Yoo 20 Days of improving your work! 🏃💨 Thank you for all the support and feedback! ❤️ I’m getting more submissions than ever, which is why I decided to start working on a mystery project which is going to help y’all improve your work even more! I’m taking the rest of the week to work on this project, and I’ll be letting you know more about it soon! 🤫 Coming back next Monday for Day 21, we just getting started 🔥
Hello! I was watching your videos and I enjoyed them a lot! I just want to ask something, can you add a comparison of the reference to your after fixing the drawing? Thanks a lot again!
I know people say this a lot, but it is true, your tips are actually helpful and don't change the artist's artstyle or anything, they just help to convey something better
Not really, tips do like proportions and stuff but usually this guy just adds shadow wich does look nice + is preferred better but makes everything too harsh in favour of realism which kinda just makes everything boring and regular
@@bryanroberts7703 the reason is people are going for realism, and realism isn’t just boring by nature (at least not in my opinion), plus, he literally enhances this one and makes it more visually interesting so idk what you’re talking about
@@bryanroberts7703 I think this is more just your personal opinion, What ive seen of this dude is he critiques people with mostly realistic styles so he "fixes" the shading based off of that because thats what the artist is probably going for Realistic shading isn't boring, It's the fundamentals I feel like anyone should know just because it helps a lot with shading
it was alive before, he made it look unnatural by changing it to fit his style. it was already quite good before he just changed it to match his style.
@@GP1x13 i'm not a professional artist so i don't know what he could've done better, but it's just my opinion that he did not improve the drawing as his version didn't match the style.
I think he just exaggerated the result to highlight the process, I assume that you would turn down the opacity of the layer for naturalism. it's mixing with green rather than black yea
The original one the artist uses grayish green as the bounce light, which is not how bounce light color works. It should be saturated/ bright and glowy. Learn how light and shadow works. Observe photos, see it for yourself, stick them to your brain so you can notice these mistakes.
omg i used to watch angel years ago and i just started seeing these on my fyp again yesterday... the hair looks crazy good man (on both the drawing and the guy himself)
I like the first one better, colors were good. I think contrast couldve been a little higher tho and render more details. The front of the face where the light hits has a lot more detail than the hair and ear. Theres a lot more balance between the smooth blending and hard edges I would just clean the ear and hair up a little bit more. The piece already looks great tho dont get me wrong, just a few spots I think stand out.
He’s taking the more logical approach theoretically on how light and shadow works. Beginner artists tend to ignore those thinking it’s their stylistic choice. Deep down they know there’s something wrong in their works, but too prideful to notice and learn from mistakes.
Style and lack of skills are two different things. you can have an art style but you can't ignore how light and shadow and anatomy works, especially if you're drawing something "realistically" or "semi realistically" while drawing existing unrealistic cartoons is a different thing
@Carolsnewssubs They’re clearly not a beginner artist. in this case it looks to be a stylistic choice. Here, he just changed it to match his style and it looks better before. Not everyone wants to draw this way. In my opinion, the before looks better and the saturation looks strange.
i’ve always rlly struggled with understanding light and reflection and highlights and shadows but just watching these videos has genuinely taught me more that 4 years of art classes
Wow it looks so good!! 😮 I think a couple other things that might be giving the artist that uncanny feeling is the slight difference in the positioning of the chin (in the reference the head is tilted slightly up) and the extra length in the bangs and lack of hair highlights on the side of the head.
Every time I think, I love how it looks in the before. And I think of how I would change it but mostly come up with smaller stuff and details. And then he always goes in with so much colour and I’m like naaah that’s waaaay to dark or way to green and then I see the end result and I am once again reminded why he’s the one with a big following and not me lol. It looked super good before, but the lighting afterwards was just wow
I just realized a tip from this video that might help my dear fellow tradition artists. So basically as the first part he fixed, like the muddy colors can be fixed in traditional artist by layering. First the skin tone's color but darker and over it a lighter saturated color. I mostly use it for Color pencils (hope this helps anyobe tht might need it ❤)
I do like the changes but I think the original artist wanted you to make the face more similar to the reference photo (I think maybe her left eye is too big but I'm really not sure)
Something that really comes up in your Videos are Lights and Shadows, I think its just so nice that you bring the importance of lights and shadows more in the front
You made it a more generic mainstream piece of art. The previous version is much better with a unique toned down look. Makes you feel fuzzy and warm. But it's a preference.
Both are really good! I enjoy the originals desaturated colors, it gave it an overall softer tone. I enjoy the edit because you brought out the brightness!
I usually find these kind of videos useless for me because I’ve been taking fine art classes for 6 years now but this actually pointed out something new to me. Sunlight certainly does complicate the lighting of a piece but I’ve never seen it broken down like this before. I’ve always figured it out by eye with varying results. Great job teaching!
Lowk i liked the original drawing more this time, this guy has a really specific theme and mark to the things he does, and i feel like the original theme was better in this case, more suited towards the original image. all that needs changing i think is the jawline should be less sharp, along with the angle of the face/eyes
Hiii! Could you maybe do a side by side comparison in your future videos? 😁 So that I don't have to click pause and play everytime I try to see the changes/improvements? 🥹
Close up and without context the green and orange saturated colours looked weird, but when you zoomed out it all made so much sense and really brought a lot of life into the picture
i think this person was more focused on changing the hair technique and anatomy than the colors, though this is nice too. i can’t really go much into depth in a youtube comment, but compare the left side of her face with the reference photo, mostly the silhouette, and you’ll see the problem her skull is a bit too big for her, and the eyes look tilted on the face using the grid method, learning how to use guidelines, or both will help you create an accurate sketch before rendering. also, be careful when rendering, especially when you’re making something really realistic like this. be sure to stick with the sketch you’ve made, and don’t change ANYTHING about the anatomy. i do this a lot too: i end up getting so caught up in rendering realistically that i accidentally change the sketch and proportions, and the drawing looks funky as for the hair, the colors are a bit muddy too i see that they added the shadows for the hair in lines, which is good, but hair also has highlights too. adding highlights with lines just like this person did with the shadows of the hair will make the hair look less blocky. adding some messy strands outside the hair shape is also a good way to make the hair look realistic i am by no means an expert, just someone who likes art, so please correct me if i’m wrong, or if you want to add anything to my explanation
Dude you have solved one of my main issues when trying to add different colors to shadows! Every time I tried to add the colors that where intended to bounce with an object or skin it ended muddy or with a lack of color (going into more grey values), time and time again every one of your shorts and videos has help me with an issue I had before when drawing, thank you so much!
i do love how stylistic and painterly the original is, but the edit is also pretty with more realistic, less hard edge more blurry, lighting. both are very good in different ways. i will say the original could use more saturation to add more contrast and the amount of saturation you added diverted a little too much from what i feel the original was going for, still beautiful either way. thank you for teaching us once again!
I love how this guy does this compared to other artists, especially how he says “improve this” instead of “fix this.” There’s way more appreciation in his content than in most of other people’s. He always makes sure to point out “I like how you did this, I see what you were doing: here’s what I would do in this case”.
I love this saturation tip lol. after I saw one of your videos I looked at one of my drawings and noticed this like "tf? why does everything look so colorless?"
I'd say it depends on what the drawing is trying to communicate. My guess is nothing and it's just practice, but I prefer the sickly white light and less saturated colors in the first one.
Снова первый вариант визуально больше нравится. Из-за всех этих "неправильностей" получился образ эльфийки. Существа не из нашей вселенной. А в вашей редакции - это явно обычная девушка с накладными ушами. Из-за достоверности, образ преобрел плоть, и перестал напоминать клок тумана, или нечто, примерещившееся вам в старой ветле под луной. Она стала слишком реалистичной для своего образа. 😊
The lighting is closer on the first one and the coloring, even though that spot looked "muddy", I think that if it were touched up some more, it would have been a closer color.
the colours looked more accurate to the reference than the after though. the ref's colours definitely arent that saturated, it makes the after look off. the green particularly looks way worse after than before... i think this artist should have just blended it more so it doesnt give this "muddy" look to it, but thats it. its already a very beautiful drawing.

He did tho? The aura of the first one was quite different. U don't need yo saturate all the time. The issue was with the proportions
Why is he so sweet in shorts..
Right? LMAO
He also posts the same videos on insta reels so if he was mean there he would be cooked
is he not sweet usually?
@@wizleanlolno, but he’s funny mean
@@wizleanlol not exactly... Kinda?
You made the drawing alive❤
don’t discredit the artist, it looks very alive even without the changes.
It was alive before

I actually liked the OG more for once. The lack of saturation somehow made the light feel harsher, which I liked.
Well yes but at the same time she literally look like she had a piece of snake's skin at the green-ish shadow
and it looked like a painterly style painting instead of a semirealism 3d render imitation
yes
@@eggeggeggegg6019 I thought it was a 3d render in the before. I cant tell know how someone can draw something looking like a render.
same it felt more serene and serious for some reason
I like the added saturation to the hair, but the I think the green in the shadow actually makes it feel more muddy than before
I think he just exaggerated the result to highlight the process, I assume that you would turn down the opacity of the layer for naturalism. it's mixing with green rather than black yea

@@CarolsnewssubsThis dont change that the green in the second image does not look good
Honestly I kinda like the first one more! I do agree with it being a bit too muddy on the left side of the face
omg i used to watch angel years ago and i just started seeing these on my fyp again yesterday... the hair looks crazy good man (on both the drawing and the guy himself)
Sameee!!
same
i used to watch him 4 years ago
and am happy i found him again
No but same he looks mad attractive
I remember when he was still an egg 😢
@@nikkistudio... he still is and will forever be an egg...in our hearts...😥

It depends on the look you're going for, I liked the more desaturated look, but it depends on your preference
He’s taking the more logical approach theoretically on how light and shadow works. Beginner artists tend to ignore those thinking it’s their stylistic choice. Deep down they know there’s something wrong in their works, but too prideful to notice and learn from mistakes.
it's just a rule of thumb that desaturated colours will make the area look muddy compared to other parts of the painting
Style and lack of skills are two different things. you can have an art style but you can't ignore how light and shadow and anatomy works, especially if you're drawing something "realistically" or "semi realistically" while drawing existing unrealistic cartoons is a different thing
@Carolsnewssubs Yeah but just look at the reference photo they attached- the light and shadows were never saturated to begin with
@Carolsnewssubs They’re clearly not a beginner artist. in this case it looks to be a stylistic choice. Here, he just changed it to match his style and it looks better before. Not everyone wants to draw this way. In my opinion, the before looks better and the saturation looks strange.
These are so helpful! I love them so much, they actually make me feel more confident drawing
I feel like also, the tilt of the face is every so slightly off - the reference is tilted every so slightly upwards
I think the jawline is a tad bit sharper too, and with the shadow it makes the face look sharper and narrower than the reference
Yes, the eye on the right is too high. Other than that I thought it was quite perfect. ❤
@@abhilasha9608 well of course the artist is gonna add their style into the drawing too. its not supposed to look 100% like the reference.
i’ve always rlly struggled with understanding light and reflection and highlights and shadows but just watching these videos has genuinely taught me more that 4 years of art classes
Wow it looks so good!! 😮
I think a couple other things that might be giving the artist that uncanny feeling is the slight difference in the positioning of the chin (in the reference the head is tilted slightly up) and the extra length in the bangs and lack of hair highlights on the side of the head.
Can we just appreciate how stunning the person in the reference picture is?!
Thats crazy honestly, i like both paintings
It’s like when a beautiful woman puts on some nice makeup. Like she was beautiful before but now she’s gorgeous.
Nah, I feel like the first one is better low-key, at least in the reflected light
he didn't fix the eye
yes
YES!
Yeah, now it is too green😵💫
wrd the green looks mad weird
Every time I think, I love how it looks in the before. And I think of how I would change it but mostly come up with smaller stuff and details.

It looked super good before, but the lighting afterwards was just wow
The original is so good already, full of emotions. After improvement it looks like im drowning in it. Its so good!
I like the before more here. It’s very soft and satisfying
I like the original more. I’d imagine she’s an earth elf, like a wood nymph creature. But now she looks…regularly beautiful…
Awesome job improving the draween!
The way you critique is so sweet and gentle, yet informative. Also thank you for preserving the art style!!
¡¡Esta bellisimo,adoro como dibujas!!💗💗
Thank you so much I needed this!!❤❤
That's crazy. Nice job.
You're amazing 😢😮❤
Wow that looks awesome , the after looks great , makes it pop nicely
I love how helpful his tips are
you have an incredible eye for these things

Sometimes I try to make guesses on what your going to fix, and I just could not see anything wrong. Beautiful before, beautiful after!
I do like the changes but I think the original artist wanted you to make the face more similar to the reference photo (I think maybe her left eye is too big but I'm really not sure)
You're a wizard, Ganev!
the drawing was already incredible but he manages to make it better 🤩
😂😂😂 I love that you said: you’ll stuck in the mud👏🏻😂😂
Something that really comes up in your Videos are Lights and Shadows, I think its just so nice that you bring the importance of lights and shadows more in the front
watching these are actually helping me understand art better
I’ve learn a lot from you, thanks bro
Bro rendered it so beautifully amazing
I've already watched this but I decided to watch it again and I'm still shocked ❤
Wow that was an amazing tip and tutor. The first is good but the second version imo is very good
I feel the OG was better in the green thingy. A bit more natural.

Thankyou for giving actual art critiques and help!! This advice just made me realize some mistakes on the current piece I'm drawing too, thankyou!
idk what there is about it this but i’m literally obsessed with the way you draw penguins (I’m obsessed with ur art this is amazing holy moly)
both are good, but you do amazing too0ooo

Hiii! Could you maybe do a side by side comparison in your future videos? 😁 So that I don't have to click pause and play everytime I try to see the changes/improvements? 🥹
The artist obviously used color picker. this video proved the importance of learning basic color theory + values
Close up and without context the green and orange saturated colours looked weird, but when you zoomed out it all made so much sense and really brought a lot of life into the picture
The green is way too strong in the after, but the orange on the cheeks is really nice.
I do like the added color but it definitely feels like it isnt the same art. Your touch ups made it more of a 3d drawing versus 2d
Wow i thought the before was perfect and you couldn't do anything but you somehow made it pop more with vibrancy
It brought that to life ❤
i think this person was more focused on changing the hair technique and anatomy than the colors, though this is nice too.
i can’t really go much into depth in a youtube comment, but compare the left side of her face with the reference photo, mostly the silhouette, and you’ll see the problem

А так спасибо за ваши вилио, вы очень помогаете разобраться с контрастом 💖💖💖
Goddamn!! The art was pretty good, but you made it even better!!! Thx for the video
your gonna be science and art teacher with this one
I'm glad that when u fix art u aren't rude like kooleen
I actually liked the before drawing better, looked more rough but liked that style
Just blew my mind 🤯
I actually liked the first drawing😊
This is the only one I’m on the fence about. I liked the first one a lot
i do love how stylistic and painterly the original is, but the edit is also pretty with more realistic, less hard edge more blurry, lighting. both are very good in different ways. i will say the original could use more saturation to add more contrast and the amount of saturation you added diverted a little too much from what i feel the original was going for, still beautiful either way. thank you for teaching us once again!
The start image is pretty good! :) Kudos to the artist!
I really love the style of this drawing and the eyes ☺️ regardless of the saturation helping, that artist is very talented
the fact the original looked 3d 😭😭 i thought it was like a 3d gfx or smth until i clicked
Okay but can talk abt how detailed the hair is??
Color theory is wild as heck
I love how this guy does this compared to other artists, especially how he says “improve this” instead of “fix this.” There’s way more appreciation in his content than in most of other people’s. He always makes sure to point out “I like how you did this, I see what you were doing: here’s what I would do in this case”.
Can't wait to see a nearly perfect drawing
It is insane how u turn amazing art into Amazing art
I WATCHED HER DRAWING THIS DRAWINGGGGG She has a great RUclips channel, and I love watching her videos❤
this man smart as hell
No lie but the drawing really looks beautiful
i don’t know, i think over saturation also kills the balance of colors. less is more. both versions are good
I love this saturation tip lol. after I saw one of your videos I looked at one of my drawings and noticed this like "tf? why does everything look so colorless?"
Yeeea,sure. Author fixed on this
Gotta say moon did slay that
I'd say it depends on what the drawing is trying to communicate. My guess is nothing and it's just practice, but I prefer the sickly white light and less saturated colors in the first one.
That additional orange shading was unnecessary for me cuz the background lighting didn't have such warm colour source
It looks great after, but I personally liked the background better when it was clear. Jaw dropping artwork though, the tips definitely helped it.
