The most absurd thing is that there are people who manage to do mini tutorials in 1min while others are just "look at how good I am but let's pretend this is a tuto"
I hate when I find a tutorial of a completely coloured artwork, and all they do is show me how to do the line art. Then they proceed to say, oh just add details and shading and colour it. Like, please someone explain how to shade and add colour too! That's the most difficult part for me.
To be fair, this kind of *is* the stuff you should be expecting from a Tiktok art tutorial. Nobody can cover all of the processes behind creating a fully finished art work without sacrificing actual usefulness in order to fit it into a short video format. You can find many videos that explain how to color or draw clothes or hair or faces, but you'll find that they're never in a catch-all one-video tutorial because of the sheer amount of material that would need to be covered. Anyways case in point; part of the issue is simply looking for the right things in the wrong places.
I was about to say you forgot about the obnoxious copyright free music blaring over any meager instructions the poster might supply but I’m glad you added it
Then there are those art "tutorials" that will draw something in a simple/anime/cartoon style with a BIG RED X, then draw it ✨hyper realistic✨ with a BIG GREEN TICK! Why golly gee thanks! As if the concept of different art styles for different purposes or tastes doesn't exist! :D :D :D
I wish people would just post a regular speed paint of their art instead of pretending it's a "tutorial". I'd watch it even if it wasn't supposed to be a tutorial because I like the art and the process is interesting
@@urban_nocturne Confirm it myself. I constantly post speedpaints because one day I hope my art will be more recognized, but also because I like speedpaint videos
Ah yes, if you draw like shit, the solution is to NOT draw like shit 🙃 Comments bots be like: OMG so useful channel! I'm subscribing. Meanwhile artists who actually wants a tutorial: **sad cat crying gif**
lol it's just like those tiktokers "well im going to show you why im better than you and faster than you by not showing you all the process of my drawing so i will get more views and you will learn nothing from my video"
@@Window4503 uh yes it is? The title states that this video is like some of the tiktok art tutorials. This comment says that this video is like what some tiktokers do. If there is a difference explain please.
I hate those type of people. Thinking they're great when in reality, someone is a lot better than them who actually does a good tutorial but do they try to learn, nope. They just look down on others.
sometimes the person recording the tiktok will act so crazy as if they're going insane. I remember seeing this one art tiktok and the girl was just screaming every single line she said.
The worst part for me is when a video just blows past the sketch phase. As a beginner, i'm here to learn how to do the sketch phase properly, but I can't do that if they blow past it in three seconds flat!
I absolutely resonate with this entire video, trying to learn how to draw took me a lot longer with some of those peoples' "tutorials"... because truthfully, people who do these types of "tutorials" I think just want to flex at how good their art is, so they can get a flow of commissions from people. They aren't really trying to help people get better at art!
I actually learn a lot from these types of tutorials. Specifically about how not to teach art, and about the need for egotistical artists to constantly try to gloat about how their art is superior by avoiding constructive criticism and instead showing them that they find it "easy" to understand, by underexplaining and making it seem like it's common knowledge.
YES THIS THIS THIS IS WHAT I HATE ABOUT THOSE AWFUL TUTORIALS!! Back when I didn't understand what I needed to learn, they really brought me down and I hate them so much
This is even funnier when you realize ronnilust actually makes some of the most succinct and genuinely helpful art tutorials out there. An even bigger insult when crappy tutorials go viral.
That is true indeed, a shame that a lot of actually great artists don't get the attention they deserve but the "Woah look i can spin my pen after 26 takes and then use the eraser tool to remove the white layer above the finished artwork, i'm so cool gisuhvsvdfjgsddsdsdhdhdb" ones do
@@mangleofficial8040 if you wanna improve as a self taught, i recommend winged canvas and take 1 or 2 tips to see how you like it(oh and also ronillust, sometimes have some tips and they're easy to spot by the title)
@@AlicornHana No offense, but winged canvas is the 10 minute equivalent of what this video is complaining about, also I hate the clickbaity thumbnails and titles, they are (for lack of a better word) cringe.
Every "do this not this" on Instagram like they're called art tips but they don't gave you the tip. They're like plenty of artists out there willing to learn to improve their art skills :
apart from tiktok, in picture tutorials sometimes the difference is just so subtle its like the person just copy pasted the same image and put a cross and check sign on them and then u have to spend the next few minutes playing find the difference in the two images lol unless the ppl in comments point that out
Not gonna lie, some youtube "tutorials" are like that too where they dont explain anything and just go like "uhhh here i got this line goeeen like dis and this line like this and i got my arm here and my ass there and.... voila"
this right here is why 99% of tutorials are ass and dont work for me. they dont explain shit and just expect me to know stuff and then show like 10/200 steps. its always the worst when "beginner" tutorials are aimed at people who arent beginners and already know the skill and aree trying to improve
What really annoys me about these kinds of videos is they'll draw the first one really badly, then the next really well. And the thing they're telling you to do differently isn't even a difference it's just the same drawing done with 100x more effort.
Im pretty sure that's 85% of the whole world wide internet... I had to learn the hard way... By actually doing and looking things up... Like lighting and shading works and different types of body structures and how organs fit in there... The most important tip really is... Just do till you improve, you will find certain *tricks* or short ways to do hard and complex stuff... It won't be perfect, you always see flaws in it no matter what, and that's true. Everything can be done in a better way, but not always it's the right way.
This reminds me of easy little drawings so much 😭 he just draws bad and doesn’t even explain what’s bad about it and then just draws good on the second without explaining what he did differently 😭😭😭
I think the problem with these is that they're trying to show too many solutions at once instead of showing a decent drawing with a problem **a** as in **singular** and then showing how to fix the problem step by step. but instead it just gets jumbled up with everything when done all at once, hence the "get gud" feeling of these tutorials
And even some that do focus on one solution tend not to explain them, I saw one the other day about hair but it didn't go into why the differences were wrong/right or what to do if the hair you're drawing is a different length, color, hairstyle, just one long wig basically. A little detail on how and why everything works. It's like an English speaker learning Japanese but then speaking Japanese with the English grammar structure, they aren't giving you the "why" it works.
what else i hate is when they rip on perfectly good art. like yeah it may not be ~anatomically correct~ but that's just the other artist's style. the old anime style from around the 2000 is still very charming and nostalgic
I don't expect to learn anything when I watched the tutorial on TikTok but sometimes there are just really helpful tips that I never know happened to drop from them
This happens a lot on Blender sculpting tutorials. They show themselves doing the thing but don't even explain how to get the UI to show up, let alone what they're actually doing!!
I really want to draw with pencil and not on a computer but literally everyone on the internet uses a pc for their tutorials. "yeab bro just use control c bro its so easy"
Don't worry, there are still many tutorials that do not involve digital art. Maybe try searching graphite pencil tutorials or coloured pencil tutorials :)
So true. These "art tutorials" are just speed timelapses, you can barely learn anything while watching them. Should be better to watch a live process video instead.
This video is so good. 🤣 That's exactly what those 1 minute "tutorial" videos are like. It's only missing the coloured outlined text popping on screen while talking.

Thank goodness for the Cross and Tick because the difference between each image is so subtle I'd be lost without being shown.
It makes me even madder when, instead of check mark, they use a fucking circle
