The cylinder method is actually really useful for perspective if keeping in mind the shape of a head. They teach you this in art school

@@dahliad1937 That's the point. It's doesn't work for everyone, that's why so many people are upset about him with the cylinder method, he tried it, it didn't work, and he proceeded to call it bad, saying it didn't work and that you should never use it because it's a bad method.

[@Oh...1tsSeven]

I realize, that what I said made it seem like it had to work for everyone. I meant that, it's a better method for a lot of styles, and is generally an easier way for newer artists when developing a style

14:30 I do agree on this one though! Maybe not drawing a full cylinder, but if you've got basic knowledge of head/face drawing, loosely starting with a half-cylinder can actually be really good. It gives the brain a much quicker idea of the perspective you're going for when it comes to drawing portraits/faces. And like I said, as a beginner I can imagine using cylinders might not be better and the result might turn out weird if they stick too close to the cylinder shape itself. But with knowledge already, it's a good little trick/addition to quickly lay down a face in perspective. Just from my own experience though, might not be for everyone ofc.

[@briancurtis466]

I was noticing that as I practiced drawing faces (especially if not using a reference) they all ended up looking neutral in mood and each pretty similar to every other. So, I've started going through the TikTok Art tips video series, pausing at a random moment, and using Sam's face as a reference. I get delight, horror, frustration, revulsion, contemplation, surprise... a whole range of expressions!

[@Shining4Dawn]

I used to name all of my layers and I've reduced the time it takes me to finish a piece significantly when I stopped. It also made me take things less seriously and allow me to retain a "flow" state while drawing a lot better so... if you're a person who tends to be very orderly (or you have OCD) - do NOT name your layers. This may be a good tip for people who tend to be too messy, though. It really depends on the person.

[@cybergalacticnova]

Personally, mask layers, alpha lock layers, and clip layers help me identify which one is one. But if it gets too cluttered with one of the same layer type, I name them.

[@mariastephens1827]

bruh if i did that i could never keep track and i wouldn't even know what to call any of them i'd just be like "uhhh. let's call this one nick"

[@Shining4Dawn]

@@mariastephens1827 I used to name the crap out of them like “skin base”, “skin shading”, “shirt base”, “shirt shading”, “eyeball”, “iris” etc. It was all very informative, but it was a complete waste of time. Now I just group layers with clipping together and I name the group, but only of it’s a piece I’m working on for more than a single session.

[@vaishnavisingh9244]

I always name all my layer, but I have sort of an algorithm for it : Groups (Rough, Rough Lineart, Lineart, Colors), and then the layer is just the parts (Face, Coat, Shirt, Hand etc), I think its easier to name groups than each layer. Whenever I add in base layers, I tend to flatten them onto the actual layer or make a whole layer for shadows and lighting. I also like working in way less layers than my peers (I have seen people with 47 layers and I have like 6-7)

[@Fleerue]

I do most of my work in one layer, especially if its a painting, so I don't really need naming layers If the drawing is supposed to have lineart and stuff I make groups and sometimes name them instead, especially if I'll like animate the drawing or export it somewhere else Then naming is essential

[@mikoevelynn111]

4:50 I believe there is also a factor of how you normally draw and are comfortable drawing when it comes to this. Some artists (like myself) find it easier to use multiple layers, and that can keep things neat in its own way. For me, I like having more layers since it makes it easier for me if I end up seeing a mistake or want to change the colors later, and I only need to change one or two layers instead of drawing it over again

[@liuetenantz3ro]

13:05 There's a technique with water color paining that u put the paper (thats ment for this) in water and let it soak for about 2 mins and then when u paint the paper stays flat and gets less ruind by the paint and its easier to blend the colors... So it probably works with a canvas and acrilics too

[@3leafcloverr]

[@brokeartist3790]

Sam I love seeing you talk about these tips! Giving proper information is important to those who are learning. Also I am someone who names their layers, though I just give up halfway through on giving them proper names. They usually are named as ‘I don’t like color theory’ or something of that

[@CosmicGardener]

Pinterest and tumblr are amazing for aesthetics and refrences. Also I've never heard of people using boxes for drawing anything except fingers. I've always been told to use spheres or oval spheres. My mom love art stuff so she's always had input and tips for me.

It's better to name a group and throw all the layers correlated to the topic in it. That way you aren't wasting time naming all the layers, but still have some organization.

3:32 I actually saw your video about sketchbooks, Sam. After i watched it, it made me want to buy a sketchbook to see if it can actually help me improve my art. And it did! :D

[@InsertFacerollHere]

Im 50/50 on naming layers but doing it helps a lot! Especially for color layers that are for light colors. I really recommend setting up folders and naming layers at the start of each step. Ex when I'm ready for colors, I'll make as many layers as I expect to need based on how many colors I'm using then name them after the color or section. Then I can just go through 1 layer at a time and I never forget what I was doing if I need to step away for a while! Kinda the art equivalent of making an outline for your essay honestly

[@valasafantastic1055]

Cylinder is great for perspective but like boxes it works/feels good to some people and doesn’t/feels terrible to others. Each person should use methods suited to them! Some methods are bad for one artist and perfect for another. No one right way.

[@ReimaginedSkies]

For any acrylic painters anywhere if you end up having to stop mid painting and dint want your paint to dry up, put the pallete in a zip lock bag with a papertowel this will keep the paint wet and usable. (When I triednthis out I did it for a few days and it worked!) However it did dry out faster once I finally used it so keep that in mind

[@Pollymichaelis]

I'm one of the artist who got their tips reviewed, and ngl it kinda hurts to see it dunked on when I learn that tip from an industry professional art tutor 😔 Maybe next time message artists if they want their stuff to be reviewed on such a big youtube channel? Not everyone appreciates the sudden shock of seeing their stuff exposed in front of a big audience without a prior warning 😔

[@itzpvpninja673]

13:22 I didn't think about this usecase but someone told me that the canvas (and due to that also the frame) contracts a bit while water (or color) dries on it. To make it contract evenly you should spray the whole canvas with water before starting to paint. I noticed that a canvas on which that wasn't done was bent so there is a gap between the wall and the canvas which wouldn't be there if you sprayed it before (I did try that)

[@megmaples1397]

In regards to the wetting the canvas trick, you are meant to spray the back of a stretched canvas and let it dry to get it to shrink and *stretch* over the frame. If you want your first layer to stay wet longer, add drying retarder or switch to oils.
