[Music]
all right um so I guess I'm starting so
hi um people in the vendor Hall in in
front of me in person so if you don't
know who I am I'm a YouTuber my YouTuber
name is I love compossible a lot it's a
it's a lot um anyway but I for those who
who aren't familiar I'm an animator as
well as a YouTuber as well as a comedian
and when I'm nervous I ad lib and I
improv and I'm am a little nervous so
anyway um why don't we start questions
so if everyone wants to get in line for
questions and I'll also start um I'll
also start drawing the aerial sketch and
I'll I'll talk about that as I draw but
um does anyone have any questions to
start off or does anyone just do people
just want me to draw and hear talk me
talk through drawing who wants to hear
me talk through drawing raise your
hand most of you who wants to have
questions okay you can ask a question no
you got to go in the microphone
okay um quick question you could draw
any kind of favorite animated character
like based on the TV show and movie mhm
okay like uh something like uh a
reference version and you have a YouTube
question or you just is it this a
drawing request uh no no no no no no I
think it's a YouTube question okay sure
sure okay usually I don't I this is
actually my first time knowing about
your channel so okay that's fine that's
fine I'm just trying to gauge what
you're trying to ask all good um like a
like a fan fan fa fanmade character like
anything like uh something I always
wanted to have like on part of my
animation life like a character in my
part of my part of my favorite charact
fanmade characters so you're asking like
how do you draw a fan-made character um
so it's a it's a little bit of mix of
character design and knowing the source
material so for the source material like
you got if it's a Rick and Morty
character cuz you have a Rick and Morty
shirt um you just kind of study the
character designs of that show because
for character design in general you have
like a lot of of um the communication of
what the character is about is through
their shape language essentially you
know if you're doing a character that's
already based like you know if you're
doing a Rick and Morty character for
example there's there's a lot of
teenagers in that show and you're basing
it just a normal teenager then that's
usually easier than having or designing
a specific character made to do a
specific thing so if it's like a teacher
or like you know they just had um
dinosaurs in the last season Rick and
Morty those ones are kind of you have to
like you have to look up dinosaurs and
you have to you know kind of combine
both a real life dinosaur and um you
know that style but I always tell people
use reference pictures you have access
to the internet so just if you need to
draw a dinosaur just practice drawing
dinosaurs before you're ready to stylize
it yeah like uh any fan-made character
like a Pokemon character uhhuh yeah and
it's the same thing for it's it's the
same because at the end of the day for
anything that's new it's about designing
but a lot of people don't understand
design language essentially and you know
all you have to do is learn you know
that's not a that's not a barrier but
you know like find some artists that you
like their character designs and just
kind of practice how they draw so you
can kind of take your own character
design have the characters in my head
but I need to start working on how to
draw it perfectly I mean you just just
don't worry about it being perfect just
start practicing cuz you know the first
step of course of course thank you yeah
no problem okay so I'm going to start
drawing um and then if anyone has
questions I'll just kind of start um
answering questions does anyone have any
YouTube questions or people just want to
see me
draw okay I'll just draw so Ariel is a
little tricky because she has so much
hair so um what I usually do if you're
trying to draw Ariel on model which on
model means like what she looks like in
the movie um then you got to start with
like a basic you know head shape so
usually how the heads go in general is
like there's the back head but you have
to keep in mind the the the shape of the
head that's covered by the hair so the
image I'm using for reference I have a
reference image on my phone there's the
reference image um I can draw Ariel on
my head but I want to try to get her
closer to um a nonmodel style and having
reference isn't cheating you know I'm
not tracing it I'm just kind of keeping
it in mind but I'm still going to do
some stylization as I go cuz you know at
the end of the day it's just kind of
having fun so Ariel has like a little
cheekbone kind of going on and then this
this pose I'm going to do a head shot
first and then I'll do a full body of
Ariel so anyway um that's generally so
I'm trying to get the basic shape and um
how I'm sketching right now with my um
like holding the pencil like this just
kind of gives me more control because a
lot of time a lot of times artists kind
of draw like this and we want to like
what I usually tell people is you want
to try to get out of that habit if you
can because if you draw with your arm
and not your wrist not just your wrist
but like your whole arm you have more
control over the angles that you're
drawing her or just a character in
general so I'm drawing her like this to
get the basic shape down and then I'm
going to go in and do details as I go so
this is the vector kind of pose so you
can see already starting out that um
like I'm a little off with the with the
chin the the tip of the chin so I'm
going to refine that as I go and then I
do the eyes and then um you know now I
can go in and do the kind of imply the
hair shape so Ariel always has this
beautiful little like I love the way her
hair kind of goes around her um her head
I always have loved that about her
design and I think other people like it
too so this is very much a glen Keen
style of doing like a sketch like a
messy sketch just to kind of get the
gist of the um of the pose and then
goinging in uh for those who don't know
Glenn Keane was um I believe the main
animator of Ariel the head animator at
the time he was on um he got started
with Disney with the Great Mouse
Detective and then he did Ariel and then
he did I believe pocah hanis or J
Jasmine then Pocahontas I believe and
then um he did my one of my favorite
characters uh John Silver from Treasure
Planet who is a very complicated
character to get done correctly maybe
I'll draw him next um if anyone cares
about Treasure Planet I'll draw Treasure
Planet stuff all day but Ariel's the the
first OG The Muse The Flame anyway so
I'm kind of getting just a little bit of
her tail in but for her tail you kind of
want to make sure you get the hips in
first before you go into detail so
that's kind of the general sketch so you
can see I I I need to work on the neck
and the bus is a little bit too like big
but I'm going to refine those as I do
the details so anyway so I'm going to
I'm going to do the details with a
little harder pencil and then I'll go in
and um I'll do ink I'll ink them can you
guys see if I do the the pencils hard
okay
cool cool so you can see I'm doing a
little stylization with her hair and
it's always important even if you feel
like you have a good rough sketch done
to go in and um keep that in mind
because like especially if you're trying
to get a character on model and auto
model means like for animated characters
specifically it's the way that they look
in the movies so on model just basically
means that all the characters basically
have breakdown like structures of how to
draw them so all the animators can
animate in the same exact style so the
idea especially with Disney stuff is
that you can't you want to be able to
not tell what animator animated a
specific scene and then generally how
animation works is uh there's rough
animators who kind of focus on getting
the rough action movement so so um you
know I can I can do some animation s
samples cuz I have a notebook and we can
do some frame thingies but anyway that's
not relevant right now um so but
essentially they're in charge of getting
the rough shapes and kind of making sure
the characters are consist like the the
the main animation and then you have
cleanup artists or cleanup animators um
who come in and take the rough um
sketches this is how it was done
historically if you do traditional 2D
animation um they'd come in and they'
clean it up so I'm kind of doing both
right now so I kind of did a really
rough sketch and now I'm doing my own
cleanup but ideally in a perfect world
you should be able to to do both but um
you know I I I a lot of kids ask me who
want to be in the industry I'm kind of
like just doing YouTube right now um how
they how they um what they can do to be
better and a lot of times especially
with fan artists they kind of fall into
these these boxes for themselves where
they draw a Chara the way they draw it
which is totally fine it's all about
just kind of getting a feel for the
character get a feel for the character
um and but they kind of they don't
challenge themselves to try to um make
sure like it's on model because at the
end of the day like the industry is a
creative process and you need to make
sure that you need to make sure that
you're able to draw like everyone else
um and by everyone else I mean like the
same because there's a difference
between a great draftsman and a great
draftsman that can kind of work in
collaborative effort like a big Studio
like uh like
Disney so anyway there's the general
shape of her and there her hair is kind
of hiding her her her shoulder in this
shot but that's kind of the general gist
of it and then Ariel's eyes they're kind
of like the like they're drawn a little
bit like at an angle and it's kind of um
It's kind and then her eyelashes are
kind of came come off from there so if
you guys are keeping an eye a chat on
the live thing that's kind of basically
how they do it and then you do like
little bumps for the ey the um the top
of the eyelids and then she's going to
I'm going to have her her eyebrows go
over her hair but that's a stylization
thing that's not that's not how you
usually draw her there you go there you
go so you're kind of starting to see her
but I'm kind of changing as I go so
anyway for those who don't know where I
am I'm in the Creator stage I'm drawing
areel live if you guys want to learn how
to draw Ariel I'll probably just draw
Ariel for the rest of the time unless
someone has another request but I like
drawing Ariel she's therapeutic for me
to draw so and then like her hip um so
her hip um fin I guess I don't know if
there's official term it just kind of
goes around where her hip area is and
then you can kind of go from there so
there's the bottom of her arm there you
go there you go kiddo so I got the
general details down so I'm going to go
in an ink her so a lot of times I mess
up with my inking um and I do layers but
also there's other times where I just
like doing layers for the sake of it so
it's a little bit of both is my artist
my personal artistic process but if I
was animating Ariel then I just kind of
leave her rough right now and you know
if I was the the rough animator she
would go out kind of like this she's not
100% on model cuz I'm doing it live and
I'm a little nervous but um she's close
enough so I'm just is doing her ear and
her she's got a um a piece of hair over
her both of her ears depending and then
the the hair the hair loop on top of her
hair is also um on both sides at both
angles so it she usually always has it
but you have to keep in mind too
especially when drawing characters like
Ariel um like Ariel you know as a
mermaid she's usually underwater so if
she's not underwater um you know like
the the the water will change her hair
chemistry essentially like because the
weight the physics of the water are
different than if she uh wasn't in the
water so just keep that in mind
especially with characters that are like
in space or something if you're
animating them versus actually drawing
them you know um the physics will change
like due to gravity or due to like
things that are relevant to the plot so
I'm I'm kind of ining the top of her
little aiel hair loopy thing I'm sure
there's an official term on it for for
it but I can't remember it right now so
uh Ariel is one of the the few Disney
characters that have this eye structure
it's it's very dependent on the
character obviously so but it's a little
tricky because if you don't get the
angle of the eye right which I you know
sometimes I even I mess up on that then
uh it can look really off and especially
you have to make sure these two um both
eyes align with each other so yeah you
can see I'm just going to do them both
black for now I'm going to cheat a
little bit it's my artart a man I'm
getting nervous again oh no I'm messing
up her lips okay that's basically her
lips that's close enough she's kind of
got a little of a Joker Style but that
should change once I add or that should
be fixed once I added the eyebrows
little little Ariel eyebrows there you
go there you go kiddo I can't I don't
know does that look good I don't know
yeah it's right here all right well you
host the panel then I'm going to finish
this one and then I'll do a new one
we'll just have her have a closed mouth
for now oh that even okay I'm just going
to start over I'm going to do a more
stylized one to calm down a little bit
but yeah what's your question I was just
wondering how your approach to uh like
pre-production changed over time from
when you first started to like how much
prep work you put into each video oh um
or if there were any like significant
structural changes you made as you went
along that's a good question so he's um
for those who didn't hear he's asking
like how my prep work for conventions
has changed over time
um so essentially like um I'm going to
answer your question first before I draw
again um so I'm an artist so I'm kind of
in a little um a weird field so like the
majority of my stuff is paper because um
like stuff relevant to my brand quote
unquote isn't going to move if people
aren't already familiar with that and
I'm relatively a small YouTuber compared
to like you know I'm not I don't like I
have 100,000 subscribers and that's not
really a big deal for as big of a show
as this so for me specifically I'm an
artist so I'm doing commissions and then
I have some pre-done stuff so that's
just like paper and pencils and Sharpies
and you know that kind of thing so um
you know it's just a matter of just kind
of investment and making in investing in
things like uh keychains and kind of
Raving it up for there but my vending um
stuff has been pretty the same just
because I'm kind of in a weird category
but yeah that's generally um that the
answer to the question so thank you yeah
no problem appreciate it so I'm gonna
doing um my own stylized version so my
own style is very um close to like the
OG compossible style but we're going to
do it as with Ariel instead so same
basic things I'm still going to keep her
basic head structure and stuff and this
would be her skull so for the arms
specifically sometimes artists will I'm
just going to draw example sometimes
they'll do the shoulders like right here
and they'll do likeo whoop whoop and
remember the shoulders go are like if
you look at the bone structure for the
shoulders it's the shoulder bone is kind
of like kind of like that so it would it
will it will go into the socket Anatomy
wise of the shoulder bone so the
shoulder should kind of look like this
it shouldn't stick out too much
essentially so that's what I'm kind of
doing here
so I'm trying to get her um her the her
body shape correct cuz she has a small
waist and then her mermaid tail starts I
always like um ever since I was little I
love the dynamic structure of like the
way she can move in the water as I'm
sure most other people are in that boat
get it Boat fish mermaid anyway there
thanks for coming to my TED talk you can
really have a lot of fun with the posing
and this is just kind of mermaids in
general see she's coming out a lot more
non natural so I'm going to give her the
compossible lip and like for her hair
always kind of give her like um that
would be the top of her skull so you
know especially with those people with
like High hair just make sure there's
still the skull and you keep keep that
in account so that' be the top of her
skull so even then I still give her a
lot of hair um but also keep in mind
she's underwater so the the underwater
physics kind of make her hair go a
little more loopy than normal it kind of
spreads out more than normal so
anyway there you go that's much better
I'm much more comfortable with that and
keep an eye too so I'm going to start
inking it so keep an eye too I
foreshortened her tail a little bit so
foreshortening essentially is um playing
with depth in a twodimensional space so
because so that would be where the her
hips would be if she had hips cuz she's
a mermaid but how it basically goes is
like this so it moves farther away from
the camera and then it comes back and
then it wraps around so keep that in
mind like when you're drawing humans So
like um basically
it's you can just Google for shortening
if you don't even have an idea of what
foreshortening is for my bad description
but that's generally what it is so I'm
going to start inking her a little bit
I'm going to just use the regular
Sharpie cuz the Sharpie is a little dead
so after I'm done with the inking I'm
going to to take a little bit of a break
and answer YouTube questions so if
anyone is actually here for the YouTube
questions and not just the the sketch
and show then uh please have your
questions ready cuz um I think
everyone's just vibing for drawing but
you know so it's a stylization of mine
to like and this is a general cartoon
thing to have like the eyebrows over her
um over the hair of the character as
well as the um eyelashes depending on
it's very like if you guys remember
Lizzie MaGuire that's kind of like where
the style is is based off of at least in
my me memory but I think it's like it's
very um specific but I always like as
long as you don't overdo it and then
when you're coloring um her hip um
scales just remember that they um the
opacity so opacity is basically how
see-through an object is so it has like
a 50% opacity so it's not totally it's
not solid it's not a solid color but
since since we're just doing a um a
Sharpie sketch it doesn't really matter
there you go little fish lady um I'll
fix that in a second so I kind of messed
up on the hands but or the the shadow
there but and then just keeping like I'm
doing the Palms up
so that's kind of what I'm going for so
she's looking up in this direction of
like if there's a sun or something
that's where her line of vision is and
then Disney has the little circlly
things so I'm going to do some more
thickening of the lines on the hair and
I think that's as done as this piece is
going to get and then I'll take requests
if anyone has any I'll probably just I
mean by requests I'm probably just going
to draw more Koss or AOSS but you know
that's kind of the gist of it so that's
kind of a cartoon top of my head version
drawing on model live is a little hard
and I'm a little rusty in that so maybe
for next
time she wants she's wants to be where
the people are
and then I'm going to do some thickness
on her tail some some shading as the
kids call it so shading is just kind of
where the the the light is coming from
so that's kind of the difference of
shading but I'm also doing um thickness
of lines depending on what part of the
body I want to draw emphasis on so like
you know what's the thickest part and
that would be like her her her tail and
her like her skin not her skin like
where her um like her ribs are for
instance you
know things that are not lighted like
her hair and
wait there can possible lip all right um
I think that's pretty decent so I'll
sign it I sign everything KP
kp23 yay we're done
woo I had a question yeah hey Chuck
what's your question could you tell us
about your YouTube channel and well like
how you got started cuz I'm a YouTuber
as well um sort of how you started and
how you were so successful with it and
how it grew and kind of you know what
what's the channel about and how did it
evolve is this out of genuine curiosity
or you just kind of trying to help no
cuz I can't seem to get past like 3,000
subscribers so I'm kind of curious how
you managed to crack the code right um
so what I talked about kind of like what
I talked about yesterday as far as like
um um pitching to scale essentially like
so the uh my channel named I love Koss a
lot um we host original animations and
stuff like that so it's not just like a
podcast or you know like our reviews cuz
reviewing um cartoons and media and
character analysis is kind of the bread
and butter of the channel but anything
usually involving animation so we have a
lion king documentary that's coming out
eventually and we had we have Tony boft
on that and he's is a cool guy um we're
we're kind of just it's a little bit
anyway besides that but Tony vancro for
those who don't know uh he was a an
original animator on The Lion King and
he also co-directed Mulan so he's a neat
guy anyway um so but at the end of the
day it's just about um the algorithm and
training your audience to um remember
like you know know when you're uploading
videos and just kind of go from that and
even now it's kind of in a weird stage
because like I been stuck post um the My
Little Pony phrase cuz that was my
background of Doing My Little Pony theme
content um and expanding to just general
cartoons but um I also haven't really
been keeping up with making sure we have
weekly content but that's kind of the
thing and it requires a lot of uh
planning because if you don't have if
you can't plan then um people kind of
forget like they forget that you exist
and even like so people just assume that
I do well because of my my subscriber
base but I think like it just depends on
the video and it depends if like if you
fall out of the schedule then people
kind of fall out on watching you in
general so um it's kind of a catch 22 so
you have to sell your soul to the
algorithm a little bit to kind of get it
flowing yeah any other YouTubers in the
crowd right now show hands anybody make
YouTube content I think everyone's here
for Vibes and draws okay draw away don't
let me derail you I'm just picking your
brain as your sketch um does anyone have
any more YouTube questions before I draw
impossible
um so Kim Possible I'm just going to do
a head shot of Kim Possible I don't want
to push myself to draw on like the whole
body cuz I got that's a little hard in
general so anyway um so Kim Possible
head head she's kind of got an oval
shaped head and then you do your sketch
lines so these are just lines to get a
like you do a a line in going down the
face so this would be the nose would be
kind of and then this area is where the
eyes are going to be so that's kind of
what that's what artists do when they do
this so um so we're going to do her eyes
she kind of looks like a little mouse
right now but let me erase that part
just so you guys can see so there are
her eyes and there's her
nose and then I'm going to refine the
face shape a little bit cuz I think I
got it too big uh Kimpossible kind of
has um a little o slightly oval-shaped
eyes and then for the compossible
character specifically it depends on the
character if they have a pupil in the
eyes so Kim has a pupil um sheo has a
pupil but Ron Ron just has solid BL uh
brown eyes and dra just has black eyes I
don't even I assume they're blue I guess
but you know that's a stylization thing
if anything
so um her so her face has a slight point
near the end so sheo has a pointier chin
than her but but she still has a slight
point I always draw her ear even though
her ear is usually out of the pitchure
so when you're drawing compossible too
it depends on if she if it's a left
facing or a right facing so for the left
facing just in general for her hair so
I'm going to do example so you draw her
hair like
this
whoop so that's uh that would be left I
guess and then for the right
HT
um it's kind of like
this ear
part so it depends on how they're like
where they switch back and forth between
the animation but that's something you
wouldn't know unless you're an animator
and I'm sure people in the crowd or
people listening like who can see this
probably people in the crowd people on
the floor probably like what is she
talking about but anyway um where she's
facing there's a different hair angle
essentially so um and they switch back
and forth between it so that's why
Kimpossible is a really animation like
interesting show to study because they
it's a very animated Focus like it's not
just it has all these stylistic things
that are cool about it like things like
this like her hair shape like who would
know that you know unless you studied
the character designs but anyway so
she's facing this way so I'm going to
draw her hair this way there you go
there you go kiddo so she does have a
little part on this side too it just
depends if you can see it with her hair
down and then obviously I'm keeping the
hairline exaggerated down you if it it
was so sh if it was show style it would
it would go up top here but it's but I'm
not cuz I'm not doing that right now and
then her little Kimpossible chin and
that's generally her she doesn't have
any um any like I think she has like no
she doesn't have any d any Phantom ears
or anything like that I usually draw her
just like this and then you can you can
do the neck if you want to there you go
that's generally how to draw compossible
do you guys want me to draw Sho I assume
so okay cool I'll draw Sho so this one
can be another one I'll sign it um so
sheo has I'll yeah can you guys see the
pencil right okay cool so sheo has a
poin your hair head and then she's kind
of um she's a little different so poin
your head
and smooth her side face but she doesn't
have the the the thing with her hair so
she has the side draw her hair she has
like a little whoop whoop whoop whoop
that's an exaggeration it's a little bit
like this and then this part is a little
pointy and then it dips down so her this
side part of her hair can curve and then
she's got a little uh loose piece of
hair in front of her face so she goes a
little hard to draw because you have
have to frame her face like that very
specifically and in the show she doesn't
have her hair up that often if at all I
think the only time off the top of my
head that she has her hair up is the
motion sickness and then in um in stop
team go she has her hair like like in a
like with a headband in it I don't know
I don't know how hair logic works so
same thing with the face but you can see
her her face is little is much pointier
and then we'll do a mad expression cuz
she she go
and then for the eyebrows too for the
compossible characters all the eyebrows
usually follow um the structure of the
nose so if you go up the nose then the
eyebrows are right here and then she has
a little bit more pointier eyes than
Kim whoop whoop so there's her eyes in
general and then she has the pupils so
there you go oh I'll make the line art a
little thicker the line weight so there
you go there she go yeah I can draw a
pony what Pony no Morty Morty oh yeah I
can draw Morty let me I just got to look
up a reference on my
phone either way like Rick is is kind of
tricky because of the points in his in
his hair so Morty's actually probably
easier to
draw oh two more minutes never mind okay
I'll do a general thing and then we'll
auction off these pieces
okay oh my booth is in the Creator space
um it's in the corner if you guys want
any commissions I can draw pretty much
anything um if I'm not on camera live
doing it on the cuff so I'll have more
time just to breathe and like not be so
nervous anyway so General Morty shape so
I'm just going to do something really
simple
circle eyes that bleed out of the circle
little
bit um his nose is like right on the
bottom and then his ey the eye the
pupils for the rick Mor characters are
like weird and then he's got a the top
head that's a really quick myty Smith
his hair is a little bit more circular
than that there you go I hate this I
hate the the the the rec I hate this
this facial expression I know it's
popular for the shows fans but I'm just
like every time someone asks me to draw
it I like I I cry a little bit on the
inside so anyway there's a super quick
Morty that I had to draw off the cuff
but that's kind of the gist of it okay
so I have Sho I have the Kim I have the
