- I tried following along with Mogoon/ Modare (モ誰)’s workflow in order to learn his secret techniques. I did that by taking his course on Coloso and then did a copy study of his Raiden Shogun illustration. This video was the process of the study.

Which artist do you want to see next? Or are there any specific illustration that you want to see a breakdown of?
I wanna do more image copy study since this one was weirdly fun and helpful 🌝
Omg you aced it champ! Could you analyze Yeej chan’s work next? Their art has a unique and captivating style
Your take on a breakdown of hidari's charming artstyle would be interesting to see. His approach to materials and color palette, really makes it seems like you are reading a book, especially his illustrations on Record of Lodoss War-Deedlit in Wonder Labyrinth, and Fire emblem echoes.
Was hoping you could do nijisanji’s Nina Kosaka’s illustrator (@soubin), I highly admire their works and would love to see their style be broken down! Another one I’d like to see analyzed is Chloe’s artist parsley. Thanks again!
I would love to see some for porforever his light and backgrounds are amazing. If you don't want to tackle bg maybe Rinotuna character paintings
I like to see @azure (Mume ipapa)I really like his lighting style.
The amount of dedication you put into this breakdown, even watching 15 hours worth of video for this. I don’t think i can even do that
Forreal, I even end up giving up an art piece either because it's taking a long time to finish or I get bored of it just to start a new one 😭. It's admiring how he continues to study, edit, finish a piece, and such.
Don’t doubt yourself! You CAN do it you are more capable than you think, and your art is always worth the time you put into it.
@@raptorboss6688 Thanks for the encouragement! Although i personally don't have much time and I don't really like continue drawing on the same canvas on different days
;)
You can! but takes a lot of time and dedication to reach that level.
I'm honestly more curious on how he decides the composition/pose for his characters.
He says "texture before painting", but even if you remove those and leave just the flats and lineart, it already looks good because of how appealing the character appears in the first place.
Definitely! There was a lot on how he approach drawing composition in the online course, such as the importance of 3 point perspective. Sadly, he didn't really mention how he came up with ideas and poses... I would love to know how he came up with them as well 😵
@@tppoartI agree hope you will make a video about it hehehe... yea it will take lot's of effort but THANK YOU FOR THIS VIDEO
sport videos like golf, volleyball, tennis etc have the best poses you can adapt from
I didn't understand how he makes the texture, he just uses random colors?
@@derp3044 jojo poses the goat
So what I'm getting from this is Mogoon wouldn't be able to do it if he didn't reach this kind of level of mastery before starting the 100 day challenge. It really hit me at 2:32 when it came to materials. There's just so much hidden expertise on top of it all!
And to reach this kind of level you just need a change of mindset. People practice to draw better but they don't really practice to make drawing easier for them.
Things such as stop scribbling and using too much construction shapes and draw loose silhouette lines instead and as few lines as possible. It makes a lot of difference. Sometimes I don't even need lineart since the sketch is so clean it works as it is. Also, I set pen pressure to be very sensitive so I put almost no strength in my hand. This makes me able to draw for hours without getting tired.
I used to take hours to draw a single character but now I go from blank canvas to finished lineart in 15~30 minutes without much effort. By the way, drawing gets a lot more fun when you can do it effortlessly. Nowadays, I enjoy drawing daily and filling layers of drawings since I get good results quickly without getting tired.
@@SoulGuitarMetal how long have you been doing art?
@@SoulGuitarMetal "to make drawing easier" seriously, once I started focusing on this one, everything else got automatically better. that's why i'm so grateful for pro artists who share their process, especially real time like some do. we can learn a lot by watching them do their thing, a lot of times.
@@user-wt5if6rx8m can you recommend other artists who shares their processes?
@@OperiaX if you're interested, i know one and i follow them because they like to share little details on some specifics like for doing lighting, hairs, etc, It's Coax Illust, but their style is semirealism though
The first point about his lineart being more "sketchy" than "typical anime art" is interesting, bc I actually find that from far away, most pro anime artists lines look neat at first, but if you zoom in you really see how sketchy everything is, but they manage to make it look so refined! Speaking from my experience, trying to make lineart "as neat as possible" is a bad move. It actually makes the process of shading harder (for me) and it makes things feel plasticky while shading idk how to describe it otherwise, but I guess artificial is another word. I think this is because when your lines are super neat, your colouring has to also be super neat so things would match together - but the catch is having to make colours neat ends up being undynamic as hell, but if u try to make it normal/"messy" the lineart would feel out of place. The catch here is to aim to make lines more dynamic weight wise and stuff instead of "perfectly neat". Ofc this isn't a universal rule bc it depends on your kind of shading, but if you're aiming for soft shading and a painterly style it helps to make things a bit more loose :").
Wow that's very interesting thank you! I've been trying to make my line art quite neat and clean since I thought that it would look nicer, but when it came to rendering, my image turned out looking artificial as you said. Incredible point, I'll keep this in mind for my future illustrations! 👌
@@tppoart Np! Also your study turned out super awesome!! Immediately subbed to your channel!
But yeah I feel you on the lineart thing bc I too have a habit of trying to make them super neat, only to suffer later while colouring - 2 years ago I was working on a commission, and when it came to colouring it it felt so wrong no matter what I did that I actually scrapped the lineart (all that work for nothing 😭) that I did and refined the sketch a bit instead and it turned out SO much better! It's so important to find the lineart that suits your colouring and not fall into the trap of neat = good. For example for me, my colouring style uses a lot of overlay glowing. If I make my lines too thin the glowing effects will really eat the lines up. So yeaa
I currently have this problem 😭 I thought it has something to do with being a perfectionist, I sketch, not satisfied, I refine it, and it ends up being super rigid and then adding base color and shading has to be neat as well. It takes away soo much time and creative freedom to tweak the art here and there (because you need to tweak the lineart first).
@@bingusbinted Nah I get that coz I'm still the same 😭 why do we make things harder for ourselves
u know what i suddenly get this after doing linearts for months now i got fooled into thinking theyre trying to perfect it down but it just needs to look good far away so limit zooming in
do you ever get a roadblock from studying these artists and dont know what to do? i am rly in awe how you managed to analyze and comprehend artworks. not to mention sharing it in this format. holy shit man
Yeah all the time! If I get really stuck I just skip the study and come back later. This is actually my second attempt trying to study mogoon since the first time I just couldn't understand his coloring techniques. This time around I found the online course and his livestream so it kinda worked out 👍
@@tppoart DUDE THANK YOU VERY MUCH YOU HELP US SO MUCH pls continue your hard work ♥️
@@tppoart doing god's work and sharing the info in clear and concise manner.
Something I noticed on his bilibili page is that his videos start with the sketch already done and a lot of his drawings take anywhere from 3 to 8 hours... that's still INSANELY fast! But it's nice to know that even with a seasoned artist like that, it takes a full day of work to get something that nice (especially for someone like me who doesn't have free time, it's freeing)
he is quite an exception even among pros, his 100 day challange is quite something, that might be close to impossible to many people. If u have follow some pro artist, they actually take days to finish, less than a week, but still days in same field. Magoon ranging from 3-8 hours, maybe 10 hour at most if we count rough is really INSANE.
Despite the art's anatomy, composition, and shading, the texture is my big problem when it comes to rendering. I love this sketch feeling some artists put into their art. I'm bad when it comes to brushes as the texture always looks out of place when done by me.
OMG OMG OMG HE DID IT HE F KING DID IT AAAAAAAAAAAA
I've recently wanted to try copying mogoon's style but I didnt understand his coloring technique since I only watched a few of his streams during the 100 day art challenge so this video is a GODSEND!
yeahhh! perfect timing 😎
@@tppoart dude you're a legend HAHAHA ngl I'm so confused right know you show me a solution
On artists who upload almost daily, I had figured from my years of talking with many artist in professional and hard fandom is
1. Working on multiple work at Once
2. Painting then Line Works/Border Effect
3. Pre-made Pose/Compositions (Folder full of Rejected Poses/WIPs from sketches and doodles)
4. Frankenstein old artworks to create new composition and reference (same as above)
5. Re-uploading past works
Overall, having reference and strong understanding what you're looking at and what you want seems to be key. Still a lot of work, must of been a long journey.
Thanks for sharing and amazing breakdown.
Thanks for the amazing insights!
From experience I feel like adding filters and blending modes to your work and pushing them is a really good way to build a sense of what your art can look like and how you like to balance out your colors. Over time it’ll just become how you illustrate or paint and you won’t need blending modes to do that as much anymore. It’s the same “you can’t draw what you haven’t seen” principle just with color and contrast
ahhh I see that's very interesting, thank you!
@@tppoart no problem! I started to notice I was using better colors even though I was using blending modes and less and just refining how I use them. Really cool how doing and exploring affects art
@@tppoart also thanks so much for making this video! you did an excellent job of breaking things down
I'll be honest here, no matter how hard you focus when drawing for improvement. It'll always will take a very, very long time. And I mean years due to understanding your failures and willing to improve upon them on your next creation (This goes for any work process not just drawings)
To achieve a higher standard such as these artists isn't just years because time is only dependant on what you spend it on so what you must always do is simple; just keep drawing.
Draw thousands upon thousands of sketches, anatomy, base shapes, perspectives, objects, backgrounds, lighting, shading, colouring, line art. EVERYTHING. if you truly want to become better.
It is very helpful to copy other artworks from artists and from random images everywhere on the internet no matter what to get a great sense of things; but you got to observe as to how it works. Like body positioning, lighting directions, folds of clothing everything.
Because if you dare try to draw from your imagination you will most certainly not understand as to what you are doing and as to that problem is simple. You weren't learning, you were over complicating things, you weren't admitting your errors to yourself.
Big artists like these all had to go through the hard way because there is no shortcuts, it's always extreme perseverance and constant dedication. YOU CAN'T create a style if you don't know the basics and haven't practice enough to understand how certain things work.
So in conclusion, time is a vital concept with drawing. But that only depends if you are learning from it and do it constant enough so it can permanently stay inside your brain for the long term process in life (oh yeah good tip is always use basic shapes first with sketching no matter how annoying it can be because that oval shape will help ya with proportions and perspectives so much with bodies and heads or anything) XD
Tracing someone's work is a proven practice for every aspiring artist out there, I have been teaching on Arts university for 8 years and taught this process to my students. *Just don't claim it as your own work.*
i love how he said about the importance of the shadows and then leaves the face flat. But i love the composition, definitely worth studying.
For me, I've always been heavily stuck on the colouring process. I overthink it and then lose direction, so my works are often left half-finished or barely started. Your videos clarified my brain clutter and they are truly a joy to just watch. Thank you so much for your dedication!
Studying other artists by copying their work 1:1 is not something content creators wanted to do these days because usually this is just personal grinding as an artist. This is the part where it is sooooo boriiingggg yet you made it educational. Love your contents..
it's fascinating how your own style still shows in the copy, even after all that extensive research. Your piece looked more smooth and blended, while Mogoon's is more block-textured coloring and less lineart.
This is still an amazing study nonetheless; you put in a lot of effort and it really shows. Looking forward to more of these in the future!
Man, I hope your channel grows because I enjoy your content so much! The way you explain how the artists do their artwork and put them into practice really shows your dedication. Really hope that you keep pumping videos!
I really appreciate the effort you put into creating these videos. They're very informative and the production quality is awesome.
Man, you're so underrated, your explanation of every aspect is great and easy to understand and the presentation is 10/10
Edit: Your video studies are so interesting and refreshing. In world where the art field is so competitive, and speed paint videos out there that add to the pressure of unrealistic art goals, your videos are a nice reminder that people have different ways of painting that we can learn and study from.
finally, some artist to follow his art style. I've been stuck for finding artist reference to my own style. This video helps me a lot. Thanks man
your channel is unique and amazing; so glad I discovered you! I always advocate for studying from other artists' styles & really getting into the nitty gritty of understanding their workflow, but as someone who's really busy it's difficult for me to sit down and study as much as I like. thus your videos are perfect to watch along and learn as I work, and it really helps that we share a lot of favorite artists too! thanks for all you do.
This channel is god. How could I didn’t discover this channel for sooooo long?! He pays tone of time and effort to analyse different artists work to share with us!!! Love ur videos and I have gone though all of them already :) please keep it up cause the content u are making is the thing I have been searching for soooooo long!!!!!
i love doing this, especially with animation too to figure out how they did certain special effects. its like a scientific breakdown/pick apart of what makes your favorite peices look the way they do
This content is wonderful
thank you! ❤️
Thank you for deliver this amazing analysis to us! This video is full of tips I'd never knew if you hadn't done it! Really thank you for your dedication! 🙇♂🙏
omg the focal point for lighting is so good!
Yes! Preparation is so key! Thumbnailing, rough sketches and coloring can definitely save you time. I can't tell you how many hours I've wasted trying to figure out how lighting and shadows work, how the background's gonna look etc.
You never fail to create something so stylistically pleasing and immensely informative. Thank u tppo once again 🙌🙌
No problem! Thanks for watching!
I love this channel, feeds my love/admiration of artists perfectly
Today I found you and your videos have helped me understand art a little bit more the effort you put into each video or rather the time is something to admire for me since I can't exactly do that thank you for your videos!
You cannot believe how much I've been stalking my notifications tab these past days waiting with bated breath for you to upload tppo!! I cannot stress how much I ADORE your channel 💞 Quality content with blistering insight! Please keep going, your content is my only source of life and jubilation!!!!
Thanks for sticking around! 🙏🙏🙏 I have no plans of stopping anytime soon so rest assured!
I love learning about different techniques to incorporate in my art!
Even though I’ve gotten to a part of very, veryyyy, slow progression (for me this symbolizes that I have grown to a place where I have grown a very good understanding of a lot of concepts in art and been able to execute them) so learning how I can better tweak and grow my pieces really helps. I know once you get to a place like this you feel stuck and like you aren’t making any progress, but you are!
Honestly I’m happy with this stage because not only do I finally, for once in my life, love my artwork and feel proud of it, I can push my art in different ways and incorporate different style techniques and ways of doing things so make my process faster and more enjoyable.
I still have a lot to learn, because when do you not, and I can’t wait to further my art. Even if the process is slower than it’s been my whole life lol.
Thank you for this super helpful breakdown! Totally gonna incorporate some of the interesting techniques in my own work and see how I like it!
Thank you so much for this breakdown, it's so helpful and you're so encouraging
This was incredibly fascinating. Please do more! And the artists at the end are among my favourites so those would be perfect!
mogoon / modare is one of my favorite artists, his skills are so balanced (composition, line drawing, painting, color and values). thank you for doing an in-depth analysis of his process! this was very informative yet so engaging to watch with your commentary and the editing.
I couldn't agree more! Mogoon's skills are balanced but on a godly level 😆
I also purchased Mogoon's course and OH MY GOSH was it overwhelming! the amount of depth he has, especially on lighting, is insane. I do want to improve and it's fun to see other people taking his course. Honestly, it's incredibly helpful because I've tried to do my own copy studies and I can learn from other people's copy study's and see if I missed anything in my own process. Thank you for everything!! you have a new follower! ^_^
I've spent the last few days watching through some of these and I have learned a lot from them. You're a legend thank you very much
You're godlike! Thank you so much for doing this kind of videos!, It's really curious to see how different artists use different tools. it's also very useful for new artists to know all these different approaches.
It was after a few months or weeks when the pandemic hit, just found out this guy jeonghee and his 100 day challenge and it just surprised me how he created such art in 100 days every day..
What a beautiful pieces
And also so many artist done the chalange.. it was great back then
Please do more like this!! I love the editing and the breaking down of how to do the illustrations with different artists! Please do continue i'd loved to learn more coming from you!! Man you posting vids like this is really a life-saver!! I cant thank you enough!
Thank you! Will do! 😊
Thank you for this breakdown process, processes are the best way to have consistent results and having this insight gives me confidence to get started on my own work ❤
These videos are so well constructed, I can't get enough. Good work man keep it up!
so much quality information in this one video and its for free
thank you for this tutorial you are amazing!!!!!
Really appreciate the breakdown! Gonna try to apply some of these tips for myself (Texture first seems quite interesting) :) Thanks!
Yeah! Mogoon's texturing process was really interesting, since he emphasized it quite a lot in his online course!
i really like seeing your progress and process of the study. keep it up man
Top notch presentation, editing, content, and actually showing each step. I'm very grateful for this video.
This has be to the best guide I ever have seen, not just on CZcams. The fucking video editing and music choice is just absolutely superb and the breakdowns are super clear and even comes with time stamps. With all that said I challenge you to try to imitate 野生西酱’s art.
Not sure if anyone mentioned this, but since you are using and publishing artists paid content: it will be nice if you will actually mention the artists paid links in the end like: "Their social links and everything is in the description below, and please consider supporting them on their subscription service or getting Mogoons coloso cource as there is a lot of things he mentions there."
Because you are essentially making money off their paid content and publishing it online.
Overall a very nice video, a good speed through with the coloso course. I am actually susbcribed to it, but still need to finish it since its so long haha.
He did put the course in the description but yeah, he didnt mention it I think
Your editing and dedication is top notch
i've never seen this type of art content before and i'm loving it! thank you for making these videos :)
PLS a video on composition would be so helpful! I never have ideas or if I do it's hard to make the the composition look good TvT
Awesome video by the way!! ❤️ I've learned so much!
omg i didnt expect to find you here !
This guy's channel is the definition of quality over quantity. Ever video he puts out is an absolute banger. Love this guy.
Thank you this is so helpful omg. I used to be so confused when it comes to making a digital art piece, it’s so clear now. Thank you so much ☺️
This was so enjoyable to watch! Mogoon is so awesome and your insights were really good.
Looking forward to more of your content!
I feel like we're perfect opposites of each other. We both work our asses off to become world class illustrators, but with one difference. I spend most of my time improving my drawing skills but neglecting my painting skills, and when I watch your stuff I get the feeling you're doing it the other way around lol. Good job on your channel though. You're doing great. I want to make a CZcams channel too but I can't get my resolve together.
This channel is wayyy too underrated, such a gem that I accidentally found thanks to the youtube recommendations! Keep the good work up man!
On a serious note, the term "Think like an AI" hit me like a truck because of how AI generated art is with these days,
I'm in a dump and this video really put me back up, I can't thank you much for what you've done for people like me.
Thank you.
I swear, you are so underrated. Every time I watch one of your videos, I'm motivated to keep growing and learning. You inspire me to think that, with enough work and learning, everything is possible. Thank you for being an inspiration to me❤️
6:48 as korean... that's... a meme lol, popular in korea, faker(LOL player) took a advertisement, in ad he says "can you please turn off the light" maybe this artist thought this painting should be bright? idk lol
Please do the composotion video of mogoon!!
i've literally been wanting to study Jeonghee for such a long time and you did it for me
you have no idea how grateful I am
thank you so much
You’re one of the most helpful channels I’ve EVER watched.
Ohhh PLEASE break down Hyanna Natsu's (youtube) workflow. her artstyle is simply immaculate.
as soon as you trace the line art, you already missed the point of learning the secret
Thank you so much for taking so much of your time to breakdown and learn from artists so we don't have to. I'm learning a lot from your videos.
You have a gift analyzing all this stuff man. Thank you for your work.
This doesn't feel good. You're essentially purchasing an artist's courses and condensing/summarizing the key points so you can make money from them on youtube. I know imitating artists to learn their techniques is a thing, but the fact that you took someone's paywalled content to profit off of it does not feel good to me at all.
This is amazing! I always wondered how Mogoon worked on the illustrations, thank you for sharing!
going from watching your ina stream art tutorial to watching this video, it's incredible to see your improvement over only a few months time. It's honestly inspiring. Love to see it!
Thanks breaking it down!!! Totally learned somethin here 🤩
Man ur editing techniques to explain things is killer ur awesome pls keep going making this variable content really appreciate your work ❤❤
Thanks for the video!
As always, the effort you put into this videos are insane! Keep it up and looking forward for more.
I just want to say, you are a great teacher!
You help us explaining artist's workflow, thank you so much!
OMG, i just found out your channel and it's really amazing
i got a lot of knowledge by watching you breakdown other artist art
thank you so much man~
this saved my life omg THANK YOU SM
YOU ARE SO HELPFUL FOR ART STUDIES OMG PLEASE THANK YOU SO MUCH.
These are some insane editing you've done. I love it!
Man, you are amazing! I can not express through words how much i love the content you make, you are a gem!
God, I'm so glad I came across your channel!! Thank you for your videos!😭😭💗💗
dude you are so good thank you for the commitment you put into these vidios
This video was so amazingly composed and edited i had to stop and shed a tear because i felt like i'm seeing a masterpiece instead of just a normal breakdown video. I was already subscribed, but damn. I'm turning on the bell notification this time. The effort you put is just insane to me
It's honestly rare for me to stumble upon an art channel i haven't already heard of, but you my friend are definitely the exception. Super high quality video, keep it up!
i love your videos! and how you breakdown a lot kinds of techniques, its very inpspiring!
I regret not finding this channel sooner 😭
I watched the rest of your videos and really love your dedication in studying the artists and your editing
I'm really appreciate this u did a great job breaking down his course
Subscribed immediately
Thank you for this breakdown!!
❤️❤️
This is a very interesting video and I plan to watch it again to practice those steps myself! Thank you for this
I just wanted to say that your content has helped me evolve my art! I am looking forward to watching more of your content.
Awesome breakdown, really enjoyed the editing too
God damn. I love his art style so much. Thank you for this video!
while the technical aspects of materials, lighting, and layering techniques are important for drawing fast, the reason why Mogoon draws so well is due to his incredible understanding of composition. This includes things like value structure, balance, big/med/small, flow/rhythm, etc. You can learn about all sorts of tools and scientific principles, but at the end of the day we're still creating art, and art follows a visual language that you need to understand and get good at in order for your paintings to look good.
I am very grateful for the Chinese subtitles, I have subscribed to this channel for a long time, and now I can finally understand this video.
Anyway, you have given me some inspiration and I love this video very much!
I really enjoyed your teaching style, the information was very helpful and easy to consume
It's my first time for me watching your video. And I found out that this gave me a lot of techniques and your explaination were so clear to me, and you gave some tips that helps me improving my art skills a lot. I realized that I have to practice poses and coloring process evenmore. Thanks! I'm subscribing right now.
This is probably the best and most educational video I have found in youtube. You cover so much in so little time, i'm very impressed and happy I found you! My short attention spawn was in awe for the entire video.
thank you so much for this! Can't wait to see more! :D
I'm happy to see tht ur vids are finally getting the views it deserves. Your videos are literally god tier
Thank you much for this vid i dont see a lot of copy studies its very helpful!!i hope you do more
Dude you are the best. Keep it up! Ill be watching all of these
Keep it up! This is the first video i watched from you and I love it!
