These are probably good tips but it’s very sad to hear people explain such obvious things

​@@dianap1893 well, it's not always obvious. I can draw hands really well, and it seems obvious to me how it's done, but... Is it? The sheer number of people who struggle with drawing hands, including my younger self, easily prove otherwise. It's only obvious once you've learned it, whether you taught yourself, or someone else did.

Not necessarily. It's just converting your basic knowledge into drawing. We should all know how shadows work and everyone knows that the eyeball is round and etc. You could've figured this all out by just thinking logically. But yeah, the video is probably still helpful for a lot of people

@@rumtreiberin3050 well, you could say the same for hands. They're a little bit more complicated, but can still be broken down anatomically. It's just a matter of getting them to look good when you draw them. I get what you're saying, but I would still argue it's not quite obvious, at least not to everyone. Young kids start out just drawing what they see, they don't really think about it all that much. A lot of beginner artists have the same problem. This video helps them to think about it a bit more, and gives them a demonstration. :]

*a line for the eyeball shading*

Airbrush is shaking from your abandonment

Literally me right now, I keep getting tips for realistic art lmao

​​@@sirthisisawendys811 lol me too My art style is like a mix of cartoons and animal crossing 💀

yes

This is the way

True

Meh not really. I don’t see why people say this stupid nonsense lol. I doubt people who make anime or some shit study anatomy for 20 years

@@vismattress5760 they didnt learned anatomy by itself they learn by observing and adding it into their arts they make for fun. Slowly their muscles will memorize it.

@@vismattress5760the amount of anatomy you need to understand for animation is a hefty amount, stylized or not, dont proclaim stuff u dont have any understanding of...

wish it was this easy lmao

Same and l draw in anime like style lol

My pfp is a prime example lmao

@@JD.ThatGuy would be funny if they just had ultra realistic eyes

​@@isntduality Oh no the crack eye meme

​@@philhnn621 the what

I have characters that are literally just (cartoony) eyes for heads lol

i immediately thought Sqidward's house

Was about to comment this

🗿

​@@anonymouspigeon1 sammeee I was going to comment that 😂 like "bro just drew Squidward's house"

💀

Why would you want to draw something bad when you can draw something heavenly

fr

Yes i feel so many tutorials are either way too specific to the point they overwhelm and confuse me or way too vague and i learn nothing. Love this channel it is a perfect in between. Tells you what you need to know and how to accomplish it but in a simple way.

Are you an artist

You didn’t know eyes are round?

@@AZURNERUB Did i say that? i don't remember, well i learned how to draw eyes before this video even existed what i mean by this comment is that the reason i love shorter videos is that it is ''short'' all the gathered information are summarized and it is easier for beginners to digest

Same 💀

Same💀

Shame ☠️

Shameful 💀

I think it's biology and geometry 🤡

Rules are broken, however, the rules of light and shadow aren't. The art just looks weird or not right, even the most Picasso of art has shadow and light shapes correctly rendered however in a different style.

@@DigitalViscosity yes light mostly works the same way but it can still be styleist. And sometimes the rules can even be broken, tho it's very hard to not make that look wrong. But it can still happen.

You need to learn the rules to break them

Dolphin shaped eye - best

no eyes- ultra pro max best

@@Jessica45230 is that a hollow knight reference?

@@hi99e63 nah

@@hi99e63 no, but my pfp is

Realism is the basis of stylization. Knowing the one leads to way better results at the later

There is no stylization without technique. You should have some themes of realism for a half-decent style.

@@dianthuslykaios1434 art is art and if youre drawing just for fun then you should draw however you want

@@waheey If you're going to draw as a casual hobby, then my comment does not apply. If you're an artist looking to seriously improve your skills or develop a style, you _need_ to understand the anatomy and/or physics behind what you're drawing, no two ways about it.

​​​@@waheey Yes, but understanding how an eye is structured and incorporating that knowledge into the approach to your style can be the difference between your art looking like a child drew it and looking like a professional drew it. Literally anyone can "draw an eye however they want". But there's always going to be something separating the amateurs from the greats, and this is one of those things that can. Mentalities like what you expressed, that people don't need to consider any outside advice and should just "do whatever they want", is exactly what can hold someone back and keep them in an amateur hole far longer than necessary.

Drew a couple things immediately with these tips, and holy shit, did it help.

I never knew there's a word for that - neat! (Also not neat that you have it haha)

Damn ur profile Pic fits u that's crazy tho. Good for u ig😂👍🌝

He's making a GENERALIZATION.. Thts wat ALL Art Teachers DO... In GENERAL when Ur drawing from Ur Imagination for Realism Purposes.. U want Symmetry... But..if Ur drawing Portraits from Subjects.. Of course.. U will draw whatever is in front of U.... Hope this helps... ✌️❤️😎🖊💯👍👍

Either way it was tremendously helpful for me as an artist to be able to open a book and stare at the picture for as long as I needed before starting. No rewinding, or waiting for it to loop again. No fighting with my screen to make sure my laptop or phone doesn’t go to sleep in the middle of me drawing etc. I highly recommend

Musta been a real pain drawing three models for one model.

I'm glad it helps! Just curious, do you watch out videos more as longform videos or Shorts?

@@ProkoTV I watched more of the long videos maybe over a year ago now. (Whistling the theme song) Honestly this short is the first I've seen on my feed from you, but it was a good refresher. No doubt that I'll be watching more of these shorts. Thanks again!!

Lucky. Mine would say you're drawing this today and walk out the room.

You lost as soon as you wrote "anime" like that

@@Nordisk11 I wasn't spelling it like that thinking it's how it's spelled.. If you look later in the comment, you can see I spell it normally. But if it really offends you that much I'll change it 🤷‍♀️

I mean, I kinda half agree. Cartoony IS a style. Everything’s a style even mop painting (😭), even if you don’t like it it is. But if you’re trying to succeed in art I grew you need to study art, you can’t just draw a stick figure and make millions.

The vast majority of talented Japanese mangaka that these kids idolize studied realism and form extensively.

I hate to break it to you, but cartoon with little to no detail is still an art style.

Finally, I have autonomy because I can draw an eye. I can finally leave my cage

Autonomy? Or did you mean anatomy?

​@@tihana13My bad

I feel you, man.

bro gave a full ted talk when it's easy as saying "hey remember to put shadows in your eyes like this" I'm pretty sure that anyone who has an understanding of realist drawing will already know everything said here and more amateur people will not understand shit! this is too complicated for a newbie! 💀

​@Marine_Blue The only reason an amateur wouldn't understand is if they deliberately didn't listen or don't understand English. "Just shade it like this" is as helpful as a coloring book for newbies, tracing only gets you so far. You need to understand the anatomy in order to draw it well

obviously doesnt apply to you then. these anatomy tips are useful to everyone and trickle down into every style.

It’s just anatomically correct and if it doesn’t apply to your style that’s fine, however some people actually want to learn how to draw the eye anatomically correct.

Actually, regardless of your style it can still be applied.

​@@madeleinelazenkas5071every? Wrong. Cartoons usually use ovals that are flat dur to them being more stylized like their art style

Glad they help!

Every artist should know the basics. Anime is actually such a complex style of art and its really hard for beginners to do well, especially when they don't know the basics. If you pay really close attention to Manga or anime shows, the eyes all follow this basic structure. Ignoring the basics can really make your art suffer.

this actually applies to anime a lot more than others

If you don't know how to draw the actual thing you won't be able to effectively distort it to cartoon. Learn the basics.

He adresses that a lot in his longer videos. Drawing the way he does it allows you to draw with your shoulder instead of wrist. Simplified, it gives you more freedom of movement and amplitude. But it's harder to do at first because you never trained to do it. From what I get/read, you don't need to learn that to be good, but if you learn that technique you might get better/further.

Hey, there! Like Ari mentioned, I have a video on this. There's a different grip for every job. I hope this helps: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/prNzY6apmLvPaGg.html

No. A lot of people try and say that you “should” hold it a certain way but that makes no sense. A lot of artists hold their pencils in ridiculous ways and are still considered some of the best artists out there. Just hold it how you hold it, it really doesn’t make a difference. It’s like how people say the colour of pan you use to bake makes a significant difference, it really doesn’t. The recipe does.

@@krustygureum I actually have been having issues getting the control that I need with my strokes. The video that he linked above is actually really helpful. I agree that there is no correct way to do things in art, but I'm always open to advice from people that are more experienced than I am.
