I never comment, but I really appreciate this. I’ve been in a rut with my art for about a year now, and it’s been a struggle to fight thoughts of “If I hadn’t stopped drawing, I would be an expert by now.” When I say this video has completely changed my outlook, I truly mean it. Some of the techniques you’ve shown I had been doing subconsciously, but didn’t understand how to fully apply them. The eraser became my best friend.. and the product is hundreds of unfinished pieces because I was too afraid to “ruin” them. Thank you for reigniting my confidence! Keep up the great work! (:
That's so awesome and sometimes it just takes that little spark to get going again.
You worded my thoughts exactly. After eraserhell i began to draw with inks and my pieces were almost never finished since i spent too much time pondering how im ruining it.
Lol your chanil has 1 coment
I've started taking my art more seriously and the "don't draw with your eraser" thing has been a great reminder
I'm happy to hear you're taking it seriously but just remember to have fun. Don't overdo it and draw what you enjoy.
You can draw with an eraser though, just dont erase things that are errors and do it for effect.
Aww congrats ❤❤
Beside the very helpful tips for creature design, another aspect of these videos I'm grateful to see is the speed that it takes you to develop a piece. I know you'd be working faster if you weren't occasionally demonstrating stroke technique or teaching/speaking while drawing, but that scope is completely lost for newer or less patient artists that just see the finished piece.
So thank you for the reminder that even professional artists need to take their time.
WHERE ON EARTH HAS YOUR CHANNEL BEEN AND WHERE THE HELL ARE ALL OF YOUR SUBSCRIBERS?!
LOL. Well for starters, I began the channel a decade ago but left it sitting. I just now resurrected it in May. That's why subscribers are just now coming in. It's been crazy, man.
Same thing I was thinking!!! True artist. Where do I sign up for classes? Need to sign up asap
@@bobbyrebholz2183your the only artist on yt where I showed immediate improvement and felt like I was actually learning
Great video...my biggest struggle is free flowing things...water, clouds, hair, fur ..I can'tgrasp it for some reason.
But your video here was great 👍🏾 gave me some real help in area I struggle 🙌🏾
Thanks for sharing!!
You should do some paleoart and use these techniques on some dinosaurs, maybe you could draw a velociraptor or another dromaeosaur (Raptor)
14:53 ONLY 2 HOURS??? you are a master that would've taken me at least 6 lol
These have been a big help. I always get caught up with how to proceed with my art. Leave your ego at the door when you draw kind of thing. Never really looked into layering when drawing, but it makes sense when one stops and thinks about it. Thanks for the feather demo. Looking forward to the next one.
I am a 62 year old woman. When I see you working, it reminds me of the grotesque drawings I saw in Holland of Leonardo da Vinci in the Teyler museum in Haarlem. Such beautiful details 👍🌷. I definitely will follow your lessons.and try to take my drawings to a next level.
I don’t have to make a carrier out of this, but I simply love it. Greetings from Holland🌷🌷🌷
Oh wow! Holland. Thanks for subscribing.
Blob fish isn’t hideous(( it literally looks like a normal fish when it’s in the natural habitat
Huge thanks to artist like you who shared your knowledges on TH-cam platform. It helps clear shade of doubt for some of us beginners for sure. Very informative videos and thanks again from your new subsriber!
You're welcome. The biggest goal for this channel is to be like a virtual assistant for artists.
Ohh those drawings are pretty good..
"lemme adjust my camera so you can see detail"
OH MY GOODNESS THE AMOUNT OF DETAIL THAT APPEARED. I was so sure zooming in would still be blurry but damn that detail was sharp even on a 1080p video.
Thanks. I have a camera picked out that I will be getting in the beginning of March. Right now, I just film everything on a Google Pixel 6.
And finally, this is the day where I find someone who hold the pencil the same way I do it: the pencil on top of the pinky and ring fingers.
I feel happy
Love it, very helpful! I was never really good with shading and layering and I think one of the biggest reasons contributing to my struggle, was/is my impatience.
I realized, not only do I need this techniques, I also need to work on myself haha!
Glad it was helpful!
Brilliant tut ! Thanks , that answered my question about feathers perfectly. I do a lot of nature, birds, animals, flowers and leaves plus everything in between! This will help with the realism that I’m missing . Great job and congratulations on your monetisation buddy, you deserve it. Cheers.
Thanks, man! What a crazy ride this past week has been.
Thank you so much for putting all these videos together! I’m a complete newbie and love learning from you. Could you please do some more on fur (especially the shaggy clumpy fur on the underside of the creature in this video, Im hoping to practice a few wolves soon. Thanks a again
Subbed yesterday hoping for this lesson - keep it up! I’m just starting and your work is the direction where I want to get my art!
Rock on!
Your an incredible artist!! Thank you so much for continuing videos
Thank you so much 😀
Realistic but not hyper-realistic, just like I like it!
In my opinion a drawing has more charm if it look like a drawing and not a photo.
This seems like an enjoyable approach to draw, thanks so much for sharing 👌
You're very welcome!
These type of videos are great! Simple and informative
Glad you like them!
Congratulations on your achievement! I think we all agree it's absolutely fitting because these videos are so awesome and helpful! I just found your channel this past week and I'm hooked!
Thank you so much!
the moment I saw your style I subscribed automatically. keep making videos man.
Thanks for the sub!
Really glad I subbed recently. I feel like this came just in time for my own story project. It’s being illustrated via computer, but the fundamentals of what you’re offering are so incredibly valuable. Looking forward to the slimy skin segment lol
Hey thanks for the sub! I also can't wait to do the slimy skin tutorial!
Funny how in art school they exclusively teach to NOT TURN THE PAPER! 😂
I never understood it.
@@bobbyrebholz2183 It's kind of more convenient if you learn to not turn the papar and hand gets more stable because of hand being in the air - also benefits in painting and like that.
But annoying AF to get used to it.
🤔 when i try to shade really far back on the pencil like this, everything always ends up looking really grainy. And when i choke up on the pencil more and don't use the flat edge as much, i just get a bunch of dark, hard lines. Is this a problem with the type of paper I'm using?
Thanks! Great video 👍
It's definitely not the paper but moreso, the light touch. If your paper is grainy itself, just make sure your pencil is sharp and you have to make twice as many passes for the value.
That makes sense. Thanks so much for taking the effort to respond! 👍
You tutorials have been a big blessings for beginners like me! Thank you so much for sharing your valuable knowledge with us!
Thank you so much for this, I can't wait to start (finish) my eagle so I can play around.
I cant find a black prismacolor 935 in the uk. Any uk people found a great alternative so I dont have to pay £16+ postage?
I tried this technique with a deinonychus. Only problem was that the coating of value wasn’t as smooth as I hoped. Maybe it was the fact that I used grey toned paper or I just need more practice. Nonetheless this was very informative. I’m definitely using this for my other dinosaur depictions 👍🏼
Edit: so I think the reason as to why the coating wasn’t as smooth was because I draw WAY too small lmao. Also, if I bought Bristol board would it be more difficult to coat since its pure white and not cream?
Vry helpful, in the future can I request a complete full bodied bird in some flight position please and thanks
This might be an odd question, but did you ever struggle with the act getting yourself to sit down and create art at some point in your earlier learning years?
All throughout gradeschool I was considered the arty one, but something stopped after I graduated highschool 5 years ago. Since then I’ve only gotten 3 paintings started and I have never been able to get myself to finish them.
Art is very important to me still, and I continue to consider myself an artist, so it’s sad to me that I have let my skills stagnate as I can’t shake this mental block
What part of the brain 🧠 activates to be able to produce such fine-tuned replications?😮
Amazing drawings! Thank you for the tips
I wanna see your bottom of heart😂
Cool art brother
Thanks, man!
Man i do like your technique.
Thank you and have great holidays
Same to you!
Hi. Jim from Madrid, Spain (a fellow artist and a New Yorker expat living abroad).
Great tutorial on fur and feathers!
Best tips for me are creating the overall under layer of tone first, how to hint instead of trying to replicate each hair/feather (though it is also important to detail some of the feathers and fur wherever needed for greater realism) and very cool how you work on the tips of the feather to highlight/hint the illusion of volume.
Can't wait to watch the next video on shiny wet skin, etc.
And thank you very much for sharing your knowledge and talent with us, specially how you do it (very clearly and very dedicated on the didactic side of teaching).
You have a subscriber for life.
Cheers from Sunny Spain!
😁👍😎✌
Wow, thank you. Madrid. That's awesome.
I love this! I'm currently studying game design and want to go into the direction of either concept, character or creature design and these videos REALLY help with educating myself for creature design!! Keep it up man, I'm really looking forward to the series
Is this helpful? Of course it's helpful! My god, I love this channel and the way you explain. Thank you for sharing this. 🙏🏻👍🏻❤️🔥🦤
You're so welcome!
I am so happy i found this channel! I'm excited to try these techniques
Hope you enjoy! Let me know how it goes.
A tremendously helpful lesson! So excited for the future ones like Wrinkled skin, slimy skin etc etc more good stuff on the way! 🤩
Slimy skin is gonna be a fun one.
thank god you have a video talking about fur you helped me so much with textures and creatures and you explain stuff amazingly.
Glad I could help!
Hey may i ask what kind of paper and sketchbook are you using ? So far ive hardly worked with paper i actually enjoy using...
Moleskine
Really great! I love how you explain it, I am watching all your videos. Above all, I like the animal drawings, would like to see more of them! Thanks and kind regards from Switzerland, Bas
Thank you so much 😀
Another Drawing Sessions. In 2 days OMG I am so glad I found your channel. Your teaching & technique + tips it's been so helpful. Thank you. Blessed
You are so welcome!
These videos are so amazing and helpful i have read a lot of books to learn drawing but almost none of them teach how to render the details they all just say work big to small and these videos have been very helpful
Happy to hear that and I'm glad you like them!
Hello, thank you very much for your videos, they are very instructive, could you activate the subtitles of this video, thank you very much for your work
Thank you. I have subtitles as automatic. I wonder if there's a glitch.
Thank you for these tutorials.
Hi, I don't comment much, but you reminded me how to draw, I used to decide on every procedure, and I was looking for an intention, I don't know why, but I often rush the drawing and as I don't see that it's not plastic, I'm disappointed, I'm more interested in Line art, because I used to do quite a lot of shadowing, but now that I'm learning line art I can't shade again, I'd like to combine it, Thank you for your videos, I discovered you yesterday and you're great! Would you tell us/me how to keep calm and not to judge the result, but just to create and not suppress creativity? thanks for video, very inspiring!
I think the best thing to do is trust the process. Also, allow yourself to scribble.
Love this! Thanks so much!
You are so welcome!
Have you ever considered grey tone paper. Using the mid grey as the fill in value. Check out the artist Phil Mumby, he draws a lot of birds and uses charcoal and white pencil and ball point pen.
I have used it, yes. I like Moleskine the best.
Thank you for teaching your craft and helping to pass on this beautiful knowledge.
You are so welcome
What kind of pencils do you use? And where can you get mole skin paper notwbooks?
4b and Moleskine paper. You can get them on Amazon.
Do you have like a real time drawing video for us to see the all the process?
That's literally most of my videos
Thank you!
this is great, too much "tutorials" on youtube not being a tutorial and just bragging on how much theory they know without really explaining it methodically
I'm just trying to think like a student and produce tutorials that physically show you the correct movements.
I agree with what you said about using erasers! I use erasers a lot less than i did as a beginner and it forced me to slow my process down and think more, rather than make a mistake, erase it, and repeat. 😁👍
It also let me be more relaxed with drawing and not strive for absolute perfection.
Soo happy your channel is taking off, and can’t wait to see where you take this. I hope it includes teaching fundamentals and creature creations too.
Thanks, man. That's why I already have an entire playlist dedicated to creature design😉
I see that and I'm working my way through them all :)
@@bobbyrebholz2183
Nice techniques! Can you list the supplies you use including pencils and paper. Thanks!
Sure,
4b
Black Prismacolor
Moleskine
Amazing drawings! Thank you for the tips
Glad you like them!
Thanks so much. I felt like I learnt so much in only 30minutes 😊
Glad it was helpful!
Thank You! For your instruction. I liked the top 10 mistakes beginner artists make. I’ve been painting for four years but just began sketching a month ago. I’ve overcome my resistance and enrolled in an art institute. Thanks Terry from Saratoga Springs NY.
You should do a video on doing long fur
For your creature design class what are we required to have or need to sign up and complete the course?? because some of us don't have home computers or laptops just our phone paper n pencils
Technically, as long as you can join our Discord and post your drawings by taking pics of them and uploading to our student work section, you can still take it. If you can listen in on the lessons, that's okay by me. Please visit www.creaturedesignworkshop.com/
I don’t usually comment on anything but when I do then there is stuff to be said. I can’t thank you enough for this lesson as I sat down today thinking that I will not be able to give texture to my birds I watched this and it inspired me to produce one of the greatest pieces I have done in a very long while. My gratitude is through the roof for you making this. Your pieces are always inspiring and your lessons stick with me better than anything I have heard before! Thank you Mr. Bobby for a fantastic lesson.
❤❤❤🎉😊
could you please do a video on how to draw whiskers. Is it a matter of being super careful to avoid them while layering, masking them beforehand, or using white to highlight them afterwards?
His voice vaguely resembling Seth Rogan itches my brain in the best way possible.
Great video - very insightful and educational.
Not a heron but a cormorant
Really good drwaing skills. Can you do some in color maybe?
Yes!
Thanks for the video it helped me draw birds better than before.
Glad I could help!
This really clicked with me. I'll definitely be watching more of your videos!
FYI, Blobfish look like regular fish when alive and underwater. The change in pressure causes them to look like that.
I love watching your videos, but the audio is very low and if i max out my volume I still can't hear the best from you. Can you edit the volume perhaps?
Working on it!
@@bobbyrebholz2183 Ty
Your routine is merging with mine, I appreciate the time it takes to lay out all these points of view in a chronological fashion.
The things that help the most are when you stop to breakdown your most detailed thoughts.
Hi, I tried your techniques and they're quite helpful but I'm getting speckled blacks where the graphite doesn't penetrate the rough microbumps in the paper, does this not happen with moleskin paper? I'm using ordinary copy paper and or illustration board also what sharpener do you use?
Usually the smoother the paper, the easier it is to fill those small gaps and cover the bumps. There's other paper that is good, too such as Graphics 360 and Letraset.
@@bobbyrebholz2183 awesome
That dinosaur bird above the one you are drawing is the coolest drawing of a bird I've ever seen
I'm getting back in to drawing and cant draw that well but im aiming for realistic art and your tutorials are amazing.
Would love to see some techniques for longer hair so I can draw cats. We have a few cats at home but I've been in love with tigers since I was a very small boy and im now 40. So, I'd really love to see some techniques for different expressions and how to draw longer hair nicely
Great suggestion!
@@bobbyrebholz2183 I thought, close up hair would need to be a different technique to hair that's more distant or in the background. Like, drawing hair in clumps to cover an area would be a different technique than close up fine looking hair.
If you know a good way to do that id like to see a vid on it :)
Alright dude let’s see what you can do for Bigfoot, maybe walking toward us coming through the mist
Ahhhh Bigfoot! That's on my sketching to-do list.
@@bobbyrebholz2183 yeah that’s my go to mythical creature. Have you done any vids on coloring or a colored medium? Anyway, love your stuff man.
This really helped me out cus I was struggling with drawing feathers and fur
Love your videos!!! Great teacher! Thanks for taking the time to teach!!!
Abonata! Ai stilul meu! Eu prefer pixul negru, insa
Thanks!
Please consider a tutorial on drawing crustaceans
I've had multiple requests for that. Noted!
Wow!!! Congratulations on being monetized. Quick question for a complete novice. Would you recommend joining for a senior citizen who can barely draw a stick figure ? Hope to hear from you soon. Enjoy your holiday.
Yes, definitely
If you sign up, I can teach you basic principles to design. But you can also join the Discord for free and learn from other members.
@@bobbyrebholz2183 Thanks so very much. See you after Thanksgiving.
" fur and feathers flow off the forehead" , true
You could name it the "Four F's technique"
I just found you and Pls teach more lessons about shading, sketching, hatchings, value, contrast, perspective with completing this drawing
ONE DAY I WANT TO DRAW LIKE YOU !!!
You got it!
I so wanted this video Thank you.Please do fur of a cat.
Should’ve been monetized sooner, love the content
It finally happened!
You've inspired me to draw animals again like I used to do in highschool 💕 congratulations on the channel ✨
That's awesome!
Another brilliantly inspiring lesson! I can already see how I can use your method of laying down black pencil over graphite would also work for say, the stripes on a tabby cat…I’ve just tried to order Prisma pencils for the UK. Yikes! £15 delivery charge! However Etsy UK do single pencils, (but not the 935 you use- I hope the ebony is similar) Your teaching method is completely absorbing for folks like me- thanks.
The pricing varies so much. I'm working on getting links set up for you guys so that a discount can be applied
Thanks so much! This is straight down the avenue I want to pursue. Much appreciated and beautiful work. BTW, I have a crooked ear too lol! It’s mounted about 1/4” lower than the other. Your ear comment made me grin.
Dang ears lol!
I’ve never seen your channel before. You are an amazing artist. I’m not a creature artist. Your general drawing tips are top notch! Thank you!
Thank you so much 😀
I'm really happy to have discovered your channel, you made me wanting to draw again!
I've just bought a pencil and will probably grab an old notebook thanks of you!
I'll religiously watch your content many time !
I'm really happy for you that your content can enjoy greater visibility. I think you deserve it! : )
Wow thanks man!
Your process is pleasant to watch and very creative yet concise; creates magical outcomes. Reminds me of Mike Sass fantasy work mixed with Di Vinci portrait building. Excellent style!
Wow, thank you!
As a possible future member. I’d love to be able to get feedback and be able to ask questions every once in a while… something to think about :) love your art so much. Enjoy your thanksgiving
Thank you! We're all here to learn and constructive feedback is king.
Thank you so much for these tutorials! I´m so glad I found you recently, you make everything so approachable. I use chalk pastels, but I think the techniques will be just as helpful. I´m learning on my own, so no formal training at all, and sometimes it is difficult to see what I am doing "wrong". The fur I drew often came out more "doodle-y" and tangled than I wanted, and after watching this, I think it´s because I drew them too close together and lost the lighter spaces. I would have never come up with the first few base layers either. I´m off to practice with some small beavers and a toucan, thanks again! :)
Put in that work everyday and you will notice a significant difference in the first two weeks! Just keep going.
I am so happy I subscribed! After over 6 years I got my sketchbook out. Thanks so much for your vids, they really help. ❤🇨🇦
That is awesome!
Another fantastic video, Bobby!
Great pace and simple explanation! Keep it up!
Just in time, homie. I just started drawing humanoid birds for a story I’m writing. Thank you for the video!
That's awesome!
I could watch this for hours, so interesting and so amazing at the same time ! I hope I can learn from this and give it a try myself one day. Absolutely fascinating drawings.
Thank you! Cheers!
