Hi Glider! Thank you for these videos. The "mistakes" videos were really excellent. They sort of felt like physical pinpricks stabbing me periodically, with a nagging voice saying "sound familiar? huh? this is you! this is what you do!". I think realizing the nature of the mistakes is really challenging for someone like me because they serve to remind just how high a mountain art fundamental mastery is. In all of my character pieces, I can see some sort of basic error: misapplied color theory, incorrect proportions, unappealing composition as a result of lack of cohesive vision, and these are important skills necessary for improvement. Unlearning bad habits is a tough pill to swallow!

What are some of your favourite art books? Particularly art instruction, but anything that comes to mind is okay.

I have Rendering in Pen and Ink by Guptil, and Pencil Drawing by him and liked the former a lot, haven't gone through the latter. I've found Loomis' books online since they're in the public domain now, but haven't gone through them. I have Scott Roberston's How to Draw and How to Render, which seem very popular, but I have only gone through the first one and honestly found some parts lacking explanation and thus being confusing (which also seems common despite the popularity). For what they are, they were sadly very expensive and the app integration was really gimmicky and dumb. Not lacking important topics, but not clear enough to convey them to the uninitiated. It was written by two people, and it kinda shows since some parts are better than others. Scott's videos seemed to be more approachable.

I just draw for fun, sometimes from imagination sometimes from observation.

I wasn't insinuating that your ability wasn't beyond basic art instruction books. I was interested in what you had used in the past when your ability was not what it is now. Naturally artists of all levels collect references, go to museums, sketch on location etc.

communication in japan is next to impossible at times, and has been a massive burden to me, but some girls are natural models even at this age (and some are completely hit and miss). i couldn't do this anywhere outside of japan tho

i haven't learnt much, and i'm terrible at applying what i learnt, but recently i learnt that a photographer should always be thinking about light (something you're fond of). where is the light in the room coming from and where is it striking? how can you manipulate, soften it, make it look natural, interesting, what mood you want for your image?

i'm a fan of america's next top model tv show, and learned from it that not all angles of the face are good on a model, you need to figure out what angle looks good on your model first of all. some beautiful girls look terrible from certain angles, where their diamond shape face suddenly becomes a giant square lol

i found this model photography vlog channel the other day, only watched 1 vid so far, she seemed interesting to listen to

sup ShoCkeyy, ye it's been a while. When did you show up on twitch? I barely use it.



thanks Ninazerg. Although I confess I'm gonna start using click bait titles for youtube! (is it really bait if I actually deliver what is in the title tho?) Cuz it's impossible to actually get view these days with the video above mine says 10 ways you'll live forever, and video below me says 4 things you are doing that is killing you.

The amount of views your videos get is so ridiculously below what your art should bring in...

I've been sharing your stuff for as long as you've been posting to TL.
