(I'm in high school) and I've always seen drawing as something so completely different from 3d animating and modeling. But you have shown me a new and more understandable way of the idea of drawing. <BR/><BR/>The way you explain it, I can relate so much to 3d and I can finally see how to "draw in perspective." <BR/><BR/>I'm very glad to have watched your lessons and they have probably been the most informative drawing techniques I have heard so far. You can do so much with them!<BR/><BR/>Anyway, thank you so much for making and sharing these great lessons and I can't wait for more! :D<BR/><BR/>Sincerely,<BR/>AaronAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35072411.post-23347650520652476032007-07-27T00:20:00.000-04:002007-07-27T00:20:00.000-04:00In these videos, you have been giving a perfect ex...In these videos, you have been giving a perfect example of what I consider to be the ultimate teaching method. That is... <BR/><BR/>If you teach someone a set of exact steps to go through when doing something, they may be able to do that thing, but once something is slightly different, or their situation calls for them to do something else, they will freeze up and go running off to find another step-by-step instruction. But if they are taught HOW TO THINK or HOW TO APPROACH THE PROCESS, then they will be able to do so much more, with so many less tools required. This is the primary reason that nobody seems to understand math, and why there is so much difficulty for most people trying to learn it. They are taught many many steps to do different things, but they are never taught to think for themselves.<BR/><BR/>In short, you explain why you do something, and how you approach it mentally. That is the key to really teaching something. If a student knows how to approach something mentally, they will be able to figure out how to do things on their own so much easier. It opens the gateway to future understanding.<BR/><BR/>Knowing how to do something means nothing if you don't know why it should be done that way.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35072411.post-22211843392545722322007-06-23T23:56:00.000-04:002007-06-23T23:56:00.000-04:00Domo Arigato.I just found your lessons by accident...Domo Arigato.<BR/><BR/>I just found your lessons by accident on youtube yesterday, it was late and I was kinda tired but still I managed to see the firts five.<BR/><BR/>I was just amazed about the way you explain things and make it look so simple, by this time I have readed a lot of books and tons of tutorias online, but non helped me as much as yours. <BR/><BR/>Studied lot of techniques, but most of them didn't work for me for some reason, and it was hard to correct things like proportions stuff, specially when drawing figures.<BR/><BR/>I didn't just want to say stuff like "Oh great tutorials, and very usefull" in my comments, because you deserve more than that.<BR/><BR/>So I want to thank you for the time and effort on doing this lessons, and most important, to share this kwnoledge with the world, because I have known a lot of artists that keep all their methods in extreme secret, just barking around their talent to get praised and feed their ego.<BR/><BR/>I haven't applied any of your techniques in my work yet, since I just finished watching them, but even so, I feel that things are going to be different.<BR/><BR/>I'm sending the link to your videos to every artist friend I have because I'm sure they can improve a lot with them.<BR/><BR/>Once again thank you.<BR/><BR/>One more thing, can I suggest you to make a drawing lesson were you teach how to put shapes in a sphere, and to atach other figures to spheres, that will help on drawing faces.<BR/><BR/>I do anime style, you know, big expresive eyes, and I still have a lot of problems positioning the eyes correctly,or moving the eye and looking to a certain direction.<BR/><BR/>The problems is that one eye squashes more than the other, I kinda do them by feeling but can't seem to get them how I want them to look, thats why I think a sphere lessons will be usefull.<BR/><BR/>Thats all I have to say for now, and thanks again.Ruakuuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13434752733547252718noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35072411.post-89902192392431490242007-06-21T03:32:00.000-04:002007-06-21T03:32:00.000-04:00Thank you for a wonderful alternative methodology ...Thank you for a wonderful alternative methodology on learning to drawing. Your concise yet enjoyable tutorials formed a missing link between the conventional teaching method and getting ideas.<BR/><BR/>I am also very encouraged by the fact you also are evolving in your own method.I do hope, however that you add back in at least some humor and rambling in your future tutorials.<BR/><BR/>Most Importantly, however, thank you for giving us these heap piles of shear awesomeness free of charge on the all-powerful internet ;)Torisukehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02997532904439714805noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35072411.post-68014405216365440482007-06-19T19:14:00.000-04:002007-06-19T19:14:00.000-04:00Thank you, you are really redefining the way you p...Thank you, you are really redefining the way you perceive your skills and the way you convey your knowledge to us.<BR/><BR/>It must be your new job, or the travels, but whatever it is, it has refreshed you.
