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. 😂
Yeah, if you try it and it looks bad everytime you're probably just doing something wrong 💀 it's so much easier and looks so much better than when you use boxes
@@Oh...1tsSeven it doesn’t work for everyone, doing art is meant to be what works for you just cause it doesn’t work for him doesn’t mean it’s a generally bad method :)
@@dahliad1937 That's the point. It's doesn't work for everyone, that's why so many people are upset about him with the cylinder method, he tried it, it didn't work, and he proceeded to call it bad, saying it didn't work and that you should never use it because it's a bad method.
I realize, that what I said made it seem like it had to work for everyone. I meant that, it's a better method for a lot of styles, and is generally an easier way for newer artists when developing a style
@Olive No, most are not square, no way they are all from insta. I think tunblr and deviantart has quite some presence too. Plenty of Asian minitutorials, btw. (I can't recognise the writing).
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.
"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 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.
Personally, mask layers, alpha lock layers, and clip layers help me identify which one is one. But if it gets too cluttered with one of the same layer type, I name them.
@@mariastephens1827 I used to name the crap out of them like “skin base”, “skin shading”, “shirt base”, “shirt shading”, “eyeball”, “iris” etc. It was all very informative, but it was a complete waste of time. Now I just group layers with clipping together and I name the group, but only of it’s a piece I’m working on for more than a single session.
I always name all my layer, but I have sort of an algorithm for it : Groups (Rough, Rough Lineart, Lineart, Colors), and then the layer is just the parts (Face, Coat, Shirt, Hand etc), I think its easier to name groups than each layer. Whenever I add in base layers, I tend to flatten them onto the actual layer or make a whole layer for shadows and lighting. I also like working in way less layers than my peers (I have seen people with 47 layers and I have like 6-7)
I do most of my work in one layer, especially if its a painting, so I don't really need naming layers If the drawing is supposed to have lineart and stuff I make groups and sometimes name them instead, especially if I'll like animate the drawing or export it somewhere else Then naming is essential
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
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
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 😔
@@bikub7640 agreed, and also to make himself feel superior and any of his viewers who don't do this feel a sense of pride and agreement, which makes them wanna watch him more.
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
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) :)
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
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
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.
i mean, dude literally says “it’s okay if you draw differently than me, we just can’t be friends”. i don’t think everything he says is necessarily serious or a strict guideline lmao you can take some advice from him and leave out others, i still draw heads with boxes tbh.
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
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
Unless you use too many layers and confuse what is what you can name them (or export it to a different program) Or you can name groups instead, takes less time ✨
It's better to name a group and throw all the layers correlated to the topic in it. That way you aren't wasting time naming all the layers, but still have some organization.
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
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!
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)
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)
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
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.
I keep a sketch book in my bag and a big sketch book under my keyboard. Not only does it raise the keyboard making it more comfortable to type, but also I just move the keyboard, open the book and sketch. When I'm done, I close it, move the keyboard back and continue to use the computer.
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 also add water to the back of my canvases, but not for the same reason as that lady, it doesn’t help with the painting directly, it just can tighten up loose cheap canvas. It’s really helpful for artists who can’t afford expensive canvas
In regards to the wetting the canvas trick, you are meant to spray the back of a stretched canvas and let it dry to get it to shrink and *stretch* over the frame. If you want your first layer to stay wet longer, add drying retarder or switch to oils.
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.
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
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 :)) 💙
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🗿💮✨
5:11 yes thank you. I guess it works for this kind of illustration, but every time I watch these eye tutorials it looks so time consuming and there’s way too much going on. Eyes are probably the thing I spend least time on in my drawings
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..?
A fellow Canadian artist! Wonderful! And in fact, I name almost every layer on my drawings. The ones I don’t name are layers I delete/replace later. I’ll typically name my sketch, my lineart layers, shading + lighting, and backgrounds. For example, I’ll name a background “Background” then add a number beside it. Sometimes I have different sections for my background, then I’ll use two numbers; one for the background section, and for its number, like Background 1-3
You could also spray the front of the canvas you're painting... Y'know, the side you're painting on? I can't say for sure, but I imagine wetting an entire canvas all the way through will affect the fabrics and have it not sit the same, especially if it's poorly made/unevenly stretched.
I happy that there are lots of people now days sharing their tips but also sad at the same time because there are too many 'artists' trying to give you their tips and tricks, meaning there are a lot of people helping but not necessarily people that really know what their doing, too many people sharing misinformation on leads to more misinformation and more untrained artists thinking a few tricks will make them pros. I am an artist myself and I know I'm not all that good but when ever I do seek tips and information I always seek what I need from actual people who know what their doing and not from an app full of untrained artists who only share mostly terrible information to portray themselves as smart just to reel in the views and likes. Don't get me wrong I am not saying all art tricks on apps are wrong, I am just telling you to take all these tutorials with a grain of salt and don't rely on them and actually follow a pro artist who not only knows what their doing but also have many many many years of experience.
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)
✨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 💗
14:46 I was drinking coffee while watching this and almost made coffee come out of my nose by laughing. Good video Sam. - also no I don’t name my layers when drawing, because I don’t care, and I try to keep my layers to a minimum - also pt.2 watching till the end of Sam’s videos are always great lol
If you have a small marker stain on paper and don’t have rubbing alcohol, spray a cotton swab with perfume a few times and rub it out. Once it dries, it should be almost /completely gone.
7:29 I do name my layers! But I just get so much into my drawing that I forget to draw on another layer, which results in my hair layer having shoes XD
i usually dont name every single layer but i do try - i pop my lineart in one folder and colours in another (same with Foreground and background if i wanna do one) and try to at least keep the seperate flat colour layers named. but i do usually just stop trying to name them all once i pass a certain amount of layers

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 ;)

In regards to the wetting the canvas trick, you are meant to spray the back of a stretched canvas and let it dry to get it to shrink and *stretch* over the frame. If you want your first layer to stay wet longer, add drying retarder or switch to oils.

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.
sam never fails to make me laugh like a maniac
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
Sam always gives so many great tips! I am currently failing art, so I am gonna binge watch these videos😅
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 :)) 💙
4:34 AYOOO FELLOW PIPINO IN THE ART COMMUNITY TAMAD NA REN AKONG MABUHAY ‼‼‼
1:09 theres actually a book thingy where the papers are oily and it's basically like a bunch of pallets stuck together

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🗿💮✨
5:11 yes thank you. I guess it works for this kind of illustration, but every time I watch these eye tutorials it looks so time consuming and there’s way too much going on. Eyes are probably the thing I spend least time on in my drawings

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..?
Glad I'm not the only one who thought that. 🤣
spraying the back of a canvas is normally used to tighten the canvas not to make the paint dry slower
The bird plushie is me 24/7
A fellow Canadian artist! Wonderful!
And in fact, I name almost every layer on my drawings. The ones I don’t name are layers I delete/replace later. I’ll typically name my sketch, my lineart layers, shading + lighting, and backgrounds. For example, I’ll name a background “Background” then add a number beside it. Sometimes I have different sections for my background, then I’ll use two numbers; one for the background section, and for its number, like Background 1-3
I GENUINELY THOUGHT HE WAS JOKING ABT THE RAID SHADOW LEGENDS UNTIL HE JUST KEPT GOING 😭😭😭
You could also spray the front of the canvas you're painting... Y'know, the side you're painting on? I can't say for sure, but I imagine wetting an entire canvas all the way through will affect the fabrics and have it not sit the same, especially if it's poorly made/unevenly stretched.

Sam, my life will never be the same...
I happy that there are lots of people now days sharing their tips but also sad at the same time because there are too many 'artists' trying to give you their tips and tricks, meaning there are a lot of people helping but not necessarily people that really know what their doing, too many people sharing misinformation on leads to more misinformation and more untrained artists thinking a few tricks will make them pros.
I am an artist myself and I know I'm not all that good but when ever I do seek tips and information I always seek what I need from actual people who know what their doing and not from an app full of untrained artists who only share mostly terrible information to portray themselves as smart just to reel in the views and likes.
Don't get me wrong I am not saying all art tricks on apps are wrong, I am just telling you to take all these tutorials with a grain of salt and don't rely on them and actually follow a pro artist who not only knows what their doing but also have many many many years of experience.
This man has the most ASMR inducing voice I’ve ever heard.
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)
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! :)
Sam running from his art responsibilities?!! SAM DONT RUN FROM YOUR RESPONSIBILITY
✨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 💗
14:46 I was drinking coffee while watching this and almost made coffee come out of my nose by laughing. Good video Sam.
- also no I don’t name my layers when drawing, because I don’t care, and I try to keep my layers to a minimum
- also pt.2 watching till the end of Sam’s videos are always great lol
Sam needs to launch his own art tips.
If you have a small marker stain on paper and don’t have rubbing alcohol, spray a cotton swab with perfume a few times and rub it out. Once it dries, it should be almost /completely gone.
Big artists when people draw differently than they do:
Fr, underrated comment honestly.
the birb is distracting me... I WANTTT ITTTT 😭😩✨💙
15:17 HE WENT CROSSEYED💀
The traditional art tips are really useful! Thank you sm cause I was struggling 😅
the ''please.. we are not furniture'' got me laughing on the floor 0:12
7:29 I do name my layers!
But I just get so much into my drawing that I forget to draw on another layer, which results in my hair layer having shoes XD
for the layers, when you are completely happy, some apps will let you combine layers!
i usually dont name every single layer but i do try - i pop my lineart in one folder and colours in another (same with Foreground and background if i wanna do one) and try to at least keep the seperate flat colour layers named. but i do usually just stop trying to name them all once i pass a certain amount of layers
3:12 the video starts
The cornstarch one kinda works, just know that when it drys there's cracks in it, not visible far away but noticeable up closd
