    "Put some beauty back into the world, because that's what we need to do as artists." That's my favorite line from the whole video. :) And also, I loved the part with the chimp watching the drawing (I studied anthropology in college so primates are especially fascinating to me). Thanks to you both for doing this video. -A

    Art school gave me fundamentals and structure, your channel "Aaron's Art Tips" gave me overnight improvements in areas I was not so good in, the episodes on "Clear Silhouette" and "Clear Character Expression" helped me to finish all future art assignments successfully, for one assignment I had to create an original character illustration, I decided to design a character with somewhat of a complex face, but with the tools I learned from your channel, it was externally easy to apply the simple "SMILEY FACE" expression and then add on all the details. Thank you Aaron for sharing your passions and skills with the me and the world. Bringing other skilled artists with their perspectives to your channel and website is greatly appreciated!

    Loved watching this; drawing at zoos, farms or livestock/dog shows is really fun. The interaction you had with that one chimp...wow. What an amazing experience to treasure. It was fun to see the different approaches and styles of your work vs Proko’s. Thank you both for sharing so much.

      I saw Proko's video with you, your approach towards drawing was so amazing I showed it my mother too. To be able to draw like you is like a dream altogether. I'm in my Art foundation year and inspiring people like you help me everyday. Thank you

  • @aviaja2008
    @aviaja2008 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    James Gurney, Aron Blaise, and Proko are maybe one of this century's most celebrated inspiring artists-teacher and we are so lucky that we are able to follow them on youtube and learn from the best. I will always just be an amateur artist because I started very late in my life to draw and paint. when I was 10 years old I sold out on big cat oil paintings but life happened and I took a very looooog break and began first to paint and draw again when I was late in my forties. Now I enjoy painting anything and everything, from cityscapes to landscapes, portraits, and wildlife and I also love storytelling and creating my own cartoons. Thank you for being my guide and my inspiration and thank you for being you, you got an awesome personality.

    What an amazing teaching video. I am so inspired to go out and just draw anything and everything. This video also helped me realize I really should focus more on learning anatomy before going for it. Thank you so much Aaron for posting this!!!

  • @eliannevdlinden6047
    @eliannevdlinden6047 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I love this video so much! I watched the one on Proko’s channel too. I used to draw a lot of animals when I was younger, but now I mostly draw people. This helped me remember how fun it was and it got me drawing them again, I still have difficulty with the anatomy of animals and expecially proportions... So it was helpfull how you approached drawing them

  • @abigaildeeks8328
    @abigaildeeks8328 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    I used to teach art lessons and took a group of kids to the zoo every day for a week. I used similar approach. I’d encourage them to get a quick gesture drawing of the animal first. Then observe the details and add them in. I found that teaching art gave me lessons in art as well. All great teachers learn from their students.

    Hi Aaron!
    This is just amazing!
    Recently one of my nephews asked me to teach him how to draw, and I started with some tips and tricks; but this is an excellent idea from where we can take good material to work with.
    Thanks so much sir! And congrats for meeting with Proko, it seems you both had a great time such as made a great team there at the zoo.
    Blessings!! :)

  • @aaronrutten
    @aaronrutten 6 ปีที่แล้ว +31

    Great tips, guys. I've been drawing animals and landscapes digitally using a Wacom tablet with a screen for a few years now and I enjoy it a lot. I personally use a similar technique to Stan's approach, focusing on primitive shapes and then building it up from there. And you are right about learning more each time you draw an animal. Birds are a little easier because I've drawn more of them than some of the other animals at the zoo, like a bear, which I found more challenging because I had never drawn one before. Have you done any plein air drawing on a digital device?

    two of three best artists that youn can find out on youtube Mr Aaron Blaise ,Proko and Jazza

    • @jamesjason8471
      @jamesjason8471 6 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Uhh Mark Crilley? he's way better than Jazza in every aspect.

    • @fruitels9310
      @fruitels9310 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      While Jazza might not be perfect, he gives a lot of young artists inspiration and a fun time that they will later associate with art in itself! He's great in his own way!
      Personally, I also like watching Challa. When he's serious he's really good at drawing but he also makes goofy videos so it's a perfect mix for me ^w^!
      But while Mark Crilley is great, he's never really inspired me the same way as Aaron (or even Challa). Idk.
      I admit he's a great artist, he is, and he's very helpful - but for some reason he's just never been what I, myself, has wanted.
      Idk, just trying to say that some people have different opinions and reasons as to why their opinion is what it is.
      Some people don't just seek out art skills in their favorites, they also seek out humor or the fun that will make them keep on watching, keep on learning.
      But some people though have extremely good art skills while they also have this kind and supportive aura surrounding them, and those people I _love_ watching as it gives me the motivation and inspiration that I might need sometimes!
      Aaron is kind of that to me, he seems really kind and helpful and he's so good at art and always makes things so interesting to watch it always makes me sit down and watch in awe, while after the video I'll be super inspired to practice some more!
