ART TIPS! (im quitting youtube)

[@ieatbootywater]

this feels like one of your favorite teachers retiring from your school anyways wish you the best ethan, good luck with life

[@ineedhalppeeezzz2131]

Exactly!

[@diegoelcriticonomamon8240]

Is he gonna quit tho

[@s0ne01]

You profile pic is cursed.

[@TheAngelArrow]

i agree, shitmypants_gaming234

[@aerforcejunior]

This is like the third time you quit... I don't know how seriously to take this

[@TheCrafterHero]

i ain't buying it until i check back in and notice he hasn't uploaded in a year

[@KURENANI]

I agree

[@elcousteau3441]

I am quitting youtube *EMOTIONAL*

[@jayjeez]

Third times the charm??? Idk

[@ThisJordo]

I'm betting he just does it to get extra clicks on the videos lol

[@Sylfae_Quiro]

I don't know anymore after all those jokes, but if you are leaving, thank you for everything. I'm a beginning artist and want to become a concept artist. It's all because of your work. You really motivate me to continue and your videos are funny as hell😆 Thank you Ethan, everyone will miss you for sure✨✨✨ Edit: omg I never got this much likes on anything, thank you all🙏

[@repeekyraidcero]

[@Made_In_Heaven88]

Appreciate all your "Tough love" art advice Ethan, there aren't a lot of artists/teachers like you these days

[@erixoliver]

Not sure if you're serious about quitting, but in any case let me just say you are the best thing to ever happen to my art career. I had problems understanding your humour back then (especially because of language and cultural barriers), but I notice your aproach works and decided to stick with it. And this is the big point: Unlike many other things I've done before, the stuff you teach WORKS. Thanks for everything!! Also WE ARE ALL ETHAN BECKER 😂

[@Panda-gm4ez]

Take care ethan! Do what you love! We’ll keep supporting you!!

[@dumbspaghetti_]

We’ll miss you father, thank you for all of your art tips and criticism

[@HiankoWillem]

Ow, appreciate all the work you put into KZbin. And I wish you the best with your own projects! Definitely going to rewatch a lot of stuff, but I'm happy you're doing what you want

[@Recenterco]

I've heard this from alot of creators who are stepping away from massive social media accounts to connect with smaller communities and more intimate spaces, especially on Discord. Thanks for all the help!

[@ovrair6340]

I don't know wether to take this seriously or not, but it seems very genuine. If so, then genuinely, thank you Ethan, you're probably one of the best (and most entertaining) art teacher KZbinrs.

[@FrejaW]

I completely get your reasoning and I hope it goes well with your animation projects and stuff, but I do hope you post some short stuff here on KZbin sometimes as you are probably my favourite artist and KZbinr!

[@riskoffailure8857]

your basically the only person on youtube who has genuinely helped me to make better art. i hope you come back one day but i understand if you don’t

[@meowmeowleo]

I don't know if you are really quiting youtube, but if so thank you for everything Ethan. You really helped me to get better at art. You will always be my favorite art channel. I hope you take good care of yourself and I wish you luck on everything you do from now on ♥️

[@vivaki_]

Thank you for sharing your info and tips to us babies, took your advice on recording videos instead of pics for references and it was so helpful but also helped change my drawing mentality into a more straightforward one :) Take care 💖

[@gooblymcfarts]

Your one of the few artist to kick my ass outta crying over my bad art and focus on improvement. As well as what I want outta my art and to pruse my goal of being a story artist. I hope the channel stay though because even know I go back to refresh sometime. Thank you and I can't wait to see your future project s

[@doctordavid264]

Best of luck to you Ethan. You are amazing and you will always be in my heart

[@danielgrezda3339]

When he left, he gave me one last thing I needed. How to draw clothes and folds.

[@AzukisS]

I don't know if you are leaving forever or for a while, but I will come to this channel whenever I need someone to scream and yell at me to boost my confidence when my imposter syndrome or my self sabotage is popping. Thank you for all the quality tips and lessons.

[@blehblehbleh6322]

awh man, you're like my FAVOURITE art youtubers ever, i constantly recommend you to friends. I'll miss you so much

[@CherryMxTx]

Appreciate all you've done

[@lilithbaker6515]

Ethan I know you aren't quitting you tube lol, but I just want to say thanks. Thanks for making amazing content for us artists. Two years later, my art has improved so much, and it's all because of you. Good luck on your own art journey Ethan! ❤️

[@kashe7285]

if you really are leaving, i just want to thank you. earlier this year i decided i wanted to improve, and get serious about my artwork and your videos changed everything. with all your help, and advice, and jokes, i finally decided to put in the work to become a concept artist. i truly could not have gotten to this point without your videos. thank you.

[@mochimona]

I am really sad that you are leaving. You were one of the few if not the only one who explained art and tipps and tricks the way I understood it well and I am coming back to a lot of videos. but i think focusing on stuff you like is better than keeping up with us babybrains :P wish you the best and thank you for teaching us a lot of stuff ( i am not interested in animation per se or else i would consider doing a class or something, because your teaching is awesome).

[@samanthajeffers9339]

I don’t comment much, but your videos have helped me improve so much. Your work is awesome. Thanks for everything you’ve done.

[@ram3n_05]

Hey Ethan, I haven't been watching your videos as often as I used to but your videos helped me improved my art by heaps and loads and inspired me to chase after my dream to be an artist again, so I just wanted to say thank you. Best of luck with your career!

[@EriceatssG]

well it was a great journey for all of us you've taught us so much thank you 😊

[@ramentreee_5335]

Like everyone else here I’m not 100% sure if you are being genuine but I’m going yo assume you are. I just want to let you know hat you have completely changed my art for the good, you have helped my find my art style, you have helped me become much more confident in my art. As well as that you are so entertaining to watch and inspire me to draw and get out of art slumps. I wish you the best of luck with you next project, whatever it may be. And one again, thank you so much :))

[@volantblade2024]

I just want to say your project city story sprint classes are so damn good and I can’t wait for this months reviews!

[@suzume_artz]

Your videos were really useful for me to overcome my fear of drawing things outside my comfort zone, especially with backgrounds & perspectives. Good luck to you with your future plans!

[@achronos178]

Can we have knife mic merch! Kisses and thank you for all you have done for generations of artist to come.

[@OneeUp1]

As an ethan becker enjoyer for like 2 years, this is a sad day but I'll enjoy the rest of the vids. Wish you the best of luck with your animations

[@ineedhalppeeezzz2131]

Plz don’t leave- dude you’re too cool to leave!

[@emerald3960]

You inspired me to get back into art when I was at such a low point with it. I love making art but felt I wasn't improving or getting where I wanted but your videos helped me lots. Thank you for making such fun art videos, good luck with whatever you do outside of youtube :)

You are one of my main inspirations for learning to draw its sad to see you leave youtube but I wish you luck on all your future endeavors

[@Wanooknox]

I don't know if I really believe you're leaving yet... But if it is true and you really are leaving, so long and fair well. I learned a ton from your crazy videos and you will be missed. I think you're a genuinely great teacher. You have an amazing ability for getting at the root or heart of a lesson and packaging that lesson in a compelling way. Good luck with project city and your future endeavors. 😊

[@dzintisruzaikis8192]

Best "agressive" type teacher there is, it critique sounds harsh, but feels good and informative. Hope you do great w/o youtube and come back to the community from time to time!

[@tradesmanjaegs4992]

You had a great run. I'll miss you of course, but I understand that you want to work on your own projects. I'd love for my youtube to be successful, but I bet I'd get tired of it too! I can't believe I didn't see this yesterday, youtube never recommended it to me. A bit of you will live on in all of us.

[@miloebreday2675]

Wait is this fr tho? Idk if it is but I wish you the best and I just want you to know that your channel was the first one that actually helped and gave me loads of helpful advice when I first got into digital art. I loved how little you sugarcoat things and got straight to the point. Thank you for helping me!☺(even if my art still sucks at least it sucks a little less🥳😃)

[@laudatesolem2185]

Dude, thanks to your videos, I made such a leap in my skill that I still can't believe it. Now I constantly use the techniques that you talk about in your videos. They are so simple and clear that I was even able to get my friends hooked on using these techniques. I am pleased to see how they progress with each sketch. You have no idea how much you have changed my life, I can finally say that I love my drawings.

[@flicca2567]

I just wanted to say you have had such an influence in not just my art but my passion for it too, when I was still a traditional artist I stumbled across a video of yours it was a how to find your art style, I drew something completely different to my normal stuff and since then I’ve been so much more inspired i saved up I got a Lenovo laptop, used Medibang for a while saved up again now I’ve got an iPad on procreate making art all the time and now my KZbin main page is just FILLED with other KZbinrs videos on art as well, I be learning more n more everyday and it all started with you and that how to find art style video. Anyway I wish you the best for your career to come and sincerely thank you so much I will for sure check out your other things too Thanks again 😊

God bless you Ethan! you have been the most influencing and inspiring art teacher i have had i’ve ever had. Your videos helped me improve my art so much so quickly. I will never forget the fundamental fundamentals you’ve taught me over the years. It’s because of you sparking my art flame again a few years ago that i’m studying animation at university next year. Good luck with everyone of your future endeavours, and thank you for everything

Hi Ethan. Would an elaborate video on facial expressions be a possibility? Where to start, common mistakes, best practices etc. Or even the best materials to learn from. I've acquired decent skills in drawing but facial expressions are still an issue and would like to learn but don't even know where to start.

[@MANGLORIOUS]

I want to point out how Eugene (the guy at the end) had his mic on a leaf to parody the mic on the knife thing. Also learned a sht ton from this vid. Thanks for all the knowledge Ethan, wish you success in your new path.
