Don't make these shading mistakes

My brain relies her mouth moves 😢

This is way more useful than a traditional tutorial.

i'd love to see how you did some of these changes, when you changed the hair and hands i have no idea how i would do that without starting over and erasing a lot of that part

how do you pick the color to use for the terminator of your shadows?

The neck/head position looks uncomfortable.
Great rendering tho.

this video is sooo helpful! thank you sm

I don’t know why you’re so hard on yourself - this looks amazing! Nobody makes no mistakes, I bet pros who’ve been artists for 30 years make the same mistakes all the time

This is the most artist struggle video i've seen

... Her voice is so good that I play it when I sleep.

This is one of the best art tutorials I've ever seen

don't tell me what to do.

I love your whole vibe, how did you create that whole character/tuber thing?? Also the hand icon following ur mouse is sick, can you share the sources for all the programs u used for this??

you know, subsurface scat is still too long for my taste,
let's just call it sub scat
isn't it so much better :)

I have never been able to sit through an entire video about lighting but your video was such a joy to watch! Also I love your Frieren art so much! Thank you for sharing so many helpful tips <3

thank!

Thank you, I think my next study I will be drawing along with this video

really good display of a healthy mindset in art!! thank you for sharing <3

thank you for this video! it helps to see a drawing in process like this

P R O M O S M 😣

Why when she turned frieren red i actually got jumpscared somehow

Nah i wont be able to draw never. I cant draw straight line how i AM suposed to draw anything

i love you!!! new subscriber here, it motivates me," just because its a bad drawing doesnt mean you are a bad person" im not 1/3 of your works but im motivated heheh

i think i saw some art tip like 4-5 years ago on tumblr before i even learned to draw: when in doubt, shadows are low opacity purple

I used to follow a twitter account called pikat is learning to draw. I search for it now and it comes up missing. That's you right?

where can i get your brushes

The best instructional video I've ever watched in my life

This is explained easier for me than paid professionals who teach for a living having explain this.

Im in no way a good artist, but does the neck look too thin and long?

i really have the same problema, specially when it comes to NOT DRAWING A CHARACTER IN A WHITE BACKGROUND AAAAAAAAH, I didn't quiet get the solution for that but i guess ill keep with trying and error until i learn o7

This video is very wonderful!! Pikat, this tutorial is made with so much care and your creativity process of art and sharing your learning is something admirable. Thanks so much for this tutorial and you were wonderful!

Great video, great work

Dear god this video was anxiety inducing because it called out to my own mistakes so deeply, and for once I could tell exactly what was going on and how to fix it because you walked us through your mistakes! I went on Photoshop and lowered the contrast a lot on your drawing and it threw a bit of an overlay light on the dark parts and I think I got what you aimed at (or at least what i would be aiming at). This was one hell of an eye opening video, absolutely loved it and thank you for sharing such candid content! I never realised how much I needed a tutorial talking about imperfection instead of unrelatably perfect speedpaints!

I think now I understand how shadows work because where the light hits the subject is still hard to grasp atm

May I know what brush do you use for light source and cel shading?

i just wanted to say this is the bets vtuber model I've seen. Sure some others are more technically impressive but this one is so well made, the pixels are perfect, it's just adorable

And then people wonder why artists are always tired. It's a lot to go through. Lots of studies, always. Your art is amazing, by the way, and I loved this video format, pinpointing your own mistakes to help others (and yourself) improve.

When working on something like drawing, coloring or photo editing is good to step back after some point and do something else so that your mind and eyes reset as your perception can get "distorted" and something that's obviously wrong slips by, now when you come back to resume your work you'll notice that something is wrong with how you colored or drew something, that somehow you didn't notice before

i really love the trial and error pat of a tutorial like this, it’s very real and different from the usual tutorials! pretty cool!

Are u out of breath during recordings 😭😭😭😭

Holy shit this is such amazing video thank you so much!

That was incredibly useful, in fact!

This one was really refreshing.

I learn more stuff from watching someone else make problems and fixing them up than the typical “how to do” tutorial 💜 need more

First time here and found this video randomly. I love the way you did the effects and the little memey stuff here and there. I also really enjoy your approach to this. I always loved to hear how people's thought process on doing things as opposed to just going from point A to B. Everyone learns differently and processes the same information differently and they may notice patterns and mistakes that may get overlooked which could otherwise be incredibly useful to know for artists of all skill level. So thank you for posting!

You deserve alot of subs!!

im incredibly picky when watching tutorial videos, and one of the main factors is the voice of the teacher. And damn i love your voice, it keeps me engaged. It reminds me of those high-quality motion graphic videos that teaches me about nuclear bomb or something

the true mark if an artist is to improve while learning nothing tbh.
