I know people say this a lot, but it is true, your tips are actually helpful and don't change the artist's artstyle or anything, they just help to convey something better

[@bryanroberts7703]

Not really, tips do like proportions and stuff but usually this guy just adds shadow wich does look nice + is preferred better but makes everything too harsh in favour of realism which kinda just makes everything boring and regular

[@GodisGood941]

@@bryanroberts7703 maybe because most people submit more realistic than cartoon drawings

[@DeIuIuu]

@@bryanroberts7703 the reason is people are going for realism, and realism isn’t just boring by nature (at least not in my opinion), plus, he literally enhances this one and makes it more visually interesting so idk what you’re talking about

[@roseykitty8748]

​@@bryanroberts7703 I think this is more just your personal opinion, What ive seen of this dude is he critiques people with mostly realistic styles so he "fixes" the shading based off of that because thats what the artist is probably going for Realistic shading isn't boring, It's the fundamentals I feel like anyone should know just because it helps a lot with shading

[@someone3195]

He did tho? The aura of the first one was quite different. U don't need yo saturate all the time. The issue was with the proportions

[@catpoke9557]

I actually liked the OG more for once. The lack of saturation somehow made the light feel harsher, which I liked.

[@daiphanduc5935]

Well yes but at the same time she literally look like she had a piece of snake's skin at the green-ish shadow

don’t discredit the artist, it looks very alive even without the changes.

[@sunnnieee]

it was alive before, he made it look unnatural by changing it to fit his style. it was already quite good before he just changed it to match his style.

[@sunnnieee]

@@GP1x13 i'm not a professional artist so i don't know what he could've done better, but it's just my opinion that he did not improve the drawing as his version didn't match the style.

[@caseyhauck7113]

I like the added saturation to the hair, but the I think the green in the shadow actually makes it feel more muddy than before

[@Hipi]

I think he just exaggerated the result to highlight the process, I assume that you would turn down the opacity of the layer for naturalism. it's mixing with green rather than black yea

[@Carolsnewssubs]

The original one the artist uses grayish green as the bounce light, which is not how bounce light color works. It should be saturated/ bright and glowy. Learn how light and shadow works. Observe photos, see it for yourself, stick them to your brain so you can notice these mistakes.

[@seumemel]

​@@CarolsnewssubsThis dont change that the green in the second image does not look good

[@randomtree7295]

It depends on the look you're going for, I liked the more desaturated look, but it depends on your preference

[@Carolsnewssubs]

He’s taking the more logical approach theoretically on how light and shadow works. Beginner artists tend to ignore those thinking it’s their stylistic choice. Deep down they know there’s something wrong in their works, but too prideful to notice and learn from mistakes.

[@caiii_i3512]

it's just a rule of thumb that desaturated colours will make the area look muddy compared to other parts of the painting

[@iamaboy163]

Style and lack of skills are two different things. you can have an art style but you can't ignore how light and shadow and anatomy works, especially if you're drawing something "realistically" or "semi realistically" while drawing existing unrealistic cartoons is a different thing

[@xhappyponyxwasmyoldname1395]

@Carolsnewssubs Yeah but just look at the reference photo they attached- the light and shadows were never saturated to begin with

[@sunnnieee]

⁠@Carolsnewssubs They’re clearly not a beginner artist. in this case it looks to be a stylistic choice. Here, he just changed it to match his style and it looks better before. Not everyone wants to draw this way. In my opinion, the before looks better and the saturation looks strange.

[@user-mg2rx2ik7h]

I like the first one better, colors were good. I think contrast couldve been a little higher tho and render more details. The front of the face where the light hits has a lot more detail than the hair and ear. Theres a lot more balance between the smooth blending and hard edges I would just clean the ear and hair up a little bit more. The piece already looks great tho dont get me wrong, just a few spots I think stand out.

[@NameWitheldByRequest]

Honestly I kinda like the first one more! I do agree with it being a bit too muddy on the left side of the face

[@sma8001]

Nah, I feel like the first one is better low-key, at least in the reflected light

[@mishiak]

I feel like also, the tilt of the face is every so slightly off - the reference is tilted every so slightly upwards

[@abhilasha9608]

I think the jawline is a tad bit sharper too, and with the shadow it makes the face look sharper and narrower than the reference

[@krisdiane]

Yes, the eye on the right is too high. Other than that I thought it was quite perfect. ❤

[@pacibibi]

@@abhilasha9608 well of course the artist is gonna add their style into the drawing too. its not supposed to look 100% like the reference.

[@KayMarieClair]

[@k0dibugg]

[@lisdmon6538]

[@QuantumSqueeb]

I like the original more. I’d imagine she’s an earth elf, like a wood nymph creature. But now she looks…regularly beautiful…

[@potatop172]

I like the before more here. It’s very soft and satisfying

[@shalinimahalingam9064]

Can we just appreciate how stunning the person in the reference picture is?!

[@kitsu8677]

Wow it looks so good!! 😮 I think a couple other things that might be giving the artist that uncanny feeling is the slight difference in the positioning of the chin (in the reference the head is tilted slightly up) and the extra length in the bangs and lack of hair highlights on the side of the head.

[@faceless-ghost]

Thats crazy honestly, i like both paintings

[@luckycharm6504]

Every time I think, I love how it looks in the before. And I think of how I would change it but mostly come up with smaller stuff and details. And then he always goes in with so much colour and I’m like naaah that’s waaaay to dark or way to green and then I see the end result and I am once again reminded why he’s the one with a big following and not me lol. It looked super good before, but the lighting afterwards was just wow

[@channilemonhill7493]

It’s like when a beautiful woman puts on some nice makeup. Like she was beautiful before but now she’s gorgeous.

[@jojotan3344]

The original is so good already, full of emotions. After improvement it looks like im drowning in it. Its so good!

[@tamv9803]

I feel the OG was better in the green thingy. A bit more natural.

[@justlimonika]

I do like the changes but I think the original artist wanted you to make the face more similar to the reference photo (I think maybe her left eye is too big but I'm really not sure)

[@TactlessGuy]

The green is way too strong in the after, but the orange on the cheeks is really nice.

[@hassoon7687]

You made it a more generic mainstream piece of art. The previous version is much better with a unique toned down look. Makes you feel fuzzy and warm. But it's a preference.

[@julianblack1256]

Something that really comes up in your Videos are Lights and Shadows, I think its just so nice that you bring the importance of lights and shadows more in the front

[@angiebuo287]

I usually find these kind of videos useless for me because I’ve been taking fine art classes for 6 years now but this actually pointed out something new to me. Sunlight certainly does complicate the lighting of a piece but I’ve never seen it broken down like this before. I’ve always figured it out by eye with varying results. Great job teaching!

[@linz.aesthetics]

i think this person was more focused on changing the hair technique and anatomy than the colors, though this is nice too. i can’t really go much into depth in a youtube comment, but compare the left side of her face with the reference photo, mostly the silhouette, and you’ll see the problem her skull is a bit too big for her, and the eyes look tilted on the face using the grid method, learning how to use guidelines, or both will help you create an accurate sketch before rendering. also, be careful when rendering, especially when you’re making something really realistic like this. be sure to stick with the sketch you’ve made, and don’t change ANYTHING about the anatomy. i do this a lot too: i end up getting so caught up in rendering realistically that i accidentally change the sketch and proportions, and the drawing looks funky as for the hair, the colors are a bit muddy too i see that they added the shadows for the hair in lines, which is good, but hair also has highlights too. adding highlights with lines just like this person did with the shadows of the hair will make the hair look less blocky. adding some messy strands outside the hair shape is also a good way to make the hair look realistic i am by no means an expert, just someone who likes art, so please correct me if i’m wrong, or if you want to add anything to my explanation

[@archivedchaos00256]

i do love how stylistic and painterly the original is, but the edit is also pretty with more realistic, less hard edge more blurry, lighting. both are very good in different ways. i will say the original could use more saturation to add more contrast and the amount of saturation you added diverted a little too much from what i feel the original was going for, still beautiful either way. thank you for teaching us once again!

[@morgansmith334]

Both are really good! I enjoy the originals desaturated colors, it gave it an overall softer tone. I enjoy the edit because you brought out the brightness!

[@Wint9rification]

Lowk i liked the original drawing more this time, this guy has a really specific theme and mark to the things he does, and i feel like the original theme was better in this case, more suited towards the original image. all that needs changing i think is the jawline should be less sharp, along with the angle of the face/eyes

[@ichappi4970]

I just realized a tip from this video that might help my dear fellow tradition artists. So basically as the first part he fixed, like the muddy colors can be fixed in traditional artist by layering. First the skin tone's color but darker and over it a lighter saturated color. I mostly use it for Color pencils (hope this helps anyobe tht might need it ❤)

[@anonymous123456on]

Art is amazing but what i think is the difference is the slight head tilt

[@monstwapushin2295]

Dude you have solved one of my main issues when trying to add different colors to shadows! Every time I tried to add the colors that where intended to bounce with an object or skin it ended muddy or with a lack of color (going into more grey values), time and time again every one of your shorts and videos has help me with an issue I had before when drawing, thank you so much!

[@pacibibi]

the colours looked more accurate to the reference than the after though. the ref's colours definitely arent that saturated, it makes the after look off. the green particularly looks way worse after than before... i think this artist should have just blended it more so it doesnt give this "muddy" look to it, but thats it. its already a very beautiful drawing.

[@Angel.bomb000]

I feel like people do tend to be a bit scared when drawing realism! I have a bit of trouble a lot of the times, but this really helps!
