@@mayuridreemurr3411 Don't you still have to outline everything to be able to fill them in (but just with the same color instead of a contrasting dark color)?
Me: **takes out sketchbook and pencil** **block gets thrown at me** Me: “Huh, what’s this?” Me: **turns it over and sees it is labeled ‘art’** Me: “Oh it’s an art bloc-“ Me: “Oh, it’s art block.”
anatomy isn't that hard, it's a game of memorisation and practice. are you sure you're not struggling with foreshortening and the like? I used to draw eccentric poses and would get a weird result, always thought it was anatomy but in reality it was a problem of perspective. Really, master your linework, perspective and poses, in that order, before going into anatomy and other similar details (machinery, clothes, props, &c).
You posted this exactly when I needed it. I've spent 2hrs on a sketch. Edit: I usually don't spend this long on drawings but I am doing way more complex of a drawing then normal, and I have also been artblocked lately so that's rad. 🤙
Y'all ever observe webtoons? They have dozens and dozens of panels and have to update once a week minimum. This is just making me respect them even more uwu
A lot of the time the creator(s) have a backlog so it gives them time to work efficently without compromising their health and social life....but yeah, you right. Still amazing. I don't think even with a backlog of episodes I could do what some webtoon artists do. X3
I draw slowly because I’m a perfectionist, I will spend 5 minutes drawing a line, be proud, then 2 hours later go back to the line and try to redraw it for another 5 minutes. This happens to every single line I draw.
I find a lot of the time I just stare at my piece for a while after I complete each bit. Not that I get art block but I keep wanting to review my progress too regularly as I go along. It means its pretty satisfying once I'm done because I already know I'm happy (or as close as I'm gonna get) with each bit, but it probably doubles or trebles the time till completion.
Literally this is what I was thinking today wtf- Like, I can be done with the shading of the hair for example and I just... stare at it. For minutes, not even kidding I stare for probably 10+ minutes and kinda zone out, then I remember I need to finish the rest and laugh hard 🤣
@@pudding8829 I am, but not really. XD My art page is SakuraofChaos on DA. Also, I DON'T draw fetish art. I still suck at anatomy. But eh, it's better than most.
You've impacted my life and art so, so much. Only a few summers ago, I had no art style, skills, or anything to match. But when I found your channel, it changed EVERYTHING. I started to study your art style and tips, and eventually, my style became my own; a serious amalgamation of every art style and person I had studied before. You're literally the reason I want to start a youtube channel, the reason I even have my tiny little Imgur account, the reason I don't mind all the hate I've gotten (It was to be expected, they were KPOP paintings and people are dumb) I owe everything I've become in the art world to you and a ton of other artists. Your content is phenomenal! Thank you for being you! :D I've been working hard on a lot of KPOP paintings recently actually, and this video served as a reminder to not overwork myself. I legit spent 8 hours in a day working on a digital painting simply because I wanted to, and I've been getting gradually slower, so this video is literally sent straight from art heaven *sheds a tear of gratitude
I can't draw chibi. For me it's harder than anatomy. The head always looks too big and the anatomy does not look good when I draw chibi. This is why I prefer to draw more realistic using anatomy.
Everyone else: Omg, thanks, this really helped. Me: Not an artist, supposed to be getting ready for school, sitting on the toilet, watching youtube. PRIORITIES!!!!
Recently started a webcomic and looking at your webcomic has helped me with so many tips! Every time I find myself fussing over some detail, I think “would I care about that issue if I saw that in Unfamiliar?” And if my answer was no, I just let it be. I’ve been trying to keep up frequent updates to get the story to move forward and as a result a sometimes let my art look rather basic. While I’m sure it doesn’t look as beautiful as I’d like it to be, I’ve never been happier knowing my characters are finally coming to life outside of my sketchbook.
The first tip was a HUGE game-changer for me...I applied this to myself and thought about what took up most of my time when I drew after watching this video. This helped me realized I spent a _lot_ of time fixing anatomical mistakes and that pushed me to change the way I figure draw, which helped me draw a lot faster the next time around 😁 thank you for this blessing of a video ♥
A really great exercise to improve your speed (and also the looseness of your drawings) is gesture drawing. Give yourself a very short amount of time (like, 30 seconds) to try and capture the shape of an object. You can also practice drawing characters and environments and scenes AS FAST AS POSSIBLE, without getting stuck on details. Like, just get the overall shape and enough detail to know what you're looking at. :) I find it a fun way to practice.
everytime i look at an unfinished artwork that was supposed to be simple, its like 20-50 hours ive been working on it and i just sit there in shock for a couple of seconds

Omg thank you so much for this! I really needed this! I'm struggling so much to meet my art project deadlines and it's the first time I've ever had a full schedule and I've always been a slowpoke at everything so this was SO helpful! 😭💖✨
well in videos like this the visuals aren't necessarily correlated with what you're hearing so it's probably fine since it's pretty similar to just listening to something ? unless you do keep looking up lol
I really want to thank you for all your tips! Artists please listen to her! This has to be one of the most healthy ways to get faster at drawing and still providing tips that will work I have seen online! Way to often people who give tips to improve say things like “stop caring about making mistakes make bad art, rush pieces if you have to and fake making them look better with digital tools, simplify your style drastically, and tune out everything around you until you finish.” And while you offered some of those tips I also feel you actually managed to tell artists the most important thing most people forget, which is to take breaks to improve your mental health and thus your speed, and to draw things you enjoy because if your drawing something you like you’ll go faster regardless!!! Also your tip on using art for multiple projects is really smart! Working faster does not always have to mean scarifying breaks or scarifying making art you enjoy for the sake of speed. I really feel if you can find ways to enjoy the process of making art while going faster you’ll have the best and speediest results!
Also using tools might help a lot. Yesterday i spent an hour and a half trying to get one simple pose right and it only worked when i used a 3d model as a reference. So references and not going in blind might also be a good tip.
And I listen to EPIC music when drawing and it makes me feel like a hero when I managed to draw a line xD But of course sometimes silence is the best... :3
I like to listen to the background music in my favorite movies, it’s peaceful but awesome at the same time. Like I make playlists of every song in that movie. Edward Scissorhands has really good music, so does Corpse bride.
my advise is visualize everything before starting because you'll have a clear direction of what you want the thing to end up looking like, instead of stumbling blindly drawing, it can help procrastination, understand/get comfortable with the character beforehand
Oh god! I needed this RIGHT NOW! I’m drawing something for a project, and I want to get it done... I’m taking a break right now, and oh my this is just too perfect! Thank you 💜
Great advice with the combination of two different work fields. I'm frequently working on my weekly manga updates myself. Had to write and submit a storyboard with a screenplay for a storytelling seminar once. My professor fortunately allowed me to submit the current dialogue scene from my manga since she was interested in different narration styles and media. She was so kind and told me what she likes about my work but also provided a lot of great visualization and narration advices which had a certain impact on my current style.
This was what I needed today. I was literally thinking this today. I just realized I can make vector images in Clip Studio for basic stuff like trees and background characters so that I can reuse them occasionally. That should lighten the workload. If anything some of them could probably be a running gag.

Not trying to correct or be rude or anything Lavendertowne, you are literally one of the only people I watch and a big inspiration I would never insult you 💕 So, about the try not to watch shows or movies while your drawing, in my experience ( which is not much at all but I’ve been drawing for a while ), I like to put on a movie or tv show that I have watched each episode/the movie over 3 times, and listen to the noise since I’ve watched it so many times, I don’t feel bad about missing out on what’s going on. For me, I would just watch Harry Potter and the Sorcerers Stone since I’ve read and watched it over 5 times, and the show Bobs Burgers since I’ve also watched each episode over 3 times. There are also shows/movies that YOU could probably fall asleep to, but ( note it takes me *hours* to get to sleep ) I would put on Harry Potter and be asleep before we even saw Harry at all. ( sadly it’s not on Hulu or HBO anymore ;( ) Now this is just my opinion/experience, if this doesn’t work for you, fine! Find something else that works for you, but this works for me and for other people so dont be rude about it if you disagree ( again I know Lavendertowne disagrees but she’s not rude, so if she sees this I don’t hate you or anything, read the top line again )
that's surprising, for me the digital is at least 2 times faster, because of all the tools that i can use; try getting expertise with the program you work, getting used to use keybinds and knowing better the tools can help a lot to get faster, assuming that you want to.
@@guilhermeguilherme7314 I draw on my ipad so no keybindings but, I know I'm slower with digital because that's when the perfectionist part of my brain kicks in ( since I see digital art as a professional thing more that anything else )
Thanks, I needed this! I'm drawing like 34 drawings (21 of them are done) and deadlines are coming soon and the problem is that I was trying to get everything perfect and that's what's slowing me down
As a perfectionist with ADD, *thank you.* I've been searching all over the internet for tips, but with you making a video about it...it felt like a wake-up call for me
one specific technique i’ve found is to sketch in fast swipes rather than meticulously curated hatching so i don’t send like 40 billion years sketching
honestly my art style has changed so much its crazy but it gets more fun the more it changes originally it was realistic then semi realism then realism yet again then kind of cartoony then boom slighty anime and yet again rather cartoony its much more fun and it feels more me :D
I finnaly found a comment that's not from a year ago!!! And also the same thing happen to me with the art style From cartoon to anime to realistic to semi realistic to semi doodle?? (is that a thing???) than anime and now cartoon anime-ish??? When I meant semi doodle is like those drawings from children books looks simple and kinda unfinished but pretty at the same time if you know what I mean 😅😅😅
LavenderTowne: figure out what slows you down Me: Well first of all depression tm, PDDNOS uhm artblock, everything even midly distracting ahh yes I've figured it out either life slows me down or I'm slowing myself down. Its seems to be both at the moment.
I have a good tip that i like to use! If there's something that you know you can draw on-the-fly without sketching it out first, add it in when you're doing lineart instead. That way you're not wasting time drawing details in your sketch and you can move onto the lineart quicker.
Tysm! I’ve just realized my perfectionist problem 😅. Also I took up a lot of time on hands and feet and when I made it cartoon blobs it didn’t look bad! It even matched my eyes. Thanks for the tips!
Hey Lavendertowne! I just wanna say that I love your art and I’ve been following you(watching your vids) since the beginning. I honestly love them all, mostly cause even in your how to vids you always say it’s not the set in stone way. I love your art style and your channel. I hope you enjoy making them as much as me and many others love watching them.
Fun fact : i watch Lavendertowne’s videos while drawing and it helps bc when I see them in my recommended i think “i need to be drawing while watching her” so it helps me draw more :)

my advise is visualize everything before starting because you'll have a clear direction of what you want the thing to end up looking like, instead of stumbling blindly drawing, it can help procrastination, understand/get comfortable with the character beforehand
Oh god! I needed this RIGHT NOW! I’m drawing something for a project, and I want to get it done... I’m taking a break right now, and oh my this is just too perfect! Thank you 💜
hey lavender...
do you think you could turn drawing brands (Ultimate Artist, Crayola, etc.) into cute guys and gals? I'd love to see that!
Step eight: Make a deal with Satan to give you the power to freeze time! This is also useful for non-art activities
Super helpful tips for me since I'm planning to put more content out faster 👍🏻
Great advice with the combination of two different work fields. I'm frequently working on my weekly manga updates myself. Had to write and submit a storyboard with a screenplay for a storytelling seminar once. My professor fortunately allowed me to submit the current dialogue scene from my manga since she was interested in different narration styles and media. She was so kind and told me what she likes about my work but also provided a lot of great visualization and narration advices which had a certain impact on my current style.
This was what I needed today. I was literally thinking this today. I just realized I can make vector images in Clip Studio for basic stuff like trees and background characters so that I can reuse them occasionally. That should lighten the workload. If anything some of them could probably be a running gag.

Yet I see HUNDREDS of comments.... TH-cam, is you okay man?
Comments are posted immediately because they're worthless, but views are valuable so they are delayed and registered only after they are vetted to not be bots.
youtube is going though some shit right now
Garbage :3 yea
Yeah!there's only 80 views and I just liked the video and like 400 comments
yeah, Im apparently the "first like" :/
Not trying to correct or be rude or anything Lavendertowne, you are literally one of the only people I watch and a big inspiration I would never insult you 💕
So, about the try not to watch shows or movies while your drawing, in my experience ( which is not much at all but I’ve been drawing for a while ), I like to put on a movie or tv show that I have watched each episode/the movie over 3 times, and listen to the noise since I’ve watched it so many times, I don’t feel bad about missing out on what’s going on. For me, I would just watch Harry Potter and the Sorcerers Stone since I’ve read and watched it over 5 times, and the show Bobs Burgers since I’ve also watched each episode over 3 times. There are also shows/movies that YOU could probably fall asleep to, but ( note it takes me *hours* to get to sleep ) I would put on Harry Potter and be asleep before we even saw Harry at all. ( sadly it’s not on Hulu or HBO anymore ;( )
Now this is just my opinion/experience, if this doesn’t work for you, fine! Find something else that works for you, but this works for me and for other people so dont be rude about it if you disagree ( again I know Lavendertowne disagrees but she’s not rude, so if she sees this I don’t hate you or anything, read the top line again )
Lol, when ever I do digital art it takes me hours to do. But when I'm doing traditional art, it takes me less than an hour.
omg yes
Honestly I always listen to TH-camrs when I draw. Your voice is honestly so calming I tend to go straight for your channel lol
Around 8 minutes in..., I closed out of the video.
These tricks work miracles, nicely done!
My drawing time changes depending on if I’m drawing digital or traditional, digital takes much longer.
that's surprising, for me the digital is at least 2 times faster, because of all the tools that i can use; try getting expertise with the program you work, getting used to use keybinds and knowing better the tools can help a lot to get faster, assuming that you want to.
@@guilhermeguilherme7314
I draw on my ipad so no keybindings but, I know I'm slower with digital because that's when the perfectionist part of my brain kicks in
( since I see digital art as a professional thing more that anything else )
I actually draw very quickly, and it's hard for me to slow down and make things a bit cleaner.
What takes me so long is the fact that I’m a perfectionist and if it looks slightly odd it makes me start all over again ;-;
Thanks alot for the perfectionism thing. You're so awesome.
Thanks, I needed this! I'm drawing like 34 drawings (21 of them are done) and deadlines are coming soon and the problem is that I was trying to get everything perfect and that's what's slowing me down
TH-cam: LavenderTowne posted a video 29 minutes ago
Me:*sees comment from 50 minutes ago* TH-cam, you okay???? 🤨
Early! Love you Lavender, you always make me happy. ^^
I was thinking how I can do a drawing quick before this video!
I AM SUCH a perfectionist like bro i would spend one WHOLE hour for sketching one person from shoulders up, the fuck am i even doing
As a perfectionist with ADD, *thank you.*
I've been searching all over the internet for tips, but with you making a video about it...it felt like a wake-up call for me
Better method: do the HOMESTUCK style and make one drawing and put character text at the bottom 😂 👍
yES
as a homestuck fan, I agree 👌🏼
Omg, I read your comics and didn't even notice it was yours. You have amazing work! Keep it up!!
How could you not? Her style is one of the most distinctive ever
Earlyish :D
Btw I adore unfamiliar
one specific technique i’ve found is to sketch in fast swipes rather than meticulously curated hatching so i don’t send like 40 billion years sketching
honestly my art style has changed so much its crazy but it gets more fun the more it changes
originally it was realistic then semi realism then realism yet again then kind of cartoony then boom slighty anime and yet again rather cartoony its much more fun and it feels more me :D
I finnaly found a comment that's not from a year ago!!! And also the same thing happen to me with the art style
From cartoon to anime to realistic to semi realistic to semi doodle?? (is that a thing???) than anime and now cartoon anime-ish???
When I meant semi doodle is like those drawings from children books looks simple and kinda unfinished but pretty at the same time if you know what I mean 😅😅😅
Thanks, Lavender for helping me draw faster! I'm really slow at drawing, I takes me ages to draw only a hand.... So it helped me a lot!!!😄
yes yes YES
This is a video for me, because I draw really slow...and I need to change it! Thank you!
OH NO ITS THE SUPREME LEADER OF GREMLINS
LavenderTowne: figure out what slows you down
Me: Well first of all depression tm, PDDNOS uhm artblock, everything even midly distracting ahh yes I've figured it out either life slows me down or I'm slowing myself down. Its seems to be both at the moment.
I have a good tip that i like to use! If there's something that you know you can draw on-the-fly without sketching it out first, add it in when you're doing lineart instead. That way you're not wasting time drawing details in your sketch and you can move onto the lineart quicker.
Queen Rosecat :3 I do that too! Super helpful. uwu
Tysm! I’ve just realized my perfectionist problem 😅. Also I took up a lot of time on hands and feet and when I made it cartoon blobs it didn’t look bad! It even matched my eyes. Thanks for the tips!

A good tip for managing perfection in digital art is to try and not zoom in as much. It makes you focus on the whole image instead of petty details.
"Don't get distracted by TV"
Me: *silently turns off drawing tablet, walks away, and gets water"
Hey Lavendertowne! I just wanna say that I love your art and I’ve been following you(watching your vids) since the beginning. I honestly love them all, mostly cause even in your how to vids you always say it’s not the set in stone way. I love your art style and your channel. I hope you enjoy making them as much as me and many others love watching them.
Fun fact : i watch Lavendertowne’s videos while drawing and it helps bc when I see them in my recommended i think “i need to be drawing while watching her” so it helps me draw more :)
