    You mention in passing that there are other apps that in some ways surpass Realistic for watercolours - what apps were you thinking of?

  • @JWLearning
    @JWLearningКүн бұрын

    I think where Realistic Paint falls short with watercolours is simulated wet canvas/paper. As great as the results are, the watercolour brushes don't really feel like watercolours, where as the oil brushes feel a lot more authentic in how they behave. I would actually say the watercolours in Realistic Paint are closer to gouache paints. I've always found Corel Painter to have pretty good traditional watercolour functions, however it's always been very expensive software. I've also played around with Fresco from Adobe and even though I don't like the company it's hard to say anything bad about Frescos watercolour brushes. Rebelle is also another option, but again a bit on the pricer side. Haven't really used Artrage much, so not as familiar with their watercolours. That's just my experience though.

    Which would you recommend more between this and the head model studio app?

  • @soupbonep
    @soupbonep2 ай бұрын

    I was thinking about getting handy for the head studies, but the awkward lighting features you talk about are making me have second thoughts. I am at first going to just use one light source. Would you still recommend it? It's only three dollars U.S. and that is cheap. So, it sounds pretty good.

  • @JWLearning
    @JWLearning2 ай бұрын

    Personally, I don't think it's the best app for head models, but if cost is an issue it's got enough decent enough quality head models to practice with. For hands it's great however. The lighting features are not the best or the most intuitive, but you do get the hang of it, awkward as it is. If you're looking for another head model app, I just released another video review on another app called 'Head Study'. It's a little pricier than Handy Art Tool, but the quality of the head sculpts are very good.

    Hello there, thank you for pointing out the links were missing. The classes are available on Gumroad for outright purchase, or on Skillshare to stream. There's a Skillshare free trial link to use if you wish. Only thing I would suggest is if you sign up through the free Skillshare trial to cancel before it expires (2 weeks I think). They sometimes charge people automatically for full subscription the moment the trail ends.

    How does it compare to Magicposer? I am trying to decide between the two

  • @JWLearning
    @JWLearning4 ай бұрын

    Both have unique features that makes them really hard to compare. Pose It has the advantage with its lighting conditions, but Magic Poser has the advantage with its realistic figures. Pose It is a little more difficult to pose with, but Magic Poser as some bugs when puppeteering its model. If figure drawing is the more important aspect for you then I would probably look to Magic Poser because of the realistic figures. PoseIt is great for a basic pose reference and excellent for lighting, but comes up short on anatomy, so it's probably a more useful tool for more advanced artists. If you haven't seen it, I have a review of Magic Poser also on my channel. Let me know if that helps!

    About the creation of the manekin, you CAN IMPORT it after you save it. There’s a button to do that. Also for the crash, it does happens in my ipad 9 but not on ipad pro m1. Perhaps this is related to RAM, since Clip Studio Paint tends to crash when you are having some 3D models (like diorama asset from clip studio asset) as entry level iPad has low RAM.

  • @JWLearning
    @JWLearning5 ай бұрын

    Hi there! Which button is it? If there's an import to scene icon the developers have hidden it. I don't know why it says the models can only be used in the 'workshop' mode if that's the case. I'm using a 2021 iPad Pro, the last one before the M1 chips, so it's clearly an issue for anything before the M1's.

    ​@@JWLearning From Home screen, click the manekin human button above the mask (below the lightbulb), then there'd be a gold colored icon, click it. Now in manekin creation mode, click the manekin button on the top left side, you can see there's all default manekin available in this app from Moku which is wood to werewolf to the right. Above Moku there's a manekin with eyedrop, ON THE RIGHT OF THAT ICON, there's a FOLDER icon you click it and you can save manequine or load saved manekin. Assuming you have created a custom manekin, for example I combine the female default manekin and anime manekin for certain part like head and resize it. Then I want to model it as reference for my drawing. I go back to home screen after the custom manekin is saved by clicking the exit button on top right. You can click on your default male figure in front of you, then click manekin button on the left side, there'd be 6 button comes up, click the one BESIDE THE PLUS button. There'd be a list of 8 default manekin. On top of Adam there's 2 icon, click the STAR icon, now you will see a SAVED CUSTOM Manekin. Click on one of them. Here you go.

    Hello! I used google translate so hopefully I understood the question. You can change the DPI by selecting the 'create custom' option when you create a new document. When you export the image it should save as the DPI you set. Maximum file size is 5000 x 5000 pixels, so you will have to use upscaling software if you want something bigger. Let me know if that helps!

    Hey JW, I was wondering would your beginner full course be a good starting point for someone who wants to do semi realistic and anime character designs?

  • @JWLearning
    @JWLearning Жыл бұрын

    Hello there! Thanks for your inquiry. The course isn't necessarily designed with anime or cartoons in mind, however all the principles explained throughout the course are more or less what you would learn from doing anime or comic book studies, just for more realistic illustration. The main difference being that anime focuses a bit more on simplfied shapes, exaggerated proportions and more line work. The basic principles of drawing anime figures however is not really that much different from more realistic figures. The real advantage of doing a more realistic figure drawing course is that you develop a much broader understanding of how to draw the body, and if you know someone who's looking at drawing for a career having that extra knowledge will be look on favourably by potential employers. So I would say this course is friendly for many styles of figure drawing, not just realistic figures. Let me know if that answers your questions! :)

  • @JWLearning
    @JWLearning Жыл бұрын

    @@lunarex2731 Hi again, I'll answer both questions here. As for how long you should stay on a class before moving on, what I would suggest doing is familiarising yourself with the ideas and concepts presented in each lesson first before moving onto the next. It's not super important that you draw perfectly, its more important that you're understanding what the concepts and ideas are. If you can start to explain the ideas and concepts to another person, that's a good sign you've got it. The actually execution of the drawings, how realistic or proportionally correct they are, that comes down more to time and practice. Consider the first couple of lessons an introduction to understanding your 'artistic toolbox'. As for whether you should draw along, most lessons are broken up into three parts - lecture, demonstrations and student exercise. The student exercise is actually broken up into two parts - your attempt at the assignment first, followed by my attempt at the same assignment. The reason I do the assignment as well is to hopefully help you figure out where you may have gone wrong. So I would say write down the lecture notes, watch along with the demonstrations, draw the class exercise no matter how good or bad it turns out, then draw along with my attempt at the class exercise. Let me know if that helps! :)
