I don’t speak English and I don’t understand well what you’re saying, but I like your style of drawings, your voice, your speech, your creativity motivates me to get off the couch and go create❤❤❤

[@zZephyyr_]

Try to turn on subtitles and turn them to your language, it might help :)

[@Persival_say_goodbye]

@@zZephyyr_ Yes, that’s what I do, with subtitles it makes it really easier to understand the video. Even though I don't understand some of the words, I can still understand the basic meaning. This makes me so happy, that is, it’s so cool when you can learn from videos not only in your native language

[@kheil1]

You better start learning on how to speak english tho 😢

[@Ur_feetwarmer]

@@zZephyyr_it’s really hard to read subtitles and see the art for me 😭😭😭

AAAA ASTARION HOORAY HOORAY fantastic video, I’ve had art block for weeks now and this is motivating me

[@MalayaDraws]

Hello! I’ve been watching your videos for over a year now, and I’ve been a big fan of your art ever since I discovered your channel! Your art style has been so inspiring and fascinating to me, and I love the way your works of art are so intriguing (storytelling, mood, etc). Thank you so much for sharing this video of your entire process, it means a lot to me when I can learn from an artist whose work I admire. Please keep up the amazing work, your art is inspirational!✨

[@doublenootmf4081]

I swear to you, I was looking for a video from going from sketching to rendering just now, and like, the timing!?!? I've been wanting to learn from watching artists I look up to recently to learn rendering but I couldn't really find what I was looking for, this is awesome thank you so much!!

[@Marauchan]

I love your art so much. You and ABDillustrations are my two favorite artists and I can’t thank you enough for showing your progress and giving tutorials. I often refer back to your anatomy and lighting tutorial mainly and it’s been a genuine lifesaver. Seeing your art makes me want to strive to create more and not get frustrated and give up when things go south. I just wanted to take the time to write this comment and say thank you for doing tutorials and showing your process! I appreciate you!

[@artgeometrix6346]

Great methodology. I like how you have a routine. Most people don't pay so much attention to process it seems.

[@d_fnanda]

Omg that small random dot thing happens to me all the time 😭 Sometimes I'll go move the pen to the other side of the canvas and accidentally leave a line behind, this or the random dot that I can't for the life of me find the layer it's on... Ignoring my pain, your artstyle might be my favorite one ever! I just love how you express feelings or vibes with your illustrations, hope to get to that level too one day!

[@spam-el3ee]

for anyone trying to buy the tablet, the link in desc is in Bloo's 1st language so please be aware of this! don't be confused, you're on the right site. I recommend reading in your language before accessing from the link, because to change the language removes the special discount option. thanks!

[@lyo_does_art5767]

Yeah, saw this. I was intrested in the tablet, but now I have a problem. In the german version, it dosen’t ship to my country. But, in my original language, the discount dosen’t work, and like, it’s twice as expansive than in the german version (for some reason) 💀 So… guess i’ll just continue eye shopping, haha… (aw man, I was really considering buying the tablet…)

[@spam-el3ee]

@@lyo_does_art5767 I'm so sorry, what a bad coincidence. Hope you find a good alternative soon, I think Xp-pen has a lot of products that are considered cheap for drawing tablets. Better luck next time :)

[@roythomas3667]

[@npc4169]

probably wont be noticed but recently, I've been taking a bunch of parts of characters from various artists that I admire, but my art is starting to look nearly identical to theirs. (for example, I tried using your facial structure video and looked at a couple of your characters eyes) what can I do to keep my art from becoming a blatant copy of theirs? I want my work to have some sort of unique feature but its starting to look almost the same as the drawings I look at during my free time.

[@user-uv6rp1hm8i]

Bluebiscuits, can I ask you something? Why are the backgrounds of your white screens gray? Is it because of taste or because of the white saturation of natural canvases?

[@lavynx]

I'm a simple woman I see Bluebiscuits and Astarion I click

[@Moseka43]

I saw you take off the screen protector and immediately went to make sure I didn't take mine off when I opened it 😭I also have an xp-pen tablet, it's a 15inch screen with 10 buttons on the side, very nice

[@ImperialMilk]

such a coincidence that im watching this as soon as i started watching Seraph of the End

[@SxdaBerry]

Omg I love ur art style sm !!! but I have a quick question. Is there a video where you explained on how you first started studying digital art? If not that’s all right I just thought that it could be a learning experience for many who need help with studying (including me). Like did you study in a chronological order? Example: studied/practiced anatomy for 2 weeks, studied/practiced sketching for 2 weeks, etc. It would be a really good video idea if you don’t have it yet but let me know if you do! Thank you for inspiring and teaching many!!

[@lilyflowers4477]

how do you do that lasso tool when you completely fill the sketch/lineart with gray 😭. i see so much artists lassoing their whole drawing. idk if its just because my hand isnt steady enough, but i actually can not do it. it always comes out too shaky and it takes forever.

[@skullyskup]

this is awhile ago but hi! Do it in small sections!! one piece of hair at a time, one finger, one fold of clothes etc. once the "outline" is done, you can loosely trace the unselected area in the middle. Depending on the program you're using, just hold "shift" while using the lasso tool, so that when you lift your pen it won't reset the whole section

[@Calcax_]

Since english isn't my first language I maybe missed it but like when you clip every colors to the grey base do you have a way to not shade/render over the other colors ? Like if you want to focus on the hair but ended shading over the skin do you just erase the part that went on the skin or do you have a way to avoid that with tools or something ? (Idk if my question is clear) But anyway I love your art and this Astarion fanart is chief kiss I love it !!! Keep up the good work yay !

[@ch4arm547]

if you render the hair on a different layer than the skin then you can just erase it probably

[@Calcax_]

@ch4arm547 That's what I thought, but I wanted to make sure that there isn't another to avoid shading on the other colours. But anyway, I'm gonna try and see if I like it or not :)

[@MAXIMThefirstandlast]

YOOO!!🔥🔥✨

I got your brushes because I love your style so much but when I downloaded them they were a different setting and idk how to change them because I'm new to clip studio I have pro version 0.3

Omg i do the same exact thing with the sketch! I don't like doing lineart because it feels like all the details get lost, and it looks too hollow for my liking, so i gradually clean up the sketch instead, haha 😂

I really want to get into art but no video ever explains how you should get yourself into art, every single video I see just doesn’t appeal and even when I try to draw I just end up failing. Trying to learn art is one of my biggest goals in life and I just don’t know how to deal with this lack of motivation, I feel like there’s other people that would also relate but wouldn’t speak up. If you can make a video on how to motivate yourself it’d be great. Much love! 😁

[@-Hai-cter]

hello, I wonder how long have you been practicing drawing? I've been practicing drawing for 3 months and signed up for many coloso courses... I feel like I'm still not progressing, I'm really disappointed in myself... is perseverance the best method?

[@spam-el3ee]

You weren't asking me but I'll answer anyways. I think perseverance really is key when it comes to developing a craft like art. I've been drawing nonstop since I was a toddler, but I also feel like there's a long way to go, because there is. Art is a journey that continues your whole life! You said you feel discouraged, and I sympathize, but ask you to keep on the path of learning. You're giving it your best shot, and that will pay off. There's many wonderful and amazing things to learn about art, and yourself through art, so I hope you keep going and find your destination
