    Even his messy sketches look better than my 5 hours drawing
    **UPDATE**
    don't start it in a professional way guys. Just me saying this but Its not gonna be long if you're not having fun doing it. Just draw whatever feels right and fun then it will get you further and you'll start to learn more. I started with stick figures too. I've always been drawing and learning since I was a kid. It might take a bit of time and effort but seeing the result in the end is what worth it. You may ask yourself sometimes too that did I actually make this xD. it's been 2 years since I posted the comment and I actually improved a lot throughout guys. Just put some passion into it. Drawing is the best part of my life so I won't never get bored of it. ^^

    if you dont know what to draw: Stand up, turn around 3 times, and the first thing you catch your eyes on, draw that and then make it into a theme, for example, if my eyes land on a lamp, I would draw that, and then add butterflies or moths flying around it, so the the theme is bugs. I guess, I don't know if that makes sense.

    Im a perfectionist when it comes to my art. And it does make it harder when it comes to sketching. But one thing that helps me relax is something my dad (an artist as well) told me. He said "Sometimes there is perfection within imperfection. Not everything has to be perfect to look good." And it helps me relax. Cuz even if a line or a circle isn't perfect, it doesn't mean that it looks horrible. The fact that it's not perfect can even make it stand out and look better. Imperfection gives things like a finished piece or a sketch character. It shows that it's...human made.

    That little tip about just taking a page and going nuts on it was actually kinda useful for me. I'm usually a perfectionist when it comes to my sketching, but I decided to just loosen up, and in doing so, I actually ended up with doodling a really cool design for a character that I had been struggling to come up with a unique looking design for.

    I got kicked out of my final art class three weeks before graduation and haven’t touched my sketchbook since May out of fear. My paintings and sketches weren’t good enough, and my advisor went so far as to scribble on them in blue and yellow oil pastel.
    I’ve had this vid in my watch later for a while and I’ve finally decided to watch. I’d forgotten how fun sketching was and this has made me return to it, hopefully practice will make progress and I’ll be in next year’s exhibit.
    Thank you, Jazza, for always being so inspiring

      HylianPopsicle ... Art should never be criticized in that way! It's awful you were made to feel like that! Art comes from the Soul & should always be nurtured! I hope you are now able to create as the mood takes you! Remember, it's about how it makes you feel not about being the best at it!

      I'm so sorry you dealt with that. My drawing 1 teacher had a teacher when he was in school that made him cry and almost give up. But his oil paintings now are incredibly. My teacher had an amazing skill with water and reflections and landscape scenes. He always encouraged us in class to believe that drawing is like learning to drive. It's a skill you can develop through time and energy and preseverence

    • @rachael6511
      @rachael6511 7 лет назад +49

      Wow, that's horrible. I don't know why some art teachers think it's okay to basically emotionally abuse their students. I had a painting class in college and I didn't have much experience with painting so I was always being criticized for my art. Besides, I'm not sure it's fair to grade art because it's so subjective. Just look at what is considered modern art.

    When I sketch most of the time I only use a pencil, no eraser. Not having an eraser around makes me feel like I don’t HAVE to get everything perfect and I can just enjoy sketching without having to worry about that.

    for beginner artists: if a sketchbook seems too daunting, it’s ok, it’s a lot of pages to fill out and there’s so many different types of books. You can just put paper in a folder or binder (i like binders more), you can use those clear folders for your favorite pieces. It helps you feel like you don’t have to finish a book, and you can take out drawings or put them in anytime.

    I've been a perfectionist for a while now, and I'm trying to break out of that mentality because even though it worked when I was younger, and had lower standards and less knowledge of anatomy and what I wanted my style to look like. I always felt like I was improving, for years in fact. But now I've been kind of stuck, and because of my perfectionist mentality, it has discouraged me from drawing anything, and anything I draw I'm never happy with. My anatomy is stiff, I can't draw hands for the life of me, and dynamic poses are like a foreign language. While I now I have improved, for a while it was actually at a really high rate, with almost every drawing looking better than the last. I've been stuck for a while now. This video has inspired me to start working on these things instead of treating my sketch books like the place I draw my finest pieces. To start playing around and using them to help me practice and what not. I've never really placed myself in that "brainstorming" mentality and I'd really like to try it. Thanks, Jazza! : )

    Okay, this video is actually pretty helpful. With every sketch I've been trying too hard and being a perfectionist. I've been thinking I need to sketch like when I was a teen again.. Go back to the beginning. Draw because I want to, and not to try to impress people. I've been looking at every single sketch as something others will see and judge (whether or not I even show them) and then throwing every single one away that I didn't like. For me personally, I think I need to get some more drawing sketch books (so I'm not worried about wasting paper), and to keep my work to myself for a while until I'm confident again.
    Thanks 2017 Jazza.

    -Aim the camera at your paper (basically, it's like drawing with an old tablet but you are watching your hands draw the picture and you never look down at the paper)
    Set the camera's frame rate to a very very low one. For added, challenge set the exposure rate to the highest

    Dear Jazza, Ive followed your work for years now. But in this Video at the second Part "relax" you bring my whole problem to a point - and creates a solution within seconds. Because we all forget what art is all about: to have a great time and to improve pur skills.
    And we often lose this way and put a lot of pressure in our process.
    So, thank you.
    Thank you for the reminder.
    I smile because of your quotes. And the Truth within. It sends me right back to my sketchbook and that feels amazing :)
    You are blessed, man!

There were like evil forces around us and the only way to stop them was by drawing certain things and he was trying to help me from those evil forces that were chasing me. In the end he helped me and let's just say he also had a very nice 6 pack 😉😂

    I’ve been drawing since I was five so about six years and every time I draw I try to learn a new way to make it better and I think it makes your artwork so much better and you can also get better faster so I think this would be a good tip for drawing like, when I started all I could draw was a stick figure with just two dots and a line for a smiley face but instead I added clothes and another line with the arms and the legs I added five French fries for fingers shoes, and hair, after I added hair and I have gone from that to something amazing that I love then I tried digital art I’m still pretty bad at it but like I do for paper art I try to do something different that I haven’t tried if you read to the end I really appreciate you Because this took a long time to write 😅

      My figure drawing teacher had us draw the nude model without lifting the charcoal at all for each pose. We did gesture drawings that way. It was really hard to catch myself lifting my arm off the paper.

    I always fineline my sketches, it really helps steady your hands and practice finelining as my hands get quite shaky. Though I still shade my sketch with pencils to keep it a sketch and never colour it (I’m lazy lol)
    I would really recommend finelining sketches.

    but i wanna watch this
    i dont wanna study
    **cries**
    dont read whats below
    edit: 7 months later i really forgot the score i got and what the test freaking was- i think it was midterms maybe- so then i studied harder this midterms but- got lower scores and because my teachers change, they don't have such high expectations than last year's teacher. looking back, my hobbies have changed, my friends have changed, and i have changed. i like to look back at old comments to see who i was back then, and to be honest, i haven't changed that much. except now i do the same thing except with music- but music can be done simultaneously with studying so im ok.
