Hidden meaning: In the beginning he says to never use ovals. He then proceeds to say that you can use ovals if you're a professional, but not if you're a student. Meaning: Everyone is a student, and you never stop learning.

I think this video is just for students because it is harder to use oval to break down a picture or structure the character. It is better to use triangles, for students and for professionals, but if you are a professional and you think you're fine with it, then okay use ovals.

People don't talk about it when someone is new in art...Maybe not to discourage them. But after some time, you eventually learn that you have to get the angle right for the work to go anywhere. And I don't feel bad about making mistakes most of the times, it just needs patience, the drawing/photo will always be there and the references are also there for us to go back to.

Like, yeah, you can do whatever you want, but if you don't try to learn the basics, you probably won't improve. This ONE video did more for me than almost a decade in art classes ever did because it taught me one thing: ovals won't help you long-term. Bizarrely, ovals are STILL something they teach you and it's WEIRD.

I'm not an art student, I mostly just draw as a hobby and for my own enjoyment, but the advice in this video was MASSIVELY helpful. I never used to use references when I drew as a kid--my character designs always looked BAD, and really stiff, awkward, and blocky, and I had no idea why. After watching this video, I used some good references on my very next drawing and saw IMMEDIATE improvement, and, more importantly, I could identify the mistakes I was making. I'm not really able to commit the time to get to a pro level, but this definitely helps me get the most out of the time I do have. Fantastic vid!

I have had hard time studying anatomy because my concetration flies off right away - But now I actually am learning more than in art school.

Honestly, as an animation student, WHO didn't get into drawing until his senior year of high school, I've struggled to make up for lost time, as most of my peers have been drawing since Middle School. Now I've made a lot of progress these past 3 years, but for a while I've felt like my art has been stagnating. Thankfully, after binging a lot of your videos, I can now see how I can improve, to take my work to the next level. So from the bottom of my heart, THANK YOU. Here's to further improvement!
