- PolandBall is the massively successful geopolitical comic that portrays different countries as balls. While the barrier to entry is low, there are many different rules one must keep in mind when doodling these balls. In this episode, I will explain many of these rules!

I still can't figure out why Mr. Spherical got away with putting mouths and eyebrows to countryballs
not gonna throw shade to him! but his stuff isn't really polandball, but it's alright
i’d say it’s ok if you can actually manage to make it look good, like no idea animation.
@@Rangadus yeah, I enjoy the content overall
Live laugh love Mr. Spherical‼️‼️
I think its ok with Mr.Spherical, its fitting. Anyways, we can say Mr. Spherical and the spinoff SolarBalls (specially SolarBalls) are just loosely based on countryballs and planetballs
Let's not also forget that we never, and I mean NEVER, affiliate with Countryhumans.
Objectflags?
As a countryhumanizer I can confirm that.
@@marshenmelodies5108do they have mouths
@@Cil-lanCelepseCilantroCianuroIRYO on Countryhumans
@@sebberthecoolest3000 yes but its the entire flag and not just a ball
I actually questioned why polandball is upside-down. It turns out poland is is actually considered the "upside-down country" and a mistake in the first countryballs comic.
i talk more about polandball's origin in another video if you wanna check it out!

Rule 1: NO CIRCLE TOOL
Me who struggles to draw something that even resembles a circle: dang that’s crazy
the fact that bulgariaball drawn the countryball looked a lil bit circlish
if you never stop using cirlce tool you will never learn
@@guessigbut theres no reason to stop using it
@@guessig oh hi guess!
@@jeannesery9936 there is a reason to stop using it! the reason: circle tools make the circle look unnatural, and makes your art skills never improve!
Wow, this is well made for such a small content creator. Well done, you're gonna make it far. Everyone who's into countryballs/polandball should watch this video. Cheers!
Thank you!
I love when people see the true-ness of MS Paint
there's a way to make ms paint look nice
HI ANIRISH
Is pixilart ok with countryballs?
i love country/polandballs but ms paint just doesnt work for me, looks good but i just cant draw with it
is pixilart ok? it just feels better with me

or eyepatches but sunglasses are way better
Better things ever
What I do usually is give them a special pupil
Don’t forget about the bad/broken grammar
Yep! That's a part of it. I mostly stuck to the drawing parts though

Yes Is That Must Do To When Countryballs Drawing
The accordion cover of the Polish national anthem at the beginning is a nice touch! Mazurek Dąbrowskiego is such an uplifting masterpiece. The original lyrics were written by Józef Wybicki in Reggio Emilia, Italy in July 1797, two years after the Third Partition of Poland erased the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth from the map. Its initial purpose was to raise the morale of Jan Henryk Dąbrowski's Polish Legions that served with Napoleon Bonaparte in the Italian campaigns of the French Revolutionary Wars. That the idea of Poland had not disappeared as long as the Poles had hope and fought in its name, and knowing their history of empires dividing and taking over their land, it's a surprise to nobody just how proud and resilient they are!
The chorus and subsequent stanzas include heart-lifting examples of military heroes like Jan Henryk Dąbrowski, Napoleon, Stefan Czarniecki and Tadeusz Kościuszko. Before he formed the Polish Legions, Dąbrowski was a commander in the failed 1794 Kościuszko Uprising against the Russian Empire. After the Third Partition in 1795, he came to Paris to seek French aid in re-establishing Polish independence and thus he started the formation of the Polish Legions. The anthem even inspired Hej, Sloveni which became the anthem of Yugoslavia in the 1940s.
finally a youtuber that makes me want to watch them longer. a very rare occurrence nowadays.
As a Countryball Creator, I agree
I'm glad you do!
Oh wait bro, let's talk about another antagonist of Countryballs, it's Reichtangle, you better talk about it in your next video...
@@JiecinDumolang2011 trying to avoid becoming the next polandball channel... but if i make another video i will mention it
@@spelticup ok²
As a countryball creator too, I punish myself If I forget these rules 💀🤑
Also, german empire cam be drawn as a rechtangle, but that isn't actualy necessary, as II riech and riechtangle are sometimes 2 diffrent characters, or if you want to add more emotion to II riech make him a ball, because riechtangles eyes must stay 2 dots, so if you want emotion make him a ball.
reichtangle often depicted as the fourth reich
I want to stomp on hyper realistic Poland ball until it turns into a small pink stain
yummy drink
Bro called out the whole countryhuman fandom💀
We got worse. (Me being a former countryhuman fan
😢 =(
There was no reason not to
Have you seen what they’ve done to Japan?
I can't describe it, but this feels like a video I would watch many years ago, like, 2012 or 2013, back in ye olden days. Love it, keep on creating, man
Thank you for the information, Nnoxie. I appreciate the educational tidbit.
Welcome to the polandball fandom!
Here we have:
-Funny comics
-talented animators
-stereotypical jokes
What we don't have:
-indonesia
We hate confusing indonesia with poland.
You forgor something we dont have
-Any respect to the countryhumans fandom
-good painters
Something that might’ve been important to add is that Indonesia is usually drawn with a straw hat to differentiate from Poland.
And Monaco wears sunglasses

@@spelticupno Thank you 😡💔🇵🇱
blud is angry that Poland is upside down lmao
@@minecraftcreeper8780 bro is mad that polands flag is upside down (do you even know what a joke of the polish flag is? If no delete you're useless comment
The Circle tool doesn't need to be set on fire
false!
i agree with mr. icup
I love how your mustache moves so violently when you talk
It's a skill
i can do that irl
Nice video ! Also, as a countryballer, you can also try to "glue" the eyes to the flag, so it can be less cursed
"countryballer" is such a cursed yet somehow normal word lol
how do you glue eyes on a country ball 🗣️
I first watched this vid when you had 900 subs, damn you grew fast
4:27 If you want to know the reason why omsk is a bird, there was a painting that is named "winged doom/welcome to omsk" it was funny so it quicky took on. And sometimes the bird may now be talking about "the great trial awaits" or something like that. Because their is a mod "The New Order" for the game HOI4 where germany won ww2 and russia fell into anarchy and what came out of omsk was some hypernationalistic state sought on ONLY taking revenge appon the 3 reich(nazi germany) and its catchfrase for destroying germany, that being "the great trial"
I really like your animations
Thanks so much for the tutorial! Now I know how to draw countryballs and follow r/polandball rules!
Amazing, and dang? only 1.2k subs? I’m subscribing.
Thank you!
No matter what you do just make the back of Finland a stripe and not a mirror of the front
So as the other Nordic flags or cross flags too?
Me watching the video: this could hopefully explain some questions I’ve been having!
Me after the video: I have broken all of these rules at least once 💀
5:23 wow great Polandbal- WAIT PLS SPARE ME WHY ARE U AT MY HOUSE AHHHH
rule 3: he just describe countryhumans
Yes, but just with a body and not just arms and legs ^^
I have seen your vids and i think its really cool
Have a good day/night
Thank you!
@@spelticup You're welcome
Country balls are absolutely 100% malleable and squishy
100% true!

Who is for Austria Hungary having sunglasses instead of Eyepatches?
sunglasses werent really a thing in austria hungary at the time
Either works.
both are fine ig
I guess then just add the coat of arms and no one will notice

Icee Ulysses Panker has just saved me a lifetime spent in art school with this video...
Truly a modern marvel...
@@spelticuptry not to get rejected from art school though
As a Countryball animator, this is actually really accurate.
I don’t make polandball upside down so you don’t confuse it with Indonesia and make Monaco have their coat of arms but i make Singapore a triangle and so on
Sometimes you CAN bend the rules, but only if you absolutely know what you're doing.
Look at MrSpherical; adding hands (sometimes), mouths, and eyebrows to countryballs, but they do it well, almost to the point where it's normal
It can also help show more expression to the ball, but you should only do this if you absolutely know what you're doing, like Spherical
Just NEVER ADD ARMS
I draw it correctly already before I know the rules😂😂😂
awesome!
Subconscious knowledge
+100 Respect. I could never type awsome on a slight hate comment.@@spelticup
@@spelticupBuuuuuuuuuu
cant wait for the countryhumans episode
Don't know about that...
@@spelticup its probably for the better lol
😨
@@spelticuponly rules about countryhumans. Don't search it up on Google images and avoid the really strange areas.
@@spelticupthank god, also DONT SEARCH IT UP FOR YOUR OWN GOOD
Countryballs are country balls though, as long as they're balls and represent a country.
Personally I'd just draw it rightside up, cause not only is it more accurate but also you don't confuse it with Indonesia. Now I get that drawing golden wings and a songkok on the Indonesia ball is pretty metal but not everyone has the time for that.
The only rule i dont follow is upside down poland.
Why: My brother remembers countryballs from when it first started, he told me that upside down poland was a mistake, and people made fun of the creator. Then the creator fixed poland but people kept drawing it upside down to troll him.
Yeah.. it’s just dumb.. there’s already Indonesia and Monaco, why have another? Lol
Actually I think Falco (the guy who first made it) drew the Poland flag upside down on accident, but then everyone decided that the design was cool and it stuck from there, but I may be wrong lol
Everyone I know follows the upside-down Poland ball rule do to it being a staple in the series
Agreed it didn't make sense when I sometimes thought it was Indonesia but later tell me it's poland and nobody told me why it's a rule
Its like throwing a seed up in the air so it comes out as a upside down tree
I saw this in one comic and wish more comics did this but i like when drawn poland ball they have the eyes on the underside so hey look as if just flipped upside down instead of just the colours swapped which can confuse it with indonesia.
also some kinda feel it might be offensive to draw the flag upside down
What are the reasons for the different shapes?
"Please, don't add mouths to your character"
MrSpherical: I will pretend I did not see that
0:39 *_pure beauty._*
nightmares
0:38
I'll accept literally every rule EXCEPT for that upside-down thing, because I ain't gonna accept a rule because the original creator couldn't do something as simple as checking the flag and doing it right
From what I know, it was an intentional choice to make Poland upside down in order to piss off a Polish nationalist (Wojak). You don't have to, but just know you can't submit right-side-up poland to the reddit!
This always causes a fire in Countryball communities (Reddit, discord, amino,) lol
Good times..
3:06 imagine hearing this no context
Did you see Venice in the countryballs universe? He has legs!
Don’t forget, you can have one type of hands. An oval that floats like a hand, no arm.
Muchas gracias maestro ;)
de nada
i quite like this channel
Hey, its me Descubre! You may lnow me from that one MrSpherical comment from 7 months since i wrote this. Just want to say, I respect the team and I love the animations. Just had this to say. I am not editing the original comment because I dont want to lose the heart so thats for y'all. Have a blessed day.
3:48 you are a great singer
even if that's sarcastic, thank you!
Small dumb correction: Omsk I believe is an oblast in Russia not just a city
I broke 2 rules
1. The circle rule
2. The hair rule ( it’s looks good srry)
what about balls about ficional contries, like the mcrn from the expance? are there any rules for those, and if there are not, can i make up my own?
for the subreddit, i am pretty sure they must be real countries. but you can still make fictional countries in polandball, you just can't post it there!
@@spelticup alright, can I still make fictional countryballs that do not follow any rules and post it in its own universe? Like putting an MCRN ball in an expanse sureddit?
5:24 countryhumans mid transformation. Yikes
yikes is right, we do not talk about that
😨😰
I love your character…
That cursed countryball looks better than most of todays countryballs (im talking about like countryball stickers and whatever stateballs is doing with countryballs"
i saw people use USA without glasses or UK without the top hat or a monocle to distinguish them from today USA/UK and past USA/UK like for example in the countryball civil war USA had no glasses yet, so there's that i guess
also, good video
personally i give sunglasses to the us if its after 1945
as a polish person, the intro made me stand
Question am I allowed to draw military branches too?
For official polandball reddit comics, no. Only counties (past and present), 1st level subdivisions of countries (states and provinces), supernational organisations, and ethnic groups can be characters in a comic.
Omsk is a bird because it has one of the highest rates of drug trafficking if not the highest
3:32 This is actually profanation of flag of my own country. I will not profanate any flag, including Australia too. This rule is actually offensive against countries that "should be upside-down".
Don’t follow rules. Remember, this is art and you can literally do whatever you want.
Singapore's a triangle, Israel's a cube, and Kazakhstan's a brick. Do I dare ask why?
israel is just jewish physics, that's all ik
@@sebz447 Jewish physics, huh? That's actually hilarious.
yea lol
also Singapore is a triangle because Singaporeball felt like too much for people, so they called it "tringapore" instead, same with "kazakhbrick" I think
@@sebz447 That's their excuse? Kind of a lame one.
1:54 OK, but when making murica flag, can I use circles instead of stars?
When trying to post a comic on the reddit: you cannot. I also think it looks better when you at least try to draw some stars!
@@spelticup OK much thank
@@TheBigGuyBillyBobalso if you can't draw 50 miniscule stars (I cant either lol) then you can just put the number 50 and then a star
@@sebz447 That... is literally what he said not to do...
@@TheBigGuyBillyBob 1:53 bruh 💀💀💀
I think Noideaanimations was one of the first to put mouths onto countryballs, I remember watching his video years ago but unfortunately he doesn't post anymore
love this lol
thank you!
5:50 what's the music?
this is my own song! still unreleased
Me trying to find a countryball artist that draws Poland upside down in 2023:
there's quite a few!
I used to mix up the order until I realized the actual order (acc. to the PB community)
idk if this is ok but whenever the *balls* are holding something I like to give them a round hand to hold it, if their not holding something they don’t have the hands at all.

Is it ok, for the copy pasting flags, to add a mesh? By this i mean to distort the flag in ways to make it fit and look good. An example would be the mesh form to specifically adjust the shape of the added image. Is this ok?
for posting comics on r/polandball, it is not okay, you must draw the flags by yourself.
for your own drawings, you can do what you want, but I personally think drawing the flag from scratch looks nicer most of the time
@@spelticup yeah your right, i tested it out and all I can say is it looked better in my head, the only reason why i would ever have to use a real flag if it’s super detailed (e.g Ethiopian empire) but only for tracing so it keeps the “charm”
@@Rangadus you don't need to worry about perfect detail for those types of flags. it's more charming anyways when drawn by hand, as long as it's done with care
as a ( maybe ) polandball artist you're very correct
i draw furry often now since im one but I still draw Polandball in ocassions
Only Brazillians add the Oakley mirrored sunglasses to Brazilball, it's a fashionable detail some foreigners misses
Recently the Soviet Union has been depicted with a golden eye. Any ideas?
Countryballs is the reason I can draw circles lmao
You forgot the rectangle germany
