How to draw like LAM (Bold graphic anime illustration style) | Artist Study

LAM is a Japanese illustrator well-known for creating unique colorful anime illustrations using bold graphic elements. Many of us probably know him for his vtuber, games and music video illustrations. In this video, I tried to figure out LAM’s secret techniques and showing you shortcuts for creating the artist’s iconic style, as well as, my attempt in replicating his style.

[swisdom]

Damn this video is so darn precise and detailed! Now this is what you call an artist study... I need more of these videos. Imma take a hella lot of notes of how you analysed the art

I'd actually like to see a breakdown of Lack-sensei's art, Shiranui Flare's illustrator.
I've recently tried and failed to see what his process was, and I was hoping to get a new angle on it before I tried again.
You have this willingness to learn which makes you different than most art teachers, and it's really refreshing!
Keep up the awesome content!

[wishisimple]

The editing is on top! My favorite parts will always be your practice and attempts, they look very good!

Man ur presentation is an art by itself, im sure many company would pay for the way u present stuff.

[fordbuan]

This video is professionally made, bravo!! I've always been a fan of LAM's illustrations, i couldn't thank you enough knowing the presence of LAM!

before knowing LAM, i already interested with Mika Pikazo artstyle. both of them love using vibrant colors and ornaments, but LAM have this unique style when drawing eyes. and the chara that LAM draws, always the"skinny"type.

i only got interested in LAM's artwork because of his vtuber model designs, and its made me realize that with pro artists such as LAM you really have to be confident about your technique. And thankyou for making this video ive been very uninspired lately but this makes me want to get back into my art and draw more

LAM is one of my favorite artist, I searched him up and this is how I got to this channel. I love what you do and I think it's really useful! Subbed for sure, I would also really appreciate it if you can break down Sui Ishida's Works (Author of Tokyo Ghoul) it's been my inspiration for art since I was a kid.😁

Your ability to learn and study these artist is astonishing!

[totallystevens]

HOLY CRAP the second ones is so accurate

[ScarletAnh]

Low key the best thing in this video is how to break down an artwork and derive the bullet point from that. That imo is the most necessary skill any artist need to practice ❤
Cheers for the great video and editing, glad I found out your channel 😊

[sven]

LAM has to be one of my overall favorite artist of all time. As someone who is learning art, these videos are priceless. Trying to get into the head of these great artists is so interesting.

[skygazer]

LAM style is very eyecatching and very cool!
Even though I'm not an artist, I still find it interesting how you breakdown LAM's style. Very good video!

[karumida]

You don't any idea how I am so grateful to find this video and channel.
I've been planning to study LAM's art style, but I don't know where to start, and you breakdown it how LAM do his artworks.

Do Hews's style next. :333

[RuneCarterCh]

This is insane dude!! I making illustration for 4 year and still need a lot to learn from this video. how can this course can be free in youtube, you're a real MVP. The way you re breaking down the illustration is very easy understand and really make me want to study their artstyle as well.

[tokokota]

Your video is great, the analysis is on point and the editing is awesome👍
For me, LAM color is not the only stand out points, but also his illustration. His bold and swift line really catch my interest, and he is the illustrator of Kureiji Ollie one of my favorite Vtuber
