I came across one of your videos on youtube about skin.Β  Thank you so much for your thorough explanation and more of the science behind it.Β  I have struggled for a long time with my understanding of colors and what to choose but your video was somewhat of an epiphany for me.

I was lost with my drawing technique, wasn't sure why i couldn't make something decent, something that i could like, until I saw your "Why your drawings suck" video. Not gonna lie my art growth was around anime/manga, but i'll try to learn the rules before breaking then, as they say haha

Thanks for everything, I already joined your art class and I'm looking foward to improvement.

I was suggested to check out your YouTube after a toxic ass started calling out my art without providing more objective criticism. I will say that I am glad that he linked me to your channel though, I'm very interested in the drawing exercises that I glanced over in your videos.


Although I do think that art styles are subjective, I do agree that its important to better improve the focal point and other technical qualities of your drawings. I'll certainly be sure to check out more of your past (and possibly future) content, and I'm looking forward to growing more as an artist thanks to your videos.


You've certainly earned my watch and subscription to your DA and YT channel respectively. ^^

I love your Youtube channel, it helps me pinpoint my own weaknesses in other's works, as well as learn new techniques. Sadly my school doesn't do this kind of technical teaching (we're expected to either already have it or just "stylize". ) so you've kind of become a substitute tutor. Thanks for all your hard work!

I'm really thankful about the full-on honesty with people's work. Everyone's just being so sensitive these days and get offended even if it's not their work being critiqued lol but those people don't matter. I hope you'll keep doing what you do for a long time Β

Hi!
I just found you on YouTube and checked out your work and .. It is amazing! You inspire a lot!
I am a beginner artist, in a sence That I have been drawing for years but never a actually doing it seriously, and now I am super motivated to learn and grow as much as it is Possible and Become better! The problem is I do not have anyone to talk about art about mistakes and improvement. That is why I am searching for someone to help me. Maybe If you have time to reply on this comment, I would like to know what would be best way to find people to Whom I could talk to. And maybe get some Advices.
And I would be SUPER duper thankful If you Could check my gallery and see my drawings and maybe give me some Critics.
Wish 'you all the best! <3

Hi,
I'm not sure whether you still read your DeviantArt comments, but I just wanted to say a huge thank you for all that you've done for my art. I painted over one of my paintings from last year and it improved hugely. This is it right here in case you wanted to see it:Nicola 1 Β 
Again, thank you so much for everything. I know I've got a way to go yet but I'll get there thanks to you!

Hello!Β 

I'm not Istebrak but the wonderful artist does have a Google+ group revolving purely around critiquing artwork. The main goal of the group is to progress and improve together. Though I'm not sure what style of art you do, I definitely recommend taking a look at it if it's in your art forte.Β 

plus.google.com/b/104087150016…

Please make sure to read the rules before committing! It's listed under the 'About Community' section and mentions what is or not allowed to be posted. Have fun and be prepared to share your own thoughts to the other artists in the community!

ShirosDreams In reply to Spectredox [2017-06-21 18:18:03 +0000 UTC]

Hi! I'm so sorry for the late reply! I'm not actively participating in the community, so I'm not sure how to go about posting for the 14-day challenge either. Unfortunately, I'm certain there isn't an actual written document which lists the individual rules/steps for the challenge. However, if you just take a look at what the others are posting on the community page (i.e; portraits)- you can do the same, post it, then ask for the rules and critique in your first post! I'm sure you'll receive your answers there Β 

Additionally, Istebrak has covered the topic in some of her critique videos on the 14-day challenge portraits, so you could reference to those as well! Istebrak also has a Facebook page which you can message her on as well!Β www.facebook.com/IstebrakArt/

Good luck!Β

Hey,

Upon encountering your video on Youtube about why my drawings suck, I wanted to give it the shot I always longed to give but could not because of being busy with other things such as school. Your points made sense but I need more detail, so I'm going to be watching more of your videos. Anyways, let this be the beginning of the solution for the "community" aspect.

Nice to meet you.

Infrequently having your youtube videos playing in background while drawing, always accompanying low music in VLC. Doubting a bit today, like "ever reaching goals..?" and your stream starting simultaneous with copy of Borderlands 2 OST. Β Thinking computer dying, shut off VLC and *today's Critique Hour had same music.Β 

Never into coincidence or luck, but quite amusing and quick snapping into better feeling. Lifetime fan!

Mm, also giving thanks for amazing resources\practical examples && articulate honesty. Not often finding both in one place/artist, let alone used together, haha.

I've been feeling really down about my work lately- but as luck would have it, Youtube recommended your videos to me, and watching them has honestly helped me so much. Your words of Β wisdom are super inspiring, and you have such a relateable personality that it really makes learning from you all that easier. When you talk about yourself as a young artist, I see a lot of my younger self in the stories that you tell, and it's so meaningful to me.

Thank you so much for the time and dedication you've put into your videos. You're really doing a great thing and touching the hearts of millions of artists! Β

Hi! I've just found you on YouTube - your critique and how to videos are the pure knowledge! Amazing! Thank you for each and every one of them. The first one I've watched was - Why your drawing sucks - good one! Now I know how much I have to learn
Also, your website is what every artist's website should look like - simple, no unnecessary content, and on every page a place when I can give you my thought, communicate with you - it really feels like you were there to listen. I would join your free critique group if I wasn't so lazy b!^$$@*% and so afraid of a failure...

Have a great day!

Hello, amazing gallery here. As I came across the many youtube uploads of tutorials/pointers/self-roasts/helpful advice and repaints you have done with your followers/students, I wanted to say it helped me figure out some stuff I did not see up to now. I still have a long way to go, but it was very insightful and helpful. Thank you for posting those and keep up the amazing work Β

Hello! Β 

Um..., if it's no trouble, would you mind critiquing a piece of my art? I'm working on a realism picture for a good friend of mine and it's not my first time doing realism, but it is my first time doing it on the computer. (Joy...) Plus, I've just started getting my spark for drawing back and I can tell that I'm horribly rusty...

I've watched a couple of your livestreams and you seem like you have a really good grasp on realism. I feel like I'm decent, but I could most certainly improve. If it's too much trouble I understand completely.

Thank you for taking the time to read this,

-Zel
