Snaketail (Sped up process video) Watch in HD!

[@MMikaKPoke]

The amount of detail in that picture makes me want to cry

[@angelo2583]

Oh my god, your line art is absolutely flawless. You're so awesome.

[@qorrid5485]

you (and a few other artists) have inspired me so much to keep drawing and never give up! my art from 2 months ago was trash, and the proportions were all off. yet 2 months later nobody believes that i actually made my art! i want to say thanks for being so great and inspiring all of your subscribers, and your art really gives me motivation to try harder! i hope one day i can be as good as you

[@Silverwolfnyght]

aa sterling i missed seeing all your art!

[@dr.godfreylambwell2260]

Your lines are so pleasing to just look at.

[@darkshade7254]

Pinfire your profile is Funny!

[@bythehills]

I love how you do Snaketail's tail and back! It looks awesome

[@XxLunarFlowerxX]

Yes the HD option fixed the problem! Thanks a bunch! Fabulous Speed Paint btw I really loved how the eyes turned out in the end. :3

[@АняК-д1ч]

Wow... Amazing art. *wanna a commish* So, You're back. With amazing arts. Hello from Russia.

[@JimmyJ1nx]

I love the way you do your shading! Love this!

[@SterlingKato]

Haha hey darlin! Long time no talk~! Yeah I had to find a new recording program that worked and so I found one :3 Took me a while but! Here I am ^_^ He is SUCH a fun character and I am so glad to have him, thank you for the opportunity to own such a neat little guy :3 Thank you again and hope you are well :)

[@macedogspin5779]

I love warrior cat speed points! I really love the warrior cat books too I just finished the book called "The Last Hope" that book was so sad and so good at the same time!!

[@guestquest3258]

This will probably start a comment war, but I dont think the Warrior books were so great. The first time I read the original series, yes, it was fun and quite exciting. But after that, all the books copied. 1. One or more cats had some special "power" or "destiny". 2. A lot of drama and different "groups" (or clans, whatever) joined together. 3. A huge battle was fought, whether lost or not I love this artist, though, anyways.

[@SterlingKato]

Emma Queen Haha it's amusing how many people assume this guy is a Warrior oc XD He isn't, he's just a cat. His name was given by the person who I adopted him from. The first installment of books were okay, but after those I just lost interest. It was so damn sad. Interesting and neat, but sad :I Like... there's almost constant death in it and there's drama which is like... seriously? They're cats... I mean, I understand it's supposed to be appealing; making them more anthropomorphic cats, but after the last book of the first series I was just like... "Well that was fun." And then they just kept making more! I was like I'm not reading all these :I I picked up one and skimmed through it and it just seems so weird; it got too magical for my taste. Like Harry Potter as cats or something. If people like them, more power to them. For me they were 'eh, okay'. Nothing special and eventually they pretty much just got redundant. What sucks now is that EVERY cat oc is a Warrior or something. Like this guy, he's not. I even explained this in the information panel here. BUT people will continue to call him one because of his name or because he's a cat. Which sucks because... well, he's just a cat; nothing to do with Warriors.

[@SterlingKato]

Thanks but this isn't a Warrior speed paint. This character is just a cat character. Nothing in relation to Warriors ^^;;; Thanks again though

[@macedogspin5779]

Emma Queen Yes the books do get kind of boring but I still really like them because of the adventures and stuff like that.

[@SterlingKato]

Macedog spin I did enjoy the adventures, but they kind of did get a bit too hocus-pocus-y for my liking. Still, they were good ^^

[@larahastings8243]

Thats awesome! :D great detail and anatomy! Just one question, where did you get all these programs? :O

[@dakotawolf2004]

Love it, love all the detail all the work put into it. Great job!

[@GodisKanin]

OH MY GOD I love you, thank you, I didn't know that was possible in photoshop (I have CS5) and I've been needing it sooo bad :3

[@SterlingKato]

Thank you :) Yeah that's exactly why I do it actually haha, especially for a character with so few markings but they are kind of complex ones. I want to have them there so I don't have to keep flipping back and forth as much to look them over when colouring. That and the shading helps me dictate where I want to put it later on. For some it may not work out but it's just my own little method which helps me :3

[@SterlingKato]

Normally I use it only up to a 5 or a 6 but when I record the screen it slows down and lags really bad making the lines jumpy so I put it to 10-12. As for configurations I use the Ink pen for line work and and I keep it standard, nothing changed or adjusted. The Pen brush works just as well, not much difference really I just like the Ink Pen, haha! That and practice does help as well :)

[@blackdeath1498]

OMG the eyes there so beautiful!!!!!

[@Silverwolfnyght]

aa that's great to hear. i can't wait to see more videos from you! ;u; ah man, thanks for takin such good care of him! xD no problem and i hope you are too :)

[@SterlingKato]

I'm not sure if it works in any versions lower than CS3(4) but if you go to the 'hand' tool and click to get the menu, there's a 'hand rotate' option which is how I did it. I don't know if it works in other versions. The option isn't there in my Photoshop Elements 5.0

[@keamuu]

Amazing, the first song sounded like it could be in the hunger games in some parts XD

[@nicoleosuna8713]

May I please use this cat to draw on an iPod app called DrawCast? By the way, AMAZING drawing, I just love the coat, the colors on the coat, and I just cant get over his beautiful tail. I love everything about him. again amazing drawing!

[@KittenDy]

Please, could you tell me what brush, stabilizer and brush configurations you use to do your lineart. I could never get such soft, straight, flawless lines but shaky at times ones. ;-;

[@SterlingKato]

Thank you. Buy them :) You can find both through Google (Paint Tool SAI and Photoshop CS5) Both have trials you can download but they'll run out and you'll have to buy the program after.

[@GatoIberico]

Amazing job as always! Your style is so unique and captivating :L

[@rachelgraceful359]

"a small doodle" ._.

[@TibleUWU]

i know how you feel

[@savannahmeow6637]

Cool! It looks just like him!

[@VivaLaCalico]

What selection tool are you using for the cell shading? It looked like a paint-brush style one, and the normal selection tools can't do that. It looked so cool.

[@maygraves]

Wow... you have made me speechless! May I ask if you use a tablet? and what program do you use in the first part of the video? ouo

[@user-10021]

How can you set the brush that the end becomes small but the middle stays thick?

[@gingermaniac5484]

Cat looks pretty frekin metal to me, it’s amazing.

[@SterlingKato]

It seems to happen on and off for some people (It did for me too) but if you watch it in HD (like 720p) it seems to load all the way... I have no idea why it does that but it doesn't freeze in WMP at all so it's a KZbin glitch. Other videos have been doing that as well, not sure what's up with that.

[@AriaHope]

I'm rather curious, what technique do you use when coloring the fur? any time I try to color fur like that, it lines get really cramped and look rather messy. (ps, that is one fine oc you got there)

[@AriaHope]

Aria Hope Wait nm I figured it out, the answer was pen stability, sorry.

[@kodakwithlakely]

Awesome art! This is inspiring for me :)

[@carolisbea5281]

What is the name of the tool you used that you drew in blue with, and the blue became a selected area? (Sorry if my terms are wrong, I've just gotten into photoshop and other digital programs)Also, would that tool be on photoshop 8? Or even Autodesk Sketchbook?

[@SterlingKato]

I'm using a program called Paint Tool SAI and that is the way the selection brush tool looks. I believe some of the newer versions of Photoshop have something similar as well as the older ones but I'm not familiar with the program enough to say the tool. I am also not familiar with Sketchbook either enough to compare which tool would be similar. Many apologies

holyfurr i love the music!! this is a superb discovery :D

[@alex-senpai5899]

do people not read anything it said in the video it's not a warrior oc like seriously at least 75% of the comments include the words "warrior oc"

[@sevlo7771]

I'm not seeing a lot of comments regarding warriors.

[@SterlingKato]

I think KZbin has a glitch because it's starting to freeze/lock up the video at around 7 mins in =/ It doesn't do that on WMP for me...so I think it's a KZbin glitch.

[@seventhsinner9818]

Did you buy the Paint Tool Sai? Because I've been eating to buy it but... Can't free a website I can really trust. Anyone got it a safe website for me?

[@QueenEyolf]

This is really good!

[@xgalaxymeowx3723]

One question, how do you use it to draw? I mean I can edit photos with it but that's all I can do.

[@BumbleBee-uq4jr]

paint tool is made for drawing with xD its really not hard

[@catmaribel]

Do you take requests? Sorry if you get a lot of these questions.

[@WolfsrainTsuki]

Beautiful! And of course TSFH music is always good!

[@darkshade7254]

Wow! GOOD DRAWING!

[@maddyl7853]

How do you make it look like fur?

[@dragonwolfist]

i- i love th 2nd song what's it called?

[@tsenekal3719]

on wat dit you draw

[@val1940]

How did you manage to get the pressure for the selection tool ( 8:31 )? Mine doesn't understand pressure, and it can be very annoying

[@TheDeathToday]

+Valérie Gaubert I'd like to know too!

[@SterlingKato]

+Valérie Gaubert I think there's a setting for it but my version of SAI already came with it set so I'm not sure. Maybe Google.com can help? :)

[@TheDeathToday]

Sterling Kato I remember searching for it some time ago on Google but didn't find anything. I guess I can always give it a try anyway :)

[@werewolfgal1]

On your brush panel, tick the advanced settings box. It's right under your shape and texture dropdowns. Now look at the bottom of this and you'll see tick boxes for size, density, and blend. Blend is greyed out on brushes where it's non-applicable IE the ink pen. Tick whatever boxes you want to set. You can now safely untick the advanced settings box, which will hide the menu but keep the settings.

[@TheDeathToday]

werewolfgal1 I'll try that, thanks! :)

[@rebeccarhodes7260]

Amazing work :D

[@Wolvesbane39]

um for some reason the video freezes when the tail is being colored. I've reloaded the video several times and it continues doing it. Is this happening to anyone else?

[@_TIO]

I guess you could say you art is PAWsitively amazing~! :33

[@jamiemeadows1425]

What type of brush did u use?

[@blackdeath1498]

what tool do u use to draw whiskers??

[@fankidtastic]

this is soooo cool

[@InkLorium]

where do you download PTS ? Give me link please ? :)

[@laurenelise680]

PTS costs money sadly ;-;

[@marie-charlottekottek9524]

do/can u make a tutorial how u shade pls?? :3

[@SterlingKato]

There's a few moments where my computer froze but I tried to cut them out. However, I had something similar happen to me where a video stopped loading or working but when I click to watch it in HD it seems to load just fine then O_O It doesn't freeze or lock up for me so try the HD option. Otherwise I have no idea what to do O_o

[@SterlingKato]

It all depends on the lag really. I tried it lower but the lines went all over XD Normally I try not to use it unless necessary. Recording always seems to mess things up =/ I wonder why that is... Good eye though :3 Haha, I remember looking to see it was up so high and switched it because it was lagging so bad and I'm like 'why the heck... ohhh..' haha!

[@kaiaowens6405]

What app do u use?!!!!!

[@Aukuroku]

You! I want your amazing art skills! Please! I love you and your art!

[@SterlingKato]

Haha I tend to tell my self 'lay off the details' a lot but I can't help it :I Especially when I get to the line work stage, haha! Thank you though :)

[@tigerpelt9136]

Three words..... A-maze-ing!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@maelieguichard7278]

Hello! I could now what pen do you use forme paint the lineart ? Thanks you :) (Sorry for my bad english.. T.T) I love your draw *-*

[@maelieguichard7278]

[@phillixmaxwell6664]

from the video you can tell they are using the default inkpen

[@SterlingKato]

As said, it's the default Ink pen

[@maelieguichard7278]

Sterling Kato Thanks you!! :)

[@kaiaowens6405]

I cant get paint tool sai to work and i have a microsoft windows eight

[@isabels.3564]

[@chochopsycho3263]

That must of taken a while xD

[@Dragonballzkia900352AJ]

Why do I wanna say that at 1:50 its Egyptian music? Don't mind me, I just love learning history along with drawing and such and watching clearance and videos xD

[@FelineClaws27]

[@sanderp9768]

I literally watched this video more then 4 times ._. no reason, as to why

[@arkawolf8677]

Wow i reeeeeaaaally love your drawing style! It's fantastic! but i think the video is a bit too long.. you should speed it up a little more, then it's perfect. :)

[@rebeccarhodes7260]

You mean 'PURRfect.' LOL!!

[@SterlingKato]

Thanks :) I had that one before and it kept locking up the computer, then I had Quick Screen Recorder which did the same thing :c but Hypercam seems to work just fine, I just have to activate it and it will get rid of the text on the screen :3 Thank you though~!

[@wingleaf9067]

impressive

[@nicoleosuna8713]

If I am allowed to draw him, I would put yopur signature on the drawing saying that you made him first and that you allowed me to draw him.

[@PireTea]

[@beefdelicious]

[@SterlingKato]

+Dena Farrar Nope, I haven't really read many 'Warriors' books to be honest. I read the first series ages ago but after that I stopped as I just lost interest.

[@jdkhubbard]

Shadedforest Of Streamclan yes it is.

[@SterlingKato]

Dena Farrar No it's not

[@silvermane67]

He looks like a murderous version of Tallstar lol

[@bluejaysymphony8374]

Was he born blind or made blind?

[@SterlingKato]

He was attacked and bitten on the head by rogue tomcats which caused his blindness and the loss of part of his ear. He's also slightly mentally unstable due to the injuries (not like mental, but more not quite all there heh).

[@brackenscorner2292]
