As a beginner artist and want to learn this art style because I still haven't decided what style to commit, this video really HELPS alot. I ALSO HATE THOSE STICK MAN SKETCHES and hearing you say not to do that FUCK It's a breath of fresh air! Thanks for sharing this for real!
Tried to learn to draw with stick man sketches for months cause I heard you need to create a foundation of a pose. My end results are stiff like bf's drawing (2:34). Its frustrating and takes all the fun away. Fuck 'em!
ngl I don’t use that type of stickman method, I kinda do what he mentioned when drawing the sketch at 2:05 . but I’ll use circles and stuff because it helps me know where I gotta put the hair and all that
@@GRgregori tried it nice time, I hated how my drawing looked while I was doing lineart. It made it SO DAMN STIFF I hated the end result. So yeah fuck em. Rough sketches is the way to go 👍🏽
I feel like you explained the very simple do's and don'ts when it comes to PhantomArcade's style, like the skeleton example, When I draw, I dont use a skeleton as a base, I just draw and just go with it like you explained, then I clean it up afterwards. All in all, this is a perfect video. 10/10
Yo I'm so dang glad someone's finally made a video/tutorial on this. Dave's art style that he himself described as a combo of Jeff's, Egoraptor's, etc is genuinely one of my fav styles that vibes with Newgrounds' aesthetic to a T. I'm super lookin forward to more of what u gotta say on this and how dave stylises/caricatures shit in a way that is super appealing and dynamic. *I also hope that you delve into Dave and evilsk8er's process in the way they collab and bounce concept/character designs off each other that blends into the final designs.* I find collabs like that super interesting as it allows for more variety and individual input into what makes an appealing design when it's passed around between other artists and how they stylise specific aspects. *I also love what u said bout not sticking to a skeleton base/construction.* The FNF artstyle is as u said, super simplified but also extremely particular in how it deforms anatomy and exaggerates poses/facial expressions. I def agree that when it comes to extremely cartoony artstyles that a super strict and 'correct' anatomy/proportions and a super planned out base structure is almost NEVER as important as having a dynamic gestural pose/line work, exaggerated features that are clearly defined, varying line weight, colours that pop, simple but well placed shadows/highlights, etc. I find myself when sketching to have an extremely light and simple foundation but worrying bout details, proportions and anatomy till later and focusing on getting interesting poses, dynamic gestures and varying lines that compliment each other. Either way, amazing job with past videos and def excited for more of this series!!
my own artstyle has been REALLY influenced by phantomarcade’s, so it’s nice to get a quick rerun on it. i barely do those complicated sketches on regular doodles which is honestly why i kinda like it
One thing that I absolutely love about this channel is not only the funny humor and phenomenal music, it’s the fact that I can’t tell which drawings are from phantom and your drawings, like, your style is exactly the same as his and it’s awesome, anyway this channel is underrated as FUUUUCK, keep up the awesome work!
Bro, THANK YOU. You have no idea what I've been going through searching on the internet for an ACTUAL tutorial teaching the basics. Now I'm actually hyped for part 2, I can't wait to make actual FNF sprites. You earned yourself a sub man, keep it up! 👍
Thank you so much for this! The phantom arcade style has always interested me for a long time, because of it's simple but very expressive artstyle. honestly the way he draws faces and emotions, etc + poses and just the general body makes it look so dynamic and cool to look at.
Jesus, this is amazing. I have a dream to be good at art, and I can’t even draw a good looking stick figure cause I’m so damn bad at drawing a smooth line. Thanks for this man, maybe I can finally get good at art by doing this. I know I just need to commit to it to be good, but I need a place to start. You are an absolute legend.
Wow. This is actually nice. Not only do i have a better insight on the FNF artstyle, but now I have a better outlook on trying to draw someone or something. Thank you! ^^
Actually really great video! Even tho I still cant perfectly nail the PA style, Ive been drawing for one year and I see some progress! This video didnt teach me something very new, but I see you put a lot of effort into it! For those who still cant draw well or draw in PA style, dont give up. Like seriously, after blood sweat, and sh*t ton of drawings, youll get there. Art can be very hard, and thats ok. It took me 9 months of learning perspective, practicing line confidence, and I can finally draw bf's head pretty accurate! Just dont be rude to yourself. You can do it.
In all honesty when I first saw your videos, I thought phantom arcade themselves made the drawings, or you maybe you were a dev of fnf- but I can say that you did an amazing job!
I'm glad somebody's been able to explain the art style because every time I try to I just don't know the right words since I'm not a artist. Like how the anatomy for the style kinda doesn't make any sense but that it's obviously on purpose
You just made me realize why I've been having such a huge problem with drawing anatomy when it comes to Phantom Arcade's style. I always hated drawing those stickman/skeleton things bro thx man
I kinda knew how to do PhantomArcade artstyle, i have been watching his working or teaching streams, that is where i got a little bit of experience, liked that video a lot
Dang, ThugWiz. This looks great! I'm surprised that the way you draw isn't that different from how I do this artstyle! I somewhat agree on the "stickman method thing," it just... it takes skill and can be helpful. Especially when you're animating. It's funny because the entire point of PhantomArcade anatomy is that it's not anatomy, if that makes any sense. Do you still want your forms and proportions to be consistent? Yes, absolutely! But that's what character sheets are for. I do think that the stick method helps for drawing things like hands, but even then it's difficult to keep track of what your doing. (Again it works for me personally, but that's with years of practice, and it depends on preference.) In all, great job Wiz! Can't wait for part 2!
Thanks man! I really needed this because I wanted to draw just like the skechty-doodle way PhantomArcade does it. ALSO DAYUM BF AND GF GETTING IT ON RIGHT HERE!!!! 3:51. All jokes aside, i love you content man and I wanna stick by your side and see your channel grow. And a lot of us is wondering.... WHERE THE THUGWIZARD DISCORD SERVER AT?!??!?! Happy 12.3k man ❤❤🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
this is going to be a game changer, tbh procrastinating a project im working with a friend is just letting resources i could use just come outta nowhere
2:19 BRO YES SOMEBODY GETS ME😭💀😭💀😭💀 Istg I never draw stick figure sketches and like my friends in middle school would be confused on why I never used the method. If anything- I feel like it gives drawings personally and charming imperfections
This was VERY helpful, i've been struggling to draw the PA artstyle for a while, and i sadly used the dogshit skeleton sketch method, thankfully i stopped and now i got the handle of it
my friends says i draw in the fnf/phantom arcade style really good but i really idk how to draw hands but besides that it looks good and this tutorial helps A LOT, thanks man
honestly i would love a voice effects tutorial i love how you make your art and voices and stuff so id love to see a tutorial on that and this series continued
Pretty decent video, icl. Personally, on the topic of the skeleton, depending on the nature of it, it actually isn't a bad idea to use one, especially if you want to maintain consistency with proportions, which is especially important in animation. Really, the important thing is just making sure that the skeleton is flexible, allowing for tons of different gestures and viewpoints. For example, when I draw, I use the fred morre head and a combination of the bean and flour sack torso because not only are they simple, but they are extremely flexible, allowing for a lot of expressiveness, and are versatile, allowing for lots of different body types and gestures, all while maintaining consistent proportions. The ones you showed seem to involve way too much anatomic guess work and limited flexibility/versatility, so yeah, using those would be a terrible idea for any artist IMO.
For the Style in question, Skeletal sketches are a horrible idea. The fnf style isn’t proportionally accurate as explained in the video and using a very specific sketch will just limit the bouncy and flush look of it. The skeleton sketch is definitely not a bad thing, especially for beginner artist, but definitely not for this Artstyle
@@DaThugWizard Fair enough. I've found that it works extremely well for me, though, just by using a bean for the body and a circle for the head while stretching and squashing it when needed, while still being able to be extremely accurate to PA's artstyle, so maybe it just depends on the artist.
Makes me feel extremely good and not lazy at the fact that I don't use that damn skeleton shit. Didn't know not using it could be a staple in someone's stylized art.
Thanks dude this helps a lot and Im getting better with it bc I hate drawing sketches and the art style u don't really need too and its amazing. (And ooooo ur voice is clean 😳)
I feel like the skeleton method does work for certain art styles, but certainly not this one. Phantomarcade's style has always been more random and free than you'd typically expect, with even characters within the game itself having very large differences between one another, which imo fits for a game based on newgrounds. However if you already know the rules of your art style, and want to draw them more consistently each time, I feel like the skeleton method does work for that. although it's better to make your own skeleton rather than draw one based on real human anatomy, since you can fuck with proportions more. Great guide! I'm impressed with how in-depth you went, and will definitely help people learn to draw in this unique art style!
I didn't know how much I needed that "stop using stickman" quip until now.I was starting to get curious as to why I felt like dying every time I drew a model and then the character. Stylized things, especially ones that look like this, don't need anatomy too often unless others need to draw them constantly. Though, is it okay draw some kind of skeleton to get the feel of what shapes are used, how they move, that kind of thing?
well i only draw in paper but this is going to help me in digital art too wizard you are a great artist and this tutorial is going to help me too much too be a Future artist
Amazing job with the tutorial video I just Fucking love it and this is interesting to learn about Phantom arcades FNF Style keep doing of what your doing and keep on making great content.👍❤️👍

Instant subscribe, for omce i didn't skip through a long form video, props to you mate.
