Honestly, his "meanness" is so motivating to me. It's funny and it shows that he cares about the people he is trying to help by pushing them to do better. And if artists out there think he is being "too harsh" I can tell you, once you get into a real working environment there are people who will actually chew you up and spit you out. People who will actively tear you and your work apart and bring you down for no reason other than to see you fail. Ethan is most certainly not one of those people.

[@Mara_1337]

I honestly thought he was the opposite of mean. He is like a big brother or best friend, telling you to suck it up ^^ maybe some people prefere distanced and "clean" type of teaching, but I like his personal and chill style of talking to his audience.

This man is legitimately the best teacher I have ever seen. All the other art channels are like, "all you have to do to improve your art is do your own thing," and stuff like that, without clarifying what you should do to do your own thing. Ethan is like, "BEFORE YOU DO YOUR OWN THING, you must know this," and at the beginning, you're like jeez this guy is harsh, but as you keep watching his vids and improving, you realise all he is saying is the truth. And since the truth can hurt, all the other channels baby you. And since those channels care more about how you feel than your improvement, they fail at teaching you what you need to know, but not Ethan. He knows that what you need to improve is the truth, even if it is harsh. That's what a good teacher does. They tell you truth, even if it's not what you want to hear, because that's how you will improve. Knowing what you did wrong is what you need to improve, because if you don't know what you did wrong, you will never fix it.

[@astraamarante6233]

I learned this fairly recently and was lucky enough to already know before being told, it's ALWAYS function over form, because w/out function, you don't have the correct form. You cannot do *_anything_* without the basics, like anatomy. If you don't know how a human works in the first place, you won't be able to draw one. The fundamentals are the most important thing. It's the cake or the pillar, and then you can build on top of that with your style and slight modifications, like the icing or the roof.

He actually sounded kinda crazy, but his fun, funky personality kept me coming back and I realised he was just sharing wisdom in a fun way that kept you listening and, I have to say, he has some of the best art tips I've seen on the internet.

Since they are an addiction and also can be costly depending on how much one smokes. Also he doesn't seem to have smokers cough or anything so I assume he's not a smoker.

Hey man, love your enthusiasm and love the character. I've been drawing my entire career, 28 now and growig slowly grumpy about the art industry but I have to say, your style is refreshing, clever and actually helpful. There is SO much shit on YT that is pretending to be helpful while teaching nothing on drawing and making people only more stuck. You talk about the absolutely most important stuff and thank you for it. If any young artist is reading this comment, take it from an older goat. This guy is right. About the form, the shapes, the line clarity, all of it. And if your style makes sth looks like a mistake, its not doing you good. Don't make excuses for yourself. But also stay possitive. We are here to make a million mistakes. As a wise man once said, if you are not making mistakes you are not working on hard enough problems. So try smiling every time you make sth and you think its bad. It means your eyes learned sth. Great stuff, brother!!

One of the best art teachers I ever had was in FIRST grade when I was 5 or 6, and I STILL remember that important lesson. He walked up and said in a big friendly voice, "Oh, you have 'peanutitis.' That's when all your characters are the size of peanuts!" My characters were, altogether, the size of my finger on the sheet. He wanted me to use much more of the page, of course. And that lesson is always on my mind. Incredible impact on a life, for so few words. For some reason, men seemed to be the best and worst teachers in my life, either putting total effort into it, or just not really caring at all. In college, I took both art and computer science classes. I had a great teacher that really helped me. But at the end of the semester, she asked me what artist I liked or inspired me, and I told her the truth. "Frank Frazetta." She looked and sounded like I had said "Adolf Hitler." But I took it that my inspirations were utterly invalid. Again, never forgot that, and coincidentally, never took another art class. Little things have enormous, very-long-lasting impacts. It took years to even see how her words shut me down.

Just personal preference, don't take these too seriously in my opinion.

[@Igabims]

How a brush shape can make easier to block shapes? A triangle is a triangle no matter how which brush I am using, I'm confused.

[@ilikepie2eat3]

He was talking about a big painting brush, not a sketching or lineart brush

[@CODBlackOps6WALKTHROUGH]

@@Igabims the edges will be pointy, rather than just have circular shapes. the triangle will be more defined.

At what time

[@FKSas]

Love this. By focusing on the intention behind a choice you are encouraging your fans to think about "why" they are making an aesthetic decision. Too many KZbin channels: artists, filmmakers, etc. get caught up in what's popular and aesthetically pleasing without discussing why it's aesthetically pleasing in the first place. Intention gives the artist of any medium power.

[@07FlowerCloud70]

This man reminds me of my art teacher who would never give a shit about your personal feelings. Raw feedback and good advice. It's just when you're 14 and anxious about your work that's not what you want from an art teacher at all.

[@Giganfan2k1]

Do you what to be a good artist, or do you want to feel like you are a good artist? One of those answers can come with a job and a tremendous amount of personal accomplishment.

[@foxoxo4782]

I just realized Ethan if the opposite of Bob Ross and I kinda love them both??? edit: Thanks for de likes fam

[@DeathThemself]

Hit the nail on the head

[@JTMC93]

Oddly enough they are more alike than they are different. The main difference is their medium influences their teaching. Ethan focuses on Drawing which means learning from the mistakes after the piece is complete while Ross focused on Painting which allows one to incorporate mistakes into the piece more dynamically. But both ultimately focus on developing Confidence in your work.

[@thedrippingleak8073]

So, recently I bought an Apple Pencil so I could finally get a taste of drawing with pressure sensitivity on my iPad tablet. I absolutely loved the dynamic lines I could create depending on the weight I applied onto the pen. There was one issue though, my software (Ibispaint Paint for some stupid reason) couldn't work with pressure opacity which was really frustrating for me since I tend to make pretty rough sketches- But now I realized this is actually a good thing and I can use this to my advantage in terms of improving my art, thanks so much for this video! Keep it up!

[@NireFuster]

15:45 Thanks for including my submission, it was pretty hard to do because I'm more used to my usual messy/painting style, so my shadows are all over the place and I later on start blending it all in to make the final thing, but I'm also aiming for animation besides painting, so these exercises about the brush strokes being confident and the simplified and clear shadows are going to help a lot. Keep it up man this was a really cool video!

[@lokeyartist]

Fail faster use pen so you can’t erase

[@gabesd6697]

My teacher used to forbid erasers. But sometimes not erasing is just wasteful. Often a line is just bad and needs to be discarded. It's not indecision, it's just wrong.

[@tankajahari]

I've tried this for practicing. It's pretty much effective I must say. Although I don't do it anymore, I find myself rarely depending on erasers now and make a lot more confident lines. In art we should experiment a lot.

[@not_doodle]

Hah just practice

[@ameghosting7768]

I mean now whenever i sketch in my free time i use pen, it kinda helped me build confidence in my art and not work on one small thing for too long, of course erasers can help but i definately think drawing in pen on the side or something helps noticing mistakes and not overthinking art too much, especially helps when youre a bit too much of a perfectionist to the point u dont get much done

you know, moving on is extremely important. i dont know if this is how you meant to interpret this video but it worked for me anyways. i set a timer for 1 minute and i try to sketch something that im interested in (like a face for example) then when the timer finishes, i finish. then i move on to 1 minute and 30 seconds time, then i move on to 2 minute timer. that saves a whole lot of time.
