Bro came out of nowhere and cooked the finest meal I've had in years. Amazing video and very insightful.

L that's heartening to hear, thanks

[@zombz8469]

I love how you explain your process. Your art style is so cute 🥰

[@LinesSensei]

thats really nice of you to say, thank you

[@shisketches01]

Wow, I love the way you stylize the anatomy! Especially simplifying the ribcage into an oval instead of a box, that tip was really helpful! 😊

[@LinesSensei]

Excellent, I'm really glad it's given you some value

Total respect for watching all the way through.

[@Eve.Valentine]

This video is fantastic, can't wait for more!!

[@LinesSensei]

Thanks, I'm sorry the schedule is gunna be a little slow till I've got my production groove down

[@blacku7193]

Looking forward more videos from you! I really enjoyed this one

[@LinesSensei]

Thanks, I'm so grateful to hear people are enjoying it.

[@duckacrobat2897]

most informative art video I've seen

[@LinesSensei]

wow, high praise. I'll do my best to earn it, thank you !

[@Idlemage]

Your videos gave me the motivation to get back into the art for my game. Im off to draw more monster girls

[@RohirSS]

Just stumbled upon your channel and I'm instantly a fan. Your style is clean and beautiful, and judging by the little slideshow of your work at the beginning of the video, I do believe I've found one kindred spirit of a cultured gentleman. I eagerly await all you choose to share.

[@LinesSensei]

thank you, also *sips tea* yes, cultured indeeeed

[@kaidenkelley]

I'd love to see how you break down faces or hands from reference!

[@LinesSensei]

I'm glad you're interested, I have those videos already planned. Since those elements are a fundamental building block of character illustrations i guarantee they're going to be some of the first ones I do.

[@cylus_the_squirrel7683]

your style is so clean and everything is so vibrant , and the process is literally step-by-step, thank you, this has helped me a tremendous amount, I'm looking forward to more videos for sure!

[@LinesSensei]

Im stoked you like it, and i'm grateful its useful to you, i appreciate you sharing that it's really nice of you

[@Hells_Sock]

I think your video got me out of my artblock

[@LinesSensei]

wow, that's great to hear. thankyou for sharing that, its very cool of you

[@tod-krieg-marmelade]

Holy shit, Lines is starting a yt channel. So looking forward to your work. I love seeing your indepth feedback on the discord and i hope i can one day submit my own drawings for critique. Personally id say you have a wonderful voice for commentary and i really appreciate guides that show the whole workflow/process instead of listing things to do. I wish you good luck and fun on your new endeavour. Looking forward to see more :D

[@LinesSensei]

wow that's great of you to say, i really appreciate that. as far as submitting your drawings, I'm on like a bunch of art discords so if you do submit some work odds are I'll see it and I'll do my best to say something helpful

[@dragongal13miner]

i don't usually subscribe to artists on YT (or anyone for that matter haha), but definitely dropping a sub! The way you showed and walked through your work process just feels so much more genuine, and easier to understand than a lot of other YT artists' videos tend to be, so I will totally be back when I'm feeling stuck if you keep posting! Also, not the "sus" comment at about 20:30 😭😂

[@LinesSensei]

wow I really appreciate that, I'm aiming for one a week, so it'll be a bit to get going but hopefully i'll keep it coming

[@TheRobertR]

Bro I started about two months ago on procreate trying to get lineart down along with the construction of the head and body really difficult I see you and you are a beast your line art is sooo crisp and precise it really is amazing

[@TheRobertR]

P.s. says you are a teacher do you offer classes 😮

[@LinesSensei]

@@TheRobertR its awesome to hear you're starting out learning something new, and i hear ya the head and body can be really tricky to approach, I'm working on a couple videos on head and body construction right now, mainly targeting accessibility for newer illustrators so if you decide to stick around to see them I'd love it if you'd let me know what you think about how the content works for you. as far as teaching, i have been, but presently I'm not, my plan is to start up some live small group tutoring through patreon, but that's a ways off. but any questions you have about anything in the videos feel free to reach out

[@TheRobertR]

@@LinesSensei You let me know when your patreon is up and I GOT YOU! My main question I have been trying to solve is understanding angles of the head and body and how to draw them in perspective. Perspective is easy to understand but hard to put into practice... Well atleast for me

reply for you, I really appreciate it, thank you

This has to be the best art process type of video I've seen, thank you for sharing this. :) Now time to go draw 😎

thankyou, and if you do want to share that work we've got a discord now so there's other artist there you can put it past ( I also want to see it)

super impressed with how thorough ur first tutorial is. Can't wait to see what other awesome videos you'll post on ur channel 👏👏

[@LinesSensei]

Thanks man that means a lot coming from a fancy artist like yourself

[@voices0000]

Awesome video. I love the way you break things down. Your teaching experience really shows. I don't even draw and I still watched most of it since it's so engaging. One thing I'd like to see would be a little gallery at the end or maybe even at the end of stages, showing the before and after side by side , like sketch plus finished ink, or before and after shading and post processing.

[@LinesSensei]

thats a good idea, like a process summary of the steps. thanks for the good idea

[@coldwintersoldier2194]

That was really good I was able to follow along can’t wait to see more

[@LinesSensei]

thanks for saying so, thats great to hear. I've had some feedback that this one was still a touch rushed so the next one will hopefully be at a less intense pace

[@Parasaurz]

This is super cool, I love the way you explain things

[@LinesSensei]

thanks I'm glad its helpful, and i appreciate you taking the time to say something nice to an internet rando, you have a great day

[@shameershahid3586]

Really loving your videos a lot. I really like how calming and relaxing it is while also being so engaging. The way you break down the process and explain everything you're doing is really nice and I'm really looking forward to future content. I usually draw as a hobby in my journals and on Krita and I feel really inspired by your content and you offered some really great direction that I might use to improve.

[@LinesSensei]

oh that's great to hear, thank you. if you do have some work and want to share it we've got a discord now so there's a bunch of other artists to share it with if that's something you want to do, i know i'd like to see it

I'm really glad you're getting some value from it, it's great to hear it's something that's been useful to people

[@mesasapoop]

The among-us joke is making me going to watch the among-us parody video song after this. Anyway~ Such amazing artwork as always~ This part just goes above my head though, cell shading has never been something that i have managed to be able to do with all my years drawing and painting, i just cannot fathom how to do it. I am trying to wrap my head around basic shading and shaping, but my mind over complicates simple styling, (doesn't help most of my shading is about 25 to 35 layers of shading per colored layer at the maximum and 10 to 15 layers are the minimum) I am going to keep trying to figure it out and watch more of your videos to try and figure out why basic shading seems so wrong to my eyes on my own artwork.

[@LinesSensei]

so for me the way i approach cel shading, is i give primary importance to dropped and cast shadows, they're the most important elements of shading, after that i do large areas of shading based on the broad surface planes.

[@lucazfc]

It would be amazing to see a real time video of you working. You could just stream to youtube, or use restream to stream simultaneously to twitch and youtube.

[@LinesSensei]

That's something I'd love to do in future. Presently I record my time lapses in pieces over a day or two just because I have other commitments that break up my day One day when this starts earning enough that I can afford to give it primary focus that's one of the first things I want to do

[@LOREk.]

thats great job on explaing every step i gonaa try this process , catch the sub

[@LinesSensei]

thank you that's really nice of you to do and say, if you do end up with work product you want to share I'd love to see it

[@Havik092]

really love your stuff! I'll be sure to check your other tutorials too

[@LinesSensei]

thanks, i hope theyre helpful

[@sabrinavladimira2079]

This video is clear and straight forward about the processes involved and is honestly the first time the process for rendering has clicked for me. Great work. If I had any critiques, think it would be helpful if at the end you compared the individual steps one after the other in sequence. I'm thinking it would be mostly helpful to really grasp what you're doing during "post-processing" compared to what it was before. That may just be me though.

[@LinesSensei]

that's great feedback and you're not the only one to say it, so that's looking like something I'll really have to implement. Thank you that's really helpful

[@ancientswordrage]

This is a great video! I can't wait for you to do some deep dives on certain techniques though, like linking layers to help shade the flats with a magic wand etc.

[@LinesSensei]

yeah it's super useful, and from watching a lot of speedpaints it looks like it isnt something as many people take advantage of as they possibly could

thanks i'm glad you like it

[@KnightEnjoyer69]

Ho boy, i just started trying to learn digital, this video gave me soooo much to work with! One thing im really struggling with is that my art style includes tons of dotwork, maybe i need to fiddle with resolution, but my dots really don't work as well compared with traditional art, they fail to do key textures ive used for years.

[@emolga2007]

Smooth voice!

[@LinesSensei]

i swear it's all the mic, in real life i sound like a buss top derro I'm pretty sure

[@demizewaffle8716]

Awesome video! so far you're becoming my fav Art KZbinr. Keep up the Amazing work! btw what brush do you use for drawing?

[@LinesSensei]

wow that's really nice of you to say, especially with how stacked KZbin is with amazing artists. as for my brush: my main workhorse is just the default hard round brush with pressure controlling opacity, with smoothing off for sketching, then with the same brush I put smoothing all the way up for inking, and then turn the smoothing off again to for adding thickness to the lineart where the figure would be darkest. for shading, again mostly the hard round brush, but i also use a free brush from the CSP store that's one of the million "SAi2 watercolour brush" clones, basically with light pressure it's a blender, and it doesn't drop paint UNTILL the pressure is past like 50% then it paints. so its like a 2 in 1 painter and blender depending how much pressure you use. i also use the big soft airbrush for postprocessing effects like gentle glows if the effect doesn't need any precision with the gradients it drops

[@demizewaffle8716]

@@LinesSensei Thanks for the brush Info! and Also thanks again for the Awesome video really helps a lot! I just started drawing about a month now and your video really helped me with drawing bodies.

[@lozaaat.8247]

Wow i love your sound , it make me can watch your video 2-3 time for learning your art and thank for many tip, i understand concept to color but i'm so confused about tool, thank you so much

[@LinesSensei]

thankyou, and yeah a lot of people have asked about tools, i only really use the default brushes so i go over what base ones i use here kzbin.info/www/bejne/oZjTmmyiZ5eNqaM but i am planning to make a more in depth "digital art techniques" video in future so i hope that is something you'd be interested in

[@lozaaat.8247]

@@LinesSensei thanks a lot ❤❤

[@Nightwalker1304]

Love the video but could you go more into detail about how you did the shading on the flat color. If at all on procreate if you can but if you can’t that is alright

[@LinesSensei]

i don't have procreate myself but when i do content on shading I'll always make sure it's applicable to as many pieces of drawing software as possible

[@Nightwalker1304]

@@LinesSensei okay that sounds great

[@toaplatino]

I really want to follow you on other socials but I can't seem to find them anywhere. Could you please give me a link or something. Great work!

[@LinesSensei]

i have an insta and a tiktok but they're just the reels that are already here and they're just to funnel back to YT, the only other thing i have is my gallery on newgrounds under the name lineslines

[@briarbrand6353]

subscribed! Is this your only account or are you on other platforms?

[@sebisman]

Amazing video!!! Do you have an online course or something? I love your drawing style and I would be interested in learning from someone like you.

[@LinesSensei]

so not YET, my plan is essentially to broadly cover everything from the basics of figures, lighting, shading etc. all the way through to tool specific stuff like post processing. after that i think i would like to make a more condensed course to put up on like udemy or lynda or something, but for now I'll work on scaffolding each step here so it will be a course-like overall structure to the videos

[@awawawaawawawa2321]

hey just found your channel, i like your content its to the point and actionable, are you willing to do mentoring and critiques as well as Q and A in the future? would love to get some help with my art and have alot of questions that need answering!

[@LinesSensei]

yes, I"m already active in a bunch of art discords in the critique space, and i'm working on getting a discord up and running that will be a space for people (myself included of course) to help each other progress and improve

Any plans on making a Clip Studio Paint tutorial? I'm thinking of swapping from Krita nabbing the pro version of it B)

[@LinesSensei]

so i do plan to make some tool specific guides, but in the interim I'm going to do my best to make sure the info in my tutes is applicable to all the proper drawing softwares

[@Goobstah]

@@LinesSensei DANG do you have any recommendations for tutorials then? Ive been on Krita just doing lineart and manually coloring it in cuz I have no idea how to set up my layers corrrectly for filling and such + I have no idea how to render or what brushes to use B)

I don't have any specific tutorials, though Naoki Saito has a full process tutorial which my process is loosely based off of. I had the link saved before his channel got wiped but I think he's reuploaded it since, sorry I don't have a link for it
