[@Patricia-nw5iu]

+Arsugan Wijayanathan Well I guess that if you go on his deviantart or web site you will probably see most of the artworks that are in his porfolio.

[@numbuh53]

yeah but a portfolio showcases only a few artworks that he shows to industry professionals in order to get a job. it's different from just his deviantart gallery.

[@melondick]

Luner which one? I've been trying to get the dude to show me the portfolio he got accepted to art center's ED program with since before he got on yt.

[@gracewu8091]

Congrats on graduating Ross!! You are an inspiration to everyone, not just because of your amazing art but wonderful personality! My New Years resolution is to start investing more time in doing art and starting to do art digitally (you have really motivated me to not only begin drawing/painting digitally but also have a fresh, open mind to life). Another one of my New Years resolutions is to better myself as a person, when I found you on KZbin, I saw how you shined with brilliance, not just in your art but you as a person (your personality and attitude toward life) and I aspire to achieve even half of the confidence and positive outlook you have. Thank you very much Ross for changing my perspective and life, opening my eyes to all the wonderful things in art and the world that I missed when I was stuck in a deep, dark hole of depression. After discovering you, I learned to love art and myself once more. I cannot express in words how much you have impacted my life for the better.

[@Rusty6790]

+Grace Wu He really does have an amazing affect on viewers!

[@lawsdraws]

+Grace Wu THIS.

[@rosetoness]

This was such a good explanation!

[@artofdylan2356]

GOALS. ACTUAL GOALS! Congratulations again Ross! 🎉❤️✨

[@artofdylan2356]

+Dylan Grey New Year's Resolution: well my first goal obviously is to be better than Ross (sorry man nothing personal haha!) second is to have a successful kickstarter project with an indie game we are working on and to do that I plan to have better time management and just work hard as always to fulfill my ambition to become a renowned character designer/illustrator :)

[@couldus7028]

whyd you take a break from social media pls tel mejavsodvdje so dn

[@GINGYPLATYPUS]

Ross you're actually sick dude. your art is awesome and you're such an uplifting person and seem really genuine in every video. I can tell you love what you're doing and I wish you all the success in the world

[@SirachaPike]

Something that makes me happy is when others tell me they think my drawings are amazing. Keep up the good work Ross

[@InterSev]

Congrats on graduating, Ross! My personal new year resolutions include: 1.) Get better at figure drawing and character designing. 2.) Ultimately staying more positive towards my school work and my life.

[@detourr]

Draw more, push myself, learn more and keep doing what I love (animating) and if i given the oppurtunity to change career i just wanna be like you ross.

[@brandonslicker10]

Goals are to be more productive Plans are college Ambitions to create more art! I'm so appreciative of your videos, Ross. I wish you a very successful career! I'm glad I was part of such an amazing journey, even just from the sidelines!

[@xelacremant7396]

Man, I have seen her like twice, but I am SUCH a fanboy of Nima. Damn. Congrats on graduating !

[@Magna-Magus]

Happy New Year Ross and 'congraduations'! My resolution this year is to try and find the positive in everything no matter how small. Not only for myself - but for the people around me, too.

[@MinaRoy]

Holy smokes your graduation was intense!!! That's awesome! Also, wanted to send a shoutout that when I'm needing a feel-good video in the background, my immediate impulse is to turn on RossDraws. Love the energy and positivity and absolute silliness you bring. Keep being you!

[@kiwitowel]

Scott! He and his brother were teachers at the summer program when I took it! (I had Thomas, who is equally awesome!) Met Tim at open house as well, freaking designed a Batmobile!!! I'm sad to hear he's leaving Art Center and I'll never get the chance to be taught by him. :( Congrats Ross!!!

[@sugarwaters]

Congrats Ross! For the past few years, I haven't been doing resolutions, I've been doing a yearly phrase/word. This year my theme is "Do the work". I just graduated with a graphic design degree and I really want to get myself out there on the internet and start freelancing so I'm dedicated to really putting in the work and time to making these things happen!

[@artofdaisy]

My New Years resolution is to... Be better at identifying my flaws in every way- whether that be art and life and fix them! Be a better person than I was yesterday. And congrats Ross!!!

[@Samuraiox]

Happy new year Ross!!! This year's going to be a great one, I can just feel it!! I got four issues of my comic so planning on doing 5 issues this year, maybe a couple other comic projects as well, and make it out to the west coast and see the Pacific Ocean! My ambitions are of the grandest scale and really looking to get a publisher now that I've shown a steady work process! All the best this year Ross!!!

[@lTriforcel]

Pfffffttt. My new years resolution is to actually follow through with a new years resolution for once in my life!!!

[@Bernie2597]

CONGRATS ROSS! Watching this video made me feel like I should work hard more on the things I do. My New Year Resolutions would be practice more on my art, especially digitally and less procrastinate

[@HyruleExorcist]

I was smiling the whole time I was watching this! Congrats Ross! Fist bump 👊 My new years resolution is to draw and post something each day for every day of the year. I am currently on day 7 and loving it. Keep up the awesome work man!

[@bomantron3266]

Ross, I friken love your channel. I have always wanted to draw things like you do but never had the time or money for lessons or self teaching. But after finding your channel (through league of legends through All Chat) I am so inspired to make drawing my hobby. I want to create imaginary worlds on a canvas. Thank you for your enthusiasm in your videos! also, Congrats on graduating!!!

[@castoniatk439]

My New Years Resolutions is to become better at drawing, my goal is to work in the gaming industry as an artist and I plan to do that by working hard on my skills and practising a lot and I hope to finally find my style because I think that is one of the hard things to do. If I achieve these things I'm sure everything else will be OK ! Congratz on the graduation ! STAY COOL :3

[@kaelmolo1432]

CONGRATULATIONS! Wow.. you were awesome even way before you graduated. I hope I see more of your IPs esp the siren thing. looks really interesting.

[@Chris.artist]

Congrats Ross!! My new year resolution is to keep pushing myself more with new art techniques 🎉🙌

[@Takasart]

My new year resolutions are: To find my flaws and work on them (become a better artist) Take better take of my health (stop being lazy and hit the gym 4-5 times a week XD ) To set and create my portfolio and to start working as a freelancer! Question: when your two new tutorials are going to be available for purchase on your gumroad?

[@mikeearanjuez7156]

[@iFuzzyguns]

OMG congrats! I totally wish i could have gone to your show it looks so fun! My new year's resolutions are just to drink more water and DRAW MORE. I want to pump out a few new pieces for my portfolio review at the end of the month :D

I've just opened commissions (which was a resolution in itself omggg) I'm streaming my art and im just going to keep pushing and improving. I really want to finish at least 4 or 5 pieces a month that aren't just random sketches too lol. AND I wanna be like you and those other artists that have just TONS of little details in their work that make it amazing!

[@phuochoduc5333]

Congrats man! XD. I wish you and your family a happy new year :^^.

[@erramoua2859]

Congratulations!!! 🎉🍾🎊❤️

[@artist4010]

Happy New Years and Congratulations!! You are amazing!!!!! My New Years resolution is ALWAYS art related, art is my life! This year my goal first and foremost is being more confident in my self and art, I have always thought that I am not good enough to do anything with my art, but I will make that my first goal! This ties in with the first goal, I have always wanted to start doing commissions and sell prints of my art, but I never have confidence because I always think my art isn't good enough, but I will try and change! I will continue to practice to keep learning and get better. For now the last goal is doing backgrounds! I feel confident in creating and designing characters, but I can't for the life of me draw backgrounds, so I need to practice practice practice! Thank you for being an awesome person and amazing artist! I always look forward to your videos, COLOR DODGE!

[@cassiemiddles]

So happy for you! Congratulations!

[@DansToons]

New Years resolutions are: Goals: get to a university standard of art the year before I have to go to uni. Ambitions: not get kicked out my school Plans: not getting killed to death. I heard its detrimental to your health. CONGRATS ROSS

[@H_Kazuhira]

You guys are the future of art and design, happy for you Sir! As for my resolutions, I plan to put twice as much time into my Art Work and improve as much as I can. Getting more consistent and developing my own brand so to speak. The ultimate goal is to just to bring something fresh and new to the table. I'm not so fond of being compared to other artist, I just want to be my own entity.

[@kittwig154]

congratulations! hope we'll be seeing more artworks uploaded from you now!

[@niconiebas5]

Congratulations for your graduation Ross! I hope u had a great day and i hope all your projects come true! Cheers from Argentina :D

[@davet4388]

Congrazt Ross!!!! My new year's resolution is to be more optimistic, hyped and happy and to get lucky one day on something exciting that could change my art life in a good way of course :D

[@iCroomz]

Congrats on graduating dude and thanks for the episode! As for New Years' resolutions, I'm aiming to break bad habits (procrastination) and improve overall in health and art.

[@limelightmoon]

Congrats! you looked like you had so much fun! Your friends all had such amazing work too, you should have them show off more often. My new years resolution iis to get batter at drawing of course but also to take better care of my health. In the past few months when I'm working on projects or assignments I've noticed I really don't pay attention to what I'm eating or I don't go out enough. So now I'm training for my first half marathon. As for drawing, plan on continuing to fill a sketchbook each month, and I'm doing an independent study with a professor I really admire for character design. It's stuff I really started to do last year, but Looking forward to seeing it through this year.

My new year Resolution is to get better with my grades and to become more decent artist than I am now even though it will be a very hard challenge for me. To probably do this I am going to watch more artistic videos like yours and work on my art. I am going to also workout more to get myself in shape.

For 2016, I want to work towards self discipline and having fun! 2015 taught me that there is no need for so much worry about succeeding and making it in the industry. It became work instead of fun and want to change that! So fun gives me life financially and personally. :)
