You could you should do Sonic the hedgehog next
This is perhaps the best tutorial I’ve ever seen. Easy to follow, very in depth, and fantastic results. Kudos! Great video!
Really enjoyed your video! Super informative and well made! I think you could pull back on the sound effects a bit though, they were a distracting, to me atleast.
woah, incredibly well crafted vid – i love your style, looking forward to seeing more!!
this is so good, why doesnt this have more likes? the only criticism i have is that the wooshy sound effects are a bit much
Really good video! Only complaint is there are WAY too many sound effects. They got really distracting pretty fast into the video.
One thing to keep in mind for the humans is that other artists are brought on to illustrate the key art for characters, e.g. Yusuke Ohmura for Gens 5, 6 and a few from SwSh; and the illustrator Take for the Aether Foundation, Galar Gym Leaders, PLA's Adaman & Irida, and SV's Perrin.
So you can change up your style a bit from time to time if you want to! But the coloring should still remain somewhat consistent ig
I heard you loud and clear: The SFX will be toned way down for the next video. No need to worry!
epic
As an aspiring artist, i'm practicing a handful of existing artstyles in order to make (hopefully dope haha) fan art and find my own style in the future. Some of the styles i have chosen to take inspiration from, are the ones you have covered on this channel so far, so this was really helpful! It's really well done and explained what you have made, so thanks!
Good luck on making your future videos!
Woah that's really cool!! Thanks
This is exactly the type of channel I was looking for, hope to see more soon. Any plans to take on the various art styles used in Fire Emblem? (Kozaki, Hidari)
Wait, I thought you're gonna make the WarioWare art style, but you didn't! You did Pokemon!
I was just thinking about you, good to see a second upload!
this video is like, staggeringly high quality and so useful. thank you and great job 🙂
That old school anime filter is something I have always wanted to try. Also I want a gryphon Pokemon.
Kirby art style challenge?
This was really good! The only anime styles I can replicate decently is PASWG and maybe the Sonic OVA, probably cause it takes on more of a western inspired style.
If you could go over how to do Ren and Stimpy or The Thief and the Cobbler's styles, that'd be neat, as I'm trying to replicate those accurately right now, but it isn't always consistently good imo.
Could you please do a break down of Ryan Ottley’s Spider-Man art style or the Legends of Zelda.
Aaah, I want that fakemon! 😢
This is way too well produced to just have a few thousand views!
YAAAY, new video!!!
This is INSANELY good. I hope it blows up like the mario one so we get more of these for other games/anime! Absolutely incredible
My art style largely mirrors the pokemon art style, and a lot of stuff in this video helped me fix what I thought was lacking in my own unique style, thank you!
The quality of this vid is off the charts!!
This is the first art tutorial i've watched on youtube where I felt I actually learned something, and I've watched a lot!
could you do tutorial on persona Q/tactica artstyle or zelda windwaker artstyle?
HES BACK!
these videos are wonderfully insightful and i can't wait to see more! my request for a future video would be the Yu-Gi-Oh art style!
not only does that style vary between the anime, cards, and promo artwork, it also varies wildly in just the anime itself. turns out they would alternate animation studios and directors for every episode so they could produce them faster, and the differences can get… hilariously jarring? i especially want to see your take on kazunori takahashi's animation work specifically, i'd consider that the "ideal" Yu-Gi-Oh style, but it would probably take a while to explain all the subtleties of how the faces/limbs/hands look. but i'm excited to see if you can tackle it!
(also, this may just be me, but would you consider slightly slowing down the pace of these videos? i want to take in all this useful info, but i often find my brain struggling to catch up with the snappy editing! just a half-second of pause between statements would make a big difference!)
You gotta do sonic next . Love ur vids🙏
sonic art style pls
This was a lot of fun as well, I definitely think the CRT details could come in handy for some art. Also, if you wanna do more cartoon artstyles, maybe the artstyles of Friz Frieling, Chuck Jones and Tex Avery? 3 of the core directors of Looney Tunes' classic shorts
Omg! This video came in just in time! This is so awesome!!
I’m gonna use this!
Maybe as a suggestion, how about Zelda or starfox, maybe even sonic or Soulcalibur. But you are awesome! Keep up the great work! You earned a sub! 🎉
Hello can anyone help me here whats a good brush on ibis paint that can emulate the modern linework
this feels like watching johnny test
pokemons
ty!
Please do an art breakdown of Osamu Tezuka!
good video, i like that you explained what techniques were used, why they were used, and how to replicate them, i think a lot of tutorials just forget to do that
imo you talk very fast though, it wasn't difficult to keep up but it did feel very rushed
My favorite art style is the one from the manga
I hope we can get a video on the My Singing Monsters Artstyle.
einlee
I know you’re sister she is my teacher
This was way cool, fellow artist. I can't wait until you tackle all the art styles of the Smash Bros. franchises. Instant sub.
I enjoyed how quick this video is but I was still able to understand it! And even though I knew most of the rules, I still felt like I learned a lot of new things!
