_ Voyager _ easier for painting though

I use so many layers like tf Update: A year after this comment I started painting on one layer. I have become fearless and am no longer burdened with looking through to find a mistake on a layer I can’t find. April 2022 update: It’s been a while, i never realized how many people have been replying and liking this comment, so thank you!! I’m 17 right now, almost turning 18. I was 14 I think when I wrote this comment, which is crazy to think about! It being pre covid and all.. Because I’m in college now, I don’t draw as much as I used to and I wish I had more patience for it. I’m not as fearless as I once was, so I don’t colour right over my sketches on the same layer anymore, but after I have added the rough colouring under my sketch (so 1 sketching layer and one colouring layer), I do turn off the sketch layer and just paint on the colouring layer. I hope that’s not too confusing. I don’t use lineart and I never have, so it’s not really a technique I recommend for all artists out there! Anyway, I want to thank you all for being so kind and interested in my journey. I feel really welcome, which is something I’ve been missing for a while. I wish you guys the best.

It keeps things tidy!

_ Voyager _ Shit, i think the same

Sas Ass she did before: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/odWnf92Z1rLLj6c.html Though it seems it's in a different style

What if I don't want to lmfao

You can't condense the entire process of painting into a single tutorial. Painting requires intimate knowledge of how light and color works, it has nearly nothing to do with the raw technique. There are thousands of painting videos already, look up Marco Bucci. Stop looking for guides that teach you 'quick cheats' or only teach one style, learn the fundamentals

Tutorials can be very helpful when looking for new techniques to put into your art. Of course you cannot condense all your knowledge and experience into one video, but you can still give an overview of your technique, which can be incredibly helpful. A tutorial can also teach the basics of lighting and color as well, and working that in with how one applies that to their own art makes for a pretty good tutorial, or just example video. Assuming someone wants a tutorial for 'quick cheats' is incredibly presumptuous. Also, painting in general does not truly require much knowledge at all, much less 'intimate knowledge'. If you can hold a paint brush, or a tablet pen if digital art, you're already halfway there, and you generally gain skill the more you paint. Of course it helps to know color theory and how lighting works from the get go, but it is by no means a requirement. The way you worded that was so intimidating-- like doing art or painting was some impossible feat. Yes it will take many years to become skilled, but it's really not that dramatic.

HiMyNameIsWeirdo Uhhh hey there, bud, I think you meant to say "condescending" instead of "condensing" lmaoo,.. two different things You can't say what that person's saying isn't true though. You can't show your art style in a single video, it's close to impossible. If you want to know the details, the fundamentals are important, even if it sounds boring. That person might have sounded a bit "ticked off," but that's probably because there are too many people who are requesting for tutorials on "how you paint," instead of maybe tutorials of a certain something.

Cat lady I dont even know dude @-@

Kurai I’m confused why people keep saying this. Clearly she she is looking at us. The white dot is her pupils. It’s a cool effect. I don’t know if she blind or what but it’s art so might as well make the eyes cool

Tweedle Dee Yeah, i know but for me, I thought of Hinata Hyuuga while looking at it and the whites of the eye make it look like Hinata’s eyes, y’know? So yee

owo

She looks like hinata

Me toooo!

Sht me too

It is?

Dani Salabao same 😂

Hinata-sama

I actually thought that this comment was really adorable, I find it cute how you thought that this was such a wonder(to you it is) and I find it adorable and beautiful that the small things will make you happy :)

@@PinkConcrete aww thank you so much you've made my day haha💕 appreciating things is even more important now. I didn't expect the world to fall into shambles like this... I hope your doing okay during these times

Piola

Did you watch it this year?

haha ur so sweet

I know, but the miniature is barely visible; 3 (I talk about that I recognized her because of the drawing in the miniature, I had not seen the signature yet)

Wuts a commissioner?

The person that commissions the artist to draw something for them. The person buying the art the artist makes for them. :)

Mmmmmh

@@teneleven5134 The person who pays for the art to be created

Same here lol , i though she was looking away but she is not

Tbh it's really cool

... I guess she's ne

I like it fkkfkdldn

jooli 1221 I guess the eyes is giving us an illusion whether it's looking at us or not (probably because of the color since it almost matches the white making it look confusing) but overall it's pretty cool :D

craaziifox nah, a lot pf people are actually using it, specifically those who are more into anime

Is there a way to use sai without a tablet?

She isn't looking at is nor the left (in front of her) but on the right side, almost little bit behind her. Do you all lack so much observation or what

@@skeletoninyourbody9896 the yellow tinted part is the iris (the colored part of the eye) and the purple tinted part is the sclera (the white of the eye)

@@fish_envy No. In the reference, the pupils are the lightest shade, making it so she's looking away

I wish to be close to this good too - at the moment i feel so far off it feels like I'll never achieve it! It's hard to get motivated too when im not confident in my skills - but I wish you good luck, you'll get there ( ^ w ^ )/ follow your passion!

@@studionatsukashii1178 i forgot I even made this comment 😂 here is an update of where I am now: 1. I gave up my license and do not have any intentions of returning back to that (very abusive) field, especially bedside nursing. 2. Since January 2020, I have been doing digital and traditional art ontop of my main job as a writer. My lines aren't as clean yet, but I did notice certainty and confidence in my strokes. The trick was to practice the same poses several times in a day so that my mind and muscle memory can retain the knowledge. Whenever I got frustrated/unmotivated, I would take breaks for several days and just watched other people draw on youtube. That almost always makes my arm itch to draw something. Instead of stylized/anime art, I focused more on portrait studies, which paved a way for me to get into charcoal drawing. I did not draw daily, contrary to what other artists say. This is because I didn't want to make myself think that art is an obligation/tiresome/bothersome. I wanted to continue loving art by keeping a healthy boundary and allowing myself to enjoy other stuff other than art. If you focus too much on art, you'll run yourself dry/get frustrated. So I had to teach myself to walk away from it from time to time. 3. I have also been doing watercolors since 2020 4. In the latter part of 2020, I challenged myself to try gouache out, but I did not get along with the medium. It was more an issue with me and my technique, rather than the gouache itself. But generally speaking, gouache is a very difficult medium to work with. 5. Just a month ago, I started getting into oil painting. I used to thibk that watercolors were my favorite. But when I tried oils for the first time, I was enamored by its forgiving nature, its color vibrancy compared to other mediums, and how easy it is to work with. I actually just got an oil painting commission just last month. 5. I haven't started my own youtube channel yet. I'm still deciding if I should or not, or if I even have the time to do it due to commissionwork, freelance work, and my day job. For anyone wanting to pursue art, I urge you to start now. I remember telling myself "I'll start when I'm better", but I realized that I won't get better with waiting and just practicing what I know/is comfortable for me. When I started commission work, I was surprised on how much I improved faster coz I needed to learn how to draw/paint flowers, arms, hair, etc... Remember, it never hurts to try.

@@levicrossdechantel Do you have socials we can follow? I'd love to see your art!

It's all about observing the real life world, instead of photos off the internet aswell as remembering not to shy away from contrast when practicing realism, hope any of those tips help you improve besides taking a look at specifically CYM color theory since you're a traditional artist! (I hope it won't sound insulting, but you clearly cannot achieve the same crisp that digital art got, without using proper techniques, you'd need to study for years so I sincerely wish for you to achieve it as fast as you can!)

@@FainthedCherry Photos off the internet are just as good as observing the real life world. Difference is that it's more efficient in drawing depth and studying how light works; and training your eyes better.

странно, я только прочитав ваш коммент начал туда смотреть, и то там вначале было ENG а не РУС. Я лично понял это гораздо проще. Слева все кисти с русским названием.

HE SAID "WOW, BRUSH INTERFACE IN RUSSIAN!".

Я тоже это заметила

@Julie sorry for my late answer.. yes, an army.

Agree

Piracucu if you analyze closely she is using paint tool sai 2 and it has blur effect option ( on the top line if you click on filter > gaussian blue ) and set it to 8.6, then on a new layer with a blue color she used the new gradient tool ( set to its straight form and s-curve gradation) which is located inside the box with brushes and after that she set the layer to multiply. hope this helped lol

thanks ♥

Ramen Sama what if you have the first Paint tool sai?

Piracucu you can't really make it exactly like she did since there are no gardient tool or blur effect. But there's an option: you can make a blur brush ( by putting 100 to Blending , dilution, and persistence then lower a little bit the Density like that the brush will feel like a blur tool ) and use it on top of the background you want to seem unfocused. As for the gardient, on a new layer, you might just use a very big sized airbrush with low density and use it on the right corner to make the blue effect and adjust it with the blur tool you've created ( maybe lower the layer's opacity too) and set layer to multiply. That's it.

Piracucu take a soft brush and reduce the opacity to about 20% and make the size extremely large, then paint off of the cavas so that the edge of the brush barely places paint on the canvas. You don't need cheats to produce this effect.

i know right?

I do

I heard but didnt react because im used to that sound lol

Согласен

Not mireys but I know sai 2 has like a blur filter

@ 2:06 she goes into Filter -> Blur -> Gaussian Blur just for the background layer. But yes, she is using Sai v2. Pretty much all other programs have similar settings or filters (photoshop, painter, clip studio paint, krita)

sai 2 has a gaussian blur which i love using for bgs like the way they did it but you already know that now si yea lol

i never used it on krita :o thxx !!

I'm using paint tool Sai v.1 And I use a smudge tool to make my background look blurry. It works pretty well. Don't need a filter c:

I’ve never felt so offended by something I 100% relate to

biosphere - forest queen

ewww you want to marry her

ISSA • P if you go to the filters there’s one called Gaussian blur which is used to achieve that effect :)

Ohhh, ok! Thank you for pointing that out!

There is no way you're at the same level as this guy. In 3 months you wouldn't be able to learn to do this type of rendered detailed drawings.

@@disgusting2208 dawg why ya gotta be so dang negative

@@mipyland cuz he's fucking lying and it comes off as humble bragging

@@avokado1386 Depends on if they had art experience beforehand. The way I read OP's comment made it seem like they were inexperienced with digital art, but not a complete beginner. It is absolutely possible to quickly get a hang of drawing well, even at a professional level, digitally if you already have the fundamentals with traditional art.

If you look at the bottom right you can actually see the time! About 2 hours for the rough sketching and then 6-7 hours for the finished piece on the next day i would say.

CookieOfLove wow! It took a while, it looks awesome 😊
