Today, I answer that question once and for all, and also give you some sketchbook drawing tips.

Also included at the end 28:40 is a timelapse of a pencil drawing in my current style, depicting the subject matter that I'm the most inter...
Bloodmeat guitar
Просмотров 31612 лет назад
Sorry about the audio, I only just realized it's incredibly shitty, turn your bass down. This is a guitar cover of Bloodmeat by Protest The Hero. I learnt this song a while ago, but my sweep picking was pretty sloppy back then, and I only just decided to try it again. There are some obvious mistakes here and there, mostly me not remembering chords. Damn, strats aren't made for this stuff.

    Do you just use a generic mechanical pencils or is it a special type ( like the kuru toga)?? Also what sketchbook do you use it looks really smooth?

Can't wait to see more videos from you☺️ and forgive my silliness. I won't stop doing it but I am sorry😅🤣 I am Daniela btw. You know the one who's spamming all your posts with silly commens?

    So happy YT recommended this to me! I'm currently going through burnout, and haven't drawn in about a month, due to getting sick, and then a lot of holiday obligations. This might just be the kick in the pants I needed. Great channel, great art, and great words. I am looking forward to more. Quick question, what kind of mechanical pencil lead was that to get so dark? Very beautiful drawing!

    • @danielcotterart
      @danielcotterart 9 месяцев назад

      Thanks so much! I'm just using a regular HB lead, I layer my strokes a lot so I can get it to go darker. I've got a video on how to avoid smudging where I go into this a little bit. Anyway, I hope you can get over your burnout and get back on the grind! January is a great time to start fresh :)

    I actually started new sketchbook recently, and .. I started it from the middle, I was terrified to touch first page. I came here because I saw ur video on for you page, I was thinking okay let’s check it, I will see how ppl make beautiful sketchbook again BUT u actually gave me safe space! My sketchbooks look really similar (maybe more inks because I love it) but the mess is something what usually happens in my sketchbooks 😅 Probably I needed to see this type of sketchbook from someone else to actually start liking my sketchbook collection Thank you! I hope I will be less afraid about touching my sketchbook and just draw and have fun like you 😊

    You got such amazing work in your sketchbook, so thank you for sharing your art! How did you learn the anatomy? Did you use artbooks or youtube? I try to work on my anatomy and would be very gratefull if you could share your anatomy tips or routines Thanks anyways!

    • @danielcotterart
      @danielcotterart 10 месяцев назад

      Thanks so much! I did anatomy in a few different steps. First I put a lot of time into learning to draw the simplified mannequin of the figure. Books like Figure Drawing design and invention by michael hampton and Figure drawing for all its worth by andrew loomis helped a lot at this level. After that, I got into learning the actual muscles, Scott Eaton's "anatomy for artists" course is great, also Artistic anatomy book by paul richer. I also got the premium anatomy course by proko because the 3D models really help to understand the exact origins and insertions of the muslces. Finally, after I had a decent grasp on everything, I went through the Morpho books by michel lauricella, these books have hundreds of plates of the muscles in different squashed and stretched poses, so they're great if you already know anatomy but want to understand how to draw the muscles in lots of different poses and situations. I know that sounds really complicated! But take it one step at a time, and even if you don't get into the advanced anatomy side of things, you should be fine just putting lots of time into the basic mannequin shapes.

    • @danielcotterart
      @danielcotterart 10 месяцев назад

      Thanks so much, glad you liked it. The artist I was talking about was George Pratt, the specific video I mentioned was his course called "Comics I: Intro to Sequential Art" on new masters academy. I can't say I recommend it specifically as a course, because more than teach he goes through his older work and sketchbooks talking about what he did and what he was thinking. But it's really great to have on in the background while you draw!

  • @kerembulut5947
    @kerembulut5947 10 месяцев назад

    is this all drawn from imagination ?

    • @danielcotterart
      @danielcotterart 10 месяцев назад

      Not all of it! Most of it is, some of the figure studies are from reference, and sometimes when I'm doing a longer drawing and I'm stuck I might go and find out what something is supposed to look like. But mostly these are from imagination in this book, it was more about experimenting and challenging myself.

  • @jyllart06
    @jyllart06 10 месяцев назад

    Great video! I enjoyed it very much! What tip would you give us to keep the following sheets clean when drawing a work?

    • @danielcotterart
      @danielcotterart 10 месяцев назад

      Thank you! Happy you liked it. If you use an HB or harder pencil, especially if it's mechanical and not wood it's not gonna smudge as much. You can also use spray fixative after you've finished to keep it clean or use wax paper between sheets so they don't smudge onto each other. I've had a lot of people ask me about this so I'll make a video explaining a few different methods more in depth!
