I am drawing with Foam Grip Tubes from Impresa to ease my hand strain. You can buy them here: amzn.to/3KgpDXs
I often ink with a .05 Black Micron Pen. You can buy them here: amzn.to/3vJe5GU

You took an intimidating concept and made it feel really approachable. I mean, that's kinda you anyway, but drawing figures in iso was something I never even considered before you came along.

[@mapcrow]

Oh thank you!! Thanks lovely to hear!!

[@mrmattdollar]

Literally perfect timing. Started searching for isometric figure drawing guides yesterday and found nothing. This is great!

[@mapcrow]

Oh wonderful! Thanks for watching!!

[@bradleyspivey8336]

This was an awesome tutorial. I didn’t expect an actual breakdown and assumed it was going to be a general (and less helpful) overview. Pleasantly surprised. Thank you for all the tips

[@Felder93]

Absolutely killed the commentary this episode, as always, I can't wait for the next video! I'm excited to give the podcast a shot too! More of your takes on things is welcome

[@mapcrow]

Thank you!! Cheers!!

Im a scientist and i work with a guy that works with butterflies. He told me a fun story about how his boss had him poke caterpillars eyes out to demonstrate that the species have some other form of colour perception and dont need to *see* to be able to camouflage. Anyway, great video, very much inspired to go practise now!

[@ftcartography]

Great tutorial :D Perspective has always been my shortcoming, so this has been pretty inspiring!

[@mapcrow]

Oh wonderful!! I hope this is helpful for folks!!

[@ento7035]

Working on an isometric map for my D&D campaign and this was exactly the video I needed to find, totally hyped to find your vids, love your work.

[@plaidpvcpipe3792]

8:52 I’m stealing that. Creepy as hell and also I love moths. I think it’s because of the godzilla monster Mothra, she was so cool! Fun fact: moths are cooler than butterflies

[@jacopodondi2372]

I started wathing your content and I'm loving it. Despite not beeing really gifted at anything artistic, your videos bring me a lot of inspiration. I wrote all this just to say: mad props, you are great. Anyway, where can I find your podcast?

[@mapcrow]

Thanks for watching!! I’m so glad my work is inspiring for you!! Check the description for podcast link, the first full episode hits tomorrow!!

[@ratedbforbeans2845]

Amazing work and I love the Guy Fawkes/V style mini you showed!

[@Jpoun22]

Love the video, nicely informative, lovely to watch, and really makes my fingers itch for some art supplies; I'm especially delighted by the Schnabelpercht you drew!

[@mapcrow]

Heck yeah! Love me a Schnabelpercht! Almost as much as I love traditional art tools!

[@elijahmorrow4662]

I'm fascinated by your pencil holder. What kind of effect does it have inn your drawing to have such a wide grip?

[@mapcrow]

It reduces hand strain.

[@Omega_Orion]

I really like to draw funky little characters, and I think I really resonate with the style and this is the perfect tutorial to try

[@bruemden]

really cool! and i love your artstyle :D

[@mapcrow]

Thanks for watching!!

[@chohouse711]

I've just started watching your stuff recently and wow... WOW! Everything you draw is so so beautiful and alive. You fill me with such inspiration to create my own worlds as well. Even though it's all in black marker, there's such life in everything you make. I can't get enough of it. I'd honestly love to commission you, or buy a large print of a dungeon you drew and put it up on my wall. By the way, I've seen a few videos now where you have your drawing tool in what looks like some foam. What is that? Kind of reminds me of a pool noodle, ha! I'd love to know, because it looks soft and it might help me as well when it comes to drawing. I have a terrible habit of using a death grip on my pens and pencils.

[@mapcrow]

Thanks for watching!! If you check the description for the videos with the foam grips, it’ll say what they are. I need to take care of my hands because I draw so much! I am not available for commissions at the moment, as I’m finishing up some freelance and teaching the end of the semester! Cheers!!

[@mitchellsink2584]

Dude, this is gold. You should write an art tutorial book. I'd buy that up fast.

[@maglock1857]

This is awesome

[@mapcrow]

Oh! Thank you so much!!

[@maglock1857]

@@mapcrow ever since I had to think about art in a professional/ career sense, my overall passion and creativity took a nose dive. Your video helped remind me of how fun character/game design can be!

[@mapcrow]

Maglock yeah, I can understand that. Sometimes half the work is finding the fun. School and Jobs can suck the joy and curiosity out of what you love, so it’s up to us to invite that joy and surprise back in!!

[@clangauss4155]

New favorite channel.

[@chuckman20]

Ah I can hear it now... Pc: that doesn't have enough fingers. Me: that's fine. Your more then welcome to draw something yourself. Pc: But YOU'RE the DM. You have to worry about my imersi... Me: (rolls a considerable amount of dice while smiling) Great work as always!

[@MrSpinozanoza]

Liking mainly because this video contains forbidden knowledge of the dark fluttering ones.

[@StarlineHodge]

what is that cushy thing around the micron pen? :O

[@mapcrow]

These are grip extenders! They help with hand strain!

[@MrVelcropenguin]

“I guess I’ll die angry” is what I need on a shirt lol.

[@haileesmith5391]

[@mapcrow]

We just can’t help ourselves!!

[@drawing5007]

[@clementine5748]

[@mapcrow]

Thank you!!

[@MrNocturnalEmission]

Yo I love your work, I could totally see them on Displate or something. I'd love to have some of your dungeons on a metal poster.

[@Jimmy7345-g5b]

great episode!

[@mapcrow]

Thank you!!

[@dirkvoltaar]

I assumed everybody knew that about moths.

[@mapcrow]

I just wanna make sure, ya know?

[@tabithahooper3051]

Good golly the last minute on moths was wild! Count me as a believer now.

[@mapcrow]

Tabitha Hooper moth approved

[@geoffreynelson6413]

What do you call that pencil holder? Did you make it?

[@ucthinhhuynhha8216]

How can you draw them in such a simple way?

[@elizabethrowe5960]

**adds Splatbook to saved podcasts** Any chance you could do something that's horizontal sometime? Maybe just a simple shark?

[@mapcrow]

Maybe I'll do some Spelljammer ships!!

[@elizabethrowe5960]

@@mapcrow That would certainly work! Thanks!

[@PedroSantos-ie1oy]

hey isn't that pencil subber kinda small? like you could get a lot more traction with a bigger one imo great video btw, really inspiring to start doing isometric drawing

[@garrido_heron]

Any plans on doing more drawing tutorials? Love your style but I cant draw.

[@mapcrow]

Not really. I’m sure there are plenty of other videos for you.

[@garrido_heron]

@@mapcrow ok :)

[@david18cruz1989]

what is that rubber around your pencil?

[@mapcrow]

It's explained in the description.

[@diankinz]

I really want to listen to podcasts, but my English is barely enough for these videos ╯︿╰
