Whoa! The semi realistic shading on Daemon looks so cool!

[@Nadiaxel]

I think it makes him look so freaky XD BUT I REALLY APPRECIATE IT ♥

[@siriusteking9755]

How is your post 6 days ago when this video was posted 5 days again?

[@siriusteking9755]

Oh- now it says 6 days- oof

[@hollowlore4776]

its just me or looks like valorant art style?

[@jhowardsupporter]

Me as a photographer: What's a Daemon?

[@catherinej6542]

I desperately want to try the semi-realistic but I'm so scared to remove my lineart/use render layers and paint over everything

[@bee2514]

You can always go back lol. Are you talking digital?

[@goldenrats9742]

I don't know what app you use but I think there is an option to duplicate / copy. You can make duplicates of your drawing so if you don't like the rendering you can go back to the original one???

[@noeverythingthing]

@@goldenrats9742 I’m pretty sure all art programs made for making full art pieces have a duplication option for layers

[@goldenrats9742]

@@noeverythingthing Thank you for the info!

[@noeverythingthing]

@@goldenrats9742 no problem!

Ahh idk if you'll see this comment but your art is a huge inspo ❤️❤️❤️

[@stormy877]

I really do love videos like this because not only does it give me more ideas and variation in my own art, but it also just validates me in my current cartoony style. Sometime I just feel like I am being lazy for not doing things more realistically, and that's not entirely true.

[@paxieflakes2496]

[@ThisIsNotMyUsername]

As someone who can't shade/highlight hair, watching you doing that was mind blowing

[@1TigerTiny]

i love the semi-real rendering. it adds to the demon feel, bringing it into our world a bit more. I feel sometimes cartoons fail to convey how cool character designs really are

[@Henleash_Alt]

I just love the direction your art and channel is going. I’m ready!! ✨✨

[@Nadiaxel]

YAY THANK YOOOOOU ♥

[@MidgeZip]

I can't get over all the information you are offering everyone for free, You. Are. Amazing!

I'm Just happy that Nadiaxel is releasing a new video 😁

Awwwwww thank you >////

[@bchubb9153]

This is honestly one of the most concise, easiest to understand digital art tutorials I've found!!! I finally understand how to make my art digital, thank you so much :)

[@ChartToons_]

Wow, This style reminds me of Arcane (Riot Games) animation. Amazing!

Finally someone who uses clip studio thank you!! I feel like everyone is using procreate these days 😭👏👏👏

[@RallyRushh]

I've seen HUNDREDS of tutorials on youtube on how to shade drawings and NONE OF THEM mentioned the Asaros head technique!! THAT SHIT IS A GAME CHANGER FOR ME! THANK YOU SO MUCH!

[@annahank4053]

When you ranted about shading hair and ended with "actually, it has everything to do with that" it made me so happy for some reason to see such an amazing artist be so human

[@ArtWithRose]

Also I live your new icon!

[@Nadiaxel]

THANK YOU, ROSE ♥

[@unaestrella1876]

Haha u know 😂

[@InkAirplane]

This looks super amazing! Absolutely love your artstyle. It's been ages since I've watched a tutorial and really felt like I benefitted from it. Thank you tremendously :)

Omg this looks fireeee🥺✨✨

[@Nadiaxel]

*splashes with water* XD

[@soli6026]

This is what I needed, thank you so much also YOU DIDN’T USE CUSTOM BRUSHES( or not that I noticed) BLESS YOUR SOUL. Other guides provided info on the differences and a little bit of what you should do but never really went further and explained some techniques and methods on how to do it.

[@garyshelton2559]

Just found this, and all I can say is FINALLY someone explains the steps taken to achieve a rendered aesthetic!!! I appreciate this. Thank you!!

[@utopiafantasy5079]

nadia i love the way how you teach! i watched lots of your tutorials and i can safely say, you are one of the best there is and ever will be!

[@ssmithjr1]

Hi, I’ve been in love with drawing and art/comics/manga my whole life, but I just recently upgraded to digital and I’m so in love with it lol. This video helped me out IMMENSELY, I’ve never really gotten the shading of my characters down packed, but I think that’s about to change. Thank you, keep up the great work. Oh, and you’ve got a new sub btw 👌🏾

[@cynicalpiink]

I've told you before, but you're such an amazing teacher. I love your art, and love your tutorials

[@samiral-hayed1656]

I thank God for you and this tutorial, I was looking everywhere for a tutorial that didn't immediately dive into a dozen different layer settings for weeks now and this one is perfect.

[@bobby2bend]

Your character looks absolutely metal in the semirealistic style, it's a really fun design

[@rustypajamas7419]

I’ve really drifted from my cartoony style and I’m trying to get back to it and watching you videos really help

[@leavemealone802]

Thank you for showing me what is the rendering style of The Bad Guys movies, so I can properly recreate it

[@arizonaconsumer]

i love how this tutorial was very simple and calming to watch and learn. i really loved it so thank you

[@BelieveAndFlourish]

Wow! Thank you so much for making this video! You seriously deserve so many more likes. I could not for the life of me understand the shapes of shading fully, as I had never heard of the planes of the head reference. I also didn't realize that there is actually an art style called "semirealism," and that helps me understand variation between it and cartoon so much better now. You have just made my artistic life so much fuller and easier to manage, so thank you. Now if I can just figure out this stuff for cartoon/semirealistic animals.

[@psirae1181]

this vid helped me realise, ever since i watched this my art really improved !! thank u so much ♡♡♡

[@rommel315]

Thumbnail looks like Silco from Arcane

[@velarixart]

wow i saw this on my homepage and it's literally just the video i was looking for!

[@mjpete27]

You are truly inspirational and so talented, I am just amazed that you simply give this valuable information to your viewers for FREE! I struggled with these concepts for so long converting to a digital workflow from traditional art methods. I am still enjoying watching your videos even though I am still trying to get back to more traditional methods. I believe that it is a real bonus that your working with an affordable program too! Many people just use Photoshop and expect those who follow along to do the same! Nadia, you are truly a Gem! Please take care and be safe and keep creating these amazing videos!

[@SparDanger]

Makes me glad Clip Studio paint has a similar feel to Photoshop (what I use). I should be able to create a similar effect! Thanks for making this tutorial!

[@ariaelle499]

I'm so jealous 😭😭 like it's so satisfying to watch you shade i felt goosebumps likeeee arrghh that's soo coolll

[@bridsara8398]

Omg this tutorial is amazing . Can't believe I found it just now . My art is looking better already. And the character design of the demon lad is just chefs kiss.

thank you!! I've been struggling with the skin so much by adding so many colors and eventually mudding up the skin color and making them have super sunken in eyes.

[@1kuzuki]

Yes Ms Nadiaxel! I will do my best to ace your amazing classes! Also this video was very helpful for the project I’m working on right now.

[@Kalin-ng7vp]

Tysm for sharing!! I've ALWAYS wondered how artist could color like this. I always questioned myself if I needed a set of colours or I needed some sort of reference to guide me, to go to a level of skill like this but it turns out it's just about blending and picking the right shades!! This was really informative and helpful, I hope other people could see this too 😭😊🇵🇭💕

I have been doing art for as long as i can remember, it is the only thing that has stuck with me through everything. But i NEVER understood shading, most of my art had no shading or just random shading that wasnt good cause i had no understanding I have taken art classes, watched videos, practised, but its never really clicked for me Until this video To say my mind is blown is a fucking understatement Thank you, so much

[@AkiaraDolls]

Dear Nadia .. to hear you is so fun.. and you're so adorable, i do enjoy seeing your tutorials double because you and because you teach things i never though at that level. Thank you for making tutorials and hope to see you on twitch..love your new haircut ^_^ .. please give big hug to Tsuki from me

omg using the mask format for shading is great, it never ocurred to me to do that, and i always have trouble with shade/lighting withouth references (i mean i know i can use them, but the mask is super useful) thanks :D
