[SquirrelShock]

[korinzoe]

very nice i see you dnt shape dynamics which is awesome i cnt drawing anything realistic with out it props dude

[CreativeSketcher]

I read about your accident, and to be honest I found it a bit amusing. This summer, now a few months ago the exact same thing happened to my dad. He was riding his bike, but then by accident he fell and hit his head. His memory disappeared as well for a few days. Eventually he got it back though. Hope everything worked out for you!

[ethanashton]

Hope all is getting better just read this. Why do you not place ads on your videos? You Can make a lot throught the google adsense I think with the views you get? Anyway I hope you are good to go now.

[WiEnIaPl]

@chrisscalf

My friend you are truly a genius I would be homered if you would think about doing some tutorials do I may attempt to become a fraction of the artist you are

[iwolfman37]

I swear yuhr like the best artist I kno of, without yuh, i would've never been able to drawn a realistic dragon, or even a crappy cartoon of one. Keep it up bro !

[gravesm009]

U 2 get better

[ludfjig]

I love your art, Chris, and i have learned alot from watching you draw.

And there is something i really want you to do; buy one wacom cintiq 21UX...

It's the best wacom tablet ever! You paint directly on screen instead of a normal black pad!

I think would draw EVEN better (if that now is possible) on Wacom cintiq 21UX.

I hope you continue drawing and upload on youtube and i can't wait for commentary tutorials.

Goodluck!

Best regards Ludvig (Sweden)

[MegaTate100]

@ludfjig How much are these?

[Jeff1N]

i´ve watched some of ur videos and its easy to notice that u r a really talented person, contratulations! and i hope u get better soon

by the way i'd like to ask u something , do u know any good and cheap tablet that someone who is good wiht a pencil but never made a digital paint can easy get used to?

[Dudezwithguitarz]

@Jeff1N I use a bamboo tablet, it's cheap and it's really confortable, i got used to it in about 1 week. Also, you should check genius, and watch and search some reviews of any kind of tablets that you might be interested in. Good luck

[bluethink84]

AWESOME!!

[N1ghtCroW]

Hey, i have some questions, if you don't mind answering them:

1. How long have you been drawing?

2. Did you took any art classes?

3. How did you learn to draw dragons?

Anyway, i hope you get better. Good luck in you life, family and your daughter! :)

[Nyaaaaa14]

do you have an RMD acc.?

[jonisleil]

/love

[TheRainbowHurricane]

i always wanted to ask you, does the screen in photoshop appear on your pen tablet, or your tablet is just black and you draw on a monitor?

[wewk584]

Best wishes to you and your family. And a speedy recovery

[TheEllaVator]

I hope you're better soon. You're still the most talented man on Youtube!

I used to get migraines that were basically just really intense vertigo. I couldn't control micro-movements, and I was so dizzy even when I was sitting down. It didn't go away for a few days, and it came back the next week. I did some research on migraines and found out that some people only have vertigo as a symptom. Maybe something strange like that happened to you?

And I agree: stalk the Skyrim boards!

[MinecraftZephos]

You are a trooper sir. Get well soon mate.

God bless.

On another note, maybe next time you do a realtime drawing, perhaps incude some commentary, such as what tool you are using, settings, etc!

-Cole

[TheKittyKatNat]

Goodluck with getting better :)

Even when you have a dodgy hand and sore head you still draw miles better than most! Dont doubt yourself. Amazing work..

[andrewjen87]

Hope you recover quickly and find your answers. Good luck with your sketch a day goals, if you write it down somewhere, or use an app like Do it (Tomorrow), it's motivating to attend to it daily and cross it out when you're done.

[mik3ayala18]

you are a warrior my friend, taking an injury like that and drawing being the number one priority. hell, this time around you will come back twice as better than before. believe it!

[yos2481]

whats your pixel ratio?

[animenolifer2]

you should work for bethesda

[muncleike]

dude glad your ok,i hope you still go them shirts at your site.keep working your mind i don't think it'll be a good idea to get lazy with it after a concussion

[HyuugaHimeKun]

Hey man, what pad do you use? Intuos?

[syrti01]

I always wonder whether you use mouse or touchpad?

Love your work!

Hope you feel better!

[Matt6128]

I hope you make a speedy recovery, your art is amazing and you should never stop! Take care!

[pontaloon666]

Hope you get better soon!

[Falahomer]

please take great care of yourself and I know you'll be A.O.K.. You're awesome

[Luvinjazzy69]

Question : Did you take a course on photoshop, are did you teach yourself?

[2xXNIMXx2]

you should do another finish the picture thing cause that was fun :). something like fantasy though.

[emeraldqueen911]

hope you feel better soon

[Spearmintyify]

You inspierd me thanks-

[VideoAdventurer]

I hope you recover soon, and that all is well. This is a wonderful sketch, i love watching your vids.

Get well soon :)

[Bunji2k6]

Hope you make a speedy and full recovery! After reading your post about humility, I know that you're a fighter and a true inspiration. You'll get through this, no problem.

[AmoBytes]

Really sorry to hear about your accident. I know your art will be fine, you're great! And I really hope you recover swiftly!

[ghap4a]

Inspiring as usual. I pray the Lord for your to get well soon!! Blessings!

[WolfLinkZant]

Cgs i hope you have time to answer this, my birthday is in half a month and i want to find a drawing program for the old windows xp thats tops $400 austrlian. The only thing i can think of is artrage studio pro but im not sure if thats a good choice b/c i have ar2.6 and im not rly happy with it.

[chippymunkey]

wow. it's so inspiring watching you work. I hope you get well soon!

[PanCakeN2MU]

U should do this more often. By watching u draw real-time, I can concentrate on your order and purpose of each stroke.

[MrAsianSwag]

Really good! The only thing I'd say is push your values on the right side of the face a little bit more. Other than that, you've got a great thing going on!

[sakosam]

this real time videos are really helpful.. you're really talented; though that goes without saying. keep posting these realtime vids so i can try and learn from you thanks a lot!

[ACWraith]

Good luck and get well! =)

[PuppyZwolle]

All the best to you. I hope it was a one time event. But these things sure are scary.

On the $ bit? How about having a raffle? Not everyone would be able to afford an artwork but buying a ticket at $2 would not be a problem. And the chance of winning would bring a nice extra kick to it. Just a thought. You would need to make a video commercial though. ;^)

[PuppyZwolle]

I looked at your sketches. Shipping and handling (to the Netherlands) is more expensive than the art. You are an amazingly affordable artist.

[sifle3]

get well soon...just like muscle, you'll probably be better than ever as soon as you heal completely

[larry89]

you're a sick person!

[Sanyeliz]

i did notice change, but u still got it, mister! your daughter is beautiful and your art is breathtaking :) just by watching this im sure ull be fine ^_^

[nethersoul62]

Wow, this is still splendid, whether or not you felt you were at your best. I really enjoyed the real-time aspect that allows some of the viewers to better understand the whole process you take towards art. It really helps the aspiring artists :).

[Sailor9870]

This is amazing. I hope you get well soon :)

[2ndSonStudio]

some narration or music would've made this video superb.

[omnigear1975]

@2ndSonStudio you can always play your own =) in the bg.

[andypavon]

you are amazing :)

[Argentknight16]

I am really sorry about your accident, and the sketch looks really good don't feel bad about it. I am sure you will get better in no time.

[darknewday4d]

wooooow..

[Gamemaster005]

Hope you feel better.

[MetalJody1990]

Great sketch. Maybe I should fall off a wagon to become this good ;)

Get healed soon.

[Th3AngryGam3r]

You need to make a post on the skyrim boards bud. You are excellent at painting dragons and The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim is going to be all about Dragons. You can promote your cause and maybe even sell your skyrim fanart and branch out more. They are loving my art there and you are leagues better than I am so I know it would work. Sorry about your accident and I hope you get well soon.

[cgsbgs]

@Th3AngryGam3r thanks

[Th3AngryGam3r]

@cgsbgs You are inspirational as always man, I should thank you. I had hand injuries from my data entry job. lost my job because of it and now art is difficult. But seeing how you always get back up and keep fighting for yourself and your family it inspires me to also keep fighting and doing art. I hope that one day my art is good enough to help spread awareness for autism like you do. Not only for my autistic daughter but for everyone who suffers and struggles with it.

[Wlizer]

@cgsbgs so did you do it?

[grendax]

@Th3AngryGam3r Can you point me in the direction of these boards? I want to look. x]

[matttharipper]

Gah even the first two lines you drew looked bad ass -____- lmao :D

[nuculais]

ho greaaath, thanks for the vids bro, you are really PRO :B

[CrazymaniacFreak]
