Secrets to Drawing Creatures from Different Angles

[@bobbyrebholz2183]

If you're struggling with your drawing and would like to learn the basics, please check out the link to our Discord in the description and sign up for my monthly mentorship! The spots are very limited but skill level does not matter.

[@marcusrodriguez7177]

I disagree, you are victim. You are a great artist and you should never let someone make you feel guilty about that. Its they're loss and you have nothing to apologize for. You're teaching this lesson in pen!! Thank you for these tutorials.

[@cozmoznova]

I usually go stop drawing for a week or so whenever I feel bad about my sketches, watching your vids make me get back to sketching again, thanks!

[@bobbyrebholz2183]

That's great!

[@Nightwinflyer]

There is certainly a time to step away. But never stop drawing...you will get to a point where your mind stops blocking you. I went through years of fighting myself and struggling through pieces. It is always a battle, but you will hit a point where you have enough confidence to just let the piece flow. At least for me, my mind turns off and the whole process flows. I still struggle with aspects, but it is more composition these days with me.

[@cozmoznova]

@@Nightwinflyer Thats motivating, thankyou for these words, i shall keep drawing.

[@DarkSoul767]

I wanna thank you so much for these videos, I used to draw with my dad when i was younger and he was an amazing artist. However as i got older he unfortunately distanced himself from me. And sometimes when i feel lonely i put on your videos and i draw with it in the background and it makes me feel like im drawing with my dad again. Thank you so much ♡

[@bobbyrebholz2183]

Dude...that just made my day.

[@dddduhaime4506]

Your channel has singlehandedly developped my interest in animal/creature design.....and I intend to research a LOT more into it!

[@bobbyrebholz2183]

That's great to hear.

[@Ryan-rh8rn]

I'm loving the monster and creature concept art. I used to want to be a concept artist for a video game company however life happened and I had to kind of put that on the back burner and never got back around to it.

[@whatifitnt]

Try again and just do a little bit at a time so when the opportunity comes around, you're ready!

[@Ryan-rh8rn]

@@whatifitnt hey, thanks for the confidence boost! 😎 😁

[@SadPandalorian]

I love hearing The Void mentioned. Such a great movie. Thanks for sharing your creature tips! They're so useful! 🙏

[@bryanterborg3665]

Bobby is always such a tease…lol. Can’t wait to see what is in store.

[@Anonymouthful]

Consistancy feels like such a massive hurdle to overcome.Just trying to keep the composition, let alone details, similar at different angles really needs a certain vision and understanding of the shapes.

[@whitehuayra]

You're always so insightful on how to approach creative hurdles, very wise artist. I also appreciate a fellow bic ballpoint pen user!😂

[@anastassianelson4119]

This was nothing short of amazing. Like always, your lessons get me excited to draw. You really emphasize to draw with a purpose/direction, even when it there is none--something I have forgotten. Thank you:)

[@bobbyrebholz2183]

Thank you so much 😀

[@dadamdesigns]

Yessss!!! Always a good day with another draw sesh! Hope you're having a good week Bobby! Thank you for all that you do man! 🤘

[@bobbyrebholz2183]

You're the best for art tips man!

[@GyreArts]

O shi yo ill keep your stuff in mind to learn consistency in creatuee designs to keep things working so hell yeah man Also your voice is hella soothing man so nicenice

[@BonLee-jh5pk]

Slithering along on a string of slime... cool! LOL!

[@Splatterpunk_OldNewYork]

Getting me to start drawing again Bobby. I have a big smile on my face writing this right now.

[@cristiancamiloriveragarcia4318]

Felicitaciones tu arte es genial también me gusta crear seres los hago con bolígrafos directamente de mi mente al papel

[@LordBaktor]

Gosh, Helga/Steve is gnarly. Wouldn't want to get surrounded by a bunch of those during a nature hike.

[@linus1695]

you have some of the best videos for explaining intuitive sketching. sincerely really great work

[@bobbyrebholz2183]

Thanks a lot!

[@BookmansBlues]

I love my Secret Lab Chair, no joke, I can sit in it all day and not hurt, first chair I have ever owned in my 25 year career as a VFX artist where I can honestly say that.

[@bobbyrebholz2183]

Is the brand called Secret Lab?

[@BadRobotBrain]

Awesome video! Thank you for sharing your thought process on practical creature design.

[@geckoraptor9397]

This is funny i was just thinking about this exact topic like an Hour ago

[@Monke_business]

Pls do a video on how to draw mammal-like creatures.

[@bobbyrebholz2183]

Hi! Thanks for the comment and I have several videos where I draw mammals.

[@Monke_business]

@@bobbyrebholz2183 thanks

[@Lamzouille]

Herman miller chair are quiet expensive but are excellent chairs !

[@bobbyrebholz2183]

That's true!

[@Poisonedblade]

If you're sending in art for an action game, you also want to pay attention to body dynamics. Does it look like the character is swinging a sword, or just posing?

[@scribblesticks2865]

Was wondering if you could cover how to draw white creatures and black creatures while still having the form, scales, fur, and/or feathers still look right.

[@gita1847]

Thank you

[@sprungjitsu8465]

My suggestion. Dont get a gaming chair. Most are not made for your ergonomics, theyre just hyped and marketed for easy money. Better get a good office chair with alot of adjustable things. And don't sit too much. Honestly i would suggest a standing office and a hight adjustable desk at best

[@K.ART_vlog]

amazing ❤ new friend

[@whatifitnt]

This is what I have been looking for for years... making them move and change... THANK YOU!!!! 💥💫❤‍🔥

[@olddudedraws]

You make it look easy, meanwhile if I try to draw a dog from two different angles one of them looks like a melted ice cream version of the other.

[@bobbyrebholz2183]

Yo that's hilarious. Not the drawing, but the melted ice cream🤣

[@netslav3328]

based

[@alericslingerland2559]

Do any of these creatures go to anything else other than youtube or your portfolio like games or movies?

[@bobbyrebholz2183]

The ones I draw for the videos just go to my Instagram. The games and movie stuff would be under NDA unless they've already been released.

[@zigaosredkar1700]

You use black prismacolour so as to not smudge your drawings right? Is it like a special kind or can i just use the same black colour pencils that i used as a kid? 😅

[@bobbyrebholz2183]

Same ones!

[@cosmojose5264]

Like orthographic projection (landscape design)?

[@bobbyrebholz2183]

Orthographics are different in that it's usually the same static pose but in different positions and you do this for the modeling department

[@cosmojose5264]

@@bobbyrebholz2183 thank you!

[@Poisonedblade]

The Void is great Lovecraftian horror! It was made on just over $80,000. Note: If you give someone with talent $80K, they can make a better movie than a committee full of idiots for $300,000,000.

[@bobbyrebholz2183]

Dude I agree with you 💯

[@dpcaw]

Hello Bobby, I just recently bought a Prisma black colored pencil to put a layer on my drawing to seal the graphite as you recommended. Do you just do a light shading on top of the drawing with pen and it is good already? Not sure how much to put. I have never seen you do this in video and maybe you can show us how you do it. Thank you.

[@bobbyrebholz2183]

Glad you got one! I've done it in several videos in my creature design playlist and Drawing Lessons. Apply a nice coating after you already did the pencil. Then, apply pencil back on top.

[@dpcaw]

@@bobbyrebholz2183 thank you for replying. I will look for those videos

[@Halo-eq4ug]

Are there positions out there that are the concept artist and the 3D modeler put together? I wish to be a concept artist, but I'm in 3D animation for school. Should I think my decisions again?

[@bobbyrebholz2183]

There are. However, it's best to specialize in one of those areas but be able to do the second if necessary. For example, there are character concept artists and "character artist" positions. Character artists are almost strictly 3D modelers. If "concept" is in there, it's 2D. Companies love when you can draw/paint 2D but also bring your work into 3D in order to help the workflow.

[@Halo-eq4ug]

@@bobbyrebholz2183 awesome super helpful, love the creatures you come up with! Very inspiring to watch as well.

[@rubberdik]

Smash thumbs up if you are probably not going to get the job.

[@keepgrindingkeepwinning9237]

It is so almost impossible to get a drawing job for a studio you work for or comparable to. It is so oversaturated it’s unreal. I went from music to artist and failed on both and failing sucks. I was good and these people are freakish bc it’s like the NFL or NBA you’re literally getting paid to do music or draw everyday. Good luck whoever tries but you better be the 1% of the 1%

[@STFUppercut69]

You're a teacher, right? Do you think that different types of people gravitate towards sketching with lines versus sketching with shapes? Have you come across students who struggled with lines but then seemingly had a much easier time getting the initial thumbnail in with blocks of shape? Because that's the point I'm at currently. Struggling a lot with proportions with lines and it's not fun. But at the same time, as a beginner, doing everything with shapes seems too hard because lines allow to establish everything within the silhouette so much easier. Weird, weird, weird.

[@ALE-gu9rc]

Since i was little I always dres human anatomy and faces, but now im bored of it and discover something else, and im so interested in creatures

[@antoniobaston5078]

YOU ARE SO TALENTED.

[@bobbyrebholz2183]

Aw thanks!

[@Procione07]

50k is behinde the angle bobby. Keep going prefessor.😂❤

[@EdwardLDavies]

You're a very wise artist. I can definitely agree to draw one part first, such as an eye, and then use it as reference for the other eye.

[@t0m.__.511]

Awesome sketches as always
