Artist Problems

Here's some relatable problems/ pet peeves that I have encountered as an artist. Do you feel uncomfortable when people watch you draw? Do you ever have a cool idea, but when you draw it, it doesn't look the same? If so, I'm sure you'll find this video relatable.

Shanspirational to draw hands just look at you hand and pose it like you need to

[@pogchampsbeatboxes1790]

Shanspirational you need more subs. I just subbed! It's not everyday that I find an art channel that I love. I'm about to follow you on Instagram!

How to draw hands: You cry.

[@aceeaster7732]

[@emmal9768]

How to draw hands: Practice And cry.

[@whoops._.3684]

How to draw hands: Put the arms behind the characters back.

Step 2: Jump out the window

[@SilentSanctum]

Weird... when I'm in art class, my skills actually increase.. maybe that's because my crush sits right in front of me though... Also the trick to drawing hands is draw the shape of your palm, for the fingers, first look at your fingers and note that some of your fingers are longer than each other, for example, your pinky is shorter than all your other fingers, so draw it shorter than the other fingers. To get the right shape and length, use circles to draw the lines/creases on your fingers; where your fingers bend. It may look flat at first, but to fix that, add details like the lines all over your hands.

[@SilentSanctum]

Dude, this is so long xD

[@Shanspirational]

Oh really? if I had a crush sitting in front of me I wouldn't be able to draw at all lol. Also thanks for the tip!

[@SilentSanctum]

No problem, I'm actually learning how to draw hands in art class right now

[@JTread2003]

Chill If my crush was sitting in front of me, I'd be drawing worse because I am stressing about her seeing me drawing. I don't know, I feel like I don't want to make a mistake or something.

[@euphoria3590]

*am I the only one who related to all of these pet peeves*

[@pr4naur]

Nope

[@day_dream8175]

Nah you aint :>

[@AlcmeneUndertaker]

Nope

[@jceh-art]

Okay, I know I'm late but here's something on the hand thing. Think what shapes it's composed of. (Basically just simplify it) There are many ways to do this: 1 the palm is a cube-like shape and the finger are lines coming off of it. 2 the wrist is a circle, the rest is an ellipse (fingers included) 3 the whole hand is just a weird elongated pentagon/hexagon thingy Of course there are different ones as well, and you can combine them. I personally use a combination of 1 and 3. When you've blocked out the basic shape, just start detailing it a bit more. That was probably explained very poorly, but I did my best. Also, look up some reference, it helps!

[@naktiis]

I relate to literally all of these, subscribed

[@Shanspirational]

Yay!

[@cloudiistarz9893]

I'm ok at drawing hands but my advice is to look watch some videos and not just one. What I did was watched atleast 20 different hand videos to find the easiest way for me. Also to look at your own hand and see how it moves or the way that the fingers bend. That's just my advice, sorry if it's not very good but I'm sure you'll get the hang of it! Also amazing video 👌, btw you got a new subscriber 🤗

[@Shanspirational]

Oh thank you so much!! For the tips and the sub :)

[@slimyfurby]

oh no... the hands... also the styles I can't figure mine out yet

[@ronova_a6269]

13 happens to me like once I made a character only to realize that it looks a bit like papyrus to the armor style (not color) but it looked different enough that I kept it.

[@dewy195]

On number 8 I don't really see having non-consistent style a bad thing . I feel that you get to have fun with style so having it non-consistent doesn't really matter in my opinion. If you really do want something consistent then try to write down some rules. Example: all pastel, triangle faces, etc. You can also do workshops online what can help with style.

[@megathot3734]

For me, one of the worst thing is when I'm in school and I draw. I'm a big Transformers fan, so when I don't have time and material for something else I usally draw some ideas for characters and these things.... Then other girls come to me, destroy that paper and scream at me that I'm weird. And that I can't draw... Like make some good drawing yourself before telling someone she's bad. It's not even a contructive critic, it's just annoying! (Also I don't have money for pc so I've got to draw everything with my hand and like 7 copics)

[@Shanspirational]

Aw I'm sorry to hear that

[@HelenZhao]

All totally relatable XD I feel you

[@avthendiarie9955]

Also number four I can understand trust me I get really high anxious when seeing someone else art and see my as trash it frecks me out

[@x-kindred-xx9243]

You did a really go job and you brung up different problems that I don’t see often. Also idk if your character is how your style is but to help with inconsistent style go look for some artists that inspire you and study their style then add the best part of their style into yours (best part by your opinion btw). And finally just keep working on your art great video

[@Shanspirational]

Thanks!

[@sm0lfry198]

I really like this video! Your lip syncing is very nice one thing I would suggest though is to draw the head instead of using the circle tool (unless you draw really good circles) and another thing I would suggest is to not hide the hands behind the back and I know you can't draw hands like you said in this video but if you draw you hands more then they'll look better! Overall I really like this video and hope you make more!

[@Shanspirational]

Thanks! If you look at my recent video you'll notice I stopped using the circle tool, and thanks for the tips! I try to make videos once a week :)

[@rodolfodesales120]

The secret to drawing hands is first making a base for the palm then drawing lines for the fingers

[@Shanspirational]

Thanks for the tip!

[@mimiabdo4421]

Practice everyday when you draw hands, that's how I got better

[@ratgirl146]

When u think of something and then u realise it already exists..

[@Shanspirational]

I hate that

[@inkling457]

Well, when drawing hands, I start out with a box, and draw the fingers on top of that.

[@rocket_starz]

My parents like to show all my speed paints to their friends. And they call them animations for some reason. And then everyone is confused.

[@Shanspirational]

Lol

[@REDACTEDrose184]

At first I was terrible at drawing hands but, after learning a bit from my art teacher it became less difficult.1:26

[@crystalgacha2218]

Number 4 I so true thooooooo

[@standepain]

1:22 Easy! You just have to draw a shit ton of hands. You literally have a model right in front of you that you can draw. Best way IMO to figure out the structure is to drawn mech/robot hand anime style. Once you mastered the blocky robot hands you basically just round them out to give them a human feel but it's all about just drawing hands over and over and over again, from different angles, doing stuff like holding objects, pointing, reaching out...etc.
