Mikey, we all know the only way to draw a circle well is to draw an entire head and erase all of the details

[@accurate_end7311]

Of course, how could you do it any other way?

[@lolabest1652]

David Shaul Idk get a circle stencil to be lazy

[@accurate_end7311]

Lola Best that's way to difficult

[@delilahh972]

Akira Ishin exactly! Its the only way!

Minding my own business just sketching some body block and then "I learned that from my dad when he walked out" I lost my mind laughing. It was so casual it felt so genuine

I was just following along until he said that, I lost my train of though too!

Mikey is a great instructor and entertainer, one of my favorite artists on the tube.

[@markiyt3923]

bro wtf right when I read ""I learned that from my dad when he walked out"" he said it word for word as I was reading it in sync with how fast i read it in my head.

[@jeremydiaz9642]

Mikey is probably the best Artist channels out there. He uses disposable pencils e.g. Mechanical or a regular pencil, and a simple sheet of paper you can find anywhere, and he rarely uses top of the line artist equipment that are expensive ... *_Who else thinks Mikey is one of the best Artist Channels?_*

[@Chimponaut]

You must be bad at searching, there's a sea of insanely good channels.

[@usernamemykel]

You're not aware that Mark Crilley also promotes the use of simple, basic "tools"? In fact, just yesterday, I received his book "The Two Pencil Method". You need to check out his YT channel.

[@sugarice72]

@@usernamemykel the comment says *one* of the best

[@livetochange974]

@@sugarice72 but he isn't considered one of the best, he's average at best lmao, he uses references Most of the time to draw and teach us too....dosent know everything in art just drawing girls, go watch sinix design , Ethan baker, proko, sycra, Alphonso dunn, markcrilley, etc. So many better artists and teachers there teaching you the fundementals, you won't be good at art just drawing naked girls just sayinll.

I was kinda zoning out doing something else while I was watching this and that comment grabbed my ear and pulled me into the video. LOL I had to rewind to hear it again. Funny af and savage for sure. I had to pause and see if anyone else caught the joke too. That was so unexpected and perfect. 😂

[@shiobuzz3724]

The lighthearted music in the background made it even funnier.

[@cherryxoxox9724]

Lol I noticed

[@suandorego370]

SHIT I LOVED IT SO MUCH

[@jellybx]

Until now i always draw some lines and cubes as a warmup before draw something else. I think the 1st step should be about how to create a good line since there are a lot of beginner artist with shaky and wobbly lines struggle to draw something. Nice tutorial btw, actually the stuff i just realized from this video is how you move your hand, grip the pencil and rotate the paper to form the lines. Awesome trick, and love the triangle!

[@scarythingsarescary6493]

Wow your really fun to watch. Seeing myself do the basics makes me dream bigger. Your a treasure mate! Thx!.

[@KatarenaSavage]

I was in the middle of doodling a skeleton with devil horns, and when you started talking about shapes, I was all OH THIS MAKES SENSE and started putting lots of shapes in my doodle to help my brain around the things you were talking about - thanks! my horns were just circles and triangles and it helped me understand the form of that kind of thing so much better :)

[@LeyJoD]

Honestly I've watched your videos and now after realizing what you say and do in practice, it's like I'm Neo and your Morpheus. I now can see the shapes in everything and my eyes are open. It's like I'm finally becoming a better artist.

Mikey! First of all, YOU'RE AWESOME! I love your tutorials! You're helping me learn to draw when others couldn't! I also just recently learned that you can create your own playlists of people's youtube videos (a feature I'm so very glad of), and so now I have a full course created for myself which includes your art tutorials in an order that makes the most sense to me! Thank you for making simple and easy to understand (and also entertaining) tutorial videos! I look forward to contributing to your patreon account soon!

oh heck yeah! basic shapes are also good to tinker with getting mileage and muscle training. and for learning how things interact with horizon points and learning draw distances (line lengths) without needing a ruler as much :) not to mention help training the intuitive portion of the brain to help with said 'visualization' on paper.

Yo Mikey for circles you can also place one finger next to the pencil and turn the page around your finger as you hold your pencil with the same hand. More fingers larger circle.

[@demonitizeddemonz5977]

Personally, not a beginner myself, I went my whole life basically being a human copier or only drawing things that spontaneously oozed onto a page. So, right now I'm forgetting all that and learning from the ground up so I can draw things without needing a reference. I hope I'll finally be able to translate the OCs in my head to paper. But baby steps.
