this has just completed my whole week. With all the negative in my life right now, and some bad news today, this Video came at the BEST time to bring out that glimmer of hope and focus on Art. :) perfect timing for me

Thank you for sharing your experience with us! Truly amazing. I also noticed how Mr. Watts works his page from right to left - I would probably smudge away everything on the right :)

What brand of pencil sharpener do you recommend to get long points.

@wemusthavechannelstocommen619 2 жыл бұрын

just a knife and fine grit sandpaper.

Do you know of a pencil sharpener that gives a long point?

I don't want to be the typical KZfaq negative critic here, but the shading on all of these just looks sloppy. The vertical banding he puts in, and the "smudging" with a finger just adds to the unprofessional look. Even if these aren't meant to be finished works and just an aid to helping one decide on final look, a more realistic rendering of lighting would aid one so much more. Of course, this may be mostly for comic book style, and if so, that's a different story. They do a lot of stylistic things that readers have gotten used to, and expect. I don't think it's much help, if one is interested in fine-arts.

They're thumbnail sketches to give an initial idea of lighting not finished pieces so they have to be done quickly. Your criticism is a nitpick. Napkin sketches aren't supposed to be clean.

It's a shame you weren't there to coach Bob at the early stages of his long and succesful Illustration career on how to make clean thumbnail sketches. I'm sure he would have appreciated your expertise in the subject. Seriously though, this looks like very clean and professional work to me.

@jamiekomodo1751 2 жыл бұрын

@@kullenberg just so. Many people do want a career in illustration, which is why I mentioned comic art.

@harambe3363 2 жыл бұрын

no matter the style of art, this isn't even stylistic shading. Its a sketch. Blocking in values is not a style. From professional to noobie this is literally how thumbnail sketches look and are done. Why? because sketches do not need to look polished, thats a waste of time. They just need to get to the point. Maybe when you get better and start doing jobs youll see the ridiculous flaws in your thinking. If your sketches need to be finished pieces of work, good luck getting a job with your extremely slow workflow. AND SMUDGING IN GENERAL IS A CENTURY OLD TECHNIQUE. It's quite effective for small smudges when you have no smudging pencil. WHat next youre gonna say finger painting is unprofessional. If it works, it works my guy.
