic lighting with that coloring job!

Love Rayman, yep stoped the video found game and am so gonna play latter today! Your drawing is amazing love this so gonna rewatch a few times. I struggle with my alcohols pens, pretty great on water colour though, still I try. Don’t get your results at all with them but love just playing and giving it a go. Love how the yellow pops next to the grey. Thanks for the walk down memory lane and the awesome draw/colour.

Awesome love your artwork 👍🏽

I never played the Game but the drawing looks amazing.

Awesome work bringing back classic memories.... but. I can't Not see the missed bits between the chain links of his top/Jersey.

My man motivated me again

You're my inspiration for allot of things

Great work! Happy birthday 🎂

Amazing video as usual your such an inspiration, you've helped me get back into art and also learn new techniques so thank you and keep up the great work 👍🏻

Uhhh your drawings at 11 was REALLY good. Better than anything I can do now.
