- Peter Han is an incredible artist, instructor and the author behind the well known art book “Dynamic Bible”. He joined us at the Proko booth during this year’s Lightbox Expo to record a few demos. In part 1 he talks about training to draw from imagination while drawing a dwarf and hog. He’ll take you through the thought process behind constructing a fantasy character while explaining line work and adding shadows with ink.

m c??,
@@vivatrinacria You have mental issues.
Can you PLEASE please Aslk Peter how did he start with that unique shape though..the arc and side of face HOW that's a specific shape already..seems like it was pre-planned or forethought a little already..
Peter should do TED talks. He speaks with such conviction about art....it's so inspiring!
True
Yeah! He is very passionate.
Don't hesitate and it comes out as the only action you can do.
@Vismund yup. Yes awesome.
Not saying what he said is wrong, but speaking confidently is important if you want to sell people your stuff.
.THE GUY SPEAKS FLUENT 'ARTISTIC PASSION'.
Yes.
Yah
He's an instructor at Art Center College of Design.
That's probably where that firm directive voice comes from.
Whoever is reading this,
I hope you have a great day!
Here is some artist inspiration for you 🎨 ✨

Peter : explains process very clearly.
Me : Must be those brush pens...
Lol, brush pens are super hard to use!!! Really the best thing is just get a bunch of art supplies and find what gives you the art you want. Rn I use super soft color pencils because I like variation in my opaqueness but I cannot erase, which allows me to still search for shapes/etc but I am building confidence in my line placement. I use a lot of pens that give super solid no-variation lines because it fits my style. But I can also paint with acrylics, watercolour, gouache, and use brush pens, pencils, charcoal, pastels (chalk and oil), POSCA and other paint pens, paper, etc. Took me two years but now I know what I like :)
It’s funny cause thats how I was when I first started drawing.
he's got life flowing from his imagination through to his fingertips, my hat is off to Peter.
I've spent so much because I think"this thing will make art better" rookie mistake lol
@@lunarlight2585 i've found the secret tho, training visual shapes with brush pens is very easy because brush pens forces you to make interesting shapes because of how hard it is to control. It'll take you longer but you'll turn out better after using brush pens.
Some tips I wrote that he said during the video:
.
.
.
- Most common mistake is about Proportion
- Draw the basic shapes when trying to draw new things.
- Think about your intentions when you draw. Draw in layers of intentions.
- Don't overwork a drawing.
- Commit to the line, commit to the shape.
- Give subtlety and care when drawing fabric materials.
- Always know what you're trying to do.
- Give it time
- Don't get tunnel visioned.
- Be consistent, find your strengths and weaknesses.
- Don't rush, have a clear intention and have fun!
- Draw everyday.
- Explore different things when you draw to avoid burnout.
- When shading, go from general to the details.
- Be quick in the beginning
- Use thumbnails for problem solving.
- Cross contours increase volume.
- Be consistent when hatching, follow the form
- Being knowledgeable about shape design is the industry standard.
- Move on when you are satisfied with an image, and do more drawings!
Missed the most important one. Draw for fun.
@@daniel4647 I didn't miss it xD ; It's after ''Don't rush, have a clear intention'' Sorry, I was typing as I was hearing him say it.
Thank you!!
he talks to much🤣 ikr
Your words should be on a poster or something.
I've never found getting flexed on so fascinating to watch.
That's what I was thinking. Like, damn dude. I can draw decent, but this dude and Peter Draws are masters!
Nathan I know it’s great.
Really, you think this was so great... then if you watch BrotherBaston, Sinix Design or/and Emilyena, you will have a heart attack.
@@PochoNieves Those channels are cool and thanks for the recommendations but I can't see how what they are doing is on the same level as this guy honestly. They are skilled for sure, but they just aren't doing the same things. From what I've seen they all seem to be speaking over streams of digital artwork that were clearly originally several hours long, time-lapsed and clipped to be 10-20 minutes.
What Peter Han is doing here is way more impressive to me. He has no undo, no references, very little pre-planning, does it all in ink, and pretty much within 30 minutes. All while also commenting the whole time.
So yeah, no heart attack here.
@Pocho Nieves: I just checked their art. Those guys aren't bad but look kinda average to me. They look too much like a lot of other "internet artists" (10 a penny on sites like DA, different people but very similar looking material, so, easily "lost in the crowd"). So if you think they're better than this guy, then people like Mitch Byrd, Simon Bisley, Virgil Finlay & Moebius will give you a heart attack. The good thing about these artists too is that their styles arent the same as a dozen other well known artists. They look unique enough to easily tell the artist just by looking at the picture, and, like this Pete Han bloke, their art is much more intricate and detailed.
It's like a 30 minute signature. No stopping
Im slower, my drawings are like 1-2+ hour signatures :(
@@ncshuriken so is everyone who isn't a specific type of professional artist tbf
ruclips.net/video/djFYmXvT6iA/видео.html
@Sigma Freud & @Ben_Shephard:
Cool well thats a comfort to hear. Thanks for the encouraging words :)
Yeah this looks fake
My god, not only he's inking without an underlying sketch, he's also interviewing himself while he's doing it
Dude sometimes I even forget to breathe when I'm inking...
Who is your god?
@@ThisMyhandlenow Probably Peter Han
Im an introvert like HARDCORE, but after sharing art with other artists makes me realize that my drawings are better than i noticed and other artists are the NICEST people youll ever talk to.
All the artists I met are complete assholes that act high and mighty so that made me more introverted
@@revenga01 some are, usually when they think art is easy or simple.
People with passion about the work they are doing are usually nice. Artists especially since most got into it via hobby and passion.
This is free content? Holysh!t. Guy give years of experiences for free. Awesome!
Artistic pay forward.
Follow his twitch account.
the trick is 99.9% people won't understand any of it. and the 0.1% understands it and wants more so they paid to join his class. Win/win
@@GiganticTOFU is it true?
Draw near to God. And have an eternal life, peace, Joy, And the only way to God is through Jesus, who is God himself.
The so called "World elite" is a slave of satan, and dont want you to know the truth. Even SIRI is programmed not to answer the question "Who is Jesus"
When other worldly false leaders such as Budha, mohammed, krishna, satan answered with enough explanation...Seek the truth Open your Holy Bible, and get The eternal life the world (satan and his "elite slaves )doesnt want u to get through Jesus , and receive the eternal life,
Jhon 14:6
Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.
7 If you had known Me, you would know My Father as well.
7:20 There. The way he in one stroke draws a varied and decisive looking line that defines the shape without any repetition and with such speed is the sign of a real master.
it takes a lot more to be called a master. with all respect to peter han.
@@magma169 Haha, most definitely sir -- that might be a sign, but it's certainly no test.
if you scribble in a certain way you can learn this. try to surprise yourself and let go of conscious control. you can regain it and give these "random" lines a distinctive look, like clothes, rocks, leafage, ...
This is something I notice in particular with him and Kim Jung Gi. Those long, confident, unbroken strokes that they do are so impressive, and watching them do it has actually helped me.
@@magma169 I’m curious as to who is a master by your standards if he does not make your qualifications.
Did that guy just interview himself???
Lol yes. He's amazing!
He interviewed himself while drawing better than all of us at the same time 😂😭
@@Getcakedieyoung23 lol for sure, I want to talk like he did there for like one week...see what people say...
Omg lol
ahaha!
Not only does Peter very artistically talented but his verbal articulations while drawing simultaneously is amazing. His story telling, educating with power conviction.
The things he says are great techniques on how to deal with life in general. He describes such a peak mental state for someone striving to make their ideas and dreams come to fruition. Everything is perspective and the infinite possible angles you can view things from and how to use each angle to better yourself and evolve as a person in a positive way.
That's kinda deep for a quick drawing lesson!
That's Peter Han.
Well put :)
That's one of the reasons I am learning how to draw on my own. Because now I am learning how to learn.
@@bydefinition7964 you can actually get it from a lot of artists among other practitioners of a craft. There's something about dedicating yourself to such a thing involving constant improvement through trial and error experience that allows us to realize and gain insight on life itself.
@@denis_ds Same. I've been drawing since I was 4 tho. It's only into my adulthood and after much trauma and tribulation and a sort of voluntary vulnerability that now through art I am discovering myself more than ever.
I have had a lot of trouble drawing lately and have lost a lot of drawing confidence. This video really helped
I have this problem to lately. in a big way. One thing that helps, is remembering that the pros that we look up to have phases like this too, but they just ignore it, show up at the drawing table every morning, and produce shity art untill that phase passes. another thing I noticed they do is try new techniques or styles when they don't feel like working. Basically they'll do anything but stop.
Thanks that’s really helpful 🙂
When I’m having “artist block” I can’t even watch somebody else draw, just makes me mad at myself, the fact that you having troubles but here on RUclips watching a great artist draw means you already in the process of fixing that problem. I honestly feel the same way often, but WE can’t let that stop us..so keep goin, keep drawin, yo head in the right place.
@@sebastiandiaconu1221 funny thing is that even the "best" work I've produced is terrible and pails in comparison to what pros. Regardless, I like my amateur drawings not because they're good, but I'm making progress and can see what needs to be improved.
I think same could be applied to many skills. In Starcraft 2 I was burning out n major loss of confidence, then i tried something new then i played better than ever. Then just doing that new thing I began to stagnate again.
This is exactly what I needed.
I started taking as many art classes in high school as I could, but those classes pushed more towards replicating real life scenes or pictures. It chipped away at my creativity, and instead have I become the best _replicator_ in the school.
Same here. I'm excellent at replicating other cartoon art. But, I want to make something of my own that I can share and be proud of. I want my own personal ideas. I can't take credit for redrawing someone else ideas.
i think that's part of the process. you have to know the basics first and how images in real life works before you set off on your own (at least that's what i think). :^) if you feel like you're just copying and not really observing the objects that you're "copying" in real life maybe you're doing something wrong.
Me too 😔 but I’m improving without references
Peter is that rare balanced combination of brilliant artist and teacher. 5-6 years ago I took his Dynamic Sketching 1 class on the CGMA site about 6 years ago. If you’re stuck, if you never really took drawing classes but you have the passion, if you’ve been drawing for years but feel frustrated and want to propel yourself to the next level, take the class. Peter’s Dynamic Sketching classes will force you to face shortcomings and solve them, force you to be a true student again (there’s serious homework for several weeks). For the record, I was 56 when I took that class and had been drawing all my life-have nothing to do with CGMA and have not taken another class on the site. But that class propelled me forward and ignited an old passion. If you’re interested in a small taste, I believe Peter’s Dynamic Sketching 1 has a teaser of about 20 min (for the first class only) somewhere here on RUclips.
Great advice from Peter Han that caught my eye:
1. Draw with a clear intention, what do you what your piece to show, what do you want the focus to be
2. When getting critic from others don't focus only on what's not working, also focus on what is working (so avoid only seeking negative critic, and also avoid only seeking positive critic)
3. Drawing from imagination is based on your experience and knowledge of the basic shapes of the objects you're drawing.
I wrote the exact same 3 pieces of advice into my notepad!! I think these are really things I needed to hear and will help me a lot
My god! Proko just basically turned me on to Peter Han just now! I’ve been dealing with ADD my whole life but have learned how to cope. Peter Han’s voice, instruction and incredible gift for explanation has been absorbed by my brain so clearly that I feel such inspiration to try his way of drawing as soon as I can get to it! Peter don’t ever ever stop teaching! You have a gift. Trust this 58 year old illustrator wannabe!
How's it going now? Made any improvements on your work?
We're lucky to live in a world that features so many talented artists... but what a true rarity it is to find those who can "translate" the magic of what they do into words. Many thanks.
Drawing, itself, is hard enough but this guy talks and draws with no problem. Shows how experienced he is.
3:25 Dude finds a plastic cup with leftover coffee, ponders for a moment, shrugs, and finishes it.
thanx fa the easter egg lulz
DonReba lol
Haha, good catch :D
Uhhhh....5 hour rule?
this isn't related to the video but, lol
Not only is this video a display of tremendous skill and passion in drawing, it's also a masterpiece from a pedagogical perspective. Peter Han is a phenomenal teacher.
to think that he's drawing a cool picture and giving valuable advices while doing it at the same time, that's superbly impressive,
as usual, thank you Proko!
"Not every piece is about rendering it to a photo realistic level..." I need that tattooed on my arm.
Same 😂
Photo realism is so boring too.
I think that comment was directed toward people who are capable of drawing on a photorealistic level in the first place. 😉
Semi realistic would be enough with stylized portrait
That's a bit too much for being tattoed on your arm, make it short xp
That dude: makes an art piece in 15 minutes.
Me: wastes 4 minutes trying to draw a circle.
He has done countless hours of drawing practice, probably had many sleepless nights to reach to the point where he can draw like that.
If you haven't put that much hard work then it's just hopeless to compare. Remember, to reach to where he is now you have to work twice as hard cause you will never catch up with same hard work as him....
every stroke he is making, has many years experience in it. keep practising and you’ll make it.
Not wasting, friend. Putting 4 minutes into your shape drawing tank. We can't get to his level without putting those minutes in, and they are never wasted.
"wastes"
great job making it all about you
I just wanna say as someone that couldn't afford to finish art school, I am very grateful for videos like this.
Thank you for the TED talk
Peter Han is a genuinely good guy, he also really cares about helping the next generation of artist
"Art is never finished, only abandoned."
made me rethink my while life for a sec lol.
That sounds so sad...
that's so not true wtf lol
I love how Peter sounds. His voice alone is inspiring.
not gonna lie, this was so freeing for me. i spent hours after watching this video just drawing out ideas i had and having clear intention of what i wanted to put on paper. i loved it, it really brought back that love for drawing that i had as a child
I met Peter once or twice when we were both students at Art Center. He was crazy good then, but this demo shows how much effort he's put in since.
I love how he mentions that dwarves have very blockish design and the very first thing he draws on the dwarves' head is a square block. Both very inspired and mundanely literal.
You're not just a great artist but a great teacher as well you explain things in a way that people can understand.
This has become my favorite video on RUclips ever, I’m going to rewatch this many times, thank you so much and I’m going to look into this man from now on
Wow. I've never learned so much about an artist's (successful/productive) mindset until now and I've been a quasi-artist all my life. This explanation just COMPLETELY changed my entire approach to the drawing table. Thank you so much for presenting this! And Master Han if you ever come across this, know I am forever indebted. Continued success to you.
He is so inspirational. I've been telling myself the exact same things he says for the past few years, but I learned them in bits and pieces and never convicted to any of them. He condenses into a single amazing video, which is literal gold. I am so glad I found this now. Everything he says is so on point and is precisely what I need to listen to.
"Do what ever you like to that like button"
*Smiles creepily*
He's actually teaching a great life lesson. We sometimes go into projects/life with a perfect idea of how it will turn out but sometimes you gotta go with the flow and learn to problem solve and be okay with how it turns out. Don't worry about what others think or even what you (your worst critic) think.
Everything I needed to hear. A professional talking about insecurities while doing something I admire. Sometimes we only think that the insecure ones are just the ones starting.
Stan and the team, thank you for these invaluable videos which have been coming out non-stop lately! They are truly Christmas and New Year’s treats I sincerely cherish!
As a musician, I find his words immensely helpful.
This guy is amazing, speaking clearly, thinking about everything around the drawing, explaining stuff, and does it all fluently.
Speechless. I am beyond words.
I love how he isn't conventional and starts with a point stroke of a pen and just fills in the rest of the details.
Feels like yesterday when I was sitting in front of Peter, I had the amazing chance of learning from him! He really is something else with his art and how he teaches.
This is the video I always come back to when I need some inspiration. The fact I can learn something new with every watch, even when I've already seen it a dozen times amazes me.
Dude my roommate is his apprentice and getting to talk to him is always an absolute pleasure. He's so articulate and respectful
The force is strong with this one. Great advice. I’m going to have to watch this periodically to remind myself to enjoy the process and don’t worry about the results. Every drawing is a chance to learn and grow.
Peter: My friend call me printer.
me: *chuckle* Printer Han.
?????

@@BasedAlaric People require no IQ to understand this unless statement.
I always liked hearing from peter in the ask artist vidoes, so cool that he did a demo now!
Great teacher/communicator inspiring others to try with a mind clear of negative mental blocks,to focus on the essentce of the big picture/message, to surpass one's limitations,and the importance of honest play and feedback,other perspectives,to the creative process. So much to draw .So little time. A sketch app for one's device is always a handy tool for imagineers.
best video I've watched in years. I would listen to this artist talk while he draws for hours..... very good.
He is simply brilliant !!!! Intelligent artistic...great clarity and very articulate. He is so much fun to watch ...wow...wish he could be my art teacher
Peter Han is not only a talented artist, but an extremely inspirational and knowledgeable teacher.
15:46 i think composition is one of the most important yet overlooked things in art. glad Peter talked about it!
I really like the way he teaches.. Hes great at communicating how his drawing proces is. Really amazing stuff :)
Santa Proko, you give us so many gifts ! Thanks alot.
Peter is a fast thinking and fun teacher, he has a new sub.
This is excellent. One seldom gets to see the stroke by stroke creation of a very skilled artist at work. And his detailed narrative was one of the best I've ever heard by a practicing artist. So I really admire this artist even though my own drawings have nothing to do with this type of cartoon art. A rare treat!
I Love The way He Talks and Interviews himself
He was a little bit intense for me in past interviews but I'm happy to say I've changed my mind. His teaching style suits my learning style. 😮 it doesnt feel like I wasted any time. This has been very helpful to me. 😊 thank you, proko!! I wouldnt have been able to see Peter otherwise.
i took his dynamic drawing course, learned soo much.
You can apply the way he speaks about art to life and it works too. Wow!
Proko you are one of my best teachers thank you for your content
Damn this video came at the right timing
am walrus same bro same.
wow I’ve never heard anyone explain something so well and efficient before, this was SO informative I might get that book of his
I can watch him for hours upon hours!!
Fantastic stuff. Thank you, Stan for introducing me to this brilliant artist/teacher/illustrator etc...
"I've used one pen, for the entire thing."
every brush pen artist
Lol yeah
Most artist are not able to express their thought process. but It's rare to find a good artist like him who is able to verbally explain their exact thoughts when he draws.
Notice at 1:26 how the fold in his left sleeve creates a line that suggests volume in the 2-D image we see on our screen. Truly a master-teacher demonstrating his theories in realtime
Looking for the one drawing instruction video that you need to see? This is it. Quick hands, quick brain, quick tongue. Efficiency and clarity from top to bottom and inside-out, in line and speech. Very much appreciated, Mr. Han.
Settings intention after intention is a huge tip thats helped me personally progress. I learned that from doing hot yoga to set my intention. But he said it beautifully in this video. Once you felt you achieved one intention then set another. Work in chunks, don't be hard on yourself, and combat the trouble areas. If I catch myself being frustrated with an art piece I stop and come back to it before I completely ruin my intention. Start multiple drawings and come back to one to build on top of it. Take photos of the progression too. Sometimes we become attached to a medium before appling another medium. Take the picture and move on yhis way you don't feel you are leaving potential on the table by leaving a drawing in its current state.
this was extremely helpful. Thank you so much Proko for always posting videos like this! 💕
talked with him and his wife at comic con, had a nice chill conversation
Fantastic Han!!! Thank you for sharing.
Man, what a great artist and teacher! He explains so clearly and confidently!
I really love his work , and I'm waiting for the reprint of his book.
"Experience is another name for our mistakes" 🤘🏼
This low-key how I create my music sometimes. Absolutely amazing! Learned a lot, thank you for this free content!! 🙏🏼🙏🏼
You and I seem to clearly create different music because I learned nothing from 7 years of fucking up lol.
before I watched this video I drew very minimally and slowly. Now I started drawing more "aggressively" by drawing more confidently and faster. Doing this can definitely help you become a better artist.
love free-hand drawings
way more fun to do than structured
I feel like this year's 12 days has a theme going. So many nuggets of wisdom between this one and Kim Jung Gi's interview. Thank you soooo much for doing this, it completely transformed my mind set. Merry Christmas, Stan - you are indeed the best art teacher I've ever encountered :)
Incredible artist and an amazing communicator
Watching Peter draw was fascinating but his advice about studying an object and then trying to draw it from memory and also the advice about figuring out your objective to keep from overworking the art was invaluable!
Easily, one of the most useful talks I've ever heard.
This was the most inspiring thing I've seen for the end of the year!! Thank you Peter and Proko!!
That was an incredible demonstration. We need more like that. Speed and confidence is something I lose sleep over because I just can’t get it. This gave some strong idea of how to think differently about that.
The way he effortlessly and so quickly use the angles of the pen to make thicker lines in incredible. What a talented artist and a great talker.
Peter han is one hell of an artist and a teacher
Proko you're doing insane work ! Thank you!
He's a Hero for me, took a CGMA class with him teaching. Mind changer! Unstuck my art block. I may lack alot of practice to be honest. I had the chance to put my hand on his Artbook :D
I saw his CGMA class and was considering applying for it too! He seems like a nice guy and a good teacher
Art is beautiful.. Life is art. Persistence and patience.
I'm glad to say that his classes were my favorite even though I was never able to really pursue an art career from attending art center
Perfect Artist to teach this. Awesome!
The really makes me want to draw a lot
This video made me take out my dusty markers and begin to sketch again. Thank you so much Peter, and thank you Proko for sharing this. What a legend.
Hell yeah! That's awesome to hear!
Exitment of a finished piece of art and your curiosity are the two fuels that pushes you to being able to practice daily art and become a better artist, you have a character you really like, its your curiosity and excitement about the picturing that image which makes you want to draw, if you dont acctivated these two in your mind, and you never drew, i suggest to start with very simple kid art books, like connecting dotts and colouring the figures, that acctivates alot of excitement and art curiosity in your mind 🤩💯
me: draws a line
me: that was pretty crazy lets take a 3 hour break
while peter over here is having an artistic stroke, making a masterpiece in literally 10 minutes
(joke aside, tysm for making these videos with such skillful artists- i've learned so much from this and it really inspired me to just fill up my sketchbook with random crap)
The key skill needed in art is problem solving 1:52, every artist has his own paths to create a beautiful art piece. The more you observe and practice the better you will be.
Incredible video, so inspiring! I know of Peter Han but haven’t ever heard him speak in depth like this before. So much wisdom crammed into this, would love to take a class of his.
Just stumbled on this video and this guy has become my go to for background video while doing my admin work. Such a good speaker and great explanations as he goes.
Peter's the best!
