I wanted to keep this vid as short as possible cause personally i learned quicker from shorter tutorials. So, apologies for the whack explanation for everything :’)) i left links in the desc for more helpful tutorials 👍👍 Also sry i didn't emphasize it in the video, but pls dont be afraid to post referenced works :)) i know that the og artists are not entitled to the poses they draw but just think of leaving credit in the description as an act of gratitude. it only takes seconds to copy paste a link from where you referenced from + it'll save u from getting attacked by ppl (sadly there are many who attack artists for referencing so i just learned to adapt). PLEASE don't be discouraged to reference aaaaaaa ok bye

U ARE SO CORRECT W THE LAYERS !! i'm 5 months in to digital art and when i first started, i had way too many layers. like one for lineart, base color, shading, highlight, and every tinyy part of the drawing, and i could not keep track of them 😵 then i had the idea of not giving a f with lineart and merging all the layers together. it was magic! and very freeing :D drawing digitally now feels and looks like painting in oil and i love it so much

This video gives me hope for the newest and future generation of artists. It's so nice seeing a young artist like yourself giving importance to the real essential things. Don't waste time, more isn't always better, be respectful of other artists, learn to observe and translate into your own lines instead of mindlessly replicating. Really, great advice.

the editing is really clean and your art look so cool i think tracing is good for breaking down drawings into simpler shapes but love the tips :DD

@Meepfinch 5 ай бұрын

Tracing can be quite useful if you trace shapes instead of lines. What I mean by this is instead of blindly tracing lineart, try to find cylinders, spheres, lines of action in a drawing. Try to figure out how it works, deconstruct it! I used to do this sometimes when I started studying art and it personally helped me. This is a great video btw!

the thing i learnt is that practice doesnt make perfect if you arent practicing the rgiht way. I drew every day for 17 years, and practiced so often. Yet my friends who only drew once a month was way better. Drawing everyday just makes you better at drawing faster as now i can draw super fast. But if you are drawing everyday but not actually trying to change the way you draw like if you are blind to mistakes then you arent gonna improve. I never knew that i should flip the canvas, i never knew how to make my art look more 3d ect all i did was draw everyday. So the key thing to drawing is practicing the right way not just practicing

(DISCLAIMER: Anything I talk about here does NOT mean trace other artists artwork. You can trace them as a study BUT NEVER claim them as your own and never post them) I just want to put this out here but it's absolutely okay to trace images from real life. For example, let's say you have a hand pose in mind - there is nothing wrong with taking a photo of your own hand and tracing it. You're making art more enjoyable for you that way. Personally, I trace over 3D clip studio paint models. There is nothing wrong with it, PLENTY of artists do this. It makes art quick and fast and allows people to focus on coloring. Also tracing helps you improve your skills. Eventually, you trace the same thing over and over and you start to notice things about the anatomy. Before I started using the 3D models I would find a photo reference and trace the shapes of that photo and try to draw it on my own as a way of learning the anatomy and getting familiar with shapes. If you want to learn anatomy I highly recommend youtuber Marc Brunet as his anatomy tutorials are super helpful.

one of the hardest things for me to accept in doing art was, strangely, that using references/tracing to learn was not cheating. when i actually started studying art more seriously, i realized that tracing to learn was actually extremely helpful. although, of course, as you said, artists should never post traced art if it isn't for the sole purpose of learning from reference pictures or other artists.

@swisdom9117 11 ай бұрын

Lots of good points in this video. What I’m going to start doing (and what I’ll advise others to do as well) is to make a reference board of sorts. Eg. compile the types of hair drawings/coloring/shading you like from multiple artists and keep it in one place. You can do this for other aspects too, like lineart, eye coloring and skin shading etc. I feel like my progress is slow mostly because I don’t do enough style study. Gotta fix that. I’d love to know how OP studies from their fav artists. Also, you say use references and I 100% advocate for that, but how do artists make ….. nvm. I think I got it. It all comes down to using a bunch of different references and art style studies and compiling it into your work as you see it

Keep in mind that the step about minimizing your layers works for some styles, but not for all, so if you find yourself unable to do it, don't stress over it. A lot of character painters like this artist are able to cut down to one layer or work off a sketch, but for example if you're a comic or cartoon artist, of course you're gonna want a crisp lineart and to not put everyone's colors on one layer initially, because trying to fix one character might mess up everyone.
