[@LocomotionGonzales]

When you scaled the face, and it matched PERFECTLY the other, my jaw dropped. You re amazing. Thanks for the videos!

[@mycollegeshirt]

yeah i was like no way how the hell

[@takemetoyonk]

consistent draftmanship is rather important in all structure

[@SimBoter]

here too but he's drawing the same eyes and chins for decades. He has truly mastered that and thus the stretched jawline actually looks totally different

[@MultiHeheboy]

where i live there isn't much animation school. These videos are really helping me very much thank you

[@kevinzhang3313]

thats the exact reason why he does this

[@sheehandemetillo]

thank you sir for sharing your gift to the world. I agree with you that art education is obscenely expensive and I am most of us cant afford it. But we love art , it is in my blood. With the first five free art tuts I have seen . I have learned so much already . And I was able to buy my first ever wacom intuos pro small. Its not much but it will do for now. thank you again for sharing.

[@AaronBlaiseArt]

Sheehan Demetillo GREAT!! Keep at it and work hard.

[@ismann9148]

Technology and great people like Mr. Blaise has made it possible for all!

[@glyndewis]

Superb! Love the way you 'live' what you're drawing mate!

[@glyndewis]

***** No...thank you :)

[@adreabrooks11]

This video was delightfully informative, but my real enjoyment came from watching Aaron mugging as he drew the expressions. XD I'm glad to see I'm not the only one out there, making faces at my drawing as I work.

[@Keji839]

believe it or nott, i did a large percentage of my early digital work on an ipad! this was for the most part of last year. i saw your channel when i got a surface pro (wacom enabled). your level of skill is profound. these are tutorials i can genuinely watch once or twice and have the knowledge stick for life.

[@LudoSucks]

Absolutely awesome! So glad I found you through Gotta Draw Fast, this was a hugeee help to me!

[@sinanartslan]

These lessons are priceless!!! I still come and look at them again to make my works better

[@karenness5588]

Absolutely fascinating.

[@philosophyfrog2653]

It's such a treat watching you draw. You spoil us with your talents.

[@deebonash1495]

This guy just flip-o-rama on photoshop. *mind blown* aaron. You're too good

[@MattDragovits]

Great lesson. One of my favorites so far!

[@niccyjoubert3556]

Thank you so much for these tips. I’m currently watching all of them and I’ll then be working trough your courses as well. You’ve developed some of my favorite characters, so who better to learn from.

[@beestonpalani07]

i've seen hundreds of videos about drawing and painting, but you approach it so naturally i automatically absorb it. Thank you, from your humble student. .

[@operasinger89]

This is a perfect example of what I needed. I struggle with character expressions this is such an easy tutorial to follow. ❤❤

[@toad1864]

This video has been really helpful for me. Especially when you were explaining about the jaw anatomy.

[@andrewsharpify]

Great lessons on facial expressions! Thank you for making them. Looking forward to the animation lessons.

[@martindemadrid]

Aaron, you are just the best! Best animator, best teacher, and best PERSON! Thank you!. ASAP I will be subscribing for EVERYTHING you have. I have been looking for a long time for a site where a professional animator taught traditional (tradigital) animation, but everything out there was either done by amatuers or was about CGI animation. This site is pure gold.

[@kevinfoster6673]

Watching in awe. I freaking love this channel!

[@playingbylistening2302]

Thank you so much for sharing your work process with us! It is a great inspiration to learn from a Disney artist

[@abramrabinowitz252]

This is incredible. Thank you!

[@doubled5159]

This was so awesome! Exactly what I needed to continue growing as an animator!

[@AlexCorbett]

These tips keep getting better!!

[@KendrickHarrisKenfinity]

Expanding how I express my character's emotions and points 9f view is exactly what I needed. And this awesome walk through is so helpful and simple. Thank you so much and stay safe!🎯✏😀😯☹😠😁

[@suemcarthur105]

[@iammix637]

I discovered your channel yesterday, i'm french and i gonna have my first graphic tablet, an intuos comic or Art medium in a few Days/Weeks... Your videos really help me ! Thank you really much :)

[@misclilly]

This could not have come at a better time! I'm trying so hard to fix the whole "blank face" or simple smile expression then I had realized that I was trying to do both the anatomy and build the expression at the same time! Thank you so much, Mr. Blaise!

[@aliciasam5239]

It came 8 years ago and it came right in our recommended pages

[@PENFOLD1962]

Absolutely brilliant. I can't thank you enough, I've learned so many thing's and 'trying' to include them in my Photoshop & Pyrography. You're a TOP TOP BLOKE, the best 👍😉👌 Take care my friend. Oh I nearly forgot... Am I alone when I say that... I find myself pulling faces when I'm trying to get a certain expression! No mirror's or anything lol. You make learning so much fun, I'm 56 but still like a child when it comes to drawing, painting, burning (pyrography).

[@johnosborne4460]

man you're awesome really. I completely dig your vids

[@mauriciolopezangarita3414]

Excelentes enseñanzas gracias

[@mikestock969]

Thankyou for your tutorials on animation techniques. You are awesome with your work. I too enjoy drawing cartoons. Though I've tried animating my character's. I'm more into drawing still cartoon characters. One, or two panel comics or more. Your videos are an inspiration

[@jel1950]

expression variations!! thank you for fantastic tips for facial expression, mentor!!!! I really needed this tips! everytime I try to use myself in the mirror for reference, I end up being concerned by unexpressed facial expression of myself! hope myself to act more "exaggeratively" T.T

[@SeanLewisArtistry]

Thank you very much for posting these videos, it's really nice to have insight from an animator who has as much experience and talent as yourself. I especially want to say thank you for the persistence video you made, animation work seems to drag on sometimes and it feels like I'm not getting anywhere, it really helped to strengthen me to continue strong, opening yourself up was a very generous gift. It was also nice to see another person that can see how the lights and darks of life end up becoming something beautiful, and to hear from another artist that our job is to make other people happy, as apposed to saying it's all about self-expression. Thank you!

[@shikilbabu8053]

Thank u .....

[@RobertoRaio]

Thanks so much Aaron for another great art tips! It is mind blowing that something so simple works so great, I'm definitely going to use that. And also it's great news to know that you are planning to do some animation and drawing courses on your website, can't wait to check those out :)

[@igorzhur]

great master!

[@positivity29]

Thanks !!!

[@animaysh]

Great channel. Just watching all of your content now. In your studio time did you ever have the director ask for more subtle facial expressions or were they always happy with big and clear acting? How do you deal with hitting the right level of subtlety?

[@palakmehta365]

May God bless you sir for sharing your passion and art trips with the world....I started drawing since I was 2...I would really like to join Disney someday....it's my dream....may seem a bit far fetched but...I would like to thank you again sir😊
