Artists that are newer to art normally make their shading and color waaay too dark.
Tini Malu either way too dark or way too light
Tini Malu i have that problwm but with light colors! im still learning digital coloring and i get scared of putting shade D: im trying to be more risky but its hard :P
polar Noodle Yep it has taken me 2-3 years to kind of master it...
hah ive certainly improved, but my art is still shit
admin-aki.deviantart.com/art/Don-t-try-649519387 and admin-aki.deviantart.com/art/Before-he-came-649365043
these are my most recent drawings, and im extremely proud of both of them as a whole because if you compared that to my first few digital drawings, ive come a long way.
Pssst. If you really wanna improve avoid bases and use refs instead (Draw the stuff yourself instead of drawing on something).
@ beginner artists:
The tips here are extremely helpful. Definitly take them into consideration! But remember, tips aren't absolute *laws*
If you like neon colors, use neon colors! If you like to shade with black, go for it! Like the airbrush? Airbrush!
These things look ameture when theyre sloppy and poorly thought out.
but with *practice, thought, and balance,* it can be something cool!

Thanks! That's really helpful!

terrible lizard you #1 aren't a terrible lizard and #2 you're right #3 thank you for not being rude.😸
Okay, so, I absolutely HATE coloring with royal blue, I can never find a place for it. Now I found my problem. I always used it on full saturation. I can now use royal blue with full saturation AND less saturated. THANK YOU!!!!
That's kind of funny because I have a character whose skin color in royal blue. And also good job for learning how to saturate the colors. :) I haven't yet tried to really saturate a whole lot of colors. I got the basics down, but that's about it. With time and effort I will learn. ^^ Anyways, great job. :D
literally tumblr vs deviantart
Coloring wise yes.
Ana Luiza
True though.
Ana Luiza stupid question, which is which
hey deviant art is good i mean theres a lot of noobs who do that but theres plenty of good art there
Loretta Kirsch at least deviantart knows how to color noses
your style reminds me of a mix between the misadventures of flapjack and star vs the forces of evil
jhope2die the hands remind me of adventure time
omg I loved Flap Jack
i would say like adventure time mixed with ouran host club
jhope2die omg that's the perfect way to explain it!
never tell an artist their style looks like someone else's, unless it's meant to look like that. like...styles are meant to be unique for artists
as a 12 year old boy this entire channel is my guilty pleasure
Pea Green don't feel guilty-- you do you
Pea Green why?
I understand, the boys in my class would never watch something like this. Good job on being unique though.
Pea Green you don’t need to be guilty lol
what?oh pre teen stuff , don't worry man, you don't need to feel guilty,art is for both boys and girls
Tips for people who like neon colors:
If you want to use them then go ahead. But a good compromise between soft and neon is to make a pastel character and then add neon as an accent color of sorts. Maybe make the eyes neon or the earrings or something. Using bright colors in small amounts can be eye catching but using them in large amounts, while looking unpleasing, can also be nauseating so keep that in mind aswell.
There is a subset of art called eyestrain art that uses a small number of neon colors and uses them for the whole drawing, though. So if you like neon colors you can do that too.
Cool!
Also when you draw a kid use neon’s in the clothes! But not to much like a red and white t shirt or a dress thats green (tiana flashblacks) that has neon green designs like neon green glitter swirls!
It can also work well with shades like black, grey, white, and all in-between.
i call the right drawing's coloring , the " generic " coloring
its pretty common on Deviantart.
I find it's a little worse, using pillow shading or even not using shading at all. But the burn tool is definitely overused
EvanLikesShrubs What does pillow shading mean? Hahah, I should really learn more about art '._.
Eh, don't worry about it. I just had to look it up, since I didn't know what it was either. Basically, it's shading without any distinguishable light-source. So, the outline of the entire object is shaded, while the center is highlighted (the end result looks somewhat like a circular gradient). A quick google search for 'pillow shading' will help clear things up.
Nara yeah, it feels out of place on top of good line art though. Put it on top of a self insert furry character, and there you have the true deviant art experience
d00dle Ew, that sounds like an ugly way of shading :| Thanks for the clarification!
The one on the right is the "13-year-olds' OCs on Deviantart" style
panakin skywalker im quite offended, ya know? Me being just 14 and all ;-; (im joking XD)
panakin skywalker
Not all 13 year olds draw like that.
Im 13 but look at my account
As a 13 year old, I agree. My eyes burn when I look at my sketchbook.
Also nice Falsettos pfp
Hahaha, I'm twelve and my shading sucks, but I usually adjuat the transparency to give it more colour. Also, I draw celebrities or more 'realistic' OC's as I prefer that to bright colours.

Enable Chaos// I keep thinking about this comment, I’m laughing so hard!

XD
BoI it was 3am in the morning and I laughed to hard my mom woke up
When I first watched this I didn't shade AT. ALL. I found it difficult to shade, and now im cell shading and making appealing backgrounds and using a dif color to shade and this helped me so much
When we were younger we all coloured the 'dont' way because those in children colouring pages we only have bright colours to use we just kinda used what we had which made the art not as good
Leah'sCrappy ArtShow Wrong, if you are skilled enough you can mix the color pencils to get other colors or at least give the general idea that they are diffrent colors
+Matt Scashtodraw yeah but most younger artists dont have that skill. theyre beginners, so blending isnt always something that comes to mind. plus most color schemes are set. color pencils like crayola and such are readily available to young artists and they often come with very vibrant, saturated colors. i remember being young and pushing hard against the paper with a pencil of crayon to make the colors really pop. i never thought of desaturating anything until i had more experience.
Yeah, well I did :D
Actually, children like saturated colors because those are easier to percieve and understand.
When I was young, I colored the "do" way because my eyesight is really bad and even if I could not see the shape, I was very careful with the colors.
Can you do a tutorial based off of light and light sources? As a beginner (and terrible) artist, I struggle the most with light sources and light reflecting onto someone/something in general, especially when the light source has multiple colors. Thanks for the great video, and as always I hope you make more videos of your beautiful, yet cartoonish art style ^^
YEHHH MOAR YOU'RE BEST TEACHER ♡♡♡♡
Bittersweet Love ok imagine a sun then the direction of the person or thing ur drawing then use a lasso to subtract the parts u want to keep normal I usually do this when I colored the skin it there's hair blocking something or top of eyes
if you want to learn lighting, don't practice it with colors. it won't help. practice with black and white alone. use gray as your main color. and try to create a simple 3D object. like a ball or a cube. start from the basics. but you can't use fully white or fully black. cause this type of lighting rarely exist in real life. once you learn that look at color theory. and try to create a harmony or emotion using nothing bit color. play around with it. and than you should be able to draw it.
You have literally taken years of art school tips and dumbed them down. Thank you. You are amazing.
Kiyoko Roukaum Simple and rustic. Just like how it should be. :^)
the one on the right gives me a headache lmao
while this is very helpful, what do you when you were commissioned to draw a very ugly vibrant character. like neon colours everywhere
I usually tone down a few of the secondary colors a little bit to allow the most important colors to shine more. :D As long as all the colors are still there it seems like people don't mind a bit of darkening or reduced saturation.
LavenderTowne ah thanks so much ill try that!
Color theory
she is only toning down some of the less important colors not making any jurassic changes. To fit the style and the quality of the artwork.
I would try my best to destroy their eyes for wanting something that hurts mine in the process.
This helped me a lot and i love how you do soft colours
bleach sometimes i orgasm violently.
Grim Phantom okay then! um well I guess that's good f..for you *dies*

Grim Phantom your not speaking to a guy you realize that right?
bleach ....fuck......
Just a little tip! With Cell shading you don't use White for the hair shine you use A highlighted colour of the base colour you only use white when doing blonde hair
Yuki_Sakura yeah I was thinking the same lol
I use a bit of both, but it also depends on just what style of line art or painting you are going for.
she can do it however
I'm pretty sure she said she used a bright pink. I'm also pretty sure she mentioned it mon ami.
It's art you can do it however, it's a preference!

doesnt she only use mspaint for sketching and touching up then medibang paint for everything else?
the dislikes are by people who cant art for crap. Or hate her because they're taking offense to her advice
Balake Emogak i feel like some people immediately find ways to say shes wrong or hate her. Which is stupid since she isn't calling herself an art goddess or anything. But you can always ask her on her opinion with using the right side's method the right way sometimes.
Honestly. Just. Ask. Ya know? XD
oooor they just dont like the video 🤷♂️
They're the people who cant follow advice and say stuff like "oh its just my s t y l e" like yeah, just cuz its your style doesnt mean that its good
Her videos are so informative and have helped me alot, idk why people hate her so much
@@anhhuynhkimnguyen6793 she said they didn't NEED to follow her rules if they don't want to
This is a joke...
Or they thought it said Dis I Like
I feel like a lot of these comments that are like "YOU DONT OWN ME I DO WHAT I WANT WITH ART" are because she kind of worded her video title badly. She probably meant "how to make your art look more professional" like it's not wrong to do those things on the right side, it just looks like a newbie drew it, and that's fine
they also didn't read the description. or they're just joking/trolling.
Hey there, loved this video. I know a lot of people here say that you're being rude or whatever by saying "do this not that", but I know you are truly just trying to help all the learning artists out there by sharing your experience. As someone who doesn't have a lot of experience in digital art, I'll surely use all these tips! Right now, my coloring is looking...a little like your "13 year old" side. I'm going to give cell shading a try next time :)

Ooh I really love the last shading method! The painter’s shading adds so much more definition. I do wish that the correct green was a little darker. It would make it pop a bit. I adore your art style! What kind of computer/tablet do you use and software/app?

If you don't mind me adding; an additional tip for painterly shading is to know what type of shadow you're making; if you're drawing, say, a ball on a table, the shadow that it casts on the table will have a hard edge, whereas the shading on the ball where it slowly turns away from the light will be softer; this helps define the shape of the form!
I think that's some pretty solid advice. When it comes to shading, I tend to overlook small details like that.
Thanks! A professor of mine actually just lectured us last week about exactly that so it was fresh on my mind when listening to her talk about painterly shading

i like the way you shade (on the left) i never thought of that before. personally i cant shade haha. i am trying though. my shading has in fact gotten better, and now that you said a neat little fact i might try that next time.
i usually do the soft shading. i never really tried the hard shading
Caitlin Brendon I only do hard shading, because I animate and soft shading is so hard to keep consistent. I do soft shading if I'm just illustrating, but never when I'm doing an animation. I usually don't even shade at all on animations.
Caitlin Brendon I can't draw, I can't color, I can't shade. I AM PERFECT
Even though I will never use these videos because I can't draw at ALL I still love watching these videos

You should add Unfamiliar stickers to the App Store. You'd probably need an Apple app license or something, but I bet people would download them. Unfamiliar is way cuter than most of the stickers up now and it would be great advertising for the comic.

What the fuck
This is a strange way to compliment someone's voice.
A good cure for using the super bright colors - search for a photo of a sky with colors that seem very vibrant to you. Orange, blue, whatever. Load it in Photoshop. Take the color picker and use it on the most vibrant parts in the picture. See what color you get. Is it the most saturated and brightest orange/blue? No, most likely not. It's often in the middle of the palette, often very far to the left (less saturated) and bordering on grey. Still it LOOKS very orange/blue. Take a while to think about why this is. Read about color theory and how you make colors pop with other colors. Practice this.

Sometimes pure colors can be cool for a black light poster but that's a whole dif story
You: "I used to use flat blacks and flat whites,"
Me: "DEAR GOD, NO! NEVER DO THAT! Anyone who does that, it's really better if you don't.
Also thanks for all these digital art tutorials and stuff, it's time-consuming to learn all this, but it pays off so well.
Shading with blacks and whites just makes the character look dirty, please beginners, just stop.
Triggered don't blame them for doing it though, while it may look nicer in other ways they may not know how to do it any other way or prefer to do it like that
Ashlee Wenn I'm not blaming them at all, they don't know any better.

I just recently found your channel and i love it! I will admit at first i was confused but as i kept watching i fell in love with everything about it. I was having trouble with shading, wrinkles, etc but your videos on those things really helped with that. Thank you ily byee❤❤❤
Sooo, I'm rewatching this years later, and I'd like to say something that isn't really touched on.
It's more an issue of wording than anything else, but it should be said that you don't _have_ to avoid really saturated colors or mainly use pastels. It really depends upon what your specific art style entails. For example, I use pastels, just...not very often. I tend to prefer jewel tones and darker colors. It's more _how_ you use certain colors than _what_ colors you use. Also, stark white is not as big a no-no as you'd think. Sometimes you just cannot get the same effect with pastel blue or beige that you'd get with white. Same goes for black. The main reason I avoid using black has nothing to do with how it looks and everything to do with the fact that it makes it hard for me to see my lineart-I generally prefer a dark, saturated blue, dark brown, or dark grey, depending on what I'm going for.
Also, I hate to be _that_ guy (or, well, girl), but the 'do' side looks...kind of flat. There's very little variation in value with that particular color scheme, and the eye isn't really drawn to anything.
An art style is something you earn, not something you automatically get. Only once you've mastered (or nearly) the basics, for example, the principles of art, have you actually started on a path towards an art style. So saying coloring like the right is your style isn't valid. It clumsily breaks the 'rules' of art rather than modifying them or skillfully bending them. Being an 'art style' is not an excuse for sloppy composition.
And if coloring however you please is fine, then what's the merit in being a professional?
Just some food for thought.
@Little 'Meow :3 isn't it common sense that you should have a artsyle if you want to be a artist?
An artstyle is how you draw so you don't earn it
Your voice is so relaxing and that makes this video so enjoyable. I don't usually watch drawing videos but after I watched this, I thought to myself, "Maybe I'll check out more drawing videos." Thank you for now introducing me to one of my favourite genres on UA-cam!
the bad one is literally my old art (which people praised me saying that im good at shading)
seriously people used to think my shading was good... its way better now
So, I'm actually 14, and even though its 2019 now and you made this three years ago, I really appreciate all of the tips that your channel displays. I am really putting thought into my drawings now and am glad I am getting these tips now rather than later in life and being worse at drawing when I'm younger. I absolutely LOVE your art and "Do's and Don'ts" series, and am taking it all into consideration as I draw. I just wanted to say thank you soooooo much and all of this is incredibly helpful in the long-run!
I actually liked the really saturated version until you shaded it... it went to hell after that
Ahh man, same. It had potential at first, haha.
***** Sometimes that's what the artist is going for, though. And sometimes it can actually look good.
This time, though... not so much, haha.

Fran Frantasia same! Although I am taking a digital art class. But it doesn't teach drawing. They expect you to already know how to draw.
Fran Frantasia Ikr
I personally love mixing cel shading and soft shading, it gives it a nice vibe
the "NOT THAT" drawing triggered me a lot and made me cringe 😂
LilBerryKoolAid me to I felt like jumping of a cliff 😂
😂
Even when i was first starting off with digital art I've never used black to shade
Black is good for dynamic cel shading if you're using solid black, so long as you use it to the advantage of the composition.
Potato Potus IKR same. My art still looked gross though
You should always use black for shadows and mixes of different colors for light in those shadows.
I find that using the technique in this video is good for more cartoon-ish drawings, but if you're going for a more dark/serious composition you should pick and choose for every individual color's shadow.
Same. But I always used darker colors. .-. But now I don't, my art is still crap tho.
I'm just gonna say this so people are less confused when coloring. The right way to nice looking colors isn't over using pastels but it's all about complementaries. Believe it or not but choosing your back ground color is the first thing you need to do. Now you will find what you would usually color with but adjust it scording to how close it is to the background color on the color wheel. After that your colors should fit well together and look real to life rather than just "pastel" or "over saturated"
Your voice is so relaxing to listen to. I listen to your videos while I'm drawing and it helps me focus more!
I love your style of drawing. I usually hate simple styles but yours is just so expressive with the eyes.
am i the only one that DOESNT like the picture on the right? cause everybody here seems to like it.
I'm going to try and accept your opinions like I always do, even if they are really stupid and dumb.
***** No, its called an opinion.
An opinion is the point of view of somebody, good or bad. You may believe the right one is awful, but you can't speak for everybody.
no, I don't like it either
I do like the red and green myself in the pic to the right myself, but I definitely prefer the one on the left personally. :)
The right one is so far away from physics and realism, I'm sure many people would disagree. It's not just an opinion. Looks kinda childish.
And I'm not saying that because it's not my "style." There are many successful cel shading artists out there.
She should do a realistic challenge if she could and haven't done yet
That's a great idea! I'll put it on the list c:
Hey, from the future, she did it.
Can I just point out how relaxing this video is? Getting to see some adorable art in progress and hearing such a soft calming voice...
Even though I’m new to drawing, o always use pastel as neon makes my eyes want to fall out of my head
I actually LOVE bright vivid colors and contrast and like to use it in a lot of my drawings and photos. Though I'm not a super beginner (I've been drawing for 4 years I think), I feel like as long as you have a good color palette with complementing colors and some understanding of how contrast works, you can still make something look pretty cool. Also I have been in love with your art lately AND TO FIND YOU HAVE A COMIC TOO WOOO! Thanks for all the great vids
"black and grey shadows aren't good for shading" -one of my characters have white fur shit what do I do-
Well, you can use grey, still - she did mention that in the video - but you can also shade with a slightly more blueish tinge or yellowish tinge or whatever tinge you want to give it, depending on the lighting and situation? Basically, she's saying don't use a direct grey - add just a little bit of color into it. I hope I make sense, heh...
Derpy it's not that black and grey shadows are bad it's that it makes it look ya know sharp and dull so preferably I would use light color and also grey and black gives it a less colorful tone
it's just advice but don't need to take it seriously
i think a good method to avoid having your drawing look flat, as well as making the composition more cohesive, is to shade using the colours of the background. like... bounce lighting. if your character is standing in a green forest use a really desaturated green-grey tone for shadows, and it should add more colour and interest to your character, as well as making the character 'fit in' with the background a little better. idk if i explained it correctly, but if you get it i hope it helps.
if the character is on moonlight, use a greyish blue, on sunlight a yellow, use the light source colour it's what I say
haha ikr
This was sooo helpful. AND YOUR VOICE. AHH MY GAWD. IT IS SOOO CALMING!
I love how you start out really quiet on your voice-over, but at the end your all pumped up and are much louder and energized
I like how you use soft colors, bright colors hurt my eyes
That's sort of the point. Bright basic colours don't look good.
Mew Pink I agree with you!!!
trashcan nah m8
bleach can i drink you then
carolina ahre hell nah that sounds nasty as fuck
i really feel like the people that say "the one on the right is better" are just saying it to feel unique and stand-out, because they're just special snowflakes.
addict I think they are both cool, just to be honest (they both have something unique, and no I am not saying that to be special)
addict or maybe just maybe they actually like it wow I didn't know someone could like something that other people don't wow 🙄
addict I kind of liked it, woah I have a different opinion actually :O
So because someone has a different opinion then you they're trying to be special...?
Yee a special snowflake' ramem🇰🇷🇰🇷🇰🇷
I love the look of cell shading. It makes it look clean and professional. A+
omg i love your videos, you're helping beginning artists and being polite about everything and not forcing anythign to do on anyone!!!!!!!!!
