Watching Arcane as an artist is so difficult, it looks so damn good that it's distracting! I found myself paying more attention to the rendering etc and missing what was going on lol I was hoping someone could make a video about the painting techniques, so THANK YOU!
oooo i feel this so much. I cannot watch both the story and the artsyle at the same time, sometimes i end up rewatching some parts to see the other one two, or just to take screenshots of the absolutely beautiful scenes they have
@@annaszamborovszky8567 Every frame is an eyegasm. I'm just astonished the whole time watching, it's like 10-20 years ahead of where animation should be.
@@k0micazi yeah it really is masterclass of animation, 3D and 2D. It is pretty crazy to see that the show is animated in Maya and then all the textures and background elements are hand painted, as well as vfx. It is a great blend of classic principles with modern techniques.
This is actually so impressive. You're amazing, and yeah, this motivated me to try and do the same study (with my girl Vi tho hehe). Glad I found your channel!
I'm a beginner artist from Thailand, and I absolutely love your videos! They're so inspiring and bring me so much joy. Please keep creating more amazing content-I've already followed you!❤❤❤
The first thing I did after watching the first season was learning the art style by copying some stuff 1:1 !!! It's my favorite art style and animation style in the world. You can really learn the lot from the lighting, coloring, the clear face anatomy
Merci pour ta analyse, c'est três instructive About this series, what a beautiful art, and it's refreshing to watch so many female charismas being explored in actually strong characters, instead of men-hating feminists I felt the dramatic posings in the 2nd season got a little too much mojo, but it's still fun and involving
Very cool video and great work on the rendering! :) I will try this myself soon. And, I wil try to choose the colors by sight, no color picking. I noticed that actually seeing the colors infront of me will bring me the most understanding for my own future work, to implement better ambience and mood into my paintings. Have a great day!
Thank you so much! Yeah, choosing colors by sight is such a valuable skill and really helps with understanding light and mood. Wishing you the best with your practice, and I hope it goes well :)
I mainly used a standard round brush, along with another one with softer edges from Ross Draws' Graduation Pack tutorial. As for tips, I’d recommend experimenting with different settings and pressure to see what works best for you :)
@juliejoyart thank you so much! I'm having so much trouble working on the different tones of color and how to mix them up together. Hope you make a future video explaining how you do it and how is your Photoshop preset's organized. Would love to see your method 😊
I was learning drawing with a pen tablet on Photoshop. I'm good with sketching but having a hard time colouring with brushes. Can you share your brushes 😇
Yeah coloring takes time, but you’ll get the hang of it over time :) For this piece, I mostly used a standard round brush from Anthony Jones' brush pack (it’s pretty much the same as the default Photoshop one) and another one from Ross Draws' Graduation Pack tutorial.
I've been trying as well to study the art style, it's so beautiful. It's really hard though as I'm not really sure what brushes to use at what point ^^; Like it's hard for me to find the right balance between an area that needs blending and an area that needs sharper edges without making it look too smooth or too harsh. But that's why we practice I guess
Thank you! For this style, I actually think a soft brush might not be the best choice because of the many defined edges. I mostly used a standard round brush to better capture the look :)
And what is the point of this copying? What does the artist learn during such a frame redrawing? Perhaps this was said in the video, but I don’t understand English well, sorry. :"( So I would be very grateful if you wrote the answer to this question in text. It’s just that in my country any copying of anything is very strictly condemned, and even more so putting it on public display. Therefore, I am interested in the views of foreign artists on the topic of redrawing frames from any cartoons. (Sorry if the text sounds crooked. Google Translate helped me write it. I hope that the essence of my question remained clear). Good luck in your creative journey!♥
Don't worry, I think I get what you're saying :) For me, the main purpose of copying is to practice and learn. Even though it might look like I'm just copying on the surface, I'm actually deeply analyzing what I’m seeing. It's a way for me to improve my skills and develop a deeper understanding of this art form. With this particular piece, I focused on improving my brush control and rendering. Lately, I’ve been struggling with brush control, and this study has really helped me practice that :) Right now, I’m in a phase of my art journey where I really want to level up my skills. I’m not just doing copies, though: this is just one of many ways I practice. I’ll also be sharing more personal work in the future :) As a disclamer, I’m not claiming the original work as my own, nor am I selling it. This kind of practice is simply a valuable learning tool for me, not an attempt to steal or disrespect the original work. I hope this helps clarify things, and thanks for asking! Best of luck with your art journey as well! ;)
I mainly used two brushes: one is a standard round brush (I used one from Anthony Jones' brush package, but it's almost identical to the default Photoshop brush). The other is from the Graduation Pack tutorial by Ross Draws :)

I feel like my brush control has improved, which is something I’ve been focusing on. While copying alone isn’t enough, I think 1:1 studies like this can be valuable and fun every now and then :)
I like replicating artwork because it’s a great way for me to absorb the information. I’m not just copying mindlessly: trying to recreate something helps me really understand it :) But you’re right, just copying isn’t enough. It’s also important to apply what we learn to our own work, and that’s exactly what I’ll be doing in my next video. Stay tuned! ;)
This is a mostly a color study, not an anatomy or artstyle study. Why focus on trying to get the Stylization of the anatomy when she was mostly focusing on the colors? Ofc you don't have to trace if you don't want to, but tracing won't waste much of your time if you're just trying to learn how to color and paint specifically

Fr. I usually go back and rewatch some parts or pause to look at the lighting and stuff. I had the same problem when I first watched spiderverse too
You copied the style so perfectly, I’m astonished. I feel like I’m staring at a frame from the show.
Really nice to hear that! I tried my best :)
@ and the effort definitely shows! I could never (I suck at drawing). I aspire to be as good as you. 🫶
arcane really can teach aspiring artists and even pros a lot!!!
riot should hire you
Thank you, you're too kind :)
fortiche*
I’d usually agree but don’t Riot treat their staff badly? She deserves to be appreciated for her beautiful work
Fortiche ****
It’s insane how well you replicated the original. I find the Arcane artstyle hard to replicate sometimes, but you did such a good job on it!
Thank you! Wishing you the best with your practice, keep at it ;)
That's insane how good you are, I thought your copy was a real frame from the show.
You're too kind, thank you :)
Me too!
Your rendering is god-tier 😱
Ahaha thank you, you're too kind :)
You did such a great job replicating and using the Arcane style, thanks a lot for this! (im so happy to discover u ✨)
Thank you! I'm really glad you liked it :) and I appreciate your kind words ✨
This is absolutely incredible, I can't wait to see how do you apply this to your own characters!
love the transitions between the sections it really matched arcanes style!!
Thank you! :)
Beside the wonderfull outcome of your work. I think its so amazing how clean your workflow is. It really reflects your art knowledge!!
You're too kind, thank you! :)
It’s extremely impressive!
criminally underrated
Ahaha thank you, you're too kind!

So nice to hear that! Vi is awesome too ;) Thanks so much for the kind words!
Since I started using photoshop in school I admire photoshop artists sm
How can you make such piece of art using a programme like this
that's insane how good it is
You are very talented! Wow. Fortiche's style is indeed amazing, Im glad it is receiving more atention than ever
Yeah I completely agree, they’re doing an amazing job :)

Totally agree! The art is stunning, and it’s great to see strong female characters portrayed so well
I usually don’t comment on many videos but I HAD to tell you what a beautiful job you did! Amazing 😍
Thank you so much for your kind words!
Ngl, once I started watching Arcane my artstyle suddenly got good by copying-
wow this is amazing
Thank you!
Pretty darn awesome julie. Great job.
Thank you! :)

Thank you! I'm using the Cintiq 16 :)

I totally get that, I had the same issue. I think it’s just a matter of practicing a lot
What type of soft brush would you say is best for this style? Love the artwork, it’s an incredible study!!
Thank you! For this style, I actually think a soft brush might not be the best choice because of the many defined edges. I mostly used a standard round brush to better capture the look :)
@ ah thanks sm!! I look forward to your future posts!
Woah underrated, your work is amazing I wonder if we could collaborate.
Thank you so much! I'm currently focusing on solo projects, but I really appreciate you reaching out :) Wishing you the best with your work!

@@juliejoyart Thanks for the answer, everything is much clearer to me now
What are the brushes you have used for this?

You can start working on season 3 after season 2 is over
Season 2 is the last one... 😭 Arcane is over for good
@ I’m aware, that’s why I told her to start working on season 3 as a fan project, especially with this talent
Very interesting, as usual :)
Thank you! Glad you liked it :)
Amazing- what brushes did you use?
You can do the whole process with a hard round, a soft brush and a hard round opacity.
For this piece I mostly used a standard round brush from Anthony Jones' brush pack (pretty much the same as the default Photoshop one) and another one from Ross Draws' Graduation Pack tutorial :)
okay arcane detective
Here to uncover all the secrets 🔍
did you? or did you just improve your copying skills?
I feel like my brush control has improved, which is something I’ve been focusing on. While copying alone isn’t enough, I think 1:1 studies like this can be valuable and fun every now and then :)
this was great, btw julie are you italian?
You got me ;)
@@juliejoyart dajeeee forza italiaaaa, bello sapere che abbiamo artisti come te
I tried replicating a frame of jinx and got immediately humbled. All my art skills just gave up
It happened to me too when I started doing studies like this. But don’t get discouraged! Keep at it, and you’ll get there with practice :)
Why did you just trace and copy the frame? I thought you would analyze the style and apply it to your own work. What is the point of copying?
