this tutorial screams out to me that its the best one ive seen on character design and gives me so much confidence cause I can relate to all the problems so well I was stressing out so much and then you said "dont bother with the details when you need their personality first" and i realized 'wait, i already know exactly what I want to make, I just overthunk it.

[@Imarandompug]

I absolutely love this man, he goes the extra mile by editing, scripting, and doing all of this work just to make us better artists.

[@FreonSB]

You put so much efforts to make us feel like we're with you in irl, because I feel like a real professor is teaching me in real life, you explain and detail very VERY well, you're the virtual professor that we NEED. No one's gonna change my mind. (If I had a professor, you + him = EVEN MORE FAST PROGRESSION)

[@FreonSB]

Sie haben sich so viel Mühe gegeben, uns das Gefühl zu geben, dass wir bei Ihnen in Irland sind, weil Sie das Gefühl haben, dass ein echter Professor mich im wirklichen Leben unterrichtet, Sie erklären und detaillieren sehr SEHR gut, Sie sind der virtuelle Professor, den wir BRAUCHEN. Niemand wird meine Meinung ändern. (Wenn du einen Professor hättest, du + er = NOCH SCHNELLERER FORTSCHRITT)

[@perfexion4648]

Man, I unexpectedly stumbled across your channel two days ago when looking for a tutorial and I've watched over 10 lessons already. Your tutorials are funny, straight to the point and informative. I've definitely improved cause I've been drawing for years so your videos were the polishes I needed in some areas I find difficult. This particular video is a gem to me cause I'm currently working on a webtoon. Thank you Marcel.

[@Shawarma101]

As someone currently drawing A comic (I still didn’t start) I realized most of my character designs follow the rules (except the color thing, my colors look good on everyone except my mc I don’t know why I thought red and purple would mix, definitely going to change the color of her shirt) You seriously don’t understand how much you are helping I want to binge literally every video you make like I have time, you are a legend and a life saver!

"So in this video we'll start from the very beginning all the way to the very end" Ah yes, that is surely one of the tutorials I'm going to watch

Hey I absolutely love your videos, they help me grow in art more than I thought was possible. I saw your pinned comment and I just want to say take all the time off you need. You are an incredible person who I can tell really cares about the art community. The fact this good of lesson quality is free in simply incredible. When you feel up to it I would find it helpful for a video on capturing the likeness of a person and converting that into an artwork. Of course no pressure. Take it easy, and thank you for making such incredible lessons.

Your videos have helped me a bunch on my art journey. I feel like you have helped me improve exponentially throughout this year. I am starting to design characters for a comic, and this video helps out a lot. One thing I hope to ask is how you would go about drawing younger/older characters and how to make it so each character doesn’t look the same age.

[@Alfos001]

Thanks a bunch mate. This really helped simplify the process for me and helped explain how and why some of my character design sketches feel more alive than others that come across as generic. It feels so obvious now, but the difference step-1 creates is a major eye-opener! ^_^
