The main reason most people build with lots of color is that they don’t have the correct pieces to make a build uniform.
yeah
Exactly
I see what you mean, and totally understand your point of view. That's why it's great to try to utilize those parts and play around with different styles of building and so on. Even with a small collection of parts, you can come up with some pretty creative ideas. Thanks for the comment!
Yea that's soooooo true :)
Yes
My problem with this is that I don’t have enough pieces.
Same :(
I don’t know how many times I took the shit apart half depressed and put em away because of this.
Same
Use LDD its a free Lego software that is nice to use.
It cant do enything but it has a Lot of Lego pieses.
Also you can run this CAD program on a potato since it sadly dont get new updates
Same :(
Like others have commented, it's not always a matter of choice to build houses without multiple colors 😅 Like when I was kid and I had my Lego collection somewhat decent (for that time and for poor folks) late 80's, I used all kinds of bricks to build houses, or big boats. Like those long techinc pieces with holes in them, because they filled up walls nicely. But yeah, that meant big boats had plenty of holes in them as well as being every possible color involved 😆 But for a kid it didn't matter, since imagination was enough to make each creation coherent and solid unit for all those play hours 👍
bro when he was going over #10 and the tips about mindset and motivation i almost cried fr-
as someone who REALLY struggles with motivation and discouragment daily, i rlly needed to hear that
Same thing man
Same aswell its like when i got teached a really important lesson about life
Can You show please "ways to use "car Windows" in structures"? I really need it
So à good idea
Y?
Maybe for a modern house u can use the roof for a roof
they're good for bakery display cases!

5:25 imagine if your house was so crowded you couldn't even walk around. Empty space is good
Lol XD
@Anthony ••• it's a joke
I know what you mean man, but sometimes interiors need clutter to make them feel lived in. Exteriors like on buildings and space ships can benefit immensely from creative use of negative space. Look at the Lucrehulk from star wars: the arms of the ship curve around the central command ball-thing. Beautiful use of negative space. And plenty of room for fighters to zip around
Can’t be that empty tho...
@@prophetofbeans6781 just like Minecraft
1:09 “Don’t use too many colors”
Me who’s too poor to buy many of the same color brick: No thanks I’m fine.
Same:(
same here
Thx for the ideas I just got my Legos in my main room and now after seeing how you can do Lego builds I want to redo one I made. I take sets and redo the inside and outside but keep the base there. I do that because I don’t have that many bricks of normal colors to build a new place.

Ah yes, the floor here is made of floor
Mind blown
🤯
Kind of like how he used Legos in this Lego-themed video.
I saw your comment just as he said that
Then the problem comes
Not everyone ( like me ) has lots of bricks . . .
Which is sad
Lego Brain Productions I have too much bricks so I cannot find the correct brick
Jack Is cool then you should try sorting em out , it will help you a lot
I have just tons of coloured bricks so o can't build anything. It's annoying and demotovates me.
Same, I only have my sisters stupid LEGO friends bricks
@@geckomangamin5316 same
Whenever I watch TD bricks do Lego vids it makes me want to play legos cause I’m a huge Lego fan
You don't need to say "these are my personal opinions" and "I don't mean to make you feel bad." You are instructing people and using your skills and knowledge/experience to help them improve. It's why they clicked your video - to from one skillset to an increased skillset. Good stuff!
Ya ain’t gonna pick up a girl with a studed LEGO car guys 😳
Factual
For real
I agree
But what if its a studded Fiat Multipla Cabriolet? See thats the most beautiful, respected, and high-quality car ever made, no girl could EVER say no to a guy in one of those
Peter's Pieces lollll
One lego designer has told me: "in lego designs there's never mistakes just taste"
Well he also forgot to mention: "A lack of options"
@@jacobrispoli1363 i am so familiar with that problem
Well I can build something that will hold together better then my friends cause I understand how to build something not just put a bunch of pieces together that look good. Say you want a spaceship. I construct the body with a strong build then add small pieces to the surface for detail. I never criticize what others build but is your build strong with overlapping reinforced pieces or just pieces stacked on top of each other? Basically third is a difference between skill and taste in building.
A mistake is a mistake, a fault is a fault, doesnt matter how you call it.
@@aischacelik8161 a mistake to you can look like a good choice for others-- so stop being a b***h about it. 😂
If you look at the Bauhaus style they only have a very few "colors", like white, brown, black...and I adore that color scale. I plan to make some Bauhaus villas with white (cheramics), grey (concrete) and transparents for windows, it's such a great style and as you said in a video, most of us would like to live in such a house. Thanks for the inspiration!
I love that you make your viewers feel sooo much better about themselves so thank you;)
Way to go the 2nd graders are pissed now
Lol
I'm 9 years old and I built to UCS millennium Falcon by myself☹
lmfao xd
Im 4th grade
Lego Supermario cool
I know all my buildings are ugly and stuff like that but i just dont have enough pieces
@Gizmo Cat I try to sort by piece and color by ordering the identical pieces by color
Same, I’m forced to small scale because I just don’t have the bricks for a proper scale build
Same as me
ifkr
HARD WORK ONLY MATTERS...
Take me, for example...
I built a 787 that took 4 days to complete with uneven LEGO but I’m proud
I built a fictional WWII Japanese battleship with uneven LEGO but I’m proud
I built a Bus with uneven LEGO but I’m proud...
*SO...*
I like the room build you showed after you'd put in the furniture, that was a really lovely thing.
I think number 10 resonates with me the most, since I always worry if my builds aren't as good as anyone else's. I often see detail, purpose and technique in the builds I see from others, whereas the builds I make are very chaotic and sometimes akin to aesthetics from earlier sets.
dude this video is so informative and is great for moc builders! thanks for collabing and i cant wait for more!
hey sacred love your videos
2 replies??!?!??!?!
I absolutely love ur videos I’m subbed
"nobody can build like you" how about my younger siblings that do nothing but copy my builds?
Lol haha
they're going to jail now, nobody can build like you
They learn from you. Maybe you can help them somehow to make their own style?
@@bartoszjankowiak3157 Oo, widzę, że nie jestem jedynym Polaczkiem na tym kanale. xD
@@jesmoc can someone translate what you just said
Thanks bro! I really enjoy building and I'm pretty experienced, but I feel like I don't do it all that well yet. Thanks for the great motivation and insperation. I really appreciate it!
7:15 why there a Batman there hahahaha
My biggest pet peeve is seeing a build with yellow figures and flesh coloured figures or even worse yellow figures with flesh hands and Visa versa
Padraig Pearse yes I hate that
I don’t like it when people mix Lego minifigures with Lego friends figures either.
I don't understand wtf is wrong with people who run LEGO as a company, as in product decisions. They made hard yellow as a default skin color then they started making asian, black, brown types so as white people skin colors and all this still mixed with the default yellow crap. It's like seeing some bootleg crap that have an identity crisis. Lets make some quick crap and hope it sells. To the point alternative brick toys and bootlegs became far more presentable and in better design and quality while costing 80% less then the shitty LEGO. Most toys have normal scaled designs and skin colors while LEGO still pushes some yellow skin crap from who knows when and idiotically scaled cars that only seats one minifig. It's 2020 not 1960 for fuck sake... Even back in the 50s and 60s there were far better modular toys then the overpriced LEGO crap.
@@P33b4Ugo5omwh3r3 personally I prefer the Lego people having yellow skin and stocky, square bodies, and the out-of-scaleness just convinces me that they are not humans, just humanoid. Lego have done more to-scale lines in the past, such as Scala, Belleville and Jack Stone, but none of them have lasted very long and are no longer produced. The yellow skin is also handy as it liquidates the concept of race and skin colour, meaning they don’t have to worry about lash backs to do with racial representation in their sets and your MOCs. Some people prefer skin-tone figures, some prefer traditional yellow ones. I’m a yellow supporter myself. It isn’t that I don’t like the skin tone ones, it’s just they are only really needed for branded sets, where you need to accurately represent a character’s skin and face. The yellow skin works much better in unbranded themes such as City and Creator, and in MOCs.
@@SqueezeboxOfDelights I see your point. Options are welcome. It just as a whole representation seems like a identity crisis. Still makes no sense to make out of scale vehicles when you made a base for your minifig. Scifi or not. MOCs managed to make proper scales so as others so why the LEGO company owners them selves cant accept this fact and make this. Scala is pretty much a Barbie knockoff and and was even far expensive from Barbie lines so as of those we got plenty of other makers so it made sense to fail. I see the same future with all LEGO things. Alternatives do far better jobs and cost far less. Sooner or later more and more people will stop tossing out money on ego and choose logical products.
1: I don't have the number of bricks needed to build a house of just a couple of colors. So that's what it looks
1:02 I thought you said you're trying not to make us feel horrible
potato chips
@@ozruulfpv77yes
Exactly. A trick to try is to have the colored bricks the hidden ones, like if you were building a apartment building you could have interior you can’t see colored wrong.
I love "default" pieces especially the "rock formation pieces" because they really help save parts so much then just add a bunch of slopes pieces to add texture
I thought women were attracted to studs.
*BOI-*
I think I know what this means but can you tell me
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Oh, that was *smooth*!
Like same man i mean-
Thanks! This really helped me. I'm a bad home designer (because I'm all about cars) and I'm trying to de-bore my blue modern home model. I decided to add a vast Lego painting on one of the ones... perfect! Thanks a lot!
the last one actually helped me a lot, thank oyu, now i feel really happy and motivated, i didnt know you were so good at that
Don't use too much or too little color.
Batman: I only work in black and sometimes very, very dark grey.
Uhhh. Doesn't lego Batman also use pops of yellow? His yellow belt, his hello batman symbol, etc? So he literally just lied to you in that statement. But ya. Fair point.
Jacob Rispoli it's a quote from the Lego batman movie
lol
Me: These are awesome! I might do this.
Also me: Has barely any pieces that are good and only a huge amount of colorful when I wanna build mostly serious star wars MOCs
Then get more parts or get creative
Same
@@CoolVictor2002 not everyone's a rich bastard
Build in Minecraft
I'm not a Lego builder but I watch these kinda things cuz I just like creativity, but I just wanna say you're a really positive person and I think more TH-camrs should be like you
what you've put in this video is very similar advice to minecraft building. you make some really good points! you have good judgement for style and method.
made _me_ want to put some of my own advice too, so here's some rules I tend to go by when making things...
vary your colours, vary your shapes, vary your placement and vary your decorations - but not _too_ much or it'll look too random (unless that's what you're going for!). next to _nothing_ is naturally uniform, so adjust your building style for what you're making, for example, something more man-made such as a house might not flow and bend like a forest would.
go outside of your comfort zone to learn new methods, and don't think too much about what it'll look like when it's done; focus on what you've got and what you think would look good in the moment. what you make depends entirely on _your_ judgement for what looks best, so make what you want and don't worry about what others will think until you're done :)
The style of this video is beautiful. This is amazing
Oh hi there OwO
Hewwo UwU never expected u here lol
Foofi!
for the tip of try not to use the 'prebuilt' pieces as in the cliff piece, an idea to use them effectively is to use them as 'skeleton' parts to build up from.
Coo Lego
@@AB-rg7vp um....what did you mean by that?
or was that comment made with a spelling error.
I do love using prebuilt rocks as a base for cliffs. Using slopes on it really makes it pop

-TD BRICKS 2020
Yo dude you're the chosen one . I watch your videos before every single video i make and it really helps out a ton!
Build what you want, how you want and have fun.
There is no "lego building mistakes" or right or wrong way to build lego, it is just the way some people build.( i dont mean to be offensive)
I agree. There’s always areas to improve tho.
There are ways to be more creative though.
There are various "illegal" building techniques though.
Woll Waide The Animal farm guy? Why?
TD BRICKS shut
I just need to make a few points:
1. Your motivational tone and encouragement are WONDERFUL!
2. These tips are incredibly helpful!
3. I'm a 45 yr old woman and I'll never stop building with Legos!
4. Legos is an amazing tool for bonding with your children!
5. My Kids make me feel like a god-level builder, I think Legos teaches you to appreciate the skills of others!
6. This channel is a great resource and I am now subscribed!
His videos are so good, I can’t stop watching them!
Bruh I’ll pick up all them chicks with that car! #studgang 🤣
Dan The Fan nice
Especially since a nissan gtr r34
4:32 Don't flex on me like that Ty, you know I only got a limited supply of those!
Is this a dislike comment? (I just want to know)
@@fierfighter Heck no, Ty's a great guy lol.
Lol
I dont even have dark red ones!
I don't have many of the colors or bricks he's talking about.
I really like how nice and motivating this guy is. :)
I hate it when someone uses ALL bricks that see in buildings
2nd grader: *did you just offend me?*
It's ok some people are not that nice
2:37 How could you, the damn car is only one seater lmao!
Can't even catch any girls in that if they can't ride it!
Get the new speed champions, those cars got 2 seats no joke, and they're new for this year, then you could get a girl in your car XD
Only a few of them have major problems but other than that they alright.
Sit on stud gang!
@renzo roof? Trunk? Lap? 😏
Ik this might be too late but thx a lot, ive gained so much motivation back again to continue my passion with legos at my lowest point of unmotivation to build ❤
That last bit was the most important
I just really needed to hear that 😀
I think the most annoying mistake about lego is when people call it ‘legos’
it sounds better though. compare these sentences “Let’s go play with my LEGO” “Let’s go play with my LEGOs” or if we still want LEGO to be singular “Let’s go play with my LEGO bricks”
Yes, one sheep is a sheep, lots of sheep are sheep. You wouldn't go and see the sheeps.
EXACTLY!
Legos legos legos legos legos legos legos legos
Hey dude let’s play with my legos
Hey my legos are cool
Legos rock dude
Oh no my LEGOs fell down
WhAt If SoMeOnE CalLeD IT lEGo'S BrIcK bEcAUsE LeGO Is tHe CoMPAnY
I kind of disagree with uniform color for buildings, differing colors can look cool as few textures like paves, diry/rusted metal, old stone and such things. As a member of those who don't have the parts I like to use non uniform patterns.
House building tips also can be used for Minecraft aka don’t build boxes make the roofs look nice and add shape both lego and Minecraft
0:27 this is exactly like the Netflix series “Man vs Bee”
The problem is that a lot of people just don’t have the budget or pieces to go along with a lot of these tips. Large dedicated pieces like boat hulls or rock walls are immensely helpful for anyone with time or money constraints.
Yes
Omg so true I always build rainbow houses because there the only bricks in have in my Lego tub
Mistakes are how one is to learn 🙂👍
Thanks so much for this video It really inspired me. I was making a lego modern house moc and got demotivated. Now I feel more inspired and less "I can't do it"
This vid was helpful Ty td bricks
I often build small Mocs in order to conserve and use my parts effectively, I don’t have enough of the same bricks to build in uniform so building small Mocs often helps me build in uniform without needing a large number of the same parts
Let me share a philosophy that is very clearly supported by the LEGO company: There is NO WRONG WAY to be CREATIVE!!!
Your tips are more of a design philosophy of your build style.
It will always have been named "tips" and not "mistakes"
True. There is no wrong way to be creative.
@@uunholyy_ there are just ways that make people think Wow, that's not really creative
@@CombraStudios we know these are tips, but the title says “mistakes”. There really is no wrong way.
well there is :P lego overpricing their items while decreasing the literal contents of many items and putting less and less effort into it :D i guess some things were indeed better in the past ;)
You make valid points but in many cases, people don't have access to many smooth tiles or particular ammount of pieces in the same color for coherent big builds.
Thank you for this video, I just got Back into lego and I ALWAYS watch you.
Also, sometimes its fun to experiment with everything, or even try to add in mistakes, because sometimes it can actually turn out well or give you brilliant ideas
I only have crazy colors so don't shame me
Me too
We are being colour shamed and I wont stand for it
He wasn’t shaming you but ok
@@dewifrancis1299 No you aren’t he didn’t say you are a bad people he even stated that this is just a thing that’s helpful if you have these pieces
@Blazer dude. Again? We get it. Let the stupid insecure people whine and complain all they like, and just ignore them.
love your vids
"Mom, can we have more LEGO bricks please?"
"We already have LEGO bricks at home!"
LEGO bricks at home: 0:55
What was the Tin Tin thing about? 😂
This vid is amazing thatnks for all the tips they’re really helpful
6:50
thats true, but when 80% my pices are red or black, and 60% are 2x2 bricks i cant do much. im honestly a pretty creative person, but i cant do more than a "gun"/ L or a car. lego is expensive (at least on my country) and since im young, i dont have money to buy lego.
i love lego, and i want to play or build with it, but when you are this limited, its quite sad
These are the exact kind of videos that make me want to return to Legos. Haven’t truly played with them since I was a kid.
This was a very informative vid and it really does help. I will personally think about this moving forward. Keep up the spicy content.
Glad I could help!

5:24 TIN TIN AND SNOWY FOUND!
I used to play the game of Tin Tin oh my god thanks for reminding me of that
this video is the reason I subscribed
Ok that orange brick burned my eyes 1:35
When he said ‘drink a lot of water’
I took that literally, I always drain our water supply since I’m addicted to water
Can you drown if you drink too much water?
@@jacobrispoli1363 well, yes but idk because I’m not a doctor. Research this topic on Google and you will find official results
But my explanation is. Yes. But because I’m an addict to water I don’t even feel being drowned in water. I just flush em out anyways so yea. Water can drown you internally. But don’t take it from me, do some research on Google and you will find out ;)
@@jacobrispoli1363 you dont drown but ur blood becomes too diluted with water and starts swelling ur veins i think
@@malinatof yea water intoxication is rare but you can die from it i think the safe limit is 1 oz. an hour
I love your positivity! As an AFOL well into his 50's it's nice to see genuine love of the art!
Great vid. Thanks for The tips! In The future I'll use them, because I Don't have A lot of bricks at home
You know those default rock pieces you could just add those slopes on the one you made on it and it would look just as good
Always good to see another video from my boi 3D BRICKS
Can you do a tutorial on that LEGO car
I would love to!
Please?
Just came across your vids... You're so underated. Nice content 👍
This video helped me a lot! Thanks! ❤
This reminds me of grian's video "how not to play minecraft"
Aayyy #GrianandLegogang
Cool! I will definitely put these techniques to great effect! Thanks!
I love how positive td is he has helped me so much with lego and I love his videos.
These videos are super entertaining! 😄
Great video, I will definitely take these into account in my next build 👍
Love your vids sooo much!! I've got so inspired to build more mochs😃
"mochs"
Hey I would love to see you make a video of the best sets for getting parts for your own builds ( cars,houses,terrain, etc).
Loved the tin tin reference I loved the series as a kid
Take a shot every time he says “in the long run” lol.
But seriously tho nice video.
Take a shot every time he says in the long run
I got very drunk and passed out
nice a car account
I don't think I'm old enough to drink, and I don't think I want to drink. Instead all take a 'shot' of a sugary substance instead.
Wjere
This video also helps the Minecrafters alot! All those tips (except for 2 and 6) can be used to create a better Minecraft structure
When I build I do detailing colors because the colors I have sorted, they're aren't enough peices to buil a certain thing so I just build detailing colors
7:04 That's literally what i did today! I dug around in my random lego box full of random blocks and saw one fan of a plane and i made my own mini pc out of lego with a monitor;D
YOU are the best Lego TH-camr EVER!! 😃😃
Or the best TH-camr EVER!
I went to a Lego store and everyone was doing the same thing so I was inspired by TD
Empty space is a great way to illustrate something, maybe haunted. Multiple colors are the only means for me to build as I buy a large percentage of my lego previously owned. I build haunted type structured, so boxiness is my best choice.
