Description
I'm probably the perfect example of what not to do when it comes to learning art. For some reason I still want to be of help to others even if my skills are not up to par. Perhaps it is because I don't have anyone willing to do it for me... Being told what to do just isn't going to work for me. I need constant help and support otherwise I get depressed and quit trying.The coloring in video form.

I looked up the game. Now I remember hearing about it a while ago. I think it looks really cool. I mean for a fan game some real effort was put into it.
Is this the character that you were talking about? pokemon-uranium.wikia.com/wiki… I can kind of see the similarity.

I'm a big fan of two toned hair for some reason. I think I gave him too big of a forehead though. >_<

No, I think the foreheads good. Maybe if you showed more of the roots at the front it might look more natural.

Yeah I probably should have.

You draw a lot of full body work. I'm actually afraid of drawing full body drawings. So I think you're a step ahead of me on the road to improvement.

I usually work with Paint tool SAI as well. I do have Photoshop, but I don't really use it.

I don't understand photoshop that much^^
I use it to make rough sketches^^
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
SAI is better for sketching. Photoshop doesn't feel as smooth.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
oh I see.
But I heard that the effects in photoshop are better
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
SAI can export PSD's so it doesn't really matter. You can always import to PS if you want to add effects.

yea I see^^
Can you tell me how you draw this cool eyes?

I like his hair and how the forehead is more exposed. It's more usual to see the forehead covered with bangs, because the style makes for huge foreheads.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I think I tend to draw big foreheads, but I've seen worse.

The only comment I got on it on Gaia is that it's "generic anime". o_O; I've been trying to figure out why originality matters in a coloring video.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
ah, dude that sucks...i dont think it really matters, as long as you like what you're satisfied with yourself and focus on improving, and i dont think its generic >.> i like it a lot
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I feel like I at least showed some different ways of doing things that perhaps may give other people ideas on how to use them to a better extent. So style shouldn't really matter at all when it's more about the tools and how they work.

I feel like I could be faster if I had the confidence in really knowing what I was doing. I felt like I fumbled around quite a bit.

This is really nice! The colors are really good and I enjoy the hair a lot. I don't think there is anything you should be embarassed with on a piece like this ^^

It's a bit like being on the spot when I'm recording. I often want to sit and do corrections, but I can't because it would take more time. I actually stopped twice at the end thinking that I was done, but I had to go back and make new videos and then join them together. lmfao

I livestream sometimes and I take 5-7 hours doing it. I don't care if people think its boring, I do it because I like the company if someone sticks around ^^

If I ever attempted the chat would probably be empty... >_<

you have 3207 watchers. I bet if you posted a journal itd be a crowded livestream

I think after 9 years more than half of those accounts are no longer active. lol I consider myself lucky if I get 5 comments on a drawing/journal entry.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
More than me xD You should try it some time you might be surprised. ^^ If im around I would def watch <33

... Not... up to par? You're on our watchlists for a reason, y'know. (Besides, one of the best ways to learn is to teach, I think. You have to learn to articulate what you've learned, and it makes you want to improve yourself that way you can continue to help others. 
I want to pet his hair, btw...

I think I'm a bit better at coloring monsters and such. I have trouble with humanoid characters.
You might be right. Maybe if I make it some sort of goal to be of assistance to those who want it. I may find some way to better myself in the end. The problem is that I have a huge weakspot and that is my anatomy skills. It'd be nice if I could help people with coloring and have some people help me with improving that.

In what way? From what I've seen, your human characters aren't bad. They are highly stylized, which may be an issue if you're trying to branch out from that. I'm not an expert by any means, but is there anything I can help with?

Basically I don't draw bodies because I don't have the skills to. So most of my art is just floating heads. I wish I had the confidence to practice, but it usually just effects me even more negatively.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
*nods* Similar story with backgrounds here... Really, though, the only way we'll get better is to try one thing at a time. One aspect at a time, yeah? You are pretty good at drawing heads.

I've always been a fan of two toned hair for some reason.
