even for illustrators it really depend on their artstyle too. There are lots of artstyle like graphic type illustration where lines are important. Kind of disagree with her opinion that lineart can’t improve a piece of work. If you actually know how to properly control line depth then it can add more emphasis to shape and flow to in your piece
"You can save an image with good colouring but not with a good liner" I think lineart is really underrated. I was trying to lessen my lineart, but then I decided to embrace it and really play with line width and details. I can drop down flat colours on the lineart and depending on how much detail I've done, it can look practically finished
There's a number of artists I follow who do pieces exclusively with linework and a simple flat coloring with MAYBE 1 set of shadows/highlights. In their case yeah, lineart makes or breaks it. I absolutely adore that style though. It's SO hard to get right though since you can't really hide any mistakes with effects and such
Seeing my low effort tutorial I made in like 5 minutes was such a jumpscare jesus christ 😭😭 Thanks for the rating Sam! I’ll change my Apple Pencil tip just for you-
I once saw a nice tip for the first page in your sketchbook: just doodle something quick and "ugly", so you don't have the anxiety of not making the first page perfect because there's already something ugly on it. And anything you draw into your sketchbook after that will always be better than the first page and you'll automatically feel better about all the pages after that. It took some getting used to for a perfectionist like me, but I really like this trick now!
That's actually a great idea. A friend of mine took a playwriting class, and they said their first assignment was to write the worst play they could possibly imagine. Exactly the same concept; everything after that could only be better.
It's the ONLY way. Maybe lefties have a different experience tho? My mom's a lefty I'm going to ask her real quick actually. Edit: She does it the normal way but my brother starts from the bottom right :0
Sam: “Make some expressions at yourself. Just make sure no one’s watching” Also Sam: Proceeds to make expressions at himself with hundreds of thousands of people watching
Okay wait but I can’t be the only one who draws all the facial features, arms, legs, the torso and the clothes on different layers? Like other people do that right? Right???
I absolutely do that, it's pretty common I have clothes and body lines in separate folders. If I want to converse layers, then I'll make things on different layers ( For easy fixing and adjusting ), then merge and smoosh them down into one layer once I'm happy
7:03 I interpreted what she said differently, maybe I'm wrong. I thought she meant that if your coloring isn't good, it doesn't matter if your lineart is good, cuz it will not hide the coloring.
I actually watch art videos while I'm drawing more often than not, it helps me pick up info and focus on my art better, that way the information gets put into your art quicker and, for me, gets stuck in your long term memory. (Sometimes art tips may not always be good but I picked up a few here already lol)
I realized why i like binging these videos with this one. Not only does this help provide good art advice, it also helps teach people how to not fall for bad advice.
I love Marco Grassi's work. It always blows my mind how patient he is and those arts are so big. Also yes you're weird how you draw the star 😅 I also start from the top
I remember seeing a really good explanation how tiktok can still be good but not always the best option for tips; especially art tips. Because of its short time format. With the limited time it becomes hard to actually explain why you’re doing this. It’s like how ‘Here’s some good colour palettes because of colour theory!’ The audience (typically art babies) doesn’t get the full look on why it looks good. All they know it works because of something called colour theory, and if the person showing this decides to explain it full out they’d have to do a part 2. Now because of how people don’t tend to link or how Tiktok is laid out this part 2 tends to be harder to find. Tiktok does have good art tips but I don’t recommend it as your first go to. Platforms with longer formats would probably be your best option if you do want to check online. Heck! Sam here is a good teacher aswell. Now don’t let this comment restrict you on any decision you make for future projects just take it as something that *could* help you improve.
7:22 i love to draw hands, knowing that most people hate it makes it that much more rewarding. Ive found myself drawing my own hands in class and having a ton of fun
1:35 about the grid method, for me it really helped me improve very fast. It made me focus more of thw colours and my hand became used to the feeling of the shapes
man i love drawing hands i spent so much time trying to perfect them i would dedicate entire sketch pages and fill them up with different hand poses. i just wanted to get good.🙃
I draw my stars the same way you do. Ive never seen someone draw the way in the tiktok and had to rewind to make sure i saw that right like you did second later when i played the video through
The tip about colouring being more important than lineart annoys me a little because it only applies if youre mainly a "painting" artist, one that works in terms of pieces. It is completely useless for stuff like comics or animation.
I really want to learn anatomy but there is so much about anatomy out there 😭I don’t know where to start can you please make a video on that ? Like a guide to learn anatomy and what should I learn first
If you really want, draw every strand of hair. There is no “right” or “wrong” way. But remember, following Sam’s advice has one HUGE advantage; you can finish an art piece AND still have time for things like eating, sleeping and human interaction.
I love that I was already drawing come the end of this video 🤭actively looking at my art liek wth am I doing and Sams like “you’re gonna be the best artist ever ☺️”🤎luv ya Sam
“if you don’t know how to, just draw it” is SO REALLLLLL i used to draw big sleeves, avoid the hands, whatever. then i actually tried. i ACTUALLY put in the effort and hey! it wasn’t that bad! not good, but i kept trying, and it kept getting better. i’m still not good but i’m getting better with every drawing
1:33 this is a legitimate way of drawing. I was given a picture of a three your old to draw it and said it back so they can have their own portrait, and I couldn’t have even started if we weren’t using the grid method. So I love your channel, but I think that part is fine for beginners who can’t do your level of things yet, okay?
The grid method does have its place. Artists during the renaissance would plan out paintings on a small scale and use grids to paint them larger. It would be extremely difficult to get the proportions for a large mural correct without using a grid. So yes they are legitimate 👍 and ofc they’re also good for beginners to practice
I'm not a beginner artist and I still use the grid method (I tweak it to be a bit more as guidelines rather than grid). I don't think there's anything wrong with it if you're someone who does realistic art and have to get the proportions as accurately as possible.
in my opinion, grid technique is good for if you're doing traditional art and you want to focus on painting/coloring, especially for landscapes/cityscapes where grids are good to see the proportions of the overall reference
I don't draw humans a lot, but yes, I put everything on separate layers. The hair is separate, the skin (any part of the body that shows when clothes on including the face), clothes, any accessories. I mostly draw horses, for them I have the horse's body on one layer, next is the mane, then another for tail. It's because I really struggle drawing hair and so I can erase and delete anything without having to think about erasing and redrawing points of the body. If something is behind and I'm not sure how it should go that also goes on a separate layer and later in I erase whatever part is blocked by the object. In the end though I make a clean line art when I'm satisfied and that goes on one single layer. Idk for me this is easier. (And yes for humans I occasionally have to make a separate layer for eyes or nose or lips because I keep erasing and nothing seems to work out and it's easier)
when i do the roughest rough sketch i do the body on a layer and then clothes and hair on a second layer. when I'm sketching a detailed sketch(i don't do lineart) i put everything together
Im glad you're making these videos. Art babies could easily come across all of these tiktoks and think all of it is legit advice without knowing that some of this "advice" is just pure wrong or semi-wrong. When you're just starting out you can't tell the good tips from the shite tips.
12:50 Honestly, I usually either do the method you do or start at the right, go to the left, go down bottom right, up to top, down to bottom left, and back to right, but it really depends on where my hand is. Sometimes I even switch between clockwise and counterclockwise. It's weird. Stars are weirddd
3:16 I usually keep my sketches to two layers, the body/bodies/subject then clothes/details. If there’s an item in the foreground or behind the subject, I make layers for that too. After finishing the sketch, I then merge the layers together before starting line art
Intro keeps getting more crazy... Also, as an art baby, thank you so much for these videos! I really love your content and your style, and your comments. Keep going!
Sam: "all the art tips you listen to just depend on your own personal art style"
Also Sam: 1/10
Sam does rants. :D
10:16 "If you can't draw something... draw it" Is probably the best piece of art advice I've ever heard.
I’m not good at drawing hands but I never shy away from drawing hands and it has helped me a lot.
@@GassyGoat Way to go. I do the same thing. It only makes you better 👍🏻
And the hardest
i read sth similiar regarding writing once: "the thing you are most afraid to write - write that"

Line art is especially important if you want to become an animator. You can't cheat your way out of it on big productions.
100%
even for illustrators it really depend on their artstyle too. There are lots of artstyle like graphic type illustration where lines are important. Kind of disagree with her opinion that lineart can’t improve a piece of work. If you actually know how to properly control line depth then it can add more emphasis to shape and flow to in your piece
I agree. Lineart is my favorite part and can convey so much emotion
i am an animator and i agree with that well im not advance im doing practice right now and i hope to make it an anime my dream since 2020
As an art baby thank you for making these videos 🫡
I think he’s saved lives of the art babies 😂
Yesssss
YES

youre not XD layer folders are a blessing
what? facial features? You have separate layers for each eye nose and mouth?

Thank you for the amazing tips for all of us art babies, Sam!
(Don't worry Sam, you're not the only one that draws stars like that:)
Personally, as a Live2D artist, i put everything on a seperate layer. Even the highlights and shadows. Every. Thing.
1:20 THANK YOU! Team anti-grid method. Unless you're translating an original drawing into a giant mural, grids are dumb.

no tiktok is advice is mostly horrible because it's mostly narcissistic children spewing nonsense.
Yup absolutely right! The importance of lineart depends on artstyle! For some people it doesn't matter but for some linear is the most important step!

Sam hassuch a satisfying voice to listen to, one of the reasons I love his vids
I love how he makes an effort to post at least one vid every week thank-you sam ❤
When Sam asked "how do you draw your stars" why did that make me think of all my life decisions and made me forget how to draw a star at the same time
9:25 definitely my favourite one
11:22 I definitely agreed on what you said, I was bad at drawing hands so I didn’t draw them but when I finally drew them they were my favorite part.
15:08 Bold of u to assume I haven't been drawing for this whole video 🤨😂
YES, thank you, Tracing is a GREAT tool for practice. It's just not Kosher for pieces you display (in whatever way).

The outro telling me to stop watching and go draw was the wake-up call from TH-cam brainrot I needed for today, thanks Sam

After sam said the last part, I used my new sketchbook and made a pen drawing that I'm really proud of! Thanks, Sam!
