Professional Artists Redraw Their Old Art 

In comparison to the other guys? Yes but I think Julia might have drawn it in at a later point in her life in, on top of that she specifically chose this one, that doesn't necessarily mean it's her oldest. That's in defence of the other three who really started from their darker beginnings.

@@DreamerFromTheDepths - It's pretty similar to Nathan's drawing.

@@lettuceprime4922 I guess Nathan's the one who made the most improvements. (This next edit is a little bit long, but I think I could explain what I mean better with this.) (It's not really about how many years passed, it's more about how much they improved since they were drawn, outside of Julia we have faint implications of when they were drawn, Nathan drew his six years ago, Jacob drew his before that, and Karina drew hers when she was a teenager, out of them all I think Karina and Jacob improved the most, out of them all Julia improved the least, because as said before, it was a style change, not an improvement, Julia herself mentions that she liked the drawing she picked and just wanted to draw it again, it's not necessarily breaking the rules, but it does make her look better than everyone else.)

@@DreamerFromTheDepths im like, really late to this but I'm watching this video again & going through the comments soo yea But yea, Julia definitely has the least stylistic change in hers & it does make her look better. But what I think has happened is that her techniques have changed, not much the style. Which is also a valid improvement just not as visual. My style hasn't really changed during the past year, but I've evolved in other ways. Now i actually have an idea how to do digital art :")

So, am I the only one who prefers Julia's original? The remake was neat, but there were a lot of errors in anatomy, especially considering how much effort went into it.

Ikr! I was like "awwwww Karina you're so cute"

......guess Julia doesn't like giving fanart for her younger self 😂😅

im the same way tho

I kind of assumed everyone thinks like that... I always think "man, younger me would find me so cool" and "I'll be so cool when I'm older"

For me its more of flexing on my younger self HAHA

The only reason I started adding basic anatomy sketches to the start of my drawings was "Hey, the speedpainters on RU-vid do it, so it must be how good art happens"

I was the 69th like

This is a whole ass mood but for me it was doing anatomy sketches and studies and now I still basically do the whole draw the face first and go from there except now I know how bodies work and how to connect things

Still in school- proud to be doing anatomy sketches Using airbrush Noodle arms are common But I’m G A Y so non of that “hetro nonsense”

Funny cuz I only even did chicken scratch sketches

YES. So much yes. I have so many schoolbooks with just random eyes in the margins.

i still do that from time to time........

this is SO true... and sometimes, I still do this

Dont call old me out like that, man

Yes! Extra points if it *is* connected to a face, but said face is much less detailed than the eye, and obviously was drawn on afterwards.

Aww I felt so bad when I realised he still did that! But she complimented his colour choices later anyway, which was nice.

I actually don't think that's the line she was referring to! I think she meant the line that showed the shape of the demon's head within the horn, not the line at the base of the horn

I thought she was referring to the original drawing where one of the horns (the right one) had a base line (it shouldn’t have had it because it was coming out the other side of the head) Or she could be referring to the base line of the horn in the redraw What do I know?

i could feel Julia's judgment through youtube

Dale Brown Please dont feel undermined by my comment. I tend to say stuff very strangely. Sometimes i have to act out a conversation In any case, let’s just let compliment slide

@@felix56p it's at the start of the video when he nathan was drawing, she said that she likes that he removed the line between the horns unlike the original piece but he didn't remove it he added it after

The difference is that Karina is still a weeb

Literally!

I didn't realize she drew with a mouse for the first one! And I've seen this video so many times! Dang, impressive!

Oof, same

@Alex Marrone Wait backgrounds? What are those? I have desperately tried to learn how to draw backgrounds to no success and the only slightly decent background I've made is in my pfp which is a fanart of Wirt from OTGW with the beast in the background. Brush tools are a godsend and so are layers.

All my drawings seem to be set in an empty void, how do background

I would indeed download the beer

Beech I might

_Watch me_

In 2013 I knew that my drawings of humans were disproportionate, but instead of asking for help I made the shoulders bigger and nothing else and thought that I fixed it.

Maybe that's why I'm cringy is it because I was born in 2006?

@@spicyorange476 No, it's because you're 14. You'll be cringe for a while longer. Don't worry, the prognosis is good.

Ledge background?

What is ledge background? Sorry, I haven't hear from that word before (I'm not english)

@@eatmypanart Sorry if I use more detail than you need, I only want to make sure what I say helps! A "ledge" is like a shelf or a cliff, it just means something flat that is above the ground, usually somewhere you could fall off from. A background is what is behind the more important things in the picture (like the people). So, when Karina said she used a ledge as a background when she was young, she was joking about using the simple shape of something flat and up high, instead of a more detailed/better shape

I liked the original better and personally think the redrawing is objectively worse.

If Julia made a tarot deck I'd buy the fuck out of it.

Brian Worden I agree. The orientation and proportions of the new one throw me off. I think the wolf head is a the wrong angle and am not sure where the sword is going. The art otherwise is beautiful though.

@@daveyg34 i agree but i imagine she probably spent a lot more time on the original

I still like the new one better. Both are good, it's just that the new one is kinda more mature.

Thank you :)

This totally is your middle school phase, and that's ok! No one gets to skip it, no matter how long after middle school you start. I use and airbrush in real life and still have an intense digital airbrush phase - it's just so fun and different! It's been 7 months since you commented so if you read this, let me/everyone know how your art is going!

@@sotnos1125 Also thank you :) Both for reminding me of this comment I made and reassuring me that it's perfectly okay to have this sort of phase. It doesn't really matter what brushes you use or what phase you are in as long as you have fun creating. :) I'm still very deep into that 'eye phase' and I don't think I'll ever stop XD

I've been doing digital art for several years now, and I still use the airbrush for my shading. It may just be because I use a simple program. *shrugs* I also just recently (like within the last year recently) learned about locking the opacity of a layer . . . It has changed my shading process!

@@wyvern713 What program do you use? I am still slowly learning all the things you can do with digital art or art apps lolo. There's just so much to learn!

I don’t think any of us truly leave the air brush phase I’ve been doing digital art for 3 years and I def don’t use it often but when I want to add things like bounce lighting or make it softer, I use the air brush with a clipping layer. So I guess I use it for more lighting than shading now lol

Jacen355 ikr, she’s inspired me to be nice to my past self and continue doing my art

Very true

Not gonna lie, Julia's new drawings reminded me a lot of Loghain haha

I was thinking that the whole time

I dont know why but it feels for me like a card indie videogame, and that character is like a hunter/druid that you find in the woods

Don’t worry I spent ages 14-18 drawing people with no ears or eyebrows cause I either forgot or just couldn’t figure out how.

@@nohintshere Gah, same.

Mary Desrosiers Hi! I don’t know what your art style is but I just wanna let you know that soft shading is ok sometimes! Using a mixture of hard and soft edges is your friend, Here’s what I mean : www.deviantart.com/vetyr/art/More-edge-tips-668385814 And this one... www.deviantart.com/vetyr/art/Edges-624600004 also be careful when using any random tutorial of google, some of them are really bad...

@@parhelichor whether or not the shadow's edge is blurry depends on what kind of shadow it is. Is it a: A) cast shadow, think the shadow on the ground behind a tree. These are sharp. B) form shadow, a much less intense shadow wrapping around the form, say from the middle of the tree to the edge of the tree. That one's going to be blurry. A lot of cell shaded art only has cast shadow like shading. Only having form shadows never really works though, it's generally too muddy. I personally use both, but it really depends on your style.

Mary Desrosiers if you want an artist that explains shadows and forms well just watch sinixdesign. He explains how hard edges, lost(soft) edges, detail in shadow, colour in shadow work. Basically if there is something you don’t know about how forms, folds, shadows, reflections, light and detail work (in correspendence to eachother as well) then he has a video. And though his colouring technique is painting for most of the time, his techniques will probably apply to whatever style you have since they are both simplifications and in-depth studies of the basics. What i’m trying to say is that he is just a good teacher when it comes to art (and sometimes being a good person :D). He even teaches at pretty good schools and conventions. Pls do yourself and him a favor and check him out, you might like it!

@@mellow_mallow same! I hate hate hate sketching and THEN doing lineart on another layer, maybe i just suck at it but it feels too stiff and "clean", so i just clean up the sketch...

@@mellow_mallow Probably not. Art is SUPER hard without sketching. My old art I did not sketch and it's horrible (not saying your art is horrible!)

@@xxkittyxx2599 yeah, but for me, it's art from 2 months ago that i hate. i was looking through my old sketchbook since i recently got a new one, and i don't know why people said my art was good. i didn't even draw hands! just circles at the end! 😂

Alice Lima *hydrated

@@belledelphine9692 Thank you, English is not my first language, so I haven't noticed the typo 😅

Alice Lima We love a queen that cares about health 👏👏

Yeah I also started out with it lol, if you want a painting style that isn’t cell shading then look art rendering tutorials, airbrushes aren’t really in real life

To be fair, I'm pretty sure that about 80% of it usually looking bad comes from, ya know, it being an easy thing beginners grab when they want some shading and thus generally being used by people that already don't really have a lot of experience. But then you kinda have to become good to make suboptimal tools work and the best way to do that is use tools that are more suited to a job since trying to do good things while your tools are actively fighting you is really frustrating and makes even just getting better itself so much harder. (Definitely the case with watercolours, if you want to start, use decent paper and decent paints. Maybe ask a friend if you can borrow some but the watercolours we give kids really aren't suited for actually painting with them.)

@@teaartist6455 agreed

No need to explain why you used the airbrush tool, we’ve all used it at some point. It’s been around 4 years since I’ve started digital art and I still use the airbrush tool for some lighting effects. It’s a good tool when used correctly and makes very nice and easy gradients.
