Every time I watch a Will Terrell video I anticipate a few things. 1: I will learn good art advice. 2: I will learn general life advice. 3: I will feel kinda emotional from hearing him get all deep and stuff. My emotions, my emotions! Thanks Will!

I'm right there with you man. Will is so inspirational!

"What's the story behind the picture" is going to end up being my mantra for the rest of my artwork. Thank you so much for putting it in front of my face with neon arrows so I didn't miss it. So simple that I overlooked it and yet completely profound that I wonder how I missed it in the first place. Also, may I just say that that old lady is everything I do in life. I feel like I got my shit together, but everyone on the outside is just like, "What is she doing?". Yeah, that sums it up nicely.

Will, I just love how friendly you are and how openly you talk about your drawings. You have a wonderful talent that you know how to express, fill it with love and share it. You are amazing and I love your channel! Keep on doing the thing you do!

Wow. Judging by the title I was expecting some type of clickbait but instead I ended up getting the best art advice I've gotten in awhile and life advice too! Not to mention an adorable drawing that put a smile on my face. Thankyou. Keep up the amazing videos!

Initially I came to see the little old lady and hear your tip, but I was intrigued by "the story" I stayed the entire 19 minutes, great job Will I thank you grandly for opening our minds to this technique.

You know what? I fucking love you man! This videos make me close KZread and start drawing more! It's just so inspiring. Thanks a lot for this. Keep it up.

Will, you may not read this comment ever but if you do, i would like for you to keep in my, you have made drastic change in my life, most of it not in my artowork at all, the way i think about certain things, some things about my daily life the perpestive of things the way i think about something , i only noticed this recently , my perpectives like "god, i ve nailed it ..how did..? oh yea that video!" and in some ways my social life as well. You're a good guy, the advice you give is from an open heart, you're open, you're authentic, what you say is not something to think about and force, you tell us life lessons from YOUR experience and share it, share what you've learnt which makes it real, true ,..legit,thank you for that...so much! My art still needs some improvement, but it's that way for everyone right? i'm trying, and as far as i know, i got the motivation it needs to get better, time and ... well mixing up a bunch of youtubers' videos Again thank you, so much

it may be a small thing, but this video improved my artistic ideas and my outlook on art in general, and I'm sure I'm not the only one. So according to your own words, you've met your goal. Thanks man.

these episodes are so different from what you see on other drawing/painting/sketching channels but are SO helpful!! Thank you!!!!

your laugh is priceless. that's your gift :D

Will, for some reason your subscribers community is the best I've seen ever on youtube. What you do is good keep going man!

Oh gosh I'd really love to be friends with you!XD You're so adorable!! Also thanks for the tip,it really does help.XD

I almost didn't click on this video because I thought it was a scam or some technique that only works in certain styles, but I am SO glad I did! Wonderful video!

I'm going to be drawing caricatures for other people for the first time this weekend and I've been re-watching a lot of your videos, and this one in particular really helped. I'm much more confident in how to approach doing it. Thank you so much and I love all your art!

I'm glad it helped, friend. I hope its a very fun experience for you doing caricatures. And I hope you make many many people smile.

I hope you read this, Will. I came to this video to find what other wisdom you have to offer to me in order to become a better artist and take it as serious as possible and while you did that you also provided a life lesson. I get kinda depressed sometimes and overwhelmed by other people's work and stressed out that whatever is in my head won't come out onto the paper the way I'd like it to sometimes. But as you said, everyone has value. Everyone is good at something and personally I think drawing stuff is all that I have going for me. I've been doing it ever since elementary school and I'm 22 now and I've thought that my time has run out to become good. It's not true. I'm getting old but I'm not decrepit yet lol. So I suppose what I'm trying to say is that I can't give up because it's not over and I can still have a shot with this. Thanks, Will. We need more lighthearted people like you, man. I appreciate this.

And the same will go for my art skills. This is something I've wanted to get better at for the longest time and since I'm pretty much my own worst critic I stopped on and off over the years but now I will try my best to sketch everyday. Right now I'm sketching one of my favorite cars in different perspectives to study different perspectives. By the way, do you have like a video showcase of your subscribers displaying their art and you giving critique? I'd like to get some critique if it's not too much trouble.

"Just because you are born doesn't mean you have value." -Will Terrell I learn so much from these videos.

I really like your sense of humor, your laugh, make me laugh... I feel that you enjoy life and don't take it too seriously, it's a fresh air. And the music is very good too... Oh, by the way, you are so a very talent artist, thanks for sharing us your precious tips and "joie de vivre" 😊.

You are such a likable person! I wish i could be like you!

Thank you, sir. I applied your tip, and it works great, I sold my first drawing ever thanks to you and I am ever so grateful for this, none of my art teachers ever told me this. Faith in my art restored, THANK YOU!

I was expecting a cute little old lady feeding birds. I was so enchanted with your storytelling that I didn't realize until you added the tails what I was looking at! So I got a look at an artist at work, a life lesson and an art lesson, a great laugh, and loved it all. Thank you.

This is just awesome! It's therapeutic to watch you sketch! And the vibes you give off rock!

I just love that GREEN shirt! I have posted to my art journal group to watch your videos. I think they will inspire these budding artists. Thank you for doing these.

This is helping me shake off a creative rut. It's so simple, I know it, and I keep forgetting it. I read a tweet by Scott McCloud years ago that said "What you draw is more important than how you draw it." Yet I keep finding myself drawing random dull character poses... and I have the nerve to call myself a storyteller. Your video woke me up. Thanks.

Oh my goodnesss. This immediately helped me. You said tell a story and I was like. "Whut. Tell me more." And you did! And I got it! and then I drew a random little drawing, I started with a face then stopped and thought about what you said and made it into a lady in a winter coat with a bird on her finger saying "I can't take you home!" And now I'm crudely trying to compile my thanks into people words. So thank you. :) *I'm a female btw*

That was deep, Im a fan! your awesome Will.

You're a good soul, Will. This video is great!

You're laugh is the best laugh I've ever heard, just wanted to point that out. Thank you for your words of wisdom! Very helpful! Drastically improved my work!

you have no clue how much you made me aware of myself not particularly with this videos but with other videos as well. I really want to thank you. Since I dont draw traditional, mostly digital with a tablet, I decided to make a Folder with your name. I set myself the goal to fill that fucker up with drawings until it reaches a size of 1GB sketch/drawing-Material. Eventho I am anxious that I give up on it, like I do very often, I hope I can keep doing it untill I start to see improvements. Thank you

I really love this drawing and your tip. why? First I thought the old lady just wanted to feed the rats... that's cute, but... Then I saw she was giving them bird food, haha.... o wait.. is she almost blind? Haha, I wonder if the old lady thinks she's feeding birds.... The story really is funny

I watch your videos to learn to become a better artist and I always end up leaving with a Life lesson lol, good stuff man really dig your work keep up the good vibes.

My friend sent this video to me saying "You will love this." And Well... she was right. As fun as it was to see the little old lady come to life, it's even cooler to hear you tell your story. I'm an art student and everything you've shared hits very close to home! You have a new subscriber :)

Another great life lesson disguised as an art tip, and another cool sketch. I love your method of coloring & fleshing out the characters BEFORE inking the contours. It's a thrill to watch it all come together in the end.

I love your laugh man.

You are such an amazing person, watching your videos makes me happy and makes me want to finally start drawing :)

This guy deserves to be making alot of money. He is a light. You luminated my day Will. Im sure everywhere you go this happens. Thanks for the lesson.

You are one of my favourite artists I think I've ever had the pleasure of viewing. Your drawings are very entertaining, and your personality is so charismatic that I can't help but laugh alongside with you!

Wow this is...seriously encouraging. And it's advice I can actually follow. I love this! Thank you so much!

omg you are such a likable guy!!!!

Its a great feeling when you see someone using his talent to share a message of happiness. It encourages/inspires you to follow your own path and to find the key to your own sense of plenitude and from there, to share the joy of life through your gifts/talents with everyone/everything. Thank you, thanks for the storytelling & the advice.. Regards.

Very inspiring! And VERY true! Great sketches/art tutorials..and your laugh is completely contagious!!! LMAO!!! Never lose that!

Oh my god, your drawing, your ideas - which are soooo relevant - and laugh just lightened up my day (and possibly my drawings hehe) Thanks a loooot and keep on, you're truly inspiring and just so amazing!!!

Subbed, i loved him within a few seconds haha

@14:50...The start of tears. Thank you for this video man. Thank you for being you. Grateful for the insight and the motivation.

I watch a lot of art videos on KZread, including tutorials and you are by far the best teacher out of all of them. Your advice has made me a better artist and taught me to enjoy art again. Thank you!

lol I just love your laugh, it makes me laugh too xD

i hope you will always laugh my friend, you have the best giggles :D and keep up the good works.

Thank you very much. When you made the point about valuing yourself it really hit close to home. I've never thought my work was ever worth it. I'm working on that. I went to school for animation and in my demo reel I used the song "Loser" by Beck as the background music. I've seriously just lived a devalued life. But I'm learning and I'm growing. I'm getting back into my sketch book day by day. I've become terribly rusty, what I used to do before in ten minutes is taking me much longer. But I want and I need to get better for me. I went to school thinking that when I came out I'd be some amazing wonderful artist and I'd have it all figured out. Well that's not the case and what I really love about you is your enjoyment for learning. We have to keep learning no matter who we are or how far we've gotten. Thank you for this video and your other amazing videos. Hope you have a great day!

This wasn't just tips or an art lesson, this was a video full of life lessons. Thank you.

First off, "ya'll," is a perfectly useful word. Second, this must be the psychology-help channel for artist. In short, subscribed. Nice videos and nice art.

Wow, this was right on time. Ive been praying latley on what to do with my gifts and if I or what I do even matters. Hearing you speak on value has put things in better perspective. I haven't been watching your videos long but I appreciate the time you take to do them, plus every time you laugh i feel lighter lol 😅 Your the man Will Terrell, never change.

Drew 10 pages in my monthly A5 journal thanks to this video. This, and your most recent videos, help me focus on what matters and where I want to keep heading. It's all an accumulation of mistakes and missteps that lead you to success. Thank you for the videos. ^_^

i thought this surely would have to be a click grabbing title and there's no quick fix for instantly better drawings but it's very true. my older drawings were all focused on stories, and my most recent ones as i've practiced are more technical. i was wondering why i used to get more of a response from my old drawings ! thanks will.

Now I really want to buy some markers... Damn.

eloisaanguiano this is exactly what I wanted to say!

I think I'm going to live by "what's the story behind your picture?" It has so much meaning!

***** It takes practice. Start off redrawing referance images as close you can. Once you feel you have the structure of the subject down, put it all away and start drawing from memory. Dont worry if it's off, simply draw. Then try drawing it in another pose or from another viewpoint. But by all means, when you're drawing from memory, draw in YOUR STYLE. Not anyone else's. And over time and with practice, you'll be able to draw any pose/item you wish. But it will not happen over night. Hope this helps

Thanks hopefully this makes me better for my dream job at Pixar

Hey man :D How's that dream going?

I was looking for comforting words in KZread since I haven't felt like drawing for a very long time. And suddenly remembered this exact video from so many years ago. The old lady feeding rats and amazing advice. And it was as good as I remembered it to be. Thank you Will.

Everything you say is beautiful, man. You're like the laughing Buddha of illustrators. Humour, insight, kindness and great skill - you have it all. Thanks so much for this.

my sculpture teacher say once: THERE IS NO SECRETS IN THE ART WORLD, THE ONLY SECRET IS WORKING HARD

This tip.. its super obvious but I mean how many people REALLY think about that? I honestly knew this in my subconsciousness, but I never really applied it much.

My brother sent me this video after I posted some art online. I love to create characters, but I find it hard to communicate why I love them so much! This video really helped a lot, I'm going to focus more on sketching stories! Thanks for all the advice!

The expression on her face is. PRICELESS.

Wow, you are OSM! Personally I think you are the greatest KZread artist. In your videos, the way you explain how to draw things or just showing us what you have done recently, make us really want to draw! You are funny, enthusiastic with your work, you're not like the other YT artist who just explain "art in general" in their tutos (not all of them of course :) ) , you say your personal opinion etc.. I talked too much :-\ Anyway, keep on the good work Will :D PS: what's your coloring tool in your vid?

eloisaanguiano Um...noooo...you missed it...they're not birds, they're RATS, she can't SEE

I make my characters and write books with them. Since WattPad is just a website to post stories, there was no way to enter the complete character ref sheets or illustrations. So now, I just illustrate the books in my sketch book. It means nothing to others, but to me, I see the backstory, I see all the interaction. I'm not sure if others think it's good, but I spend a long time to make the stories and pictures, and maybe some people can see the story. (I just spent a whole week to do a digital art project that was a remake of a drawing I did one year ago, as a Halloween digital drawing.)

This is exactly the advice I needed right now. I LOVE your little old lady. She's adorable. Your laugh is infectious.

I like to think that she thinks shes feeding birds.

I recently discovered your channel and I love your videos and your art. I think it's because you follow your own advice. Thanks for sharing your stories, your drawings, and your humor! Makes my day better and brighter!

I Love your art / illustrations and stories! Never ever too long!!!

You're so entertaining ! Love your laughter and your philosophy of art and life! Bless you!

@Will Terrell Lol! I love the grandma and the rats, it's great! And thanks for that video, I haven't drawn in so long out of being bored of almost having the same feeling over and over again about the results. Your video about creating a story with your art and making them with a goal to make a connection with others through emotion has inspired me to start up again! :)

Can we just talk about how adorable your giggle is for a second?

I'm so happy to have discovered you today!! Thank you so very much for sharing your gifts. I'll be watching all of your videos!

Your illustrations are great, and I love having your videos playing in the background while I draw. You've given me so many new ideas and a lot of perspective on what it actually means to be a professional artist. Thank you for doing what you do!

I've been working m way through this playlist and other videos of yours, they are the BEST! Not just sketching help but LIFE advice too. I've found both are helping me through a difficult time and put a smile on my face! Addicted to your channel, bless you!

Yep, Picasso is a great storyteller, just like you are saying. Thank you so much for not only sharing your knowledge but also sharing your value to us. I like you say that everyone deserve to be loved, and everyone has their own gifts to love others. This means a lot to me. Thank you:）Keep smiling ~

I love how you crack yourself up. It makes the videos so much more fun and approachable.

you've helped me more than you know. Something literally just clicked, I was trying to figure why my drawings all seem so stiff, rough, and all in all not very good. After watching this and the tips for getting better at drawing, you've helped me develop a great style and I look forward to growing even more so. Thank you so much, Mr. Terrell.

You make me smile. Just hearing your words of wisdom and seeing you laugh at that lovely old lady is euphoric. I take your advice to heart and tip my hat to you, sir. Amazing advice, really.

I watched this video about a year ago and I've really taken the message to heart. Thank you so much for sharing this tip!

I find a lot of comfort knowing that I can come watch your videos whenever I need a boost with my art because your advice is so relevant and you seem like such a genuinely wonderful person. This is one of those videos that just hits me home in a few spots and I sort of get emotional and tear up a bit. You're a wonderful teacher! I hope to meet you in person one day.

Came across this so many years ago. I had it saved somewhere in my KZread playlists and it was a joy to rewatch this again. I became interested in the arts when I was trying to figure out my post-secondary schooling and I'm studying graphic design now. You're totally right. Telling stories is something i've tried to remember and it makes everything so much more interesting and enjoyable. Thanks Will!

For some reason I rarely find drawing videos that are enlightening like this one. Thank you! This method actually makes drawing fun.

I love your tip, it reminded me of a video I watched a while ago about how to improve your memory by adding a story to a object. I also love your character. You have inspired me to start sketching once again, so thank you for your videos!

This was so great. I never new all that stuff about a story to go with your pictures. Not even sure if i totally understand how to do it. but i am really loving your characters and your wealth of knowledge. It is really pushing me out of my comfort zone. Thank you!

Thanks for that reminder! I was watching another video from you and then just started sketching and let KZread-autoplay lead me here; but yeah, that reminder about telling a story was much appreciated and lead to the best sketch so far. I'll try to keep it in mind from here on!

I found your channel about a week ago and I am now watching your whole people sketching series because I LOVE it and I am so inspired by your work as an artist 🎨🖤 keep sharing!

This is easily the best art advice I have ever heard. I need to apply this immediately. Thank you for this.

Uncle Raggy brought me here with a shout out.... Loved the way you created this and the commentary with it. You are a very good artist and like you say a story with a picture means so much to people. If I bought a painting I wanna tell people about the painting, the artist, and how I got the painting... Love the little old lady.... Bravo

Thank you so much for all the videos, the messages you give about conquering ego and giving joy with your art has profoundly improved my attitude towards my own art. Often times you mention you're rambling or you think you're making the videos too long, but I'd definitely encourage you to rant and record as long as you possibly can! It's great to listen to while creating my art!
