Drawing Lessons : How to Draw Elves

[Joebunyos]

Mine looks like a squirrel who had a frontal crash with a tree

[crapinoun]

Thanks :)

[prettylady101911]

Wow...I tried this and it came out horrible looking lol

[Awsomefox2000]

elf looks like Thor in Avengers :( :O

[Calling2Heaven]

he really does remind me of an elf...I'll be honest and admit that I looked at his ears after I saw that grin lol. Anyway, really good video, and very talented dude :D

[Chandraamukhi]

he seems so sympathetic lmao

[herediablo99]

i did as good as him and im 9 but im using my cousin account i ont have one

[herediablo99]

coolllll

[Koroar]

Wow this is great!

[fuedi]

thank you very much for these tutorials! so good!

[MrGreenLeaf1234]

Wow thats a nice drawing! I love drawing and elves. But the one thing I dont agree with in the drawing is the hair, its too bushy and all over the place. I think elves look really good when their hair is long, and flowing.

[orangejuiceandgravy]

Woah! I did it as good as him and I'm only 11.... I'm surprised by myself!

[TTproductz]

@orangejuiceandgravy yes, everyone can copy a drawing, but try to make it without watching, and then make it again with watching this video. then you will learn about the mistakes (:

[overhemd3000]

Unbelievable...

[TwilightOtaku666]

O.o i have found the one good expert village video

[MrCriz911]

I have that same exact pencil!

[blakem77]

i draw like you step by step but i cant be as good as you!

[AznKittyLove]

elves are in style. :)

[Jeea84]

HI

I drew it wow! I have the worst drawing of the world and I managed to draw the elf with your tutorial. Thank you very much.

But there's one problem. If you could keep your camera trained on the paper itself the WHOLE time you're drawing, we could do better sketches.

Thanks.

[southparkfanatic333]

you should pencil comic books man you are an awesome drawer this elf face looks very jim lee esque

[EmmettCullen911]

that elf needs boseley

[RabidHumans]

That little grin at the end made me smile.

[TheImperfectTheory]

@iHumorous Elves are somewhat feminine anyways.

[priotgirl619]

anyone else notice he kinda looks like an elf?

[Xdarkwolfx32]

@priotgirl619 maybe thats why he's so good……He knows all about his people*-*

[witlessrogue58]

I have one complaint. You keep putting the camera on yourself when you should keep it on what you're trying to teach people. Mark Crilley for example focuses on his art, which doesn't distract from the lesson like yours does. No offense intended, I'm just saying.

[Crazycat7121]

Every time I try to draw this it ends up looking like someone made an ugly face and it stuck there, so I am convinced. You are a magician.

[KAT90013]

Check out NinhPianoAndArt to see his amazing drawings and tips!

[TheAsianDomaination]

@iHumorous male lips have a thinner top lip so draw a curved line then draw a curved line on the bottum then the top is up to you if you want thin lips or a bit more defined lips (to do this just draw a female top lip but a lot closer to the first line you drew. hope this helps and wasn't confusing lol bye

[dudethedogify]

accualy tolken used the elves of norweagian myth not his own model

[mythrules14]

he makes it look so easy....

[nciscrew]

What type of pen do you use?

[MsYellowone1]

SWEETNESS!! That was AMAZING!!! I looked just like the elves in 'The Lord of the Rings'!! xD

[vinnyjk123]

what pencil do you use?

[Jeea84]

can u plz ask ur cameraman to keep the camera fixed on the paper? it's very confusing when u do something when the focus is zoomed out. =X

don't u hav any more drawing lessons? how about how to draw a parrot?

thanx anyway. your tulip tut was awesome, helped me make a wonderful card for my parents' anniversary. i dint even think i could b so gud =)

[Starwarsfreak231]

@RusMakMonkey123 there is no correct way to hold your pencil, only opinions of it.

[2010gmoney]

@iHumorous make it a female elf

[Supersomonerandom]

@iHumorous make them smaller

[GrayGhost28100]

Is he trying to state that he is an elf, because I see more of him than I do the drawing.

[playinnpwnin]

you are a racist sir. Not all elves have short pointed ears!

[THEJamgun]

@iHumorous Males have a certain positioning that females dont.

Look at a males mouth alot, then you might notice the difference.

[Xippih]

I tried to draw an elf but the nose and eyas looked quiet odd so i have decided its a Troll. :P

[Xippih]

I tried to draw an elf but the nose and yeas looked quiet odd so i have decided its a Troll. :P

[TaraMistsword]

You have such a soothing voice. And beautiful talent :]

[jiazhan]

expert village is not really for expert....

[Atreo98]

@iHumorous lol me neither

[jackbowman12]

@iHumorous try doing them without a cupids bow :) and make them thinner.

[RusMakMonkey123]

dude ur great but umm hold ur pen right. u people in america think there is no right way, but there is in fact. if u go to asia and maybe europe(not sure) they teach kids at a young age to hold a pencil/pen a comfortable and convenient way.

[LionTroy]

How do draw elves: Draw thin and sexy....now add long ears.

[enter0title0here]

@iHumorous Don't draw the exact outline like lip-liner. The way I do it is just draw the line of the mouth (w-ish one) and shade a little under the lip. :3 Though, then again, I mostly draw anime.

[thesillysock]

@iHumorous SAME! ;^;

[goodfirefly]

you have my sub :))

[panadesu]

wow an expertvillage video with an actual expert

[MrsBillKaulitz283]

Jay is always so nice in his videos! I love watching them :)

[dobsonone]

hey dude, u know the way u hold ur pencil is that sumfin particular 2u? or cause ur left handed or is it a technique?

[miladimedina]

:D wow very helpful video thanks

[Borleys]

god jay french once again you have BLOWN my mind

[orenjiorange1995]

incredible left-hand

[tc123123]

i like this kind fo elf, they are so beauitful!

[yugoroth1]

whoa! you make it look EASY!

[lackrome]

@iHumorous Tend to make the prolabium more popping and prominent. Probably deeper.

[AngieCosco]

Dude! Draw Legolas!

[ekriakon]

son of a bitch!!!

[kuska7cp]

@iHumorous then make the elf female

[erinladie]

i cant get the hair ... mine suckith : )

[SvenTviking]

Of course, nowhere, nowhere, NOWHERE in Tolkien's work did he ever mention that Elves had pointed ears. He had a full description of Hobbits, but, guess what? No pointed ears there either.

[TheMalici0usM0nk3y]

I can't get any type of Head shape Right T~T

[FerdyTheater]

damn! you are my hero!!!!!!!! i love you dude! xD all my visual education designs i make watching your videos and you are good in this! keep up the good work ^^

btw, i whould like to learn how to draw a dwarf :P

[kddank]

LEGOLAS!

[silvetooo7]

dude you rock :)

[mrBballable]

so that a male or female

[jermie901]

Can you tell me what brand did you use ( Mechanical Pencil)

[Tomekwinxs]

Jay, you ROCK!

[kagome596]

This was so helpful! Your an amazing artist! I hope I can draw like you some day!!! :D

[bbfan77]

pretty cool ^^ (wow, I draw the nose exactly like you do :3 which is... unimportant I guess.. and not that rare.. forget I said anything)

your voice is very soothing... and I like the way you drew the eyes ^^

[Aspenbebe]

you suck !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[doodlemagik93]

You're a lefty too!!!! :D

You're amazing!

[Yamagatabr]

WoW! Its Legolas Father drawing his family? O_O

[inthehizzynow]

ummm thats a HUNK not an elf

[CoffeyKillah]

your smile at the end of each video looks like a kid getting his/her favorite birthday present. xD

[lizrascal]

I love drawing! I love your tutorials. When I was 7 my docter told me I had JRA. So drawing was the only thing that I was great at. I'm 12 and even better at it now.

[Pummeluff97]

Oh he looks very nice :D

[XTutorialesAKilleSX]

It looks like.... Link!

[TheStefanko22]

It would mean everything if you could do blood elves from world of warcraft!

[TheStefanko22]

It would mean everything if you could do blood evlves from world of warcraft!

[junerose5]

Thanks Jay. What a handsome elf. I wish they were real. LOL Love all your videos.

[1q156]

thats only the face :c i need the entire body but your very good anyway :) i subbed

[Thecoolbean27]

no offence to our good friends of the asian persuasion but the person looks asian |:

[Firedancer93]

Very good except in my eyes his neck is too fat lol but still good

[TheWowPawner]

THE TEXT IS IN THE WAY!

[darken27]

@TheWowPawner Press the "CC" key at the bottom of the video to remove the text.

[BlackStar1505]

can you stop the fuck the freaking switching from the paper to the artist its freaking irretating and you miss the parts you maybe looking for

[wiffybiffy]

absolute shite. read your Tolkien fool

[FunnyZebraGuy]

Crap my ears are super freaking pointy it's a good thing I'm tall or I would look like a freaking elf

[Sporegirl27]

I love drawing =D

[yensen007]

hijos de puta del youtube lo bloqueraron cara de verga

[bardrangerrogue]

Holy crap. That was one of the most epic elves I've ever seen! Cool!

[ILoveBrandy110]

U taught me!!

[ILoveBrandy110]

(I'm writing in my friends account) Jay, I'm 11 and i can draw an elf exactly like you! 

[lizrascal]

@xOwenn Just keep believing, you'll find something you're good at.

[titinwau]

para mi , este tipo no sabe

dar lecciones de dibujo con esos ejemplos tan mediocrees

[Silver1478]

He looks and talks like a pervert. Good drawing though.

[Silver1478]

Holy shit dude..... 138,797 videos? Do you even have a life? But good drawing anyway...lol..

[Vivremedical]

LifeGuard30 loves elves!

[Vivremedical]

LifeGuard30 loves elves!

[amongbeyo]

You yourself look like an elf too. :3

[TheAnimeKid19]

looks like spock

[northwinder]

Amazing artist.:) and yes you do look like a hero,but I wouldnt say an elf.In my opinion you look like a paladin(Dungeons and Dragons Lore) xD

[EtaYorius]

What about a fem elf? nice video...

[zevran77]

that is really good and if you people want the ears longer draw it yourself

[booboowilson10101]

bumpityboo would like this

[kingofkings1star]

damm dog

[kensiebrown451]

this is exactly what i've been looking for. your video was very helpful. thank you :)

[HarukaxMichiru]

He already stated that he was drawing a TOLKEN (LotR, Etc) Elf. Not Anime. The Ears are correct, and the neck is fine.... His style is NOTHING like Disney's Classic Art... Disney always had simple ass lines for there character developement, it was there backgrounds that captured me back when they did everything by hand. Sleeping Beauty blew my mind. Great Job on the art, =D Glad to see you didn't conform yourself to everyone else's needs, it is always great to watch your videos!

[22dragonrider]

@HarukaxMichiru ur right man totaly

[EtaYorius]

@HarukaxMichiru Anime is so nasty... so gross... a Shame everyone these days wants to draw anime, discarding awsome styles such as the ones used in this video.

[Jursiiiik]

waaaw,he's really talented guy, but omg, could u stop showing there him talking?! I wanna see him drawing, not talking ... ! :'(( i try to draw it too,but how can I, when I don't see it?? :(( And I see, people agree with me...

[MicaLotro]

I'm married... but, wow, you look good... Ok, I will just change the page now. What am I thinking? God...

[MrKacnarfer]

@MicaLotro  you whore

[salakutt1]

Dude. That was amazing ^^! Sad that i am not so great in drawing :(!

But great job!

[TheHokageninja]

ty for the help dude

[gavrielbar1]

very nice!

[meela1000]

I tryed to draw it but for me it's a little hard:(

[CatspitProductions]

Classic Disney style art, good stuff. I would screen print some of their artwork on tee shirts but Disney is a stickler for copyright infringements even when it is a very small inconsequential quantity. I’m surprised they haven’t attacked YouTube like WMG. Very cool video!

[Ieraux]

woah he's left handed! Sweeet :D

[Gl1tch3rz]

you play wow lol

[CarlosMedina2]

I thought the hairstyle was pretty neat, I was thinking more like Blood Elf Male hairstyles from WoW but its a good drawing

[whubel]

He looks like one himself

[Mitsuru952]

Nice....except the hair.

[Grancerale]

Its super! idk why people complain so much, we all have different styles of drawing :) so do i, and i draw too,just making a manga on manga studio ex 4, and its very different if you compare my friend's drawings and mine. But it doesnt matters, someone likes it,someone doesnt,same as this elve. Awesome work !

[totemdestroyer]

i liked everything except for the hairstyle >.<

[XMelloRulezX]

why do most guy artists have their hair long and in ponytails?lol

[PajceRC]

Well at all he vasn't bad..nice work..:D

[OpacmanO1]

tolkiens elves arre elbes not elves!!!!!!!!!!!

[TheKidsAreAllRed]

@OpacmanO1

Neeeeeerd...

[OpacmanO1]

@TheKidsAreAllRed

I didn't have seen the films or read the books

i only know it because a boy in my primary school talked about it all the time

[ElisabethOrchard]

@OpacmanO1

You know only the German version of tolkiens books, right?

In english they are "elves" and not "elbes" in German "Elben" und nicht "Elfen".

[darkwind160]

Wow this is awesome, your so talented

[firebendermonkey]

nice

[Fisva]

Nice face, cool :D

[ashman9992]

nice ;]

[TheMangaGirlXD]

I love your style! ;D

[felleberre]

ummh...

[NinjaEntchen]

wow.. amazing =)

[jacobocandanedo]

execelent... cool lesson.. u did really great

[Bachu1]

Nice video. You are really relaxing to watch.

[ViorithCuthalion]

Excuse me, but could you make a female elf too? I like this one, so i'll give it 5*****. I was just wondering if you could do a female one.

[Bowradify]

i only watched half of your video and thought i should finish it off by myself, let me tell you it looked nothing like that ahaha, i thought you were gonna draw like a Young child elf or something like that from the shape of the face :) oh well practice makes pppppperfect i guess

[Mangapulse]

is the way you hold your pencil learned or came natural?

[thilgax]

your left handed rock on lefties

[dakduif]

that's just manga/anime style drawing ... -.-

[drcasper24]

@TheYO215 lol tht was wat i was going to say lol

[JibbyJabby123]

Awsome!!!!!!

[jayfrenchstudios]

Thanks everybody for your kind words! I should get on here more often to thank people. As for the pencil: standard .05mm HB mechanical pencil (with super-eraser). Also thanks to the user who said I AM an elf! As for the Wood Elves, I was trying not to make it too specific to any one mythos!

[wiffybiffy]

Not a bad attempt I suppose.

[jayfrenchstudios]

Keep in mind that I had to do these in 3 to 5 mintues, no editing...

[Fuzzllmao]

@jayfrenchstudios personally i wouldn't take it as a compliment.. because elves are fags, so be glad you aren't one.

uhm and btw

i'm sure someone already mentioned.. great drawing! xD

[willeSW93]

@jayfrenchstudios You rock dude! Wanna thank you for putting all of your drawing videos on youtube, because they've helped me alot! So Thanks! :D

[Prettysureitsdead]

@jayfrenchstudios sweet pic man, thanks you inspire many young drawers such as myself, very good(:

[Toro953]

@jayfrenchstudios that was great,I like the way you talk too

[balticterra]

thanks mate this helps alot ! :)

[LightGenesis1]

this guys is pritty good =D

[cuchulain55]

arent wood elves supposed to be shorter then then the high elves of the west. Like in the low 5 feets. and the hih elves are 6 fet ifnot more.:)

[sasecorzi]

there's a disproportion between those eyes..

[ProfessorEdelstein]

@sasecorzi to be fair though he did it in unjder four minuets

[FarmerFromWarsaw]

what type of pencil do u use ?

[ily4769]

omfg i have a terrible terrible time drawing eyes and mouths on these bastards lol. i think youve just pushed on a younge artist

[12senem]

Wooww m(O.O)m Great!!

[valieddy]

Cool 5 STARS

[luftim]

this guy here draws muuuutch better than that swedish guy

[Canadadude125]

Thanks a lot, I am not exactly an amateur, but this has helped me out quite a bit with a couple of problems I've been having with the eyes and mouth

[Razylll]

I know what you mean, my weak points come out on my drawings when applying emotionalism.

[AMVoverlord]

lol, well aren't you modest.
