Be careful with flipping, it doesn't JUST give you a fresh eye, it will also make you overthink the importance of symmetry which could result in your art becoming very static and robotic, especially with faces. I was the same, relying heavily on the flipping of the canvas. But one day while drawing I had a curiosity about it, and I decided to grab an illustration from one of my favorite anime which I personally thought looked great and popped it into Clip Studio. Once I flipped the canvas, I couldn't believe my eyes, it looked completely off and bad. If you don't flip the canvas, it's very easy to ignore certain asymmetries, and those may also add to the personality and uniqueness of the image. And when you flip the canvas, your brain looks for asymmetries as the whole point is to find what to fix, so it will often list those off as mistakes when in reality they make no difference or even improve the image. Flipping the canvas also makes spotting actual structural errors very clear as well, so you should still use it. But you need to know what to use it for so you don't overdo it. I've had to learn to like what I'm making, even if when I flip it it jumps at me at first. Things you should definitely still look out for and use flipping for are the balance of the body to make sure that they aren't leaning or falling over when they aren't supposed to be, and certain facial proportions like the height of the eyes and the width of the head. But again, don't overvalue these either, they don't need to be perfect to look good. When you flip them they may jump at you at first but these details are so minimal you don't really see them unless you flip, and they aren't really mistakes so it doesn't matter. Hope this helps. I'm a pretty young artist and this is just something I personally discovered, I hope it helps! Your art is great by the way, keep it up!
I think flipping the canvas is very helpful for drawing heads or figures in frontview. Especially for starters. 3/4, sideview and other dynamic angles don't need to flip. In reality, human face isn't perfect.
@@Purekamot101 Yeah you're right, hell, even for those angles you mentioned you don't need it, it can still be a huge help. Just make sure you're actually fixing something and not just being perfectionistic by removing any imperfection there is. I myself still flip all the time, I just do it less frequently than I used to and I make sure to be skeptical of what I'm looking at as a mistake.
There's also another catch to flipping the canvas: if you do it too much through your whole process then the "fresh view" of your drawing wont be fresh anymore and you wont be able to actually spot the problems anymore. for example, when drawing a full body figure, you basically shouldn't need to flip the canvas more than 2 times total, 3 times max, in your entire art process. And those should be within the sketch phase, not after; it's pointless to flip the canvas when you're past setting the structure of your drawing because that's what flipping the canvas is good for
So this might be obvious already to some (more experienced) artists, but I want to mention that in order to study from photo reference, you already need to kind of understand the general anatomy of the thing you're drawing. In this video you can see that Niro isn't really copying the reference in the most literal sense, but _constructing_ each drawing. So reference isn't just for replicating a 2D image, but also for _understanding_ the thing you're studying. This is why it makes sense to draw skulls, you will gain an understanding for the underlying 3D shape that's in every head, it's just the base where muscle, fat, skin etc. is placed on top of. Then for understanding what shapes you're seeing, that's where all the box/sphere/cyilinder/etc. practice comes from. If you know how to shade a cyilinder and a sphere from different light source angles, you will know how to get the base shading of for example an upper arm, and it can help immensely to strengthen the 3D depth your drawings have. I don't really think there's a set order in which you have to practice all these different things, since you can just alternate between them whenever you notice you're struggling with how to draw something specific. So I don't think it's generally laziness that makes people avoid studying from reference, but more like the question of HOW to do it exactly is what can make it uncomfortable. There's a million ways to do gesture drawing, it depends on what you want to focus on and what your goal is as an artist. Animators will study poses with a bit different intent than illustrators/concept artists, even though there is a lot of overlap in the method of practice. So in short: make sure you know what you want to learn to draw and define it as concretely as possible. Draw a lot from various sources of reference, study from real life if possible, or high quality 3D models, or photos that show different angles of the same thing, but don't be afraid to learn from various professional artists as well. Every artist has their own way of "problem solving", e.g. how they approach drawing hands and what details they keep or how they stylize or simplify things.
This video was super helpful!! It's good to know the specific areas of learning you need to focus on since art is such a broad subject, this was also entertaining 💪‼ (i only just realized you draw a lot of Chainsaw Man characters 😭I love the Quanxin and Power pieces!)
Actually I've been searching for this kind of video! I was feeling really lost as to where to start with drawing and how to go forward from that. But your simple straight forward approach has really helped me to set realistic study goals. Thank you so much and I look forward to your next video!❤️
Finally, a CZcams who draws as the art style I aim for! thanks for the video,I’ve been struggling with practise and all that, looking forward to more videos
Great video man! I think patience is a big factor to getting good. Like you said it doesn't just happen over night so if you stick with it and try to improve anyone can get really good!
How do you go about studying anatomy? because whenever I watch other people, they always sketch anatomy differently and when i try to study it, I feel like I'm just drawing random lines and shapes with no real direction, did you just follow a reference on an anatomy study and went from there?
that's a broad subject but i do know that you have to draw a lot to get the hang of it . think of it as riding a bicycle you can learn by studying how to ride a bike but you'll never know how to ride until you've tried riding one, so just draw a lot
@slotess if you don't have a clear idea of what the human anatomy is and how it works, your brain won't really know how to make sense of the lines you should do. Try looking for multiple references for every part you need to practice. Ex: 4-5 photos of arms and the muscle schemes. So you can draw those arms and muscles, and then fill another page or two with your own angles of an arm using the first ones as reference to really learn it. Then do that again with legs, and then the back, neck, feet, hands, etc. But yeah, at the end of the day it comes down to filling those pages and drawing a lot, practice however you're comfortable and sometimes not so comfortable, and challenge yourself. Also, knowing the skeleton, and the positions in which can and can't work, is a huge difference when making poses and anatomy practices You'll be better in no time.
Tried doing the same thing but I can’t honestly do it, it feels difficult along with the whole sketch it out which isn’t my vibe but in order to get better I’ll have to try it but I still don’t know if it’s actually worth it but I have to get the time to actually learn something new which is also out of my comfort zone and time
@@Jojo-xg2kr there are various tricks you can apply to your sketching to make you feel more comfortable with your drawing. You can try doing little circles where every joint goes so you know the proportions before doing the limbs, you can do dots and then connect them with straight lines and then do the limbs on top, you can do a whole scribble with a single line and just do a quick doodle of a human form, erase it a bit, and then draw on top of it. There are a million techniques, but you must find the one that suits your style and personality. It is very common to start doing a sketch, tracing where the head is going to be, then the neck and shoulders and right away you feel like it's not going well. But it's important to trust the process, keep doing lines, keep adding detail until it looks decent and it makes sense. If your sketch seems weird, remember, that's the sketch... You can erase it and draw on top of it way more detailed, then erase it again and draw it again, each time with more detail and understanding of what you're doing. But most importantly, Have Fun! Good luck.
Draw from videos of anatomy applied to body-building and to kinesthetic studies. There are a lot in CZcams with the global movement explained and the muscles and bones described in detail.
How long have you been drawing for? Are you like me where you've drawn your whole life with no fundamental practice? Or did you just pick it up a year ago? It's always nice to see how much a person can improve with proper consistency!
I got interested in drawing about 3 years ago but I only started taking it seriously for the past 10 months practicing everyday until it became a habit
i really enjoy this video, i already draw but i don't know the basic stuff and this video helped me a lot to start caring about my art a lot 🥺 i really hope this video gets a lot of views to help many other people to start drawing and enjoy this beautiful thing 💕
You know I love that I was asking myself how should I start learning the fundamentals and improve my art, and this video came up. Your amazing and it really motivated me thank youuu so much 🥹
would love to see more content like this!! learning how to draw rn is rough when everything takes so long, but I think stuff like this helps reminds me that i gotta brush up on my fundamentals!
I'm super late commenting here, but I adore the way you draw hair, I am in awe of how you can stylise it in such a way from just looking at photo references of people. Are you planning on doing any hair tutorials specifically?! I'd honestly die for it!! Regardless, your videos have been helping me so much lately, so thank you so much for your hard work!! 🥹
This is great. I've stoped drawing in 2015 but I'm urging to come back, if you happen to have any content about "how to get back on drawing" would be amazing. Cheers!
I recently started practicing drawing and I even had someone lend me a digital tablet but I've always been really bad at art and it's very discouraging when I spend hours trying to copy a reference and my drawing ends up looking awful. I know it takes time and I just have to keep practicing but man, why are my hands so cursed. Great video btw.
This happens with me too,,I want to learn to draw too and get better at it,,but since I didn't get admission in any art college,,I feel kinda sad and discouraging,,I don't know if it worth it !! Can u suggest me something,,r u in an art school,,or learning it only by yourself!? Btw have a nice day
Helpfull, if I think some people might people just give up on drawing after seeing this video cuz they couldn't accept the reality that drawing ain't going to be fun at the start , instead it's about grinding experience like maniac, if I wasn't strong willed I would already quited drawing now
Very nice.. easy to understand, direct to the point, this is one of the best video tutorial... This kind of teaching if amazingly beautiful. No waste talks....
I'd like to add something to this great video, and that is to take some notes during a study session, that helps a lot to memorize and recall the topic you want to learn. I've been doing that these days and it's very helpful! How that helps you out too guys!
I wish this was true for all artist. I skipped anatomy and traced a lot till my hand got a understanding on line work. From there I would just draw characters I love and styles I am interested in. 2 years later my art makes livable cash and galleries help me grow.
I’ve been drawing almost my entire life and I honestly suck because I only ever liked drawing portraits and avoided drawing bodies and paying attention to lighting, shadows, anatomy, perspective which is why today I struggle so much when I draw. And now that I’m trying to learn back from the basics boiiii did I miss out on a lot of important things that actually help you do better with your drawings!
found this video hoping it’s not like those other ones and not slow and just straight up to the point and i’m glad this video came when i searched for it! i’ve been wanting to draw for a very long time and i have no idea where to start and basics so thank you for this 😊
Absoultely love this video, raelly hope you post more videos like this or even tutorials would love to see them your forms are so clean envious and desire to get there, Also what software do you use and brush and how do you go about picking the size of a brush in response to a canvas? this has always been something i've been fairly fuzzy on
My personal opinion is that the study of anatomy for artists is of great importance at the initial stage. And copying exactly the drawings on anatomy that were drawn by professional artists is very useful. I am now studying the human skull and have already drawn many drawings on this topic, and also recorded a video of how I draw. This process lays down basic knowledge in the subconscious of the novice artist, and then the artist intuitively makes art with the correct anatomy of the face and body of the character.
good video, although I'd say it's about 1-2 years early, a lot of good points were made. I do look forward to seeing you remake this kind of video in a couple of years to show what else you've learned and how to apply it. the main thing here is you had the confidence to make this video even with only about a year of experience, that takes guts. And you are definitely progressing faster than usual, especially with the ideas of learn anatomy before stylizing it and learn the basic FUNDAMENTALS, that is a rarity in newer artists today. it's like a quote I heard from an expert artist, "If you can't make a simple shape interesting, then what use is drawing a complex shape." or something like that. 😅 last thing I'll say is a quote that goes into the last thing you said, " Try and Fail, but don't Fail to Try" good luck on your art journey 🤞
Thank you random internet person that pop out of casuality in my suggestions. This video has motivated me and show me more ways to improve. You carefree strokes remember me that drawing studies is about learning and not doing a pretty picture, and for that I am really greatfull
I appreciate this video so much. So many golden points. My main takeaway, though you didn't say it directly, is to stop drawing those picture perfect korean girls and instead practice with action poses like people playing sports or an instrument. Also, draw what you see and always start with the simple shapes and angles
some comments make me remember the first point that I stated from into exploring my passion of drawing and painting , everything used to seems like a gorgeous ,wonderful , interesting ,amazing and something I have a huge would to do it and go through it just from trying to describe what had stole my attention and gained my love and became my pathway , it is another world and complex lifestyle , the art of emotions , anime and carton , you might not have the ability to get all the point if you haven't experienced this ever before
a good tip to observe is when I draw (and as I use the pomodoro 25 min), I observe the referece that I'm gonna draw for 5 min, and then I start drawing I also hugely recommend watching the video from Marc Brunet: Observation Skill, it totally changed my way to draw
This video has gotten me excited to learn how to draw. I've always liked drawing but always did it sporadically (usually anime characters and sometimes video game characters) so there was always a lack of consistency. I have attempted a few times to get into drawing but never really stuck with it due to bad habits. My best friend recently told me that he bought me a drawing tablet because I've always spoke about wanting to draw so now I want to take it seriously. However, there is so much to drawing so I don't know where the best place to start is. I thought I should start with anatomy because that seems like the most important but then you mentioned learning how to draw shapes so I'm not sure whether I should draw shapes to then be able to start studying anatomy. What should I do?
ive started taking drawing seriously like a week ago and one thing ive learned was that almost everything you will draw will include 3D shapes. for example, I wanted to learn how to draw hands, so I started drawing rectangles and cylinders in different angles and perspectives so that i can build the structure first and then go off what i have. Basically, start with the basic form and then once you're comfortable, start adding complexity to it. I hope any of this helps
to improve your observational skills, you should be drawing from life since you have to create the illusion from 3d to 2d yourself whilst on a computer screen its already compressed.
Wow great video! This would be a nice simple guide if I were starting out learning about art and even with some experience and trying different things myself hearing your own approach to studying is really helpful. I also find that first forcusing on observation and then moving on to the fundementals while staying consistent in practicing generally works really well; also I love the editing and the timelapses, I've drawn from around half of the references you showed too, pinterest is the best👌👍 I look forward to your future videos, I also enjoyed the previous manga ones, I like the proportions you use for characters a lot
4:37 The original quote is "If you steal from one author it's plagiarism; if you steal from many it's research." - Playwright, Wilson Mizner. (Google is your friend.)
hii ! thank you so much for this tutorial! it's been so helpful. I am thinking of starting digital art and was wondering if there were any specific platforms you would recommend?
I just discovered your channel and watched your video and found it to be extremely informative. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us! By the way, I was wondering if you have any interest in multi-angle character creation?
A word of advice: always use reference from photos, not other artists' work. Otherwise, you risk making the same mistakes as they did in their work. Using reference is not the same as drawing a study of a piece.
Be careful with flipping, it doesn't JUST give you a fresh eye, it will also make you overthink the importance of symmetry which could result in your art becoming very static and robotic, especially with faces.
I was the same, relying heavily on the flipping of the canvas. But one day while drawing I had a curiosity about it, and I decided to grab an illustration from one of my favorite anime which I personally thought looked great and popped it into Clip Studio. Once I flipped the canvas, I couldn't believe my eyes, it looked completely off and bad.
If you don't flip the canvas, it's very easy to ignore certain asymmetries, and those may also add to the personality and uniqueness of the image. And when you flip the canvas, your brain looks for asymmetries as the whole point is to find what to fix, so it will often list those off as mistakes when in reality they make no difference or even improve the image.
Flipping the canvas also makes spotting actual structural errors very clear as well, so you should still use it. But you need to know what to use it for so you don't overdo it. I've had to learn to like what I'm making, even if when I flip it it jumps at me at first.
Things you should definitely still look out for and use flipping for are the balance of the body to make sure that they aren't leaning or falling over when they aren't supposed to be, and certain facial proportions like the height of the eyes and the width of the head. But again, don't overvalue these either, they don't need to be perfect to look good. When you flip them they may jump at you at first but these details are so minimal you don't really see them unless you flip, and they aren't really mistakes so it doesn't matter.
Hope this helps. I'm a pretty young artist and this is just something I personally discovered, I hope it helps!
Your art is great by the way, keep it up!
I've found myself using flip a lot, so thanks for the heads-up!
I think flipping the canvas is very helpful for drawing heads or figures in frontview. Especially for starters. 3/4, sideview and other dynamic angles don't need to flip. In reality, human face isn't perfect.
@@Purekamot101 Yeah you're right, hell, even for those angles you mentioned you don't need it, it can still be a huge help. Just make sure you're actually fixing something and not just being perfectionistic by removing any imperfection there is.
I myself still flip all the time, I just do it less frequently than I used to and I make sure to be skeptical of what I'm looking at as a mistake.
@@fidboi2715 another alternative for flipping is viewing your drawing with one open or use gridlines.
There's also another catch to flipping the canvas:
if you do it too much through your whole process then the "fresh view" of your drawing wont be fresh anymore and you wont be able to actually spot the problems anymore.
for example, when drawing a full body figure, you basically shouldn't need to flip the canvas more than 2 times total, 3 times max, in your entire art process. And those should be within the sketch phase, not after; it's pointless to flip the canvas when you're past setting the structure of your drawing because that's what flipping the canvas is good for

Absoultely love this video, raelly hope you post more videos like this or even tutorials would love to see them your forms are so clean envious and desire to get there, Also what software do you use and brush and how do you go about picking the size of a brush in response to a canvas? this has always been something i've been fairly fuzzy on
My personal opinion is that the study of anatomy for artists is of great importance at the initial stage. And copying exactly the drawings on anatomy that were drawn by professional artists is very useful. I am now studying the human skull and have already drawn many drawings on this topic, and also recorded a video of how I draw. This process lays down basic knowledge in the subconscious of the novice artist, and then the artist intuitively makes art with the correct anatomy of the face and body of the character.
good video, although I'd say it's about 1-2 years early, a lot of good points were made.
I do look forward to seeing you remake this kind of video in a couple of years to show what else you've learned and how to apply it.
the main thing here is you had the confidence to make this video even with only about a year of experience, that takes guts. And you are definitely progressing faster than usual, especially with the ideas of learn anatomy before stylizing it and learn the basic FUNDAMENTALS, that is a rarity in newer artists today. it's like a quote I heard from an expert artist,
"If you can't make a simple shape interesting, then what use is drawing a complex shape." or something like that. 😅
last thing I'll say is a quote that goes into the last thing you said,
" Try and Fail, but don't Fail to Try"
good luck on your art journey 🤞
wow! Thank you for the motivation my friend. I really need this.
This video is just marvelous! And your art are so characteristic, thanks for your sharing, it's really inspiring!
Thank you random internet person that pop out of casuality in my suggestions. This video has motivated me and show me more ways to improve. You carefree strokes remember me that drawing studies is about learning and not doing a pretty picture, and for that I am really greatfull
This was a great video i can definitely see u getting a lot of success on yt 👍
The hardest thing for me in perspective is the measurement on how long or short anything should be based on the angles you are trying to capture.
Nice work
Nice video
Everything is good
Good luck ❤❤
Your video helped me a lot,your understanding of the arts is special that benifit me very much!
I’ve been having a dilemma on my art ever since my birthday in November, this really helped thanks :)
I appreciate this video so much. So many golden points. My main takeaway, though you didn't say it directly, is to stop drawing those picture perfect korean girls and instead practice with action poses like people playing sports or an instrument. Also, draw what you see and always start with the simple shapes and angles
Your motivation 👍

some comments make me remember the first point that I stated from into exploring my passion of drawing and painting , everything used to seems like a gorgeous ,wonderful , interesting ,amazing and something I have a huge would to do it and go through it
just from trying to describe what had stole my attention and gained my love and became my pathway , it is another world and complex lifestyle , the art of emotions , anime and carton , you might not have the ability to get all the point if you haven't experienced this ever before
Thank you 🙏 this is what I wanted from a video like this

Thanks for this video dude! Very helpful and explained things clearly
Niro: So, the first step is to train your eyes to see better.
Me who's shortsighted: Damn.
Great observations, in the end studying and practicing is the key, thank you!
5:05 dame those references. I never find such a cool guys to redraw...
I am so glad I subscribe to you because this is the best advice I ever had thank you so much ❤
Wow! I really like your art style. Thank you so much for this helpful video, you gave me inspiration I needed ❤🔥
The finish is the best...Thanks Bro!!
a good tip to observe is when I draw (and as I use the pomodoro 25 min), I observe the referece that I'm gonna draw for 5 min, and then I start drawing
I also hugely recommend watching the video from Marc Brunet: Observation Skill, it totally changed my way to draw
thanks for doing this video, i wanted to get some motivation, and your video really helped me a lot!
awesome! I should go back to these studies, they're really helpful, ty for the video ❤
0:19 I'm dead 😂. This is literally me !
I really like your way. Thankyou for simplifying everything. Thankyou so much
This video has gotten me excited to learn how to draw. I've always liked drawing but always did it sporadically (usually anime characters and sometimes video game characters) so there was always a lack of consistency. I have attempted a few times to get into drawing but never really stuck with it due to bad habits. My best friend recently told me that he bought me a drawing tablet because I've always spoke about wanting to draw so now I want to take it seriously. However, there is so much to drawing so I don't know where the best place to start is. I thought I should start with anatomy because that seems like the most important but then you mentioned learning how to draw shapes so I'm not sure whether I should draw shapes to then be able to start studying anatomy. What should I do?
ive started taking drawing seriously like a week ago and one thing ive learned was that almost everything you will draw will include 3D shapes. for example, I wanted to learn how to draw hands, so I started drawing rectangles and cylinders in different angles and perspectives so that i can build the structure first and then go off what i have. Basically, start with the basic form and then once you're comfortable, start adding complexity to it. I hope any of this helps
@@halo_2goodSo like learning how to draw a cone, then cylinders, then a cone with small cylinders replicating a hand?
to improve your observational skills, you should be drawing from life since you have to create the illusion from 3d to 2d yourself whilst on a computer screen its already compressed.
Wow great video! This would be a nice simple guide if I were starting out learning about art and even with some experience and trying different things myself hearing your own approach to studying is really helpful. I also find that first forcusing on observation and then moving on to the fundementals while staying consistent in practicing generally works really well; also I love the editing and the timelapses, I've drawn from around half of the references you showed too, pinterest is the best👌👍 I look forward to your future videos, I also enjoyed the previous manga ones, I like the proportions you use for characters a lot
GREAT VIDEO!!!! You nailed every point. ESPECIALLY USING PINTEREST! Its crazy how not enough artists utilize that app for learning!

I just discovered your channel and watched your video and found it to be extremely informative. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us! By the way, I was wondering if you have any interest in multi-angle character creation?
A word of advice: always use reference from photos, not other artists' work. Otherwise, you risk making the same mistakes as they did in their work. Using reference is not the same as drawing a study of a piece.

Love the content 😍I feel that you will do great 😄
