@@traviswatters6077 oh what this was not the original comment i posted this on, oh TH-cam. But sorry about that, my wordings off that was my bad for the misunderstanding I was saying like, creating your own comics. Comics require drawing the same person over and over. So i was trying to say it would be tedious trying to find references for that special pose, or that special expression, head angle, etc. The comment i was posting this on was about "not drawing anything without a reference", something around the lines, and i was just confused on how you would apply that to creating comic pages.
@@Stardivamama You maybe know this already but I would say create extensive character sheets. Sketch out your characters in those angles you're for sure to use and also in the basic angles. It's another great way to get to know the character and push them to their limits. I think if you sketch them enough times, you'll find it easier to see/draw them in the position you want. You're also essentially creating your own reference sheets. But also if you're unsure of the pose in the first place- when in doubt use a reference. lol Take a pic of yourself. I think that's the most useful and ready-at-hand reference. (Definitely check out Mike Crilley's videos if you haven't. He talks a lot about how to create comics.) And I also agree with the previous person. Sketch and draft out your pages first before moving to the final.
Ey you, yeah you right above me I know a stupid baby, I’ve been a stupid baby, you are not a stupid baby, only a stupid baby would think they’re a stupid baby Motivation 💯 lol
Don't you ever draw anything without reference!" Don't you ever draw anything without reference!" Don't you ever draw anything without reference!" Don't you ever draw anything without reference!" Don't you ever draw anything without reference!"
I kind of like the way you teach it's kind of like getting reversed bullied it feels like you punched me in the face state what i'm doing wrong in a form of a insult then nek minnit you pull out a whiteboard from out of nowhere and go "here's how you do it.... YOU BABY"
@@reanetsemoleleki8219 but ist not. Because bullying goes nowhere, here whats happening is teaching, in a way of some ohers do bullying... its complicated :D
I like how this isn't just you talking over one unrelated speed drawing with a cutesy voice. You're cutting the bs and getting to the point and telling us how to improve. I love it.
You can learn from speed painting videos by watching it at 0.5 speed.I really did it and learned.I guess it’s just about taste.(It’s also good to have straight advice though )
i just discovered this guy and im madly in love. reminds me of my internship boss who pushed us so hard we didnt wanna do our work anymore but at the end we came out the way we wanted to be when we started drawing. Everyday in the morning when we'd arrive at the studio at about 7 A.M, he would make us do life drawing for 2 hours and begin our work at 9 A.M, which really loosened us up for the day. And then later during our internship he gave us the exact advice this guy is giving to the world right now that if you like someone's work and you want your portfolio to look like theirs, you study their work and you copy. You already know all your fundamentals and ins and outs. Don't be ashamed of copying your favorite artist, it really pays off.
I love how your finding new sources of humor I was scared that the humor was gonna get kinda stale But your personality and sense of humor is more than that
Animation courses: Proko-in dept anatomy class; Ethan Becker-career tips and simplification; Allan Becker-Flash fundamentals; Aaron Blaise-Tvpaint and trad animation; Howard Whimhurst-animation analysis. My training is complete
@@nicolasmaciel2368 i have zero experience in drawing so you what i did i don't pay for drawing lessons cause I'm dirt poor so i watch lots of lots of lots of videos tutorials about drawing and practice practice and practice till I finaly gotten better but keep in mind this not an easy journey it's a long and hard journey but if you have the will and determination to do it and you dedicate yourself to drawing you eventually succeed
I think many of those cases could have happened because they confuse drawing from a reference with tracing. Tracing does have a very negative stigma to it, in my opinion (everyone has their own on this topic) rightfully so. I've seen artists confuse the two before, but, gotta remember, using a reference does not equal tracing.❌
He teached me about how to draw hands yesterday, I used the technique on an adoptable I was about to sell and surprisingly worked, now I know how hands work, I will love this man until death
When I was like 10 I was tracing dbz characters and was mad fun of for it. Then I started drawing without any references to be original and they thought I traced it. Can’t win just do what works lol.
Your videos are the most in depth look into vis dev on TH-cam and as an art student concentrating in vis dev I am eternally grateful. I like how you look at the industry realistically rather than either making it seem like an impossible hurdle or an easy 1-2-3 step process.
6:20 Best advice I didn't listen to for 15 years. Guess what, drawn more in a month than I have in 15 years and gotten exponentially better since i.... STARTED USING REFERENCES OH MY GOD. WTF WAS WRONG WITH ME.
Same honestly. I thought using a reference was considered weak or something similar. So I just kept going off memory until recently where I finally been using a reference. My art improved so much.
This is the first time I've actually felt I've learned something from a TH-cam video. Thank you for deconstructing the process, i feel so jazzed to start drawing again!
What i really abut Ethan's style of teaching is he tries to be funny and abrasive when really he's a sweetheart and trying to help people who are just as passionate about art to be able to get into the field.
I used to do this on almost all the art I did as a teenager when I was teaching myself. It felt kinda gross but... knowing it's actually a THING has made me very happy. I now draw anatomy from memory very easily.
Watching you has been really enjoyable. I used to draw all the time as a teenager, and I was really quite good drawing from reference, but I constantly felt bad that I couldn't 'draw from imagination' and felt like I wasn't actually good at art because I couldn't do that and got off of it. These videos have been making me want to get back into drawing. I know these videos are geared for folks who are wanting to get in the industry, but I've still been enjoying them.
Tracing in general is a great way for your hand to just get used to the lines that make up the character. Then studying the shapes and details will be easier. I also like drawing a grid over the character so i get a better sense of how the character looks in 3d 👌
I really do love his humour it’s like sorta “I’m better than you” but to a point you can tell it’s a joke and is basically going you can be as well and also meant to encourage artist and teach them if that makes sense
Last year i found your channel while I was a really new beginner Now i know the basics. I know how to draw but i don't know HOW to draw Re watching your videos gives me new information i couldn't understand before. You're awesome
This literally answered a question I asked a character designer earlier today. Thanks man. Also, I love the Kim guys, I look at their work almost daily.
I really like how you explain, show things and just do stuff I see people are afraid to show that would make them be called tracing when its referencing and I been learning a lot from just basic build ups with your videos and others. I love the videos you pop out, entertaining and educational with the whole, kicking you out the nest without fear attitude.
Ok for my final exam, at art school, i took inspiration from your characters for my project and... NOW you says "dont draw without reference!" ok, I must believe in it. I'm bound to believe. (I'm Italian, sorry for my eng, but I cook a good pizza, pls forgive me
Thank you !! I'm so sick of "guides" only showing how to draw pretty headshots on yt or dull-faced still life shots on paid guides. Ofc I can never be truly done experimenting with my fundamentals on drawing proportionate faces, but literally anywhere I look it's only a :-) face, or always in two different perspectives. I love(!) drawing stuff from unique angles, it's what really facinates me about art, although I'm still not that good at it. Now I have a list of different topics(not inktober bs I don't have time to think for that lmao), but of different skills I should be developing every day, and I'll add these points. (I already subconsciously started doing this due to some of your other videos too). Redrawing faces on-model is(now) my current main goal. Is it important to practice skeletal build too, or is getting the general body shape what's needed? Also idk if anyone even reads these comments, but if anyone wanna share and help each other keep on schedule/help improve I'd be down for that ! Anyways have a nice day to anyone who took their time to read this :^>
I know it’s not the point of the video, but I love the slight chromatic aberration Ethan added to his filming. Really fits the spider verse references.
Hey Ethan! i guess you get this a lot on your channel but damn thank you so much!! I literally just practiced doing studies using your "masking" or deconstructing the face into shapes like an hour ago and i ended up drawing a face leagues better than anything i've ever drawn before! [granted it still looked more comicbook western instead of dead-on hyper realism, it doesnt matter because of how much progress i felt was made in just one practice lol!] I always had the notion that i can better study a face if i drew over photos of faces or exhisting drawings in order to see how the face fits together, but i was mostly gun-shy and unable to do so because i thought i'd be thrown under the usual stigma of people thinking i only trace instead of trying to learn how the image is constructed (and even if i wasn't afraid of being mislabeled under that stigma, i had not framework nor point of reference to study the faces aside from just kind of measuring the distances and not retaining any knowledge each time i do so). I've never had so much fun drawing in a long time because i had this sinking feeling as if i was going nowhere in my training, and i guess i was practicing instead of perfectly practicing in those days. I love your presentation and stuff too with the old retro vaporwave aesthetic and how most of the content is easily relatable! i guess tldr thanks for uploading your awesome vids and in turn helping a developing artist who was under the weather get back on track! keep up the good work dude!
I have NEVER seen someone teach "breakdowns" before, its a completely new dimension to art I never ever explored. but yet, so pivotol I feel ashamed to say I never tried. (thats alot of never's) I was the guy that draws pretty pictures, but now I'll keep simple, and focus on key industry skills, I'd LOVE to work for any studio, but hey gotta start from somewhere!
I feel better now 😭 the best way I learned when I was a kid was to draw over the picture ("tracing") then I'd draw it. It helped me understand how lines were drawn and how it felt to draw them if that makes sense. I stopped doing that because kids would laugh at me and made me feel terrible. Good times.
Honestly man, one of the best videos you have made. Hands down one of the most important concepts in storyboarding is how characters interact with each other and i dont see NOBODY talking about being mindful of this. Keep up these amazing vids man. Also if you do see this, plz make more videos on Boarding. tytytytyty
"You little polly pocket stupid" is my new favorite insult. These videos are the most informative videos on drawing I've seen. They teach you how to learn, and my little baby brain really needed this
I was bored in my room and youtube recommended this video, I had doubts if watching this video or not, I decided to watch it.... It's the best fucking decision I've made in years
Finding your channel has been a wonderful struck of serendipity for me, got me out of almost a year long creativity block and into a productive and motivated state! Absolutely LOVE your approach!!
I swear that sometimes i was doing what you are explaning in this video and i was just feeling bad with myself cause i was always using references, but after see just 2 of your videos i'm feeling a lot better about the way i draw about the methods that i'm using and it's all thanks to you! You really inspire me, you just won one more suscriber, your content it's awesome and you're doing amazing! (Sorry about my sh*tty english)
Ethan: “DONT YOU EVER DRAW WITHOUT A REFERENCE!!” Me while watching this video and drawing without ref: I feel personally attacked... *deletes drawing*
