    @AuraTheChibiArtist themselves. (I hate that youtube comments have a character limit. Restricts me from saying what I want in one huge chunk.) Might I ask how you started off with drawing and where it has gotten? you? Considering your other videos, I’m guessing 3d modelling, but that’s just my intuition speaking. I hope to see a lot more of you in the future, because I can’t get enough of how you demonstrate and explain things. Congrats, you have a new subscriber.

    This is possibly the best video I have seen on this subject in a long time. I plan on using these steps to improve my drawings, little by little until I reach my goal of becoming a good artist/painter. While it may only be a hobby of mine, I take it seriously and really appreciate how detailed all your videos, while keeping the overall theory behind it relatively simple. Your laid back attitude? and overall manner of presentation and speech makes a viewer want to keep listening and try it for

  • nivjwk says:

    You could have a number of intents, from trying attract attention. Trying to relax. etc. If someone is alive, they are doing something, even if they are not aware of what they are doing. Even characters in aesthetic pose do something if? they are alive, no matter how mundane. As you think deeper , you consider why they want to do this or that, and how that motivates their intent. Whenever you draw a character, you are telling a story, even if you were not planning on doing it.

  • ShiaKyosuka says:

    What if the character’s just doing? a nice and aesthetic pose?

    What kind of intent do I assign to that?

  • painterger says:

  • zuppah says:

    I learned so much from this one! Specially the way you first position the hands, feet or head ^_^ I never considered doing it? that way

  • PoNana says:

    I never thought of different stages in drawing… Thank you so much for the useful info! It makes drawing so much less intimidating. I always have an idea in my mind, but it never? comes out right. Maybe this will help?

  • moatddtutorials says:

    Starting with “Intent” will help you come up with better ideas for things to draw.

    Having a step-by-step process can help you focus all your effort on individual stages, such that each stage is done well. Adjust the process to suit your? needs.

    It beats trying to do everything at once and experiencing epic phail. :D

    lol at NOM NOM NOM

    great? job I should really learn how to use this techniques property. Maybe i can become better.

  • moatddtutorials says:

    Yup, just 6 steps, and you really only have to remember the first three – Intent, Action, Form Flow. The other three, Form Placement, Line? Placement and Line Quality come naturally.

  • moatddtutorials says:

    It’s those first three things? that are often overlooked… Intent, Action, Flow. When you have a good drawing process, each step makes it easy to do the next step – the work seems to finish itself off.

  • comicsggk says:

    First, and? thanks for the useful info. I’m sure lots of people fall into silly ruts and bad drawing habits.
