I don't trust any "miracle cure" for artists to improve their growth. Every time a new tutorial or technique gets trendy and everyone treats it like their savior, it just sounds like snake oil to me.

[@bisahnchen8727]

Absolutely 💀

[@ARivera-bs9dx]

I think the reason it’s seems to help people get better so quick just comes down to their skill level. Like beginner and early intermediate artist tend to improve in growth spurts so it would make sense that their results might exceed expectations. Climbing up the latter between early intermediate to intermediate and advanced is when your art tends to stagnate in terms of growth. Like if you don’t really know what your doing in terms of anatomy and rendering the tutorials might give you a jump start. Though if you have a more stylistic art style or more experience, the tutorials won’t do anything to help your growth.

[@Kasha-27]

[@ogurasyn2354]

Which makes me wonder, is Loomis method a scam or not?

[@SeleDreamsPerso]

@@ogurasyn2354 no. Loomis method is just a guideline meant to help.

[@OwlCity447]

what bothers me about young artists is that they're so hung up about having an "art style". What they should've been worried about is learning the basic principles and foundation of drawing. Sure, having an art style is nice, but actually knowing the rules of drawing is so much more valuable in the long run

[@ogurasyn2354]

I don't even know if my art IS an artstyle. Art is art for me and I don't see any reason to call it a style. I'd prefer an art process tbh

[@jayc7560]

Yeah honestly this. You can't stylize until you understand how something actually works and make the decision on how to render things. Styles aren't made in a vacuum, they're developed over time from study and knowledge. I didn't settle on a defined style for 10 years and even then it's still evolving.

[@macaroll]

​@@jayc7560 Ooh! Same! Kept changing art styles for the past 15 years now. But I think I finally settled on some, and that, I feel, is inner peace. At least for me.

[@just.a.cube.]

I’ve been learning the fundamentals of traditional painting for a few years now, and just through painting portraiture consistently I’ve started to develop a style, but a style based in the fundamentals

[@Catnapper8143]

i think xiaohongshu tutorials are virtually the same as any other tutorial but just chinese. i definitely improved after watching a few but a lot of things i already learnt from youtube.

[@tunmble]

[@RabbitBeanieOSC]

Yeah, they just look like average art tutorials with a few more things, yet people are recognizing it more but its from a chinese site??

[@mellym3ow]

It's just a different style? They do do certain things (e.g shading for anime style art) slightly different from what I've seen. Like every Asian country has their own slightly different comic art

Tutorials aint bad and yes it can change style but as long artists are happy with their improvement. People should not judge instead they knows it the artist choices not theirs. So they cant force artists not to improve or change. And those who pretend to be beginners take away space for actual beginners to rise.which is unfair.

[@MohammedAgbadi]

literally this. i can't tell you how much i improved after taking tons of tutorials. learning different things from each and then mixing and mashin everything together. i still learn from tutorials till this day. can't recommend them enough

[@OnionSketcher2]

@MohammedAgbadi thank you for responding to my opinion. I belive we should not push new artists to think take tutorials is cheating instead new artists should take tutorials without being hated on

[@SeleDreamsPerso]

@@MohammedAgbadi I'd say, one flaw of tutorials is that they often push to do thing "one specific way" and people tend to follow them to the letter thinking "that's how it must be done". I think it's better to follow tutorials more liberally, to see the interesting concepts from them, but to not hesitate to deviate from them if we feel like we have a better idea to achieve a result.

[@hazymoon7516]

Native Chinese speaker here. I've seen the art shorts on XHS, and most don't claim to be anything more than art tutorials. The original posters themselves don't usually claim you'll be "suddenly successful". most are just trying to calm new artists down by showing them their own way of drawing something to demonstrate that it's not as hard as beginners think. It's worth noting that it's all in Chinese because ALL western social media is banned in China, so they've made their own versions of practically everything. It's not a "red flag" for being all in Chinese, it was just made for a closed market and is intended to be available overseas for Chinese immigrants & study-abroad students.

[@LouuiZe]

Xiaohongshu artists are basically artists who have actually learned the full fundementals, the fundementals that beginners HAVEN'T thought of learning which is the actual problem.

[@floof7680]

I absolutely hate the fake improvement thing also kinda off topic but does anyone else see all the shorts of people having captions saying “support 11-13 yer old artist” and feel like there may be some faking because of all these trends like the “pretending im bad at drawing to suprise people”

[@lucasdude]

yes when i was about 17 i knew someone who pretended to be 14 who was actually 19 lol because their artistic ability was a lot more impressive if they convinced people they were a child. this was before social media, when artists were drawing/posting on oekaki boards (basically, a browser-based art program & forum). ive seen plenty of instances of it since then too. true, some kids can be extremely talented, but there are people that lie about their age for more engagement.

[@floof7680]

@ yup and when you question it your “against young artists “

[@Marzi_Mello]

I mean, Xiaohongshu is never going to be the end all be all. I use it to try to draw in a manhwa or manhua artstyle because it really appeals to me. While the art tutorials have helped me, I think it's just a good way to get the foot in the door. It tries to make you think differently when drawing. The tiktoks faking improvement is NUTS though. Thats like going on pinterest for 5 minutes and then feeling like you can draw everything 🤣 Im so glad you covered this.

[@waxsunset4037]

[@marybewary771]

It’s because they’re lying girlie❤it also used to be a trend back then to draw really badly then pretend you had major improvement in less than a week, it’s just that trend again but with Xiao Hong Shu

[@lucasdude]

tiktok is waayyyy too obsessed with art style. art style is something that just comes naturally & this constant focus on it can cause stagnation. if you focus on the fundamentals instead, youll improve so much faster & wont be absorbing the mistakes that these artist peer tutorials have. i dont understand whats so boring about drawing from life especially, because even the most mundane things can be beautiful.. grass growing out from asphalt, a puddle after rain, sunlight filtering through trees, light reflecting off of a glass bottle, people just going about their day. there is beauty & inspiration to be found in everything.

[@shandya]

I think some people on the internet glorify "unique artstyle" too much, especially if they're coming from beginner artists. Because when I see them, imo their "unique artstyle" is just bad drawing, bad understanding of anatomy, or bad rendering technique. Before breaking the rules, you should learn the rules. And these online tutorials are just one of many vehicles to do that. I mean, nobody ever says someone who is learning master studies "losing their artstyle", right. What's the differences? Let new artists explore artstyles, sooner or later they will settle down to their own uniqueness, eventually.

This video has just made me even more glad I never downloaded tiktok. Unfortunately or fortunately, there are no "quick fixes" that will bring lasting and meaningful progress to an artists' skills. That's just how it is. I don't know who needs to hear this, but you're ALLOWED to take it slow, to mess up with your art, to make mistakes. It's completely fine and normal and an integral part of the learning process. It'll suck at times for sure, but keep going and keep creating and with time, you will refine your craft more and more. As for artstyles, I personally have given up on finding an art style. It's really not necessary for my own art so why stress myself out? Plus, I think it's kinda cool to be able to draw in multiple different styles. Whatever style conveys the message I'm trying to get across is the one that I'll use, no sense boxing myself in!

[@CrumbisBumbis]

[@CeleryCarrots]

@1:45 Sometimes, the dumb stuff we see on tiktok is on purpose.

I feel like some of the xiaohongshu tiktoks were ads, and the rest were just memeing

[@ShadzLeftArmInhibitorRing]

I feel like something thats being overlooked is when people say "unique artstyles" its usually about art styles inspired by western cartoons. I mean theres probably a lot of americans posting about these tutorials from a chinese app, everywhere around the world is going to see a certain style of art more than other places and anime is popular there while most of us americans grew up with shows like total drama island and when you said "I like anime" you were deemed weird. At the end of the day if someone doesnt want to draw western media inspired art then thats THEIR choice, not the publics :P

[@NoName12344o]

6:09 i love long hair, and like the after more because it looksmore soft and less animeish c: but the. Before is good too, nist not my taste. So actually doesn't matter what I or others think, as long as the artist has fun, they'll learn something from the tutorial and will mix those style probably in the future

[@StayArtsy]

4:14 for this tiktok, it might be a play on that old trend where they showed their new art first and be like "my old awful art before art school" and then show their old art and be like "my art after art school" kinda thing..

Guys please believe me and hear me out…. I actually learned so much from xiaohongshu and i use eyes and hair tutorial on my art PLEASEEEE DONT JUMP ME, IT HELPED ME FIND MY STYLE

[@BleuDreamArt]

There is a really weird trend in art that I've seen that vilifies criticism (even if the artist asked for it) and disliking any kind of "improvement" on the basis that art is subjective. I feel like a lot of these people forget that a lot of the time, the artwork an artist puts out (especially a beginner) is not what the artist wants it to look like. To say that a shift in style, better application of anatomy, and the like is a "loss of charm" is soooooooooooooooooooooo destructive. especially if the new stuff is closer to what they see in their heads.

[@Nonn0n]

I'm patiently waiting for them to recycle the "clipstudio pen asset will improve your art" lie that us artists believe. 😂

[@RecreationalDrone-o5n]

speaking as a trained artist (9 years of art school in total), studying basics is important, yes. But in my opinion, if you start of learning art, do not bother with that. Do not start off with studying anatomy and all that. Start drawing exactly what you want. If that is following the mentioned tutorials in the video? Do that! Draw what ever you want. Find something you love drawing and draw as much as you want. Don't force yourself to do studies or draw every day. Draw in the way that is fun to you so you start enjoying drawing and get used to the medium you enjoy and THEN start working on what you found out interests you. Like drawing headshots? Practice that. Like drawing animals? Practice that.

[@sugekomeno7370]

thats why learning the fundamentals is a must for every beginner artist, if you cannot understand the basics of the subject you are trying to draw, even if its rendered and looks pretty, it will end up looking wonky because you haven't grapsed the full concept of the goal you have in mind. just keep practicing and studying anatomy, colour theory, etc, i won't say its easy because nobody is the same but instead i'll say it's fairly simple once you've got the grasp of it all. it will take a while but in the end you will achieve your dream if you continue to persevere 🎉👆

[@bobspldbckwrds]

As soon as I saw the after on the first video, I called b.s. there were too many individual skills that they had improved in between them with no time to consider how to incorporate them into their art style, or even what precedence to give them. People need to stop looking for panacea solutions to problems we already know the solution to. Your art gets better when you become a more skilled artist, and when you practice. You also have to make as many bad pieces of art as you can, because those mistakes you make when you are pushing your limits are what teach you what to do when you want to make something big and good.

well i don’t really think it’s xhs’ problem since now everyone is like “xhs didn’t help me :((“ “xhs is -blah blah blah” when the tutorials aren’t working for them, the tutorials are just to give you useful tips mostly(in my opinion) plus the artist making their tutorials, mostly it’s in their own art style so if you “copy” the tutorial fully then it’s just the artists’ art style, so i don’t blame xhs or any of the artists on there

[@jackpijjin4088]

My only problem with following art tutorials is that a lot of the time, an artist will try to imitate the art they're learning from 100% rather than learning the techniques that were used in the tutorial. Like those "how to draw " tutorials you get as a kid; they teach you how to draw one character in one pose, but not how to adapt the techniques of finding shapes in what you see and applying perspective and foreshortening or whatever else... So really it's a good place to *start* but too often the learning artist takes it as the end-all-be-all.

4:07 I think old art is more unique but is messier. The new one is cleaner but more basic and "boring"

[@silly_littolboy]

I personally try to copy as much as i can as i study and train my art, once i understand how it works i shape it into my own style and go from there, that mostly being the reason my art style is always changing and modifying along the time

So... The tutorial at 8:41 genuinely just helped me sm 😭 But about the actual topic of the vid, Beginners should focus on learning the basics of anatomy and color instead of trying to perfect a specific style. Having an art style is good but it's something that'll happen naturally after you learn the rules and slowly start breaking them when perfecting your version of stylization I've seen a couple Xiaohongshu tuts that have helped me improve esp in rendering hair and ik they're really handy, but a beginner starting off with them will run into a lot of problems along the line.

Bro artists are so hateful for no reason on tiktok.

I thought Xiaohongshu was a youtuber

[@frying_pann7076]

LMAO

7:29 My art style is inspired by demon slayer and semi realism! I don’t ever stick to one tutorial or teacher, I make sure to keep consuming content from artists. As to, keep a unique style😄

Just from the few clips I saw from the video about what the tips from xioahongshu, it definitely proves that some who was literally a beginner that jump to knowing some basic anatomy is too good to be true. It definitely looks like you’ll atleast need to know some background knowledge before proceeding with those tutorials or it might end up with a fail attempt or really just copy and paste.

I literally had a rednote ad watching this xd

[@HengSokleap-e3t]

Help i got an Xiaohongshu ad the moment i watch this video😢

[@floralsweetheartluna]

Am I the only one who thinks this is just a joke and a trend and no one should take it that seriously.. It's clearly playing on people who only speak about Xiaohongshu and make their own tutorials based on ones on the site, or say that their style has inproved only from there. Let me be honest I think that people complaining about this or taking it way too deep and way too seriously, when I think it's just an irony of people milking out the app
