Guss will not be told what and what not to do
hahahha i love this
Hahahahaha.
but how am i suppose to draw everything with a reference, from like you know, comics like idk??
@@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.
“Any stupid baby can do this” is a surprisingly motivating quote.
I can't do this... guess even a stupid baby is better than me...
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
Yes
Literally his insults motivate me
*Tries and doesn't improve.*
Guess I'm stupider than a baby
love how aggressively positive this is
If there has a a semi military art school he gonna be the best teacher
To be honest he is trying to help us improve art by being such a jerk I think this is his tough-love/passive aggressive approach. (My opinion)
Same
Threatening us with helpful tips
I think the aggressiveness works really for some people.
"Don't you ever draw anything without a reference" - Words to live by.
Lived my life doing the opposite, RIP.
Being a references slave is tight!
KiryTF I can’t draw anything without reference 💀
I need to drill that quote in my head
Need a reference for expert drawing. I might post a video soon.
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!"
DRAW EVERYTHING WITHOUT A REFRENCE
Shit.. I messed it up
Live by it
NGMI ever
Draw with reference and the world draws with you..draw without reference and you draw alone.
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"
That's not reverse bullying. That's just straight up normal bullying.
Lol that’s tough love you babies- keep on drawing!
@@reanetsemoleleki8219 but ist not. Because bullying goes nowhere, here whats happening is teaching, in a way of some ohers do bullying... its complicated :D
@@kyraakira7933 he's just your youtube anime rival, he motivates you by acting like an ass but also makes sure you keep growing.
@@npc6817 yeah exactly, and everyone needs one in her/his life :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.
That's not what's happening. He puts on an asshole persona and that appeals to you. The content is solid but I find his gimmick is distracting.
@@p_dusty5451 Well I guess its based on peoples tastes, lol
i remember watching an artist "describing her process" video and nothing was explained at all, it was all just fluff
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 )
@@reanetsemoleleki8219 it's only like, idk, a tsundere?
You legit come off as a classic 80's "No bullshit counselor" type guy in your vids, love that.
I feel my stupid little baby polly pocket mind maturing little by little with your fantastic tutoring Ethan. Thank you!!!
Why are there no reply’s
“Then you see the character kicking a dog and you know he’s bad”
RIP Danny, you were a good dog
Danny was my fav character in part 1 :(
RIP Danny and Iggy😭

DIOOOOOOOO
I've met so many beginning artists who put themselves down and go, "it's not real art because I used a reference :(" like nO
that is the EXACT reason i stopped using references and now I feel very stupid
arrghh me too! I used to hate using reference because I thought it was useless and it made me weaker, somehow.
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.❌
@@babzsichu Amen!! I wish more people would recognize that :(
theres a difference between using a reference and tracing every nook and cranny of someone else's art and claiming it as your own.
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
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.
"from the bridge of the nose that goes down and thats the neck"
me: oh fawk I learned something today
YEAH finally i know where to put a neck
Me too!
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
@@amychi_ In which video? Been studying hands. They look good, but not enough yfm
I THOUGHT I WAS THE ONLY ONE WHO DIDN'T KNOW HOW TO DRAW NECK
I always learn a lot with your videos but I laught so much more! Thanks for your content :)
I’m being serious!
@@EthanBecker70 dont cry little baby.
I'm kidding, forgive me.
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
best comment
Do you have any tips for someone who just started drawing from zero? i am not able to pay for classes or anything like it
@@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
STEVEN RED Look up Drawabox that website will teach you the fundamentals for Drawing
Poko
Thank god, my tiny little baby hand needed some holding.
Seriously, references are CRUCIAL! Where did the notion that referencing was cheating come from?
Probably from confusing it with tracing
From *original charactur dunotstil*
From humans
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.
@@Pcgamingfixes I think the point is to be safe while starting out then go all out when you're good or confident enough on your own skill
Yes, never treat us like lil babies, say it straight to my face, I wanna learn 😤
Right!
Grandma is sooo precious.
lmaoooo this dude funny as shit i love when people make learning engaging
Exactly
I love that youre speedy and energetic. I can't pay attention to people who talk about nonsense for half an hour before the video even starts. Bless
Here are the artists he lists:
Shiyoon kim
Jin kim
Alberto mielgo
Good luck and practice away!
Thanks, you are the hero we needed
Thank you!!
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.
I hear you man!! Did the same damn thing. :(
Exactly!!!
same here
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.
Well done 👏
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.
My two grandmas are now gone, may they RIP... your granny is now my granny, I’ve decided.
Why does this man feel like the uncle that you show your anime drawings too when your 13, then just goes on a tangent about art.
I love it
7:23 Never realized I would learn art lesson's from felix's minecraft series but Im all for it
yeah haha me too
This makes me feel so much better using references every time I go to draw.
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!
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.
He's grossly honest.... We really need that.
Why does he talk like somebody edited an already existing video into a TH-cam poop
He thinks in keyframes, his body is the rendering codec.
I think it is the music hahahaha
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.
In the middle of an art block, man is this helpful! I feel like I always forget the fundamentals or what I know. Thanks for this video
Your grandma made me laugh out loud despite my crippling depression.
You, my friend, have earned yourself a new subscriber.
I feel like I'm being coached with some type of art workout routine montage and at the end I'm going to raise my stylus to the sky in victory.
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.
These are definitely the most entertaining drawing tip videos, aside from also being great solid advice
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.
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.
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 👌
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 love that you bring your grandma and your dog into your videos and how informative they are. Your number 1 dude
your vibe is absolutely perfect thank u for teaching my lil baby self
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
Parts with your granny was absolutely adorable. Big thanks to both of you!
Best art channel ever. Legit great art advice from a teacher with great humor
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 WAS LITERALLY ABOUT TO COMMENT HOW TO PRACTICE YOU ARE A SAINT
ethan, your insight makes you an international treasure. thank you for all the hand holding you provide us babies
The 80's vibe is strong with this one.
Great tutorial, and advice.
8:51
you thought this was about art,
but it was about me DIO!
Me: What is the point of life?
Ethan: 8:18
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
Very recently discovered your channel, and you have swiftly become one of my favourites. Love the content, very informative!
BRO. BRO. THE BRIDGE OF THE NOSE NECK THING.
LOWKEY. FYE ADVICE.
I tried it out and im quaking
I honestly can't believe people are against references. How? WHY?
They've helped me so much in my art journey.
Glad youtube recommended this to me. Thank you for the straight-to-the-point advice on how to improve.
I freakin love this guy. Thanks for all of your raw expertise, Ethan!
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 :^>
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
This was the most entertaining art/drawing video I've seen so far
this dude is way better than the teachers i had in college. he's straight to the point and is real with you
i feel like im in art military. i like it.
Literally THE Best Teacher™, this is exactly what I need to hear
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
This may be the best video i've ever watched. Thank you!
6:56 “you can look at all the mistakes that you’ve done”
*looks in mirror*
Your granny is perfect. And vid is perfect as always. Also, huge thanks for linking the artists, I worried that I didn't catch the names!
Straight to the point..no sugar coating..no bullshit.
Love it.
You are the kind of teacher I needed. I am learning so much from your videos. Also you have a knack for motivating me.
I actually find faces facing forward to be more difficult than tilted!
2:40 " I've stolen these guys styles so much" hahahaha
i came across your channel yesterday and i am so glad i found you, your the very first channel that taught me so much in just one day and i love the way your videos are funny but i can still learn from them even if you make things funny! keep on posting more amazing videos i love them!
omg i needed this
- something i tell myself with every EB art vid
you're like the bob ross of the character designing world
bgm “80’s New Edition Pop Synth” ❤️
The world needs more people like you
Wow, a lot of really great advice. Thank you and your Grandma!
My goodness he talks just like his granny!
Why does he look so cool and like my dad at the same time
May be because your dad is cool
@@belu_4044 That *is* true
watched loads of videos , ben drawing for a while. just to find out its all about the right teacher. 1 new sub here
dear ethan, thank you. thank you for those videos where you put our silly ass down, and teach to all of us the simple basics. thank you. really
Your grandma seems like a good character I love her design. Lol
"Don't you ever draw anything without reference!"
This is my first time watching your channel and i loved it.
You are such a good youtuber, artist and human being.
Please keep doing what you're doing, ily
The music is kinda distracting, but I did learn something. So, thank you.
Me: **comes for drawing advice**
Also me: **comes away with excellent writing advice AND excellent drawing advice**
Funny...love your grandma....i wish I had someone who had my back like you do...blessed!
This was so frantic and chill at the same time, I love it. Great peptalk! Great jacket! Great grandma! (even though her dog gave me a jumpscare) I'll happily subscribe so I can get more content to get hype to before drawing, and more great tips.
8:55 was that a flippin JoJo's reference while i'm trying to get *LEARNT* ?
Granny: a cop show-
Me: BROOKLYN NINE NINE?!?!
Your videos bring me so much joy!! Thank you for intense positive ENERGY and I love how no fucks but at the same time all the care you give us! 🔥
lol The way you explain or talk about subjects reminded me back to school when I took Character Design class and Elements of Design class which probably kicked my butt the most. I still remember those lectures as tough as the teacher ways it helped me understand character design.
Is that uncle arroon in the thumbnail
Ethan, I cant concentrate on your words with that music playing in the background.
love your videos man. doing my best to soak in every bit of wisdom your laying on us
I keep coming back to this stuff.
And I feel so juch more lurned
