I MADE THIS 2 YEARS AGO WHY ARE PEOPLE FINDING THIS😭(i should make an updated version...)
i got recommended this rn 😭😭 AND I’D LOVE AN UPDATED VERSION !!!! :3
Yes please!!
Totes!!
Same lol, I love the anime art you make tho, and the advice was so useful it boosted up my confidence in art so I’d like to thank you for that ❤
Btw what’s your fav anime or anime character?
It was recommended to me
As a digital artist, I can truly agree that coloring is the most difficult thing to do whenever you're illustrating something.
AND YET COMES RENDERING-
Beleive me i dont even understand what is rendering till this day
@@hotsouse5569 Oh, well, rendering is like shading! [ i suppose-]
Edit: My mistake, rendering is actually a part of coloring. Rendering gives life to your drawings!
I don't know, I'm a complete beginner and I can't seem to wrap my head around drawing. I swear it feels like there's a mental wall that is blocking me from understanding. And the learning process is boring for drawing, I can't keep being consistent. Coloring however, is more fun to learn and practice and it's easy for my poopoo brain.
@CelesteVZ I too had fun with coloring when I was a beginner like you!
@@hotsouse5569 rendering is kinda like shading but makes it more realistic andd more smoother ig
lesson learned, just dont color your drawings! :) LINE ART FOREVERRR.
Edit: Oh. 308 likes. Noice
Fr
Fr fr 🗣️🗣️🔥
But then messy line art 😭
Sketches forever
you would be amazed to know that greyscale colouring is way harder than normal colouring
"You don't have to be good at everything to be a good artist"
True, that's why I'm a bad artist, I'm terrible at everything.
You got it man, you'll get there one day.
Just keep drawing i guess lololololololol
Im dieing ive gone through 2 sketch books already and have almost no improvement whatsoever 🤣😅😔
Same
Same homie😊
okay but can we talk about her immaculate taste in anime/genshin characters?!?
Yes, yes we can.
Fr!
IKRR I WAS LIKE "WOAAHAHAAA". LIKE SUCH GOOD ART TOO
Fr, the Scaramouche and dazai ones
1:38 I didn’t expect to see Dazai
love this video
SAMEE
me too!!
and sigma as well!
RIGHT?? BSD FANART IS NOWHERE ON YT
2:57 the motivational music got me😭😭😭😭
I am an Ibis Paint X artist.
For no. 5 I gotta say 1,000 x 1,000 doesn't look pixelated at all, in my art app at least. (I'm close-sighted and have to wear glasses that just makes things a bit bigger, However I can live without them as itc's not blurry at all.)
Plus on another one of my art sites (pixilart where the max is 700 x 700) I use 500 x 500 and there are some tricks to make the art seem less pixelated there, which is using a bigger canvas (I think the magic starts around 300 x 300) and thinner lines.
Edit: Autocorrect pixilart as pixel art so I had to fix it.
Ok but I use the exact same apps... IBIS for my usual art and I've been getting into pixel art using Pixilart for potential game sprites :3
LOVE THE COLUMBINA, TANJIRO, DAMIAN, SHOTO, ANYA AND SCARAMOUCHE ARTTTT btw so goodddd how didnt this get at least 1k likes???????
Real😢
AND XIAO
Poor xiao getting leftout
The columbina jumpscared me in a good way 😭😭😭
And Jaeha! 😆
i'd learn how to draw and colour in like a month then spend the rest of the year trying to find my artstyle lmfao💀💀
Real like I took 3 years 😭😭
Colouring is about lighting not colouring by numbers. You are so right about pixelation. Procreates biggest weakness in my opinion.
I would also recommend having messy shading. I used to do very solid blocks of shading and it was boring for me and didn't look very good anyway, but I switched the brush option to an oil paint style and made my shading messier and it looked better, was much easier to do, and I had more fun drawing that way.
This isn't really a rule just a tip for anyone who also struggles with shading and dislikes it like I did. This is how I do it, but every artist works differently and that's perfectly okay. So I guess my real advice is to not be afraid of trying something new and using new techniques in you art! You might discover a way of doing things you like way better
yeah, tha's what i noticed abt my self doing art at first. I studied multimedia arts n animation and most of my classmates and ofc my proffesor do that thing like putting a solid color of grey for value (from lighter to dark or vice versa) but for me tbh, i tried to explore because for me it doesn't fit on my logic so what i found that perfectly convince and made me happier is the exact thing that you said, "The Messy Way of blending thru strokes) I don't do the grayscale instead i on the spot choosing color that im seeing in my head that would fit the blending and using smudging, blur, and those paint that have pure dots for helping me the next step for coloring the texture and the texture itself (don't know if you get it 😅). So yeah m more satisfied and confused why Im like this and not like them, questioning if im doing it in the wrong path.
Being a bsd fan(bungou stray dogs),I was genuinely suprised seeing dazai and sigma😊.that aside love ur taste in characters
YES YES YES I SAW DAZAİ AND ITS ALREADY DONE FOR ME I'M FOLLOWİNG HER WAAA
When I saw dazai I was like HM OHMAHGAWD IS THAT DAZAI🤩🤩
Same 😭 I was like wait, dazai!?!...omg sigma!?!
same ong 😭😭😭
As someone who’s completely used to traditional art, trying digital was hell😭. It’s as if i was learning to draw all over again. Seeing improvement in my digital drawings was awesome though! Still a long way to go, but i’m getting it where i want it to be:D
I came here for the drawing tips, stayed for the amazing Sigma painting, CAN WE TALK HOW BEAUTIFUL IT IS?????
Also the tips really helpful! ty so much for this!!!! cant wait for future videos!! 😄
AHH THANK YOU! that was one of my favs
YESSS AND THE DAZAI DRAWING TOOO
the way u draw sm of my favs😭
I think u meant that ure just a weeb and simp
This is funny to me because its the opposite for me. Coloring feels borderline effortless to do and learn more about while Line Art feels like such a monumental challenge.
I'll do your lineart if you do my coloring 🤣💀
@@dragonofspades2837 lmao! Why does everyone hate coloring its easy!
I have the same problem, so I just start colouring right on sketch x))
@@thememeilator2633naw you have to tell us your ways
My drawings usually take 5-30 minutes then the colouring takes like 60 minutes
real
I only sketch messily and consider it done (definitely NOT done… but… yeah! 😅) so it takes me like 10 minutes
Honestly, rendering might actually be the most fun part about drawing, at least for me, especially drawing the lighting
Thank you for this! It’s so true!
Me in high school had no problem drawing manga style characters and shading with pencil. But me at the moment who did not draw for 10+ years and just started to do digital art, felt so highly that coloring/rendering is wayyyy more difficult than drawing.
3:33 THE SIGMA ART IS AMAZING
Ma'am sir WHY HAVENT YOU BLOWN UP ??! IS THE RUclips ALGORITHM A BIT BONKERS NOT TO BLOW THIS UP btw love the tanjiro art ✨🖤
AHHA THANK YOU
@@viyaurait happened lol
@@Yescuzynot a year late lol
@@gingerrr_ it still happened 🤷♀️
this was so useful, especially the parts where you said clean line art isnt mandatory and that it takes alot and alot of time to get really good at it and that you dont have to be good at EVERYTHING to be considered an artist. Thank You so much for this video
WHEN I SAW THE GENSHIN CHARACTERS I STARTED CRYING IM IN TEARS IN A CORNER😭😭😭😭😭😭💀💀💀💀
Tysm! About lineart..I could somewhat relate to you. As someone who has really shaky hands I spent way more time than necessary just on trying to perfect my lines which was pretty useless at the end since I just went with drawing messy lines instead
same!! messy lines is my favourite approach now ^^
Okay hi! I’m a new fan and I learned about you like a week ago and honestly in that week I became addicted to your art. Your a amazing artist and I wish I could draw like you and because of your art and this video I think I’m inspired to draw digitally again. Tysm and again, I love your art.
Hi!! omg truly this made my entire week, thank you so so much! I wish I could frame this and look at it when i'm sad :'D You're so sweet and I'm so glad that is inspired you draw digitally again! If you ever post your art I'd love to see it :)) Thank you so much again!
@@viyaura❤❤❤❤
Thank you for the video! I definitely agree on all the things you’ve said here; coloring has been one of the main things I have to work on, and consistency in how often you draw is key! I have drawn a lot less over the years so I see how frequency is very important
Tysm for this! This'll help me a lot!
....
I CAN'T GO AN HOUR WITHOUT BSD ATP, IT'S INSANE (I'm not complaining, live, laugh, love BSD)
I love your art!
Tbh one thing that helped me painting digitally is using only two layers. This might trigger some artists but it helped me A LOT, i use one layer for the sketch and lineart and it’s fine to be messy, the another layer underneath to add color and shading then i just blend the two layers and just paint on one layer. I find it very fun and help me go out of my comfort zone and just paint without focusing on lineart and stuff like these. Of course you will eventually end up adding more layers for lighting, adding new details etc... but overall i find one layer to help me just do whatever i want and it did help me get better. It can be hard and messy at first but to my art style, it’s way better than doing typical paining styles with linearts and many layers.
Thank you I have been out here buying brushes for procreate expecting them to instantly fix my coloring😂
I actually found that my line art relies on COLORED LINE ART
And then I color on top of my line art on a different layer
dang the bigger canvas part is such a useful information to me, thanks
Viyaura's voice is sooo.....
Relaxing 😎😌
I way i SCREAMED Dazais name when i saw him😂 but on a different note, your drawings are amazing!
Thank you so much for these tips
You got this! Thank you so much for the nice comment :)
@@viyaura no problem! and thank youuu as well :)
Okay, but when I was young I thought I needed to use as big of a canvas as possible (like 16000x16000 kind of big) and then realized that a lot of details get lost and you need a huge brush size to really make a difference when it comes to pen pressure. So, there is not only just "too small of a canvas", there is also "too big of a canvas".
....Also your PC will die.
Don't do it.
as someone who started drawing everyday and getting stressed about some not looking good this info helps ALOT
As for the coloring, you're absolutely right. I'm not saying that I didn't understand it back in the days, but sometimes it really takes a toll, especially now, when I got a little more confident with my lines and anatomy and I think that I'm capable of coloring it properly. Well, NO!
THE SCARAMOUCHE AND COLUMBINA?? GOD DAMN
One thing I’d like to add is don’t do lineart before coloring and don’t do coloring before shading.
The reason is it is so much easier to shade without color because your eyes are not distracted by the color (adhd artist I know what I’m talking about). Start with a neutral base like a light gray and steadily add in highlights and shadows.
And with lineart it’s incredibly easy to not realize the flaws in the form. If you have to go back and retweak an area when you’re in the coloring stage you’ll have to redraw you lineart again. Starting from your sketch, block out your forms with a gray base and carve out that form to look like a silhouette of whatever your drawing. You’ll save so much time in the lineart stage and since the form looks good, you won’t have to have an exterior line.
(This is just personal conjecture as art is different for every artist and you’re process will most likely be different from mine) hope this helps
Your art is really pretty
0:54 aye why he kinda looking like Xiao from genshin inpact- *KHUGH* ITS THE FACE AND HAIR😭😭
1:45 SCARA
lmaoaoaoaoaooao we love anemo boys
i wish i actually learned about focal points when it comes to lighting and did a couple topographical calculations to determine the location of the end points of the rays of light to enhance the depth of my drawings and to determine the constancy of the abscence of light via varying degrees of intensity
THANK YOU SO MUCH it helps a lot 😭 I get frustrated all the time bcs I'm not yet experienced in digital art and I feel like I don't know how to paint and I compare myself a lot with my fave artists
But I keep telling myself that it takes time to learn that skill
And having someone tell me their experience with that just helped me a lot, thank you❤
This was really helpful for me. I have been a fan of a anime "Dragon Ball Z" since i was young and i started drawing the character's from it from time to time and i can say without a shadow of a doubt that i have improved in drawing in that anime style quite a bit since my first time but since i couldn't still draw a regular anime style male / female i felt like I'm not a good artist yet but this actually boosted me. Im slowly developing and practising other styles and basic autonomy and I'm confident now i will improve even more with practice ! Thanks and Keep up the great work ! 🙌
thank you! keep going :)
3:12 CANT DRAW THE SECOND EYE ARTIST SPOTTED
draw both eyes at the same time
@@steal. ik
@@the.winged.devil. idk how to draw eyes tho
I need your handwriting style man, it’s so pretty
One thing I've learned from hand animation is to *always* work in 4K. Doesn't matter if it's going to be 640 x 480 in the end, the reduction removes the noise in your strokes.
Vi! You know I'm trying to learn how to draw on paper. Not digitally, but I came across your video anyway. It's been almost a month since I've been practicing... And I gotta say, letting go of the idea you need to be perfect does wonders! My drawings don't look that great yet! But I already know how to use some techniques and I know how I can actually START A drawing, something I didn't know before! And I'm pretty proud of that ❤ I'm allowing myself to actually draw like a beginner because.... That's what I am? Hahahah great video! (Also great art.)
You are now one of my inspirational artist.. your one of my heroes now and forever 🙌🏻🙇🏻♀️❤
you're too kind, tysm!
Best video ive seen on this so far, it was entertaining and i loved it :)
The motivacional part was perfect😂😂
2:30 I started freaking out because I realized I’ve seen this before, I love your art sm you’re an inspiration omg
This was a very good video, thank you!🖤
3:26 OMG IT'S SHINOBAE
I love yout description of not being good at everything doesn't mean you're a bad artist
I feel the exact same toward coloring digitally! Its taken me years to realize I need to consider it it's own skill and to try experimenting and seeing what I like and I swear, I will never stop learning new ways to color. I also recently saw another video (I forgot who by, but I know she does some where she draws scenes from games of bit life) and she said the same thing about not needing to draw perfect lines. It really does take soooooo much time away and when you finally stop worrying so much, it's such a HUGE relief (also, no one will notice).
so true!
I've only started digitally drawing around three days ago.I've become obsessed and finished 4 good pictures. The thing is, i spend alot of focus on the people and then the background is just blurry and i barely try on it - but somehow it works and gives it a camera effect soooo
The statement at 3:04 is something that I needed to hear.. and whats going to put this video in my motivation playlist :D
So, I know this was from a while ago, but one thing that was mentioned from other channels that really helped me with pixelation is having resolution/dpi at 300, because the lower that is, the more pixelated it will be
The coloring part is something I've somewhat given up on mastering
The problem was I was self taught most of my life so the methods and philosophy I developed was pretty much,
1) Draw Outline
2) Color inside
That was pretty much my philosophy until recently, it didn't helped that the art school I later went to also reinforced this idea of clean lineart, so before where my lineart was a lot more messy but quick and easy, became a struggle for perfection
So now, I can't really stand not perfecting my lineart, or rather coloring at all without one already prepared
I really wished I had understood how coloring worked before I became so reliant on lineart that's holding me back
I find this very helpful. Thank you.
4:37 OMG ONE OF MY FAVORITE MHA CHARACTERS!!
This is so helpfull thanks for making thiss
Btw love your drawings😭💗
For Me the colouring is just so relaxing
I dont even know how to draw a male body,male eyes,male hair-
AND I CANT EVEN DRAW A CARTOON-LIKE STYLE-
i tried coloring last week and felt like crying , glad someone felt the same
Okay but EXCUSE MEE?? SEVERELY UNDERRATED VIDEO?? HELLO??
Very good tips. I love lineart and do it well I think because I developed it through admiration of artists like Jim Lee and Todd McFarlane, but I have a long way to go when it comes to coloring. It's a vast ocean.
Bro, this is actuälly helpful
One Layer drawings make things much more easyer! threres no problem with using more layers, and do a copy, but i personally think, the true coloring and painting process begins, when you finally start to let go of thousands of layers. it makes it all so much more complicated!
I should probably go with using my sketch for line art, because my traditional art is pretty sketchy, and I always liked it. I think I'll try it!
Thank u so muuuuuch !
the struggle of coloring,,,,, man i feel you
This is so helpful ty ❤
Not me just being in love with your content
When I want to improve I like to focus more on the things I’m not good at for example bg, the other eye and hands. If I just focus on getting better at those things specifically, I can see improvement :)
Just wanted to understand Colouring and rendering i was bamboozled l, just left the whole thing, then decided to give it a try a year later , the thing with drawing with any medium is just be patient with urself and be consistant
Thank you so much 💖
Never expect for u to draw Dazai 😮 (I love it)
Just because she sucks at lineart and ink doesn't mean you have to be a quitter too, lmao.
Friends. Lineart, inking, cell-shading, cross-hatching is an art on itself. If you like lineart and inks just enjoy yourself doing it and perfect it. So don't feel discouraged.
this is all so true, it took me so long to realize this 😭 but tbh I feel like "coloring is harder than drawing" is something that depends on the person, similarly how there are also people who find drawing harder than paintings and the opposite people also exist (which was surprising to me in art school lol, but it's not that surprising cuz they are two different skills). But then, coloring a stylized art that has a lineart is not the same as painterly painting, and I honestly even find regular painting easier, it's been like years and I am still not sure how I like to color digital stylized art..it's so hard to find a coloring style that makes sense for your stylization. And how to make lineart look good when you're someone who was taught all life painting in art school is really hard too lol. (I hope this makes any sense)
Another thing I will add to this, don’t be afraid to use reference pictures! I’ve been doing art for almost a year now (mainly traditional, but also I make little MCYT animatics in flipaclip from time to time) and I still use reference pictures for my character designs, dynamic poses, and etc. I also kind of disagree with the part about coloring. While it can be much harder than the drawing itself, I personally LOVE the process of adding color to my works! It brings that extra bit of life to them and just ties everything together impo
THIS using references is so, so, SO important and can drastically improve art. and i can't tell you how much my dumb, lazy ass forgets or don't feel like looking for refs. but the difference between my art where i used reference compared to my art i used without is very clear. not only irl refs but if you can't think of anything to draw, looking at other people's art can inspire ideas! ideas don't just come out of nowhere, it always comes from something. and nobody should feel bad if they can't think of ideas on the fly
LMAO I SCREAMED WHEN I SAW DAZAI, LANGA & SIGMA 😭 YOUR ART IS SO GOOD
fair analogy. I found some of my own troubles with some of the "ranting" you told, lol. I think I should get back into drawing, been slacking on it cuz i'm tryna learn music xd
Thank you! As a new digital artist this hepls me alot!
im glad it was helpful!
Same here, always thought lineart is important until I discovered that straight up painting over the sketch is way easier than grinding 10hours to make a bad lineart
THANK YOU
I mean, that is what they say. The messy line art looks good so, might as well do it.
I love you and your drawings ❤️❤️❤️
thank you!!
Coloring is so darksided. I genuinely think the best thing for someone to do when starting drawing (digital or traditional) is to start in grayscale. If you learn values first (meaning using shades of gray to make highlights and shadows), coloring will come easier. There’s a reason traditional art classes start you out in grayscale. It removes the behemoth of coloring from the process.
Depends on the level your drawing and rendering at. If your drawing complex subject matter at a high level drawing is harder i think. No shade but anime portarits are pretty doable.
I want to get back into my art. I spent the better part of a decade drawing pony fanart. I know it started hitting artist block and I haven't drawn anything in years. The one thing I take from this is the lineart. I obsessed over lineart too much. I better start by letting that go.
Yeah, the fact that procreate limits the layers because the canvas is bigger is why i had to make myself "know my place" and keep my canvas at around 2k by 3k
As for me, coloring "was" much harder than drawing itself. However, when I somehow developed a consistent method of coloring, I came to a conclusion, that the hardest part of drawing is sketching :P
Comforting! ❤️
Your first colored piece you ever done is just hard cel shaded. And it doesn't look terrible. Really looks like a single screen shot cel
I've always been right in hating coloring drawings, i prefer letting it without color, It got to the point where it became a mania
you know.... when i started digital art for fun... i basically got so frustrated with lineart that i just decided to draw over it and completely remove it once the drawing took more shape. (basically transforming it more into a painting like image lol)
