[@genuinereactions3236]

sounds like a you issue

[@Adaactar]

As someone who prefers drawing characters and always leaves backgrounds as an afterthought, I would really love for you to go more in depth to different styles and methods of drawing backgrounds. I have had 1, 2 and 3 point perspective drilled into me endlessly and would love to hear about you talk about any other methods when it comes to shading, colour and composition as that is where I find my illustrations falling apart most of the time, hence, why I don't tend to draw backgrounds unless needed.

[@mrfake5251]

It's amazing how Draw Like a Sir always releases content just when I need them!

[@razemento4092]

Bro's Rough sketch looks better than my 1 hour drawing

[@oyehoyesyaapa]

I care A LOT about the backgrounds. My composition is absolutely rubbish and ADHD does not help the learning process. You're literally the only channel on KZbin with the right knowledge to delivery speed ratio. Can you please make more stuff on backgrounds, as you said. I genuinely appreciate all the work you put into editing your videos, and the knowledge you have to offer, thank you. My neurodiverse brain is eternally grateful for your existence, sir 🙌

[@Librivore42]

Your editing is always so perfect 😭 I watch your videos not just to learn art tips but to pick up editing tips too!

[@ethanlundy8697]

I love how he's teaching the theory of background instead of here's a specific background tutorial

[@rusted_ursa]

I want to create my own visual novel, and I've been really relying on your tutorials to polish my art style. Genuinely as helpful as the art class I spent hundreds of dollars on in college. When I have disposable income again, you can bet I'll become a Patron.

[@terransystems3291]

Hello Marcel. I just wanted to say thank you very much for uploading your tutorials. Because of you, I've begun to pursue drawing more seriously so that I can actually churn out something aesthetically pleasing to people. I'm done posting my degeneracy on e621.

despite the fact you have very few videos,you have 572K subs.This proves that you have amazing content so i agree with you people should subscribe to you for all your work and effort

i can actually say that your tutorials have made me better in drawing, when i watch them things just make sense. also when having watched one or ur videos i just cant resist to draw. we love u marcel!

Definitely, I just subscribed a few days ago. I watched one video and the amazing jokes, makes me laugh so much, I’m already enjoying it.😊

What a great video! Can't wait for the composition video, I really like how can a good composition turn a simple drawing into a great artwork ♡

Having been on and off with art. This channel has been a great way to condense a lot of stuff I barely remembered, but with the follow through for more advanced stages to get back to developing a hobby I've enjoyed in my spare time. Thank You Sir for teaching me too... well, you know the line.

Thank you.

[@michaglas6404]

tbh this is one of the most interesting topics to me. I always wonder how manga artists make backgrounds as to be honest this seems like the most time consuming thing when drawing, if possible I'd love if you could explain how to use backgrounds effectively in manga pages, like on some panels you have very simple backgrounds, on others it's complicated whilst another background could be entirely blank. How can you use the backgrounds as effectively and efficiently as possible? what's the difference between a simple and complicated background?

[@IzzyFloofZ]

I have a big project coming up where I’ll need to draw my own backgrounds and this video has definitely helped! Thanks so much! I now know how to draw backgrounds Like A Sir! ❤️

[@camillepotter9580]

Wish I had seen this video before I began illustrating my children's book. I drew the foreground/middle ground where the action was and figured i would add in the background after. Now I am having to see its not so easy to get perspective lines or make the pages relate to one another visually to make the background consistent as much as I would like I like too, how you layered the images and rotate them to see them separate for clarity. . I may make a perspective lines sheet to put under my drawings from now on at least! I plan on watching your other videos now. Thank you very much for making this very helpful tutorial! Your illustrative artwork is amazing

[@thomasjones902]

Thank you so much for the new vid, other tutorials on this never really explain what they do to make a drawing. And also holy cow the editing is crazy my dude

Honestly for me these are easily the most valuable tutorials you have. I'm not telling you to gear your channel towards my wants but yeah, I personally don't struggle with characters or linework but I do struggle with backgrounds and perspective. So please, more on this topic, if the videos do well, is very much welcome!

[@emyemi5707]

Just to follow your videos without subtitles and concentrate better I had to raise my level enough in two months to understand, the best investment of my life, especially as an autodidact Ps:My English teacher is speechless at my written expressions now, it's half thanks to you😂😂😂

[@kyuubi64]

That video was really helpful i had no idea about how to draw background and i always starts just drawing it without putting any thoughts about it and that looks bad but now i know to sketch base then vanishing point and i really get a important and awesome thing that i might have never be able to learn... And that's how to make charectors make sense in that sketch like size thanks a lot sir...

[@edge3220]

I strongly hope you do that follow up on landscape composition. Backgrounds and scenery are such an underrated and underappreciated part of art, yet it brings alive the world where the characters live.

Also don't be afraid to move the vanishing points WAY beyond the canvas. It just depends on what you're going for, so they can be near or far.

I am a huge fan of the trashy romance fantasy comics, ive been reading them for years, so i want to make my own. I feel like this video and the vanishing point video give me some solid skills for me to work on. Thank you so much!
