edit:
hii guys i know my vid is "things i wish i knew before starting to draw traditionally"
but the whole vid is just tips that I learnt through out the years on what works best in drawing traditionally.
Here's some insight that i forgot to include in my video lol:
(you can also considered it as a summary of the whole vid lol)
1) I used to have an issue with pencils because sketching was always so difficult. but using different types of pencils, using a kneaded eraser and even using an electric eraser helped me so much with my sketches and kept them clean and perfect for any art medium i wanted to put.
2) using colored pens and pencils just gives a very nice look into your art. I'm a sucker for colorful things and doing that tip made it so much better for me.
3) using random erasers always screwed my sketches, is just better to stick with a good eraser brand than using a shitty eraser.
4) adding weight to your lineart makes the whole artwork so much better, everytime i added it into my drawings it looked so amazing
5) this is just something i learnt from using markers, getting copic was always super hard to get specially when they are incredibly expensive. I learnt that by mixing brands its not worth getting a copic set of every color, mixing with different brands do the exact same trick and its less expensive.
6) color swatching is so helpful, its such a waste of time trying out the color u want to use. having a color swatch makes u visualize the artwork better.
7) i have a horrible habit of throwing away my art (i still do) the best thing that u could do is cover it up with a stickynote and try your best to still keep your old/bad art :,3 you never know when you want to look back and redraw it or see your art process through the years
8) outlines is such a nice touch lol

This one is really silly But if you're struggling to even get SOMETHING on a page, a thing that works for me is getting an exaggerated Pinterest reference pose and try to make the pose with a highlighter! Then freehand the drawing with colorful pens or normal black pens for line art. When you color the drawing the highlighter you use will act like (well a highlight) and make your silly doodles look very eye candy.

[@tomokokyun]

I ACTUALLY DO THAT A LOT AHAHAH VERY GOOD TIP!!!

[@GAL-CAKE]

@@tomokokyun YAYAA!! ITS SO MUCH FUN!! Btw your artstyle is so freaking gorgeous and adorable dude!! I genuinely learned so much! ٩ ˊᗜˋ🌸🌸🌸

[@tomokokyun]

@@GAL-CAKE THANK YOUUU that means so much to meee :3 💕💕

[@Spiderbiterz]

I've always been a digital artist, ever since i started art, but thank you so much for the advice :33 i hope it helps people who do traditional art 🫶🫶

[@tomokokyun]

NEXT VIDEO IS ACTUALLY GOING TO BE DIGITAL ART EDITION!!! i cant wait to make that one but i need to prioritize artist alley since its my first time

[@Spiderbiterz]

@@tomokokyun oh awesome!!! :D

[@ThePortjumper]

Your art style is awesome, i'd love to see a sketchbook tour in the future. Also, you're really funny.

[@tomokokyun]

THATS SO SWEET OF YOU 😭 THANK YOU 💕💕💕 ngl i thought in this whole video i was gonna sound super boring af .. SO NICE THAT IT MADE U CHUCKLE AHHAGSH

[@raedew]

this is genuinely live saving for me, I had no idea THERE WAS DIFFERENT TYPES OF ERASERS...

[@tomokokyun]

YEAP they are amazing to work with :)

[@Tyhond]

Very cute video! ^-^ It's so underrated!

[@tomokokyun]

THANK YOU HEHEH

[@kadyn9804]

I’ve never seen anyone hold a pencil like that 2:25 but tbh it looks more comfortable than how I hold it

[@tomokokyun]

LMFAO I KNEW SOMEONE WAS GONNA MENTION THAT HAHA it is comfortable but if you do a circle motion holding the pen like that it does hurt and it is a bit uncomfortable 😭 i wouldn’t recommend holding it like that and instead holding it like it should be or as a fist since its less complicated and carpel tunnel is way worse holding the pen like that 💔

[@kakukat_lucky1137]

Your art style is so cute! And this video was so entertaining and informative. Thank you for the info!

[@tomokokyun]

THANK YOU!! im glad you learned something from it!!

Just subscribed. Great channel! I love pen and paper drawings!

[@rotten_olives]

so surprised when i see the channel’s subscriber count! i know this channel will be really well known one day! goodluck on this channel! the quality is already amazing!

[@tomokokyun]

THATS SO SWEET THANK YOU!!! i tried to be as detailed as possible cuz now days ppl just slap a speedpaint and do a voice over.. personally i feel like its a very lazy type of content and it doesn't give anything entertaining to watch and doesn't show visual examples of what the video is talking about. so im glad i did a great work!! it definitely took some time since most of it was from scratch.

[@Mangosita-Magic]

I loved this video and your oc is adorable 💓✨️ Some of those things are seriously so RELATABLE

[@kayay_luv9114]

so good!

[@tomokokyun]

Thank you!!

[@DumbestIntelligence]

Actually you can clean a kneaded. there's lots of tutorials on how to do it. but bathing your eraser doesn't need to be done frequently as it is capable of holding a lot

[@tomokokyun]

oo i should try that!! thank you!!! :D

[@moon908]

Ty for the tips!

[@tomokokyun]

Happy to help!

[@stoneblockone8724]

Can you do a video on how you learned how to draw? Do you use reference when you draw? I like the channel! I can see this growing in the future!

[@tomokokyun]

For sure!! Although the way i learnt was mostly by studying other artists art style’s and Frankenstein it 😅

[@stoneblockone8724]

@@tomokokyun word! That’s what have been doing too! I just get in my head sometimes because I see such cool art and assume that everyone just does it from imagination even though that’s not the case at all. Thanks for the response :)

[@tomokokyun]

@@stoneblockone8724 yeah no 😭 almost nothing is original sadly... i think the most original you can be is when you're a complete beginner and dont care how you draw tbh

[@tomokokyun]

@@stoneblockone8724 i really recommend you surround yourself with art related content that usually makes you very motivated into drawing! such as twitter, instagram maybe tiktok and the best place pinterest although i have heard some ppl have gotten AI in their feeds (not me thankfully HAHA) but yea only follow artist and consume everyone's work it gives a huge boost into "i should be drawing too!' type of mindset

[@CodeSSG_28]

Me as a traditional artist that only use HB and a common eraser and bootleg crayons🧍🏾‍♀️

[@tomokokyun]

Thats crazy 😭 HB pencils are one of the worst to draw imo its feels too scratchy to draw LOL

i need this helpful information

[@melodicberryxz]

I discovered u could just use kneaded blue tack instead of kneaded erasers, but idk if there is a big difference

Honestly i have no clue LOL

Ummmm i think i have but that was so long ago i barely remember if its good or not tbh

What are these cool glitter-gel pens?? Where can I get those (/what brand is it)? :0 Everytime I got some they either died immediately or were trash quality T.T

honestly any glitter pens are fine tbh but the best glitter pens imo are gellyroll sakura pens :3

I’m confused about the sticky note point

[@tomokokyun]

@@creatureoflegend2635 basically instead of ripping your sketchbook or throwing away the drawing u just made, is better to cover it up with a stickynote and try to fix it again :,) is like a second chance.

wow very cute channel
