[robby07darkangel]

expertvillage teaches us everything, BUT they didn't teach us how to dougie, they didn't right?

[ShadowVampireDragon]

damn i regret not continuing studying in my old old school :/

[MetheInventor]

Is it me or does the veins on his hand spell Max?

[Jupiter191]

I hate always having great images in my head but not having the ability to reproduce them effectively on paper.

[livyluhu]

@dillong1997 its cartooning, not realistic

[ipods36]

drawing and taekwando classes i have no time to myself and school

[XiloveKoRnX]

@niltomega

Anyone can draw. Don't beat yourself up. Can you put a pencil to paper to make lines? If so, you're already drawing. The answer is practice. And lots of it. People improve at different speeds, it's all up to the individual. Every artist starts somewhere. Do you think the artist in this video was just "born" with the ability to draw like that? No. He took time and dedication for shaping his abilities by practicing and experimenting. Don't give up! You can still do it!

[niltomega]

@XiloveKoRnX Thanks for the encouragement. I actually play piano pretty well so I do know what practice is.

I think I'll save the drawing for my older years when I'll have more time to hone it.

[pokefriend123]

thanks i love your videos and people are always the hardest to draw for me, but thanks! with a bit more practice i could draw as good as you

[KeshnerfFilms]

Sketching is not genetic. If a human can create it, a human can master it.

[TheMissAlexiz]

@niltomega I think you just need a LOT of practice..Dont let yourself get discouraged and give up =) Beginnings are always the most hard periods..

[fishbones23]

@niltomega same. I think you're right, born with talent. I wasn't :S

[KriegerGeist117]

@Ncutieface that's right, im the devil incarnate. bow down to my glory and kiss my feet. Oh, and get a proper education, you type like a dyslexic retard with down syndrome.

[apcesarr]

the title should be.. "how to draw cartoons"

[MrRomero00]

there is no real tutorial to drawing,really the only way to teach someone to draw is to have them draw.and draw and draw and draw.there are certain aspects like preportions and foreshadowing and shading that you need to know but other than that its all about putting in work and actually drawing.looking for the one video that will show your the secret to drawing is futile.the only secret is to keeeeeep drawing.my experience..

[blue122198]

wow....

LEFT- HANDED :D

[KriegerGeist117]

@bibix3ify See, that's how i know that you're a coon. You can't spell, you're grammar is horrible, and you can't even put together a decent comeback. Please, just go kill yourself. The world will be much better off without you, I promise :D.

[bibix3ify]

@KriegerGeist117 just shut up already your fucking annoying

[vaasii]

ur voice is so calming

[T2Master01]

There is nothing in this video about HOW to sketch anything. If anything this is an inspirational video to already novice artists.

[elaztecapecador]

I bet this guy could draw his own porn.

[SapporoMagokoro]

I draw my highschool teachers sucking each others dicks

[BTNH108464]

[CooperSnow]

Drawing and talking, fail. I paid for a course of this once, what a waste.

[karakoisisa]

[73samuelstig73]

[HUNrobar]

Hey! I'm also left-handed and I have exactly the same pencils! :D (Faber-Castell)

[Rinque43]

the anatomy is terrible |:

[Rinque43]

I CAN'T STAND THAT HE'S A LEFTY.

[shadowstar2012]

@Rinque43, deal with it, or don't watch. That simple.

[MissMousey42]

@Rinque43 what's wrong with lefties?

[TheAnimeKid19]

@Rinque43 something wrong with leftys huh?

[TreezLuv2Draw]

i love how everyone hates on this guy.. what did he ever do wrong? he is just trying to help people who suck at drawing, go hate on someone else..

[mrkennedy007]

WHAT PEN/PENCIL ARE U USING

[0oDaFUZZo0]

i suck at drawing

[PaulTodinoSB]

y does he call the guy a character?

[elmaster1984]

I hate this pencil... the grip melt on my fingers...

[AurimaxII]

As i can see, there is quite many artists on YouTube who is left-hended.

[nosrunnerxd]

*this is gonna sound nerdy* when you use your left hand, its the right side of your brain which controls your art and imagination, so most left handed people ar naturally better artist

[pinkbuttafli0000]

not tryin be mean but if u stare at his hand 4 a long time it starts to look creppie!!

[TheSvartdemon]

JEEZ is normal hand its not fat or skinny, i think everyone should focus on the drawing. it has lil vanes popen out thats all.

[nosrunnerxd]

ikr

[bunkcix]

hello..i like ur imagination and your charicature idea but i advise u to improve ur observation and confident on sketches...tq

:)

(:

[wngyngw619]

u suck!

[1stimefilms]

this is so heard to do need to add more stuff to your vieo sorry

[Boris222222]

okei, i watched sevrel of these videos, and i just cant get used to that this guy is left handed!!!

[magicgenius231]

i typed in how to draw people but in stead i got this video full of bullshit!!

[ajnode]

I can judge, you're one of the people who praises shitty YouTube drawers because you don't know the difference between lack of skill and abundance in skill. Having said that, I don't personally give a fuck what you think and if you think I'm going to go out of my way to get a video camera set up and record myself drawing to impress some newfag off the net, you're deeply retarded.

[ajnode]

Well actually I've been an elective art student for over 4 years and have had a lifelong passion for art and drawing, so yes, I am better than him. Hes not good at drawing. You're one of the untalented people who I'm talking about.

[zippythewildone]

dude, it's just a cartoon. People usually don't draw as well when they are filming too, because they feel rushed it's kind of like stage fright but with a camera instead, and it's less conscious.

I'm not saying he's good at drawing I'm just saying you can't say he's bad at drawing when this is all you've seen.

[kymelo512]

lol im lefty

[ajnode]

Dude, you're not a very good drawer... The problem with YouTube is that people with no talent can make educational videos so even less talented people think you're amazing.

[OwzyB]

1. You make it sound like being a 'good drawer' is a definitive thing, when its not, its for people to decide.

2. This video is about teaching, not about showing off the drawers skill.

3. Clearly you're not a very developed artist or you would know these things.

And 4. I'll get my coat...

[ajnode]

1. I'm not saying its definitive but theres definately a threshhold you have to cross if you think you're a developed artist\drawer. One side is complete shit, the thick threshhold is the (still) shitty average drawers and the competant drawers are those in the smaller percentile range on the top.

2. Don't you think TEACHERS should be out of the BEST? If I want to be shit at something I'll be sure to learn off someone who doesn't know what they're talking about\lacks skill in the area.

[ipodguru22]

its not about "looking amazing", its about teaching people how to draw.

[WFgrayflare]

I have difficulty drawing baby faces, until now, it's still hard.

How sad for my brother, he used to be left handed. But my grandmother kept beating his left hand until he did things with his right. Oh, how I hate those stupid myths about being "correct and proper". Hmph... she did this because her brothers locked her in the bathroom for hours. I guess everything changes when you hold thw whip.

[wamzlam]

he is a lefty

[diaaly]

he must change his pencil lifting cuz we can rarely see when he draw the details..

[Mustamaggara]

It's funny to notice when you watch these how to draw -videos from differend people that a great part of them is left-handed. Maybe it's true lefties are more artistic than right-handed.

[TTCP93]

wow thats really good. your amazing. did you go to school for that?

[lost4dead]

....not much on teaching....but alot on talking and drawing.....

[vanessa5240228]

@lost4dead hes not suppose to teach he's giving u tips sherlock

[fromstart2finish]

@vanessa5240228

Uuh whats the difference?

[vanessa5240228]

@fromstart2finish sorry my idiot sister was on my account. she has anger problems her youtube alflower2200 message her,

[3lit3gn0m3]

@lost4dead what do you mean, not much on teaching? do you not learn anything unless you're given a textbook to study?

"uhm, ok guys, you make a straight line here, and then a curved line. make sure they connect, and put an eye EXACTLY. there is only one way to draw a human, so pay attention!"

is that what you were expecting? That's a serious question.

[Epiphone0927]

@lost4dead notice it says tips not tutorial

[mitchellews]

pretty good drawing i like the way you express and exxagerate th drawing btw im also left handed =D

[qiput]

all of the expert village videos i've seen are just them doing it and not teaching or explaining..

[bonzelite]

LOL ahahahahahahaaa yes

[3lit3gn0m3]

@qiput so your visual learning abilities don't work? the tips given in this video is exactly what drawing is about. if you're good enough that this doesn't help you, then you wouldn't be watching this for advice in the first place.

if you don't draw much, and complain that video's don't have enough 'information', then my suggestion for you, is to stop whining, pick up a pencil and paper, and draw circles until you WANT to draw something else.

[pntballer310]

lOl...where u buy it at its prolly th pencils skills not his lOl jk

[turdboyproductions]

so many of the artists on expert village are left handed! its awesome

[ChickenChowMeng]

[jabber243]

[salcal522]

That's truly amazing. Possessing such talent atstonishing.

[castudo]

[Aikel123]

SO PRO AND ALSO LEFT HANDER

[marco1991pl]

Bush loL

[jahdns]

this helped me very much!! thanx for upload it

[ponchomago]

i love anime, i should say:...very profesional XD

[AnimeGuru69]

ok, seriously, take classes please. ur anatomy is not quite right. everything, when it comes to creating characters, starts from within. that means starting from a skeletal level

[dechetsdailybs]

And anime is so anatomically correct?

Geeze, its just a free youtube video.. O.o

[RuemeChan]

on some level yes. i'm saying that, as an animator, i have to love and admire the human and animal body, that's why i'm forced to take multiple anatomy so that i'd know where things should move.

[rkb12222]

dude, why then you gotta erase all those cross lines and shit

[RuemeChan]

what cross lines???

[JdoubleA2]

i know what you mean your talking about when u start off with an oval then a big corss on the face then u have to build the face on the crosses just trust me i only used corsses 2 times and then i just freestyled when you become truly pro at drawing you dont need crosses

[cuteambros15]

cool

[four48]

awesome i really like it .....

[XaldBalghostriped]

now this is a professional!

[southpunk50]

it is perfesional

[crazyweirdo5000]

very professional
