Stylize your Sketching - Putting personality into your own work!

[@DaveGreco]

I hope this helps! What I am trying to show in these videos is how to LOOK for things and bring it into your own work.. instead of just being like "this is how to draw a face". Something we will tackle alot! Thanks for being patient! :)

[@chloeharrison8524]

Hey if its too much trouble feel free to say no but im doing a dissertation research project my degree on the process of concept art and if you have a spare few minutes in the next week or so would you mind answering a few questions for me and having your name printed? Your style is perfect for what im trying to produce!

[@vojislavpetric3895]

Dave, your art is AMAZING! Im Master Graphic Designer, I draw whole my life, now Im waiting my Ipad Pro 2018 and i will start to do some seriouse art. I love to watch your videos, and inspire's me to put everything i have to in my llustrations. Big Thanks for that !

[@mirhammendoza]

Yes!! Thank you for this Dave! you are truly an amazing artist for me! love your style and color choices.

[@lukesheridan439]

Very appreciated. It's a very welcome aspect as YT is littered with catchy art instruction videos with little depth.

[@michaelmorrissey6198]

How do you get such nice thick to thin lines all the time

[@ivanulyanov3461]

Great to see more from you! It's always very inspiring to watch your process videos, both because you get to see the raw, early stages and go "Wait, I can do that too, I should do that more often", and then also see just how far those early sketches can go in the right hands, and some ideas on how to reach that spot. Thanks!

[@dear_totheheart]

Phenomenal, wow so impressive, encouraging, and more exciting compared to typical tutorials - actual design or inspiration from reference, love it!

[@TheThirdofNine]

Amazing timing, this is exactly the sort of video I needed to kick off my workflow today. Thank you Dave.

[@TheTimeDevourer]

Loved watching all of this, Dave. Something that I'm always insecure about is how I tend to go over lines several times in order to give them weight but I see so many other people not doing that, just doing a single stroke, so it's really nice seeing even the pros do sketches by going over their lines several times.

[@vilhelmasbanys9012]

Man thank you so much for this. I’ve been trying to introduce more shape design and stylization into my own pieces so this tutorial is right on time!

[@julias-hg9iz]

I just found your channel and am in love! It’s so nice to watch your process, and it is very inspiring. Oftentimes when looking at a piece or even a timelapse, it can be easy to feel inferior or discouraged. Watching you makes me want to go and draw!

[@WhitePillDave]

So happy to have you back. You make my favorite art videos on all of the KZbins

[@jagglebones]

thanks for the effort you put in.

[@profressonaldj5360]

I am from Assam. India I love your art and I have learned many things about digital painting from you. Love from India ❤.

[@Nadiaxel]

This video has been sitting on my "Watch later" playlist since it came out and I finally made a cup of coffee, sat down and just took everything in! Lovely video, Dave. It's so nice to get an insight into your workflow and thought-process like this! Keep it up, you're so awesome ^-^

[@DaveGreco]

Thanks Nadia! I need to sit down and do another one.. my updates on the channel are so slow! >.

[@Nadiaxel]

@@DaveGreco SAME! I consider myself a productive youtuber if I upload once a month haha! Ah, don't worry. We're not running away while you find a comfortable pace ^^ I just realized you stream on twitch omg! I'll definitely go take a look ;W;

[@DaveGreco]

@@Nadiaxel ok awesome! yeah I spend most my time on twitch.. which takes time away from recording content here. I have most the twitch chat to thank for getting me started on youtube

[@NoDakSmack]

This was something I needed! Thanks Dave.

[@TRIMRKR]

Thanks for this man! I learn so much from you. Nice to have since art school is out of reach for me lol.

[@whitleystone5204]

wow this is rlly helpful, thanks . i also enjoy your down to earth tone

[@henrietteboldtillustration9040]

Thanks for your videos. They have already helped me alot. i would love to see more videos about shape design especially when it includes perspective such as on armor or clothes! Also, pls don't worry about not posting enough you don't owe us we are just happy you post at all. :D

[@scotta4238]

Great to see more content man and i think adding the reference/s beside helps a lot in seeing your workflow

[@AzkaNugroho]

Hi Dave! been following your works since your first youtube videos and it's been very inspiring and educational, really appreciate all the time and effort you give in these. Also been using your brushes since then and all I can say is they are amazing and really helpful. Hope you will always be in a good health and keep rocking every single day!

[@DaveGreco]

Thanks so much man! That means alot and I def hope to get alot more content out this year for yall

[@AzkaNugroho]

@@DaveGreco that would be amazing, please also stay healthy!

[@enekorox3]

Great video! I definitely learned a couple things there and can see myself refering my friends to this when they got troubles with stylizing in the sketchphase and make it nice and presentable.

[@e90lownslow14]

Hey Dave! I love your work and find inspiration while watching your videos and Twitch streams. Something I'd love to see, and I'm sure a lot of other viewers would like to see, is your studio setup! Like what tablet/stylus you use, your key commands on your stylus, and little tips you use to easier create your works of art. Just a little something that shows us how you use your peripherals and why you chose them. Thanks! can't wait to see more videos!

[@DavidDentonArt]

Great video Dave! This is exactly what I needed. I find that I stick too rigidly to my references and get bogged down by details so watching this was liberating. I can't wait to give it a go. Thank you for making this video :)

[@DaveGreco]

Thats so awesome to hear! ty!

[@Adriano-do-Couto-Illustration]

Nice! I always watch you on twitch but rarely get to watch you live. Love your work.

[@NightStriider]

Super happy to see you post this! Your content is always great and so insightful. I love how you teach in your videos :D I really hope I can achieve a skill of your calibur one day. I've wanted nothing more than to make games for a living and work at Bethesda Studios helping make The Elder Scrolls games :) I'm forward to future videos!

[@DaveGreco]

That's awesome! I have friends that work over there and they love it!

[@NightStriider]

@@DaveGreco I really hope I can land a job there one day! It'd be amazing to work along side of them and maybe even one day with yourself! Thanks for all you do :)

[@baluray2]

DG.. you're videos are "super super awesome"! Haha. Thanks man!

Nice! She's got a funky / 70's / Frazetta feel to her. Looking forward to more content!

[@francogiosso6152]

I was waiting to see this for a long time, in your streams you always start with the sketchs like this and are already aweasome, I really wanted to see this shape thinking part ♥ cool video Dave! see ya in the stream!

[@goddusopp7600]

This is the video I've been waiting for! Thank you!

[@Fjall99]

Woah, I'm early as fuck. Good to see you upload again!

[@emmanuell89]

hey , great to see you back , love your art and im working hard to one day be at your level . do you think you can do a video about gesture and stuff around that ? how you build a pose / character etc

[@j0ca1995]

Awesome, Dave!

[@WhiteWoolf-07]

I want to make my pencil portraits a little bit stylized too so that my work isn't too mainstream. Many many people do plain realism already

[@ArtofAnom]

a bit late, but thank you for taking time out of your day to educate, i love your work and hope to one day reach anywhere near your level :D

[@JoseEduardoOrozco222]

I LOVE THIS VIDEO

[@UmouMais]

yaaay awesome! I miss your tutorials here on youtube man, but thanks a lot for this video. Hope to see more good stuff in the future. You could also make a video teaching us how to paint a simple background...

[@DaveGreco]

I think that may be my next one!

[@UmouMais]

@@DaveGreco awesome dude! Can't wait to see it. My simple backs aren't so good haha, you could definitely help us a lot

a tutorial on dynamic lighting and mood would be awesome

[@ujinshamoney8846]

[@Imkurieecsgo]

*VIDEO IDEA* : Since you share your brushes and btw thank you, you could do a video and talk about what each brush is for, that would help beginners (me) ALOT, thanks :D

Hey Dave, How did you rotate the brush? is there any hotkey?

[@Peteru69]

Good video as always. I'm noticing a pattern with you though. the eye placement is also wonky on this one, like the crowfall lady. I like it, because it shows that you're human too.
