I am really enjoying the Sam x Scott friendship era. Scott did a very good painting of Sam in one of his videos.

[@iemonjelly]

1:39 usually in anime one of the animators will fill in with yellow and blue where the lighting and shading will go to save time for the painter when it gets to them! that way they know where the lighting will be without having to guess or think too much about placement on a busy schedule and makes the whole product more cohesive in the end! this person seems to be cutting an extra corner and going straight in with the colours they want the shading to be, instead of just focusing on the placement :-)

[@iemonjelly]

@@anapple6912 this is true! i think it really comes down to personal preference and how you've learned to shade, honestly. Some people would probably struggle with this method of shading if they don't have their colours down first while others excel at it.

i hope not. the two of them used to be passionate violinists. they wanted to show the world the beauty of classical music and their beloved violin. even the dark side was a topic. now they're just two clowns with violins who just laugh at others too often.

I was just thinking earlier today that I wished Sam would make a video where he compiles his highest rated/ favourite art tips he's found so far from this series (all platforms)

[@chaticc]

Oh and as for 1:36- Most animation studios will draw in the key shadows ( and highlights! ) with the line-art. You've probably seen the keyframes where they'll use colors like red, yellow, green, blue. Examples: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aHWnXoGdachra6M kzbin.info/www/bejne/rJKzf42ifsR8mKs kzbin.info/www/bejne/aoXcin6QosirbMU

I love Scott. He’s probably one of my favorite artists

[@yanuwwuu]

4:29 Something people need to understand is that ART IS A LUXURY. My school held this event and there was an art gallery where people could buy art made by students. At first i was going to charge around $5 for the pieces i made (Price is converted from IDR) I then found out the school already set prices for all pieces depending on the medium and digital was $10 each. I first thought that was way too high, until my friend who said he would buy it for $5 decided to buy two pieces for $20. tl;dr If someone wants to buy art THEY HAVE the money to spend.

[@safaiaryu12]

This is such a good point!!! I've always advocated for higher prices on commissions because young/new artists rarely value their time and skill enough, but this is a good point to add to that argument in the future. ❤

[@ngalethithieu4080]

So you want to say that people must be rich to buy any art??

[@Alresu]

@@ngalethithieu4080 It's more like rich people tend to be the people to buy are. Poor people do not have the money to pay the higher prices (and often not even the lower ones) so they are rarer buyers anyways. Also rich people often want to brag. They are socially conditioned to want that. And showing of art you bought is a way of bragging. So: Less opportunity for poor people, more use for rich people --> More rich people buy art.

[@MakeyJu]

@@ngalethithieu4080 if the art is commission/original and/or the actual physical piece (for traditional) - YES, you need to have spare money. like the OP said, art is a luxury, not a necessity you can get art prints for cheap maybe but NOT the work that took probably dozens of hours to create either specifically for you or the one and only piece

Yes, the shading technique can DEFINITELY be helpful. Not sure if it's just a manga thing, or if it's universal, but often, shading can get confusing with colour, especially if it's already a struggle area, because you get distracted by the tone, and you can't tell if your issue is the shading being wrong or the colour not working or there being too much or too little shadow. I use it sometimes, but not always, as I find it takes longer but gets a better result.

[@mariamambokadze5157]

I've seen a lot of cell animation WIPs with shadows and highlights only, before they do any coloring, so I think it's a common practice.

[@Snow10812]

Challenge: Do you think you could create a character, whatever character you want. Then redraw the character but color it using the contrary/opposite colors of the original and still make it look nice🤷🏾‍♀️🤦🏾‍♀️ I honestly would like to see you try🫣🫣

3:15 Ik exactly what she means! Lots of artists use the bucket tool to color their drawings and then clip stuff onto that and add shadows. However, when you bucket the lineart in the first place, you might miss spots like in small corners. Then, when you're done, you'll notice blank spots in the art.

[@safaiaryu12]

The grey layer as a clipping mask, to check if you've left any empty space, is something I do, though I often instead use a bright color that doesn't show up anywhere else in the drawing to make it more obvious.

[@transparent.hippopotamus838]

[@bacolotl9234]

shadows before base colors is actually a pretty good tip (at least if you use layer modes for shading). It lets you focus on where the light will hit and all that good stuff before worrying about colors, kind of similar to doing a black and white painting underneath and then adding your colors using layer modes

[@sigmundfreud7903]

This boxes shaming has to stop 😤They are great when you're learning perspective even for characters. If you draw only cercles for the hips or torso, you probably gonna end up with a flat shape with no side part. It's ok to boxify your bodies as long as you curve those shapes when you understand how it work (I understand why you say that but I think its important to say they can be really useful when you start learning, I was struggling hard with egg shapes bc I haven't learned 3d shape before that)

11:35 so, I think that here, it’s not rude unless they say to not ask for changes, and if their minor and it’s only in the sketch phase, I think it’s fine. I always send them my sketch and ask if anything should be changed but after sketch it’s too late and then it’s rude

5:04 also about the pricing thing, the people who want good art are willing to pay a lot for it, and the people who want cheap art will probably pay waaay less than your lowest rate. If you price it low the high paying ones will assume your art is low quality, and the low paying ones will still think it is too expensive unless you basically give them art for free. So neither group will choose you.

[@jonsotbh1565]

i think the left eye first thing is actually pretty good, because sometimes your tempo or how you think when you draw isn't flexible enough to draw both of them at the same time. or learn idk

[@Saturnthe_Sleepyhead]

3:03 - 3:25 I also set that layer as a color to complement the lighting I’m using and when I’m done with the base colors I like to lower the opacity a bit to make the colors look more harmonious and fit the lighting better. Hope this helps ❤

[@sabrinann]

I love the amount of love same has for his fans. Sam u have helped me learn so much ❤

[@scribblecloud]

3:20 they mean that if you accidentally left some pixels uncolored, those pixels will be grey (or whatever other base color you chose) instead of transparent, so theres no gaps or holes, i use this tip too, its always good to have a base color for your drawings

[@sorthstudios]

I think (maybe) you're underestimating the use of rectangles and boxes. I understand it's not for everyone's style (and might be more suited to draw male characters rather than female characters). I can say that when I stopped using circles for my sketches, and switched to only using rectangles and straight lines, everything about my art improved. Especially with regards to drawing realistic portraits. Anyways - thank you for another fun video! :D

The thing with shadows before color is getting the light source right without distracting with details, I like rendering with values only and then apply colors on a diferent layer

[@OcTi-HaT]

1:42 To answer your question, a lot of people do use that method to help save time, they just like the way it looks, or its a part of their art-style. I switch between doing that and not doing it depending on my mood and the mood I'm trying to set for my art piece.

[@yagogamer0001]

the shadows before color is called value painting, you paint the values you want, giving the volume and then you add the colors

[@RickardLejonhjarta]

shadows before base is sometimes used in miniature painting (like Warhammer and such) to keep the shadow value using a zenithal highlight so you dont have to put as much effort into the shading in the color layers

[@sadierainwastaken]

Bro this is the earliest ive been in one of your vids sam

[@BLiNNeMaNS]

the eye tip at 8:00 actually made more sense than the 1/10 you gave it. if you're freehand drawing on paper and righthanded, draw from left to right, that way you'll be able to compare your new lines with the old without blocking your reference with your hand.

[@kylejennings819]

That 1 outta 10 was a bit harsh. I think the concept of drawing right eye first because right handed and it isnt blocked is a pretty mind blowing realization for me.

[@Koi-the-silliest-silly]

When it comes to eyes honestly I always remind myself that eyes don't look exactly the same, and I always make my eyes slightly round or round depending on what kind of character I'm drawing, even if the character has more rectangular eyes, they'll still have slight roundness to them

[@OddishSupremacy]

Before coloring in anything, when animating, the shadows and highlights are often decided on directly on top of the sketch/line art then looked over to make sure theyre correct and then finally everythings colored in, so that tip wasnt wrong, and honestly isnt that bad anyway since having a ton of color can be distracting when trying to do shading and highlights for some, so its a solid tip imo

[@projectproxy]

I really like this video series because I get bite sized brain learning (sometimes learning what NOT to do, is good when your brain is constantly burned out from work like mine - it takes less effort to absorb the correct way of going about it). I feel like I am able to get a quick refresher in and not lose any knowledge even if I haven't touched my tablet in 3 months. Same with Koolens channel, very refreshing. When I want my brain to hurt (in a good way) I head to Sinix and Ethan Becker. I am SO GLAD that nowadays there's lots of amazing content to learn from no matter what mode my brain is in, be it study mode, useless potato mode, or the classic "I want memes and I want it now" mode. Thank you SamDoesFarts and Koolaid for teaching my potato brain

[@MsIDKwatmynameis]

About shading on a white layer, it's not something everyone into anime does and I wouldn't do it on the same white color as the background lol even with a clipping mask. For me, it's so I don't get distracted by the getting the colors right and just focus on their placement. It's pretty good for ADHD brain, but it does involve quite a bit of color correction after

There is an app called Vinkle that is using your art in one of their templates. Vinkle is an application that has templates which allows users to “make” edits without the work. A user can simply just select the photos and the app does the editing for them. Vinkle has released a feature which allows users to make “ai avatars” out of photos of themselves, but I immediately recognized your art style and your OC Kara in one of the templates. The app is also profiting off of your art as this specific template requires the “vip” pass to use, which costs real money.

Sam, I'm a brazillian artist and I'm here to say that you artwork is a inspiration for me

[@lilbibo1835]

Look Sam, first video, not for just anime, when drawing realistic and complex lighting, getting rid of the colours makes it easier to focus on everything else, ambient light, direct light, subsurface scattering, highlights, ambient occlusion, and using these in a blending layer, means you can add the colours after so the lighting will go right on top. I hope that made sense, I don’t use it that much but my favourite artist KZbinr, Challa, uses it occasionally and when he does, the artworks he makes turns out spectacular.

[@ridwanjodi1429]

3:13 it means it leaves transparents pixels around the unfilled area, where it is always the weakest point of using the fill/bucket tool. I am the one who mostly hate this situation, therefore I prefer using lasso fill or double click when using fill tool and color the untouched area.

[@nazminabegum8282]

SAM U U HELPED ME LEARN HOW TO DO A CLIPING MASK TY SO MUCHHHH❤

[@axellis8333]

The second point with the video where she was saying using a solid color layer underneath is that if you just use the fill tool and fill in between the lineart, it'll leave empty pixels underneath where the lines would be (the fill tool doesn't fill underneath the lines) I don't REALLY know why, but my coloring always looks better without those empty pixels underneath the lines.
