Clip was offering to pay for tutorials so it might be a branch from that.

[@greenteaismydestiny1887]

I feel a lot of art KZbinrs always focus on one style, so for a while, I thought I had to find one thing I liked and only draw and improve in that. But you made me realize I can do lots of different styles I love. Thank you.

[@LaovaanArt]

Thank you ❤ Style is like your handwriting :) Its individual and you already have it. What you draw is up to you but your style will always shine through (lol that rhymes 😃) And it evolves even more with practice x).

[@greenteaismydestiny1887]

@@LaovaanArt Thank you so much ❤️ Have a great day!

[@paulinebuenavista7689]

If you already have your own style but you don't like it learn how to love your own style and you can be as good as them.

[@greenteaismydestiny1887]

@@paulinebuenavista7689 Thanks !

[@thgritic102]

I only knew one artists who had multiple styles for different things (dig painting, comics, traditional, etc), so seeing their works would always keep me interested because one day would be a digital painting in a semi-realistic style, and the next would be a comic strip where the characters look either chibi or manga. Wish I remembered their name. Been years since I've been on DA. Don't even know if they are still there.

[@ember5031]

@Willow Trash thats kinda rude :/

[@ClassicShaneW]

Willow Trash I think he’s using it in the right context Im not an expert Im just learning but I you say “ watashi wa Mikey desu” which literally means “ I is mike” (The wa puts together 2 nouns Incase you’re wondering” saying watashi wa is really bothersome so people mostly use “___ desu”

[@arizlunastroir96]

@Willow Trash What Shany said- using desu before an adjective/noun is like making a statement or presenting something. In his case, he is presenting oneself or affirming his presence. Although, in the case of affirming one's presence, it might be after a question of attendance or just calling another's name and that other says, "Hai, Kazuma desu." which, in translation means "Yes, this is Kazuma." I'm sorry if I might be using non-common English words, it is not my first language.

[@Baem877]

Another tip a friend gave me: is to merge a copy of all layers, zero the colors put the contrast fully up so only black and white is visible and then make it a color other than black, then set the layer to overlay and you have a really nice colorful veil above your picture (you can always up the opacity or decrease it) its like a filter but only above the parts you want in a specific color (if you only want it on your chara, merge the chara layers etc)

[@zhew2140]

Man you broke down the concept of edge variety and contrast WAY better than my art teachers did. The examples you included really helped too. Just wanted to let you know that all that effort you put it was really worth it! h

[@KoriandrOfTheStars]

YO I NEED THIS. I just started using medibang on my tablet and all I can do is flat colour with minimal airbrush shading lol

[@autreUS4]

Koriand'r Of The Stars I use MediBang on my tablet too, had to make a custom brush just so I could blend 😓

[@wqfflesyrup8740]

hi, heres a beginner digital art tip! dont use black to shade. if you're doing a manga type beta shading, that's totally ok, you can pull it off. but dont just slap a black airbrush shading onto a bright saturated color (neon yellow, for example.) instead, what I use for cel shade is to choose a color, then set the layer to multiply. lower the opacity of the layer then start shading wherever needed! im not sure if you needed this, but if someone else is reading this, hope this helps!

A video that actually teaches me stuff! I don't need to hear about colour theory and how to draw form for the 100th time, I need ways to actually make them happen, like what this video gives. Using blur filters like that is new to me, using colour filters is also something I haven't considered before, and I forgot about custom brushes. I can use those to pull off the things I kept failing at with brushes.

The tips for edges... i‘ve been trying to figure that out for so long... i‘ve been staring at so many pictures.. oh my god thank you. Honestly that was the most useful tips video i‘ve watched yet

[@crazedsnurp]

This is incredibly helpful! I have been drawing traditionally for years, so when I recently started drawing digitally I felt so lost. Learning to blend, and shade digitally was so hard at first! It is so much different. I will definitely try these, thank you!

[@goldybays8654]

Adding extras blues and stuff as a backlight, plus adding a bright white edge to the drawing helps add alot of depth!! Play with colors! I've been going a much more rustic pallet with my skin tones, warmer tones and such. It's very very fun.

[@kazefuriyama258]

Best tip ever for any drawings whether it's color or inked is pay attention to values. I've always experienced frustration because my art always seem to be flat. I knew that area under the sun is very bright, in the shadow is toned down. But when I try to push the light part almost white and the shade deeper (only using the bottom left quarter of the color wheel), it became much more visible that my character standing under the sun. So, duplicate the color layer, and pull the contrast level down. Check if there's 70% midtone, 20% light tone, 10% dark tone in normal light, the darker the environment is, the more and the deeper midtone and darktone are.

[@kaizze8777]

The blur trick is really good. Teaches you to focus on the bits that matter and gives a more professional impression on the viewer

[@emy_definitely_exists]

[@BlackAndBlondPro]

This was SOOOOOOO good!!! Excately what I needed! I started to get into digital art a little while ago but got stuck on some things (like coloring) because it's so different from the traditional way of drawing. I just thought "Why is that so difficult?" and "Why can't I just get it?" Needless to say I got discouraged and stopped for a bit because it wasn't all that fun for me... but your tips gave me new hope and your drawings and paintings inspire me every time. I'll give it another go. Thank you Laovaan!!!

[@user-lx1xl]

I love that you give examples for every point

[@furubagasuki]

This was incredibly helpful. Adding texture is something I've been trying to practice more and more. Would you be willing to make a tutorial over shading and highlighting in digital art? I did watch your whole webinar over coloring you did with wacom and even tried to follow along, but I particularly struggled with the highlights, and getting them to the right tone. For some reason they just looked like splotches rather than actual highlights and this has been a struggle point for me for a long time.

[@furubagasuki]

Haha I'm so silly, I just found your second webinar with them. From the bottom of my heart, thank you for all you do.

[@vao4]

I’ve listened to your videos when I draw so many times now, that whenever I hear your voice I get this Pavlovian urge to draw haha

[@chariots8x230]

I like it. Please do more digital painting tutorials. I really want to see a video on how to create a color palette after we pick a base color. For example, if I pick a yellow as the base color for the hair, how should I color pick the rest of the colors in the palette to represent the shadows & highlights?
