Whenever designing buildings I struggle, so I started doing them in Minecraft. it’s time consuming obviously, but it helps me so. 🤷🏼♀️
She made a video where she used minecraft for outdoor backgrounds!
I can't even make good stuff in mc either
I literally design in the Sims 4…
I've been meaning to try building in the Sims 4
I like decorating but I haven't actually built anything yet except for a small off the grid house lol
i did that too for my show's design, but since i'm kinda bad at building it didn't go very well lol
glad i still tried it tho
I basically never draw backgrounds or rooms or anything other than characters, but that floorplan hack looks fun as hell, I'll definitely give it a shot. Thanks for bringing it to my awareness.
Yeah same, Except I can't use the distort feature due to using 🌠pencils & markers🌠
Yea backgrounds are hella tedious but admittedly worth it, in the end.
@@StellarSaturn7440 ahahahahahahahahah get wrecked
Wolar sans 😳
Same, I’m a character designer 💀
THE PERSPECTIVE ONES IM??????? I FEEL LIKE I LEARNED MAGIC??????????? THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SHARING!!!!!!!!!
ITS SO USEFUL OHDAMN
YESSS WE JUST LEARNED FORBIDDEN MAGIC FROM THE UNDERWORLD
WHY ARE WE SHOUTING
IKR????? I LITERALLY TRIED 3 YEARS TO DRAW SIMPLE ROOM WITHOUT A SUCCESS AND NOW??????
ITS LIFE CHANGING
Not a big fan of the other hacks until we got to the room layout hack thing
AND DUDE
I need to try that one out when I can
LEgit I love that
Edit: that doesn’t mean I didn’t love the other ones tho! The whole video was a great learning experience
Same, honestly this might be one of the first drawing tips I've ever found genuinely super useful!
SAMEEE
drawing furniture and rooms is so hard for me because of all the proportions and stuff, i can't wait to try that
Same! I'm so using that for my comic once I start it! I might make a video on *tips for drawing layouts* and if I do this is SO going in that video
@@Roseberry606 yes same. Drawing anything that isn't a human (and limbs) is hard for me so this will definitely help!
I know right, I need to draw a room now!!
That interior drawing lifehack really made Planchette's room come to life 😳😳😳
I. KNOW!!!
whos planchette?

The thing with perspective that I learned in art school from one of my fav professors was “if it looks right, it is right” It doesn’t need to perfect, as long as it looks close and not awkward it’s fine, no one will notice.
legit one of the best pieces of advice a teacher could give man, so many of us are gonna fixate on it not being 100% accurate when no one else will even notice
that is... such terrible advice 😭😭😭
@@holless Nope, it's not, if you are not studying to be an architect, you don't need to make everything perfect, the big difference between technical and artistic stuff is the aesthetic, the aesthetic could be using the wrong dimensions, but if it looks okay and you are not planning on making it a real house, that all you need.
Work smarter
@@zappers8027 no, it's bad advice. i do see the point y'all are trying to make, and i actually agree that it's best not to hyperfixate on tiny flaws! but that's *bad advice,* because amateur artists hear that and their drive toward perfection is immediately stunted. an obsession with perfection is unhealthy and a waste of time - but the goal of perfection drives virtually all improvement. i'm speaking from experience both as an artist and an instructor. insisting to beginning artists that close approximations are to strive for, and whatever you wind up with is just "good enough," leads to *total* stagnation. often for years. *speaking from experience.*
you're welcome to disagree, it's an admittedly esoteric concept that advice can be both somewhat accurate, but damaging to offer. but it's literally just true that artists who begin pieces with the idea that every piece will be not only the best they've ever made, but as close to perfection as they can get - those are the artists who improve in leaps and bounds.
@@holless i would argue that teaching beginner artists to strive for "perfection" is even less helpful Looking for "perfection" all the time is only going to dissuade and discourage them as they struggle to make things looks exactly the way they envision.
On the other hand, making something look convincing and close enough is much more doable and honestly preferable. Most people who consume art fill in the blanks without even realising it. Little imperfections are not a huge deal.
Beginners should strive to be as accurate as possible, but not to be perfect. As long as it looks good it's fine. "Perfection" is a trap and not even professional artists meet that impossible standard.
I've never thought I would hear Lavendertowne say "it slaps" and I'm very happy I did.

Completely agree ^_^
Never heard anyone say that except black people and I don't even use that phrase lol
@@lovingbritt it’s definitely aave, although you can still say it if ur not black. as long as you aren’t trying to have a “black-cent” and be racist (this includes calling aave “twitter/gen z slang”) then you’re fine
“Obnoxious mathy bs” is the truest thing ever when making backgrounds. 😂

the fact that she said BS made me laugh.
@@YuRensie something about Lavender saying BS threw me off more than what happens after being on the plank

Yep
when i have a whole tiktok favourites folder full of these that i forget to look at lol
Nice pfp

... You can make folders!?
i just favorited any seemingly funny thing, so my favorites folder was basically a second like page
@@mikethegoo yes and i have a million- it was in an update but on my iPad you can’t but on my phone you can.
I love seeing everyone collectively lose their minds about the perspective hack
It’s very funny to me, bc I made it lol
@ConfusedSwedee wait you are the one who made he original tiktok??
@ConfusedSwedee ok but I have a question can you use the perspective hack while drawing traditionally??
@@justajobro1266 yes that me! And yes you can, but you won’t be able to “pull the image into the desired shape” so I advise using a two or three point perspective to help figure out how you want it to look. It’s definitely harder traditionally but it can be done!
@@confusedswedee5411 oh thank you! Although I don't use digital much that looks like a great hack!
Shes actually my favorite artist:( i ADORE HER STYLE
NO! NO! NO! Many people say I am sick in the head. NOOOO!!!! I don't believe them. But there are so many people commenting this stuff on my videos, that I have 1% doubt. So I have to ask you right now: Do you think I am sick in the head? Thanks for helping, my dear q3
@@AxxLAfriku You ok?
@@AxxLAfriku Yes, I do think you need therapy, get some help.
@@AxxLAfriku
yes
@@AxxLAfriku you need help.
The second tip is actually how I always work! Just like the person that started it, whenever I do actual, clean lineart, it ruins the drawing. My lineart is literally just the refined sketch!
But holy hell! That third tip with the perspective is absolutely amazing! As an artist who is cursed with having difficulty visualizing 2d drawings in 3d, this tip is gonna be a lifesaver for backgrounds!
I cant wait to try the second one, i have trouble with lineart as well.
@@minor4890 And unlike LavenderTowne, if you enjoy that kind of workflow enough, and it's beneficial for your specific style, you learn to cope with the extra time it takes to color :/
@@TheMagicPinecone the second tip is how I work too!
Literally one of the best things I’ve ever drawn was drawn like that.
@@arcadeii question, what color do you do for your sketches? cause i usually just do black but i feel like that wouldnt work too well
When you only do traditional art, and distort tools don't exist on paper: but that looked so useful...*sad face*
Ikr..
Me 😭
You could draw the room layout on paper, place it on a table and then look at it from different angles/take a picture of a good angle - then use that picture as a reference to use for your 3D drawing!
A similar way is drawing the floorpan, putting down a string around it and messing with the string, then doing a second sketch following the new outline created by the string
@@AnimeFan6969 that's actually such a good idea I'm-
Something I learned from art school about stairs: Each stair has its own perspective/horizon point.
So making a spiral staircase would be problematic with the perspective method but it's still an amazing hack for everything else
that's probably why they're so hard to draw 😭 thanks for the info, that's actually really helpful :) /gen
Dude that perspective hack! *Cries in traditional art*
I feel you.
I know😭 anybody have trad art perspective tip/hacks?
Something that you could do is print out the page and attempt the hack! After doing the sketch, you could transfer it onto the paper that you want it on.
@@ayaneagano6059 ooh I might try that! I live in fear of back grounds. . .
@@graaceie It’s a really helpful method for drawing backgrounds when you want to do it traditionally! It gives you a bit more leeway with the artwork, especially if you print it multiple times.
I’m also not the best at interior backgrounds. I mean, I learned to draw in perspective in the 8th grade and can technically _do_ a background, but when you’re trying to do a comic, I can’t be as slow as I am to draw them or else the comic will take unnecessarily long to finish.
What’s really slow for me is the actual thought process. When I recently did a background, it was thinking up of this character’s kitchen _and_ the perspective that made me take so long to think of things. If I draw a BG from a reference, it’s easy, when I’m coming up with it on my own, I find that I’m really uncreative.
This method can really help because with that, I can _just_ think about the room or the design of the BG, and then putting it into perspective is just executing that. This tip is going to save so much time!
As a traditional artist I’m crying rn
I feel you, cant do the persepctive thingy which i was really lookinqg forward to :'D
Ikr... Please gimme tablet mom T_T
@@bazzxliner can't you use a phone or computer?
rip
You still need someone to spend money on buyinf you a good drawing tablet
These are pretty cool hacks! I'll have to try them out later!

@@imspooky5269 ye!
Susflowers
Ok I'll stop
It does and when you remove the bottom one it looks like...something I don't wanna say!
3:08 I use a similar method but instead of using a darker color on first sketch, I just make my sketch cleaner and then make it darker. It's really fun! (TennelleFlowers also uses it)
i thought i was crazy, and the only one using this method-
Ugh tysm for this, ive been trying to fix up my art style, i love my style but its the problem i have with.. action. I make "flat" visuals and stuff. On one of my already made art pieces, i tried the "lineart" advice and it completely worked out, it looked so good!
Right??? I was just talking yesterday about how I wish my art had something distinctive about it, and I think this might be the first step... I can't wait to try it out later today :0
SAMEEEE I love how it looks in my style ♥️♥️
@@frostedfirefly same!
I don't know if this works for everyone, but for the second one, you might want to outline the area you want to color. Then turn off layer visibility for the line art, fill in the area you outlined and tada!
For me it helps with the coloring issue in procreate although sometimes it can be just as time consuming.
Sorry if it wasn't that helpful...
Wow I didn't think about that, thanks!
That would definitely help when using that method thanks for the tip :)
This seems helpful imma try it
Commenting on this so hopefully it gets pushed up in the comment section because I thought the same thing and I'd hate for people to struggle with the coloring with that hack
I had a random (yet cute) idea for a turning things into characters video! I would love to see you turn different types of mushrooms into characters, for example, the Inkcap mushroom could be a more stoic character that wears darker clothes and carries a parasol that looks to be dripping with ink. (in correlation with the mushroom!)
On the second one, a way she could work around that issue is to color in a block color below the line and sketch, then use the bucket tool!
Seeing your artstyle makes me so happy 😖
Nice pfp
@@insertusernamehere3173 lol thanks
Samee
i see you everywhere
well not everywhere but a lot
@Minaa okite a
for the first one, those aren’t “very thin” eyebrows, i think they were just eyelines
yeah, they looked like double eyelids to me
yes i also thought it was just eyelids
The room thing is something I'm gonna have to try soon cause shit. I wanna to make awebtoon but I suck at architecture and perspective so I'm really hoping this will work
︵‿︵(´ ͡༎ຶ ͜ʖ ͡༎ຶ `)︵‿︵
Edit: I tried it and as someone who perspective sucks like shit and can't draw backgrounds decently to save my life. It works fUckIng WONDERS. My attempt wasn't that great and I'm still working on it but honestly it's an art hack I would actually start using for backgrounds n' shit
Me too! I’m too lazy to make 3D models for all the recurring backgrounds
Good luck with your webtoon!
Same omfg hours shall be wasted no more!
Me too but o suck at all art and the perspective one was too hard
Me too like I have a semi story planned out but I need way more practice my art first
we gotta appreciate how consistent haley's uploading schedule is. right when i'm feeling bored, she posts and always manages to make my day significantly better 😊
Yes, it's so great! Now with the webcomic on the other hand... (JK, I know you can't rush ideas and good art. She should go at her own pace)
I hate drawing backgrounds and rooms more than anything but I tried the perspective thing and??? I'm??? Rooms are fun now somehow????? it's literally magic I swear
The hack at 7 minutes can also be used to re-create the same room you had before, if you keep the floor plan as a reference. You can just copy it and re-distort it to give a different perspective.
The foot hack might be a good/semi-good starting point. Might work better if you're using a reference for how the angling of the foot shapes the look of the sole.
The floorplan hack can literally give you the power to make Ref-Sheets for specific rooms, or an efing house.
Sooo uh- on the tiktok vid you made with the magical girl and the rat?? Yeah I got inspired and ended up making a new oc from the rat with wings, and a couple months later I got this HUGE story and it made me super happy during some rough times, so thanks for drawing that flying rat!! Without it my story/ocs probably wouldn’t be as great as they are now haha- it just meant a lot to me ;-;
Ok gonna watch the video now 👌
was that a video I didn't watch???? How is that possible
hannah I mean, it's got a purplely-pink magical girl on the thumbnail, so- on her RUclips :']
hmm how old is it?
nvm found it, I had seen it I just have a bad memory 😅
hannah SAME it wasn't even that long ago and I completely forgot everything but that one drawing in that video lol
So many cute animatics in the intro,, waaa- there's so much effort in your videos I love it!!
For the second one, my friend does that kind of thing and it turns out pretty good. Her style is more realistic, so I think this works with more realistic styles
Little tip with the floor plan method for the comic artist out there save you floor plans separately so you can reuse them late for better consistency and to make the process quicker
“the interior hack is so useful you should use it it’s so good”
*cries in traditional artist*
Really interesting one I've seen that apparently Mangakas use is like they draw out a paper sketch floor/wall plan, and fold it into like a flat paper doll house. You could then take pictures at different angles, folding down the walls, etc. And like. I imagine if ur gonna be drawing a room over and over this would be helpful. Also you could like trace over a digital picture of it. That probably doesn't make sense, if you want me to try to find the post i can send it to you.
@@emmaryartistry2874 thanks for the recommendation! i actually just bought myself a digital tablet recently though (i’m very excited) so hopefully i’ll get the chance to use this hack- although if i’m being honest i don’t draw nearly enough backgrounds so i probably won’t- also i really like your pfp!! :]
I tried that room layout one, AND IVE NEVER BEEN SO PROUD OF MYSELF!!! I can’t ever draw rooms, then I tried it and I’m sooo happy!!!
I can't help seeing how dangerously close is it between the desk chair and the stairs. 😬
imagine tipping your chair back too far and you suddenly remember there are stairs like a foot behind you
Omg that's all I could think about haha
@@hi-prism Close-

I gotta use that floor plan trick. I've always wanted to design like rooms and stuff for my characters. But I suck at interiors. So I hope that helps lol.
(Edit)
This helped a ton! Oh my god you have to try this.
I tried it and it is SOO helpful ahhhh
Imma need to try dis!
For the second one, I 100% agree that it depends on the art style- I have a more cartoony style and a more anime style, and it didn’t work well at ALL with my anime style, but it looks amazing on my more cartoony one!
the second hack is literally what I do because I'm too lazy to make a stylized lineart, so I just "fix" the sketch a bit and use it as a lineart. I've been doing it like this for like... two or three years and I love it.
POV: You're learning how to draw perspective when you realize that you can't use the hack on paper... DX
For art hack #3 where you transform a flat image into a 3D plain, architects/interior designers use this technique a lot. I can say that it is a technique that works based on what I've seen (and tried to do). It's the matter of doing it right because you wanna get the scale correct and all that.
Definitely going to try out the interior lifehack for designing a character's bedroom sometime soon
LavenderTowne at 1:21 : The eye brow is ridiculously close to the eye
Me: *confused* isn’t that the eyelid?
the perspective with interior designs one was so helpful, im so bad at drawing indoors and this is definitely gonna help
Omg the perspective one was something like a dream, I really love drawing interiors but I do struggle with them, so seeing that was absolute magic! I'm definitely gonna use it now!!!
That second one just seems like digital painting, but that BG one, OMG!!!! I MUST
The perspective ones look extremely helpful! I can’t wait to try the interior hack :0
Your art is really cute and I’ve read your comic “Unfamiliar” so many times oh and also you were the first person I subscribed to so guess that’s an achievement of some sort :3
I usually just do a sketch, clean it up a bit, then turn on alpha lock and make it dark.
wait i gotta try that
Haley- I had to fill everything in by hand with this technique
Me: *confused traditional artist noises* What like its hard?
I fill everything out by hand all the time I use an app that doesn't have a good fill tool and it doesn't get the edges of stuff and also sometimes stuff looks nicer with fading lines so I always fill it in by hand.
I am a proud ✨ both ✨ artist
The bedroom looks so absolutely amazing and fabulous but I noticed that the computer set up is in front of the stairs so if Planchette was to lean back to far back on the stool…🧿👄🧿 uh no. 11:16
I wasn't going to charge my about-to-die phone seeing as it's 4am but this is worth it
Anything for art!! ✊🏾 Draw til you pass out!
@@habitualaddictionstudios thank you that was very motivational ✋🏽
Best assignment I had for learning perspective was to pick a spot in my college and draw it using both traditional still life drawing techniques and perspective drawing techniques. It's mind blowing to see perspective working in real life and really helps show you all the places to use those techniques and how it in and of itself is the ultimate drawing hack. Took a long time, but was really cool.
I can't be the only one that thought those cicles were in a.. really lovely formation..
You weren't the only one 😳
What did social media do to me...
Yep your weren’t the only one
The internet has ruined me-
-ahaha song reference aaaa-
What.....
WAIT
The room spacing one genuinely giddy because of how much i struggle with them, thank you for sharing it!
The building hack is one of the best -of all types- I have seen. I used it and my rooms are amazing, and fun to draw. I struggle with perspective like crazy, and it was super useful! 10/10 in my opinion!
The second one is like something I do! I hate lineart so I just don't do it. I refine my sketch and go straight to coloring. I also like coloring a lot and I don't like using the fill bucket so it works great :D
She makes it better !!! I LOVE HER STYLE ITS SO CUTE AND SHE IS AMZING AT ART!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
3:51
me staring at the dot for a whole 4 seconds until she erased it:
👁👁
I actually love the coloring process, fill buckets feel so annoying to me, the sketch-lineart combination in one layer works so well with my art
Depending on my resting expression at the time, my eyebrows can be low enough that they just barely overlap with my eyes. From my 1st person perspective, I can actually often see my own eyebrows when I look up. Though, like how you explained, they still go beyond the corners of my eyes, not on the inner side, but on the outer side. Today I learned that the inner side of my eyebrows line up with the inner corner of my eyes.
i dont really know what it is but i find lavendertownes current art style so cute
0:09 ummmmmmm 👀
Sus
hehehe pp
Why I won’t to the comments :)
2:40 This artist is absolutely amazing I use this trick on pretty much almost all of my art and I just love keeping my sketch on but the thing that I do different is that I put my liner on a different layer and I usually do something to make the sketch little little more interesting and it just makes it a lot cooler and a lot more fun! So it’s a great hack!
the perspective one looks amazing, as a person that struggles with drawing rooms so so much
If you hadn't mentioned you have trouble with spatial awareness and turning things in your head, I would ever have known. I struggle with that, too, so it was heartening to see someone else with the same issue who turns out such wonderful art!
Video idea: redrawing unfamiliar fanart
I think your art style is naturally fluid, because your lineart is less “planned” and more confidently drawn. I used to have very consistently stiff lineart, but I started using my sketch in the final piece and it definitely helped keep the dynamics!
Maybe you should add for digital art in the title since most of them can't be done without software.
I have never truly done line art. It's always been the sketch, and I've always liked the look and texture of the pencil brush, and I've spent so long doing physical art.
The second one is one I've been doing for a while ~ I tend to sketch very cleanly to the point that I decided that there's no point in doing lineart. I just clean up the sketch, and there you go! I honestly wonder how I did lineart before,,,
That perspective trick one was actually pretty awesome! But the others just feel like the artist may not under the basics of what they’re doing and are just looking for quick fixes.
I feel like the first one is almost on the right track, the distance between your eyes is one eye length, but I think they made the nose and, as you said, eyebrows too small.
Oooo OOo do you critique?? I wouldn’t mind if you critiqued my work. 🤷🏾♂️ Shit would be cool!😬
The floorplan one made so much sense and I genuinely feel my mind blown
This is uploaded at the perfect time, I’ll have nothing to do later so I’ll try these! Ty!
I just tried the floor plan hack and WOW it’s changed my mind about drawing backgrounds!! I always hated drawing backgrounds especially bedrooms and the floor plan hack helped so much and was really fun to use, I was a bit confused at first but after playing around i got the hang of it, I definitely recommend
6:56 this is such a good one!
the perspective hack sounds absolutely amazing. i’ll definitely give it a shot when i’m in the mood to try out interior sketches
8:00 that hack is the best thing that ever happened to me
Oh I LOVE that perspective room hack!!! I learned point perspectives in my community college art class and it takes such a long time, so much use of the ruler and making sure measurements are right... This looks really fun and easy to use. I definitely want to try it out next time I draw
while i love these, as someone who mainly works with traditional art these can be quite useless haha
That layout hack is AWESOME! I actually tried sketching a forest scene using it, and it's helpful even there! Sketch out the placement of trees, where the roots are going, bushes, rocks, all those fun forest things. You could probably do caves the same way. It doesn't just have to be building interiors. :)
idk what to say i love ur content and am about to come back to patreon!
YOUR NAME THO
4:10 dint know if you see this but if you feel it doesn’t fill enough when you fill you hold down until a blue line shows in the top and you can adjust the flood
Ima early for once and I want to say that you motivate me to draw whenever I’m feeling down on my art and I really like your style and you should be proud for how far you have come 💛
That room layout hack is a revolutionary discovery to me
Just got the notification! Love your art vids 😊
the first art hack was actually taught to me in art class, the only difference is the eyebrows aren't supposed to be added using the circles
10:30 hahahahah refresh your perspective on perspectives-
6:21
IVE BEEN LOOKING FOR THIS FOR REAL LONG TIME! THANK UUUU🥲
The thumbnail; E X I S T S
Me; *Fan girl squeals over the art on **-my attempt-*
OMG!! The Interior Hack really works well!! I usually do closeup shots to avoid drawing so much detail on my characters rooms, but this hack really help me so much 😭😭😭
5:20 it looks oike there are animal skulls on her shoulders, I like that
Yeah
I always draw everything on 1/2 layers, and it always makes me laugh when people asks me how I do it lol, i just like a sketchy/messy finish ✨
13:00 taken out of context this is hilarious
lol
I like how most of the traditional artists doesn't even have to try hard for thw second one.
Like, for example i do it everytime i draw, i can't do it other way.
For the circle/face one maybe the "eyebrows" are supposed to be the eye creases
Dude that perspective tip looks like a real game changer for my sketch’s I’m 200% trying it!!
is it just me or 0:35 lookin kinda sus
pp
What's interesting is that I already sorta do the second tip! I don't do lineart on another layer, I just refine my sketch by going over it with a pencil tool to create depth and different opacities on different parts of the drawing! I dont really enjoy lineart much, but the way I draw now makes it fun
