I made every mistake in the book when learning to draw. We all make the technical mistakes around proportions, straightening poses etc. But working through those are more like rites of passage, things you have to go through to learn. This video is more about the mindset problems that really slowed me down. 
Хобби
I don't remember who said it, but I like the sentence "I want to create beautiful things, even if nobody wants to see them"
The silly thing about art/artists is their desire to be so outside the box they forget that the box even exists. I think art is one of the most redundant forms of human expression while being captivating. Does that say humanity is a redundant entity on earth? No other life form feels the need to be smarter than it is. Which is a funny thought for me.
I feel like this video is more of a therapy session than an artist's master class. Lol. We all have issues right?
saul bass was his name
I’m learning to draw and this sentence means a lot. I’m currently learning to draw and…my family doesn’t like it. Either they annoy it, or make fun of it.
For example I started was learning to draw around my winter break, and one day I choose to draw a spider verse miles. But my brother/twin came in and just BICKERED about me drawing, saying it’s a “white person thing”….
After he said that I quit for 15 days, and cried most of the time then. The funny shit was as soon my mom found out that I was learning to draw she said “oh you could make money by drawing you know. Try drawing me. You need to focus on your future…” blah blah blah.
(So sorry this kinda long)
She didn’t even cared that I was drawing good since it was after break. She just wanted me to draw just for the money. Im very creative. I managed to draw stupid good drawings back at elementary school. Now that Im in high school I’m not allowed to lock my door to “talk to people online” as my mom says it. This why this sentence means a lot to me. Since I got no friends, all the drawings I got saved on my phone is just for me. I’m *HOPING* someone else can see it…but nope. I say fuck my family, I’m still drawing today, going out my comfort zone. But it still hurts.
"nobody wants to see them"? no way. if an artist truly believes their own art is beautiful, people will love it
Have you been watching me? I'm making all fof those mistakes. thank you so much for making me realise why I started this. I'm 72 and only just beginning to learn, so I have a long way to go- but I will stop trying to be perfect all of the time and try and draw from my heart.
The "Being horrible to yourself" really hit me. I started to draw at my 25 and i used to though about the why i was doing that little draws as a grown man
because it's relaxing and fun and you're allowed enjoy yourself 🙂
Thank you Kenzo, I've been studying art for the past couple years and I just realized completely forgot the whole reason I started drawing. I am studying art, so that I can get better at transferring all the ideas and imagery in my head to paper.
It's as if I wanted to be a writer and I only studied grammar for the past couple of years, completely forgetting about all the stories I wanted to write to begin with!
I can totally relate to that!
I'm really glad to hear that I'm not the only one who refused to learn skills. I made so many excuses for not learning anatomy; I don't want to draw realistically, I'll get stuck drawing that way if I learn etc. I really started frustrating myself because I have so many ideas and characters I want to draw but refused to learn for so long. Now I'm 26 and on day 3 of actually trying to learn figure drawing and sticking to doing it a lil bit every day.
I've found that ego is the worst for artists, especially once you're out of your teens. "I'm x years old I should be better" as if age and not practice has any bearing. Or even thinking something looks simple enough for you to do to fluff up your ego a bit. But you know if you tried it you'd struggle so you avoid any challenges and get stuck drawing the same safe stuff over and over. I hope I can break out of that this year with figure drawing and learn lots of new things!
you've really articulately described the experience 95% of artists learning as adults have. if you can manage those mindset issues which you're aware of, you'll go far
@@lovelifedrawing It's definitely not fun to grapple with but I'm happy I've become aware of it. It's amazing at how much mindset can affect you artistically. But here's to kicking this mindset issue's butt and growing as an artist!
@@XerexKuro How was your learning experience so far?
@@gyrow1684 Been great so far! I completed the Fresh Eyes challenge which really helped train my eye in understanding the pose I was seeing and accurately getting the pose down. I kept doing daily figure drawing for about an hour or so for a good while but have fallen off a lil. I still practice but not as often but trying to make more time for that still. I highly recommend trying out the Fresh Eyes challenge if you've been stuck with figure drawing.
For me personally, I’ve been struggling on and off with several mental issues my entire life. I still “pulled myself up by the bootstraps”, as they say, I got and kept a job, relationships, hell even got a masters degree at 33. But one thing I never actually got was happiness. I “tricked” myself into doing things, through habits and repetition. I worked, marched my way through life, I went through the motions of relationships like an actor playing a script (and I suppose that’s why they never worked). Only recently I really started appreciating life, living, realizing that I do have positive emotions after all, they were just buried under a big pile of negative self talk and long standing blocks.
My decision to learn how to draw was a huge part of this process. When I sat down to make a portrait, I had to really look at the picture. Sure, I was drawing a pretty lady, but in order to draw, even if you’re not good at it, you have to really *see* the world like it’s the first time. If you go “ok, there’s an eye and a nose”, you make a terrible drawing. You have to focus on the single lines and how they’re shaped and where they go and why.
I still made a terrible drawing don’t get me wrong but I finally, for the first time in twenty years, I could SEE. Just SEE, without my intruding thoughts, flashbacks, without my preconceptions in the way. And for the first time in my life I was actually attracted to a woman. I finally understood what other men meant when they really liked someone.
And the best part? It carries over. Once you reach and cultivate that state, you can enter it again, time and time again, and you can see the world like a child would, give yourself a true second chance at appreciating just how much beauty there is all around.
Yeah picking up that pencil was a good idea.
This was so well put into words.
I've had ptsd and severe anxiety from kindergarten age. I learned I have to be focusing on an active task at all times or I'll slip into panic or dissociation. Sitting and focusing on tv or playing a game isn't doable, unless I exhaust myself first. But the one thing I could always sit and relax with was drawing. You have to bring your awareness to what you're seeing and the lines you're making like you said. It's Very grounding and enjoyable.
A month or so ago I got so frustrated with some of the errors I was making I decided to go all the way back to zero. At first I was very motivated. But I was spending all my drawing time on skill increase without giving myself time to do things for fun. Needless to say I burned out. This video has hit at just the right time for me as a reminder why I wanted to draw in the first place.
i feel like if you have the art urge you would be hurting yourself if you ignore it, I am also married in my mid 30's and I still draw every day and I don't care about career, age, money, it's just my call in life, I have to do it no matter what
Thanks for this. It was timely! I'm 54 and have no aspirations or real need to make money from my art, so I find myself wondering, why am I doing this? Who cares? Couldn't I be doing something more useful? I stress about finding time to improve. I stress about whether I can justify the time. I do some work I'm reasonably pleased with and a lot that I'm not. But in the end you are right. I look back over my efforts and find that, even the bad ones are a record of a moment, partly of the struggle to express, but mostly as you say; a statement - I was here. I saw this. And let's face it - better than scrolling your life away on Facebook!
Damn your last word really hits me lol. Despite myself wanted to express what i see through drawing, ultimately i would ended up back scrolling in the social media. This sick habit needs to go away
@@k4liburne283 imagine if we did a little sketch every time (or even half the times) we had the urge to open social media - how much more drawing we would get done!
Well said, Kenzo! When I'm pondering the "why", sometimes I remind myself how, not too long ago, I felt so frustrated about having images and visual stories in my head, and absolutely no idea how to get them out! And how wonderful it is to be able to do that now. Nothing looks as good as I'd like it to, but that's the journey.
it really is wonderful! And you're right, we'll always want more skill, but at some point we have to feel like we're at +100 and it would be really cool to get to +110, but +100 is awesome too
Fellow adult who began her journey later than most here! 😂 I think the avoiding hard things might be part of the learning process because there’s so much to learn. I decided to start my journey “right” by finding an online “beginner” drawing course and painstakingly completing it to learn everything. I took my time with it, but the entire course was in one ear and out the other because my pen “mileage” was so low and I was such a noob nothing stuck, lol. So then, naturally, I did the “oh I tried learning values in that class. It didn’t work, I can’t do that.” And “oh such and such just isn’t my style”. Until I reached a point where I was ready to actually start learning those things.
True! Small steps at the time, picking up new things along the way👍
You have such a great command of gesture. I'd like to be able to use calligraphic type lines as you do. I can see you changing the drawing surface of your pencil mid-stroke to get a different line quality. I'm still working toward such fluid, confident mark making (it's the work of a lifetime lol).
You’ll get there pretty fast, not a lifetime, as you build muscle memory
everything you say is so true it's amazing and comforting in time how much people have in common in art journey, the doubts, the laziness, the ego, the rabbit-turtle race...pro artists and beginners have so much in common more than they could realize.
Makes a lot of sense, I would like to add that keeping your 'why' as your fuel doesn't necessarily mean that you know exactly what your 'why' is. And still keeping that feeling of this unknown thing as your fuel is still the way to go far as i can tell.
(im still fresh on the journey , started in June of 2018; I only recently started to get an idea of what type of things I want to make, but even before I got that idea [which might change] I had the vague feeling that the creation of art is somehow inherently valuable and that I wanted to be someone who creates that type of value.)
that's a fantastic point. you don't need to have a super clear understanding exactly what you want to make or exactly why especially early in the journey. you just don't want to get pulled way off track. passion can sometimes be a bit vague and undefined!
really appreciate and enjoy the way you talk about learning art. And I especially resonate with struggling as an adult beginner seeing younger artists with more skill than I feel like I could ever dream of having.
But every one of your videos is so inspiring and helpful! I just recently finished your Fresh Eyes challenge and feel like I learned so much. Your approach to figure drawing and simplifying just clicks with me. Honestly I do still feel like I'm at -20 skill just trying to get to 0, but I can see improvement in the relatively short amount of time since I discovered your channel. And I'll work on turning that view around into a more positive mindset too :-)
Hi Kenzo, you’ve summed it up so succinctly, we are all so driven to succeed that we for get the reason for doing any form of art. I’ve decided to just enjoy the process and hope I get to where I want to go .😊
This is an excellent encouraging video, thank you Kenzo.❤
Kenzo this is probably the most important video you ever posted,i love it!
Again, a great and positive video. I feel, this what we all need, rid ourselves of the fear of comparison and mistakes
That was a brilliant presentation! I live with all of those "mistakes," especially with the "lord." My greatest stumbling-block is fear of failure, which I know is absurd since I have some skills. Yet it's been that fear that's held me back in every endeavor I've attempted, throughout my life, despite loads of evidence that I can, and sometimes do, succeed. I've recorded the video, and I plan to watch it as many times as it takes for me to memorize and internalize what you've said. Thank you.
Thank you Kenzo for this video. You reminded me of why I started to draw and paint in the first place, because I love art and I want to be able to create art. That was so refreshing and now I feel relieved from all the pressure which is overwhelming and suffocating. You're a lifesaver.
This video put a lot of feelings I have into words and cleared them up, thank you! I will almost CERTAINLY be quoting this
This message is So valuable. I think it's so great to just take a moment every once in a while to let yourself come back to your reason and remind yourself why you're doing it.
I agree - this video resonates with my own experience too. I tend to swing between extremes of focusing either completely on skills or completely on my vision for producing something. In more recent times I’ve been seeking ways to balance skill training with projects that have a goal and a finish line.
Thanks, Kenzo. Yes, this resonated! It was really inspirational - thank you.
This message is so wholesome. 🤎
What a powerful discussion. It’s good to hear the conscious voice not be so malicious and nit picky but set things straight to why we love art.
Thank you for reminding me of something very important.
So well said. I am a new sketcher & this helped me keep skills in perspective.
thank you for this. I try to remind myself of the reason why I love art. I do it for myself. Its an endless journey and a road trip to enjoy.
you always have the spookiest timing. I was just noticing a shift towards this healthier mindset in myself lately, and it's been artistically liberating!!
(still lacking some fundamentals tho 🙊)
Excellent video! Thanks!
thanks. Great to know and it definitely resonates with me. I will stop bashing myself up!!!!
Learning and making mistakes while accepting the fact that I need to work on myself, which I'll do for sure while enjoying this journey to get where I wanted to be. Thank you so much for the guidance, this was something I was looking for :)
Hey, thanks for this video, i really needed this
I wanted to say, thank you, for reminding me of how far off track my relation ship with my art has been. I have been working on improving my drawing fundamental skills so much that I have stopped making work that I truly love. I feel that I have severed my connection to why I want to learn all of these skills in the first place. I make so many gesture drawings and paintings, but I treat it as work rather than something I love. I want to get back into making work that I love while also working on my fundamentals. Maybe treating the gesture practice as a means to an end can help me get back into creating what I truly want to make.
Nonetheless, thank you so much for your help on this as it has really touched me, and ill be rewatching constantly
i can relate!
Unexpectedly touching video, thank you.
Thank you for the advices
Definitely made excuses why I didn’t have to learn a specific skill. Thanks for the tips!
I am literally struggling *not* to be terrible to myself every day in order to keep drawing. Some days it's better. ❤
Somebody once said: "The first step to being good at something is being bad at it."
I write every morning and every day I write out "Comparison is the thief of joy" by Theodore Roosevelt (not a person I admire but this is an accurate observation). I am glad you did this video. It is a video that I will probably need to go back to time and time again. I have a personal question for you, address or not: how old were you when you truly dedicated yourself to learn to draw? Curious but it has no real relevance to my life. I have learned so much from you and I thank you for making your videos and your teaching the rest of the world to draw.
hey george i was 34 when i really committed to it
Thank you Kenzo.
Certainly resonates, very poignant Kenzo. I think we begin to see more, experiment more the further into the mists of art our journey take us .
Love the vid! I do have some strong personal images in my head, that will be painted in the coming years. But right now I just do lot's of master studies, just to familiarize myself with the method and techniques one needs to have to make the personal project come out the way they are intended👍
Great video! The lines in the drawings are so elegant.
Whoa Sensei is in the comments!
my type of art, is like random fun comic art. I'm on my way, it's honestly refreshing to hear other artist talk about their struggles. It helps a ton.
Thank you.
This was so helpful for me.
Helpful video. Thanks)
Thank you
Woah, you bring up a good point. I've been sharpening my skills for the past year and yet I have got practically NOTHING done. I did it out of hate and sadness to.
A very important topic!
What I hate is that when I started my art joruney I knew from the begining what pitfalls there were and tried not to fall into them but you can guess that went wrong. I don't know why, it might be because many people told me my fundamentals were already good/solid but... see, I started learning 5 years ago and didn't make any progress during the last 1 1/2.. It was just last week when someone finally pinpointed to me how BAD my fundamentals (construction, perspective, rendering 3D forms) actually are. Great.
I feel like a failure and still don't know if I can go on. I want to become a professional but having wasted so much time on the wrong things made me give up hope almost completely. :/ Thankfully said artist is trying to help me with working on these issues and I want to believe in them that I will go over this plateau but well.. it's not easy believing in myself anymore.
So, people, don't be as stupid as me haha...
Well I was as stupid as you too hehe. I spent about 15 years or so spinning my wheels with no progress. Only in my 30s when it was “too late” I started properly doing exercises, and it turns out it wasn’t too late at all!
You're not stupid. I can relate to your experience. In the first years, you will make tremendous gain. This applies to any skill. And then you reach sort of a dip. It feels like a desert, and you won't feel you're making progress. It's going to feel like you won't improve for a long time. The way through is different for everyone... finding love on the journey, finding a reason why you're doing this, these are helpful. You mentioned hate, "Do what you hate to do like you love it," is what Mike Tyson said. Jack Faragasso had many students, and they all came to learn equipped with a variety of abilities, some learned faster than others, and some learned slower, but what he said to that, if I remember correctly, is that in ten years time, if they were still active in their art, the slow ones would be at about the same level of ability as the faster ones. It all eventually balances.
@@travisnobleart Thank you very much for this kind comment! I really hope that I can at least be one of those being so persistent that it will work out in the end. One of my main motivations is that I want to create worlds with my own characters the way I imagine them in my head and to prove to myself that I can create art for myself which I like, so a huge portion of motivation is there. :D I just can't shrug off "down phases" so easily haha
very good advice :)
Lots of love to you i am learn too much from you an i really enjoy the videos big love form heart
Great lesson as always: forgetting the main, and most likely, the most important reason is fundamental to carry on, lacking purpose is such a burden. BTW Kenzo have you ever considered doing a podcast? Could be a weekly thing adressing related topics. Keep the great work!
I did about 10 episodes of one, but there’s so much to show visually, so I realised that obviously video was the way to go!
@@lovelifedrawing I wasn't aware of it's existence. Both have their advantages for sure!
Thank you for these words. Ive been wanting to draw for a long time, I drew as a kid and I was decent, now I just always give up cause I dont feel like am good enought. This really helped me change my mind set
This is the most useful...no....this is actually the most ego shattering , self awakening video, not in the history of art schools, but in the history of self discovery teachings. Yes I am drawing for recognition, yes I am full of envy, yes I hate myself for not drawing like others. When you give all that up, it all becomes part of the joy for life. As it should be.
Thank you, Kenzo, particularly for the discussion of skill building. I think this is what I needed to hear today. I am inspired.
Sketching while this video was playing in the background, I woken something in me after being so anxious and feeling redundant in this new age of AI that can spew impressive designs in seconds rather than weeks
I have been a professional printmaker (you don't have to be able to draw to make good prints) all my adult life, and I chose this path because I could figure out how to make imagery without drawing. But I always wished I could draw. Now at the age of 70 I am going to begin.
Awesome!
I was 37 when I started painting and drawing again. I haven’t drew anything for about 10 years due to being so cruel to myself for getting a picture wrong that I had a lot of trauma that came with picking up a pencil. I finally made a promise to myself that I wouldn’t verbally flip out on myself if I made mistakes and that I would just use it’s a learning experience.
I’m kind of in the opposite problem right now, where all I have done and can do are simple forms and shapes
check out molly bangs book "picture this: how pictures work" and henry matisse cutout art. Its actually very awesome to make pictures that tell a story and communicate clearly with the simplest shapes and concepts available
I certainly relate to the 'horrible to yourself' one, doesn't help that I basically did no drawing for a very long time due to an art teacher in secondary (aka high school) literally telling me to just give up hence any skill I had vanished. Even now at nearly 29 years old I can't get myself to do full page drawings but I've been trying to get back into it by giving myself a goal, 100 drawings (I'm happy with) on pieces of card around the size of actual playing cards that I can put inside some card sleeves I bought to hopefully create a deck of sorts I can look through whenever.
Greetings from India ❤️
Ello from the Philippines!
To create something beautiful, we must become beautiful :)
Could you please tell us what sketching pencil you were using here? Loved the video and your words of pushing on mate. 👍👍
i normally use a pitt pastel 199 pencil :)
U probably hear it every day, but you sound like legit grown up.
I try to draw, i tried it. And i am still trying, sort of.
And i am successfully avoiding your videos, and that’s probably the reason, at least one of them, why i’m not getting better.
But they are really great, they are the type which seems to provide information in a way that easily convince you that you finaly get it. Until you try it yourself.
The biggest mistake is draw only when you want to, like 2 weeks every 6 mounthes. Drawing is like everything, consistency
Good teacher (avoid the pitfalls)
System of learning (Skill Assessment) cycle
Method (grouping of skills)
Life Drawing Style
"Fresh Eyes" Manikin
You can add…
Measurements (Proportions, Angles, Alignments, Lengths & Distances, Balance, Squash & Stretch)
"3D" Body
Landmarks
Forms, Foreshortening
Body Parts advanced (head, shoulders, ribcage, pelvis)
Shapes
Shape (Overall), Outlines, Negative Space, Shadow Shapes, (Forms, Foreshortening)
Gesture
CSI
Gestural curve vocabulary
With the last one, problem is... I don't know what I want in art anymore. I just sort of... Want to be able to create, be it the comic I had in mind since middle school, or a magic deck I wanted to fully proxy with my own art.
Hard to find a real goal when all I really want is to be able to create what my mind comes up with.
Well thats a great goal - get skilled enough to create what you mind comes up with
@@lovelifedrawing wish it was, though feels too unreachable. Felt too awful at art to keep trying for a long while, just recently picked it up again, though absolutely lost in what to do.
You might have been drawing like a kid in your thirties, but now you think like a hundred years old sage.
What used to discourage me was that the drawing I made didn’t look like what I imagined. In the meantime I learned to give up on complete ownership and started to look forward to what the image wants to become. It becomes a conversation. You supply a half of it, the rest comes as a pleasant surprise.
I agree Martin and thanks! That’s one reason I really like watercolour, because it pushes that idea even further with the water being a sort of collaborator that you don’t fully control
Focusing too much on the skill increase is a big problem for me. Adding to the issue is that I'm no all that into realism and often forget to create anything for fun.
I`m resisting like this to learning Python programming now))))
Not using skills, advices.
Doing art for the wrong reasons (popularity, recognition etc.).
Being horrible to yourself (comparing yourself to others etc.).
Positive advice:
Focus on creating for the sake of creating.Appreciate things around yourself and draw them, develop your skills, emerge in the art.
Sincerity in art (how artist sees the thing and portrays it)
Sideshow Scrambled Eggs is the name of the dude at the beginning 😜
Yeah, beginner at drawing since 18 years old and I still think I am beginner at drawing at 40 years old that I am today. I made mistakes, like not using reference, because drawing is not real if it copied in any form. Trying to get views in Deviant Art, trying to become like some professional artists and so forth and studying by things by my own. Basically that was just bashing your head against wall until something cracks.
Few years ago I made different choises. Instead of competing I wanted to learn how some people did they art and use referencecs. Instead of realism I wanted to go into my comic style as I found it more relaxing and fun way to draw. I also began to learn new mediums instead of pen and paper and digital, like inks, acrylic paints and water colors. Experimenting with colours and doing random photomanipulation to help out creating and visualizing ideas. These past few years have been more fun than those back 20 years back.
Do I regret it? No, not really. Many of these options were not so easily available back then and being stubborn sometimes mean you learn the hard way. I have more humble and less taxing approach to the art these days. As you said, 'I want to create beautiful things, even if nobody wants to see them'. That was a very good summary in what way I have began to see things as well.
Still making mistakes when drawing it's a bit frustrating cause I can see the mistake but can never correct it properly.
E.g head size, body proportions, angle of body it's annoying because I'm not even comparing myself to anyone I just see what I can't represent and it annoys me so much.
I've done practices on objects simple objects and can get them almost right most of the time and I'm quite happy with them but for human figures poses and all of that I just can't get it right I've been doing the same mistake day in and day out I don't even know if I'm getting close to my goal
My drawing sins:
I’ve found that I make the outline of the head then make the face too small for that outline.
Either that OR I make the distance in between the eyes and mouth too far and end up having too long a nose.
Edit: can’t spell for shut
AHHH dammit i dont wanna learn how to draw shapes n forms 😭😭cause it makes it seem like im back at level 0 im just to lazy. like do i really have to😭awww dammit ill do it. i want to get better and thank you for this video it helps alot cause i try to draw the things i want instead of what i need which i know is why im not growing as fast as i should.
Hiya, do you do any in person figure drawing classes by any chance?
i don't - maybe one day when the kids are bigger and i have more time!
05:40 It was actually a crocodile with a machine gun... wearing a fedora.
I've been seeing a lot of resistance to learning the fundamentals in the art community lately to the point where professional artists are discouraging people from learning the fundamentals because they claim it would make their art too robotic (they also discourage drawing everyday but that's another thing altogether). I have found the fundamentals to be freeing, not restricting.
And my art teacher did in fact talk to me that way and it caused me to put the pencil down for almost a decade. Harsh criticism does no one any good, especially not a beginner
Definitely freeing. The idea of skills detracting from artistic expression really took hold in a lot of art schools for a long time unfortunately. What ppl don’t realise is that when you don’t have the fundamentals, you make the same mistakes as every other human, so there is less, not more, individual expression
@@lovelifedrawing It's freeing because then you don't have to think about every line and you can focus on the piece as a whole. I've been watching a lot of art videos lately and I've noticed a difference between pro artists in the industry and entertainment artists on RUclips and Instagram. Pro artists recommend fundamentals, tons of studies from life and photos even if you don't draw realism, sketching everyday while entertainment artists recommend not sketching everyday (they call that advice toxic), avoiding studies and say that fundamentals don't make good pieces. I shouldn't have to say which person I take advice from
i hear you. But if you have a goal that your trying to achive in art like "learn to draw aswell as tite kubo or yusuke murata ((both amazing mangaka artists)) you will have your work cutout for you and then when you look at your stuff the journey will be a 1000 times more painful because you might not EVER reach that high.
Yeah, should have guessed that would be the fundamental mistake... :)
new challenge: no erase april! Go through all of april only using colored pencils without any material that helps u eliminate marks made on a paper, you can shave your penils, just not eliminate marks made on them!
where do you get such good reference images?
They are our own references, see description
That’s me in a nutshell.
more we resist better we get it)))
Tension and release. The way all things are created.
Hello, I'm curious, what is the tool you're using there to erase parts of the pencil?
it's an electric eraser my mum got me. i was very skeptical but i really like it now
@@lovelifedrawing Thanks, it does look cool, and very useful!
Im not really open about my art, its actually kinda painful for me to admit that i draw as a hobby-
The early drawings are much better I'm sorry to say.
Not every mistake, you didn't wake up naked in a snakepit after selling you left kidney to a guy named Gerry all because you lost your pencil down a drainpipe.
😂😂 I am so horrible to myself every time I draw , even if I see improvement I still am not good enough because my skills are not at an employable level so I hope once studios even start looking my way I might be kinder to myself :/
I've noticed that this mindset doesn't change regardless of how good you are until you do that work to change it!
I still can't draw very well. My drawings REALLY SUCK! HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Is there a reason why you’re not drawing ankles? I only ask because you said that the very first mistake was avoiding the skills 🤔
Ok well what if the artist wants to show a more realistic pose. I rarely see my wife sitting on her bed looking like the second pic in the thumbnail and she sits more like the first. So me as an artist, if I wanted to capture a more natural state, I would draw the first. Right?
This is abuse 😅 ❤
0:13 -Sir, _that's_ exactly what I'd truly *was* about drawing those butt-naked art image poses for a romantic animated featured sketches named:
*_The Joy Of Life_* by French artist novel *Henri Matisse.*
But Too badly, I'd truly *CANN🚫T* do that, because I'm truly autistic & I'd truly *D🚫N'T* wanna do THAT.
It's only against the law on the internet on both iPhone & computers, so I'd have to abiding the law. It has filth adultery/XXX images, cause it's embarrassing & it's against the law.
Also my mom forbids me to drawing like that (0:13).
No mistake, just happy accident
