If you have watched one of my tutorials before, the first thing I do is introduce the character I'll be drawing and give a quick introduction of like 30s-1min. All of my tutorials are narrated and are speed drawings. To start off a drawing, I use guidelines and from there I add detail. The steps to finish a drawing are, 1) Guidelines (2) Drawing (3) Inking (optional) and (4) Shading/Coloring. In my tutorials, I try to break it down as best I can. Here is my latest video:
Subscribers: 1,451
Video Views: 324,526
Channel Views: 22,284
All of my videos get at least 1000+ views. My most viewed video has 48,455 views. I regularly post videos every 2 weeks.
My channel is basically about helping people, I want to help people as best as I can because when I first started out at a young age, I didn't really have any help from anyone. So now that I'm a bit older and mature, I want to be someone of an inspiration to beginners. And for other artists that I see and feel aren't getting the exposure that they deserve, I try to help them out as best I can.
I've had many different types of videos in my channel. I've had many competitions with other people, couple of collaborations, and one major contest. Competitions are where two or more people draw the same character and/or picture. Collaborations are where two people make a video to post on the other persons channel. This is a good way to get exposed to a different audience. And I hosted was Drawing Contest in October 2011. The outcome of the contest was shocking to me, there were 80 entries in only a month! The contest was a great success and I am glad I was able to host it. The two people who won are amazing artists and even today I still do the best I can to help them. The two winners are kesh4ares ( A realism beast) and Rebpierre ( A manga/anime god ) haha. These two people are truly inspiring. Two other youtube inspirations are polaara and vanguard204. These guys inspired me to start coloring with colored pencils, and I'm even having a competition with both of them in the a couple of weeks.
I am also helping to advocate A Visual Arts Catergory. This movement is by a man name Merril under an account named Kazanjianm. What we are all trying to do is get our OWN category for youtube. Usually us artists post our videos under "How to and Style" but that is buried under make-up tutorials, etc. If we get our own category, artists will have a chance to blossom. To be honest, the youtube artist community isn't that big. So this category will help people like me prosper as an artist and help others in the process.
All I can say to those who are just starting out is , keep drawing! They say practice makes perfect, but that's wrong! haha. Practicing RIGHT makes perfect. If you practice wrongly or develop bad habits, you won't be able to reach your true potential. As for me, I still have lots to learn, and the main reason/motivation I have is from my audience who leave comments. I feel really accomplished when I see comments from other people =] That being said, I'm going to sleep :D You can find me on:
