“In the name of Ethan Becker begone” I’ll start using this frase every time I don’t like what I see

[@angelicfruitloops3664]

I love how he makes educational art videos without making it ridiculously boring

[@inkboopus]

(this is from the perspective of a hobbyist artist) i feel like a lot of people focus on “consistency” when it comes to style when in reality fluidity and range in of itself is a great skill. being able to experiment with different things constantly is how i came to discover my own style- or rather, comfort zone- and i find that’s the most fun part. confining myself to a single “style” only hindered my growth when i began to start drawing, because i had a preconceived notion of what art should look like. framing the drawings i make as different projects with set goals in mind to accomplish (mood, genre, etc) is a great way to bring some cohesiveness and thought into the drawings i make! anyhow, this video is very insightful and i’ll be sure to apply what i learned from it

[@behindzerosp]

People who focus on consistency do it mainly to have signature + if you want to attract followers or do comics you need consistent style

[@inkboopus]

@@behindzerosp i recognize that! i just think (especially for younger artists who are new to posting their art online or people earlier on in their artistic journey) that there is a lot of pressure to immediately establish a style. learning consistency certainly has its merits and it’s an important skill, but i feel like that’s a skill you establish later on rather than trying to pigeonhole yourself into it from the get-go. i forget who exactly said this, but there was an artist that aptly pointed out that it’s not a signature way of drawing, but a signature way of seeing (how you abstract things, etc). everyone has different needs for their art style + what they want their art to accomplish though

[@behindzerosp]

Okay here goes nothing. I have been struggling with major depressive disorder for the last 7 years. It used to be easier to manage but once the pandemic hit my mental health tanked. I stopped drawing (except for the occasional sketch), and (for the most part) I stopped communicating with people. I havent been able to work the last year and at the moment I'm struggling to get out of bed in the morning and perform basic self care. I know that starting and finishing something like this is a long shot for me, but I want to give it a try. You've inspired me to start drawing and learning about art again. You have no idea how much that means to me. Thank you for reigniting a passion for something so dear to my heart.

WOOOO SAD GOT IN AN ETHAN BECKER VIDEO! POGCHAMP! HER ANIMATICS ARE SO GREAT :D

[@alienfortytwo]

Yep, this is a cool method. It's really similar to what I've learned for screenwriting. The interesting thing for me is that genre and story changed significantly as my idea developed so after a few hours references that I've chosen didn't really fit anymore and I had to change them. So, now I have a cool concept for a story and a few characters that I could potentially fill my entire instagram account with. But every illustration idea I can come up with goes far beyond anything I've drawn before and I have to come up with a way to keep it manageable in terms of difficulty level 😔

[@bravadoavocado2382]

I love this video, I usually pick a piece apart & try to reverse engineer.

The effectiveness of an exorcism for self destructive behaviors, accompanied by some sound words, made for a delightfully unexpected approach to a pep talk. Very first video I’ve seen on this channel and I’m blown away. This is going to be all I do for a few weeks, just wait. My ADHD and fascination with descriptive story telling in various mediums are going to get me back into drawing and story design guaranteed. Maybe I’ll do more with it this time or maybe I’ll just regain a fun creative outlet for my hobby wheel-and if I’m honest I’m pretty happy with the idea of either.
