Yaaay, glad you're getting use out of the markers!! This turned out so nice Yana! Also, I loove McQueen too!

[@CosmicSpectrumArt]

Thanks Tina!!

[@emilyvandalen6579]

iv seen the markers u bought and gifted and there look amazing. with this set do u recommend it because the prices look good as it is 79.99 for 90 or do u recommend another

[@lemontea3434]

@@emilyvandalen6579 I'm not them, but if you prefer mostly mid-tones I recommend the 80 set and if you prefer mostly vibrant and pastels tones, get the 90 set. At least is how I see them xd

Why did your pfp and user make me start dying🥲

[@KaosynsArt]

Your art style is amazing! And I really like "imperfect" lines a lot more than perfect controlled ones. It just looks more natural and lively. Can't wait to get your new artbook!!

[@CosmicSpectrumArt]

Thank you! :)) I kinda know what you mean about the imperfect lines.. although I naturally lean heavily towards excessive control hahaha

[@JodesDaPhee]

You have a knack for perfect timing! To be honest, watching you draw and erase is comforting. I dunno why but I've been in a long ass artist block / rut because each time, I would obsess over getting the anatomy right the first time. I would put so much pressure on myself to do so. Thanks so much for al your videos and advice, it truly helped not only after a long day but also in connecting with my artistic side with confidence and a more chill yet proactive mindset. I look forward to buying your new artbook too!💜

[@danny_decheeto8300]

The timing was good on this one yeah

[@SpeedAnarchy]

Well get back to studying and have fun Jodes

[@JodesDaPhee]

@@SpeedAnarchy Somehow I keep forgetting to just enjoy and trust the process itself but I am slowly getting there, thanks! Right now, I'm just enjoying reading up on Anatomy and other artists as well as watching and learning from other art KZbinrs. I appreciate the comment, thank you! 😁👍

[@CosmicSpectrumArt]

Thanks so much :)) Glad to hear it too, i have a tendency towards expecting too much as well for, I think it's refreshing to re-examine your own expectations and think about why you hold yourself to that standard. For me erasing also felt like something less than perfection for a while, but nowadays I've managed to combat that useless mindset - the only person that cares about that is me and it serves no purpose x'D. Not all of us can/should be like Kim Jung Gi lolll

[@gabybop]

This is gonna make an EPIC sketchbook tour ❤️❤️❤️🔥🙃

[@CosmicSpectrumArt]

lmao some dayyyy hahahah x'D

[@icarussarts]

Haha guess I'll get Microns now because at this point my Faber-Castell fine liners are skipping, the paper doesn't work well with them and they're more or less kinda dead. The illustration turned out great, it has the original 90's Superhero Western comics vibe mixed with some manga influence and I'm here for this!

[@CosmicSpectrumArt]

Thanks hahaha! Yeah I'd highly recommend microns compared to other fine-liners, in my experience if you're careful not to mess up the nib they can last quite a long time without drying out, and even once they start drying out a bit they actually become more versatile in terms of the lines they can produce. I remember back in the day when I used these all the time I reeeeally treasured the ones that were on the cusp of running out haha.

[@vermillianno]

Ah, I didn't know you guys are friends, I love both your art, and this one looks really cool!

This new sketchbook series is turning out to be such a nice relaxing thing to look forward to, I’ve recently taken a leap of curiosity and one of my new obsession is my first glass dip pen so I’ve been bingeing all the sketchbook sessions during my practice

[@Wildf1r33]

[@leazekrom5538]

I was in a bit of an artblock this week, and watching you work on this piece got me so inspired!! I love your linework here, it’s full of details and so elegant! 🤧💕

[@lolitanabukodonosorova6876]

Regarding the lineart process - you are making perfect sense to me- I'm the same way,I also sketch messy and I can't see how I could do the lineart at the end without fu*king it up,or rather how to do the shapes first without ending badly, but when I see people who do it that way,it looks really good and neat. The only way I see it possible is perhaps to do the lineart in color of each shape and afterwards go in with a dark shade (greys to blacks). But since I haven't tried it yet either,I can't guarantee it will work out 😅 Also, I really have to tell you that is refreshing to see someone talk about the typical problems of getting rusty with a medium and thank you for that, it's honest. I think anyone that does visual art is a perfectionist at heart, yet noone speaks about the struggle when you get rusty (which happens a lot even when you work a lot),everything seems so effortless,but it's not,even when it is. It really made me feel better. I was starting to think it was a problem with me,yet this video and the comments made me see it happens even when someone is a great artist (which I think you are,I really like your style).

[@leighbaptiste4126]

[@CreativePhenomenonArt]

I love Tina she is amazing and so is her art. 🥰 Those pigmas sometimes take longer to dry depending on how thick you put it on. Tip for the marker colors or lack there of. Layering is your friend. Play around with different colors I think you would probably be able to make the color you need for the uniforms. I have purchased new inks recently and am going to try to make art using one color. Wish me luck. Your art is beautiful I love it so much. 🤗💕

[@CosmicSpectrumArt]

yess! Tina is a sweetheart ;u; Thanks for the tip! I do remember from back when I used to use markers, multiple layers of the same colour helped a lot for just getting the desired tone or adding some quick shading, but I've never really tried layering different colours O: Good luck!! It'll be so fun 8D It's always fun to experiment with some sort of new restriction or medium :DD

Something that can help with lineart looking as good as the sketch is having scratchy-er lineart! Your lining style traditionally is very clean, unlike your loose sketching style. So, the change might feel drastic. You’re obviously a more advanced artist than me, but, it’s a tip I learned

[@miyagi_draws]

This turned out great! I used Microns when I started drawing and they DO feel different when I use them today. I suspect they made the nibs harder which makes them slide easier over the paper. I switched to the Sharpie pen (not a Sharpie, but it's the all black 'Sharpie Pen') and that has the proper 'grab' to the Microns that I remember.

[@vasilikikouimtzi6549]

So pretty ❤

[@harleyquinn7708]

Ugh I understand what you mean about the shape thing, I tool an animation class for procreate this year and the way they would render things is by going shape first and layer by layer adding detail. It's very hard for me to understand lol. Im buying new microns again for the the first time in three years, I use a round brush and India ink to line my paintings to I'm interested to see how I'll do after all this time 😳

[@CosmicSpectrumArt]

YESS... ugh I was sitting there thinking about it some more, and I think one of my difficulties with the shape only method is that I perceive solid shapes without an outline as malleable or something? It's also faster for me to fix a shape with a line rather than changing it and filling in the empty space or erasing it away.... hmmmm have fun with the microns!! :D

[@kake7839]

Art

[@budrothefox3666]

I have the same feeling whenever i try to block is simple forms, shapes or colors first then do line work. my brain can't see the contours as well and i struggle with it. I want to learn how to do it both ways cause i think there are pros and cons to both.

[@lilylouie4764]

I've seen many artists use red pencil to sketch out their drawing in the beginning process. Is it better than using a normal pencil or are you just using it to match the skin tone on the characters and avoid grey lines showing through? I'm eager to try this technique!

Honestly, the lines instead of finding the shape first works better for me too.. Like- I have tried it, but it just got a lil confusing.. So yeh- I stuck on the one I usually do..

[@chantalmassin1756]

Do you always draw with a colored pencil? Does it make a difference? Pls tell me your thoughts on it? Thanks a bunch

[@CosmicSpectrumArt]

Not always, I switch around mediums quite a lot for whatever reason. The difference is that a regular pencil erases completely, whereas a coloured pencil kinda remains - and I don't try to remove the sketch, so the finished product just looks different. Sometimes I prefer sketching with colerase because it doesn't reflect light like graphite, but this isn't really a huge concern. Just an aesthetic choice mostly

[@chantalmassin1756]
