That's actually really interesting. One time when doing a commission, I made a sketch for the "rough draft" of the design, and I show them. They really liked the sketch. But it was just an idea, so when I did the outline, it was in a completely different style. I was trying to go for more corporate look, but they said they liked the sketch. So I drew an outline specifically for the sketch... and then they said "no, like that actual sketch" they just wanted me to clean it up a bit. I couldn't believe it, the sketch was even better than what I first thought it would be.
Happend to me a lot. The sketch often looks better than the end result. Just like the video and your comment, i think it's the stokes and the messy part of it that makes it authentic, so i recently make my drawing looks "messy" when i do the lineart
Sometimes i use the sketch AS the line art! Just colour normally and let it rest on top, and colour the sketch layer as well to fit the drawing, it's really fun! :)
Lol but this is actually a good idea. Like how people use washi-tape to add more instrest to their art, you can cut some sandpaper to make the handle of the knife more instresting.
Them: *has a good line art pen* Me: *aggressively tries to recreate it in IbisPaint* Edit: guys this comment was made months ago I did a buttload of research💀 but thanks for the advice anyways
This is really great. I’d also recommend using clipping masks- they seem scary but a 2 minute tutorial will completely change how you create digital art. Do what makes you happy and play with perspective if you feel as though your art looks to flat. Colour burns and overlays are great. If you wanna learn it, there’s a tutorial.
Ooh, this is pretty good. I’ve never thought to do this, since I only really draw on paper for now. I do wanna do digital art one day, so seeing how having similar matching color hues works is great for me in advance. I probably would’ve struggled if I didn’t see this and just tried without understanding how to make color hues match well beforehand. Thanks LavenderTowne! I hope your weekend is going well!
That’s amazing bro!! Hope you get far with your dreams. Maybe one tip is that the hardest thing about digital art is adjusting, in my honest opinion. Having to learn all the tools and commands take a lot of effort for newbies. So at first it may be hard, but with the hang of it. You can create and explore with different styles. High hopes for you!
What I learned is to draw a sketch and erase the messy lines while going over with cleaner lines to make a sketchy line art, it takes away the painful lineart process and makes drawing so much funner, better and easier for me
I did that and I like it but for some reason my brain isn’t happy with it cuz lines need to be “SMOOTH” and “CLEAN” But I like it sketchy I just.. I CANT ALLOW IT
@@pixility5612 i struggle with this when in comes to something i’m drawing looking simple i like simple art it’s just not good enough when i’m drawing it
Same here! I have naturally shakey hands so I often prefer my little chicken scratch, then I just erase all the extra lines. It's really fun to color, especially when the "line art" is kinda see-through, it mixes the colors better for me
I remember having an art book filled with sketches because I was too afraid to do line art because it looked like a TRAIN WRECK 😭 This helped a lot, tysm!
I used to have this problem- it got so bad that with my new sketchbook I commanded myself to always finish my sketches no matter what. What helped me was choosing colour palette in advance to avoid the stress of messing up inking, and investing in some good quality inking pens that make the lineart pop! 🖋️🖋️🖋️
Also, putting a bright bright color underneath everything can help you catch the tiny holes that'll appear when you work with light colors on a white canvas
@@billcipher8645 I think it depends on the piece itself! :) If you're going for darker colors, black may be a bit too dark to see anything but if not then go for it! I tend to use light gray and then habbitually paint the background black or white to catch anything. But tbh, it doesn't really matter much in final piece
Yes yes yes! I tend to use green! Sending WIPs to my friends would usually result in jokes about hurt eyes though, haha. (And eventually got on my nerves, so I still use green but a slightly less bright green.)
dude tinting art (thats what i call putting one color beneath the whole thing, idk if thats what its called or not) is a great way to unify your colors. i consider myself to be a begginer but trust me on this one, tints are _lifesavers_ xD
Oh, I do so love your shorts with tips! "Find a brush that you like" is way harder than it sounds. I feel like I've been struggling for years, and still have no idea. What brushes do you like to use? Are they in Clip Studio asset library?
I know this will sound like a huge time sink, but as someone who’s just recently gotten into digital, I find that doing small little sketches and then lining and coloring those can help!! so, like, draw just the head of a character, duplicate it a few times, and then select a brush, line one, select another, line the next, etc. It’s really hard to tell if the brush will actually work for what you want if you’re just swatching/scribbling with it, as opposed to really lining it. Plus, if it’s all the same sketch, it’s easier to compare the brushes!!
@@eleanormlodecki2383 basically, you add a layer underneath the base colors and fill the drawing in a color of your choice. after that, you lower the opacity on that layer (moderately, not 100%) so that the base colors are visible, yet still blending into the color of the underlay you did. i'm not too good at explaining things, but i hope this helped!
@@notatallfunctional yes! Erasable colored pencils rock! Also you can use colored pens or inks for the final lineart, or just stick with the colored pencils. For copic proof and water proof, I recommend Dr Ph Martin's Bombay India inks (they come in many colors), Sakura micron pens, copic multiliners, Tombow Fudenosuke, Sharpie Pen (not the ultra fine marker, but the one that says pen on it bc the marker is not alcohol marker proof) and Faber Castell Pitt Artist Pens. All of these will not smudge with watercolors or alcohol based markers, meaning you can color your drawings with wet media.
for so long i tried having that "perfect" clean lineart and i switched between thick and thin because ive hated it either way, only to realize that i loved it a bit messier and varying in line thickness, texture, etc! but of course thats just for those of us that do. creating art that YOU love is always a journey and it changes! just have fun w it
I love how lavender gives us all these tips (for digital artist w coloring!) she uses to help us improve our art and get it to make them "pop" out more
Something I recommend for a more interesting line art is to use a pressure sensitive brush so when your line goes down put more pressure on it therefore making a thicker and when your line goes upwards don’t put a lot of pressure, therefore having a thinner line. This is my secret to add depth.
I used to do that when I had a phone thar had a pressure sensitive screen. Now that newer iphones don’t do that anymore (and I draw digitally pretty much only on my phone) I had to adjust my strategy. These days I make multiple passes on my line art. One to capture the information in the sketch, and then the rest to add depth and texture. I’ll kind of sketch over lines and corners I want to thicken so it has a slightly random but fairly consistent thickness in those areas
"Dont be afraid to make your linework a little sketchy" this is something I do. A few years ago I hated doing linework, so I'd end up just coloring sketch. Now, I either refine my final sketch to make it cleaner or draw sketchy/textured linework
I literally felt like a god when I "discovered" the multiply and overlay layers as a kid. They became incredibly useful for my scanned sketch and I just toggled the contrast and luminescence.
I really love this video, I already knew all these tricks and stuff but I also had to figure all those things out myself. I really appreciate this because they are good tips for someone who wouldn’t know or who is new to art.
You perfectly summed up what makes sketches so good. They just have so much... personality. I loved all of the tips to bring some of that personality to a final drawing ❤
If you have a heavy hand like I do and struggle to make nice weighted lines, I suggest drawing with a brush without pressure sensitivity, then manually adding weight where you want to express weight or overlap ! (for reference, I often use the gel pen or a less smoothed version of the monoline on procreate at 1% or 2% size). I find that it's easier to edit lines that don't have weight to them, and it helps me be less precious with my lines because it still feels like a sketch.
I do that too!! It takes longer than if I could work with pressure sensitivity, and started as a workaround for me because my new phone doesn’t have a pressure sensitive screen like my old one did, but honestly I like the result so much more.
Out of all the art tips I’ve seen by different artist, yours are by far the best. I think it’s because your tips don’t cater to your specific art style :)
that the unifying color thing just single-handedly improved all of my sketches because i thought they were trash before. this fixed them greatly thank you.
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, Your advice has saved me so many times, and now it’s like second nature. You are truly a staple in the online art community
after years of drawing (I'm an amature) I finally figured out that in order to be happy with the final result (or even go for making complete coloured pictures) I should not overthink/overdo the sketch. Helps a lot in everything. Roughly sketching on paper and then layering linework/colours in ps and seeing how it turns cool and neat is just joy
I'm a traditional artist more than a digital artist but I feel that these tips can work for traditional art as well. Instead of a single, unifying color behind with opacity, I could try a very light version of that color over it. I've been trying that a bit lately. Love this short.
Yeah ive learned covering as much of your sketch as possible, leads to your line art looking just as good as your sketch, there's often alotta small mistakes/thing you like that the scribbliness will cover up/create, so mimicking it in your line art usually leads to a result closer to what you imagined
I really love these short tutorial videos!! I'm kind of an amateur digital artist, and all of these videos are short, sweet, and to the point (great for my attention span). Super helpful, thanks so much!! ^^
the tip of adding 1 color underneath actually helped me a ton! I watched this video awhile ago and I've been doing it ever since :) sometimes I'll add 2 or 3 colors though and then blend them, just for some variety
It helps me not worry as much about making mistakes by creating a new layer whenever I try something new. If the chance of ruining my artwork is what’s stopping me from leaving my comfort zone then *improvise, adapt, overcome.*
This is amazing advice I've been looking for this for a very long time cuz I wanna be a digital artist at 17 or 18 years old(I'm 15) but sadly I draw with pencils and paper and I'm not that rich to get fancy fine lining ink pens so I have to make do with black gel pens which sadly can't apply these tips to but it's okay I'll keep your tip in mind till I reach my goal thanks alot
Ooh that last one really helped. I've heard similar but the artist would lay down the color base first which threw me off trying to choose colors afterwards.
Tip for any traditional artists: I am a traditional artist myself, and alot of people think you can't lighten you sketch, or change the sketch color. What you can do to fix this is to go over the sketch with an eraser, so you can see it just enough to go over, and to change the color you can go over with a colored pencil however, go over the sketch lightly as otherwise, the sketch will show through. Hope this helped all of my fellow artists :)
This was really helpful! I'm more used to traditional mediums and am trying to convert to more digital art. Coloring and line art looking really off is a real problem I've been having with my digital art these were Great tips!
imo its also fine to just colour the sketch without the lineart, sometimes the extra lines you might leave out of cleaner lineart add movement or volume to the image, and the lineart is basically just a cleaner sketch anyway. some of the coolest art ive seen has been stuff where they fully left the guideshapes visible and everything, and just went ham on the colouring
Omg your a life saver!! This happens all the time for me. And idk about everyone else but sometimes when I keep hating my final product, I end up having art block *cough* like I do now *cough* Tysm!!
Those sketchy lines you make cause it to look more like there is movement and vividness. And putting colors where they glow in unison just makes it all more vibrant and soul like, causing the viewer to be more absorbed and making the emotion more conveying.
Thank you for the tips! I'm planning on getting a tablet soon and try digital art so your tips really help! You are great at explaining art tips and you give helpful tips as well! Thank you again!
That singular color underneath to unify the color palette is so simple and yet so GOOD. Why did I never think of that before? Palettes are gone forever thats incredible
I’ve stopped even doing a lineart layer, I just cleanup my sketch layer and color under that. I usually shade before I color too it’s really satisfying to add color with the shading visible.
Y’know this actually really helps. I like my sketches, but seeing most digital artworks and artist I follow always made me feel like I HAD to have clean lines. It feels relieving to have another artist I follow say you don’t 😆❤️
Quick beginners tip: don’t always shade by just using darker value, if you want a warm look try moving near the colors around the one your using on the color wheel it help me a lot

"And then slightly lower the opacity"
Me, a traditional artist: *Guess I'll die*
wheeze
kneaded eraser time I guess???
I have a tip :)
Lightly go over your work with a colored pencil with a bright color of your choosing!
Uhh, watercolor wash then color with copics when it dries? Could work, maybe. You'll need to use paper made for watercolor to begin with tho.
Tear the paper in half height wise (the really thin part of the paper). That will lower the opacity by 50%!
I wonder if you could brush it with really really dilute watercolors????
That's actually really interesting. One time when doing a commission, I made a sketch for the "rough draft" of the design, and I show them. They really liked the sketch. But it was just an idea, so when I did the outline, it was in a completely different style. I was trying to go for more corporate look, but they said they liked the sketch.

*When the sketch is better than the final line artwork:*
It's always like that in my drawing lmao, that's why i never do linearts again
This is why I barely do lineart anymore lol

POV: you’re an artist who works on paper-
I remember when i first figured out that line art didnt need to be perfect and all cleaned up
my love for art skyrocketed haha
Yesss me too!
same!
I need to learn that lmao. I'm such a perfectionist so I came to hate line art. I never finished my actual art because of that smh
i just love the roughness of sketches and the fact that there is no finality to it it’s like there’s a spiritual freedom to the sketch
The opacity one you said is a stroke of genius in my eyes. I’ve never seen it mentioned before, but it seems so valuable as a digital artist
For traditional art I usually use a prismacolour pencil to to line art after the sketch as it keeps most of the oringle sketch unlike fineliners
The unifying overlay part is definitely new information for me! Thank you, I'll be sure to try it the next time I'm on my tablet!

the tip of adding 1 color underneath actually helped me a ton! I watched this video awhile ago and I've been doing it ever since :) sometimes I'll add 2 or 3 colors though and then blend them, just for some variety
It helps me not worry as much about making mistakes by creating a new layer whenever I try something new. If the chance of ruining my artwork is what’s stopping me from leaving my comfort zone then *improvise, adapt, overcome.*
This is amazing advice I've been looking for this for a very long time cuz I wanna be a digital artist at 17 or 18 years old(I'm 15) but sadly I draw with pencils and paper and I'm not that rich to get fancy fine lining ink pens so I have to make do with black gel pens which sadly can't apply these tips to but it's okay I'll keep your tip in mind till I reach my goal thanks alot
Thank you so much for the tip, I tend to like my sketch then the final outline. 😁
Ooh that last one really helped. I've heard similar but the artist would lay down the color base first which threw me off trying to choose colors afterwards.
Tip for any traditional artists: I am a traditional artist myself, and alot of people think you can't lighten you sketch, or change the sketch color. What you can do to fix this is to go over the sketch with an eraser, so you can see it just enough to go over, and to change the color you can go over with a colored pencil however, go over the sketch lightly as otherwise, the sketch will show through. Hope this helped all of my fellow artists :)
thank you! im using these tips rn and looks like a drawing from someone else, it really works!
You’re a lifesaver, my drawings haven’t been looking good lately and I feel like this is going to help
these tips were GAME CHANGERS for me, thank you so much
This was really helpful! I'm more used to traditional mediums and am trying to convert to more digital art. Coloring and line art looking really off is a real problem I've been having with my digital art these were Great tips!
imo its also fine to just colour the sketch without the lineart, sometimes the extra lines you might leave out of cleaner lineart add movement or volume to the image, and the lineart is basically just a cleaner sketch anyway. some of the coolest art ive seen has been stuff where they fully left the guideshapes visible and everything, and just went ham on the colouring
Omg your a life saver!! This happens all the time for me. And idk about everyone else but sometimes when I keep hating my final product, I end up having art block *cough* like I do now *cough* Tysm!!
I entirely agree with the sketchy final lineart part! thats just a part of my art style, my finals have a slight sketchy look still to them
The layering of another colour underneath was a true mindblown moment for me
Yay I'm early for once
samee
Can you do a tut on how to draw people In different poses-?
These are some really good tips 👌
Thank you 🙏
Those sketchy lines you make cause it to look more like there is movement and vividness. And putting colors where they glow in unison just makes it all more vibrant and soul like, causing the viewer to be more absorbed and making the emotion more conveying.
Thank you for the tips!
I'm planning on getting a tablet soon and try digital art so your tips really help! You are great at explaining art tips and you give helpful tips as well! Thank you again!
wow this relay helps, I have never seen this advise before.😮😀
thank you for two likes
That singular color underneath to unify the color palette is so simple and yet so GOOD. Why did I never think of that before? Palettes are gone forever thats incredible
That tip about using the colour layer under all of the actual colours is a really cool one. I might have to start trying that!
Me drawing on a piece of paper:
"Guess I'll just pass away"
え、絵柄凄い好きなんですが…
これだから海外の方々は…！
大好きなんですよぉ！！！！！
Absolutely life saving!! Thank you!!
I would also recommend keeping your lines very loose and trying to do them in one line, that way it looks nicer and natural
Ooh thank you i love to draw Anime Arts but i will try this!!!
I often see people judging sketchy line arts while, in reality, it's not a bad thing.
I’ve stopped even doing a lineart layer, I just cleanup my sketch layer and color under that.
I usually shade before I color too it’s really satisfying to add color with the shading visible.
Such a wonderous difference ❤
i do this now because of this video! my line art looks 10x better now because it has that detail in it. thank you!
Y’know this actually really helps. I like my sketches, but seeing most digital artworks and artist I follow always made me feel like I HAD to have clean lines. It feels relieving to have another artist I follow say you don’t 😆❤️
I don't think you understand how helpful this is. Tysm.
The color tip is actually genius!! Thank YOUU!!💜💜
Quick beginners tip: don’t always shade by just using darker value, if you want a warm look try moving near the colors around the one your using on the color wheel it help me a lot
