Precisely yesterday i was going back into the fundamentals because I’m very rusty with that. How surprising to see that one of my favorite artists just uploaded this! Thank you so much!! 💖💖💖

@InfiniJade

Though stated, this is not the most technically advanced video on shape fundamentals; it does serve to make these topics amazingly approachable, less intimidating to focus on, and motivating to expand on. It's hard to find a video that doesn't make you feel like you're not even capable of beginner level stuff or feel like it's safe to go back to the basics. Thank you for making this video

@Amik.444

I am so mind blown. I’m trying to work on my drawing and become a tattoo apprentice. People keep telling me to WORK ON THE FUNDAMENTALS. And I didn’t understand. But THIS almost makes me want to cry. I didn’t get a good education and books and art have been my only passions. I subscribed and will definitely be using your videos. Thank you!

Pretty much every day for four years. It feels impossible to achieve anything close to consistent perfection. Scott Robertson said he met a guy that never used guides and he was near perfect so I'm going to spend my life trying 😁

@xtanpx

Mr. Hampton has a YouTube channel!? Thankyou internet for leading me towards this.

@itsryleeduhh

I like that you admit that even your work isnt perfect, i feel like a lot of art tutorials approach it in a way that makes you feel bad for not being perfect because some of they artists making them make it seem like they are the perfect gold standard, i like that you keep it real that even you have space for improvement, its reassuring and refreshing, will definitely be sticking with you for learning all i can!

@camillespence6735

Excellent presentation to help a beginner get started. Illustrations broken down in small, simple, steps that expressed 1 what you need as your starting point, 2 how to judge the standard of your practice and 3 support tools if you struggle at the start. This was a fantastic teaching guide! Thank you

@JessicaChave-wk2tm

Definitely my interest in different mediums has expanded the more I’ve learnt.

@Ferdouse

Nice take on perspective, I find drawing landscapes helps with perspective drawing, although buildings can be a bit more dificult. cheers.

@katm8128

Recently purchased your figure drawing book and it’s been such a great help already. Thanks for uploading here too so we can watch this in real time and learn

@Ben-bg2lp

This video is the best thing that has happened to me during the past year.

@aboudaymane8195

@lorircreates

I am so glad to have found your youtube channel. Thank you for sharing this!

@thanatos454

Just a heads up to anybody practicing placing ellipses on a turned plane (10:23)  The major axis of the ellipse will not go through the center of the x on the plane.  Don't stress yourself out trying to force it.   MH's major axis wasn't placed properly in this demonstration.  It is too far to the right.

@eggy337

I have so many ideas but could never execute them they way I wanted to on paper. I hope that touching up on the basics will help me with that ❤

@KillerTacos54

Fantastic video Mr Hampton, thanks so much for sharing as always

@foxygrin

Wait... Michael Hampton? THE Michael Hampton, is on youtube giving art advice? Wow, this gives me even more reason to study your book as thoroughly as I had planned! We truly live in an incredible time where learning art is so accessible!

@seokinchung

lots of time, I saw students being fascinated in making perspective very "wide angle lens"-like. It usually makes lines converging to vanishing point in very steep angles. Combined with extreme yoga-ish pose figures. it makes things extremely hard to figure out and usually ends up with very obscure unsatisfying results.

@3cc290

this is a great addition to your book. thank you!
