"It is a field" cracked me up so much! Out of all the drawfers, his humor is closest to mine. And they're all pretty close tbh, but the venn diagram of my sense of humor and his is basically like an eclipse.
Given that the last episode was "We literally just made Karina draw hot monsters for 40 minutes" and this one is "I made myself draw backgrounds every day for a week", it can be inferred that in the Drawfee canon, every video title is spoken from Jacob's perspective.

It's so easy to forget that Jacob is colourblind when he busts out works that, even as he says he's not confident, are amazingly executed. Jacob is overcoming a bigger hurdle than most visually capable artists, and rocking it.
@elvinfp
Жыл бұрын
Omg, I always forget that Jacob is red-green colorblind! Judging by his art, the colorblindness seems not to hold him back at all, but I do wonder now about his mental process for color picking and how he feels about his color choices, if he second-guesses himself a lot or not. He's talked a bit about it before, but I swear, even then, it's hard to believe that Jacob isn't working with the same visual palette as the rest of the crew.
@MercurialJester
Жыл бұрын
@@elvinfp As I said, it's super easy to forget simply because Jacob's just a talented dude, and just gets the job done. I think in the episode where they drew in shades of red, he talked about it, and it's mostly knowing where the colours are on the wheel, and then playing with values if needing a particular tone. But since it's such second nature to him now, we barely blink as there's no hint that he's working with a reduced palette at all. The average person stumbling over a Jacob art would never know, and I think that's really cool.

I'm back four months later to finally watch this video, and this was precisely the comment I needed to see. Thanks for sharing that
So, about at the 9:35 mark, Julia says "It's hard to work on something you don't have a lot of confidence in" and, I literally just today finished a big project for my PhD that I struggled with so much and did a lot of procrastinating on, and just that phrase (and Jacob's follow up about knowing you'll probably mess up at some point) oddly hit so hard. In a comforting way. This is just a very long way to say how I have now found a phrase/logical thinking pathway that will probably help me a lot when I'm struggling with work. It was unexpected, and I'm definitely watching when I should be sleeping, but it is actually really comforting to think about.

If you do a landscape challenge, it might be fun to have one of you do a foreground, someone else do a midground, and a third do the distant background without knowing what the other two were doing. Maybe everyone knows the landscape theme so it's somewhat cohesive. Might get some neat results.

As someone who is still very much in the amateur range of art, it is super cool to see really good artists still perfecting their ranges! There really is no limit, there is always something to learn.

Also I started writing this during the last drawing finishing and now you all are talking about how I should comment. It is a very meta and surreal experience.

I guess my best tip is to just draw bodies without expecting a masterpiece and following the motto of "kill your art"... I'm by no means the greatest anatomy artist, but im slowly improving. And i gotta tell you, drawing shitty drawings is the best way to do so. Sometimes even try and experiment with trying to draw somebody with your left hand or right hand, with your eyes closed, without looking at the paper.... Just to draw for fun and also study people that are more experienced in what you wanna improve... Hope it helps, and we are all taking it one step at the time and doing hard things we are kinda scared (for me, its also backgrounds) Good luck!

backgrounds are everything to me. I love that you chose to pursue this for a whole week. This was wonderful and I hope to see more backgrounds from everyone
Jacob needs to know that these are all badass backgrounds. I'm glad he decided to do this, and I'd love more videos of Drawfee just exploring in their art. I'd watch a Geoguesser episode too though
Shout out to Jacob. As a fellow background-hating artist this is some impressive dedication to improvement
22:00 "where should i apply texture" an art teacher mentioned once that "all texture put in the places with the least contrast in value will be lost, so ONLY WASTE YOUR TIME WITH IT IN KEY PARTS WHERE THE EYE IS DRAWN TO THE LIGHT AND DARK CONTRAST" and he changed my life. So in the case of jacobs exercise here it should have heavy texture on the light road marks against the dark ground and then later on the dark tree branches next to the light fog. The rest the eye is not gonna register or care about.
as someone who also struggles with backgrounds, this is so helpful - to see the progression from pulling from life to other art, great edutainment from y'all!

I would LOVE to see more crazy training montage/technique study videos like this from other drawfee members and even more awesome background practice from Jacob.

You can tell Jacob is always putting that work in to make his art better and to make Drawfee/SSS as good as possible and I think that’s really admirable.
I really appreciate this video. Id definitely love to see more like it. It's always so cool to see the learning processes of these talented artists that I respect and admire so much. And makes me feel parasocially proud of Jacob for pushing out of his comfort zone and absolutely rocking this challenge!
I loved this! I like the goofy episoes, of course, but I do love it when yall talk about your thought process as artists
For the geoguesser challenge you could collab with one of those content creators who plays geoguesser and guesses where it is based on tiny details. They could try to guess based on your drawings of the locations.

Ooohh that would be cool! They could make it as detailed or stylized as they want, making it easier or harder for the geoguesser

Karina does painterly aged celebrity portraiture every day for a week, Nathan does Kopinski-esque scene setting for a week, and Julia does character design sheets for a week. Seeing very skilled artists actively work on their weaknesses is good to see, as it teaches that one never really stops improving
This was a great episode! It's great to see how Jacob approached this new skill, and to have a reminder that you don't get better without challenging yourself. I'd love to see more like this, and it would be a great way for y'all to get extra mileage out of your regular practice.
I would love to see more processes from everyone!! This was super cool, they all looked awesome and hearing about Jacob's steps was really interesting and helpful!
I would love a stream of everyone just doing studies of things they’ve been trying to get better at. This concept is really nice
Obligatory "I'd love to see the other hosts do this" because I really would love to see the rest of ya'll do this challenge, but with a twist! Pick an art subject that you're terrified of doing, and do studies of it for a week just like Jacob did. Would be nice to see everyone else's progression cuz Jacob did a fantastic job with this one - can't wait to see more background work from him in the next speedraws!
this was such a cool idea! i would love to see more of this, i'd love to see all of them doing more backgrounds, i like when they're given a prompt and have to do something with it, like a description of a place, real or fictional, to interpret
This was great. Whatever y'all do for the next episode and all of 'em after that, I'm here for it
Ok but this is legitimately inspirational. It's easy to keep always putting off practicing the areas you find difficult, but it's worth it in the end. Also it's cool seeing Jacob put his own style into these studies and interpret each one in different ways. As someone who tends toward realistic/representational drawing, I want to take a leaf out of Jacob's stylisation book!
I love the dynamic of Julia and Jacob's relationship, they are such opposites in so many ways
This was my first episode of Drawfee, and is still 100% my favourite after a few months of watching you guys. It's after watching this that I started regularly drawing! PLEASE make more stuff like this! I love background work a lot, and these sort of personal progression videos are really inspiring!! :)
This has actually been one of my favourit videos you made in quite a while. I love your speed draw episodes in general, because they show so much more progression in a short time. I am really happy with your decision to give entire episodes to one person, because I feel like it gives you more time to explore a single thing in detail without the pressure to not take away time from others. I think this shouldn't be the standard for all videos, but the frequence of those videos you have right now is nice. It is always great to see you guys challanging yourselfe to improve and doing 7 images in one video allowed you to explore the topic from many different angles. For me this has been all good things coming together... and getting away from technical reasons the backgrounds you drew looked beatifull as well! Great work! I would really like to see something like this again in the future.
Jacob i think this is one of your many strengths, to really (as Julia would phrase it) show your whole ass. It takes a lot of self confidence to show off something you're proud of. And here you are showing all you're least favourite things you say you're struggling with? It's something I really appreciate. Thanks for being you 🌟

Truly! He's a great artist, but one of his biggest strengths is his very intentional view on practicing!

I really really loved seeing this. I'm an artist myself, and seeing someone tackle a thing they were insecure about and seeing their process is super motivating to me! Makes me want to sit down and get studying as well. Also some genuine pearls of wisdom in this, like the "I usually prefer pose and character work because it's quick to go from nothing to something, whereas in backgrounds, it only starts looking like something proper later on".
Yes, I definitely would love to see more of this! Jacob's journey is so cool to watch.
These were all stellar but I truly loved the second one. It really had Jacob vibes with the strong, funky shapes and the lighting was so pleasant and it just felt so fun and warm
I'm loving all these individual episodes! It's great to get a focus on each of you as artists and see how your process is different. It also gives me a chance to really appreciate each of you :)
I really really really liked seeing you work on your backgrounds. Not only did I learn a ton by watching you tackle this, but it inspired me to work on my own backgrounds as someone who is also inclined towards focusing on characters and emotion.
Would absolutely LOVE to see more of this. So fun!
I think Jacob's approach here has radically changed the way I think about my own practicing. I usually get very stuck in a "this must be a perfect reproduction" so I want to try to use some of these exercises to jump that hurdle and free myself up stylistically. Thanks for that ❤
I can't explain it, but this feels like the one of the most Drawfee episodes that Drawfee has ever Drawfee-d
I love seeing growth and practice videos! These look great and the commentary on what you learned was insightful! I'd love to see more of your backgrounds and the others' practice areas!

I'm sure textures would be an interesting challenge in itself. Perhaps do as the 3d shader showcases do: make a sphere of the texture next to an object or scene with that texture.
That Geoguessr/Background situation sounds like a great stream idea
