In 51 seconds you managed to teach me, a color blind person, how to make cohesive color palettes - something that has taken nearly 30 years. Thank you.

Are you fully colorblind?

[@selfactualizer2099]

That doesn't add up. Even if you're color blind you can still read and comprehend colors in lessons, my grandpa is colorblind but has no problem understanding how color interacts with eachother. 30 years? Was 95% of the time procrastination?

Here are Some of koolen's tips you will hear in all of her videos 👀 1. Eyes are one eye apart 2. Take a reference( in other words cheat) 3. Draw only attractive people 4. Make the lips 'juicy' :')

[@Khann_2102]

What does that first point mean? Sorry my English is bad

[@strawberryzombie5474]

@@Khann_2102 when drawing the eyes. You pretend there is an eye in the middle, on top where the nose is so both the eyes when you draw are even and look better than having both of the eyes too close together. Sorry I tried to explain. (ˊ̥̥̥̥̥ ³ ˋ̥̥̥̥̥) Im pretty sure Koleen has a video about it and would explain it better (๑•̥̥̥́ω•̀ू๑)

[@Miguelrirez-ne6kq]

tip I learned, if you can’t get the eyes to look set in the head (especially matching one eye) tilt the one eye towards the center, this way the one eye looks set inside the skull according to the planes of the face etc

[@sour.creamandonion]

using references isn’t cheating…

For Medibang users! The "Lasso Fill" tool in Medibang is a brush called "Fill" and it works pretty much the same way. Hope that helps! Edit: there are a few asking about what tool it is in other art programs. Unfortunately, I don't know. Sorry!

i’m so happy i found you . i’m looking at art videos since years and your teaching is the first that resonates so much with me . i’m finally improving so much also thanks to your brush that you are using !! thank you so much for making me having fun again while drawing ^w^

[@lynxxlynxx]

I think I commented on this somewhere before, but for me there is no cheating in art. I realized this very early on when I was working on an art project at my school and visitors came up to me and saw me using Scotch tape on my acrylic painting to get sharp edges. They looked at me stupidly and asked if that was allowed. And at that moment, it "clicked." I hadn't even thought about whether that was cheating and that's when I realized that you should never do that. In art you do what you enjoy and you can take the easiest way to reach your goal. You want to express yourself and the way there is also part of your expression.

Almost 5 years of drawing digitally, and only now I've come to learn what the anchor in the transform tool is for. Thank you

[@Raven5563]

Thank you so much for these tips. You're a real life-saver. I had no idea about the anchor point for the transform tool, or using keys with it. I loved the tips on palette, and using a background color helped a lot. I love using the lasso tool to fill, but I didn't know about enclose and fill. Off to go get it! It'll teach me to remember to keep my lineart layer separate from now on. Again, many thanks! Smile 😊 .

With the color pallet trick, I make my pallet then on a new layer set to color blend mode with a low opacity I wash the pallet with the "vibe" color as a clipping mask then merge those two layers same effect but it keeps the contrast of the original colors. Where just lowering the opacity as you did will lower the contrast of your pallet

if you're on an ipad, get Procreate!! hands down the best drawing app on ios devices, it's just a one time 10$ fee for a program that's on par with Photoshop and clip studio

[@noface1184]

i would agree with otaku-chan, procreate is super user friendly and everything is shaved down so you're not overwhelmed and can just focus on learning and getting comfy with that. there's also toooooons of tutorials so that's nice too, then when you are comfortable and confident you can choose another program with stronger features to go wild in.

[@hutao5481]

I agree with the past 2 on procreate, although if it's an app you dont want to spend money on you should stick to ibis paint.

Hi Kooleen! I just wanted to say thank you for being so beginner friendly! I’m in the beginning of my digital art(and art in general having done only sketches on paper before) journey and have watched a lot of ‘teaching da for beginners’ videos but i’ve always felt like I can’t apply their advice to my art because of lack of any formal education in art. I’ve always felt like in order to draw I have to know something I don’t and I couldn’t even tell what it was. But once I’ve stumbled upon your channel my art has become so much better. You encouraged me to switch from paint tool sai to csp and I finished my first digital illustration the day I downloaded csp using the brushes you recommended ( I’ve never finished my illustrations before because midway I didn’t like how it was turning out and it demotivated me to finish it). Thank you for making digital art world look less dense and hostile.❤️

Wait so I thought the Instagram post size was 1080 by 1080. How exactly are those dimensions you mentioned better for posting on Instagram? I always just make a large 2000 x 2000 px canvas and then size the canvas down to the Instagram post size (or Twitter, etc) and then post it like that. But it's admittedly tedious and I might be too dumb to realize a smarter way to do it lol.
