  • I've won many awards for my artwork so here's a little advice if you want to learn how to draw. He is pretty good at drawing cartoonish things but not realistic. NEVER EVER and I repeat NEVER EVER begin a drawing with dark, harsh lines and do not shade in the darkest areas first unless the overall tone is medium. Big artistic no no. Also this is not a still life, it's a landscape, technically. A still life is a set up that is physically in front of you like a bowl and an apple or something

  • Thank you gentlman, you are a very good teacher

  • Everyone draws differently, learns differently. I don't see why so many people are negatively criticizing this artist.

  • @910rdors yeah i agree. im only 17 and even i know better than to start by harshly outlining shit. my art teacher practically drills that into us "NOTHING IN NATURE HAS AN OUTLINE!!! NOTHING!!!!!!!" thats seriously how he starts every still life assignment lol. also u say uve won art awards? great could ya give me some advice then?

  • he is the most handsome artist I've ever seen.

  • Can the people from so-called "Expert" Village stop making videos? Please? You don't need several hundred cumulative dislikes to know you're all a bunch of posers trying to sound smart, and making a tutorial is not a degree. So just stop and free some bandwidth. Thanks
