0:52 i dont know how or why, but felt a new brain wrinkle form when i saw this. You managed to simplify perspective on the human body to much so that i was able to finally get a grasp of it after years of struggling, so thanks a lot pikat
I really love how you critique character design without 'Roasting' them! I know a lot of people like the roast approach for comedic purposes but this truly ads so much more value to the advice! ❤we need more people like this!
I feel like it's been difficult to find good art critiques recently. One that is kind, thoughtful, and not completely drowning in bias. I really like this one because you managed to make the character feel like themself while also being more polished. All your advice was very useful, as well, and was worded in a way that's unlikely to confuse or mislead new artists. Good video and good critique :)
Worded my thoughts perfectly! She is so good at clear explanations, and she didnt change the character to her preferences but enhanced what was already there. I seriously admire critiques like this
Those simple and short tips/reasons for adding or changing x part of this design did more to help me understand character design than some other lengthier in-depth videos i've tried watching about character design (and perspective) xD. Will definitely sub and check out your other videos.
The original pose had more energy and made the overall shape more interesting and I prefere the bare feet, makes him more animalistic. The rest was nice.
This is my exact nit-pick 😭 there's a sense of power and energy I get from the original that I lose with the more relaxed, albeit technically correct pose Especially in regards to the sandals -- while functionality is very important, there's a fuzzy line you can cross a bit to further demonstrate your characters personality; in this case, like you said, it felt animalistic and free-spirited
I think it's important to also pay attention to why she's making these changes. In your own work, you can implement them differently! This is just how she addressed these concerns.
This is awesome! Love videos like this, character design is so interesting to me. You can really see how you took the essence of the design and 'amped it up' in a way, it was already really cool but it's defo even more interesting by the end. Thanks for such a neat video, I hope you do more!
I am very glad to see this become a little series sort of thing. A really rad character design too from Yodogama (wonderful name and I'm assuming Monster Hunter reference) Although the one thing I think could be critiqued a little more on the design is I was genuinely a little shocked when I heard that it was set in a sci-fi and futuristic setting. It looks more fantasy with modern elements. Which maybe that is intentional in the overall story or setting, maybe the demon world is more fantasy and less advanced? But I feel like incorporating even something small that really does add a futuristic or sci-fi vibe to it would help communicate that. Edit: I felt like I should add a suggestion/idea and not just a minor critique. Maybe make the arrow on the hood have a neon glow?
Holy smokes, you did amazingly. I really loved how you did all that with what is effectively sketching but it's still such a solid design transformation. I think I would actually pay money to commission you for a service like this. Also, yeah, that design has an amazing base. Lot of muted and earth-y colours, with even the bluish hair and yellow eyes looking a bit stained, and then you have these sharp magenta demonic parts that stand out amazingly from that.
I never understood why i couldnt figure out how to do a top down perspective until you said the word vanishing point. How did i never figure that out before. Thank you for that!
@@suu1998to me, it would be one of those situations where you could ignore reality for the sake of aesthetics. The critique was incredible but that was the one thing I felt was another posing option instead of an improvement.
I love that your videos are short and to the point. The OG art was already really good but I love what you added too, really felt like I was reinforcing and learning by watching :)
I think another thing that could have been adjusted are the colours because most of them looked relativley the same except for the hair, horns and tail.
I feel like a lot of the video can be summed up as "be deliberate", I'm not gonna come here and say that you should be able to tell what the character's all about when looking at them, but you should be able to feel like the design reflects what the character is about, basically, when you tell me the character's supposed to be an artist, I should feel like: "yeah, I can see that."
Probably just have fun! Think, why would you do this oc? Possible comic/manga/book/novel? An alternate you in x w z universe? Do it just for you; you don't even have to post anywhere, if you want to try it. Hope this helps ✨ (in my experience, just doing as a sketch and then flesh it a bit a time without posting at first helps with that cringe feeling)
PIKAT I just stalked you for a second and on instagram and saw you were a software engineer and your now into art. Just wanted to say that is pretty cool. Im torn between learning programming or learning how to draw to become a storyboard artist. Both seem interesting so its cool to see you did both and i dont really need to drop one or the other. Any advice?
This is a very informative video! I'll definitely take all these details in mind when making character designs :) But I can't help but ask, what are cutlines? (mentioned at 8:10) If you explained already it in a different video you made, then can you please send a link? Once again, thanks for the informative video B)
Interesting that Pikat gave the boy girl sandals, lol. At least Moses sandals could have worked, lol. What a quick google search would have displayed. Tech wear with medieval sandals, lol.
really like how this video can basically be summed up as "have good fundamentals --> Win"
It do be like that
That is the whole point, and it's fun seeing what we "think" we know, verses what we "need" to know. It's refreshing.

Same thing with me, did you also smell burnt toast when it occured or was that just me?
honestly this is such an underrated channel, its legit perfect for me

Holy cow it went from a great drawing to being alive

Bro I remember you doing thatpunchkid thumbnails, sorry for losing your job, your videos are really great keep it up fella
The Brock Hampton animation dude?
Wait wtf i never knew this
Tell Yodogama the pen nib tail was a super cool design element!
The original pose had more energy and made the overall shape more interesting and I prefere the bare feet, makes him more animalistic. The rest was nice.
This is my exact nit-pick 😭 there's a sense of power and energy I get from the original that I lose with the more relaxed, albeit technically correct pose
Especially in regards to the sandals -- while functionality is very important, there's a fuzzy line you can cross a bit to further demonstrate your characters personality; in this case, like you said, it felt animalistic and free-spirited
i honestly feel like a lot of the power was from how the scroll was held ngl, its just hard to keep that energy while also keeping it correct tbh
I think it's important to also pay attention to why she's making these changes. In your own work, you can implement them differently! This is just how she addressed these concerns.
Insane design glow-up, I hope your channel gets bigger soon :)

I love how the tail is a quill very interesting design
i can watch these all day
I love that being an artist is basically this line; "Oh wow, this is neat, let me steal that!" ahahah :D
I love that pikat gives advice and points out what peoole can do to *improve,* rather than sticking to all the things they did "wrong."

Oh this series is going to be a hit I really enjoyed this
Adding that brush did so much for the design
Hollow knight music is the best ❤
a 5-star critique indeed❤
Very cool design and awesome revisions.
I never understood why i couldnt figure out how to do a top down perspective until you said the word vanishing point. How did i never figure that out before. Thank you for that!
Where have you been my whole life?
This makes me feel so nice and sleepy and so easy to understand what to do and what to not do with Character design
Theres some fantastic stuff in here that will help me with designing the crew for my current project. Thanks!❤
the greenpath theme remix hits hard.
HELLO!!!!! i love your art style its so amazing. you and a some other creators are getting me addicted to drawing!!!
This is really good! Please make more of these critiques.
The pen tail is dope.
I want more character design critiques! I like this video a lot
I do think the outstretched arm pose has more action to it, making it look like he is unscrolling the map.
but it doesn't make sense to have the arm have "action" while the rest of the body is stationary. it looks completely wrong 😅
@@suu1998to me, it would be one of those situations where you could ignore reality for the sake of aesthetics. The critique was incredible but that was the one thing I felt was another posing option instead of an improvement.
That smol pikat head thingy is so cute
I always melt everytime I hear the HollowKnight OST anywhere.
Underated hope u reach 1m soon..🎉
I love that your videos are short and to the point. The OG art was already really good but I love what you added too, really felt like I was reinforcing and learning by watching :)
Love the hollow knight music in the background too
very cool, need more, appreciate your content

thank you for another great video .
one of the best youtubers i follow

I love all the advice here. I think there is def some stuff here I can improve on too.
Also the lofi HK ost is such a vibe!
thank you for this video. i'll keep this in mind
Love the Greenpath vibes 🎶
I love seeing people's OCs but I can't make one myself. I always get washed over with a wave of cringe and I can't help it😭
Probably just have fun! Think, why would you do this oc? Possible comic/manga/book/novel? An alternate you in x w z universe? Do it just for you; you don't even have to post anywhere, if you want to try it. Hope this helps ✨ (in my experience, just doing as a sketch and then flesh it a bit a time without posting at first helps with that cringe feeling)

You should open with 'welcome to criquikat with pikat'..... I think it sounds nicer. 0_0
Nice

Keeping my arm straight is supposed to be uncomfortable?

Interesting that Pikat gave the boy girl sandals, lol. At least Moses sandals could have worked, lol. What a quick google search would have displayed. Tech wear with medieval sandals, lol.
