@@Nadiaxel No problem, I found this video really helpful and thought it would be better if I have timestamps for topics I might want to watch again

Tysm!!

[@huhthatsinteresting1644]

Thank you

[@nordicfaerie6720]

This is very helpful! Thanks!

[@courtney4128]

I have NEVER watched a tutorial that was explained so seamlessly and simply! You should honestly become a teacher! I learned so much from this.

[@Nadiaxel]

Waw thank you .//A//. ❤ I always think I sound so unorganized so this means a lot!

[@Artchick1972]

Courtney N I agree! One of the best tutorials! You need to write a book and officially teach if you don't already

[@leeosborne2611]

yeah obviously a very intelligent person-she's so good at talking and explaining.

[@xenolorde]

@King Nothing same i draw all the time on paper but i wanna realm into the digital art world

[@Beyblade0battles]

You deserve to be paid for these videos. Many people would teach this stuff on paid course websites but you are giving away this information for free which really really really helps people like me who cannot afford to purchase the courses so thank you so so so much

[@Nadiaxel]

I am happy to help people ❤️ Especially people who are where I have been ~ I wish I could have found these things 15 years ago when I needed them. Now I hope my content can help others who were as troubled as me xD and I do get paid a little bit through youtube revenue. Its not much but its okay :3 People have been kind to share my videos and that helps me a lot 💕 Thank you for watching and for this amazing comment 😍

[@courtney4128]

I would love to see one on shading and more on blending in general. I think that is the hardest part of digital art

[@Nadiaxel]

Thank you for this suggestion ❤ a pretty popular topic!

[@johncorrales8066]

I've drawn traditionally my whole life and recently got a drawing tablet. It's really cool but there's so many tools and stuff to learn haha!

[@beep_1223]

same . i just bought the tablet few days ago . and im trying to deal with the frustration mainly the lighting brush and shadowing

[@whoamiff9044]

I have ordered a viekk A30 drawing tablet in Amazon Is it a good drawing tablet for beginners? Please tell me

[@sofiamariiz]

I came here to learn more about digital art so I could draw Life is Strange content and I was not expecting a FREAKING BEAUTIFUL CHLOE OMG

[@natalycamarena7426]

Exactly the same thing happened to me lmao nothing like LiS to make us want to learn how to digital draw some fanart lol

[@amlagainsttheworld]

Ohh!!

[@kyberkylo7764]

Lmao wtf exact same reason here

[@rissa3357]

Sofia Mariz same thing happened to me omg i gasped when i saw chloe💕

[@zockergirl4280]

Same. Just... Same...

[@twiggyt]

I think "Ctrl+Z!" even when I'm drawing on paper.

[@emilyiatrou5409]

Every tutorial I've ever watched has left me even more confused than when I started, but yours was so simple and clear! I took five pages of notes, and now I actually feel ready to create my own digital art on Photoshop! Thank you!! :)

[@giovanaarduino]

Only god knows how many times I'll rewatch this! I'm soooooo happy to find this video and so thankful for your work!

[@Kimmiekawa]

When I first met you I was startled by what I find is one of your key strengths; your amazing tech knowledge and the ability to not just find new and smarter technical features and ways to navigate in programs but explaining them too. It might be basics for you but you find stuff that lazy people like me never discover, even with years of experience 😂 so even though it's ment as a tutorial covering the basics, it's good for people with experience too ❤️

[@Nadiaxel]

Aw Kimmie that was so sweet ;//.//; I was really hoping that it could be useful to a broader audience so I am happy you got something out of it! And I still have a lot of nifty tricks and I'm thinking of just making a short video where I put them all together ;w; ❤

[@ericsproductions6626]

Nadiaxel you do know if you put them together it won't be short... do it

[@astoldb]

Both part 1 and 2 have helped me learn a lot. Thanks for this!!! ^_^

[@sruthyshree]

This is so very helpful! So was the first part, i was almost giving up on trying digital mediums as most of the info out there is too overwhelming. But this was very well thought out. Thanks a lot

[@shivansh4581]

Can you make a video on "How to make your first digital art" picking an easy example, please?

[@Nadiaxel]

It's quite a good idea! Thank you ♥ I've noted it down ^^

[@pai009]

I'd like to see a tutorial on how to take a traditional drawing, and turning it into a digital one. Its fine if the traditional one is just a sketch, though I'd also like to see how to do that with a finished one as well.

[@eat_drt2194]

parvati009 um, I might not be able to help much, but invest in a scanner

[@Nadiaxel]

Excellent topic! I am actually working on some traditional drawings at the moment so it could be very relevant indeed. There are many ways this could be done both with and without a scanner so I can also completely understand that it can be a little hard to get started. Thank you for sharing ❤ I'm saving your idea in my sheet of ideas ^^

[@pai009]

Tim IsLame I understand the scanner thing, its just that I'd like to transfer pics that are bigger than my scanner is. I already know how to scan them in if the picture is small enough to fit into the scanner. Sorry if I come across as if I'm angry, I'm not. I just think this knowledge would be good for people to know with the same problem I have, and they don't want to go to somewhere like Office Max and pay to have their pics scanned every time they want to transfer them into a digital program.

[@eat_drt2194]

parvati009 Yeah! That's understandable, I was just a bit uneducated, but what's popping in your case I have no idea how to handle. I wish you the best of luck on your journey! ^^

[@aliceguedes2967]

You just made my life so much easier, I never had the chance to learn properly how to use Photoshop, so this is like gold to me! Thank God that you're exist ! thank you so much for your tutorial!

[@AxelResto]

Hello and thank you for your tutorials. I am a beginner and used your first tutorial on this series to buy my first table. Can't wait to play with it. Cheers from Sanford Florida.

[@jadahmannart]

Thank you!! I am a complete beginner to digital and am using photoshop. I now worship clipping masks. This helped me out so much!

[@gqueirogabr]

I absolutely needed this...makes jumping into digital art much less mysterious and confusing thanx!!!

[@irinatarasovets377]

In this video I learned really useful stuff for me as a begginer , and I would love to see video about all the process of painting , from beggining to end on some example

[@anonymouse7394]

Im actually not new to photoshop. Been using it for a while. But I gotta admit. You're a great teacher. And watching these videos gave me a better understanding of features i wasnt aware of before while also imparting some new knowledge. Wish I'd watched it back when I must started out a few months ago

[@mylittlesecret2717]

Honestly, I was searching for a clear video like this. In the past I used to be able to just work fine digitally, I ended up not having time enough to make digital art. Through my education I got in touch with the Adobe programs, and I tried to make things in these on my own quite a lot, but, had a hard time struggling and stressing. So thank you very much!

[@RandomBubble]

This is more like a tutorial for photoshop guys. I’m trying to learn for a general lesson. Thank you for your hard work

[@sandynamic23]

Thanks a lot Nadia... Love and respect from India. You are doing wonderful .....sharing your knowledge

This is probably one of the most useful videos I have seen... very well covered for a fairly complex subject (photoshop). Very Good. I will definitely recommend this.

Great tutorial on how to get started with digital art. I would like to see how you can pull up references for practicing/studying from or a familiar one which is how to draw from photo references.

[@berthabadi1252]

Loved your tutorial. Very concise and to the point. Thanks for sharing your knowledge,

[@helennewman1382]

This was SUPER helpful, I have been designing t-shirts and whilst I know what size image I need to upload, I struggled to start drawing at the correct size. One image I spend ages on drawing I drew far too small but didn't realise as I was zoomed out and the size I needed to upload the image in had know physical meaning to me. Your idea about starting in A4 makes so much sense as I know what that physically looks like and therefore how big it needs to be on the page. Thankyou

[@clarawuhu]

This is one of the best guides I've ever watched! Simple, informative and easy to understand. And I'm proud you're a fellow dane :)

I might be late but I just want to say this video is ONE of the most helpful tutorial for beginners like me who isn't familiar on Photoshop for art purposes. 99% of the results I've specifically searched through pertains to Photoshop tutorial for photo editing, and most of digital art tutorial videos assume you already know how to work with Photoshop. Thank god I found this video, it explained a lot of simple things I'm having trouble with. Thank you for this 💓. As per your request for suggestions I hope you do more tips and techniques for Photoshop for QOL.
