art tip to make your drawings look ~fancy~ #shorts

Me, an intellectual: *cleans the sketch until it looks fairly like a lineart*

[hijinksstager]

That's actually really interesting. One time when doing a commission, I made a sketch for the "rough draft" of the design, and I show them. They really liked the sketch. But it was just an idea, so when I did the outline, it was in a completely different style. I was trying to go for more corporate look, but they said they liked the sketch. So I drew an outline specifically for the sketch... and then they said "no, like that actual sketch" they just wanted me to clean it up a bit. I couldn't believe it, the sketch was even better than what I first thought it would be.

I second all of this. When I stopped trying to make my line art clean, it started looking 1000x better.

Finally someone says that not having smooth and perfect lineart is also good😭 i personally prefer the wonky lineart lol i dont understand all the hate

“Add a texture on top”
Me, a traditional arist: ...Dad, where did we put the sandpaper?

[TheFlamingGamerYT]

Ooh, this is pretty good. I’ve never thought to do this, since I only really draw on paper for now. I do wanna do digital art one day, so seeing how having similar matching color hues works is great for me in advance. I probably would’ve struggled if I didn’t see this and just tried without understanding how to make color hues match well beforehand. Thanks LavenderTowne! I hope your weekend is going well!

What I learned is to draw a sketch and erase the messy lines while going over with cleaner lines to make a sketchy line art, it takes away the painful lineart process and makes drawing so much funner, better and easier for me <3

Also, putting a bright bright color underneath everything can help you catch the tiny holes that'll appear when you work with light colors on a white canvas

This is really great. I’d also recommend using clipping masks- they seem scary but a 2 minute tutorial will completely change how you create digital art. Do what makes you happy and play with perspective if you feel as though your art looks to flat. Colour burns and overlays are great. If you wanna learn it, there’s a tutorial.

I don't really do digital art, just sketches on paper, but this video actually makes me feel more confident and gives me some inspiration :)

[bobthelog]

I remember having an art book filled with sketches because I was too afraid to do line art because it looked like a TRAIN WRECK 😭

This helped a lot, tysm!

"And then slightly lower the opacity"
Me, a traditional artist: *Guess I'll die*

That underlaying color thing is so wonderfully simple, yet so effective.

Them: *has a good line art pen*
Me: *aggressively tries to recreate it in IbisPaint*
Edit: guys this comment was made months ago I did a buttload of research💀 but thanks for the advice anyways

[pasteldragon]

dude tinting art (thats what i call putting one color beneath the whole thing, idk if thats what its called or not) is a great way to unify your colors. i consider myself to be a begginer but trust me on this one, tints are _lifesavers_ xD

[BlackKisa]

Oh, I do so love your shorts with tips!

"Find a brush that you like" is way harder than it sounds. I feel like I've been struggling for years, and still have no idea.

What brushes do you like to use? Are they in Clip Studio asset library?

[lemon]

I remember when i first figured out that line art didnt need to be perfect and all cleaned up
my love for art skyrocketed haha

[iAmTheOreo]

i just love the roughness of sketches and the fact that there is no finality to it it’s like there’s a spiritual freedom to the sketch

[hakirose]

Me, using flipaclip, violently staring at my four brushes:

Okay

Now what—

"are you an artist that tends to love your sketches but then hate the finale product?"

*The finale product coming out like a literal masterpiece*
