Where can i find his art work?

well said !!

backgrounds are definitely my weakness

@@slugpiccolo_ danbooru lol

Yes and no, the first thing I learned to draw was the face like, realistic portraits. And for years I only knew how to draw the face even when drawing anime, I can't draw anything from the neck down but last year I started working on my fundamentals and anatomy and I'm still currently working on it.

​@@niroxiousyour "working on it" is better than anything I can do!

@@niroxiousreminds me a lot of how I was when I started. Used to just draw faces and ignore practicing bodies. Started traditional but made a ton of progress when I switched to digital. A few months of progress on an ipad outpaced several years of pen and paper by a substantial magnitude.

@@niroxioushey that’s a lot like me lol, although I didn’t deep dive into realism and just ended up developing a style, I’m good with faces but suck below that, what would you recommend for working on anatomy?

​@@niroxiousNice! Also same I just started my anatomy journey after only knowing how to draw faces for years

I feel u broski. 😫

I am also very logical in my approach to art, which generally makes drawing more difficult, In some ways. Since I have to fundamentally understand all the inner workings of something before I am able to draw it correctly. Since I can’t just look at shapes and create the same thing like a lot of other creatives. However, this approach also makes you much more keen to detail and form. And adds a new layer of detail to your work where you can hone in on so many things that other people don’t.

I don't believe you actually differ from many artists. Using fundamentals in a logical/analytical way is key to understanding how things work, planning every aspect is the reason idea boards exist (detailed ones or not). Though you are unique as every artist is, separating yourself and calling yourself defiant for the way many artist approach creating is a bit naïve of you. Being technical is not about the way you create, but the way you practice and improve as an artist. Even those who free flow their art need that foundation to be good at it. Though I don't doubt you are an amazing artist, no one art style is completely the same, nor do most of them just "feel" how to create masterpieces or anatomy (etc). I hope you understand in no way am I trying to offend you but just explain that you are very much not the only one nor alone, and that many artist are defiant of many things. Learn to support all different kinds of styles, try to be humble and you will see beauty in all of them. I hope your day or night is lovely! 😊

@@spoony8485 I agree with your comment to a point. I myself am someone who usually just free flows my art, not thinking too much. Though I am very able to watch my details. Not every person who has a loose art style, in fact most actually can focus on small details but choose not to due to style preference. I do agree that with "beginner artist" there may be this difference, but the longer and more time you spend refining your art, the more many tend to stray from realism or complete technicality as their base. Many artist crave that style, many don't. It is in bad taste to assume many artist that have rough sketching or creation styles do not know how to look or add detail as well as you or any other might. Art is about being unique yes, but fundamentals are the true core as art imitates life with either real or surrealistic concepts. You are unique, but not just because you can see detail, and add many complexities to your art, these are fundamentals, you are unique because you choose to seek that technicality in your work. I'm sure your art is beautiful, but you are not unique for the fact you see what most artists need to see in order to create art, your choice in the fact that you want your art a certain way is what hakes you unique, it is not the technicality that makes one unique, but the way they use it. Many can not just create by looking at something and copying it, you need to study it, that is why study exists, to learn how it works. I hope your day or night is wonderful, I hope creating brings you joy, and that you gain something from my comment.

@@Milos_spac3 I think you misinterpreted my comment a lil. When I say details, I don’t mean details in the visual sense, like sitting down and adding “details” to your art for 5 hours. I mean details in proper anatomical forms, or perspective, or composition ect. Like, for example, how you can immediately pick up on whether a hand or joint is out of place (and whether it was intentional to the style or not, too). Or noticing when something is out of perspective in reference to the rest of the image. Stuff like that. Obviously, creatives learn and do know this stuff, and can notice it too. But it isn’t nessicary that you learn them in order to draw something “correctly” (or at least in a way that looks correct to you). But when you think logically, you HAVE to learn these things, or else your art won’t function and will always look incorrect to you. At least in comparison. For example, alot of tutorials teach drawing things in simple forms, like cylinders and boxes. A lot of people I’ve spoken to that do art also view things this way, in how they like to simplify the forms before drawing them in order to keep them proportionate. This has never actually worked for me, unless I know the underlying details. Such as, I need to know the size and distance that certain limbs are, or else I will draw them too long or too short. I need to know where the muscles are, so I can keep the form consistent. Like, unless I am explicitly told how something works and all of its inner workings I will draw it wrong. But, this makes your art both more consistent and more structured, once you finally get it. Like hands, for me. I can draw hands pretty consistently and pretty accurately because I studied them in depth. I learned the placements of everything and how those things connect. Their size in relation to other parts, so I can draw them consistently and notice when it’s not correct. Like I said before, it’s not that creatives don’t know this or don’t learn these things, it’s just that, as a logical thinker, you HAVE to know them. You can’t get by with purely referencing other work. You have to know the inner workings or it will never look right.

Some sacrifices have to be made, but it's doable.

This is what I’ve done and it has helped me a lot.

Dumb question how do you study art do you just draw what you see?

​@@Aniologi Yes I would like to study too but I am not sure what and how should I study. More so how exactly and what should I do to maximize learning without burning out.

@@Aniologi Find something you think you need to improve on, For example, let's say you wanna get better at drawing the head. Learn the structure and how to simplify it with simple shapes (ex. loomis method). Now find a reference and draw it while applying what you learned by simplifying it first before applying the details.

@@rbsalmon7895 ah i see thank you

@@yuomovaeh3028 this exactly

bro needs his bag.

The perspective is very important, even for characters! It may not seem like a big difference, but it will make the characters feel more real and present in the scene. For color and shading the best idea is to copy from the artworks that you like. Try to replicate the same effect. Watching speed paintings may be useful too.

well it comes down to drawing alot if u want to get good fas at least draw 3 hours a day it not that much wen u get into the time flys. some people even draw 8 to 10 hors a day

you likely dont draw the body enough choosing to stick to the upper half because thats the part you feel safe drawing. I can draw full body people all right not were i want but alright but Im terrible at drawing buildings, cars, weapons and so on because i dont draw them enough.

4 years is a reasonable time to get gud at most things. There's not-really-a-rule of 10.000 hours of practicing/learning to be good enough at anything. If we use the standard 8hrs of work per day, it's gonna be 3 years. But it applies when you actually practice+learning, during my experience (in both uni and work place) many people they just draw without thinking. They dont break down the stuff they doing into fundamentals. I called it the mindless process which i try to avoid always. The struggle you feel in most cases should be the result of this mindless process, where you just draw what you like and come up in your head but dont try to think about how, what, why, where etc... questions. That lead to many years of doing stuff without actual grow

The effect of time spent on any skill can be affected by how focused you are in your studies. I can definitely see someone getting this good in 4 years if they really put in serious and concentrated study into it.

@@williammclean6594 It's about practicing efficiently. You have to know what you're actually practicing or else you're just wasting your time blindly. Perfect practice not practice makes perfect folks!

same, my art looks like a toddler’s doodle when i see their art😭

could you leave some here/tell me some? trying to improve my art : D

​@@midarch Sure! I hope YT doesn't block this... I can recommend these channels: @oridays @tppoart @hidechannel2 @hidechannel2nd @saitonaoki2 @marcobucci @yakimayuru @minimarucomic @YTartschool @dduckkong @kuroi0 . Some are tutorials, some show the process. Hide is great for anatomy and posing, Marco Bucci for color and fundamentals. Once you watch a lot of Japanese stuff, YT will start recommending similar content and maybe you will discover more. Good luck!

@@yavnrhMy Brother/Sisterr you are the goat 🙏

@@yavnrh i love you ": D

That's the reason I don't want to take some of those courses because I have learning disabilities and ADHD and I don't think I could learn very well from someone talking a foreign language and me having to read subtitles pausing it every couple minutes. Usually when I'm doing video courses I like to play it at two times speed because a lot of courses are like 40 hours long and I couldn't do that if they weren't speaking English.

Pretty much, each person has their own approach to things, no right or wrong. Doing case studies like this helps u understand different methods and apply it to your own style if u see fit, just pick the parts that suits your own method rather than trying to do the exact same thing.

yeah that prodigy comment felt weird cus some people pick up certain aspects faster than others. but it all varies. talent is where you start not where you go

kinda cringe but use ur killer instinct too

They start from beginner to pro, and as long the program u are using have the same tools they use, u are fine. I guess

if you're surrounded by only one kind of people, you know no other one, and it' extremely hard to imagine something completely new, so all the characters turn out to be bland and boring copycats of eaachother And also, it comed down to the level of writing skills, kinda, because character creators are essentially trying to get a people to believe in a thing that doesnt exist, like a magitian, but without rabbits and pigeons

@@_just_an_garlic_bread_ true. I guess it comes naturally to me because I read a lot and I'm really curious so I know about a lot of different personality types. I'm also big on MBTI. I'm an INFJ :p

I struggle with digital painting, I can't understand the layer formats, I can only draw digitally painting how I do traditionally, then removing any muddy areas by painting on a separate layer with some harsher lines.

I'm just that antisocial to the point I don't really know how to describe myself, so is basically impossible to me to imagine people and describe them. Buuut I have analyzed tons of videogames and anime characters 💀

@@shaii5526 Just some ideas below to try help :) Try thinking about the traits, mannerisms that your either weary of, don't like and list them down like loud, snobby, profanity, violence, bullying, tattoo's, messy,dancing etc.. Then do the list on the things you like about people and what makes you comfortable not worrying about others thoughts like people sharing videos, cats, magic, science, silence etc. I might have listed some in the like where you don't like and vice versa which is all good they were just examples to try help you on the way :) Then list your fav gaming and anime characters traits and the ones you hate too for whatever reasons i.e poorly written, OP, unrealistic, cool or ugly hair style, design. Then have some fun mixing the traits from the list above. It will be easy for you to see when characters have been copied too much since you've analyzed character traits from games and anime.

Unfortunately I just gotta say that it's mostly practice!! Try doing warmup exercises as well, you really just need to practice to get more confident with your lines unfortunately T-T

Stop comparing yourself to others specially to people with much more experience than you, that's just not fair, i mean you're comparing the current you, the inexperienced one to people who worked more than you did so far. Change your perspective, instead of thinking "I'm not as good as them" change it to "someday I'll be good as them". Just my personal experience when i had that mindset too

​@@lollmaoniceI don't know what to do to learn I don't understand anything if I should copy from others, I don't know the basics so I don't understand what I'm supposed to see in the drawings of others to learn I already bought the coloso course, I also bought another from Chyan

@@sakisan5990 i also had that experience where i don't know where to start and starting with anatomy instead of form and perspective is a mistake, atleast from my experience, i improved a lot when i sticked with forms and perspective and that also improved my anatomy/figure drawing because i can see more shapes than i used to. As for copying, yes you should copy from others but you don't mindlessly copy things, you should evaluate why things goes like that and it's easier to do if you have a good grasp of fundamentals which is the forms and perspective

no you don't you can use csp as well
