- Alright, I was expecting this video to be shorter but oh well. I wanted to go over the two basic things your going to be using in the underlying structure of your drawings. I hope people find this helpful and entertaining, even though it’s kind of long. Feel free to ask questions in the comments and happy drawing! (my apologies for the video quality at some parts.)

If you ever do that voice while we're in a call, i'm calling security
BetaEtaDelota holy shit my two favorite furry CZcamsrs
hey it 's beta! (I read this in your voice it makes this funnier somehow)
Im gonna call 911 cause my ears might explode.
XD
BetaEtaDelota AHH A FURRY... Jk love you furrys
"..if you want to make good looking art. Like me. And my ever expanding lineup of fluffy cringe monsters."
Buddy I'm one minute in, stop making me laugh so hard
The only furry i know that agree that furrys are cringe lol
I swear, your awkwardness is in no way detrimental to what you are teaching. Your humor adds class to what is, in essence, a relatively dry subject. Kinda endearing actually.
Melvin Shaw so agreed! I've been drawing for a couple months now from absolutely no skills and your videos stick with me more than any other channel's.
i think a good characteristic for someone trying to explain something is a little bit of humor or awkwardness it really humanizes them making them less imposing
True. I lgighled so much during this its just so sweet and genuine
It keeps my 5 second attention span at bay and encourages me to continue watching.
Totally agree, I love this guys stuff lol
I use a pencil, paper, and my ever growing sadness to draw
Same honestly.
Same, I wish I had some way to do it digitally, but on paper I suppose it does have it’s perks... One of them is that you can take it some places you can’t take a digital art program.
xX_dank_mlg_dragon_Xx your not alone ;-;
Omg same we have so much in common!
wow same
Holy shit, this actually opened my eyes a little bit on how I can go about drawing. Keep up your work man, you’re a really big help to beginners like me!
Lol I can relate
Actually this is very helpful for experienced imbeciles like me too 😅
i can totally agree, keep going man!
0:00 - 0:23 - WHAT THE EVER LOVING FRICK-FRACK WAS THAT?
Art
*GASPS* YOU COMMENTED DIRECTLY TO MY COMMENT. *fist-pumps*
SpeedpaintLover How else would he do it?
I just consider it an honour if the owner of the video responds DIRECTLY to you...
M. E. M. E.
Your tutorials and tips look incredibly helpful to people into drawing artwork. And your commentary during your videos are silly and entertaining. Keep it up! ^_^
I wish you were my art teacher..
P.S I handed in the wrong folder in art and my teacher saw my Furry Drawings... O.O (she gave me the weirdest look today when I walked in art class...)
HAHAHAHAHA! I'm sorry.
TaKuZz
I wish he was too
@@takuzz3861 That's gonna be a big oof from me, chief
I like using Microsoft Paint Pro sometimes.
ZzedeeZ I would recommend Krita or paint tool sai
It's my favorite program personally, as long as you update the software every February 30th
I like Microsoft Windows 3.1 paint program better.
Hey that is only exclusive to Crowne Prince!
Cewlai
The first time I read it, I thought it said Minecraft .
I think you're doing fine. I like your kind of comedy, it fits you. It gives your videos something more then just your average "How to draw" videos. Jazza can be awkward cringy sometimes and thousands of people like him. Point is just continue what you're doing, or don't it's up to you.
EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
ok but this was super helpful!! Sometimes I ignore the basics even after drawing (seriously) for 3ish years. So this is super helpful for everyone, and I'll probably share this video with a few people. (You know, the ones who scream HOW DO YOU DRAWWAEAWAA)
I agree with you, Thinking with shapes isn't really the best, thinking and drawing with solids is a lot better as you get a better idea of where and how the object interacts in the scene.
this was suggested to me off of the "i put hotdogs in people's pockets" video
lol
Hay dude as someone who is just starting to draw again and take it more seriously my girlfriend recommended your first “how to” video and it was really helpful and this one even more so.....I love your personality because it’s really relatable and your teaching is second to none both being helpful and entertaining.....so thank you for helping me out and probably others than me with this stuff.......I’m glad your my first teacher and hat my into to all of this is you........keep being the way you are and don’t change because it’s awesome and your awesome and your art is awesome
Thank you
Sincerely some random 16 year old wanna be artist
I'm also a 16yr old wannabe artist.
“Some random 16 year old wanna be artist” who is likely better than me.
I’m TOLD I’m fairly talented, but I’m like “HOW DO U NOT SEE THE MISTAKES??????”
14 yr old artist here lol
I’m a 10 yr old drawing wannabe and I’m terrible
Oh my god you're becoming my favourite channel dangerously quick
I just love watching artists draw in general but watching a (surprisingly useful and well said) tutorial filled with self loathing commentary? Now that's entertaining, at least to another worthless furry like myself.
So thanks man, I look forward to your next video!
Best page flip ever.
Videos like these are so helpful, and I can't thank you enough for another great video on drawing! When it comes to criticizing the video in a whole, you just sound nervous. I would imagine it gets worked out the more you do this, but besides that it great listening to ya and hearing your tips!
wow Asriel growth spurt au for avatar
lol nice
Imma turn my script page now
*Ahh~*
Also a furry artist and I just want to clarify one section of the video. Usually when someone tells you to break elements of your illustration down into shapes, the intent is to simplify the features from a composition perspective, so that your eye isn't distracted by all the details, and I think volume is one of those details. The book framed ink is pretty good for breaking down an illustration into it's compositional elements.
If you're trying to create 3 dimensional space I suggest starting with the basic shape and adding in the volume later through darks and lights. Though you yourself already seem like you have a pretty great handle on this whole art thing, I think 3D space and designing should both be compartmentalized in separate sections! It has to work as a design/ silhuoette first, and it is much easier to change when in two dimensions than once you've rendered values and lighting onto it. Though... I suppose knowing when something works as a silhuoette is a complex and nebulous thing in it's own right...
Sorry the only reason I comment is because I find thinking about three dimensional volume at the same time you're designing a character or a picture, a bit overloading. And I really do like to watch people improve! I hope I didn't step on any toes or walk all over your perspective on art with my own. xD
That voice acting though haha heyyyyy
Never mind I forgot lmaooo, deleted my comment. I'm an idiot. But yeah, it's spot-on 🤩
Fun fact: Pocari, even though the suiter is female, The soda roo is actually male, and was meant to be more tough but over time the personality changed to fit Pocari's suiter more
Update on this: Pocari has recently made Pocari's gender androgenous
In 30 minutes you taught me far more and far better than my art teacher last year did in a whole "year." Not only did you teach basic shapes, you taught how to *use* those shapes, and what *mindset* to use when doing so. In 10 minutes you taught me more perspective than my art teacher tried for 5 months, and with some humor to spice it up. Seriously, amazing job dude!
"At some point you're gonna get so small that it's just unnecessary to do it anymore and you've got a finished piece." That line made me feel like i could actually draw a masterpiece right here, right now, in my bed, at 3 in the morning. *That's* inspiration.
I just want to say, thank you for posting this. I'm 21 years old and in college planning on earning a bachelor's degree in fine arts and I'm still struggling with my drawing technique after 5 years of drawing. I hope this video will be helpful for me when I start drawing again.
"Think in volumes not 2d shapes"
My brain: *tries*
Also my brain: Wait this changes EVERYTHING
*successfully draws an arm where the forearm is facing the viewer.*
My brain: This makes perspective SO much easier
*draws the same arm but at a different angle*
My brain: If you can turn a cylinder and a box in your head then you can turn an arm in your head
*tries to shade the arm*
My brain: Ok that didn't go so well but if i can figure out how light falls on 3d shapes I'll be well on my way.
*looks at what i accomplished, not caring that it looks like complete garbo and realizes that I've been making art WAY harder than it needs to be*
*Brain proceeds to have a meltdown when it realizes that liking the video more than once just unlikes the video*
Edit: The tip you gave about drawing form your shoulder really helped too. I need to practice to get more precise at it, but I broke my chicken scratch habit because of it.
I made them 4D
3d light is a paon in the ass
light reflectd sime stiff dont reflect well light changes color depending on what it's bring reflected off
the best way to learn how light works ig is looking at something in harsh sun and then in various different places around your house of something or experimenting with a 3d program
or making likes from where the light source comes from and mostly ignoring light reflecting and changing colorswhich would be a pain in the ass to do and doenst really make sense unless you're going for something realistic most of the time it's fine to use dark purple or a different color that is just a colder and slightly darker for shadows and add another low opacity layer with the color of whatever main source around it and if you can you can use bloom in a few objects in a few scenarios like mirrors in sunlight neon signs bright phones in dark areas the sun as we can ser it is mostly a big ball of light so the most efficient way to draw a sun would be to just use the brush you use for bloom unless it's really close to you in which case you can draw spmething that more closely resembles an outline because in that scenario your eyes would try to adjust for the light and slso any camera snd that's something good to know if you look directly at a broght loght like if you were using the sun to burn stuff anything alroubd would look slightly darker by your eyes trying to adjust for the brighter light and cameras do that automatically as far as i know the most extreme example of this o can thing of is trying to record someonr trying to weld so vasically shadong lightning and how we react to light is a big pain to get right unless you want something that looks pretty realistic
why did i do this?
just fucking lighting is hard i need to get better at it i need to look at stuff outside more and it could hrlp if you practiced lightining because there are very few things to do to get better at lightning and shading besides understanding how light wotks
I've never drawn a base using volumes like this before and I feel like you've opened my eyes to a whole new world of possibilities with my art. Thank you!!
sammmeee!!!!
Lmaoo I just found your channel and I love it.
Wow. I've had so much trouble with drawing bodies but in the end, they're just combined three dimensional shapes. It makes it look a million times easier and I've been completely oblivious to it. Very helpful. 👍
THANK YOU SO MUCH! I've been looking for some good tutorials on composition for so long now, and this one is just too good! I love your way of teaching stuff, really, and your art style is really fluffing adorable!
I hope you continue posting videos! I enjoy watching all of them lol. Just found you not to long ago. You’re great. Keep it up my dude~
You don't sound like a loser, I love your commentaries and I'm 100% sure I'm not the only one u_u
Awesome video of very basic things that not many youtubers tackle as a beginner thing (not even some teachers tbh)! Thanks for making it
Well you just explained the true process of drawing with a trained eye. The gesture drawing part is where I had trouble understanding (like it's another language) and then there's a furry who explained the furry language of art. Thank you.
I was struggeling with sketches, so this video helped me a lot. And now I realized how much waterdrops and flowerparts are in my drawings XD Keep up drawing. You are amazing.
This is very satisfying to watch for some reason
love your content bro
Omg you're the best art teacher I've ever had. Unlike everyone else you are entertaining to keep me intrigued and the way you show us what to do makes it seem like a tangible goal to reach. I love your videos so much and can't wait to improve with what you teached me
i'm actually glad you mentioned perspective since i do have problems with it and my brain sometimes forgets that drawings are, infact, not orthographic
It's sad the only good drawing teacher I can find is a furry
Thanks?
Imaginatively Unimaginative You're welcome?

To this day this comment still confuses me...
Well you're really not looking.

Proko has some of the bet anatomy videos you're ever going to find, and he spends a lot of time making his videos very easy to digest and suitable for anyone of any skill level.

Bucci's _10 minutes to be a better painter_ series is possibly the most concise and impressive series of art tutorials I've ever come across. He packages complex and high level artist techniques and theories into easily understood videos.
czcams.com/channels/7mef0Kk06LrLx__lats9cA.htmlvideos
Mohrbacher has some really good technical tips for artists and has an amazing style.
Thats all just off the top of my head, there are literally thousands more on youtube. You just haven't looked.
Edit: Brushboost, formerly cubebrush I think. Their newer stuff is aimed at getting you to subscribe to their tutorial site (which would be an amazing resource if you can afford it.)
But his older videos still give a great introduction to fundamentals and process. And there's still a ton of free resources such as brushsets on his site.

Honestly, your art is stunning. I too often saw pictures I really like and they all had strongly colored (or no) outlines so I somehow thought I had to do the same. But you proved me that black/dark outlines can also look fantastic!
I draw for several years now but I'm kinda stuck since ~1-2 years. My outlines often just look wrong making the whole character looking not dynamic at all (more dead inside)
So if you are ever bored, I would love to have some more tips! (Especially at doing poses and not weird looking outlines (wait didn't you do that oh well))
Anyways, very interesting video and tips! Keep going!
I've been wanting to draw a lot more but I've been struggling with getting this whole concept to stick, but your explanation / demonstration was incredible! It makes so much sense now, thank you so much :D
*when I found this channel 3 years ago, I never would’ve found myself rewatching his older videos*
What a life I live in
(That’s a gud thing btw)
I didn't realize that was a 30 minute video so good job entertaining!
Thank you I've been trying to figure this out for years and you've done it in 30 minutes
Out of all the tutorials I've watched on yt yours are by far the funniest. It makes them also the most interesting and easy to follow. Cheers!
Thank you so much for making these videos! I absolutely love the way you go over everything. Your jokes are great man, I felt most of them as an "artist" myself (especially yelling at photoshop error messages.) Art classes in school tell you these things early on and most people seem to just ignore em, I'm glad you put this much time into highlighting WHY it's so important.
why am I here?
I draw cars and mechanical pieces for "living" ...
Mino Assal well mechanics can be furrys
Why is anyone here?
**Rick and Morty season 2 ending music plays**
vampire kink 1234 true I'm friends with a engineer who is a furry
friskey the fox
It seems like a ton of furries are engineers
please do another tutorial like this! or maybe even a series if you can. these are actually helpful vids! Thanks for the advice! Keep up the great work too!
This is by far the best tutorial I've seen on dynamic poses/drawing in general (And I've seen a lot!) I really like the method for drawing you use, it's REALLY helpful since my biggest struggle is getting the arms and legs to look normal with the rest of the body. Keep up the good work!
I love your art style and tutorials. As someone who does draw but not well, they really help. Thanks!
*The fragile masculinity*
That was the cherry on the top xD
26:55 And no xD
Every single word here is drawing gold :P
When I skipped you doing the blue and white wolf shapes you said "ppl are probably skipping the video" i was like "ya..." but it was perfect timing though X3
This is soooo helpful! an hour of art class everyday couldn't beat the amount of teaching I got out of this video.
I could never understand the sketches people start off with that are just shapes until this video
It's so simple, I just needed someone to guide me
*Fluffy cringe monsters*
My new way of saying furry to furrys when i dont want to say it
Hell Imma furry and this is pretty accurate
@Lauren O'Quinn lmao
*Fluffy Cool Animals*
Yup that’s us lol
Why do I love the freaking intro so much😂😂
because it's art.
@@ImaginativelyUnimaginative *Art is meant to be painful, right?*
Outside of your other videos, this is by far the most useful video on drawing I have ever seen. Even so, I would probably consider this the most helpful of the videos you've made.
As someone who has made tremendous progress over the past few years, in many ways as a result of your advice, thank you.
Man this is the single most helpful video I've watched in this topic ever, it just made something in my brain click, thank you
I’m already dying, and then 2:20 just finished me off. Cmon man XD
Lantti never before has my attention to a drawing tutorial been grabbed so quickly. Hell, Brittney and 10% off was enough to hook me 😂
The intro was pretty funny.
It's how you feel when you go to Starbucks! XD
I love your videos! They are very helpful for me, and you put things in a way that is easy to implement in a general way that promotes people to be unique. Keep up the good work, and I cannot wait for your next video.
THIS WAS SUCH A BIG HELP! ive never drawn anything really because i just didnt know how, thanks so much, and your art is AMAZING
“This is gunna go like 2 blind people trying to have sex.”
Basically me drawing before seeing this tutorial
This actually helped me so much, I'm even surprised.
This was so helpful! I actually used to only draw a circle with the perspective lines, and that was about all I did to make proportions (this is a point mentioned in your beginner tips video). From then on in the drawing, I'd just draw without really putting any thought into it. I've seen this video now, and your video was very simple and easy to follow along to. I managed to make a character look a lot more natural than in my previous drawings. All of your videos thus far have really helped me as a beginner artist who is inspired by good artists like you! Keep up the good work! ^-^
Ironically, I love your personality and you honestly seem like a chill person
the beginning of this video is funny as hell
Jerk, I was drinking water during the intro! XD
Despite the fact that I draw nothing but pastel-colored cartoon horses, this tutorial was VERY helpful for me! I don't know why, but the idea of breaking down drawings into basic 3D shapes never really occurred to me.
Imaginatively unimaginative your vids are honestly the most educational vids on proper drawing technique thank you for all the help
Pocari as a character is a male but the person inside the fursuit is a female
I believe Pocari is meant to be gender less or non-binary
The basic furry voice. plus the blind people joke was great
Honestly, watching you do the volumes was so relaxing. I'm trying to get anything to look okay to me. I draw a line in an empty space and I"m like this is wrong! and then I watch this and I for some reason relax seeing someone do such nice lines
Honestly the best video on this topic. I have multiple drawing books (and I mean textbook type things) and even they couldn’t help me as much as this video did, especially on perspective.
you should make a tutorial with heads. many people, including myself need help with drawing heads, like the ears, eyes, and muzzle placement with angles
My problem is I can't draw legs and necks. Like. The two things that are really important, is impossible
Thankkk you!! now i can draw decently good.
i have just started drawing and was looking for a good technique/buildup for drawings and this helped sooo much, i am goin to use your tips in probably almost all of my drawings, thank tou for teaching me more technique than 3 years of art class could ever hope to do
I've been in this fandom and drawing anthro animals for the last 2 years, but there was something i was missing and it was the action lines. so this really helped! This also helped me learn more about perspective and the importance of shapes!
first one if ur videos ive ever seen and i already love your stuff! Your Comedy is great, your tutorial is amazing, and your voice acting is... well... uhhhhh, well thats all i have to say. have a good day!
(ฅº￦ºฅ)
I love your videos, they have really helped me I’m art.😁
Sorry I meant “In my art”
Twins XD
Hello art
Hello art. I'm box of cox.
Hi art, I’m dad!
This was actually R E A L L Y damn helpful. I've always wanted to learn and whenever I tried I was always told "use spheres, cylinders, blah blah blah" but it was NEVER explained to me why or where they are placed, how they should be oriented, or any of that. THIS COVERS THAT and i'm tickled about it. Thank you!
This is the stuff I love! You tell us what we're doing, how to do it, and *why* it's important. Thank you so much!
"Britneyyyyyy"
Me: He knows * cue the ominous music *
What, 🅱️ecky?
Thanks this was the best video i could find on this topic(for me)
Tysm, I couldn't find any fun-ish videos explaing this. Now I finally understand how the hell to use these things and why I'm learning it
Wow, this was super helpful and educational. Also it was entertaining which is such a bonus! Great work!!
10% off is a good deal.
takes off 40 cents, making it only 4 dollars!!! HOLY SHIT I NEED TO GO SOMEWHENRE!!!! BYYYYEEEEEEE!! **runs to starbucks**
"Fluffy cringe monsters"
*I BEG TO DIFFER!*
This actually was super helpful to get me started into drawing. I've always been unmotivated to try due to how complex it always looked but by using this method, it all makes more sense to me, thanks a lot :)
I’ve been drawing for about 4 years now and I’m still learning and getting better till this day! This video helped a lot and Made my drawings better !!! Thanks 🙏
OMFG THIS DUDE IS THE FUKIN BEEEEST
“Murder is bad” Hank Green
These types of videos have greatly helped me improve my drawing skills...so thanks for making them
I love the little animations at the beginning of your videos!
The Intro:*throws phone out 12 story building*
The Video Starts:*jumps out window*
Unless your a normie… that’s cool
My eyes have been opened 0-0
Ok I could compliment this and how good a teacher you are all day.
Hey, putting yourself down is funny, but you’re really not a bad person! You taught me a ton! I just got a tablet for Christmas and I’ve been learning how to use it, and you really helped me!
"Long and straight"
Me: no. No. NO. STOP IT YOUR DIRTY MINDED DUMBASS.
(And I continued to hate myself for being dirty minded 😂)
#edit : dude
...
You're awesome.
I started a drawing at the beginning of the video, and I was likeing the sketch and then I tried to do the exact same sketch bit with more emotion and not make it look ratchet (also from a different prospective) and I was...
Just blown away. Just hearing you talk about all the shapes and stuff. 😂😂 I'm so glad I found your channel cuz I finally made a price of art that I actually like.
I colored it and boom. Awesome.
I even drew some clothes and I never done that before and it looks GREAT for my first time- in my opinion anyways 😂😂
Great video and I know it's old but still... Thanks.
Cya :P
this is actually kinda helpful but I gatta ask, does this also apply to traditional drawings?
anyways, keep up the good work and I hope you're having a great day/night. ✌
Yes, this applies to any and all drawing media.
I know this is going to be a long comment (on a video more than 2 years old) but I feel like this is something I have to say. It's people like you that keep people like me respecting the furry fandom. I myself am not a furry and I can't lie that I do cringe just a little when I find out someone I know is a furry. I don't immediately write them off however because of people like you. You have shown incredible self-awareness and understanding of the perception of the furry fandom and you have clearly embraced it. You have also taught me more about drawing AND given me more motivation to draw in this 30 minute video than many teachers do in a whole school year. I feel like this "Lines and Volumes" topic should be in every drawing class, especially beginners classes. If I were an art teacher I certainly would start with this. Anyway all I'm trying to say is I respect you and thank you for this fantastic video.
TLDR: This guy is a fantastic example of the good part of the furry fandom and he teaches art better than most high school art teachers.
Thank you so much! I'm completely new to drawing, never did it in my life and now starting it directly digital. Your videos helped me a lot
WhAt PrOgRaM dO yOu UsE tO dRaW???
jkjk, sorry 😂 really awesome vid man
