What Makes a Good Drawing?

[@MysticLGD]

Hello art man

[@Trident_H]

😆

[@In_Jail_Out_Soonn]

Its giving- "Hello, flameo hotman."

[@aadam.drawss]

My "art" is starting to change (in a good way), Im starting to really take art seriously. Im tired of just copying the work of my favourite artist and feel like I need to create my own style. I already know what I very like to draw : Monsters, warriors, dark fantasy stuff, sci-fi/mech... And honestly you are one of the few artists that I very like, love your videos as always !

[@Helloitsgoku]

if you dont mind asking do u know how to create own style ?

[@bobbysmitty1628]

@@Helloitsgoku Learn the rules and break them. References, references, references. Learning and practicing literal anatomy (life drawing) as well as reading works from people you enjoy will help to create your own style. A good way to diversify styles is by identifying the artists you like, researching the artists they like, then research the artists they liked. You'll eventually start to connect the dots on why styles were chosen and how they evolved. This process might help. Just my input. Good luck.

[@aadam.drawss]

@@Helloitsgoku Do a mix of what you like and inspire you the most, for me it's my favourite manga and a bunch of films.

I feel like you definitely have reached that point of having a recognisabel good style and workflow. Ive really noticed that while reading RR back and forth and your style now really stands out in a good way.

[@ogshinobi1]

What. The greatest mangaka youtuber with these back to back uploads😲

[@DippedInInk]

It’s whatever a person ‘thinks’ is good. I love detail but some ppl love simple goofy art. It’s whatever an individual likes at the end of the day.

[@mrfake5251]

Oh wow DD Mark! You're a really good motivational speaker! My motivation to draw just exceeded its bar limit just from watching this video. Thank you DD Mark, thank you.

[@thedarksaucelord1780]

Engine has been revved up again thanks DD! ❤️‍🔥

[@kydd1304]

You really have lit a fire under my butt to start working again, I really appreciate the inspiration and hard work you put out! (Also your anatomy video has been the first real click in my brain for anatomy, esp separating the elbows and knees)

[@MightGuy15]

Clearly the answer is you know its good when mom puts it on the fridge 😊😊😊

[@chadisbosh1]

A recent anime that exemplifies this message is "Bocchi the Rock" the facial expressions and change in art style isn't necessarily the "best" but the product that is presented is effective. The emotions and the intentions are clear. "They Connect".

[@thepokemonadventureandmore2206]

I always thought my art had no 'anime vibe' to it but now that I watch this it's changed my prospective on my style and I see the new things in my art which make me like it more and see more anime in it

[@GallantGum_]

This is my favorite video of all time…thank you for a new found outlook on my art

[@kevkevzero111]

I'm glad I found this channel

[@blubeard7324]

Can you make a video about drawing noses and lips or manly characters? Would really appreciate it

[@DeathXtremeHaseo]

Yeah I want my style to be more realistic but at the same time I don't wanna be too realistic (for example, I want varied eye shapes and not same-eye syndrome which most realism has). So even if the purpose is served (ie. portraying despair filled scream or whatnot), if it's not in the "style," I'd consider it a failure in my eyes.

[@bobbysmitty1628]

A mangaka who does good work with realism, but the characters are very expressive with their personalities and emotions is Ryoichi Ikegami. Check out his work, titles like "Heat" and "Crying Freeman".

[@blitzelectro3238]

Dd mark out here making me motivated to draw with the double December uploads

[@barney3444]

I know DD's art gets a lot of love, so can we take a minute to appreciate this mans fire editing.

[@clyc_hs6754]

dd mark, can u make a video about clothes and folds, especially darker clothes?

[@JustCookieHead]

wow i never thought of it like that thanks mark

[@rooneymulenga676]

Dude you spoke to me, now I see my art as good

[@solyun2683]

Man working hard this month 💪

[@obeyjae50xd35]

Wow I really felt that That's gonna make me look at my art differently

[@yuitrigger]

We are all build different!

[@TheBaralinChannel]

Hey DD. Wanted to share this with you cause I think it's relevant. Past few months, especially with the slew of AI art, I became obsessed with this thing called "style". That thing we all strive for. To be distinct, to be unique, to be recognized by. I became convinced that that was my way. And that I should strive for it no matter what. And what you said in this video really resonated with me. Pursuit of uniqueness? I think it's a noble thing. But it cannot and should not come at the expense of everything else. My work became devoid of any meaning, of any purpose. It's only purpose was to stand out. But instead of standing on the merit of its strengths, those being the stories it was to tell, it was only standing on what I perceived to be a "unique visual". It wasn't. And I wasn't happy. In the past month, after a straight up month-long break from art, I'm finally starting to draw again. And I realize it's about the drawing capturing a feeling and serving its purpose, as you put it. I've been having more fun doing art again. I'll keep at it.

Yessir another Dd mark vid

[@AlexOrtiz-zp3cp]

love your content queep it up

[@chobispider2178]

bro was bogswaggled

[@imhunniebee]

I didn't know I needed this video. I've already realized I, personally, can't grasp the 'doing art for fun' stage because I still see myself as a beginner. But loving my art can be so hard because I don't use a lot of details or think my line art is poor. But thinking about looking back at my old work from 2 years ago makes me realize I have improved and I don't need to draw like this artist with 10K subs or this group that draws very similar. You've been so inspiring DD, I love it when you do these deep video. Keep up the great work. 👍🏾 PS. YES TO #TEAMJACOB 🐺

[@akbarulariffinmohammadhasn1666]

Thank you for making this video it’s made me happy 🙏🏻

[@spoonofthegaw]

This is really what I needed right now, ive been having problems comparing my art to others in a destructive way. I still have a lot to learn about in terms of drawing better, but I feel a lot better about my style.

[@dark_nightwing_xl2797]

Same my guy hahaha

[@kharlostique270]

Heyo. Relatable and just in time to make my day better! Double post Dec is ths best.

[@sleepdeprivedzetsu]

I actually ask myself this all the time

[@Hyplexial]

The Mongoon course goes in depth on those "What is drawing" questions. It is a very interesting concept.

[@Bulkalisthenics]

I personally consider a good drawing something that takes a lot of skill to perform.

[@bobbysmitty1628]

Lol that is the most blunt and perhaps factual answer. A "good" or perhaps "great" drawing to me has a high barrier of entry. Anything by Jim Lee would fall into those categories. 😂

[@evee31637]

I still want this to draw kentaro Miura's art style

[@mattrise3002]

YO DD mark! are you going to do a 2022 art growth video like last year?

[@nagatouzamakiamvs2277]

Hi DD Markk,I just wanna say that you are my favourite artist of all time you inspired me to draw in the first place so thank you .I am learning the art fundementals by first practicing to rotate boxes in different angles but I feel like I wanna do more with art bec my sketchbook is filled with drawings of boxes,do you think I should copy other artists and learn the fundementals

[@ethanpaul1473]

Well said 👍vitamin D to the D mark, I'll have to some of it my add it to my notes. Personally, I get a bit fatigued during the darker months, so it frustrates me a lot that I can't draw. Also doesn't seem like this channel is dying, something only dies when someone gives up. (Trust me on this one, I've been to death and back many times, and might experience it's cousin after posting this.) 😂It just needs a little creative restructure for next year.❤‍🔥

Hey dd love ur art and videos u post. What app do u use for editing ur videos.

[@bobbysmitty1628]

I saw the piece you did for Girl with the Mega Fists, and I recognized your style 😁! Your character drawings always take on a certain underlying edge. Your stuff is edgy to me bro, like idk, The Joker from Batman (not in look but feel lol). Your art is easy enough to understand at a glance, but if you look at it you can identify some deeper layers underneath. I think it reflects characteristics of serious with intent but also comedic and edgy.

[@ShockWithoutFear]

This is a fantastic video but I can't lie the thumbnail pissed me off, I wanted to see your opinion on Boichi's art too 😭

[@marlanjn.baptiste8715]

Yeh I feel different already 😭

For me, I'm just trying to find an art style that I'M satisfied with. As long as I'm comfortable with my style and having fun with it, everything is irrelevant

[@mrfake5251]

Don't worry man, you'll find your art style soon enough, just keep experimenting and you'll get there.

[@Aruns-gc1dt]

It felt different But cool 👍

What is the "manga look"? That is so subjective. There is manga I could put in front of you, and you may struggle to identify it as "manga". One such example is some works by Osamu Tezuka. I was reading his Princess Knight manga and I literally felt like someone put a throwback Disney fantasy cartoon in my hands. Art is expressive. I think your style is great.

Manga try to touch you, that the reason why manga is good, just my opinion cmiiw. The best manga feel touch me is berserk, vagabond and one piece. If anime i still stay on Ghibli studio. Btw art is subjective just try to be yourself 🔥
