9:59 is my best art tip! pay attention to this when creating backgrounds! what's your fav timestamp?
4:20 or 6:09
I feel threatened
my favorite timestamp is when you go plhpbl on 0:18
0:18
Is obviously the best tip đ
6:22 Did you just call women OBJECTS!
for dumb dumb reasons this is a joke đ
*Sees my art on the thumbnail*
Yup i'm in danger
Hehe
*danger*
Yeah I noticed you in the intro art while he was scrolling
Prepare thoust baby buns for a thrashing
yes your targeted once again
Yikes
Other artists: Get out of your comfort zone
Ethan Becker: DON'T YOU EV-
Every Ethan lesson ever
Revolutionary
He does admit to leave comfort zone when experimenting new things to change art style, just after mastering foundation and finding comfort zone
@@artloveranimation Can't leave comfort zone if never made a comfort zone-
DON'T LEAVE IT! EVER!
First video - "I've been working in the animation industry for 5+ years"
Second last video - "I've been working in the animation industry for 25+ years"
Latest video - "I've been working in animation industry for 5+ years"
It's evolving, just backwards.
I mean theyâre technically all correct statements relating to each other
I see lots of big shot artists commenting on Ethans video, but I wasn't expecting Poppy
@@SamDigiDraws my name is poopy đ„Čđ„Čđ„Č
Right?
I mean 5+ years and 25+ years is the same
ethan always changes how many years he's in animation
Omfg how did I not notice
What lol
Lol
@@Caspianm2 We weâre too busy focusing on his teachings
Yup
What I've consistently learned from Ethan's Videos:
1.) I'm a baby, with a baby brain who has an inclination towards crayons.
2.) I shouldn't do anything. EVER.
3.)Ethan's years in the animation industry are a variable that break the laws of physics.
4.) That I will drop anything I'm doing to watch this man's latest upload.
gosh I guess I am not the only one
The fact that this is all trueđ
Ethan would be the guy who stands outside your house holding a huge Speaker if he sees you used squares and ovals
The first time I watched Ethan becker some time back I felt very threatened, educated and arrou- entertained, It's been like this for almost 2 years now. Thank you for these 2 years of baby school, I'm no longer a lil baby
Ah yes, arrou-entertained
This responded to me
Arrou-?? H-how does that even happen?
You are never not a lil baby
sus
*Just don't draw, EVER!*
Hahaha
no wondr you didnt make it far in life or any art related hobbies at all. look what happened when you follow such an advice
@InitialSven cant car enough about what you say the world dosent revolve around than
@@livetochange974 idk whether or not that was irony but ok
@InitialSven nah, they're just going around being mean/saying nonsense stuff
GREAT VID - Sam Does Arts IS the best artist. And thanks for the shout out for my class MAN - also does Sinix know about this whole best friend thing? I have to check in with him before we're Facebook official
eyyy yo it's ethans bestfriend in the whole world!
Yup Sam is great, and so are you!
I love your channel
Love how every youtube-artist is casually checking in here
Can u give me ur channel plz
Agressive persona is back! I've never felt so threatened yet so loved
I just need to add that his outfit looks swag today
@@kiwifit620 He has good taste
Perfectly put, lmao
imagine being threaten by such soft sarcasm on a youtube video. couldnt be me
@@livetochange974 sucks to be you đ€Ą
Next video title: NEVER STAY IN YOUR COMFORT ZONE EVER!
Yes lol
I could have sworn he already made a video with that title
Never stay in your CURRENT comfort zone!
add an "EVER!" at the end
*Never thought I'd learn more about art aggressively*
Passion is addictive!

@@RickardLejonhjarta ahaha like that could ever happen on this childish channel and its community, just keep copying dead peoples quote for a living while i upgrade them by using yours
@@livetochange974 hun, they were just quoting something relevant to the topic.
Your relationship with the term âcopyingâ is clearly skewed.
Stop stalking the comments section and get a life- your responses to people have been pathetic and unnecessary.
Nvm, just some anime-fetish troll đ
It seems crazy to me that Ethan is so young. I feel like he's actually a 500 year old wizard artist disguised as an influencer.
It's called intuition.
He works different from most.
He uses his head and simplifies.
That's the key.
Most drown in practice instead.
Which is stupid.
Nobody:
Ethan: I v been professional artist in Animation Industry for a hunderd years now.
You missed the '+'.
So, Correct Me If My Interpretation Is Incorrect, But Basically:
Do What You Always Do, And When You Decide To Draw Something Else With Similar Properties, You Apply The Same Techniques To It(?)
Precisely
Good Summary But Why Are We Talking Like This?
@@raesnothome Itâs The Only Way
@Giannirey I'm glad I did, but the video is definitely still worth a watchđ€Ł
This is actually genius and it explains much more intuitively the idea behind âpractice, practice, practiceâ. When you practice the same stuff over and over you NOTICE what youâre doing wrong and fix it. If you draw stuff you enjoy over and over you WILL see improvement in your 100th even if you drew the exact same painting 100 times.
I will allways love how Ethan make his humor perfect
his humor is far from perfect but not bad either. no need to play favoritism and being a blind fanboy now
@@livetochange974 touch some grass

@@livetochange974 you just want attention of your artworks and they don't even look as good as your arrogance

"When in doubty one finger outy" "comfort zone - never leave home" = Best tips ever đ
Okay, but that WIDOFO tip has seriously changed the way I draw hands đ€Ł It makes it way easier to get more flowy/natural looking poses.
I feel this is more educational than simple tutorials. It shows improvements to real artists and explains why in the moment and its benefits. Instead of: you should do this, and that's it. Great vid there.
lately, I've been really busy with school shit and never had the time to do arts. Going through the internet, I feel obligated to become better at art, which I was good at, I feel overwhelmed when I think that I have to learn a lot of shit again as if I'm going back from the start. I didn't realize the importance of having a comfort zone as everyone around me always says that having a comfort zone won't make you better. I realize that leaving my comfort zone doesn't make me any better as well. And so I forgot to have fun when making art and shit. Thank you, man, for the good ass video, this solidifies my conclusion that I won't be able to learn shit if I don't enjoy the shit I'm doing. all this time, art becomes a duty, a task I need to do in order to keep up with everyone else. This really inspired me to start and continue making art.
I FEEL THIS COMMENT A LOT, especially now that there are a lot of young people who are very skilled and I just couldnât help but feel bad abt myself. This is why I deleted all my socials and focused on my own progress. I hope you become satisfied with your progress and comfort zone!!
I Feel The First Part Alot
recently dropped off of drawing lately even though it's been my outlet for years. always had a hard time finding a way to properly improve my personal work but the way you simplify progress and improvement make it so much more palatable and art seems far less intimidating because of how accessible you've made it!
Same, i havent been drawing for half a year now and i want to get back my progress
"Oh but i bet you think shovels are just for digging"
"Oh yeah like murder"
*sexy sax plays*
"...oh"
I thought about using it for hanging clothes đ
IM HERE I NEED THIS
I hope Ethan knows how much he's helping people by making his videos.
He does.
Almost two years ago i lost all drive and enjoyment from drawing and it's been an agonizing crawl to regain it. I'm not having fun yet but I'm trying. It also means relearning thirty five years of practice. You're the one teacher who gives me confidence to continue.
0:00 DON'T LEAVE YOUR COMFORT ZONEE!!
11:56 DON'T STAY IN THE CONFINES OF YOUR LITTLE WORLD!! YOU GOTTA GET OUT OF IT!!
Sir you are giving me more hope than any of my art teachers ever.
"dont leave your comfort zone"
Sir my comfort zone leaves me
Edit: I'd be drawing in me and my brother's room and my little cousin would come in criticize and insult my drawing and then proceed to stay in our room and give me anxiety whenever i try to draw when he's around
@â It's more about the annoyance of their presence and hearing them than not listening to them, maybe.
Pin him to the ground and write Baby on his face. Also Maybe Don't Do This.
Keep drawing bud! I believe you will become great!
Slap him and try to lock yourself in your room
just lock your door lol
My comfort zone is watching and learning from Ethan Becker's videosđȘđȘđȘ
Yessss, I stopped fighting against the manga style I started with and suddenly I was improving exponentially and getting work. And I've managed to translate that to clay sculpting? Idk man it feels in my comfort zone, lol
Startes crying watching this, I wish you were my teacher, these days I've literally been scrambling to learn digital painting but then you saying "stay in your comfort zone" and that's like something I've wanted to hear so I'll definitely be checking out your classes, thank youđđœââïž
I was binging all his videos his timing omg
The best thing is an upload while binging an extra vid on the watching list
idk maybe start fkn practicing art instead of being lazy and watching videos all day because that proved to never work
@@livetochange974 Practice instead of watching videos hello? Watching the videos shows the right way of practicing and breaking down things.You can't just jump in and practice when you don't know where to start.TBH l wasn't learning anything from practicing because l didn't know what l was doing till l got some tips from some good artist here
Yeah, I'm really new to art and Ethans vids have helped me immensely
@@livetochange974 I'm pretty sure you're not the real SkellyAart LMAO
I have the hardest time stepping outside of my comfort zone when it comes to art. It's become a real problem ... I really need to work on my confidence.
I found your channel like a week ago and Iâm obsessed. You make learning fun because of your personality and ways of joking. I must have watched about 20 videos by now and just wow. Thank you
Went to highschool with ergo Josh, crazy to see how far he's come.
Oki so THIS was the video I needed. I've gotta stop overthinking it, & draw what I enjoy drawing. Can learn from professionals as I go, but I need to have established a comfort zone as a home base in order to improve :3
This is really, really important and fits so well with the next illustration I'm trying to do haha. I spend so much time being inspired by so many different people and want to be flexible. Some days I wanna work on backgrounds, comics, illustrations, different styles; it's challenging, but it's something I enjoy. But I had to accept, after many years of trying to grow as an artist, I was and still am a beginner. With my last drawing, I tried to do it in a certain style and I want(ed) to do my next one in a different way. This video helped me realize that it was actually the wrong way to go about it and it's better to keep practicing and honing what I previously did so that I can get better and faster at it. Most importantly, it feels way more fun because I know I've drawn successfully in that style before, so I don't have to think about it so hard.
Honestly, it makes me question versatility in artwork altogether and whether it's overrated and it's just better to get better at practicing your one single style
The way you said how everything is connected made a lot of sense and was pretty eyeopening, so that's good.
i love the end critiquing/teaching on people's work they send in; it's really nice to see the common mistakes and how to fix them. thanks ethan!
Jokes aside, Iâm really glad this channel exists
I really like the specific recomendations or changes mixed in with the general ones for everyone. Even in someone else's work I feel like I learn from specific mistakes or whatnot.
Your standard videos are pretty good and make a lot of sense. The videos where you review other people's work that they've sent in are absolutely fantastic. I like this new way of doing it and I think you should experiment more with it. You seem to be able to offer even more constructive advice when you have something solid that you are looking at to base your talk off of.
Great stuff man ! It's so important to settle in your comfort zone. Wanting to do to much = stress and stress is THE creativity killer !
Amazing video as always! i would love to see more art reviews at the end of the videos, they are super helpful
ethan saved my life when it comes to art, this guy helped me with my art a lot holy shit
I love this manâs videos. Genuinely feel like I should be paying money to access this kind of information.
I think when you are just beginning in art you are pretty out of your comfort zone already but of course, you will naturally find things that you like to draw better than others or you seem to have a better grip on and at that point a comfort zone is already forming. I was about to comment that you should challenge yourself but then I remembered that I have been seriously practising art for several years now and looking back, I definitely unconsciously stayed within my comfort zone a lot when I first started out and I think that definitely gave me the confidence to actively start to improve later on through fx using references, watching tutorials and actually applying them, etc. All in all, this was a great video!
Your videos always come at just the right time. Itâs been about three months since Iâve been able to pick up a pen without breaking out into a cold sweat, so thank you for reminding me that fun is important too!
Ethan Becker: You know how you can use the shovel.
Justin Johnson: You betcha.
I need this "comfort zone" template printed to hang over my table, on my fridge and bathroom.... Because it's pretty awesome concept that can be used in every aspect of life.
I like the videos where you review people's art at the end as well as give tutorials. At the end of the day though I enjoy both the only tutorial videos and videos like this. There are a lot of helpful pointers and tips that have helped me improve.
This gave me so much confidence. Great video!
His videos are so harsh and true.I look forward to each upload
THESE VIDEOS ARE COMING IN CLUTCH
ive been very into art for many years but ive always struggled with figuring out how and what i want to do. and ive always been confused as to how to achieve any of my art goals but i feel that watching these videos have really helped put me in a different and healthier mindset for progressing my art and ive become more serious and motivated to learn and be the best artist i can be! đ
Ethans lessons aren't just some of the best ones I've heard ever, they're by FAR the most entertaining.
When he explains somthing he is Like
No but also yes
Ahmeds course made me understand form like a professional, i swear its like black magic!
i really needed this ethan tysm!!!
Man, I love your energy. Instant follow, thanks for sharing these gems.
Great informative video as always Ethan, the goofiness is really appreciated when tackling topics like this...cause woof it can be quite difficult to take in everything you learn/read.
I have been reading âFramed Inkâ by Marcos Mateu-Mestre today and he is talking about the exact same thing...but in a more abstract way.
Stuff about the comfort zone etc.
Anyway , itâs a must read for visual storytellers for a good reason.
Have a great day whoever read this.
Greetings from the Netherlands đđŸââïž
What is your skincare routine and makeup routine, sir? Your skin is FLAWLESS.
I know he teaches drawing. But this man is gorgeous. His hair is glossy, his eyes is beautifully blue and his skin is glowing. OMG. What is his secret?
Hi Ethan! I've wanted to thank you for your videos, especially this one. I'm probably not your target audience, since I'm just a hobby artist and doing art on the side for fun, while working another job. I've had times where I lost my joy in art and drawing because I've tried to force myself to draw lots of other stuff and not the things I've actually had fun at. Also I've always compared my others and was a bit obsessed with likes and the whole social media nonsense, but now I'm feeling more motivated because I'm just comparing my art to my own art and I'm trying to take it easy. So thank you very much for all of your hard work and the fun times your videos brought me. Have a nice day! :)
All my favorite artists being homies lately, so cool and wonderful to see
Another banger
I feel like this can be applied to pretty much everything.
Iâve been told to always leave my comfort zone and Iâve found that in the 2 years Iâve been out of it, I havenât improved as much or created as much as I did when I was in it. Sure my art has improved a ton when it comes to humans. But itâs only catching up 2 years later to my animal art and Iâm so rusty over creating finished pieces.
Thank you for your advice!!! Iâll be putting it to use
Yes! This format is awesome! It's decided Ethan. This is the way to go. More videos please thank you.
WOO NEW ETHAN UPLOAD!!
havenât watched it yet but Iâm sure itâs amazing as usual.
by the title I am going to assume you mean I should keep just drawing males with short hair wearing hoodies and tshirts from 3/4 views and never draw myself (Iâm a girl) because itâs out of my comfort zone. sounds good to me đ
Wow, I really needed this. Iâve been hella stressed over trying to learn as much as I can under a short period of time, Iâm just 13 but this video gave me inspiration to draw what I love, not draw just for the fact of getting better and honing my skills, thanks!
That last animation by jgil was really REALLY impressive, it was eye catching and sold me the story instantly, love what he did right there!
Your the only art CZcams I can learn the best from. Not only do you teach really useful things, your really funny and makes it entertaining
I love how he is isulting you but at the same time laughing at the insult HAHAHAH
"hi guys were gonna go-AND GIRLS,were gonna go..."
Wow! Tons of good stuff my brain is tingling with creative vibes! I was loving it then you dropped a FLCL reference. You just earned a sub! I enjoy this a lot.
Another incredible video. This is the concept I use with my music students. Love love love
So weâre not gonna talk abt the shovel thingđđ what even was that
Sinix: "I'm sure it's a wonderful course." 17:02
Wish you'd do more cinematic/composition talk, I can never wrap my head around how to set a scene and the way you explain like "lady framed by them cause they're fighting for her" "this needs to be more casual" "characters need to be closer cause there's lots of wasted space" etc and these brief comments were super useful.
YES YES YES the last bit where you go over everyones work literally blew my mind
Now I just need to know what I'm comfortable doing lol
I can't find your twitch. Can you link it description? Or can someone reply with the link?
3:07 WOOOOOW Damn dude, i needed to hear that so much! I feel dumb right now! The most common thing at least for me It's to get desperate and perfectionist with so much that i don't know and want to fix every single mistake, every session. Not knowing stuff and having to ignore things that i want to improve to focus in others and allowing myself to be bad sucks.
But now i'm learning this prioritization and the vulnerability that comes with it is crucial to grow fast. Trying to put every energy into every concept and dedicate loads is impossible cause you have limited energy, time and resources, and since you can't outsource your learning you need to leave some skills for future you to learn and try to learn others more important as fast as you can (Triage).
2:45 love how family and friends is outside of the comfort zone you know us so well
Love that outfit
Only 8 dislike?
People have learnt his humour.
I just want to say thank you
I had a really bad day at artschool and you`r video gave me new hope
i love when you talk of composition
I had a question, do you have any tips on how to balance art and mental health? I know a lot of artists (including myself) struggle with keeping motivation and the will when going through a tough time mentally so I was wondering if you have any personal experience with this and how you got through that. I love your video's so much and they really have helped me grow as an artist so thank you
I know I'm late and that you probably wanted Ethan to answer your question, but honestly, always put yourself and your well-being above everything else. Passions and hobbies, after all, are supposed to entertain you, please you, help you evolve and make time pass faster. You shouldn't feel like your passion is cutting off your time. If you don't feel motivated to keep moving, taking breaks helps. It's not illegal, I swear! Maybe your motivation will show up tomorrow. You just need some time, like everyone else on this planet.
And if it doesn't, it's not the end of the world. Perhaps it's just time to move on from drawing and find a different way of being happy. Or you just need some time alone. Whatever happens, stay loyal to yourself. Drawing can wait.
(hooo hooo, this is the cheesiest thing i have ever written. But its still true.)
So, what he actually means is : Never draw without references.
This helped me a lot with my currently art moment when I think I didnât evolved at all and almost every thing I draw looks like a teenager did
Yeah I've noticed that my art rapidly improves during the school year because I spend so much time just doodling whatever I want. When I try to work really hard at something with art I just get frustrated but just idley doodling had really helped me
For the love of god stop disliking videos Ethan is just trying to give advices
Gud
honestly thank you so much for this! i was starting to feel really self-conscious about drawing pretty anime boys most of the time, especially because some people asked me why i don't draw other things. i put so much pressure on myself to try and learn a bunch of other things at the same time and ultimately didn't improve at any of them. i'm going to stick to what i enjoy for now.
I can't stop smiling while watching your videos. Thanks, Ethan.
