testing twitter's art tips

i hoard these like a dragon but now it's time to actually see if they work, esp with my hyper stylized drawings???

Haley is so brave wading through the depths of twitter for us 💀

The sketch blur one is my favorite and I've been using it for months. I was always frustrated with line art and found it boring since I was just "tracing" my sketch, but now it feels more natural and freeing, and I feel like I play with the line width more.

2:48 you could definitely try this on one of your next “cartoon artist tries realism” videos!

I just want to say that your content has inspired me to start writing out the plot to a webtoon! You've helped me improve in my art and character design and I'm so thankful for it!

Lavender towne has been my main source of art inspiration since 2018 and omg I don’t think i would have improved as much as i have, or even stuck with art as a career choice

[jasminreyes]

The facial color blocking hack would be so cool to try on your yearly realism challenge!

I CANNOT EXPRESS MY ABSOLUTE ADORATION OF HALEY'S STYLE AND COMPOSITION- HOW DOES SHE DO IT?!

[nerdymooncat]

No matter how far you are in art, I think it can always be fun and sometimes even informative(?) trying art tips from fellow artists, even if you have different styles or you're a little skeptical. You might just learn something new 😄

The blur one blew my mind!

I wanna see more of this, because when I see an art tip on the internet and it doesn't work, I feel lost why everyone can use it so well. It's nice seeing not a super one-sided perspective on these things. The mask one especially drove me nuts lol

[anony_apis]

Knowing the blur sketch hack would have been so helpful to me ages ago! Still would be now but i do less digital now and my sketching is different. But i used to have really detailed sketches and i would have to line it so many times cause it just never looked as good as the first sketch, the biggest reason i ever got burn out when drawing

10:13 i have a super simplistic style and draw superhero characters with masks, and i can confirm that it is so much harder to place the facial features when you feel 'locked into' a mask. that's been my experience at least, i'm also curious to see if newbies find the mask tip useful!

[icequeen_J]

i always get so excited when i see you use your characters from the "professional character design" video :DDD

[InnerVerse-Smmy]

One thing I’ve started doing with my lineart is having a duplicate layer, making the color a brownish red color, setting it multiply, and then blurring it a little bit {like 2%}. I just like it ^^

I love how she is just casually talking while sketching that masterpiece on the first “tip” ✨😭🔥

[e.p.]

The tip about painting faces with colour undertones helped me so much from the time I found it ! I lean rather on semi-realistic, and it blends well, and it applies with non-human skin tones too (I like to draw aliens), it just helps so much !

[hell-incarnate]

was literally just checking out ur channel for another video and saw this one after 6 seconds of upload lmao
anyways-
ur art is super good and you've become an inspiration to many people and me! <3

I think the mask hack is more helpful when you're doing crazier head angles where you really squash the perspective.
When the head is tiled upwards or downwards I think it's normal for people to lose track of where the eyes fit on the skull. Using a simple shape like the mask to plot out the face can help you think about how your eyes are actually within a pit on your face instead of popping straight out.
Dips on the face will change a lot as the perspective changes, so for this hack I think you turning the head more would have put it to better use :)
Thanks for another cool video Haley! Always gets me thinking about drawing!

i adore the mask hack! ive been drawing for eightish years now, and i use it all the time. it definitely works better if your drawing style isnt as stylized--i feel like with Lilybell her eyes are so big you barely had room on the face for it lmao <3 but i love that one, it helps with facial angles--like seeing if the eyebrow would show at this angle, figuring out eye forshortening, and with extreme expressions. i also feel like your style is too volumetric to find much use from this hack, because i feel like the benefit of this is for light, coloring, and volume in the the cheek-eye-eyebrow-nose relationship, which isnt as useful with your chibi-ish style because everything is so shape-based

[neccodealer]

I definitely recommend, if you can, making your sketch mostly the construction. Indicate details so you don’t forget them but don’t put everything into your sketch. I personally use a bigger, softer brush for the sketch, and then a small inking tool for the actual lineart

You are one of the most inspiring artists to me! Yo motivate me to create art, even if it feels nagging, and in the end, im always glad that I did.
