5 TIPS TO MAKE YOUR ILLUSTRATIONS BETTER

I agree with getting the idea down first and then getting references second. I had an art teacher who would force the class with references first and idea second, it was a bad way to teach.

I just wanted say great advice you got around here. Since I am a freehanded illustrator using traditional mediums, it will be an honor to make a video dedicated to those people who illustrate using traditional mediums. But since I am also looking for editorial jobs I am also looking into tips to make the portfolio better or getting started to making illustration portfolios.

This was really helpful!

Dude, I know this is pretty late in relation to the post, but in this AI infestation era, this is like a beacon of hope.
I love all the tips you listed, and I love even more the fact that you focused on process, and that is a type of information you don't see being offered for free very often.

In summary, thank you for sharing all this marvel. ❤👊

Just stumbled upon this video, and I can't wait to start applying these tips to my own illustrations! Thank you for the helpful advice.

amazing Lucas, I have been a concept artist for so many yeras, and still learn new stuff from you. great chanel!

omg. first the rough sketch then reference 🤯 that makes so much sense 😂 i love how you just talk about everything. I think a lot of people just assume that people know and leave out so much context. just spelling it out again helps a lot! Thank you for amazing content. And im burning to try and implement these on my next illustration!

Great Illustration and very useful tips... thanks

Honestly this is an incredible video that showcases the power of REFERENCES! and that stealing like an artist just means to be smart about all the tools available to you. You could of course copy an image exactly but where is the originality or heart in that? Instead you take all of the resources available and mash them together to create something brand new.

I really like your art styles and the way you break down the art tips.
Love you so much, mate.
Thanks for all the sharing tips and please keep updating the channel.
Can’t wait to keep supporting your work!❤

Thank you!! I do trace out rough and then paint (Procreate) but should I only be using my own photos if I want to sell my stuff? I tag the reference photos I’ve been using.

you are my new favorite art guru!! thank you lucas!!

Very cool. Thanks for sharing

This is the worst bullshit I have ever seen

Nice! What ipad are you using?

Honestly the greatest help for me has been, after seeing this kind of art, making sure to tell myself that this is done by professional artists with much more experience than me. This helps me to be satisfied with my far worse art because I know that all of the things I'm doing, the good and the bad, are helping me become a better artist. All it will take is practice and time!

😍😍

Great video never thought to tell a story for my posts thank you 😊

You touched in story telling, awesome, but can you do a video in this topic and give us lots of good vs bad examples of story telling please. Thanks a million.

Only problem with tip 2 is... I have OCD… so…

How long has it been since you've shaved in this video lol

"we all know those"
me: 😬

also anyone have tips on how to do the storytelling if you're not great at environment or "full body" drawings? like how would you do that with a portrait?

One of the best video

LOVE IT😍

Pretty helpful vid thanks

thank you brother like your video

Great content, thank you! :D

Great video. You keep making excellent videos. I love the fact that for each video you show the process with a new art piece that is relented to the video's title

THANKYOU FOR THE TIPS!

1. Storytelling
2. Start rough
3. Cheat with assets
4. Steal from multiple sources
5. Composition

Hey, man. I'd love to see a video about painting a night environment. I had an indoor night-time commission recently, and there weren't many good videos at all

This was awesome. I learnt so much! Thank you 💟

nice video! it was much needed :)
thanks

Excellent tips, I'm going to put them into practice

Very helpful, Thanks for the great tips!
and also amazing illustration!

not just you ... believe me

Thank god, finally someone who tell about storytelling and composition ! That solid tips mate, thanx and keep it !

i think i'm 'the perfectionist' one. sigh

Traced art does not look like "traced art". It's just theft, so that should be the reason to not do it haha

"5 TIPS TO MAKE YOUR ILLUSTRATIONS BETTER" ... This video was just an ad for your products, ok
