Last thing would be to flip your canvas and use the liquifly tool

that "color variation" is called subsurface scattering. it's when light passes through the skin and diffuses underneath. the color of it depends on the light, the skin, and the body part

The only thing “bad” about his art is all the characters look the same, but his work is amazing

[Lmao-zrbr]

He's very good at what he does, it helps that he draws the same face over and over again cause he's refining the one type hes good at.

[midnakisser]

The reason why he finishes it so quick is because they all have the same facial features

[ziggiplier]

He also doesnt use any time to make his characters look different

Edit: i also just want to add, i could say manny positive things abt sam because he is quite talented. However theres a few negative things i can say and thats okay because not every artist is perfect :)
(Including myself)

Edit 2: love that everyone has passionate opinions on here lol, again im not trying to hate on sam at all !! I just like giving criticism (as well as receiving it) with different artists! I think sam is very talented specifically in the way he colours his art, but when i used to watch his videos i noticed that a lot of his drawings look like the same face but with different hair/eye colour. Also i definitely see the appeal in his style because its very Disney cartoon vibes as-well as being vibrant! Anyways that is all :)

if you spend enough time drawing the same face just different hairs, you too can draw portraits in 1 hr

You can make relatively complex art quickly by doing some background work before you start your piece.

Familiarize yourself with your art style by creating a legend of different body parts and facial features at different angles, experimenting with different shapes and sizes.

This way, you’re not constantly struggling to figure out how a character should look, which will eventually speed up the drawing process.

As for easy colouring, start with your mid tone, your darkest ambient occlusion, and the tone between those two. After that, you can pull out additional values and add specularity. The closer to the light and the smoother the object, the more intense the specularity.

If it’s a darker object, reduce your range of values: matte dark uses a few darker values, shiny dark uses sharp gradations from light to dark unless it’s translucent, then it would need more values for a mirror-like quality.

The colour of the light shows up the strongest in shadows, but also a bit on the main tones, so if you have blue ambient light like the sky, there will be blue in the shadows of your subject, with smaller hints in the light. The stronger the light, the lower the range of values.

Consider using families of colour for your subject as well. Have a light and dark family for each different coloured object on it, and be sure the values are no lighter or darker than anything in the opposite family.

Like the video said, use big, sloppy zones of colour before you refine. This will allow you to preview how your piece will look before it’s finished and establish a visual language.

bro has a color variation for the neck shadow but never variates the skin color

“ There are many things i like to finish in many strokes”
— i like this guy.

He also fixes any wonky anatomy or perspective with the liquify and warp tools at the end

I genuinely developed a similar process to this because I enjoy the wild feeling of it and I hate being meticulous. 💀

[onigireee]

As much as I'm not into the style, I do agree with his methods to paint for the algorithm.

People seem to forget that artists aren't exactly machines and most are now stuck between working on more holistic artwork and painting stuff to post on time.
It's bloody fucking irritating when I have to carve out time from my day after working to paint the bloody social media piece, and _then_ work on my portfolio piece.

The pros ofc, are that you do improve a little or learn to streamline your process. Cons are that you don't actually improve a whole lot if you have to rush a post every/other day. Painting with focus is the only key to improving on the long haul.

It's weird, this new consume-and-trash culture we've got.

Sam basically admitted that he makes most of the subjects in his paintings have the same face. What’s impressive to me is his rendering, it’s really impressive

[notaverde]

I'm glad that I'm not the only one who doesn't use more than 2-3 colors to shade 😂
Less is indeed more, but not with all stroke-

[Scarletmoul]

I hope to draw like those artists, if I could, it would be a great dream😔

[HogwartsAlumniHere]

Sam is one of my fav artists. His style is very recognizable ❤

[hiimnew]

the real reason SDA can draw so fast is because hes been drawing the same woman with different hair for years.

[WeakerWeakest]

The first drawing you did wasn’t trash, in fact all you need is a few curved lines less retracing and if you want more free space but I think it looked quite stylized

[staria]

the "color variation" happens because when a shadow and color meet there is a transition color between the two
