His animation style is simple and clean and he often uses his recognizable persona to represent himself, as he does in his Art Vs Artist video, which has garnered over 1.6 million video views:\n\n<iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/L9B-SC5XE4A\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe>\n\nHis <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/user\/123pendejos\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">YouTube channel<\/a> was originally called \u2018123pendejos\u2019 (vulgar Spanish slang for \u2018fool\u2019; I\u2019ll leave it to you to google the literal translation), but as his online presence grew, David decided to change the name to Sr Pelo, the nickname his best friends bestowed upon him.

He explained his motivation for using his unique humor in his videos. \u201cWhen someone grows up, life turns into a grey world with all sorts of problems. For me, humor is something that can make you happy in those grey times; it is a way to laugh at our problems and fears. When we confront and laugh at them we weaken them, till we finally solve them or stop caring about them at all.\u201d\n\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-526\" src=\"https:\/\/wcm-ws-wordpress-webapp-community.azurewebsites.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/40\/2019\/01\/srpelocute-1024x575.png\" alt=\"cute\" width=\"1024\" height=\"575\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/community.wacom.com\/en-us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/40\/2019\/01\/srpelocute-1024x575.png 1024w, https:\/\/community.wacom.com\/en-us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/40\/2019\/01\/srpelocute-300x168.png 300w, https:\/\/community.wacom.com\/en-us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/40\/2019\/01\/srpelocute-768x431.png 768w, https:\/\/community.wacom.com\/en-us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/40\/2019\/01\/srpelocute-1536x863.png 1536w, https:\/\/community.wacom.com\/en-us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/40\/2019\/01\/srpelocute-1080x607.png 1080w, https:\/\/community.wacom.com\/en-us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/40\/2019\/01\/srpelocute-1280x719.png 1280w, https:\/\/community.wacom.com\/en-us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/40\/2019\/01\/srpelocute-980x550.png 980w, https:\/\/community.wacom.com\/en-us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/40\/2019\/01\/srpelocute-480x270.png 480w, https:\/\/community.wacom.com\/en-us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/40\/2019\/01\/srpelocute.png 1770w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/>\n<h3>Wacom in his workflow<\/h3>\nSr Pelo uses a Wacom Intuos Pro in his videos because it helps him to make things fast and allows him to add nice details and styles to his art. \u201cThe tablet allows me to make smooth illustrations and turn sketches into fast compositions.

YouTube scans video content to determine whether it meets their advertiser-friendly content guidelines. A green $ means that videos can be monetized, but a yellow one means that limited ads or no ads are allowed. \u201cNo one knows what is \"bad\" for ads, so I play the guessing game. YouTube is built for quantity and not quality. You never really know if you\u2019re sharing a video to all your subscribers or if your video is being blocked to certain people.
