Sam's Digital Art Tips: How to Paint Faster

If you've been following me on instagram you'll know that my pieces usually take around an hour to two hours, I'm going to share some tips with you guys about how I make these fully rendered paintings in a short amount of time.

"Why say lot word when few word do trick"

I never expected to hear someone use a phrase from Kevin Malone to explain his artistical workflow lmao

Thank you for the advices. I won't draw the 3rd eyelash next time

This man, Ethan Becker, Ergo Josh, Sinix Design, Alicja, and Jazza really helped me to become mature in art. Thank you all so much!

I was implementing some of your drawing techniques into my own art and I notice significant improvements. I think the key is to add the shapes and forms that have the most significance before adding in the smaller details.

All about dem simplified shapes 😉 good stuff!

I like setting timers for myself too. It really helps me to stay productive and not get distracted. If I'm drawing digitally, I'll record my drawing process on OBS and I'll look back on it to see how long it took me to draw and to see my own process back because it definitely feels a whole lot different when you're looking back at your process than you in the moment drawing

This is so true, Marc Brunet recently did a video aswell where he talked about zooming in and adding too much details early on keeps you wasting so much time for a painting. Using simple shapes is so much better...and I always forget that and keep zooming in way too often 😅😂 the part where you said like working long on the eyelashes and in the end Instagram just uses some pixels to ruin it hit me hard 😆 Again Great Video keep up the great work! 💯

It’s called expressionism, I’m trying to do like you because I really like your style to do photos study but like you said, it’s really hard to not focus on details 😆. You’re a real inspiration for me keep going !

You're not necessarily looking to reproduce a photograph but to tell a story.
Man you just gained a sub !

I've only found your instagram recently, but I love this simplified style! It communicates so much emotion and mood ^_^ Wishing you the best luck as your channel grows! I'm subscribed and buckled in for the ride.

Dude, thank's so much for starting your channel! It's kinda amazing how much progress you've made on YT in just a few months, congrats!

[Soli]

Omg I seriously needed this 😭 I’m ALWAYS overthinking and trying to do things exact. Thank you so so much for your tips! It’s definitely something I’m going to work on 🙏🏼

Loved the video! Thanks Sam! i love how you just chill and paint and talk its very relaxing to hear and see you painting.

[cloudisaurus]

Your art is so beautiful! You are such an inspiration for me. This video was super helpful!
Thank you so much for this!

[camii_Lu]

I found your channel today and I'm literally binge watching all your videos. I love your style and I find your advice really helpful! Keep it up!

[AldrinLabs]

Encouraging and inspiring. Checked out your instagram, love to see the progression and transformation of your style. Keep up the awesome work, Sam!

[andee]

She kinda looks like a brunette Alva from Klaus. Your lighting is always on point 💕

[faeyhahah]

One of the things I realised about you is you don’t really zoom in much when you draw which helps you to limit yourself from drawing those little unappreciated details! I’m gonna try it out too

[TheGeekosDen]

The way you capture light is amazing! Can we request a video on your light techniques? Your art is often hazy/bloomy/golden hourly and you manage to achieve great lighting visuals without over-complicating anything with details. Solid work.
