THANK GOD FINALLY SOMEONE WHO CARED FOR US MERE MEDIUM LEVELED GUYS
Same
LMAO TRUE ITS ALWAYS COMPLETE BEGINNER OR SUPER ADVANCED
@@kit2691 I know right? it's always hard to find proper tips for my skill level.
Ikr!!
what did he mean by this
I feel like I took a year’s worth of art classes
You did, I learnt more here than i did two years of uni... lol fml
drawing always has been a passion of my mine. and art just doesnt really love me back. even so. i work hard practice day and day out. however my art never improves.. can you critique my art pls i just need a pros point of view
@@pogz1 hi ! i am by no means an art professional, but i've been doing art for my entire life and am currently on my second year of being an art major. from what i can tell, you're doing great! i can tell that your forte is anatomy and bodies :) the only thing i would suggest is working on facial proportions and studying the structure of the human skull. as for individual features (such as eyes/lips/noses) try practicing them using basic shapes !! this was an exercise we had to do in uni and it's helped me a lot. best of of luck
Well i feel like i missed all of it 😂
I went to art school and there are things I've learned online than I ever did in art school. Art school felt like a scam, now that I'm out.
I believe, that after 16 years of beginner art tutorials, this is the first intermediate tutorial ever uploaded to TH-cam. If you've got more, everybody would be interested. 😁
I think the tempo and appeal videos of Sinix are very intermediate subjects.
Very true! They're always so hard to find 😳
Oh for sure 😂😂
"Hey everyone sinix here"
-God
I pray thee, mine master of shape design
For thy are everlasting in thine established appealism
Giveth us inspiration
Our God of Art; Sinix
And Sinix said, "Let there be stroke economy," and there was stroke economy.
funny aint it i tried so hard and never got so,, in the end i never improve. its like doing weights and never gaining. its like i work twice as hard as anyone. but its for not. i need a pros judgement/critique on my art vid..
please rise for the national anthem
@@philipodetola6 troll? Reported
Hey everyone sinix here is literally everything 😔✊
anatomy is like me trying how to fly.... my brain just cant take it. lol can you critique my art vid pls. it just my never improves even if i try so hard
Those emojis are eww
@@yokokurama5174 thank you 🙄
@@pogz1 ok 😊
The stages of artistic grief:
1. OMG Sinix posted again!!!
2. This is so awesome and inspiring I need to make something RIGHT NOW!
3. I'm inadequate :(
Keep at it, discipline beats talent
truly lmao. i'm still struggling with the 2 value distillations. he makes it seem so freaking easy, but then when i do it on my own, i'm so fucking lost. i kinda wish he'd start selling individual lessons for like $100 a pop where you can sit down with him and do a 2 value distillation together lol
My art philosophy is that in order to be decent at any art you have to create an absolutely hot garbage art
@@bathestyles6525 The key is shapes. I still get the shapes wrong, but it's a learning process
If you care about drawing and painting at all, you are not inadequate. Everybody else is too busy doing stupid stuff
Wow. Rare to see a middle ground tutorial for intermediate artists. Most tuts teach things you already know or things way beyond your level.
Thank you for this!
Ooh! I'd be interested in the ones "way beyond your level". I never see those..
@@Ianuarius It's basically every speedpainting "tutorial" video ever. The teacher talks about the fundamentals and then just says "So now on, it's just basic rendering..." and never really talk about what's the scope of the rendering they are doing or how they think or look at things while doing so.
Also, when they skip the whole sketching and drawing phase and start with pre-made lineart. Like bruh, that's where the fundamentals-intermediate-master combine into the base of the entire thing, why u skip that?!?
@@Ianuarius basically what Jesus said.
@@jesustyronechrist2330 Yeah omg, i really hate those videos because i want to see how they sketched that amazing drawing and how many attemps they needed to make it look like that.
its amazing how they can flawlessly draw stuff. for me its real struggle as if even i try so hard my art never improves.. please critique my art please😣
The genshin impact study blew my mind, I’ve been using line-based sketches my whole life, this tip is an actual lifechanger
Sinix I want you to know that the Genshin study example blew my fucking mind like nothing else ever has--thank you so much!
IKR IT WAS SO GOOD
I cried watching this. Why is it so emotional to me.
Same :D...maybe because its overwhelming when we actually found something that actually can help in our art journey? I hope what I'm saying make sense..
This channel is so incredibly underrated and I will promote it aggressively wherever I go
Same!
someone like you brought me here. They were too aggressive. It worked tho :D
Absolutely. Always learn from the best!
Good thing I've always been telling to children who are taking their study seriously.
"So you wanna learn English?" - then even if you think I'm a good teacher and adequate at it - learn the language from it's native users and you'll surely get better than me. I'm here only to show the way. You want to learn how to draw characters? There are not many good tutorials in Russian, and there are a lot of industry professionals who are sharing their experience with the world, but in English. So you'll get the best you can find in TH-cam (with subtitles ofc) and get much better at English without even trying to. Of course you'll need some base like grammar but that's why I'm here..
I love the process of creation, but the only thing I'm devoted completely in this world is teaching.. got a little bit carried away but you get the point :D
Learning from people who are just a little bit better than you (because you think you'll never get better than them) is just wasting time and making extra stops on your neverending journey, isn't it?
I believe in Sinix Design supremacy
🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐
Idk why but it made me smile when you used that Genshin Impact image for the video.
Lol ikr
Love fischl
I like the game, but I really, really, really, really, really hate the mobile-game predatory monetization of it.
Also anime, but that's not important.
Same :D
funny aint it i tried so hard and never got so,, in the end i never improve. its like doing weights and never gaining. its like i work twice as hard as anyone. but its for not. i need a pros judgement/critique on my art vid..
This literally saved my ass from browsing youtube for hours. I just wanted to learn to paint digitally, but most channels focus far too much on everything at the same time without a good basis. This is the BOTTOM of that learning curve and I'm all here for it! Thank you so much :D
If not for this tutorial I would still be blending until everything becomes a muddy mess and that perpendicular form line is a game changer for me. I've watched countless tutorials, and I understand that a lot of artist can't teach and often times they just do what they do and that works for them. It's just sad that a lot of beginners and even intermediate artists will tend to pay a good amount of money for tutorials that doesn't even teach the basics, but rather is just a demonstration, often times with poor explanation of how they do things that will ofc vary from project to project. No shame to those artists, they just want to make a living and ik they're trying their best, I'm just looking out for all my fellow new artists out there.
7:36 is like two brushstrokes away from a kuvshinov ilya painting
back to basic.
literally, just add some color in the lips and highlight in the hair
I wish I had seen a video like this a decade ago. It took me so long to figure this stuff out on my own. Even when I searched specifically for answers, I never found anyone who summed it up this well. If you are just getting into digital painting, watch this on repeat until it is burned into your brain!
Sinix makes me realize how unskilled I am 😂
same.
drawing always has been a passion of my mine. and art just doesnt really love me back. even so. i work hard practice day and day out. however my art never improves.. can you critique my art pls i just need a pros point of view
Omg this is like SUPER important, I'll definetly see this video a couple of times as I'm still learning
Oh, yes, i'm going to save this video and every time i'll get to painting too! Id never get by myself
I've been hyper fixating on exactly this all day, you truly have blessed us
Totally
I had never clicked on the notification so fast
I don't usually leave comments on videos, but I want to give credit to sinix for being a huge part of my art journey. This tutorial is amazing.
FINALLY AFTER YEARS OF WAITING.... IT IS HERE, THANK YOU SINIX!
I was confused where was the “previous video” was he talking about the beginner video? Sounds like last week’s video.
RIGHT TIMING I’m making a painting rn and I’m struggling
Edit: I was painting sucrose and albedo from Genshin impact and then you mentioned Genshin impact-
digital art is difficult ive been struggling alot lately and my art wont improve even how hard i try. can you please critique my art video
wait wheres the timestamp please
God, I finally feel like I learned the proper vocabulary to express why I prefer the shading of some artist's work over others, and it's their use of shape design combined with their choices of shape economy (or intentional brush stroke) that separates "good" from "great". Thank you so much. ;-;
SAME!!! especially the painting style or the semi realism style instead of flat coloring!!
maybe its due to my prefrence because i always loved the way they used or incorporated shape to give their art volume and yeah basically what you explained too! and I think its also becuase painting can be messy and i enjoy alot of messy portraits specifically color mess portraits :D
My art has been so stunted and I didn’t know what next step to take and I finally realized that I’ve been rewatching so many beginner tutorials and real learning the basics that I needed to break away from that and move on to intermediate. I didnt know I was at intermediate level until i watched this video, thank you so much for taking the time to make this King 👑 😩
I recently got into drawing /slash painting . I didn't realize how hard it was psychologically. So many struggles when learning the ways of the visual arts.
Thank you for the video.
It only took 3 hours to render that picture??? This is insane. This artwork alone was so amazing, it looks more realistic than the actual photo (not photorealistic but like more real and life like). Looking at your art makes my chest hurt it's so beautiful.
THIS IS MORE INFORMATIVE THAN ANY PAINTING VIDEOS I'VE WATCHED THANK YOU
I watched this when it came out and didn't think much of it cause I wanted to use lines only. Now that i'm coming back to it, it has soooo much information that has improved my perspective and my art. I can't believe I overlooked this a year ago....
same here, i think combining the best of both worlds (lines and painting) is the way to go
sinix teaching is really on another level it is so understandable.
This is the first higher level tutorial I've ever seen that was actually easy to understand
I'm definitely a novice regarding digital art but I just love seeing different people explaining the styles they use, gives me lots of things to practice and different elements I can try to apply to my own work
I love how you explain things. It’s very efficient and easy to understand, you get straight to the point and the topics of discussion are very clear making for a very effective teaching style!
There isn’t many well planned out intermediate lessons for artists on TH-cam, so this is incredibly helpful! I always recommend your channel to other artists I come across.
Thank you so much for your time and hard effort, it is incredibly appreciated!
"i get it, mhm very interesting, aaaaand i'm lost"
well i'm just gonna go back to practicing following the form with brush strokes with my hard edge brush and maybe paint more from reference so i understand what good colors look like.
anatomy is like me trying how to fly.... my brain just cant take it. lol can you critique my art vid pls. it just my never improves even if i try so hard
I love how straight forward this is
this is literally the best tutorial ive come across in a while holy sheet
Your series of painting tutorials really opened up my eyes. This deserves millions of subscribers! Thank you!
Sinix never stop surprising for bringin a lot of useful, better, vital information to really push your skills beyond your current level. And the most amazing thing is that they're both so practical and theory-based, that you really can understand how the magic works.
Sinix, you really make a difference to us artists
I have been dabbling in digital art for years when I've had the time, but you are the first person who really gave me the tools I needed to understand painting. In the first of this, moving to shapes was something I never had even thought about, and it makes sense now why working in 3D was easier for me than painting, because I never got caught up in the lines. You are also the first person to make blending actually make sense, to outline the fundamental principles as related to shape. Thank you for your tutorials.
i’ve been loving all of these frequent uploads, your videos are so helpful for young artists!!
Ah yes, I've been waiting to take my art to the next level, really grateful for the intermediate version!
my digital art has progressed so much. thank you 😭
man, this basically solved my shadowing problem. i cant believe Im watching this free
as someone who just started drawing at the beginning of the year finding your channel has been just .. I'm just so thankful.
I love your explanation! Let's not forget that this is literally free high quality course
Man, this is the clearest drawing lesson I've ever taken. Thank you.
Good job on the girl portrait, love the emotion that came out. Really inspiring stuff! Great advices and terminology that I've never heard anywhere, but which were still understandable.
BRO UR GENSHIN IMPACT ONE WAS SO GOOD OMGGGGG
THIS is the Color/Painting class I always wanted to attend to back in my Fine Arts Faculty. I‘m telling you, I did 4 years of a Bachelor‘s Degree in Fine Arts and all my color subject classes never explained the right steps to achieve that way of color shaping and simplification, how to add color ambience, etc. Most of my teachers told us to start painting X and afterwards, corrected us, which could have been useful if we had clear fundamentals and an understanding process previously taught to us. Many of them were just subjectively teaching about complex concepts from great masters (Velazquez, Rembrandt…) without explaining how to get there, how to prioritize on our first steps into the canvas, etc. I did a lot of trial/error and of course that taught me things, but having the right guidance definitely can speed that process and provide greater results. Super well done, thanks!
Thank you so much for this! As somebody who struggled to get out of the "go straight for details" mindset with digital painting, your beginner to intermediate videos with an emphasis on big good shapes and values then refining from there was so goddamn helpful! Have a great day man, these videos were a real gem :) 👍
I've been struggling for month on how to improve my rendering. After this video I feel like I can finally start improving again with stroke direction and stroke economy, thank you so much
15:06 it's so insane to me how something as simple as CROSS CONTOURING can make such a huge difference, yet it's never crossed my mind while I was actually painting (like DashieGames said, sometimes the easiest solution can be the last thing on your mind, lol). I've been studying digital painting since the start of 2021 and your videos have been a big contribution; I've since changed my direction to working on something more personal, but lessons I've learned (shape design, big-medium-small, and now blending direction) will no doubt help me be an even better artist.
Thanks for doing what you do, Sinix 😁
I appreciate this, there are so many beginner tutorials but once you get more advanced it's hard to find tips on how to improve.
A tutorial for intermediates. YES! this is for me!! Thank you! ☺️
this and your beginner video have been very helpful to me. exactly what i was looking for. distillation and shape work is seriously blowing my mind
Very well explained! I was blown away at how simple this actually was! Thanks
I love to think of the 2 value distillation as a pumkin carving. You dont want tiny details because you wont be able to show it well on a pumkin. Hope that helps someone out there!
THIS HAS EVERYTHING THAT I NEEDED GOD BLESS YOU OH YES
This video is exactly what I needed, I would LOVE more like this! Tips like this are so hard to find!
Was looking forward to a sequel on that last painting vid. This’ll be my dose of inspiration for next month lol
You don't know how long I've been looking for this exact tutorial! Thank You
i gave up on drawing a year ago bc i was too stressed out and i cant focus in my toxic household but last week im staying in my aunt's house and it really helps me relax so i try drawing while listening to music.
wish me luck ig
I'm genuienly concerned about how you teached me way more things in 18 MINUTES than my art class ever did
Hey man, I've been watching you for many many years. I love how humble you are, despite your obvious talent. Thank you for the great content!
This is a very helpful tutorial, thank you for taking the time to actually explain proper terms and rendering techniques. As someone who's watched tons of art tutorials trying to improve, it was refreshing to see someone actually teaching and not simply recommending a blending mode or quick tip.
This video really brought everything I have been learning to a point so that I can finally use it all, it kind of just clicked. Thanks very much.
thank you for the video, getting better at art requires thoughtful thinking instead of just mindlessly grinding it.
And your videos dear sir, provide that extra something most of hobbyists lack to get better at improving their art skills.
Man, your videos are some of the best art tutorials that I've ever watched, they are extremely helpful
hey sinix i just want to say your tutorials have been so helpful and gave me new motivation for learning digital illustration. There's a lot of popular and trendy art channels that just do cool art without explaining the theory (who abuse the airbrush quite a bit haha). I never really understood why I didn't like those channels but after watching your content I finally understand. You're teaching us how to make quality art without cutting corners, I really respect that. Thank you so much!
BEST TUTORIAL SO FAR!
I'm so glad i've found this channel. I've been digital painting for years but my work would never really improve. This fully helped me find the areas and focus on what I need to do to improve. Thank you so much!!
That helped me so goddamn much. I never knew how to blend anything and how people did it, but the form thing made me feel big brain. THANK YOU SINIX
Thank you! I learned so much about shape appeal, distillation, and rendering. This was super helpful for a beginner digital painter.
These are so refreshing! After watching dozens of digital painting videos over weeks, it's nice to hear someone calmly go over the basics without any hype. I find the vast majority of "painting tutorials" are either:
A) Someone very talented painting with very little to no explanation of what they're doing.
B) Someone very talented painting, but they focus on the steps and not on the theory.
C) Someone with a level of talent or professional experience describing things totally peripheral to painting, such as how to land a job or motivate yourself to paint.
Those can all be helpful in their own ways, but at the end of the day it's very much about the sort of core fundamentals you go over in these videos. I feel you apply similar skills to making videos as you do to painting; it's very often about saying less, not more, but making sure to say it very concisely.
Thank you! we need more videos for intermediate artists.
Extremely helpful!! I feel like this answered most of my questions and questions I didn't know I had. Please pose more things like this!
the stroke economy blew my mind. thank you so much for this tutorial!
damn... all of sinix's guides are just so concise and to the point but still easy to understand. maybe I should on on the painting train
Woahhhh just yesterday I saw your "how to learn digital painting for beginners video" And today you posted more about it!!
This helped a lot probably the best digital painting tutorial I've seen
I love you, man. You care for us.
You are literally sent by God, theres no way someone is that GOOD and nice enough to share their tip
Man this video is just so goooooood. Simple, useful, I was enthralled following the study. Saved!
Holy crap i am called out with that stroke economy thing. You’re the best art teacher on TH-cam, love your videos so so so much
As an low intermediate art I learned so much and what I should work to improve on thx so much
As someone who comes from the drawing side and always struggled to take abgrasp on digital painting, I am totally mindblown right now. Thank you so much for these tutorials!
You're the Art Teacher I've been looking for years.
I'm finally understanding WHY some of my draws and digital paintings are looking off even when initially they seemed OK.
The light-to-dark ratio as a composition element is an overlooked point for example.
There is also something that is completely forgotten or purposefully missing in today creative age and it has to do with ETHICS.
Most technically impressive pieces have terrible themes, characters or environments.
I wish you made more videos aimed at beginners and intermediate guys like this one explaining concepts and how to actually paint and render great stuff
FINALLY! I have been waiting since your painting for beginners video! Thank you very much!
This is exactly what I needed in my currenr art journey!! Thank you so so much!!
I feel like taking notes for once in my life :)
This is good, a lot of good stuff packed into this one.
This looks like a really good exercise, thanks!
Your artwork is amazing!! I have to say you’re one of the best teachers out there!! Huge fan of you Sinix!!
the video is a pure essence of your art development 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Sinix-a pure gem❣️
You make everything seem fun and easy. Thanks for it
You're the hero we all need!
you sir are the art god.
