Been drawing for a longass time, mostly do very careful and elaborate pixelart animation but could never take my illustration seriously, maybe trough something like this I can get to a Yoji Shinkawa type style

This was incredible! Would love a whole series of this

Love this style of content, keep up the good work! 👌

BelovedXanax

Thank you my fellow left handed brethren. ✌️❤️

I either put some paper under my hand or write in a "floating manner" without touching the paper.

TimiTao

that is great :) Would be nice to see another part :)

Genuine question: being left handed, does one come into drawing/sketching with a handicap? Any fellow lefthandys know EXACTLY what I’m talking about…the old smear monster…

BelovedXanax

This is exactly WHY i will be apart of Planet Noxxy 🙏

Whakada Bellgate

thank you. This was really inspireing.

I was going to say that I appreciate the tutorial but can we drop the accent? I mean, I alreaday knowr I cahn't drawr an'd thee ahccernt irsn't 'ehlping. Now i'm starting to think you may very well be Australian or at least Aussie adjacent. Say Hi to Randy Feltface for me and enjoy those Bunnings' Snags.

I cant help notice over the coarse of the video your tea/coffee slowly gathers stuff.

One of the things i was taught with painting, was to go out into the bush or park or garden, and just pick up a random object, then bring it back and use that as a brush. But instead of just using the thing as is in the way i would a pen or a paint brush, we were told to use the faces, or break it in half and just rub it on the page, using the chaos of a tool to create organic shapes and lines. One of the funnier lessons was when we were all told to paint a canvas of the thing in the middle of the room, then told to stop randomly and go out to the garden while it was wet, and rub it in the dirt, lol, it really opened my eyes up to the texture of elements around me not just the paint or ink, but grit and flecks and flakes of stuff.

I've always be partial to BIC ballpoint pens (the super cheap packs of 20+), they tend to have excellent sketching and ink. They're less professional looking but have great adaptability. [See community tab for example images] -EDIT- Scratch that. apparently community tab is APP only now. n/m heres some links instead https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/291360062700650496/1193204754147459122/Wolfe_BICpen_30-04-2014.png https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/291360062700650496/1193204753757384744/Wolfe_PenBIC01.jpg

Never though to use just a wash brush with nothing to spread around, thats really interesting. (note Aldi has imitation copics "Creative PL: graphic markers" with a wash marker in there if anyone wants some cheaper options for pens)

Jack_Wolfe

Dam.. this is actually useful, i've actually been trying to draw like someone whos just started drawing for ages and i cant stop myself correcting things. HAving your observations into how people start out drawing and your styles of teaching it, is so helpful for adding to my collection of knowledge. This should help me fix some of the bits i've been struggling with.

Andy Livengood

Thank you!!! Love this!

Brandon West

Everyone always asks "Where's the line." James is asking "How's the line"

JAMES. YOU DON’T KNOW HOW MUCH I’M EATING THIS UP. YOU’RE LIKE, MY BIGGEST INSPO AS AN ARTIST LIKE… SINCE EVER. THANK YOU GENUINELY I NEEDED THIS SO MUCH YOU DONT UNDERSTA

Alexey Sidorov

I'm by no means an artist, farthest thing away from it actually, but I'm doing gamedev on the side. Although this video is not about creating assets digitally, nevertheless I could extract a surprising amount of information that will indirectly help me with my goals. Also might be a start of a new hobby. Love your videos, love your vibe. Thank you so much for the tutorial!

Marley

I hope you make more tutorial stuff like this!! It was a fun way to loosen up and just doodle. Prius man had me laughing a bit too hard and this honestly helped me approach my work from a more positive angle. Thank you!

ImJUNE

I might actually try to get back into traditional drawing thanks to that video! I stayed with digital drawing for a good while because I found traditional drawing more challenging for some reason. ^^'' Thank you for the video!

Raymond

I got my start drawing abstract shapes and drawing very sloppy doodles of my favourite characters, similarly to how you described here, which helped me to learn expressions and proper lineart. These kinds of videos hugely help with contrast and variation-I’m far from a perfect artist but these kinds of tips help me to improve even more! Excellent tutorial, also very soothing cuz of the music and your voice

Abbie Peters

This is very beneficial to get back into drawing

Thank you so much for this! I used to draw a lot as a kid but between art teachers and my family I lost the motivation until here recently.

Zed

I used to draw a lot, but I've just plateaued with my skill, and I just.... Can't get better. I still find myself accidentally feathering my lines, and like, struggling to have a solid connective lines lmfao. I suuuuck with faces and eyes, but like, I adore drawing hands... It's like my favourite thing to draw lmfao
