Happy new year everyone! Do you wanna see more digital art videos?👀❤️
Happy New Year, Temi! And yes, of course!
It’s 11:00 pm for me!
YES PLEASE!
Omg! Love u! Also, happy new year Dhritis doodle dreamwork!
Happy new year Temi! We'd love to see more please
As an artist that does mainly digital art, I will say that the main thing that makes it more... difficult... would be getting used to the digital tools themselves. adjusting how you coordinate your hands, the amount of pressure you use when drawing/shading, and for someone like me who uses a laptop + graphics tablet rather than an iPad, you have to train yourself to be efficient with keyboard shortcuts to switch between tools.
However, once you get through that learning curve, digital art makes artmaking so much more EFFICIENT! I prefer the word efficient rather than “easy” because easy implies that you need less skill to make art digitally. However any professional artist who does digital illustrations, or concept art for movies and video games will tell you that digital shortcuts and tools can only take you so far. You still need to have good understanding of proportions, values, and other traditional art skills in order to make a good digital portrait for example. But digital art does make things so much more efficient. Perspective drawing for example, is made so much easier with digital tools. There’s the glorified undo button we all know, and color picking! I’m not offended when people say digital art is “easy”, but rather Im afraid that new artists will be misleaded into thinking the computer or tablet does all the work for you. You still need a solid understanding of traditional drawing and artmaking skills if you want to be good at digital art! I still make sure to draw traditionally from time to time for practice :)
Love this.
Agree. Well said 👍🏾
So true.
Efficient is such an appropriate word here.
❣️
Honestly on the whole 'digital is easier or cheating' thing I think digital is more efficient. Not necessarily easy because easy means you need less skill ( and trust me blending gets very hard very quick even on digital) but efficient. This is coming from someone who does both traditional (painting) and digital
THIS
I do think digital art does have it’s advantages such as being able to use any colour, layers, undo ect. Though for me traditional is still easier
Exactly!
I can draw sketches (irl) and digital art too
"more efficient" that's it. That's the correct phrase to use. I really hate the whole "digital art is easier" thing just coz you have all your tools on a device. Just bcoz it's convenient doesn't mean it's easy
@@emiroy710 yeah
Yes, there is a way to select Color’s with a pencil. You go to the wrench button on the left, then prefs, then gesture controls, then eye dropper, and you can choose which action you want to preform to pull it up. Hope this helps!
I recently learned how to do that and it’s probably MUCH easier if you have a long/fake nails.
I can't remember if I had to program this in, or if it was a default action, but mine is set up so that when you tap the little square between the size/opacity sliders on the left, it pulls up the eyedropper tool, and it's SUPER handy! I think you can also long hold the pencil to do the same but I might also have had to map that in!
@@NakiaPickering yeah you can do it with the square thing. I prefer the finger hold. I don’t honk you can long hold the pencil, but you can set it to double tap.
You can also go to the little square between the opacity and size toggles and drag around the little colour dropper it is much easier
Omg! Ty! I’ve been wondering and looking for a video like this for so long!
Digital art is like learning a whole new skill, I still sometimes struggle when doing digital art.
Same, I can draw way better traditional
With me I struggle with both,I shade better with digital and I draw smoother with digital,but with traditional I draw faster and get my proportions a bit. Better
That's the main reason why I got an iPad and an Apple pencil. Trying to use one of those drawing tablets on my PC proved to be a pain in the ass for me
@@esmooth919 I also use the same combo, mostly for scrolling through yt tho haha
@@ninjakiwigames5418 same
Digital art is easier in the sense that you get the convenience of separate layers, but it's much harder in the sense that you have to relearn certain skills all over and it's harder to achieve textures. (At least for me. Texture is so intuitive and fun with traditional art but whenever I try to achieve certain textures digitally I STRUGGLE 😭)
texture is so hard😭. I've recently been painting traditionally and it's so much easier to get texture like wtf
Brush dont work the same in real life HAHA
Facts!
I thought I was the only one..
@@hi-rw4nl It's so hard too but it's not hard to me drawing digitaly since I redrawing my art in all layers sorting correctly
As someone who does both digital and traditional art, well done! I know it’s really hard (and kinda nerve-wracking) to move out of your comfort zone, especially into a new medium, and I think you did really well!
Agreed
As a digital artist since 2007, as the years have gone by I have a greater appreciation for traditional art. Because of you I have decided to invest in some budget materials and get back to sketching, colouring, painting. I wouldn't tell anyone to rule out digital, but don't lose yourself to it.
Unfortunately it's hard not to lose yourself to it, especially if you're an art student.
I'm in my junior year and I'm a 3D arts major, not even an illustrator or painter, and they're all but demanding students learn digital art since it's the new industry standard just bc it's efficient and convenient.
It sucks! Really badly!!
There is an artist here on youtube called "Billy not Bully". He does realistic portraits, and posts the timelapse in his channel. It might be helpful to you, to know his process, techniques, brushes and all. He also uses procreate. Good luck on your journey to learn digital medium!
One thing about traditional artists moving to digital is how they treat digital art exactly how they do traditional. It’s not the same and you need to treat it like a new medium. When doing digital realism, it’s best to use digital painting. When drawing with pencil crayons, markers, or pastels this would be how you do it but it doesn’t come out too well when you apply the same logic to digital. In digital you want to be using lots of base colors, so colluding the entire hand first and painting the darkest areas. Then you can make a new layer above your sketch/lineart and render the drawing and all the details.
Digital art is definitely one of the highest things on my 'to improve' list for 2022 🥰
Oooo good luck with that!
This is making me sad I didn’t have procreate when I started out with digital lol
I recently tried it on a friends iPad and the interface and tools are so smooth that it makes things so much more approachable, and it’s great! I made the mistake of starting to learn digital on a full drawing program (think Krita, photoshop, etc.) and oh my gosh it was overwhelming. I did end up figuring it out but it didn’t have a lot of good brushes so I had to figure out how to make them and then figure out lighting and oh man what a learning curve.
Lol yep, I've been doing digital art since 2003.... imagine what I've had to deal with lol! You kids are very lucky these days.
@@dreamrabbits5072 dang that sounds even more challenging! It’s pretty cool how far programs have developed
I started digital art before doing traditional art and it is frustrating, there are pros and cons on both. It's just sometimes frustrating cause my digital art is infinitely better than my trad, and I want to improve on both, without having one stagnant.
@@dreamrabbits5072 2003 was the era where us 'non-tablet' kids use mouse lol
I started on MediBang Paint on my computer. It wasn’t terrible, but once I got my iPad I fell in love with digital art. It’s so much more natural to be able to draw on the screen and not be chained to my computer. Now I can’t believe there was ever a time when I hated digital art.
I think it honestly depends on what you're talking about. Because let's say with rough sketches I think digital is easier than traditional because you can erase as much as you want without ruining it because you can use more layers, and with layers you also cant ruin the coloring but if it was traditional, chances are the entire drawing is ruined. So honestly there are pros and cons to both😅
I do both, usually traditional because I’m not always able to use my iPad. Traditional is a great feel, and digital is definitely different. I had a hard time getting started with digital, but I found the benefits really nice, and I use digital for planning/putting things down. Nice digital painting tho 😁👍
I switch between the 2. Since I started graphic design I physically draw instead because I'm always at a screen doing graphics and I get so bored of it now 😅
@@kparkiart5067 ooo graphic design! I can relate at getting bored tho 😂
lettering is so fun and easy to do digitally because you get a new dimension of control over the brush, it’s amazing
I'm a traditional artist but I had to go digital for my webtoon, and my GAWD!
It was waaayyyy harder than I thought 😭✋
You did soooo good !! the first time I tried it I drew a “person “ was kinda scary looking 💀 great job tho !❤️❤️❤️
😂😂😂 thank you!
I drew a realistic person too but I absolutely did not know anything about layers and all that. In the end, it still came out good tho
i can't live without my ctrl + z. with that said, i think both traditional and digital art have their own strengths and weaknesses and struggles! glad to see you gave digital and try, and hopefully we can see more beautiful pieces as you master the art! ♡ ♡
Ooo 💕digital art is definitely a different medium I think traditional and digital are very different!! I think personally they both have there difficulty’s I don’t think neither of them are easier depends on how you approach it✨
yessss. people keep calling "cheating", and act they could do the same, until they realise is a whole different medium, and that they will have to start a new journey to learn digital art.
@Lupa yea true
Digital art is not easy, but makes the process easier
@@jaydthatsme yeah, and faster
I agree, I do both digital and traditional, doing texture during digital is hard, but also doing shading with traditional has its difficulties.
yessss you still did so well I can not wait to see what beautiful masterpieces you make in the future
Tomorrow is the new year, the next level to put your art skills to the test on your new iPad. You can do this, Temi.🎉🎈
Yesss I’m so excited to practice!
Hi
I know you’re going to master this Temi! Can’t wait for the tutorials! Also have a wonderful and prosperous New Year!
I could see Temi making her original character and then an original series/backstory with her characters. I’m so excited for anything. You got this Temi ❤️ and also Happy New Years. Wishing you more success, blessings, health and happiness!
Art with Flo and Tatyworks have taught me everything I know about Procreate! I'm still pretty new to it but their tutorials are basic enough that it helped me get acquainted with how the program works.
I normally stick to digital art (sometimes I use paint or pencil crayons but i like digital) so seeing one of my favorite artists and my role model attempt my favorite media really made me feel inspired. 😀
Omg it has happened.....her struggling with digital art gives me memories of my past experiences with digital art 💀
I've been stalking your channel for this video even though I had the bell on because I was so excited. 😂 I just started with procreate and digital art about a week ago. I think it's both easier and harder than traditional. Of course there's the learning curve, but I also found it really hard to decide when my piece was finished. A piece I would've normally finished in 2 hours took so much longer because I could redo and tweak it literally forever. 😂 But I also love, and got caught up in, how much more free I felt to experiment and make mistakes. All you have to do is undo or experiment on a separate layer and delete the layer if it fails. Love that freedom!
But it's no surprise that your first pice came out so good! Please do more!!
Oooooo something different!!! I'm excited!!! This vid CLEARLY shows how amazingly good you are at art 🎨😍👏
Oh yesss, I’ve been waiting for this for so longg! I’m a digital artist, and sometimes I use your videos to help me out, so I’m really happy that you gave digital a try.
By the way, if you press the square between the size of your brush and the opacity, you get the quick menu, and if you hold one of them, you get different options to select from. Cya
Wow this video was so fun and interesting!! I can't wait for more videos from you Temi!!! I don't think you understand this but YOU ARE THE BEST ARTIST EVER!! You actually give helpful videos! we love you so much 💞
The video we've ALL been waiting for. Love your videos and art Temi
ive been waiting for thiss so glad you posted lmaoo always at the right time i wanted to try digital art..love you temi!
Yess! I also have that same iPad! And the Apple Pencil is a must if u use it to take notes or art!! You did so well especially for your first time, love you temi also happy New Years!
Something very cool about procreate is the replay of your entire process! You can even save it and post it, and I think that would be super super cool to see on your channel!!
I loved this video because exactly how you reacted and experienced your iPad and Procreate is almost exactly how I did lol. I also grew up as a traditional artist and you are completely right on how things like colors and blending making the process so much faster.
I was so excited for this video!! 😁😁 I love how you drew the nails from the picture.
As a mainly digital but also traditional artist this was very interesting, I definitely struggled at first and still find new stuff about procreate but you did really well! A general thing that I like more with digital art is stream line. My shakey hands praise stream line. Also, if you go to the wand thing, you can easily blend and stuff with just a push, it’s my holy grail
As an artist that has recently gotten into digital art. I often find myself looking for some control z or double tap to undo my mistake while I am painting or drawing in my sketchbook. But I enjoy both digital and traditional and I think that your art is spectacular!
Wow, that turned out pretty good! Nice work, temi!
I love that you’re another popular Nigerian artist I can watch and be inspired by!!! You don’t understand how much it means for me to see u!!! Representation is everything!!!!
What a great video! I exclusively use digital art/procreate, but you’re one of the only traditional artists I follow on TH-cam, so it was great to see you enter my world 😂 I hope you’ll try more, even if it doesn’t become your main medium. Have a happy new year!
Thank you so much!
We NEED more digital art from Temi! I just got a drawing tablet, and I think it would be SO cool to see her make animations!
Edit: The queen noticed me!
Ooooo yessss 👀👀👀👀
what tablet did you get? and how much did it cost?
I cannot wait to see all your digital art! Eeeeee so exciting!
How did I just found you now and not way before!? I've been watching some of your videos after they came up as recommended and I totally love your channel! Wow! Think I found another favorite art TH-camr
I'm the complete opposite. After doing digital art for 15 years... I'm done with it. I can't stand it anymore. About 6 years ago I realized I love working with my hands, I got into clay and heavily into crafts. But I'm an artist at heart, so I'm going traditional now (painting, pencils, pastels etc). Whenever I do traditional art it's just so much faster for me because it's so much simpler and I can't just undo and re-do things over and over, I'm less of a perfectionist. I've always hand drawn my digital art sketches and scanned them in, I always preferred working in pencil and paper and then colouring and rendering on photoshop (I did it with a mouse for a decade!). I just couldn't afford traditional supplies, we didn't have cheap dollar store stuff back when I was a teenager and I never had money as a teen, I didn't even know anything about art supplies at the time. I always had a liking for digital art since I was a young kid, I would draw in paint and do pixel art because that was all that was available to me, my parents refused to buy me any real art supplies, all I had was pencils, and crayola and crafts. I was always a computer geek. And I mean a real desktop computer, I'm still using one now... I'm old school but I am in my 30's so, oh well..god time goes fast!
I definitely think that digital art is easier. Not easy, but easier. Which makes sense. Digital art was designed to give more options so that art can be easier. If digital art was harder than traditional art it wouldn’t be used nearly as much as it is now, especially not in professional settings 😅
But don’t be mistaken, digital art is still really tough lol 💜
I appreciate this comment. I'm mostly a digital artist and a lot of people have told me that digital art isn't hard at all and that it's cheating. Digital art is still art and it still requires skill, but I can admit that is easier in certain aspects.
I'd say digital art is easier to pick up as a medium, but harder to master
You did so good Temi. Great art
It came out really well. You might have just given me more inspiration to try out digital art. It seems so daunting honestly but starting out the way you did makes me feel better about it.
I have had my iPad for over 3 years. The idea of getting procreate has me in a room screaming. I don’t know why. Maybe the bubble thing you went through. Maybe the 3 days it took for you to come back to it. Maybe sitting through a tutorial to learn how to use it. Maybe it’s all of those things. I definitely could relate.
Recently started digital drawing and oh my gosh I completely understand why there's some tension between digital artist and traditional. I feel like I'm cheating while drawing 😅, the stabilizer, layers, extreme zoom in, etc. It's amazing but so confusing to me. Definitely prefer traditional. Love the way a real pencil feels and how the art looks.
So basically, you can use the square on the left hand side of your screen (where the size and opacity is) and then it will enable you to use the pen and drag the little circle thing that comes up so that you can use the same colour as your reference. One you press the button you will understand (you can use the pen to press the button). Anyways, that is an absolutely AMAZING piece for your first time drawing digitally!!
Thanks for showing your beginner stage of making digital art 😍
I tried digital art but i prefer traditional! Im not sure why but i do lol. There are some things i miss about digital art, like the undo button or many colors for every brush and the blur button lol.
Been waiting for this video! I do dig art and I know it’s hard, but GURLLLLL… GUURRRL! It looks so freaking GOOD!
This is my first vid of u and i love how happy u sound 😭😭
cant wait to see what u create in the future !
you can also use more traditional techniques on digital like something fun to do is using one layer like its a canvas and one brush (i suggest the pencils, a round brush and the charcoal block is rlly fun to use
also now u have access to the whole color wheel w out restriction so thats fun too
beautiful job!! personally digital is too hard and inaccessible/pricy for me but i still have to learn eventually bc school + potential jobs demand it. i’ve (somehow ) passed the requisite beginning classes, but i’m terrified at the idea of the advanced ones bc what chance do i have when all my digital work looks like someone let a 5 year old loose in ms paint 😭
If you go into the “canvas” section you can flip on the setting called ‘reference’ to either display the whole drawing or you can display the reference that you used from ur Pinterest board :>
Thought Id bring it up cause its one of my favorite tools in procreate, the piece came out great! Its awesome!!
You are literally so funny ✋🏻😭 I love you already 🤍
such a professional feel!!
her: cant colour within the lines
digital artist: neither can we lmao
✨clipping mask✨
Need to learn these hacks!

I feel the pain of the screen protector- I tried to apply one last night and it didn’t go well-
Awesome 👏 congrats on getting into digital art! I think digital art can be easy but creating original art will always come down to creativity. I try to look at digital art as just another set of tools. Keep up the great content!
Hey Temi! You should definitely do more digital art! For your first time, you were amazing!! Would love to see you do more since I want to do digital art too! And I could use as much as tutorials and tips as possible! Your awesome!
BRUH- THATS why you think digital art is cheating/easier, you’re using it as a tracing tool.
Nah nah nah- legally it IS cheating. You trace someone photo like this and sell it, they can sue you and will win. The feature exists for “sampling” as it works in music. Not tracing an entire composition.
I did this nonsense my first year in art school. The instructor sat me down and explained “fair use” and copyright to me and how it relates to art. The explained that using a crutch like this would harm my artistic progression as well as establish a reputation for “biting” other artists compositions or public domain images.
can you try ai art?
Girl, I really admire you for drawing with long ass nails like that! I bought the same iPad recently (not arrived yet), so thank you for the video.
I loved loved loved it, it really gave me more motivation to try digital art out.
Yessssss we need more digital art 😁
3 years in from traditional mixed media art , you’ve got this ☺️ let it grow ✨
I love your videos and art sm Temi
THIS IS AMAZINGG!
so good i need more digital art vids
Happy new year! What an amazing idea. I'd love to see you try different materials like ink/ calligraphy and/or a different style. Especially one that is black and white or a specific colors or like sketchy style or cubism. Just ideas! Love you work. Thank you for inspiring me.
your drawing are gorgeous!!!❤❤
It’s hard tbh but as u start to use it more it gets easier, as a artist too I was not used to this digital art I use sketch books, but you can do it! Keep the good work up!
happy new year's eve!! your digital drawing turned out so lovely, i like the rings!
Okay nice! Tackling new art medium and "hands" for the New Year !!!🤗🤗
Temi it’s actually spooky how relevant this video is to me right now what timing😯 I’ve just decided I’m getting an iPad with textured protector for my birthday and then you come out with this!
as a digital artist i love seeing these kind of videos
I love your videos Temi your such an insporation for me! 😃
The way you opened and removed everything was stressing me the hell out there’s pulltaba EVERYWHERE and you kept missing most of them hahahah
bruh u just started and your art are so good!!
I really like the glass screen protectors it's much easier to get all the bubbles out
Your so amazing, Happy New year temi!! -From Philippines♥️
I love digital art took me a little while to get used to it but so happy with the results!
Amazing! You really are amazing at it!
Love this video. I also feel your frustration putting the screen protectors on. 😆 love that your having a go at digital art. I'm still learning nyself it's so different. Amazing 1st digital piece. Looking forward to seeing what's you draw next. 😀
That is REALLY good for a first try! It honestly is just a learning curve of applying new ideas to what you know about traditional techniques! One thing most people love to get used to is the liquify tool. that thing can save you so much time when something is a little bit off and needs some correction without erasing and redrawing the whole thing 😂
That came out so good! When you said “it feels weird” I definitely get that and I’m mainly digital too! When I’m doing digital art, I find it’s really frustrating when you know how a traditional tool lays down on paper but now you have to replicate it in a way. I’m like I know how a pencil works I swear but Procreate is doing me dirty lol and I have to get comfortable with a new technique essentially.
Really like your digital art keep it up and happy new year
Omg your so pretty and beautiful !!
The frustration with screen protector and looking for undo button was hilarious. lovely work Temi!
This is why she’s my favorite art youtuber 🤩
Friend you did so good for your first tryyy! I would be so terrified to try it out lol
I'm so sorry I'm late
I have been subscribed since you've had like 50k and your channel has grown this year love that you are trying procreate live the app happy new year
i have been waiting for this video for a long time finally 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
This is so helpful because I just got iPad for Christmas and I'm doing digital art so thank you
This video was very interesting and I love when you try new things. I hope you wont stop trying. You are a incredible artist with a great talent use it well.
I’m debating on getting an iPad for digital art (coming from pencil and paper) so I would totally love a video of you circling back to give more of your thoughts on digital art and how you’re liking the iPad!!
