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

[@SajiriArt]

"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

[@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

[@IfYouAreReadingThisILY]

1:35 about the grid method, for me it really helped me improve very fast. It made me focus more of thw colours and my hand became used to the feeling of the shapes

[@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.

Thank you for the amazing tips for all of us art babies, Sam! (Don't worry Sam, you're not the only one that draws stars like that:)

[@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.

[@aspenisthebest]

no tiktok is advice is mostly horrible because it's mostly narcissistic children spewing nonsense.

I think it’s okay if you have the colour outside the lines anyways

[@JakeTheLateCreates]

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.

[@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.

[@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)

[@CosmicRot]

the grid method is actually great for those with aphantasia *when still learning* You obviously need to do tons of training and drawing outside of that as well, but especially those of us who can't visualize ANYTHING in our brains, the grid method is where A LOT of people start out.. it's either that or tracing, or both. When you have little to no visual memory, and can't visualize anything in your brain[some people call it "not having a mind's eye" or whatever] 90% of drawing is based like entirely on different types of memory and skills such as muscle memory, being able to replicate things from a reference, and being able to almost like "sculpt" things from scratch. [the whole you have to have like 2 to 20 layers of sketching because you can only see your drawing once you've started drawing, just like clay starts out as a blob] like I know you're being lighthearted and frankly I haven't used the grid method since I was like 12[actually maybe once in a community college art class but it was required] lol, but it is an important learning tool for people with aphantasia so i thought i'd talk about it for those who don't know or who are really adamant on it being bad and just cause a lot of people either forget aphantasia exists, or seem to think you can't be a visual artist with aphantasia

[@danielgarcia-barnett7935]

Grid method was great for me to teach me how to observe proportions. It's a tool just like anything else.

[@buzzy1010]

1:30 I don't really use the grid method but it still seems to be good practice when u don't know where to start! But thing is, with practice, you should make the grids bigger and ultimately you just need a few lines

(not a hate comment or anything, just something that caught my attention) 3:20 yep, I do. I honestly don't know what's so strange about that? I usually sketch the base body of the character first with no details and then when adding them I like to sketch the eyes and hair in different layers to allow myself to use the Liquify / Deform tool to achieve with my desired shapes for those elements. Of course, I try not to end up with dozens of layers for a sketch, I try to end up with an all-in-one merged layer at the end, but what I'm saying is that it is waayyy more comfortable for me to edit the shape of the hair/eyes/face or even hands (whatever) in different layers in the sketch phase lol
