The secret to drawing FASTER 

whats the first song name?

I've been on a character line up for a week. It's not just a fantasy I can't even imagine

Dude my last full illustration took me roughly a month, not nonstop ofc, as I did have a week or so of not working on it, but still it was wild.

@@tirramasu7948 i feel this so hard lol but tbh one of the major takeaways i had from this video is that context is everything. jackie drew 3 pieces in an hour and a half but even she said that that’s different than drawing thumbnails, picking a color palette, etc. those are things that will benefit from you slowing down and thinking about your decisions. which tbh made me feel better about taking a long time on certain drawings - sometimes it actually is the right decision lol! but ig practicing drawing quickly will help you draw faster in the future, even on those projects that require some thought. anyway i just wanted to chime in in solidarity lol - someday we’ll get there… slowly but surely…!

Though not quite the same. I’ve worked on storyboards in the advertising industry and have to turn out a lot drawings in a day and amend them. 8-10 drawings a day minimum. On an intense day and a year ago it was 21 drawings in about 9 hours (same day). The more you do the faster you get but obviously deadlines are a motivator too 😂

B-but... perfectionism...

@@BurntSushi. Care to elaborate? For me I had to realize that I am not my art. My value is not first in my art. Perfectionism actually gets in the way. One particular project I literally spent 7 YEARS planning. I realized if my ugly drawing, film, website, game, etc. wasn't good or perfect, I could try again with the next one. Then I would at least have a whole bunch of decent artwork when I'm old and grey, rather than a bunch of unfulfilled cool ideas in my head. What's been your battle/process with perfectionism?

This is actually some handy-dandy advice. Thanks!

​@@milesmungo Honestly, I'm still in my early(?) learning phase when it comes to art, so do with this information what you will. When it comes to anything I do, I am always extremely detail-oriented. Writing projects, art, work, etc. I take my time to make sure that everything I do has detail put into it. My attention to detail has been extremely helpful in art classes, where teachers stress realism in order to help students with fundamentals, but I struggle to transfer my attention-to-detail from realism to a more stylized way of drawing. I know how something is supposed to look, but I'm too stuck in the boundaries of reality. I can't figure out how to draw something without all the important details or in a stylized way when I know that features that are supposed to be there. Additionally, I always plan on keeping my drawings as personal reminders. There has never been a time where I felt comfortable with throwing out something that I remember drawing. Sure, I may just turn the page in my sketchbook and start drawing something else, but it's still there to remind me. However, when I look back at those things, I just get discouraged because I know how bad it looks compared to other things that I've been able to draw or drew on the very next page. I don't know if these make sense at all, but those are my problems when it comes to drawing for fun.

I’ve met a few professional, very successful illustrators, who design all their work on cheap printer paper. Because expensive paper makes them second guess themselves too much, for editorial illustration you might need a finished piece in two days. Their works’ quality doesn’t suffer, because they found this workflow through experience and trail and error. They would also echos Jackie’s comment about not drawing things you don’t enjoy drawing, if your portfolio is full of very clean line work and you hate drawing like that…well you’re going to be hired to draw that way if that’s what’s in your portfolio !

Have you tried the tips have they worked for you? I’m so curious

Felt this 😭💔

9? Make it 15 for me 🥲

I agree with this sentiment as someone who is currently in art school and has to stretch my creative brain in many directions, this really helps to quickly get stuff out there.

You can be a casual artist and prioritize the same things as a pro. But yah she generally is always giving advice from a professional artists stand point, which should be kept in mind because we don't all need to create art the same way 🎉

Well I would like being a artist as a job one day, I have been wanting that since I was in grade 2

I love line art. Hate rendering because it's so hard for me (I can't visualise in my head)

Nice In Rainbows pfp

?

@@ArtofcarissaI think it’s because her name is Jackie

I've been using clip studio paint for about 4 years now! It takes a lot of getting used to but once you keep having different trial and error situations, the more easier it gets :)) best of luck fellow artist!!

I'm so glad! thank you!

Thank you for the tip!

Still waiting for my copy :’)

just apply what you can, and this video seems like its geared more toward people who know the fundamentals and have a decent visual library

@@kashe7285 thank you. i just generally have a bad visual imagination (not full on aphantasia, but something close) so i cant picture things in my head aside from very blurry approximations. it sucks, but when i start drawing at least i can see things on the paper/screen and i start using the canvas as a way to visualize what i cant in my head (though of course it doesnt always turn out how i want it because of skill limitations)

Uh oh that’s a tough one

damn i wish there was a video for something like that.
