I think this has to be the chillest tutorial in youtube ever. Doesn't even feel like a tutorial, feels like watching a friend demonstrate something to you y'know that feel? Love this so much.

[@TutsByKai]

I try to keep tutorials fun, instead of a stream of bland information. So so so glad you enjoyed it that much

[@naturlauber3378]

Just send a message to a friend about how chill and cool this tutorial is. Getting some Bob Ross vibes

[@PetRatPro]

I DO want to turn this into this!!

[@decompyler]

Love this! The word you were looking for when blending the dark and light with spacing is "Dithering"

[@TutsByKai]

Thank, glad you enjoyed man! I mentioned Dithering toward the end I believe! :)

[@AyangStudios]

Ok

[@slimetakes2339]

Lol, I just realized, that's why there's a dithering tool in the pixel art program i use, I was so confused by that tool for a while

[@EmilyLindsey]

This was honestly so nice to sit and watch AND I learned something. Thank you!

[@samkroes4611]

First five seconds -> “turn THIS into THIS”
(Nothing on screen)

[@decisive-dolphin]

[@vulton64]

[@andresalvadego]

[@samuraidog8997]

[@sandakureva]

I'm bookmarking this so I can watch it after I get off work.

[@xsytrance]

This was soooo good and chill. Thank you!!!

[@gelosoor4281]

Yes the best is approaching here boys 🙂. Keep up ❣️

[@DeadzoneShowcases]

Even if I watch this a hundred time this wouldn't be boring
And thank you making this

[@samkroes4611]

Great video with useful tips for a beginner like me! Thanks!!

[@demolicious1]

@7:10 love how you keep zooming in and out. A true artist that wants it to be good!!

[@cornishpasty7853]

thanks bro, this was a very good tutorial and quite easy to follow.

[@unicbeauty8336]

Cool it worked

[@Andrael]

Hey, is there an option not to draw on the black outlines? Or are you just that good in avoiding them when doodling? (4:27 for example)

[@hxtterz_6794]

thanks man

[@julia4740]

This is nice thank you! Do you have a video explaining more specific how to choose the color for the shade/highlight? Im trying to learn digital art and the way color work on computer just doesnt come natural to me.

[@ShimmerismYT]

try hue shifting

[@ferarojktakb6454]

That's what i am looking for, I am really need this amazing video! i'm still confused !hehe

[@docstruthers]

im workin on my first ball. . . shit is taking me a week lol. but this will help thank you!!

[@Shijaru64]

What are you pressing so you can change back and forth between the previously used colors and even erase without having to pick the color from scratch? I don't know how to select the exact previously used color, therefore I can't reuse a color to make shadows.

[@TutsByKai]

I'm just pressing the brush button, then the eraser button! Sometimes the eyedropper button! Hover over the tools on the side to see what keys you have them binded to.

[@epixeph2686]

Dude I sound unmotivated u should take a break art like that just can't be done in the wrong mindset! I love your tuts btw

[@TutsByKai]

If you're unmotivated then take a break and clear your mind! Watch something you enjoy and come back later! Breaks are important

[@NewYears1978]

How to turn this into this, nothing on screen. Lol I confuse.

[@porygon7463]

[@felixheath1688]

yo what's the linux distro

[@bravo6goingdark]

I think it's Winux
Basically, I'm pretty sure it's windows

[@TutsByKai]

Debian.

[@mal-im1ox]

like two big eyeballs 🙃

[@nikaman9539]

yeah... eye balls

[@gustavo3220]

this what? into this what??????

[@floydcomstick5960]

this is such a smooth tutorial, demonstrative and commentating every single detail and the reason for doing so, i hate long tutorials, even 11 minutes seems exhausting cuz most people drag it out and it gets too dull, but i didn't get that sense from this video, was focused and taking in all the info, very informative, not cheesing it with memes, stuff that isn't necessarily necessary *wink wink*, well done good sir.

[@MyMMTop10Music]

first 5 seconds: So you want to know how to turn this *Shows absolutly nothing* to this *Shows absolutly nothing again*
Me: Wow the abyss

[@Nick12345Nick]

if u pin this message I'll say hello to a pigeon.

[@JuhoSprite]
