Mine was in midol school but my highschool teacher was fine to but my fave art teacher was before highschool and he even noticed I had talent before I figure out what I'd do with art
I’m still in year 8 but my art teacher never tells me what I should work on because wall she does is go over to other kids and tell them they’re doing great and it’s so good and all I can think is……..ALL THEYVE DONE IS A FREAKIN CIRCLE AND LINES WITH NO SHADING COULD YOU MAYBE VOME AND TELL ME HOW IM DOING
I truly wish I had an art teacher like that, most of the artists I had were mostly like 'okay we're sculpting clay today' or 'we're making prints today' but the one art teacher that I had, was my vocational teacher, who taught Commercial art. We called him Mr. B, so I'll use it here. He taught me the fundementals, told me about how I could use paypal to pay for my work(Which later got hacked but we don't talk about that) and kind of encouraged me in a way to actually take art seriously, and treat it like a trusted business partner and not just a playground best friend, if you catch my drift.
I had a Science Teacher that always wanted to study art, he told me on the day of graduation “Get that Art degree for the both of us - be the person that I never had to guts to become.”
I saw Mr. Hudson yesterday and showed him the video. He watched it quietly, not saying a word. At the end he sighed and shed a couple of tears. Then he stated how relieved he was that you had fond memories. He also was shocked you still had that note. He said he is Very Proud of your success. Oh, and the vending machine, it was always jamming taking people’s money. It had it coming.
God this video was so sweet it nearly made me cry, Mr. Hudson is a blessing of a man, reminds me of my spanish teacher, who, ironically enough, was known by the kids, as one of the worst teachers in the school, he was known for yelling, being grumpy and being strict, though looking back on it, this was probably because foreign languages were compulsary in my school, and most of the kids who didn't want to do languages ended up choosing spanish together so they could mess around in class, and somehow in increasingly obnoxious ways, yet, when said kids would suddenly all get "sick", you could really tell he cared for the class now that he wasn't having to spend most of his time telling them off, if it wasn't for him I probably would've given up on Spanish as I had always wanted to speak it, but was stuck with learning French instead (which is just, not a fun language imo) until we got to choose our options, meaning while everyone else had already been doing Spanish for 3 years, I was just starting, and the degree to which I was falling behind at first, really got to me, I thought I was awful and that me doing Spanish was pointless, and yet, one day when we were packing up for lunch, he just said something that, really impacted me "If I had a class of clones of you, teaching could be like a dream", and that really stuck with me, it motivated me to push further, and it was just moments like this, that pushed me to do as well as I did, I will always appreciate what he did for me, until the day that I die.
That ending literally brought me to tears. Having a teacher like that can really make or break a person's dreams. Knowing how much he cared is honestly the most wholesome and genuine thing a teacher can ever do.
@@clipsyoudontwatch You see, by trying to be the most right you've ended up saying something wrong. The ACTUAL video (That includes the story and characterization) is 8 minutes and 24 seconds long, the rest is sponsorship stuff. The runtime is even shorter if you what to cut out the brief skit at the beginning
“You give up on yourself far to easily, Art has a dumb teenage phase. It doesn’t look how you want it to look now because it’s not finished” made me fr tear up. We all need a Mr. Hudson in our life 😭❤
* even if it wasn’t directed at me, hearing Mr.Hudson say “You give up on yourself far to easily, Art has a dumb teenage phase. It doesn’t look how you want it to look now because it’s not finished” encouraged me to keep going with art, and that I WILL get better. I just need to keep going
He's so right. I started doing digital art and art truly does have a phase where you look at it and it looks awful because it's not done yet and doesn't have enough good stuff going for it yet for you to say oh okay yeah this is progress. Good to keep in mind.
Having erased plenty of my own writing before anyone could see it I really felt it when you painted over your art. I appreciate your videos going into things like this.
This is the kind of teacher that is actually qualified to be a teacher All my teachers are nice people, but with one of them if you ask her a question about her subject, she'll say "good question" or "I'll google it later" and then drop it
this is literally what teachers are meant to do, they're meant to be mentors and relate on a personal level. But the corporate world hates that so they just pack us into classrooms and keep everything strict and sterile and I hate it. Humanity wasn't meant to live like this.
@@TheGamingDuck3 @PeachyPearls🦋 education being for everyone is bad now? Kids, you have to realize that education was (and still is in many places) a privilege. I know that school is hard, but free access to education is a great achievement of humanity. Please don't take it for granted.

Didn't think I would be tearing up at his note at the end. Teachers like that are super important and are literally the best 👌🏾
Glad to hear you had an art teacher like that. My freshman year in high school i had a gruff older guy on the brink of retirement as an art teacher. He would scold you if you talked in class (he even called me and my friend's parents to let them know we were talking to much!) and immediately i thought "I'm going to hate this class. Art is supposed to be fun, right?". Turned out he was very skilled, gave legitimate critiques, encouraged everyone to try new things and push their skills. Honestly, getting an A+ from him on a hand sketched portrait i did was probably the most meaningful grade i'd ever received. I STILL have that portrait today in my box of paint supplies, it's 20 years old at least. My classmates did not like this teacher but he was EXACTLY what i was looking for in teacher. He had rules, expectations, he wanted you to succeed, he'd actually discuss technique and how to develop it. it was the most rewarding year of art I took, because he retired and was replaced by two other teachers that 100% didn't care what was happening and gave no meaningful input whatsoever, everyone else loved them and the easy A's, but i was not happy and butted heads with them through the next 3 years. i expected silly things like "commercial art" to you know, have even a small amount of information about making art commercially. Nope, just a sketch pad with random assignments like "draw a butterfly" that everyone got an A in. Anyway, that's my really long way of saying Mr. Hudson sounds like he was the GOAT of art teachers. I'm thankful for people like him that are so rare, i'm sure he's fantastically proud!
Art teachers are somehow the most chill people ever, and they can make a huge difference. It's great to hear that other people have had experiences like this.
My middle school art teacher was the best. He was very chill lol. I learned a lot from him, he always encouraged my ideas, and always exaggerating his reactions to me drawing dogs "another dog?" 😂❤️
I love art teachers, every art teacher I had was amazing to me, and the last year of my middle school era ended with my own Mr Hudson, mrs j. She was incredible, she cared about us deeply and even though she barely knew me the one morning something traumatic happened to me, she sat down with me and talked pausing the whole class just to be sure I was okay. She even donated t he art we didn’t want to the elderly home next door! Art teachers will always be amazing people most of the time, and I hope everyone gets a Mr Hudson one day
Hudson is amazing. He made me feel something and he didn't even directly tell me it, Hudson deserves so much. The exact definition of a teacher actually inspiring his students. He has such a beautiful personality.
I had a teacher like that in high school. It makes such a big difference to have a teacher at that age that treats you like a person. Like an equal. I would not be where I am today if I didn't have that influence in my life
Late to this one, but to Mr. Gilmore, my 6'5 Social Studies teacher who was also Air Cadet Commander and a Volunteer Firefighter in our tiny town: you may have intimidated the teens, but its because of you that I got my degree in Sociology. Thank you for making me passionate about how societies work, how fun it could be to write papers, and for encouraging me throughout the year.
“Art has a dumb teenage phase. It doesn’t look the way you want because it’s not finished. You can’t give up halfway through.” I don’t know why but i really like that quote
It gets me every time. It's a quote that can be used for everything, from art to real life. To me, it sounds like something I'd say to my teenage self when I was attempting su1cide . You can't give up when the piece not finished yet!
This teacher never forgot what it was like to be a teen or kid. And I bet everyone had major respect for him. This guy is amazing Edit: Woah thanks for the likes!
Mr. Hudson sounds like he was and or is a nice person. Having teachers like that who help you become who you are now, and guide you through certain points in your life is a special thing. I teared up at the end when the sketchbook and note came up. Wherever he is now, I hope he's doing well. Thank you for sharing!
Its a special feeling to have an adult show actual care and concern about you and try to help guide you in life. I don't know how it is in other countries but here in the US that doesn't happen often and when it does some folks react negatively, thinking the teacher has bad intentions. It's a strange feeling though, going to school, feeling like a kid and having an adult actually speak to you like you're an adult. Talking to you one on one, giving you life advice or just teaching you how to be a little miscreant. I totally would have nabbed from the vending machines because I've done that myself. Snacks and drinks. But yeah, having an adult speak to you like an adult, treating you like a mature person, that was something rare and special to me. I'm an adult now and I miss having someone speak that way towards me. Most adults I know are like me, grown up kids who are still trying to find a place in the world because of how chaotic everything is.
I'm not crying over the message he left you, that's just something in my eyes... This was so heart warming video and Connor did a good thing voicing Mr. Hudson. Love the video. Great message, great work ^^
I had a teacher similar to Mr Hudson called Mr. B, he was the 7th grade world history teacher and he was not afraid to humiliate people for not paying attention, tease some of his favorite students, or make vulgar/witty jokes while teaching. But he was also one of the most caring teachers I had that year. At the time I was struggling with a lot of personal and mental health problems and I’d almost always come back from lunch to his classroom crying. And during these very low points, after class, he’d check in on me. Sometimes he’d even take me to the school consoler so I could get some help. One time, he even took time out of his day to tutor me on some projects I was struggling and stressing over. Honestly, Mr. B helped me out so much during 7th grade and he’s probably one of my favorite teachers I’ve ever had.
as a student who values student/teacher relationships a lot, that note he left almost made me tear up. it was so sweet and he didn’t have to do it, teachers like mr. hudson are the best, truly.
One big thing I learned in high school art is something I had to teach myself, trust the process. When I made my art (I painted with acrylic paint & watercolors) I’ll already have the completed version in my head, and whenever the painting didn’t look like it immediately I was quick to start over. Whenever we were assigned to make something specific I would occasionally ask the teacher “Is this good so far?” To double check my work, to which she would mostly respond “Yes you’re doing very well” This routine helped me in trusting my gut more, and I became more confident about my work. Moral of the story, trust your instincts. Remember the completed version is in your head, all you need to do is relax & trust yourself and your art will become real.
Now I'm crying. I know I will never have a teacher as good as him. He is the definition of a good teacher, helping and inspiring students. He helped you embrace your art, not change it to fit HIS standards.
Lmao the final statement reminded me of my History teacher and Language teacher, they would just shove work on us and then explain what to do once in words that (I'm not kidding) the entire class didn't understand and we just winged it
Now then I realised 2/3rds of the teachers in the Art Department of my school actually prefers students to fit their standards of art when you mentioned it (otherwise they'll not respond pleasently to your presence-)
@@thisisnotacreativename1741 My english teacher was similar, we learn english as a second language and she would just read whats on the textbook and made it kinda mundane
Legit almost cried at the end. I swear to god there's nothing better then having an art teacher who shows genuine care and support for you and your work.
Okay, besides being a really understanding dude, the fact that he hustled the hell out of the vending machine makes me wish I got to meet in in real life.
0:30 , wow , l love the toh reference, I didn’t get into “the owl house” till about a year ago so looking back on some of these older videos of yours and seeing these references makes my day ❤ I also love the fact that raine is the teacher
One of the coolest professors I had in college was a stoic man who didnt even teach what was on the prospectus. He just always talked and entertained us with his stories, life experiences and how they applied practically to our vocation as art students. I'll never forget it. It made being an artist fun. He's retired now and lives a quiet life. One of the most truly beloved educators from where I came from. It was a good time to learn and be interested in art. Thank you sir Paul
Ngl, almost cried. Not sure why, maybe the sweet ending, maybe I'm just overtired. I had a great teacher in my 6th year of schooling, she really helped build up my confidence, and for that I am beyond grateful. Thank you, Miss B.
People like Mr. Hudson are the best. The kind who are no nonsense in the way that makes them accidentally intimidating from afar, but caring mentors and guides when you do get to know them. I've been lucky enough to have few teachers like him who have helped with all sorts of self confidence issues, getting me to the best path I can be on right now.
This almost made me cry, I love teachers that take their job seriously and don’t get mad at their students. Encouragement and good criticism is enough to make a self conscious, anxious, and doubtful person into someone who’s a little more confident in themselves or less anxious or more hopeful. That is something incredible.
I had my own Hudson, called Marko. He was my art teacher when I was 12-14/15. He was great, funny and most of all honest. He’d actually help you but also wasn’t afraid of having fun and being vulgar. One day I was the last one left in the classroom to work overtime on one of my projects, it was just him and me there. It was only a couple days away from his retirement, once I was done I left and said goodbye to him. Unfortunately he died later that day from a heart attack, just 5 days from retirement
"Art has a teenage faze, you have to finish it" hit hard rn. I'm working on coloring something for a contest and it started coming together while I listened this video! ❤
So I think I can explain why Mr. Hudson didn't tell anyone about what was going on wuth you. Sometimes people are being abused at home, and bringing it up with other teachers and parents can make a situation worse. The only time a teacher HAS TO inform a parent or other staff of a student and teacher interaction is when the stufent wants to self harm or harming others. It's honestly more helpful to talk to the student first than to go directly to staf or to the parents, and then if the student would like to, then get parents and staff involved. It's all about consent, and he can't force his way in. I respect that.
I don't at all want to take away from the impact this teacher had nor am I disagreeing with you that sometimes getting more people involved is anti-helpful, but (at least in the US), teachers are "mandatory reporters" of abuse. They do not have an option - they can't choose to keep quiet - they MUST report any sign of abuse. If they don't, they can lose their teaching certificate and get arrested. I don't think anything Illy said here would put Mr. Hudson into the realm of having to report, but it's not true that "the only time a teacher has to inform... self harm or harming others..." so I just wanted to clarify that...
thank you illy,i its not the first time i saw this vid but right now i'm really insecure about my self and the way you bring up mr.hundson really took place in my heart i may not know him but throu you i had little bit of hope from mr.hundson sentence ,once again thank you ❤
I'm actually crying. That was such a touching story. I think it's getting me so hard bc I finally got an amazing art teacher when I went into university/college, and he's helped me so much, I don't know what I would have done without him.
God, I wish we had teachers like Mr. "Hudson", whenever you would tell a teacher your problem they would just tell someone else to push the responsibility to them. The fact that Mr. Hudson left a note in the sketchbook really hit me. Keep on making good things, good luck on reaching 2 Million.
I got emotional at that note at the end 🥺 this reminds me of what a difference my high school art teachers made for me! It’s a crime that the arts aren’t better funded in school
The note made me cry- legit, I love art and have been doing it for ages but I’ve never had a actually good art teacher (I have a scar on my arm because of one-) so just seeing that there is art teachers out there who are this kind is amazing
@@hellodarkness7305 it’s kinda a long story- but basically in like 2nd grade I was in art class, some kid took my paper that I was drawing on, I went to go grab it back but because the art teacher didn’t get her tables fixed I cut my arm on the table edge- so I started crying cause it was bleeding a lot and it hurt obvi, and instead of ya know- helping me- she called me a crybaby and forced me to sit in the corner of the room with a bleeding arm for the rest of the time- mind you we were in that class for two hours and it happened like 30 minutes into class- so because it wasn’t taken care of for a long while it ended up scaring- now because of how the cut shaped and everything, it looks like I have a bite scar- zombie has always been my favorite Halloween costume since then lmao
@@moons_fire1013 that's awful! And I thought I was the only one with a teacher like that! Although my cut wasn't that bad. In hs art we had to use xacto knives and when I opened mine I accidentally cut myself on my hand. I asked my teacher if he had a bandaid or something he said no and instead of suggesting i go to the nurse asked me how on earth did I cut myself. Like only the dumbest person could make that possible. I've been too nervous to use xacto knives since then nor did I talk to that teacher for the rest of the year.
I'm considering being a teacher. I really want to be someone's Mr. Hudson one day, I hope he knows what impact he's had on his students. Imagine how proud he must be to see how far you've come since his class, since you almost gave up. So, this is probably my favorite video of yours.
Mr Hudson giving that sketchbook is such a familiar experience for me, my art/Japanese teacher really supported me and often helped me, he ended up giving me a MASSSIVE artbook, like A3 size and it felt so fun drawing freely on something so big.
I wish I had a father like him. Even though she painted over that project, he didn’t get mad. Instead, he reassured her to keep trying. I personally would’ve loved to be in that class.😊
I wished I had a teacher like that. I can even imagine how much it would have helped with my Autism. Having someone that actually explains to you what you did wrong and do not get mad at his students. And also yes when you started to explain who Hudson was. I totally made the link with Cars. Great usage of a character.
I had two teachers like this. Both in literacy classes (the equivalent of english classes for english speaking countries where I'm from). Both motivated me and they helped me through tough times. I'm so glad they existed and I would love to talk to them again
Everyone has that one teacher that helped shape them into the person they are today. For me, that was my choir director. He was a lot like Mr. Hudson and I’ll forever be grateful for everything he taught me ❤️ love your stuff Illy! You’re awesome!
It's so true, for me it was my french teacher, I dropped french but when he was my teacher it was really fun. I hope everyone has a mentor teacher that they can look up to♥
@@Emma-eu6vh for me it was my Primary 4-6 math teacher, he chill and made me better at math than i was in primary 1-3, but now i have a -stressed looking- math teacher but atleast okay
"Okay, I was just nervous and I wanted to make sure you were alright." Damn, that got me. It's always touching when a teacher feels fear (for a lack of a better term) and concern for a student's well-being. When I was in my first medical school, I came very close to dropping out of the program in my first year. I was depressed, I had several make-up tests to do (because the psychiatrist told me to not go to school for 2 weeks - especially since I had beaten myself while at school - and those two weeks happened to be the exam period), and my medications were affecting me so badly that I couldn't concentrate during the lectures or when I was studying for those make up exams. I already got the form for dropping the different classes from the dean's office and was about to go and have them signed by the head of each department when I decided to stop by the pathology faculty room to see a prof who taught in both the medical school and the pre-med program I attended. I looked up to him a great deal and valued his opinions, so I wanted to tell him what was going on. That, and because I saw that he left an envelope full of papers just sitting on the windshield of his car and I wasn't about to pick it up myself (since that would be suspicious to an onlooker). My mom, who was with me, and I told that professor what was going on. I was going to drop out of med school. Lots of stuff was going on. My mental health was in tatters (not from the academic workload but from the sudden return of my unresolved emotional issues). My meds were affecting me. There's also some major shit going on between my family and my extended family and it's spilling into my life and studies. I doubted that I would pass my courses for the first year with all that, so I might as well drop out. (Taking a leave of absence would've been a more appropriate course of action, but the medical school doesn't grant that for first year students) As the three of us talked about the consequences that would follow that decision, I noticed that the professor started sniffling and looking away from time to time. The one time I looked at his eyes during the conversation, I noticed that his eyes were red. That surprised me. Was he getting upset and emotional over this? It was so strange. I knew the prof as this pretty chill guy who doesn't let most things affect him, but here he was, getting affected by the decision of a single student to quit med school. I was weirded out, but at the same time, I was touched because the professor cared enough for one student to almost cry at the prospect of seeing them go. I wasn't even a high-achieving student. I was a mediocre to average student but he gave enough of a damn about me anyway. (He'd tell me a year later that he sees something in me and that he hopes somebody can bring that something out of me. If not him, then he hopes it's somebody like him. Idk if he really meant it or if it's just something he just says to his students, but it was nice to hear all the same) I decided not to drop out of the program and just finish the school year. It wasn't because of the fact that I realized a professor gave a damn about me, but because learning that most medical schools would not accept a transferee or a student who's dropped out meant that I would not be able to achieve my dream of becoming a doctor. I just wanted a break, not close all the doors to med school. I ended up failing out of the program in my second year anyway. I foolishly decided to enroll for the next school year even though I hardly recovered from the emotional shit storm I was in. I thought I could handle it. I was wrong. Bad mental health + compulsive behavior + playing counselor to a troubled cousin + med school is not a good combo. [The universe decided to give me a second chance, btw, and I'm attending a new med school. It's not as prestigious as the one I failed out of, but the teachers are good and their graduates do get good opportunities too. There's even a professor who has the exact same background as me, so I know now that not all hope is lost for me.]
Thanks for putting this out there. I am in high school now but want to go into med school. I also struggle with some mental health issues, so thanks for letting me know that it's possible. Hope you have the most success.
@@asherdoug9526 I suggest taking time to sort out the worst of your mental health issues. Med school is intense and if your mental health is in tatters, you won't learn much. Take care of yourself first before taking care of others.
I had a teacher like this, and I still talk to him. He wasn't an art teacher, though. I've been legally blind since birth, and Indiana public schools aren't great with people like me. He'd come in a few times a week to help me with visual aides and things that would make school easier for someone like me. He's basically the only reason I survived public school, and I seriously cried when he retired. I saw him, and still do, as a friend more than a teacher.
I’m tired and you probably won’t see this and i’ll regret typing this in the morning but i think you have some of the best storytelling skills in this genre of youtube. The way you can make me feel emotion in almost any video put up surpasses everyone else in the animation space. I don’t want this to be comparative, but I truly believe you are an incredible story writer and teller and i hope you have a very good day.
This is such a inspiring art teacher, I wish I had him Illy. On how he gave you that sketchbook with the note, it just teared me up. * Perhaps you can create a character based on me one day. No matter how bizarre it is, I will not be offended. Good luck forever* such inspiring words
My 10th grade art teacher was similar to Mr. Hudson. He would give great art advice and life advice. Though all of the art teachers at my school are really chill and friendly he will always have a special spot in my memories.
0:29 it’s an Owl House reference!! I love it! I love it so much! Look you got Raine as the teacher, Luz and Amity sitting at the front, Willow and Gun behind and they’re all looking super adorable and it’s just- *chef’s kiss* magnificent! Oh and great video
I have a similar experience with my photography teacher. She saved my life and I wouldn't be where I am without her. Now I'm teaching a class of my own. To whoever is a teacher, treat your students with as much respect as possible, you could change their life one day.
"Art has a dumb teenage face, it doesn't look right because it's not finished" some of the wisest words ever said because it works as a perfect metaphor for not just how illy saw herself but how alot of teenagers do (and maybe alot of other groups of humanity if we're really reaching.)
I actually had a teacher like Mr. Hudson but he wasn’t an art teacher and he was my elementary second grade teacher. He looked very serious and kept to himself and talk much but once he got to know him he was actually pretty nice guy and every day since I’m still in elementary I waved at him whenever and he gives me a smile wave back 2:22

I truly wish I had an art teacher like that, most of the artists I had were mostly like 'okay we're sculpting clay today' or 'we're making prints today' but the one art teacher that I had, was my vocational teacher, who taught Commercial art. We called him Mr. B, so I'll use it here. He taught me the fundementals, told me about how I could use paypal to pay for my work(Which later got hacked but we don't talk about that) and kind of encouraged me in a way to actually take art seriously, and treat it like a trusted business partner and not just a playground best friend, if you catch my drift.

God this video was so sweet it nearly made me cry, Mr. Hudson is a blessing of a man, reminds me of my spanish teacher, who, ironically enough, was known by the kids, as one of the worst teachers in the school, he was known for yelling, being grumpy and being strict, though looking back on it, this was probably because foreign languages were compulsary in my school, and most of the kids who didn't want to do languages ended up choosing spanish together so they could mess around in class, and somehow in increasingly obnoxious ways, yet, when said kids would suddenly all get "sick", you could really tell he cared for the class now that he wasn't having to spend most of his time telling them off, if it wasn't for him I probably would've given up on Spanish as I had always wanted to speak it, but was stuck with learning French instead (which is just, not a fun language imo) until we got to choose our options, meaning while everyone else had already been doing Spanish for 3 years, I was just starting, and the degree to which I was falling behind at first, really got to me, I thought I was awful and that me doing Spanish was pointless, and yet, one day when we were packing up for lunch, he just said something that, really impacted me "If I had a class of clones of you, teaching could be like a dream", and that really stuck with me, it motivated me to push further, and it was just moments like this, that pushed me to do as well as I did, I will always appreciate what he did for me, until the day that I die.
This is literally the most wholesome teacher out there, everyone needs a Mr. Hudson in their lives
Dude not even kidding my art teachers name is MISS HUDSON WHAT

I agree
That ending literally brought me to tears. Having a teacher like that can really make or break a person's dreams. Knowing how much he cared is honestly the most wholesome and genuine thing a teacher can ever do.

Didn't think I would be tearing up at his note at the end. Teachers like that are super important and are literally the best 👌🏾
Most of the time.
I ALSO CIED
Glad to hear you had an art teacher like that. My freshman year in high school i had a gruff older guy on the brink of retirement as an art teacher. He would scold you if you talked in class (he even called me and my friend's parents to let them know we were talking to much!) and immediately i thought "I'm going to hate this class. Art is supposed to be fun, right?". Turned out he was very skilled, gave legitimate critiques, encouraged everyone to try new things and push their skills. Honestly, getting an A+ from him on a hand sketched portrait i did was probably the most meaningful grade i'd ever received. I STILL have that portrait today in my box of paint supplies, it's 20 years old at least. My classmates did not like this teacher but he was EXACTLY what i was looking for in teacher. He had rules, expectations, he wanted you to succeed, he'd actually discuss technique and how to develop it. it was the most rewarding year of art I took, because he retired and was replaced by two other teachers that 100% didn't care what was happening and gave no meaningful input whatsoever, everyone else loved them and the easy A's, but i was not happy and butted heads with them through the next 3 years. i expected silly things like "commercial art" to you know, have even a small amount of information about making art commercially. Nope, just a sketch pad with random assignments like "draw a butterfly" that everyone got an A in. Anyway, that's my really long way of saying Mr. Hudson sounds like he was the GOAT of art teachers. I'm thankful for people like him that are so rare, i'm sure he's fantastically proud!
Art teachers are somehow the most chill people ever, and they can make a huge difference. It's great to hear that other people have had experiences like this.
Not mine
Mine was an 86 year old woman who should have retired 2 decades ago
Honestly it’s either they’re chill or they’re intense as hell
My middle school art teacher was the best. He was very chill lol. I learned a lot from him, he always encouraged my ideas, and always exaggerating his reactions to me drawing dogs "another dog?" 😂❤️
mine is a convination with ''fuck you'' and ''thats a very good work, keep going''
Wow I also cried. As an artsy eating disordered North Carolinian ex-teenager: thank you, Mr. Hudson.
im also in fact an artsy north carolinian
That sketchbook thing made me tear up. He truly cared about teaching art and his students, what a rare find
Same, it was so touching ❤
I love art teachers, every art teacher I had was amazing to me, and the last year of my middle school era ended with my own Mr Hudson, mrs j. She was incredible, she cared about us deeply and even though she barely knew me the one morning something traumatic happened to me, she sat down with me and talked pausing the whole class just to be sure I was okay. She even donated t he art we didn’t want to the elderly home next door! Art teachers will always be amazing people most of the time, and I hope everyone gets a Mr Hudson one day
Hudson is amazing. He made me feel something and he didn't even directly tell me it, Hudson deserves so much. The exact definition of a teacher actually inspiring his students. He has such a beautiful personality.
You were a student for him?

I had a teacher like that in high school. It makes such a big difference to have a teacher at that age that treats you like a person. Like an equal. I would not be where I am today if I didn't have that influence in my life
Late to this one, but to Mr. Gilmore, my 6'5 Social Studies teacher who was also Air Cadet Commander and a Volunteer Firefighter in our tiny town: you may have intimidated the teens, but its because of you that I got my degree in Sociology. Thank you for making me passionate about how societies work, how fun it could be to write papers, and for encouraging me throughout the year.
I actually almost teared up at seeing that note. He sounds like a splendid person, and hope you still keep in contact with him sometimes!
I did tear up
“Art has a dumb teenage phase. It doesn’t look the way you want because it’s not finished. You can’t give up halfway through.” I don’t know why but i really like that quote
same.
cuz he's right work on your art till you feel like adding anything else would feel superfluous
Me too love it.
same. Putting it on my phone wallpaper ❤
It gets me every time. It's a quote that can be used for everything, from art to real life. To me, it sounds like something I'd say to my teenage self when I was attempting su1cide . You can't give up when the piece not finished yet!
This teacher never forgot what it was like to be a teen or kid.
And I bet everyone had major respect for him.
This guy is amazing
Edit: Woah thanks for the likes!
I love the owl house reference, with Luz, Amity, Willow, Gus and Raine! As a big owl house fan this is really cool!

Mr. Hudson sounds like he was and or is a nice person. Having teachers like that who help you become who you are now, and guide you through certain points in your life is a special thing. I teared up at the end when the sketchbook and note came up. Wherever he is now, I hope he's doing well. Thank you for sharing!
Its a special feeling to have an adult show actual care and concern about you and try to help guide you in life. I don't know how it is in other countries but here in the US that doesn't happen often and when it does some folks react negatively, thinking the teacher has bad intentions. It's a strange feeling though, going to school, feeling like a kid and having an adult actually speak to you like you're an adult. Talking to you one on one, giving you life advice or just teaching you how to be a little miscreant.
I totally would have nabbed from the vending machines because I've done that myself. Snacks and drinks.
But yeah, having an adult speak to you like an adult, treating you like a mature person, that was something rare and special to me. I'm an adult now and I miss having someone speak that way towards me. Most adults I know are like me, grown up kids who are still trying to find a place in the world because of how chaotic everything is.

I'm not crying over the message he left you, that's just something in my eyes... This was so heart warming video and Connor did a good thing voicing Mr. Hudson. Love the video. Great message, great work ^^
I had a teacher similar to Mr Hudson called Mr. B, he was the 7th grade world history teacher and he was not afraid to humiliate people for not paying attention, tease some of his favorite students, or make vulgar/witty jokes while teaching. But he was also one of the most caring teachers I had that year. At the time I was struggling with a lot of personal and mental health problems and I’d almost always come back from lunch to his classroom crying. And during these very low points, after class, he’d check in on me. Sometimes he’d even take me to the school consoler so I could get some help. One time, he even took time out of his day to tutor me on some projects I was struggling and stressing over. Honestly, Mr. B helped me out so much during 7th grade and he’s probably one of my favorite teachers I’ve ever had.
"Why didn't you get more?"

Rule of thumb: Every time Illy uploads a video, everybody points out anime references.
Does the caterpie count as an anime reference?
@@birdbot7418 IDK.
@@birdbot7418 yes.
just references in general
Yeah! I straight up squealed when I saw an owl house reference (I know toh is not anime but still)
as a student who values student/teacher relationships a lot, that note he left almost made me tear up. it was so sweet and he didn’t have to do it, teachers like mr. hudson are the best, truly.
One big thing I learned in high school art is something I had to teach myself, trust the process. When I made my art (I painted with acrylic paint & watercolors) I’ll already have the completed version in my head, and whenever the painting didn’t look like it immediately I was quick to start over.
Whenever we were assigned to make something specific I would occasionally ask the teacher “Is this good so far?” To double check my work, to which she would mostly respond “Yes you’re doing very well” This routine helped me in trusting my gut more, and I became more confident about my work.
Moral of the story, trust your instincts. Remember the completed version is in your head, all you need to do is relax & trust yourself and your art will become real.
Now I'm crying. I know I will never have a teacher as good as him. He is the definition of a good teacher, helping and inspiring students. He helped you embrace your art, not change it to fit HIS standards.
Lmao the final statement reminded me of my History teacher and Language teacher, they would just shove work on us and then explain what to do once in words that (I'm not kidding) the entire class didn't understand and we just winged it
Now then I realised 2/3rds of the teachers in the Art Department of my school actually prefers students to fit their standards of art when you mentioned it (otherwise they'll not respond pleasently to your presence-)
Hope you will one day❤
@@thisisnotacreativename1741 My english teacher was similar, we learn english as a second language and she would just read whats on the textbook and made it kinda mundane

One of the coolest professors I had in college was a stoic man who didnt even teach what was on the prospectus. He just always talked and entertained us with his stories, life experiences and how they applied practically to our vocation as art students. I'll never forget it. It made being an artist fun. He's retired now and lives a quiet life. One of the most truly beloved educators from where I came from. It was a good time to learn and be interested in art. Thank you sir Paul

Mr. “Hudson” sounds like a great teacher, you’re very lucky to have had him.
People like Mr. Hudson are the best. The kind who are no nonsense in the way that makes them accidentally intimidating from afar, but caring mentors and guides when you do get to know them. I've been lucky enough to have few teachers like him who have helped with all sorts of self confidence issues, getting me to the best path I can be on right now.
This almost made me cry, I love teachers that take their job seriously and don’t get mad at their students. Encouragement and good criticism is enough to make a self conscious, anxious, and doubtful person into someone who’s a little more confident in themselves or less anxious or more hopeful. That is something incredible.

I had my own Hudson, called Marko.
He was my art teacher when I was 12-14/15.
He was great, funny and most of all honest.
He’d actually help you but also wasn’t afraid of having fun and being vulgar.
One day I was the last one left in the classroom to work overtime on one of my projects, it was just him and me there. It was only a couple days away from his retirement, once I was done I left and said goodbye to him.
Unfortunately he died later that day from a heart attack, just 5 days from retirement
Why did he have a heart attack? How old was he? Did he have medical conditions?
@@bottle3124 i think he was around 67 probably, he had his heart attack on his bike on his way home, no clue about his medical history

"Art has a teenage faze, you have to finish it" hit hard rn. I'm working on coloring something for a contest and it started coming together while I listened this video! ❤
Hope it went well!
So I think I can explain why Mr. Hudson didn't tell anyone about what was going on wuth you. Sometimes people are being abused at home, and bringing it up with other teachers and parents can make a situation worse. The only time a teacher HAS TO inform a parent or other staff of a student and teacher interaction is when the stufent wants to self harm or harming others. It's honestly more helpful to talk to the student first than to go directly to staf or to the parents, and then if the student would like to, then get parents and staff involved. It's all about consent, and he can't force his way in. I respect that.
I don't at all want to take away from the impact this teacher had nor am I disagreeing with you that sometimes getting more people involved is anti-helpful, but (at least in the US), teachers are "mandatory reporters" of abuse. They do not have an option - they can't choose to keep quiet - they MUST report any sign of abuse. If they don't, they can lose their teaching certificate and get arrested. I don't think anything Illy said here would put Mr. Hudson into the realm of having to report, but it's not true that "the only time a teacher has to inform... self harm or harming others..." so I just wanted to clarify that...
Me the entire time: “Mr Hudson sounds so much like Connor.”

I’m not crying because this is one of the most kind human beings I’ve ever seen, you are.
God, I wish we had teachers like Mr. "Hudson", whenever you would tell a teacher your problem they would just tell someone else to push the responsibility to them.
The fact that Mr. Hudson left a note in the sketchbook really hit me. Keep on making good things, good luck on reaching 2 Million.
I got emotional at that note at the end 🥺 this reminds me of what a difference my high school art teachers made for me! It’s a crime that the arts aren’t better funded in school
The note made me cry- legit, I love art and have been doing it for ages but I’ve never had a actually good art teacher (I have a scar on my arm because of one-) so just seeing that there is art teachers out there who are this kind is amazing
Why do u have the scar(u don't have to answer btw)
@@hellodarkness7305 it’s kinda a long story- but basically in like 2nd grade I was in art class, some kid took my paper that I was drawing on, I went to go grab it back but because the art teacher didn’t get her tables fixed I cut my arm on the table edge- so I started crying cause it was bleeding a lot and it hurt obvi, and instead of ya know- helping me- she called me a crybaby and forced me to sit in the corner of the room with a bleeding arm for the rest of the time- mind you we were in that class for two hours and it happened like 30 minutes into class- so because it wasn’t taken care of for a long while it ended up scaring- now because of how the cut shaped and everything, it looks like I have a bite scar- zombie has always been my favorite Halloween costume since then lmao
@@moons_fire1013 Dang! That sucks!
@@moons_fire1013 Hope ur okay now
@@moons_fire1013 that's awful! And I thought I was the only one with a teacher like that! Although my cut wasn't that bad.
In hs art we had to use xacto knives and when I opened mine I accidentally cut myself on my hand. I asked my teacher if he had a bandaid or something he said no and instead of suggesting i go to the nurse asked me how on earth did I cut myself. Like only the dumbest person could make that possible. I've been too nervous to use xacto knives since then nor did I talk to that teacher for the rest of the year.
I'm considering being a teacher. I really want to be someone's Mr. Hudson one day, I hope he knows what impact he's had on his students. Imagine how proud he must be to see how far you've come since his class, since you almost gave up.
So, this is probably my favorite video of yours.
Good for you👍
Mr Hudson giving that sketchbook is such a familiar experience for me, my art/Japanese teacher really supported me and often helped me, he ended up giving me a MASSSIVE artbook, like A3 size and it felt so fun drawing freely on something so big.
Mr. Hudson is probably the best art teacher I have even heard of. I love your videos Illy and how you are doing better
Mr. Hudson reminds me of the dad from Luca. Seems like a big scary dude, but actually has a big heart

holy mata nui I did not expect to cry either, especially before going to work today. This really was a great story/video
"Okay, I was just nervous and I wanted to make sure you were alright."
Damn, that got me. It's always touching when a teacher feels fear (for a lack of a better term) and concern for a student's well-being.
When I was in my first medical school, I came very close to dropping out of the program in my first year. I was depressed, I had several make-up tests to do (because the psychiatrist told me to not go to school for 2 weeks - especially since I had beaten myself while at school - and those two weeks happened to be the exam period), and my medications were affecting me so badly that I couldn't concentrate during the lectures or when I was studying for those make up exams. I already got the form for dropping the different classes from the dean's office and was about to go and have them signed by the head of each department when I decided to stop by the pathology faculty room to see a prof who taught in both the medical school and the pre-med program I attended. I looked up to him a great deal and valued his opinions, so I wanted to tell him what was going on. That, and because I saw that he left an envelope full of papers just sitting on the windshield of his car and I wasn't about to pick it up myself (since that would be suspicious to an onlooker).
My mom, who was with me, and I told that professor what was going on. I was going to drop out of med school. Lots of stuff was going on. My mental health was in tatters (not from the academic workload but from the sudden return of my unresolved emotional issues). My meds were affecting me. There's also some major shit going on between my family and my extended family and it's spilling into my life and studies. I doubted that I would pass my courses for the first year with all that, so I might as well drop out. (Taking a leave of absence would've been a more appropriate course of action, but the medical school doesn't grant that for first year students)
As the three of us talked about the consequences that would follow that decision, I noticed that the professor started sniffling and looking away from time to time. The one time I looked at his eyes during the conversation, I noticed that his eyes were red. That surprised me. Was he getting upset and emotional over this? It was so strange. I knew the prof as this pretty chill guy who doesn't let most things affect him, but here he was, getting affected by the decision of a single student to quit med school. I was weirded out, but at the same time, I was touched because the professor cared enough for one student to almost cry at the prospect of seeing them go. I wasn't even a high-achieving student. I was a mediocre to average student but he gave enough of a damn about me anyway. (He'd tell me a year later that he sees something in me and that he hopes somebody can bring that something out of me. If not him, then he hopes it's somebody like him. Idk if he really meant it or if it's just something he just says to his students, but it was nice to hear all the same)
I decided not to drop out of the program and just finish the school year. It wasn't because of the fact that I realized a professor gave a damn about me, but because learning that most medical schools would not accept a transferee or a student who's dropped out meant that I would not be able to achieve my dream of becoming a doctor. I just wanted a break, not close all the doors to med school.
I ended up failing out of the program in my second year anyway. I foolishly decided to enroll for the next school year even though I hardly recovered from the emotional shit storm I was in. I thought I could handle it. I was wrong. Bad mental health + compulsive behavior + playing counselor to a troubled cousin + med school is not a good combo.
[The universe decided to give me a second chance, btw, and I'm attending a new med school. It's not as prestigious as the one I failed out of, but the teachers are good and their graduates do get good opportunities too. There's even a professor who has the exact same background as me, so I know now that not all hope is lost for me.]
Hey if you read this, good luck in what you do
Thanks for putting this out there. I am in high school now but want to go into med school. I also struggle with some mental health issues, so thanks for letting me know that it's possible. Hope you have the most success.
@@asherdoug9526 I suggest taking time to sort out the worst of your mental health issues. Med school is intense and if your mental health is in tatters, you won't learn much. Take care of yourself first before taking care of others.
Wow that was realy touching

I had a teacher like this, and I still talk to him. He wasn't an art teacher, though.
I've been legally blind since birth, and Indiana public schools aren't great with people like me. He'd come in a few times a week to help me with visual aides and things that would make school easier for someone like me. He's basically the only reason I survived public school, and I seriously cried when he retired. I saw him, and still do, as a friend more than a teacher.

The way you can make me feel emotion in almost any video put up surpasses everyone else in the animation space. I don’t want this to be comparative, but I truly believe you are an incredible story writer and teller and i hope you have a very good day.
i agree
thank you potato

This comment is as wholesome as mr hudson
On the other hand, 69!1!1!!1!1
Why regret spreading love and joy?
“I FELT BAD”, has to be one of the funniest and most relatable things Illy has has ever said 😄😄😄
This is such a inspiring art teacher, I wish I had him Illy. On how he gave you that sketchbook with the note, it just teared me up. * Perhaps you can create a character based on me one day. No matter how bizarre it is, I will not be offended. Good luck forever* such inspiring words
My 10th grade art teacher was similar to Mr. Hudson. He would give great art advice and life advice. Though all of the art teachers at my school are really chill and friendly he will always have a special spot in my memories.
8:24 Best fricking wholesome teacher ever, I swear. I also would've needed a teacher like him (not in art, in life advices) .
0:29 it’s an Owl House reference!! I love it! I love it so much! Look you got Raine as the teacher, Luz and Amity sitting at the front, Willow and Gun behind and they’re all looking super adorable and it’s just- *chef’s kiss* magnificent! Oh and great video
... Dont you mean gus not gun

@@tommystofko6004 of course not. did you not see the floating gun behind willow?
I have a similar experience with my photography teacher. She saved my life and I wouldn't be where I am without her. Now I'm teaching a class of my own. To whoever is a teacher, treat your students with as much respect as possible, you could change their life one day.
art teachers can really make a difference in someone pursuing art. Mr. Hudson is one of those teachers that actually make a difference ♥♥♥
0:29 You know you subscribed to the right person when they put Owl House in their video.
Yes
Right it's amazing
Facts
What is owl house,jk but never watched a single episode
Yeah!!!
"Art has a dumb teenage face,
it doesn't look right because it's not finished" some of the wisest words ever said because it works as a perfect metaphor for not just how illy saw herself but how alot of teenagers do
(and maybe alot of other groups of humanity if we're really reaching.)
aww this made me tear up. i hope someday everyone finds someone like mr hudson, even if it’s not art related
I actually had a teacher like Mr. Hudson but he wasn’t an art teacher and he was my elementary second grade teacher. He looked very serious and kept to himself and talk much but once he got to know him he was actually pretty nice guy and every day since I’m still in elementary I waved at him whenever and he gives me a smile wave back 2:22
I didn’t mean to add the time
Mr Hudson sounds like a cool teacher (especially with the vending machine. Such wonderful chaotic goodness).
