It is, in fact, useless. In every rule of thirds composition you can put that thing and it will tell you nothing. Conversely, every composition constructed using the snail could as well be achieved with the rule of thirds.
nah dude that's what people say if they don't know how to use it. the golden snail isn't for locating THE focal point/s, it's a guide on how the elements of the composition flow. rule of 3 = focal points, golden ratio = flow.
@@lonestarr1490 actually no. This is more about wrong usage of golden ratio if you want to see an actual good example of correct execution i suggest you look up "last supper" by Tintoretto
Jesus, knowing the time had come, entered the Garden of Gethsemane to pray and plead with the Father that, if there was any other way for this work to be done, that the cup of suffering that He was facing would pass from Him. Jesus knew it couldn’t, so, in extreme stress, Jesus’ capillaries burst and He began to sweat blood. Jesus later was betrayed with a kiss, captured by the Jews, beaten badly, and then flogged. The Jewish customs commanded 39 lashes with the whip, which had multiple ends with metal, bone, and rocks in to cause extreme damage. Jesus, who was by now naked, beaten, and flogged nearly to death, had to carry a 100 pound part of His cross for about 1/3 mile until He couldn’t any longer, then Simon of Cyrene carried it the rest of the way. Jesus was then nailed to the cross through a massive nerve in His wrist and nerves in His feet, causing instant shock-like pains, then the cross was lifted vertically, followed by a large drop into the hole dug for it, causing massive pain. By now, Christ has experienced almost the full Roman crucifixion. As time passes on and the sky becomes dark with clouds, Jesus’ body begins to physically break down, acid/serum start to fill His arteries and clog up the blood flow, and He is exhausted from trying to breathe by pushing on the nails. When the time came for Jesus to die, He cried out asking God to forgive His accusers because they do not know what they have done, then He declares that it is finished, that sin has been dealt with, and that His time of suffering is over, and then He bows His head and willingly gives up His spirit. Jesus died before they broke His legs, had His side thrusted with a spear, releasing water and blood, and nailed through His hands and feet, fulfilling at least 3 specific prophecies written 600-1000+ years before He was born, including one that spoke of crucifixion around 1000 years before it was invented.
From someone who went from realism kiddie to adult who draws comic art: Realism was what people expected of me, and my more graphic comic artstyle developed by me having fun. Do what you love. No artstyle is the best, do what makes you happy. One of my art teacher said "Put on horse blinders, don't look left or right at what others are doing, only look ahead to where you want to be".
Heyo Mr Sam! Traditional artist here, what some of those other traditional artists were using was probably 8b-12b pencils, but! You can do this handy trick of mixing lead and charcoal plus a small amount of black gouache to make the BEST pencil shade, I like to put a bit of blue in mine hehe. ALSO, THE BIRBS ARE SO MARKETING YOUR AWESOME ART BOOKS THAT ADORABLE LONG LIVE THE BIRBS!
11:14 I believe the guy was drawing from references earlier, probably using some sort of guided tutorials,etc for learning those anatomical sketches..but later decided to draw from what they have learned, hence, wonkier drawings. As no exact reference was used, and they are just drawing from memory/trying to create a character design. I feel its not about skill deteriorating but rather coming up with character designs' creative aspect.
I wouldn't call myself an artists cos I suck because I never practice, but when I do happen to sketch, I favor HB for sketching, 2B for refining the lines, and 6B for shading. I assume the tiktokers are using 4B/6B so it shows up better on the camera.
As a kid I never used anything softer than HB, because those I could erase, while everything else was basically permanent. And I erased a lot. I think there hasn't been a single line I drew exactly once up until the age of 16 or so.
@@lonestarr1490because those pencils are more so used for shading really dark spots and usually not for sketching. The lighter pencils are supposed to be flr sketching lol (its not a set rule but just telling you there's nothing wrong with not using them and they're supposed to be harder to erase cus its basically like charcoal)
my art teachers used to teach us to use grid method because they couldnt be bothered to actually teach us to draw, i have such a grudge against them, developed observational skills out of pure spite
2:22 I went years doing this, not only with faces but with drawing anything in general. That's why it was so hard for me to learn to use a grid when I joined a fine art class. I always just measured everything in my head, and it worked really well but we weren't allowed to do that. They literally had to watch over my shoulder to comfirm I wasn't, in fact, tracing. Personally, I hate tracing because I find it limiting for my pencil strokes or with whatever medium I'm using, but to each their own. To this day, I still hate grids and will avoid them like the plague. I went back to measuring proportions my way, and I'm proud of my art.
That phase of changing your style is so frustrating💀🙏 I used to to a ton of realism but I couldn’t put the pieces together to make an actual person, so I was and am changing my style a lot🙏
Hi Father Sam 🙏🏻 . I've been a graphic designer for over two years . I've always loved drawing as a kid but haven't done drawing for years now , your contents inspire me to start drawing again everyday. Thank you dad.
I remember when I started drawing all the guides and books I used to read spoke about grids. I hated that method so I never bothered to try it. I just learnt proportions and how to draw different things in relation to others
I agree that you don't need professional quality stuff to be a good artist but, it doesn't hurt either. It's amazing what people can make just using their supplies from art school.
I normally don't often comment on videos but 3:59 are Leading Lines. They are composition lines that draw your eye toward the subject. In that example, it's the two lines where the wall connects to the floor, where the wall connects to the ceiling, and the top of the door frames. Obviously amazing video as always~ Just thought I'd explain a bit more to help people wondering why they have the arrows there~
The one and only reason I went to digital from traditional.... I don't have to buy paper now Thaaaats it that's the wonderful thing of it (and eraser smudges/hand smudges) Other than that, give an artist a stick and some dirt. The ✨creativity✨ is priceless and it's already in you baby artists! KEEP PRACTICING!! And keep CREATING!
You’ll never know what I wrote. Also ngl, I hate when people say that they need expensive stuffs to draw good. Like I draw fine with ibis paint and if we’re speaking traditional, I can also draw well with a pencil I stole from a kid (no I didn’t steal) but the problem is I need a good eraser
I like a blue colored pencil for sketching and then go in with a graphite pencil on top. Which graphite really depends on my mood, could be either in the H or B range.
Dark leads are so much fun! The softest I have is 10B. I highly recommend playing with them, they are fantastic to blend with because they are so soft, but they also smudge like nobody's business so use a fixative. Also, that Art Baby Kitten is so freakin cute I either need that as a shirt or sticker (or both) or I'll just need to draw my own version! Mine will be a calico. Though if you make it I'll buy it. I'm way too far from Toronto to get one myself.
To add to the point of not needing expensive art supplies: I’ve switched to digital art and I’ve learned that you don’t need to use or work with all the fancy brushes that others use if you don’t want to! I literally use the default pen!
as a trad artist: mechanical pencil i use 0.5 mm lead B graphite, for normal pencil anything from B - 2B, but sketching w 6-8 B is also really fun, i have not too many lead variations tho so i have limited options with non mechanical pencils
Little traditional art tip I have to interject with, get good paper. Use the cheapest markers, paints, pencils, whatever medium it is, but as long as you have semi decent paper, it'll be great. Not even the arches 100% cotton stuff, regular construction paper and stuff like that works too, just make sure its got a little more thickness than regular printer paper, that's it.
The message he's conveying around ten minutes in is very true. I literally have only ever used paper, mechanical pencil, hard work, and practice to get to my current skill level. Now I can draw very detailed art works and it's because I forced myself to put hours into my works. But don't get me started on color. No. I suck. That's a closed book. 🤣
hi sam i just got my new drawing tablet and im switching from traditional to digital art! can you please make a video about all what you need to know about digital art ?
Heh. I use bic mechanical pencils and 70¢ folkart acrylic paints. 😂 Oh and crayola crayons and colored pencils. I raid discounted school supplies. So no, expensive art supplies are not necessary.
I will say that when people convince themselves that the skill difference is between products is because most of the time people with more experience have the fancier things and some people might unconsciously associate time and skill with supplies and resources.

Fun Fact: the old masters used the grid method to quickly put out paintings. It's a shortcut not a training method.
Especially in big ateliers with dozens of journeymen, where, in lack of printers, they made copies by hand.
