      I have a problem with color theory,like okay I understand it but....I can't seem to apply it in my art work.... please make a video about it... because most of the tutorials are like teaching you the color wheel without teaching you how to apply it.... And also how can I apply an expression from real life photos into my own style in art....yeahh btw thank you so much for this video!

    Fun tip: it really helps me to study expressions in musicals! Theatre actors have to over emphasize their facial reactions so everyone in the crowd can see them, so theyre really good reference for strong or over the top expressions :)

    fr the last part was the best example, you showed us how to make a character go from just them being there to the whole development of the scene. I study cinema in college and this just put me in a different kind of mindset when it comes to my OCs. Now I want to make them have a little improv session of action and reaction between my babes. Awesome video thank youu

    Syd Field, in his Screenplay: The Foundations of Screenwriting, said, "...Action is character and character, action..." he continues to say, "...the ---character must be active; they must cause things to happen, not let things happen to them. Its okay if they react to incidents or events some of the time, but if they are always reacting, they become passive, and weak..."

    I struggle so much with acting poses and photoshoot poses but I literally couldn't pinpoint the problem until I heard you refer to it like this! I only draw acting poses because I don't know how to put my characters personality into I cool but unrealistic pose (unrealistic pose as in no one would pose like that in real life naturally)

  • @gumisse

    Do you think you could make a video on foreshortening, and how to use it to make a more interesting composition in general rather than something generic and boring? This is something I’ve been struggling with for a while, and trying to find references can be frustrating. I love your “how to” videos, they’ve been incredibly helpful.

    9:00 At first I was thinking that "oh, so if they're looking at the camera/viewer, then it's a 'photoshoot' type image, and not an 'acting' one."
    But I think that you can have expressiveness and acting if the character is meant to be interacting with the viewer, like a POV shot. For example, if the character is having an argument with the viewer. Then the character would be looking directly at you, reacting to the hypothetical argument.
