Secrets of Shapes in Professional Art

[@SamReevesWrites]

Tyler, I can’t tell you how much I appreciate you taking the time to create an entire video to answer my question. Furthermore, you anticipated concepts, to which this idea also applies, that I needed to know but didn’t. I am so grateful.

[@TheGoldenFrost]

I love when tigers have long hair like that !

[@RodneyHussmann]

YA those are my favorite kind of tigers...

[@jeffgoldblum4104]

I love the inclusion of the dragon age character concept process! I remember how detailed the art book was about specific characters and their designs and it was fascinating to me! Great stuff Tyler!

[@TylerEdlin84]

Jeff Goldblum thanks for viewing

[@darellteague3845]

Very helpful. I really have a problem with drawing mindlessly with little thought to the basics. However, as soon as I apply them, my art instantly gets better. Thanks again, sir

[@Sergiopoo]

This type of videos is what I love about your channel! I feel like other art channels go on a very surface level and yours on the other hand go more in depth, showing us how its used and with great examples.

[@ahhnxiety]

I very much appreciate how the creator actually explained how shapes are applied and stylized in art! Most other videos only define what shapes are and that artists use them to draw as if people don’t already know

[@harrysanders818]

High Quality! This is something I ask myself a lot and struggle with: How to apply this shapial design and thinking without it ending in too obvious primitve basic shapes. This video makes it really more clear and shows some great visual examples.

It's a blessing that KZbin recommended me such a fine content made by a true master of the craft. Truly Invaluable. Keep up the good work.

[@markghammartist]

Tyler let me just say that you are one of my main inspirations to learn digital painting and your tutorials have been so much help to me! stay awsome dude

[@jasonhurt9148]

Thank you for doing this video Tyler. I appreciate stylized/cartoony artwork but I am more training myself for a closer to semi-realism/realism approach myself. It's nice that people with various tastes can find value in your content.

Thank you for the tips Lord Kane

I feel blessed to see you Tyler, thank you for this!

[@MinxAkaKrazyC]

This showed up in my recommends and I absolutely needed this

[@EpochEmerge]

This is actually a gold. Ive been thinking a lot last 2 weeks about how should i use ‘stylisation’ in my art, and this video is the answer I’ve been looking for. Had to rewatch it twice - so much new information for me. Thank you!

[@drawsatsu]

thank you, it really inspired me to keep practicing

[@butwaittheresmoreayo]

This was incredibly helpful, thank you!

[@CreativeSteve69]

Always a good time when ya upload Tyler. Loved this topic a lot. Im defently gonna practice on using simple shapes with my work now.

Wow, amazing video! I'm definitly going to use it as one of materiais to creat my shape and stylzation lesson. Everything is so well explained. Thank you for this!

[@infernogirl]

I am currently in the process of creating my art school portfolio and some of the images you have shown plus advice given is going to help me a lot for when ill add some character design pieces!

Great, this content is amazing

[@lucasilva9665]

perfect! thank you

[@Dynananamite]

Super helpful, thank you for the great breakdown of art, design, and style, and for the positive vibes. Love your little scheme of visual v. scientific stylization, I think it's a great way of understanding the interplay between visual design and storytelling logic.

[@astonbean]

This video was wonderful! It was really cool how I started being able to see the shapes more as the video went on :D Thanks so much for this awe some content!

Thanks!

[@creative_fey]

Wonderful video. Very helpful advice. I see you had a piece from Whistler did you check out his Peacock room?

[@TylerEdlin84]

I did not

[@francescodibuono6344]

Thanks a lot! In less than 15 minutes, you conveyed so many eye-opening concepts! (BTW I am a 3d modeler, not a painter, but your lessons are extremely useful nonetheless)

[@antonioblanco3086]

Thanks a lot! This video was what I Needed!

[@TylerEdlin84]

Antonio Blanco fantastic !

[@filipemecenas]

Great vídeo !!! Thanks

[@annaqura3360]

Well done Tyler :)

[@ljt96]

I was struggling With this just now, the thing is , I cant paint in the way I was thinking in my head, end up looking realistic or just flat, and ruinning the art, and the tutorials on painting digitally end up following the same style of painting

[@Eagerrr08]

Thank you, very useful

[@jenscurtius8375]

I was missing the information... how the "big medium small thing" is like nearly always used in every style n is a good starting point. Well in my opinion. But the explanation n comparison of styles is 👌

[@harrysanders818]

Yeah good point. I guess big medium small is a topic on its own, though related. I can imagine it was left out on purpose to focus more on the shape as design element itself. The Leyendecker example shows smaller shapes in the folds and such, but yeah, it is not included, could have been at least hinted. Especially with the game examples.

[@c7261]

I love that comment on Philip Webber : "I don't know why" 😂I feel the same way when it comes to hyper-realism. To me it feels like a guitar solo - while technically brilliant, it's not what's the most interesting aspect of a song to me. I'd take a Mignola ink over one of those paintings any day. It stuns me that similar human-photocopiers are the most revered nowadays.

[@TylerEdlin84]

C right? Especially when he’s using a hi res photo references and essentially copying it 1:1

[@cuac5869]

I actually respect an artist more if they know how to simplify and interpret, and add their own vision. Copying is easy but interpreting an image is hard.

[@heroiam4067]

Why the thumbnail is an image that Matt Rhodes and Bioware put togheter to explain shape design and their pipeline?
