A good thing to note is that throughout this process of figuring out what you SPECIFICALLY want out of drawing stuff, you end up realizing what skills you need to build that personal vision in your head, and THAT's when art fundamentals come into play. A lot of teachers and other artists tell you a lot to study fundamentals first, which they aren't wrong on, but it's usually stated very vaguely, and doesn't take into account what YOU specifically want from drawing. So it ends up feeling more as a unnecessary chore than actually being a super helpful training method to get what you want. That's why I'd say that figuring out your artistic purpose and tastes first is a good idea, not only as a way to train up your observation and analytical skills, but it eventually leads you to a more directed path to studying stuff like draftsmenship(lines), 3d construction, etc. For example: If I realized that I value emotional expression, simplifed, solid forms, and just a more cartoony feeling in my art, it would then lead me to value studying stuff like line control, the principles of design, 3d forms and perspective, and facial/pose expressions from people, stuff that will LEAD me to that end.

Absolutely! I struggled in art class for this exact reason! I think learning a lot of basics can be helpful for people who aren’t sure where they want to start. But, it can also end up limiting artists who already want to go in a specific direction. So, making those decisions upfront is super helpful for guiding us into the learning method that applies to our art style! Thanks so much for pointing this out! :D

honestly the “✨QUIRKYYY✨” made this video very fun to watch. thank you for this tutorial! ill be saving this for future use :)

@@lydnorth aaa thank you !!! ;▽; I’m really glad you found it informative !!

I would personally say that "finding a unique art style" isn't the main goal here, but to cultivate artistic purpose, maximizing genuine fun out of drawing stuff, and minimizing elements that aren't enjoyable to you. An art style naturally comes out from this process anyways, so there's no real point in worrying you won't get one, for those of you potentially getting bent out of shape over it. I'd say the video itself focuses on those elements quite well! You get to the point on how someone would organize their thoughts and drives to get to what they want out of their art, which I appreciate. Though, I would lean more towards the Scott McCloud Pyramid of artistic interpretation, rather than the one slider you put out, but the intent is still there.

this was a really nice video and also a helpful tip video! I kinda see art styles as watermarks as it can identify certain artists.

Woahh! Your style is amazing, i adore it. I was so shocked to see this video didnt have more views, i cant wait to see more content from you :] keep up the good work

I have 2 very different art styles. My normal one is cartoony and quite stylized with bright colors the other one’s more realistic with muted colors and a lot of blending and shading I use the more cartoony one for less serious art and as a normal art style and the other one for more serious and scary stuff

W video. Honestly its always bothered me a little bit that my style varies a little. But I guess that isn’t a bad thing. Also i drew my pfp and i think it reflects my personality and stuff quite well😂

Just swagscribed! Brilliant way of wording it 😂

ahhh love this! especially from someone with such a distinct style this is awesome content 🤩

I really enjoy your energy in this vid it’s actually really awsome and even though I kinda have a grasp on finding my style, your video is one of the best style vids I’ve watched (didn’t mean to rant to much 😅)

Yo this video absolutely helped me so much! Thank you so much and keep up the good work.☺️

One of the best tuts ive watched in a while :3, art styles beautiful how do do that shape thick line art?

@Fruityume

Ай бұрын

I have two ways of doing it! One way is by drawing thinner lineart first, and then creating another layer (sometimes underneath the color layer), where I outline the drawing with the thickness I want. The second way is by drawing the lineart as it’s own shape and then filling it in, rather than drawing actual lines. (I used this second way for the Rarity example)! Tysm !! ^^

Copying is often the beginning of developing your style into something, and that is one way to go about it! I used to copy Pokémon as a kid, but when I look back on it, it doesn’t ever feel like “mine.” So, I’m glad you found a way to train, and eventually evolve your style! like a pokemon! (｡•̀ᴗ-)✧
