With a lot of the art people send you it's very obvious that they're afraid to commit to contrast and hard shadows. Daring to really darken those shadows makes such a huge difference!
I make the lighting part of the painting from the beginning- probably after I map out the proportion the second step is putting down the darkest shadows and the lightest areas (I usually tone my entire canvas a mid tone color that suits the picture) that way you are building the entire image with correct color and proportion
It's a term used a lot in 3d modeling as well, particularly "ambient occlusion" or AO for short. It's the shadows that are always there no matter where your light source is!
It's very basic fundamental about "shadow occlusion", you can move to learn about reflective light also. I think you can watch about that from sinix design channel or proko. I forgot about where I learn about shadow occlusion first time, but practicing on drawing sphere than immediately jump into object is helpful
A personal tipp when choosing reference: Studio portraits/pictures taken with strong flash often lack clear Shadows, which makes it harder to beginners to understand how to shade. Choose references accordingly, if you're just starting out!
Black and white references are great, especially when you turn up contrast so you can see whats black, white or gray even better. Its super helpful. And it doesn't need to be a photo in color for you to paint/color it in color
If you like the learning aspect, these shorts don't include all the changes made. He posts and explains all the changes he makes on his Instagram Reels. For example, you can see how the nose is totally different in the before/after. Those things get more explanation on Reels.
My favorite thing is that pretty much everyone who sends you stuff already has a very solid foundation, but the critique they get is going to elevate them to the next level. You're such a wonderful teacher ❤
I literally learn every single short and I’m in the discord about to start watching the course 😍 I cannot believe how much I learn from your teaching style.
one thing i notice a lot when newer artists draw off a reference. is that they don’t actually draw off the reference. it’s clear that the nose shape is tilted, you can’t see the nostrils at all. yet they drew nostrils. always remember to draw what you see!
I like how you don't change the style of the piece, unlike many others who make these kinds of videos do unfortunately. You just fix the anatomy and the shading while explaining it clearly. ❤
Im begging you to make a video with multiple fan art fixations but with more details than these shorts (since these are only seconds long) because i can tell you also fix other aspects that arent shown until the end and arent that elaborated on. I would really appreciate it and I would definitely watch it!
before you make corrections i always think that the drawings are already super good(which they are of course) but you just show how much improvement can be added
I love how Angel actually gives real critique and doesn't change the artstyle of the drawing, I literally learned so much from him in a few days more than a year of art school 🙌🏻
It's not even criticism, it's critique. There is a difference. Criticism overall has a negative connotation, critique is given with the goal of uplifting and encouraging the person receiving it.
We get it, he doesn’t change the art style. He doesn’t changed anyone’s art style, people don’t need to repeat this fact every time we see him pick up a pen
This is the perfect feedback: appreciates the good, gives actually helpful advice and explains why. More people like this: it's not criticism, it's education 🔥
The original drawing was already so good! It really captured her essence and likeness!! I immediately said "Anya Taylor-Joy" in my mind when I saw it! And the edited version by this channel is great aswell! 😄
I am not an artist, I have no idea how to do a simple drawing, and I think I will never do it. But I really enjoy watching these videos, you made it look so easy, like a game of shadows and colors, is so interesting, I kinda want to try it. 👏👏👏
Dude I’ve been watching your videos back to back and I went to draw the other day and it was INSANE how I heard ur voice in my head and my drawing was so nice my mom loved it 😂I usually draw but i feel like I’ve been in a 5 year art block sometimes 🫠 but your videos help me get out of it and I’ll do a sketch every once in a while lol
I feel like the biggest “mistakes” in these videos were people being kinda scared to use too dark or too light colors. But just a little detail can improve the whole drawing. Amazing.
It always looks amazing at the start and im like how could you possibly improve this and when he compares it at the end its like woahhhhhhhhh, I don’t think this is the best example though
Haven't seen all your videos (yet) lol but if you haven't, can you make a video about your journey as a self taught artist? I'm really interested in how you've gotten such a great understanding of art rules and stuff and how you learned all this.
the hard thing is is that you changed SO many things off camera, darkened the hair and shaded it (which i would love to know more about), darkened the eyebrows, and shaded the neck, and the ear, and so many more things. it’s not only the slight changes he did
I'm new to your channel and I absolutely love it!! Such awesome explanations! And I love your iconic phrase "Did we improve this drowing? 🥺🥺🤨" at the end always XD
It is a definite improvement, but the og artist should look into facial anatomy a bit and also shade in the cheek bone and make the corner of the mouth sharper,

fr,its not as scary with my digital art but when im oil panting im so scared to take it there 😭
@@milk.8793 realll its so scary on trad art
Yeah, it's scary as shit... I often sweat when it's time to add shadows XD

I'm the opposite. I love shading and highlights, but I suck at proportions 💀
I now learned about occlusion, thank you for teaching us new things every day 🔥

Thank youuu!!❤@@TheLeafcuter

It’s basic fundamentals. You wouldn’t take this long to find out about occlusion shadows if you started learning art properly with still life studies.

Exactly! I look for strong shadows so it's easier
I immediately knew it was Anya Taylor jou
Samee
Who?😊
an actress @@lauarastrong3331
SAME
@@lauarastrong3331 you’re so outdated😊
"Did we improve this drawing?" Has quickly become on of my favourite things to hear, also yes is the answer every time
A big difference lighting can make! Thank you for teaching me these things! 🔥
Fixing the proportions is so satisfying to see
i like how he isn't criticizing people for struggling, and instead of just judging he helps us learn realism techniques:)
I am seriously beyond happy I stumbled upon your YT Channel because every time I see your reels/shorts, I learn a lot of things

Same plus I always stay till the the end to say Dwawing. 😅
this discord server is really nice! They’re all so kind and polite i love them so much 😭😭❤❤ thank you for creating a safe space for everybody!! 🙏🙏🙏
Do you mind sending me the discord 🥺
I keep trying to find it and I can't
If you could I'd really appreciate it!!
@@Dittosaur0_0 you can check out the long video of this channel in description !!
It’s so rare that someone is good at doing something AND explaining it! Completely separate skills. Great videos ❤
I love how you know what you are doing, and tell them what they did wrong instead of yell at them and be rude! Love your vids!❤😊
Just something I noticed but I found it cool that just adding proper shadows can make things seem more saturated! It’s really neat to me! :D

I like that you always find something good about the drawing ☺️ the appreciation to the effort is immaculate!!!
I really love how you explained the mistakes, showing us a reference, and then you show us how to fix it! I love you man!❤

I like how you compliment and teach artists
Amazing how she is immediately recognizable when u changed just a few things. Proportions are definitely important!
Wow!! I love the end results
New fav yt artist--learning so much just from these shorts :0
These vids are always so helpful
The improvement is crazy 🔥🔥🔥🔥

i luv ur content and helps me a lot in art, thank you so much for existing
Your videos are amazing 💗💗 thx for helping artists 💗
Youre amazing man fr
Considering I knew who it was supposed to be right away, that's a great start!
These shorts inspire me to draw so much because you explain it so well that it makes me more confident to draw!
That is amazing
❤
it really did look like anya taylor joy when i first saw the drawing so good for the artist
real!
I learned so much from your vids omg
its pretty good if you can tell its anya taylor joy before the fixes. although that might just be a testament to her very specific look.

I like watching you, because it helps my art and it teaches me big words! (I am das wordy person, love science talk)

You make it sound so easy 🥹
Mans be improving drawings
I love it❤
Bro knows EVERYTHING ON ART I don't know
It always looks amazing at the start and im like how could you possibly improve this and when he compares it at the end its like woahhhhhhhhh, I don’t think this is the best example though
You're smart 😊
Bro, I adore the way he says hair 😭
I love the “did we improve this drawWING”
Broo you're a magician
Soo good!!
Mashallah Anya-Taylor joy is so pretty
Atleast they succeded in making it actually look like anya taylor jay, alot of people fail in doing so.
im so so so close to quitting drawing and youre my only motivation to draw. i love you angel
I actually love the fact he didn't change the ENTIRE drawing like kooleen , he just did what the person ask for : the shading and the proportion.
❤❤
Haven't seen all your videos (yet) lol but if you haven't, can you make a video about your journey as a self taught artist? I'm really interested in how you've gotten such a great understanding of art rules and stuff and how you learned all this.
that went from being a good drawing to being drawn by a professional
Bro needs to be my art teacher
the hard thing is is that you changed SO many things off camera, darkened the hair and shaded it (which i would love to know more about), darkened the eyebrows, and shaded the neck, and the ear, and so many more things. it’s not only the slight changes he did
Thanks for My art!!😍
I feel that asking if you can improve the drawings is insulting at this point! U've made clear u absolutely can!
Bro take art into a whole different level My brain ain't braiding
I'm new to your channel and I absolutely love it!! Such awesome explanations! And I love your iconic phrase "Did we improve this drowing? 🥺🥺🤨" at the end always XD
I recognised the actress before watching the video, so that's a good start!
I'm amaze how much color and art theory can a person have and use it
I love how he mostly says and instead of but, it sounds a lot nicer
You know, he did a good job to have captured Anya Taylor Joy's likelness. Just a few touch ups, but I at least immediately recognized her.
Aaa I can't wait for my drawing to be featured, although my art isn't a close-up of the face so I doubt he will choose it
the way he says "drawing" tickles my brain😭
I've learned so much watching a few shorts than I have in art class at school
What i have learned from his videos is that understanding lighting is very very very important
Great music❤
Even if the drawing didn’t look exactly like the reference, I knew exactly who that was
I need this man as my art teacher😭😭
If Marco Bucci heard you call ambient occlusion "occlusion shadows" he would have a heart attack.
This is so helpful. I'm about to go back and redo all my art lol
I did know that it was Anya Taylor Joy at first glance! That’s great
He must be my art teacher fr
this dude explains more better than them art tutorials
Man became my art teacher💀
ANYA TAYLOR JOY OMG
Yo that oclusion shadow shit just blew my mind.
Tbh i liked the first one better but the second one has better shading
telling people they are amazing 60/100
Occlu-whatnow?..
You a genius
It is a definite improvement, but the og artist should look into facial anatomy a bit and also shade in the cheek bone and make the corner of the mouth sharper,
I could instantly tell who it was in the before photo, that's tough to do! Kudos
I’m subscribed
Subtle things that we don't notice on their own but when together, it makes a big difference.
"Did we improve this drawing?"
DAWG you litteraly transcend it!
"did we improve this drawing"
Me: YESSSS!!!!
I noticed you have a specific style of shading etc, does it have a name? Bc ive seen drawings with a similar style
Dude why are u so nice in shorts I want to hear ur roasts😭
i loveee anya taylor joy
