Learn How To Make Your Art POP By Copying Mika Pikazo

For tbe CMYK effect, there's actually a brush in CSP (i don't remember where I got it) that does exactly that! They're named half tone dots 1 & half tone dots 2 in my brush collection, so not much to go off of unfortuanately :') the grains pretty much look identical though, so I have a feeling that it's what they used (I' ll update if I find the brush pack!) Edit: Found it! 'Simple Retro Halftone Brushes' by pirpi (Content ID: 1802041)

Mika Pikazo's art is only one of the very few art styles I can recognize at a glance. It's just so iconic and the color flow just always screams "Mika Pikazo"

I remember recommending you to recreate Mika Pikazo in one of your videos but Ive never thought you would actually do this. Because Mika is like the Final Boss when it comes to digital drawing (because of the sheer amount of crazy details in it). Honestly I can’t imagine how long it must’ve taken you to study all this, looking at multiple drawings to figure out what’s going on in the painting, draw and edit the video. I’m at a loss for words with the results. You are just awesome and you deserve thousands of followers!!!

Dude, I don't know if you edit your own videos, but the amount of effort is crazy, really excellent. Like the slides where you show the layers, the comparisons between each software (and doing it in every one of them + the traditional halftones), and that ending presentation , with the animated cube (even if it was already a preset), and the little animation of the hair moving for just a few seconds, but giving it a big plus, and also the whole style of editing. And that not focusing on the level of knowledge provided, such useful information, step by step and no skipping steps. It's really insane. The amout of time, human work and dedication is insane for things that just last a few seconds in a really well presented 12 min vid. Congratulations, your effort is outstanding, haven't seen someone making a top quality video like this, ever. <3

at this point I really want you to make editing tutorials lol. your transitions between parts are always so clean and fitting with the artists

This is a great example of “tracing” being used correctly. Beginning artists need to know that tracing isn’t always a bad thing, as long as you’re only using it as a study and not claiming the original art as your own. Your tutorials are always so helpful!!

So impressed that he went out of his way to try doing the halftones in different software

This is the first time I've ever heard of Mika Pikazo. Their art is absolutely beautiful and I hope to reach that level of talent someday. This breakdown video was really interesting! Good job!

I got this weird fixation that I shouldn't trace people's arts, no matter the purpose. I kept trying to draw the line art myself and got burn-out halfway. Now it has become one of my go-to when I try to learn different techniques, all thanks to you. Love, from Vietnam.

The saturated line is called the terminator, it happens at the edge of some shadows in real life, not sure which particular shadows though. Also I love your analyses, so comprehensive and really fun to watch

This channel is a fricking godsend fr, your way of explaining and showing things is an entire league of its own🧎‍♀️

The IRL halftone segment tool me *o-u-t*, I couldn't stop laughing! What an incredible breakdown, entertaining video, and such a useful process for everyone looking to examine how other artists create their works. This was amazing from start to finish!

I've been trying to crack her art style for years so seeing someone else come to the same problem is freaking hilarious to me

My jaw actually dropped at your video editing, pacing, and of course your skills in dissecting art. You my friend have earned a subscriber that will be around for a very long time.

Thank you for featuring sensei by pixiv!

The dedication and effort put in this video is insane.

You gotta be one of the best art youtubers ever. Your way of analyzing complicated works not only makes you achieve great results, but you ALSO help everyone out by explaining step by step what you did, something that most professional artist don't do even in paid courses. I'm truly, TRULY impressed. (And i never ever type comments under any youtube video, so this is how much i admire you)

#1 art channel ever. Thank you so much for going out of your way to analysing various influential artists to provide learning artists a better understanding of numerous concepts❤❤

For those new to Ibispaint, the blur can be achieved by the Gaussian filter (in FX). The half tone can be colored by merging the screen tone to an empty layer and add a new colored layer on top of it with Hard Mix (in blending mode).
