I try to paint on just one layer, and walk you guys through the process while I’m at it. Shoutout to my IG fam for suggesting this …

why did you use a layer when paint with photoshop??
Me who has always drawn and animated with 1 layer: you know I had to do it to em
Aww baby sam😢
1000% agree with each and every word – I'm just starting to get into digital painting and find the layers break my flow. Fortunately my first teacher was a talented African kid who said to me plainly "Confession. I don't do layers" – he said, "If I make a mistake, just paint over it" – with one sweeping flow, we completed our first great painting in a matter of a few flowing minutes – super fun. Even after just seconds we could see the painting emerging. I could see this process was very highly addictive and he admitted he spent all of his waking hours just painting. However: he said that this approach required good knowledge of traditional art basics, perspective, lighting, shadow and required a lot of practice.
Contrast: I had a 2nd teacher who said: "Confession. I'm a layers freak." I got so confused and disheartened I nearly gave up. However: she still also create a wonderful painting in a few minutes, but it seemed more akin to putting together a complex jigsaw puzzle. We had to do a lot of plotting and planning and knowing EXACTLY the staging. Lots of tactical and strategic thinking and movement requiring intricate knowledge of many effects and layering process – very little painting flow.
It's great to see how much more comfortable you are in front of the camera now, in comparison to 2 years ago c: Keep on the grind Sam
when sam was nervous
It's funny that this is kinda difficult for digital artists lol Since this is the only way to do it with traditional painting (actual painting).
But, i find it more difficult to paint digitally on a few layers than traditionally. In traditional, it's the feel of the materials, the texture that i find soothing. When i paint digitally, i have less control, the pen slides awkwardly on the smooth surface
Brilliant drawing! It is so beautiful! I really like it!
I ain't ever seen you do an environment piece in action before lol
This is my first time seeing this background-
I feel like as Sam goes on he sounds more and more like hes whispering into the mic because his parents are sleeping in the other room and they dont know he has a youtube channel; it really caught me off guard to hear him almost talking at a normal volume
As a traditional painter who's segued into digital art in the last few weeks, I still find myself constantly forgetting to use layers ahah
traditional artists: look what they need to mimic a fraction of our power
The first drawing I did on the artpad was on one layer cause I didn't know how to use layers or blenders lol
It actually didn't turn out that bad surprisingly
But I've definitely gotten a lot better
I just tried to click and close the navigator tab in this video as if im working on photoshop, then realised video got paused😅, lol. side effects of not getting enough sleep 😅, btw great work Sam, im always amazed watching your videos
Him: if u ever did traditional painting…
Me who is literally a traditional and hasn't done digital yet: ummmm…
0:04 me and my autism:
Wow, I enjoyed this artwork. You have done an amazing job. Keep up the awesome work. Stay connected.
Acrylic is actually really forgiving… if you mess up add a thicker layer of whichever colour you need to fix it so it doesn't dry too fast. Or I've even redone simple whole sections. Pretty easy and somehow feels like you learn lessons of life through the process xD
Felt a lot of info I had and knew clicked in a more practical/ baby experience way too… this I can't explain lol I don't really mean with the art but that too
Sorry for my redundancy and many comments… pretty new here and had some time… I really like your channel. Inspired my to draw and use my watercolour pencils again. I've mainly been using acrylics and have neglected my roots lol which I was never that good at oddly enough … and got real rusty … anyhooo thanks for the videos 🇨🇦
I only use like 1-3 layers beyond that is like math with letters
Kool
For me it’s hard to use layers, I’ve been drawing traditionally for YEARS. Now making the switch is so painful. I feel like I need to have layers and it feels more complicated.
I do it in only one or two layers
you can tell this vid is old if sam has a chair
I don't know about you guys, but I've been drawing on paper for 20 years, and only recently ( 2 years ago) I started using some digital tools, however, my main base still is traditional. My "layers" are just some cheap print paper lol I use them, usually 3 or 4 before I use the final "expensive " piece of paper. A light table is a good investment in this case 👍🏻 So, "layers" aren't just a "digital royalty", "layers" are literally just a sheet of paper 😉
whenever i do draw things, which isnt a lot, i use like 20 layers lol, cause i mess up a lot and like to be able to make it look decent at least. i like traditional art when im bored and my apple pencil is dead but the fact i cant use layers is annoying
Sometimes i think it's wrong to campare traditional art and digital art cuz the out come in both art comes out different too we do not expect traditional art to be soo detailed but if digital art do not look so detail it looks kinda off ngl
Anyone agree?
you still have the background laye-
how could u make something so good
with 1 layer??
You don't need a lot of layers for profesional art…. background, middle ground and foreground or background and character… and a few effect layers or lighting layers.. that's it, you can change a lot with that…
Everyone should do this challenge every now and then. It’s good for you.
Yes i can
This art piece is so… attractive for me. It's very beautiful
Traditional artists:
Mortals think you can go underneath the lines, FACE OUR PAIN
My recent painting of a landscape was 41 layers
Sam could you post this photo on Instagram or somewhere where we could admire your skills. Love the piece 🔥❤
I wonder who invented layers
welcome to watercolor (;
for me, I use a lot of layer modes, so merging them together means I can't really change stuff in the layers. I do organize stuff in folders though. I only merge at the end cause color correction only works on one layer at a time in csp
i love layers
"this video should be called, "painting normally, but digitally "
Well there goes my excuse of not being able to make good art cause tayasui sketches doesnt have layers
I do
