"The shape is the embryo." Excellent quote/tip for character design.

[@photomatik]

He's driving me nuts scribbling on those beautiful originals!!! Awesome work from a master!

[@maskedbugman]

this is a life hack for me, basically free grey/brown papers with out having to buy specialty sketch books.

[@IGarrettI]

I missed it, what is it?

[@kit_kata]

@@IGarrettI He uses cereal boxes as grey/brown paper :) It's a really smart way to reuse them and get a different type of paper to work with!

[@belomettinavyy1068]

he's incredible, he never stopped to talk cuz full of knowledge and competence

[@lAcedUpLiss]

Carlos is one of my favourite vis dev artists. hands down. He designed the lead characters for most of my favourite films. HIs understanding of shape design is so impressive. Such a knowledgeable and skillful artist, I could watch him sketch all day on cereal boxes!

[@junebug861]

5:50 I love the way he says "skeleton"

[@meadowscolin]

Most valuable cereal box ever. Such a great style.

[@mycollegeshirt]

wow he's so right eris looks so much better in his sketch they pretty much abandoned what he gave them

[@martistszz3164]

I can actually imagine him giving a lesson in a classroom and i can totally se myself totally not being sleepy the entire class, even if that class is 3 hours long

[@rubenfigueroa5373]

It's a great feeling to know that I'm not alone when it comes to drawing on cereal boxes 😊.

[@Amandineriou]

One of my favorite one from the Sketchbook Series thank youuuuu!

[@aramakifox2408]

This sketchbook series is truly fascinating! Many thanks for sharing :) I was a teenager when The Corpse Bride was released and I have always loved that film and its character designs.

[@robynsrecs2183]

This man is an animation legend

[@Filscout]

Love his work Carlos a great and humble person I met at Dreamworks! Supervising character designer for Prince of Egypt and El Dorado and Spirit!

[@lylecarlsonsurfboard]

Best episode yet. So cool to watch him just pull creatures out of thin air

[@junkykid_art]

This is amazing! So glad this was made, I've been a fan of Carlos Grangel for years. And this walk thru is fantastic. Thank you for sharing this video.

[@TrojanHorseWasaUnicorn]

One of the best talks of 2019 and direct to the top10 of The THU Sketchbook Series!! Thanks!!

[@TrojanHorseWasaUnicorn]

Thank you for the support! Enjoy :)

[@Saiki_Jelly]

Im a Tim Burton geek, and now I fucking love this guy, his art is literally the sort of things I adore. Edit: he drew for literally all of favorite movies😌 and I really didn't expect that to be the original art concept for Eris

[@jjgm1728]

The advice about shapes is great. Thanks.......Finishing the video, I went to my kitchen for some boxes :) . Good Idea!

[@nrg66]

This man created my childhood favs 💙 so much respect honestly

[@FeerSer]

[@LoyalArt]

♥♥♥ Thank you!!

[@alec3476]

What an amazing artist! Thanks for the video, great stuff

[@TrojanHorseWasaUnicorn]

:) Glad you like it! Enjoy !

[@DadBodDrumming]

Loved it!

[@pjlewisful]

Wow...I knew other artists must be using cereal boxes for their art besides me but I never came across any. Now, to see such a successful pro. uses them is very interesting to me. I'm known for my acrylic portraits on cereal boxes down here in Alabama & Florida. I really enjoyed this video.

[@SDW90808]

Pj Lewis Aramaki Fox Funny, because I was just recently chastised by a YT artist for my comment that I use copy paper to practice so I don’t feel the need to be perfect. Now I’ve added cereal boxes and feel I’m in good company!

[@mickrozycki451]

@@SDW90808 So many people use copy paper. It's actually good quality paper. It really comes down to how you use the medium to create an image in terms of line weight, value, dark and light, etc..

[@dougg1075]

Love the reuse of cereal box but I don’t eat cereal:) Who says KZbin can’t be great

[@terrancefiggs1670]

I’m so glad I found this

[@catsoye]

Beautiful. Wow

[@ferelcopter5126]

Just had a lesson with this amazing character designer. Probably the best one so far

[@TrojanHorseWasaUnicorn]

Hey Ferel! Carlos is a wonderful, enthusiastic teacher. Hope you enjoyed it :)

[@tentsio]

[@high4948]

[@ale-ih4ef]

Beautifully done. I love this series❤

[@TrojanHorseWasaUnicorn]

Thank you 🙂

[@niazhannanwatercolors]

Awesome stuff❤❤❤subscribed instantly 🤣

[@ScreamingSkull13]

I’ve done sketches before on the boards used for comic book packaging, trust me it really works

[@judihopewell2499]

Wow cRlos out of this world. More please.

[@shonnarobertson6462]

Amazing skill ✨✨

[@lucak_art]

this is great, I couldn't catch any of his talks!

[@TrojanHorseWasaUnicorn]

Enjoy and stay tuned for the next episodes :)

[@lAcedUpLiss]

Have you guys ever considered approaching the artists to release a series of collectible sketchbooks of their art? I know it would be impossible to include the licensed stuff because of copyright, but I would be so interested in buying just their own personal stuff. I love the rough doodly stuff, it helps as an artist to see the thought process and how they problem solve their designs.

[@danib1600]

Carlos Grangel might not be in it, but if you like looking at people's sketches there is The Sketchbook Project by the Brooklyn Library: www.sketchbookproject.com/

[@JaneXemylixa]

Funny that Mayhew turned into a smoker instead. (He looks like a cupboard or an extention of his own carriage - but with tiny hands. Gentle giant kinda vibe. I like it)

[@joelmares1764]

Brilliant

[@drcubix]

I think he should be the next James Bond..

[@oscarcosulich]

Carlos is a genius, period!

[@timothywiley6334]

YES

[@morrisirungu8712]

"with an apple"🍏.

[@okamivolgan]

he has eyes and face fit for James Bond. high class , smart, well educated , womanizer.

[@GrapplingVerse]

Love the video! Could you please add the artists socials? Would be awesome thanks !

[@elenaball3884]

Porque Carlos Gardel?

[@blackberry9345]

I do the same thing with boxes and cardboards

[@asiguere]

He must eat so much cereal

[@te9591]

Funny I've used scrap paper and napkins for sketch work.

[@sabrinanascimento1267]

I don’t have a canvas. I paint on paper.

[@mickrozycki451]

Does he mention what paper he used?

[@mr1992er]

From kellogs corn flakes

lol ..thats the first thing artist do when being interviewed in this channel

[@morrisirungu8712]

😈🍏👿

[@saraloreno1520]

This channel would be 1000% better if the camera person calmed down and we got to see the sketches and not facial pores and blurred side shots.
