  • Aaron Blaise gives us a tour of his super efficient art studio. This small room is where he does his giant charcoal animal portraits, youtube livestreams, and makes his animation courses. In this vlog you’ll get to see some more of Aaron’s drawings, the animation desk he bought from Disney, his impressive collection of animal skulls, and his digital drawing setup.

    • @willheydecker6179
      @willheydecker6179 Před 4 lety +17

      More than anything else, confident straight lines come from deliberately trained muscle memory - e.g. an exercise you can do is draw two points, “ghost” the line a few times before you mark the paper, then connect them in one purposeful stroke. I would recommend reading Scott Robertson’s How to Draw or if you don’t want to shell out the money, check out Moderndayjames and his perspective basics vids. Good luck!

  • @ScotCampbellwindowpainter

    Thanks Proko for doing this interview and the studio tour. I love Aaron Blaise. I am taking his character design course right now, it's amazing. I painted window splashes/ storefront signs for the past 42 years. My splashes have a heavy character design influence so I am always trying to improve my skills in that arena. Although I recently retired from commercial work I still teach on youtube and do a weekly video on how to paint characters for window paintings. I really enjoy it and I have about 1000 videos on the subject on my channel. I am turning 64 soon but feel like I am just really getting into drawing! ha! I can never learn enough. I have watched dozens of your videos as well, so informative and entertaining.

In every video, his studio always looks so clean (if cluttered). And assuming charcoal dust does get everywhere, what does he clean with? I have a lot of white surfaces in my studio and it's hard to get off of them.
