I actually love drawing small details in the background. tip: assign a Pinterest aesthetic to your character, then see what objects/colors/etc. to base your backgrounds off of.
@Happy thoughts people group stuff you like into aesthetics, like cottagecore or dark acidamia. there is a list of aesthetics on the aesthetic wiki page :)
I've been drawing a geometric pattern on a really flowy piece of fabric for Giyuu from demon slayer and I still can't figure out how to make it follow the folds please this tutorial would be great
Try drawing a grid pattern first so you can add the floral pattern one grid at a time! I find it's a bit easier to keep everything proportional that way
Ironic timing considering I’m drawing an entire world that involves a ton of props and objects. Lots of swords, so thank you for unknowingly helping me!
This vid will really help me cuz' I was about to start drawing Kung Fu Wa fanart about (EPISODE 52 SPOILER ALERT) Hao Xiue mournig the loss of his sword and TZ comforting him

Same tho, I just decided to get rid of all of my mini story’s and now I’m replacing them with a ‘big boi’ story and I really need it to be good or else I’ll feel bad 😞
The main thing I've learned from Haley's videos is that the best way to learn art is to mix technique and skill with fun. Haley (from what I can tell) loves character design, so when she learns things like object and environment drawing, she approaches it with the same attitude she takes to character designing. She attacks it from an angle that is fun and enjoyable for her, while still taking it seriously enough to put a lot of effort in and use references and technique.
Between you and DrawingWithWaffles I genuinely feel like I could learn to draw for myself. I was told my whole life that being an artist was something that you're either born knowing or you will ultimately fail at. And despite my knowing that my family were terrible and abusive towards me, it's really hard to overcome that kind of engrained messaging as an adult. I guess my point is that I wanted to thank you for videos like these. Breaking down the thought process behind how to draw something, rather than "draw some shapes with these lines and then turn it into a person." It really helps me learn how to think about drawing.
I'm someone who also thought that drawing was some sort of talent you had to be born with, and that's kept me from doing art for years. Four years or so ago though I actually tried, and of course my drawings up until not so long ago sucked, but now I'm actually really happy with them. They're by no means perfect nor professional but I'm getting there. What I'm trying to say here is- if you love art, I fully encourage you to try it out. If I've discovered something these years is that talent and failure are completely fake when it comes to art. I had no idea what I was doing when I first started but i've been learning ever since, and every awful drawing that i made before is what got me to where i am today, because I wouldn't have learned if my frustration and dissspointment in my abilities made me quit I really hope you manage to overcome the feeling of not being fit for drawing that was ingrained into you, I'm sure you'll eventually get there :>
I have a friend who is relatively new to drawing, and there is definitely a lot of skill involved (and a little bit of talent), but even she has improved and she's only been drawing for... half a year? Her skill level is still a little low, but I mean... half a year and that only besides school is not a lot of time, but she still improved quite a bit. You can do it! :3
Art is a skill, not a sole talent. I cannot express how much it bugs me when people call me talented, I'm not talented, I studied and it paid off. You have the ability to be an amazing artist! I recommend you watch some videos by Ethan Becker, he is an amazing artist and explainer-doodle-doo. If you have Discord (Floppy#9037), could you show me some of your art? I bet it'll be amazing!
You’ve said this before in another video but I’m glad you kinda mentioned it again For people who prefer to do character designs and hate drawing architecture or objects, it helps a lot to think of it *as* a character or how a specific character would influence the thing you’re drawing _really really_ helps. I’m more of a character drawer and I hated drawing objects and rooms for my comic but now it’s gotten a lot more fun and easy _just_ from that simple shift of mindset.
I'm writing a book but part of the structure of the novel is that there are random comic sections inbetween the chapters, so your videos really help, thanks 🧡
I’m literally the opposite. I use to alway draw girls and I loved it. But now I tend to draw guys out of instinct when playing around or style testing.
Awe, you should do what you want to do. Don’t pressure yourself simply because you “should” be drawing. (Unless that’s something you need to do) :3 Also, skateboarding is literally so epic, I wish I could do it, but I’d break my neck Immediately so maybe not now. 😅
When I was a kid I would look at this one RUclips’s drawings and copy them, I now realize as I’m older that I actually started art the RIght way without noticing...bc artist always say to use references in the beginning and little old me never knew aha
Do not use being an artist of _blank_ as an excuse for not wanting to learn _blank_ . Amusement thrives from growth. If you keep doing things in your comfort zone you will eventually get bored and quit.
@@3F34N1M4T3SI feel like that's everyone's excuse to why they don't draw xyz because they only can draw xyz and that also annoys me as someone who's learning
@@frog6306 i feel that way alot, since her voice is just so soothing. But i won't be able to focus on the drawing nor the video if i give one more attention.
Remember nothing is ugly, it’s just a different way of showing emotion. Maybe you’re angry, that may be why it’s scribbly, etc just we all have a different way of drawing 0-0
If you’re designing props for a character, it is fun to think about how you’re not just designing some random boring object. You’re designing an important part of that character’s life. Maybe this is an object they carry with them because of how much they use it and need it. So it’s good to give it a lot of detail!
me: i love drawing its so fun! talented people: you know i do have some trouble with swords me: me, who can't even draw a straight line: well okay this is why i write my plot holes: am i a joke to you?
she doesnt even know how much she is helping so many young artists to get out of habits but she also is just so inspiring and not to mention her art is just incredible!
You don’t have a idea, HOW MUCH the tip about looking up references of the things you are drawing helped me ( I’m I new artist, so things like doing the circles and lines to get a good drawing, seem very hard and boring to me but now that I use references and someday I probably accept that I have to do the basics to grow more! I know how things like you said are important so thanks :) ) so thanks you so much lavender town you and videos are just making my art get better with this kind of good advice !! :)
Yeah, knowing why things are they way they are and how they works helps, I often see cars, guns, aircraft and such drawn in ways that it's clear that the artist noticed certain design elements but doesn't know the reason for them so they end up misplaced or wrong size etc.
I love how lavendertowne’s tips are more of a guideline that you can add your own style to that is where as some other artists will just tell you not to do a certain style cause they think it looks bad.
I found this really useful for designing my OC's armour. Generally I wouldn't have thought of thinning the lines where it's sharper and adding the more personal touches, and I wouldn't have used any refs, but this video's advice changed that and I'm really proud of the end result.
This was seriously *perfect* timing, I'm trying to draw my dnd character with a bunch of her stuff and I was having a hard time figuring out how to draw the objects around her, thank you sooooo much!
7:26 The first one looks like a toy/training sword, the second looks like a proper sword that you'd use to fight. It's cool how even the slightest changes can massively affect the appearance of a piece of art.
I feel like a just got a gift from the gods, this is just what I needed because I was actually gonna start designing props for my story and I was worried about it so thank you oh so much 😭❤️
that last one really helped! im planning on making a webtoon as well, so the last bit and first bit really heled, because a.) im making characters very much based on aesthetics (has to do with the first one), b.) i have a character who is basically a wanderer (for a reason), so the last one helped with the composition on what she'd have with her! thank you so much, lavendertowne!

This was such a nice video ~ Im studying Industrial Design, so drawing and designing objects is basically my life haha but it's nice to see a video sharing the simpler, comfy side of it that one can apply to illustrations and comics. I hope more people find joy in drawing objects, as they are a really important part of our lives!
I’m WAY better at drawing the donts than the do’s Edit: yea I know I should just practice but I’m lazy imma just draw this same person over and over just lifting one arm Edit 2: you know this comment was a joke...right...?
I have aphantasia which means I think in descriptions and not pictures. Using reference more has helped so much. My tattoo artist told me he draws photo reference to draw practice work to help with stylise normal situations. It's a great tip.
these helped a lot! i like the idea of separating the sketch, it makes sense :) I've actually been multi-referencing with drawing for a while now! that technique works well with doing fanart of characters too
you should try and do a series’s where you take a musical and compare it a book or movie it’s based off or a book or movie adaptation that was made of it for example heathers the musical and the movie and be more chills book and musical
i'm not entirely sure it you've done this before, but how about a draw this, not that about costume design? i'm always partial to giving up and drawing half of my characters in overalls just because i can't think of a good idea for an outfit :'D
THANK YOU FOR THIS I NEED IT!!!! I have a character who uses needle nose pliers as a weapon and I struggle with consistency and memorability (they’re not completely designed yet) and just generally trying to make them look good
LOVED seeing Planchette in art styles outside of your comic style!! The cute doodle at the end, and the sketch before that of her using straps for her trunk! :D
ngl, i feel like this will really really help me out. i find object design really fun, but i have such a hard time making things look functional or appealing, so ill probably be following these steps. i also like thinking of objects as extensions of the chrs that own them, i find that that helps a bit. but anyway, i really liked this vid
Ok but it's actually SO FUN to research objects to design a prop. I ended up going down a sword rabbit hole which quickly took me from loathing drawing swords to being kind of obsessed with it. 10/10 would recommend.
Aww I love this because when I was 15 I really loved your videos and I felt the same way about references.... but now I've started really branching out into using refs which has helped me so much. I like the idea that my 15 year old self might have seen this and been like. Hmm :) maybe refs aren't so bad! Also the desogn page at 9:45 looks sick!!!
I need to work on object and background drawing and design. It isn't something I've practiced a lot and I get scared and never know where to begin. This video is super helpful. It's made me inspired to try drawing all sorts of objects to practice ☺️
Thank you for this video- i was starting to praticing background with a LOT of stuffs for a story that im start doing- (Books,Witch things,Sword, ect..) so you vomme to help a lot of people without really knowing-i love your style by the way!

I can't express how much your videos make me happy. Your art style coupled with your voice is just comfort :DD
It would be cool if she did a, "Turning Procreate Brushes into People!" video!
Oh yeah definitely
I have aphantasia which means I think in descriptions and not pictures. Using reference more has helped so much. My tattoo artist told me he draws photo reference to draw practice work to help with stylise normal situations. It's a great tip.
Me: *scrolling through the comments, sort of listening*
Lavender: *draws scissors*
Me: *you have my attention*
these helped a lot! i like the idea of separating the sketch, it makes sense :) I've actually been multi-referencing with drawing for a while now! that technique works well with doing fanart of characters too
you should try and do a series’s where you take a musical and compare it a book or movie it’s based off or a book or movie adaptation that was made of it for example heathers the musical and the movie and be more chills book and musical
She’s done that before, it’s her series called by the book
@@inactiveaccountstopreplyin6285 I know but I meant with musicals not just book and movie adoptions
@@h0rrorscope ah ok
That would be cool
@@Yukimari_ hi Hiyoko 👀👀✨
omg I love the scissor angel wings design so much like omghehgshfg-
i'm not entirely sure it you've done this before, but how about a draw this, not that about costume design? i'm always partial to giving up and drawing half of my characters in overalls just because i can't think of a good idea for an outfit :'D
I think she talked about it in her do this, not that for character design.
THANK YOU FOR THIS I NEED IT!!!! I have a character who uses needle nose pliers as a weapon and I struggle with consistency and memorability (they’re not completely designed yet) and just generally trying to make them look good
That awkward moment when the "not this" sword in the thumbnail looks exactly like how I draw swords 😆
LOVED seeing Planchette in art styles outside of your comic style!! The cute doodle at the end, and the sketch before that of her using straps for her trunk! :D
This was posted RIGHT as I was beginning to draw a group of characters who 3/5 are going to be holding weapons/objects-
This is an *amazing* piece of commentary on deceptively simple things that very frequently trip up artists. Good job!!
1:54 scissors lore
ngl, i feel like this will really really help me out.
i find object design really fun, but i have such a hard time making things look functional or appealing, so ill probably be following these steps.
i also like thinking of objects as extensions of the chrs that own them, i find that that helps a bit.
but anyway, i really liked this vid
The fact that the handles of the scissors are way to short to close the scissors are triggering me throughout the whole video xD
Sometimes it's good to play with forms and shapes even if you draw objects and props. Its good for dynamic!
Me listening while trying to find a reference lmao
I love these, I learn so much, and I get so much inspiration and new knowledge! What an absolute pillar of the art community! ✨
Watching LavenderTowne fills you with determination
You are so incredibly talented. Thank you for taking the time out of your day to share your knowledge with your viewers. It is so appreciated!
Early lol sorry I’m exited I love watching these vids while drawing
I love you. So much. I’ve been following you and your art for such a long time and I’ve never regretted a second of it ❤️
who else loves laventer towne!?
Ok but it's actually SO FUN to research objects to design a prop. I ended up going down a sword rabbit hole which quickly took me from loathing drawing swords to being kind of obsessed with it. 10/10 would recommend.
Me struggling to draw a sword: *ughhhh! Why does it look so wrong!?*
Me when this video came up: *well I just got good luck*
Aww I love this because when I was 15 I really loved your videos and I felt the same way about references.... but now I've started really branching out into using refs which has helped me so much. I like the idea that my 15 year old self might have seen this and been like. Hmm :) maybe refs aren't so bad!
Also the desogn page at 9:45 looks sick!!!
Wow this video was so helpful! I also love the way it’s formatted with all the different examples! Good job 👏
*last time I was this early Marie Antoniette still had her head*
Edit: Omg I got so many likes thank you guys🥺😀

My ocd is killing me those scissors she made techincally cant close X.....X
I need to work on object and background drawing and design. It isn't something I've practiced a lot and I get scared and never know where to begin. This video is super helpful. It's made me inspired to try drawing all sorts of objects to practice ☺️
Ya gotta appreciate references though.
Thank you for this video- i was starting to praticing background with a LOT of stuffs for a story that im start doing- (Books,Witch things,Sword, ect..) so you vomme to help a lot of people without really knowing-i love your style by the way!
Can you do a Disney princess into Magical Girls
This was so helpful!!! I hadn't even thought about object drawing until now! This was such a great video!
