[@ursaun7]

Never seen a more calculated artist, beautiful line work

[@kazuya9643]

I really like how detail your work are

[@alexanderronan33]

pro tip : watch series at flixzone. Been using it for watching all kinds of movies during the lockdown.

[@abdullahrex2171]

@Alexander Ronan Definitely, have been using flixzone for months myself =)

[@Malay-kw1qs]

I also do all the steps the reason why I came to this video was to make sure I was planning my drawing correctly. Thank you so much😊😊

[@Allmystuff100]

I am using these steps in my portrait drawing because it makes so much sense. Thank you Dan!

[@waitedtoolong5328]

Aaaaaah havent draw yesterday, bad day..this lift me up, so many artist uploading today, my heart flutters

[@Malay-kw1qs]

When you was explaining in the concept about you thinking what to draw and when you draw it on paper it doesn't go right on paper how it did in your head, THAT IS SOO ME!! I am so glad I pressed this video to help me on how to start planning thank you!!👏👏

[@DJDrue]

Thanks for posting this. I would have enjoyed seeing some of the sketches that you made during the process.

[@beyondthestars8860]

TYSM, for sharing these tips, I was struggling so much to complete a good drawing, and based on your tips there was a lot I was lacking.

[@2-d270]

Thanks man this tips are going to help me a lot. Awesome drawing by the way. I can't wait to see final drawing and hear the story behind such an awesome work:

[@DanBeardshaw]

Ivan Piršljin thanks you, I’m excited to show you

[@doomster2914]

Thank you mate! Can never get enough of the basics

[@jeaner2966]

I wish I could live inside your head for a day. You simply amaze me!! You are so creative and talented!!

[@TheiLame]

Thanks for this video. Recently i have been really interested in how people get ideas and how do they draw these out. So a lot of planning is needed, i see. And loads of sketching something from various angles.

[@s3ntry948]

I like how ths drawing tells a story each time you draw a new object

[@johnpaulthegreatmusiclover8642]

you are the only one who influenced me to do realistic.

[@TheDgrinch69]

That scene is coming out so good! Thanks for sharing Dan!

[@DanBeardshaw]

TheDgrinch69 thanks!

[@ignitedmindsind]

beautiful detailed work

[@dapencilshinobi]

I love that this channel is paper and pencil. Traditional is the only way . Digital art is not art. Having a computer do your work for you is not art . I’m subbing

[@CreativeFosse]

WOW! You just made my day... Heck, I think you just made my summer as well!! This is awesome and it remind me how I used to draw in my youth. Anyway, this is just great work. I'm gonna share this one at my site on Facebook. Thank you for being an inspiration!

[@diantian7169]

Helpful...I needed this...thanks. Amazing drawing and those details. Love it!

[@othan7516]

Loving the way your your channel is evolving Dan, great work

[@DanBeardshaw]

Jonathan Geraldino thanks for sticking around man

[@iansloan4261]

Thank you Dan for that comprehensive tutorial. Just as an aside regarding terminology, the word thumbnail dates to the 17th century and means, obviously, a small sketch of an idea. I've also heard of a reference that says artists used to dip their thumbnail in ink and make preliminary sketches using their fingernail as a pen nib. Obviously they would have needed long nails. Whatever the case, looking forward to your next video!

[@BabySquirrelBeading]

Wow! That was extraordinary. Thank you for all the great advice.

[@lbaqnoe]

Thank you so much ,i’ll def take your tip by heart, i wanted to make something meaningful for once

[@ilinzrh]

I think that you’re one of the most amazing artists I have ever known!!! Love every video!

[@menwithven2862]

Can't wait for the next one it a bit like the Cybermen. I really recommend listening to spare parts the audio drama as it is very similar in tone to your world. Also look at "big finish spare parts" concept art I think that it will really inspire you.

[@verdibarberis3449]

This is some solid advice, thank you!!!

[@robinl9206]

You're an amazing artist. Always inspiring and I make use of your tips. Thank you❤

[@hexkwondo]

Man that drawing had to take forever to finish!

[@tinlidtoo6615]

Great work, thanks for sharing 👍😁

[@robertomontero9457]

Damn, gotta be patient in that one👌

[@ArtofRohit]

Awesome drawing

[@nemanjastanojevic133]

Your artwork is amazing!

[@davidthoomullil2291]

Love your videos they are best

[@zahrakh.d1400]

LOOK AT THE DETAILS WOAH

[@Envymushr00m]

I'm sorry... your tips went through my ears because I was too mesmerized by your detailed drawing.

[@DanBeardshaw]

Envymushr00m haha thanks

[@jerseyse410]

I just found your channel today and I love the cyberpunk-esque atmosphere your drawings bring about. Question though, you said you do everything in pencil, have you thought about scanning the base sketch into Photoshop and painting it there? I want to eventually get into digital paintings and I think this would be an awesome digital painting.

[@NihoAme]

some good advise . here is some over one, Don't use fabercastell pencil at this level. that is good to start but you need to change after you are not a debutant anymore. use staedtler or caran d'arche if you are rich ahah also you can't get all the contrast with one pencil. you should use 2H,4H,HB ,2B, 4B,9B you never spend enoth time learning the humain body. that is the source of most of improvment in drawing so go on croquis cafe and do more body...etc sorry for my english

[@NihoAme]

so i just watched the video about the skull and the spine ... not that great. you can see that he don't really know the shape of the skull for exemple. then i talked about the caran d'arche pencil they are two time more expenssive than staedtler and maybe 3 time more than faber castle. so no it is not an easy buy.

[@yssy_ie4872]

Great video like always love you sow much💖💖💖

[@Midotaha1234]

Great drawing 👌👌. More beginner's content please .

[@mojito248]

Useful tips thanks! :D & man you're work is so detailed 👌✨

[@LiberatedGuardian]

Amazing!

[@JimTopdog]

Wow

[@SunnyPatel-qj5nx]

these detailed drawings would be perfect as a jigsaw puzzle

[@JSheetzArtwork]

What is your perspective/view on applying this to abstract drawing? Whenever i think a lot and plan the drawing when doing abstract or doodling it ends up worse. This seems to apply to me even when i do realism. If i just zone out and stop thinking,no planning i draw fast,detailed and realistic. An example of this would be my 30 minute realistic drawings with a ballpoint pen. I do a scribble technique. I just scribble and put in lines as fast as possible without thinking. For example if you drive the same route everyday eventually you dont think about how to get there,you dont pay attention the road names and you just do it on instinct. (Sometimes i will drive somewhere then when i stop ill forget the entire drive because its instinctual) I feel that i draw based on instinct rather than planning. Whenever i try to plan my mind gets overloaded with information then im unable to draw. If i try to plan sections at a time i have the same issue. Thoughts?

[@DanBeardshaw]

J.Sheetz Artwork in terms of abstract work I can’t give much advice but most of my planning is due to the overall project. I have goals and requirements for this project and it’s all about creating a narrative in some way, there is definitely a time and place to go into things unplanned and a lot of the time I improvise along way even after I have some kind of starting plan. I think for doing these videos and trying to work towards the things I need to then I have no option but to create a sort of system and schedule to work with. Thanks for the comment man

[@JSheetzArtwork]

Dan Beardshaw You are welcome. I think its best for everyone to do what is most efficient for them. What works for one person might not work for someone else. As long as you keep creating and striving to improve :)

[@nolovedivision3882]

I am inspired

[@justchillash]

Thanks for the tips your da best

[@tekki5744]

I swear to god dan deserves more subscribers

[@DanBeardshaw]

Aaron Lorenzo just happy to have any kind of audience mate, appreciate the watch!

[@aaronlorenzo6752]

Dan Beardshaw yow man keep it bro you keep on inspiring me man

[@amrindersingh5952]

Am liking that your music taste is changing too(?), from dubstepy to cyberpunkish .

[@creativethoughts]

Your project is going amazing 👍👏👐

[@jananisampath9709]

Are you using a single grade pencil or grades of them?

[@lexicon3392]

Do you spend a set amount of time on the thumbnail sketches or continue until the composition feels right? Also a video on the thumbnail stage is a great idea

[@DanBeardshaw]

Lewis Smith I didn’t really do much for this drawing, but for things like the banner on the channel. I would normally do some rough sketches until I get something that feels right. I also like to just go along with stuff and improvise as I go, which probably increases the time it takes for me to finish the outlining stage because I’m always putting down the pencil and thinking what would be good to do here etc haha

[@katiefrank2162]

I haven’t been feeling well the last couple of days so I’ve been saving you video. Thank you for making me smile :) I love how you broke down the process. Is your story set in Tokyo? Or is it a secret? Sorry if I’m being nosing! But no hints this time?! Lol :) As always your work was amazing and I love the details.

[@anuptamang4872]

Can u draw a zetangle art

[@menwithven2862]

Honestly one of the most unique way of using graphite( semi realism illustration/highly complex cartoon) with out being pretentious.

[@funpathik]

Amaizing

[@kouvang6674]

WOW I hope this WORKS%!

[@lynnrushton7458]

WOW‼️😳👍

[@angelp2033]

I think I have a bad habit with having an idea, attempting it, and when it doesn't look right I give up on it. Causes a lot of lost projects. I also think I don't utilize references often lol

[@enthusiastning8229]

What grade of pencil you are using?

[@DanBeardshaw]

Diosming Masendo 2B here

[@enthusiastning8229]

Thanks. By the way great work. ^_^

[@justinawad3488]

Wow man ive been with u since 40k subs and ur almost at 150k and u shock me with every upload man i have an idea for one of your robot episodes how about robots coming down from space fighting the robots already on earth just throwing it out there cheers

[@DanBeardshaw]

Juicy Jayz my man👊 cool idea

[@shatha-u6q]

YOUR DRAWING goals! :( 💘💘، how much year drawing?

[@DanBeardshaw]

Shatha everyday I try to draw

[@christophheinze9528]

Nice

[@franciscoaragao5398]

Where is the full drawing?

[@joshuakolling4869]

Geoff Darrow fan?

[@joostborst]

Maybe you could redo this video and show clips of the stages you go trough? The was distracting because it did not show what you are talking about. It would make it a lot more clear. Still breathtaking to see you fill in this sketch and improvise on it while working on it.

[@DanBeardshaw]

joostborst I won’t re do the video man but I’ll do separate videos going more in depth on some of these stages like the thumbnailing etc. This was a project update and I’ve decided that I can also make these useful by talking about drawing whilst the footage is on screen:)

[@jcepri]

I have to wonder if you drew all of this initially or was it traced?

[@DanBeardshaw]

Jeff C how could i trace something that I put together myself, it’s challenging to produce something original but it’s the direction I want to head in

[@floorpuncher3280]

Your logo really reminds me of the LoL team TSM’s logo.

[@KodaBunn]

does tsm still play lol? i though it was just fortnite now .-.

[@floorpuncher3280]

24 Pokemiles I think.

[@JeTorch]

♥

[@dictionplacement5467]

saw a kid draw starwars detailed environments exactly like this in the 7th grade off the bat, no references just paper and pencil. that was back in 2004, to this day I wonder what the hell he's doing, probably works for some big name company making close to six figures.

[@linvol20]

nice work - but the video could have been better if you actually showed the different stages.

[@pandamoon_man3747]

Only one technique I want to know How do you stop getting lead on the bottom of your hand!?!??!?

[@lovepandey6316]

Sir I am indian and your fan

[@greenc1088]

I hope you can stick to the point, with that I mean the actual 7 steps and be concise. Kinda confusing while you're drawing and at the same time speaking too much.
