do you have a specific structure when drawing hands cause i s2g you draw the most realest hands out there (ps. your art is amazeballs)

I focus on the basic shapes first, and I find sharp lines best for this (don’t be afraid to exaggerate), like so:

How I hope Sesshomaru met the human mother of his children because I really can’t get behind Sessrin:

Rin: *scrapes her knee*

Random Village Woman: *bandages Rin’s knee and kisses her forehead*

10 inspiring and helpful YouTube channels for digital artists

People are asking us how the art we share can be so good.

The answer this time isn’t so simple. An artist has his own way on shaping his style, he takes his time to experiment and so it becomes quite difficult for others to try learning his art style and making it their own. It’s even wrong.

But we can tell you that many artists learn by getting inspired by others’ art. Watching an artist while he paints can be motivating - and of course it can teach you a few technical tricks.

So, here there are ten YouTube channels you should check out.

1. FZD School of design

It’s a school founded by Feng Zhu, amazing concept artist with a lot of experience in video games, films and commercials. His videos are real episodes/lessons and they are very helpful. And, well, they even have a school in Singapore…

2. China digital painting

This channel doesn’t feature tutorials but shares full video processes by Chinese artist. In this period we are seeing many young artists inspired by an art style that’s typically Chinese - it features dramatic lighting and mood. Though such a technique can be found in other artists like Bouguereau and  Rembrandt.

3. Ctrl + Paint

A channel dedicated to the digital painting in Photoshop. Very helpful for those beginners who want to learn how to use this software and how to get better with art in general.

4. Level Up!

One of the most known groups of digital art of Facebook can be found on YouTube as well. The founders are Wojtek Fus and Darek Zabrocki. Each session (episode) features a different digital artist. This is great because you can compare the different painting processes. The main theme of this channel is concept art and fantasy/sci-fi illustrations.

5. JJ canvas

This is the channel of Jorge Jacinto. He uploads speedpaintings, but they are very inspiring if you want to look at how a wonderful surreal landscape can be created in twenty minutes - in time-lapse of course.

6. Webang111

Another channel with time-lapse videos. Very inspiring if you are into colorful and cartoony illustrations.

7. Ross Draws

His art is wonderful and his videos are super funny! Check out his channel if you want to see how a fantasy illustration can be created from a simple idea - I mean, he starts with two rough lines to close the video with a breathtaking illustration. Crazy.

8. The Portrait Art

Okay, we know. This channel is not about digital art. But it’s amazing art anyway and if you are into realistic portraits, you can get inspired by watching these videos.

9. Cubebrush

Another channel with time-lapse videos, but a few are commented. The videos are about 2D and 3D paintings.

10. Noah Bradley

This artist is a master in the concept field and he doesn’t only talk about his digital method but about his career as well, giving lots of hints on how to become a better artist and how to enter in the art industry.

We hope this post helps you. Good luck!

This didn't age well

This is NOT a SessRin opening!

Many people say that, in this opening, SessRin is compared to InuKag, but I don’t think so. If you see this succession of scenes carefully, you will realize that, while in Moroha’s scene the background images are all of Inuyasha and Kagome, in the part where Towa and Setsuna appear, we see scenes about Sesshomaru’s development as a character and his growth as a person in relation to other characters like Kagura and Kohaku. Those are not just images of Sesshomaru and Rin:

First we see the scene in which Sesshomaru remembers Kagura’s death and says he will be the one to decide if she died for nothing. It’s interesting that here we see the empty stairways; an empty place a person should be occupying, but I don’t think it’s Rin because she is already in the background. Giving us this scene of Sesshomaru thinking about Kagura reminds us of how important she was to him and his development as a character.

Then we have two background images. The first is Rin. This makes sense since we all know she was very important to Sesshomaru’s growth, (after all, she is his adopted daughter.) But in the following image something caught my attention: Sesshomaru is holding Tenseiga and the moon is behind him. This scene is from Chapter 20, when Inuyasha, Kagome and Sango are fighting Naraku, who wants the fragment of Kohaku. At one point, Kohaku is captured but the one who saves him is none other than Sesshoumaru. This scene in the opening is Sesshomaru saving Kohaku. And I love that, because they are indicating how important their relationship is as well. I also find it interesting that just at the moment when Sesshomaru’s two biological daughters appear, Sunrise decides to show two images related to the two human children he cared for. Could that be indicating that they position Kohaku and Rin as his children as well?

Then we have an image that at first glance, seems to be only about Sesshoumaru and Rin, but specifically is when Sesshomaru decides to save the souls that are in hell. That also shows the growth Sesshomaru has experienced, deciding to save many human souls. Finally, the last scene here is from when Sesshomaru obtains Bakusaiga, putting aside his grudge and pursuit of his father’s power and thus acquiring his own sword. In conclusion, I don’t think this opening is trying to validate SessRin, instead, I think it shows the growth process Sesshomaru has had.
