When people ask me for drawing tips I always say “The eyebrows can either make or break a drawing” because eyebrows have a lot of expression and depending on what position the eyebrows are in the facial expression of that drawing can change drastically.
"Steal from yourself" yeah I keep a reference sheet from my previous art pieces for hands and face angles. If I draw something I really like, I'll trace the basic shapes of it and add it to my reference sheet! I won't just re-use it exactly though, I'll do my rough sketch first then refer to that sheet when refining things and try to change it up a little to avoid same face syndrome etc.
4:03 you can do that in photoshop by adding the stroke layer style to the layer, I feel like it’s a little better on the layer than on the brush itself so you adjust it later on :))
I draw in Krita mostly, and I actually stumbled upon a similar effect months ago by a Photoshop artist, by that I did some digging to find a way of doing the same thing using Krita and it was a lot helpful! :D
Little tip about the art glove: They make single-digit art gloves too. I use one for procreate so I can still do three finger gestures without having to use my thumb at an awkward angle. Also, making outline brushes in Procreate is very easy once you get the hang of it. The key is combining two brushes. Yes, COMBINING two into ONE brush!
4:27 Yes. You absolutely CAN do that in Photoshop, there should be a layer styles menu that pops up when you double click a layer or in the drop down bar that has the option to stroke your lines. It's simpler in Clip Studio Paint but Photoshop has way cooler features for it.
Sam - You wanna make sure that you are getting advice from people that you admire, people who you trust, people out there doing the things you wanna do Me - Yes that's Sam basically Sam
Good tiktok art tips timestamps 0:33 "Stop using squares to draw hands" 1:30 "Artist burnout" 3:58 "Easy Lineart Hack (Clip Studio Paint)" 4:35 "Drawing eyes with expression" 8:51 "3 Digital art tips" 11:25 "Using white colorpencil"
Hey!! to do the outline thing in Krita that you see around 3:56 !!(for anyone else who needed it bc my art will usually consist of a line surrounding the art) *Right click on a layer *At the very top, section option, click "layer style" *at the very bottom of the new pop up, there should be an option called "stroke" *press the square next to the word, and voila! i advise already having a line down so you can see what it'll do while you mess around w the settings with the brush :]!
You should see discord algorithms preventing NSFW content xDDD They blocked a drawing of a girl in cream coloured dress (while her skin had completely different colour), a drawing of an astronaut in a very pink suit (while the face was almost yellow) and a green plant on a chair drawing xD
I always draw eyes after finishing the whole drawing (obviously the rough eyes will be there) just so i can escape from the deadly looks of my drawings that try to look directly into my soul.
14:07 My tip: use the digital art glove for traditional art too! I do both digital and traditional art, and whenever I’m doing my sketches it smudges a lot. The fabric of the glove doesn’t smudge the pencil as much, especially on material like canvas. Plus, it also makes it more smooth! I know this is a pretty basic tip, and yet I always see people complaining about smudging and not doing anything about it. There is probably a specific glove for traditional art, but if you already have one for digital, might as well use it for both.
Sam, if you read this, I really love your videos! They have helped me so much. You give amazing advice and your personality is everything! Please continue to make such awesome content
10:40 Explaining that one, is just the effect of reflection of the light. Is usually blue because the natural light of the sky is blue so it bounces and makes a great effect. I don't recommend doing it with another BG colors, because wouldn't make too much sense. It depends tought.
9:34, was I the only one who was watching the colors (except red) on the tiktok match almost perfectly with sam's t-shirt? Then the girl said 'nothing in life is that bright' but I look at his shirt and I'm like. Oh.
For 4:30 in Photoshop, you can add a stroke to the line. If you want transparent pixels with an outline, you'll have to rasterize the layer and select all the pixels inside it with wand tool and delete them. For the people who use Paint tool SAI like me, you can do this by going into Layer > outline to add the stroke, then you can delete the inner pixels by doing Layer > convert luminance to opacity. Note that this only works if the inner stroke colour is white and the outer line is black, because lighter colours (towards white) get deleted and darker colours (towards black) remain
4:21 I did this in procreate and it’s really easy, just make two brushes, combine them (select both brushes then click the option to combine), and then make the combine mode difference, then change the primary ones maximum size
4:23 Well, in ibisPaint is possible to do that. You just have to select a brush, go to type and click on "Double". Then click on the "Body colour" and set its opacity to 0. Last but not least, disactivate the function "Separate each stroke"
Ok so hope I'm not late for it but I can tell you how to make a lineart brush like the one in the video. You can duplicate any brush 2 times, so you'll have the original and 2 copies. You will select the copies and combine them into a dual brush. After that, you change their combine blending mode to difference and then you change the maximum size of one of the brushes to be slightly smaller than the other one. That's it hope I helped!
"Jesus Christ is the Way, the Truth, the Life. No one comes to the Father except through Him. There is no other intermediary. May Jesus Bless you, trust Him, give your life - and He will take care of it :pray Convert yourself and believe in the Gospel
4:00 In Photoshop, select the layer, click the FX button, select "stroke" and play with the settings, once you are happy, you can drop the opacity of the layer and just keep the stroke effect active.
The nose tip its quite good, I use it quite a lot. It helps making sure that where you put the eyes, lips and ears etc, look anatomically correct. I normally do the lines first then more to make the nose, if something doesn't look right then I move the lines. I mean, it works for me but it might not work for everyone.
I litterally started watching this today and Im LOVING the concept already😫✋ I also hate the weird voice of a creepy robotic woman in tiktok so you're not alone😂
10:43 I swear, I just heard the "You changed" and immediatly knew it was Scaramouche saying "Bearly two words in, and you already look like you want me death. You're getting all worked up over nothing~ You changed! You're getting weak." 😂
At 9:19 I think it kinda depends on the artist, their style and what they want to achieve-I myself often use highly saturated colors to give a very bright and fantasy-like feel, which can be done without saturated colors but it's just my preference. Ofcourse, that doesnt mean I ONLY use saturated colors for shading and highlights, there are times I go darker in the color wheel. No hate on anyone who'd rather use more middle-toned colors, it just depends on what you're going for.
"That's a really important part of any kind of facial expression is the eyes" Haha if only I could draw that on some of my characters- sometime I don't draw the eyes and just put a mask or sunglasses on them.
That message at the end was perfect. Whenever I see a tutorial for anything I check if the creator has any examples of their work and if its any good. Writing tips? What have they written and how is it rated. Art tips? How good is their art AND is it similar to mine (i wont take abstract or traditional art tips cuz i make digital anime art lol). Ik im not the best but istg some people online think they are perfect
6:23 I got banned for live streaming on here for drawing It was a live and I used to start from eyes then head I had just drawn the eyes and jaw and then I got banned 😭
4:20 sam you can do that pretty easily just create a new layer and double click on the right side of the layer itll open a menu go to drop shadow and increse the opacity to max and the make the spread really low. you can do it with inner glow and outer glow too to achieve similar effects
I agree with some of these videos being way too chaotic ;-; And while I know they're meant to appeal to "adhd kids" they're really only gaining views off self destructive behavior. As a person diagnosed with this disorder, staying focused on stuff can be physically impossible without aid (stims, medication, fidgets, etc.), though if a topic is of great interest it can really pull ya into DEEP focus. So basically stuff is hard to focus on unless it's fun or interesting to the individual or it's the big flashy loud yelly thing that's pretty much impossible to ignore. Now, as I've discussed with friends and mutuals before the healthiest way to live with it is to try to make things that are hard to focus on enjoyable to do, interesting to engage with or simply treat it as a necessary obstacle that one needs to figure out how to get around to get to the fun part (e.g. I can't get myself to learn art theory, so I look for well made videos that are enjoyable to watch, think of fun mini-games and challenges to practice or tell myself stuff like "look, if you put all your thoughts into figuring this thing out you can afterwards enjoy drawing it over and over again with your favorite stuff!") Unfortunately that's a more effort requiring attention grabber than just "JDGWJSYDIDGDIDBDDIWGDIDG" And even more unfortunate is that sooooo many videos are just made to be quick overstimulating attention grabbers (I've even had a private conco where I asked someone who wanted to be an art content creator why they have to put all those noises and extra overlays and videos and texts on there if they put so much effort into their art and they straight up said it's for the views and that with my condition I "should be the perfect viewer, no?") Though just because they grab attention and give views from people like myself doesn't mean that it's due to interest or enjoyment. Much rather it's the everything going on, the "we both know you don't care about this bs at all but look at the fun moving colours wheeeeee", which inevitably gathers a viewership of people who don't care about the content creator or even the content, potentially resulting in just a toxic gathering of people who want nothing to do with this content but stayed because it's "HDHWUDGEKETDOEDGDIEHDJF" On top of that it's DRAINING as hecc to constantly have that stuff running and can genuinely use up someone's entire body battery to do anything (as if having constantly a duwgdjdillion thoughts simultaneously while barely being able to keep focused as a dozen things around you just banshee screech for your attention and your phone adds another 50 layers of visual and audio stimulation. Being under constant ovestimulation can either end in a shutdown or in the buildup in a resistance to it, which however in return may make one feel unbearably understimulated when the overstimulation ceases, causing one to seek out more stimulation aaaaand the rest goes without saying. It's just awful really, as it not only potentially worsens the lives of people who already suffered with an inability to stay in one place mentally, but may also have an impact on leading people without the genetic issue to develop similar habits based on basically "audio-visual stimulation addiction" (No shade to those creators who have chaotic videos exactly because of this condition, but definitely to those who actively have a negative impact for no reason other than BIG VIEW COUNT HEJDHDJDHDKEDG
I've been doing the lineart/stroke trick for a long time now. you create a new layer, and on your layer tab you go down to the fx button and select stroke (you can also right click the layer and click blending options to open the same window). the you set it to 1, black, and I use either outside or inside stroke (center looks weird). paint with white and set the layer to multiply and there you have it. I reccommend installing the OLM Smoother plugin (since the lines look kinda jagged). one you're done you raterize the layer style (right click on the layer, raterize layer style) and apply the olm smoother (I use it between 9 and 15 of smooth range)
Procreate should have a default brush already like that one at 4:05. Great thing with Procreate too is that you can edit or create a brush!! I'm not to sure with photoshop, haven't used it so can't really help there, sorry *^-^* hope this helped you guys
It´s really easy the tip of clip art studio on photoshop, just put your layer on a group and on that layer apply the layer effect - stroke, and that's it
Sam dealing with genz artists be like: Gosh I'm getting old 🧍 No you aren't getting old, we are just a weird generation, anyways I love your vids bro 💖🙏
Great video, as always! I don't have tiktok but it's still super fun watching your reactions! I was just wondering what's going on with your merch. I remember hearing you mention that you were designing some a while back, but if there's been any news since then, I must have missed it.
