This is one of those drawclasses that gives me the art zoomies, I gotta go draw now!
"art zoomies" imma use that from now on
Art zoomies is a great expression
NYOOOM GO GOBLIN GOOOOO
I watched this video yesterday, and today I went to an art gallery and this class kept popping into my head! I looked at so many of the paintings that I liked with the thought of "what is ONE thing or aspect of this that I could try to emulate or learn from?" It really helped me get inspired without getting overwhelmed. So, thanks for unlocking that part of my brain, Jacob!
1:18:00 ish "Y'all heard of lines?" Actually, Nathan, one of the things I've noticed you're good at is using line weight expressively. So if you're looking for topics...
Big yes! I would love another Jacob and Nathan drawclass about line art. Jacob is so good at clean practiced lines and Nathan is so good at expressive and varied line quality. Line art drawclass when
@@mikimakesstuff YESS line art draw class with Jacob and Nathan! Please! 😭
*furiously taking notes from Jacob so I can use that info to study Jacob's style* hehehehe (like a goblin getting away with something)
Learn gang wya
Out here learnin yo
Yo y’all learning too?! Lets gooo :D
Learning is for champs, self-improvement is self-care
LETS G0O0O0
right here silly
I don't know if they read the VOD comments but I'd love a drawclass on how to get better line confidence. I have an essential tremor that affects my line work but I know It's something you can get better at over time.
Woo, another artist with essential tremor! Shaky high fives!
I have some good tips :D It's definitely something you can get better at over time but there are some ways to help with a tremor:
1) Drawing big and drawing from moving your shoulder/elbow rather than your wrist. This helps lessen strain on your wrist in general and reduces the impact of shaky lines
2) Warm up with line exercises like drawing a page of parallel lines, spirals, curves, etc. This also helps getting used to drawing from your shoulder
3) If you draw digitally, use stabiliser tools! You can usually alter this in the brush settings and it will smoothen your lines. I've used them like bike stablisers, slowly reducing the level of stablilisation after getting used to it
4) Be quick and short with your lines. Lots of styles work well with quick lines (pencil lineart and shading look great with it) and, like gesture drawing, it helps you consider what lines are important
5) Similarly, if you draw digitally, try drawing with no pen pressure changes. An even lineweight helps line confidence because every line has a similar impact on the drawing
Hope this helps and good luck with your art!
I highly recommend if your a digital artist, draw small and scale up
OOo didnt know i needed this too!
I know krooked_glasses has hand tremors and she gets around it by making her lineart very angular and having very little curves
I'm so grateful that drawfee posts the VODs of these, it's such a good free resource
As for the clean lines on the traditional watercolor - I'd hazard a guess to say it's either a white gel pen after everything is dried or they used masking fluid from the very beginning to keep those lines white.
For the cross-hatching that shit be all about confidence in your line strokes! Those lines in the reference art on that part of the sleeve look so satisfying because (and I'm guessing based on my own time doing cross-hatching) they were probably done at a quick, even pace with intent. The large swatches of the sleeve that are darker/more black it looks like they used a bigger brush when they went over it for a second pass (in a slightly adjusted angle that still follows the main plane of the shape) to save their wrist/arm. Also the spacing between the lines makes a difference on the perception of the shading. Lighter area - lines are generally more thin, sparse or have more space between them.
Thank you for a wonderful drawclass! I had a lot of fun absorbing tips and tricks.
EDIT: Apologies if this sounds super pretentious. I got really excited to share
I appreciate these VODs so so much, thank you for sharing them with everyone
Thank you Drawfee for sharing your art classes on UA-cam, every time I watch one of these classes it gets me in the mood to draw. A feeling I greatly appreciate to still be able to feel.
I love how you all can be silly, whimsical, and unbounded when you draw. I get in my head too much to the point of ridiculousness. I am convinced that anything I put on paper has to make logical sense, to the anatomy, posing, facial expression, and so fourth; it all spirals into a logistical hell. I freeze up, my mind blanks out, and the joyful feeling of wanting to draw turns into a dreadful feeling of doing something hard. I use to draw everyday when I was in middle school but then the internet and online posting quickly RUINED it for me years later.
So thank you once more for posting these videos, for making learning how to draw fun, and giving me a path to take up drawing again one of these days, little by little
♥
Watching this whole stream to see if jacob brings it all together by drawing a big detailed boulder with pouty expressive lips and anime eyes
I don't know if y'all will see this, but I want to give you my thanks for this Draw Class. I have found this approach immensely helpful since watching it and I appreciate you sharing your process and tips!
It has been merobiba the whooooole time.
for the hatching, I'd say it's much easier to do it traditionally than digitally, because you use repetitive wrist motions and once you get into it it goes rly well (or at least I can do it really well on paper, but digitally it'll fail or not look as good)
putting on this drawclass while i work on a project, was extremely funny to hear y'all talk about the heavy black and hatching when that's what i'm actively working on LMAO
for people who are interested in trying that hatching style, in my experience speed is key!! it seems like it'll make things messier but with practice it becomes easier to control and you can get a lot of energy in your lines.
I also like to do gesture-y drawings with fine liners and purposefully overwork them, just to build confidence with my lines and see how things work next to each other.
hope this helps anyone curious in this style!! excited to see your next drawclass :)
IM GONNA LEARN SO HARD!!!! :D
I'm reading this in a deep south american accent and am rolling on the floor laughing! No idea why that accent exactly, but it's funny as hell.
YES omg I’ve been waiting for this! I keep seeing art that I would love to study but have no idea how lol
LOVE Chris Riddell! He illustrated one of my favorite YA series as a kid (The Edge Chronicles). Seriously, look up the art for that series. So good!
Another way to look at the side profiles is that the negative space between the line drawn from the nose to the chin is also a particular shape-rule. Also there's a "rule" in where the artist places the outline of the lips relative to the bumps on the outline of the face
I don't know if the Drawfee team is aware of him, but it would have been so cool to see PeterDraws as a reference artist. His art style is something else and absolutely incredible.
This crossover would blow my mind
PetersDrawfee when???
He’s funny too, he’d be a great guest!
@@Keithnicity I don't know if I've ever seen Peter draw on digital, but I bet he'd have some great ideas for them to draw!
my god. i desperately need this to happen.
Jacob during Drawfee class is a completely different vibe than Jacob on regular drawfee
I'm so excited to watch this bc I was just thinking about how I wanted to get better at style imitation but I have to say I was not expecting Jacob to drop that he's been reading ACOTAR, I'm-
Chris Riddell has visited our local Waterstones (book shop) a couple times and drawn original pieces on the pillars. Love his drawings.
This is my favorite drawfee art class so far I think. I love learning how to learn, its an underrated skill 🙏 thanks Jacob
Thank you for doing these and especialy putting out here for free
I learn so mutch and i love the chill and i would be mutch further behind without these
I hope to have enough money to be able to watch these live one day
Jacob mentioning reading Acotar felt like a jumpscare bro
I am waiting for the day that I am not working during one of these and can actually follow along in person. I'm so happy you guys post these VODs.
livin that mooch life with this free knowledge.
Thanks for this!! I definitely got some cool ideas from this! very helpful and also love all the new artists to follow!
So many good tips and tricks on how to study art styles. Just what I needed, thank you, guys. Stay awesome!
This was an amazing class, I've learned so much! Thank you Jacob and Nathan. ☘️
Take a shot every time Jacob says loosey goosey
1:24:32
Jacob: Nathan, it's "L"
Julia: *neuron activation*
Amazing class...thanks for this
Once again watching this for fun and challenging myself to use these tips for writing somehow. (It's really easy to translate sometimes!)
For writing, it might help to copy-paste the writing and put it into something like word, then go to the immersive reader and highlight the parts of speech. Analyzing where a writer uses what parts of speech, and what patterns their writing has with long/short sentences is really useful for me.
@@HuntingSunder Hey, sorry for just seeing this! This seems like a really good tip and I'll be sure to find an author I really enjoy and do this! ^^
Ready to learn a thing!!!
I just joined learner squad and I can’t wait for the next Drawfee class!!!!!!!!
I’m working on my portfolio for a school application so this is very helpful ❤️
Yes I LOVE the draw classes!!! 😁😁😁
it's wild to hear ACOTAR described as young adult but i just googled and i guess the smut it's now famous/infamous for is only in later books
I'm at the hatching part currently, and I will say, as someone who uses hatching in my art a lot: hatching digitally sucks!!! The whole thing that makes hatching work is quick successive lines, and the feedback from a tablet isn't great for that. It's like the one thing I can't do digitally but have no problem with traditionally.
My best advice for anyone wanting to dip their toes into it digitally, is to find a brush that starts and ends a little wider than in the middle, or a same-width brush. Also you can cheat some of it by doing a row of hatching, copy/pasting it, and warping it to follow along the shape of the object, like the artist they featured in this video. c: Less hand pain, similar effect, heheh
Started watching this and also doing my own art style study lol.
Dude I'm so ready to learn!!👨🏫
29:13 omg Chris Riddell was one of the first artists that inspired me (I loved Muddle Earth) my style was so influenced by him. I convinced my art teacher to let me do my final portfolio with a ballpoint pen, i still have most of those pieces years later his style is now super nostalgic to me (I draw mostly digitally now totally different style)
today on drawclass: cool artist recommendations
Nathan's joke gave me an idea: you could do "Artists react to [name of illustrator/painter/animator/comic artist/etc]," where you talk about what you like about an artist, and each of you does a little study like Jacob shows here. Plus some banter of course.
It could be a fun way to reach a new audience, while still remaining on brand for the audience you already have. And I think it would be something you could enjoy yourselves.
Plus you could cut those videos into shorter clips called something like "Cool/Fun ways to look at [comic/kids books/video game/classical/etc art, part [N]: [Artist X]]. So, for example, you could start with a series about video game art. Then a series about kids illustrations. Etc.
I've noticed limited and clearly numbered series tend to draw people in. They want to watch them all but don't feel intimidated by too much of it. Nor do they get turned off by having to try and find those particular videos in a sea of other stuff.
The majority of people are really drawn to clearly-labeled more of the same. And then those who are getting into it, or getting familiarised enough to feel comfortable with the format, can click through to your longer videos.
Because I think you underestimate how different and innovative your format is. Not everyone feels comfortable just letting themselves fall into the deep end and learning as they go. Which is probably why many of your current fans are exactly the opposite: we love surprises, illogical twists we could never have come up with ourselves, and new unexpected wacky story lines. The chaos of seemingly random stuff somehow coming together into delightful or horrifying stories and illustrations is like crack to our minds.
Most people are not like that at all. They need to start at the shallow end, cautiously dipping their toe into one unfamiliar novelty, and will only feel comfortable moving on once they can see where it's going from where they are now.
Yeah! Chris Riddell! One of my absolute fav artists
It's absolutely wild watching Chris Riddell's drawing videos, especially faces, because he does no under-drawing at all, just goes straight in and draws the profile of the face, first time, one go - incredible
It's never too late to learn
YAAY TO A COURT OF THORNS AND ROSES!!
watching this while I wait for the Nintendo direct to go live: 55 minutes away.
Good book choice
Underhat Blues, band name, I call it.
The first artist's work (onasugar) gave me a softer Cowboy Bebop vibe.
JACOB IS READING ACOTAR????? lol im excited to see where this is going
Funny that Jacob said he wasn't hot and bothered in the fun way but was reading ACOTAR...
Are there any pixel artists? Also if there are do you guys think these tips are applicable to that medium as well? Im trying to learn.
1:49:43 any idea which artist/painting Nathan is talking about? Curious to look it up.
Hecc yeah we learnin 😎😎
31:38 / 1:55:52
I think it's really reassuring how Jakob didn't draw a "perfect" eye. I would very much be frustrated if the study I did wouldn't look as good as my usual art and I'd also get caught in details.. So I think it's really nice to be reminded that that isn't actually the point.
Admittdly i dont pay for drawclass, so take this as a grain of salt, but if you do jave trouble thinking of a lesson, i bet people would be totally cool with just fallowing along to your own practice, like doing the studies with pallets like you mentioned.
I'M MEROBIBA
learn gang
What is a YA story
Young adult - the book he mentioned is by Sarah j maas and is my favorite series, a court of thorns and roses
@@et6521 thank you so much! I knew someone here could give it to me straight. For some reason I thought it was short for ‘Your Adventure’ as in ‘choose your own adventure’ lol. Is YN a thing also?
480p sucks so I deleted it for everyone's sake
Jacob thinks ACOTAR is YA? Aaha... oh sweet summer child...
