Everyone else: "Yeah i got better since I drew this."
Julia: "I have ascended like, five layers of existence since I made this."
In comparison to the other guys? Yes but I think Julia might have drawn it in at a later point in her life in, on top of that she specifically chose this one, that doesn't necessarily mean it's her oldest.
That's in defence of the other three who really started from their darker beginnings.
@@DreamerFromTheDepths - It's pretty similar to Nathan's drawing.
@@lettuceprime4922 I guess Nathan's the one who made the most improvements.
(This next edit is a little bit long, but I think I could explain what I mean better with this.)
(It's not really about how many years passed, it's more about how much they improved since they were drawn, outside of Julia we have faint implications of when they were drawn, Nathan drew his six years ago, Jacob drew his before that, and Karina drew hers when she was a teenager, out of them all I think Karina and Jacob improved the most, out of them all Julia improved the least, because as said before, it was a style change, not an improvement, Julia herself mentions that she liked the drawing she picked and just wanted to draw it again, it's not necessarily breaking the rules, but it does make her look better than everyone else.)
@@DreamerFromTheDepths im like, really late to this but I'm watching this video again & going through the comments soo yea
But yea, Julia definitely has the least stylistic change in hers & it does make her look better. But what I think has happened is that her techniques have changed, not much the style. Which is also a valid improvement just not as visual.
My style hasn't really changed during the past year, but I've evolved in other ways. Now i actually have an idea how to do digital art :")
So, am I the only one who prefers Julia's original? The remake was neat, but there were a lot of errors in anatomy, especially considering how much effort went into it.
there's a middle school Phase, where you literally just draw an eye, a singular eye
YES. So much yes. I have so many schoolbooks with just random eyes in the margins.
i still do that from time to time........
this is SO true... and sometimes, I still do this
Dont call old me out like that, man
Yes! Extra points if it *is* connected to a face, but said face is much less detailed than the eye, and obviously was drawn on afterwards.
I can just hear "Everytime we Touch" radiating from Karina's drawing
Shit, that's perfect haha
Fr? Im thinking Pika Girl Nightcore
Kaizo Nerdtaku the nightcore version.
a remix or the original song?
Personally I had “Bad boy” vibes
When Julia mentioned “did any of us do sketches before we started drawing? No we started with the face and went from there” and I just had a MASSIVE flashback to my days in the 7th grade, and remembering how the only reason I started doing a sketch is because some rando on my Wattpad account said to.
The only reason I started adding basic anatomy sketches to the start of my drawings was "Hey, the speedpainters on UA-cam do it, so it must be how good art happens"
I was the 69th like
This is a whole ass mood but for me it was doing anatomy sketches and studies and now I still basically do the whole draw the face first and go from there except now I know how bodies work and how to connect things
Still in school- proud to be doing anatomy sketches
Using airbrush
Noodle arms are common
But I’m G A Y so non of that “hetro nonsense”
Funny cuz I only even did chicken scratch sketches
"I like to think of it as like, doing little Fanarts for my younger self"
Stop. thats too wholesome. STOP.
Ikr! I was like "awwwww Karina you're so cute"
......guess Julia doesn't like giving fanart for her younger self 😂😅
im the same way tho
I kind of assumed everyone thinks like that... I always think "man, younger me would find me so cool" and "I'll be so cool when I'm older"
For me its more of flexing on my younger self HAHA
How about drawfee redraws Karinas weird stuff from when she was younger
but only from Karina's description
Payton Johnson DUDE THAT WOULD BE SO COOOL!!! To see Karnina’s old art in each of their styles!!!
yes please
YES WE NEED IT
YEEEA
Julia complementing Nathan on getting rid of the line, while he knows he'll be drawing it back in later but saying nothing is just the best representation of my social life.
Aww I felt so bad when I realised he still did that! But she complimented his colour choices later anyway, which was nice.
I actually don't think that's the line she was referring to! I think she meant the line that showed the shape of the demon's head within the horn, not the line at the base of the horn
I thought she was referring to the original drawing where one of the horns (the right one) had a base line (it shouldn’t have had it because it was coming out the other side of the head)
Or she could be referring to the base line of the horn in the redraw
What do I know?
i could feel Julia's judgment through youtube
Dale Brown
Please dont feel undermined by my comment. I tend to say stuff very strangely. Sometimes i have to act out a conversation
In any case, let’s just let compliment slide
just imagine Kyle comes back from the military and wants to see what his friends from college are doing and he comes across this and its just 3 people he does not know and Jacob calling him a hunk.
BWHAHAHAHSJDND PLEASE-
He'd be so confused 💀😭
Then he’ll be a BEEFY hunk. Kyle the hunk we don’t know, but we’re all down to agree he’s a hunk, regardless.
LOL
I'd rather not, thank you very much! XD
Julia's original looks like an acoustic indie band cover
Ethanagor S-D it really does
My GOODNESS!
You think she took some inspiration from Samurai Jack with the wolf head style?
Kind of
Julia And The Wolf
Julia: i like that you removed the line on the horns
Nathan: *sweats nervously*
Ahahahaha yeaa
I was hoping that someone mentioned this 😂
@@samasokkar5189 i was looking for some comment to mention it everytime I visit this video.
sorry I'm new, what does this reference?
@@felix56p it's at the start of the video when he nathan was drawing, she said that she likes that he removed the line between the horns unlike the original piece but he didn't remove it he added it after
Now, Karina describes an image from her Deviant Art, and the others try to draw it without seeing it.
Like the stock image challenge, but the stock is Karina's mind.
Edit: Shout out to Kyle
"Now, Karina describes an image from her Deviant Art, and the others try to draw it without seeing it.
" Yes yes yes yes!

Honestly, this is the best idea.
this is such a good idea i really need to see this
Omg, yes!

Now consider: redrawing each other's old art in your own style
I really want to see Karina's scene in Jacob beans.
Why does this not have enough up votes. Cmon people this is life or death

You've got 666 likes now, it *must* be done
Jacob's weird bubble lettering from 9 years ago: *_Peace was never an option_*
I love how julias newer drawing looks like an old legend in a magical world while her old art looks like the in-universe tapestry of said legend. Like this man did some legendary acts and then later people wrote stories and made tapestries and other art depicting him and his story (possibly of how he got that wolf head)
That is a really excellent headcanon.
I do love this idea! ♥
@@AstralMarmot Pun intended?
this comment deserves way more likes
This is literally what I was thinking
Julia: "why r u doing it like that" *shows Jacob multiple layer*
Jacob: I think I'm in love
…
yeah
And now they're engaged
and now they're married
I love how Karina is just not scared to choose an emotionally-charged drawing, and to casually admit to liking stuff like that. That's what liking yourself and not giving a crap about other people's opinions looks like.

A very good modest suggestion!
That's such a nice idea!
okay but wait a second, karina's art at 13 with a mouse is actually REALLY IMPRESSIVE considering all those factors
Literally!
I didn't realize she drew with a mouse for the first one!
And I've seen this video so many times!
Dang, impressive!
Hearing the difference between Karina and Julia's reactions to their old art is so funny. I think it's really sweet that Karina doesn't hate her old art the way most of us former weebs do, and I think that shows we do our past selves a disservice. Kids are kids, they enjoy things and we were all proud of our art at one point. It's not cringe to learn how to draw.
The difference is that Karina is still a weeb
The Voice of Treason once a weeb always a weeb.
Bold of you to assume we are not still weebs
It's how I see my old art too! Ignore my icon!
nah my old shit was cringe it was bad and im not even a weeb
As SOON as I saw Karina's art, I was like "Damn 2006 was cringe for EVERYONE" low and behold, it actually WAS from freakin' 2006 lol
In 2013 I knew that my drawings of humans were disproportionate, but instead of asking for help I made the shoulders bigger and nothing else and thought that I fixed it.
Real cringe for me. I was born in 2006. My life will forever be CRINGE ;-;
Maybe that's why I'm cringy is it because I was born in 2006?
@@spicyorange476 No, it's because you're 14. You'll be cringe for a while longer. Don't worry, the prognosis is good.
@@r.brandt2246 don't say that I don't want to look back at myself and cringe 😩
Karina is a treasure. Little gifts to her past self. A gem of a person.
jacob's new comic looks like the an interstitial scene of a webcomic centered around two best friends who go on a road trip and fall in love. jacob's character is like. hardcore pining.
This is absolutely what i was thinking
SAME, now i wish it was a real thing
THE PINING,
THE PINING _ALWAYS_ GETS TO ME 😭
I don't know Jacob's orientation, but moments like this show how much bisexual energy he has.
for those who wish to view this hypothetical road trip comic, I enthusiastically recommend EK Weaver's The Less Than Epic Adventures of TJ and Amal, which contains all these elements to a T and is free to read online. Also the art is BEAUTIFUL.
In 2032, they *have* to redraw these very specific drawings. (Exactly 13 years after this)
Also, welcome people from 2032.
Thank you :)
Burning Ninja thanks! For some reason I thought time travel hadn’t been invented yet
Gonna set an alarm to go back and watch this when it’s 2032

Ioana D true
As a small thirteen year old artist, I can confirm the ledge background.
Lmao
No one dares your age kid
Ledge background?
What is ledge background? Sorry, I haven't hear from that word before (I'm not english)
@@eatmypanart Sorry if I use more detail than you need, I only want to make sure what I say helps! A "ledge" is like a shelf or a cliff, it just means something flat that is above the ground, usually somewhere you could fall off from. A background is what is behind the more important things in the picture (like the people). So, when Karina said she used a ledge as a background when she was young, she was joking about using the simple shape of something flat and up high, instead of a more detailed/better shape

@Alex Marrone Wait backgrounds? What are those? I have desperately tried to learn how to draw backgrounds to no success and the only slightly decent background I've made is in my pfp which is a fanart of Wirt from OTGW with the beast in the background. Brush tools are a godsend and so are layers.
All my drawings seem to be set in an empty void, how do background
Julia's older art looks like professional styalized tarot art. Like is this the page of swords? Is now!
I liked the original better and personally think the redrawing is objectively worse.
If Julia made a tarot deck I'd buy the fuck out of it.
Brian Worden I agree. The orientation and proportions of the new one throw me off. I think the wolf head is a the wrong angle and am not sure where the sword is going. The art otherwise is beautiful though.
@@daveyg34 i agree but i imagine she probably spent a lot more time on the original
I still like the new one better. Both are good, it's just that the new one is kinda more mature.
Can we just talk about how rad Julia's old watermark is?

As a current middle schooler who doesn’t really like her art I’d just like to say that I find this really inspiring and this only makes me want to work on my art and improve even more. :D
Amelia Wilson stick with it! Don’t be afraid to use references and trace (just don’t take credit for others work, of course) to learn new techniques. I didn’t start to actually like my art until college. And I’m still finding my style! I’ve learned to find the fun in it as an adult.
You can do this!! Never stop drawing!
You got this, art is all about keep up with the practice!
i really recommend you to use tips and tricks from youtube videos, Pinterest, books, and anything you can get your hands on! like this you can build up your art style and improve! the most important thing is to always practice and do what YOU want!
That's great! Practice does make perfect, I drew almost Every day and my art and style got so much better, I have hope in you :)

"I drew the leg on the wrong layer-"

@@gabblebabbles2017 oof

Julia's original really gives me a Dragon Age: Inquisition tarot card vibe.
Very true
Not gonna lie, Julia's new drawings reminded me a lot of Loghain haha

I dont know why but it feels for me like a card indie videogame, and that character is like a hunter/druid that you find in the woods

Now we NEED an episode of the crew redrawing Karina's crossover nonsense :O
The feeling when they keep talking about middle school digital art and I'm over here doing digital art for the first time as an adult and loving the airbrush. I think it looks nice I dunno, but maybe this is my middle school phase because I'm new to digital art.
This totally is your middle school phase, and that's ok! No one gets to skip it, no matter how long after middle school you start. I use and airbrush in real life and still have an intense digital airbrush phase - it's just so fun and different!
It's been 7 months since you commented so if you read this, let me/everyone know how your art is going!
@@sotnos1125 Also thank you :) Both for reminding me of this comment I made and reassuring me that it's perfectly okay to have this sort of phase. It doesn't really matter what brushes you use or what phase you are in as long as you have fun creating. :) I'm still very deep into that 'eye phase' and I don't think I'll ever stop XD
I've been doing digital art for several years now, and I still use the airbrush for my shading. It may just be because I use a simple program. *shrugs* I also just recently (like within the last year recently) learned about locking the opacity of a layer . . . It has changed my shading process!
@@wyvern713 What program do you use? I am still slowly learning all the things you can do with digital art or art apps lolo. There's just so much to learn!
I don’t think any of us truly leave the air brush phase
I’ve been doing digital art for 3 years and I def don’t use it often but when I want to add things like bounce lighting or make it softer, I use the air brush with a clipping layer. So I guess I use it for more lighting than shading now lol
I love how each person picked something that is so very “them”.
All of them reacting to Karina's redraw is so wholesome

Fun baby fact:
Good head control is one of the developmental milestones for infants. Others include: smiling, rolling over, sitting up alone etc. These emerge at different months/ages. Parents look out for these to make sure their sweet babes are developing well
Good to know. Now I am able to tell others that I had a developmental milestone The day after I was born. (AKA I've always had FREAKISHLY good head control. Being bale to pick up my head after only 24 hours.)

There's such a massive improvement on the blood detail for Karina's piece. It's so satisfying to watch. I actually got excited when she added the splotch on the dress.
Karina is so wholesome with her sentimental attitude towards her younger self and art. She gives me so much motivation to keep doing my own art.

Karin has such a healthy appreciation for her younger self and I love it.

"What's with middle schoolers and the airbrush tool? They always use it and it always looks terrible."
Me: *quietly switches to the pen*
Edit: for me I think the reasoning has been thst I needed a soft brush and for a long time it was kind of my only option, since I used a pretty simple program until recently.
Yeah I also started out with it lol, if you want a painting style that isn’t cell shading then look art rendering tutorials, airbrushes aren’t really in real life
To be fair, I'm pretty sure that about 80% of it usually looking bad comes from, ya know, it being an easy thing beginners grab when they want some shading and thus generally being used by people that already don't really have a lot of experience.
But then you kinda have to become good to make suboptimal tools work and the best way to do that is use tools that are more suited to a job since trying to do good things while your tools are actively fighting you is really frustrating and makes even just getting better itself so much harder.
(Definitely the case with watercolours, if you want to start, use decent paper and decent paints. Maybe ask a friend if you can borrow some but the watercolours we give kids really aren't suited for actually painting with them.)
@@teaartist6455 agreed
No need to explain why you used the airbrush tool, we’ve all used it at some point. It’s been around 4 years since I’ve started digital art and I still use the airbrush tool for some lighting effects. It’s a good tool when used correctly and makes very nice and easy gradients.
Hahahhaa dont be shy 🤣😂 i use it for soft edges lol

It’s very easy to see everything you don’t like about things you’ve made and very easy to appreciate other people’s creations. She’s spent years thinking about her techniques and styles and what she doesn’t like. We’ve spent seconds looking at it and thinking about the awesome style of the textures.

Me:
Me: hey Siri search the web for how to properly shade digital art...
Mary Desrosiers Hi! I don’t know what your art style is but I just wanna let you know that soft shading is ok sometimes! Using a mixture of hard and soft edges is your friend, Here’s what I mean :
www.deviantart.com/vetyr/art/More-edge-tips-668385814
And this one... www.deviantart.com/vetyr/art/Edges-624600004
also be careful when using any random tutorial of google, some of them are really bad...
@@parhelichor whether or not the shadow's edge is blurry depends on what kind of shadow it is. Is it a:
A) cast shadow, think the shadow on the ground behind a tree. These are sharp.
B) form shadow, a much less intense shadow wrapping around the form, say from the middle of the tree to the edge of the tree. That one's going to be blurry.
A lot of cell shaded art only has cast shadow like shading. Only having form shadows never really works though, it's generally too muddy. I personally use both, but it really depends on your style.
Mary Desrosiers if you want an artist that explains shadows and forms well just watch sinixdesign. He explains how hard edges, lost(soft) edges, detail in shadow, colour in shadow work. Basically if there is something you don’t know about how forms, folds, shadows, reflections, light and detail work (in correspendence to eachother as well) then he has a video. And though his colouring technique is painting for most of the time, his techniques will probably apply to whatever style you have since they are both simplifications and in-depth studies of the basics. What i’m trying to say is that he is just a good teacher when it comes to art (and sometimes being a good person :D). He even teaches at pretty good schools and conventions. Pls do yourself and him a favor and check him out, you might like it!

Erevyone: Shows an old bad drawing and shows how much they evolved.
Julia: Shows a PERFECTLY FINICHED piece in a cool style and makes it EVEN COOLER.
I love all of them but the contrast was so funny por me.
As someone who would obsessively draw and continue to make random OCs in middle school, I really want to thank Nathan, Jacob, Karina, and Julia for reassuring me that everyone has a wth art phase and that we all ultimately come out stronger. To quote Julia "It'll happen to you. It happens to everyone, and it's correct."
Now I just need to learn how to use digital drawing apps.
Julia's looks like a D&D player character, like some sort of ranger warlock
exactly what I was thinking
20:00 I do see this comic being the first page in a comic about the romance between Jacob and hunky Kyle
Julia: "Is that a gaussian blur moon?!"
Me, currently using Gaussian blur on a thumbnail for Moons of Madness: "HA! Yes! Maybe! Is that bad?! I STRUGGLE AT ARTING!"
I TOO AM TERRIBLE AT ARTING
Does that just mean “blurred”
@@grimhelix8663 yes it's just a specific type of blur, like motion blur
@please - oh okay, thanks for answering
There's nothing wrong with it. I think she thought it was funny because it's something she used to do a lot.
„Purple is a good way to make anything more magical“
So that is why I keep wanting to redye my hair purple at least five times every year
"What is it about the airbrush tool in middle school, everyone did it"
Me, feeling called out, because thats exactly what I did and until this moment didnt even know that it was a cliche
Keep drawing, keep learning!
So....what’s the better way to do it?
Kali Bakely a combination of soft edges and hard edges. If you wanna know more, look up sinix design he’s a good art-teacher. I have caught myself recommending him a lot in comment sections lately, so if u see me somewhere around here that’s probs what I’m talking about :D. Check him out, he’s cool and a good artist!
I didn't use the airbrush tool... i used dodge and burn (mostly burn). Like a boss *glasses*
same here
We need a “Julia redraws her earliest drawings”. We need to see Julia at her weakest!!!!
Yea! Show us more old Julia drawings that she hates to look at but which are really, really, really good.
Why do you want to see Julia suffering? :D
Caro Schulz, we need to learn her weaknesses, how else will we defeat the beast?
I would love to see Julia redraw things that the other members of the cast choose from her old art
@@dapperOctopus we need to beat her in the battle against all artists
this is such a great episode. Seeing Karina's anime shipping nonsense and being reminded of that awful middle school phase of pairings and bad anime adjacent drawings was such an experience and it's inspiring to look at/look back upon.
I also recently did a redraw of some old art and it gave me confidence that I had actually improved quite a bit from the strange high school proportions I thought were peak art back in the day. I'd recommend it to any artist; it's a great reassurance that the little improvements you may not even notice aren't wasted effort.
I've never done any redraws but I feel that just looking at my old art. I still wouldn't call myself good at drawing people or proportions but holy shit, I'm so much better than I was a few years ago.
Just the other day i found this old art of a faerie i did when i was like 11 and it was awful, tube arms and scribble hands and it was a "technology faerie" so she had those cubes every kid doodles in their notebook and straight up binary spelling "wing" on the wings, redrawing it with a whole new design and 7 years of improvement was SO satisfying, and really showed me my improvement :D
All I can think of are my awful copies of other people’s better fan art. Oh my god the cringe
My theory for why younger artists go to the airbrush tool first: Harder brushes require more commitment. If you mess up anatomy or perspective, it is much more obvious when there is more contrast. Using less contrast or softer brushes help to hide those mistakes.
I laughed so hard when nathan put the horn line that julia complemented him for leaving out
Upon this episode's immediate finish, I've decided to request another episode precisely like this!
Are we all going to ignore the fact that in the second frame Jacob has the "is this a butterfly?" meme's facial expression abd pose?
Isn’t it “is this a pigeon?”?
I needed this.
I’ve been stuck in a rut for a bit as an artist in a bigger project.
This constant insecurity of ‘This isn’t good enough for something that will be published’.
I’m 19.
I see 13 yr olds doing stuff I could only imagine doing.
And then, my four favourite artists in the world, all late 20’s to early 30’s, recreate their older art that they’re not so proud of.
I feel so much better I could cry. I should really redraw some of little me’s art. Give her some well deserved fanart. 💙
Crazy to compare yourself to random child prodigies that probably aren’t even happy in life! Don’t do that wtf!
Look up Grandma Moses. Didn’t start painting/getting recognition until she was elderly and turned out to be a massively famous and admired artist for her intuitive and personal take on art
“oh god i have to do a background uh put a moon and a ledge” I’M BEING CALLED OUT
This is, just as you said, inspiring. I'm 16, and I desperately want to get into arts as my career, but I've lost a lot of faith in myself because it isn't as good as others or as good as I want it to be, but seeing this, it shows me that in 5 years when I graduate college, my style and art will all have improved even more than now. Thank you.
People go to school to LEARN, not because they're perfect already. Keep on working to be the best YOU that you can be~
I believe in you :D
Same predicament, but with animation! I just have to remind myself that these stages are part of the process, as was said in the video. It's better to try, fail, and feel bad now, but keep going, than to give up and forever feel bad about your work if you try to go back to it in the future. I believe in us 👏
Just like Nathan said. You're not comparing to other people, but to yourself
@@firegodessreiko i keep forgetting this fact and then I'm relieved for a bit and have hope..
I just hope they (people who accept students in art colleges) see some potential in me :")
"Mid-2000s hetero nonsense" is the best description of THAT phase that I've ever heard.
WHat do you mean
@@Productive_Chad lol did you ask everyone who made a comment about karinas phrase?
Even us who are still straight empathise with that line in that context.
jacob: [draws 4 panels]
my hindbrain, immediately: L O S S
i didn’t even think of this bahahaah
@@peachypanda57 that's probably a good thing lol, memes haven't fully infiltrated your every waking thought

NO-
G0D _WHY_
KARINA’S DEVIANTART??? I SAW THAT DEVIANTART WHEN I STILL HAD MINE!!!!!! I JSNFBGBSJFBFN I VIEWED THAT IN 2006 AND I THINK I COMMENTED ON IT,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
OH MY G O D
What's her deviantart called?
Jade Mac, bro,,,, it was 2006 and I’m stupid lmfao

I love how wolves have goat eyes in Julia's world. XD
I keep being convinced that Julia was just born drawing like she'd been doing it for years.
When Jacob said how that early comic took him for four hours to do it made me feel a lot better about myself
"It's not sarcasm, that's just how I talk!"
Thank you Karina for explaining my constant dilemma
I suffer from resting sarcasm voice 😢
This is also why I can barely have a conversation with my twin sister.
@@tibia-the-dog do you both have that trait?
@@HazeEmry just me unfortunately. It's why she can't tell if I'm being serious or not 2/3rds of the time.
Or are u being sarcastic?
Shoutout to Kyle from college, past Karina, and Tristan's baby.
I think my favorite part of this episode is when everybody cheers on Corinna when she gets the dude's hand right, like she's striking a blow for the justice of her younger self.
13 years later: Professional Artists Redraw their Redraw of their old art.
How about an epidsode where you redraw each other's old art. Swap your old art and go nuts XD
Ooooh love this!!!
Since Nathan said he reads the comments I just wanted to say: hi Nathan, how are you today? Have you been drinking enough water? I hope so. Stay hydrated and have a good day 💕
