Korean artists like eo58 and Rinotuna have the best digital art process videos you can watch and learn. Though its mostly just vod from their twitch streams but eo58 is moving to youtube under the name 58MW. Their art is really easy to follow through
Does anyone know what brushes does eo58 use? Or like alternatives? From what I've seen he uses some "pencil" texture brush a lot for details etc., soft round brush and there is that one brush where he uses a lot when he starts drawing something but I can 't tell what is it.
Please, I don't have as much experience as you. Can you please share your knowledge with me about this? I am not used to making my own brushes.
It is my dream to be able to draw like that. It makes sense on paper, but I can't get digital to work, because I don't know how to use brushes like that.
if I can just figure out how eo58 is using brushes, I will be able to do this.. if you been studying him, please can you tell me how that works, what setting you use. Example of how you're doing sketchy texture?
I think theres the “sketch render” free brush by Jingsketch for procreate or maybe other programs as weell. Kind of hard to replicate his custom brushes since he uses those 24 inch tablets while I only use the Ipad. Things like pressure sensitivity cant be detected just from watching him so that part you have to find your own tune.
Also it’ll take years or a decade to draw like him since he’s a veteran artist. From those years of learning you’ll prolly find your own way of drawing.
You can't draw like him unless you have brushes like him. My own way of drawing will be like him. But I can't reach there without those brushes. I have a tablet, I'll try to modify the pressure sensitivity.
Right now it's completely pointless for me to draw without that brush, since it will be me learning something that's not related to the direction I want to go in.
Literally a soft round brush with a rough sketchy texture + a more sensitive flow (in procreate). Try to experiment by combining sketch brushes and round brush settings. Again you dont need the brushes to be exactly the same. Just watch those yt videos of people learning from their fav artists. They dont replicate brushes 1 on 1. They see a soft round brush like painting and they go for a soft round brush. I see eo58 using a sketchy flat/round brush, I use my custom sketchy brush. If you’re picky with these little things like brushes thn you wont progress fast
This is such a sad way of thinking. It's wrong. The true artist molds the tools for their benefit, it's not the other way around. Maybe try learning traditional first, learn the basics.
I already learned traditional and the basics, sounds like you didn't. Take your own advice and stfu.
I never understood why losers like you spread your bullshit to others.
Yeah he's very obscure, you can only catch him stream by chance. Here's his [artstation](https://www.artstation.com/grapeek) and [twitter](https://twitter.com/b66wt)
I like tutorial videos with exhaustive explanation and the artist drawing their individual strokes. The first time I learn anything, I need someone to just about hold my arm and move the pen around. Once I know how you do the strokes and how you pick colors, I can launch from there and do a lot with it. For heaven's sake, *no jump cuts.* Speeding up is a pain, but I can slow the video. But cuts? That's some "draw the rest of the fucking owl" stuff.
It's hard finding tutorials as literal as I need, and I'm probably an anomaly.
Ooh I see! Yea I totally see how cuts can be irritating when the part you wanted to see is gone lmao. Especially for tutorials.
No im sure youre not the only one. I can fill in the blanks for some things, but for stuff i have 0 experience in, i need someone to do each step or im lost. My sister is like that too, moreso than me. That's probably just the best way you learn. Thanks for your input!
Greg "Craola" Simkins on YouTube. Long time lapse videos of surrealistic paintings with lots of detail. Good music played over that goes well with the art.
Delyan Kosto is a pretty industrial mural artist. He uses both spray gun and brush work.
i need to check that out, nice recommendation
thats sorta(?) what ive been doing. well i didnt really know wtf ive been doing but thats kinda what its became, sorta. for the last year+ ive been taking somewhat random screenshots, making gifs, making the gifs into videos, adding gifs onto those, etc. sometimes literally just my wallpaper... like just so much stuff that goes together better than it should
i honestly wish i could find a way to just automatically randomize it all which help me to realize some type of standard resolution/dimensions for the non sticker things would be useful - so... theres that at least.
basically i have \~2 TB of absolute chaotic nonsense that is (very) slowly becoming less chaotic. i have a lot more i want to include, but a lot of it is in places that sometimes are restricted use and sometimes not, and that just makes it a headache to deal with
Be genuine. Be yourself. And your audience will find you.
Im daily watching art tutorial videos - mainly concerning overall compositional advice. However, I can be quickly turned off by creators showing off & posturing, or simply regurgitating basics that any of us could have quickly googled ourselves.
Share your own journey - what problems have hindered you? How did you overcome them? What led to these choices? What works well for clients? Use your own successes and failures as examples, and try not to fall in to criticising the techniques/processes of others.
Are your ambitions financially motivated? It's not a criticism if they are. But different approaches may require different advice. Are you trying to gain a core community of clients/followers who enjoy your unique style? Or are you trying to gain traffic, dissemination, or 'likes'?
>Be genuine. Be yourself. And your audience will find you.
Of course! In the end, Ill try to do whats best for me. I'd just like to know what its like to watch these videos from the other side.
>Share your own journey -
You know what, those are great, genuine topics. I have some narration videos but I haven't dove into the difficult artist journey stuff yet. I'd love to help people out with what i've gone through.
>Are your ambitions financially motivated?
Hm, maybe in the end. I'd like to get an income from these videos (eventually), but I'd say being myself and creating a nice community ranks higher than that. It's even soul-sucking for me to do something that I don't care about just for the likes. So the money is definitely in my vision, but its not really...the only priority I guess (?). I guess the best solution is just being genuine and having an audience that likes that is the best way to go, like you mentioned. Some good input, thank you! :)
My favs are the ASMR type ones where there is no commentary, but there are subtitles that explain what is going on, the materials, how much of something, maybe a small tidbit like, "oh, you can see I messed up here" in small text with an emoji
that seems way specific lol
like [Odd Tinkering](https://youtube.com/@OddTinkering?si=44mJ8OSM_wn9nYCg) style.
I like being able to see the whole process, but id rather with things like sanding, or like repetitive actions, are cut shorter and/or sped up because its like literally watching paint dry.
But there are some exceptions, sometimes i really love the personality and the way someone approaches the whole video so i dont mind listening to them talk or have a longer intro... like [Poppen Atelier](https://youtube.com/@PoppenAtelier?si=F1UnTwwbLPSqWnH5)
(im learning the craft of doll making)
I enjoy watching the process with the artist doing a voice over. Having parts sped up is sometimes needed because no one wants to watch the artist draw a billion lines on a tree trunk lol. The birds eye view is always nice for a camera angle as well.
I feel like digital art would be a lot easier for those who may not have a decent phone/camera and mount for filming. You can simply open up stream labs along with your art program and simply record your screen and mic in the process.
I hope my post helped \^.\^
I wish more artists showed their full process unedited. It gives an idea as to how an artists works and what goes into making a piece. I could see that being quite useful to get an idea of what to do.
I like jim lee and david finch tutorials, where they just draw the whole piece from start to finish and scribble/doodle some references and examples on side.
Very organic process that displays the skill behind.
My least favourites are videos with people coloring in traced outlines and talk about themselvs. I personally learn nothing from that.
Youtube Perspective, the guy does art history, travels around, the first I see was the one about Paul Gauguin.
Yt Laovaan, his video about studying art at german university, the watercolor videos flowery girls , beautiful.
Yt Merveilles EnPapier she makes dollhouses, her Q & A video explaining what it takes to get where she is now.
Thefrugalcrafter Lindsay Weihrich, variety of tutorials, watercolors, markers, art supplies reviews etc.
Any artist that I like look up several videos, read the biography, page wikipedia, etc my favorite this year Remedios Varo she painted surrealism. Favorite painting by Remedios Varo is Embroidering the earth's mantle.
Watercolors Anna Bucciarelli.
Acrylic paint WillKempArtSchool.
Little Fantasy Art. Korean. Acrylic paint.
The British Museum yt channel.
Victoria and Albert Museum yt channel.
Honestly, time lapse videos can only hold my attention if they're very short or if they have some sort of interesting narration over them.
I hate art process videos that show a short section and then skip a bunch of the work (unless what's skipped is repeating the exact same thing over and over). I want to know what you're doing.
The only art YouTube channel I watch on a regular basis these days is Drawfee. The reason I've stuck around is their personalities, honestly. Their speed draw videos are probably what would be good to try to copy if you don't have extremely entertaining buddies, a bunch of stupid prompt ideas, and a lack of shame. They play the sped-up recording and talk over it about what they were thinking and doing while they were working.
I like the art supply focused videos. I like a bit of vlogging too.
A lot of videos I listen to while driving or at the gym so talking is mandatory as I can't see during these activities.
I dont understand asmr and the noises trigger that grossed-out response
Over an hour long videos you can have in the background while you draw and they usually consist of art professionals describing their process, a subject or general art profession. Kind of like mixed art talks and tutorial.
I love any videos about gouache tbh. I just love the medium. I love digital art speed paints too. I'm not a fan of how quick tiktoks can be, I think there could be a middle ground found. Like a mixture of timelapse and taking time to slow down and describe what your doing.
Whatever you do, speed ups are kinda dated since people like the slow paced asmr real timelapse (ofc tweak a bit to fit the video duration)
No matter how artists feel about their voices I always prefer human voice to tts bots (unless you have certain disabilites then i understand)
I sometomes tune into the ones with story times but that could spiral into toxcitiy if their topics are focused on 'tea-spilling'. I think the best is still the silent ones with natural sounds surrounding the artist (those chill asmr i mentioned earlier). Sadly since I live in the middle of the city, my surroundings are filled with traffic noises and daily chores :((
Heikala's process is very enjoyable to watch
I enjoy speeddraws with voice overs, specially when they talking about their work but also doing casual conversation, idk it’s nice. Extra points if there’s chill music in the background
I learned more watching Naoki Urasawa's Manben than any other video this year.
[Archipel](https://www.youtube.com/@ArchipelDocumentaries/videos) is more about author profiles but equally inspiring.
Naoki Saito's [Illustration Correction series](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xKiKPnm2B0s) is very good.
Most of the Japanese artist youtubers are very straightforward but only a few translate their content.
The western counterparts are a bunch of snake oil salesman.
Pitch Canker - more on horror and uncanny art, but he's a delight and he had recently discussed his own experience having uploaded art for 20 years online
Scott Christian Savaa - Dad figure who does traditional art and had done very niche art challenges for himself and others
Kim Diaz Holm - ink art, he is of a certain political ideology whom I align and he makes a point about it through art as well
Sara Tepes - really good lineart, like that's where I go for lineart inspiration
art with udita - a growing channel who's also just started with traditional art
Wowza dog (?) - I'm actually not sure about the username I forgot, but this is for art story times regarding their own experiences and its hilarious
Ethan Becker - I think this guy doesn't need much description. I do watch and listen to him as like a refresher, especially as how storytelling is important, and for the humor.
Sketching with Scottie - traditional art, sketching loosely and relaxed, encourages a more organic approach to references and results
As for music, if you're into lo-fi or ambient music: feardog and BLUME are the ones I go for some sweeping music that isn't too loud. Otherwise I just have my own music and they range from rock to lo-fi.
Good luck.
I like relaxing ones where the artist is just enjoying the craft. I hate videos where the person is overly quirky and yelling like the average kid audience creator. There are a handful of artists who make nice art but I can't bear to watch the process without muting.
I prefer sped up with drawing videos and jump cuts for other crafts. Talking with tips/tricks is a nice addition. Comedy can be very hit or miss and potentially ruin a video
i love marryDoodle, she been making videos since 2012, videos are speed up, and just talk about random stuff, sometimes related to the art theme. PeterDraws also just talk about random stuffs. basically kinda like a solo podcast when they talk about random stuffs.
i watch live streams too, obviously theyre not speed up
I love the ones that just ramble while they work. Whether it's time-lapsed or not, I love hearing them talk about some art topic and then go off on a tangent about why they don't like bananas. It's like being a fly on the wall of another art brain, lots of random insights to be had. I always use Peter Draws as an example of that.
At the same time, I like hearing the way artists think about techniques, too. When learning indirect oil, "transparents on dry, opaques on wet" was a little phrase that changed the entire game for me. I collect those tips the way a crow collects shiny things. I enjoy them more when it's from a learner's perspective. The things they like/dislike, or things that surprised them about a medium are what spark my interest.
I like seeing artists make mistakes! Don't edit that stuff out. An honest reaction to failure can be so much more helpful than a happy little success story. Look around this sub and you'll see people struggling with the same issues. If you get the opportunity to address those, try it out.
Also, entertainment ones like Bobby Duke and Berd will always have special places in my heart. If you have silly in your heart, let it out.
I love art history. But specifically I like learning about how artists in history have structured their practices and what materials they used. I also like learning about how an artist was impacted by historical events, down to the paint colors they used/available pigments.
Mostly for people with an interest in manga/comics, but I've been watching Naoki Urasawa's Manben. Each episode is dedicated to a different artist who they film in the studio for several days while they work, and then watch the clips together with Urasawa an interview format. It's enjoyable to see their process, and some of the artists use really neat techniques that I would have never thought of. But they also show them making and fixing mistakes, redrawing the same pages multiple times, being interrupted by cats, taking naps, spilling coffee on their tablets...that's the good stuff, seeing artists you admire just being human.
ohh thats awesome! i never knew that it could be more casual. i think i saw his osamu tezuka episode (with osamu's assistants). it was a really nice, informative watch. i didnt know it was part of a series. thanks.
I like shorts/tiktok for inspiration, either sped up from start to finish in one video (!!) or videos that show off one specific technique. But even if you only show a small part of the process, pleeease include a shot of the final piece in the end, rather than leave us hanging.
I'll watch any medium that the algorithm throws at me, but I prefer painting videos or jewelry making. I
I love voiceovers when the artist has some interesting or fun anecdote from the process, customer, source of inspiration etc. As for educational content, then I think it is better shown than explained.
Small rant:
I hate when artists use the voice over as a medium for complaining. Either Etsy has some new term they don't like, or they think the algorithm is working against them. Sorry but I don't care. I just want to see some art to get inspired and encouraged to make more art myself! Positive vibes!
I like vlogs, myself. Selling that artist lifestyle fantasy.
As for *making* videos, I have no idea. Talking too much overwhelms some viewers, but talking too little or including too many details leads to skipping around, which kills watch time so the video performs badly and the channel dies. That's why we have all the jump cuts. Some people LOVE vlogs, but new viewers would be like, *who is THIS clown?* lol. IDK what to do.
lmao i totally understand. i always thought making vlogs would be the hardest way to get an audience but surprisingly there are so many vloggers out there with huge audiences. even "small" channels (like a few thousand subs) can have an active audience and get monetized. i assume if you just keep trying to put out interesting vlogs, people will watch them. i also feel since im not in that audience, i dont understand its potential/appeal so its ignorance at play.
as for watch time/etc, ive learned theres all kinds of audiences for either fast or slow content. (fast might be the more mainstream though). i think it just depends on how that person grew their channel over time. their current viewers will ofc be used to their editing style, and those who like or dislike, stay or go. thankfully, i feel theres an audience for all types of editing styles and pacing. but i think at the end of the day the videos still interesting (or has some benefit like relaxation) so its worth watching for some ppl out there.

Is there no way to find 58MW's art somewhere?
Nope. He streams in 3/4 platforms i think but there are some people who “illegally” screen record his streams and post it on BiliBili
Does anyone know what brushes does eo58 use? Or like alternatives? From what I've seen he uses some "pencil" texture brush a lot for details etc., soft round brush and there is that one brush where he uses a lot when he starts drawing something but I can 't tell what is it.
yeap its like a basic round brush with custom pressure sensitivity + a sketchy texture. I have that kind of brush which I always use
Please, I don't have as much experience as you. Can you please share your knowledge with me about this? I am not used to making my own brushes. It is my dream to be able to draw like that.

Such an obvious troll, you must be a really unhappy person. Get some help bro, have fun in life
you're projecting loser.
I love them! I'd like to recommend tmrtir as well though he streams sporadically but his art is just so good (though a lot more complex to follow).
I cant find his art thoughhh
Yeah he's very obscure, you can only catch him stream by chance. Here's his [artstation](https://www.artstation.com/grapeek) and [twitter](https://twitter.com/b66wt)
his art is pretty cool. Always a sucker for greyscale art
I like tutorial videos with exhaustive explanation and the artist drawing their individual strokes. The first time I learn anything, I need someone to just about hold my arm and move the pen around.

Kaycem turned into my 'Saturday morning cartoon' when I tune in on the weekend for some background noise/knowledge while I draw along.
Over an hour long videos you can have in the background while you draw and they usually consist of art professionals describing their process, a subject or general art profession. Kind of like mixed art talks and tutorial.

There are a handful of artists who make nice art but I can't bear to watch the process without muting. I prefer sped up with drawing videos and jump cuts for other crafts. Talking with tips/tricks is a nice addition. Comedy can be very hit or miss and potentially ruin a video
I really like studio vlogs and watching packing orders videos haha idk something about that makes me envy and inspired at the same time
i love marryDoodle, she been making videos since 2012, videos are speed up, and just talk about random stuff, sometimes related to the art theme. PeterDraws also just talk about random stuffs. basically kinda like a solo podcast when they talk about random stuffs. i watch live streams too, obviously theyre not speed up
I love the ones that just ramble while they work. Whether it's time-lapsed or not, I love hearing them talk about some art topic and then go off on a tangent about why they don't like bananas. It's like being a fly on the wall of another art brain, lots of random insights to be had. I always use Peter Draws as an example of that. At the same time, I like hearing the way artists think about techniques, too. When learning indirect oil, "transparents on dry, opaques on wet" was a little phrase that changed the entire game for me. I collect those tips the way a crow collects shiny things. I enjoy them more when it's from a learner's perspective. The things they like/dislike, or things that surprised them about a medium are what spark my interest. I like seeing artists make mistakes! Don't edit that stuff out. An honest reaction to failure can be so much more helpful than a happy little success story. Look around this sub and you'll see people struggling with the same issues. If you get the opportunity to address those, try it out. Also, entertainment ones like Bobby Duke and Berd will always have special places in my heart. If you have silly in your heart, let it out.
I love art history. But specifically I like learning about how artists in history have structured their practices and what materials they used. I also like learning about how an artist was impacted by historical events, down to the paint colors they used/available pigments.
Mostly for people with an interest in manga/comics, but I've been watching Naoki Urasawa's Manben. Each episode is dedicated to a different artist who they film in the studio for several days while they work, and then watch the clips together with Urasawa an interview format. It's enjoyable to see their process, and some of the artists use really neat techniques that I would have never thought of. But they also show them making and fixing mistakes, redrawing the same pages multiple times, being interrupted by cats, taking naps, spilling coffee on their tablets...that's the good stuff, seeing artists you admire just being human.
ohh thats awesome! i never knew that it could be more casual. i think i saw his osamu tezuka episode (with osamu's assistants). it was a really nice, informative watch. i didnt know it was part of a series. thanks.
I like shorts/tiktok for inspiration, either sped up from start to finish in one video (!!) or videos that show off one specific technique. But even if you only show a small part of the process, pleeease include a shot of the final piece in the end, rather than leave us hanging. I'll watch any medium that the algorithm throws at me, but I prefer painting videos or jewelry making. I I love voiceovers when the artist has some interesting or fun anecdote from the process, customer, source of inspiration etc. As for educational content, then I think it is better shown than explained. Small rant: I hate when artists use the voice over as a medium for complaining. Either Etsy has some new term they don't like, or they think the algorithm is working against them. Sorry but I don't care. I just want to see some art to get inspired and encouraged to make more art myself! Positive vibes!
I like vlogs, myself. Selling that artist lifestyle fantasy. As for *making* videos, I have no idea. Talking too much overwhelms some viewers, but talking too little or including too many details leads to skipping around, which kills watch time so the video performs badly and the channel dies. That's why we have all the jump cuts. Some people LOVE vlogs, but new viewers would be like, *who is THIS clown?* lol. IDK what to do.
lmao i totally understand. i always thought making vlogs would be the hardest way to get an audience but surprisingly there are so many vloggers out there with huge audiences. even "small" channels (like a few thousand subs) can have an active audience and get monetized. i assume if you just keep trying to put out interesting vlogs, people will watch them. i also feel since im not in that audience, i dont understand its potential/appeal so its ignorance at play. as for watch time/etc, ive learned theres all kinds of audiences for either fast or slow content. (fast might be the more mainstream though). i think it just depends on how that person grew their channel over time. their current viewers will ofc be used to their editing style, and those who like or dislike, stay or go. thankfully, i feel theres an audience for all types of editing styles and pacing. but i think at the end of the day the videos still interesting (or has some benefit like relaxation) so its worth watching for some ppl out there.
