really love the fact you take time out your day to help small designers.

[@noxabellus]

isnt that like....his job.....?

[@noxabellus]

Not saying what he does isn't fantastic. Just that its weird to say "take time out of your day" like it was a personal favor

[@jrive9506]

noxabellus but he doesn't have to. He could just upload videos of speedart or his designs.

[@ForeverDansky]

noxabellus Aha no, my main job is running a one-man design studio. The KZbin videos are something extra to help other designers on their creative journey. 😉

[@GETLOWDUDE]

In my Graphic design class, first time in the class, the entire class had to complete the entire Bézier game before you could work in adobe illustrator lol

[@ChrisRuch]

Should I be ashamed that I just did this very thing to my students this year?

[@ghostinthewires7006]

@@ChrisRuch I'm not into graphic design, but I'm doing front end stuff and I can suppose that it wasn't a good tactic :D

[@franciscoadonis1068]

Honestly that's the best thing they could have done to me, i've never had any problems with the pen tool since my professors introduced me to this game

[@kinghassy334]

Seems chill

[@sportsfan120577]

@@ChrisRuch I'm very old but have come to be really become intrigued by graphic design. I practice the pen tool everyday after work. In your opinion can one learn graphic design without attending school? I read and watch a lot of videos to try to understand more.

[@swervedesignsuk]

I just realised I've been using the pen tool wrong this whole time haha!

[@ForeverDansky]

Swerve Designs Aha yea! Found this new way of drawing a heart quite interesting. ✍️

[@jayvadodara9463]

my wacom pen working everywhere but not in the game any reason ?

[@subfrosty]

Love you swerve

[@kennethschaijk8698]

same here, been using the pen tool for 12 or so years but never made a heart like this. but it works :D

[@Samtell]

jaimin rajput what game?

[@octimus2000]

Fiiiinalyyyy. Now I can use that tool without stressing out an making loops everywhere!

[@ForeverDansky]

Awesome :D

[@HebrewMadeEasy]

Same here! I actually got lost after two min when i used it and gave up on it.. now i want to master it

[@khanbestopped]

Really appreciate this. I found using the pen tool so intimidating and annoying. Thanks to you and the game, it feels like I know what I am doing now. Kudos and keep up the quality work.

[@ForeverDansky]

Zain K That's great Zain! Glad to know it was helpful 😊

[@pixelandbracket]

never heard of that site before, pretty cool!

[@Vikashkumar-cu1li]

thanku soooooo much dansky

[@richardhall485]

Ive completely missed that alt click trick (used on the heart) this whole time!

[@InfinyteamCompany]

me too hahaha now it's looks like much easier than before to make a heart using pen tool instead of a circles and shapes!

[@shaqahs]

For years I've been reading and watching tutorials to master the pen tool and I always found them difficult and confusing. THANK YOU so much for this video. I can't wait to try it out again and master it by playing that game.

[@ForeverDansky]

Awesome to hear Shakeeb! :)

[@rmp5s]

This is friggin AMAZING!!

[@sapakolaki]

Thank you Dansky for explaining the way some things works. I've made much tries to improve my pen tool using before, but without any result. Now i got all this thing with the angles!!!

[@TheSmilingWeb]

Thank you for sharing this website! It's absolutely brilliant!

[@mansourmikaeili6787]

Thank you so much for the link

[@Beatsteaks1000]

Watching lots of different tutorials lately, I can honestly say you're one of the best when it comes to giving the right amount of information, really motivational and with calm, useful commentary that makes it easy listening to you and follow along :) Are you going to do more live streams in the future or have you maybe considered streaming on Twitch, that'd be pretty cool !

[@bellat4076]

what a great tool thank you! and you are fun.

[@amouresseamouresse8897]

Thank you so much! That's so helpful!

[@alfredthenice]

thanks loved it !

[@coolamericano]

I have a pen tool trick I discovered, when you break the handle with ALT, try to make it as small to possible in the angle you want to draw next to avoid having those annoying sharp curves, with that you can really use it on anything. I managed to do the cloud in 5 nodes

[@nelucaramarin9449]

Great way to exercise!

[@lalithsgallery3586]

the most helpful video I've ever seen on KZbin, this is just what i was looking for

[@bas2362]

I did the paperclip in 8 using the heart-like method. I'm new to the pen tool and I'm quite impressed what you can do with it! (EDIT) Paperclip: 8/10 Wrench: 8/10 Cloud: 5/8 (Least nodes used) Head: 12/16 Duck: 9/12 Hat: 7/11 (Could've done it in 6 but made a mistake) S-shape: 8/12 [At this point I stopped] I'm well aware of the fact that they aren't very beautiful but it works...

To get 10 on the paper clip you make a line going straight from one side to another on the smallest bend and curve it. This video was really helpful!
