Sketching is easy, actually (ATOMOON's Secrets)

What can studying Atomoon teach us about how to draw like an art god? In this video, I’ve broken down Atomoon’s art process from carefully studying the artist’s art process, and here are the lessons that I’ve learned that can be applied and used for both traditional artists and digital artists. This video focuses on the drawing/sketch part of the art process, but the lessons extend into the painting part as well.

I never delete my sketch, I hated the idea since the beginning. This guy has my instincts, I'm glad I found this video.

Sketching is so much fun traditionally but I always feel awkward on my iPad and worse on my XP Pen.

[YuKi-bqtd]

His process is actually similar to painting with oil paint! I do this with my digital arts to make my art look more tradtional-ish than digital,
also tip: do not zoom too much to save time :3

[No.Thank.you.]

Sketching is one of the hardest things of drawing because if your sketch looks messy it is SOO hard to lineart and then your lineart looks like garbage, so these tips help sm 😭😭

Even not for the artist who desires this style, every artist needs to really watch this video--because every artist needs to let go of perfection in art. 🙏

Process is called "Block-In"

In Academic Classical Drawing

1. Block-In (Simple Shapes)
2. Notan (Light and Shadows)
3. Modeling (Blending)
4. Refining (Small Details)

amazing video btw!!!!❤

I absolutely love this style! Incorporating the refined precision of graphic art with the softness and layers of realism and traditional art. Absolute joy to look at! This is the type of style. I strive for in my own work and feels natural to me.❤️

Wait, I have been working this way ever since I first got my hands on iPad w/ Procreate. I work really fast too but I always felt like my early stages were way too messy and that I rely on smudge too much and that people would criticize me for it. It's strangely validating to see a video that discusses the advantages of working this way, as well as to see that I'm not the only artist doing this.

My tablet that I use to draw on stopped working randomly so now I either sketch on paper, take a photo of it and send it to my laptop, or try to sketch on my laptop 😭 but the point is I want to learn this technique, it's pretty cool

[ProductivelySuspicious]

I used to draw like this when I was bored in class. I would start with a black canvas, and use a white chalk-like substance. I would first layout some starting noise, and then kinda imagine what it looks like, then slowly refine it using a smudge eraser. It worked surprisingly well, considering how bad my art was back then.

Bros so advanced he shades b4 drawing 😭

[qingyue]

Pls do more analysis of anyone's art u like.

[ferd]

I used to do this a lot as a traditional artist, I couldn't improve until I learned how to use my digital tools like this

[Cuteemogirl]

I love this. It's basicakky trust the process

[Hannah-fobc]

glad I found your content! this speaks to me more than what we usually do. I don't know why I didn't think of it considering how people suggested I try sculpting instead when they see how I draw and hear how I lament about not being satisfied about the process of refining things. I currently don't have the mental energy to learn a whole new program so this is a really cool technique to try!! thank you

[momsischannel]

His sketching smudging becomes the shadows, very cool

[bisha-_-]

😭Well, every time I watch you, I get a passion for drawing 😔🤌🏻

[ryncloud]

I love the video! You’re concise while also explaining things properly. Thank you! I’m a new subscriber btw 💕

[dannyhuang]

It's much closer to painting than line art. I think of line art as a separate category since it's more constrained form of drawing since it limits what counts as successful representation.

[YUINJOTI]

THIS was how i do drawing, rough sketch and smudge then refine, one of the reason i hate coloring 😅 thanks for elaborated it
