DON’T DRAW LINE ART, if you’re struggling with it 😭

[@pillow7254]

This has to be the most convenient timing as I was just struggling with my line art practice

[@dirtyfranku]

Me too, and i enjoy just painting then adding lines

[@mindandbody7971]

Shape sculpting is definitely easier on my "perfectionism dis ease". Thank you for the reminder.

[@mari_rita]

For me, I gave up on line art long ago and realized that my digital paintings looked a lot better without it. But i still draw a decent sketch and lower the opacity by a lot, then paint in the layers under the sketch

[@lucas.nadler]

For early students, before painting directly with shapes, it's important to improve your knowledge of form and perspective, especially if you're struggling with drawing (not line art), don't skip it ✨

[@SavMortem]

I almost entirely ditched line art a couple years ago and it clicked so much better! For the longest time I thought it was something I was supposed to do. I didn't enjoy it and it didn't look right to me finished and after pulling away from it I prefer my process 😁 I still love line art in other people's work and styles but it just wasn't worth it for me. I still have a lot to learn and seeing your process broken down is helpful, thank you!

[@Tanalieku]

You're so welcome 😀

[@Happy2BHere]

I’m actually very good at lineart, but I’ve realized through painting, you can actually improve your lineart. The lines you create essentially reflect how you perceive the shapes of a form.

[@mamposteria]

Precisely! My lineart improved Greatly after I abandoned making lined sketches and pieces and laying out the shapes first. The lines bring emphasis to the existing shapes

[@NickGuy0320]

Painting and drawing are both about 3 things Line quality Shape design Edge control You can try to skip one but it will show where you’re lacking in the final product, they are all related and interact with each other

[@Beanimus]

You don't understand how much I was searching for a video like this thank you so much!! Also nice ad transition lol

[@Raven5563]

This was very reassuring, as I've discovered that I tend to work with shape first, line last-- after discovering silhouette shapecarving as an approach to concept art. That approach took over everything! Thank you for an inspirational video!

[@darksideofthemood]

Just got into drawing, spent DAYS trying the looming method and ended up literally crying over my ipad. Feeling worthless. This video is so sweet, i'll be happy to try this. THANK YOU

[@david2b4u]

holy moly this is mana from the heavens THANK YOU

[@kkko5]

Finally i can call my laziness as a ✨ alternate approach ✨ Great video tho❤

[@Tanalieku]

Yeaaaah, thank you ❤️

[@santanu-fr]

I absolutely hate doing lineart because it never felt like art rather like data entry. By lineart here I mean the excessive cleaning up part before flatting

[@anversailles]

Personally think this approach is a lot easier when you already have a reference or make one via 3D or photograph, I find it much harder to do this without one, since most painting classes already have a model or something you study from. I tend to just draw from imagination and paint underneath if I want something painterly, which has led to results I'm happier with.

[@TheGreatMalefic]

Thank you very much for this video! Much appreciated as I intend to paint without any line work in ther future! Even the first 20 seconds were already that good that I immediately pressed the like button!

[@Tanalieku]

Thank you 🙏❤️ Glad you enjoyed it!

[@Nkanyiso_K]

Thanks for the reminder, I used to make a lot of art but I stopped because I got hurt (tendinitis) so it hurt to draw for a long time & I was very discouraged but I love painting so I can't wait to paint more like I used to

[@houskatt8130]

This is was so wholesome. Thanks for the clarity.

[@carlos_h_dias]

- usar brushs chapados - trabalhar bem os shapes - usar uma referencia de estilo pra seguir

[@trentunderwood7072]

Thank you so much! I started the skillshare free trial, so hopefully ill find some quick improvement!

[@thesimplified3878]

I honestly love working directly with shapes

[@nutmeg7786]

Your work is absolutely gorgeous!!🤩

[@Tanalieku]

Thank you so much ☺️

[@M1uzzz_]

This video literally saved me! ❤

[@franciscofeest6691]

I just use line art for sketching. I rarely show lineart in final rendering. It's just not my style.

[@sabritoness]

this is the most amazing advice I have ever gottwn

[@Pearlflower1]

lineart is work with paper media but for the life of me , i can not used it for digital , there times when the line art is the reason i abandoned multiple work because of the mood and the prep for it just too much time consuming, but at the end you just seeing a hint 5% of it

[@iAmNothingness]

WHAD DU YU MEEEEEAN, Lineart is love, Lineart is LIIIFE

[@ThedGrill]

haha I absolutly recommend even for Anime Artists to try out the Leyendecker methode. Yes I am an Anime artist and I have the best time in my life drawing things by shape and then basically sculpting out shapes. Do I sometimes add lines to seperate things? Yes but u can always make them blurry so they are not that visible and it helps a lot. Great video :D Funniest thing to me was to find out that there was already an artist in the past using no lines while painting these great and stunning artworks.

[@cheyenne8432]

your work is always inspiring !!! hoping to use this method in the future I definitely needed to hear this !!

[@Tanalieku]

Thank you so much!! ☺️

[@cheyenne8432]

@@Tanalieku of course !! :D

[@DaltonPietersen]

I agree with this, i also skip the line art step. Often the line arts design just becomes a prison for the creativity i want to put into the final result. I feel much more comfortable starting with 2 or 3 colours. I then start carving out shapes until im pleased.

[@fred68109]

Loved this video!🎉

[@randy5613]

i draw with line art but when I render with it in semirealism my art turn flat like the edges looks like it was a cardboard stand

[@spacetaco048]

wait so can I do line art in the end if I feel like it? Or will it ruin it?

[@Nsquare_01]

Me who can do line art but struggles A LOT in the coloring process

[@k.edwin.g]

U truly inspire me thx❤❤

[@Tanalieku]

I'm so glad!! ❤️❤️

[@warlocke4285]

Love the look of lines, but despise making the lineart like me? Lay down your base colors and turn on the border effect. Render as normal, and then just add any lines in areas where you need them.

[@user-fo1cu6cn2d]

How to stop opacity from building up?

[@Loafism]

I cant draw this good at all either. Lineart and this style looks so bad when I draw it I wanna quit now thanks

[@beetlejuss]

Did you went straight into colored shapes without delving into B&W?

[@danishdynamite2638]

hi thx for the tips ❤ I wanted to ask,what is the app that u use next to procreate to put all the reference together?it would be really helpful i hope youre having a great day !

[@Luexeme92]

Would you every consider creating a course or patreon teaching your techniques? I'd be the first person to sign up!

[@Tanalieku]

That’s the plan. Thank you!!

[@katm8128]

Thank you. While I love using lines if I’m trying to approach a different style, I find that most of the time, I do better without. P.s. I love your style. Do you use a brush/line stabilizer for such smoothness?

[@Tanalieku]

Thank you!! Yes, I use a stabilizer, set to around 20%.

[@cosmiccove4149]

What app do you use to view your references while using procreate?

[@maddie-wq8lp]

whats the 3d model website/app you use at 5:36? thank you sm for this video you inspire me so much

[@Tanalieku]

It’s the Magic Poser app. You’re welcome ☺️

[@Numbll]

how did you add multiple references at the side?

[@shishandry]

я то думаю что с вашим англиским не так, а я ваше видео вчера на русском смотрела

[@pringrings22]

So the brush set you linked has Procreate brushes too? Granted I also have CSP EX so Photoshop Brushes can be imported to CSP

[@pringrings22]

Nevermind, I figured it out! .abr files can be imported into Procreate!!???!!!??!?!?!?! I legit just dragged and dropped it into there and it has them in there to use as brushes...

[@AlexConLeche]

I feel seen 🥹

[@whossam7675]

your arstyle starting to look like valorant's

[@GrapeTesting101]

Bad advice. It's just gonna make people use painting as a crutch and run away from fundies.

[@ariellaplays407]

Dont draw line art! Easy, you will get 0 jobs😂😂😂

[@venus7973]

does the Su Ke Brushpack set work for procreate? @tanalieku

[@Tanalieku]

Yes, it does! 😊
