The way he paints every stroke so confidently is just full of the exaggerated swagger of a pro artist

[bhavyabhardwaj]

Brain: easy
Hand: we don't do it here

[jstnadavos]

Me: Seems easy enough
Pencil: You’re not that guy pal…your not that guy

[johnmazzarotto]

You make it look and sound so effortless, for the people feeling like they can’t do it keep in mind he still took a whole day to create this, not just the 10 minutes it took to explain it.

[LucasPeinador]

Thank you very much for watching guys! Please tell me if there is anything you would like to have explained better :)

The Skill! The quality! The CONFIDENCE! Iconic.

This is so well made!! I love how u didn’t start with a sketch and immediately show a fully created piece hoping the viewers would understand but ACTUALLY EXPLAINED SO CLEARLY!!

[justforthetv]

Would love to see you draw more like this. The colors are amazing so is the small stature, everything. Thanks for sharing, Lucas.

I literally just searched how to paint charecter's and this popped up! Great video man, keep it up.

[graciebells]

You don’t know how happy it made me when you said the first step was references. I NEED references but I always thought that “actual” artists didn’t use them and I just needed them because I just art as a hobby :))

This is one of the most helpful videos on procreate. Even though our styles are very different, it really helped me figure out my workflow, and draw more efficiently

When you said “Paper! Snow! A ghost!” I IMMEDIATELY thought of Friends

Hey Guys tip here: if you tried to colour drop and it fill up all the page instead of a specific part, you have to adjust your colour drop threshold. To do so hold down to the colour instead of releasing it to the specified spot then a message will pop up at the top telling you how great your Threshold is (slide your pencil left and right to adjust it) the lower the percentage the more specified it will be. Like the comment if it help you to let more people see it please.

So useful!! I’m going to watch this video so many times, so many great tips! Thank you! Being in comics I’ve always been hyper-focused on b/w and lineart, now I really want to take thing to the next level and learn painting and colouring on a pro level, and this video is a super helpful starting point! Thank you so much!

[sarsetta]

I found this video by chance on the YouTube wall, and I'm really so happy to have seen it because it inspired me to improve myself. Obviously the first thing I did once I finished was sign up and see the rest! You are a fantastic artist!

[demonitize]

Don't worry I won't copyright claim your video, cause I need the tips too

[finnd]

When he talks about masking and you don’t know what it is: 👁👄👁

[fathomlesscrazy]

I'm horrible at drawing animals yet the first time I'm doing a digital painting, the first time I'm using this technique, and the first time I'm drawing Toothless, is all in one canvas. I loved this video and I hope to use this more in the future!

[AirSignTV]

As someone that is getting back into the art world this boosted and killed my confidence at the same time

[dannyboygregory-mccormick]

I want procreate even more now! Those effects and that easy drag and drop fill! Your art is clean and luscious it hurts. Thank you for posting 💖
