[Artemisoneful]

240p we meet again

[aboyer1013]

Yet another drawing tutorial on the shittiest quality resolution. This is useless.

[yogonauta]

focus FOCUS¡¡

[MarkLudford]

Stop lying. You're telling people you shot this with a webcam for a friend, then you're saying it was done for ACME Animation with a webcam, and then you're saying it's because YouTube messed up the clarity. then when you're asked about it you try and force your 'premium videos' on us. Go scam someone else.

[Hannah6412]

this video may be helpful for someone trying out to be an artist for an animated film. good tips, but doesnt tell you how to draw a hand.

[kopyritte]

not even worth watching with the blur sorry , but you were talking about rejecting portfolios I would regect this video

[sheldonsartacademy]

@kopyritte Hello Thank you for bringing this to the attention of the new viewers. These videos were done for acme animation years ago I used a cheap web cam. I keep them up because I was asked. The purchase videos are shot with a nice camera. I hope this helps. Also, as an artist on review boards it is necessary to not except every portfolio. Wish we could. Talk soon Sheldon

[dumpywhite]

To those who say this isn't how to draw hands.... The way to draw hands is to look at hands... and draw them... there ya go.

[ashikaru132]

Imagine what awesome thing could happen is SheldonAcademy and MarkCrilley joined up together in a parter ship to create awesome drawings and stuff!!! WOO!!!

[Scricky13]

okeeey:)))))

[sheldonsartacademy]

Yes

These are the original videos.

I am sorry for being MIA.

It has been very busy with 2 colleges as well as our school and freelance.

We will be around more and also want to start some new Videos.

Maybe some demo versions.

What do you all think?

I would love some suggestions.

Take care and talk soon

Sheldon

[zippythewildone]

@sheldonsartacademy I have taken a figure drawing class and can draw, but I'm daunted by the task of animating. Could you provide some demo videos giving tips on the animation process?

How long should a second's worth of animation take to make? What should I be shooting for if I wanna become a professional?

Thanks

PS I love your videos and its my dream to be a student of yours :)

[scrubbler23]

[karismatube]

Anche un bimbo di 5 anni e' capace di ricalcare!!!

Prrrrrr

[azuuuuuuul1]

Pero eso es calquear, no estas creando

[star73cool]

i only saw four fingers so not so good try doing it again with a better camara.

[diskiefunkagrunge]

you're blind dude

[waraider1]

@star73cool Your blind

[TheBassplayah]

Instead of pointing out the one negative....like a simple reflex....I got the POINT of the lesson...and took that away instead, plus what he said was very important!...so Thanks for THAT Sheldon.....Im sure I'll be happy with the vids when I buy em!

[XxXxbaileybailXxXx]

this dude SERIOUSLY expects us to see what he's doing??????????

[hedende]

out of focus...but thanks for the effort

[ccm800]

so this is a commercial for videos you are selling? hmmmm.

[Adahimo]

I can't see shit!!!

[sheldonsartacademy]

The Video was done with a web-Cam for a friend years ago.

The videos that are on sale from our web-site are done with a real video camera.

I wish that I could teach such a difficult subject in a few minutes.

This is why so many people requested the video series.

The videos do cover the subjects with extreme detail.

Thanks again for the feedback and please let use know what else we can do for you.

Regards

Sheldon Borenstein

[IonDeity]

@Adahimo why would you want to?

[milionis]

cool video but its blured, I would like you to do it again, with a close up lens

[dragonholder411]

Is it just me, or is the hand he's doing is totally blurred out? I mean seriously, this is probably a really good video, but I can't see crap! Grr.... how do you draw baby hands by the way? I know they're different, they're fatter and stuff, so it's a little different, ya know?

[EdParnell]

Thanks Sheldon. My drawing is mostly crap but I am trying to make cartoons. You've been very helpful here.

[bertyy28]

cool man ... u helped me a lot :P ... take a look at my draws and tell me what u think ^^

[1mGamer]

i dont like anime..real rulez!

[asian897]

same here:)

[CoolGirlJill]

my problem is that I keep drawing the hands too small compared to the body can some one help me?

[1mGamer]

i make hands too tall..lol..i mean the arm..too tall

[JmAnN2486]

maybe im off her but cant you just draw the hand and then, like, trace around it so make it bigger, kinda like when you start drawing the body with the circles. idk, maybe you could try that. hope it helped a little =)

[CoolGirlJill]

hey thanks for the help ^_^ I am now one step closer to makeing real manga 8D

[lostbryanlost]

how about a hand made from scratch -.-

[crayon13c]

Hands. Of all the things I can draw, hands is the most difficult. Most of them look like a ball with five baby terds attatched. No, I am not exaggerating either. Hands are so difficult for me.

[ZRBarab]

LOL same here big squarish turd for me.

[1BlackSunshine1]

LOL!!! XD!!

[hajiscello]

This video isn't meant for random amusement. It's for people who love drawing and seriously want to learn more. I liked it. I draw anime and my biggest difficulty is hands and feet. You're drawings are pretty cool.

[LordGabry]

the point of that pencil would work to kill a human xD

nice vid, helped me

[agasaff]

HI PPL,i guss if someone have problem with drawing hands,i got my own idea i am sure its can help you too,JUST think about the way you want to draw your hand,then take pic of it in your phone,AND WALLA!! :D!

[jrproguy]

[toomy1995]

[naruto77dragon]

what kinds paper did ya use?

[orochiThing]

the first paper looks like a light grey canson paper. Its a rough type with two different texture on each side, usually, not always, used for charcoal. the second is ur typical tracing paper ;D

[Chasmodius]

You totally just drew a head-crab from Half-life!

[EverlastingTwilight1]

lol good hand it sorta looks like a bug

[FlamingKnight78]

That could not come out anymore gay.

[54spiritedwill54]

[nionia3435417]

[AshlanAmnesia]

[sheldonsartacademy]

Hello everyone

The new Videos are now ready for download.

Just go to our web-site.

These are my college lectures and also used to ramp up

Studios in the US, Denmark and London.

They are progressive and can be viewed in order.

Please let us know if you have any questions.

Take care

Sheldon

[tokyo3457]

such a beautiful hand she got there!

[jcatlett1976]

How to draw hands...narrated by Fred Rogers :-)

[sheldonsartacademy]

Very very very very funny

Thank you

Sheldon (Mr Rogers) Borenstein

[jcatlett1976]

was hoping you would be amused and not peeved...Nice tutorial by the way.

[sranker198]

who's the one talking it seems like mark crilley seriously

[3993]

me too. hands are not meant for me or something.

[PrincessEliona]

I no professional more an amaetur but i reall suck at hands mine liki like tiny sausges stuck to a cylinder

[hidefromthesun]

i suck at drawing hands too lol.

[sheldonsartacademy]

Relax

The new video's are on the way.

All drawings done from scratch

OK?

[PaperMario360]

could u make a vid of a fist facing down please? i search and search but no tutorials =/ but if u do make one it would really help

[kiisu55]

good video, I really suck at drawing hands, this really helped.

[Cookieanddough]

woooaahh!! sooo gd!!

i find hands soo hard !!

but u helped! :D

thankkkyoou!

xx

[Nathaliaescorpio]

todo eta perfecto ecepto tu voz

me llega!!!

[saltysuicide]

omg this dude sounds like dave mustaine!

[decliningglory]

yeah?

[RobotBacon]

Okay, so that's how to trace hands - how about how to draw them?

[D1368]

sharp ass pencel

[siasia2]

poor video quality - i can't see what he is doing.

[bbbzzuupp]

so w8, ppl have been commenting in a negative way? WAT RETARDS!!!!! dis guy makes more money than u probably, u retards probably live in a carboard box, how would u like it if we made fun of u retards, don't even say ur gonna kick my ass, cuz i can do twice as much ass kickin than u retartds!!

[asder244]

If you're referring to the immature remarks such as 'dumbfuck' or calling him an idiot, yes I agree.

But this video does not teach someone how to draw a hand, it just doesn't. He spends the time talking about how long it would take to make a video about drawing hands and the importance of being able to draw hands.

I also don't see how this has anything to do with how much money he has or we have. To make judgments about anyone on the basis of their bank account is simple minded.

[neogeomm]

I agree. This was of no help at all! I wish he would have drawn a hand from scratch instead of tracing it. To be honest that hand looks gimp, it's probably just me.

[bbbzzuupp]

so w8, ppl have been commenting in a negative way? WAT RETARDS!!!!! dis guy makes more money than u probably, u retards probably live in a carboard box, how would u like it if we made fun of u retards, don't even say ur gonna kick my ass, cuz i can do twice as much ass kickin than u retartds!!

[BillSparrow]

It's funny how people "dis" on this video when this guy most likely makes more money than any one of you losers making fun of the video.

[lauracida]

Don't be stupid, what the hell has money to do with it?

[resen420]

yeah

[Ahnkor1015]

The people who don't see how this is helpful is retarded. Sheldon is showing you the construction of a finished hand, so you know what to look for next time you draw a hand.

[ax0lotl]

Yah, but we all know that body parts can be constructed from cylinders. It would be more helpful to discuss angles, where there should be gaps, where to add shadows to indicate the knuckles, for example. This video is pretty useless for anyone who's bothered to look through a beginner's instruction booklet.

Also, don't be a dick. Nobody here is retarded, except maybe the guy who exclaimed, "WAT RETARDS!"

[ax0lotl]

Also, I do appreciate this is part of a progression, and also I appreciate that the author is providing expertise for free on youtube for the world to access. I think that's pretty awesome. Just that I think it's valid when some people say it's not useful. Don't jump on the guy's dick as soon as someone says something negative. Negative and positive are both aspects of truth.

[arixynie01]

Thank you for something realistic. I approve of everything you say. I have trouble with angles myself. I find the hand is the hardest thing to draw and I also appreciate sheldonsartacademy for contributing this information.

[WaywardMist]

I find it interesting that you're replying to yourself. And that your IQ seemed to jump twenty points on your second reply...

But like you said, when most people teach - like really TEACH - they charge you money for it, so you shouldn't expect a super-duper high quality art tutorial posted for free on Youtube.

[jasperdj]

why do you all post negative comments? because this is for the people that really can use it, but all you assholes are pathetic people that don't have a life!!!

And great tut ;)

[Vicious713]

Hmm, you should probably disable comments on this video, the trolling You tube community can't handle professional advise.

[MissBlacKatt]

Yeah, that would be a good idea. But Sheldon appreciates the feedback... Oh well, thanks for the support anyway.

[RagnarokOnline1234]

lool looks like a headcrab.....

[zbang33]

WHAT THE FUCK ! YOU'RE JOHN HOWE !!!

[MissBlacKatt]

Who the hell's John Howe?!?

~MBK~

[HeathersArk]

What you've been a youtube subscriber for 10 days (as of 2day the 13th), only 3 days when u posted comments and ur and expert?!??!? Where's some of your work?

[malutki5200]

lol? You know why i say he is idiot coz he don't real draw this is not real draw!!

He copy it from page behind ...

And dont say taht cuz i can make acc now but i draw like for 6 years.. Than just shut up its only my opinion you can have another mind of this vid..

And this is not my firs acc i had acc before but i forgot password than dont be so agresive

[LemonLime123]

Sorry buddy, He probably did draw it. It's an instructional video not a 'Hey look I can draw hands' video. He said in the video plenty of times that it would take 10+ videos to show the full drawing of hands.. He just started us off.

[MissBlacKatt]

Dude, where the hell is your spelling and grammar? If you're gonna dis a professional college art teacher, at least say it with the correct use of words.

Oh, and Sheldon says "Chill out. It's just drawing."

[MissBlacKatt]

Dude, where the fuck is your grammar? Spell right if you're gonna say anything to us.

[dylan5102]

dumbfuck

[mercedez343]

[steaveisanegg]

Dude, this is good, as is the hands one, but you can't see anything well enough for it to be of any real help. You seriously need to draw darker, or use a pen for your tutorial videos.

[tishtish4]

thank you soooo mush for the tip about using hands and feet on your portfolio. im doing one now thats due in a couple of days so now i think im gonna incorporate that into it :).

[S4F300]

That was good but where was the fifth finger.

[iheartvivalabam]

the fifth fnger was rite by the middle finger well atleast i think

[MrDemon15]

1 word...brilliant! thanks alot for tis vid im always drawing hand bad and you have made my 'hand' drawings better thanks a lot!

[zypher18]

top notch. You make it look so simple most people will over look it.

[bma852]

[Damernick4]

[yancyisgay]
