Jokes on u guys ur ALL my top artists ever! in my heart. deep down. haha.

Sam complementing others' art while belittling himself is the most artist thing ever.

Totally honored to be among such amazing artists on this list, was very surprised when I clicked to watch while eating breakfast haha!! Such a collection of skill!

Some of my favorite artists (Their social media names): - Scott Christian Sava: incredible with watercolor and stylization - Julia Gisella: insane with colored pencils and realism - Brett paints: makes such inspirational art and inspires me to just. draw. something.

I love Hanacue. Her art is in a anime style and the way she draws her eyes are like adjiwnwicdni I can’t even explain how beautiful they are. She has this almost messy art style that doesn’t look perfect if you zoom in but if you zoom out it makes sense! I would definitely recommend looking at her art

Ahh, what an honour to be mentioned here amongst these talented artists

"Honestly I'm not that immpressive." Are you kidding me? Yes the artists in this video are out of this world with their art, but your style is simple and down to earth! Not to mention how much attention you put into everything like the backgrounds! You deserve so much more likes and subscribers.

Devin Elle Kurtz is easily my favorite artist and I wouldn’t have discovered her art without this video. It ignited my interest for art and now I want to try drawing digitally. Thank you to both of you :D

0:25 I like your art You inspire me

sam be like "hol' up, we ain't ending any careers today? cooool" 😂😂

sam: "and now we have sam. he.... well he.... me: "he does art". :)

Alena Aenami is definitly one of my favourite digital artist for sure. Her art gives such an overwhelming feeling of nostalgia it's ridiculous

My favorite artists use traditional materials, that is, non digital, as those are the materials I work with. But, I am very impressed with the creative storytelling of all these digital artists. So many stunning images, superb work. Already, I see top end auction houses like Sothebys and Christies gradually representing digital work now on world stage. I hope this trend continues alongside traditional art genres.

Here is a little list for y'all :D 1: devinellekurtz 0:58 2: zeenchin 2:01 3: guweiz 2:59 4: samuelyounart 3:27 5: kuvshinov_ilya 4:28 6: raidesart 5:27 7: likelihood_art 6:20 8: chenalii 7:10 9: celestialfang 8:02 10: loisvb 9:08 11: jocelincarmes 10:18 12: artof666k 11:17 13: rinotuna 12:11 14: lulusketches 12:56 15: jeehyunglee 13:42 16: samdoesart 14:23 xD

I am now even more inspired to be a concept artist

10:44 made actually fucking cry that image was way deeper that I thought it was. My interpretation was that a older couple was passing\passed away and showing them leaving the earth as they fade away, the heart made from the hospital room lights just wow and the scenery was just gorgeous. even in passing they will be together for eternity.

Honestly my favorite artist is SamDoesArts I don't know if you ever heard of him but his art is great

i love how sam is just holding a random skull the whole video 💀

Excellent video. There are so many artists out there that constantly amaze me. Gotta just keep pluggin' away at it all! I too love those landscape artists who can just slam out a landscape with seemingly no effort. Lots of hidden talent!

Audity is one of my favorite artists, she is SUPER GOOD at stylization, and is HILARIOUS! She and her husband are a funny duo, they are super good at art

SAMMMMMMM. thank you ☺

In my opinion WLOP is the best, from the background to his character's it's just mind blowing. When I first saw his work I was speechless

Honestly, you’ve been one of my main artists since forever. I just love the way you use color and sculpt out the face. Watching this video made me hope one day I can be mentioned on a list like this.

I really enjoy your videos more than most - you’re talented, entertaining and very knowledgeable - thank you for bringing these artists to our attention. I already follow some of them, but it’s interesting to learn your take on their style and techniques.

I love how one end i’m just like ”HOLY CHEESE THOSE PEOPLE ARE AT THE PEAK OF ART” while the other is like ”yep, even my best pieces of art are absolute garbage” But seriously, Sam and their talent and dedication is amazing and stunning. Maybe I can reach their level one day but i’ll have to work on some things (lighting especially) to get at that level

I love WLOP they always put out beautiful work and all of them has a story.

You're so relaxing to watch, bro. I just recently found your channel and I'm looking forward for more so I can improve on my art. Take care!

Your voice is so soothing, i can never get bored of.

Sam you might not have insane colors or details like some of these people in the video but your art is very impactful, when i look at your art i feel cozy and happy. When I look at their art i feel like a massive wall got placed infront of me lol

Sam: 'German.. bonjour' Me: questioning my own native language for a second.. 😭

I’ve added many of these to my watch now so ty. So many of these take different approaches and I find it both fascinating and fantastic. My favorites are Knight Zhang and Peter Mohrbacher (he’s pretty much my ideal). I love both of them so much.

Thanks, Sam. You inspire us daily. Sharing with my art student kid at uni. ❤️

8:16 not only the entire German population, but also the entire French population.

I like how he talks in a more soft volume/tone and not yelling or extremely loud, it just give extremely chill vibes

I discovered your channel only a few months ago but you’ve helped me improve my art soo much

One of my favourite artists is Yusuke Murata. he is the mangaka who does one punch man and his work is ultra detailed, and meticulous. By far my favourite manga for this reason

Marco Bucci is an incredible artist and painter , his colors and painting style and his tutorials are great. check him out seriously

sam deserves so many subscribers, i swear he gives the best art advice ever.

Thank you for this. I'm 44, getting back into art after 20 years and I love this inspiration.

My favourite artist ever would probably have to be Scott Christian Sava. I love his stylization and how he uses different mediums to the best of their ability to create beautiful pieces of art.

One of my main goals since I started posting my art was to be someone elses favorite artist, I know how so much can change when you find an artist to inspire you and even thinking of how someone can look up to my work makes me feel like I've done my job as an artist :)

Laura Price was the first artist I ever saw.. Her portfolio was so beautiful (on her KZfaq channel) and when I came to know she works at Disney.. I got really inspired. And then Angel ganev kept up my motivation and now you're my fav too 😄

This compendium of outstanding artists was great! Truly impressed by the talent out there.

One of my favorite artists has to be Anna Podedworna. She makes incredible scenes with fantastical creatures that feel so alive. I get so inspired every time I see one of their artworks.

It's 11pm now but after seeing this video I want to draw straight for 12 hours💀

OMG LIKELIHOOD!! I’ve been a huge fan of her for a long time, I’m so glad that she’s getting the recognition she deserves :)

Thanks man, watching your videos whole night already and don't know how to stop

aliyah chen is my art inspiration. literally the definition of a picture paints a thousand words. they’re so good at composition and storytelling with just one single scene. always feels so alive.

" The best way to eliminate your enemies is to befriend them " hmmmmm Sam I see you I do 👀👀 Jokes apart all of these artists are absolutely amazing and so r u and we love artists supporting artists.

6:22 i love her art, it _really_ inspired me last year. Not to brag, but I’ve been watching her since like 50k subs on her channel. Overall, the way she draws (and animates) is just so impressive.

Do another 15 please. I need this content and you're the only one who does it in this good format

One of my biggest influences is/was Yoshitaka Amano. I don't really follow his style (my work is much different ArtStation - Joshua Weinberg), but his flow and ability to break rules still inspires me. Personally, not one for the Anime style - but his work is amazing and completely blows me away.

The fact that Sam isnt on this list is crime. Samdoart your gonna go to jail.

My favorite artists are Momentcorefly, Kawanocy, Sam Does Art, Jazzily, and Ross Draws. It's the painterly style that I love, so I'm trying to do some art studies of Momentcorefly's art at the moment. I do wish there was at least one time lapse piece of their work. So that I could study it better

One of my absolute favorite artists is kuroume! I love, love, love the supper stylized anime style and the emotions and details in the art. I recommend everyone have at least a little look at either their ig or twt because their work is just incredible. Everytime I see a post on my feed I melt away and craw back to my tablet to try and get better

These artists are so inspiring and make amazing work!💯

Number #1 is you. Edit 1: 3:30 "Next up we got Sam" "No it is not me" Really played there Edit 2: Thank you for including yourself, you really are one of my biggest inspiration.

Hard to say what would be my number one but Heartmush is definitely my most favorite! I especially love they're use of colours and lose style of painting. I also love the way they design they're characters.

If I may add one to the list, Yang Qi is an incredible Chinese artist who had worked on the design of a few video games in the past and had recently given his brush to another that I suspect is gonna make him quite a bit more famous than he already is. That man draws similarly dark atmospheres as Zeen Chin (which btw, absolutely deserves his spot in this list. Like, absolutely) and is a monster of character design. The usual reflex while watching his painting is "Where the hell does he find his inspiration?!" Also, I wanted to point out that I began to watch your videos a couple days ago because I got started with a drawing tablet and fetched some advices (which you did beautifully, thanks a lot for that) and didn't even realize who you are as a painter (I knew I saw your style somewhere but didn't make the connection). You definitely deserve a spot on this list too. Your arts are incredible and I lost count of how many ended up on my laptop (and caused amazed reactions from friends and family members alike). Btw, it's interesting to see how each artist has their own world and strengths. You're a master of cute anime characters and freckles as well as lighting and facial expressions. Zeen Chin is a beast for his compositions and atmosphere, Samuelyounart for his very distinctive style and brush strokes, Loisvb for her precision and grace which gives you the feeling she's drawing with feathers... Lulusketch, I'm not necessarily a fan of her character design but good lord, is she talented for environments. On the side note. I wish Jee Yung Lee were a little less into Marvel and the like because, to me, he's one of the most talented artists on the planet but I'm not too receptive to the comics universe myself. I'm not judging though, he should definitely paint what he loves to paint and it doesn't prevent me from gapping in admiration before his arts.

This is just amazing, I love the backgrounds just impressive

Sam’s hair is giving me filbert brush vibes and I’m here for it

One of my fav artists: potg（ぴおてぐ） Anime illustration-like style and the way how detailed the environment is drawn with these colors and filters gives such a >photography< feel and mood. And it's insane! Don't think you're familiar with his work but I think you'll like it.

Not so much a digital painter as an illustrator -this is for all my coNcEpTuAL editorial designers out there- Karolis Strautniekas is one of my all time faves. Extremely deliberate compositions, colours, subjects… everything feels so PLANNED yet natural. An A-rated king !!

i remember saving some art works in pinterest....and now i see u say ..."and here is sam..." and OMG most artwork are your masterpieces...it almost feels like fan moment and reunion....gud job man ...

Yuumei art is one of my favorites artist of all times, love how she makes everything so expressive and colorful:)

My current list: Craig Mullins Devin Korwin Tatyana Kupryianova Even Amundsen Miguel Iglesias Piotr Jablonski Ruan Jia

I enjoyed this video and the presentation of it. I liked how it was pretty sensible and the artists were all really good. It’s amazing what some people can create. All the best 👍🏻

5:18 OMG ITS ILYA 🥹🥹🥹

Thank you for sharing the artists that you admire to us❤️ this is really helpful

I'm so glad you brought up Kan Liu here! He deserves more recognition. Definitely one of my top three artists!

nice. such amazing artists. my fav of those is probably rinotuna. the creativity is so awesome.

An artist I would recommend to take a look if your into a really amazing anime style is おてだま/ OTEDAMA ART. She is more of a traditional artist but she uses copics and they seem more like watercolors! Her art style iss beautiful, I fully recommend her.

I started drawing about a week ago, but you've already pushed me so far and inspired/helped my art out soooo much, my wrist hurts because I cant stop drawing its so much fun, thank you for making all these videos Sam! ♥

My Favorite Artist Is you Papa Sam! You always inspire me to create! Thank You!

I don't even draw anymore but your videos are kinda relaxing. I almost always get motivated starting again but I'm way to busy with gamedev and music production right now. Maybe I'll pick up my drawing tools once again because it's just so insanely inspiring. Thanks for your great content!

you and devin elle kurtz are my biggest inspirations!!! always pushing myself to improve because of you two. thank you for letting me discover more artists through this

I actually needed this video because i always struggle finding artists that inspire me thank you sam for always looking out for the art baby's

Thanks for showing these great artists!

ahh i was so happy when you brought up likelihood! i love her! she deserves so much recognization, and she also has a channel where she shows her process :)

As a writer who can barely draw stick figures, looking at all the work that goes into how all of you wonderful visual artist people go through to create things like lighting, shadows, shape language and all that leaves me in awe.

“I think I got sent a German link.” **says hi in French** “I just offended the entire German population”

II love your graphic style and you have nothing to envy to these incredible illustrators. This made me want to start drawing again and in the meantime I subscribe.

Great recommendations! It almost hurts me seeing such good art, but its more inspiring than anything

"Top 15 artists ever" Sam had better be up here or imma start throwin hands

7:10 I was so happy to see Aliya Chen here!! She inspired me to keep doing art when I was ready to leave it. Whenever I feel demotivated I just look at her art to pick myself up..

thank you for showing us all of these amazing artist >:D I was in awe when i saw khan liu's work. It had the same type of style that really intrest and inspires me, and so were the other artist shown here so thank you ima sub

You are my fav artist because I love the way you style your art ❤

Thanks for giving us more artists to draw inspiration from, Sam! ❤️✨ Also nice shirt 🌺

I’m so glad Rinotuna! They are really good at character art and rendering! *RINO SUPREMACY!!*

I absolutely love Minna Sundberg's art, especially her Stand Still, Stay Silent pieces

i love it when artists includes a whale soaring through the sky like those 2 illustrations at 10:23 and 10:52, they are amazing!

It would be so good to have links in the description for every artist but anyways thanks for introducing me to these artists.

one of my favorite artists has to be Lampzeni, or Zeniyan their use of colours and texture is incredible, the way they put strong emotions into their environments blows me away every time. One thing that i love the most about their art though is the story they're building with every single art piece. As you can tell, it's about lamps :D! I love every single one of the character's designs oh god i sound overenthusiastic- also they compose music and it's absolutely amazing

10:45 I don't know if this was pointed out by anyone, but on the building the skeletons on sitting on, the windows make a heart shape. Maybe this represents the two skeletons were the skeletons of some sort of couple? I dunno, but it's an amazing piece either way!

Great video, thank you. I especially love the one inspired by a mushroom, truly genius!

they do show a lot of dedication, but belittle yourself all you want I'm just gonna let you know that you are the most creative artist I've ever know, your art is so different than others that you can easily tell its yours, so you are basically unforgettable

Sam is madly talented I love his arts, his style, characters the way he draw and the way his arts just give me so much peace and happiness It's like I can relate and almost feel what the character is feeling I love his OC with white hairs and bluish eyes who is usually in black clothes She just gives of such a sassy yet elegant and calm yet savage vibe

I'm starting digital art in a few days, and I'm really excited!

Have you ever heard of Omar Rayyan? He has amazing drawings of animals and fantasy creatures, I'm obsessed with his sort of painterly style.

6:21 You mentioned Cornelia!!! I love her art so much. I'm glad you recognised her art because it's seriously so pretty ❤❤❤
