Full process videos are honestly the best "tip" someone can give. So much to learn on how other artist works. Thank you

[@kurohshiro]

I am glad, thank you!

[@astro3395]

yeah, u r super right. It's better to know the thought process of the artist from which people can learn. It cannot be considered copying or anything if u decide to follow the same process all the time. Bc Leonardo Da Vinci could teach you something but it cannot be the same, bc you simply arent the same person ehem anyways life is made to learn by imitation so seeing all the steps really helps to learn them and apply them on ur own. Kuroshiro is one of my favs art channel from the style to the simple explanations.

[@Sasukesanimation]

Yes i agree, jm more of a visiual learner so i see others do thrn j understand

[@strawberrymilkshake112]

This motivated me to draw again, I stopped drawing because of the AI art stuff. Thank you so much for sharing your art process! It reminded me of why I started drawing. Thank you!

[@kurohshiro]

human art always > AI Art. i am so so happy you haven't stopped drawing. And I will continue these videos to hopefully remind even more people on that. I think the joy of creating something with our own hands can't compete with any 'seamless' looking output an AI can do. So the own enjoyment and fun is the most important :)

[@anapple6912]

@@kurohshiro thats really kind lol

[@SafetyKitten]

anyone who thinks ai art will triumph over human art, must live by being fed through an iv bag. i heard this quote a while ago and it really makes alot of sense if you think about it ^^

[@mkr3976]

If it is possible for you can you please make a little tutorial on how to render hair like you btw these videos are also very helpful ☺️ and I also really like that you not just post the process but also explain it which is great 👍 thanks

[@kurohshiro]

Thank you! I wish I could make a voice over so this type of videos would be easier to watch. But I will think of making a video about how I render hair :) Thanks for your suggestion^^

Ahh thanks! Glad you like her TvT

[@joaovitorlima9952]

You really are a good content creator, Kuro. I don't know if I was the commenter that made you think of this, but I did leave a comment on a community post you made before you released your last video before this one, in which I talked about how it would be good to see slowly and clearly the decisions you were making inside of the software, as well as you naming tools that fit better to each role. Only a video later, you've already implemented all of that and the results are awesome, outstanding work. Also, your video editing skills have been improving! You're helping a lot with this, so I just wanted to thank you for your work. Additionally, it's great to see Arlecchino bearing that trademark Kuro face now! Helps me get inspired ;)

[@kurohshiro]

Wow okay, thanks for this indepth and kind comment. I appreciate your feedback so much! Especially hearing about the editing is encouraging since I always think of how to make it so that it's not too fast paced but still not too long. So that's really helpful to me 🙇‍♂️

[@I_Simp_For_Arlecchino]

This is exactly the kind of video style I've been looking for as someone trying to learn digital from traditional... and helps that it's of my favourite character too! Can't wait for her in-game

I absolutely love your artwork and I love how you explain step by step! ❤ ^_^

[@kurohshiro]

Oh thanks for noticing the effort! I am glad :) the second window is so handy when it comes to decide what's necessary to render and what could be left out :)

[@dragonize9826]

Love the video! I'm using tips from your last video on where to find references and how to stitch them as you draw for my art and it's making the sketching process so much easier!

Ahh so happy to know! I always find explaining the reference stage more indepth in Videos is so helpful :)

[@kurohshiro]

[@GuranPurin]

Thank you for the very detailed new video! I'm always glad to see your full process videos! 😊It especially helps me with learning how to properly shade clothes and hair. I'm really envious of how well you draw the face the first time. From sketch to finish, it doesn't change all that much. I feel like I end up changing eyes and mouth at least 3-4 time if not more during the process. 🤣So it's something I need to improve on. Thanks as always for sharing your advice and tips! 😊

[@kurohshiro]

Thank you very much. Actually faces are the hardest thing for me and it's just luck when I get it right on the first attempt. Since my sketch brush is thicker than the lineart I don't see mistakes in the sketching process. I change things so often in later stages which is oftentimes the main reason I drop works.

[@GuranPurin]

@@kurohshiro Ah, I see. Yeah, they're quite hard to draw, but your work has been inspiring me to improve. ☺

[@SpellWeaverYT]

Your videos have extremely detailed instructions, including drawing lines, choosing refs,... video subtitles make it very easy for people who are starting to learn to draw to follow along.

[@sylv_exter5272]

hello! I haven't watched the whole video yet but I have a question: how long do your fully rendered pieces take to draw? I always take really long with mine and I'm always curious about how long others usually take! your art looks really amazing, btw, keep it up! (also i know i'm late to this but hey another comment to feed the algorithm to further boost your video!)

[@nikecoro2606]

This is so cool! Always love watching other's people art process. Quick question how did you make that third window where it's the file you're drawing on but it's following you and has the image flipped? That would definitely help me since I tend to forget to flip it as I sketch.

[@will41n]

thanks! took some notes while watching, will try to apply some of these to my artstyle

[@reiserbount]

I reaaaaaally love your vids!!!! can you make a video about how do you learn the fundamentals of digital drawing? i mean books and stuffs like that

[@kurohshiro]

Oh thanks! Also thanks for your suggestion, this is very fundamental so I am not sure how good this would be for my style of video where I don't have voiceovers. But maybe there's a way to include this into my future Videos :)

Great video, could you explain outline function a bit more? I don't get how you can color the shape without losing the line art? Its just a shape with solid color for me and my rendering underneath does not go through I don't get how to eficcently use it

[@lumimochiofficial4003]

absolutely stunning!!!! how much time did it took u? keep it up!!

[@Kewini-sg6ju]

I love all the helpful information you provided, keep up the work! :D I do have a question though, is there a way to get the outline function in Procreate? I’ve searched and cannot find it. It would save me tons of time if there was a similar outline function in Procreate. Thank you 🌈💫💕

[@kurohshiro]

Thank you! I saw someone tried to implement this with the effect of burnt edges and watercolor edges or something like that? It doesn't work that smoothly and you can't recolour the layer without losing the outline. Maybe I can make a KZbin short and show what I mean :)

[@Kewini-sg6ju]

That would be perfect thank u so much!

[@gabrielzanello6738]

I didn't understand too much the rendering proccess, like how it function de first layer of rough color added the other separate ones?, besides that question it was a great video and your channel is what helped me a lot for learning to draw and improve my art❤

[@kurohshiro]

Hey! Thank you :) I don't quite understand your question but I do the rough colour layer to be able to do the shading on one single layer first before I clip it to the separate ones In order clean things up. The advantage is that you can have nice and unexpected colour variations When you draw everything on one layer first.

[@gabrielzanello6738]

​@@kurohshiro oh sorry if my english was bad, actually i'm from brazil, the question is more about in 9:52 where you add another layer for the individual parts, them after the other coloring process you made copy for each parts in the rough one and clip it, i don't know if use the right words for this and sorry for taking your time, but i didn't understand that part

Yo you think it's possible to send the raw files for the brushes in a way I can download it to use in Procreate?

[@waterinhaler3461]

i never understand this 10:17 part in your videos...😞, like you dublicated that rough color layer and put it on top of other color layers and it appears to mix so good, btw i use krita and i dont know it works on it or no...and i love watching your videos❤

[@kurohshiro]

Hey! It'll work for every art app you're working with :) I don't clip them to other coloured layers, more flat base layers for the individual parts like hair, skin etc. So the colour of the Base layer doesn't matter at all.
