😂😂😂 in the past i draw a lot of circle 😃 between two lines or just next to each other randomly like bubbles next to each others in different size Btw you don't stress about it 😊 just draw
As someone that's been through an art education, videos like this convince me more and more that my education was NOT worth it. Sam's videos have probably taught me more than my illustration course did in 3 years

Talent is an illusion you have when observing skill without observing the process of developing it. And he didn't have to trade his soul for it - just a shitload of time.
What amazes me is how fast he is. I mean time/effort vs result it is impressive. Wondering about his brush pressure setup and pen config. I swear sometimes I could say it is a watercolor like. Would be nice to see a video about that.
yeaaa took me a min or two to get the "trees" reference, but finally remembered "trees/greenbacks" are usually refereed to as money because, tress are green, and trees can also be made into paper. So strange the way my mind works sometimes lmaoo
You are one of the few artists I saw here who really want to help new artists to develop their skills.😀 You are my greatest inspiration. I love to watch your videos again and again cause they are so helpful 😉
you should watch the youtuber Drawingwiffwaffles then! her videos are more about her process than teaching objectively but watching her draw can be extremely informative (especially her 100 heads challenge video)
Really, the way you make sure we the noobs need to calm down and take things little by little so we don't overwhelm ourselves in this journey becoming a good artist means a lot for me in particular. I often rush anything, be perfect as quick as possible, no rest, etc which turns me into the opposite, showing a slow progress and somewhat stuck. Anyway, thank you. You deserve my subscribe button!
This opened my eyes why my traditional and digital quality levels are so different. I've been drawing traditionally for 2 decades but just picked up digital . Thank you
This definitely one of my favorite video's of yours, maybe one of my favorite art ones on YT. It's so important to remember how to properly use values!!! defo gonna share this and go back to it when needed.
I don’t know how your channel finally got into my feed but this is my Lucky Day. I’m a beginner and totally appreciate your clear informative approach to drawing! I’m a jazz musician by trade and appreciate the value of practice but, as you said, it’s important to know where to begin! Many thanks for all you do!
I'm in art school rn, and one of my most recent classes was color theory and still life and I've learned a lot about grayscale and it's def helped me improve
Sam, you taught me so much that i didnt understand back then. I’m not so experienced with art but yet pretty good, but i see some issues i do and dont really understand them. Thank you, Sam does education!
Watching you sketch before you paint is my favorite man. Your lines are so pretty. I’m really having trouble with proportions of facial features idk how you do it
I'm an experienced artist with pens, pencils and paints on paper or canvas. But once I made the transition to digital it was hard, but once I got a feel for it all my knowledge of art eventually transitioned over. So in a sense I did have to start with square one, it was frustrating knowing you can make art a lot better on paper but having to stick with this to get better, and I did, but it also has to do with what kind of tablet you have. Display tablets are definitely the way to go the others are just way too hard to adjust to.
Amazing timing for this video, been feeling as if my illustrations have been more flat these days and I couldn’t figure out why :”) I might even try this out with a single hue only too! Something like a monochrome portrait
Okay now...i know why its so important! Thanks alot Sam! Your an inspirational, and talented artist, we love you Sam, i hope you can do a tutorial of painting skin plz🙏🏻
I'd love a video of you talking a bit about how you started and some tips about what kind of a road map you think will be good when learning. I really like your style, I think your understanding of light and value is fantastic and I wanna learn.
thats insane, ive been trying to get coloring down for the longest time. Always on and off with feeling like i was stupid or the videos i was watching had holes in them, here i am learning that i should have been learning values and grayscaling all along. REALLLLLY puts things into perspective. THANKS :)
Thank you so much for this video. I've been drawing with graphite for a while now, but I haven't tried Grayscale digitally. This was very informational! Thanks, Sam
YOUR ART IZZZ AWESOME!!!! And I know YOU GET THIS A LOT, BUT YOUR VOICE!!!! 😍 IT MELTS ME AND IT FEELS SOOOO SOOTHING, COMFORTING, AND I KEEP BLUSHING WHILE WATCHING AND LISTENING 💖💖💖
Awesome video. I’m that new digital artist that has only been studying anatomy, colors and rendering. But I’ve been sleeping on values to be honest. So I’m definitely going to learn about them. What you said about there just being so much info online and not knowing where to start is also true and can be very overwhelming! 😅
so glad i found your channel a couple months back. I really love your style and i cant WAIT to see you blow up!! ALSO I WAS LISTENING TO SHIT ON SPOTIFY AND IMMEDIATELY RECOGNIZED YOUR ART STYLE FOR THE PINK SWEAT$ AND KEHLANI SONG
Thank you for these tutorials Sam! They really help me out a lot. I was wondering if you could do one about "finishing touches" because i really like the last details and shapes you add to your paintings!
I have been troubling picking color even though i have an reference to follow it, but after watching your video, im gonna start with learning grayscale first before jumping to coloring and other complex stuff. Thank you so much! :))
Ah, so fundamental basics of art do apply in both traditional and digital. I always wondered if my traditional knowledge could transfer over. I adore the finished painting! She's so pretty and the contrast is really nice without being jarring.
So good, Sam. We need to get the basics. My schooling didn’t teach me this way. It was all just sink or swim. I learned more basics in HS than in college.
I used to have this problem. I struggle for like 5months?? Even after learning basic forms, light shadows, planes, i still mess up. I do this digitally and assumed I already understand everything but I didn't realize I'm not applying what I learned. the thing that I found to be helpful for values is when I started learning traditional oil painting with grayscale. I exercise myself 30min each portrait focusing only in 4-5 values with a reference. I see huge difference in my improvement when you only have limited palette for a short time and when I go back to digital it's now easier for me to paint even with colors. I also suggest evolve artist course but it's expensive, I'm not a student of this program but I find their curriculum the best way to learn values.
You are actually helpful. I think on instagram aswell on yt theres a lot of do this not that instead of like you saying "this is an important foundation! practice it because of this and that"
damn man, Thank you for this video. I've been getting back into art this year after a couple years and i've been working hard to improve my digital art game. Values is one of my weak points, so I'll work on that using this method!
This video really gave me to confidence to try character painting and that stuff. I'm better in landscapes, but I really want to focus more on face, body and character. But it just doesn't work out. So I might try this
I always feel reluctant to go into grayscale because I get very bored - I'm always so excited to apply the colours. Need to learn some self-control and practice in grayscale!
Wow im actually struggling a lot learning to render art - and last night I started to try to do greyscale and it really isnt working. I really needed this video thanks :D
Thank you! I'm in that group of people who struggle with representing colors & had to practice values more, feeling very called out lol. Could you do a video about transitioning a painting from greyscale to color?
