The blue pencil is called "Non photo blue". Comicbook and animation artists used it to sketch their work and then inked on top of it. When the page/frame was photocopied, it didn't register any blues that weren't inked over. As in it was invisible to photocopiers.
Dang it that's what I was gonna say! lol
its amazing when drawing on paper but its hard to erase
@@tikaepixwhom666 same TwT
Ahhh beat me to it, that's exactly it
Yep. And the pencils aren't to pricey and they come in a number of colours.
6:46 Artists used blue pencil back in the days because when they scanned their traditional artwork into digital form, the sketch would not show up and since then it just became a trend
I was just about to show off with my knowledge concerning the blue pencil but you did it first so I’m gonna cry in the corner of my room. Bye.
AHHHH yes finally the REAL reason. Never trust tiktok guys
Yea i learned about that when i was doing research about animation
Unfortunately (?) It's only a specific shade of blue if i remember correctly. It's called non-photo copy blue, if i recall. I might be wrong.

your art is so good 😭
@@LegitLogan124 mine?? Omg thank you 😭❤️

Your art is really pretty! :)Keep up the good work.
a better option for dried out markers is actual alcohol just pure alcohol because its an alcohol marker
I wish I would've read this before I tried it 🤦🏻♀️ didn't work for my Ohuhu marker. 😐

@@zeeshanhazari Yes, thank you. I usually don't act fast on stuff like this and I am skeptical of a lot of internet hacks/facts, but I've really wanted that marker to work for awhile now but I think it's just used up lol 😝

WARNING for the frog video!
at the beginning of my art practice, one of the biggest things that was drilled into my head was to AVOID SYMBOLS. like the contour drawing guy said, if you want to improve, you have to practice observation. that means drawing what you SEE, not what you THINK you see. we all have an image of frogs in our heads, but if you draw that it'll look nothing like the frog you want to draw. this is especially important once you move away from reference and start drawing from imagination, with a visual library made up of all the complexities of frogs that you got from studying them, rather than the symbols we all start with. then you can draw frogs from any angle, any perspective, exhaggerated, whatever. If you think "I want to draw X", and you follow a tutorial to easily draw a symbol of X, you aren't actually learning anything, and you'll never be able to draw X confidently
A great artist, Istebrak, talked about this before and it really changed the way i thought. Her example was either a duck or a tree, i don't remember but when most people picture a duck they picture a representation, a symbol rather than a duck. And reprogramming my brain to think about the actual thing like it's laying in front of me irl really changed a lot for me so i definitely agree
6:16 ; with regards to the blue pencil, i've heard that sketching in a colour that isn't black feels less 'final' so you aren't as tempted to be as precious with your sketch and it helps with productivity. that's why all my sketches are in red, blue, or baby pink. i think this tip was given in the context of digital art, but i think it works pretty well for traditional as well
It’s originally for comic artists who would ink on top, and then scan it into digital. The scanner wouldn’t pick up the blue sketch!
I for my part does it, cuz it looks cute, and makes the pages happier and brighter! Also, if you work with markers, a pink sketch does really compliment the skin tone!
@@lolziesart4599 oh that’s pretty cool! i do have vague memories of seeing comic book sketches in blue 🤔
As a traditional artist I can confirm that we eat our gouache paint
Yes!
How does it taste?
van gogh kinnie
@@user-hn4iw2ls2n It's like pudding 💖💖
@@oleanderrots The colors are different flavors 🙃
When I worked in comics we used blue and red pencils because the scanners would not pick it up. They would also be used for embossing levels , hope this helps
Why don't you guys don't want it to be scanned, is to prevent theft?
@@uncanny3637 no it just allows mistakes to be left behind before inking or putting down actual graphite
13:01 Traditional artists are more limited in the things they can do so they come up with new techniques for more freedom.
7:49 *Crying in traditional artist*
There’s a specific type of blue pencil (Same goes for red) where when the paper is scanned it doesn’t show up, so you can do a rough sketch in blue and then ink over in black and when scanned only the black will show up.
Sam is the Gordon ramsay of art
pretty much
True
Without the screaming and swearing lol
@@Abby_Doodle 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Nah Angel is the Gordon Ramsey of art
3:22 Hahaha 🤣 “I think it’s illegal to make me question my life that many times. In a 30 second video.” Lol I’m dead after that comment! 😂🤣☠️
I know that DrawingWiffWaffles uses col-erase pencils when drawing so when she uses alcohol markers over it doesn't mess with the colors. It also creates a sort of undertone with the markers that looks really nice. (This isn't blue pencil specific)
I’m a new fan and I’m already been inspired multiple times by Sam
nice

Okay but can we just appreciate Sam’s meme face in between cuts and transitions?
GOOGLED IT:
Due to the nature of the material, they smudge far, far less than a graphite pencil. This is really useful for animators who tend to “find” motion in their sketches and end up with very dense forms - especially when the drawings are passed to clean-up artists!
Sam: “What better way to spend a beautiful day watching art tip tiktoks?”
Also Sam: **face of pain**
rip sam’s sanity while making this video. it will always be missed😔
The blue pencil is for many reasons, even with other colors
1. Used for undertones
2. To get rid of harsh lines when erasing to line
3. Blue is for comic artists
4. Etc. Literally it’s for anything you can justify with
5:25 my classmate litterly just traced over a photo and said it was a reference. Then claimed that what he traced over is his art piece.
8:36 ok i just know that he was waiting for his name to be mentioned lol
that hair tutorial tip had me thinkin. "RETUUURNN THE SLAABBB!"
6:50 I use blue pencils to do a rough outline before lining the drawing because it is lighter and the mistakes can be hidden easier than black pencils
I just did a drawing with a blue pencil yesterday .... you are absolutely right !!
9:32 Samdoesart: “doesn’t brandish a weapon at people”
Me: “similar to how you don’t threaten us with tracking us down and finding us”
i was told in my architecture classes that we use blue pencil because when you scanned your projects they wouldn't be visible when you went over it with a regular pencil.
I love the skull emoji in the title. It adds emphasis.
I just discovered the powers of the mr clean eraser this month… my kids thought our walls and doors were a canvas 😂
SN- I never realized people were actually tracing others work…
12:26 i used to do that as a 6 year old 💀
sam: suffering to make we dont get trick
us: laugh at his suffering but learning the same time
7:20
I had to yell my friends about this and don't still understand, I've been doing art for 4 years and they try to compare to me and getting jealous 😅
3:59 his reaction XD
It may sound weird but contrary to the tik tok video, I learned how to draw from copying the work of others, however I did not simply trace the lines and called it a day, but put thought into it and studied how many simple strokes can create something complex looking. (YT tutorials also helped a lot)
About blue pencils: I always thought that is about clarity. Using a different color for construction lines helps to distinguish them from the final sketch over them. In addition to it I read, many many years ago (more than ten I fear so I cuold be not accurate), that blue and red were colors that early scanners could detect and not scan. So, artists uesed to draw the rough draw with blue and red pencils, ink it or made the clean lineart in black and then they scanned it without the need to eraese the rough pencil underneath.
As a traditional artist I can confirm that consuming my paint totally gives me magical powers😌🙃
u can't do that tho
It was a joke-
Blue pencils were used by people in the design industry as well as the animation industry because it was a tone that was visible to our eyes on roughs, but when scanned in with corrections, was not visible by the scanner and so would make copies that didn't have the 'editing lines' on it.
6:53 I like to use colored pencils for sketches because some colors are naturally lighter than others so I can go over lines I like with darker pencils.
I love how when he looks back at the camera he has a face that says it all.
14:07 this means that if i post a video on how to eat-
Traditional artists are built different
12:52 my friend drew with sand and mulch :)
Ah yes, Sam rebirthing the ‘traditional artists eat gouache paint’
10:47. That’s the best part of this video, I laughed so hard 😂😂
I use blue or red pencils to do the first sketch. It helps remind myself that I’m that I’m Sketching/planning and I need to chill. Also sometimes I confuse my lines and lose track on where i was goin with the drawing in the first place lol
4:35 that left foot doesn't look right to me in the flipped version
11:34 Sam: are you guys living life on 2* speed?
Me, who's watching this video on 2* speed because I have no attention span: ..............
I am one of those artist that try to do something first try and I get really frustrated when I do it wrong.😃😃😭
EXACTLYYY
6:31 Sam just waiting for him to come up lmao
Yup how sad
6:40 I did a Google search and apparently one of the reasons people use blue pencils, is because it doesn't smudge as much as graphite pencils do :D
We use the blue color pencil because we can draw darker color pencil to give details. best eg is 8:27 .
I find it so hilarious when digital artists are just so surprised by traditional artist work and helpful tips. (Although, please don’t eat your paint)
boo
let us have our colored pudding
The 2nd on is good if you don't care about long term archivalness of the pieces your doing.
Adding corn starch to an acrylic binder adds more that can yellow/flake/go bad quicker, and the pure rubbing alcohol (or hand sanitizer) breaks down the pigments faster (can't say why as I'm not marker focused and only glanced at the science behind)
as for the wc that one tears up the fiber of the painting, so only do that if there's not going to be another layer (it changed the surface so the wc would lay differently after; same with scrubbing the paper with a wet stiff brush to lighten/lift a lower layer)
The blue pencil can be used when sketching a sketch that will later be painted with water colour as the blue doesn't show through as much as the "normal" pencil :)
6:24 at least i know why i am.. its because the urge to draw only gets to me when im holding my blue pen trying to study
5:59
2 words.
Sue them.
I learned to use blue pencil for comic making. You draw lightly with blue and then go over it with lineart to solidify your ideas. It is mostly erasable if you need to erase it, but it doesn’t smudge like a graphite pencil does. Now I do that digitally to create a rough sketch before I create my lining layer as it helps me to maintain the energy of the gesture as go over it with my lineart.
3:27 PFFFTTTT-
How can this man be funny, savage and caring at the same time- anyways waiting for a vid of Sam roasting us 👀 don’t give us mercy this time!
I love you and your art Sam!!!! ❤️❤️❤️
3:14 man i think i have another solution that doesn’t involve boiling anything
I saw an art tip that said to draw where the hand is before the arm- it’s been working pretty good ig
you honestly help with my art! lmao i used to be so proud and post it but my art style has changed sm thanks to your tips!
11:23 that smile bro 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Sam: *applauding the people helping the newbies*
Also sam: *passionate about not doing tutorials on yt*
If you use color sketching it does usually help with either setting the mood for the picture or just making it less scary to plop a color down... At least that's why I do it coming from a traditional and digital artist point of view.
(9:41) oh come on sam youre just jeaous
4:29 i feel bad for the feet;-;
as a blue pen/pencil user, i personally use a variety of blue pens and pencil for certain drawings/doodles with the element of "sadness" or "gloominess", and then again i use more of red pens and pencil for anger.
it's emotions, the emotions the artist has at that time affects their masterpiece.
when i watched this. i remember someone traced your art and call it his own but his a newbie in shading so we just ignored it.
we love your art sam!
About the blue pencil, I remember that it is rather for the old school of animation. They used to use charcoal and to define a silhouette that was getting lost they used the blue pencil
Although in reality it could be any other color that stood out from the black, even it has a name, but i dont remeber it
Blue pencils are easy to erase and dont smudge when you ink on them which is why alot of traditional artists use them
I do Flo's tutorials every week because they are out of the norm of what I like to do and it is a fun and interesting way to break out of your comfort zone if only for once a week. The results have more of an illustrated or graphic design look to them and she is very thorough in how to use Procreate to recreate them.
I use a different colour to sketch. Makes it easier to see where the lines are without lowering the opacity
7:30 Being the most Asian Parent
hello sam!, bought a sketchbook and it’s really helping me, ty!
TBH THEY MADE THOSE ART HACKS SO EASILY WHEN WE TRY IT IS HARD 😭
I think it was lavendertowne that taught me this, but if you're having trouble with perspective make whatever room you want in the Sims, take a picture, and use that for reference. I do it all the time and I love it
The villagers in sams village would be rough and tough I bet
5:50 someone in a discord server once traced my art (only for that server) and i didnt really care because i knew they werent gonna post it anywhere but this still caused so much drama that i eneded up leaving the server xD
I used to use the blue pencil because of how light it is.
You're one of my biggest inspos whenever I draw, and I usually have a small photo of one of your drawings so I can mimick the shape of the lips/nose(trace it then draw it next to it to *expertly* analyse how you do the lips and perky nose) and expand it in my own style.
Blue just matches my vibe, my secondary is a plum color for deep shadows lol
Possibly someone already said this, but the blue pencil doesn’t scan well on a scanner, so if you sketch in blue and then ink in black, you get a nice clean scan of your finished lineart. Comes from traditional comics, I think.
this has gotta be the first video where sam doesn't roast traditional artists, but rather compliments us :D
Watercolor is pretty delicious as well
4:43 12yr old artist here big lie I’m gonna be honest I’ve traced my whole life I don’t follow tutorials and take tips on how to draw but I’ve recently started to draw my own art and it’s seriously impressive I can draw body proportions with no problem and I’m really good at details and shading and I’ve just copied when I always did before and I literally have an award from my school because I was the best artist out of grade 7 ( my grade) to grade 8 trust me it helps you
I also traced and copied all my stuff when I was around your age and it helped me a lot when I started to draw realistic portraits because you have to pay attention at the same things you do if you're trying to make a good copy. It really helps a lot in some aspects. Now I'm able to do my own thing too so that's fun
@@express999snsdTYY GLAD TO KNOW IM NOT THE ONLY ONE
I remember this one time where i traced over someones art and sent it to my friend claming it was mine (the friend asked for the picture I didnt send it out of nowhere
I did it because I was feeling really bad about my own art at that time
But I still regret it
Tracing and claming it as your own is a big no no
*Pat pat* it's okay little one, you're growing and learning you're no longer the one who you were back then, feel better about your art, cheer up and you know your big no nos
@@cherrymarriedindiscord1404 Thank you I appreciate that :)
@@anna-xc3xk ╰(*´︶`*)╯ glad
With the blue pencil stuff, I agree with the girl in the vid bc I think my stuff with blue look best bc I sketch my base stuff with a really light blue, define it with a darker blue, then put the details in purple and it looks so goood! The harmony between the colours is just amazing
You need to do more of these. They're very enjoyable to watch 😊
Over just a month or so of watching your videos, my art has improved drastically and I finally painted my first piece of digital art that I can be proud of yesterday!! ^^
- Btw, if you see this, can you pls do another painting-on-camera? I find that just watching the whole process of people painting REALLY helps with my improvements. ^^
Tysm for your endless amounts of tips and your gentle ways of explaining and teaching things to me. Love your work and keep it up! ☺️
How many "firsts" will there be today?
Too damn many
@@auggiemain yessir
Thank you so much for making these! I always wait for a new one to come out and I hope you continue the series!
My understanding is that blue pencil just doesn’t show up as much as regular pencil and calls for less erasing
I fully expected Sam to get up and get aluminium foil to try if that art tip actually works
I used to think tiktok was WAY too chaotic tbh (as a teen of this gen I think that says much) but now I feel like some of it is actually quality stuff XP I enjoy these vids!
I don’t know reason for blue pencils when just sketching, but when painting over a sketch, any coloured pencils are good, because it doesn’t show up as much a normal pencil under the paint, although most artists will use blue or red, as they are less vibrant👍
In Graphic Design school I was taught Blue pencil was for sketches because its a lighter than black and you can take a Red pencil and make changes to the sketch for final product that way you sketch once and save time.
