HIS VOICE IS CHANGING
I DONT KNOW WHAT ELSE TO SAY JUST- WOW(in a good way)
im glad im not the only one who noticed this i just thought i was going crazy
@@leahcamelott im so happy for him
I’ve been feeling really unsatisfied with my art style lately, especially when I look at my friend’s art work and just see so many cool things that I could potentially use but cannot seem to make it work. What I’m trying to say is, perfect timing Oliver. :,)
No matter how good someone's art is or what their drawing technique is, you're are will always stand out and be really cool 😼
Same thing happening to me :””)
I feel like I've rarely ever disliked my art...? I mean, I know I can improve like, a lot, but I'm still really happy with it!! But in terms of style, I think I'm at good point in my art ~
Still need to work on anatomy and stiffness, but I'm happy as of now!
That's the spirit! 🌿🥩
I remember when you just hit 100k, and you’ve gained 16k more since then, I’m really proud of you Oliver : )
As someone who is fairly new to art I’m really glad that there are people out there who give fairly large amounts of time to helping others with certain aspects.
Lengthy comment with lots of thinking ahead :
I feel like people are so afraid to be themselves and "not original". Sometimes being yourself means not being super original. This is actually not so cynical and not bad at all : many anime artists have art that look the same really, but I don't find it bad at all and enjoy their individual art because they're themselves. It's easy to sense (for me at least) when an artist is copying another artist not because they're inspired by the art but because they're like "I like it and I think they're very original also they're popular, so I'll copy their style so people will finally look at my art" (nobody thinks that out loud actually I'm pretty sure it's always subconscious) and it feels very disingenuous because you are not yourself while you are drawing. I did this for a long time, and I'm sure I'm not the only one. I love insects with all my might and it was all I drew for a while, but I was bullied at school for that and started drawing whatever I saw that was the most boring white bread "nobody gets upset" stuff, and when people liked this boring art I still felt terrible because I knew this art wasn't me so they were appreciating a facet I've invented and not the real me. But if this art that I find boring is someone else's genuine self? Great! I'll love it, because it's themselves.
Overall, I know it's very difficult to like yourself and your art when you've had bad people in your life, and also the internet with social media and the hunt for tons of followers doesn't help. I've actually been out of social media except youtube for a year now and it helped me a ton...
This was long I know lol but I hope somebody who's struggling with disliking their art reads this and gets something from my experience!!
This comment really helped and put a few things into perspective for me.
-first-
Others do feel the way I do
-second-
I know where my guilt comes from when I'm not being true to what really inspires me.
-third-
I'm going to continue drawing what I like and not worry so much about popularity.

Thank you dear for sharing your story.🤗🥰🤗

-Much Love
♥️💛💙
@@whowhat.wherewhen oh that makes me happy to know my little story helped you think about some things 😊 much love to you too keep drawing and have fun
@@crinoidthyroid thank you, dear, I most certainly will!!
🥰😘🤗🤗😘🥰
One of my friends have been feeling very anxious with their art style, and most of the time, get overwhelmed whenever they see my art (I've been drawing a lot younger than they were, so I got a lot more practice then them) so I'm definitely gonna send them this video!! They're getting a lot more positive with their art style, and it looks very unique and I personally really like their style. Hopefully thanks to this video, they feel a lot more confident!!
I had an "art breakthrough" recently where I was upset with how my art looked but I couldn't place why, figured out that the brush I was using for my lineart made my cartoony style look really amateur-ish/like an ms paint nightmare. Switching from a completely smooth brush only in black for lineart to a textured brush in shades of red completely changed how my art looks and I love it so much more now. I think lineart is so important and people should consider it a lot more. For some people super smooth and clean inks makes their art look super professional, but for my style it makes it look low-effort and boring. Lineart man.
can confirm that being dissatisfied with art skill is easily mistaken for dissatisfaction with your art style because I went through a phase like two months ago where I Hated my art style and then I realised it was because my art was stiff as hell and I was drawing heads too big. as one does.
I remember a time where I wasn't happy with my art, I looked at it a few days later and I hated it.
I've reached a point that even though I see flaws and places I can improve, my art style and skills are solid enough that I can put my art as my laptop background and like it even months down the line.
And it's not just my world view changing cause I still cringe at a lot of my older art.
i'm still giggling over "if unhappy with style, break down" lmaooo i was about to be like "wow maybe i AM on the right track!"
memes aside omg yes!!! call me out for not facing my line art fears!!! i need to be honest so I can improve and thus be happy with my style!!!
I really like how well you discussed a lot of the factors of an art style, and pretty much laid out the critical thinking of where to go when stuck in a rut with it 😊
gosh i remember when i first saw ur channel and i was OBSESSED with ur art style (still am lol) and now every time i get a notification for ur vids i get so excited! keep up the great work!!!
I love how at 17:37 somewhere right around there it gets all bright i feel as though it makes the painting shine
When I started watching Oliver is really when I started discovering my art style. And I think I took a fair amount of inspiration from it-?
I’ve also noticed that when I do traditional/marker art I tend to go with much cleaner or chunkier lineart and avoid blending my shading whereas in digital art I’ll blend almost everything out and my lineart is less of a focus.
I know this is quite a pointless comment but I just wanted to put it out there- TvT
I haven't felt comfortable in my art style for a while, like I couldn't name what it was, THOUGH, I followed your advice and now I feel as if I found what's been bugging me, so thank you!!!!
Art style is something I've always struggled with, mostly because I don't feel as though I have one even though i clearly do??? but this video was super useful! definitely gonna be keeping this in mind for sure. i always love how you don't directly give instructions but rather inspire people to think for themselves when it comes to this sort of thing while still giving some guidance
I’m in love with the new set up. There’s just something about it, I just really like it.
You have been such an inspiration toward my art style and have helped me get out of art block. Also, don’t worry about your schedule, you have a life and you don’t have to apologize for that. Love your videos!
Art father! A video I very much needed, thank you!
I just opened the video and it took my brain like a whole 5 seconds to process your voice, especially after watching your videos for so long. I can really hear the difference! I can’t tell if I’m proud or jealous😂
It's always fun going back to some of my old favourite art media (animation, manga etc) and recognising something that's in my art style that I must have gotten from that media and then incorporated so completely I'd forgotten about it. Like often by that stage it's evolved into something more my own but you can see the seeds again.
Also whenever I get lost constructing a drawing I always return to triangles and straight angular lines and then will add back in round edges where I think they're needed so it's always interesting watching people who build anatomy from round shapes, my brain doesn't work that way.
I love how your advice is very open to an artists personal needs and wants, but also specific enough that it’s useable advice. Art style is definitely a subjective thing but it really helps newer artists to hear real ways they can change and improve!
I feel like when it comes to art one shouldn't be too worried about finding an art style an just try to learn the basics, an example being depth and the way light affects objects. personally I tend to have a more black and white manga style, their are some things about it that make it more "my style" like how I shade eyes a hair, but I put myself wearing a mask as my profile cause its a metaphor for how I feel more comfortable not showing my face. Anyways my tip for beginners learn the basics of art it can help you improve much faster then just constantly trying to get more followers on social platforms by only trying to find a style that oh so original. Being happy with your improvement is better then being upset that your not improving even though you have an art style.
Okay super late but my art style was HEAVILY inspired by Oliver’s :) I’ve been watching his videos since I’ve first been drawing (about four years ago) and yea, my art style changed a LOT, but now it’s more consistent and more unique to me :)
I've definitely been struggling with my style in the past couple years. I feel like it's too generic sometimes and too complex/time consuming for what I want to do. Which is actually why I started getting involved on YT, and found you and a couple other lovely artists! I love watching you work with traditional media because that's what I'm better at than digital, and sometimes it's hard for me to follow digital art.
Keep doing what you're doing! You're young and skilled and you're inspiring to me, and I'm in my 30's.
with the point oliver talks about around the 5 minute mark; EXACTLY!!!
For me I really REALLY like your art Oliver! But I don't take much if any influence from it. All I can say is I basically "stole" the way Tamaytka used to draw her characters noses and eventually changed it enough to be "unique" to my own style
At the beginning of my art journey I used to draw mouths a lot like the artist from the digital band Gorillaz draws mouths (because I grew up with that band lol)
But now I developed my own way of drawing them and I have no idea what I'm doing :D
you could see art styles as puzzle pieces from different art styles
and when they are all put together they form a unique art style that is yours and yours alone. It might be similar to someone elses but it's only similar. Because I bet you a stone and 1 cent that the person your art style is similar to will never be able to create YOUR way of drawing and getting to a finished art piece!!
OMG I NEEDED THIS!!!!!!!! IM SO EXCITED TO WATCH!!!!!!! LOVE YA!!! ❤️
Oh heck yes! Let's goooo
Your character is really cute! Her character design inspires me
I haven't ever hated my style I don't think... I've changed things I wasn't satisfied with sure but I don't think I've ever hated it...
I think my main problem comes from not liking the execution in an area, and it differs from one piece to another that leads to me 'hating' how something looks.
I don't remember where I was going with this 😅
Art is hard and harder to keep consistent quality and stuff from drawing to drawing
you sound so much more confident and happy my dude
This video came in the right time, thank you Oliver. I've been so unsatisfied with my art style lately, this video helped me so much, again, thank you Oliver.
mr oliver back at it with helpfulness
my style is a jumble of so many different animes and artists?? it’s always changing and I’m kinda in love with how it is rn
YOUR VOICE SOUNDS SO MUCH DEEPER IM ZUSHSIHSYSS I’m happy for u

Your voice sounds so great! Already a noticeable difference!!!
Anyway! Thanks for the tips as always sensei your amazing keep doing what your doing. You are a true inspiration. 💝💖🤗
I'm pretty happy with my artstyle right now... and my main inspirations are you, ABD, and Lavendertowne-
I’ve always thought your art style was very cool and it’s only improved more since I subscribed.
Oliver is back yeah 😃😄
This came right at the correct time thank u so much XDD
I draw a lot of- myself- IM NOT SELF OBSESSED- Its just the most fun thing to draw. Me in cute outfits n poses. I love it.
The self esteem thingy at the end just blew my mind..never thought about esteem and art before?
Oliver can really post a video at perfect timing.
I like how your art style is is very smooth. Like the way the face and clothes look. I try to incorporate it in my art and even drew one of your characters but I’m still trying to figure out how to make it look less blocky. TEACH ME PLEASE 😭😭😭
Beautiful anime drawing artwork~~
kind of off topic, but i love the character design in this video :D
hiii : D
Sksksk... How you paint and shade is so goodd...
You post at literally THE BEST times! I was just having a art style crisis lol
Hiiiiiiiiiiiiii

“Hezity heck- sorry I won’t say that again”
PLEASE DO
dudeeee your voice got deeper!!! it sounds so cool oshrsirhdheh (sorry if this is weird to point out)
Your voice is getting so deep it sound nice
Wow I'm actually early for once, HI Oliver! Hope your day has been good.
It’s funny bc I kinda having trouble with my art style :D
I hope this video helps 😌
VOICE
IT'S
CHANGING....
i remember when u had 20-30K OMGGG
I’ve been really avoiding things I really used to love drawing, I avoid drawing things I really enjoy because I dislike the outcome and I compare myself to so many other artists around my age. I am not improving because I’m scared of people seeing it…
ELLO
Easy way to find your art style
Do something as realistic as you can
Then bring out the liquifly tool and stylize the heck out of it
Be sure the anatomy still kinda makes sense
And your done
One of the first hundreds of people watching 😌
Man I don't remember any of my style inspirations other then it being very much inspired by so much of the Warrior cats community and anime like My Hero and Mob Psycho 100
Literally going through a style crisis tysm
Edit: Also what pencils do you use to sketch with?
Normally I use mechanical pencils, but for this one I used Prismacolor colerase pencils!
did your voice got deeper ? very useful video, thanks !
Yes!
@@OliversAntics69 that's so nice for you !!
I'm doing a star wars fan fic with me and my friends as characters and although I don't know you you are amazing so can I make you a background character like one of the many space pirates
Yes, that would be so cool! If you post it anywhere tag me!
@@OliversAntics69 I will I'm still at the beginning of the story but when I get further in and post it I will. Thank you 😊
Please do a tutorial on how to render drawings I AM SO LOST ART GUY
im early
Noot noot
oh i just wanted to say this oliver did you know that there is a thing called paint brush cleaner
Yup, I have some 😌
Hi ☺️👋
.0. The plants changed corner
Edit: nvm moved back to the left
completely unrelated to the video but I'm a new viewer and I really like your content. so I just wanna ask what are your pronouns?
Totally unrelated but.... I HAVE THE SAME SKETCHBOOKS
me every time I click on a new video: "let me hear ur voice Oliver" /j
no but seriously as a closeted trans guy I'm so happy for you
ejjrke sorry for the unrelated comment
I’m sorry you gotta go through puberty again but it’s worth it :)
Oh shit I found out you don't want to be called "Art Dad" anymore, sorry Oliver. (The comment has been deleted in case you're wondering) Thanks for the tips, helpful. 🤩
Im sorry Oliver but it had to happen 17:23😀😐😞
"Breakdown what you don't like about you're art style" can't consistently draw anatomy below the head and shoulders.
I’d like to add that art style isn’t always conscious. Beginners tend to focus more on style, while more experienced artists just draw without fussing over it, so their style is also shaped by the shortcuts they take and the things they enjoy spending time on.
Just my tip for beginners, don’t worry so much about style. Let your art be influenced by your favorite artists, but if you spend a lot of your time worrying about perfecting your style, you won’t be improving your technical skills. Without those skills, your art won’t be able to capture the image you had in your head and it will only frustrate you more.
Remember that style eventually develops naturally and it’s important to focus your efforts into learning things like anatomy that will greatly improve your art, regardless of your style.
I can’t draw
Yes you can 😤
OLIVER THIS IS NOT FUNNY I'M TRYING TO STUDY FOR AN EXAM
Study 😡
@@OliversAntics69 thanks i'll do my best. I'm sorry for yelling
@@OliversAntics69 never 😈
you’ve been a big part in my style and growth as an artist for so so long now. dont worry about schedule or your « inconsistent lighting » as long as you’re doing well and we still get to see your amazing art and videos or even that we got to see them in the first place. seeing you grow has been really inspiring and im so glad you popped up on my feed those few years ago. youre awesome, happy arting art guy >:)
