I absolutely love how you teach. No background music, excessive joking or distracting presentation/production. Just raw knowledge for those who want to learn and take their skills to the next level. It is much appreciated. If and when you have time could you cover the topic of composition?

[@DeannaScott-x9t]

I love your work. That might seem strange because I am a 76 year old female retired accounting manager. I have sketched, painted, doodled etc., for many, many years. Recently I have gone back to my pen and ink work, which keeps me busy, but I love following other artists work. Please keep doing what you are doing in helping others perfect their work, particularly young people.

Awesome stuff. Been binge watching all your content. I recently had my first kid so havent been spending more than 10-15 minutes on any given drawing. Your content makes me want to start rendering some of the work I've done.

[@laraaldo1382]

you're my best teacher. I wish I could have drawn like you when I was a kid. Now in my 40's I'm trying to get those beautiful shapes to my drawings thanks to you. This is a wonderful and relaxing hobby for me. I like to draw terror and alien creatures.

[@Xenotango364]

This was so calming to watch. Honestly, it's stressful to see pro artists create masterpieces, lol and then you look at the figure you drew trembling because your don'tunderstand toning at all. You're amazing, and I think what's even cooler was you dedicating your time to teach us while doing your work. I hope that more people see your content because it's feels criminally underrated.

17:05 Years ago, one "tool" or technique i came up with on how to destroy the blank piece of paper fear/overwhelm, the answer was just to throw some random lines, totally random without anything in mind, actually it might qualify as scribbles, and from there the pareidolia will begin to make it´s magic and something will begin to appear. I also do thumbnails that way, i draw a small fuzzy ball of graphite on the paper and sometimes i blend it, just like watching clouds and from that i begin, i have filled lots of pages with thumbnails that way, and probably in a totally im not feeling creative right now mind state.

What you said about having fancy tools and them not mattering unless you know the basics made me laugh inside, as I filled a pencil roll with faber-castell supplies for pros but I still need to start off with a simple pencil and humble myself 😅

I see something taoist wu wei here, not forcing but going with the flow. I liked your term microwave age, I was a child after the war when having a banana was a treat and my cousin's husband who was an artist gave me a box of half-used pastels for Christmas, I feel privileged in this age of bombardment of adverts for things we don't really need. Learning much from your channel and thanks, happy holidays or whatever folk call it these days.

[@bryanterborg3665]

That’s a great exercise. My problem is knowing when to stop adding value, I understand it’s hard to get toothpaste back into the tube, sooo…yeah add as you go. It’s easier to add than to take away. Like adding salt to food. Any advice my friend? Plus, I’ve finally tried the prismacolor method. What a POP! Thanks dude! Still hoping to see a Bigfoot and another mashup of different animals or creatures. Keep rocking!

[@lukadesmet1383]

how do you plan out the highlights advance? If i fill in the gaps, you showed us how to lay a professional lightest value right? love the video!

[@bobbyrebholz2183]

Whenever I look at the surface, I try to figure out the highest point of that surface whether it's rounded, flat, or organic. I put the highlights where I believe the light will be bouncing off of it the most.

[@lukadesmet1383]

@bobbyrebholz2183 thank, I'll put that into practice!

[@Cosmicethereal09]

Do you think you'll ever offer in-depth courses where you teach everything art from start to finish? I'd pay any amount! The videos you post are so amazing and teach me so much, but I have so much to learn, and I'm lost on where to start.

[@bobbyrebholz2183]

I'm in the process of developing an online course that would be downloadable. It'll be very in-depth. My thought is that sometime in the Spring it'll be ready.

[@peonieglow5005]

Beautiful creepy😊

[@mattyiasemides3270]

Thanks for another great video. I do have a question about your shading technique. When you are shading in a patch of value do you keep the pencil in contact with the paper the whole way through or do you lift it of with each stroke so you are doing lines in one direction as opposed to going back and forth? Hope this makes sense, thanks again

[@bobbyrebholz2183]

I keep it on the paper until that pass is finished, then I lift it up. It helps keep it consistent.

[@mattyiasemides3270]

Thank you so much for the quick reply. This makes a lot of sense

[@bryanterborg3665]

Another question(s) how would you for example portray let’s say skin spots vs. the shading? & can you imply color with just graphite? Bigfoot rules!

[@conjurekween1627]

Instead of covering the same basics in every one of your videos, could you try and maybe stick to the actual point of the video. It gets pretty annoying having to listen to a carbon copy of the same scripted lines for the first 5 minutes of every video... If people want to know that they'll click on the video you made that describes the basics...
