Wao... just wao...

[HBLefty]

dude ur voice is so soothing... Lol.

[captainparady]

yay its true , you cant really draw something that doesnt " exist " , more than an milkshake of everything that you have experience.

[YouSeeWhatISay]

oh wow i just went on your website and i could swear i saw one of your pieces in imagine fx

[machinesmith]

I don't think I'll ever be able to draw like this/you. Oh well at least I can appreciate other peoples skills, subbed!

[tuffsolja]

what you were saying about creativity is very true. i've been drawing since i could pick up a pencil and i use images that i have seen in real life, books, photos, movies. I add to them or combine things together to create creatures or landscapes that to other people will be alien.

[lloydismyname]

Thank you for this. I totally agree with the idea of us only being able to work on what we've already seen. If you ever think about mythical creatures, they're always combinations of several different known animals. Just trying to create something new, you'll find you borrow from everything you already know. It's the same with music. I loved the idea of "loose" drawing (thumbnail example) and could really identified with everything you said. Thanks so much for your advice; it was invaluable.

[lloydismyname]

I have to also add that you have a hell of a talent. It can be pretty mind-boggling watching you throw shapes together, erase and throw back in over and over... and end up with something that looks great.

Creativity? I use Absinthe xP

[TheUnknownone1]

Your words are highly inspirational. 

/Subscribed =)

[ZRBarab]

Wow that really helped me thnx.

[Balloonbot]

You're really right in what you say. I only learned this rule recently.

[GOSTEON3]

hes right, u cant just leap ahead and draw somethingthat ur mind doesnt understand or hasnt seen before.

[MCTMD1]

Very nice!

[eaton1012]

[DiscoWizard]

Dude thank you

You have opened my eyes, i have been trying so hard to make something amazing, but now i realize, and now i truly feel that i am one step closer to being a great artist, because of your video, so once again thank you.

[immortaliserwow]

tnx for the info dude i learned smth i hope i will need in future :)

[ContainsIt]

build your visual library : best advice.

[ActiveStorage]

animators are good at drawing. are u an animator?

[meoandyean]

fuck wha are you doing

[GeneralHightower]

Great vid. keep it up... that a wacom you're working on?

[joosteke]

excellent vids! and great brush too..

anything similar possible on photoshop anyone? not familiar enough with photoshop I really should try out more.. or see some more youtube tutorials :D

[uber0wn3r]

its just a random generator brush, it thrown out diff shapes at diferent transparancys

[Shaun750]

Far out man..........

[Sieg2k6]

Hey, me again. :P

I find my problem with the whole visual libary thing is that my memory isent all that great for it.

I understand some people have 'a photographic memory?' in that they can pretty much see the full thing they saw in there head?

In mine i remeber the very basics but forget alot of the details and intresting stuff.

Thats why i tend to always need some kind of viusal stimulation at hand like a photo.

I really enjoyed this video. I'm right now finishing up in college as an animation major but my strong point is in concept art. I agree alot with the visual library concept, my art history classes in particular are always floating around in my head and help me to push my concepts to higher levels of quality and creativity. Also watching ya sketch/doodle is very relaxing <3

[lethologic]

sorry, you already answered my question in another comment. Please tell me more about your technique - what shortcuts are you using? are you changing the brush slightly (in size or shape) as you go? etc...

[lethologic]

yeah, what brush did you use? or what settings? very good stuff, i love how you use random shapes and work in to them to create line intention.

[MurdokX1]

what brush did you use?

[plugz]

I agree with everything you said! its my common belief to that we use what we know to create. everythings already been done. just like in movies. all the stories have been told. its how we tell the stories, is what makes us original.

[SSuuronen]

I've always been told otherwise... It's a sad thing I realized that THIS is what I enjoy more. I think I'll post a second video to my profile later, there you can see the huge difference between my first video and the new one. Like... Before this and after this. Thank you a lot! Keep on rockin', man!

[BlueHelmut]

painter 9 is used in videogame concept art,, btw g8 vid man

[sunnymountains]

Suuuuper stuff you are doing man - really helped me out on getting further with my painting - thanks - do more !

[ericshealy885]

I dunno that we pick up everything from a prior source. Maybe our starting points, but as things develop they gain a sort of internal consistency... their own reality almost, and require (say) a dab of red in this place, a sword in that hand, or an island over there. After a point, the artist is following the whims of the piece and not the other way around.

[jrmay77cr]

freud would have a field day with you at 5:40... think about it. very cool though.

[illmilk]
