An empty analysis, 30 minutes of nothing

how can you get over the fear of putting your written into or story into drawings

I honestly think you have a very limited view on how it is possible to represent form in drawing and painting. Perspective, overlaps, crosscontour drawing are all ways to also show volume and also how you think about parts of a figure or object will effect the way you enclose part of what you are drawing in a way that it also appears to be more dimensional. Shadow is only one way to describe surfaces and planes and there doesn’t even need to be a super dark shadow. Sometimes a shadow can actually flatten an area more than it gives it dimension. The quickest way to „flatten“ a drawing is just drawing the surrounding contour of a shape without overlaps and ignoring the surface on the inside, which you can indicate by shapes shifting in value or color, textures, lines for example. A lot what you consider to be flat here I wouldn’t, but with other parts you point out I would agree they are more graphic/flat and less dimensional. You can get away with implying more, when you understand the surface well enough to choose what to keep. You don’t have to though. Sometimes also more can be more 😂 Less can also be less and can also be a sign of gaps in understanding. I actually think now that it can be harmful to the development of an artist if we throw around heurisitcs and phrases we picked up from others like less is more, often even putting it in the wrong context, because it lost its true context a long time ago. I think it is a big problem people still talk about rules and breaking rules in art. If a piece of art succeeds solely depends on your intentions you have and there is different tools you can use to communicate what you want to communicate.

For me what doesnt work is going for a rendered look but still keeping black lines. It´s all "painting" (no lines) or all cartoon style (all lines Kim jung gi style)

Can you make a series demonstrating how to draw effects because I'm really struggling with that? Like debris from characters and their attacks crashing into buildings and the environment. crushed debris, rocks, collapsed buildings, bruises, cuts, blood, small & massive explosions, energy beams, water, fire, smoke, lava, ice, etc. The only book I've found covering the topic is in another language in that country.

Oohh my~ Why didn't KZbin show me your video before!! It unlocked a new braincell for me. holy moly TYSM!!!!

Jerome rules!

I'm going to tell you something you're not going to take seriously, but is going to resonate in your mind, in the future when you find out this person that is coming out of nowhere was right. Art style makes sense even when breaking the rules for the following reason: we artist repeat ourselfs thousands of times. And do not do studies of somebody else's art, never. Cheers.

Wow beautiful! Thank you so much for showing your proces, Tim!

So weird I just had a personal break through about realizing this relationship between realism and iconography as it relates to style. Perfect timing.

This is why I love your videos; you casually say something that breaks through obstacles I'd inadvertently put in front of myself. Only 8 minutes in and I've learned it's not that I'm doing something "wrong", it's "what great artists understand". I get that. And I am grateful

Thank you for this video! I feel like you were addressing something I've been slowly trying to learn and address. Form vs shape is something that I certainly want to play around with. Honestly, the pirate pages really spoke to me style-wise - I like the linework, with a FEEL of some lighting. I'll probably have to watch it again - lots of feelings of "ooh this is what I've been trying to get" along with feeling like haven't quite got it. But I really appreciate hearing of your journey!!! Also, the parts about how different styles may seem "better" because more realistic, but allowing ourselves to not need to go that way is really nice.

Very informative and helpful, thank you!

What the heck, why am I not subscribed to this channel

Can recommend to check mangaka Kamome Shirahama and their Witch Hat Atelier manga. I think they have a great line and color illustration style.

Every time I watch one of those videos it makes me want to go buy art books XD

Caspar David Friedrich was so good with form in his landscapes that "Wanderer above the Sea of Fog" would go on to be concept art for video games nearly 200 years before those games would even exist!

Nice Video

Interesting point, I agree that the pro badge might be misleading, but they had to make it distinguishable from the pencil2, and the new air and pro don't work with the previous version... So it's not just a spec bump, but if you get into the new gen u need to upgrade ur gear... What's dangerous with the pro badge is that someone who has a previous gen iPad might consider getting the new pro pen, and it won't work at all.

I’ve been struggling since I actually like to render most, but all the styles I admire are Highly graphic and have almost no rendering. I was suggested to look at art nouveau to see how I might be able to have both, but it’ll be a long road

Hi Tim, I love your art, I try to buy your tutorial "Drawing Scenes in Line and Color! Learn to Draw Complex Scenes!" and I get a Paypal error when i try to pay. Thanks a lot

I didnt expect to be taught color theory by obi wan today. a surprise for sure, but a welcome one

Hey Tim, this is s great video. I think you mentioned a theme here that lots of aspiring artists struggle with. I've been just working on a comic and I was thinking about how to color it and this video made it a lot easier! Thanks bro

This is also called the difference between chiaroscuro-based art and notan-based art

As someone who tends to lean toward a more painterly style with a lot detail, I tried to create a simplified cartoonish design... not easy

What is Shreck doing to that Seal !!!!!

I have a mentor that tells me to draw this stuff but i just cant apply it to my own stuff. 😢 And i dont know he doesnt seem to correct or tell me when i have done something wrong or what i really need to work on. I will say he is doing it for free which i think most of you will say. "Get out now!" And trust me i am thinking about it cus he never tells me what i need to improve upon or give me any real pointers to get better att say drawing a box or a cylinder. The more i draw the more i realise that some people can draw and others just cant. There's a reason its called the 99% and the 1%

I liked your video while I'm relearning about drawing. This and the Radiorunner's curriculum for the self-taught artist guided me better than enrolling to any course. And here's a new subscriber!

I struggle constantly with figuring out which "style" to lean more toward. It's a back and forth battle with trying to keep my art more consistent style wise lol. Thank you for posting this it helps to know this is something a lot of us struggle with and takes time to figure out!

The part wheee gojo throws sukuna and part of the bridge back towards earth goes hard

why nobody is talking about the latency? it delays a little while drawing and i never seen anybody addressing it. i do face the same issue!

this is SO useful.....

Which ipad model that give memory warning when you open a GB (large image file)? Can ipad pro M4 handle that with 8 GB Ram? What's the largest image file it can open? Have you recreate those large image file with vector graphic file? It should be able to make the picture file smaller. I really wonder how close vector graphic art will look compare to the rasterize image file with recent vector graphic software technology?

Thank for posting this book review! It's hard to find out more about Ohrai, since most info online is in japanese.

I keep being shocked by how many artists watch the UFC for this exact reason, glad to know I'm not the crazy one!

moral of the story french are the best

thx obi wan great advices

What is the Samsung 14.9 inch one you like? What is the best drawing pad or tablet you would recommend period for a novice who enjoys painting in oils but getting a bit old for the clean up? What would you recommend if I could print and sell my work? Thank you.

hello, does anyone have issue with apple pencil pro battery last like 1 hour long? I've been looking for informations on the internet, yet no one has raise any concern regarding this.

I really love your painterly style, i would love to see the process for that style if possible 😃

This is a topic ive been trying to wrap my head around for the last year and half and theres so much that was cleared up because of this video. Thank you so much.

you are a very cool man did you that

Shape and form are the same word in French! 😅😂

This video and many of your others have helped me improve my drawing is so many ways. I'm very thankful you've made this channel and I stumbled upon it. I've found my character drawing becoming more consistent and my process is becoming quicker by just understanding the foundation and fundamentals you teach in each of your videos. Thanks so much for sharing these ideas and techniques alongside showing us how you put them into your process. Looking forward to whats next.

Tintin and Asterix. Love(d) those comics. I was also influenced by them, as well as others like Lucky Luke, Blueberry, Hermann (artist) and a comic book that most people outside of the EU probably have not seen, MacCoy. Lovely advise and thank you for sharing!

Very good video man👍 I have been thinking whether to get ipad air M2 13" or ipad pro M4 13" for about a month now. Your video really helps. I was good with digital art using computer+mouse before. I never used wacom and recently discover the potential with ipad+pencil pro. ipad pro M4 13" is way too expensive for me and I'm afraid that 8GB of ram will not last for long term. Getting 16GB of ram one will require you to pay an arm or a leg for it, I think I'll put that into consideration once things are cheaper. To make matter worse M4 chip is a very powerful chip, but it's still limited by the ipad OS. I decided to get ipad air M2 13" for now.

There’s always room for improvement. I was going out side to draw from life. I would sit down to draw. People would peak over my shoulder to watch me draw, and I would get encouraging feedback. Some would ask for chump-change. Some were just plain crazy. But I felt it was better to draw from life because truth is stranger than fiction. Artist’s don’t have to slavishly adhere to reality.

great videeo to a very difficult question!

Love your style man, thank you so much!! ❤

Great video Tim. It's an interesting subject and very well explained.
