How I copied Samdoesarts to make my art NOT suck

[@tazakart]

I just wanted to say, huge shout out to tppo. If you can't tell, I was highly inspired by his videos, and he was the reason I wanted to make long-form videos again. As this is my first real go at long-form videos, please let me know what you think! Feedback is much appreciated 👍

[@xhncx]

Its amazing tbh

[@musingsofmessa]

I know tppo! I'm subscribed to them, and I think they're videos are very informative. For me, my method to retaining artist studies is I trace the piece beforehand, and use the traced version as my reference. And immediately after, I open a reference window & apply what I learned by sketching it out, if that makes sense. :3 I started studying that way when I began watching mikeymegamega's how to draw anime videos. And it greatly helps! 💜 I don't know why I didn't do that before.

[@SanzoArts]

Please make a tutorial on how to copy his video style, his editing is great

I've been seeing some videos analyzing art process just like tppo and I'm loving every one of them

that's who I thought you were at first! I went to your channel wanting to watch his previous vids and was like "where'd they all go!?" I really enjoyed this!

[@saltt2069]

omg i just realized how underrated you are, you kept my attention throughout the video and i really liked your studying process. this has given me little tips and tricks to add into my art, you broke down the little details too, making everything clearer. i would love to see more! i honestly don’t know how you only have 700 subscribers

[@tazakart]

for sure! Do you got any specific suggestions?

[@sony_mewixon]

Could you please do a breakdown of an artist called Lily? She used to draw stylised naruto fanarts. It may be difficult to find her art now, but I'm sure there is at least fb group with backup of most of her drawings. Honestly I've been a fan of her style since 2007 when I first discoveres it and haven't found any artist with similar style till this day. Would be fantastic to see your analysis on her style ❤

Hey I genuinely want to thank you, I have adhd and my attention span is indeed like a goldfish but for some reason your choice of music, speed of explantation and tone of voice really kept my brain to focus. You gained a subscriber :)

[@CubsYT]

I'm really impressed with the quality of the video! Definitely earned a subscribe! I've been quite inspired by Sam's artstyle myself and I think that's very prominent looking at my more recent drawings, it's cool seeing you break down the process rather than just looking at the end result itself :)

[@trashcannoisseur]

This breakdown is useful, the only things I remember from his videos are use reference, flip canvas, and skull of enemy I have so much trouble picking colours that I don't even go past the sketch phase most of the time

[@tazakart]

I know it sounds boring but try black and white painting! It makes it less daunting to add paint onto a sketch!

[@arikiwiiwiiwi2602]

This was so helpful! Like I never quite grasped the concept of hard cuts, but that small short segments hit me hard like a brick!

Great work mate and much appreciated. I will definitely use this as a guideline when starting to focus on portraits in the future,as I really like Sam and Ross's style, and I can tell that You like them too. Thank you for this.

[@tiffanyscrafts5305]

You're so right about viewers having the attention span of a goldfish. Thank you for frequently reviewing parts of the video and simplifying sam's process into steps. If there's one thing I will remember in six months, it's "Warm, Cool, Warmer."

[@raini989]

for halftone in procreate I use the default rosette brush! it’s in the textures section 🥰 trust me I hate the halftone filter too😅

[@artydrawss]

Wow this was really impressive! You should make this a series where you break down other artists styles to see how they work! You should do DDMark next!

[@solidcriminal9797]

thank you so much for this!! Sam's art is one of my biggest inspirations but I can never tell what he's doing or how he's doing it just from watching him draw. He gives good art tips but it's spread out among 118 videos.

[@lufeic2931]

this could be such a cool series of breaking down and studying different artists and cutting them down to bite-size pieces :)

[@Schreibaby]

The halftone brush you’re looking for is in your brushes (it comes with Procreate!), they’re the texture brushes, and it’s the “decimals” brush.

[@zamirabramowitz7516]

never thought of studying an OC that i like and convert the art style to a random reference photo study based on the OC character. brilliant, i feel in such a duhhh moment. i now see a clearer path to rise up to, at least for now... thank you so much for existing you deserve my support.

[@RadishTheFool]

I love the way you painted this piece! And it's amazingly helpful to be able to watch how you do it, and hear your thought process. Thank you so much! Also, little tip for micron-type pens: they give a very consistent line when you hold them upright (almost vertically). Not very comfortable, but that's how they work. Although I do agree that the Uni Pin pens are even less fun to work with in that regard. I also found them to feel unpleasant going over the paper as compared to my old micron pens. Once mine run out, I'll definitely buy a different brand.

that's crazy that u summarized all this in 10mins. I've seen prolly 50 of his vids and learnt (in my own way) what this video provides, but damn if I had seen this 3 years ago it would have been mind blowing tbh (and i prolly would have noticed things quicker) Keep up the great content man you're really special dude.

[@garymcderp1146]

Nice work! Also i’m pretty sure Procreate has a halftone brush. Also it takes about 1 minute to make a custom one since all you need to do is select a round shape, and for the grain there is already a halftone texture included in the library. I actually made a few rake brushes in Procreate also, after watching Sam using them.

[@hvll3dvll]

You can apply halftones using the brush option vs. layer

[@racapinang]

Feels like this is the effective way to discovering new ways to draw, because honestly, I didn't have signature theme or style when drawing. I just draw for fun!! And sharing ofc cuz I like to give drawing as gifts. And thank you for making this, definitely helpful. Subs!!

I was never able to use colors how I wish to so I need to study other artists until I'll reach the ability and freedom to play with them.. seeing others doing the same thing I wanna do is pretty cool, I love this kind of videos they give me hope and I know I'm not alone

[@agyab3d]

yeah..i don't really do portrait but i really do like this guy paintings,"Sam" like soo much ..the colors are soo eyes catching..

[@alenaaiapergenova8983]

Thank you a lot! Sam is like one of top artists I admire if not #1 at the moment and this study actually helped me to under his style and process better! Though I think at the earlier stage your art looked a bit more like his art, because of the simplicity, later on you kinda made it way too complex for Sam but it still is an amazing work and Sam is definitely such an Amazing artist to look up to, I can’t believe I live in the same city with him rn. If I ever get a chance to meet him I ll probably dieeee

[@escake9209]

Cool video dud. About halftones in Procreate, you can apply them using a brush tool. If you dont want black halftone, just change the color with a layer alpha lock later

[@Yuvaln4]

Stuck on a drawing for a few days, trying to replicate his style for a birthday art surprise,and finally said ugh. Gonna look for another channel that maybe break down the animated style better. You got a subscriber. You are funny, good at editing, but mostly just made me understand where I suck. So thanks! Gonna look more into your videos.

[@Jay-ry1gs]

I can’t go through all the comments to see if someone else already said this, but when you select the halftone filter there’s a little arrow at the top of the canvas when you select the halftone filter, then you can select “brush” from the arrow that appears instead of the default of applying it to the whole layer. This lets you control where it goes cause you can just apply it with the brush and adjust the settings as normal

[@aynain1810]

Dudeee this video was genuinely fun to watch. Hoping to see more of you my guy! Gambare.

[@scribblingjoe]

You can just make a halftone brush. Just set the halftone texture as the grain of the brush.

[@thefatherboard6182]

there is actually a way I’ve discovered in procreate to make using halftones a little easier! When you go into the halftone filter, i know it seems that it’s all or nothing but that’s because it’s on the layer setting. Clicking where it says “halftone” with the % next to it allows you to switch it to pencil mode, which will only apply the halftones where you select on that layer. In my experience, if the halftones are black compared to the actual color you were adding halftones to, i alpha lock the layer and then tap it again and use fill layer with the original color. Hopefully this is helpful!

I'm really impressed, dude. You broke down his style really well and then replicated it using what you observed and it came out really, REALLY close. Geez.

[@tazakart]

:))) thanks

[@Ghost-hd5cu]

Another thing I noticed is he'll set up a lot of his tones with very light-handed strokes with a large round brush. He creates soft transitions almost naturally that way, and doesnt have to touch them much and tries to preserve them well.

This was so cool to watch! It definitely seems like a good idea if youre trying to improve your art!! Also, im not sure if anyone has pointed it out yet, but there is a way to have a halftone brush!

Its a bit difficult to explain , but i hope this made sense! :)
