I absolutely love this series I’m so glad it’s being updated 😍

[@natebell4764]

I liked seeing the contrast in his ghostly portraits and his figurative studies.

[@PaulaSimoes67]

Daniel is so calm and humble...I still dream of going to AARP Porto some day. Thank you for this episode. It's great to hear what Daniel has to say and a little about him and his work. Now, his ego doesn't match his talent...like the egos of some I have seen...but It's perfectly allright to have big egos when they are such good artists and work so much...it's fine...just acknowledging Daniel is the serene type...but his art is 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@aPorkProduct]

Question, i have recently found this series and have been burning through the videos and love listening to how everyone uses there sketchbook differently and how they have different views on how to go about the process. My question is, is there any plans to release a compilation sketchbook with all of the different sketches made throughout the series?

[@nykki085]

so um grande fan do daniel e me inspiro muito nele,e muito legal que mesmo que ele tenha chegado onde chego ele ainda se diverte fazendo arte, isso me motiva muito a continuar

[@AndrewMaksymBrainNectar]

I feel you about having time to learn Blender. I'm on summer break right now, just trying to cram as much learning in as I can.🦉

[@tintinolho]

yeah.... time is always running out! :D

[@artbyjoshua3829]

Just checked his IG account. Really amazing work!

[@tintinolho]

:D :D :D Thanks mate! :D :D :D

[@artbyjoshua3829]

@@tintinolho Thank you too for sharing this to the world

[@st.toussaint4632]

@@tintinolho I’m seeing a lot of drawing design and invention by Micheal Hampton in your portraiture . I like your portrait style it’s one of the reasons I draw with ballpoint pen.

[@helenmelton]

Those zoom sketches look amazing!

[@tintinolho]

:D

[@ChiseledDiamond]

The artsy angles are well and good, but i want to SEE the sketchbook.

[@barokdagim7178]

Yessss!!! I discovered this series in the middle of the first lock down but I stopped watching because the editor keeps on switching angles. I only need to see the artist's face once or twice at most. The rest of the video should just be for the art in the sketchbooks. I don't understand the use of some of the angles. Like 2:52. What the hell is that? Can't see anything clearly. I'd watch every episode if they re-uploaded it with a focus on just the sketchbooks.

[@barokdagim7178]

3:15 is even worse

[@carlkligerman1981]

As a so called ‘fine’ artist, who was criticised constantly throughout my training for being interested in both the figure and the history of illustration, I certainly believe that illustration and fine art should be regarded as different expressions of the same impulse, which is picture and object making, visual story telling, and evoking an aesthetic or emotional response from the viewer.

[@fernandopalenzuela]

I can relate totally with this artist.

[@raychiesart]

I wish you would interview Tim Burton too

[@oliveuk]

What is the difference between the Comparative and Russian drawing method? I am guessing the Russian is based on construction. The Comparative doesnt' take construction in consideration?

[@MarcoMouraArt]

[@dieu_et_maitre]

6:52 anyone knows which comic he is talking about? I can't seem to find it

[@PaulaSimoes67]

Vicente Segrelles , "The Mercenary". 👍

[@dieu_et_maitre]

@@PaulaSimoes67 thanks a lot!!

[@oliveuk]

I love Bic pens because they work well with watercolours but the blobs of extra ink does annoy me. What would be the next cheap option ? As much as would love to use Mont Blancs like Kim Jung Gi, the cost is way above what I can afford ;-)

[@oliveuk]

Kim Jung Gi is really good at making the most of the ink blobs to do his shading though.

[@PaulaSimoes67]

The next cheap option is a Molin!

[@ekaterinasmantser6981]

Where I can read more about methods that Daniel 's speaking? Comparative, site-size and the russian?

[@amberdreams_0]

I'd love to see more about these too...

[@nochipmunks8692]

Its crazy that the whole video we get 3 mins of the actual sketches, stupid editing

[@1chipchap]

Need someone new to do the camera work. Such a shame
