I wanted to keep this vid as short as possible cause personally i learned quicker from shorter tutorials. So, apologies for the whack explanation for everything :’)) i left links in the desc for more helpful tutorials 👍👍 Also sry i didn't emphasize it in the video, but pls dont be afraid to post referenced works :)) i know that the og artists are not entitled to the poses they draw but just think of leaving credit in the description as an act of gratitude. it only takes seconds to copy paste a link from where you referenced from + it'll save u from getting attacked by ppl (sadly there are many who attack artists for referencing so i just learned to adapt). PLEASE don't be discouraged to reference aaaaaaa ok bye

[@angelishere1556]

the video what actually really well done!! ty for the tipss! :D

[@meishogun8032]

woah woah can i ask are you aphantasic? cause man/whemmen you might have just taken out all my self doubt cause i thought having an artstyle as a person with no imagination is impossible but welp you just proved me wrong, time to go back to my cave and start pumping out more artworks and continue the grind

[@natsume__san]

@@meishogun8032 i think i do have aphantasia :')) tho i never took it seriously- i always thought everyone had it cause my whole family did💀 so i gaslit myself to believe that it wasn't smth that could hinder me luL tbh i think the inability of having a mind's eye is what made me want to draw in the first place :DD don't let it stop u from trying !! goodluck with continuing the grind u got thizz :> also here u can watch this vid it might help u :DD kzbin.info/www/bejne/gojKiYauraqdndU

Agreed weirdly

[@en2336]

I really respect the disclaimers you put about unethical artist behaviors and acknowledging your own mistakes in your journey to becoming a great artist. We need more honesty and transparency like that in the artist community!!

[@Sasukesanimation]

Yes truly respect it, another tip from me is to use the pencil for lineart rather than a pen if you want a more anime look, the pen makes everything look too clean sometimes

[@biancamahomed]

Definitely agree!

Oh my god... You literally combined and simplified a what could have been a 100+ hour expensive masterclass and gave it for free.. Also your style and process is very similar to mine and this increased the value to me to an incredible extent. This video is gold.. I cant express my gratitude enough! Informative, Helpful, Brief and Humorous! Absolute Perfection!

[@loureece9005]

U ARE SO CORRECT W THE LAYERS !! i'm 5 months in to digital art and when i first started, i had way too many layers. like one for lineart, base color, shading, highlight, and every tinyy part of the drawing, and i could not keep track of them 😵 then i had the idea of not giving a f with lineart and merging all the layers together. it was magic! and very freeing :D drawing digitally now feels and looks like painting in oil and i love it so much

[@natsume__san]

YESS!! i love it when it feels like you're painting digitally, it makes the process so much more fun :>>

[@glaceuss]

In ibis paint, there is this thing called folder where u can store layers per section (like for example for skin, another for hair) but I don't know how to use it, I'm still trying to figure it out.

[@beautifulgorgeousman]

@@glaceussyeah it took me a while to figure out but it’s really useful

[@zylan948]

This video gives me hope for the newest and future generation of artists. It's so nice seeing a young artist like yourself giving importance to the real essential things. Don't waste time, more isn't always better, be respectful of other artists, learn to observe and translate into your own lines instead of mindlessly replicating. Really, great advice.

[@sherrie_]

the editing is really clean and your art look so cool i think tracing is good for breaking down drawings into simpler shapes but love the tips :DD

[@Meepfinch]

Tracing can be quite useful if you try to understand how it's made instead of only tracing lines. What I mean by this is instead of blindly tracing lineart, try to find shapes, form and rhythm/gesture in a drawing. Try to figure out how it works, deconstruct it! I used to do this sometimes when I started studying art and it personally helped me. This is a great video btw!

[@wqrw1290]

Yeah you can trace something, turn it into shapes, and try to replicate it on the side

[@Utrilus]

Making a tracing of the thing your studying and then comparing the referenced and traced one can be quite the boon for spotting subtle errors as well. Long as they're noted down they can be used to further refine the general rules you're learning, or spotting things to correct in your work. And then of course trying to draw that from memory, keeping in mind the rules learned so it'd become long term memory.

[@SultanSketches]

Thank you 🙏 helpful and entertaining !!

[@jamesangel7185]

also don't be scared to make mistakes :] it has been one of the worst issues i had for like last two years, but I'm finally getting out of it! it's part of learning a skill after all also amazing video, these tips are very good - some random artist

[@vroomvroomcarvroom]

tysm for this!!! i can never watch any art video for over 10 minutes bc it just becomes boring and beyond my understanding by then so the length and minimalism of this video is SUPER helpful imo

[@sofistadium7806]

Tbh, my improvement started when I wanted to draw hot men.

[@ilovecats4everrr]

Relatable

[@TheLostMilkAisle]

😂😂

[@walvie]

I love watching videos for artist while not being one myself. I don't know what it is but I just find it fun to see a part of a hobby that I know absolutely nothing about. Your art looks amazing and the video itself is really well made! It reminds me a lot of tppo which I don't think is a bad thing at all, especially if you're starting out with making videos. All in all, I really liked this and I can't wait for what you'll make in the future👍

[@Chips_cooked]

I like how i finally found a tut that’s actually in toddler level for me to understand ;D I actually inhaled information and remembered it without farting it out ✨💖 thank you very much ;3

[@nitalishii]

Just within about 6 minutes, I’ve already learned a lot. Thanks for the short yet meaning video tutorial! This is super useful for artists even if they aren’t a beginner anymore.

[@piidgon]

omfg i love this video. i really appreciate how casual it is, not saying you have to learn all these fancy techniques or talk about "just practice 24/7". tysm for the great vid! :3

[@alrlwt]

I love that you explain everything so quickly and so easy to understand, 6 minutes of video equivalent to 15 minutes of anyone elses, simple intro, and you don't beg for likes or subscriptions. Apart from having its funny point with memes like the tree and shinji. Very good video and new follower. (pd: I love your style.)

[@harpinedoodles]

not only did i find myself learning, but i also found myself laughing. looking forward to see what other content you make in the future.

[@parker4591]

you're seriously SO good at explaining things with a sprinkle of humour.. this is the kind of realistic advice that helps young artists find their own way into the art world. Thanks for the good tips (oh and also I really wanna eat your art, gah dayum it's so pretty) 🤯🤯😎

[@sarahalderham2531]

This was amazing, even though I’m an intermediate artist. Can you do a video about colors concerning ambient lighting and things of that nature? I want to learn how to make my colors “vibrant and pretty”

[@natsume__san]

yep! im working on a coloring tutorial hopefully it'll be out next month :DD

[@thrushblaze2574]

Hello, if you're still interested, I'd recommend the lighting videos by Marco Bucci - he is very informative.

[@OwnyOne]

The coiling thechnique is the best thing that's happened to artist since the beginning of times

[@waInut]

I saw you from ig a week ago and now your suddenly posted a vid and showed up on my home screen. Its very helpful tho + extra point for humour. I also do my art layers and keeping it in a minimum (unless dramatic shadows sometimes it goes over my minimum lol)

[@werd0._.813]

I love how you give actual useful tips, don't make it hateful to the viewer and still make it have great humor. Will def try to use some of these tips

[@user-wl6nt6hd4s]

I love this so much. As an artist that stopped for a few years and is now coming back in with a very different set of goals, this hits the nail for me. I would want a full-length art tips class from u just bc of this vid. Thank u so much!!

[@malaxmels4929]

Its really cool to see artists like this gaining more attention, really good video and I hope you're able to continue to grow your channel and make great videos like this

[@romanedelay4561]

Hi, I'm going through a huge art block since 2-3 years, and i regained motivation to draw recently !! So I made myself to document a little about how improving what I am doing and trying to do things that I may like on my computer with my tablet. Your video helped me a lot with all these tips ! It even more made me want to draw again !!! I wanted to thank you for that ! :)

[@swisdom9117]

Lots of good points in this video. What I’m going to start doing (and what I’ll advise others to do as well) is to make a reference board of sorts. Eg. compile the types of hair drawings/coloring/shading you like from multiple artists and keep it in one place. You can do this for other aspects too, like lineart, eye coloring and skin shading etc. I feel like my progress is slow mostly because I don’t do enough style study. Gotta fix that. I’d love to know how OP studies from their fav artists. Also, you say use references and I 100% advocate for that, but how do artists make ….. nvm. I think I got it. It all comes down to using a bunch of different references and art style studies and compiling it into your work as you see it

[@lazypaw7448]

Oh my god what, I was focused in your videos the whole time. Repeating things at the end, going fast, short video, very visual examples of everything. This is so well made, I appreciate the effort you made to share your knowledge and experiences.

[@kuroshi_anaki]

just tried the coil technique, and wow, it really helped, thanks! also your art is actually one of my dream styles, that watercolor is so beautiful

[@mielunaria]

i have a hard time simplifying refereces bc i feel like all the detail is important and i have a hard time prioritizing what to include, what i found that can help me is actually tracing over the reference to see the big shapes and then using what i traced as the reference to draw it myself

[@crashito_x]

Ahhh this has the smeel of youth, hopes and dreams. Very good video, haven't watched something like this in a long time.

[@joshualot2305]

I'm using paint tool sai for my main art software as well! Didn't know that it was this powerful and I almost abandoned it, glad to be a new subscriber this content is gold!

[@swisdom9117]

I have to try out that coiling technique thing, it’s genius!

[@pong3e]

Can you make a video going over your painting technique? The way you paint your hair and eyes is absolutely jaw dropping!❤❤

[@Vence1n]

For a long time, I feel like I've been stuck in the same place and I'm really itching to improve.(Your art is awesome!) I love how you give the information in a way that's quick + digestible and the silly little side comments too, it wasn't just informative but entertaining as well. Thank you for making this. Also, I noticed how much easier things are when I merge all of the layers, you best bet I'll try to use the advice more!

[@sh1mizu]

the editing is so good!! it’s super engaging! also i loveee your art!💗💗💗🫶

[@malaxmels4929]

Thank for making this. Short but useful and not boring at all. (Maybe cuz I like jazz music lmao) ALSO I LOVE YOUR COILING TRICKS been drawing for a while and the coiling what I always do but I never applied it to help with my perspective like that Thank ALOT for the tips.

[@Jelinaas]

Wow it’s really fascinating that you’re showing us a significant improvement in just a short period of time by example. Couldn’t thank you enough for those tips..so straightforward and each one of them has a direct impact on me in terms of mindset as well as the attitudes towards art in general.. lucky me that I came across this video cuz two days ago I did think to myself it really sucks you know feeling you’re stuck and you have no idea of where and how someone can improve their own art :( ,but watching a video of 6 minutes was more than enough to provide me with a different perspective. Thank you! Looking forward for next video :))
