I normally learn a lot by observing other artists paint while trying to figure out why they are making the choices they are making. I recently started studying Bo chen and Dao le's work. I immediately started seeing major improvements in how I approach art. The point is. Find a artist that has finished artworks that resembles the art you want to create and study their work. Do this with as many artists as you can and develop your own process based on what you learned. It helps understanding your digital art program and all the tools in it.
I'm curious how do you do this exactly, like looking and trying to repeat?
Yo same, I love those guys, the way they simplify their process is fascinating
Heyy can you tell me where I can find those artists ,I mean which would be the perfect platform to start looking?
Study their process not their work is even better !
Timeline:
0:43 intro and tip 1 - creative process
5:51 tip 2 (bringing us to shapes): go strong and bold choose, choose easy references, plan better
10:21 tip 3 - form: graphic design is king, simplicity is everything, perfection is bad
13:28 tip 4 - texture: don’t rush, monotony is bad, halftones FTW
16:18 tip 5 - color: hue shifts, temperature, bias the exposure
Such a brilliant guide!
You have a knack for addressing the stressful and confusing journey of learning art and design. As a total newbie, Im constantly feeling discouraged and overwhelmed with this process. Videos like this are SUCH a breath of fresh air. Its like getting briefly lifted out of the maze Ive been stuck in. Thank you for sharing!
How’s the progress so far. I just started
@@arson4426 What i have found over my past few years of stubbornly (perhaps foolishly) pursuing my creative passion is this: Progress is immeasurably slow. Then, all at once, you experience something of a leap forward. It's never a "huge" leap forward, or it's never been for me, but its an incredible sensation nonetheless. Ive never woken up and thought "oh ive suddenly mastered environment design and have an effective creative workflow", but the realization of something like "im a lot more comfortable constructing volumes in 3D space and have a decent grasp on perspective now" is an immensely rewarding feeling. I try to think about learning art and design in the same way I think about building a pyramid. I imagine getting that first layer of those heavy stones down feels hopelessly fruitless. The base is so much wider than the rest of the structure and it hardly represents what the end product will look like. I imagine the rest of the structure is still a lot of work, but the stages go by much faster, assuming youve properly laid the foundation that is.
I dont consider myself "naturally gifted" in regards to art. Perhaps, "naturally interested and passionate" but i cant express how clumsy i originally felt with a pencil in my hand. Even though I still dont have much to show for it, I know Ive come a long way. And, while I still have a VERY long way to go, if I can do it so can anybody.
@@ipsey4794 thank you so much for writing this. Ill continue on my art journey and I hope you do the same
As someone with an autistic brain, I understand now why everyone says that I'm "talented" or "naturally good" at art, or it comes "easy" to me.. If design concept is about studying and picking out patterns to create design concepts, then people with autism are starting on easy mode because our brains are typically hyper sensitive to pattern recognition....
Something I’ve noticed that gives it a professional touch that I’m still working on myself is the confidence in your strokes. When you lean into the decisions you make(and just trust your brushstrokes), it’s easier to make it look like you intended to make those decisions giving your art a more of a professional confident look. (Getting there but that takes more practice and experience lol) let me know if you have any tips to help with that!
something I recently learned was that once I understand why a certain shape looks good I can draw them with confidence even when they get really abstract.
@@awesomeonejess exactly!! There’s some crazy magical stuff happening when you give it that extra umph of confidence! Something I guess you can only unlock if you do it often or if you really believe in it haha! That’s super cool though! Keep on drawin!🤘
as a beginner I'm overwhelmed but I'll definitely learn all of this in the future
have been wanting to get into drawing environments for the longest time, mostly bc although my main focus is character design, I noticed that even my occasional environment studies somehow help my character designs so much. Ig it has to do w the fact that my main problem in doing anything is overcomplicating it and for some reason enviromemts help me learn simplification more efficiently. This channel has been the most awesome guide throughout my environment journey and made the thought of having a long way to go feel exciting instead of depressing. Simply wonderful stuff✨️
I was trying to be the faster runner instead master the mighty learning of the crawling, the fundamental principles of art. Bless to this video 💫
This video is genius! The artists on TH-cam that I follow kind of explain the same material, but you were able to express it succinctly and break the ideas into a process, which is usually where I get stuck. Like, why trust the process, when there is no process? 😆
Thank you for this video! ❤
Thank you so much!!! You broke down a lot of design concepts that I was already doing, but didn’t know how to continue improving on - the example with the silhouettes really blew my mind and I’m definitely gonna run off now to make some silhouette studies of my own to improve my ability to paint form and light now!
Great video! I've noticed you've been putting a lot more into the editing of your videos lately too, everything flows really nicely. I'm sure it's a lot of work but it definitely shows
I covered this a lot in the last video but basically the first step is to copy really simple references or scenes from life. Then over time gradually increase the difficulty of them. But the order to which practice is drawing> value painting then full color
Thanks yeah they take me many nights/ weeks to put together.
I didn't try to learn the art fundamentals the last few years and now I just see how much my skills are lacking.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts. Your videos are helpful. 👍🏼
There is a lot of gems here and I belive my key to unlocking my next level is here. Thank you for sharing this knowledge
From my point of view composition is about two main factors and their variations. Value contrast and shape contrast. These two are important because they are related to how our brains perceive the world. An image will be more interesting and pleasing in the way in which varies those. Complex or simple, it just has to be varied. Using these types of contrasts you can guide the viewer through different spots. I´m not even talking about what those shapes represent.
For example light and shadow or perspective are meanings assigned to shapes. but shapes can be interesting even without those meanings assigned. This is why abstract art also works.
If you also add meanings and symbols to that interesting shape composition, you´ll have a winner.
The world might be in three dimensions BUT, Visual arts and everything we see are always two dimensional. Our eyes can only perceive two dimensions. There are no 3 dimensions in it. Every shape in an image is two dimensional. There is a two-dimensional set of shapes we associate to our perception of space and we can use it to our advantage if we want to make something more "real looking": perspective, light, shadow, contrast, color, etc
I could have used this so many years ago when I was in college. The things you've said will definitely be on my mind. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
You really have magestic understanding of the topics you teach on
🥺oh my days! You are an art buddha! I have been enlightened with your wisdom!
thank you so much for this, honestly! I have always seen artists try to tell beginners, that it doesn't look finished- and to push it more, but never go in depth of how to actually do it!
WOW. This was one of the best videos I've seen. You put so much of my misunderstanding, fear, and frustration into words and images in one video. I was afraid of drawing even the simplest thing, rocks. But, now I want to try again with this new perspective on the process, shape, silhouette, form. The way you broke down an image I wouldn't even dare try to even draw let alone paint so quickly, yet so simply.. It was amazing to see you prove it out with a gradient of organic complexity; a rock, then a tree, then a human. I'll have to watch this multiple times. I'm absolutely in awe.
"Figuring out a process in which I can program my mind to interpret art." Yes, this.
One of the most constructive 21 minutes of my life
Criminally undervalued information right here. Thank you so much. I’ll remember your guidances fondly as I go forth in my art career.
The amount of information that is packed into this one video alone is amazing. I knew shape design (as in C S and straight curves) was important but it was only one side of shapes. Thank you!
As a newbie in digital paiting, I saw tons of videos. This one is on the top of the list for clarity and usefulness. Many thanks!
Note: but, down to the basics, the real difference is made by how you control your strokes. I'm already quite good at creating whatever effect/material I want and at lights and shadows effects, but my strokes are painfully unprofessional. So, I must focus on that, above all anatomy and figure drawing, or I will always be frustrated whenever I must draw a character in my good-enough (for an amateur) landscapes/environments scenes.
Oh, yes, I forgot: subscribed right away! Thanks again.
"YOU CAN'T RUSH ART!" -- That guy from Toy Story 2.
I kind of understood these art fundementals, but never really managed to put them into practice. I'mma save this video for later and start doing some routine practice.
This was very helpful!! I'm studying graphic design but didn't know how should I implement the elements of design onto my drawings but the way you explained made it clear to me! And even with examples wich helped to have a vision of how should I try to use them
This was SO helpful! Thank you! I usually go overboard with detail, and this is actually a relief. I love the graphic contrast visual as well. Thank you again
Talent is what ya need. 😊
Your verbal explanation and ordering process for visual problem solving from start to finish is incredible: your thoughts are extremely articulate, simple and clear. Thank you for this content! I would love to study these concepts with you in more depth.
THANK YOU man, I have the same problem which was really trying to simplify stuff and deconstruct them, I know now what to do!
i'm gonna watch this video everyday before starting my studies. thank you so much!
This video is exactly what I needed. I'm at that stage in my artwork. Thank you!
You got this!
That looks great almost looks in between two different styles.
This is great! Thanks 🙏🏻 literally changed my day. Having the right perspective on the tools that you actually have to judge and fix or even just critically observe your own work makes the whole difference. ✌🏻❤️🙏🏻
Considering I've watched your videos here and there for the last 10 years (thanks for your help btw, your videos have been fundamental to me) I knew this vid was gonna be good. And it was! Your videos are so distilled and effective. One of the best resources on YT.
It feels so difficult to go all that way to "perfection" of one's art piece. They look many times gorgeous and I wish I could do similar.
Wow thank you so much for this! The amount of amazingly useful information you managed to explain in such a concise way and with great examples in only 21 minutes 🤯 I'm blown away, had to get my sketchbook and rewatch to take notes so i won't forget any of this gold, will apply it on the piece i just started. Thank you again for such a thoughtful and generous video, i could feel my two last brain cells synapse as i was watching hahaha
Very informative. Thank you.
Thank you so much for this! 👏
Appreciate your wisdom, also love the use of examples for everything!
Helpful video! I have most of these down but really had trouble balancing texture. That last tip is huge for me
This video teached me so much a whole course wouldn't! Thanks man
Such valuable information. Thank you so much.
wow this video was amazing! lots of very usefull info and great examples, keep up the great work
THANK YOU! Very decent refresher.
thank for this lessons i take notes on my paper
Amazing stuff Tyler
Thank you 🙏
as always top notch material Tyler!! I always recommend your videos, this one is golden and I agree with every single word. awesome!!
Thanks for your positivity Iris
Very good points here. These have really helped me over the past couple years.
This video is amazing 👏
Damn that was some good info
amazing video man, really clear prespective to look at things, amazed by your way to break down things.
Awesome vid, very informative, thank you for sharing! 💖
great summary, I really needed that
This is very informative. 🥺
Thank you for this fantastic video !
your channel is an incredible resource :) thank you for this video
bangin tips, learned some new stuff, thanks!
Awesome video Tyler! Can you recommend any art books that cover the principles you talked about in the video. Thanks
thank you sm, i need some sort of list to help plan!
thank you
Such a helpful video thanks
Hi Tyler, thank you so much for your videos, they’re really inspiring. Particularly your colour illustrations of scenery, your use of colour and light is so beautiful. I’d love to know your thought in how I could get started as a complete beginner? What’s the best way to get off the ground with zero knowledge on the road to the dream of designing my own scenes? Any thoughts would be great! Thank you again for all you do, you’ve really inspired me.
Basically draw first. Learn to draw things from observation in perspective. I wouldn’t worry quite yet about getting into advanced theory or anything but just get some experience rendering our basic objects in spaces. Then try to shade them adding in values
@@TylerEdlin84 Great advice, thank you!
thank you for this great video
Good shit brother
I clicked on the video cuz i saw kagetsu. Cool to see a fire emblem fan outside of the fire emblem space online!
I’m very much a big fan
Thankyou for the video....
THANK Y OUUUUU
Where did you get the references that you show at 8:50? Those are some beautiful reference photos!
Random Pinterest finds
I looove this lesson. 😍 But it is not a beginner lection. 😳 I was a bloody beginner two years ago and I had problems like "why are my lines that shaky or why are my gesture drawings that ugly and useless". 😂 Another question I asked myself: Do I need to draw fanart although I prefer to make my own stuff? I have a resolution for all this questions now. 😎
I clicked for kagetsu. A lot of good artist information in this video though.
Amazing
Oh kagetsu ❤ o.o thanks for the tips XD
hi, what is "SHLA Zing" mean ?
, i dont get that
. Thank you for sharing
5:58 ah yes, the best advice, just get good /sarc
But often ppl who have no idea about art ask "what’s going on here/is is finished?"
Can anyone tell where Graphic art are use . I draw Anime potraits in Photoshop so how can I use it as a potential portfolio picture . And which client I should focus
Great information packed video! (also hey it's Kagetsu from FE Engage!)
I was wondering if you have the explanation images, like "juggling and simplification of process" or "the elements & principles of design" etc., up to download for later reference anywhere?
Yeah played a lot of fire emblem last month. Those images not specifically but there’s a bunch of freebies for signing up for the newsletter on my site
@@TylerEdlin84 Fire Emblem is always a great time, my favorite franchise, very inspiring for art too!
And thanks for the reply, I can't seem to find the newsletter on your website though, only the specific contact form.
Can somebody please send this video to HBO?
You never learned the shapes in any of your structured learning platforms.....yes...I agree with you..totally.
Then....how to learn? By practicing your own?
Why is my brain so dumb.. i cant seem to grasp any of this if i think hard about it and try to execute. Im not giving up but sometimes i wonder if some people (especially those like me with abnormal brains) are a lost cause and just.. cant.
I just wonder if those steps can be applied to UI design?
I wish I could learn how to draw properly the fast way... and to find my style and so on. Stuff like this helps but also so much stuff is hidden behind a paywall (and it is the same for many creators online), I really don't know if better graphic tablet would help me or not really (i am working on the smallest one that costs around 30$) and I wish i could buy the bigger one.. Also, references are bad? What if I am using the customizable poses and trace them and then customize the pose by myself? Just to get the fundamental and then do it on my own. Is it also bad way?
1) there is no fast way to drawing better 2) better drawing tablet won’t make you a better artist 3) references are good
@@TylerEdlin84 Thanks for your answer. My point is, that my current tablet has poor pen pressure detection so drawing stuff like hair is really complicated and time consuming.
The reason I typed "i want to become good fast" was mostly about improving. I am studying anatomy on almost daily basis. Doing mastet studies or studies of art I find myself interesting and trying to adapt the techniques used.
About the references. Is it necessary a bad thing if you are using posing dummy, trace the pose and then manually update the trace with anything I like? Instead of not-tracing it and doing it the traditonal way of only observing the pose and drawing everything by hand only?
@@jaystergg dude, do it the way you like it, enjoy the process! I personally love photobashing and painting over stuff, its different medium but its really enjoyable.
@@Heisenburg17 I wouldn't really say "photosbashing", but since I don't really understand that much of the basic fundamentals, the main concern about this is, if I can do this at the beginning and leave this controversial technique with time
@@jaystergg Leonardo da Vinci and Michelangelo used the camera obscura, Norman Rockwell used a projector and so on. I see a lot of modern artists who use projectors in the traditional media.
I thought this was a good video. I noticed you did spend alot of time on painting, and it made sense, especially about grouping the shadows and keeping the values simple. I did see one of the images you had in there was a layout which was purely lineart. I'm curious what your simplification process would be for that considering there still is alot of detail in lineart.
why some chinese artists drawing on 1 layer et start by the colo ?
because they're experienced & high skilled enough that they can juggle with many factors at once. as well as enough planning/experience to paint what they desire.
think traditional painting.
🖤
Have you done work for Overwatch ?
No just Warcraft illustrations
brabo
its kagetsu lol
Haha yep 👍
Bald artists are built different
Damn, why are all the "beginner" vids are either way too advanced, or very very basic? Grrr
Graphic design have nothing to do with art
Well we can disagree
I want improvements too, I draw in my channel
wow this video was amazing! lots of very usefull info and great examples, keep up the great work
