do yall want a vod for phone users? 😳

Yass! I need it:( my dumb brain desperately needs it:( Also the drawings🤚😩😍 im in a simp comaaaaaaa💜😌

Yes pleaseee! I'm sadly a cheapskate so I'm trying to use MediBang Paint but it slows my phone down and drains the battery.

Yes please !

It’s honestly refreshing to be watching an art tutorial mixed with jokes here and there Hearing jokes about the shared suffering we all have as artists makes practice less agonizing HAHAH Thank you for sharing your knowledge my g

[@bhumikasharma3443]

Here are Some of koolen's tips you will hear in all of her videos 👀 1. Eyes are one eye apart 2. Take a reference( in other words cheat) 3. Draw only attractive people 4. Make the lips 'juicy' :')

[@Khann_2102]

What does that first point mean? Sorry my English is bad

[@strawberryzombie5474]

@@Khann_2102 when drawing the eyes. You pretend there is an eye in the middle, on top where the nose is so both the eyes when you draw are even and look better than having both of the eyes too close together. Sorry I tried to explain. (ˊ̥̥̥̥̥ ³ ˋ̥̥̥̥̥) Im pretty sure Koleen has a video about it and would explain it better (๑•̥̥̥́ω•̀ू๑)

[@Miguelrirez-ne6kq]

tip I learned, if you can’t get the eyes to look set in the head (especially matching one eye) tilt the one eye towards the center, this way the one eye looks set inside the skull according to the planes of the face etc

[@sour.creamandonion]

using references isn’t cheating…

[@Khann_2102]

@@strawberryzombie5474 Thanks

[@bowtieteddy]

For Medibang users! The "Lasso Fill" tool in Medibang is a brush called "Fill" and it works pretty much the same way. Hope that helps! Edit: there are a few asking about what tool it is in other art programs. Unfortunately, I don't know. Sorry!

[@lynxxlynxx]

I think I commented on this somewhere before, but for me there is no cheating in art. I realized this very early on when I was working on an art project at my school and visitors came up to me and saw me using Scotch tape on my acrylic painting to get sharp edges. They looked at me stupidly and asked if that was allowed. And at that moment, it "clicked." I hadn't even thought about whether that was cheating and that's when I realized that you should never do that. In art you do what you enjoy and you can take the easiest way to reach your goal. You want to express yourself and the way there is also part of your expression.

[@animegurlmbp]

I use Krita for everything but I have used Clip Studio in 2020. The importing a pose from an image was so fun to use. And from now on I will in fact be calling Goten and Trunks "Lasso Tool and Paint Bucket".

I swear you're vids are funny and helpful at the same time! ✨

[@sunakochan5585]

I was literally watching this vid at 5 am in the morning and my whole family was asleep, I tried SO HARD not to make a sound during the liquify tool part (7:03).😆I honestly love how she teaches us stuff while being extremely funny at the same time.

[@catsinni]

I'm literally making a piece after a hiatus for 2 years, and then Koleen posts this. I feel dumb but thanks to this I learned a lot. ;w;

Nice! Gonna be using that color palette trick from now on, I usually adjust the overall image in the color balance option which is very late in the process lol.

Thanks for the tutorials they rlly help

[@otaku-chan4888]

if you're on an ipad, get Procreate!! hands down the best drawing app on ios devices, it's just a one time 10$ fee for a program that's on par with Photoshop and clip studio

[@noface1184]

i would agree with otaku-chan, procreate is super user friendly and everything is shaved down so you're not overwhelmed and can just focus on learning and getting comfy with that. there's also toooooons of tutorials so that's nice too, then when you are comfortable and confident you can choose another program with stronger features to go wild in.

[@hutao5481]

I agree with the past 2 on procreate, although if it's an app you dont want to spend money on you should stick to ibis paint.

[@leeknow250]

tysm guys (I can't buy procreate anyways lmao)

Moving the anchor like a joint!?? WHAT?? That's cool! Kinda looks like an automatic stand, waving.

[@elina3734]

Hi Kooleen! I just wanted to say thank you for being so beginner friendly! I’m in the beginning of my digital art(and art in general having done only sketches on paper before) journey and have watched a lot of ‘teaching da for beginners’ videos but i’ve always felt like I can’t apply their advice to my art because of lack of any formal education in art. I’ve always felt like in order to draw I have to know something I don’t and I couldn’t even tell what it was. But once I’ve stumbled upon your channel my art has become so much better. You encouraged me to switch from paint tool sai to csp and I finished my first digital illustration the day I downloaded csp using the brushes you recommended ( I’ve never finished my illustrations before because midway I didn’t like how it was turning out and it demotivated me to finish it). Thank you for making digital art world look less dense and hostile.❤️

[@isavivith]

[@mediocremarla2584]

loll her distorting eren's face while calmy explaining the liquify tool had me laughing so hard, like the smirk caught me off guard fr xD i love this vid

[@NekoHiroSan8643]

Even though I don't have CSP, even though I wanna use it but my family's PC can't handle it, even though I don't have the guts to try a new art program, I still watch this video to remind myself of my suffering.

[@strawbrykeik]

THE FIRST ONE. I REALLY NEEDED THAT WTFFF

[@amirtheartist]

Wait so I thought the Instagram post size was 1080 by 1080. How exactly are those dimensions you mentioned better for posting on Instagram? I always just make a large 2000 x 2000 px canvas and then size the canvas down to the Instagram post size (or Twitter, etc) and then post it like that. But it's admittedly tedious and I might be too dumb to realize a smarter way to do it lol.

[@Kooleen]

instagram automatically crops ur photo into a square, but there's this button that lets you maintain the size (if its not too big)

[@knightshade3803]

The tips are really helpful but I got stuck on the enclose and fill tool. I followed the instructions and it only changed the linearts color. Not filling the area I wanted. Help anyone?

[@LouchanArt]

Maybe it can be because you're on the lineart layer? You should move to the color layer you've just created

[@knightshade3803]

@@LouchanArt i did, i made the line art into a reference layer but all it did was follow and fill the lineart under

[@LordTchernobog]

@@knightshade3803 same shit. Albeit I used 2 layers to fill 1-1 areas I wanted to fill. And not 100% fills smh, if there's some gap as well.

[@karlamichelle4946]

I honestly never grab a pencil and drew anything before in my life but after watching Kooleans videos im so tempted to grab my wabcom tablet and create something even thought I may suck at it since I never drawn before

[@karlamichelle4946]

okay so bough me a sketchbook book and been drawing for about a month now and I honestly can say it is so much fun but only when you don't get frustrated

[@SprayNpreyT]

I used a super huge canvas but really zoom out and is a 10/10 experience yes. Good tips thanks!

[@cocoacat.pngggg]

1:17 what about for ipads

[@ComfyCherry]

the grey bg one is also just nice for your eyes, staring at a mostly white canvas while you're drawing will tire your eyes out faster so if you just wanna relax and sketch smth up grey is much nicer to stare at than pure white

[@Xoannon1]

[@mr.say...4864]

7:29 Wtf? xd?

[@Bebe-rn2fh]

Ooooh your art coloring style is quite similar to mine Anyway I use ~900-1000px canvas size cuz it’s easier to blend. my biggest art tip i have for yall is for ppl who can’t draw hands: Always draw hands bigger than they are supposed to be. it just looks so much better i promise lol also, use the blur tool. i used to hate using the blur tool to paint and blend, but now i love it. i used to use like 30 brushes in a piece but now I use 1 brush. And I use the blur tool for blending. It depends on ur style but don’t ever underestimate the power of blurring lol. also if you’re lazy, when you’re rendering, lower the opacity of the brush to around 50%. AND LEARN THE BASIC COLOR THEORY LOL DONT MAKE UR ART LOOK MUDDY AND ICKY And yes pls use the liquify tool it is a life saver

[@arrgber]

That first tip alone made me subscribe to the channel lol, it's so simple but I've never seen anyone do it before!

[@sharvashetye6822]

My life was a lie until Kooleen came into my recommendations and I've never been this good at digital art before.

[@Raven5563]

Thank you so much for these tips. You're a real life-saver. I had no idea about the anchor point for the transform tool, or using keys with it. I loved the tips on palette, and using a background color helped a lot. I love using the lasso tool to fill, but I didn't know about enclose and fill. Off to go get it! It'll teach me to remember to keep my lineart layer separate from now on. Again, many thanks! Smile 😊 .

[@thenimbus_cloud6572]

I have to mention the whole Goten and Trunks fusing. This made the video at least 9001 times better ;)

I love you and I would die for you. I don't know how many "art tutorials" have I watched so far where out of the 20 mins runtime, around 15 was vague stuff like "age doesn't matter" "your art will suck and that's alright" "practice makes perfect". In less than 10 minutes you showcased multiple features in CSP I was dying to know (and were frequently used in other "tutorials" but never explained), provided step by step explanation and timestamps for later use. If you were a restaurant, I would give 5 stars and would bully my friends to go there as well and tip the waiters
