So this weeks recommendation is a little odd. Drawing Tutorials Online is this website / YouTube channel that I have been following on and off for over five years now. The odd bit is that I've watched literally hours of videos from these guys and I still haven't actually seen a single tutorial.
I always end up caught in this loop watching the sketchbook videos of the students. There's a lot to be picked up from looking at the different tools and techniques they're using and the kinds of assignments they have to turn in.
It might just be my perspective, but I find it more motivational to see a younger person building on their talent than watching an industry veteran show off twenty or more years of experience. Don't get me wrong, the talent in most of these sketchbook videos blows anything I can produce out of the water.
Seeing younger people who have just started their artistic careers putting out that level of quality is inspirational to me. I'll set my sights on drawing at Joe Mad or J Scott's level when I'm ten or twenty years down the road.
If you're not sure where to start, I recommend these two students as an introduction to the channel:
Spencer's Sketchbook and Allan's Sketchbook
