I think more than looks, drawing with th shoulder is more of a health advice. Interchanging techniques will reduce the risk of repetitive injury

It absolutely does not matter how you make art, as long as YOU made it, because there is always someone who will tell you what you are doing wrong. Maybe someday someone can tell us if we are doing it right.

"Fudd" is now officially part of my vocabulary.

Tim, I've been watching your videos for the past month or so and I appreciate your words here. There is an overall sense that you have to do everything BUT actually make art to make it at this. And it does feel like an MLM. When I was in the photography world, it was the same way.

Hey Tim! Your content has really helped me to understand how to actually study form, which I was really having a hard time with. I want to tell my own stories, but with how the internet and algorithms work these days, I'm unsure whether or not I'd be able to get anywhere with it. I've tossed around the idea of having a blog or starting a KZbin channel, but I'm afraid my vision won't be understood or even seen. Do you have any advice as someone who has published their stories and does what he loves for a living?

¿Is picture in video CC0, CC BY, or CC BY SA?

I couldn't click this fast enough when I saw it in the right hand video list. 3 hours and 33 minutes?! YES. PLEASE. I absolutely LOVE these long-form videos.

I’m in beginning and your video is spoil of my future 😂 btw I’m currently working on anatomy and figure drawing with Proko courses but i find that it’s not a complete course and I struggle with robo bean method and mannequins and I find that drawing boxes are hard for me do you have a specific method to train boxes and mannequins specially simplifying figures?

Would love a video seeing how you approach 3d 😊

I LOVE your content. Please don't stop making traditional drawing videos: pencil and paper. This is what makes you different and unique from other channels. The way you teach with pencil and paper is enjoyble and easy to understand. No one do it better than you in the whole KZbin community. Sending you positive energies from the other side of the World.

Awesome video, Tim! Fantastic to see your progress and hear your thoughts.

@TheDrawingCodex In your opinion, would it be worthwhile for me to post figure studies on Artstation? Would directors take note of these?

thank you ! i needed this video, i am still in my beginning journey and stepping away from social media helped me allot to focus.

My favourite art channel. Thanks for creating the content you do and sharing it with everyone

Yes! I just did a little piece for my brother and thought about your tips all the way....awesome. I'll be watching this in a bit. Just so happy. Cannot wait for this one....

Why is it that you modern comic or otherwise artists are always obsessed with female "heros"? Mommy issues? What happened to depicting masculinity and male virtues? Western feminized males are a big part of our downfall.

Hi! I'm your new subscriber :3 I discovered you through the book Pinocchio I got from a library ❤ I didn't know you drew for french comics:b keep up you have great art!

Now THIS is real masterclass on design that I've been looking for on KZbin! Most youtubers are so eager to get into the weeds of silhouettes and shape language and hyperspecific technical details, but the number one thing that dictates literally everything about the design - the design brief - is always missing! Absolutely amazing breakdown of the entire decision making process and what makes each design tick for each specific medium you looked at. These are the questions to always keep in mind - what is the design for? What is its function? How does it fit into the rest of that world/product/problem/thing we're contributing to!

This was a very approachable and clear breakdown of a creative project! Splitting things up in as many small little tasks as possible is the best way to keep a momentum going, as each little step makes the final project take shape. Very much enjoying the presentation and thought process! You went through the complex task of creating a book and split it in detail - I had not even considered all the little logos and spine and general design of the inside covers, so this is a cool roadmap to follow!

guys wich ipad should i buy the 13 or the 11 inch i wnat to use it for procreate and morpholio

I signed up for the mailing list, and confirmed, but I can’t find the link. What am I missing?

Brilliant! Adding this to my playlist of things to absorb me whilst working on other stuff for the next three days. I LOVE your videos, especially the long form format. It's like having a (very skilled) pal in the room with you. I wish more experts in their field would take time to do videos like yours. Non-shouty, cerebral, and calming with all the proof in the pudding. I learn more than a handful of things every time I watch one of your videos and one of the amazing things I have noticed is that, even as an amateur artist, I find myself finishing some of your sentences in my head. This is fantastic confirmation that I have been going down the right path and learning through experience in an appropriate way.

What the direction of deltoid relative to arm direction?

How exactly do you get that textured look on your piece? It almost looks grainy. Is that just a once over with a brush???

Working on applying to a game desIgn and animation college. So this video is perfect for the portfolio!

This kind of videos,are the best, sharing the process is the most importan thing!

I see this long video as- lest just chill,get in the mood, forget anything and draw. We as artist stress on so many things and sketching is where mind go in flow state, without worrying will someone like it or not. As a person who dont have opportunity to sketch with someone in person, this is the closest i can get. I do have community where we draw and share screens but i dont see a lot of videos like this. Artist usually skip this,move to final or rendering part and talk (nothing wrong it that, it become overly saturated). In conclusion- dont stop creating them! I always share your video to my art community and lot of ppl (including me) value your advices, thoughts and tutorials :D

Who cares thick or thin just put in big batterie 😂

I think you can modify the pencil Pro. Changing the tip or adding a grip. The pencil out of the box is not for the pro, it is still average to suit the masses.

So good to draw along with. So I liked it twice ❤

😮😮😮 تو خیییلییی کپی راسل کرو هستی ❤

Man i was stuck in drawing backgrounds. That was exactly as you said: i know perspective, luckily I already studied floor maps, even created a 3D model of a room (Thank you Clip Studio Paint lol), but still couldn't handle backgrounds for my comics. Your lesson helped me get plan my background and, finally, end up having great bgs ideas and studies that thankfully now have that personality that was missing Thank you!♥

In france (2025), BD (french comics) is around 16 euros for around 50-60 page with hardcover, and manga around 7 euros, The habits of the French are to keep their books, so what is usually published in first edition is on higher-quality materials compared to Japan. I think we need to take into account each culture's relationship with the "book" as an object. In France, books are culturally important and highly valued, which influences other aspects. This leads to higher-quality materials, which are more expensive. Consequently, since the medium is more costly, there is a tendency to invest in higher-quality content as well-requiring more time/Influencing the publication pace, effort, and money. It creates a virtuous/vicious cycle. I remember that when I was young, there were publications like "Pif MagazineGadget" or Disney comics that were printed on low-quality materials for children not the best drawing and writting....I feel like with the shift to digital formats, internet etc...., the quality of publishing materials has tended to improve. I remember the first manga published in France; the paper quality was low. Today, first editions generally have good quality. It's an evolution that French comics had already gone through earlier, transitioning from "toilet paper" to "glossy" paper. However, during this evolution, periodic BD publications didn’t survive : is there a causal link, or is it due to other factors?

at 14:52 of the video "the other great resource is tha late Gary ..." I haven't understood the surname (english is not my mother language)could you write down the surname so I will be able to do a search on google please? thanks in advance

I love the framework you provide here for thinking through big picture goals. So helpful, thank you!

Le kiff de la traduction automatique ! Ca rend vos vidéo encore plus accessibles merci.

Maan I appreciate the fact that there are people who love Darkstalkers these days

If ipad were like 10% bigger i would not need a cintiq + ipad. I’m using an old cintiq tho, but it is enough. The only “issue” is that the max res is 920x1080.

So that's what the inside of an organized mind is like.

Esta genial este concejo, ademas esta en español!!! Gracias !!!!

Im new to your channel. Your vidoes are So helpful and motivating. I have a project I've been working on for awhile now and your videos have really kept me on track and got me through any creative blocks 👍

Man, I wish he colored this one. It's really cool.

I really wanna be able to do everything I can’t stick with just ONE

You may not see the comment, but you have given me the questions that I've needed to ask myself for a long time. I spent years creating and dropping personal projects, thinking something must be wrong with me. I didn't have a story in my heart like many artists do. I didn't have characters I was attached to. I don't have any favorite media, whether it be games, movies, animations, shows, books, etc. I have been on and off drawing for the past 10 years and it wasn't until the past few years that I started to draw more often. I realized, after listening to your questions, that I am the type of person that prefers speed over patience. I spent a long time learning styles and refining my own style that was simple and fast for animations or comics. Having to be clean and detailed stressed me out, so I much prefer loose sketches. I like stories, but I have written so many that I'm not sure what to do anymore. None of them really stick with me. I like talking with people, but I don't have many creative friends and I am a bit of an introvert and don't go out of my way to make friends. I like having creative freedom, but too much freedom is overwhelming and stressful. I'm told that I have to enjoy what I'm making or I'm not going to be happy with it. I apologize for the rant. Your talk has made me do a lot of self-reflection and I really appreciate it. Thank goodness that your channel showed up in my feed. This is the second video I've watched from you and I'm usually not patient enough to listen to anything for more than 10 minutes. I am rather surprised with myself, but at the same time, I love and enjoy your content. You speak to me on a mental level that no other artist has. Thank you for all of your insight. It helps so much.

Can you do more anatomy and posing videos please? 0-0

Contrast. Frazetta was all about contrast. He was heavy on the principle that the point of highest contrast was where the eye went. That's how he planned to move the eye around. Dark and light, hard edges and soft, in focus and blurred, and the incredible amount of complimentary colors that were subtly put together.
