Anime Character Speedpaint ✦ [Clip Studio Paint Timelapse]

[@promisepotion]

The way you explain things is so clear and watching you draw is so soothing. It looked awesome!

[@kurohshiro]

Oh wow, thanks for telling me :3

[@glitzpuma1]

Your art never ceases to amaze me Love the work

[@kurohshiro]

Aw thanks!

[@mkr3976]

Can you make a tutorial on lighting I really like how you do that on the face of your oc btw your style and art is sooo good and thank you for posting speedpaints

[@kurohshiro]

Thanks! I have a video about colouring (How to colour) and there I explain my way of lighting. But I try to think of a separate video :) Thanks for letting me know!

[@Kitsuyomi]

I really like the way you format your speedpaints :) also its really interesting to see how you use references! Often I struggle because I only use one anatomy reference or I cant find a pose that Im trying to go for, but I see you look at multiple angles to find what youre going for

[@kurohshiro]

Thank you! I also use reference for lighting scenarios, art styles (when i find a way of simplifying/ stylizing things interesting) and more :) It's really helpful, a mix between pictures, old artworks of yours and other peoples, colour swatches can be useful^^

[@swisdom9117]

​@@kurohshirogood advise as usual!

[@rebeet4205]

Bro's workflow is so smooth

[@jenyfervonuck]

You're such an inspiration, everytime I watch one of your videos I learn and I get a bit of confidence, as it makes me realize how the process really is, showing us it is accessible to anyone willing to put the work in, so thanks a lot!

[@kurohshiro]

Thank you very much!

[@Foxtrot_xx]

Thank you for the upload!! I’ve always admired how you approach anatomy, all of your illustrations are so dynamic! Was having a rough day and this made it much better. Also, thank you for linking your brushes in the description, they’ve helped a lot! You also said you’ve been feeling a bit unsure of your art/improvement on Twitter recently, and I just wanted to tell you that you’re such an amazing artist and a huge inspiration to so many of us!! Art does take a pretty big mental toll on us sometimes, but pushing through that always feels so good in the end. Keep up the great work, can’t wait to see what you’ve got for us next!

[@kurohshiro]

Okay, wow, thanks for letting me know and writing such an endearing and sweet comment. I really appreciate it! Yes, currently I am unsure what to draw and how. Sadly my mindset became like 'You have to draw what others might like' but this is stressful and shouldn't be the reason of doing art in the first place. So thanks for reminding me :) I try my best to keep doing what I am doing and adding a bit of an added value to my videos by some commenting :)

[@GuranPurin]

I love your OC, his design is so cool! I envy how easily you draw the side profile! Recently, it took me about 3-5 different illustrations as references before I drew something that I thought looked good. I always worry the nose is too big or the mouth doesn't look right. Reducing the reference image value is an amazing tip I never considered! Thanks so much for sharing! :D

[@kurohshiro]

Oh thanks for your in-depth comment! I really appreciate it. it's weird, sometimes it's really easy to draw a side profile (I struggle with 3/4 view the most tbh) but this time I had some issues with the side. So it's always a tiny bit of luck involved in my process :)

[@stargazingrainstorms]

This is so cool! Love that you drew from a variety of references

[@joaovitorlima9952]

It's great to watch your full process because I can see stuff that I'm overthinking and the stuff I'm not paying enough attention to. Sometimes, we have a tendency to think that we aren't making enough effort, when most often than not, we are actually putting the effort into the wrong place. I'm glad you had the blessed idea of making a YT channel hahahaha

[@sirirond1990]

amazing, also great to know im not the only one that takes almost a week or 2 to finish a piece, really liked you added that detail at the end, makes the whole guessing how much time is a lot and how little is a little actually is for others

[@kurohshiro]

Oh thanks for letting me know! I am never sure if I take long or if I am fast. Some paintings are really easy, so they take longer, but I think this one gave me more trouble lol

[@sirirond1990]

@@kurohshiro oh same here! I'm trying to get faster with my paintings but I learned that generally I take longer on pieces where I try new things, be it new painting workflow or something completely new. And are faster when doing thing I'm used to. So maybe taking long is a good thing if it's happening when you are learning or trying something new? Still hope you keep sharing your process and if is not much trouble also share the amount of time it took you like you did here, again it really helps! Also thanks for replying and keep on being an awesome inspiration Ps. I'm currently practicing using your workflow for my last 3 pieces (mixed with some of mogoons and a few things I figure out hehe) and been loving it so far, thanks for sharing!

[@ilydowa]

such a treat to my eyes

[@ZayTheOracleArchive]

Thanks for this video! I've been trying to take art more seriously again lately and watching your entire process is both insightful and also just relaxing to pop on the side while I work. Love your art!

[@kurohshiro]

Ahw that's great to hear! Thank you very much^^

[@Gojo0w0]

I love your art style it s so amazing

[@kurohshiro]

Oh wow, thank you!

[@mkr3976]

Thank you for posting speedpaints it is also helpful and I always look forward for your videos and can you draw Gojo in your style

[@izumina1735]

Ah,i love ur artstyle and video sm😭‼️ everything r so clearr, please don't stop to make more video😭💥😞

[@sephirothschestmole]

this is so therapeutic!! i will continue to draw along with this video! it’s so nice to see a speedpaint of Giro again, i remember binge watching the previous speedpaints bc i love his design so much! i really enjoyed the cloth rendering part, i was actually having some trouble earlier with clothes on my art, but after seeing your process i think ive got an idea on how to approach it :D lately ive been drawing a lot, and i think im finally getting consistent with my own style. you’ve always been a great help, thank you for the tutorials and the inspo you’ve even giving us through your art 🫶🫶 P.S: i was wondering if your brushes are exclusive to only CSP or can be available for procreate too? there are some good alternatives on procreate as well but the ones you use seem so much cooler :D also, i hope you have a good day 🥰

[@kurohshiro]

Oh wow, your comment means a lot to me! Thank you! Yeah, actually I was struggling with the clothes as well /and still do occasionally) but it helps to not ink the inner parts, get rid of the linework and just paint the folds based on a reference :) I am glad to hear! I know it can be a but challenging to regularly draw but it became like a daily routine for me, to listen to stuff while drawing, every day ^^ So I am happy to hear it's therapeutic, it's a lovely idea of motivating each other like this :) I still haven't found a way to convert the csp brushes to procreate, But once I find a way I will make them available for sure^^ hope you're having a nice day as well! :)

[@dln5190]

I love your style of art work😭😭

[@kurohshiro]

[@yumiona4642]

You are so inspiring and your art is amazing 💖 I love your videos a lot, thank you so much for them!! I hope one day I will be just as amazing in art as you ❤️

[@kurohshiro]

Thank you :)

[@journalsai]

Finally watched your video 🥺 and I'm still amaze of your artwork and the process. Ive been so insecure about my art recently. So rewatching your videos makes me inspired and recharge again 🥺 Hopefully we'll get more vids or tuts in the future ✨

[@kurohshiro]

Thank you so much! I wish you the best for your art journey! I try to keep posting^^

[@fenriru493]

Kuro do you think you could do a video on your anatomy and how to developed it to your current skill level? I would love to hear advice and tips from you on this subject! 😊

[@kurohshiro]

I will think about it! Thanks for suggestion me this. Honestly I am struggling with anatomy a lot, but maybe I can figure out a way of how to draw poses^^

[@tigeroarx]

amazing artwork as always! recently I have been struggling with drawing faces and facial features in different angles as well as hair, so I was wondering if you could make a video one day purely drawing heads and faces as well as different kinds of hair 😅, would really appreciate it if it could happen. Anyways keep up the good work! btw 20 hours??? sheesshhh glad to see someone that isn't showing off their speed lol makes me feel better about spending 3 hours just on my sketch ;)

[@kurohshiro]

God I wish It would be just 3h on the sketch. You really shouldn't feel bad for your speed. it takes what it takes and thats totally fine as long as you're happy. I remember an art piece which took me more than 40h of work and i never finished it. I worked for too long on it and couldn't stand it anymore so I dropped it. And thanks! I try to think of a video for head and hair (even though right now it's more luck involved lol)

[@sophiekao9728]

I love watching you draw, its so therapeutic! I was wondering why you make so many duplicates of your "rough color" layers? Thank u!

[@mitski4602]

[@gecko9180]

how did you manage to make a duplicate that is mirrored and updates in realtime (The file in the top right)? Also, could you please (if possible 🙏) link your other brushes? like the ones you use for coloring etc. because you only share your brushes for sketching, hair, metal, etc. and not stuff like the marker you use for color blocking (unless if I’m an idiot and missed it). I find that it’s much easier for me to figure out someone’s artstyle if I can see how their brushes work, but you’re under no obligation! This video was more than enough for me to learn a ton, even if I’m sure a lot of it went over my head since you’re so advanced!!! (btw, sorry for yet another question 😅 but how on earth did you manage to make your brush cursor look like that?)

[@imviciously]

amazing video thank you

[@unbotheredsis1934]

can you maybe make a vid of you rendering eyes, your eyes are MY favv!!!! i’m trying to draw them like that (sort of not entirely) but i love the eyes sm 😔 and also maybe what brushes you use for them?

[@kurohshiro]

Oh thanks! It's nothing special, maybe I can make a YT shorts about it^^

[@unbotheredsis1934]

@@kurohshiro yayyy thanks!! but ofc you don’t have to do it. i don’t wanna force people.

[@Nexus_S.M]

I've been watching all your videos for a really long time to study artwork and you've been a big inspiration for me.... if possible, could you make a tutorial on how to color and shade? I've tried learning on my own, but it hasn't been working. At the very least could you please give me a few tips??🥺🥺

[@jaywestbrook7111]

Everytime I see you upload I get excitement! Question though, how do you go about choosing your canvas size? I see different sizes each video. Has made me curious.

[@kurohshiro]

oh really? I usually tend to stay with 3300 x 3700 px and when i don't like the format or ratio i crop it from there :)

[@swisdom9117]

I love your work so much. Question, I just can't get why you do roughs then colours then create the rough layer on top of all the other... Layers? I really don't get that part

[@malachitl4950]

great vid wondering why you duplicate the base colour layer so many times instead of just having one and why you make layers for each part like hair and skin if you already have a base colour layer?

[@thekokonutshell]

how did you teach yourself to draw anatomy this good!

[@ゼルくん]

How to draw like you??? You’re art looks amazing 😭😭😭😭❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@lemwolf232]

What are you pen pressure for the kuro brush?

[@amanda_play]

Amazing work! I've been wondering how you get those 4 lines following your cursor when your doing sketching and lines but then they disappear during the colouring process? Is it like a brush aspect or a setting in Clip Studio?

[@vani6886]

How to put clothes on a character and replicate / copy clothes from real life, not talking about folds, yours is really good so just curious, any book or KZbin tutorials you have?

[@kurohshiro]

I try to mimic what I see. I have multiple references and try to figure out how things work. It also helps to look what other peoples art how they simplify stuff^^

[@Crouchton]

Anyways so back to my theory that artists look like their art... 3:30

[@maiabethel2351]

As a developed traditional drawing realism artist, it hard for me to understand the logic of anime faces and bodies sometimes no I only trained myself to draw what I see for 10 years now but as my 17th birthday is coming up I wish to learn how to become pro at anime as well and become sakimichan( very well known digital artist) level to blend my realism into it and achieve something unique, your videos help a lot thank you ❤ keep working your doing great God bless much love.

[@kurohshiro]

Aw but that's a really good foundation you're coming from. Learning the basic fundamentals of human anatomy is mandatory for any anime stylisation in my opinion! I am glad they provide some help. I find it interesting when styles blend into each other. A realistic shading and body structure isn't exclusive to semi realistic art and I like that^^

[@maiabethel2351]

@@kurohshiro thank you so much, one day I plan to start a KZbin channel like yours once I perfect this enough and teach those who had my same struggles as well how to get out of it. But perspective drawing was never an issue for me. And yes I did fundamentals like shapes, the bones, muscles etc, and ratios. It’s just after drawing from what I see for so long I have a major lack of character design and background drawing headcannons. I see that’s very prominent in anime’s today. I literally only have one oc lol it’s an old Roblox avatar of a Latino. Ohh and maybe we can do collabs in the future if you’d like. I like to think big and spread positivity as a Christian ❤️ but thank you for your help though. As a passive clip studio user I get mixed up with using layers and what their effects are as well, and get stalemated when it comes to shading the way you do or artists similar to your coloring techniques. Maybe one day if you do a clip studio tutorial on that I can grasp it more, Idk if that would be asking too much though. Thank you again so much this means a lot 👍

I love how you didn't erase all of the body you had made I mean the anatomy is so good, it's a shame if we have to erase that for some clothers 😭😭😭 He is so elegant ❤ and sexy even with clothes Ups...

[@vitariawh8866]

I'm really serious when i said i can watch your single videos multiple times. Never bored to watch! I just wondering, my final drawing always looks like it pops up, sharp, and didn't blend with the white background or whatever BG on the back (idk how to explain it well) did it somehow have to do with the brush i choose for lineart and the color i choose? Like will it better if i choose more muted color? All professional artists like you always have their illustrations blend so smoothly and i can't be not wondering what's your secrets 😮

[@kurohshiro]

Thank you so much! Since I usually don't do background I try to pick a simpler soft radial gradient. I never use 100% black or white for the bg. Usually a very light grey which shifts into a certain hue or a very dark grey. It also helps to put a texture above all your drawing and the bg to make them look cohesive^^ Hope this helps!

[@r4bbiit]

how do you have that flipped mini canvas on the top right? i’ve been searching it up but no results :’)

[@kurohshiro]

it's under window - canvas - new window or so^^

@@kurohshiro TYSMM

[@Mona_maiden]

Hi kuro i want to ask, do you learn about drawing fundamental like perspective or other stuff like that Or just sketching everyday? Thanks you, and your video help me a lot

[@kurohshiro]

I am actually trying to figure out how to do perspective drawings. Because you can see that I usually never draw a background. So I draw every day, but usually the same. And when I try to learn something new, I implement it into my artwork somehow. I dislike practice sketches, which is bad because it takes longer to learn when the result has to be a finished illustration...So yeah, drawing loosely and quick might be better^^

[@aisxic]

Hey if its okay for me to ask.. what is a good canvas size for drawing?

[@kurohshiro]

hey! 3300 x 3700px with 300dpi usually^^

[@Hydrannia_o]

How and where do you find your references? Cause I am really curious, you seem to the exact reference you need, and I have problems finding references.

[@kurohshiro]

I am looking on pinterest, the algorithm is providing me with nice stuff. When you want to look for inspiring poses I usually put the word 'aesthetic' into my search bar^^

[@Axiian19]

Could you possibly share some of your Pinterest reference boards? I really struggle with finding good references and coming up with ideas for stuff to draw ;-;

[@kurohshiro]

Thanks for letting me know and suggestion this! I will work on public reference boards :)

[@greninja4744]

Can anyone tell me how he got that cursor is csp I am really curious👀

[@kurohshiro]

ahh tha's thanks to a bug with OBS I think..it displays my cursor like this ^^'

[@Zvromi]

Anatomy tutorial?

[@superhans6365]

How do you find your references, because I search forever and I’m literally finding none

[@kurohshiro]

I am looking on pinterest for years, so the algorithm kinda know what to throw at me to make me happy lol But for people references I usually look for influencers and models, using the word 'aesthetic' or look for specific kind of clothes. Once you cklick an image you will get suggested more and more.

[@WhiteFox508]

As always, amazing video, beautiful art o(^▽^)o I have never heard of the reducing values of the reference, and I have no idea how to do that lmao. But from what I’ve seen in your video, it’s works great! Makes the shapes in the shading of ref easier to notice… I really admire the way you shade clothing and define muscular structures, always looks realistic and approved by physics (´▽｀)

[@kurohshiro]

It really helps to simplify complex stuff and just try to understand the reduced shapes and forms. I guess it's called 'levels' in CSP and Photoshop :) There you can adjust the amount of colours/values^^ Also some hand-drawn filters or painterly filters can make a ref simpler :) Aw thanks! I love the lasso tool combined with the airbrush for this ^^' And having no lineart in these parts makes it more 'realistic' ^^

[@小小頭]

I noticed that your mouse is a bit different. What did you do?"

[@kurohshiro]

It's because of my recording program, it has a weird way of displaying my cursor ^^'
