How to submit your art:
------------------------------
- You can send the art to [e-mail] (l2dm = L2DM many people think the "L" is an "i") in the subject of the email please include the word "Critique" so I know you want me to critique it.
- Or post the art to Twitter or Instagram with the hashtag #l2dmcritique
- In the email/post include art you would like me to give feedback on. If the art is done traditionally the picture of it needs to be clear and in good lighting. You can submit multiple pictures if you like, but I will probably only choose one to critique.
- In the email or post, you can tell me if there is a specific part of the art you want me to give feedback on. For example; the hair, face, coloring, and so on. That way I can give you advice in areas that you feel like you need help in.

I was thinking about that lol! You’re good!

One comment? Lemme fix that 19 likes? lemme fix that

[@danicathephoenixfoxhybrid]

Hiiiii. Hopefully you've seen my email with the critique

[@giveellielove]

You give me a lot of inspiration(also I was rushing to make a comment earlier bc I didn’t wanna miss the post lol)

[@danicathephoenixfoxhybrid]

@@giveellielove she gives me inspiration too 😁

[@EL-xt2fz]

I love how Rebekah is such an inspiration, even with the AI generated submission I love how she encouraged the artist to keep drawing instead of flaming then for trying to pass with AI. Thank you for helping so many people including me ^^^

[@legendofzeldalover44]

Yeah, true ^^

[@tsaraouth-4329]

yeah, although AI is really unethical, I personally think that a creator that teaches drawing should exactly do what she did.

[@naraku971]

@@tsaraouth-4329 Later builds are a lot more ethical seeing as they use stock imagery, such has been found to be the case of later builds of Midjourney and Stable Diffusion at least.

[@Basic_Cat]

@@naraku971oh cool

[@njnjco]

AI is a tool just like any other. If used too much it can become a crutch. That being said, I'm new at art, so don't listen to anything I say, lol.

[@laughingraven8816]

Thank you for addressing the AI issue in such a positive encouraging way. With AI becoming more and more common in the art community, I think artists, especially younger artists, need to realize the value of their own unique styles and abilities. You said it so nicely. I love your videos, by the way. You're my favorite ArtTuber.

[@Arsodite]

1:36 OMG THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR CRITIQUING MY ART!!! It's such an honor! Will definitely keep your tips in mind

[@dedadeda_]

Wait that's your art it's so good

[@Arsodite]

@@dedadeda_ Thank you!

[@AwesomeDoggy88]

Your art style is so cute! Really like the shading

[@small_and_dangerous2068]

Your art is so cute!! Good job with the improvement, I love it!! Your choice of color really made the piece feel unique and adorable 🥹❤️

[@kmdraws64]

Dude its so colorful and I absolutely love your style! Do you have an art instagram by any chance? :0

[@mango3441]

No AI can take away the happiness we feel when we finish a piece of art

[@SaplingofSpunk]

I think you are such a cool person in general. You never tear anyone down and you're kind with almost everything you do! I appreciate how thoughtful you are, and your art is amazing. The world needs more people like you. :)

[@Love2DrawManga]

Aw! Thank you so much! ^u^

[@Archon_Of_Rizz]

Dude, did you draw your pfp? It's adorable!

[@SaplingofSpunk]

@@Archon_Of_Rizz Aw thank you! While I did draw it, it was a gender-bend panel redraw from a webtoon comic (High Class Homos if you were curious :P)

[@dedadeda_]

Bekah is such a nice person for not shaming this person for using AI to enhance their art like some people would just be making fun of this person I love that Bekah Ly!!

[@naraku971]

I try to keep up with the development of later builds of various AI programs, and think that AI is an excellent tool, and I think that especially people are overlooking that there are AI programs that have switched to using stock imagery, Like I know that's the case with I believe the latest stable diffusion build and some of the later builds of Midjourney are made primarily of stock photos from royalty free Stock photo sites such as Shutter Stock, but another thing that people don't take into consideration is that in general, there's people who seem to think that AI is going to replace artists, and that it's possible to somehow steal a style, which is stupid, and kinda narcissistic sounding, you can't have agency of something over something like art style, especially given that I've seen artists who don't know each other have similar art styles, also people are always going to value artists made by people more.

[@mrgee8447]

17:54 this is mine!!! Thank you so much! I totally forgot about the highlights lol anyways thank you again that was a big help for my improvement 💪💪❤

I find it so awesome how Rebekah wasn't mean to the person who used ai and instead encouraged them to show their own art! She is so kind and sweet :))

[@hanin_gurl]

edit: thank you for continuing to encourage artists to draw art that is truly theirs!

[@rebelyn]

It’s very mature how you handled the AI experience! I’ve had a case where even though I submitted all my art proof and layers, the moderators of a discord art server still wouldn’t let me in cos they said my art looked like AI art style ^^” I didn’t know how to react or if I should be happy or not but AI ‘style’ is still inspired by real artists

Ah, do you know their address?

2:40 thank you so much for the compliments! And thank you so much for your advice! I definitely struggle with lighting, it’s one of my art goals for this year. I’m so glad you think it’s cute 🥰

[@inumix4]

I have a tip I use for lighting, because I also have a struggle with lighting... I usually draw a circle in the side where the light is coming from, like an imaginary sun, and keep in mind to draw light on the side where it comes from, and shades on the opposite side

Your characters look soooooooo good! I love your style!

[@Queen_Katt]

Even though I didn’t submit, I still got a lot of great advice so thank you!

[@T.C.I.]

1:34 for this piece they are drawing a character from chainsaw man and her character has spirals in the eyes so I don’t think you should have taken that out because it’s a very character defining feature. (Also if you do this again how could I enter)❤

[@Luna-us]

Maybe rebekah didnt know😓

[@Dri3xA]

I have a feeling that she wouldn't watch Chainsaw Man so she wouldn't know about Makima

[@ii.sxlary8742]

She wrote in the description how you could enter

BRUH WHY WOULD SOMEONE SEND AI 'ART' smh Edit: L2DM handled this with so much kindness tbh props to her

[@AwesomeDoggy88]

This video is super helpful! I never really understood vanishing points that well, but you explained it in such an easy to understand way that I feel like I can now apply it to my own art

[@Love2DrawManga]

Glad it was helpful! =D

[@choreocious]

3:45 i never noticed this until now! :O i always added heavy noise and chromatic abberation in my art because i assumed it made it look more interesting, but i never realized it took away from it. i'm so glad i watched this video :) tysm rebekah!

[@rennnrennnn]

i like how you don't change the style like other artists do. you improve it but still keep it stylized and don't just do the "you're style is wrong" thing a lot of people do

This is such a fun way to learn, your voice is so calming and soothing, you're also so kind, encouraging, actually making art less intimidating for new artists 💙💙 and I love love love your accent, I think it's so cute 😭💙

Aw, thank you so much! 💕

[@telliscopee]

hello! I was playing a mobile game called Kawaii home designer, where you can decorate cute rooms with many items. i thought it would make for a good video if you made a room in the game and then tried to draw it as a background? since i think you've mentioned struggling with backgrounds, it would be good practice as well. its just a suggestion :3

[@creepywaffles4783]

Ooo! That sounds like a good video idea I hope she sees this!

[@leoartwork]

I have so much respect for you being so friendly and calm about the AI picture. I would have been super pissed if someone would send me this

[@liv.3627]

I love how you give actual advice and tips to help the artist. Most art tubers I see on youtube like to make fun of the art piece and lean towards being harsh rather than being a bit nicer to the artist and giving actual tips. I think some art tubers forget that these artists might be young and are still learning there ways. I just love how kind you are and gentle with the way you give advice.

[@EggoBeggo__]

I love how you don’t completely change the art style and how you give helpful tips, thank you for doing that!

[@devonteedwards2093]

Really great critique on the art, they look really cool

[@vampybyte7812]

I actually think you handled the AI situation very well and understanding. I like to pop my pieces in AI to see if theres any element it adds I would like to add myself. I honestly think there is nothing 100% wrong with using Ai, just becomes an issue when you try to pass it off as yours. I'm just one of those people that finds hating something like that with every fiber of my being exhausting , I got work and life to do that already, long as the person is really just using ai for inspiration or ideas I really see no issue. Over all I think you handled the situation very maturely and gave the person some sound advice.

[@blulsixl1004]

Be careful bc I've heard there are some AI generators that store the images you use in their AI systems

[@vampybyte7812]

@@blulsixl1004 I'm honestly not even that bothered about that because I generally use photos that aren't for any of my larger projects or experimental art regardless. I guess I just really don't have that mentality of "all my work can't be shared/ used" I haven't even found my true final style yet either and I've been drawing a long time, I guess that's why I'm really not too bothered or afraid of that? Ai is Ai and regardless if it did take elements of my style, it would be mashing it together with other elements as well. I don't condone those people who made ai specifically to copy other's styles though, that was clearly done out of malicious intent. I mostly use an app that generates anime like pictures anyway which is kind of my style but not truly because I am a gothic artist as well, it's still not a set mix of the two as i still got a lot to learn and grow.

[@Wisteriaaaaaaa]

the thing is most ai nowadays steals other artist's artworks to be able to generate more stylized and accurate prompts, so ai that steals art is definitely wrong and most ai does that

[@AbdouAbdou-ks3jo]

I love so mutch your art and I’m a big fann❤❤

[@Cult_of_Rosalina]

your videos are amazing just to lison to whilst drawing myself and to watch!

3:15 I think the "shading" on the shoulder is actually more of like a blush? but yeah, it applies to the hand

[@maryssketchbook]

This was a great video!!! ❤

[@zerareota1560]

When I add finishing touches/affects I tend to erase lightly around high detail areas like the face or hands or anything meticulous so you can get the affect without making your art hard to look at

Man, most people say that they started taking drawing more seriously a few years ago and their art looks really nice meanwhile I'm drawing most of my life and sure, I didn't draw masterpieces at 4 y/o but I can't even draw hair, faces nor anatomy... Actually, scratch that. I magically improved in drawing hands and some other things mostly by watching people like you draw and I hope the best for anyone reading this! Have a nice day or night

[@zerareota1560]

I always draw mouths so low to the face but it’s more that I’m like averse to giving proper amounts of chin. I think part of it is that my rendering style is very flat and I don’t think abt the three dimensionality of the lips and chin until I draw a side profile

For the person being lit by the moon maybe they could put a reflection of the moon in their eyes. It would be stylized and not realistic but I think having a bit of moon in their eyes would be cool, also maybe cooler light
