I like to imagine Dan tripping with a pencil and catching himself with the pencil tip on a piece of paper, and then proceeded to draw Phineas in extreme detail
@Orange Nostril In other words, hundreds of us expected the joke to end one way. And the OP veered at the last second. The other guy wrote what we were ALL thinking, Bruh.
@Wuvumgywgy ! right now, i do paper comics with this little dude, basically in the art style of object shows he's a pumpkin with limbs named Jack O. yes, Jack-O Landern. planning to make a game (first), then show (2nd) in like 2030 or some sh*t if we survive. Kinda like Cuphead.
@Eljay MenesesLeonardo DaVinci took a whole 12 years or 4 years to complete Monalisa, not because procrastinating but because he was a slow worker and put effort on thought. A prove that art need time not to rush. Edit: idk who i originally wrote this for.
You have to appreciate people like Dan. He's a real go-getter. While he was developing this idea that would become one of the best kid's shows of all time a lot of people were letting life go by day after day never reaching out for something better. I mean, myself for example, in 1993 I wasn't doing anything with my life. Heck. The only thing I did that year was be born. Man, if only I had that time back.
I'm really convinced everyone has great ideas throughout there life that could make a significant impact on the world but the difference between people who are successful and notable and those who aren't has mostly to do with follow through and commitment. Just imagine how easy it would've been for him to be like "huh cool charactr" then throw it away and proceed about his day. That great series would've never been born and we'd never know who he is. Imagine how many great concepts, stories, and ideas are thought up and thrown away.
OMG that tutorial is SO OLD!!! I stumbled upon it when I was a child and tried to learn how to draw Phineas from it!!! You unlocked a memory I forgot I had!!
If I could time travel, I would love to see him doodle this out, the birth of one of my fav tv shows as a kid, life is getting harder and sometimes I wish I could go back, I never will but this reminds me of simpler times
"That was like 1993 so that was a while ago." Doesn't that mean he spent 13 years pitching the show before it got accepted by Disney? A lot of online sources say it was 16 years. (Of course, that could be another online theory that Dan is debunking.)
That's incredible! 1993! I wasn't even born yet! Honestly, I'm sort of glad the show wasn't aired until so much later because then, I was able to enjoy it during my childhood!
@Rowan404 just kidding but seriously, I’m not that old..I’m on the youngest side of that spectrum but I’m far from being a kid anymore. I suggested you have some alternative to make money because I was like you too, and if I had gotten used to doing uncomfortable things like working retail instead of telling myself I was too good for any of that, I wouldn’t be in the situation I’m in now, which is unemployed and still living off my parents. There were a lot of painful years where I had basically no money. You should avoid that lol.
@Unit 02 My parents are my benefactors. I don't really care about financial independence as my parents are still alive and well and I have a good relationship with them. They had some money set aside for me to go to college, but, since I'm not going to, that's just more for my inheritance! They'll even let me inherit my childhood home once I save up $10,000. Speaking of inheritance, my great grandma died when I was 4 and left me $5000, and I'll have access to that and interest when I turn 18 in about 3 months. However, I am still working on a temporary way to make money. As I said, I don't like being bossed around, so I wouldn't want to work a traditional part-time job (customer service in particular would be a nightmare for me as I would then be bossed around by customers too), but I'm working on a demo reel in hopes of landing a few small voice acting gigs. Anyways, I'm curious: What do you do for a living? Do you have a college degree, seeing as you're a millennial?
@Rowan404 I would recommend you get a part time job at least just to help you like, survive…unless you have a benefactor in which case, great. But the sooner you have financial independence from your family the better
@Rowan404 I didn’t say you were, just people your age. And it’s not a recommendation either. If you have the vision to make your dreams come true then go for it. There are so many ways to go about it nowadays.
It's absolutely insane to me how long Phineas and Ferb existed as a concept before becoming a real show. The show premiered when I was 9, but these drawings were done before I was even born
The funniest part to me is that there’s a restaurant that gives out crayons and paper to their adult patrons. Honestly a pretty cool idea I wish more places did that.
I don’t think he was intentionally dismissing it, I think it likely wasn’t worded the best. I took it more as “one of the most recognizable cartoon characters of our generation wasn’t originally drawn with that purpose” which is pretty rad, and makes me slightly more hopeful about projects I’ve got laying around I don’t really have a plan for - some of the best things weren’t made with a clear plan.
I like thinking about stuff like this when I see people being so gatekeepey on how you have to plan and structure your stories and develop your characters. You don’t need to pull out a character template every time you create a character if that doesn’t work for you. Sometimes great ideas come from unexpected places like this.
The perspective is insightful, thanks man. I’m not an artist in that way. But sounds like sometimes your work can take time to flourish and sometimes ideas simply flourish. While waiting for food sometimes, hmm. Back to cutting. ;(
You know I got it sir I have a lot of respect for you I watched your show going up a lot as a kid I was born in 2004 and you know as a kid and the show was pretty dope and going back and watching it now that I'm older it's still pretty awesome he's 104 days and summer vacation I'll tell you how I'm spending them I'm binge watching all the original seasons of Phineas and Ferb you remind me of a modern Walt Disney just want to thank you for all the awesome memories and have a chill summer vacation dude
There's a hundred and four days of summer vacation, and school comes along just to end it! so the annual problem for our generation is finding a good way to spend it, like maybe! Building a rocket, or fighting a mummy, or climbing up the Eiffel Tower. Discovering something that doesn't exist, hey! or giving a monkey a shower. Surfing tidal waves, creating nanobots, and locating Frankenstein's brain, its over here! Finding a dodo bird, painting a continent, and driving your sister insane, PHiniaS! As you can see, there's a whole lot of stuff to do before school starts this fall, so stick with us cus Phineas and Ferb are going to do it aaall. So stick with us cus Phineas and Ferb are going to do it aall. "MO-OM, Phineas and Ferb are making a title sequence!"
Took 14 years for it to get the pilot out? That’s some discipline and dedication on the creators side of the show. Aka this guy, Dan Povenmire.. Nice work brother! I love this side of social media, how these “creators” can go onto make these small clips, now we have this clip to have Reference as to when how and even wear that it was created, so we got it from the horses mouth as they say.
I love that Dan does TikTok/TRvid shorts it’s like I grew up with his show and now that I’m an adult I get to enjoy the mind of the creator of one of my favorite childhood shows kinda the same thing with Hank Green
I’ve watched most of your Tik Toks and strangely have never even heard of Phineas and Ferb. I often feel like I’m in a separate reality due to how massive this show was and me never having heard of it.
That would be a hell of a story though "I was walking in my room with a pencil when I tripped. When I got up I noticed a piece of paper on the floor with a sketch. I must've accidentally drawn it but it looked so good I decided to draw more characters and bring it to work today to share"
Imagine if they didn't gave him a crayon, the show would've likely still came out, but the possibility of the characters designs being altered are high.
