    You know what’s funny? References are KEY to getting good “fast”. I was very stubborn - still am - and very rarely used refs for my work. And, to my surprise, my art work comes out looking better when I have refs to go by.
    Old and newer artists, please don’t be like me. 😂
    Happy drawing! ✍️

    I’ve came to this realization too when I realize that references are better serve as inputs of information and knowledge rather than a direct copy so that you can draw them imagination applying it to the output. The input also helps expand your visual Library so that when you encounter similar problems you can just apply that previous input that is now ingrained. Also helps when observing new things from references

    • @Mr.Fomalhaut
      @Mr.Fomalhaut 17 днів тому +8

      THIS, art is really difficult cause in some ways you can interpret using references as either something to break down and copy but a lot of times we aren't given the fine print that it should not be a copy. I struggled for years trying to draw whatever I liked cause I was not understanding the reference and how it reinforces how a certain aspect of the subject works, and instead looked at it as a means of copying an exact angle for example.

      My perspective about references changed so much after AI hit. I'm not focusing too much on perfection or detailed things. it's more about identity
      Many great artists changed their styles over the years into simpler ones. we learn all the fundamentals so we can bend it later

      @Sasukesanimation 5 днів тому +1

      True, as a digital artist, I cannot deny how significant using references had help me. To me when I was younger, using references felt like “copying” similar to tracing… but its not that at all! Using a reference. Your questions like “on dear, how does the arm look again” or “how should I shade this part” could potentially be answered by looking at how others do it. Yes at the end of the day you still are kind of copying other ppls work, but I’m the whole process, you cna learn a lot from it

    • @mankinz
      @mankinz 2 дні тому

      hello!! i was wondering, do you ask for critiques from people who draw similarly to "your style" who you think of as better, or just asking any artist friends? I draw a lot differently from my friends so I do not know if they would be able to see the issues 😔 ?

  • @Kagane1001
    @Kagane1001 5 днів тому +5

    Also, no shame in following a tutorial 1:1 or trace to learn if you truly struggle. I wasted to much time trying to figure (semi)realistic rendering when i started digital. Then, found a tutorial that said, "here, pick a portrait, trace the face (U aren't learning anatomy today), colourpick the color from the reference (U aren't learning colour pallets or lighting) and step by step, DO THIS. Immediately improved.
    If I ever find the tutorial again, I'll link it

  • @Elsier1
    @Elsier1 20 днів тому +7

    You did try to be as easy to understand in your video as you could, and I think the video gives great advice overall. But I think going even further and giving actual examples of what you mean by certain things (like when you do "art study" literally give an example of what you mean - like draw a hundred hands idk?).
    You are one of my favourite art youtubers, very sigma

Right now im carrying out stylised portrait studies focusing on the fortiche art style and i would love to begin full illustrations soon.
    I'll admit i have never really done art studies on a grand scale like drawing hands for a week cos of time as a uni student studying physics.
    Thank you for making this video, please make more like this.

  • @Mr.Fomalhaut
    @Mr.Fomalhaut 16 днів тому +1

    Watching this vid, it definitely confirmed that working just on the fundamentals was not the way to go, and I may have taken it too literally that they were "important". They definitely are but what I found out is that most artists in general just work on art instead of tackling the fundamentals. Either way I believe is fine but I think by having an imbalance to the input and output like you mentioned, I was glad that you could point it out. This vid's a gem.
