GOD DAMN I love you. So weird that art communities online don't take this seriously You can make unimpressive looking designs but a great composition can save the image
When I first found you and saw your titles, I literally thought you were gonna be those "ALRIGHT, NO BULLSHIT, THIS IS WHAT'S WRONG AND THIS IS HOW YOU FIX IT" kind of youtubers, but you're literally so sweet.
Hi I'm aNXIETY u see that art u worked really hard on but aren't satisfied with??! Let's get SUPER DEMOTIVATED and AVOID dRAWING becAUSE of that ONE. BAD. PIECE OF ART. uwu Okay bye for now~~ ;3 have fun not drawing
Golden ratio and a rule of thirds are tools used to help composition. I'm not sure how to properly describe it,so you're better off googling it yourself
@@cheesestealingfox3381 the rule of thirds is one of the most important parts of composition - most artists use it unintentionally. you basically split your canvas/paper into three, vertically and/or horizontally, and that shows where it would be best to put your elements. it's hard to explain without visuals (so ur better off googling it whoops) but imagine a painting of an ocean and pink and purple sunset - the piece would look best if the ocean was in the bottom third, the pink was in the middle, and the purple was in the top as it would be the most balanced. if you wanted to add a focal point (the point where the viewers eyes go to first and is most noticeable) it would look best in the centre of ur piece. hope this helped!
I love this series so much!! Most tutorials are so vague just like ‘do this’ and doesn’t really explain why, which is why yours is so helpful, you give an example with a few mistakes and then tell us ow to fix it and why it makes it look better! I’m so glad I’ve found this channel as my art has majorly improved since!
This is a really helpful video because usually when I draw it just ends up like a hot mess when I try to add colour or other things to my picture and it doesn’t all fit together and gets crowded so this is really helpful lol also SHES SO CLOSE TO ONE MILLION LETS MAKE IT HAPPEN GUYS
Have u noticed how she draws hands? They look like adventure time, while if that's what you want to learn, most people really don't... I'd recommend Jim lee (on a channel called VZA) for drawing hands
I don't think she is really the person to teach you drawing hands.... Look at her artstyle! Best thin is to just study photos/life and try to break it up into simpler shapes
I like how if you take most of LavenderTowne's "DRAW THIS, NOT THAT" thumbnails out of context, really the only caption you can give them is, "lol get good noob"
This is so good for me because I am a young artist wanting to learn more about the littlest things about art this is great good job I would say ❤️❤️❤️😊😊
Your videos just go by so quickly, like I always feel like I've only watched 3 min but in reality it has already been 12 min, idk you just make them so interesting and captivating
oh my GOD, I love you and your videos so much Ive been watching you for such a long time now-- You're legit my fav channel of all time and I get so damn happy when you upload, you inspire me to make my own videos and keep on growing as an artist! I'm so PROUD of how far you have come, can't wait till you hit 1 mil!! You deserve it!!!!
Is it just me that wants to run to grab my sketchbook when you watch LavenderTowne drawing?!? You are so good! And I really want to use each of these tips now!
Honestly I love that you make videos like this that help out artists, it helps us out and with videos like yours, we learn the rules before were able to break them to improve our art.
I have just re-watched your first "do this, not that" video and it's sooo good to see how much you've grown! I always look forward to seeing new videos and you never ever disappoint 💕 You are a big inspiration and for that I'd like to thank you from the bottom of my tiny heart 😅💕💕
Sorry if Trivia Crack is really popular or something and I'm just stupid but... What is it? I have never heard of Trivia Crack. Is it a fandom? Show? Movie?
I know it's weird to give criticism about on a video about composition. But the right side of the cover could use another three further in the background to help center the whole shabang
My friend Abby asked about how I draw cartoon well and I told her to watch your do this, not that series! I get inspired a lot by your art and your tips have helped me a lot, thanks Hailey.
I just realized that a fanart of Planchette, V4Flower (with the character design from "Appetite of a People Pleaser") and Willow from the Owl House would look so awesome... Maybe I should do that (if fanart is allowed, of course).
Your voice is so soothing I love to just play random playlist of yours while I draw and just listen to you talk even if I don't watch the video Thanks for the quality content !!
When I started learning photography I first learned about composition- especially the rule of thirds. And, it really applies to everything- drawing/painting, film, photography... composition is sooo important
Seeing you almost hit 1mil subs makes me feel a bit nostalgic. I’ve been following you since nearly the beginning of your “draw this, not that” series. That’s when I started to learn to draw, your advice really helped me out a ton when I was a beginner and I often still refer back to them! Thank you for helping me improve with my art 💜
Can you draw different snake species as people.I think they are the most beautiful, fearful and misunderstood creatures,perfect for inspiring art.thank you for reading this and thank you for what you do :)
recently ive been thinking about how the style of your content changed a lot, so im really glad you made this video i really miss these types of videos
I just read your entire Unfamiliar comic and it's one of the sweetest things i've ever seen... I'll be making Babs fanart for sure I love her sm :c congrats and I can't wait to read more˜
This one helps a lot because usually I try to make my characters not to look and the screen and make them look bigger than the background and this episode helps me to not do that mistake/error thanks lavendertowne :D
i love your videos but this is really out of the "Draw this not that" format that is absolutely incredibly helpful i felt like this was rushed, Just my opinion but i would love to see you redo this type of video, doing the two seperate illustrations examples , this was just more of just a "draw with me while i talk about composition"
Could you possibly do a do this not that on character design? Maybe covering things like how to match personality and design as well as how to determine poses and background elements that could go well with the character?
I started reading Unfamillar and I like it so far. It has a nice color pallete and humor to it that reminds me of Bone. I struggle with char design, backgrounds, and any art that's not just replication, so videos like this on the fundamentals are always appreciated.

You can make unimpressive looking designs but a great composition can save the image
Onemanshowoff you can save an unimpressive design with great composition, to put it into better words
@BentheCookie It sounds clearer though.
@@dalmationgamer1234 Yo he did make it grammatically correct
Exactly you can also do great amazing details and designs but if the composition isn't right the whole image is gonna feel off
@@Onemanshowoff actually, both are grammatically correct. One is just worded differently than the other.
Unrelated to composition; Planchette without her hat is actually hella cute
Ikr
Isn't she always though.
counter point: Planchette is always hella cute
Everything she draws is cute
SHES SO ADORBALE AAA
this was uploaded when i. was struggling to draw
you’ve summoned me
Nice profile pic

Syd Dino aww poor u

y'all on sum
I had an art teacher who would say" know the rules first, then you can break them" on composition
The fact that the comments say “2 hours ago” instead of “2 months/years ago” I feel accomplished.
Lmao, im so happy the comments r saying 1yr ago
Ooh! I loved this video! It’s great hearing important advice like this! I appreciate it! Great video, Lavender!
Well! It’s lavendertowne! I always know that her videos are going to be great! It’s not hard to know that! 🤗🤗🤗
Done! Just finished the vid! It was really useful!

FANTASTIC MR. FOX IS MY GO TO MOVIE WHEN I HAVE NOTHING TO WATCH SNDNDKDSKFKS ITS MY ABSOLUTE FAVORITE
isn’t fantastic mr fox sorta well known? like not super popular but most people have seen it
I knew about it but I hated it so much when i was younger 🤧
(Still do 😅)
I feel like you should've also talked about golden ratio and rule of thirds
Lieutenant Lemons maybe you can explain? I have never heard of the golden ratio or the rule of thirds. And I would like to know about it.
Golden ratio and a rule of thirds are tools used to help composition. I'm not sure how to properly describe it,so you're better off googling it yourself
Lieutenant Lemons thanks for clarifying! I will look into it!thanks a lot!
@@cheesestealingfox3381 the rule of thirds is one of the most important parts of composition - most artists use it unintentionally. you basically split your canvas/paper into three, vertically and/or horizontally, and that shows where it would be best to put your elements.

Is the rule of thirds thing the thing where you imagine a tic tac toe graph on a picture?
Here before lavendertowne hits one Million! You're so close, really exited for you!
She has it now heh
Lazyplanets ye!
At the end of each school week I get a Lavendertowne video
It’s the only thing keeping me going
Edit:you gonna do a 1 MILLION subscriber special
I rlly hope she does a special!

I’m so glad I’ve found this channel as my art has majorly improved since!
LavenderTowne: ya it’s super easy just plan ahead, like overlay rough colors on top of the drawing
Traditional artists:
thumbnails and rough copies are very useful
This is a really helpful video because usually when I draw it just ends up like a hot mess when I try to add colour or other things to my picture and it doesn’t all fit together and gets crowded so this is really helpful lol also SHES SO CLOSE TO ONE MILLION LETS MAKE IT HAPPEN GUYS
Can you please do a draw this, not that on a) Hands, dreaded hands or b) eyes?
I need help with hands and getting eyes to be even. Drawing eyes symmetrically is super hard, even with guidelines
Have u noticed how she draws hands? They look like adventure time, while if that's what you want to learn, most people really don't...
I'd recommend Jim lee (on a channel called VZA) for drawing hands
*Especially* hands.
I don't think she is really the person to teach you drawing hands.... Look at her artstyle! Best thin is to just study photos/life and try to break it up into simpler shapes
Look up sinix, he has a good tutorial on theanatomy of hands
I like how if you take most of LavenderTowne's "DRAW THIS, NOT THAT" thumbnails out of context, really the only caption you can give them is, "lol get good noob"

@@jizzlover420 they were saying that this is great (comma) good job
Mark Crilley has an amazing composition video
@literally all replies it was a joke mate, chill out. i didn't mean to offend anyone.
Make Emotions into drawings. Example: say you are doing sad, look up sad colors and the first 3 colors, you use them to make a sad drawing
And maybe make it a series
Someone add on to what I am meaning
I can't wait until the following of Unfamiliar, I'm in love with the story, universe and characters
Ideas: Pokemon as cute girls or boys and IT by the book ( Chapter 1 or 2)
Edit : Congrats on 1 mil, you deserve this and more.
Your videos just go by so quickly, like I always feel like I've only watched 3 min but in reality it has already been 12 min, idk you just make them so interesting and captivating
Thank you for your knowledge, art mother. You always help me want to continue drawing and keeping up on improving.
These are wonderful tips. I've been trying to figure out more about composition lately. Also, I love the cover!
I really love how you show knowing 'art rules' is beneficial because you can then break them in order to convey certain feelings etc
Why are people saying that helped me so much and great video when it was posted 13 seconds ago
•Pearlescent Dragon• lol even at the beginning! It was great! Also, just finished it! Amazing!

I like it when lavender works on her comic and gets to make a video, it just means more content for us with a bit less work for her
I know it's weird to give criticism about on a video about composition. But the right side of the cover could use another three further in the background to help center the whole shabang
yeah I don't actually like the composition of the page, and the water bubble thing doesn't really look like a floating water bubble to me convincingly
I really liked it, art is subjective though so everyone likes different things 🤷♂️
