LAM is a Japanese illustrator well-known for creating unique colorful anime illustrations using bold graphic elements. Many of us probably know him for his vtuber, games and music video illustrations. In this video, I tried to figure out LAM’s secret techniques and showing you shortcuts for creating the artist’s iconic style, as well as, my attempt in replicating his style.

  • @swisdom9117
    Damn this video is so darn precise and detailed! Now this is what you call an artist study... I need more of these videos. Imma take a hella lot of notes of how you analysed the art
  • @wishisimple9591
    The editing is on top! My favorite parts will always be your practice and attempts, they look very good!
  • @fordbuan2237
    This video is professionally made, bravo!! I've always been a fan of LAM's illustrations, i couldn't thank you enough knowing the presence of LAM!

    Man ur presentation is an art by itself, im sure many company would pay for the way u present stuff.

    I'd actually like to see a breakdown of Lack-sensei's art, Shiranui Flare's illustrator. I've recently tried and failed to see what his process was, and I was hoping to get a new angle on it before I tried again. You have this willingness to learn which makes you different than most art teachers, and it's really refreshing! Keep up the awesome content!

    before knowing LAM,i already interested with Mika Pikazo artstyle. both of them love using vibrant colors and ornaments,but LAM have this unique style when drawing eyes. and the chara that LAM draws, always the"skinny"type.
  • @norachan30
    i only got interested in LAM's artwork because of his vtuber model designs, and its made me realize that with pro artists such as LAM you really have to be confident about your technique. And thankyou for making this video ive been very uninspired lately but this makes me want to get back into my art and draw more

    Your content was just the type of art content I'm looking for on YouTube! Instant Sub. Insanely high quality editing too! 😩
  • @iXore
    LAM is one of my favorite artist, I searched him up and this is how I got to this channel. I love what you do and I think it's really useful! Subbed for sure, I would also really appreciate it if you can break down Sui Ishida's Works (Author of Tokyo Ghoul) it's been my inspiration for art since I was a kid.😁
  • The clear dedication you put in your videos and your journey inspire me so much! Thank you for such an amazing content!
  • @gizmogimp4419
    Your ability to learn and study these artist is astonishing!
  • @ScarletAnh
    Low key the best thing in this video is how to break down an artwork and derive the bullet point from that. That imo is the most necessary skill any artist need to practice ❤ Cheers for the great video and editing, glad I found out your channel 😊
  • @eggyu17
    I’m crazy impressed by the amount of care that goes into the study, the art and even the editing and video itself!! Every video is top tier

    LAM style is very eyecatching and very cool! Even though I'm not an artist, I still find it interesting how you breakdown LAM's style. Very good video!
