No joke, when I saw the picture in twitter for the first time, I did not see who posted it. I gasped when I saw dish then! You’re improving so much, very proud ❤ peepohappy
I am living vicariously through your art journey because I'm someone that was never able to trust the process with art and I cannot visualise the end product to save my life 😭 YOUR PROGRESS HAS BEEN INSANE DARRAGH ACTUALLY CRACKED
"Acknowledging that discouragement and being able to push through it, that also goes hand in hand in understanding that there are steps that kind of have to be followed in order to get to a very specific end result." Didn't know I was getting motivation, there are so many people who need to hear these words as this applies to pretty much everything.
really appreaciate the drawing vids dish! its like a fresh breath of air between the normal genshin vids! i am also an artist so it really motivates me to draw after seeing ur vids
the second you decided to draw, you were already an artist. now you're just learning and practicing towards becoming a better artist. i've gotten so much joy from watching you progress. if the piece was challenging, then great because you learned something and your skills were really put to work. if the piece didn't challenge you, then cool because you've gotten into your flow. the boss illustration is really a culmination of what you've learned so far, and i think it turned out awesome. from start to finish, you created this and that's really something. keep it up, dish! ^^b
OH MY GOSH THE SCREAM I JUST RELEASED IS INHUMAN im so so proud of you dish! you've really come far since the first day you started i cant speak proper english on how impressed i am
I can definatly relate to this, especially the part about not liking the piece until the end. I spent like 3 weeks working on a TIghnari drawing because I kept wanting to edit it and make it perfect. It defiantly didn't come out perfect in the end but I do like the final result and I had a lot of fun drawing.
Dish I’m serious when i say that the illustration is breathtaking. You’ve improved so much since starting this challenge it actually inspired me to start my art journey as well.
I’ve been drawing for 10+ years and consider myself a bit of a decent artist, and youve amazed me so much. You’re an artist the day you learn to draw, you just become a better one, it looks so amazing and I’m so amazed you’ve come this far and made so much progress in such a short amount of time! Definitely keep it up! ❤❤ excited to see the future progress
personally i find it easier to colour when the background isnt white, for example using a blue black bg for night scenes and a more red or green bg for day scenes, it helps to make the colours fit tigether more easily
This is so good and the fact that you are starting to feel satisfied with your own work is the most important part. I hope you are proud of all the projects that you work on Dish
To all my artists out there, it’s ok if you end up not liking the final piece! You didn’t waste time on a piece you hate, you learned and grew and that’s all that matters! Not every piece has to be perfect, and all that’s important is having fun! :)
i cannot emphasise enough how much i want this boss to be something from metal gear rising where the we can like run up its arms while rules of nature blasts in the background
The point you made about spending time on one part of your illustration and doubting yourself but pushing through the doubt stuck with me. I often feel that way when I work on my art, and it causes me to have art block and not continue with it for long periods. This series opened my eyes because it made me realize you don't have to put such high standards on yourself with your art. You can take your time and make mistakes. Awesome video, Dish. The illustration you did is so beautiful!! I can't wait to see more. :D
Its good to see ruin machines getting some love, I had a idea for a normal Ruin Guard and will draw it after I finish my Noelle piece and I'm still afraid that it won't gonna turn out to be better but that's the fastest way to improve. Doing these passion projects are good and you should do them often *A begginer's tip, I hope you find it useful* I advice you to draw rough draft first while coloring roughly to get light, shapes, color, values and everything down then I would advice you go for line art then it would be your choice to you to either do the color all over again or refine the existing ones, this method may takes time but its more helpful to not only improve but it helps in planing and finalizing before going all details so that if you can roughly see what you are going for and what parts of illustration needs change so you can improve further. And don't go all details while coloring in rough stage, use shapes to show the forms, keep things skechy but helpful. Color and light is really hard, I'm struggling with it too but this method eases the pain of coloring as our minds are not that great with details and things like that so we need to bring our ideas first in rough to make them better until we get experienced that is. This was my opinion and personal experience with art and good luck with your future pieces
The principle of this video kind of reminds me of Eizouken (which is a great show highly recommend). There’s something so uplifting and enlightening about watching somebody learn and grow and simultaneously having them realize and be proud of themself and realize their triumphs. Art is a means to an end, but that end is never concrete, and there’s nothing defining what that end must mean to you. Art is not efficiency or especially proficient, it is making something that you enjoy. And it’s clear by the care and time you’ve put into this, that you enjoy it a lot!
I got my ipad and started drawing again about a month before you uploaded your first drawing video, I used to draw a bit but never well and I lost a lot of skills I used to have so I'm kind of going through this journey with you. It's funny because literally about 2 hours before I watched this video I actually drew something I was damn well proud of (it was kaeya!) and I was like wow I really am improving, and then I saw this, and holy sheeeeet you have improved so much, its a gorgeous piece! idk I just felt the need to comment and also to say thankyou because these videos have kept me encouraged to continue through my own art journey again. It's really nice to be enjoying my hobby again, and actually liking what I'm creating now!
i legit let out an audible gasp when i saw the final piece. it's so gorgeous and dynamic. i'm so proud of you pushing through the discouragement, you improved so much over those few months and i'm so glad we get to see your growth live because it inspired me to pick up drawing once again and it's just so cool to see. much love, we're all really proud of you ❤
this is so wholesome i couldnt stop smiling, ive been drawing for a long time and love seeing people starting art and the progression they make!! keep it up dish youre killing it !!!
Your drawing journey is truly wholesome, and i may have been drawing for a few years now but i yearn for the kind of patience and perseverance you show. Truly inspiring, keep it up, you're getting better and better!!
This put a smile on my face. You're such an inspiration. Ive been struggling to continue doing my own art and seeing you explain and share the developmental process (ups and downs) really inspired me to try harder at my own craft. I hope you're always well. Thanks for this, dish! :)
ASDFGHJKL I HAVE NO WORDS TO EXPRESS HOW MUCH I'M PROUD OF YOU RN, YOUR ART IMPROVES DAY BY DAY AND IT'S CLEAR THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THESE MONTHS. KEEP PRACTICE DISH, YOU ARE AWESOME
i feel like it doesn’t necessarily matter if you like your drawing at whatever point because theres always and i mean ALWAYS like even if its a stick figure there will be someone who genuinely likes your art and compliments it that has always been the reason i continue drawing i very rarely like my artwork but the people who compliment it still mean a lot to me so in other words to dumb it down it doesnt matter if you dont like your art because theres always someone else that does
ur sense of lighting and composition is honestly impressive. I’ve been drawing for over 10 years and i still struggle with those things. don’t ever stop drawing and creating cause ur doing so well!! ur very talented and u will definitely keep improving
Whenever someone asks me how im "good at art" I just tell them that I trust the process. You're doing amazing dish, and I love that your finding more love in your art
You should try drawing a still life Dish!, you could make it digitally but I think it’s better to make it with good old pencil and paper. Still lifes are AMAZING as they help you really grasp the concept of space, lighting, volume, shading and just the basics overall😊. It doesn’t have to be super big and only needs a couple of objects, but it’s just a good way to practice your and hone your skills, HAVE LOTS OF FUN ON YOUR ARTISTIC JOURNEY🎉🎉❤
This is so relatable 😂 Sometimes I have great art pieces, but when I keep on trying to create the same style over and over I just lose it hehe. I think I should pace myself and accept that not every artwork will be great.
I'm glad you like the result of your art! Happy for you dish! I think this is something all artists must realize that sometimes the good part is at the very end of the process, and in order to see it we must push through. I do admit that there are pieces that I did that I didn't like even after I finished it, but I never believed that I wasted that moment of my life. Every piece contributes to the improvement of my future artworks. Good luck to you too for your future art projects!
This was an amazing video! Oh and that Lumine drawing was absolutely beautiful! I think you get that feeling ONLY cause you're a content creator. It's healthy that you looked at Lumine and felt happy/satisfied about Lumine. In every craft, at every stage, it's normal to appreciate and be happy about what you can do now that you couldn't do before or you thought you couldn't do before! I remember the excitement and joy when I started learning guitar and was able to play musical notes back to back that actually made a pleasant sound! Ik very basic and nothing impressive at all but I just thought "wait... I'm actually making pleasant sounds holy fuk am I really on my way to learn this instrument??!" And then the incredible joy when you finally get quite good at strumming and you're like "damm I'm making music rn WHAT IS HAPPENING" and I know it's nothing impressive but that's what motivates artists to keep honing their skill - you only feel like "nah I'm nothing impressive" because you're thinking about your video and thinking "ofc with all these people watching, someone's probly gonna be waay better than me and what r they gonna thunk". But No - that doesn't take away from the impressiveness at all. So be impressed and enjoy your progress! Maybe draw something comfortable as a break before jumping right into new territory or skill for the next phase! And have fun with it! If you do, you're likely to stick to it and thus get better!
i couldn't believe it when i saw the illustration posted on dishcord - i'm just AMAZED with how far you've come! i've been drawing for quite a few years and while i know i've made progress, it's definitely been slow. seeing you have the motivation to take on such a challenging illustration, push through until the end and for it to come out that good?! i'm so happy to hear that you like the end result, because i definitely do haha - lumine in particular looks really good. anyway, good luck with the rest of your art journey ms dish! thank you always for posting these videos that inspire me and so many others❤
Your sense of perspective is so good!! When I was starting out this was something I REALLY struggled with, and something I still struggle with now. Thanks for sharing your journey with us!!
jesus, this artwork is fantastic ms dish! i'm so proud of your progress! it feels like it's been no time at all but you're already at a point where you can do these sorts of bigger projects AND with high quality work that, most importantly, YOU are satisfied with and that you like. i can't wait to see your future works!
Getting a peek into this journey with you is a real blessing, especially as someone who has drawn for a long time and has gone through the same mind-steps as you are now. Thank you for sharing
I dont know anything about drawing on any program but I remember watching a graphics designer work from the side and he worked on a much larger scale and then scaled it down. Seems like it could make things easier.
DUDEEE Firstly, this was honestly incredible, I’ve been drawing for like my whole life and that would have taken me like double the time to do- And and anddd, you said something along the lines of “I’m finally becoming an artist I think” and after hearing that I felt like I really needed to say this, YOU ARE AN ARTIST!! If you are making art and you enjoy doing it, regardless of how it looks or where you are in your art journey, you ARE an artist, all you need to do is have fun with what your doing. If it brings you joy and makes you happy when you do it, boom artist. But honestly, all in all we are all more than proud of you, seeing where you’ve started and where you are now(NOT EVEN A YEAR YET MIND YOU) (Also also, if you want to see more of the art and drawing process from other artists I recommend watching speedpaints on RUclips if you haven’t already, I used to watch a lot of them when I was younger and it really helped me a lot)
So proud dish I know this is late reply I’ve seen this before awhile back but just looking back really really gets to me on how much you improved and if you were ever to take art classes don’t think of progress as embarrassing moments if it’s not what you capture. Art can be used to be expressing our emotions and what we think of. But if your artwork dosent go to plan think of it as progression keep it to look back at think of it as “In the particular time It wasnt what I was expecting but looking back now I think I have made improvements” keep on going dish! You got this.
Hey hey! I like never comment on stuff, but from one beginner artist to another, your improvement is incredible! I remember watching the first episode of this series, that coincidentally came out a few months after I started my re-learning of art, and I was so happy to see a creator I like trying this whole art thing, especially at the same time as me. And as someone who’s also taking a stab at digital art, I wanted to offer some tips or general advice I’ve discovered/learned from other art friends. Your style is really cool and this is by no means telling you what to do! Just some advice I thought you or anyone else reading this could appreciate! Firstly, limiting yourself to just one brush for a whole piece is such a good idea. It forces you to think outside of the box and do things in a way you wouldn’t have thought to do otherwise, I’m honestly thinking of trying it myself. But don’t be afraid of those other brushes, they’re fun! I completely agree that the pure selection can be overwhelming, but just try using a few of them. You don’t have to make a full drawing with them, you don’t even need to make a drawing at all. You don’t even need to post it if you don’t want to, just experiment, play around with what procreate (or your drawing medium of choice) has to offer. It can be helpful to see your options, even if you never end up using them. Secondly, and this is mostly for those who aren’t already posting their art somewhere, don’t be afraid to make stuff for you. And by that I mean make art that you don’t post anywhere. Show it to your parents, your significant other, your friends, your pets if you really want to, but do not post it on social media. It’ll take off a lot of the pressure to make every piece better than the last, and you won’t have to worry about outside judgement. Enjoy creating just for you. Thirdly, this is a tip I got from another RUclipsr, make a comfort character. Someone with aspects you love to draw. Take all your favourite things to draw and slap them into one character. Like drawing curly hair? Enjoy designing complicated clothes? Big boots fun to draw? Put those all into a character, and don’t worry about if they’re “cringe” or a “Mary-Sue”. Make something that’s fun for you to draw, something you can pump out a quick doodle of when you have no other ideas. Again, create for you. And finally, draw when you can. Most artists will tell you to draw one thing a day, and if you can? That’s amazing! But sometimes that’s daunting, especially if you don’t know how to draw yet, or don’t like what you draw. Just drawing whenever you can, whether that’s before work or school, during a break, at night before you go to bed, just try and draw something whenever you have free time, and don’t worry about whether it’s good or not. Drawing is enough. This turned out a lot longer than I intended :’D but I hope it made sense, and again it’s all just suggestions
This as a raid boss would be so dope. Like the arm is the only moving part,. but the eye and arm are the dangers, and you and those who join you would be under the arm on this large platform created using dendro (perhaps made by Kusanali) so that you could explain away no damage to the surroundings. It most likely won't happen, but we could DREAM. Incredible art Dish. I love it
It's beautiful, Miss Dish! Thank you for sharing this with us. Now you inspire me to do another artwork after a very looong time. Hope you'll find the art journey more enjoyable and rewarding in every finished piece.
You're art reminds me so much of my esrly digital art, it's kinda refreshing tbh, especially when you make something you're proud of, because even though it's not perfect you still appreciate how far you've come.
The drawing came out so good! Even as an artist myself, I probably can't make something as nice as that. I'm not that good at landscapes and big things like that, I honestly really really love the result and I am so proud of you! You grew a lot and it looks awesome 👍
This is so cool and heartwarming! As a teenager who loves to draw, seeing somebody pick up drawing again at a more...mature? point in their life brings me so much hope. I was always a little worried that life would catch up to me and I'd be forced to stop drawing once I got older. The fact that you started drawing again (and are improving!) is very motivational to me. Thank you, I wish you nothing but good luck with your art journey and I hope you win all your 50/50s! :D
As an artist that burnt out after getting really good at one thing and then suddenly stop improving this is helping me realize that I was improving because I was trying new things and I got too comfortable with a single thing. Honestly I think I might try doing the same thing you did here and try drawing Genshin landscapes a little 😊 also this turned out beautiful and I have seen so much improvement throughout this series And you are doing an amazing job!
DISH YOU'VE IMPROVED SO MUCH... i don't know if i have the right just bc im an artist but i feel so proud to see another artist grow and seeing your progress just makes me feel good bc i was once like this..like you..so ye..keep up the goodwork ms strimmer!
Aww I feel so proud! ❤ I really really want to be an artist when I’m older and seeing you progress gives me so much motivation to actually practice! Good job!
I'm honestly super impressed. I've been drawing for years yet you've already surpassed me with that full drawing! (Probably because I've never had a good digital drawing program and I can't render/shade...) but anyways keep up the great work
this is great!! no time spent drawing is ever wasted!! 💖just because it doesnt look how you imagined or how you wanted it, doesnt mean it will never get there and i'm glad to see you understand that because SO many people draw something and they dont like it and they give up right then and there. art is a skill like any other: practice, practice, practice. thats all there is to it : ) keep going!
I totally get what you're saying about coloring your work😅. I am always way happier with my sketch but, since I want to improve in art, I have to be vulnerable and go even further. I finished a piece this weekend that I had been drawing for some time and, for the first time in three years of drawing (let's say about fifteen to twenty pieces ) I was finally happy with what I accomplished! It took me some time but it gave me so much joy that I started my next drawing the very next day 😊! It really pays off in the long-term!
Feels like synchronicity stumbling upon your video. At a cross roads as someone whos drawn for almost 25 years, but never pursued it seriously, with an aim to get better and get work. Prb 2 or 3rd time the universe hollar'd at me to heed this words. Hope i make good on this chance..thanks
i love the way you put vimara village soundtrack as BGM cause i love that ost so much and thought i still on my game. and btw i love the result of your art, it is so beautiful and im jealous cause i cant even make my dream come true with drawing cause i cant draw....
You drew something, it's great, you've progressed, you're happy with the result, you're constructive, striving to do more, taking breaks where you feel you need it, and above all, enjoying it. Call yourself what you are Dish, you're an Artist!
Yeeess you had such a good point, good art takes TIME, so much time, just search how professional illustrators work A MONTH with a team on a single illustration, you are doing amazing and the only important thing at the end of the day is that you enjoy doing it
Is so exciting seeing ur progress, the draw was so cool and about liking the line art more than the colored ver (thats what i understood)) of the draw came to me and maybe is the reason why i don't finish my draws tehe but its okay but again the draw is so damn cOOL, like u said comparing from the old vids this is really working! and im learning some things too which again learning kinda beside u is rlly nice, looking forward for more of ur draws and the ny vlog we luv u miss dish:))
This is so pretty wow! Also your insight on learning and not liking the piece at the start really resonated with me. I do exactly the same and it’s so nice to hear your advice on these types of things, it really helps! I am really enjoying these art videos too, I love watching when drawing :”) Please do keep these up!
BEST EPISODE SO FAR!!!! I cannot believe when I watch back first episode and then now its really "trust a proccess ! You inspired me to start drawing and i really got better just like you! thanks for motivation see ya in two weeks
It’s great! you’ve come very far, and your drawing skills have greatly improved since you started. Keep going, You’ll be a full blown artist in no time! ^^
It suprises me how this was pretty similar (in essence) with an experience I had back in october 2021. randomly, i just got a burst of motivation and inspiration and started making progress on a big thing. i remember it being a drawn map of a game i know, too but HOLY i could never complete something like this. It looks really good! (still working on completeing a full illustraton for once.. let's see if my motivsation melts before then)
Hey just letting you know that I love keeping up with your art journey! it's so comforting to me to see because i'm also revisiting art and trying to improve my skills 😊💕 it looks awesome!
You did so good! You have improved so much and it looks amazing. One tip tho. When doing shading, use a multiply layer affect instead of just darkening the color by like, 20 or so %. And dont use black to shade when you do multiply. Use like a blueish color. But oh my god you have improved so much! :D
dish, when i saw the drawing on twitter at first i thought it was a screenshot from the game! the lighting is so good and it really does bring the whole picture together. i'm so proud of you!
I definitely relate for the longest time I thought a lot of my fave artist just draw on a canvas and thats it, they make something amazing. But it turns outs I have to look for references, make a pinterest board, plan compositions, colorblock, do thumbnails, etc. before I can get to the actual drawing portion especially when its something elaborate. The pre-stage is definitely a pain and can be discouraging at first but its definitely worth it once you get to the final product.
Dude... Your Giant Robot Dude looks friggin' cool. Add some ice flower (the one with ice stamen) on some mold clumps then when the Robot Dude has a rage mode, it melts it. Then washes away the mold, showing the original sheen of the Robot material it was made with
No joke, when I saw the picture in twitter for the first time, I did not see who posted it. I gasped when I saw dish then! You’re improving so much, very proud ❤ peepohappy
Sameee-
This fr!!!^^^
I am living vicariously through your art journey because I'm someone that was never able to trust the process with art and I cannot visualise the end product to save my life 😭
YOUR PROGRESS HAS BEEN INSANE DARRAGH ACTUALLY CRACKED
just trust the process
Just take the first step
I love how we saved 3 to 4 probably more nations with a dull blade 😂

@hola minyo OMG REALLY? He got such an upgrade.. we're so proud of him 🤣
"Acknowledging that discouragement and being able to push through it, that also goes hand in hand in understanding that there are steps that kind of have to be followed in order to get to a very specific end result."
Didn't know I was getting motivation, there are so many people who need to hear these words as this applies to pretty much everything.
really appreaciate the drawing vids dish! its like a fresh breath of air between the normal genshin vids! i am also an artist so it really motivates me to draw after seeing ur vids
Me too, i cant really make art without motivation, but dish is one of the artists that motivate me the most
the second you decided to draw, you were already an artist. now you're just learning and practicing towards becoming a better artist. i've gotten so much joy from watching you progress. if the piece was challenging, then great because you learned something and your skills were really put to work. if the piece didn't challenge you, then cool because you've gotten into your flow. the boss illustration is really a culmination of what you've learned so far, and i think it turned out awesome. from start to finish, you created this and that's really something. keep it up, dish! ^^b

I’m so proud of you miss Dish and quite honestly you should start doing more Genshin art from now on! Hoyoverse will pay generously :3
I can definatly relate to this, especially the part about not liking the piece until the end. I spent like 3 weeks working on a TIghnari drawing because I kept wanting to edit it and make it perfect.

Doing these passion projects are good and you should do them often
*A begginer's tip, I hope you find it useful*
I advice you to draw rough draft first while coloring roughly to get light, shapes, color, values and everything down then I would advice you go for line art then it would be your choice to you to either do the color all over again or refine the existing ones, this method may takes time but its more helpful to not only improve but it helps in planing and finalizing before going all details so that if you can roughly see what you are going for and what parts of illustration needs change so you can improve further.
And don't go all details while coloring in rough stage, use shapes to show the forms, keep things skechy but helpful.
Color and light is really hard, I'm struggling with it too but this method eases the pain of coloring as our minds are not that great with details and things like that so we need to bring our ideas first in rough to make them better until we get experienced that is.
This was my opinion and personal experience with art and good luck with your future pieces

God. Imagine even 10 player raids on Genshin and just hearing: “I WILL HAVE ORDER” every second gives me a headache just thinking about it.

Still lifes are AMAZING as they help you really grasp the concept of space, lighting, volume, shading and just the basics overall😊. It doesn’t have to be super big and only needs a couple of objects, but it’s just a good way to practice your and hone your skills, HAVE LOTS OF FUN ON YOUR ARTISTIC JOURNEY🎉🎉❤
I have faith you'll become an awesome artist, always believe in yourself. Trust in your lines. they will guide you, not fail you
Dish is literally improving in art so much it’s beautiful! I love it, it’s very realistic and detailed! Amazing job ❤️❤️
You improved so fast! Great job, i love this piece and where the idea came from . You can really see how much passion went into it
This is so relatable 😂 Sometimes I have great art pieces, but when I keep on trying to create the same style over and over I just lose it hehe. I think I should pace myself and accept that not every artwork will be great.
I'm glad you like the result of your art! Happy for you dish! I think this is something all artists must realize that sometimes the good part is at the very end of the process, and in order to see it we must push through. I do admit that there are pieces that I did that I didn't like even after I finished it, but I never believed that I wasted that moment of my life. Every piece contributes to the improvement of my future artworks. Good luck to you too for your future art projects!
This was an amazing video!
Oh and that Lumine drawing was absolutely beautiful!
I think you get that feeling ONLY cause you're a content creator. It's healthy that you looked at Lumine and felt happy/satisfied about Lumine. In every craft, at every stage, it's normal to appreciate and be happy about what you can do now that you couldn't do before or you thought you couldn't do before!
I remember the excitement and joy when I started learning guitar and was able to play musical notes back to back that actually made a pleasant sound! Ik very basic and nothing impressive at all but I just thought "wait... I'm actually making pleasant sounds holy fuk am I really on my way to learn this instrument??!"
And then the incredible joy when you finally get quite good at strumming and you're like "damm I'm making music rn WHAT IS HAPPENING" and I know it's nothing impressive but that's what motivates artists to keep honing their skill - you only feel like "nah I'm nothing impressive" because you're thinking about your video and thinking "ofc with all these people watching, someone's probly gonna be waay better than me and what r they gonna thunk". But No - that doesn't take away from the impressiveness at all.
So be impressed and enjoy your progress! Maybe draw something comfortable as a break before jumping right into new territory or skill for the next phase!
And have fun with it! If you do, you're likely to stick to it and thus get better!
TBH .. The artwork is really amazing!
i couldn't believe it when i saw the illustration posted on dishcord - i'm just AMAZED with how far you've come! i've been drawing for quite a few years and while i know i've made progress, it's definitely been slow. seeing you have the motivation to take on such a challenging illustration, push through until the end and for it to come out that good?! i'm so happy to hear that you like the end result, because i definitely do haha - lumine in particular looks really good. anyway, good luck with the rest of your art journey ms dish! thank you always for posting these videos that inspire me and so many others❤
Your sense of perspective is so good!! When I was starting out this was something I REALLY struggled with, and something I still struggle with now. Thanks for sharing your journey with us!!
jesus, this artwork is fantastic ms dish! i'm so proud of your progress! it feels like it's been no time at all but you're already at a point where you can do these sorts of bigger projects AND with high quality work that, most importantly, YOU are satisfied with and that you like. i can't wait to see your future works!
as an artist, you’re improving extremely fast! i still struggle with perspectives like this, its extremely impressive.
This video is so inspiring especially for person like me who drops art/drawing for a long time. Thank you, Dish.
Getting a peek into this journey with you is a real blessing, especially as someone who has drawn for a long time and has gone through the same mind-steps as you are now. Thank you for sharing
You have improved so much, it's amazing. Your dedication to learning and understanding the process is definitely a big part of it!
I dont know anything about drawing on any program but I remember watching a graphics designer work from the side and he worked on a much larger scale and then scaled it down. Seems like it could make things easier.
DUDEEE
Firstly, this was honestly incredible, I’ve been drawing for like my whole life and that would have taken me like double the time to do-
And and anddd, you said something along the lines of “I’m finally becoming an artist I think” and after hearing that I felt like I really needed to say this,
YOU ARE AN ARTIST!! If you are making art and you enjoy doing it, regardless of how it looks or where you are in your art journey, you ARE an artist, all you need to do is have fun with what your doing. If it brings you joy and makes you happy when you do it, boom artist.
But honestly, all in all we are all more than proud of you, seeing where you’ve started and where you are now(NOT EVEN A YEAR YET MIND YOU)
(Also also, if you want to see more of the art and drawing process from other artists I recommend watching speedpaints on RUclips if you haven’t already, I used to watch a lot of them when I was younger and it really helped me a lot)
Dish, I am SO incredibly proud of you, you have grown so much so fast. I’m excited to see where you go from here
So proud dish I know this is late reply I’ve seen this before awhile back but just looking back really really gets to me on how much you improved and if you were ever to take art classes don’t think of progress as embarrassing moments if it’s not what you capture. Art can be used to be expressing our emotions and what we think of. But if your artwork dosent go to plan think of it as progression keep it to look back at think of it as “In the particular time It wasnt what I was expecting but looking back now I think I have made improvements” keep on going dish! You got this.
Hey hey! I like never comment on stuff, but from one beginner artist to another, your improvement is incredible! I remember watching the first episode of this series, that coincidentally came out a few months after I started my re-learning of art, and I was so happy to see a creator I like trying this whole art thing, especially at the same time as me.
And as someone who’s also taking a stab at digital art, I wanted to offer some tips or general advice I’ve discovered/learned from other art friends. Your style is really cool and this is by no means telling you what to do! Just some advice I thought you or anyone else reading this could appreciate!
Firstly, limiting yourself to just one brush for a whole piece is such a good idea. It forces you to think outside of the box and do things in a way you wouldn’t have thought to do otherwise, I’m honestly thinking of trying it myself. But don’t be afraid of those other brushes, they’re fun! I completely agree that the pure selection can be overwhelming, but just try using a few of them. You don’t have to make a full drawing with them, you don’t even need to make a drawing at all. You don’t even need to post it if you don’t want to, just experiment, play around with what procreate (or your drawing medium of choice) has to offer. It can be helpful to see your options, even if you never end up using them.
Secondly, and this is mostly for those who aren’t already posting their art somewhere, don’t be afraid to make stuff for you. And by that I mean make art that you don’t post anywhere. Show it to your parents, your significant other, your friends, your pets if you really want to, but do not post it on social media. It’ll take off a lot of the pressure to make every piece better than the last, and you won’t have to worry about outside judgement. Enjoy creating just for you.
Thirdly, this is a tip I got from another RUclipsr, make a comfort character. Someone with aspects you love to draw. Take all your favourite things to draw and slap them into one character. Like drawing curly hair? Enjoy designing complicated clothes? Big boots fun to draw? Put those all into a character, and don’t worry about if they’re “cringe” or a “Mary-Sue”. Make something that’s fun for you to draw, something you can pump out a quick doodle of when you have no other ideas. Again, create for you.
And finally, draw when you can. Most artists will tell you to draw one thing a day, and if you can? That’s amazing! But sometimes that’s daunting, especially if you don’t know how to draw yet, or don’t like what you draw. Just drawing whenever you can, whether that’s before work or school, during a break, at night before you go to bed, just try and draw something whenever you have free time, and don’t worry about whether it’s good or not. Drawing is enough.
This turned out a lot longer than I intended :’D but I hope it made sense, and again it’s all just suggestions
This as a raid boss would be so dope. Like the arm is the only moving part,. but the eye and arm are the dangers, and you and those who join you would be under the arm on this large platform created using dendro (perhaps made by Kusanali) so that you could explain away no damage to the surroundings.
It most likely won't happen, but we could DREAM. Incredible art Dish. I love it
It's beautiful, Miss Dish! Thank you for sharing this with us. Now you inspire me to do another artwork after a very looong time. Hope you'll find the art journey more enjoyable and rewarding in every finished piece.
dish has grown in art SO much and SO fast. good job!!
this is actually insanely good! amazing job :D
You're art reminds me so much of my esrly digital art, it's kinda refreshing tbh, especially when you make something you're proud of, because even though it's not perfect you still appreciate how far you've come.
Dish I love your drawing videos, they help me with anxiety a lot. You've improved so much, that ruin guard looks beautiful!!
The drawing came out so good! Even as an artist myself, I probably can't make something as nice as that. I'm not that good at landscapes and big things like that, I honestly really really love the result and I am so proud of you! You grew a lot and it looks awesome 👍
im just surprised at hiw fast she improved, awesome work!
This is so cool and heartwarming! As a teenager who loves to draw, seeing somebody pick up drawing again at a more...mature? point in their life brings me so much hope. I was always a little worried that life would catch up to me and I'd be forced to stop drawing once I got older. The fact that you started drawing again (and are improving!) is very motivational to me. Thank you, I wish you nothing but good luck with your art journey and I hope you win all your 50/50s! :D
As an artist that burnt out after getting really good at one thing and then suddenly stop improving this is helping me realize that I was improving because I was trying new things and I got too comfortable with a single thing. Honestly I think I might try doing the same thing you did here and try drawing Genshin landscapes a little 😊 also this turned out beautiful and I have seen so much improvement throughout this series And you are doing an amazing job!
watching your growth in art is so inspiring im so proud of you finding your style throughout this whole process ❤️
As an artist thats been in artblock for about 2 years, youre inspiring me to draw again! I'm very greatful for that, keep up the good work!!
DISH YOU'VE IMPROVED SO MUCH... i don't know if i have the right just bc im an artist but i feel so proud to see another artist grow and seeing your progress just makes me feel good bc i was once like this..like you..so ye..keep up the goodwork ms strimmer!
Aww I feel so proud! ❤
I really really want to be an artist when I’m older and seeing you progress gives me so much motivation to actually practice! Good job!
Thank you for sharing such wholesome, beautiful content, Dish. As always, your content makes me feel so comortable and happy. Loved the drawing
I'm honestly super impressed. I've been drawing for years yet you've already surpassed me with that full drawing! (Probably because I've never had a good digital drawing program and I can't render/shade...) but anyways keep up the great work
this is great!! no time spent drawing is ever wasted!! 💖just because it doesnt look how you imagined or how you wanted it, doesnt mean it will never get there and i'm glad to see you understand that because SO many people draw something and they dont like it and they give up right then and there. art is a skill like any other: practice, practice, practice. thats all there is to it : ) keep going!
I totally get what you're saying about coloring your work😅. I am always way happier with my sketch but, since I want to improve in art, I have to be vulnerable and go even further. I finished a piece this weekend that I had been drawing for some time and, for the first time in three years of drawing (let's say about fifteen to twenty pieces ) I was finally happy with what I accomplished!
It took me some time but it gave me so much joy that I started my next drawing the very next day 😊! It really pays off in the long-term!
you made so much progress, dish. you should be proud.
Feels like synchronicity stumbling upon your video. At a cross roads as someone whos drawn for almost 25 years, but never pursued it seriously, with an aim to get better and get work. Prb 2 or 3rd time the universe hollar'd at me to heed this words. Hope i make good on this chance..thanks
i love the way you put vimara village soundtrack as BGM cause i love that ost so much and thought i still on my game. and btw i love the result of your art, it is so beautiful and im jealous cause i cant even make my dream come true with drawing cause i cant draw....
Ah it looks so good! You’ve improved so much! Keep up the incredible work!
You drew something, it's great, you've progressed, you're happy with the result, you're constructive, striving to do more, taking breaks where you feel you need it, and above all, enjoying it.
Call yourself what you are Dish, you're an Artist!
Yeeess you had such a good point, good art takes TIME, so much time, just search how professional illustrators work A MONTH with a team on a single illustration, you are doing amazing and the only important thing at the end of the day is that you enjoy doing it
Heyyy Dish! I love your videos and your streams! You are my favorite Genshin RUclips by far! Tysm for the wonderful content!
It turned out so good! Your progress in such a short amount of time is amazing! Keep up the good work, Dish! ❤
Is so exciting seeing ur progress, the draw was so cool and about liking the line art more than the colored ver (thats what i understood)) of the draw came to me and maybe is the reason why i don't finish my draws tehe but its okay but again the draw is so damn cOOL, like u said comparing from the old vids this is really working! and im learning some things too which again learning kinda beside u is rlly nice, looking forward for more of ur draws and the ny vlog we luv u miss dish:))
This is so pretty wow! Also your insight on learning and not liking the piece at the start really resonated with me. I do exactly the same and it’s so nice to hear your advice on these types of things, it really helps! I am really enjoying these art videos too, I love watching when drawing :”) Please do keep these up!
BEST EPISODE SO FAR!!!! I cannot believe when I watch back first episode and then now its really "trust a proccess ! You inspired me to start drawing and i really got better just like you! thanks for motivation see ya in two weeks
You did so good! I’ve been drawing for years and to this day I still can’t quite wrap my head around environments. I love this piece so much.
I've been having a burn out for a little while now… and this boosted my motivation. Really good work, I see you improved alot!
You did amazingly, Dish! Coloring is incredibly hard at times and you’ve done a really nice job ❤ This is so pretty bro
It’s great! you’ve come very far, and your drawing skills have greatly improved since you started. Keep going, You’ll be a full blown artist in no time! ^^
So proud of how far you've come ms dish! Wonderful to see all this progress! Glad you're having fun with it!
Hii Dish! 💛 I just think that your drawing and your carism to that is soo wonderful and lovely!
this is literally such a beautiful piece of art, be very very proud of this, your progress is amazing
OMG I’M SO PROUD OF YOU ITS SO WONDERFUL CONGRATS!!!
It suprises me how this was pretty similar (in essence) with an experience I had back in october 2021.
randomly, i just got a burst of motivation and inspiration and started making progress on a big thing. i remember it being a drawn map of a game i know, too
but HOLY i could never complete something like this. It looks really good! (still working on completeing a full illustraton for once.. let's see if my motivsation melts before then)
The anniversary reward we've all been waiting for!!! Such an awesome work and so happy to see your journey and progress.
Hey just letting you know that I love keeping up with your art journey! it's so comforting to me to see because i'm also revisiting art and trying to improve my skills 😊💕 it looks awesome!
You did so good! You have improved so much and it looks amazing. One tip tho. When doing shading, use a multiply layer affect instead of just darkening the color by like, 20 or so %. And dont use black to shade when you do multiply. Use like a blueish color. But oh my god you have improved so much! :D
Miss dish you improved so much this looks so good, so happy you are enjoying drawing that will definitely help you make it a rutine
dish, when i saw the drawing on twitter at first i thought it was a screenshot from the game! the lighting is so good and it really does bring the whole picture together. i'm so proud of you!
I love your recent drawings! Thanks for sharing! Very motivating to watch! ♡
I definitely relate for the longest time I thought a lot of my fave artist just draw on a canvas and thats it, they make something amazing. But it turns outs I have to look for references, make a pinterest board, plan compositions, colorblock, do thumbnails, etc. before I can get to the actual drawing portion especially when its something elaborate. The pre-stage is definitely a pain and can be discouraging at first but its definitely worth it once you get to the final product.
Drawing, Erasing, redrawing, and using multiple references are all part of being a good artist 🙂
Dude... Your Giant Robot Dude looks friggin' cool. Add some ice flower (the one with ice stamen) on some mold clumps then when the Robot Dude has a rage mode, it melts it. Then washes away the mold, showing the original sheen of the Robot material it was made with
If that thing ever starts to move im turning around and never going back
