I forget what it's called but there's actually a reference site that breaks down the 3d models layer by layer. Hopefully it's found just in case this happens again

I think it would have added interest to the hair if you had added streamers, but I really like the design❤

There's a thing called the Games Fashion Archive which has a bunch of game clothing models which should really help with the weird layers. It also has a thing that allows you to turn on and off certain layers. Hopefully that helps with the reference?

It’s a turbulent time to be me

"how does the fabric lay on the body?" Fun fact I learned through observation: Hoyoverse are dirty cheaters in character design. If they don't want it to move, or it would be more of a pain to sculpt the prop separate on the body they 'paint' the model. Kokomi for example: Her choker is painted on, but the teardrop pendant is sculpted. If you look closely they've fused the blue and white together on her torso to simplify the physics but it's supposed to be a coat over a bodysuit! So, you're not wrong in being frustrated. I would trust the model more for reference than any official art they provide.

That's less to do with "cheating" character designs and more to do with technical limitations. Genshin Impact is a game intended to run on mobile hardware, and every polygon has a performance cost. A while back Mihoyo released a video of Barbara as a sort of faux-VTuber, and the character mesh used was significantly more detailed than the in-game one

Oh my god. I thought it would be a fun idea to draw myself and my friends in Genshin character’s costumes. I was wrong. The line art alone took me a month. I have massive respect for the amount of detail you did give them. I’m a writer, so whenever it comes to character design, I’m like “shirt, pants, shoes, out the door. Come on, we don’t have all day. You need to have a fight with your brother, nearly die and then get lost in a cave, you can worry about makeup some other time.”

2:50 Oh I feel you June, not exactly but a similar flavour of frustration. having a series/ story your trying to make characters for then not being able to draw anything but them and not being able to think about anything but them and specifically a whole new species that I’ve made arbitrary rules for even though it would do me so much more good to just experiment way more, but I’m so stuck with everything I’ve been doing that I feel shackled to my own ideas

@shorter2243

I feel you so much! Had the same problem, esspecially the species thing. I got so fixated on things having to be "realistic" it made my designs worse. Nowadays I just remember it's a cartoon, and the wings don't have to be proportionally large to the body, because it's a drawing and they can fly if i say so. With drawing your characters all the time and nothing else - maybe try to design stuff FOR your characters. Like their phone or room, or a bag etc. Still doing character design work, but also drawing other things :DD

@@iKaySabrina Ah yes, the "slapping a t-shirt and jeans on every character" problem. Well, I'm not any kind of grand master of character design, but I can threw some more tips ig. If you are as obsessed with your OCs as I tend to be, you can go to some clothing web store, scroll, and at some point you will go "OMG, [oc name] WOULD TOTALLY WEAR THAT" then screenshot it and save it for later. The biggest problem I used to have is that I didn't pay attention to what THE CHARACTER would like to wear and what is their style. Basically it's good to look at clothes as a part of character's personality.

or the opposite (kind of) you have this story and all these ideas in your head and you have no idea how to get it out much less draw anything 💀 i would actually kill for tips on how to like...organize(?) a story

@shorter2243

@@gh02tdu2t Heree i go... Again. First of all, my biggest tip is kinda basic - write stuff down. Don't keep it in your head, just everything you have - write it down. I use some websites to store the info: For characters I recommend Toyhouse. You need a code, but it's usually pretty easy to get one online from someone. It lets you make characters, give them custom css/html bios, organize all the pictures you have of them etc. Tho it's less story-telling focused and more for visual artists. For worldbuilding info Kanka is pretty good. It's also free for the most part. Actually, kanka could actually be used for litteraly everything. It has a character panel and also a timeline panel, which can be used to make story synopsis. Oh yea, actually, if you have the classic case of "i know where the story starts and where it ends, but the middle is just random bits i daydreamed at 3am." Make a synopsis. Write it all down in points, leaving the empty parts and writing down what you know you want to happen and in what order. Then you will know what do you still need to figure out! That's all, Hope it will help ^^

the in-between animatics/scenes in this video have me rolling !!!! like I'm trying to focus on the design commentary and process but i get distracted by june bemoaning about intimacy. i am LOVING THE NEW OUTRO ART AS WELL , NEW ERA ?

Awwww, your new animatics and background with the desk, computer and Cintiq table looks very very cute! I love them, June! You're one very talented artist indeed! ^_^

I’m so with you on the love to detail graph thing. I love detail, but I don’t like doing it out of outfit construction confusion. I also favor simple designs with a splash of detail. Designs like hoyoverse make my wrist hurt. This was a very fun video, and the title is deliciously hilarious.

i don't know if someone has already commented this BUT something i think might help you with figuring out how the clothes of a certain character works is looking at the 3d models like, outside the game. people always extract the models as soon as they release in the game so you shouldn't have much trouble finding them! genshin characters are all over the place, and as an easy way to visualize the models MMD is good and simple, you can pose the models and hide specific parts so you can see the clothes separately :)) i love your art so much btw it inspires me a ton

i absolutely love your “i don’t want to so i won’t” fucking vibes 😂 cuz like most people especially artist and even you in the past are so just ok with dropping shit bc it’s not necessary for the drawing to look good. It reminds me that every detail issnt required to make the character look recognizable or make the art good and that perfection issnt required for satisfaction with a peice, 10/10 video 10/10 channel and 10/10 person

OMG JUNEEE??? WE FINALLY HAVE THE NEW SET UPPP, i loved how in the other videos there was this big shock between your old drawings of Rae in the "under construction" set up and your new sparkly style, but your new one IS SOOOOO CUTEEEE LOVE ITTT.

THE NEW SETTING AND COLORS ARE SO PRETTY HDTBGDE

Okay, I know this is about Sparkle, but can we just take the time to appreciate all the subtle changes? Like, I LOVE the new backgrounds for June’s vids as well as the way their persona/mascot emotes! Even the end card looked awesome! It’s all looking so pretty, June! ❤ (EDITED BECAUSE IM A POO POO AND GOT THE PRONOUN WRONG IM SO SORRY-)

The reboot looks like it's in full effect! Love the new desk set up and the outro bg it's so gorgeous!

Omg yay new video for my favorite art KZreadr!! Thanks June for being here and making KZread videos, you were the main reason I decided to work towards my dream of being an artist and achieving my artists goals. And you’ve helped me learn so much to help my art skills grow! So thanks for being an amazing person in this world and entertaining all of us! If you haven’t heard it today, we all love you!

GINJANINJAOWO UPLOAD!! TODAY IS A GOOD DAY!!! If I went to school today I would’ve MISSED THIS.

Augh I've missed hearing June's expressive and squishy voice and listening to them explain so many things about art that I'm probably stupid to understand but that I find interesting anyways! I love them, so interesting, such fun art, mwa mwa what a cutie

We are being fed

The colors of the thumbnail are so unbelievably pretty!!!!!

Sugesstion i would love to see you do the 20 style art challenge again with the new shows/ movies/games etc that you have encountered, and turn your now new art style of your oc june that you have now, to see what has changed into your new likes and preferences.

The update assets!!!!! Construction is on its way to completion 😊

the new outro and desk set up are so so cool!! absolutely enamored with the desk one especially, and your little avatar.. oughh chefs kiss

I just want to give appreciation to how far you have come with changing your art and changing your oc and borderlines the intro and outro even the music!! You’ve come so far I watched you forever!! AGHHHH even your video cover is gorgeous😢

2:56 I ADORE how you delivered this bit. Sooooo funny and relatable all in one!!

Oh gee the backgrounds in this are SICK LOVELY GORGEOUS

June my guy I am LIVING for this! Amazing video as always and the new assets/end screens? TO DIE FOR. I AM FEASTING. It legit looks like candy and I’m gonna eat it nom nom nom

*aggressively shakes video* mah boy saMPO AT THE END OMGGG!!! I love how you drew Sparkle (even if I hate her as a character in the main story rn), and Sampo! They look really good in your style :D

THE REBOOT IS HERE OH MY GOSH!!! The editing is sooooo good and the little animatics in between are very expressive I can feel the pain of Hoyoverse designs! Everyone did so amazing on this video and I LOVE Sparkle in your own design. Sparkle so sparkly she sparkle sparkle

AAAAHHHHHHHH THE NEW TALKING SPRITES AND BACKGROUNDS ARE SO PRETTYYYYYYY JUNE YOURE SO GOOD AT DESIGNNNN !!!!!!!!

Can’t wait to see some more beautiful designs, amazing job as always. Love how the characters look in Hoyoverse games. ❤️💕

Theres so much emotion in everything she says, its so satisfying to just listen to her ramble. This is the first time ive fully watched a drawing video without getting bored

Any June upload day is a good day! Good luck on your Sparkle pulls ladies, gents, and those inbetween~

Games Fashion archives saves me when drawing genshin characters. It’s the 3d model and you can toggle on and off layers so you can get a full look at the outfit!!

AHHHH, THE NEW BACKGROUNDS AND ASSETS ALL LOOK SO COOL WAAAAAA💕💕💕

I love the new set up you drew. It's so pretty!

I love your new art style and animation and background design ❤❤❤

as someone who struggles to draw normal characters I didn't design I really feel ya

it shook me to my core when i saw this notification and i love your video and art!

OMG SO CUTE!!!! I love the new layout and assets so much omg!!!! >w<

i LOVE the panic during like the entire video, it resonates with me

8:42 *saw sampo* THATS MY SILLY OVER THERE WITH THE OTHER SILLY!

God this video reminds of how I draw! Especially that graph! If I ADORE the character! ALL THE DETAIL! If I hate the character but have to draw it?! Fuck you your details are MINE

Whoa this looks pretty!! ❤️❤️ Don't worry it's also hard for me to do details when it comes to drawing too.

Interior design student here! Love the vaporwave layout of your character’s room!!!! The backsplash of the wallpaper is something you don’t see used very often anymore.

OMG I love the new studio design! It looks so cute!!!❤❤❤

Love the New June Artstyle and Setup keep being awesome!

YOOOOOO OMG?? THE RENDERING OF THE NEW BACKGROUND IS SO PRETTY!! Studio upgrade!! I LOVE the way you made her long hair replace those ribbons, and kept true to the color palette but changed it just enough to make her recognizable but also easier to draw?? Very cool! Guess: 156 heads? Thanks for the upload, SO COOL to see how things are changing for you!!

NO! I NEED THOSE

I love all your new assets June! They’re so cool and absolutely suit you and this new era that we’re going through and I’m all for it! *\(^o^)/* I’m so happy to see you drawing Honkai Star Rail, I absolutely love the game and seeing Sparkle in your art style is just everything to me! I especially loved the redesign as well, I think you managed to keep the overall idea of Sparkle while still making it your own !! ٩(๑❛ᴗ❛๑)۶

NEW SETUP I LOVE YOU IT RAHHHHH

So we're finally starting to transition where we see the actual you now I have to admit personally I was always a little worried the direction you were going to take but now that I see your setup and hearing how more comfortable you sound I think you made the right choice. 😊 and I'll be here to watch your videos and support you Rea. 💜🌸❤️

june ur the best i adore ur art i'd love to see you do heavy rendering like old times and all the love goes to you i was depressed when you didn't post last one and your vids are addicting

I love how you wrote put the patrons when you couldn't say them! It shows how much you care about your patrons! (*^-^)

this is the most adhd video to ever adhd

RETURN OF THE KING!!! Absolutely adore everything! The new desk! The designs! The everything!

Ur art style is so charming idk what it is maybe its cause I’m also a sucker for colourful vibrant art heeeh

Thanks for making me want to play honkai again! And great job for messing with desgins, got me thinking about how flexible you can be with your artstyle!!

WOAHWOAHWOAHWOAH THE OFFICE THING AT THE START OMFG ITS SO BEUTIFUL

the rebrand is fire!!!!!!!!!!

okay, but I never even realised how much of an IMPACT you had on my art(and artstyle) like, I remember drawing in that really like.. semi realistic anime type of style for most of my days, but now I see that your art has been really infuencing me, and my character designs! EVEN MY INTERNET SONA, my sona(a star that took a shape of a human and now leads a cult of love, basicaly Jesus2.0) has their hair shape from your new mascot, but also I lately gave them a bit of a redesign, and it is very much not as detailed as it was before, and is very simple, yet interesting. also, my real sona, who is a demon in a puppets body, who is really devoted to the cult leader one, has his design so simple, and his hair looks like it was drawn by a mathematician. your art is glorious, and I see myself getting more and more infuenced by it. I just wanted to say(after that long rant), that you've been and are an inspiration to me, so I wanted to thank you

I WAS LITERALLY JUST REBINGING YOUR VIDEOS JUNEBUGGY!!!

*Lunges at youtube* YES MORE ART BY THE BEST KZreadR ARITST always worth the wait and absolute love every tiny but of detail to this video phenomenal job as always 😊

I love the new assets!

This was really interesting to look at! I'm not a big Hoyoverse fan, but i love how you designed her! I'm also curious what you use to edit your videos and how you do it, cuz they look SUPER cute and I'd love to do something similar if I'm ever brave enough to make art videos! That being said - I totally understand what you mean when art becomes a career. I've been struggling myself lately with me graduating soon for my sequential art BFA. I find I haven't drawn as much for fun anymore and have been steadily getting burnt out. I guess it's just something you gotta balance (something I'm trying to figure out myself).

WHOOOOO NEW JUNE VIDEOOOO!!!

Your style is beautiful

Yaaaaassssss two of my favs STARRAIL AND JUNE!!!!!

Sparkle actually isn't a gold fish, she's the representation of a "Red Herring". She's sneaky like the fox, misleading like the red herring, but you won't really care as she's beautiful and will pull you in like the sakura petals in Spring.

I don't like Sparkles as a character, but her character design is ADORABLE! I love it. And your re-design was amazing Imo

My biggest per peeve about HYV's character designs is always how OVERLY DETAILED so its always nice to see people simplify or even outright redesign these characters in a way that makes them feel more solid.

when i do my sketches, i usually put an ungodly amount of details into them, then when I get to inking i just go "yeah... I'm not gonna do that. I refuse to make myself suffer just to have the pants have sewing lines, and the gloves have texture."

glad to know im not the only artist suffering. Tried doing a genshin/hsr style study a while back and i gave up because the characters were. too complex. one day I'll finish em, not today.

Every time I see pigtails and a fox mask (Kitsune) I am reminded of MASA Designs and that song THE SONG

Love this masterpiece.

OMGGG YAYAYYYAYAYA POST!!!!!!

Really love the love/anguish scale concept, drawing what you want to and ignoring the tedious bits that would just drain motivation. Doesn't work for every situation but I don't work in those (or as an artist but that's not the point). The face drawing addiction is real and I'll default to it if I don't have any ideas. Idk who they are either.

this is very off topic but i love your new artstyle, it itches my brain the right way

ok one i LOOOOOOOOVE the new assets for the intro and outro bits LIKE???????/ THE COLORS????? THE STYLES?????? eating im eating them print them out on edible paper and put them in my mouth /pos but also!! i kno nothing of hoyoverses games but i love hearin ppl be passionate abt things they love so short form vids like this are just the best i love them also u are stronger than i because if a character exceeds a certain level of detail they Do Not get drawn s,dkjvb

Rea, this is great.

Yeeeeessss this is amazing!!
