How NOT to suck at Lineart | DrawlikeaSir 

My video on how to ink correctly (For beginners) ▶▶ ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-HVqSY_sHuyI.html

Here's the biggest issue that makes your lineart look worse than your sketches: Your lineart is not supposed to be you tracing your sketch. If you do that, you lose dynamicism, lost line weighting, and also carry over the imperfections of the sketch that are masked by the 'accepted messiness' of a sketch.

Quality: Like a sir. Editing: Like a sir. Humour: Like a sir. Drawings: Like a sir. Culture video accidentally played: Oh sir. Yep. This deserves a like and a sub!!!

This is why ive adapted a “sketchy” look to my finished art. Idk I just like the kinda messy look

BONUS TIP I'VE PICKED UP FOR DIGITAL ARTISTS! After u've done your sketch and wanna do the lineart use 2 layers (for convenience sake) on one layeru wanna start doing some of the lineart (let's say back hair lineart) using the tips in the video but then if u notice that the lines still, aren't as dinamic as they used to be in the sketch, and even tho they're clean and a bit sketchy like the video said the shape suddenly doesn't feel as pointy or whatever...USE THE LIQUIFY TOOL AND MOVE THE LINEART SLIGHTLY UNTIL IT MATCHES THE SKETCH LINES :D And then u will do the next part of the lineart (the bangs let's say) on the second layer, liquify it a bit until it looks good and then merge them! And so on

I do believe that character design would be a more interesting thing, especially for people like me that don't really have the possibility or just don't want to ink drawings since I barely manage to make them look fine, and I do believe more people might be interested into character design than how to use inking supply

I'm pretty good at drawing line art, but sometimes I'll just mess up on the lines. It's really frustrating when that happens, so this video is really helpful to me. Thanks!

5:30 It was at this moment, he knew *_He fucked up._*

„I‘ll show it to you…“ … „Wrong video.“ Bro, I‘m dead… 😂💀

I discovered you a few days ago and you are already the best one , your way of teaching is so fun and easy to understand thank you so much brother 👍🏽

Gosh, the quality of your videos seems to get better and better! Not to mention your art, you are so good at what you do!

5:24 sobbing right now i did not expect that

i really appreciate these videos having subtitles, sometimes stuff is too loud around me or i dont want to be too loud and subtitles are a must.

Nobody gonna talk about 5:35.

So basically, training yourself to draw based on the sketch as a guide instead of training your brain to just copy the sketch you already made, teaches you to not only draw quicker and more dynamic but it improves the quality of your final piece due to you not aiming for "perfect replication" and losing the spunk

I'm glad to know that the habit I picked up of thinning out the lines is an actual tip! I'm not the best artist but I've been complemented on how clean my line art was before so my line art is something I like to take pride in!

You have got to be a rare instance of a drawing tutorial youtuber that is genuinely equal parts fun to watch, and also incredibly useful, concise, and clear on your advice. I feel like I often find people who are primarily entertainers and have very vague or non-specific advice, or on the other hand I find very informative but dry tutorials. Both of which I find good for different reasons You are a wonderful balance of the two though. And I find your lessons very easy to watch and full of great advice! You've earned my subscription! I look forward to more from you :)

I’ve been drawing since I was too young to remember. I’ve been in many competitions and state fairs and won many. Needless to say, I’ve saved almost all these videos to a playlist because they are just THAT good! If I ever have anyone ask me a question about drawing, I’ll give them advice and shoot them here to this channel! Keep up the great work!

Your videos are perfect: not too long, funny, understandable, followable. Some other channels just show the artist making a bunch of shapes and guidelines really fast, erasing key areas, taling about whatever, and then boom, it's amazing.

I've been watching a lot of your videos and I gotta say I love how short and simple, yet helpful the tips are And your editing and jokes weaved into it all keeps me engaged a lot

This video just showed up in my suggestions and all your videos are exactly what I've been looking for for the last month. It's crazy. Thank you for existing.

Self promotion isn't shameless! What you do is nothing short of amazing, and people need to see it. Don't sell yourself short. Also, I'd rather the inking video instead of character design! Keep doing what you do!! 💙

Holy shit i love this channel All the tips are so helpful and are actual tips instead of just "practice more" you actually tell us how to practice

I love this dude because he's not a condescending prick like the hosts of most art channels. Dude is classy.

Ich war verwundert, als ich plötzlich deinen englischen Account gefunden habe, aber die view Zahlen sprechen für dich. Du hast mir bei meiner Zeichenjourney sehr geholfen und ich bin froh, dass du jetzt auch Leuten auf der ganzen Welt hilfst :)

you're definitely the most helpful art channel I've seen. in 20m of me watching some videos i was able to make some acceptable sketches that I'm pretty happy with! the way you teach drawing is simple and easy to understand but isn't just plain instructions on how to make a set drawing. thanks for being amazing👍

*It's scary how this tutorial came the moment I needed it*

Thank you! I just finished lineart and the sketch turned out to look way better. My lines were wobbly, and the part where you mentioned "Draw your lineart the same way you would draw your sketch" was extremely helpful to me, it was the tip I was looking for.

Just discovered the channel and it's truly a gem ! I actually begin to try more manga style after years of more painterly digital art ! And this "wrong video" killed me. Keep it up !

due to my adhd i literally cant watch more than 40 seconds of a vid before going to a new one or skipping to the point that i need. but you actually managed to keep me hooked for 99% of the time and i was actually so into this video that i felt surprised when you said this was the end. I MEAN CMON I WAS WAITING FOR MORE

Just recently subscribed to your channel and I'm definitely not regretting it. I'm learning something new every single video. Thanks mate👌

I laughed my heart out at "Wrong video"🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Dang we got Marc for digital drawing tutorials and Marcel for pen drawing tutorials!!!

Thanks for another amazing tutorial. Been meaning to get a erase pen, and also liner pen. ✏️ 🖊 ❤

Amazing as always! This is super helpful since linearting is my difficulty. 😑Thank you as usual for the incredible tutorial! I'd love to see the inking process in detail! I watch you use the pen nib all the time and I'm highly motivated to start learning to use that too! Designing an OC is cool too. Either video, I know will be great as usual! ❤

an absolutely wonderful video. I love how this isn’t even a video really specifically targeted to beginners, just to any skill level artist who’s unsure how to ink. very helpful!

It randomly appeared in recommended videos and… Well, it actually helped, unlike videos of some other artists I'm following for longer time.

I have always had trouble outlining my drawings. I'd start off with the sketch and I'd think it looks good... then I outline it.. This video was really helpful

For the art style in my comic I actually draw over with the pen the same way I did with the pencil, like for example if I shade in a particular part I will ink it the same way. But overall really helpful video keep up the great work.

That eraser pen is amazing. Definitely need to add that to my bag.

This is the first time I've seen one of your videos, and it was very helpful! As someone who just draws for fun, I've never had a proper class on drawing or a teacher to tell me what I'm doing wrong, so I never figured out why my linework looks so flat. Now, I'm excited try to follow your advice and see how far it takes me. Thanks!! If you ever make a video going a bit more in depth on how to manage line thickness I'll be eternally grateful, since it's something that I find difficult to purposefully do. PS: The macro shots of your art supplies look really good!

Thank you for this video! One of the things that's helped me is keeping my pens in a row from thinness to thickness. Nice and organized! XD

Thank you so much! This has honestly been a struggling point of mine for a while now. I have the teachings, time to practice.

Your videos made me improve my drawing more better. Thanks DLAS!

Im not gonna lie you are the most artist tutorialer i enjoy watching his videos ever

German dude detected

An 8 minute video feels like a 20 minute drawing lessons from the best drawing artist teacher in RU-vid

I'm a new member of this drawing like a sir community and I already Know how to draw, OR SO I Thought but after watching about three videos by Marcel I realize I still have turns of room for improvement Thanks man and can't wait for more of your tutorials

yeah details are very important cause it can help brind out the form a LOT

I personally would love to know more about character design. Honestly this was convenient since I was just thinking I needed to learn how to make my characters look solid and unique rather than clunky and out of order

Traditional artwork reminds you of how amazing and natural it looks, and its function is vs, using Didital lines! No comparison and it' so organic with flows of detail! Beautiful work!

Dude! That's the first video I saw from this channel and now I want to watch all the videos you have! I really like your style and your skill is amazing

The thumbnail is the most relatable thing i have ever seen

At first, I wanted an english version of your Color Theory, since I've been studying watercolor recently. But, between the two choices on the video, it's more of a 50/50. But I'd give it to character designing. I do want a video about it.

this randomly poppedd up on my feed. My good sir, how do you only have 300k subs? the quality of editing and info is just too gud, my best wishes to you traveler

The inking crash course sounds really appealing

A video on character design would really help. I’m currently drawing a manga for a lesson I’m doing in my schools japan club, and I’m trying to do 3 different 1 shot manga stories; 1. A comedy about an over worked teacher with a frequent spree of bad luck 2. A horror 1 shot based on the works of junji ito, about a small town that’s becoming infested with a hive of wasps that crawl into your skin and manipulate you into eating human flesh 3. A shonen style action/ fighting manga that’s based on medieval Europe and a detective that creates mechanical weapons and investigations to solve mysteries. A video on character design would greatly help me create more impressive and interesting works for this manga drawing lesson and also give me a wider amount of information to work off of for the content of the lesson

My biggest takeaway is don't be scared when inking and do my strokes quick and accurate like I did in my sketch 😅 And never be shy to add some more detail

bro the way you edit your video is top tier. love it

I really love your videos,I got a sketchbook for Christmas and I watch a lot of tutorials including yours I appreciate you

Personally I would like to see a video on character design. Also I love your videos, I have learned so much and I feel it is making me a better artist.

Just found your channel, i've been an aspiring artist for years now, and never bothered to watch tutorial videos or educational videos about it because i believed it was "cheating" ( + they were all incredibly boring ) but i didn't click away from this one, you get straight to the point, explain briefly why it works, and show a comparison. Everything that should be in a video like this. Really good job, i'll be sure to watch more of your videos in the upcoming future !

I would love to see a character vid instead of the inking tutorial because I just love the development of characters. I found your channel very recently and love it, keep up the great work.

I swear i can listen to his voice the entire week. Its so calm! And not even his voice he explains soo much. I love those videosssss!

I really want to learn character design and this video was very useful for me so thanks and keep it up.👍

I always wanted to draw in the Berserk art style. However, I ended up drawing in the Disgaea art style as a means of skipping the 50+ years it would take to get that good. I did this so I could express myself to others effectively before the fandom I draw for dies.

I would love to see more line art! Ty for the amazing videos

The sketch is already amazing

That was very helpful

People talking about the video: Me: AYO WHAT WAS THAT SOUND 5:31💀😂😭

A video on inking techniques would be fantastic. But I love watching your videos regardless and will be catching the next one either way. I love your work, and hope you are having a fabulous day! ❤

You are helping alot I never went to art school so I've some basic problems in proportions and perspectives, i never knew about vanishing points , my line art weren't good enough.... thanks to you I'm improving on my basics and no more need grids to correct my proportions, thank you so much ..... ❤️

learning the difference between how to draw a line and how to use a line and why that distinction is important has helped me a lot, building up muscle memory so my hand and arm knows how to make the mark so i can focus more on what the mark represents and what it's trying to define. it's something i had to grind at for awhile, but eventually you just start building that mental visual library and reflex so you know how to lay things out. learning to relax and just let your body do what the mind sees is kinda difficult at first but one can pick it up faster than you think with dedicated effort.

MY MAN DREW A PERFECT CIRCLE HOW DOES THIS NOT HAVE MORE VIEWS

Your tutorials are so entertaining to watch and learn 😂...literally best tutorial I watched on YT where I don't get bored

Thanks Marcel! :D you describe everything so clearly and I leave with no confusion.i always have so many questions when I watch other people explain these stuff,ngl they are also kinda boring but its the complete opposite when i watch your tutorials :D.honestly I wouldn't have improved this fast if I didn't discover your channel!

bro said wrong video 😂

Im aspiring to become a concept artist problem is i suck at drawing... people and my lineart always looks like a kindr gardener drawing reguardless of the sketch ( I DIDNT KNOW WHY UNTIL NOW THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!!!!)

Your videos are SO helpful, thank you 👊

Clicked on this video to help me with line art. Low and behold all your other videos touch on topics I was interested in getting better at as well. Will be binging for the next couple hours lol.

3:14 dont fret? DONT FRET I DONT EVER WANNA SEE AND I NEVER WANNA MISS YOU AGAIN

My issue (digitally) is line weight and line variation I like drawing with a somewhat thicker min-size, I dont enjoy the 1-pixel minimm size so I set it a bit higher in CSP Due to this, I also don't like drawing with a LARGE brush size, so I set it smaller around 25px But these two methods CANCEL eachother out, I would be drawing with a smaller size brush but a lower minimum size So while there IS some variation, it's barely noticeable when you zoom out, and all my lines look the same width I try to go in and add some artificial variation in there, but as you said; it gets tedious and I just want to get the whole thing over with I keep fiddling with the default brushes, ones that start small and suddenly in the middle become thick if you apply higher than normal pressure, but again; the 1px minmimum size throws me off completely It would be easier if I was still d oing manga-style arts with just pure thin lines, but that got bothersome real fast when I discored how easier it is if the lines are thicker, less mistakes that way... I know it's all practice, seeing which works and what doesn't, and adjust your work accordingly, like drawing on a larger brush for the outlines and stick to the 25px or smaller size for minor details, but that also drops out of my mind during the moment when being frustrated that it's already taking me too long thanks to my sketching taking 80% of my time

I'm so glad this exists. I can't tell you how many times in the past few weeks I've been doing a great sketch, doing the linework which makes it look even better, then toggling the sketch layer off and the whole thing looks like a poorly xeroxed coloring book page.

Thank you @ Draw like a sir because you helped me to draw a body or human!

Would it be a good idea to do the complete line art (including hatching lines, etc) before coloring, or should i use darker coloring for the "Shading line art"?

4:19 Ohh Wow Pen Pressure Sensitivity on Paper! 😅😂

This is the best learning art channel I have in my disposition Thanks for all of your videos

funny thing about the first tip: I've basically reached it myself kinda by accident. I hated doing lineart, but sometimes I'd clean up the sketch a bit while procrastinating and noticed "hey, this actually looks kinda alright" and kept doing it

6:04 SAICHI SUGIMOTO?!

Is it possible to make a video about colouring 😁also epic video as always

I have been looking for a video on line art and inking, and this is going to help so much! thx!

I've struggled with this, thank you so much

0:17 LOL that CD part had me choking 😂😂😂😂😂

I suck at drawing but these videos are so helpful! And funny! 5:24

You know what i cant believe that this is your voice. I mean its so interesting it feels almost to good to be true it remindes me of how voice actors for cartoons have a bunch of different voices they can do. Idk man point is you have an amazing voice (u_u)

Any tutorial about using ink nib is greatly needed. Most vids just seem to be " make sure nib is clean and put it in the ink" that it not how much pressure you use or how to actual draw with it.

6:13 Attack Titan

1:48 Woah

Truly helpful. I had to descover two if these reasons through intuition and the others through many videos.

I just recently found you and you are the best drawing tutorial channel EVER ! And you are a lot entertaining and funny love you keep it up !
