he doesnt really talk shit about anybody.
he's an animator/cartoonist and all his vids are about taking complex shit and simplifying it towards animation.
his proko vid was funny and prokos response is pretty funny.

hes good at click bait.

can someone give me a tldr about this guy? i never watched any of his videos, what are they about? like is he trashing these artists or its a clickbait

[Anonymous No.4294898]

>>4294888
He isn't really trashing the artists, he usually praises them but points out some stuff that differentiates his domain (animation) vs theirs (illustration). For example in his Proko video he often talks about simplifying shadows so the form is easily visible, rather than using super detailed shading a draftsman like Proko would use. I still appreciate the tips and info he gives out in his videos, because it applies to what I'm learning, but man his whole persona and clickbait titles are starting to get on my nerves.

He's sort of right, you should always avoid shapes that don't suggest corners, because the ambiguity means nothing. Ovals are very good for being placeholders though.

Plenty of accomplished pro artists use sphere/oval construction. If it works for an artist, it works.

[Anonymous No.4295006]

>>4294786
The title is clickbait garbage but probably he is referring to a principle explained by Mattesi in his Force books.

Ellipses are symmetrical shapes, and Mattesi suggests using unbalanced shapes because they have a clearer direction.

If what I hear about him is correct, he probably has some sort of inner struggle having worked at studios, and yelling at other people for the same mistakes he has made is his way of coping.

He's probably been force-fed everything he's been talking about by other more experienced artists. He's basically a factory-made artist, made to copy and be like those who are better than him, and he doesn't want to feel that way and so makes these videos.

[Anonymous No.4300162]

>>4294888
His knowlege is not bad and he uses other artists work as a springboard to discuss certain things to improve in art. But he has an extremely obnoxious art persona and editing in his videos that make me can't stand the sight of the cunt.

If he cut it out with the stupid clickbait and edgy persona I'd personally watch his videos a lot more.

[Anonymous No.4300175]

>>4295574
I guarantee you would never question why someone only draws white people or vaguely easy asian people. Personally I think it's weird to ONLY draw black characters but if he has an affinity for dark skin tone characters who gives a fuck. It's better than only drawing white and east asian characters at least because the world is already inundated with that.

I've watched many of his videos recently, he always makes them click bait on purpose. It's actually to attempt to attract /ic/ crabs since they are the most in need of decent advice in drawing. He doesn't shit on the artist at all, he just points out trends he think will be useful to teach others by observing the alleged click bait artist in the thumbnail. Sometimes other artists make funny responses back in the same way he does. He is tongue in cheek during video intros then his sarcasm will let you know when it's over.

[Anonymous No.4302638]

>>4295206
This thread also just realize he makes a point almost every video that he was hired as an animator or story board artist. He will mention the difference from animations, the point being to communicate clearly what is happening frame by frame vs an illustration. He also mentions using it as base helps you design wise till you wanna render, you have to actually draw out and plan the frames/character designs to be very easy to read and understand. While he always draws with reference, he makes a good point to build up your visual library solid and keep it refreshed. I like to swap between reference and no reference, if my head is unclear but I still want to work longer on a doodle I might check some ref to clear up what I'm missing about form. I've binged most of channel the last week and it's very calming to me to improve my foundation with goals of having a visual library I can doodle freely out of my brain from. Am I paid yet? No. Am a good artist? Not really. Do I think I'll stagnate and never improve? Hell no, I can visually see my progress as time passes learning more and more from successful people willingly to take the time to share how they complete their projects. This won't reach many crabs ears but I've lurked this board a long time and I want to help people realize art should be their improvement journey! Something tangible that they can feel develop overtime even if a day spent doing a shitty drawing gets de-motivating. I don't want people to give up so easily but still browse art wishing they could do stuff, even if it's not professional. It's a cathartic feeling having tangible improvement in your hands
