@@Willyoart I think he was self-taught so he tried reverse engineering a lot of art which led to dumb ideas. A lot of his earlier videos are just garbage. You have to just view his channel as a Journal rather than a tutorial channel. B/c even Sycra himself corrects a lot of his older videos but still leaves the older videos up. It's sad b/c it can confuse a lot of younger artist
I just found your channel and at first I was like "ugh another bigshot artist bein' all snobby about people's art-" and then I watched and I'm absolutely in love with the persona and parody and lighthearted sassiness with amazing tips and tricks. got me inspired to draw so kudos!
Heya for more artists id also like to mention some notes- 1. Open stances with hands to your sides shows no fear and lots of openess to approach, good for people without fear 2. Hands near face/upper torso usually are defensive and timid, maybe even uncomfortable, body language would show they dont want to be approached 3. When holding weapons, bats and other swinging objects are near the face when aggressive, even if they're not about to swing 4. Also when holding weapons such as knives, arm holding the weapon in an L shape near mid torso These are just some body language tips I learned from another video a bit ago, enjoy-
My favourite teachers/coaches are the ones that fight back (reasonably). You feel like you can speak your mind and makes it easier to bounce ideas off them.
You know, I like Ethan and all, I always have a laugh when he "roasts" other people, I know it's a joke *BUT* Marco's too wholesome for this, I'm almost triggered
I almost feel weepy rn; I’ve felt like I’m at a plateau with my work for a long time and now, after spending bout an hour doing professional studies with the lemon/favored side triangle and I feel like I’ve jumped to the next step. Thank you so much
That lemon slice tip is great! KChen is the man. Awesome presentation as always. 😂 You really blasted that clown fool with his good art and helpful channel! What a joke!
@@anildcosta1499 I know it's criticism and criticism is fine. But the joke is that he's acting incredibly rude and over-bearing, which is also fine because they're both in on it. I'm just saying don't have this attitude with artists you don't personally know who aren't in on the joke.
@@bugjams You know why he's making this kind of content? Because Ethan's art is so lacking he had to drag artists better than him to gain traffic and you know it's true.
Green C but he himself admits there's stuff he needs work on, he's just using someone else's art as an example on doing things differently, what does it matter if none of the artists mind it?
@@SaccharineHearts It makes young artists think that it's cool calling out other artists their method is wrong, an art community should be encouraging, even if it's a joke, it can rub off different way. He's using satire to mask his envy, making it look like a joke but deep inside he knows he has nothing better to offer, so he calls out flaws from others because he thinks beginners and noobs will support him, and it's working. Birds of the same feather flock together.
I don’t know if its tumblr or insta artists but i somehow got it into my head that references and drawing the masks was somehow cheating. Like, my art is really good when i do this, but i feel like an imposter and not a “real” artist.
That's likely gonna be tumblr, and it's the hardcore 'gourmet' artists what haven't bothered to improve beyond their natural talent, and don't want anyone to do better than them - at anything, if it can be helped. Mind you, these ideas have passed several memetic generations of people that believe it fully since the initial propagation, but that's basically how that shit started & blossomed back in 08/09-ish, though it had its roots in DevArt IIRC.
Maybe it's a shorthand to describe a bunch of your "triangles"(you and sinix are teaching) together to describe flow of action. Maybe his lemons is just someone just taking notes on a lot of studies and realized other people could use their "notes" on it
Tried out your lemon slices on something i never draw- animals. Took a photo of my cat, applied lemon slices- helped greatly with the dimensions and angles. Managed to replicate the shapes i wanted so much faster. Gonna use this method for my studies now. Thank you very much for the great advice!👍 PS: Bless your dog.
Marco simplified colour theory, lighting, framing and layout for me while you are helping me with posing, form clarity and actually thinking in terms of structure and just in general what to do and what not to do to help me learn faster and be more efficient in my process :D
so i don't know the guy and that's like the third video of his that pops up in my recommendation, and it took quite some time to understand that it's all a joke
I've been watching all your videos the past few days, and you've taken my art skills from like a 4 to a solid 6 maybe 7 in just those few days. Thank you so much!!
but damn arent melons 2d and only good for copying, not constructing? i mean, you can copy couple of picture from similar angles and then create your own characters but it wont make you think 3d. am i wrong? is this a legitemate way?
A drawing is both 3D and 2D, simultaneously. Your goal is to juggle both - 1. keep the form of a ribcage consistent and non-deformed 2. make its 2D shape visually appealing. Thinking about lemon slices will help you with the latter, for the former there is perspective.
okay got it if you are a student/trying to learn avoid some things and start doing in other ways to improve faster but if you are a pro you can do anything the way you want and doesn't matter at all
I have to tune out and sometimes outright skip half of these videos but then you get to the meat and it's just great to listen to and worth internalizing. I wouldn't go so far as saying I'm hate-watching it, but sometimes...
youre helpin me a lot. just 1 day of watching your vids like (3-4 vids only including this) and i improved by leaps and bounds. my deepest respect :) E-God
I watch plenty of tutorials about drawing and yes it's confusing me, and after watching your videos it's clearing my head and now I know what should I do
Kitaro Collent he’s been the missing link for me in understanding a lot of stuff. Somehow I can watch hours of stuff on a subject only for it to click within minutes of an Ethan video. I also like that he calls me baby 🥺
Because of Ethan I see lemons and triangles everywhere now. I've also tried squeezing lemon juice in my eyes. Thought being part lemon would help me see all the citrus in art. To all the other aspiring artists; stick to the lemons you already see.
I find that illustrators often don't capture the movement as well as an animator does even on one frame. Even for characters I don't intend on being animated I will give a go because it helps me guard their weight and personality through movement.

I like how his opinion of Marco starts from absolute distaste to land on wholesome respect.
Absolutely love your approach to art, and I find that your advice is really helpful especially mixed in with the chaotic wholesome vibe you give off

I clicked for the roast, I stayed for the lesson. Imma implement the lemon slices the next time I draw something.
“Deep space, we got a conspiracy theorist here” 😂😂😂
"As soon as he said psycho i thought of this picture of myself." hahahahahaha love this
Was wondering if you were going to do him lol
Instead of lemons, I have used creamy poop and it also works.
I think he's just making lemonade with art and that a good thing.
but damn arent melons 2d and only good for copying, not constructing? i mean, you can copy couple of picture from similar angles and then create your own characters but it wont make you think 3d. am i wrong? is this a legitemate way?
A drawing is both 3D and 2D, simultaneously. Your goal is to juggle both -
1. keep the form of a ribcage consistent and non-deformed
2. make its 2D shape visually appealing.
Thinking about lemon slices will help you with the latter, for the former there is perspective.
It can work both ways, keeping perspective in mind
