@@zuhaal-ethari3695 I don't think so. Others have said as well it's not necessarily bad. Only 5 months too. Haters gonna hate. Others, who are achieving things, usually are more focused on achieving that pointing out odd things with hate and using bad grammar and bad spelling, like OP. ;p
This is VERY true. I'm in my mid-20s and never did art much, but on a whim decided to pick up a tablet and am having so much fun! Plus, little by little, I am seeing improvements in my work!
Infinite paper, paper that is as big and wide as you want, CRTL + Z, colors, NO ERASOR MARKS, the possibility to Zoom in to fill small spaces that you couldn't fill otherwise.
@@ivanaskodric7506 it allows you to draw on a different layer, but still draw within the objects you put in the layer you clipped it to if that makes any sense. For example you drew a circle, you made a new layer and clipped it to the layer with the circle, whenever you draw in the new layer you'll only be able to inside said circle. Unless you unclip it ofc.
@@ciocio-san It's perfectly okay! Some people actually like the look of that style in animation, some animated films don't even have line art at all! Like Song of the Sea (I think that's the name of the film)
I'd definitely use pressure sensitivity, but I'd use a brush that doesn't "fade out". So the lines vary in thickness but not in opacity. But that's also my personal preference!
In fact, I avoided it (and gradients) like the plague; equally as bad as over using it; my art improved so much! Sure, there’s nothing wrong with shell/hard shading, but it had done so much good for my art to just use the air brush tool! (E.g. gradients on hair, more interesting blushes, etc)
I got obsessed with the cloudy or newsy watercolor I learned pretty quick (in like 5 months lol) that the blending was horribly messy to the point it didn't look good and then I got uh depressed again ._. Now I layer with a thin opacity airbrush size max, using the lasso to color inside the lines. It looks genuinely gradient now :D Edit: Opacity ranging between 6% and 12%
About the brush mistake. I just want to clarify for others going into or wanting to go into digital art. I heard from multiple forums, comments and youtubers that brushes did not an artist make. I took it to mean, I am a terrible artist if I can’t draw without standard brushes first. So I would not install other brushes before drawing a piece with the standard gimp brushes. But when I first started I could not make shit. It took sooooo long to make a proper color transition and it was still terrible (using gimp standard brushes). I installed some other brushes. And would you know it. Instant improvement. I went from not being able to draw a sphere properly, to easily drawing portraits. Just putting it out there. They don’t improve your skills true, but brushes you like and can work with efficiently are super important and a MAJOR time saver. Don’t make my mistake and take it as a challenge when you first begin digital art. Unless you’re suuuuper patient in getting the effect you want or just like your standard brushes. Or have experience with digital art first.
and if ur on ibispaint u can play with the settings of the brushes lol i found a brush and changed the opacity of the ends and the overall brush and holy
I have similar problems related to this. Will see an artist do something and go "how did you get that so smooth?" and "how did your lines come out like that?" 9/10, it is a setting or tool I didn't know existed and once I learn it is there, I fly with it and get so much better. Sometimes the base brushes don't give you that exact look you are trying to do. I could never figure out how to "draw glitter" and someone gave me a brush and taught me how to use it and now my drawings can have a cleaner look to it rather than me attempt to draw each "speck" and copy/pasting it.
I find the same to be SO TRUE for tablets. The change from pen to screen is so so big. While you can make great art on a pen tablet, having a screen makes the biggest difference
The amount of people that don’t seem to realise that an iPad IS a tablet is mind boggling. Drawing on an iPad with an Apple Pencil is no different to using a display tablet. It’s a tablet.
Its literally better and cheaper and more useful and handier like ... Honestly not dissing people who have digital tablets and stuff but... Its way less strong. And less professional. But it depends on who you are and your choices but personally I think it's great
You don't even need a stylus, I draw with my finger on my Samsung tablet and I can still make nice art. So you can make digital art by just getting a cheap phone and downloading ibispaint, or medibang, etc.
fragiledate mmm I can disagree. Wacom is not the only company that sells graphics/screen tablets. Companies such as Xp-pen and huion (I think) are selling SCREEN tablets for like half the price Wacom sells their cintiqs and they are coming close in quality. I wouldn’t want to spend over 1000 for an iPad Pro (or another iPad idk the prices) or a cintiq over a screen tablet about 500 that is just as good. Although the iPads definitely let you move around freely and it’s great for travel.
@@mariwade6061 2018 standard model ipads are 300-400 euros and are applepen compatible. i use one to draw, ipad pro is definitely not necessary to get if you dont have the money
but display tablets need a computer to hook up to most of the time. ipads are their own thing and can be taken anywhere. an ipad is a tablet, but it has more features. personally i think its the best drawing tablet just because you can do other things on it other than drawing, and its easy to carry on the go.
Me: *a beginner in digital art* hmm I wonder if I'm doing anything wrong lemme check this video out *sees mistake one* *doesn't have a tablet* Me: well then....
Heh. Don't worry, I think most of us started with a mouse and ms paint. If you want a small tip, try impressionistic paintings - they're probably the easiest for mouse and arguably even for finger painting, and beautiful.
I started on my phone and it was a great practice!! If you have a computer you can use ibispaint it’s more like a tablet but if not a phone is perfectly fine. Even if it’s not practice and you use your phone forever it’s completely fine. Phone art is way cool!
thats not a mistake at all!! so many people use their PHONES to draw and its on professional levels lol. its a matter of getting used to your medium and using the tools available to you
I remember using my fucking trackpad for YEARS. FINALLY broke down and got a cheap wacom tablet. Eventually upgraded to a screen tablet. There really is no comparison in terms of ease of use as an artist.
I definitely wanna get a display tablet. I've used a cheap, laggy and unresponsive at times regular drawing tablet. I'm making more money these days, and live in the Philippines now instead of America, where I'm from (I'm from infamous Miami, FL). Making money beyond just a 9-5 wage slave or even worse, a 9-5 wage slave college/university graduate that was duped in by infamous Goldman Sachs and others, with lots of debt to work off. California Exodusssss. LULLLLLLLLLLLLLZ. The left and right really suck. Around half of America doesn't vote. Those votes would automatically win third party and we'd finally have one in the history of our country that was formed in 1776. Too much propaganda from the left and right. Thankfully Muhammad Ali Jr and others educated in history and who don't cherry pick ideas, call out BLM for being racist and hoodlums. That's another reason I don't listen to a lot of Hip-Hop lately, because the drugs (including one of the worst, alcohol), blame game, abusive lyrics to women, degrading themselves with a slang to a word that isn't even racist by original definition, etc. If America is so bad, people could stop watching, playing, listening to anything with White people (who mostly didn't have slaves, many Whites in there and around the world are poor, etc), could go to Africa, but really no one wants to live in a majority of that continent with the much slave trade (from before as to now by Blacks selling Blacks), beheading, rapes, HIV/AIDS, ebola, mass starvation (mostly to do with most of the world not being vegan), etc. Clearly the mass liar and puppet, Obama, didn't help there (too busy lying about cannabis from him advocating for legalization to end many problems, continuing the illegal wars he said he was against, and a bunch of other shit.) Hopefully it gets better there and I'm glad China wants to come to here in the Philippines, as well as has been going to Africa to aid. It's not that accurate with a phone and a higher priced pen, even with the Wacom pen they say aren't much different. The positioning is usually off if you're not drawing dead on the point on the screen. Also, yeah, you cannot touch the screen while you draw. You don't need to buy an overrated, sweatshop made, limited, weak battery, etc average iPhone. Especially since many are saying the quality has gone away since Job's passing (#GoVegan
I’m saving up for a tablet, I need 80 more dollars tho. Im getting closer, but like I’m buying one with a screen so it expensive! 😤 I’m a 100% traditional artist as well but I’d like to try digital art more, especially with the right equipment.
I use the tiniest tool on paint tool sai the zoom in till I see pixels for the irises. I don’t do this to anything else but my irises HAVE to be abnormally detailed even if absolutely no one will ever be able to tell
*screams in LG phone and IBIS Paint X featuring my finger and sometimes a stylus* Edit: As of September of 2019, I draw on my Chromebook (it flips into a tablet) and I still use Ibis Paint X. My art is significantly easier to make and I have improved a lot. I should change that pfp 😂
@SLUGGJELLY sweetie, when I mean poorness I really mean poorness. I don't even have a computer, how can I have a Wacom?😂🤦🏻♀️ Not even the cheapest one, I can't make money. I'm young and, even if I can work, my parents don't let me so I'll just die waiting for Christmas to receive some money to save. :'))
@Jamela Moore I draw in a Samsung that my mother gave me like 6 years ago.😂💔 It's old so I can't improve in art like I would do it in a drawing tablet. There's no much variety of colors and I don't have too much capacity to make big drawings or too much "capas". It's broken but I'm saving money to pay for a computer and then the Wacom (or other drawing tablet, idk)
@@Sputterbug ik, ik, just a jooooookeeeeeee. I already did the research, but getting the computer and also the drawing tablet it's better. (getting a computer can help me also for school and other stuff so I don't want to get it JUST for drawing).
Aaaa nooo don't be scared xDD haha!! Gradients can be AWESOME! I always buy these super amazing stickers from an artist at conventions and she shades them with gradients and they look amazing! But they don't look like any of the old art I showed in the video haha! She has learned to make them sooo pretty and so can we all ❤️ Just keep at it ~ there are great AND bad ways to use any of the tools xD
@@Nadiaxel haha yeah. I'm slowly getting out of the habit of shading with gradients as my friends already pointed out not to, but I still use small amounts of gradient for hair that is multiple colors, eyes, and clothing designs :)
agree on basically everything, but, the whole “don’t draw on phone, use a tablet” thing is extremely dumb. I use a Wacom One tablet, but saying that someone can’t make it if they’re using a phone, is just objectively wrong. It’s like a professional water color artist telling a charcoal artist they can never make it because they use a different medium. I have multiple friends who use ibis or medibang and are extremely talented, on a professional level.
agreed. i use a mouse for my art and i used to use a tablet (kindle). i can understand how tablets can be easier for people but she didn't really say that you don't need it
Yeah that made me pretty mad. I use a mouse and my laptop and its going fine, it's also scaring away potential digital artists from doing their best. that's like telling someone new to painting, you have to buy this extremely expensive oil paint for you to make it. that's not true at all! especially if you're new to it. tablets are great but they can be upwards of 1000 dollars and sometimes the pen is extremely expensive aswell.
For me it is the opposite as a digital painter as it is always coloring and value inclusing edge.... Including zooming out helps more than harms in that due to it causes a more painter look
the files being "compressed" does not mean that they are less sharp/crisp (or rather, you will not notice a difference by looking at it in original resolution). It just means that the program deletes a lot of data like layers, opacity (invisible sections are just white in jpeg while they stay invisible with png for example) or color information (jpeg colors still "look" the same but are in fact slightly changed from your original and every further edit on a jpeg will change them more). So if you want to print a picture or put it on the web png (web) or tiff (print) would be recommended.
Zoom in till you see individual pixels on a jpeg and then zoom in on a png. On the Jpeg you will some compression artifacts, on the png file the pixels are going to be PERFECTLY clear. Also keep in mind that Jpeg has several levels of compression. At its maximum, it will even eat away colors, at its lowest you will have zoom in a lot till you see any meaningful difference.
not just brushes, but they will tend to ask about what programs artists used as well, thinking that if they use photoshop, or other professional expensive programs, they will definitely get the same results. some just never learn x)
After using photoshop for YEARS, I switched to Procreate after demoing an iPad and Apple Pencil a couple years back. It’s like $10, has all the same important features photoshop does (and they add more all the time). I’ve also found that the brushes and other tools are much more customizable and that I have more control over my brush strokes than I ever did in PS. The only downside is that I like to work on a larger canvas, and the extra memory means I have fewer layers.
"Not using a tablet" Laughs in Samsung and trashy phone pens, and it's actually way easier just to use my finger, because the pen makes noises that makes my depression powerful as he----
We shall cry in no pressure sensitivity, or I’ll just cry. I use pressure a ton in my art so when I’m doing it on my tablet and can’t get pressure sensitivity, I just weep knowing it don’t look like my art to a certain extent 😭
well, it’s in the same sentence cause that phone is four years old and barely working. i got it for my birthday but now i’m ”too” old so i have to buy a phone myself and well. poor student life.
At least prices are better than they used to be. I saw one on amazon for like $45 and one with that kind of size and capability would have been over $1k when I was in high school.
A monochrome "doodle pad" costs as low as $5USD and a "proper drawing tablet" like Acepen's 6x4" tablet is only $38USD. How poor are you? Everyone is poor in front of the mighty Cintiq and iPad, no doubt, but you don't have to have those to start drawing digitally. For artists that earns a living with their drawings, that's another story.
@@DarrenC_1024 doodle pad and boogie board aren't tablets. They're basically a digital white board, they don't connect to a computer and don't save the images you draw.
@@errantnightao3 still, they are a surface you can practice to draw on, and no need to worry about wasting papers. If, by digital arts you mean "have to be able to upload to internet to show", then okay, doodle pads aren't digital arts tool.
@@DarrenC_1024 yeah I mean that's the point of having a tablet though, it has nothing to do with saving paper. You can do all your art on your computer with painting and everything.
14:23 GOD I get so annoyed when people place too much stock in brushes. The problem with "What brush do you use?" is that it shows lack of understanding of not only how to use the tools, but how the brushes work. I try to explain people how I built my brushes when I get asked that, and try to get them thinking of the question more as "What techniques did you use?" rather than "Can I have your brush settings?" If they understand "I shaded this just by using lower density hard-edged brushes" then they can recreate that brush themselves or experiment with a few trials in a way that works for their methods.
I used to be that, till i realise, it’s not the brush, it’s the pressure sensitivity! What i was trying to recreate is that soft and hard look that people get that makes the artwork look sketchy!! (I still love collecting brushes for no reason, but now i am more focused on getting my pressure sensitivity correct)

on the whole topic of not using a tablet and instead using a mobile device: 1. I think there's a difference between digital on mobile and digital on a computer. however, really the only _big_ difference is how comfortable you are with using a finger/stylus/whatever to draw with, on a screen. 2. both are valid 3. you can make the same quality art on either device, depending on how comfortable you are with the medium. (ps. i've done both, and found it most comfortable for me to draw on a mobile tablet.)
Yeah agreed. But on the other hand using mobile phone to draw commission (formal one) seems a little bit unprofessional. I'm currently using my phone to draw and i'm too comfortable drawing with it, I'm afraid if i use a drawing tablet i'll get frustrated with eyes-hand coordination thing. So instead I'm saving money to buy drawing tablet with screen.
@@dewantoroo i think it just depends on the person. I'm fine with drawing tablets, i got comfortable with them pretty quickly. It's just that i find mobile easier for me. I've done art trades and stuff before, and nobody seemed to really care. I don't know, you can only pack so much into a mobile app, but limitation is good for an artist.
I personally love drawing with an Apple Pencil, i find it’s just as good as a drawing tablet (within its limits of course), its entirely skill and style based over how your art turns out. And honestly, i find procreate (which is what i use) to be just as professional to use as any other program like photoshop etc, and its only ten pounds.
to be fair, 99% of professionals use drawing tablets. The ones using phones are hobbyists. Which is ok if that's what you want to be. Certain Apple iPads get a pass though.
Still better than fingers and phone. I personally don’t use phone, just a standard second-hand iPad and fingers on IbispaintX but people use the phone and fingers.
LOL that’s much better than a drawing Tablet cause you are drawing on the screen. Just upgraded from a Wacom tablet to an IPad. A cintiq will be better though I guess
HA! Krita can zoom in as far as NINE THOUSAAAAAAND Percent! Ahahaha... I need help. Really helpful information, all that was said, especially about not using the full range of features on digital software, and overzooming. Sometimes, less is indeed more
pai pai lol when I couldn’t afford CSP, I tried Krita and hated it because I found it too complicated. There are some really pretty works made with it though...
@@wafa6377 It's pretty complicated at first, but it offers a really good emulation of traditional media. Prior to krita, I used photoshop, and corel, and of the three, I can say krita is my favorite, it's worth it to get to know it
@@Kai-zz3no no the fact is my mouse art looks better then ones ive seen with pen tablets and my favorite deviant artists use a mouse and they look so good
@@Kai-zz3no All tools take time to learn. I don't understand what's so bad about not using a tablet? It usually depends on a person's preference and/or budget. I switch from mouse to tablet every time. But in the case of professional stand point/preference/needs, eventually you will have to/go for a tablet if your skill/art is calling for it. It's just easier because the tablet's versitality is unmatched.
I used to hate using a drawing tablet because I was more used to a mouse, but once I had practiced a lot and got good at drawing with a tablet, I could make better art even though I had actually less tablet practice than mouse practice.
TLDR: A digital tablet is just a tool, just like your brushes example, a tablet will not make you better at art just because you have one. Nine out of the ten tips I agree with. But you don't need a digital tablet, I have several ranging from a random cheapo tablet, up to Wacom Intuos pro medium. They are only useful when you need Z depth. Any type of xy translation is just easier with a mouse. Some examples of tasks that I have done that I prefer a mouse over a tablet: vector art, photo correction, photo blending, selection, masking, 3D modelling, posing, graph editor, texture editing, rigging. Z depth heavy tasks like drawing can be helped by a tablet, but even if you are set on only drawing, a low flow/opacity brush and some practice could be almost the same as sketching. Vector-based workflow can work for line work. Or even scanning traditional art and, colouring it in could work. This person is a very skilled artist, but these tips apply mostly to people who follow their workflow. Other ways of working can be just as effective to create art. A fun example, if you look for a blender sculpting tutorial, almost all of them will say "I will be using a tablet but you don't need one to follow along" I know this is a year old video, and this block of text is past its prime. But if you can read this, you can get started in digital art right now. You don't have to spend money.
15:41 I love these tips, and they're super helpful, but also.. Is that Persephone from Lore Olympus because that's friggin awesome- I thought to myself oh who hurt my baby, then I was like oh yeah, a p o l l o

I know this is an old video, but I think it's important to note that .png's are in RGB color whereas .psd, .jpeg, and .pdf keep the CMYK colors if you have your document set to that color mode. Even if your document is in CMYK, saving it as a .png will still convert it to RGB. Just something to remember if you're making stickers or prints of your art.
"Not using a drawing tablet" Me: *uses a phone "Uses airbrush" Me: ... "Dont save files with JPEG" Me: *looks at files Wait- "Zooming in too much" Me: 😓
Ikr? It actually looks bad if you put in too many tiny details because they get distracting rather than look clever. I had people tell me that it was annoying to look at my artwork in such cases because the details are too small to see properly but too big to not notice at all ^^"
@@crackle295 Well it doesn't matter of I accept it as long as you are satisfied with your work :) But I'd say that adding too many little details in the eyes can look over polluted and not as nice, but if you want to add details, make them wider, for example the "shine", instead of a small dot, make it bigger and better to see. But then again, you need to find the balance between details and pleasing appearance for the viewer to look at although some artist heavily rely on details and some keep it extremely simple. I tend to do a mixture between them. But the rest of the body is also important, if you are less experienced or just draw simpler, it can be distracting for the eyes to look really detailed while the body remains simple. I guess that's also important to keep in mind ^^ But do what's best for you! It's your artwork after all~
For Mistake 9: zooming in too much, most artist actually recommend to keep your artwork in a small window above your work to always see it at a distance :) Also I agree on your point on brushes but I gotta say that the sketch brush is an exception for me, depending on the brush my artworks vary a lot. I used to have the most amazing sketch brush on my old laptop which broke down and my next brush wasn't as good since I didn't find the old one. It makes a major difference so getting a lot of brushes to test out is a good thing in my opinion ^^
@@Nyctophiliace How about just using the navigator in Photoshop. Window>Navigator. It updates after every stroke/action you do, and there is a built-in zoom function where you can click or slide (so you don't have to use the zoom on the bottom bar). It shows you how much of your full canvas you are zoomed into as a red rectangle, and yes, you use this to navigate your image So much easier on the RAM too :)
"Don't zoom in more that 100%" *Laughs in "i can't zoom in enough"* Also I work on phone soooo... That might affect it... Also I'm guilty of #08... I've started to try and use the other brushes more, but I don't often.
When your parents don’t approve of digital art and won’t get you a drawing tablet. Me: Well time for me to try not to chuck my mouse out of my window, whilst using a keyboard and mouse to draw with.
This is an old video now, but it's always important to remember that these "mistakes" are simply common mistakes made when people first start drawing digital. It doesn't mean they are completely banned. If your art makes any of these mistakes work, it isn't a mistake.
I definitely wanna get a display tablet. I've used a cheap, laggy and unresponsive at times regular drawing tablet. I'm making more money these days, and live in the Philippines now instead of America, where I'm from (I'm from infamous Miami, FL). Making money beyond just a 9-5 wage slave or even worse, a 9-5 wage slave college/university graduate that was duped in by infamous Goldman Sachs and others, with lots of debt to work off. California Exodusssss. LULLLLLLLLLLLLLZ. The left and right really suck. Around half of America doesn't vote.

I really love your channel and have been subbed for like 2 years I think, and found this video very helpful. Thank you!!!! ❤️ Also, 15:40 Is that Persephone from Lore Olympus??? ;)
I can't really figure out if she is talking about the method on the left or on the right. Personally i use the left method, but in this example the right side looks better in my opinion.
Oh god I am so guilty of Number 9 lmao like I even know nobody will notice the millionth tiny detail I'm adding but my brain tells me I will absolutely die if I don't zoom in even further
1: It's a matter of preference. I'm a tad ambidextrous, but I mainly write/draw with my left, and use the mouse for everything on the right. Besides, I don't have a few hundred dollars lying around. 2: This one's more of a continuation from the previous one, but yeah, sure. 3: That's life advice. Also, the use of blending could work wonders if used tastefully. 4: I think this is the part where I'm guilty of doing this. 5: Okay, I'm also guilty of using gradients, but NOT as shading, but as backgrounds, with some exceptions which are intentional. 6: I don't really used the smudge tool as much. Mainly because it could fuck up colors, even if they're greyscaled. 7: Mained it ever since I discovered PNG files at the age of 12. Though Blender tends to save files far larger than it should be, which is annoying. 8: Trust me, I used my tools, judiciously. I mean, you could make animated GIFS on Photoshop. 9: You got me there, but pixel art is a thing, so I have to zoom in 1200%. My big (but small sized) PC monitor isn't pixel clear, alright? 10: I was never expecting miracle brushes like that rainbow paint from Tux Paint (remember that?), but I remember having a shit ton of custom brushes, until I switched over to CS6. I only used a few of my own customized brushes, along with a variety of my own patterns at my disposal.
I love the tip about brushes! I mess around with new brushes a lot, but often I make my best art with one or two basic brushes that are just defaults in sketchbook pro :P
So glad you appreciate that part ♥️ I was afraid if it would be a bit too controversial because people depend on brushes in many degrees. So I'm happy to have at least one other person agree ^^
That’s a stretch lmao. The first one yeah not everyone can afford a tablet ,it’s pretty budget based ngl but you don’t NEED to be rich for one. The rest of the tips aren’t even budget related,so
Jay C but I have none of this stuff and it’s over 1k and I don’t have that much at all and it’s saying that eveything I have is a “mistake” because I don’t have enough money to be “good”
I want to talk about the first topic. So, you know not everyone can afford one drawing tablet and stuff, but you need to remember that you can become a digital artist without it. There are tons of programs and tools and features for digital art and relying that much on a tablet, I believe, is thinking really small. Thinking inside the box. There are so many styles you could focus on and become such a great artist. I understand that tablets makes our lives so much easier in certain points, but it's kinda discouraging when you make it sound that you can't be a digital artist without it. Also I think the first topic comes across that 8° one. :9
Currently, I use a free drawing website for my art. It doesn't have many features, but I've gotten used to it. Are there any free apps for computer that also have good tools?
Her: You NEED a tablet to make digital art. Me: Using my finger and my phone. "Yeah, I certainly do, mate." I believe my art is just fine and can be made just as well as a user with a drawing tablet. Sure, it's harder in certain circumstances, but nobody NEEDS an art tablet to make digital art, good digital art nonetheless.
