Moved 4.5 thousand kilometers, started freelancing, Graduated highschool, graduated college, Working at an animation studio, got married, became supreme ruler of hyrule. That's everything I did since the last upload(last 2 aren't true), Glad to have you back, really glad you're alive and well!
THREE YEARS KOIZU, and I faithfully waited, every couple months I checked the latest comments wondering if you would ever come back. And to think I actually started to believe you got hit by a bus, welcome back dude Edit: god damn I meant 5 years, time flies(best birthday present ever)
I found you I think I found your channels 4 years ago when I was in the 9th grade now I graduated and here to see your back on youtube. Makes me happy.
Dude you’re my favourite art channel, I’ve just started watching you as one of ur older videos have appeared in my recommended. The tutorials are so well made and honestly inspire me to follow in your footsteps and hope to become an animator/ concept artist like you :D wherever you go in life I hope u know that me and many others will be supporting you fully. Welcome back man :)
OMG ITS BEEN SO LOOOONG!!!!!! I’m still subscribed to you! Welcome back and i hope you stay healthy! Your videos been inspiring me to keep drawing.. thank you!!!
Yo Koizu! First off thanks for coming back to the channel. Secondly, I'd greatly appreciate it if you could give any art portfolio tips in future videos, especially since you're now hired by the industry giant Blizzard! I see my art as comparable to yours about 3-5 years ago, with obligatory differences here and there. But I'd like to start taking the steps of making a studio job more of a reality, so any portfolio tips, or just tips in general, you have could be phenomenally helpful. Thanks!
AHHHHHHH, I’m so freaking out! I’ve always come back to your channel for inspiration or to come back to the basics! So glad to have you here to share your knowledge and I’m excited to learn!
YOOOOOOO I JUST FOUND YOUR VIDEOS LIKE A WEEK AGO. And I was really getting into them, and then subscribed. But later realized that you hadn't posted in years. (And then got sad) but now this! I'm glad I stayed subscribed.
YOU'RE ALIVE DUDE!!!!!!! OH MY GOD It's great to have you back, it's nice to here back from you and that you're doing good. Looking forward to the upcoming vids. ^______^
Where do I even begin to start? You've really helped improve my art a lot, and it really makes me happy to see you finally back again after 5 years. Great to hear you're doing well!
I have no words, I watched every single one of your videos back when I didn't even understand english. Seeing you back into youtube just made my day. Keep up the good work!
Oh my gosh I never expected this to happen but boy am I happy! When I was learning to draw you were one of my biggest influences and it still shows through in my work to this day! If you'd like you can even check it out on my instgram @drawsalotl I am so happy you are back! this year seems like it might actually be good now
I finished highschool and got a job within the 6 years I've first watched your video (how to draw a fighting scene) and let me tell you, it was a bumpy frikkin ride, man. Ty for being the first guy I toom serious inspiration from. You the man :)
I found your channel back in 2012, at the near beginning of my own path as an artist. I was a young middle schooler eager to get favorite anime characters at the time like Ichigo or Edward Elric so finding your channel was like a haven to exercise my art skills. Now i am a college freshman, hoping to one day pursue art careers like yours at blizzard ! I would love to know the ins and out of careers in the creative industry and how hopefuls like me can one day work at places like blizzard, disney, dreamwork, etc. Anyhoos it’s really cool to finally see you back man !! and i, like many others, can’t wait to see you in your next video !
oh my God iv'e waited for your return your the best when it comes to teaching i need to learn all there is to learn about BACKGROUNDS BACKGROUNDS BACKGROUNDS
Mike, I found your channel about a year and a half ago and it's really been helpful to me as a self taught artist. Glad you're back and that I'll be able to watch your videos in 'real time' now, lol
WELCOME BACK KOIZU!!! I've been waiting for your return and I really love your drawing, it gives me ideas on creating my own anime character. Anyways, glad to have you back in RUclips
I made the decision to take drawing seriously when I first watched one of your "fight scene" videos.That was in highschool. I'm 22 now and i work as an Entertainment Designer. I owe you my thanks for helping me choose this path. I'm glad you're back :) As for video ideas, other than drawing tips, maybe you could talk more about your journey to where you are now? What you did in your 'xiaolin drawing training' in the mountains. And maybe even the differences and challenges you've noticed drawing professionally compared to before working at Blizzard or in entertainment.
I'm so glad you're back! Your videos have been so helpful to me and I can't wait for more. I would really like to hear about what you've done at Blizzard, it would be helpful for those of us actually trying to break into the entertainment/art industry. It would be awesome to hear what you've learned, what projects you've worked on and any other things you can tell us about working there. Welcome back!
Hey dude, your old videos helpED me get into drawing! I was surprised to see no recent videos (cause your old ones are so sick), and now your back! WELLLLLLLLCOME BACK!!
OMFG !!! You're back ! I couldn't believe it when i got the notification. You and your videos were one of my biggest inspirations, the things that kept me going, so i want to say.... Thank you ! Welcome back !
This is insane! Literally just yesterday or the day before I remembered your channel from years back, I looked you up then subscribed only to see this after such a short time! So glad to see you back! An, personally I'd appreciate a drawing supplies vid, much thanks!
Every once in a while I would check in on your last video just to see if you returned. Glad to see ya back, or anywhere really. Even if it isn't video form, posting some art every now and then is just as good.
I started watching you when I was in 8th grade or a high school freshman and I'm a sophomore in college, but I loved your art so much. I waited and kept checking to see if you'd come back.
I learned to draw from you , cartoonblock and markcrilley during 2011-2013 , I am 17 now but the skill i got still impresses many art teacher i have met. So Thankkkkkk you soooooo much.(Im relieved you're alive.)
HOLY *BEEP* I was only 15 back at 2016 when I first started watching your tutorial in which helped me tremendously now I'm 17 almost 18 my art style/ drawing is very much improved if it weren't for your videos, tutorial, and etc. Hope you can help more young artist like you helped me back then and WELCOME BACK MAH MAN!!!
I wish I was here 5 years ago, I feel nostalgia even though I wasn't there haha. I'm honestly pretty amazed to have someone who's worked in the industry share these thoughts, much appreciated - I hope u make even more !!
Koizu!! Missed you, man. Congrats on the job. That's a big one. Your videos helped me a lot, years back, so I am looking forward to your revival. Thinking about getting Photoshop myself, too.
Man my luck must be insane. I literally found your channel about a week ago and watched so many videos. And then I saw the channel was inactive. And here you are a week later making a video. Awesome!!
Wow. I came across your channel about 5.5 years ago when I first started drawing hahaha. Glad to see you’re back and congrats on all the projects you’ve been a part of!
Honestly, I'm glad you're alive. You were one of the first people I found when I started drawing. It's been almost 6 years since but I'm still a noob so I'm going nowhere.
Let me just say, I found you after you were gone, and I watched every video you had. You were such a huge inspiration for me and I was waiting to see if you'd ever pop back up. I had taken a hiatus from art for a long time, but maybe this is a sign! Thank you for coming back.
Oh my god it’s been soooo long I’m shocked holy shit I’ve been searching for you for forever it was damn near a yearly tradition checking for your videos. Thank you for this video. You’ll always have my support.💯💯
