I Improved My Rendering Skills in 7 Days ✍️ Digital Painting

[@ame_vagabonde]

As someone who always rely on lineart, this made me realize that I would learn a lot if I studied rendering like you, very inspiring !

[@Tanalieku]

I'm glad my video resonated with you. It's interesting how relying solely on line art can limit our exploration of other techniques. I had a similar realization in my own artistic journey, and it opened up new possibilities for me. Now, I'm eager to dedicate more time to practicing rendering and expanding my skills in that area. There's always room for growth and improvement, and I encourage you to explore different techniques as well. Thank you for sharing your experience and for your kind words! 🙌

[@chapstik5l83]

Leaving line art behind was the best thing that happened to my art !

[@jakewaitart9507]

doing studies on specific parts of pieces like the fabric or hair is honestly genius and idk why I never do that, trying to do a study of a whole piece is so much work

[@juntoringo]

Ugh this was so motivational. Its really cool that you set goals to improve.

[@Tanalieku]

Thank you so much 😊🙏

[@milesdevine1161]

Art with line art has always appealed to me, but this showed me how good lineless rendering can look, really good job.

[@D98-t5p]

This is a great exercise and all the artists in the video are my favorites. I feel inspired to do it myself. Thanks a lot for this!

[@Tanalieku]

That's fantastic! I'm glad you feel inspired. You're very welcome!

[@Kayleska]

I really admire your clear crediting with the image labels during the entire process! It really shows respect to the other artists and their work.

[@Tanalieku]

It's wonderful to hear such kind comments! Thank you! 🙏🫶

[@lemonic__]

as a hardcore brush pen fan im pretty happy to see someone use it so well, keep it up!

[@teovanly9249]

I really admire people who have good grasp of shapes like you. Seeing how those shapes represent values so well is really nice, something I'm still struggling with...

[@dansemacabre4458]

Maybe another tip to grow even more as an artist: when studying other peoples art, don‘t use the eyedropper tool. try to choose the colors by looking at it, it will be harder and you won‘t exactly match the colors every time, but you will get an understanding of why your own paintings may look wonky, and why your lack of color theory knowledge holds you back. + you will develop an own style of color compositioning, that stands out :)

[@OneColdtruth]

Its better to color pick your own piece for better workflow and I couldn't agree more the eye dropper tool is helpful but if over relied on can really mess up your understanding of color theory. 😅 I think the lighting mentor on KZbin taught me that.

[@onem0repixel]

Every new artists needs to wacth this video. Beginners never starts with non lining art like this. And the volumetric shapes, colors and lighting are so importants. I remembered doing this art study for leather, fabric and hair too. Even skins for multiple parts of the body as the hands or the ears in differents day time. Great work Tanalieku, great work. Maybe I'll restart some 2D art soon :)

[@Tanalieku]

Thank you so much!!

[@jajsanir]

This really showed me the importance of doing studies and master copies when you’re trying to improve a particular technique. Should be obvious lmao but I think it really helps to see it in actual practice. Nice work!

[@tcg2717]

The masters you picked from are also my favourite ones! TB Choi, Kan Liu, Dao Trong Le, are all really amazing artists. Their rendering is just so good.

[@rafaeljimenez742]

I always wanted to start rendering, i've tried in the past but never knew how i should do it. Watching your process not only inspired me to keep working on my art but gave a pretty nice idea of how should i practice from now on c: PRETTY NICE WORK I LOVED YOUR RESULTS

[@naishaachal7714]

I found you on Instagram like a day ago, and you randomly popped up on my KZbin feed today. I think this is destiny, I was meant to find your amazing work.

[@heejungkim7373]

KZbin recommended this as soon as I’m trying to fix/change my art style to something with this rendering process, and I’m glad I got to see it!

[@kennajoyfularts]

this was such an insightful video to watch!! correctly conveying form through my rendering is always something i've struggled with, so seeing you successfully learn an improve is really motivating! your style is just so cool to look at, and i wish you the best as you grow as an artist!

[@Tanalieku]

Wow thank you! Your comment means a lot to me, and I truly appreciate your support!!

[@el_m3allem]

as a traditional artist something that stands out to me about how digital artists approach renderint is that y'all often don't do underpaintings. i think you might find the forms, colors, and especially value scale come together much better if you do a monochrome study under the full rendering.

[@123abcdefg83]

There are many different ways to paint traditionally; alla prima oil painting for example does not usually start with a monochrome underpainting. Gouache and watercolor don't either. I think everyone's brain works differently and starting with monochrome might hinder more than help some.

[@fischl3828]

underpaibt usually doesnt show digitally, because u draw over it completely

[@jeanpierrepolnareff9919]

This is actually a very common technique, where you do the BW painting and then colourize it in an upper layer. Then you add the final touches.

[@Beepboopbapclash]

Ur ending results look so good?? Oh my god the improvement you made was incredible wth 😭😭 I love ur work sm

[@Tanalieku]

I'm grateful that you love my work. Thank you 🙏😊

[@throughcolouredglasses9300]

This was amazing, i stopped halfway through to get my tablet and try to paint one of your portraits :) I usually sketch on paper so I'm used to having lineart as the "bones" to everything, but that way of drawing never translated well to digital art for me. Seeing your approach without any lineart inspired me to try that, and it was so much fun! Thank you so much, i haven't felt this exited about doing art in a while :D

[@Cabbywabbytabby]

This video made me realize how possible it is to render lmao. I always sucked at it before but now I get it from watching this video and am actually excited to go and do some studies! You're actually god sent lmao

[@s53nu5]

I love this video so much! The way you render and break down the shadows and values really simplify the method of rendering for me! Im going to hopefully try and study this video for my own artwork, but even if it dosent go well, I'll still have walked away with something from watching this video.

[@ThedGrill]

I am looking at it, and think damn, I need to learn from you on how to simplify my art. Thank you for becoming an Inspiration to me :D I have to say I am already impressed by how you painted before, but after. So satisfying to watch!

[@Someone-kg8cc]

You cannot begin to imagine how helpful this was. We have a very similar process and I learned so much just by watching you practice. Thank you so much!!

[@dvminika4379]

your video dragged me out of long artblock! I haven’t drawn for 5 months and I started again bc of you! thank you! ❤

[@Talexior]

Thank you so much for sharing your efforts and improvement! The knowledge you gained over time is palpable and commendable, as well as super inspiring.

[@Tanalieku]

I appreciate your encouragement. Thank you 😊🙏

[@cake869]

this video was a really big slap on my face to stop relying on lineart as guide to paint something xD thank you for the video ! i hope to be as good as you one day :D

[@bagel_soup2]

thank you so much for sharing your progess :) while we're different artists, i can easily apply your studying technique to my own struggles.

[@sentou5645]

Amazing video! Congratulations on your great improvement and thanks for sharing your learning process! It made me realize that I definitely need to do more master studys!

[@Tanalieku]

Thank you for your kind words! I'm glad you enjoyed the video. Doing fragmentary studies of the works of masters can indeed be helpful and less tiring while providing clarity on certain aspects. I'm excited that you're motivated to do more of them! Best of luck with your studies!

[@bapiful5944]

amazing work! i really admire your sense of shape language and confidence in strokes.

[@Tanalieku]

Thank you!!

[@HereComesCats]

This art style is my tops fav yet and it's the hardest for me to do.. because my personal style is soft, round, bubbly. Great video, makes me wanna attempt it again.

[@Qixzy]

This is awesome to watch! Love seeing your progress and interesting to see the steps you took to get the finished result. Good luck on continuing to improve!! :D

This is soo cool! I also love your choice of references and how you organized learning how to draw by splitting them into categories. I will try this method out as well!❤❤

[@Tanalieku]

You're welcome! I'm glad you found the categorization of references helpful. It's a great way to focus on specific aspects of drawing. I hope you have a wonderful time exploring this method in your own practice. Thank you for your kind words! 🙏❤️

[@jakesonkaze]

this is one of the best and the most realistic tutorial ever! thank you!

[@jnni9]

you are so underrated!! i felt inspired to improve my art just by watching you improve yours!

[@yavnrh]

Hi, great studies! Blocking out with shapes and transforming to correct is an interesting technique. Makes it much easier to get the proportions right compared to sketching with just lines. I need to try this method as well. Maybe 1) rough -> 2) flat shapes & corrections -> 3) lineart?

[@dartmora]

this looks like a fun way to practice rendering... thanks for posting this. Gotta try this today

[@ShiroNudle]

Amazing, I always put off render since it takes so long time to do and only focused on line arts. But after seeing this video, it motivated me to do more render pieces. Great video.

Its comforting seeing other people have the same problem idk jack sht about color stuff welp ig im going lineless this month

I love these kinds of videos. It shows me how much I need to up my game when practicing bc I’d have called it a day after one study😅

[@DaltonPietersen]

I like your work, i was also struggling to render gradations and i found out it was the brush that was working against me. Im using photoshop shop and i started using a dual brush. Normal round soft brush with a hard brush set at dual brush to taper the soft edge of the soft brush. My productivity went through the roof.

Really love your videos, they’re really informative and helpful. I also adore your artstyle. Would you be able to do a video on how to choose colors? It’s very hard for me to even color a piece because I’m always overwhelmed by the wide range of colors available in digital medium.

[@Tanalieku]

I would be delighted to create a video on how to choose colors. It will be an exciting journey, and I'll make sure to prepare for it. Please stay tuned for future updates and videos. Thank you for your support!!

Nice rendering, but that shape design is to die for!

[@KimberlyPinkney]

In 70s and 80s did studies as a kid from Saturday morning cartoons, TV guide, comics, cartoons, Nagel, even from my friends's art. I learned to do side profiles from Alfred Hitchcock's logo. It would display on the screen and he would walk into it. My mom had a lot of his books with the logo- a series of broken lines to form his face, drew it once as it was, then drew everyone like it connecting the lines until I developed my "eye", now as an adult, if I see an aspect in another art, like another way to portray light, or render skin I just try to incorporate it into my next image.

[@ecrazatator9]

You inspired me to work to get better ! THANKS

[@DaveyJonesLunchbox]

Was expecting this to be a bit more informational, can you make a video like this with explanation as to what's actually being done differently?

[@AlyxTremblay]

[@emilywaffle]

Incredible!! Thank you especially for sharing your thought process in addition to your footage - I find it really helpful. I think I have the opposite tendency, where I over-blend/use a soft brush too much and lose structure. I'm going to try my current process with a hard brush and see what happens!!

[@Tanalieku]

Thank you very much!! Best of luck with your experimentation, and I hope the hard brush brings positive results for you!!

[@anszjaa]

I wanted to do this lately, only to find out I don't have any artists whose style I would like to follow. For example,I like very detailed and lineart-based drawings but I suck at lineart and don't feel comfortable with it. Or I like drawings with simplistic noses but when I try to simplify something, it looks so off I go for realism instead
