Clothes folds are definitely my weakness

[Nyxaeia]

I am one person in a very small group of people who actually zoom in on other people’s art, and it’s for two reasons.
1. I enjoy seeing the details and analyzing every little detail (thanks to autism)
2. Sometimes I genuinely cannot see it that well (thanks to being legally blind)

Never have I been so glad someone yelled at me for my mistakes, thank you my favourite artist I'm obviously subscribed to 🙏

Me looking at the thumbnail: "Well, I guess I stop being left handed then"

I completely agree with the 5th point. For beginner artists, the gpen can really make their art look bad if they're not experienced enough to use it. When I started, I used gpen too (as pretty much any beginner does) then switched to softer brushes with less opacity. I was a firm believer that soft brushes look the best for anime art until I came across an artist called Anmi who uses hard brushes with varying line width and gaps, which gives her work a traditional ink look. And oh boy was I mesmerized by all of her art.

After 6 years I've returned to using hard brushes for my lineart thanks to her (and now that I've actually improved the hard brush lineart doesnt look like crap lmao)

Here are some things about lineart, maybe they will help someone:
1. The easiest thing you can do to make your lineart look better is to add more lineweight in shaded areas.
2. You can also make lines thicker, when the object are closer to the camera and lighter, when it is further.
3. Try lining with not black. A very dark blue works best for me.

And bonus tip: if understanding with what color to shade is hard try dark purple on a multiply layer with about 50-60% opacity.

On the fabric folds thing, fabric thickness plays a big role in it. The thicker the fabric, the more organic the fold shapes will be. For example, if you look at a fuzzy blanket, it's folds tend to be a mix of both smooth round shapes and sharper straighter lines. However, if you look at a thinner fabric, it will tend towards sharper folds. So, if you're drawing a cozy fuzzy cape or sweater, use more rounded fold shapes, but if you're drawing a comparatively thinner t-shirt, for example, go for the sharper angles when drawing the fabric folds.

I'm actually impressed that it's not cookie cutter advise, I usually expect very little from youtubers with top 5's but this is genuinely helpful. Nice work :))

I like how you casually implied to sub

Usually videos like these have the same information that's been repeated multiple times before, but I actually learned something watching this. These are some useful tips, especially on the contrast

[KAZ-ovzk]

Good tips + Great editing + I like your glasses

[ptches]

4:00 WHATT I COULD HAVE BEEN DOING THIS?? This is life changing.

[name-wvte]

this is actual mistakes most artists makes and no bs stuff, nice advices too thx bro

[erichall]

I think the part about unity is spot on. Just looking at a lot of amateur stuff, the details sometimes look incredible, yet the overall figure is not correct.

[ernanimonteiro]

literally talked today about how my art seems flat and inconsistent. This video gave greats advice on addressing those issues. Great video!!

[zenmaku]

i notice my first mistake which is wasting my time drawing the smallest detail and perfecting them when people that are going to see wont notice them. i start noticing it because the art im making took 44+ hours to finish and im starting to question my self what i been doing all this time. so i decide to take a break from drawing and spent time watching speedpaint, stream painting and analyzing the art style that i like or from an artist that i like. and i notice it kinda messy when you zoom in too close. so i start analyzing all the art in a close zoom to see how messy or how the art was done.
so when im done analyzing and watching art video. i decide to put it into practice. which is, i dont perfect my line art, it doesnt have to be perfect, it has to look right and believable in a whole view of the art. i sometime fix my line art with the transform tool. as for coloring, i use mogoon and mignon technique way of coloring, shading, lighting and rendering. and oh boy did i see the difference. now my art took only about 10 to 15 hours to finish and it look even better. and i also play around with the filter too, i use noise effect, gaussian blur and chromatic aberration to make my art stand out a bit.

Hmm I think this Video fixed Abit of my ADHD thanks man 😭

[imagominus]

Oh, overcomplicating is definitely something i tend to do, along with forgetting about depth.

Guys understand, you can’t get better at drawing without The first tip isn’t really wright either, just because his favorite artists draw with simple shapes and not much details (what’s totally fine) doesn’t mean that drawing detailed and soomed in drawings is bad. You probably draw faster soomed out but if you draw for fun, the time you need to make a nice drawing isn’t that important and you should focus on different weaknesses. I don’t wanna offend everyone this is just what I think about this video.
