    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...

    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.

    • @HuntingSunder
      @HuntingSunder Рік тому +9

      Woo, another artist with essential tremor! Shaky high fives!

    • @Sootielove
      @Sootielove Рік тому +18

      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!

  • @dragonflower17
    @dragonflower17 Рік тому +7

    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

    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

    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)

  • @vibesvibeman6722
    @vibesvibeman6722 Рік тому +4

    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 :)

    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

      @HuntingSunder Рік тому +1

      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.

  • @MrValravnen
    @MrValravnen Рік тому +1

    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

  • @RadishTheFool
    @RadishTheFool Рік тому +6

    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.

    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.
