This tutorial formula of “here’s the rule. Here’s what it means. Here’s how to apply it. Here’s the difference made, and why it works better visually” is absolute HEAVEN!! So glad to have found you have a RUclips and would love to see more teaching-style videos like this in future!
i really like how this tutorial is delivered; in many youtube videos about drawing techniques, it's like they're telling you THE RULES for HOW TO DRAW GUD and it feels kind of creatively stifling and disheartening. on the other hand, this tutorial makes me feel inspired and creatively motivated, like: wow, these seem like useful ideas to keep in mind! i wanna go draw now!
dude THANK YOU I needed someone to break this down in a form of cartoon. I don't understand real bodies and all that, I need a VISUAL of a cartoon-like style. I can't apply real anatomy to my style because I don't know how. You're a live saver
oh my gosh i am so glad i clicked on this cause this and your cell shading breakdown are explained in a way that make so much sense to me. someone else already said this, but these tutorials feel inspiring rather than making me feel overwhelmed with all the things im doing "wrong" more of these please!! you are so good at teaching things
I love the way you explain your techniques and visualize them. It's very clear and really give me some idea to improve~~ This might be the best art tutorial I have seen in 2 years!
Somehow you doing this in a cartoony style finally made perspective and foreshortening finally stick to my brain (I've been teaching myself to draw for ten years) I'm redrawing something with a new furry oc and just sketching out the pose it looks amazing. Thanks, man
what?? what?? what?!??? this is so helpful?? i feel so energized to draw suddenly. and a little >:3c about how i was already doing alot of this. but now i can do this with Intention and Direction... truly the ideal! thanks!
Whenever I search about how to make drawings a little more lively, they seem to go towards the 'background' a lot, but I'm someone who just... Isn't that confident on my backgrounds So this tutorial really helped me! I didn't knew how to use grades that well, but your explanation just made it somehow click in my head!
This video is SO freaking good. I know every single one of those tricks but i'm just so happy how someone finally mentions them all in such informative and understandable manner. Doing god's job fr 🔥🔥🔥
A big, genuine thank you from me to you. I’ve never even heard of your channel before until now, and this was genuinely super helpful! It’s the only guide I’ve seen in a long time that doesn’t ‘blame the old pose’ for not looking good, because you literally took that old pose and made it look better while still keeping it recognizable! Sorry for rambling, haha. 😅
I just discovered your channel today, and watching your tutorial videos have been so incredibly helpful, especially this one and the one about cell shading! your explanations are super concise and clear, and your art is actually SOOOO pretty!!! subscribed!! :D
Thank you wholeheartedly for this tutorial, I adore your art so much (I found Laikas Comet before finding your general art account and the colors in your comic just immediately mesmerized me). Your insight into posing is incredibly helpful and make me more aware of what exactly to think about! Your step by step way of explaining as well was very fitting for this type of tutorial. I hope to be as good as you one day!
AAA THIS IS SO GOOD TY SO MICH I’VE BEEN STUCK DRAWING THE PEACE HAND OR ONE HAND OUT BUT EACH TIME YOU ADD AN ELEMENT IT KEEPS LOOKING BETTER AND BETTER also! I noticed you also exaggerate the face into different expressions! I’ve been struggling with trying to exaggerate a pose from the first drawing so each of theese really helps!
This is the first video I've seen from you and its been an instant subscribe, your art is amazing Ive been in a rut lately art-wise and this is making me draw again
I’ve just watched a couple of your videos and I adore your style!!! You have a very nice voice for explaining and are very “let’s get to the point” which is SUCH a big plus!!! I hope you don’t mind me asking but I ADORE your outtro animation/tween!!! If you have done it yourself could you do a tutorial on that? Keep up the great work!!💚
@aktosage thank you so much! ^7^ and the animation was actually made by k_szk on twitter who is an incredibly talented artist and animation, id recommend checking them out!!
this is a really great guide! i really appreciate you taking it slow and showing the process bit by bit, instead of it feeling like "step 1. draw guidelines step 2. draw the rest of the cool pose". i love how much motion your art has in it, so thank you for sharing!
aaa you teach so well !! thank you so much for sharing your studies- im always putting them off because i find tutorials difficult to understand but honestly i learn so much from your videos 🤲
I love these breakdown vids so much! Just thinking about the little tips in your shading vid helped my art so much, and this vid is already giving mo so many ideas for things I want to experiment with. Keep it up
this was so helpful! a lot of times i save videos for later and that later never come. but i actually watched this and i hope i can remember to use these tips! :D
I watched your tutorial on lighting too, you have such a nice and concise way of explaining things! Thank you! 🌿 Your illustrations are superb and communicate even better what you mean!! :D makes me feel like I can apply this too, will try c:
Aaaah this is amazing I feel like something locked in for my brain with this! Beautiful, concise, and creative! I really need to start catching some streams lol
This video is so good and so helpful!! I always struggle with making my characters feel grounded, and will definitely be working with these tips in mind! :D
thank you so much!! I always try to watch these videos because I tend to lack that ability of being dynamic in my posing, but none have explained it better than you! While others are very.. technical.. for lack of a better word- yours feels like it comes from a place of experience and upfrontness on "Okay, make it MORE. Tails? MORE. Weight? ABOUT TO FALL OVER!" LOL just kidding.. Though it is actually super helpful X) thank you!
This is really useful but I can’t draw bodies properly yet, if you do a tutorial on that I would actually really appreciate that I always watch your VODs on yt to try and see how you draw so I can put that in my own art and I watch it on yt because I can never catch a stream cause I live in Australia and timezones are tricky You are one of my favourite artists and I hope your doing well take care
I'm a very beginner artist- and this came up in my recommended- and this is very helpful. Definitely going in my study guides. Side note; holy crap Critter is so cute!!!
hi !! sorry for the awkward comment but i'm binging your videos at 4 am bc i am in a sour mood and your vibes and art n stuff just brighten my mood so much. you are so so awesome!!! appreciate you so much man!! you're like one of my favorite artists eva
@@FaroshsFang11 trust i will never forget my traditional art siblings i love yall 🫡 i do both traditional and digital art myself but its easier to stream digital!!

See like, im very picky with poses and when i go onto pinterest, none of whats being suggested to me helps at all and it makes me feel sooo uninspired to where i havent been drawing much because being an artist with aphantasia.. is sorta ironic. I hope you make more of this video as a guide / series type thing. Your sona is super cute btw ! :D
Thank you so much, i was unironically having trouble with exactly that today, I still managed to finish it tho, but I'm sure this tutorial and other one you made will help me out a lot. Btw, one question I like to ask artists, is how much years on experience you have?.
@@AstralWanderer1 thank you for watching!! :D ive been drawing since before i could talk - i used to communicate more through drawing pictures than talking as a kid. but id say i really started taking my studies as an artist seriously when i turned 20, and im 26 now! there is always time to start, and everyone grows at different paces. i hope everyone one day will draw together with me
Oh! I've been following you in FA for a while now, didn't know you have a YT channel! I like this vid, time to stalk the entire channel to see if I like more vids to suscribe
unrelated, never seen your videos before but you sound so similar to Raine from The Owl House that I just keep picturing them coaching me on how to draw and its so fucking funny alksjdfkjdsf
Ty for the tutorial! I've been drawing random poses in my sketchbook and I want to learn how to animals so I can draw my petz from pixel petz, I'm only good at drawing ponies rn T~T

Bro fr became a Sonic character at the end😭😭 (no cuz the pose gives me Sonic Adventures vibes, It's so cool!)
it does give those vibes
I love how your sona has like paint brushes as part of their tail, it’s so cool and a concept I haven’t seen before!
I’m pretty sure the idea was based off of Smeargle
i like watching the animated critters in the bottom corners it's my version of the tiktok subway surfer videos

Very convenient for the algorithm to recommend this as I'm trying to draw my characters
Just one little problem
I'm a pencil artist
@Se-no-cs this should still work with pencil arts!! everything i do in here is by hand, omitting the rotations
@Se-no-cs generally speaking i try to make my drawing specific tutorials accessible to traditional artists as i am one as well myself!
@@fourleafisland the drawing a plane thing already gave me some vast improvements

more of these please!! you are so good at teaching things
I like how well thought your drawing perspective poses. Ty for the tutorial!
Dude the advice about framing and gesture is so Important and I feel like no one ever talks about it!!! Video so good!
I love the way you explain your techniques and visualize them. It's very clear and really give me some idea to improve~~ This might be the best art tutorial I have seen in 2 years!
