I'm 17 now, and you were about as good at 17 as I am today. Maybe a little bit better in some areas. So my hopes are high with the thought that if I keep practicing really hard, I will be as good as you are now, which is truly exceptional, when I am a bit older! :D

[Inedible1]

I am watching this series while enjoying ritz crackers and hummus, as well as cherries. Relaxing.

[MikeTFP]

In all honesty you were better at 13 than I am now and I'm 19. I suck.

at age 12-20 I did Powerpuff Girls a lot.. At 20-26 (currently) I drew lots of Anime characters like Pokemon, Yu-Gi-Oh! SailorMoon (drew a ton of those), Dragonball.. Now at 26 I still do anime and cartoons.. I'm working on my own comic book now... But anyway, I also still draw anime. I draw lots of Naruto etc

[MattHawes]

Cool! Thanks for the comments!

Hey matt. Im 14 and I want be an artist but I suck. Any advice?

[MattHawes]

Hi! The best advice I can give is to say to keep at it, and to study things like anatomy, perspective, and textures. The more you draw, the better you will get. Thanks for commenting!

-- Matt

[2003JL]

that's cool. I used to make my own "comic books" when I was 9-12. they weren't good, but looking back I wished i practiced more. I am getting back into drawing because of drawing videos like yours. keep up the good work! and thanks for inspiring me.

[MattHawes]

Thanks for your very kind comment!

-- Matt

[shannonhalstead0]

i got two questions

1. why did you draw alot of puple people?

2. im 12 and i can draw as good as you can when you were 15 but i can never think of characters how do you do it?

p.s your a great drawer

[MattHawes]

Hi! 1. At that time, I had cheap markers with no good flesh color pens. 2. I can't really explain how I come up with ideas. They just come to me.

Thanks for the kind words, and keep drawing!

-- Matt

[shannonhalstead0]

o well thank you for awnsering my question though

[shannonhalstead0]

what position did you play in base ball?

i play catcher

[MattHawes]

I played in the outfield, as I recall. The truth is that I am not really into sports, but I played one year of little league because my father liked sports. My brothers are all into sports, though. Thanks again for the comments!

[whtevr11]

same with me,i can't think of anything....i need something to look at to make a drawing

[YrUlUKkiNAtM34]

PLEASE teach me the way of foreshorthening lol great vid......

[MattHawes]

Hi! I wish I was good at explaining how to do things. I will try to do so in a future video. Thanks!

-- Matt

[Cnote39legend]

Yo that's so tight,I draw comics too.

[thejoker057]

[captain405]

Really cool. I espicially liked that "fearless five" thing

[MattHawes]

Thank you very much! I made over 22 issues of a homemade comic featuring that team. Thanks for watching and commenting! Happy holidays! -- Matt

[TheNewAmazing]

Did you ever think about penciling for marvel or DC or anyone like that?

[MattHawes]

Hi, Amazing! Yep, I've thought about it. I still have intentions of doing so at some point, if it's a possibility. I am planning on self-publishing my own comic in the next year. Thanks! -- Matt

[TheNewAmazing]

Yeah, that would be great! I know that you can summit freelance work to Darkhorse...Image and DC are jerks when it comes to that kind of thing though.

[ucantbserious]

you are truly gifted god bless

[MattHawes]

Thank you very much! -- Matt

[Supraman2218]

[MattHawes]

[Marihani]

Amazing doesn't even cover it. Fantastic stuff, Matt - and very differing styles too. Wow.

Who's the baby?

[MattHawes]

The baby is my nephew, Brett, who will turn 21 in a couple of weeks. EEP! Thank you very much for the kind words, Mari! -- Matt
