oh hey! a demo sketch

[BlueEmeraldX]

I think the E word you were looking for was "elaborate."

[endeppa]

Aw dude this is awesome!

[SnackJackSJ]

I can actually draw Demo in a way that sort of looks like this. She's not really hard to draw, but she is fun to draw none the less.

[SandJosieph]

Demo is SO CUTE! :D

[yotipo91]

"You gotta take a plunger to your insides" "It has to come out"

[TheCrazytrainmusic]

thats not bad ITS GOOD!!

[Brother287]

Dear raocow. What kind of brushes is thattt? Its amazing and i want it

[AEternalDream]

I wish i could art like you.

Strange, but good advice c:

[DaVince21]

That sure was a nice demo!

[thatgreggguy]

I'm on a Tablet now :D

[Tinsin]

Also never mind, just noticed the newer vid.

[Tinsin]

I, too, would like to know what program you are using, raocow.

It seems interesting.

At any rate, another awesome drawing.

[oma0812]

Aw look, it's a little cute eyeball called Demo, what else is logical?

Good drawing skill, didn't expect any different... :P What program are you using...? It looks pretty complex.

[justsomeone6482]

How can some one say "Dude DUUDDE" to a picture when art is meant to express one's inner emotions to one's bordem.

Sorry im one of those philosophy type of people. :D

[LunarD3mon6]

"the touhous" folder. . .

[AdrianCloud5513]

You are making me want to draw, raocow. I'm not very good at it, but its that negative reinforcement that keeps me from trying.

You make me wanna get a tablet and do this.

[PoKeGOD123]

hey raocow I'm sure I've asked this way before in the past but could you show us some of your real life paintings!!!

[NumaNuma006]

Wow, you draw pretty fast and do an amazing job! Kudos Rao, I raise my hat to you.

[MonkeyCrossing2]

13:40

I know where your porn is now...other images file

[Fansunu]

I love Demo! She's such an original character.

[AdamantVision]

I adore your background coloring effects, and as a fellow artist it's really cool to actually see you do one on video like this. Love it!

[StoneMonkWisdom]

I gotta admit, I've always been a fan of your art. Like, hands down I wish I was able to put my thoughts into paper as well as you can. Its why I bought atxs afterall (it was a gift but I told thm to get it, but whatever)

So like, yha. This was incredibly enjoyable to watch.

[TheStickFiguer]

today i have ingested too much raocow... i found myself writing a song about a magic toaster. but i believe that i have consumed more raocow than raocow has..... perhaps i could donate some? if it were to be the thing i would like to be, that would be amazing... please reply if you would like my raocow

[Atanih23]

That isn't bad at all, it's actually pretty freaking neato.

[ppnnyyy]

Is there a chance to get the idontknowart.jpg (?) as a download?

[Cloaytonem2]

I still can't get enough of your art. There's nothing like it. No argument.

[TheGoomba98]

Many internets to you, Raocow.

[Atrus2225]

rao, u said that was bad???? That was AMAZING!!!!

[iDelanex]

is it a sin to like this more than your usually LP?

[nevroth]

As a flamenco dancer I have to agree 1007% about just letting it out and getting the crummy bits out of the way. I've found that the first time perfoming a new piece is never the best, sometimes it crashes and burns, but the more you do it, the more you let YOURSELF show thru, the better it becomes.

Love the tips of the trade and hearing you talk about it!!

[shadowrundas]

i like raocow's art style its very cartoon y and it makes me happy :D

[tmaniscool1]

lol could never even dream of making something as good as this

[McFlynder]

I'm a multimedia-design student, and I've been studying your style for some time.

I love how 'loose' your drawings are, but I was wondering how you made the background for your art. So this video couldn't come at a better time :D

Thank you! And I hope you make more of these in the future.

[Uberubert99]

This was entertaining to watch, both commentarywise and drawing-art-wise. I would welcome more videos in this style =)

[masic88]

why are you so frickin' addictive, raocow??

[dererick2796]

raocow should be my art teacher :)

[tmercswimsfast]

Still getting used to Windows 7 rao? :)

[slaughterbrother2]

Try drawing you own concept of mario not like how he already is

[kerbertox]

every single page of my sketch book has demo on it

[Offlineowl]

Raocow art is always a good thing to see the first thing you wake up. Except I woke up hours, hours, and hours before this but you get the point!

[randomkirbydanceman]

THE RECURNING

[DeadlockedGlitcher]

I like what you did with the Layer trick for the backround! I never know how to make my backrounds look good and not plain, if Flash FX has this I'll give it a shot. :)

[MichaelSaniyan]

Raocow vs. Directory

[IotaUPSB]

Really love your style and awesome "skillz". It's really effective in the comic type of stuff you do for a.t.x.s., and I have a feeling it'd work super well with a balls-to-the-wall stream-of-consciousness jumble of abstraction, too ^^

[HomeWingGamer]

Keep up the good work raocow!

[SchmittyRKD]

I lol'd unusually hard through the entire video.

[Phandiw]

Most important information about Demo, straight from the creator himself: It's okay to be rough.

[D4rkZer0]

Hey Raocow ! Vraiment un bon dessin surtout si on considère que ta mis 15 minutes à le dessiné, non concentré (tu parlais) et en plus avec un "stress" de filmer en dessinant, moi je te donne 10/10 ! Ah et pour le bleu en brun moi j'ai toujours vu le bleu en blond mais bon c'est peut-être juste moi !

[immunitytothedark]

You're pretty darn good at speed drawing. There's only one question: does Demo have a brother? ;)

[1337PhoeniXx]

@immunitytothedark if she would have a brother his name will probably be "Full Version"

[Phandiw]

For my part, I believe her brother if he existed would be Mr Science.

[DarkOverord]

This was an awesome watch. It's always great to watch an artist work, even if they're speed-drawing. You made it enjoyable by being usual Raocow, plus being informative, I loved your tips too, I should take lineart into consideration. Normally I just do lineart and go "THIS IS OKAY" with varying line densities, never thought about how I could use them WITH my shading c:

[jeremystery]

I wish we could see the process that goes into your comics. Or is that top secret?

[AndyRichterLUE]

'The Touhous"

You've drawn Touhou raocow!?

[StoneMonkWisdom]

If you look at his channel Background, he drew the bird guy from AUS, Mario, Marisa, and Demo.

~Comment by LaZodiac~

[DyslexicGecko]

raocow, would you be able to print/sell this sketch/one similar? I really want to buy it, for a speed drawing, it's amazing, I'd be pleased to ever produce computer graphics like that, and I'm doing a GCSE (UK school qualification) in Graphic Design!

As I said, i really like this and would willingly buy it/similar art pieces by you if you put this on sale!

[Yockel]

@DyslexicGecko Buy his comics on indyplanet ;)

[Xalnop]

@DyslexicGecko You can also check out his raocow.com as he has a commission thingamajig where you could commission arts of all sorts

[mikecmtong]

1:57 "goinna add another layer here"

LAYER 2???????? lol

[Zettimation]

you should teach art lessons on youtube :D

[CharliesPerks]

I figure that your time to waste was well spent (:

[camtheman3245]

You're such an excellent artist Raocow (;^^)d

[CVRipley]

I dont draw or paint but i ocasionaly use photoshop for some random things. Its nice to learn a few new things once and a while. I liked this video.

[ciki88]

omg dude this is actually good, i started to think this is somekind of parody or something, but thumbs up !

[Metalkatt]

That's just amazing. I couldn't do all that in a year; I work with words, not pictures. And informative, too.

[blackstarseed]

Thanks for the unintentional American Thanksgiving bonus. Your inadvertent timing is awesome. As always.

[GlitcherPwnsAll]

I would buy that for a poster

[NarutoFreakXX]

Raocow can do this and I can barely draw in paint with a mouse.

[lordofnightmares]

I would love to see more of these sorts of vids. Maybe not all the time, but often enough. If this is what it takes to keep you filling your sketchbook and "getting these out", I am all for it and approve 100%.

[RedSimba88]

That was very inspiring, especially for doing all that in 14 minutes.

[reinux]

elaborate?

[intoxicated12gauge]

Do More Of This.

[guitaristdude0]

I wanna learn how to art and stuff =] well more of the drawing since I am in the art of music as my username says lol.

[MrKerplunkers]

Man what you call a bad sketch that you did in 14 minutes is something I would be proud of myself for doing in like 2 hours.

[Slntpsych]

Actually a lot of your advice relates to music too. You're so wise Raocow.

[MenloMarseilles]

Whoa, I had no idea Demo was a cyclops.

You learn something new every day, I guess :O

[FasterThanLightX]

Raocow = Bob ross of youtube

[DaVince21]

@FasterThanLightX Not until he mentions happy little trees and tells stories about his pet squirrel, he isn't!

[1a2b3c4d5e2427]

Oh man! Leonardo da Raocow in the works. I wouldn't mind more of these at all.

[Abgen18]

This was a joy to watch, Raocow. ^_^ If you ever find yourself with another fifteen minutes please don't hesitate to sketch a little something. What you may jokingly call a "bad drawing" could be inspiration to another to create art of their own.

If you ever decide to sell small prints, I will gladly set aside a frame for Demo. :)

[randoguy101]

I was half expecting you to talk about your life since the tag video but oh well

[EmperorZ19]

That lump of dirt in the lower right corner.

It is the best lump of dirt in a lower right corner I've ever seen in my entire life

[Riceboy569]

I believe this is the first time I'm watching raocow the artist, and I likes it.

I've been reading ATXS, and I've always really liked the style - it's very interesting to see it at work for the first time. I admire the attitude of "just getting it out there", and that it shows in the sketchy style you've got.

...And I must agree that random shapes tend to taste like crabs. Especially crab-shaped crabs. Hm.

Happy thanksgiving!

[UltimaShadow7]

Demo is like the Mona Lisa, her eye always follows you!

[sonicandamy]

hey raocow, long time viewer first time commenter. im a power hour photoshoper and i gota say... DUDE crap on them, what your doing here is great. Us photoshopers are like hackers, but this is art and more importantly its yours, your a real artist.

[Xanit]

@sonicandamy HEY BRO

I think the word you're looking for is "you're."

"Your" is a word that indicates the possession of an object to whoever "you" is.

"You're" is a contraction for "you are."

For instance, "Your a real artist" makes no sense, but "You're a real artist" means "you are a real artist."

I hope I cleared this up for you.

[sonicandamy]

@Xanit nope, im looking for your, but ty anyways.

[DaVince21]

@Xanit I wonder if you're someone who goes around hunting down posts of people using that common grammar mistake and telling them how it works. Actually, that's a good theme for a parody superhero or something.

To make it sound a bit less douchey, you could at the very least say what Strong Bad sings: If you want to be possessive, it's just ITS; but if it's supposed to be a contraction then it's IT'S.

Scalawag.

[Xanit]

@DaVince21 Oh goodness, I've actually done that one, but I tend to get bad responses. No one gets the reference.

Then again, I ALWAYS get bad responses, no matter that I'm legitimately trying to be helpful.

Anyway, it's not that I hunt down this specific mistake, it's that it happens so often and I find it so glaring a mistake that it's what I tend to focus on when I correct mistakes.

[DaVince21]

@Xanit Alright, fair enough. But it happens so often, you're better off ignoring it. Unless it's a misspelling in the video itself, then it'll just help the author of the video.

[lazercatFTW]

which program is this looks great

[davem314]

@lazercatFTW Photoshop

[harmonicahiccups]

@davem314 Do you use Photoshop? This looks nothing like it.

[davem314]

@harmonicahiccups Yes I use the newest version of PS, and this looks exactly like it.

[harmonicahiccups]

@davem314 Wow, it's certainly...changed.

[davem314]

@harmonicahiccups That's what I thought when I compared an older version to this one!

[SkateShaman]

what program?

[davem314]

@SkateShaman Photoshop

[ChaoticFox9900]

What kind of software did you use for this?

[davem314]

@ChaoticFox9900 Photoshop

[CelicetheGreat]

raocow is a sexy scholar

[BooCwis]

"Art" is now a verb.

[swiftdasher]

Dude, more of this would be awesome.

[payableondeath7]

Dear Raocow,

Please do more stuff like this. Not necessarily "often" but just every once in a while. It was quite informative and entertaining (informertaining?). Hope you had a pleasant day.

[snowyarticuno]

seeing you speed paint would be interesting

[arcnova]

very nice raocow, also hope oyu had a good thanksgiving

[armegeddis]

@arcnova ...he's not in America...>.>

[arcnova]

@armegeddis LOL wow im dumb, hes french canadian living in quebec or around there, why the hell would he celebrate thanksgiving

[jokemasterslifer]

Demo is cute in a weird way. And bad drawing? The fuck are you talking about? Well the floor could've used some work but whatever.

[Murkglow]

Just wanted to say I enjoyed watching that Raocow and if you ever feel like doing more I would enjoy seeing them.

[InspectorGadget923]

Congrats on coloring inside the lines, better then I can do.

[arceus121121]

raocow, you are awesome.

[nightwing45304]

Demos so CUTE!!!!!!! if you made dolls Raocow I'd buy one.

[KadjRD]

Okay, that was cool and believe it or not I really needed to hear some of the tips you had, Raocow. Any chance of you doing things like this more, perhaps under the pretense of being a LP of Photoshop Elements?

[SuperGolemio]

I really expected Raocow to start talking like Bob Ross at some points.

[Morag0]

Awesome Raocow ^^

[braedrums]

Pablo Raocowso?

[Morag0]

@Fairyslash He is from Quebec

[Murkglow]

@Fairyslash

Secretly?  Hahahaha

[pixisticks]

What you said is so true. As both a writer and a model, I've waded through countless amounts of both bad and mediocre stories and photos. But it's totally worth it for the one or two masterpieces that come out. ♥ And I like it! I'm jealous of artists :(

[HallowVortex]

Demo still scares me...

[adio0205]

You're the next John Connor!

[aiefo7]

your REALLY talented

[xZaCloudx]

I actually really like the drawing. Not just saying that cuz of being a fan; I just tend to really like sketches for some reason. Sometimes I prefer to leave my art as sketches instead of cleaning it up just cuz the sketch lines are so expressive.

Sometimes things look just fine when they're simple. :3

The best tip was that quote of yours, about getting bad drawings out of the way. It's a great new way to view the learning process. It's inspiring me to draw more already. :D

[VerteTea]

Horray on getting to watch extra stuff ! :3

[toysrmine37]

And this is a BAD drawing? I couldn't do that to save my life!

[GeatMaster]

this reminds me of watching The Joy of Painting... You should make it a regular feature!

[Softyiii]

please do more vids like this (:

[Slntpsych]

Just proof that Raocow can talk over anything and make it really super interesting.

[vyintl]

right, who is the prick that missed the like button?

[MFDelta]

@vyintl The REAL question here is, who are the 225 people who missed the "dislike" button?

[Mastermax345]

@MFDelta if you don't like it, don't watch it.

[MFDelta]

@Mastermax345 It was a joke :D

I enjoy everything raocow does. I just see the "x people missed the like button" thing too often.

[Mastermax345]

@MFDelta fair enough, sarcasm is lost on me over the internet :P

[RandomOuO]

She's the Protagonist, her hair is all crazy!

Ash.

Yugi.

Tsuna.

Inuyasha.

Jimmy Neutron.

ROFL.

[kirbyy]

demo!! awesome!

[ChipmunkiousD]

i think u mean exact?

[16smorford31785]

I just watched a guy draw for 14 minutes. And I loved every bit of it.

[mxmayhem]

whats this program?

[MiaTheFeline]

I think she's an awesome cyclops. She'd probably be a hit as a mascot for... random stuff, kinda like Hello Kitty but less cute-cute and more weird-cute. I'd definitely buy a backpack with her or one of her cyclops friends on it. XD

[Cythrin]

The tags for this video are awesome.

[KleinerKokiri]

Wasn't expecting this !

It's always a pleasant surprise to see new raocow stuff unrelated to hacks

[pnkslp67]

Even if you describe it as a 'bad drawing' this sketch has a lot of quality already. I guess everyone here agrees you should do this more often :)

And btw, he has probably mentioned it before somewhere, but does anyone know if raocow uses a Wacom tablet?

[berserk2112]

Hey Raocow what program is this i want to art via my compooper

[DisasterPiece0302]

Why is demo a cyclops, what was the reasoning for her to be one?

[MicahTheZombie]

What do you look like, raocow? I have this idea in my head and I'm curious if it's close.

[Airazor]

I never liked it when my art teacher told me not to use black. Saying it drew too much attention, blah blah. I did it all the time in her class, and in the end, she always loved my work. It's just how you use it, and if it fits the style as a whole. =3

[BonePizza]

Looks like I have a new background image!

[mountainmage]

You should do more videos like this! Or, more videos period!

[BlazingKatakiri]

I liked the "wth and accessories" folder

[Hazzard67]

Demo has one eye? lulwut?

[rosabellis]

oh man, are you gonna show us a video about how epically good you are at touhou?

[LegendarySock]

Hey, this was pretty neat.

[johnnyrosales1990]

what engine are u using to paint . cuz I wanna do that

[sockonmyfoot]

I want this image as my phone background!!!!!!

[TheWolfeking]

what is the art system u use? and do u use a tablet? hey just askin :3

[case39072]

@TheWolfeking I think he uses photoshop elements and does use a tablet.

[TheWolfeking]

@case39072 i wonder what type of tablet cuz im getting one for xmas btu i need to knwo what one o3o

[case39072]

@TheWolfeking I think it's a Wacom tablet, not sure what model though.

[suchducks]

haha. she is so windswept. i like your style and words, admire you and etc.

[ZeoXSwat]

What program do you use?

[PkGam]

I think this was excellent! As you said, it was kind of mis-shapen in a way... but in my opinion that gave it a lot of charatcer.

It was also entertaining as you were "explaining" how things came to be that looked odd at first like the spotlight.

What kind of brush (or where did you get it) did you use for the color layer effects though? I have grunge brushes in GIMP... but none that carves texture quite as fine-grained and sharp like that one.

[looserslam]

So who is this "Demo" character? I see her a lot on your website.

[taro4012]

@looserslam the protagonist of his romhack, and a prominent character in his story

[PkGam]

@looserslam She is the character raocow created for his Mario hack: "What The Hell"... Then Demo was put in "A Super Mario Thing".

[AnimeRules996]

@PkGam

I believe ASMT came first, then raocow wanted to do his own thing with his sprite that he made.

[PkGam]

@AnimeRules996 Oh I see. So, I guess I got toe timeline mixed up then.

[RolandoMorreu]

You need to work a lot more on the basics. I know you've "been there", as I saw your portfolio, but you need to draw a lot more from life and observation.

The good part is that you know you suck ("i dont know art.psd"). The next step is to work on improving. You have everything to get good at a very fast pace if you dedicate a few hours each day to drawing practice (which doesn't equal random scribbling).

[DamnTwisted]

Do you do this my mouse or a pad?

[Saestrol]

This beats the ever-living hell out of many other drawing videos that usually have Anime music playing in the background. Unique.

[JonathanWolfe038]

Isn't it hilarious how we are all as entertained watching you draw something as we are watching you play something? It makes you realize, it isn't the content, it's the person doing it. *nods* Raocow, you are inspirational.

[yeah568]

Whoa, raocow's computer i all in French. It sucks that I can't read French. >.>

[Waytv40]

"...Because this is a bad drawing"

So I guess that this picture is a demo?
