Sam always talks like his parents are sleeping in the next room. Which honestly makes me feel like I'm at a sleepover with my bestie just chilling and drawing. 😂

The cylinder method is actually really useful for perspective if keeping in mind the shape of a head. They teach you this in art school

they teach the cylinder method in art school and it is actually very helpful!

We've got 13 parts of tiktok art tips, but will we ever get to see sam rate pinterest art tips?? I need to know if they're trustworthy!

"whats your career?" "im a professional drawer" "oh cool im a professional cupboard" in all seriousness being a piece of furniture is a very tough career indeed. also sam this has to be one of your best series ngl ♡♡

I was noticing that as I practiced drawing faces (especially if not using a reference) they all ended up looking neutral in mood and each pretty similar to every other. So, I've started going through the TikTok Art tips video series, pausing at a random moment, and using Sam's face as a reference. I get delight, horror, frustration, revulsion, contemplation, surprise... a whole range of expressions!

14:30 I do agree on this one though! Maybe not drawing a full cylinder, but if you've got basic knowledge of head/face drawing, loosely starting with a half-cylinder can actually be really good. It gives the brain a much quicker idea of the perspective you're going for when it comes to drawing portraits/faces. And like I said, as a beginner I can imagine using cylinders might not be better and the result might turn out weird if they stick too close to the cylinder shape itself. But with knowledge already, it's a good little trick/addition to quickly lay down a face in perspective. Just from my own experience though, might not be for everyone ofc.

These art tips were so not bad that Sam didn't have to bring the skull of his enemy

I used to name all of my layers and I've reduced the time it takes me to finish a piece significantly when I stopped. It also made me take things less seriously and allow me to retain a "flow" state while drawing a lot better so... if you're a person who tends to be very orderly (or you have OCD) - do NOT name your layers. This may be a good tip for people who tend to be too messy, though. It really depends on the person.

Sam is changing so much I'm worried about Kara Lmao

the cylinder thing is actually useful for artists that keep trying to use the box head method, wish you explained why you don't like things fully and what to do instead instead of just bashing them and moving on

The thing about naming layers. Sometimes when I do digital art I'll give my layers people names like Richard or Steve because I find it funny 😭

I'm one of the artist who got their tips reviewed, and ngl it kinda hurts to see it dunked on when I learn that tip from an industry professional art tutor 😔 Maybe next time message artists if they want their stuff to be reviewed on such a big youtube channel? Not everyone appreciates the sudden shock of seeing their stuff exposed in front of a big audience without a prior warning 😔

oh look it's me

3:20 "I love sketchbooks" "I love refrigerators" Same energy

Sam admitting that he doesn't name his layers: Me, just starting digital art: wait, you can name layers??

12:33 This is Kooleen's tip

4:50 I believe there is also a factor of how you normally draw and are comfortable drawing when it comes to this. Some artists (like myself) find it easier to use multiple layers, and that can keep things neat in its own way. For me, I like having more layers since it makes it easier for me if I end up seeing a mistake or want to change the colors later, and I only need to change one or two layers instead of drawing it over again

It is actually works 13:23 it helped me alot

13:36 Maybe she's just using rubbing alcohol because it dries faster than water

9:49 Sam caught me in 4k 📸📸

13:05 There's a technique with water color paining that u put the paper (thats ment for this) in water and let it soak for about 2 mins and then when u paint the paper stays flat and gets less ruind by the paint and its easier to blend the colors... So it probably works with a canvas and acrilics too

14:47 HAHAHA those comments! I lost it at "I just draw it with no guidelines"

12:15 I finally understood what he was talking about! Lol! Yay

3:42 how dare you I love my sketchbook

Cylinders are actually thaught in art school and can work wonders, your art is great but sometimes you are nonsensical

10:45 Drawers?💀💀💀 I know people who write are writers, but Drawers?

10:42 I- I agree. Thank you for saying this

9:58 I love her!!!!!

Ah, yes. We drawers are furniture that holds clothes for your every need 😌

10:37 I relate to this on a mental level lol Something about calling an artist a "drawer" just feels so weird..

Cylinder is great for perspective but like boxes it works/feels good to some people and doesn’t/feels terrible to others. Each person should use methods suited to them! Some methods are bad for one artist and perfect for another. No one right way.

Pinterest and tumblr are amazing for aesthetics and refrences. Also I've never heard of people using boxes for drawing anything except fingers. I've always been told to use spheres or oval spheres. My mom love art stuff so she's always had input and tips for me.

7:28 I do! I actually meticulously name every single layer with very few exceptions (like when it's just a temporary layer I'm planning on merging with the one below very soon) :)

10:14 Sam: “More so like a process thing?” Nobody: “thats an art tip.”

Sam I love seeing you talk about these tips! Giving proper information is important to those who are learning. Also I am someone who names their layers, though I just give up halfway through on giving them proper names. They usually are named as ‘I don’t like color theory’ or something of that

15:17 HE WENT CROSSEYED💀

I thought the raid sponsor was a joke 💀

3:32 I actually saw your video about sketchbooks, Sam. After i watched it, it made me want to buy a sketchbook to see if it can actually help me improve my art. And it did! :D

6:22 As someone with Misophonia... AHHHHHHHH MY EARSSSSS.

0:17 Marc Brunet: He stole my whole flow, word for word, bar for bar

Im 50/50 on naming layers but doing it helps a lot! Especially for color layers that are for light colors. I really recommend setting up folders and naming layers at the start of each step. Ex when I'm ready for colors, I'll make as many layers as I expect to need based on how many colors I'm using then name them after the color or section. Then I can just go through 1 layer at a time and I never forget what I was doing if I need to step away for a while! Kinda the art equivalent of making an outline for your essay honestly

I have taken many tips from you sam and my art has improved so much also I'm recreating your work to learn even more about your art style. Thanks for being Sam!

4:34 AYOOO FELLOW PIPINO IN THE ART COMMUNITY TAMAD NA REN AKONG MABUHAY ‼‼‼

7:09 Me being an equestrian: yeah you DEFINITELY want to have a reference it looks like you’ve never seen a horse before… *2 seconds later* that was supposed to be **with** the reference..?

Hey sam, your videos have helped me improve my art tremendously. You make a lot of overwhelming information very easy to digest, thank you!

the ''please.. we are not furniture'' got me laughing on the floor 0:12

I find it hilarious when people call me a drawer. Anytime I get a comment from a friend telling me how good a “drawer” I am I’m tempted to just turn my pfp into a drawer and brand myself as everyone’s favorite drawer

14:25 cylinder-kun and box-chan

Ur videos inspire me a lot and I love how calm they are but there’s still fun to them. Keep doing what ur doing! :)

When coloring faces I always separate eyes, nose, lips and hair with only one layer. Its very nice and reduces stress when youre finding that one little line you accidentally put. And it reduces lags with phones like mine

Big artists when people draw differently than they do:

For any acrylic painters anywhere if you end up having to stop mid painting and dint want your paint to dry up, put the pallete in a zip lock bag with a papertowel this will keep the paint wet and usable. (When I triednthis out I did it for a few days and it worked!) However it did dry out faster once I finally used it so keep that in mind

5:13 I feel you 😭

10:25 *spits drink*

16:23 Sam, my life will never be the same...

9:28 he is not being serious, the title of the video is "some NOT so helpful advice i recieved in art school"

sam never fails to make me laugh like a maniac

The first 16 seconds absolutely killed me 😂❤

I don't draw anymore, but when I used to, I named like 90% of my layers. I did sort of realism in digital art, so I had many of them. I also used to make groups of them.

10:30 drawer indeed

The bird plushie is me 24/7

7:28 I usually name the groups like a sketch group, a color/rendering group, and a detail/light/vfx group. Since I need some organization to stay efficient (but I'm kinda lazy) I figured that naming the groups is a good way to achieve that organization, rly recommended

The traditional art tips are really useful! Thank you sm cause I was struggling 😅

Sam always gives so many great tips! I am currently failing art, so I am gonna binge watch these videos😅

✨Difference between Cool aid and Santas farts✨: Koolen: roast without regret, regrets that you would correct your mistakes. it was ✨Juicy✨ Sam: struggling to attack the cons. and do not offend the feelings of an art baby 💮😪 they are both perfect 💗

the thing about boxes is that you're just finding the shapes of a figure/ finding the big planes of a figure, you can also find the angles, make an imaginary envelope basically revising before beginning with details, remember to measure anatomically. I read this in (Figure Drawing Master Class: Lessons in life drawing)

this series will never end

Blending with a white pencil can sometimes dull the colors you’re blending. It works in some cases but you have to be cautious.

anyone else skeptical about 9:01 that kind of progress in "a few weeks" is insane.

Im glad it is shown here, i usually do alot of sketches layer by layer and thought it was quite unusual to do that. glad im not the only one

Sam, you literally make me actually study and pay attention to anatomy, color theory, etc.

is anyone from the tiktok

Damn thanks for reviewing these tips for us art babies!! I'm still trying to get back into art , my parents r not supportive and mock it and it really made me feel bad about art and for liking anime and games and stuff tho I still love them , I just want to be able to love them and draw them all as long as I'm here , well ur videos r really calming and inspiring,I hope to get back to drawing soon

7:30 I don’t name my layers cause ain’t nobody got time for that, but I do name my layer groups

The water on backside of canvas for acrylic paints accually works, I get the Bob Ross feels when I do that :D Some happy clouds over there ;)

3:12 the video starts

3:48 // GIRLIE YOU DID THOSE ON IBISPAINT!? TEACH ME HOWWWW

Yay another samdoesarts video!!❤️

Answering the question: I do in fact name my layers sometimes. Especially the one I name "sketch". For others I sometimes use short one letter names like "s" for shadows, "l" for lights.

8:15 it's "waaaaouuuw" was so sweet, pleasant, like a cat purring. as if your eldest brother suddenly became the youngest. as if the one who roast suddenly became a darling🗿💮✨

As a drawer, I really like your tips, thank you for helping me improve

I GENUINELY THOUGHT HE WAS JOKING ABT THE RAID SHADOW LEGENDS UNTIL HE JUST KEPT GOING 😭😭😭

I do name all my layers, yes 😅😅 Really helps you find one you need after going back to drawing after longer break

This man has the most ASMR inducing voice I’ve ever heard.

Sam needs to launch his own art tips.

something wholesome: my mom loves your channel even though she isn't an artist. she thinks you give amazing art tips and is helpful to my art journey :)) 💙

1:08 my family uses a lot of paper plates (I know, I told them that I don't mind washing more plates but we still get them) and I stole one to use as a pallette if I need it. I also have a disposable cup I reuse for paint water. (We don't usually buy the cups, that was a one time thing from a couple years ago)

You are the best Sam❤ I 've learned so much from you

9:44 how did you know 😳

I've been watching your videos for like 4 hours straight while drawing, I now have 42 layers I normally use at most 20-

4:35 when he asked if she speaks eanglish, she does she speaks tagalog too in that sentence she was speaking taglish wich is some parts of that sentence is filipino/tagalog and some is english 👍🏼

I dont understand why a person like you with such a big following would randomly roast someone without their consent. You even used the screenshot of their tiktok vid as your thumbnail. Please please be mindful of your actions.

Since my friend who uses a thousand layers calls me crazy, I’m gonna put this here: Layer 1 - Sketch Layer 2 - Background Layer 3 - Skin shade and highlights Layer 4 - Hair shade and highlights Merge layer 3 & 4 Layer 3 - Clothes, shade, and highlights Merge layer 4 & 3 Alpha lock layer 1 (sketch) and color it to make it look nicer Merge them all into one layer except for the bg Layer 3 - Rendering (Sometimes) layer 4-5 - lighting And finally, merge them all together Imagine only using less than 5 layers in most of your drawings for a living 🙄 Couldn’t be me

I love your content ur content made me get more interested in art! Thank you so much for this content

13:22 I didn't think about this usecase but someone told me that the canvas (and due to that also the frame) contracts a bit while water (or color) dries on it. To make it contract evenly you should spray the whole canvas with water before starting to paint. I noticed that a canvas on which that wasn't done was bent so there is a gap between the wall and the canvas which wouldn't be there if you sprayed it before (I did try that)

"I'm all for people doing things the way they like to do it, but if it's not like the way I do things then it's probably wrong." - Sam 2022 this is my new favorite quote

I hate it when people call us drawers! It's artists lmao!

Drawers is my favourite thing to call myself. Also the way he said i didn't see u there! Reminds me of Marc brunet
