I know people often think they are "cheating" at art when they do/don't do certain things, but I'd like to assure you that there is no "cheating" (unless you're stealing already created artwork and claiming it as your own). If you trace the outline of a reference photograph, your mind and muscles are retaining the memory and knowledge of the position and expression. You still have to colour the drawing. If you prefer to do line work, you are working in the way you prefer. If you like the splash paint all over the page that's your choice. Art is subjective. Art is creative and comes from the depths of our souls. Never feel you aren't good enough - you ARE. Enjoy what you create/colour.💖💖💖💖
I love to see comments like this. My fine motor skills go out the window some days. To the point that I stopped creating art around the age of 18/19. I can't tell you how helpful it has been to relearn through tracing my own images. To the point that I'm sad I missed such a huge chunk of time I could have used to continue growing and adapting to disability as an artist. I've received some ridicule for this despite the fact that I learned it from well-established artists. I think it makes some people feel threatened that other artists will get the attention they've worked hard for not doing that thing. I can see why someone might feel that way, but I could not agree with this comment more. Each artist needs to find what works best for them as an individual and sometimes "rules" need to be broken. (Of course, this is excluding claiming other's work or images as your own.)
Ehhh idk. Tracing is slippery and can lead to bad habits and cheating. But yeah I agree with the rest. Lots of non artists and beginners have this idea that your art isn’t valid or genuine if your process isn’t uphill both ways. If you’re creating an image you need to use every tool and trick in the bag to make it look as good as possible. Use stencils, rulers, masking fluid, whatever, to work smarter and not harder.
@@NATA5II it cheats no one other than yourself. i agree, tracing is really slippery and u will get a little better over time. but once u stop tracing, you’ll face the harsh reality of how good you really are
@@NATA5II Agreed I would only suggest tracing as an exercise to feel out what you are drawing before doing it yourself all over again without the aid. I have never traced myself but thinking about it now I think it could have been a usefull tool in the previously stated sense.
At first I was like "why did she smudge all that black on her forhead????" And then she used the pen to make the hair with a few strokes and the Bob Ross moment of confusion and awe kicked in
Ooooh - the brush pen almost makes your work look like a fine art graphic novel, especially since you use non-orthodox skin colors. It's very emotional and dramatic feeling!
I was taught NEVER to use White in my watercolor paintings I even saw a person thrown out of a jury-ed show because she used it in her picture and this was as mixed media became its own category! your comment of "cheating" brought this to mind. Art is just MADE I am so glad the rigid strictures have for the most part been eliminated, not everywhere, but It is so much better today! I have entered 2 of your giveaways I hope to be winner of your Art!
@iz r It's not the consistency, it's the effect. When you mix white with watercolor, regardless of brand, it turns the colour milky or cloudy. The reason everyone says not to use white is because this losses the luminous effect watercolor is know for. White is opaque and blocks the white of the paper from showing through the layers and creating that transparency that makes it look like there is a light from within. So yh. Don't use white to lighten colours, use water, UNLESS you WANT the cloudy effect.
my highschool art teacher always said the same thing 🙄 he also hated any style found in a graphic novel and made sure no one drew like that. for someone who didn’t teach and only worked on his personal exhibit art during class i always found it hilarious how he hindered a lot of students from making art.. aka his job
That's weird, because white gouache being used to fix tiny errors or pop off highlights after a picture is finished has been a pretty common practice in most art groups/communities I've been in. When I was younger, not using white in a watercolor painting was more of a 'training' method, to teach people to preserve highlights whenever possible, not a strict rule that must be followed without objection.
Amra depends on how long ago you are talking about! Even as recent as 1980 watercolor white was supposed to be the paper only. Just depends also on your instructor too! I am also glad that “rules” for many mediums are not as strict as they used to be.
I once was told by a guy that using waterbrushes to do watercolors was cheating, I had to supress the need to laugh at his face, because with art tools and supplies there is no 'cheating'; Every single one of them requires time practicing and all of them have different learning curves.
I think people like that are just lead to believe the things they are taught in art schools are rules, not a learing thing. Like in watercolors, using white is fine; but to really understand how water color works, it is better to avoid white. Same with the use of black for shading. It's ok to use it, but in learning color theory, you really shouldnt use black.
lol that’s like saying that using streamline in your digital brushes is cheating, like you still gotta draw in everything it just makes your lines straighter
Can i just say I love the style of this piece!? The way you used the ink over the watercolor is something I've been exploring for a while but this piece is so beautiful! The colors, the face, the different use of mediums! I appreciate your work, if i wasn't so broke i'd support more of your content. Congratulations on 100K and i hope you have a great day. And same to everyone reading this comment. You're great, fabulous, and everyone is an actual icon. I HOPE EVERYONE KNOWS HOW APPRECIATED YOU ARE AND LOVED!!!!!! Again love your work. 💚💚💚💚💚💚💚
I loved hearing your opinion on line work! I'm completely the opposite, I see lineart as a very difficult thing and definitely not something I'd use to make the piece 'better' (line work doesn't mean your work is good or not). Inktober is far far out of my comfort zone, but it's very cool to do and see what others are doing because of this.
The palette you've chosen is very similar to the "Zorn palette", which is a very popular palette for painting portraits (traditionally oil paints with a titanium white)
I really like how this turned out!! Both the colour palette and the inking 💜 As a comic artist, I've been using a pentel brush pen for years, for inking my pages. I still suck at inking and I still think my "best" comic book is the one where I used just pencils and watercolours.
First video of yours that I have ever watched. I dont care I saw the thumbnail and clicked in the video just to subscribe to you. Only saw a part if your art work and instantly in a single second I fell in love.
Great art, I enjoyed watching this one come together, the inkwork definitely adds something great to a piece of art. For a large part of my work I used to draw, then ink first and then colour, but there is just so much energy to a drawing when you colour first and then ink last, it brings it all together and it's a great way of working.
Love the piece in this video! I definitely relate to what you said about line art. I try my best not to use it these days unless it was my initial intention when starting a drawing. I want to use my watercolor to their full potential when practicing, but it's good to let that pressure go sometimes too.
This looks awesome I like how the dark line work brings out the soft skin tone.. also just random I have that mechanical pencil in the begining its the best
omg i didnt expect such a drastic change :OOO so boooold :OOO i was expecting just minimal ink but damn you went all out and did a 180 with my feels xD i really admire how experimental you are 😍😍😍
i love the way you use your brush pen, i only use mine for inktober as well and i find the same improvement; i have a similar experience when i use to do a watercolor painting i thought you couldn't use any other media to finish like color pencils or anything else cuz it was cheating...
This is beautiful, I love the style! I've felt the same way about using line work to cover mistakes for a long time but now I definitely want to try doing something like this.
Nah, rules are all lies! Commit art crimes! SMASH THE STATE!!! You mentioned that you’ve been refilling that one so I don’t know if it’s still with the pentel ink, but that’s one of my favorite brush pens! It’s actually TECHNICALLY the winner of my ultimate brush pen showdown video series, but it got dethroned by a controversial upset!!! Ohhhhhh!!! Love the way your scribble sketchy rough loose inking style looks with your also somewhat loose water coloring. Definitely a cool pairing, and I can see those comic influences in it! But yeah, doing a whole comic is hard. =x.x=
So great to hear from you, Kat!! I hope you're doing well. :D Yeah, I really love this brush pen!! The ink that's in it now is Carbon Black by Platinum, I think? ♥♥♥
arleebean ooooooh, interesting. I’ve heard good things about the carbon black ink, but I’ve personally had a confused experience with it. It’s supposedly a waterproof fountain pen ink, but the one pen I have with it inside totally smudged in water after dried! Everyone else says that’s weird and wrong and I must have a dud. Anyway, the original ink of the pen is decent, but if you put it down BEFORE the watercolor, there’s a bizarre effect of the pen where it slightly rejects the pigment and you’ll often get the thinnest of white-ish lines between the black ink and watercolor. I’m wondering if the carbon black ink is better. I’ve been using this pen a lot lately, and it also looks like your substitution flows slightly more jucily, which I like! Anyway, I try to stop by when I can but TH-cam’s convinced all I want to watch are “On the Road” segments and cooking videos. =>.>= it’s not wrong. =>.
At 5:54, I thought you just ruined the nice watercolor... but I realized later that you are a deceptive master. How beautifully you came to a conclusion.
Speaking of working with brushes, I realized this applies to A LOT of things like I paint nails better and cleaner now, and I also have pretty decent and consistent eyeliner using a brush type liner, etc.
I'm doing Inktober for the first time and I've grown really fond of the Tombow Fudenosuke pen. I guess it's a calligraphy pen with the little short felt brush nib? It feels like having a bunch of different sized fine liners in one pen. It's great.
:o Bless you! I couldn't help but giggle a little at that, I love those little quirks in your videos, hehe. I hope you get better soon! The piece turned out so beautiful even before you added the brush pen, but the brush pen does add that little extra something! I adore your artwork and I adore watching the process, it really teaches me how to create my own artwork. Thank you for being you
I own some zigs, but found them to be to changeging when wet vs dry. Am Hugely loving the tombows. Always loved my microns I used to outline anything with my micron,dont take my micron,or I will haunt you :P the inktense pencils and inktense blocks just about stole my heart wich I use for cardmaking and sketchbooks,rather then a full painting bc derwent,however much I like them,does not have a lightfast rating on the inktense or the blocks,jaiks. Then again I dont frame a sketchbook and people usually dont save cards that long. But for gift sets i do use lightfast paints.
First of all, I absolutely love this piece, I love the look of this style and it works really well for this painting. . .. ... But please tell me I am not the only one who was struggling with there being no line inbetween the fingers for the shoulder/arm. Love your art though, you always inspire me so much with how loose and free but still incredibly controlled your paintings are. Love love love it!
It seems the glass you are using to make paints was scratched up some with sandpaper but has a lot of small areas that are smooth and clear. I found that using "Permatex 80037 Valve Grinding Compound, 3 oz." from Amazon worked wonders at producing a frosted glass surface. I have a 20" x 16" piece of glass and left a 1" border of clear glass, but the rest is very nicely frosted. The compound has 220, 180, 150, and 120 grit inside. When you use the Muller it will eventually break it all down to 220 grit and leave a very nice surface. I would think this would speed up the process when using your Muller on paints you are making.
For me there is no wrong way to do art unless if you steal other people's art but that's common knowledge on what not to do doesn't matter if you trace your refference or not art is about having fun and being creative with your creation
Peerless, I've asked them for their lightfastness ratings a few times but they haven't responded, someone told me that they were going to look into the color I asked about. I have a ton of them and it's such a neat product.
Entered your giveaway ! I’d love to share this with my younger sister in law who’s getting into art. I find watercolor so soothing when I’m feeling depressed. She’s into digital art at the moment but I’ll see if she’ll try out watercolor and show your channel to her
You inspire me a lot to go back to watercolor. I got so used to gouache that it’s hard for me to go back to something transparent but it’s so beautiful that way you do it. I really want to go back to how I started but it’s hard for me to do these layering techniques without it looking muddy. Any advice?
Love this piece! Also, I love the point you bring up about line art sometimes being a way to get around building up value and form in art. I've always wondered why my sketches (all line art) look better than my finished paintings (no line art or limited line art), lol. Guess it's time to buckle down on fundamentals! ... Thought really, I guess it's ALWAYS time to buckle down on fundamentals for me 😂
if you ever start feeling like linework is cheating again, i challenge you to go look at some of the cross stitch forums and see if you can find examples of a piece before and after backstitching is added.
I’m currently having the same problem right now. I recently purchased a brush pen from Michaels in hopes I’d spice up my art a little, but inking my art feels like I’m not a “true artist” if I use it to define my art. The only way I was able to compromise with myself is to just part before I do the line work to get the values on paper first
I know people often think they are "cheating" at art when they do/don't do certain things, but I'd like to assure you that there is no "cheating" (unless you're stealing already created artwork and claiming it as your own).
If you trace the outline of a reference photograph, your mind and muscles are retaining the memory and knowledge of the position and expression. You still have to colour the drawing.

The best part is that Arleesha actually got into art because she wanted to make a web series :D
Agreeee, it's so eye-catching

Another beautiful piece. So many opportunities to mess up with the black ink but you pulled it off effortlessly.
Beautiful. This painting reminds me of the work of Dave McKean’s work on Black Orchid.
Great video.
Great quality.
Great watercolors.
But can we talk about how amazing this piece turned out! It's my new favorite
The way you use the brush is so mesmerizing idk what it is but it’s just so smooth and organic

You inspire me a lot to go back to watercolor. I got so used to gouache that it’s hard for me to go back to something transparent but it’s so beautiful that way you do it. I really want to go back to how I started but it’s hard for me to do these layering techniques without it looking muddy. Any advice?
Wow beautiful painting!!
This is so beautiful! It makes me feel like I'm reading a very beautiful graphic novel come to life
What a beautiful piece
Awesome painting
It gives me sandman comic vibes i love it!
Love this piece! Also, I love the point you bring up about line art sometimes being a way to get around building up value and form in art. I've always wondered why my sketches (all line art) look better than my finished paintings (no line art or limited line art), lol. Guess it's time to buckle down on fundamentals!
... Thought really, I guess it's ALWAYS time to buckle down on fundamentals for me 😂
I thought she said 40 piece boneless pack
Person in video goes “aaaahhhhhcchoo” me “ bless you” 🤦🏽♀️
nice work, nice lighting.
if you ever start feeling like linework is cheating again, i challenge you to go look at some of the cross stitch forums and see if you can find examples of a piece before and after backstitching is added.
Beautiful as always. ❤️
Because I come from a drawing background rather than painting, I do this a lot. I tend to think of as illustration rather than painting.
i'm really loving the ink work here. it kinda reminds me of emma rios' work
This was awesome 👌. Great inspiration
I’m currently having the same problem right now. I recently purchased a brush pen from Michaels in hopes I’d spice up my art a little, but inking my art feels like I’m not a “true artist” if I use it to define my art. The only way I was able to compromise with myself is to just part before I do the line work to get the values on paper first
Wow these are beautiful and look so fun to paint with!
Wow just discovered you Girl.Bless you. How wonderful to see your drawings in sticker version. Well done congratulations on your success. Peace.
