Why I have 10000000 layers First layer: sketch Second layer: also sketch, but I changed something but I don't want to change it on my previous layer because what if the previous sketch is better Third layer: sketch one details (eyes clothes hair) *Duplicate all of the sketch layers* That's to change some stuff and if I need to to go back to the previous sketch Layer number idk: Line art Layer number after idk: line art but maybe better Next layer: line art of the eyes and face Next layer: thickening line art in places where it needs Layer under sketch" primary color More Layers on top of that layer for each color Then in between each of those layers you also shade each color 150 layers for eyes 256 layers for background 1 empty layer, but I am not sure if it's empty do I don't delet it just in case 24 layers of additional layers with multiple Blanding mode 10 layers for overlay highlights And 1 layer for my signature Edit: Yes I do merge some layers, and yes I use folders On average I have 20-30 layers No I am not saying it to "brag" about my layer count. Sam just asked how do people have a lot of layers and I answered with obvious exaggeration👍
I don't think I've ever seen Sam so happy with art tips, especially this many in a row💀 Like practically the whole video is just him like "finally, yes😌🙌"
As a traditional artist, i can say that most colours of gouache are indeed for eating because i dont use them for anything else, but white gouache is for worshipping.
Tik tok; How to find ur Art Style in 30 seconds Sam; Gets into a dramatic speech that makes all artists shed tears (also love that Sam is speechless on the 3rd video lolz)
I've always liked emirichus art style so once I tried making the eyes I draw kind of like hers and then I developed this new style I like to draw my eyes in, and it's really fun! Taking inspiration from other artists always helps to develop an art style you like 👍
3:00 goofy guy singin dude thats the haikyuu intro by burnout syndromes its a great song and they put anime music in the background cause they were drawing anime 😤😤 still love the tiktok art tip vids btw
It's so important to know that art styles take time to develop! You don't _have_ to stick to the art style anime-loving 11 year old you decided for you. You can become a surrealist painter! What's stopping you my man
As a member of the traditional artist community I approve the TikTok where she ate gouache paint. And I am a traditional artist cause digital art felt too unnatural to me and it was way too hard.
The best art tip I’ve gotten from Sam is the eye tip. You don’t know how many drawings and artworks have become 10 times better ever since I learned it. Thank you 🙏
11:22 sam: 10 layers is all you need me: ummmmmmm soooo........i kinda made an oopsie and kinda sorta used like 6 maybe 7 layers 1st layer: for circles 2nd layer: sketch 3rd layer: linework+any and all dull collors 4th layer: duplicate of line work sometimes used for color if there is 3rd dupe of it 5th layer: highlights 6th layer: white outline and signature
Here’s my tips for finding your art style. Sometimes it’s not going to come out as you want it to be, but it will be yours. An art style chooses you. Draw things the way you find the more fun, or the way that is most comfortable for you. Over time once you’ve customized every human feature to you, it will turn out to be an art style, yes you do have some say in it but it will never be your exact vision. It takes time, just know that you can’t decide when your style is set, it will happen over time.
here’s an actual art tip i used for improving; in expressions, the like bottom line of the eye will curve according to expressions. if it stays the same it makes the expressions look dull and robot like. (google references) it’s a mistake i see people make a lot and ur art can look kind of off putting if u don’t.
9:29 i dont really like this "tip" because the shadows will always just be a darker version of the base colour. there is no shift in hue or no variation in colour in the shadows. but i guess it can be good for learning contrast and pushing/pulling lights and darks
Timestamp 3:35 yes, my art style has changed over the years a lot. First it was kinda like Tom and Jerry's art style, then I got into anime so I went for a shojo anime style, and then that evolved into my current style which is sort of Legend of Zelda Twilight Princess + Ghibli backgrounds + Black Butler + Okami + the more realistic Final Fantasy games + From Software. (Basically a Japanese video game art style in which I can vary the level of realism, usually is not cel shaded, and I have a lot of options for depicting lighting and weather conditions.)
I feel like people think too much when they're doing art, especially when it comes to art styles. often times it's just best to shut your brain off, relax, and let go. Whatever comes out naturally IS your art style.
I paint backgrounds and landscapes. If Sam sees the amount of layers I have in one file, I think he'd go crazy beyond the point of saving (spoiler : some can reach above 100 layers, especially ones I focus detail on). Most I've had in one file was 130 layers, but this was my second artwork at the time and I was using a mouse.
13:31 everyone at my high school that does art needs to see this. Especially my class, even the teacher. A part of my soul dies as I see all our tools incredibly mistreated and I am reminded that I'm the only one there that actually cares about art. ;-; Sorry about my rant, school's just really upsetting and not doing anything for me rn
0:58 MY FAVORITE SEEN IN THE HOLE VIDEO🤣, also he literally says “child” and he helps with bad art tips for the “babys” he’s literally like a lovely calm father figure 😭💙
[02:54] Him: going nuts over the art hacks Me: HIKARI ARE Edit: THAT GOOFY GUY SINGING IN THE BACKGROUND? DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA WHAT THAT SONG IS AND WHO WROTE IT? HUH?! *enters screechy voice mode without being screechy, cuz can't stand it* FIRST OF ALL: BURNOUT SYNDROMES IS AMAZING. SECOND OF ALL: THIS IS HIKARI ARE. THIRD OF ALL: I KNOW THEIR MUSIC IS EASY TO HUM ALONG TO, BUT THEIR SONGS ARE NOT EASY TO SING. (I KNOW THIS. I'VE TRIED. I GREW UP WITH MUSIC, I HAVE GOOD EARS IN THAT MATTER.) FOURTH OF ALL: define 'goofy'. Fifth of all: I know music isn't your type of art but please don't do that. Now I gotta check if it was the original, and acoustic version or that one cover that is currently trending, I'm torn. Edit's edit: It's not the original but it is Burnout Syndromes. And it being so quiet really pointed out how amazing these vocals are... Sam go listen to them they're actually amazing. One of my personal favorites is Atashiinsomnia it doesn't have anything to do with anime (as far as I am concerned) but it's an amazing song. PS: you can always look up the meanings of lyrics. It's an option.
Hey! I just got the notification I love your humor, your tips, and your videos. Your hilarious, concise, and helpful! Thank you so much for posting on RU-vid everyday.
6:22-6:28 sam and this is why traditional artist say "your computer does everything for you", you just proved their point, you get wrekt 😂😂😂 ps I just became a digital artist a few days ago and yes us traditional artist consume paint
For that second video that says to draw in a thousand tiny boxes, that isn’t gonna work if you’re not learning anything new. It’s practically the same as drawing several squiggle with no thought to each of them. You need to learn something new with each piece to improve
3:08 I am that person (I did learn the basic stuff) and let me tell you, not learning anatomy is the worst thing I have ever done, I know how to shade stuff but anatomy. No, it's a fucking pain. Don't be like me and learn anatomy first for your own sake please :,]
I use 30-50 layers though i merge or delete them after i have multiple sketches for easier editing one lineart (besides clipping layer for colored lineart) multiple coloring layers beacuse i hate coloring the shirt but the skin also gets…shaded? Idk lol so yeah 30-50 but 30% i merge it all lol
@@user-hb4zz4gh5e yea, there are a few models that are pay only but really you’ll only need them in very rare situations. The rest are mostly free, but a few you get temporarily for watching an ad
Everytime when I see these types of videos, I find it sad that the good videos gets like 10k likes - 70k likes and the chaotic ones gets like 100k - 300k likes, like *guys, come on, give people the love they deserve*
How I use 100+ layers: Sketch folder: 3 to 10 layers for the sketch 1 layer clipping on the folder of sketches to give a color (I usually sketch with black, but I see a lot of artists sketch with a color that's not black) Lineart folder: around 10 layers The same number of layers to color the lineart Color folder: a layer for every color that is in the drawing 1 to 12 clipping layers to shade these colors Background folder: lineart and/or colors 5 to 18 layers
when i first started digital art i forgot you could add layers so i put myself through hell trying to paint over every single mistake instead of creating new and different layers
Hey Sam! Can you make a tutorial on how to effectively use references and draw without copying them, or just stylizing them? I wanted to learn how to draw my own image and create my own work, and I really like your art. Thank you!
I started internally crying when I saw the magic poser Tiktok. I was looking for a specific pose a month ago for a drawing, and I was very desperately looking for websites and apps that could allow me to create or find any pose I'd like, but I never found one so I cancelled that drawing idea. This right here would have helped me so much. At least I know now 😭
