Had to re-upload this because the video was frozen on my giant pale face for a whole minute and I was just talking telepathically to the art babies causing emotional damage and childhood trauma sorry guys
Nah it’s fine, I was doing the same (the second part)
It's alright sam next time be open about your telepathic powers, it's okay we are an accepting community..
Lmfao i wished i hadnt missed it 😭
@@rayaneguemmi4825 Sam probably knows that if he was open about his telepathic abilities, a secret government agency would hunt him down to keep the fact that people with powers exist a secret
hiii
The funniest thing about going back to traditional is double tapping your sketchbook to undo💀
hahaha omg this. Also looking at the bottom right corner to check the time...
Some years ago I spent some months only doing digital; I still vividly remember sliding my keyboard out from under my desk and pressing Ctrl + Z in a flash and then taking like a minute to realize I was drawing on a notebook. 😭

I feel like the whole "messy lines" or the fact that some don't connect, is just a style in it's self- I mean BRO- those are REALLY good.. even if its messy, you still can clearly see what it is. I honestly love styles like this, so it's not "poo" its AMAZING.
thats exactly what i was gonna say too, like a lot of the sketches he said didnt look good looked really good
@@SleepingLilliesart-zs7tm bro fr
if it wasn't done on purpose "it's just my art style" is just said as an excuse, but yea the sketches were pretty fire
@@gnarly3032 I know he didn't do it on purpose, but yeah, I guess saying "its just my art style" is an excuse.. but It definitely could be an art style :D
@@gnarly3032 it's really an artstyle.. I was studying Urban Loose Sketches recently and they focus on making these types of wobbly and loose messy lines.. and after a watercolor wash on top those sketches look absolutely gorgeous.
Digital artist doing traditional art : 😍🤩😊
Vs
Traditional artist doing Digital art : 💀💀😭
As a traditional artist who has attempted digital art, I feel that 😭
I know right! I am a traditional artist who just uses graphite and my digital work at the beginning was ROUGH.
It’s just so real, I suck so much to colour and draw good faces in procreate but when I draw on paper it’s so soooo much easier 😢
'Are you reproducing?!?' got me laughin 💀
There were signs in the past that this might be the case... O_O
When Did He say That??

WAIT HOW DID THE COMMENT GET 900 LIKES IN 2 DAYS
This is me trying to do digital art. I’m 37 and I’ve been a traditional artist for 20+ years. My husband bought me a tablet and clip studio and a tabmate to try and help get me into digital art but I genuinely cannot do it. I’m so overwhelmed with everything and it makes me forget the basic fundamentals. I honestly am so lost. I keep trying though but I feel like maybe I’m just too used to doing what I’m doing. But on the other hand- traditional art supplies are CRAZY expensive and I have to keep buying them so my wallet motivates me as well.
If it helps (as someone who did traditional as a kid, did some digital as I grew older, and is now back into traditional), I would recommend starting small! Stick to a simple round brush and only adjust opacity and size, and don't sweat it too much about the other stuff. You don't need a bazillion layers or all that. As you get more comfortable with digital you'll build up tips and tricks and short cuts just as I'm sure you did with traditional media :)
I hear you! I feel like plummeting back to my early teen years when I tried digital. I felt so demotivated and never really started again. Maybe I should.
Oh i feel you, I actually try to make sure to do something digital and something traditional. I don’t have to finish it but I work on both to keep them fresh on my brain.
@@redglassesart that’s a good idea actually. Trying the same thing traditionally and digitally to see if I can recreate it and test the process out. Thank you that’s a really great idea! Like you said, even if I don’t fully finish it I’ll at least go in with a plan and won’t get so overwhelmed with every tool and all those options. Thank you!
I personally use pencils, not fancy ones, but the ones you'd use for school
Here is my process when drawing traditionally:
- open sketchbook
- sketch
- erase
- sketch
- erase
- cry
- close sketchbook
- go back to digital art
Fun little advice: hide your eraser. Keep your mistakes, learn from them. Draw the thing again next to it.
I dont need to hide my eraser, it hides itself 😔
Or just draw with ink @@juancamilobermudezmolina
That's my digital art process, except it's undo
@@axo._.💀
I like the fact that the lines doesn't have to connect, it looks great😂
Yeah it looks great and better than my art 😊😅❤
Hi! Traditional and digital artist here (mostly traditional). I use a ton of traditional mediums: graphite pencils, pens, alcohol markers, charcoal, soft pastels, colored pencils, and watercolor pencils (in graphite and colored styles). I have to say that my favorite mediums do change frequently, but I think soft pastels and markers are my favorite.
Alcohol markers look soooo clean because they soak into the grain of whatever paper you use quite well. They're also really fun to blend with!
Soft pastels are pretty hard to use, but they create a beautiful and otherworldly effect once blended. I do recommend getting fixative for the finished product though, because the pastels are basically glorified sticks of chalk and they smear super easily.
I still find it funny that there is a type of marker that the name of is alcohol marker.
Oh wow, you can actually use the soft pastels? That's impressive!!
@@kipporah Thank you! :D
Beginner artist here, I first started drawing by using a cheap pen tablet then went on to buy a display pen tablet, but nowadays I find myself just drawing in a sketchbook with a pencil (Thanks to you Sam). I saw your old video on how you like to practice and I've made pencil and paper my main medium. Awesome video btw 😊
I'm glad you ain't frozen no more
It wasn't just me😅
Lmao
traditional artist here, I found that my art always turns out well when I start with a bright colored pencil to make my sketch, then go in with a pen/pencil to draw the final drawing over it. It gives it lots of layers and texture, plus fun colors!
Yes, this! It helps to make the lines flow more because it’s harder to erase, and they’ll fade after a while and leave the line art showing
I usually use watercolor!! It's one of my favorites because of how easy it is to layer and for me it feels much more alive than colored pencils or markers. It would be so cool to see you try watercolors!
As someone who does traditional art, with different materials and mediums, i would say I start with a fine tip pencil for a sketch and then roll a kneading eraser over it and use a pen over it. I either just do pen shading or if I plan to watercolor I just completely erase the pencil sketch and define the lines better with a waterproof pen, I use the micron pens. Then I watercolor or color with copic markers. The lines that aren’t connected actually look super cool!!! And I think it’s perfectly well styled, when done well.
Damn bro I love the fact he isn't scared to show the flaws in the first scetches and how easy it is to relate to the art and the process
I wish I was that brave. It feels like my paranoia is always holding me from my True potential you know. and I'm so annoyed because I know that I can make a great art it's just I'm too scared to try new things and and practice
I'm something of a cross between traditional & digital artist, so I only use pencils when doodling in a sketchbook (cuz if I wanna finish the drawing, I'll do it digitally)
Yeah same, I don't have the willpower to clean everything up lol
YEA!
I am so glad to see you trying to learn new things. It's so amazing to see people explore other mediums and to be so open to other ideas. I personally sketch using either a mechanical pencil or a micron pen and if I need color, I use watercolor. I paint using the Windsor and Newton field watercolor set. It's the perfect set to use while out and about and it's the set that you might recognize from some of Scott's videos.
I like the way you draw the eyes so simply that seems so beautiful
"It's not bad, it's stylized"
Oh yes, the best line ever.
I love this, seeing your artistic brain work things out in ink is great, please keep doing this!!
Love this vid! You are so humble !! ^^ Im happy I found your channel!
I do both traditional and digital, more traditional though. I use mechanical pencils cause the led is easy to work with and I also use random ball point pens. Honestly, anything works and it helps expand one's range.
I also use mechanical pencils, their great for drawing
I read range as rage loll
I love mechanical pencils too and ball point pens
Hi traditional artist here (mainly) When I’m just sketching in a sketchbook for practice I just use a ballpoint pen (no sketch) but when I actually want it to look good I usually use a mechanical pencil, alcohol markers and coloured pencils. BTW your traditional art is so good!!! It’s crazy how good it is despite you having used mainly digital for years!😊
Good lord Sam, your sketches are immaculate!
Sam is the best, his art is incredible and his personality is just perfect, eveything about him is a 10
Thank you for your videos Sam! Motivated me back into art, I just turned 30 (old I know) and I stopped doing art for years! I'm trying to complete a manga I started, before depression took over..your videos motivate me and cheer me up. Keep up the awesome work
Normally, I just lightly sketch the simplified shapes and guidelines and then start adding more and more details, starting from the head to the neck and down.
It‘s so impressive how you don‘t even have to connect the lines or do a sketch beforehand, and it still looks so beautiful and correct.
You still got it! Very Dope! Simplification is not an easy thing to do. You're so talented and I'm glad I discovered your channel!!!!!!🙂
Your art style is truly one of a kind. You should consider creating an animated short film. With an art style like yours, it'd be awesome.
I started traditional and it took me a sec to understand how digital works😭
took me 5 years 💀

Watercolors and going over with colored pencils look really interesting, i highly recommend trying it
Oh yes that is good!!

@@Auwa-racist I think I will try it today, something for Easter
great video as always! ( i loved your drawings ) i wanted to share my process as well even though i am not the greatest so here is how it goes: when i am studying something and its just a quick sketch i always use ink so i can analyze my mistakes and improve them next time but when i want to draw something that looks more or less decent i usually use pencil to draw basic guidelines to improve my proportions when i do inking ( pencils are pretty nice for shading as well but soometimes hatching might be better ) thanks for the great videos and good luck with your future projects!
i love this. I always loved ink sketches. i adore teh sketchy aesthetic more than the finalized works, because its nice seeing the unclean or not perfect pieces. I choose my sketchbooks on this basis as well. I like seeing how things would have looked like or what changes happened. Love these Sam
the way you can get these references down so good and accurate with pen is crazy! You made less mistakes with pen then I normally do with both the sketch AND the lineart 😖
Ok Sam, im a traditional artist and im nowhere near professional but when i open my sketchbook i start with a sketch using a pencil called Sakura 127 and then i use the same micron fineliners for lineart. Then finally i use ohuhu markers to color. They work wonders and are really good at blending. Would love to see you use alcohol markers in a video someday.❤❤❤
u reminded me to practice with a pen, and I ended up drawing for a lil over an hour just drawing faces. It took a bit to get used to having to use a pen but ended up enjoying it and not wanting to stop, I'm rlly happy with some of the faces I drew, definitely gotta do this more. I tried to copy ur style a lil bit and it didn't turn out exactly how I wanted but it looked different and better than my other drawings.
i love your vids sm you helped me get better at art not gonna lie 😭
Okay, okay, I'll watch this again straight after the first one...
I absolutely love the thin, not completely connected lines. It just looks so simple but really nice
Your videos are always a source of confidence for me, I can't thank you enough. I'm going at a very slow pace but I'm seeing improvements in my drawings that I didn't have before.
Ps. Nice necklace
Sam, I would love getting to see the references you used for some of these traditional pieces or maybe some future ones! It would tell a lot about your process! Thanks for the awesome content and art!

I use a .7 mechanical pencil to lay down my sketches first, get the general drawing down, and then I use Zebra brush pens to go over the lines. After my lines are down, of various thicknesses, I use alcohol markers to add color. I use cheap markers off Amazon.
May I ask which alcohol marker brand you use, because Ive been trying to find some cheap ones that are good quality but Im just not sure which markers are actually good 😭
@naTa-fp1yy Sure! I have used Master's Touch, Shuttle Art Art Maker, and Wellokb markers, in that order. The Master's Touch are nice because they tend to be bigger so they hold more ink; at least the ones that I bought did. The shuttle art markers that I bought off Amazon are nice because you get 100 pack and you get a ton of different colors, but they are very skinny and tend to run out quickly. The Wellokb markers are new to me and I'm just trying them out. They feel cheap, as in light weight, bit they seem to blend ok.
Shuttle Art also makes a skin color set, which has about a 30 pack of a wide range of skin colors, dark to light.
I hope this helps some.
@@wancd Alright thank you so much! 😊
I love how you're so humble during the entire video, while showing this incredible sketches in ink with no prior pencil guidelines lines underneath whatsoever. Also, traditional artist here. I paint in oils, but also love to use inks and dip pens. I try my hand in water colors, it is... a struggle.
It's exciting to see your traditional art!! Really looking forward to see more! I'm doing both trad and digital as well... I think my favorite pen for anything sketch related (still life, architecture, portraits etc.) is the one with a brush tip. Be it either a soft brush like those copic tips to fill bigger areas, or those with a stiffer and shorter brush tip for details or quick drawings. The changes in line weight comes more intuitive with this kind of pen and it just saves time to be able to vary between thick and thin lines without redrawing lines to make them appear thicker. I tend to do more traditional art when I'm trying out new techniques, it feels less restrictive (like you can move your hands and arms more freely - I'm a firm believer that the artists body movements translates into their art this way, like it's necessary to draw that confident line). For color I recently started to use Watercolor Brush Pens, they are pretty neat, best for quick color accents. But you def need the right paper, otherwise the ink will get absorbed too fast (like a marker) and you can't blend the color nicely. Oh and I try not to use the eraser and just let the lines happen as they flow, allowing mistakes. This challenges me to come up with solutions how to incooperate the "mistake" into the art.
I do both digital and traditional art, and since last year i have experienced a lot of different traditional mediums ( acrylic, pastels, charcoal, colored pencils, markers, watercolor, gouache... ) My favorite are probably colored pencils ! it is sooo satisfying and the pigments are beautiful. Gouache is also very fun to use, I love the smoothness of it, it's very nice for landscapes :D
What kind of colored pencils do you recommend?
Traditional on top 🗣️🗣️
when I draw in a sketch book I use different supplies all the time. however, I typically start with a light pencil and draw a light and rough sketch. from there I have used markers and then used fine liners for the line art. I have used watercolor as a base and gone over with pencil, and sometimes I just use shading with a darker pencil.
I've been sketching for years now and I actually only started doing digital art after watching you.
Thanks for helping me on my art Journey!
These are some really cool liner sketches!! I love how dynamic they look!
I also draw traditionally mostly and I mostly use a mechanical pencil (0.3) and one or two shades of markers to give it some accents. :)
0:59 to 2:03 was the part i was waiting for 🔥🔥
As both a traditional artist and digital artist, I usually use a mechanical pencil because for some reason it is the easiest to use for me. I know you didn’t ask this question but I use a Gen 2 Apple Pencil with my IPad Air 5th Generation when doing digital art😁
I feel like it doesn't smudge as much and there's no sharpening ❤I like those 2
I love the your sketches and how the lines have breaks etc add character I reckon 😁
I only ever sketch with a pencil first so I am amazed that you just went straight in with your pen 😱😱😱❤️
I love the Pentel- Orenz 0.2 - Mechanical panicle. I love the way this pen makes my lines darker and sharper !! - They just look much more controlled than before.
Scott’s lives make me feel so inspired to work in my sketchbook while watching and so do your videos!! I love youtube you guys just give me so much inspiration !!!
Please keep making more videos like this! Your sketchbook arts are amazing and so satisfying
I love sams intros so much 😭😭
Although I've mostly been doing digital recently, when I did do traditional I used alcohol markers which a pink colerase pencil underneath as the sketch. I'd usually lighten the sketch just enough so there'd be some colour still there so the markers could pick up some of the colour. I found having the pink colerase pencil under gave all the colours a nice warm hue and worked especially well with skintones. You can sorta use the colour of the colerase pencil like an underlayer to influence the overall hue of the markers you chose. I'd usually do the lineart last as most pens I'd use would bleed and ruin the work so I'd just play it safe by doing it last, but if ur certain the pen wont bleed id prob do it before the markers.
Honestly, the inked portrait and pose drawings give big concept art vibes. The first few pages remind me a lot of the art I see in some of my favourite indie games. These are awesome! As a traditional artist who dabbles in digital, these are great and I'm pretty impressed that you went straight to ink. I always do pencil first, as it's more forgiving, then hit it with the ink.
You’re doing amazing work here, Sam!!! Drawing in pen is all about working mistakes into the process. Mistakes are part of it. I usually start with a rough pencil sketch before going in with liners, but drawing in pen alone is a great way for me to loosen up. There’s something so refreshing about making such a rough sketch. (Don’t get me started on how fun brush pens are.)
To the fineliner I like to add brush pen, alcohol markers or watercolors and those loose lines look great in my opinion
I enjoy making both traditional and digital art, both for different reasons. I like how there's almost no limit with what you can make digitally, especially in terms of color, but I always find myself enjoying making art with just a plain mechanical pencil and paper much more because it's so simple.
as a traditional artist who watches you all the time I lovveed this video and I'm excited to see you do more hopefully!
IVE BEEN WAITING FOR MORE TRADITIONAL ART VIDS!!! I LOVE THESEEEE PLEASE DO MOREEEE POOKIE!!!!:D
Hi Sam! I'm a traditional artist (but I'm working at getting better at digital), and I often just pop open my sketchbook and draw in pencil - and always a mechanical pencil in 0.5 or 0.7. But I also sometimes will use Micron pens (or the cheaper Biango Microns) or Ohuhu alcohol markers! Love your videos and I can't wait to see more traditional stuff you do!
Dude you killed it gj
Would personally love more traditional content (especially ink) love the work
I am currently doing the opposite, going from traditional to digital art. I love sketchy art work and messy lines, I think it's a cool vibe. Thanks for the art prints last weekend, it was nice to see you there! 🙂
as a traditional artist i really love following my heart when sketching. i tend to use soft grafite pencils and i also love to mix black liner with grey markers
Awesome! So cool to see you picking up a sketchbook again. I bring the same liners and a small sketchbook with me when I travel, and they're so great to use on the go - 0 bleeding or smudging. My go-to tactic is to sketch with a dark brown liner then add red as an accent colour.
And now I'm curious how your solid knowledge of colour theory would translate to watercolours. Consider that your next challenge ;)
hello Sam! I am a young traditional artist and I usually use pencils to draw in my sketchbook. I mainly draw realistic portraits with a mix of mediums to try and make it as real and genuine as possible. And it would be a blast to see you draw a portrait traditionally!
This is definitely gonna get buried but I do a mix of digital and traditional art. When I do traditional, it's just little drawings in my sketchbook. I sketch with a pencil, erase when I need to redraw stuff, and then go in with some microns to do the lineart. I like to use different color microns so I can have colored line art. And then I color the base colors with a mix of whatever cheap markers still have ink in them, add some shadows ontop, add some highlights with my gelly rolls and boom! Art has been made!
Those sketches look absolutely amazing🤩✨! Drawing poses scare me and I often try to avoid them😅😬.. but this video really inspiring to me and I thank you for sharing your traditional art experience.❤☺👏
I've recently been experimenting with charcoal and it's my new favourite medium now because of how soft it looks 🐱
HIIII ILYSM SAM

Not-connected lines are fine as long as they are tapered because they need some kind of motion or the viewer's eyes will always jump where the lines don't connect. I am so happy to see you in traditional art (since I'm a full-fledged traditional artist). Have a great traditional art journey.
As someone who has dabbled in both digital and traditional art, I really can't give any pointers, I have been severally slacking in my art lately! But your channel has helped me get back into it! Love your videos! Your doing an amazing job Sam! Keep up the good work!
The birds are invading. Be careful sam, you might have a whole room reserved for them. And eventually your whole house would be next.
I love sketching with my 2B pencil on used scraps of paper (printer paper, promo stuff, etc.) It gives a healing break from having to stare at a glowing screen. Also, it's just me and my thoughts, no pop ups and no fancy tools to distract me from my ideas. Newly born ideas are very vulnerable to distraction.
Jumping between traditional and digital art always helps me whenever I hit an art block. It also really helped me discover my own art style, especially my marker art. Ohuhu markers are so fun and pulling that look into my digital work has been an interesting challenge.
I primarily do traditional art, but this really inspired me to try drawing with just a pen. I think that would teach me a lot. As far as my process, I put down a sketch in pencil, then ink, and I just recently got some different grey pens that I use for shading
Hello sam!!!
HELLO
@@samdoesarts ty sam!!😭 for saying hello you made my day
REUPLOAD!?
I actually loved the line breaks in your drawings!
The thing I always try to do with fineliner sketches is to 1. draw the line of action of the drawing with a pencil first, and 2. go back at the end and add line weight to the drawing paying attention to the light source. Once drawn, the line weight of the shadows always makes everything in my work more polished.
Excitingggg!! If you're journeying into trad, I think you'll love experimenting with a bunch of different tools! Different brands, materials, build - every artist has an affinity to different tools (kind of like finding your wand in HP), and you'll be surprised by how the qualities of your output varies with each tool - while maintaining your own personal flare! I personally love the 2B pencil and Deleter Neopiko liners. I started with Microns like many others and I haven't gone back to them personally, I draw too hard and ruin the tips too quickly haha

It would be interesting to see how you tackle water color.
But also people who used to use alcohol markers have often become digital artists in the future funnily enough. So it would also be intriguing to see you use alcohol markers too XD
Whichever direction you head in next I am sure we’ll be looking forward to it
sketch with watercolor is insane i love it
Hi Sam 🤩, You are beautiful and your work is beautiful. Thank you for sharing. ❤
I had a period where I only used fineliners to force myself to work with my mistakes and not be able to erase. The porportions weren't always the best but it really helped me develop my skills and it was a lot of fun. I usually began with an eye as an anchor point and worked my out from there😊
someone is in a goood mood ❤. also i loled when he was like ima draw everything! 3 days later people only for dayssssss
I needed this video today
My favorite medium is watercolor and waterproof inks! But for studies my favorite to practice with is ball point pens!
As a traditional artist, I first sketch out my drawing and then I line it but sometimes I don’t use a pencil and it’s so free and I love it.. and it turns out amazing. As watching you draw without a pencil and just a fine liner after 8yrs you say? and seeing you draw is really incredible! It’s so stylized. It’s something like I wouldn’t do if I was in your position. I like to use markers, I wanna get into painting but scared, I’ve used oil pastels and it’s really messy but not anymore but it was fun while it lasted.😊❤
cross-hatching is wonderfully fascinating
Amazing sketchbook! I am a traditional artist and when I was at art school I did a series of drawings with coloured fineliners. They looked cool and were a lot of fun. I like using pen and ink (dip pen and washes of diluted ink for shadows) too. Something about ink drawing is just so freeing. But my lines were much more heavy handed. These are so light they almost look fluffy! Just like the birbs
I don't do traditional art often but when I do I love using mechanical pencils, I love using kneaded erasers because they are perfect to lighten your sketches without erasing them completely AND without damaging the paper. And as for fine liners I use micron too and I love using Ohuhu alcohol markers with brush tips. They are SO cheap and gorgeous and So fun to work with and would LOVE to see you try them out. Amazing job Sam these are gorgeous and I acutally really enjoy the parts where the lines don't connect, it makes the overall peace just so beautiful to me
