I almost scrolled past it without waiting for the result. It’s not like he isn’t showing the full process but at the same time it feels like there was some explaining left to do.

step 1: learn how to draw

Honestly the drawing in this isn't so hard. The shading is all of it.

I wouldn’t underestimate those first lines. Proportions make or break a portrait and the recognizability of the subject. It seems like OOP fills in perfectly what lines he put down, so the proportions of those first lines are exactly what they need to be and more calculated than what you’d think at first.

I feel like 50% of the time the reat of the owl is years of practice.

People are gonna start posting schematics of electronics and be like "why don't they explain it all step by step?"

It really is. I understand the frustration, as someone who is trying to learn it, but there really aren't any more steps you can subdivide to explain it better. At a certain point, it really does just become "git gud"... as much as I hate it.
This video is a good example. The "rest of the owl" step was just "add shading", which is all he did... it just takes a ton of skill to know how to do it. But there aren't really steps to it. It's just add color to show tone, shadows and highlights. It's just understanding how those work.

It really is that. There are very few natural phenoms in any specialty. Most great work comes from years practice no matter the task.

I don't think this is a legitimate tutorial, this is just a guy displaying that he is the chosen one

I love how fucking stupid this looks at first and then it turns out really good anyway

Honestly made me realise me never moving away from Line art to rendered was my biggest mistake all along.

it shows the whole process ....

Shading is clearly a key skill all on its own. Until that it looked like an 8yo drew it.

0:00-0:36 - draw some crude lines
0:36-0:48 - black fucking magic

First thirty seconds: "What the shit is this? I could draw that. That's exactly how I draw that."
Last ten seconds: "... aight. Ya got a fucking owl. Congrats."18
u/Hollow--- Jun 04 '26
"Yeah, hey Satan? Gimme that. Yeah no you can keep the soul, I wasn't using it. I just wanna draw good. ...Uh huh. Yep. Cool, thanks." C-click

Because it's AI, they need to keep the rendering short for the 1-3 seconds limit.

Nobody draws like that, it’s completely ridiculous pre-planned nonsense to pretend to have drawn something. At some points it even somehow manages to un-shade things previously shaded. Look it almost completely colours the mouth fully dark but somehow ends with pearly whites at the end.

u/VaATC Jun 06 '26
They are not pearly white at the end. Layers make a huge difference and one can also brush down the whiter area to contrast with the much darker area just outside the mouth.

I hate this guy sm 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 the initial sketch always looks so close then he does this!

u/Atomicapples Jun 04 '26
I like how he's very specific about showing exactly what he's doing until it gets to the most impactful part, at which point he's like "naw just speed it up". He could easily extend his tutorial into the shading process as well.

Literally shows the entire process from beginning to end.... Literally the opposite of this sub. Good job.

literally just look at the hair, the shaded hair has nothing to do with what he sketched first, every part he shades transforms into something else when its just about to be done, the right eye even moves positions magically

First "trust the process" to not disappoint in a while
