A lot of people think that tracing is "cheating" but more artists trace than people realize. I know that a lot of manga and other comic book illustrators do it, lol.
@@adu1991 Personally I disagree.. I do think its cheating just because people trace the base of the image (the sketch), which is the most important part of the drawing. And they just color that in like it is some sort of coloring page.. If technology didn't exist, tracers actually had to practice their sketches And yes manga and cartoon artists do it aswell but that doesnt mean it isn't cheating. Especially when tracing someone elses artwork and taking all the credit
@@henlo3161 that kind of tracing to take someone's artwork is just outright stealing, no one who's sane is going to die on that hill defending the morality of that lmao Manga artists (especially on the time crunch that comes with doing _20 pages every week_ ) and their assistants who trace backgrounds do so on their own photographs to deliver a product on a deadline to get paid and eat etc., not necessarily to improve on their freehand skills as a primary goal. That's also assuming they don't just process the photo itself with minimal hand drawing lol. (Photobashing) It's about as "cheating" as some artists of the past occaisionally using camera lucida and obscura as aid for their paintings (though i should add never to the extent of overly severe dependence as Hockney otherwise believed)
In my opinion, it doesn't really help at all. Although, it can help a ton if you look for shapes constructing the photo and applying those shapes and lines in your drawing when sketching to make it look like the photo. Doing this is not considered cheating and will help you improve a lot. Soon you can see the shapes in photos without even drawing the shapes directly on it. Tracing just shows a outline and you would have to trace each time. Its kinda skipping a step and skill because it shows you can't sketch well
I know I’m a little late but “perfect practice makes perfect” seems more appropriate. And as far as the definition of insanity being doing the same thing over and over and expecting… Isn’t this the very definition of practicing? Doing the same thing over and over?
"In drawing, if you lose your motivation you'd never finish it" That's why if you try to draw anything you're not familiar it. Imagine it, and take action. Don't compare your work to other people. Just imagine you're alone and nobody is there.
How I improve my own way (This might help you too) 1:I draw everyday 2:I search for tutorials/portraits 3:I follow the tutorial they give me 4:sometimes I make techniques
i remember learning about "conscious practice" years ago, where you carefully pay attention to what you are practicing and the intent behind it, and it changed how much my art has progressed. great video
I'm a believer in practice makes perfect but... That's also includes experimenting a lot, and trying out different things, not sticking to something if it doesn't work, you need to learn to know what is wrong with a drawing, either through critique or through trial and error. Some people learn better by practicing a lot, others just go off and throw caution (paint) to the wind and eventually end up with something they like 😀
Yes! It’s so important to make sure to critique your art and examine specific areas you’d like to improve! It also keeps you motivated, like if I’m not please with how a maple tree turns out in my landscape - I’ll draw several landscapes with lots of different types of maple leaves/maple trees until I see an improvement!
I also think that drawing what you WANT to draw and what makes you happy is extremely important to seeing progress, instead of doing what other people tell you to do
I finally figured out the mistakes that I was making and my earlier techniques were better and i got the results i wanted so i kinda experimented and I came up with this conclusion,am making my own references now and am my charcoal artwork is improving
Two main factors to improve. 1. Interest 2. Practice If you are interested in any skills then all you need is practice. For example, you won't get six pack abs just by training 1 day. Same is for art, you won't be able to draw good enough if you practice only 1 times. Practicing daily will surely help you improve your Drawing drastically in just one month. And the beauty is that you can see the improvement daily through out your art journey.
@@xenoncs2141 Agreed I feel like the videos really help show you new techniques instead of trying the same thing over and over.. I started an art RUclips channel too and would love if you checked it out and gave me feedback :)
I never realized this until watching this video of yours, but whenever I critiqued my art, it automatically improved. Thank you for pointing this out for me, I myself, would've never noticed this. BTW You are an amazing inspiration, and I always find your videos to be helpful!
I have definitely improved in the last year. Ive found my style and what i love. Ive found new methods of doing things, and over time i have improved so much.
HI KIRSTY IM A HUGW FAN ILYSSMMMMM!!! This was so SOOO helpful for me, I love art so much but I’m absolutely terrible at it, so thank you for the tips!!

The real reason my art wasn't improving is cz i didn't know basics Drawing have basics Mastering shapes helped me Approach every drawing My advice to you is before U start doing something Make sure u master the basics first
same! what i did before deciding I would love to take my art skill further was to study all the basics first and made sure i understand them. really helped a ton!

OMG I'm early!! Just wanted to tell you I love your art and you are such an inspiration to me! Without your videos I don't think I would be able to draw like I do. Thankyou so much!!
one thing that has helped me a lot in breaking bad habits in my are is to record my painting process with a screen recording program(OBS), and use a editing video software(Shotcut, really easy to use). there was the added pressure to paint a quickly as possible and as much as possible in one sitting without interruption, not because I had an audience or that I had particular desire to draw faster at the time, but the longer, and more video segments I had to add the more it was a hassle to work in the video editing process. the was the fact that as I edited my videos I notices that I wasted a lot of time with bad and forced me to think up of better ways to save time, and to have an easier time fit one video within the length of a music or song, so there was also time restraint to consider. I worked hard to get rid of those bad habits, and having done a new years resolution to do one speedpainting everyday, it only lasted about 120 days, I managed to cut down on over 2/3 of my usual work time, maintaining my usual quality, even improving on them and have managed to streamline my video editing process so that it only takes me about 15 minutes to edit the video before exporting. Sense then, my art work has improve by leaps and bounds, and art piece out put has more then tripled, sense last December and I am very grateful for it.
Hi, Kirsty! Thank you for this video! Your message is simple, very obvious after we listen to it but necessary! It seems to me that this idea of blindly practicing everyday comes a lot from the exposure we have to other people's art on social media. And I say this because it is really hard to imagine that a super awesome artist was once really bad at drawing or painting when you only see amazing results. Also, several times I've seen the public asking to the artists questions such as "how did you get so good?" and the answer is usually "I practice everyday" or "I've doing this ever since I can remember". Which, don't get me wrong, it is true, you need to practice, but I really like that you talked about how to practice cause that is where the "magic" improvement comes from. Great content, thank you so much!
I think it's all in the right approach and in a lot of work. practice make it perfect. never give up on your goal. i think my first 10 paintings were pretty bad. when I painted the first 100 the progress was obvious. today after painting over 1000 pictures i think i can be satisfied but the ultimate goal is still far away. it can always get better. stay inspired and don’t give up
Thank you, I finally found someone who explains what I’m doing wrong. Most influencers may say “practice makes perfect” and I get really annoyed of that.
So you are actually my superhero. Without your FREE youtube videos I probably wouldn't have achieve my dreams as an artist. Kirsty you have probably made such a huge impact in the lives of so many just as mine
I recently found your RUclips channel. And I have binge watched all your videos. Thank you! You have a big heart for sharing your knowledge with the world!
such an inspiration! your tutorial helped me alot especially the do's and dont after every video I see anew mistake and try to avoid doing it and people start getting confused saying that my art is developing so fast!thx Kristy ❤
The problem for me is looking for the correct technique to help me. Using references doesn't seem to be enough when I lack a lot of fundamentals still.
I realy love your voice it's sooo soothing and I learnt lot of thing from you ...and it's really help me to boost my art channel I hope you guide me as an artist 😊
Hi Kirsty!! I’m a new fan,and this video really opened my eyes and helped me realize what I’ve been doing wrong all this time!Thank u so so so much and I really appreciate it!subscribed!love from Dubai!!!❤️❤️
Thank you Kirsty. This was indeed a every helpful and eye opening video. I downloaded your free guide as well. I'm sure it will help me in my art journey. Thanks for giving such great advice.
This really helped me. I was not àble to draw realistic drawings. After watching this video and practising. I am now much more better in realistic drawings.
I'm really a big fan ever since. I'm just a self taught artist but watching your vids gives me hope and I always play your vids while drawing cuz it really helped me.
Wow, thank you Kirsty! Your videos are so detailed and inspiring. As soon as I finish watching your videos I feel like picking up a paintbrush and making some art!
This goes for everything! Not just drawing/painting. But writing, photography, storytelling. So many people see critics as being inherently negative, but you have to flip that and turn it to *progress*.
i have noticed that i have improved quite a lot over the past few months when it comes to the male anatomy body, and i can even "build" the body by looking at a pic of a guy, could be anime, cartoon, whatever, and i just do it. however, i still feel that i haven't improved to my liking. i.e. it doesn't look good, even if i use ink to make the artwork pop and such. i honestly feel like giving up at this point, because i feel that it's taking way too long, and due to a problem that i can't help, or even get rid of, it's so painful to me to see how slow i'm improving that it's agonizing for me.
In my work in sculpting I tend to experiment alot and develop numerous new techniques I have invented by using materials that I make from natural elements. As I work I rarely ever produce the same exact result and develop various textures that simulate natural surfaces and colors from the sculpting clay I prefer. I have reached the point where none of my works are ever the same and each is unique. It's been an on going development for several decades and I find great pleasure in each project.
I am gonna keep practicing until i reach my goal ❤️ i wanna learn realism and I’ve lost motivation so many times. but i will keep going and practicing. thank you ❤️❤️❤️
Exactly what I used to tell myself. There's no point in repeating the same mistakes. That's the main reason why going from one drawing to the next there was huge improvement in my work as I applied either applied a new technique or I worked on an existing flaw. Once I identified my mistakes, I'd work on improving that aspect. Great video Kirsty!
My art is improving it's just that no one ever appreciates it. I've tried Instagram, Deviant Art, Twitter, FB Art groups but my works get ignored all the time..it's like they're so ugly and I feel so hopeless
If your artbis on social media, then I can guarantee that at least one person likes it. Maybe it's not the person you intended for it to reach, but content that's posted on Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook...even people who you haven't met in real life are able to see that(unless your profile is set to "private"). Keep putting your art out there for the public to see, and honestly express yourself while doing it.
U need to understand that u have to clap hands for your damn self u can't be posting and expect everyone to like your work as long as you love it then continue and do your art. Social media will drain you if u go there wanting people to check out your stuffs. U need to focus on building up your skills and do art for fun eventually people will see your work and trust me people can smell it if u need soo much attention from them. I've been running my art acc for 3/4 years now I've just been posting and enjoying my stuffs eventually people started noticing my work only now. So be patient it takes years to be recognized sometimes
You are simply awesome....love your videos.....It helps me a lot to do my work....Hope so you and your family are safe... Stay safe..stay sanitized... Love love

In my work in sculpting I tend to experiment alot and develop numerous new techniques I have invented by using materials that I make from natural elements. As I work I rarely ever produce the same exact result and develop various textures that simulate natural surfaces and colors from the sculpting clay I prefer. I have reached the point where none of my works are ever the same and each is unique. It's been an on going development for several decades and I find great pleasure in each project.
This was really helpful, btw... am I the only one mesmerising by the lights reflections in Kirsty's eyes ? 🤩

This was so helpful for thank you so much❤️
Exactly what I used to tell myself. There's no point in repeating the same mistakes. That's the main reason why going from one drawing to the next there was huge improvement in my work as I applied either applied a new technique or I worked on an existing flaw. Once I identified my mistakes, I'd work on improving that aspect. Great video Kirsty!
My art is improving it's just that no one ever appreciates it. I've tried Instagram, Deviant Art, Twitter, FB Art groups but my works get ignored all the time..it's like they're so ugly and I feel so hopeless
What's your insta?
If your artbis on social media, then I can guarantee that at least one person likes it. Maybe it's not the person you intended for it to reach, but content that's posted on Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook...even people who you haven't met in real life are able to see that(unless your profile is set to "private").
Keep putting your art out there for the public to see, and honestly express yourself while doing it.
U need to understand that u have to clap hands for your damn self u can't be posting and expect everyone to like your work as long as you love it then continue and do your art. Social media will drain you if u go there wanting people to check out your stuffs. U need to focus on building up your skills and do art for fun eventually people will see your work and trust me people can smell it if u need soo much attention from them. I've been running my art acc for 3/4 years now
I've just been posting and enjoying my stuffs eventually people started noticing my work only now. So be patient it takes years to be recognized sometimes
Do art for yourself, if someone else likes it consider it a bonus.
Does deviant art shows a tutorial to draw?
You are simply awesome....love your videos.....It helps me a lot to do my work....Hope so you and your family are safe...
Stay safe..stay sanitized...
Love love
