Line art is especially important if you want to become an animator. You can't cheat your way out of it on big productions.

[@Momocham23]

even for illustrators it really depend on their artstyle too. There are lots of artstyle like graphic type illustration where lines are important. Kind of disagree with her opinion that lineart can’t improve a piece of work. If you actually know how to properly control line depth then it can add more emphasis to shape and flow to in your piece

[@samanthajeffers9339]

I agree. Lineart is my favorite part and can convey so much emotion

"You can save an image with good colouring but not with a good liner" I think lineart is really underrated. I was trying to lessen my lineart, but then I decided to embrace it and really play with line width and details. I can drop down flat colours on the lineart and depending on how much detail I've done, it can look practically finished

[@sablemoreno5095]

There's a number of artists I follow who do pieces exclusively with linework and a simple flat coloring with MAYBE 1 set of shadows/highlights. In their case yeah, lineart makes or breaks it. I absolutely adore that style though. It's SO hard to get right though since you can't really hide any mistakes with effects and such

I used to be so good drawing hands! They were my favorite thing to draw! What happened to meeeeeeeeee

[@fhocoo]

I once saw a nice tip for the first page in your sketchbook: just doodle something quick and "ugly", so you don't have the anxiety of not making the first page perfect because there's already something ugly on it. And anything you draw into your sketchbook after that will always be better than the first page and you'll automatically feel better about all the pages after that. It took some getting used to for a perfectionist like me, but I really like this trick now!

[@safaiaryu12]

That's actually a great idea. A friend of mine took a playwriting class, and they said their first assignment was to write the worst play they could possibly imagine. Exactly the same concept; everything after that could only be better.

I absolutely do that, it's pretty common I have clothes and body lines in separate folders. If I want to converse layers, then I'll make things on different layers ( For easy fixing and adjusting ), then merge and smoosh them down into one layer once I'm happy

[@jaim8147]

7:03 I interpreted what she said differently, maybe I'm wrong. I thought she meant that if your coloring isn't good, it doesn't matter if your lineart is good, cuz it will not hide the coloring.

[@TaiyoTsukii]

I actually watch art videos while I'm drawing more often than not, it helps me pick up info and focus on my art better, that way the information gets put into your art quicker and, for me, gets stuck in your long term memory.

[@thekarlshow_tm]

If I never traced all of those “how to draw cute anime girls” books I would not be where I am today

[@CaramelTillies]

I remember seeing a really good explanation how tiktok can still be good but not always the best option for tips; especially art tips. Because of its short time format. With the limited time it becomes hard to actually explain why you’re doing this. It’s like how ‘Here’s some good colour palettes because of colour theory!’ The audience (typically art babies) doesn’t get the full look on why it looks good. All they know it works because of something called colour theory, and if the person showing this decides to explain it full out they’d have to do a part 2. Now because of how people don’t tend to link or how Tiktok is laid out this part 2 tends to be harder to find. Tiktok does have good art tips but I don’t recommend it as your first go to. Platforms with longer formats would probably be your best option if you do want to check online. Heck! Sam here is a good teacher aswell. Now don’t let this comment restrict you on any decision you make for future projects just take it as something that *could* help you improve.

If you really want, draw every strand of hair. There is no “right” or “wrong” way. But remember, following Sam’s advice has one HUGE advantage; you can finish an art piece AND still have time for things like eating, sleeping and human interaction.

[@UnknownShiny]

when i do the roughest rough sketch i do the body on a layer and then clothes and hair on a second layer. when I'm sketching a detailed sketch(i don't do lineart) i put everything together

[@tsakeboya]

The tip about colouring being more important than lineart annoys me a little because it only applies if youre mainly a "painting" artist, one that works in terms of pieces. It is completely useless for stuff like comics or animation.

[@vivientakacs5599]

I don't draw humans a lot, but yes, I put everything on separate layers. The hair is separate, the skin (any part of the body that shows when clothes on including the face), clothes, any accessories. I mostly draw horses, for them I have the horse's body on one layer, next is the mane, then another for tail. It's because I really struggle drawing hair and so I can erase and delete anything without having to think about erasing and redrawing points of the body. If something is behind and I'm not sure how it should go that also goes on a separate layer and later in I erase whatever part is blocked by the object. In the end though I make a clean line art when I'm satisfied and that goes on one single layer. Idk for me this is easier. (And yes for humans I occasionally have to make a separate layer for eyes or nose or lips because I keep erasing and nothing seems to work out and it's easier)

[@huntressmma1822]

[@Waddling_little_penguin]

1:33 this is a legitimate way of drawing. I was given a picture of a three your old to draw it and said it back so they can have their own portrait, and I couldn’t have even started if we weren’t using the grid method. So I love your channel, but I think that part is fine for beginners who can’t do your level of things yet, okay?

[@PixieCloud47]

The grid method does have its place. Artists during the renaissance would plan out paintings on a small scale and use grids to paint them larger. It would be extremely difficult to get the proportions for a large mural correct without using a grid. So yes they are legitimate 👍 and ofc they’re also good for beginners to practice

[@dhabitahpunk]

I'm not a beginner artist and I still use the grid method (I tweak it to be a bit more as guidelines rather than grid). I don't think there's anything wrong with it if you're someone who does realistic art and have to get the proportions as accurately as possible.
