50 Digital Art Tips in 5 Minutes

40) correction PNG only, Jpg LOSES quality with each save, so unless you intententionally wanna make it so the bes tpossible quality comes from you directly use Png

All the tips in this video are great, except for this one (2:14). No matter how hard it is to draw the other eye, try to fix it, don't hide it. The same thing happens with hands. No matter how hard it is to draw hands, try to do it. I personally suck at drawing hands, but every day I draw at least 5 hand poses. I know that if I keep doing it, I'll get so much better at drawing hands.

My personal tip. If you're having an artblock and you don't know what to draw? Draw something stupid and over exaggerated art/pose this sometimes gave you happy mistakes and ideas and you'll be back to normal in no time

I gotta say, at 2:30 it's not actually a bad thing if your lineart ISNT a consistent size. Using line weight can sometimes really improve the look of your work if you do it right c:

The only thing I disagree on is the tip about tracing, as long as you don't pass others art off as your own tracing can help with muscle memory. Personally, it's helped me tons.

Love the video! I'd like to say that tracing another person's artwork (2:48) isn't an ineffective practice. If you're not thrilled about how your art style looks and across the table someone has jaw-dropping work, observing, referencing, and tracing are all good ways to "take notes" per se, and pick up on nuances you otherwise might've missed. (Never claim the traced artwork to be an original piece and avoid posting it at all if the artist hasn't consented.) It's a teaching device :D One that shouldn't be over-relied on nor expected to produce beautiful art. Thank you for all the awesome tips

4:12 this applies to all programs. If the bucket tool doesn't work as intended for you, just disable anti-aliasing and there wouldn't be white lines when using the bucket anymore. This makes your drawing less blurry and if you are working on a low resolution, your drawing might look pixelated, so is up to you disabling it or not.

0:32 that felt more like a roast than an art tip 😭

Here some corrections: - ALWAYS try to draw hands and the other eye, if you keep evading them, you wont ever know how to draw them. - drawing with a mouse is NOT wrong It will be way slower but still possible to draw good

Kinda hard to do an art tips video because everyone has their own way of doing art, but I like how brief the video was. Few little complaints though: 1. If you can't draw hands, learn to draw hands, don't try to hide them because it will just make things worse (and that goes with anything art wise). 2. If you can't draw 2 eyes, try to simplify them into shapes first. Draw the lines across the face, add the shapes that best represent the eyes you want to draw, and then add the details on top. The shapes almost acts as a guide as you draw the eyes because it allows your brain to focus on the important bits of the eye instead of the whole eye. 3. The thickness of the line-art depends on the style you're going for. Thinner lines does not equal better art Bonus tip: Drawings don't have to follow realism or some kind of norm. Experiment with the medium, try things no one else dares to do, fuck around with lines, shapes, and colours because you might find something really cool in that mess (like coloured line-art). Bonus bonus tip: It's good to copy other artists work (without tracing or stealing of course). Doing so will allow you to learn how an artist created their art, and you can see a bunch of little nuances in their work that you yourself can use to further improve your own art. Plus, you can turn it into some cool fan-art once you're done.

Honestly I really love the “without reference” horse. With a little cleaning it could look like a really good stylized horse

If your drawing with a mouse DONT :D

Finally a bunch of tips in a short video that is straight to the point Tracing CAN be a good way to understand how things work, but it doesn’t work for everyone and it’s easy to be too dependent on tracing. Don’t always hide the eye unless it’s part of the design, but if you REALLY can’t be bothered, just copy and paste the eye on a new layer, invert, then horizontally squish it and tilt it. If it got blurry, just trace over that new eye on a another new layer. I wish I knew about that trick when I was 11, but somehow I knew that always drawing the bangs would be a problem in the future.

Tips Number 51. Accept criticism! Just because someone criticizes your work doesn't mean they hate it. If you can't handle criticism, then don't post your work.

"learn color theory" great tip, man wow

That was seriously the most helpful and straight to the point video I saw so far✨

3:41 The chicken scratches for sketching can be a style on its own. You don’t necessarily need a clean sketch if you are going to use it to make clean lineart.

I want to add that tip 31 (2:33) is a very easy way to get stuck with stiff designs. You want the silhouette to work WITH the anatomy, and spending too much time on what is essentially a base can take away from that. It can be a good starting point for beginners, but after an understanding of anatomy is reached, silhouettes are the way to go when sketching.

THANK YOUUUUUUUUU I BEEN LOOKING FOR A VIDEO LIKE THIS FOR EVERRRRRR!!!!!!! Ahhhhh this is SO HELPFUL great job

Now this is a tips. No long explanation, straight to the point ☝️ thank you sm
