Learn a lot

Your demonstration on how to visualize the forms was super funny to me because it’s basically the first step I use for my smooth shading process that gives me the cleanest result. It’s actually really helpful to draw out the guidelines/ map the surface when you’re working with more complicated forms so this tutorial is useful even if you are doing cell shading

Thanks so Much. Looking forward for more of your work:)!

cool

Hey! I commented on this a few days ago but I think my comment was automatically removed because I had a few links included where I showed the results of when I drew along with your video. I just wanted to thank you so much for this tutorial. The circle/freestyle method felt really intuitive and the way you explain just resonates with me so much. I've been looking back at this video a few times already to practice. What I find the most challenging is where to place the eye sockets and after that know how I can play around with how far I want to stretch the shape of the eyelids. As the length of the "directional half circles" are made, I don't easily see the pattern of where the eyes should go. But I think it might be a matter of practice and trying to understand the anatomy of the head. Again, just a big thanks from my heart for these tutorials, I think they are the best!

Actually I learnt a few things I didn't know or had doubts about their use. I guess doing the lines to get a better feeling of the volumes of the elements to shade will be a good help to avoid the brain go loco with the shape of the shadows, and then to stop doing them when it starts to do it automatically in your mind's eye. Thanks for sharing your experience 👍

It's so pretty 💕

I recently found out about your art and I find it to be among the most appealing visuals I've seen in my life. The way you make cel-shading just feels on another level. Thank you for uploading these, it's inspiring me so much with my own art journey. ❤

I have seen this type of process in your course also in udemy nyc course to learn shadowing process

I'm okay without the coloring process... Linework and Cel shading is nearly all the work there is to it.

What canvas size/dpi do you use for something like this?

I see you took an old friend's advice to teach 😂😂😂 GET EM JUHA!!!

P r o m o s m 🌺

Very good video!

I'm struggling with drawing eye Your video helped me get a better understanding of how the eye squeezed thank you!❤

❤

I am start improving in my art after i start watching your videos. And this video gave me enough motivation for 1 month. Great work🔥

cool bro

Such a good background speed paint!

i just started learning to draw a week ago and with this feature it will go even smother when i learn how different angles and such works. thanks for the tip

i feel like this just removes all of the structure ofc its probably fun but as a beginner i feel like they wont know how to learn from this i think the trial and error from making the headshape yourself and adding your own guidelines would be more beneficial i can see some pros like if you arent using a display tab might help with practicing in that aspect or maybe practicing eyes or hair but its mostly just tracing with a couple other things but idk this isnt a diss to you just my take on it

I follow you ..nice work.. and I love your work. where do ai buy your pens

thanks, so much!

Cool video Okuha. I plan on getting your pencil tools to work with the inking tool set I got from your gumroad.

awesome video man

Aww, I really want to get that quality of style you have displayed here. It's so clean! 😮 Ah! What type of blend type you use to make the shadow layer to blend so good with the base colors layer? I believe Multiply is not it because that darkens too much 🤔

Wow, nice! I love 2 phases: gray-cel shading and the coloring phase! :D Do you have any full clip like this?

krea ai also do this

Awesome shapes dude✨

The only thing I like about ai at generators is that they do make for good references for drawings. Not used to replace them.

💕👏👏👏

I like AI art because I like looking at my favorite characters. I can make 200 images of my favorite characters wearing new clothes, doing new things, and in new locations. There's simply not enough fanart online to satisfy my desires. And I don't have the money or desire to commission 200 drawings. Soon enough, we will be able to manipulate AI art in even finer ways. We'll have AI animations, and everything. For most people, art is something that carries an emotion. To me, AI art brings me joy, Human art brings me joy (usually). Sure you can think of it as the process, but in the end, most people, myself included mostly care about the result. The human side is a lovely touch. Is it wrong that they trained on copyrighted art? I did not fact check, but if it's true, yes. Still, at the end of the day, a program looked at millions or billions of pictures, and found patterns. It encoded these patterns into many arrays of numbers, which it multiplies together. AI art is a mathematical calculation. It looked at all the art online and combined it into a math equation. But let's be honest... soon enough, they will train a model purely on AI generated art which excludes human made art as direct training data. At that point, is really is just patterns, and not direct pasting. It wont output any already copyrighted data.

I think I accidentally removed one comment. I do apologize for it. I surely didn't intend to do that. But to quickly comment on the comment. Yes, it does seem that the majority of money from AI image generation is being made by the small businesses and services that offer image generation not the the ones who sell the end result.

AI art is used and perceived similarly to ChatGPT papers. It generates something barely serviceable by people who can't be bothered to care. These people won't find jobs or be able to compete with real experts who put in the time to specialize in their field. The only money to be made with AI art are the software engineers and business teams who develop and maintain the service.

Your words really hit some downs I had through the year.. but I think you're absolutely right. Cameras didn't replace art, Photography is now just a form of art. The same goes for PhotoShop, etc. etc. no doubt artists will find creative ways to use AI and thus making it truly AI art, but the vast majority will just create uninteresting/soulless pictures, as was the case with cameras and photoshop. You're completely right on the part of the Artist always finding a way to create, because there is that internal drive of wanting to do so, wanting to grasp and play with emotions. Thanks.

While AI art is always getting better, I always feel like the main quirks of it never really go away, and because of that I don't think it's a big threat to art. It will most likely always look worse to actual art. I can only see AI becoming a 'problem' if it gets turned into a tool that let's artist have control of it enough for it get that human touch and control it lacks right now. But at that point it might cross over to being a tool like content aware scale, healing brush etc. The only real danger is if people start accepting something that looks subpar and off, but if we get there it's not because of AI tools, but us

This whole Ai thing is what lit the fire under my butt to pursue art. I just feel there’s no love, no passion, no personal touches to these things.

We try to call it for what it is. AI generated images. NOT art.

It looks like a screen shot of an upcoming anime.

Will more artist have to move back to making their art on physical media?

Super nice drawing and colour needs more views

I agree with you on every point mentioned. I had the same stages in my 'art life' and came to similar conclusions as You. It's so refreshing to know that there is someone out there that shares your thoughts. Well at this point I could elaborate more on how we're all connected and so on, but I'll only say this : I am happy for you that you didn't give up on your dream. Know that I will be there, watching you work your way to the end goal and cheering for you in the distance (over the internet haha). Subscribing right now.

your channel is very underrated. loved listening to this like a podcast
