“we all kind of know the experience of downloading ibispaint for the first time” made me realize that i’m not the perfect target demographic for this video, got my start with a mouse and ms paint’s bendy tool back in the late 2000s/early 2010s and the main programs i saw people use were sai, ms paint, and gimp 😭 jokes aside, the sporadic art tutorial binges and the hunt for a decent drawing tablet (only to jump to ipad) are so real
same, back when i started my digital art adventure no one ever thought about the possibility of drawing on phone, so it was all mouse drawing in ms paint lmao i honestly dont know how people can draw on phones, how do you even see your lines when your fat ass finger is in the way 😭 these people are too powerful
kinda relatable, i feel like this is for newer or younger artists though, when i started there wasnt really drawing apps for your phone, it was just ms paint or paint tool sai which costed money, the professionals had photoshop but those were the main ones when i started.
oh my god you just gave me a flashback to when i was like. 12. and i got my father to buy me paint tool sai. i used it for like a couple of years and then promptly switched to firealpaca, wich is not only free, but SO MUCH BETTER FOR ME. i am sorry father for making you spend 50€ (i don't know how expensive paint tool sai is in other countries) on a software i could and SHOULD have used firealpaca instead of
One of my canon events is the mirror tool dependent Like I was SO dependent on that tool that I only draw front faces for the first year I started learning how to draw Also I had a SpeedPaint addiction instead of the art tutorial one
honestly I only watch art tutorials either for fun, or to see how some people draw stuff (Mostly Winged Canvas) it mostly helps me improve my anatomy so I’m glad I sometimes do
I started out with ibispaint and then switched mostly to using firealpaca and my finger (my computer has a touch screen) and now I use procreate! I definitely went through an art tutorial phase and then realized it wasn't doing anything. I have like, a million ocs as well, most of them without any kind of lore, and I still avoid backgrounds at all costs. Hands are ok, but backgrounds will be the death of me
@lu0z9_the_Iyo. I’ve gotta say.. ibis paint isn’t all that bad when I came back to it after 4 months 💀(I use procreate). Layer settings are nice, sketching with your finger ain’t half bad, and animating on ibis paint in my opinion is way! Better then procreate (not procreate dreams) I literally made a yutapon cube practice on that boy and it turned out better then most of my ibis paint animations for some reason (and yes.. I drew that with my finger and not a pen like I’m used to.
When I was a little kid, I used to tape paper in my mom's computer screen, put a drawing it and trace it on paper, then cut the drawing, glue it on cardboard and play with it like it was a normal toy
For me the too many ocs is wrong for me, its actually the opposite; i have like 15 or so ocs but i give each of them a complicated backstory and personality, not even mentioning the designs! My personal favorites are the food ones i mads :3
dude, hear me out on the too many ocs part. I when I was like 12 or 13, I thought that I was allowed to have only 1 main oc, that I had to draw everywhere and include in every single animation meme I made. And when I would eventually get tired of using one character over and over again, I would change it, and proceed to feel guilty over it LMAOO. This isn't necessarily related to the topic, but it just kinda reminded me of that weird "phase" that I had.
Dude I still struggle with this. I have 2 main sona but I have a 3rd oc that I really like and feel really connected too but I’m like “but I don’t wanna replace my first 2!!” It’s a struggle
my brain says “shouldnt i make a new oc that has something to do with my fandom for my new persona? NAH, IMMA USE THE RANDOM DDLC OC I MADE WHEN I WAS 11-“
some of these points hit close to home esp the too many ocs one when i was younger i had so many ocs (which were just recolors of other ocs i made lmfao)
I feel too old for the first point xD We didn't really have any decent art apps, and most kids still didn't have touch screen phones. My intro to digital art was in flipnote. It's a pain trying to draw on a 3in screen, but somehow people are able to make plenty of AMV's that way lmao this was 2010-2012
I've been using ibispaint(still use it, i'm too attached to use procreate) for years and its stabiliser almost does nothing so i *had* to get confident in my lines :"3
Re: art tutorials. I'm a sucker for Oridays art! He gives pretty comprehensive advice and it's very nice. He specializes in anime style art but it's still applicable across all art styles!
I'm not exactly a phone artist but people seem to find it really impressive when i tell them so: I've gone my entire digital art journey without using a tablet even once. Somehow I've managed to get by the past 9 years via a usb mouse, laptop touchpad, and sheer willpower. It's something you get used to after a while and if you've got the right brushes and technique people won't be able to tell the difference. I'm also impressed by phone artists tbh idk how they do that xD
I watch a ton of art tutorials, in phases similar to what you said. But like I actually think I learn a lot from them, they keep my focus the entire time (because i speed up the video by 2x) and I learn things I hadn't tried out before and then I get super motivated to try them
I am 100% from a older gen of digital artists despite being Gen Z. At the time there really werent as many options! It was either tablet, scan traditional and use the mouse, or cry 😭 For a while I did digital art (mainly Sonic OCs and MLP) using a mouse and I can still do it somewhat but eventually I got a Cintiq. I hated the Cintiq and thought I just needed a smaller screen tablet. Turns out I hate screen tablets LMAO But it is much better for posture and my back problems using a screenless tablet. I think the iPad is good too but I cant get the same results I like on the iPad 😭
hearing people say ibis paint was their first drawing program and they started out on ipads makes me feel so old 😭I had a ugee drawing tablet and paint tool sai
@@arcamira7918 No fr!! I started on a pirated version of Gimp using a wacom bamboo tablet! 😭 Gotta hand it to the bamboo tablet tho bc it still works!! Its practically indestructable.
I also had the "drawing on phone experience" except it was with a touch screen laptop instead and i had to bend my back at an awkward angle just to be able to draw on the screen with my finger
very fun video 👍 when i got interested in digital it was probably about 2011, phones weren't as common with ppl my age and i didn't have one so i learned digital with a mouse. i was definetly over reliant on the curve tool, and it hurt like hell and took ages, but i loved it anyways
I somehow managed to be the anomaly in the system who never had these experiences but came really close everytime lmao like i remember finding out about the stabilization tool thinking "maybe turning it up really high would help" then thought about it went nahhhh and dodged the cannon event just like that 😂
I remember I had a phase where I would draw the same thing over and over again and since I didn’t really have an artstyle at that point the character is was drawing always looked slightly off. I did this digitally and traditionally too it was wild. But I got a somewhat consistent style now so no more cat evolutions for me >:) Also I just need to add just how much I love watching your speedpaints, your art is sooo prettyy
The "Making too many OCs" part felt very relatable, back when RUclips still had that friend chat feature i would have like... 8 to 7 new characters or something? ...oh yeah and they all looked almost exactly the same (mostly their head), ain't that crazy? (their names were also VERY lame I'd often get them confused)
10 cents if one of their names was based of a colour, flower, or crystal of some sort. or if you just took it from somewhere else because you couldn’t think of a name.
I started with the circle tool, my little sister had my dad's computer and found some obscure art thing, and just used that circle tool, or any shape tool provided.
I had no idea the stabiliser was a thing until I started animation on toon boom and it's a life saver for cutting shortcuts on line art and time in a lot of cases 😭
It's pretty interesting to learn about other people's experience with digital art, hah. My path was kinda different but yeaaa there are definitely some things in common. Also, love the video design. Those transitions between scenes give such a vibes, amazing
As someone who has been drawing with ibis paint on my phone for the past 3 or 4 years, and has become very fluent and I’d say pretty good for my age, this makes me happy🫶🤩
I was the friend that found ibis paint for our school iPads. It was a milestone for all of my friends interested in drawing like 6+ years ago??.Then, when we no longer had iPads, I definitely brunt forced it on my phone for a while 😂. Now I stick mainly with procreate! But it’s crazy seeing all of the additions to ibis after so many years! With the eye thing, I did a lot of hearts or stars!
OMG the tutorial thing is so relatable!! I don’t watch a lot of art tutorials, BUT i DO end up watching a lot of scripting tutorials for Roblox studio bc i also like making games along with art… and i get so burnt out from watching them and i didn’t know this happened to other people too!! i thought my brain was just being dumb and stupid and making me not want to continue working on the project and the oc’s thing… i also had a HUGE oc phase back in the day, i would just crank out so many oc’s, make drawings of them ONE TIME and then NEVER use them again, and then they just end up forgotten. nowadays i just stick with a few main oc’s that im making a story for, and i prefer to change up existing unused characters to fit new roles rather than create more endless ocs.
I held off on doing digital art for so long cuz I thought to myself that if I was going to do digital art I NEEDED a drawling tablet or at least a stylist. It wasn’t until I started editing my traditional drawings onto digital backgrounds did I start to realize, ya know what? I could probably do this digital drawing thing. I was basically already “drawing” with my finger at that point when using the cut out tool to put OCs onto digital backgrounds. That was almost a year ago now, I still use IBS paint and use my finger to draw. My partner got me a stylist but sometimes I lose it around the apartment and I’ve gotten so used to using my finger I don’t even think about it half the time until she reminds me. I’m 23 with my own job so I COULD buy a drawing tablet if I really wanted but as of now I’m honestly pretty content using an app on my phone. I’m really happy with how the art comes out anyway. Took me a little while to learn about using layers properly and the bucket tool lol
the very first one and i already feel like a dinosaur… drawing on your phone wasn’t even really a thing you could do back when i first got into it! all of my trackpad-on-mspaint brothers rise up with me
ok but art tutorial addiction is what saves me if I'm in an art block. art tutorials are a way for me to re-inspire myself by learning new techniques and styles and give me something else to play around with or think about that I wouldn't normally. obviously there should be a cutoff point but for me personally it can be really helpful :)
As for the too many ocs thing… I have approximately 40 and out of them 14 have an in-depth backstory, 20 were made using digital art, and the remaining 20 were made using traditional art. The ones without backstories are either a literal child oc, were made years ago before i added any kind of backstory to the characters i made, or i just haven’t gotten around to adding backstory yet lol
Ironically this video made me want to draw in my sketchbook for some reason (Im actually both but i tend to use digital longer before switching to traditional for a bit)
oh man not to pull a "back in my day" but my generation's version of #1 was drawing in MS paint. smartphones didn't exist yet and touch screens weren't a common thing so the fact that MS paint was free to use, came already downloaded, and had line tools made it The Beginner Digital Artist(TM) program of the 00s. i'm so glad that beginner artists have more options now!! 😭👏👏
I feel so called out by the first few minutes of this - my process is so clinically insane. I do my sketches with a drawing tablet using FireAlpaca, *then I export the sketch as psd and import into ibis to finish it.* I know this is not at all a normal way to do things but it works for me! My hands are really unsteady with the pen (I really don't know why) so i use the tablet + FA to "sculpt" the sketch, and ibis' stabilizer on like level 2 plus the "force fade out" that tapers the end of the lines automatically so my lineart is REALLY clean, plus I have a lot more control with just a finger than a whole pen, probably has to do with range of motion 🤔
my caveman brain heard the first 2 sentences, then went "OOoooOHHOOO!! CRUNCHY ART!!!" and ignored everything else you said. your style is so cute !!!!!!! ^∀^
Ive been drawing for nearly 8 years now, and i started off using mspaint on my mum's desktop. Since 2017, ive been drawing on regular ass tablets with my finger, and Ibispaint is still the best art program ive ever used. No intention of ever getting a tablet pen or professional drawing tablet. Sometimes the simpler stuff is better
This was a fun watch, but there's one category of artist to whome a ton of these either don't apply or are a lot less common, and that's 3D artists. The one that seems universal though is art tutorial addiction. That one actually happens first for us, usually. Although 3D art is a lot more technical and can sometimes be closer to programing or engineering than other art fields, and for those areas tutorials tend to be more applicable than a lot of 2D art tutorials.
I used to have a phase where I didn’t know about clipping layers so I whenever I would change my lineart colour I would just draw over my black lineart
i have so many ocs and whenever i make a new one i discard the other ones. and i have so many i’ve forgotten about i genuinely don’t know i can’t count them
One of the art phases I went through was when I wasn’t very experienced and struggled a lot with anatomy I reused the same base I drew for every drawing
i've always have trouble to remember that circle and square tools exist, Like i just draw those shapes myself, even if they don't end up perfect cirlce/square, it's still faster than to switch tools and to try and get the exact size circle/square. "Making too many OC's" but it feels so good.
I remember I used to not know how to airdrop my art from my iPad to my phone, so I would take a picture of my iPad screen when I wanted to save the art to my phone 😭😭
Concepts was my first ever drawing app, and its still my favorite, but some of the thigs you listed off don't exist or didn't exist when i got it, like multiply, or when i first started using it, it didn't have a circle tool, stuff like that. you really need to work with it a little, but i still love it.
Once you mentioned circle tool, I didn’t go through with that specifically digitally I went through that using the classic paper and pen/pencil. I still don’t know why I did not go through the phase digitally if I start it off in circle phase when I first used digital drawing utensils😢😂
I struggled with line art for so long and the I found out you could turn on a stabilizer (like... the brush I used was literally set to 0 stabilization) But then by the time I learned about the stabilizer my art style has adapted to where using any of stabilization made it look worse. So... yeah.
I still only use a phone to draw it’s been a longggggg time and I’ve finally found an art style I love🥺 I bought myself a drawing tablet but I prefer my phone😅 I do make too many OCs but I always get bored of them so only a select few have a story like maybe 20/100+ have a story, my New Year’s resolution is making another set of characters and making a story, but it’s soooo hard to stay committed😭
im still on my phone phase because i once tried using my friends cool art stuffs and my schools too but it was way too hard so here i am with an sligly larger phone
I don't even try to hide the hands I just draw circles since I still can't draw hands very well (especially on a human being and not just by itself). And for the OC thing, if there's some much less important side character, I don't even draw them, so I've never had the problem of making too many OCs.
I am still on the drawing on your phone phase as i am still (trying) to save up for a tablet. Also I usally keep my stabliezer up to the max (10,i use ibispaintx) cus i usally draw in the car so the stablzer stops lines from going across the whole peice. I did 7. I did it a lot. I made so much that i had to get rid of ALL of them (they were all crap) and now i have 3. i made a rule to only create an oc if i need it for something/a really cool concept that i can use for something. Basically,if i can use it,i'll make it.
New artist here, i am definitely on the stabilizer phaze, i crank it up to 90%. I am starting to forget to put it on sometimes and not noticing mutch difference, hopefully it means i am getting out of that phaze.
ngl, the first time i ever seriously got into art WAS a phone .. and, with adhd, a phone is where i shall eternally stay. :'] (it feels 'faster' than big tablet screens or drawing tablets,)
Anyone else had that phase where they made like 10000000000 Million OCS but then only focused on your favourite one and only oc and really only built like lore mainly on that oc by fixating on them because thats the phase I'm in rn XD
0:30 I never drew on my phone but I DID have a "drawing digital art using a trackpad on a laptop" phase. I'd sketch it traditionally and then take a photo, email it to my laptop, then open some random browser art program and painstakingly trace it with the trackpad and patience.
As a person who uses a computer and mouse to draw, I can say it is 2x easier for me to draw on a phone or on paper, I have to use stabilizer with the settings cranked up, because if I don't my mouse will make all the lines weird(Idk if it's because I don't have a mouse pad), and I use the circle tool every time I draw a head because drawing circles with stabilizer on and a mouse is incredibly difficult for me. The mirror feature is a lifesaver.

"Taking a break"
from digital art for months at a time beacause I lost my pen for my drawing tablet, can't find it, and can't work up the confidence to ask my parents to buy me a new one
apple pencil tip got smooshed so after a short while of “taking a break” (i had school and stuff too) i drew w my finger for the first time in a while and i’ve gotten pretty good lol

then i felt. broken, like all my coping was for NOTHING bcuz now i cant go back as a replacement pen costed 90 damn euros and i was just like NO im quitting art or taking a HUGE break
eventually i got the courage to raise back my money but would you guess, i had nowhere to buy it from. all my local sites didnt support paypal and were shady (i could only pay with paypal for complex reasons id rather not get into, but my country has barebones paypal support like merely nothing supports it but its still available) and when i went to wacom site they didnt offer any shipping options to my country either, and place where i got my tablet from doesnt sell the pens separately. my only shot was god damn amazon with their 70$ time wasting shipping or get free shipping by ordering it to someone else who would then ship it to me but thats so wonky even with someone i fully trust its just. wack to do lmao

“we all kind of know the experience of downloading ibispaint for the first time” made me realize that i’m not the perfect target demographic for this video, got my start with a mouse and ms paint’s bendy tool back in the late 2000s/early 2010s and the main programs i saw people use were sai, ms paint, and gimp 😭
jokes aside, the sporadic art tutorial binges and the hunt for a decent drawing tablet (only to jump to ipad) are so real
Ibis paint is the new paint tool Sai pretty much 😭
i love ibis
Used Paint with my mouse. Wrote a book as an eight year old. It was bad.
I definitely relate to this a bit more haha
same, back when i started my digital art adventure no one ever thought about the possibility of drawing on phone, so it was all mouse drawing in ms paint lmao
i honestly dont know how people can draw on phones, how do you even see your lines when your fat ass finger is in the way 😭 these people are too powerful
kinda relatable, i feel like this is for newer or younger artists though, when i started there wasnt really drawing apps for your phone, it was just ms paint or paint tool sai which costed money, the professionals had photoshop but those were the main ones when i started.
pfft yeah im 16 sooo unfortunately not everyone might be able to relate to this one as hard
oh my god you just gave me a flashback to when i was like. 12. and i got my father to buy me paint tool sai. i used it for like a couple of years and then promptly switched to firealpaca, wich is not only free, but SO MUCH BETTER FOR ME.
i am sorry father for making you spend 50€ (i don't know how expensive paint tool sai is in other countries) on a software i could and SHOULD have used firealpaca instead of
I remember designing a Powerpuff Girls persona on Microsoft Paint on my moms laptop. And ever since, digital drawing is my full personality…
One of my canon events is the mirror tool dependent
Like I was SO dependent on that tool that I only draw front faces for the first year I started learning how to draw
Also I had a SpeedPaint addiction instead of the art tutorial one
honestly I only watch art tutorials either for fun, or to see how some people draw stuff
(Mostly Winged Canvas)
it mostly helps me improve my anatomy so I’m glad I sometimes do
I started out with ibispaint and then switched mostly to using firealpaca and my finger (my computer has a touch screen) and now I use procreate! I definitely went through an art tutorial phase and then realized it wasn't doing anything. I have like, a million ocs as well, most of them without any kind of lore, and I still avoid backgrounds at all costs. Hands are ok, but backgrounds will be the death of me
@lu0z9_the_Iyo. I’ve gotta say.. ibis paint isn’t all that bad when I came back to it after 4 months 💀(I use procreate).
Layer settings are nice, sketching with your finger ain’t half bad, and animating on ibis paint in my opinion is way! Better then procreate (not procreate dreams) I literally made a yutapon cube practice on that boy and it turned out better then most of my ibis paint animations for some reason (and yes.. I drew that with my finger and not a pen like I’m used to.
When I was a little kid, I used to tape paper in my mom's computer screen, put a drawing it and trace it on paper, then cut the drawing, glue it on cardboard and play with it like it was a normal toy
DUDE number 5 KILLED ME
i literally used the circle/oval thingy tool for EVERYTHING
every body i drew just consisted of ALL CIRCLES
For me the too many ocs is wrong for me, its actually the opposite; i have like 15 or so ocs but i give each of them a complicated backstory and personality, not even mentioning the designs! My personal favorites are the food ones i mads :3
Samee
Hello again 💀
I only have 4 ocs lol
same
i just think of good lore ideas and dump them all on one oc lol
dude, hear me out on the too many ocs part. I when I was like 12 or 13, I thought that I was allowed to have only 1 main oc, that I had to draw everywhere and include in every single animation meme I made. And when I would eventually get tired of using one character over and over again, I would change it, and proceed to feel guilty over it LMAOO. This isn't necessarily related to the topic, but it just kinda reminded me of that weird "phase" that I had.
Dude I still struggle with this. I have 2 main sona but I have a 3rd oc that I really like and feel really connected too but I’m like “but I don’t wanna replace my first 2!!” It’s a struggle
@@vulturedrawz FEEEELLLT you can get throught it bro I belive in you frfr
my brain says “shouldnt i make a new oc that has something to do with my fandom for my new persona? NAH, IMMA USE THE RANDOM DDLC OC I MADE WHEN I WAS 11-“
the rant about liking drawing on an ipad more was the most relatable thing i’ve ever heard
THE ART TUTORIALS ONE WAS A PERSONAL ATTACK TOWARDS ME /J
BUT this is an amazing video!! Hope ur feeling better! :D ❤
some of these points hit close to home esp the too many ocs one
when i was younger i had so many ocs (which were just recolors of other ocs i made lmfao)
OH MY GOD ARE YOU SAYING YOU RECOLORED YOUR OWN OCS LMAOO
YES I DID@@angrybirdscricket
I feel too old for the first point xD We didn't really have any decent art apps, and most kids still didn't have touch screen phones. My intro to digital art was in flipnote. It's a pain trying to draw on a 3in screen, but somehow people are able to make plenty of AMV's that way lmao
this was 2010-2012
YOOOO FLIPNOTE GANG RISE UP!!!
thats so real of you actually god damn
I've been using ibispaint(still use it, i'm too attached to use procreate) for years and its stabiliser almost does nothing so i *had* to get confident in my lines :"3
Another banger video from the Qwizzer
Re: art tutorials. I'm a sucker for Oridays art! He gives pretty comprehensive advice and it's very nice. He specializes in anime style art but it's still applicable across all art styles!
I'm not exactly a phone artist but people seem to find it really impressive when i tell them so: I've gone my entire digital art journey without using a tablet even once. Somehow I've managed to get by the past 9 years via a usb mouse, laptop touchpad, and sheer willpower. It's something you get used to after a while and if you've got the right brushes and technique people won't be able to tell the difference. I'm also impressed by phone artists tbh idk how they do that xD
This is SO relatable omg 😭
Btw amazing videos Qwizz, great as always X33
I watch a ton of art tutorials, in phases similar to what you said. But like I actually think I learn a lot from them, they keep my focus the entire time (because i speed up the video by 2x) and I learn things I hadn't tried out before and then I get super motivated to try them
this whole video feels like a personal attack thank you for hitting all the marks LMAO 💀
When I have bad OCs, I keep them and redesign them.
This is probably why I have over 100 Ocs…
i had a traditional artist version of the circle tool one, id use those little shape things on paper to get circles for the head
I am 100% from a older gen of digital artists despite being Gen Z. At the time there really werent as many options! It was either tablet, scan traditional and use the mouse, or cry 😭 For a while I did digital art (mainly Sonic OCs and MLP) using a mouse and I can still do it somewhat but eventually I got a Cintiq. I hated the Cintiq and thought I just needed a smaller screen tablet. Turns out I hate screen tablets LMAO But it is much better for posture and my back problems using a screenless tablet. I think the iPad is good too but I cant get the same results I like on the iPad 😭
hearing people say ibis paint was their first drawing program and they started out on ipads makes me feel so old 😭I had a ugee drawing tablet and paint tool sai
@@arcamira7918 No fr!! I started on a pirated version of Gimp using a wacom bamboo tablet! 😭 Gotta hand it to the bamboo tablet tho bc it still works!! Its practically indestructable.
Same bestie, we should start our own Senior Citizen group for us 20s something Gen Z’s 😔👍
i started on the messages app with the digital touch thing 💀
@@shadowsightrulesnah!!!!!
I haven't watched the video yet but seeing the ibis paint icon in the thumbnail.... I feel called out
as someone who just got an ipad for christmas and before was drawing on their phone for years. the first one is so real
I also had the "drawing on phone experience" except it was with a touch screen laptop instead and i had to bend my back at an awkward angle just to be able to draw on the screen with my finger
THAT WAS ME BEFORE DRAWING ON A PHONE TOOOO i had a lenovo that flipped 💔
very fun video 👍
when i got interested in digital it was probably about 2011, phones weren't as common with ppl my age and i didn't have one so i learned digital with a mouse. i was definetly over reliant on the curve tool, and it hurt like hell and took ages, but i loved it anyways
I somehow managed to be the anomaly in the system who never had these experiences but came really close everytime lmao like i remember finding out about the stabilization tool thinking "maybe turning it up really high would help" then thought about it went nahhhh and dodged the cannon event just like that 😂
BHAHAAHHA, YES! ART TUTORIAL ADDICTION IS SO SPECIFIC AND REAL
I remember I had a phase where I would draw the same thing over and over again and since I didn’t really have an artstyle at that point the character is was drawing always looked slightly off. I did this digitally and traditionally too it was wild. But I got a somewhat consistent style now so no more cat evolutions for me >:)
Also I just need to add just how much I love watching your speedpaints, your art is sooo prettyy
The "Making too many OCs" part felt very relatable,
back when RUclips still had that friend chat feature i would have like... 8 to 7 new characters or something?
...oh yeah and they all looked almost exactly the same (mostly their head), ain't that crazy? (their names were also VERY lame I'd often get them confused)
10 cents if one of their names was based of a colour, flower, or crystal of some sort.
or if you just took it from somewhere else because you couldn’t think of a name.
@@iknowyoursearchhistory DING DING DING you got it, one of them was just called Blue, and the others i took it from somewhere
I Literally JUST GOT My First Wacom Tablet And The Transition From Drawing On Ibis On My Phone To Krita Has Been... A Little Rocky Lol
I started with the circle tool, my little sister had my dad's computer and found some obscure art thing, and just used that circle tool, or any shape tool provided.
oh god the OCs one 😭😭that one is way to relatable
Wow... Number 1 made me realize that I was drawing digitally on my computer YEARS before I got a smartphone.. Lol
I had no idea the stabiliser was a thing until I started animation on toon boom and it's a life saver for cutting shortcuts on line art and time in a lot of cases 😭
It's pretty interesting to learn about other people's experience with digital art, hah. My path was kinda different but yeaaa there are definitely some things in common. Also, love the video design. Those transitions between scenes give such a vibes, amazing
As someone who has been drawing with ibis paint on my phone for the past 3 or 4 years, and has become very fluent and I’d say pretty good for my age, this makes me happy🫶🤩
NAH IM SO CALLED OUT
I was the friend that found ibis paint for our school iPads. It was a milestone for all of my friends interested in drawing like 6+ years ago??.Then, when we no longer had iPads, I definitely brunt forced it on my phone for a while 😂. Now I stick mainly with procreate! But it’s crazy seeing all of the additions to ibis after so many years!
With the eye thing, I did a lot of hearts or stars!
"Making way too many ocs"
They all have cool stories y swear 😭
OMG the tutorial thing is so relatable!! I don’t watch a lot of art tutorials, BUT i DO end up watching a lot of scripting tutorials for Roblox studio bc i also like making games along with art… and i get so burnt out from watching them and i didn’t know this happened to other people too!! i thought my brain was just being dumb and stupid and making me not want to continue working on the project
and the oc’s thing… i also had a HUGE oc phase back in the day, i would just crank out so many oc’s, make drawings of them ONE TIME and then NEVER use them again, and then they just end up forgotten. nowadays i just stick with a few main oc’s that im making a story for, and i prefer to change up existing unused characters to fit new roles rather than create more endless ocs.
I held off on doing digital art for so long cuz I thought to myself that if I was going to do digital art I NEEDED a drawling tablet or at least a stylist.
It wasn’t until I started editing my traditional drawings onto digital backgrounds did I start to realize, ya know what? I could probably do this digital drawing thing. I was basically already “drawing” with my finger at that point when using the cut out tool to put OCs onto digital backgrounds.
That was almost a year ago now, I still use IBS paint and use my finger to draw. My partner got me a stylist but sometimes I lose it around the apartment and I’ve gotten so used to using my finger I don’t even think about it half the time until she reminds me. I’m 23 with my own job so I COULD buy a drawing tablet if I really wanted but as of now I’m honestly pretty content using an app on my phone. I’m really happy with how the art comes out anyway.
Took me a little while to learn about using layers properly and the bucket tool lol
X eye pupils, brother its on MY ENTIRE TORSO
the very first one and i already feel like a dinosaur… drawing on your phone wasn’t even really a thing you could do back when i first got into it! all of my trackpad-on-mspaint brothers rise up with me
I genuinely need more videos like this
IM EATING ALL YOUR VIDEOS TODAY (binge watching lmao)
8:38 OOP YOU GOT ME ON HANDS, BADK GROUNS THE REST OF THE LEG 😭
ok but art tutorial addiction is what saves me if I'm in an art block. art tutorials are a way for me to re-inspire myself by learning new techniques and styles and give me something else to play around with or think about that I wouldn't normally. obviously there should be a cutoff point but for me personally it can be really helpful :)
As for the too many ocs thing… I have approximately 40 and out of them 14 have an in-depth backstory, 20 were made using digital art, and the remaining 20 were made using traditional art. The ones without backstories are either a literal child oc, were made years ago before i added any kind of backstory to the characters i made, or i just haven’t gotten around to adding backstory yet lol
Ironically this video made me want to draw in my sketchbook for some reason
(Im actually both but i tend to use digital longer before switching to traditional for a bit)
How do you know my life Qwizz? Your incredible
oh man not to pull a "back in my day" but my generation's version of #1 was drawing in MS paint. smartphones didn't exist yet and touch screens weren't a common thing so the fact that MS paint was free to use, came already downloaded, and had line tools made it The Beginner Digital Artist(TM) program of the 00s. i'm so glad that beginner artists have more options now!! 😭👏👏
I feel so called out by the first few minutes of this - my process is so clinically insane.
I do my sketches with a drawing tablet using FireAlpaca, *then I export the sketch as psd and import into ibis to finish it.* I know this is not at all a normal way to do things but it works for me! My hands are really unsteady with the pen (I really don't know why) so i use the tablet + FA to "sculpt" the sketch, and ibis' stabilizer on like level 2 plus the "force fade out" that tapers the end of the lines automatically so my lineart is REALLY clean, plus I have a lot more control with just a finger than a whole pen, probably has to do with range of motion 🤔
Your art is so cute WHAT
QWIZZ VID!!!
yeah i remember hopping on ibisPaint X with my phone for the first time when i was a kid...that was 6 years ago and as an adult i STILL use it
Too many Ocs is so accurate for me- I still make to much Ocs but idc, I love them all!
my caveman brain heard the first 2 sentences, then went "OOoooOHHOOO!! CRUNCHY ART!!!" and ignored everything else you said.
your style is so cute !!!!!!! ^∀^
Had a drawing stylus for my phone. Then drew on my MacBook before finally getting my iPad Pro in college. Been drawing on my iPad ever since.
Ive been drawing for nearly 8 years now, and i started off using mspaint on my mum's desktop. Since 2017, ive been drawing on regular ass tablets with my finger, and Ibispaint is still the best art program ive ever used. No intention of ever getting a tablet pen or professional drawing tablet. Sometimes the simpler stuff is better
I still draw on my phone!
I had a anti circle tool phase, I felt too confident about drawing my circles
This was a fun watch, but there's one category of artist to whome a ton of these either don't apply or are a lot less common, and that's 3D artists.
The one that seems universal though is art tutorial addiction. That one actually happens first for us, usually. Although 3D art is a lot more technical and can sometimes be closer to programing or engineering than other art fields, and for those areas tutorials tend to be more applicable than a lot of 2D art tutorials.
I used to have a phase where I didn’t know about clipping layers so I whenever I would change my lineart colour I would just draw over my black lineart
i have so many ocs and whenever i make a new one i discard the other ones. and i have so many i’ve forgotten about i genuinely don’t know i can’t count them
One of the art phases I went through was when I wasn’t very experienced and struggled a lot with anatomy I reused the same base I drew for every drawing
The art tutorial addiction is me rn :’)
1:23 me being both a phone and tablet digital artist and a traditional artist: I have.. ULTIMATE POWER >:D
Still on my ibis paint and finger era 😭😭 one day I’ll evolve 💔
Great video btw :D
i've always have trouble to remember that circle and square tools exist, Like i just draw those shapes myself, even if they don't end up perfect cirlce/square, it's still faster than to switch tools and to try and get the exact size circle/square.
"Making too many OC's" but it feels so good.
I remember I used to not know how to airdrop my art from my iPad to my phone, so I would take a picture of my iPad screen when I wanted to save the art to my phone 😭😭
Concepts was my first ever drawing app, and its still my favorite, but some of the thigs you listed off don't exist or didn't exist when i got it, like multiply, or when i first started using it, it didn't have a circle tool, stuff like that. you really need to work with it a little, but i still love it.
Once you mentioned circle tool, I didn’t go through with that specifically digitally I went through that using the classic paper and pen/pencil. I still don’t know why I did not go through the phase digitally if I start it off in circle phase when I first used digital drawing utensils😢😂
I feel called out
I struggled with line art for so long and the I found out you could turn on a stabilizer (like... the brush I used was literally set to 0 stabilization)
But then by the time I learned about the stabilizer my art style has adapted to where using any of stabilization made it look worse. So... yeah.
i went through all these aaa
getting better at art stuff now but damn these were relatable
I never went through an oc craze, I just made sure that the main oc I had looked good
I still only use a phone to draw it’s been a longggggg time and I’ve finally found an art style I love🥺 I bought myself a drawing tablet but I prefer my phone😅
I do make too many OCs but I always get bored of them so only a select few have a story like maybe 20/100+ have a story, my New Year’s resolution is making another set of characters and making a story, but it’s soooo hard to stay committed😭
im still on my phone phase because i once tried using my friends cool art stuffs and my schools too but it was way too hard so here i am with an sligly larger phone
I don't even try to hide the hands I just draw circles since I still can't draw hands very well (especially on a human being and not just by itself). And for the OC thing, if there's some much less important side character, I don't even draw them, so I've never had the problem of making too many OCs.
i feel called out with the first one
i’m proud to say i never got addicted to circle tool
I am still on the drawing on your phone phase as i am still (trying) to save up for a tablet.
Also I usally keep my stabliezer up to the max (10,i use ibispaintx) cus i usally draw in the car so the stablzer stops lines from going across the whole peice.
I did 7. I did it a lot. I made so much that i had to get rid of ALL of them (they were all crap) and now i have 3. i made a rule to only create an oc if i need it for something/a really cool concept that i can use for something. Basically,if i can use it,i'll make it.
Bro some of these were so relatable LOL
New artist here, i am definitely on the stabilizer phaze, i crank it up to 90%. I am starting to forget to put it on sometimes and not noticing mutch difference, hopefully it means i am getting out of that phaze.
I'm not even a digital artist and I still went through the first phase as a kid
ngl, the first time i ever seriously got into art WAS a phone .. and, with adhd, a phone is where i shall eternally stay. :'] (it feels 'faster' than big tablet screens or drawing tablets,)
Anyone else had that phase where they made like 10000000000 Million OCS but then only focused on your favourite one and only oc and really only built like lore mainly on that oc by fixating on them because thats the phase I'm in rn XD
as a person who draws on my phone, its not that hard when you get used to it-
0:30 I never drew on my phone but I DID have a "drawing digital art using a trackpad on a laptop" phase. I'd sketch it traditionally and then take a photo, email it to my laptop, then open some random browser art program and painstakingly trace it with the trackpad and patience.
As a person who uses a computer and mouse to draw, I can say it is 2x easier for me to draw on a phone or on paper, I have to use stabilizer with the settings cranked up, because if I don't my mouse will make all the lines weird(Idk if it's because I don't have a mouse pad), and I use the circle tool every time I draw a head because drawing circles with stabilizer on and a mouse is incredibly difficult for me. The mirror feature is a lifesaver.
this video makes me feel so old bruh i started out with cracked painttoolsai, mspaint and my mouse
a sub point for making too many ocs: making no more than ONE oc but making a bajillion aus for them
