I'm really enjoying these longer videos! Thank you! 😀👍🏻

I like when things in an image seem to pop out from a border. Like when a stream of water that looks like it keeps on flowing past the border. And with comic strips, it's more exciting when something goes outside their boxes, like if a character is throwing something and it kinda joins the next box of what is happening next. I like seeing artists go outside the box for comics, it's entertainment to our eyes. I once started creating a comic book when I was in 6th grade. Few years ago, my kids saw my first sketches. My story line needed more work than the drawings, lol.

I took art in Middle School and my teacher went over this. She would say "try to fill most of the space and find composition". You've explained it in more depth and the visual demonstration is super helpful! 🙂

I'm absolutely loving your long videos! I'm learning so much. Thank you for sharing your experience with us.

You are providing the best teaching tool you! Scott thank you for taking the time to make art fun and a great learning experience.

Yay for a new video, I don’t enjoy drawing, but I thoroughly enjoy watching art being created! Thanks for the video!!!

I like the longer videos because they are very educational ❤❤❤

This is SO helpful! As someone who struggles to make any interesting backgrounds, hearing it broken down is so enlightening! It's something that'll stick with me forever

These long form videos are so useful! I'm learning stuff I've not seen mentioned anywhere else before. Every source of negative space I've come across only talks about the small areas within a subject. Never seen any source mention anything about how borders come into play. 10/10 will try asap.

Great video man. Negative space can really help me stop thinking about what I’m drawing and see the shapes I need to draw to help with accurate proportions and stuff, but to think about it compositionally is a really great tip! Thank you for another great video.

These longer videos are so much more informative and are really helpful! Thanks Scott! I do like the shorts as well because they are good to watch if I’m stuck and need a quick solution!

I love how cartoon and manga artists use negative space in their panels. It alone can create a wide range of emotions.

Thank you Scott! This helps so much!

This actually helps me a lot because I've been struggling with this lately

This video was really helpful ty!

Well, it IS science and math, but it's also art. Science and Math aren’t rules (though they are sometimes mistakenly described that way). They're just tools to help us describe and understand the world around us. There are SO many variables that influence what we like and don't like! You are absolutely right that we need to keep trying different things and experimenting to find what makes our art special and fun! ❤

this helped a whole lot! like your gouache and watercolor tutorial shorts, you have a great way of breaking down a style or technique so that it makes more sense without making it technical or intimidating to follow along. with the longer videos, it’s really great that you can explain your processes and influences more. thanks so much!

I've been trying to re-take art and it's like, my sketches are looking better already, but I keep feeling like they tend to lack something in general. Gonna try implementing negative space play in practice rounds to see if that's my missing je-ne-sais-quoi. Undoubtedly it's going to help and be fun either way, so why not? Saving this to the essentials playlist in case I ever forget again. :) it's lovely to see you doing longer vids!

The algorithim is truly doing you dirty by not promoting your longer videos, they’re a gem

These longer videos are crazy good! how was your day tho?

Awesome! Another wonderful explanation of something that, as a non-artist in the graphic department, I had no idea existed but that is sure to blow my mind and keep me thinking about it for days 🤩 Also, as a theater actress, I am super interested in all things space and how I can use it to improve my craft. I can't wait to see how I can put this into action on scence! ❤

I LOVE your long videos , they help me a lot , thank you!

Wow!!! Amazing art lesson with real examples. This was better than any art class I have taken.

hi scott, im a huge fan and doing GCSE art at my school. i love ur art and have been watching ur videos since 2021 and u have inspired me to become better. anyway, i hpe you have a nice day ; )

This is the best explanation of negative space I've seen. Thank you

Not only do these videos teach me about art it also gives me motivation to do art and makes me excited about it! ❤

Thank you for this wonderful video, I've always had trouble with background and I never really thought to do borders like this. Your art is absolutely gorgeous, thank you for sharing it with us

I'm finding these longer videos super helpful! Thanks so much Scott :D

The one thing nobody ever talks about enough like perspective :)

This is fascinating! Never thought of it in this way. Thank you for sharing this!

These longer videos are fantastic. Inspiring and informative. Please keep up the great work. Being an artist with no formal training, I constantly look forward to building on my education from Professor Sava.

i learned so much from your short videos now im learning even more in your long videos.

That is fascinating!! I actually did go to art school, but I really don’t think that was covered nearly as well as you just explained it! Can’t wait to play with my negative spaces more. Loving the more in depth videos!

I really love how this explanation is framed. It's half-explanation, half-exploration, and we get so many details in your thought process over the course of it that it feels like this is stuff we could easily notice and implement ourselves. It's a workshop, not a lecture, where the master isn't telling you what to do or avoid, but just showing you some interesting spots and asking what you could do with that, all Socratic style. And in the end, it feels like the brain just taught itself, which makes it much easier to remember next time! Love your stuff, Scott, you're the best!

Another awesome video, thank you!

HOLY CRAP, thank you so much Scott. No other video I've ever watched explained negative space so simply and intuitively as you have, THANK YOU!! 🙏

these longer videos are super helpful :DD i never really understood negative space but this made it make a lot more sense so thank you :)))

I want you to know that I share your videos with my HS art class all the time! Love your channel Scott!

I love your videos :) Thanks Scott I truly appreciate you!

this helped me a lot! thank you :D

This was so helpful! Thank you Scott!

That was very helpful! Thank you!!

This is an eye opener! You've discussed it in a more practical way than when my professor discussed this at 1st year 😅. I needto actually work on this to enhance my composition, thanks!

Im so glad i decided to check out your longer videos, this is really helpful!

I love your videos! Can you make a peice of art with ONLY Hatches and Cross hatches? It is my favorite!

Love the video it really helps

Thank you for fleshing out this concept ❤

This is so helpful! Great video :)

Love these explanation! Thank you ❤😊

This is brilliant, such an important lesson to learn ☺☺☺

Amazing video Scott thank you!!!❤

Just wanted to drop by and say that I am really liking the longer videos. Shorts are great at grabbing my attention, but these bite sized 5 minute videos are perfect for when I need a breather and wanna relax and learn about art!

These longer videos have been really helpful! Thanks for sharing so much useful knowledge with us, Scott! ☺️

Wow. What a great way of explaining!

I genuinely needed these longer videos, they’re helping me way more than I thought they would🤧thankyou so much really💖

Thank you! Explained so wonderfully

Love this! I've never really studied up on art, so this is a refreshing concept for me. It's gonna help me rethink the composition of my stuff in the future. Thank you! ^_^

This is so helpful actually, thank you so much Scott!❤

This is so helpful! I had no idea this is a thing. Thank you so much for making this video.

That was such a wonderful tip sir! I learn a lot from you!!

This is fascinating!

Wow this is a very helpful video!! Thank you so much for all these ideas 🙌

This was so interesting and informative! 😮 Thank you!!!

You explain these ideas so well! It makes it so easy to understand! Thank you!

Wow! This actually really helps!

Thank you for this video. I struggle sooO0oOoo much with the background of my drawings. They always look like they are floating 😂

Aaaaa I love thisss!!! Thank you Scott!! You’re such an incredibly kind person, and your explanations are very friendly for this fellow autistic persons brain ☺️ You’re like KZfaq’s friendly art uncle 🎨

This is really helpful! I'm going to try this in the future!

This will definitely make my art more interesting. Thanks Scott.

I think this is a really great startingpoint for people trying out negative space. When i first learned about it, it was in similar forms as those logos, so i associated it with smart "visual puns", not a general tool in Art. This feels like a way more freeing approach.

thank you scott!

Thank you for being so cool and friendly in your vids, watching that has helped me recover from artistic burnout.

I love these videos!!! The way you explain it makes it so easy and fun to understand, I struggle a lot to understand these kind of useful techniques to improve my art, but every time I watch your videos I instantly get it!!! Thank you so much for making these art tutorials, you are so nice 🥺

Dear Scott- thank you so much for showing all of your processes of creating art. It helps so many aspiring artists, myself included. Just thank you. 🙏🏼

One of my art teachers talked a lot about the importance of negative space between objects/subjects when you’re working with multiple objects/subjects as well. The amount of negative space between subjects and the shape of it can really change a piece as well. Like that reference where the person is holding the scroll. That’s a really interesting use of negative space because of the angle of the scroll compared to the person. Changing where subjects/objects are in relation to each other can really change the feel of the piece

Lately, I've been really enjoying your content. Your lives, shorts, and long form videos help me a lot. Thank you for being our art wizard Scott ❤

thank you so much for this video! I have been taught so many times what positive and negative space is but never how to utilise in your artwork. This makes so much more sense now and I'm definitely going to keep this in mind going forward

I love these longer videos. Please can you make a tutorial on figure and anatomy. Thank youu!

I really loved the thumbnail with the long hair !!

Very helpful!

I never thought about the negative space while drawing, though I had heard the theory before. This was wonderfully simple yet thorough. Thank you :)

I always find youre Videos and shorts to be very teaching. (Im secretly Stealing youre way of drawing hair because i love youre style)

I now add this to my list of favorite artists with my favorite bits of art. Top 1 Now I feel the urge to practice free drawing

This was super helpful! I never had a very good understanding of how to use negative space effectively, but after watching this video I have so many ideas on how to improve my artwork! Thank you so much!

All of your videos make me really happy & You inspire me a Lot to work to improve & enjoy My art more. Thank You :)

i love watching these videos. i rarely do art. they're just that entertaining, i guess.

this really helped me understand the concept of negative space, I used to be a bit confused but now I understand it, or *at least* the basics, thanks scott! (oh and btw, I love the longer (and short) content btw! looking forward to watch them all!)

I have only learned about negative space in the context of photography, and thought of it as big parts of the image with "nothing". Either for a sense of scale (eg small bird in a blue sky), sense of movement (eg a lot of space behind a running person), for composition (eg placing the object in the golden ratio on the background), or for the purpose of having space for words (like a title cover for a magazine). I love your take on it, thinking of negative space as shapes that can add interest!

THANK YOU!! You helped me see what I wasn't.

Genius!

I got my dragon and centaur poster in the mail yesterday! ❤ 😊

2:10 and 3:33 are really great ways to make negative space. I should give that a go sometime. Great video!

I was inspired by another of your video to draw something every day. The way you showcased negative space (especially the one with the black dress and the last one with the flowing hair) makes me want to draw with negative space for tomorrow's drawing

I love this! I never actually knew what negative space referred to before but this makes me think a lot.

fire long vid 🔥

the way my jaw dropped when i finally saw the gorilla and lion in the tree of the zoo logo! and the little fish underneath?? that’s so gorgeous

You are trone of the tre person who has instpired me the most🥰😀🤛🏻
