This is a longer video with watercolour painting at the end. You can get the tshirt here! and here for kids
This was inspired by the YouTube Spacelab competition.
This is quite a “fractal” design in that each section of the robot arm is pretty much the same as the next but smaller. If you can get the  shape and manipulate it in space then it should all come together when you watch this video.
Microphones are not easy to draw because of the woven metal grille over the speaking end, but watch this and it might make it a bit easier for you.
I actually want to encourage you not to draw Manga – well, not if you want to be a professional illustrator someday. There are just too many Manga Artists, basically all doing the same thing. It’s very unusual to find one that stands out from the rest. Mark Crilley on YouTube , certainly stands out. you can learn a huge amount about drawing and character and scenes and book pacing from Mark, but he’s got there before you. Learn, move on and adapt – find your own style.
In this video I show you a bit of how I would draw Manga, but then try to show how you can use Manga to influence your style, but don’t let it take over altogether. Manga is slick and “looks cool” but it does all tend to look the same. The artist that works for the least amount gets the job and you probably need to move to Japan too. Find your own style and stick with it.
The Bubzbeauty YouTube Channel started a YouTube meme called 40 expressions at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zEPt02mEpuc and this is my response to that video. Drawing 40 different expressions in one take without any cuts or editing. one or two don’t quite get it right, but on the whole I’m very pleased. It’s not about the quality of the drawing but getting and essence of the expression. Hope you like it. What would make some other great expressions that were missed of?
Yes! 30 Valentine’s hearts and all different. Watch and see if you get any ideas from this.
