How I copied Rei_17’s style using Pinterest

I used Pinterest tutorials to better understand Rei_17's techniques and used them to work on a complex background for this illustration. I will take you through my entire process of breaking down this summer study!

Thanks for not gatekeeping, i cannot afford art school so videos likes this help so much

[@gold_evii]

Around here we don’t gatekeep, I’m so glad this helps!

[@slothguy5946]

There are websites that distribute free courses

[@pika7058]

Can you recommend which ones? ​@@slothguy5946

[@ManjigumiVirus]

bruh years drawing and I never find gatekeepers in art.

[@luxuriousmindset1906]

Knock off the gatekeeping nonsense nobody owes you anything art is a privilege not a right 😊

[@skipsbackup]

So I actually think her city background was a real image with filters on it. You went above and beyond

[@gold_evii]

That’s a secret the world may never know. ☺️

[@El_Sharko_]

2k subscribers???? What the actual fuck, how? This was so high quality, professional, concise. I hope your channel gets the love it deserves

[@gold_evii]

Thank you so much!!! Everyone in the comments has been incredibly kind!

[@Anqeli]

Omg I can't believe someone is finally talking about rei_17 (That I have yet seen on yt) I have always loved their artworks and wondered what they did espeically the colors they use. Nice work love the video :D

[@gold_evii]

Thank you! I know I love her use of colors so much!!

[@astrea_nyx]

how does this only have a few views

[@gold_evii]

Great question 😂

[@yannna_yan]

FINALLY THANK U FOR ANALYZING HER WORK i have been waiting for a video like this

[@gold_evii]

Your welcome! Hope it helps!

[@MissyMona]

You earned a subscriber, you really did an amazing job editing and going through the video. Loved the choice of music, and the speed at which you worked at it. Makes me want to try art studying some artists I love!

[@gold_evii]

Thanks for coming on this journey with me! J-pop/K-pop are such a vibe for art videos - boosts the serotonin! ☺️

[@mochiboni2560]

HOLY F*CK thank you so much!! this is incredible i genuinely LOVE rei_17's artworks and always wondered how they do it, I was able to understand a bit on the coloring process of the characters but when it came to the compositioning and background I am at a loss thank you thank you for this!!

[@gold_evii]

Thank you for your aggressively supportive comment!! 🤭💕 So glad it helped you out!

[@user-bd4rs2ec1k]

I LOVE REI SO MUCH THANK YOU FOR THISSS

[@gold_evii]

Sameee! So much fun!

[@joxiejoxie6457]

This video was phenomenal, you & are such amazing artists.

[@gold_evii]

Thank you!! Glad you enjoyed it!

[@emilylu677]

This is an amazing video, and I'm so glad it got recommended to me! I'm struggling with learning colors right now, and I think this will be really helpful

[@gold_evii]

Thank you so much! So glad it is helpful!

[@kensmusings]

This is soo well done!!

[@gold_evii]

Thank you!! 😊

[@lyneyoimiya]

this is a wonderful study and i was surprised by how well you were able to capture the original art piece!! I really love your voice! its very calming

[@gold_evii]

Thank you so much!! So glad you like it! They were roasting me in the comments a little bit 💕💕😂

[@faber_1500]

Wow ive been wanting to draw art like this thank you 🥹

[@gold_evii]

My pleasure 💕

[@p1to17]

woahhh not only are you a great artist, the quality and editing of your video is amazing! i’m surprised you don’t have more subscribers lol.

[@gold_evii]

Thank you so much, I appreciate it!! 💕 I’m thankful for steady growth.

[@pii_27]

Great study. Thank you for this. 💕

[@gold_evii]

No, thank you!! Glad you enjoyed it!

[@niknic3409]

Oh wow this is great. Idk what it is with painting but I always forgot to use references let alone do any research but now looking back at it the research part is soo important especially when it starts to compounding. Definitely will adjust my workflow because of this. Thank you.

[@gold_evii]

Awesome!! Glad it helped!

[@SullivanCreate]

Amazing work through ! Thanks for sharing ❤

[@gold_evii]

Thanks!!

[@ig5213]

Amaizing video an analysis! Keep it up

[@gold_evii]

Thanks!! I have a few ideas cooking

[@Lissbirds]

Thank you!!! I've loved Rei's works for years, so I appreciate your analysis. The rendering is something so unusual, and I thought I saw used Paint Tool Sai, so I wonder if that contributes to the soft, shiny rendering.

[@gold_evii]

Thank you!! 🙂 All the greats use paint tool sai or photoshop! Sai was a program I always wanted to try when I was younger. Whichever program you use would definitely change the rendering process, totally agree with you there.

[@CrispyGranola]

This is insane!!!

[@gold_evii]

Thanks! It was such a fun process!

[@4zaax]

Wow this was so impressive 😍 keep it up

[@gold_evii]

Thank you!

[@gabrielhawk]

Wow, you're amazing! I had no idea Google Translate had that feature. I have so many art tips saved with Japanese, Chinese, or Korean texts, now I can finally understand them, tyvm

[@gold_evii]

Thank you!! Google translate is the best

[@nTu4Ka]

This. Was. Really. Interesting. Research. I. Also. Like. The. Style. Of. Rey.

[@mizkichan5211]

Hi, thank you for the wonderful video! I’ve been searching for ppl’s studies on rei’s workflow/coloring technique and finally found you. I’ve also been a fan of Rei, and from what i’ve researched: -she has a pretty detailed lineart but she often lower the opacity of the lineart layer + change the color of it. Her line work is also pretty thin so her color can be the focal point -she uses a lot of layer mode, and she stacks them on to have a nice effect/color. She uses mostly uses overlay? i think? judging from one of her process on pixiv -she has a very good, solid grip of color theory, especially values of colors. If you put few of her works that has very fun color going on (and said color choice seem not to make sense sometimes) on greyscale you can see… it makes sense

[@gold_evii]

Ohh thank you!! Glad you liked it, I used overlay on a couple of layers. Thank you for sharing your research 💕💕

[@bishalkoijam9818]

Just subscribed.. thank you for this ❤

[@gold_evii]

Welcome thanks for coming along on the journey!! 💕

[@benito9830]

Very nice❤✨

[@gold_evii]

Thank you!

[@owokoa]

I don't know if this is a usefull tipp for you but what I love to do in my artpieces which also helps alot with the color, is when the drawing is finnished I dublicate the Group layers and merge everything together (dont forget to dublicate incase smt goes wrong) And after everything is merged I play around with the curve tool. Make sure that the changes u make with the curve tool even look a bit too extreme, but that way colors which werent there before might shine trough which gives the drawing a much more interesting look. After that I just turn down the opacity so it doesnt look so extreme anymore -> more natural but it still has some new colors in it at the end. (I hope it was understandable sry my english isnt the best xD) the Artist shuen_art describes everything I just said more clearly and does alot videos that help with color theory

[@gold_evii]

Thank you for the advice, I’ll look into the artist you mentioned and your English is great!

[@necro7781]

WONDERFUL VIDEO

[@gold_evii]

Thank you!!

[@Hikari_28]

WOOOWW

[@gold_evii]

♥️☺️

[@viieswkit]

Is there a chance that we could ever get a more in depth tutorial ? Like for Rei's hair and skin and clothes? ;;

[@gold_evii]

When I find another illustration of hers to obsess over…Yes absolutely!!

[@christinaedwards7072]

I adore rei_17. I do remember back in the day that they didn't like the idea of people studying their artworks at one point, though. I always feel a bit of shame the more I analyzed them, but I couldn't help myself they're so gorgeous. But I can tell from this video how much is out there that I know nothing about from them. I've never gotten very far on looking into them, I think I'll go ahead and try harder! I've always definitely been inspired by them through my work anyways, and tend to study their techniques alongside _RAB_'s.

[@gold_evii]

That’s awesome! There’s so many good artists to study!

[@DavidStartsArt]

I love your videos keep it up

[@gold_evii]

Thank you!!

[@arthurvanz2884]

When I saw this post I thought it was from an already astabñished populair creator . It's crazy you only have a couple hundred subscribers , I hope this vid gets more attention !

[@gold_evii]

Thank you so much! I know I am a artist with a small following but I am very grateful for the steady growth I have had so far!

[@kanonvolt5391]

comment so the algorithm boosts this video. This study was so interesting to watch

[@gold_evii]

Thanks for the boost! Much appreciated, and glad you liked it!!

[@wwdenden]

Woooh

[@gold_evii]

♥️☺️ Ty!!

[@erlanggalaksono9664]

u shud do dion mbd's style next

[@gold_evii]

Thanks for the suggestion!! I’ll look into them!

[@elvendork021]

Rei is very opposed to people copying her style and has spoken openly about this issue bc of one main reason: style is not developed by copying what you like but rather by exploring your unique way of translating and reimagining the reality. Also the way she draws hands is uniquely based on the anatomy of her own hands. She’s actually very open about her colour techniques, how to use colours to bring out and emphasis certain emotions, how to make all the colours in one painting to serve one quality of one main colour etc.

[@gold_evii]

I have my own style, this was purely to learn new techniques. Thank you for the insight, it’s good to learn more.

[@coraliacries4209]

omg i love her style so much but the drama around her is kinda notorious lmao (accuses everyone of copying her on weibo, from poses to colors... bad mouths her co-workers on projects she works on, generally bad mouths everyone... etc.) Her art's still GORGEOUS AUGH I also take inspo from her I even own a art book from her... 😭😭😭😭 Ignore me being a negative silly, this is such a well made video with lots of effort I love it!! ALSO HELLOO THE FINAL PIECE AND ALL THE EFFORT YOU PUT INTO THIS IS SHOW STOPPING!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@gold_evii]

I had no idea about all that drama 👀Thank you so much for your comment, it made my day!

[@coraliacries4209]

@@gold_evii Yeha search up her user and "weibo" and you'll see lots of people talking about her behaviour on there even if you can't access weibo

[@aurelie9230]

@@gold_eviishe’s more than that 😭 prolly one of the most toxic artist on the internet, couldn’t even count the number of dramas and bad mouth she made. But she’s too good that it blinds everything

[@Jennlynconcept]

This is the iPad 11?

[@gold_evii]

iPad Pro 12.9in from 2021

[@Deminogg]

That background music is annoying and obnoxious.

[@gold_evii]

How do you not like k-pop?

[@sev2981]

Agreed, it’s so distracting compared to the monotone voice.

[@weatethepie]

Great video. But you sound too robotic.

[@gold_evii]

😂

[@TechnicznieRzeczBiorac]

I love that artists shout at AI and they themselves do the same thing as it xd

[@lleuad4u_.]

How is this doing the same thing as AI?

[@pookie-lu6939]

Literally, why are you here? Why are people so insistent on comparing AI art to traditionally/digitally drawn art. It’s not the same thing. Have some respect for your craft. AI art shouldn’t be in the same box as hand-drawn art because it’s an entirely different process. It should be its own thing just like photography is.

[@baoaouu]

cool vid but ur literally unbearable to listen to 💀 please speak fast and finish your sentences thank you

[@gold_evii]

😂 thanks i guess

[@taliaj6483]

Listening to you talk is like nails on a chalkboard sorry!

[@Robogumo]

Please talk normal this puts me to sleep

Great study. Thank you for this. 💕
