Again, I love how we go back to drawing the energy/gesture. It is deceptively difficult to draw anything this way because you must have the required knowledge and visual library to achieve greater results. I am in process of learning how to "see" these flowy lines :D
bro love the lessons, ive been sketching aimlessly for years yeah i admit it i have a ton of art books i never completely read through but your lessons really demonstrate movement for me so thanks bro
Really appreciate these short videos and insights into the thought process that goes into concept art. Really appreciate all that you do and I've learned so much in such a short amount of time. Thank you so much and keep up the great work
I'm not a drawer, not even an amateur, but this 'journey' into the technical and creative process, this intense yet spontaneous and sincere sharing, has given me ten truly enjoyable minutes. Thank you for sharing with such mastery and naturalness
Thank you for sharing your love for teaching and art with us and trying your best to keep making your content better. You do an amazing job already man.
I've been learning to draw for over a month, practicing the essentials of line making and shapes. I've been told about the importance of taking time to draw from my imagination for mere explotarion and fun, but I hadn't been able to overcome my fear of the blank page, I didn't really know what to do. Your videos have become a waypoint in my drawing journey to set me up in the right direction. Thanks a lot for sharing your wisdom with us ❤
I like your art it truly inspires me I am at that point where I want to draw but got nothing in mind but when I do I completely give up because it doesn’t look like what I imagined, it’s tough man😢 and watching your vids give me that little spark of motivation.
This is the answer nobody wants to hear but it's the truth; draw a ton of stuff by just copying reference, fill pages with textures, do life studies of people, collect as much anatomy reference material as you can. You just gotta do the reps to fill your head with a library of shape language and stuff. Worry about creativity a little later, whenever you're blocked just do reference work.
my dad died when i was 3, u so kind person, kind voice, good teacher, ur like my father of drawing! i start to drawing and watching ur vids, ty alot! and hello from Russia, Maxim 34 years old ^^
Damn, I just realized the size of the paper you're drawing on. I used to beat myself over making tiny sketches on an A5 format, like that's not something a real artist would have done, they use these huge canvases and whatnot. Boy was I an idiot back in the day.
I really love your style of sketching/drawing. Its similar to how i draw. I was wondering though if maybe you could go a little more in depth on hair/fur on animals. Such as different lengths, blending the fur into a harder material like horns/antlers, representing different colors of fur while also keeping shadows readable, and the flow of hair around the body. Thank you!! I really enjoy the content and find it useful!
Honestly, trying to practice drawing faster and faster has made me not only much better artist, but get less frustrated. And I think it stems from 1 main thing: Making less mistakes 1) I go to fix things less that don't matter. 2) I get to make big mistakes faster and iterate faster, thus I get to the good structure faster and makes less future mistakes.
It's all about excusing yourself from the lines you put down. The faster you can let go, the better your drawings will be. We get in our own way of progress due to perfection.
Happy new year! I really enjoyed watching this one. As someone who overthinks a lot, letting the gestures flow and going with what shows up on the paper is something that really helps me losen up. I hope I can use that to improve my tiny little sketching skills. Thank you for the video! I need to catch up... 😄
Hey Bobby, I’ve commented on this before, maybe your last video. So try as I might I know I’m heavy handed, in the end my sketches are close to the same values….there isn’t cohesive flow. I’ve been working with a b4, but since I know I’m a little heavy with values I went to a b2. Are there any exercises? Like if you have spotted hide how the highlights and shadows along with cast shadows, etc. One of you sketchbook flip through you had like a giraffe character that had beautiful work to it. Can you go over something like that. Or with horn/antlers…the change in color/tone vs. shade and shadow. Sry for the long winded post. You rock! …….so does BIGFOOT!
Hey Bobby, so earlier I was explaining tone, value, shadows, but I also wanted to add the contrast. So…I can do all, but trying to do a sketch, it falls dark, 2 tone, and kind of flat. I’m trying a softer medium. At the same point “Spots or Stripes” like a giraffe or zebra. Highlights, values contrast, tone (spots). Any help would be great. BIG🦶
This is when not pressing harder and keeping the pencil sharp really comes into play. You can do an entire sketch with just one pencil if you control the grip and release pressure when needed.
@@bobbyrebholz2183 that is why I’m the cricket, and you are the master. I think what’s messing me up is setting the tone of the area, but it does help. You make it look very easy. I can do it to a certain extent, but once I try to add values it turns all dark. Patience and practice, with what you do, my art pops a lot more…..plus I enjoy it more too. Thanks dude!
Question: I have a problem when if shade, I just feel like I overshade a lot and I only make my drawings have a dark value, I can’t seem to find a way to shade lighter without not feeling uncomfortable.
Tip: hold your pencil more loose. If you hold your pencil too tight it could be contributing, but if it's simply too many layers, just try to keep yourself conscious and stepping back near the end. And if its finished, you could use a kneadable eraser and just pancake it if it's already too dark.
I have no artistic skill and I'm writing a comic book. Can you illustrate a character or 2 for me? It's much easier to write when I can see the character.
I wish that I co7ld pay this guy to make a drawing (Edit) not me dancing because this is the second time he has hearted my comment and now it’s probably gonna go away because I edited it
The "background" adds atmosphere......only standup comedians can survive without a "background"...... So Starwars in your granny's kitchen will always be inferior to a majestic infinitely dark, and infinitely ...infinite.... perfect " background"......the background baby...THATS where its at MF! - Great video posting!
Of course you can! It's a physical skill, like walking or tying your shoes. You just need to sit down and start doing it. Pick up Mark Kistlers' You Can Draw in 30 Days, and just...go. It's very non-intimidating, and a nice point to just start getting into the daily practice of sitting down and DOING (he also streams live on youtube). Be patient with yourself--learning a skill does take time. You're literally growing new connections in your brain and developing muscle memory for what it feels like to do these things.
Do you think there is anything worthy of being talked about when it comes to the initial rough sketch and how to arrive there? I once read something about "contouring" and "massing" but was never able to find more information on it. There the artist talked about how some artists like to use loose lines to get the proportions where others like to start with big chunks of shapes to get to the first phase of drawing. I feel like I'm struggling with the line approach but drawing with shapes seems to be harder in invisible 3D space. And then I've seen great comic artists like Jim Lee and David Finch draw with big circles and cylinders to get their initial proportions down. I don't even know what I'm talking about right now. I'll see myself out.

Drawing creatures is actually the most relaxing and fun thing in drawing imo

Hey nice video, I drew along and like the way it turned out
You gave me so much to work on. Excelsior!

Draw very loose and light at first then refinements can be made later.
I love your style.
love a good loose sketch! thank you for the extra bit of knowledge! 💙
Great video, helped me accept the chaos of a developing concept, thank you 🙏

Drawing tips aside, I really wanted to see more of the thumbnail cuz it looked so cool so appreciate you showing that off at the start of the video.
Amazing work.
Thank you! Cheers!
Great lesson thank you!
Glad you liked it!
Love the idea!
The tariff is speechless! Great👍 🔔👈
Thanks!
Wow thank you!

Great video, Bobby! We did a short art mentorship meetup years ago and I've been progressing well since then on my channel and my work!
Very interesting lesson, thank you. I wouldn't stress about your video quality as it looked great to me.
Thank you very much!
I feel seen now LOL after my comment on your last video. Thank you so much, these videos feel like treasures.

Thanks for the idea! More hair and fur videos are coming because I need to cover straight/curly hair and different animal furs.
@@bobbyrebholz2183 can't wait!!
love the way you draw.
Happy new year to you all. From Australia 😊
Same to you!
Beautiful and insightful!!
So good, both advice and art
Thank you!
Ty for tips😊
Any time!
at 8:30 that rock pile could totally be a truck driving down a road. love the tips!
It's like a Yu GI oh card, or the zombie dragon of Demon Crest

The landscape has a lot of motion energy ya know
I was having a hard time following the tree sketching part because I wasn't clear on whether these were happy little trees or just regular trees.
Armored dragon, witha machine gun. Awesome. Kkkkkk. Nice drawing tips by the way. Nice video.
I see weird mech monster with its mouth open like Big Bird I subscribe
Could you draw a canine version of a lion
Do you mean mixing a dog and a lion together?
Wow next avatar.......tankers
Hi guys
What's the name of his mentor he's mentioning at 6:00 ?
Not an English speaker, I have a hard time getting the name.
Thanks in advance 🙏🏻

@@bobbyrebholz2183 awesome, thanks a lot!
Rory Hidochi? Is that how you spell his name?
Bobby how can one become exclusively a creature designer?

If you overshade,you just pronounce a highlights and from white shade easy to first overshades!!!

Came for the dragon, stayed to see maybe hopefully eventually see the dragon be drawn, but didn't.
He says at the start that he wasn't going to draw the dragon
But I can't draw a shape:(

This what I do lol
:)
all I can see is a turtle 🐢 😅
Advertises a cool dragon, but then draws some dumb trees. Quickest mute in the west!
They sell tissues at Target if you want to cry.
to much talking
It's called a lesson.
where do I purchase competent hands lol
