Okay I’ve been watching ATLA lately and I love the monster designs and the world is very interesting but I have a really hard time getting over the characters and dialogue... I get it’s a kid show but like maybe 1 in 10 jokes land and the rest are all groan inducing cliches or worn out character tropes they beat to death each episode. Also I find all of the main characters more annoying than endearing so far (I like Iroh tho). Anyway sorry for the rant just curious if I’m missing anything or if the later parts of the show improve on these things!
afeatherinthewind that’s awesome, thanks for the reply! I’m enjoying it so I’m gonna keep watching it I’m mostly being picky! :) glad the creatures and world keep getting better too! :0
This is legit the way to learn quickly and effectively. It's taking the principles of drawing from a reference to understand a subject so you can learn the anatomy of the style. Do it enough times and it becomes ingrained in your skull. I literally do this every time I want to tackle unfamiliar mediums, styles, subjects... everything. Pissed off my friends by drawing galloping horse from scratch after a month of study.
I’ve been doing this breakdown and redraw technique for a while and never knew it was an actual thing, now that I’ve seen your video. It makes sense why I’ve been getting so much better. I’m glad that you gave me some more tips to add to my study techniques.
I cant Express how much gratitude I have for you making these videos, I find alot of people just put up really complicated or vague ways to get better, but you're making this super digestible, and make it seem actually possible. Thanks!
How to *Massively* improve your drawing skills? Follow Etans's tutorials to improve your skill, fundamental understanding and probably the most important one - your mood.

5:34 Quick tip: If you want to do frame-by-frame on RUclips, use the keys < and > (technically, it's the period and comma keys, but it's easier to remember them as arrows). Not only you don't need to smash the space key, it's much more reliable and you could go back frame-by-frame.
i think its really nice that wacom reached out like this. to see that they are not just a profit focused tech company but are in fact more user oriented and focused on just giving people the tools they need for expression and creativity. i am glad Ethan has a platform like this where we can see even corporations which should be soulless automatons come in and share in an activity that promotes creative growth, fun, and just a love of art. this is a great channel and i love what you do Ethan. i do not work for wacom.
The poses, body shape and body language of avatar is so top notch, I use so many drawing references from that show because they’re so diverse and expressive
3:38 as a professional mma fighter learning the art of digital drawning, I approve of this message !! Facts 10:00 wasn't Toph style based on the Southern Praying Mantis
I did this exact type of practice with faces from the front a while ago. A very methodical approach. It is indeed a gamechanger. I made so much progress in a short time... It's true: you start to recognize your own mistake patterns. Damn, I need to start doing this again! Great video!
I've been following you for 2 months and my art has become way better thanks to your advices. Now I'm just doing redraws to train myself and, thanks to these three steps, I've done things I didn't know I was capable of. The only thing I still have difficulties with is flipping the drawing but I'm working on it
I am so glad you made this video!! I started breaking down avatar a few months ago and I've learned a lot from doing it. Avatar has some of the greatest fighting animations I've ever seen.
Ive been binging all these videos so much cus they have helped me a shit ton with progress. I especially love that you talk about going into a drawing hoping to fuck up so then you can learn from it. That mentality has helped me HELLA
I genuinely wish I had your channel when I first started. It took me like 3 years to figure this stuff out by myself. Doin god's work here mate keep it up.
Ethan: *put my reference challenge at the very beginning **11:43* Me: *gasp* Does this mean I'm no longer a baby? This really lift my spirit up and eliminate my artblock. Thanks a million, Ethan!
"I don't like to consider myself a good drawer. I don't think I draw well. But I would say that I'm a good editor." Bro that kind of just blew my mind. I've been having internal conflicts with art and can't quite pinpoint my strengths. That description summarized what I think I'm pretty good at too but have never thought about it in that way. Thanks for that.
Wait, if the purpose of the breakdown is to get into the mindset of the artist, if you do a breakdown on life, are you getting into the mindset of god?👀
This is a few months late but I finished ATLA and Korra and have been gobbling up the comics and really enjoying the little like, extra bits they put in the comics about the process etc, and then I saw some of your art today on my IG feed, and was like, "wow, that looks straight out of avatar" and then I saw this video haha. This is such a cool breakdown, I feel like I learn so much from all your videos and there's always something popping up I haven't watched yet. Thank you for your content!
I always thought of Avatar as a great series, while I watched it I made the decision of use it as reference for expresions. But this video made me reconsider to just use it to all kind of reference. Thanks!
Wow, absolutely loved this!! As someone who has learned to draw from just doing it a ton its so nice to see someone breakdown and explain why and how things work. Absolutely love!
@@livetochange974 yes you can idiot. Thats why people without hands can draw. Wait you got mad at somebody for making an "amputee joke" yet here you are saying that you cant draw without hands? Youre horrible.
hello @Ethan Becker i go to high school for animation and i have been losing my interest for continuing this as something i wanna do for the rest of my life but when i watch you explain and everything and how fun it is for me to follow along with you it really makes me happy that i chose art as my major thank you for sharing your wisdom with me and everyone else
so I first watched this vid because I wanted to try and recreate the style, which worked (in a way, still making improvements here and there) but I just want to say that applying the “breakdown” stage to normal art and breaking it down into shapes and measuring stuff out has improved my art a WHOLE LOT like seriously thank you for teaching me this ethan, I’ll make sure I subscribe after I finish writing this comment because you deserve it
I have a question about this particular exercise. I first learned of this from John Kricfalusi blog and found it has helped a lot. But how many times would you say to break down a single reference and fix the mistakes you make, or should you one and done it?
I would do it once, compare and fix any mixtakes, then move onto another reference, then once I went through a few more studies (over a couple of weeks) I would revisit the ones I felt the weakest with and redo them to see if I've improved with them.
I think it will be more useful to do it once per reference. So break a reference down, analyze mistakes, move onto the next reference with the info you gained from the previous breakdown.

Is there any way I can support the channel or you?
Ethan stumbling on words and going as far to highlight it makes me pause the video to laugh every time, thank you for having strong enough self confidence to give us those gems, it only makes me like you more and makes you seem more human.
I've been shown to do way wider anchor points like the one you drew over katara's nose during that first breakdown, but I've found I always struggle with giving my characters VERY flat faces. Fixating it on that one small spot over the bridge of the nose helps SO much in fixing that for me!! Thank you so much for your videos!
This is the best way to learn drawing anything. Tracing will only lead you to stagnation or draw the same stuff over and over. Understanding the layers allow to combine, sculpt among others. Practicing is just the toughest part but with strategy it's a piece of cake !
FYI - The shortcut for frame by frame on RUclips videos is the period key (forward frame) and comma key (backwards frame). Just make sure to pause the video first! Much easier than using the spacebar or manually rewinding references 👏🏽 Thanks for the great video!
The 10 second tid bit about the nose + mouth has DRASTICALLY helped me improve on facial expressions better than I ever have in years. Your advice is amazing, in even the littlest ways
It makes me really happy that you mentioned Tophs stance because I noticed it as well, and just how unusual it was, and it made me feel some kind of way when I was watching the show. It just looked so real.
Useful RUclips controls tip: Press the comma/left-carrot key (,/) on a paused video to move backwards and forwards by exactly 1 frame instead of mashing spacebar haphazardly and hoping you do it fast enough if you want to analyze frames. Also Ethan thank you so much for doing these videos I'm starting from basically zero ability and I'm finding your videos super helpful
My friend sent me here, had no idea a channel like this for animation existed. Time to follow and start binge watching your videos. For a fist impressions of this channel, I'm quite excited for what ill be seeing next.
Yo, I've watched a few of your "breakdown" vids, but I honestly think this is the most clear, succinct explanation of how to go about it! Saving this for reference later.
You are like the best man, your advice is primo. seriously every video I become less and less of a baby and more towards my goal of drawing out my story
Thank you for this video, Ethan. For some time I've been doing these exact steps and it felt kinda wrong as if I was cheating. But you've restored my baby beginner confedence
ETHAN. I have a life saving tip bro. RUclips lets you frame by frame with [period] . and [comma] , (the idea is that the < > arrows work just like flash)
Nice tip if you're on RUclips using a computer, you can use the "." and the "," keys to progress or go back by a single frame if youre trying to gather reference

The 10 second tid bit about the nose + mouth has DRASTICALLY helped me improve on facial expressions better than I ever have in years. Your advice is amazing, in even the littlest ways
So, I'm here saving money for art school...when I can just watch this dude's videos
It makes me really happy that you mentioned Tophs stance because I noticed it as well, and just how unusual it was, and it made me feel some kind of way when I was watching the show. It just looked so real.
1:16 actually, I do have a breakdown every day. Just not drawing.
Useful RUclips controls tip: Press the comma/left-carrot key (,/) on a paused video to move backwards and forwards by exactly 1 frame instead of mashing spacebar haphazardly and hoping you do it fast enough if you want to analyze frames.
Also Ethan thank you so much for doing these videos I'm starting from basically zero ability and I'm finding your videos super helpful
When you don't have any other drawing device except your phone :,)
My friend sent me here, had no idea a channel like this for animation existed. Time to follow and start binge watching your videos. For a fist impressions of this channel, I'm quite excited for what ill be seeing next.
More importantly,, how did he screenshot Netflix???
@@notnigul39 my hero!
@@blehpp7192what did they say
Yo, I've watched a few of your "breakdown" vids, but I honestly think this is the most clear, succinct explanation of how to go about it! Saving this for reference later.
This is how many times he said suckers
👇🏽
You are like the best man, your advice is primo. seriously every video I become less and less of a baby and more towards my goal of drawing out my story
but how can u fix perfection?
Rawket no one’s fixing it. His just breaking it down
By making more of it
Thank you for this video, Ethan. For some time I've been doing these exact steps and it felt kinda wrong as if I was cheating. But you've restored my baby beginner confedence
is your microphone on a knife???
I still revisit this vid from time to time. Still really helpful
Your dog be wiggling everywhere
On RUclips, you can check frame by frame. By pressing the < and > buttons on your keyboard. Just fun facts
**draws a circle**
How the-
you dont have to spam space bar, on youtube you could press the < > keys to look at every frame.
First
Never said that before cool
I can do you one better... 2nd 😎 👉👉
Noice 😄

(But actually not)
ETHAN. I have a life saving tip bro. RUclips lets you frame by frame with [period] . and [comma] , (the idea is that the < > arrows work just like flash)
NOW ALK MY Q's Will be answered
Nice tip if you're on RUclips using a computer, you can use the "." and the "," keys to progress or go back by a single frame if youre trying to gather reference
