I struggle a lot with scketching and feeling insecure about my anatomy knowledge. Watching you use references of anatomy tutorials makes me realize that it's okay to go back to the basics even if you have already drawn the same thing 100 times.
That's true! I have so many neglected and dropped, unfinished sketches which just look bad, but i am not attached to them, so I quickly move on from one to another until something is to my liking :)
when jazz musicians practice, say a lick they would practice that lick in every key until they can play comfortably thus remembering it, then they practice knowing where to play that in real songs there is no guess work it's all been practised probably thousands of times, then they could probably change it how ever they want, it this is true the more things you remember that way when you study enough to have a good solid understanding you find yourself being able to know where things are in perspective
samee bc when I try to draw anatomy, torso turns out very short and the character looks very short lol (the legs are much longer than the torso in my art or sometimes legs are shorter than the torso and it just looks bad)
There’s this large misconception that you shouldn’t use reference or is frown upon. In a production environment you will use any means necessary to get the job done. Photo bashing, scans, personal photos it’s all fair game. The client will not care. So use what ever is needed to get you to improve. I work in games and have done art and design and I spend hours looking for the right reference for what I need. Now that I’m in design I’ll spend days and sometimes weeks gathering ref. For buildings, interiors, exteriors, it’s all ref. based. So don’t let people shame you during you growth.
A cool thing to do for less rigid images is like, before even putting your forms/anatomy in place, thinking of "the flow" "direction" and "focus point" of your image. Avoid pure straight lines for the skeleton/body, bend them a bit in direction of the flow- it's about combining gesture with anatomy I guess I could say !
I always gotta remember to study, study, study. Anatomy, perspective, foreshortening etc if I want to get better. And it's nice to know that it's never a bad idea to keep many anatomy references nearby, even if I think I understood some parts of it.
Yeah same. When I first started Art last year and this year, I had no knowledge of Anatomy except head, hand, and legs anatomy. I didn’t really think much of Anatomy until I started to think, “You know if I ever want to draw a full body portrait, I might need to practice and study anatomy.”
You... Have absolutely no idea just how helpful these are. You are going to be the person (one of the three) I copy (not trace nor post!) their art style as a part of my 1 year Marc brunet's curriculum. I love your work sm, and it's so impressive that you're self taught
Your channel is really informative and unlike other influencers it's more open to sharing knowledge, Thank you for your hardwork! Truly deserve more support ly 💗
Thank you so much, I always struggle with sketching because I always have this mindset of 'perfect looking sketch' but you reminded me of something important that I forgot: it doesn't have to look perfect, just move to another sketch until you find one you like. ♡♡♡♡
I never thought I needed this 😂 The way you connect the neck and shoulders to the ribs/upper torso makes it look really… understandable. like at 8:24 I know what’s going on with the body and the planes/sides? are well defined and would make shading a long easier… also would make drawing the pose so much easier… Really helpful, I might be finally able to draw more interesting/dynamic poses without it looking like they dislocated their shoulder :D
I know this is just really really rough and just inspired by realistic anatomy but sometimes you don't need more to be able to draw a character. Sometimes trying to include too much actual anatomy with muscles and bones isn't helpful at all and makes a pose stiff, so i rather follow a smooth and aesthetic looking form than how it should be ^^' Thanks a lot for your comment!
I'm such a huge fan of your art, and have been for awhile. I always wanted you to make more tutorials, and when you do, it's super helpful and stuff I haven't seen before. I've seen artists saying to reference, but learning how you reference and explaining your process such as how u do the head, it's just so helpful beyond many levels. I consider you a amazing artist so learning from someone like you. And how you do your work is priceless information for any artist I would say who goes down this path.
Oh wow, this comment makes me extremely happy, thank you so much for letting me know and sharing this with me. It keeps me motivated for sure. I am wishing you the best of success :)
Thanks so much for this video! I realize that my sketching still needs a lot of work! I use a ton of references but I think they focus too much on poses. I need more that focus specifically on the anatomical features that are lacking. Clothes also especially give me so much trouble~
Thank you so much for the guide! I always feel insecure in my sketches recently, having a hard time as I constantly wonder how do I go about a certain part. Will definitely keep rewatching this whenever I feel lost, thank you for teaching us so many things!
I love this so much thank you for sharing your brainstorming/sketching process. Not many artist to, it’s comforting to see that even the most talented artist like yourself start off with simple shapes to get the idea down. Ive been struggling obsessing over getting the sketch to look clean, but this helped me realize a sketch is meant to serve as the base, that i have to move on.. thank you so much.
Thank you so much Kuro. I've been watching your process lately and it actually got me approve a lot! Please keep it up and I would like to learn more process from you
this is amazing. I always get artblock as soon as my pen touches the tablet screen. Seeing this makes me realize I don't have to stick to one thing, and to not get hung up on one drawing (I see lots of artists draw something then immediately erase it because it wasn't what they were going for and that confused me a lot until I saw this video.)
the way you explain things are so easy to understand and im able to incorporate your ideas into my art while still maintaining my own style. sketching and lineart are usually the hardest part for me, but this video's helped so much!! your uploads make my day 🥰
I love watching you work on your art pieces, everything from start to finish is so much fun to watch. It also gives insight into your thought process ❤
@kuroshiro Excatly! And thank you very much for sharing your about how you go about doing things. Both your videos here on yt and your work on twitter gives me the courage to continue doing digital art and someday hopefully reach the same level of expertise as you. 😊
This video has helped so much! Especially with the insecurity that comes when making a piece, everybody says to use refs but never really show it and you did perfectly, thanks to you I'll be able to draw more with less of an inferiority complex, thanks a lot!! your channel is amazing! 💕💕
You won't believe how much this helped me understand what I'm studying. To figure out exactly where I put gesture, basic shapes and so on in place. Thank you!
oh my gosh, just when i am stuck on how to have a good sketch, you are always my savior i really thank you😭😭 , your art is great i can take from the first time I saw it
Nice. I draw mostly from memory, and I memorise my reference by looking at it a lot or briefly during a drawing. As I find it awkward having the image sit by my drawing as I draw. Difficult for me to concentrate or see the finer details.
This is such a great video! Thank you for giving us the encouragement to go and get references even for basic things that we might know how to draw already! Loved everything
This helped me a lot!! Thank you so much! You post consistently on insta so I'm curious about the time you take to finish a piece. From the sketch till the final rendering.
I really love your artstyle its so cool the video is so helpful thank you koru!😌💖✨️i really don't know why RUclips didn't send me the notification earlier🥲
I loved the video! It was really helpful! But do you have any tips or recommendations on how to improve anatomy. I get the basics of it but I want to improve it as well :)

This is really nice to watch! Ahh thank you for the tutorial! I have a question, when you have your finished pieces or sketches where do you save them? In a drive or a storage program? Like as backup :0
hmm i never thought of that. I don't have a backup, i save it to my desktop so if my laptop dies I am fucked lol But i share my pieces when they are finished with my drive account to be able to post them..but thats just at the very end ^^
is so cool to see you sketch, i could watch you for hours few questions if you don't mind : how are you nailing proportion ? and perspective ? i feel like a little perspective makes the poses so much more interesting but it's so hard to doo also how are you making the characters look like different person's while keeping the same artsyle?
Actually i am not nailing perspective, it's sometime I really struggle. I need to work on this. Proportions come with time, by repetition. hmm..the second question is quite tricky because I can see with my own art that the likeliness of a character changes sometimes depending on the head angle, so i am not quite consistent with this, but again, this comes by repeating the same things over and over again and look for the things you enjoy (enjoy working like this).

We need more artist to actually show their sketching process, it really helps beginners
And not just beginners, it's helpful at any stage, plus it's so good to watch, personnaly it's my favorite step ahah

Naww thanks for calling it 'aesthetic' ^^ I am trying my best to post more like that :)
It's really inspiring to watch you sketch! Always the hardest part of making a picture for me is the beginning
That's true, a good sketch is the base of everything, fixing things later is painful.

@@kurohshiro That's some good advice, I for sure need to take color and lighting into account more with my references!
Thank you so much for the guide! I always feel insecure in my sketches recently, having a hard time as I constantly wonder how do I go about a certain part.

Your understanding of anatomy and 3d space is just *chef's kiss* . I aspire to be as good as you one day. ^o^

Thanks for this video, it really helped me
Yes I was looking forward I struggle with poses a lot this helps
Thank you for sharing your amazing art process!! it's really helpful😭

thank you so much for the helpful sharing!
what are your canvas info (dimension, res?)
edit: nvm, I see it in the CSP tab. For anyone who's wondering, it's 2300 x 2700 300 dpi
You can try using pureref it is a reallly nice app that combine images., you can put it on top of the window while working, you should check it outtt
I love your art so much! I hope some day I will be able to draw as good as you since you're one of my big inspirations
Aw thanks! I really appreciate your words, I am sure you're doing amazing^^

Bro ur art is so amazing and pretty hope I can be this good like u one day :,] Any chance u could be making a vid probs abt how u found ur artstyle? I like learning how artists found their style ig xD
I wanted to ask if tou could make a tutorial of how youy blend / use ur brushes I have always struggled in that regard

2. The video shows the audience how you use refs.
3. Share the brush you are using.
