AYOOOOO omg omg i opened my eyes and RAN to this - JUST FINISHED wowowowow djkafljdklsjf;sadkfsa ;w; first of all - I LOVEEEEEE this angle/style of watching you draw holy shit!!! It reminds me of stream just edited down!? I think being able to see your hand real time is fucking awesome. It's literally like.... watching an up-close magician fr you just do a line.. and do a line... and I'm WAtching you do it... and all of a sudden fucking magical miracle there's this literal wholly expressive person on the screen I CANNOT FATHOM God i was cackling hearing the VO - i am simultaneously so sorry for putting you through this and also NOT SORRY BECAUSE YOU LITERALLY NAILED IT YOU LITERALLY DID EXACTLY WHAT I WAS HOPING + MORE like good lord your decisions on this rendering style was 1000/10 perfection. I also think it interestingly goes so well with what you were saying about being unsure about dealing with someone elses character - like having one of the layers be sketchy kind of gives a very fluid interpretation/flexibility, especially when it comes to subtle emotions?? And also LOLLLing in disbelief about how ... WELL. how PERFECTLY you capture expressions and emotions - I TOTALLY see what you're saying with Jago omg - and that even though Barathir isn't over the top, seeing him drawn with your expertise in expression captured just a massive range... and I think that's just one of the things you are so freaking nuts at ... you can explicitly show so much emotion in ANY characters face, whether they are super showy and over the top, or very subtle or stoic. I feel like you can draw "sad" 50000 different ways, depending on the nuances of the character. nuts. NUTS!!!! UR NUTS i cannot overemphasize how much I love how this turned out and how GRATEFUL I AM TO LOOK AT IT ALL THE TIME EVERY DAYYYYYYYYYY - I AM IN AWE ;w; He's so REAL also "i cant draw pretty" draws the prettiest motherfuckers- So so fun to see you work and hear your thought process hahahah - altho again I am so sorry for stressin you ouTTT HAHAH I LOVE YOUUUUUU thank you so much you literally will never comprehend how much I love it

[@ARTBYNIPS]

OMGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG I'M JUST GETTING TO THE COMMENTS AND THIS WAS HIDDEN AMONG THEM!!!! You're too kind AHHHH omg you were so thoughtful and thorough with your reply; thank you so much for all the kind words and letting me draw your baby!!! I'm so happy you liked it LOVE YOUUUUUUU GAWD HAPPY BDAYYYY 😭😭😭😭😭😭🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤 ALSO LOL- Justin usually puts a finished product pan at the end but he forgot this time 😂 He's still OP though 🥰

[@TheBlackHatOutlaw]

Just wanted to let you know that there was atleast one person who understood the work backwards concept BEFORE you got to the puzzle edge description! Lol, I've had to do it myself. While I TOTALLY get how it goes when drawing other people's characters, but I remind you that what WE see as the artist and what the person sees as the recipient, are not the same thing. If she trusts you like that, it means she loves your style and sense of artistic license as they are. Oh, and that sketchy yet rendered look you were trying to achieve? NAILED IT.

[@meepmeep1341]

that expression at the bottom right corner, he looks so dreamy and ethereal!

[@alphapuph]

i like this video style if it gets too slow we can just x2 it! would love to see a quick timelapse maybe at the end of the videos.

[@ARTBYNIPS]

LOL same problem here! 😂 Okay I'll see what I can do for the next one then! Thanks for the suggestion 😊

[@axserwz5022]

Seeing this video in my recommended gave me nostalgia. This is probably the third time I found your channel and every time I do, I get a little better at art. I looked at your thumbnail and smiled thinking, that doesn't look impossible anymore😁 have a good one💙

[@solsticesun5131]

I have a tendency to over-render, so lately I've been trying to strip my process down and focus on shapes and textures through the simplest means possible. This video puts into words so many of the things I've been experimenting with, makes me feel like I'm heading in the right direction!

[@starburst740]

my favorite thing about your art is the line width and your coloring, its so inspiring fr I love this sm !!

[@specialwiener7046]

Your art style is fantastic,I love it

[@merbecker1405]

i rlly love this new style of recording that the new wave of artists r using, so much entertaining! :))

[@anonymous_bag5241]

Someone who shows the whole process of how to draw a face! Bravo❤

[@jonteguy]

You are so talented, my God. As someone who does game dev and being forced to make concepts of characters at times, I wish I had your talent.

[@Samjbtz]

Gah your art 😍 these are so gorgeous! Love the slower video style too, it’s awesome to see your brushwork! Thanks Nips!!

[@LycheeSlayer]

i love this new video style. It's fresh and we as an audience get to see your magic at work! Your commentary makes it very warm and welcoming!

[@KromelRulz]

I love the perspective, super interesting to see your hand while you draw.

[@bosselot]

everytime i need some inspiration to start drawing I just watch one of your videos and it works wonders. Id love to see more stuff like this in the future!! especially getting to see your process in real time and hearing your thoughts.

[@Nanobit84]

More of this please. I love seeing expressions. They are great for reference

[@SilentTrip]

I love this new filming set up, you are always an inspiration to me as an artist

[@ARTBYNIPS]

Thank you!!! I'm glad you liked 😭

[@benipray]

I love this new filming style! It's relaxing and interesting to watch, as an artist myself too. I really like watching the real time strokes!! Happy 2023! 💗

[@Dawkqueen]

I like this video speed plus the added bonus of seeing you make the strokes helps viewers understand your technique

[@user-mi5hg7co2s]

i really love this format

[@ElizavetaMalysheva]

Омега😇 + Альфа😇 = Любовь💘💞

[@whoamiitsmememe]

this is really beautiful character, i'm in love

[@rapasdecoeur7017]

I'm glad you talked about losing the drawing's energy when rendering it. I often struggle with it and it's good to know people also do !

[@springroll381]

I love this real time!! It makes it easier for me to see how u sketch!! Ur art is so pretty ❤❤

[@Artofizanagi]

I love this so much and hearing just ramble on about the piece is quite satisfying.

[@Sieshy]

I actually really love the way you did this video. Im someone who's just getting into art and watching your process actually helped me learn a LOT. watching this actually made me realize for what i want to do i was making things too big or small, also seeing others sketching process is always a treat in my eyes

[@ocherryyy8415]

It's so beautiful! Thank you very much for the video ❤

[@rcdakara]

I like this video style a lot. I watch speedpaints to observe how an artist might be thinking while they work, but this offers a lot more information without needing to be a tutorial. It’s a pretty comfortable format, for a lack of better words. The commentary was also pretty interesting. I want to start commissions this year, and the struggle of portraying something close to the creator’s own interpretation of their character is something I’ve thought about. It’s only natural that there’d always be a gap between both visions. Seeing you succeed and pull of such a nice expression sheet despite how challenging it was for you is so satisfying👍👍

[@thevankind]

Youve gained a follower, I absolutely love this pace and commentary and and and everything! Would LOVE to see more character expression sheets!!

[@maxielllee2866]

Omg this is so beautiful and amazing, I liked this video style a lot, it is really cool, I liked seeing you making the lines and absolutely enjoyed seeing the color chooses ❤

[@RewRewster]

This has been in my reccomended FOREVER, and I finally clicked cause I had nothing much I was doing at the moment and I was actually very intrigued. I feel very relaxed as I annotate my school notes while listening and watching your video, so thank you lol. Definitely gonna check out more videos

[@andioop6686]

This is late but I really enjoyed this type of video! I find your voice and thoughts very relaxing and almost every time I turn one of these on I get inspired to draw myself. So long videos like this are awesome for drawing along to!

[@a.captiveaudience]

Love this format and angle

[@remomareno]

Been a fan of you and Gibi, this was a treat ☺️

[@driftboat9809]

this video was incredibly motivating and really enjoyable to watch! thank you so much

[@kims.inkss.]

Personally love both styles of videos! I think a mix of both is great :) always get excited when I see you posted a new video 😭

[@Anivia92]

I will always prefer going through the entire drawing practice. its just more enthralling and entrancing to see, and to hear some of the though process behind it.

[@bettyolr9641]

The expressions are amazing! And the character design along with the coloring is wonderful! 🙏💖

[@ARTBYNIPS]

Thank you so much! 🥹

[@enemmii]

i like this style better..i love watching how u do the strokes :D

[@saracervicato]

I love it so much! 😍

[@NineTailedFate]

I love this style of video!

[@katon4525]

What a beautiful drawing and yes more videos like these please!!

[@kazzzzzzzzzz6]

love this format / angle of filming aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

[@chiyuku]

i really enjoy this type recording for art vids. sometimes i find speedpaints to be too fast and detached from the watcher, but these where u actually see the hand makes the video more down to earth? idk how to explain it feels like watching your friend draw and easier to learn seeing ur hand strokes etcetc

[@amalathisdreaming]

I really enjoy this view, there is something inspiring about seeing that there is truly a human behind the screen, doing the lines. I think it would be great to have a look at piece from the screen view at the end of the video though, just to see details across the image.

[@alphapuph]

Happy New Year!

[@phiruart]

Love how you draw expressions! OOOHH I need to improve with creating more character sheets!

[@lionlessart]

I like both styles, even both in one vid is good

[@ripxdoc]

greatly enjoyed watching from this view/angle hope you enjoyed your holidays and new years! take care

[@remomareno]

I really like the video style! And like you suggested a sort of screencap after of the finished result would make it complete for me

[@Bakemonwithahat]

Big fan of how you do the commentary. It's really insightful on the process in a way that I don't see a lot. Also I like the tablet recording setup. Maybe it'd be good to show the finished piece at the end, but otherwhise it's a really solid video style.

[@hallelidner8637]

✨✨💜💜incredible

[@leanalapointe4209]

Love this longer video style :)

[@mkt._]

Great to see the whole process in such detail! Not sure whether its your voice or you drawing, but our cat was absolutely entranced with the video - came and watched the whole thing intently 😆

[@estefaniamurillo7156]

I love! This new drawing/recording method, you can split the video so we can see it all 🤩😊

[@NikFishStix]

Just found this channel and these irl actual time drawings are JUST MY FAVORITES, I would love to see more!!! Bell icon? Smashed! Love your art, seriously

[@ARTBYNIPS]

Thank you so much 🥹🖤

[@artistically_nancy]

Omg heyy I'm here from seeing gibi's vid the character is charming and your art is so beautiful

[@nighttimeserenity2447]

I have this weird totally normal habit that kicks to life during drawings or speedpaints, that cause me to start drawing when i just intend to learn a bit xD Now im drawing my friend as his more.. Elfish-like persona, inspired from what later winds up being the Top Middle pose. Although the design quickly loses any semblance of the inspiration, i have now wound up with a new drawing project due to a video that rather amazingly shows different angles and a superb way to draw. This video gave me a lot to think about!

[@tidusyumemiru]

Love the video, love the expressions, know the struggles x.x. PureRef -Thank you!!- Been looking for something like this!

[@matttherat8309]

Hey I just found this vid~ It’s very helpful! Your art is beautiful- I subscribed 💅🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

[@bohemianraspberry6010]

hi new subscriber here :DDD i really love the video style i feel like artists on instagram and tiktok often dont show how long it takes to actually make a piece, also its nice to play in the background while im sketching cause it feels like im drawing with someone :)

[@richardsmith175]

I can relate to having done a beautiful sketch then loosing the energy when laying down lines.

[@nonyobusiness4686]

Goddamn that artstyle 😫😫

[@ogkpopper]

I just read the two latest episodes of the comic and JAGO HAS MY WHOLE HEART MY SWEET BABY 😭😭😭 EVERYONE BETTER GET THEIR HANDS OFF HIM

[@minty1691]

So beautiful, your art style is so nice! Also, what do you use to draw with? It looks exactly what I was searching for!

[@graytheghost8912]

I prefer the slower version rather then the speed paints !

What canvas size is that? I always struggle to find a decent size for my clip studio canvases

[@valentinamoguelc.8165]

Hello, i don't speak english but i liked your video, may i know what tablet and program you are drawing on? 👉👈

[@yukichan177]

speed paints are fine tho XD its just need a clean editing without jump cuts and be less speedy :D

[@user-uo2bi8gq6u]

How do u get your pens and stuff smooth on there because mine is always little pixels and i dont know howw:(((((((

[@jokerjerk]

Could you post your screens dpi, width and height?

[@NovaRift36]

May i know which software you are using

[@YurManYouTube]

Hi. What kind of graphics tablet?

[@bloombunnie]

tamlin from acotar??

[@AliceFlorand]

26:10 - HOW u add that shadow and this dont off the lines?

[@Florescent4Colors5]

What was the program you were using for references?? I'm really curious about it!

[@rcdakara]

You didn’t ask me, but the program is called PureRef. It’s really good. It’s completely free. You can do cool things like copying the URL of a Pinterest board and pasting all of the images from the board right into PureRef. It has a lot of shortcuts and cool tricks that make it really easy to gather your references and look at them as you draw. There are videos about some of those tricks, so I recommend checking it out👍👍

[@Unknown-Hooman]

Hate to be this person but what brushes are you using?

[@Deviant.0]

holy shit ... havent seen you in a while

[@martinemmanuel4119]

I suck at this each time i try.How do I do this ?. Can you or anyone write it step by step basic.

[@rivenharlow]

What tablet do you use? You ought to link that in your Amazon Affiliate storefront, too.

[@ARTBYNIPS]

Wacom Cintiq 16! I'm scared to put that in there since it's so expensive and probably better to get it directly from Wacom 😂🖤

[@rivenharlow]

@@ARTBYNIPS Ah, I was contemplating getting the Wacom Cintiq 16 Pro! But yeah, it's a pricy little guy. lol

[@Orangeee24]

Does anyone know what software and device she’s using for drawing? I’m thinking of upgrading from procreate lol

[@ARTBYNIPS]

I use a Wacom Cintiq 16 and Clip Studio Paint EX + Photoshop CC 😊

[@Orangeee24]

@@ARTBYNIPS thank you!

[@june2921]

Can you share your brush settings? I’ve been struggling with mine a lot ;-; loved the video

[@yeahItsLai]

WHAT APPPPPP

[@kimchi8022]

Hello! I’m a new viewer and I would like to say that I really like this style of video! I like that I can see your brush strokes and process. In fact, if it was a speed paint I probably would have clicked away. I just personally can’t watch them because they can get overwhelming for me. :(

[@ARTBYNIPS]

Hello! Yeah, a lot of people have told me that and I'm trying this method instead! Glad you liked it and hope I can keep this up 😊

[@irmenhild7258]

The cousror staying so far from the tip makes me painful.

What tablet is this

[@ARTBYNIPS]

Wacom Cintiq 16!

[@KouD3Graw]

Video slow. Changed speed to 2. Perfect for my ADHD brain to digest. Fast talkin' Nips. :3

[@mysticpearl16]

Maybe you can just do slower screen recorded speedpaints

new upload thanks nips :D
