I absolutely love this. Going to go back and watch your other videos on this series. ❤❤❤❤

I just watched 3 or 4 of your videos in a row and easily fell in love with your work. Consider me a new subscriber!

Thanks for this! Adobe sucks.

Awesome video. Can this track a pen if I want to write across the page?

you are a hero for posting this!!!!

well damn steven zapata adam duff 2 dads that i didnt know I needed amen

OooooOooo Dad's mad.

I like this. You’re talking about a bigger problem that I, as an older person, who came of age before the internet, didn’t think through. 😊

Thank you so much for being reasonable in this toxic world, Adam! We need more people to lead and advocate for peace and understanding in the online communities! No shame in being an art dad either, we say this because we look up to you for knowledge and emotional guidance, you simply happened to be twice our age lol! But to some you're the art older brother haha! Maybe even younger brother!

Such a great review, thanks!

I'm a simple man. I see Gimli in the thumbnail, I click

what thg hell..this is easyest tutor ever im atch...and tyhey same anggry like me

F THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

you know, Pewds really pulling me back into drawing. I stopped doing illustration after my diploma. now i have an Artist gf so it kinda makes myself feel useless and she been helping me to get back into illustration. Now i'm going back to the fundamentals i learnt back in my diploma days. Thank you for the video💕💕

I needed to hear this from you right now. I am a math, science, physics,chemistry teachers now :)... for 6,7,8,10,11 and 12 graders. And also i used to be indie game artist who barely worked on his portfolio. I have both bachelor and master degree in chemistry and i have started my PhD. I have found your channel while searcher for a graphical tablet and never thought this channel will be this deep. Thank you Adam. I got myself an Ipad Air to start my portfolio because of your channel.

I’m still in the just drawing anime girl phase after 20 years, still not bored of it 😂

i started drawing again for the first time since i was like 10 bc off his video !

19:58 That's what I was dealing with lately. I was doing more "painterly" approach and even tho it was pretty nice and fun to make, something felt off. Only a few days ago I realised that if you want to make a detailed rendering, you have to make your lineart simplier. If you want to make a piece with a detailed lineart, it's better to make simple rendering and let your linerat describe the form and contrast. I was trying to do both and it made my paintings a bit overcomplicated.

Who the hell is Pewdiepie'?

You're doing God's work (Windows is doing Satan's work).

Man I needed to see this, super inspiring not only seeing Felix's progress and discipline but also listening to your wisdom and commentary!! Thank you both ❤ now off to draw 🏃‍♀️

If it's not 5k it is not a true apple studio display contender. BenQ should drop the speakers and pairing software-we only care about a matching 5K resolution for a truly crisp display! I don’t understand why no company gets this. It's so obvious, yet no one has done it. What’s going on? I’ve been waiting for BenQ or Dell to step up with this for years now. My for 4k display makes me feel I am going blind cuz I am not getting that delicious crispy display after waiting for so many years. I am starving to death and think that from now on I will no longer await a single beat for this company's to step it up. They just keep adding bells and whistles but they don't add what truly makes is a studio display contender.

One of us one of us one of us XD He is so in it he casnt escape anymore. Love your reaction, Adam.

I really like that Felix has "evolved" from entertainer to "this is who I am as a Person and this is what I love and care about". And I think he is doing the Art Community a great service with this, because there are so many people who once did have a general interest in art, but never felt good enough or rewarded enough to keep doing it. Of course there are also people who get discouraged by his progress or who try to downplay his efforts with statements like "Well you are rich, so you have the time.". But we all know that those people are really just searching for excuses and only make up reasons to quit. Art is not about talent...it's a endurance game, we all know that. So those who stop "because of him" would have dropped out either way and those who start or rather start again because of him, are inspired by what he does and what he has brought to the table of the art community. Which is a really good example of: "everyone can be an artis, if they only try."

Yes Gimli is absolutely necessary, thank you 😃

This is the best video I ever watched on youtube since it became a thing.

Felix, moving to Japan, ditching alcohol and getting away from the KZbin Grind was some of his best life decisions. I enjoy watching his "Life in Japan" vlogs. Some artists have complained that they're ditching art, because of Felix's improvement in one year. Their excuse is that he's rich and he has lots of time on his hands because he no longer has to work. Probably the most lame excuse that I've ever heard - LOL.

I really don't like Pewdiepie. He rubs me the wrong way. But his art improvement is amazing. He has the maturity, healthy self condfidence, "no big deal world won't end if my drawing is bad" attitude, and the consistency to do this daily. He really is enjoying the process, playing with art supplies. He has a healthy attitude. Somethink I've been lacking my entire life, thus making my relationship with art very toxic and strained. There is a sense of ease to how he's able to sit down and just draw, just play.

Thumbs Up For Kitty 😺

such a nice positive video from you again you bring my soul at ease... Watched another art tubers vid reacting to pewds art journey, not gonna call anyone out, but had to close it after they started nitpicking and tearing. Snickered at some hands and stuff... not into that kind of energy, but unfortunately it's rampant in the community.

I like your vids but I’m ngl I fucking hate pewdiepie, he’s a racist and he cultivated weirdo reactionary fascists as his fans. Let’s not forget who he really is

I started drawing yesterday and I’m already starting to observe things. For example: My girlfriend is trying to explain to me this and that and I’m just observing the shape of her head and trying to put it in the contrast with her body😂 it was very fascinating to me to realize what I was doing

I'm not salty i just kinda realize that i must suck really bad if I've been drawing in my spare time after work for way longer than a year, and it looks like chickenshit compared to his earliest days drawing for fun lol, i haven't drawn since his first art video

Well damn, you put the ads on the right spots 😂😂

I'm not ugly crying you're ugly crying

This year has been the most difficult for me artistically, and weird to say since I barely had anything done at all, or even tried to do something at all. I’ve been a lot in chrisis over what I really want to do, and at the start of the year I’ve got really frustrated since for all the opportunities I just let pass by, I’m probably on the verge of not being the illustrator I wanted to be in the first place, having to dedicate on other things to the point I don’t hace the energy nor the passion to go back at doing art for the rest of my life. I have to admit, I feel this is the lowest I’ve been in my short life at the same time. I am a licensed industrial designer (which seems like I’ve lost my skills on that aswell anyway) and even I’ve failed my own expectations and others aswell in my first job, where they hired me for my major. But you know…. Maybe it isn’t that bad that maybe I stop doing art for a long time, but of course, doesn’t mean I’ll get away from it. It is mostly about only getting around it more than I ever did in my life, and who knows… I hope someday to get inspired enough to go back at it again. Or not, that’s just the worst case scenario. Honestly the most probably it is that I’m just tired of treating art like the only thing I have value for. I wanted to deny it, but it is the real reason why I made it on the first place. I did love doing it of course, but… I don’t think it is the same than others who that’s their main center of their artistic journey. I am healing in some ways, or at least learning. I guess it is time I finally take it easy and not to pressure myself… And now only be a viewer for the people who can help me remember that genuine passion I forgot a long time ago.

I saw some videos about how a big chunk of the community got salty and jealous about his progress. People, this is normal, he just did what needed to be done to improve, and It could have gone better. I can empathize with him, people say he is rich, too talented or gifted while having so many days of grinding in the back of his head. People just telling me I was chosen by the art gods or some BS while having pain and sleepless nights on my resume. Not saying he’s taking It badly, but I feel that complimenting art should be the same as anything, recognizing effort, discipline, and dedication. He’s also been a KZbinr for the longest time, he knows how to learn things, and he had to learn multiple endeavors to make his life’s career a success. He knows how to stick to things at a fundamental level, look how his fitness journey went. So if any of the salty side of the community wants to cope with something that’s a good one. Nonetheless, y’all just need to lock in, stop procrastinating and get good. Learn how to learn, this should not be surprising, seriously. Much love 🥰

I put off looking at this video for a while out of jealousy, but I got a lot out of it, and feel renewed in my desire to make art.

His art is boring. Derivative. Hollow.

I must say I saw a couple of reactions to the pewdiepie video already, but this one also helped me understand the background why something might look off.

This turned into aryas vs aryas....

Gimliiiii!!!! ❤❤❤❤❤

22:58 I call it AI. The shape of some hair doesn't match up. Highlights seem off. There is just more an more detail the longer you look at it that does seem off - not in a style way, but in an AI way. Can I be certain? no

8:28 the cat " I`M THE STAR OF THIS SHOW 😏 "

thanks! love that this video is no longer than is necessary, hate windows ink so much!

I lost my not art job in 2021 and everything told me to make art - but I also spent that year taking care of family. Moving 3 house holds, sending my parents off to Newfoundland, and never having a moment to do what I needed to do. At the end of the year Everything screamed at me to make art and start a business, so I took a course that helped me build a business plan. I still have that plan. I still know what I want to do... and I've been through 2 OTHER jobs since then. One was an HR nightmare, the other let me go for ridiculously personal reasons, and in those years I've put out hundreds of resumes with only 6 interviews despite my qualifications. The second job let me go in September before I went on vacation. I took those 3 weeks and dreamed about what I wanted and now I'm home, here, watching this video because everywhere I go everything tells me to JUST FUCKING DO IT. So thank you for this. Because I'm 35. I've been in my local scene for 20 years, but I've been wildly out of touch recently and I think it's time to dive back in. I might never work for Marvel, DC, or Disney... but all I really truly want is to work for myself and escape the corporate culture mindset anyway. It makes me feel inadequate despite my qualifications and work ethic. Time to use those skills for myself.
