Hates color and loves lineart? FINALLY! I'm not a alone! I have found one of my people. The amount of times I've heard people say that coloring was their favorite part of the process when I have always found it the most boring and tedious part of it all, always made my mind boggle. Line art and inking techniques are the most fun and interesting part to me.
i agree, except i am awful at both and that deprives me from the fun of it. (cant pick good color harmonies and cant draw smooth lines, it always ends up on the messy side because i didnt learn anatomy that well...)
I find it offensively distracting. Multitasking when doing art is very detrimental. You might see playing a game as taking a break, but the truth is that it'll permanently affect your focus and energy span for the rest of the day. I think doctor K and Marc Brunet have talked about this.
oh i'm so happy to know another artist who feel the same way about lineart! the hate campaign against lineart recently is something i truly feel is undeserved 🥺
You should check out Heo SungMoo's art, and TB Choi's Basically if people are good enough, or insanely good level like the artists mentioned above then there'll not be any complain, if they do, that's just anti-society hate lol
You say that you are stupid for not using reference, but I look at it as sheer genius for being able to pull through an Armor design like that without looking up anything.😮
@@_sn0wbl00d that just doesn't make sense at all. Basically every professional artists use reference. Even Gi himself did.... it has nothing to do with being an expert or not. Especially since so many beginners do not use reference
I feel you here. I like sketchy styles by some artists with not only imperfect lineart or coloring but even sometimes with imperfect anatomy... but I have to try so hard to stop myself from perfecting my own pieces on all stages. Still can't bring myself to like my own scrible-like takes while loving some other's scrible-like pieces, it's actually so hard to make appealing 'rough' pieces haha.
The notes for the different art terminology used throughout the video were really nice! As someone who’s pretty bad at remembering what different terms can refer to I appreciate the effort that would’ve went into including them : ›
It's legit such a great thing that pikat decided to do TH-cam as well now, I love her content and her art, legit one of the artists I admire and hope to be able to get to that level aswell. I will be looking forward for more content 😊
Discovered you channel just recently. Your art is awsome, and as an artist myself, I do relate to a lot of struggles that you talk about! Especially the struggle of feeling that you draw WAY too slowly, when looking at how other artists do just fine without a sketch. Your words actually made me realise that, yeah, I shouldn't go too hard on myself and just speedrun a drawing. In the end of the day, for me, it's all about the fun of creating! We're not speedrunners, we're artists, and as any skill goes, we should take our sweet time to grow and learn. Thank you for your content, keep it up! Your art (and, ofc, your YT channel) deserves attention!!
This was a really good video and an incredible drawing ❤ Regarding the Kim Jung Gi approach I’ve definitely fallen into that before, but I found it really enjoyable when I was able to get a decent result out of it so my approach became limited construction. I’ll draw out the guidelines I need for things I don’t understand / can’t recall well such as the perspective of the arm in certain poses and more so free hand the other elements I do understand / can recall better. It keeps the drawing process fun while also making sure each element is well drawn since visually drawing out the elements I don’t understand helps me fix it more accurately
I do music as a hobby and holy shit it's so relatable, reworking the draft over and over again until the base structure is set and good, then refining to completion and re-recording and editing stuff just takes forever. Some of the drafts stayed unfinished and forgotten for a few years before I returned back to them with new skills and motivation. I'm still figuring out how to be more productive, but I think I finally accepted how slow things go. I'm glad I found this channel! The videos are insightful and entertaining.
Watching the process of other artists help me a bunch. And when I saw the thumbnail with all of the hatching I was really really interested. It's beautiful and I want to learn it. Seeing this art of Heather is inspiring!! Thank you
Loved the drawing. I'm not personally a fan of inking but I admire people who can do it. My brain also sucks at colour so I love sketches and inked pieces the most. Thanks!
This actually sounds like a fun exercise. I've always wanted to try my hand at creative solutions to not being able to use shading and color, like halftoning and specific brushes and pens. Sounds rlly cool ngl.
Girl I love you and your style. I've been struggling to paint since I got a new job, and have been trying to work up the energy to take out a canvas but you're helping pull me out of it
Because you asked, just wanna say that your art is gorgeous! Always find it interesting that other artists will have such a different process and find different parts of it engaging. I admire your patience for all that hatching because I cannot sit still and fill in details for too long lest the madness take hold... While I'm here, wanna say your art critique is super refreshing and it's nice to see someone making videos who is polite and incredibly respectful towards other people's artistic visions. Also, your technical skills are amazing! I admit, I think I have a taste that doesn't quite align with yours, so not every piece of art jumps out at me, but you're incredibly skilled at your craft and it shows through your artwork as well as through your explanations. I kind of put off watching your videos because I've been kind of worn out by other artist TH-camrs who are more theatrical, but the way you present yourself feels both enthusiastic while being mature and that's just the right kind of energy I feel I've been sorely missing. Please keep making videos for as long as it makes you happy.
Gonna leave a heartfelt one for algorithm 'n' love of your work ❤ It is incredible and inspiring that you were able to make such a drawing without references. Personally my art devolves into caveman etchings without one. From my experience starting out out in art I learned two things quickly; 1) Take your time. I once thought that the measure of a good artist is the ability to crap out perfect sketches at light speed. Instead I just applied knee crowbars to my drawings by rushing. 2) USE REFERENCES PLEASE BURN EYE HOLES INTO YOUR REFERENCE. Being able to draw this well without a reference is an awesome display of experience and well-developed fundamentals. Keep it up skibidi toilet miku woman.
I love Heather's design (and name, especially because of its origins)! The resignation in deciding to go ahead and add what you were hoping to avoid all along is entirely too relatable. XD
the videos at the bottom left are really giving me subway surfers minecraft AITA tiktoks... i love it instead of sketching, i will sometimes do a sketch and then clean it up, instead of doing lineart ...
The hands being a problem for future you had me nearly spit out my drink, because I tend to do that too. "Hard? Well, do I have a surprise for you, future me!"
I'm a 3d/cg artist now, you reminded me when I was young the only tool I used to draw was a ballpoint pen because I hated the look of cheap school pencils. Every drawing was pretty much yolo specially since I have always hated doing the same thing over and over.
The last minute chicken wings commentary was wilddddd. I cannot unseee. From beautiful biblically accurate angel to with a body to bald to bald chicken wings TT_TT HEATHERRR IM SORRYYY
I just came back to drawing after two years of art block and laziness. Hopefully this time I actually get better. And this channel popped up. My art style is monochrome type cuz color is stupid(I'm bad at colors) And I love the final output, this is similar to what I want to achieve
Drawing with imagination is another muscle to grow, that is coming from drawing from reference. It is true, once you draw with observation you now have basic memory library now to be kept for next usage.
I cant wait for you to stop doubting yourself and to see you flourish even more. Never say you cant learn something. The doubt you plant is yours to reap. You got this if you believe in yourself!
I am instantly endeared to your style and way of explanation, and per very recent video agree about AI art ^^:; Thank you kindly for these and more, I am returning to art with urgency after a decade of casual practice and a couple years hiatus sorting life events.
Honsetly learned a lot from this video, very interesting process all in all! I looove color and not that good at grayscale and hatching/lineart even thought I know working on my values would improove my coloring as well, the colors are just too tempting and I even end up doing my studies in color and don't really practice with just values/back and white OTL
I think I fidn your channel about commissions and I was struggling with some other channel that were talking too fast (I'm 36, so old), but I like the way you handle it and make it funny
i absolutely have the issue where i avoid doing sketch layers and taking my time, but not for any other reason than im just impatient asf and need new visual stimulation or i get bored and jump over to the next drawing oop straight to lineart 90% of the time and I'm probably worse for it lmao
damn, so cool, i love that. I hate coloring too, as a child I always drew with a pen during school lessons and that thing got back to me a bit, I really tried to start colouring, but I can't, the pen always calls me back, so... "TEAM PEN ONLY"
I always struggle with tiny details knowing that you're not to zoom in a lot, I either zoom in or not do them at all T^T but with "Fake details" I may not have to worry as much. I'll definitely give it a try thanks :D
Ah yes, I too have a Very Logical Method to my drawing. Suuuuuuper thought out and based on composition and speed... not at all based on what I wanna draw and dont wanna draw.
I love how you’re just watching the most random stuff while drawing this 😭💀
Fr
Hates color and loves lineart?
FINALLY! I'm not a alone! I have found one of my people. The amount of times I've heard people say that coloring was their favorite part of the process when I have always found it the most boring and tedious part of it all, always made my mind boggle. Line art and inking techniques are the most fun and interesting part to me.
As a traditional artist I feel redeemed. For the time being, I don't have access to colouring tools so I learnt to love inking and hatching hahaha
@@canoa223yessss i am a traditional artist but when i try to do digital i get so frustrated with coloring and blending its awful
im here, im with you
Same I don't like coloring that much either
i agree, except i am awful at both and that deprives me from the fun of it. (cant pick good color harmonies and cant draw smooth lines, it always ends up on the messy side because i didnt learn anatomy that well...)
I love how the adhd attention spliting footage can still be seen in the corner lmao
also great art and awesome tips :3
I asked her on stream and she replied it had a tangible effect on viewer retention.
@@soysource3218 I guess beem still has a point then...

Here here, lineart is the best!
i mean i don't hate it, but very often lineart just ruins my artstyle
You say that you are stupid for not using reference, but I look at it as sheer genius for being able to pull through an Armor design like that without looking up anything.😮
yeah. drawing without reference to me, means the person is an expert at what they are drawing, or just know what they're doing
It's called memory, everything is stored in your brain, you just can't always remember it consciously
@@zappers8027 yeah. i also want to mention that as people keep drawing the same subject, they'll get used to it, and eventually master drawing it.
@@_sn0wbl00d that just doesn't make sense at all. Basically every professional artists use reference. Even Gi himself did.... it has nothing to do with being an expert or not. Especially since so many beginners do not use reference

Love the feathers, the lines on them really make it interesting to look at.
Me as an traditional artist with only a pen and cheap paper as my material:
I have no such weakness.
I honestly cannot imagine going through that whole process without looking at a reference. Really impressive
The notes for the different art terminology used throughout the video were really nice! As someone who’s pretty bad at remembering what different terms can refer to I appreciate the effort that would’ve went into including them : ›
The use of shapes in your iilustrations is extraordinary!! Thank you for the video 🥺

Great art tips but also your video editing is so engaging and I’m never bored watching your videos - keep it up! 👍🏻
I love how it has both shading and color
Watching the process of other artists help me a bunch. And when I saw the thumbnail with all of the hatching I was really really interested. It's beautiful and I want to learn it. Seeing this art of Heather is inspiring!! Thank you
The artwork is wonderful and I especially love the detail put into the individual wings, with the hatching! n_n

the art piece is absolute BONKERS, hatching looks so good too and the char is cool
Your art is awesome, and you, yourself, are an inspiration for me as an artist fr fr
Really enjoyed this video can't wait for more!!
Girl I love you and your style. I've been struggling to paint since I got a new job, and have been trying to work up the energy to take out a canvas but you're helping pull me out of it
you're a beast for that lineart
Loved everything about this, from the video format to your art style- Definitely an inspiration for me! Thank youuu 💚
Hell yeah I love seeing more Heather always

YOU'RE MY GOAT!!!! i love the drawing and the thought process. slow sometimes is truly efficient.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

I LOVED WATCHING THE PROCESS AND THE FINAL PIECE IS LOVELY
watching you while working on art is so relaxing
I love your stories it motivates me and your rig. Seeing something thats 2D move in a 3 dimensional way is interesting.
I’ve just been binging your vids while practicing anatomy
You're right drawing from imagination is way more fun than using references. Like piecing a puzzle
it looked lovely by the end. a winged warrior. brings me back to Claymore the anime
as a full time lineart hater watching the cheer amount of lines you drew is impresive in a horrifying way
NO COLOR
NO SHADING
NO REFERENCE
NO BULLSHIT
NO BITCHES
i liked the drawing, very detailed, it looks like those museum paintings
the videos at the bottom left are really giving me subway surfers minecraft AITA tiktoks... i love it
instead of sketching, i will sometimes do a sketch and then clean it up, instead of doing lineart ...
such a perfect video
The hands being a problem for future you had me nearly spit out my drink, because I tend to do that too. "Hard? Well, do I have a surprise for you, future me!"
I really love the manga look it has with the lines and grey values!!
15:33 the blink sound effect after such a random comment its perfect.
I love it, thanks for inspiration
Can just I say that I like the avatar in bottom right corner. It's very charming and cute🤗, also the illustration looks pretty dope 👌
so cool!
1:15 Minecraft Story Mode lookin ahh smile 💀💀💀
wait why are you right
love the background music paired with the voice over!
Dude you’re awesome! I’m surprised you showed up on my TH-cam I just found you on insta! Huge fan now 😊 ✌️
I really loved the way you did the hatching on this piece! Reminds me of Junji Ito's art style
I'm a 3d/cg artist now, you reminded me when I was young the only tool I used to draw was a ballpoint pen because I hated the look of cheap school pencils. Every drawing was pretty much yolo specially since I have always hated doing the same thing over and over.
U did well on the armor
I’ve never related to someone so much 🤣 Is like I’m rolling down a hill and at some point it’s a mountain I’m rolling off. Stunning drawing 🥹✨
I loved the drawingg
Fr fr nice drawing on god no cap
Me: Great Art,
Also me: MAXIMUM Headage achieved
Loving your channel
The last minute chicken wings commentary was wilddddd. I cannot unseee. From beautiful biblically accurate angel to with a body to bald to bald chicken wings TT_TT HEATHERRR IM SORRYYY
I just came back to drawing after two years of art block and laziness. Hopefully this time I actually get better.
And this channel popped up. My art style is monochrome type cuz color is stupid(I'm bad at colors)
And I love the final output, this is similar to what I want to achieve
You know what i'm really happy we are in the same team, inking is one of the best parts of drawing (not better than thumbnailing tho)
WHAT the fact that i saw one of your drawings of heather on pinterest before but never knew who you were makes me sad hahahaha. followed right away!!
Looks amazing. Pls gimme your patience and eyes for cross-hatching. It's beautiful T_T
Drawing with imagination is another muscle to grow, that is coming from drawing from reference. It is true, once you draw with observation you now have basic memory library now to be kept for next usage.
I SAW HADES AND NEARLY DIED because ive been trying so hard to draw instead of playing it and here one of my favorite artists is playing it...
yes. Lining is my favorite part of drawing also
thanks, video was extremely relateable. I still have yet to find the fun in the simple act of drawing
I cant wait for you to stop doubting yourself and to see you flourish even more. Never say you cant learn something. The doubt you plant is yours to reap. You got this if you believe in yourself!
She looks so badass ❤

straight to lineart 90% of the time and I'm probably worse for it lmao
lmfao i just noticed ur video u watch while drawing, u are rhe video i watch while im drawing 😂😂
Great drawing!
I liked how you used a technique that someone I know used. Instead of actually drawing the actual details you used the "essence of detail"
Nice video. Personally not a huge fan of how the crinkly paper background shifts around instead of being static tho
Your really good at drawing 5 heads
Thank you)
damn, so cool, i love that.
I hate coloring too, as a child I always drew with a pen during school lessons and that thing got back to me a bit, I really tried to start colouring, but I can't, the pen always calls me back, so... "TEAM PEN ONLY"
so this is basically lesson in drawing like Kentaro Miura

reminds me of witch hat atelier... Love it :D
Very nice ^^
She's pretty!
lineart is nice imo
