This video is a little bit different for me (and sort of personal), so I sincerely hope you all like it and helps you see things from my perspective on how I got into this art journey.
Hallo, ever time I try do draw every day I fail possibly because could not mange to do every day for longer as two weeks than happen some thing that can not do it one a day. Also what I hear from you that you do, I can´t draw more 1-2 hours per day what is 30-45 minutes per day.
Brushes and Bunnies I was confident about my art until u trashed yours. If this is "bad" mine is "trash". Meh whatever. I know no one cares but I just wanted to say "please don't trash your work, it makes it hard to feel good and subscribe. Meh"
I hate it when i try to point out my mistakes and people just over compliment me. I want growth. I want to notice where I can improve and see my mistakes. It gives me greater motivation to push forward
just go on google and google something like 'faces dutch, or faces aboriginal' then click images and there is your source the easiest way to spot a mistake is to stand back turn your back and hold up a mirror adjusting so you can see your work behind you - if you have made a mistake, it will stand out. and most times you haven't gone too far to fix it. don't try to 'rescue' your sketch or paint - if it is bad, put it in the round file (garbage can) or save it and use it for origami
A girl from my art class kept complimenting me on my sketches, drawings and art skills. I didn't really like the way I drew, so I told her I don't like the way I draw and that it wasn't that good. Her friend then told me to stop "fishing for compliments" sooo... yeah😂😂
I think it's important to remember that beauty really is in the eye of the beholder. As an artist (of any variety really) we tend to see only the flaws, what we should've done, where we went wrong - all that self-criticism jazz. BUT others simply see the end result and when they compliment us (especially when they have nothing to gain by it) it comes from a sincere place. Take the compliment!! Focusing on the could've and should've is self defeating. It's enough to know that with each drawing, sketch etc. progress is being made. Improvement comes in increments not overnight. ;-)
Yeah that's why I don't show my art to others coz they will compair there selves to you like your better blah blah blah I know it's very polite but I want to improve and all they say is I cant even draw a circle like hahahaha p
Feeling a bit defeated today, after doing three drawings and not being entirely happy with any of them. Everyone keeps saying I'm improving, and I'm sure I am, but UGH, we want to be good NOW, don't we? lol
@@TheGeekMonster I 100% guarentee if you keep drawing you will get better. It's really just not possible to not get better if your putting in the effort
I like it when artist are real and not being overly cocky. Drawing every day is a great way to practice! Also make sure you are practicing the right things. “Look at life and it will give your art life!! “~ me ( wow I’m going to make that mine)
Been drawing since middle school stopped after highschool always felt like I wasn't good enough but videos like yours inspired me to get back into it draw new things and improve on what I already know so thank you.
This was such an inspiration. A couple of years ago, I had a friend that would critique every drawing I would do and lowered my confidence in my art. You’ve inspired me to take on this challenge for myself.
i've had a friend similar, she would say everything negative about everything, and always say 'i am terrible at drawing' just to gain sympathy. i guess she was kinda a bad example for me because i started doing that! Now i do not, fortunately :) happy drawing!
Maybe your friend was/is jealous. It's one thing to point out honestly to a friend where you think they could improve but it's equally important to point out the areas they shine.
Me too, my one of my friends keeps saying bad stuff about my drawings when I think it's good she says meant things about it like what is that and stuff like that and then I think my drawings just because of her .My friend her drawings are really good but I mean I wouldn't ever tell someone that their drawings suck but maybe tell them what I would do .So yeah if you are someone that insults other peoples drawings don't I can really make them sad and think that they suck and that they can't get better...etc If u think the drawings not good just explain that person what you would've done. This was just a message for everyone insulting other's drawings, people have feelings for their drawings because they spend time on it so if you just say (if it took u an hour to draw)it sucks it'll can really hurt their feelings so don't do it:)
You're the reason I've felt confident enough to try and take on more realistic features in my art. Your art is absolutely amazing, but watching the way you have progressed has made it seem absolutely achievable. Please don't ever stop being an amazing inspiration, with or without your art. ♡
you probably are the first art channel that showed me the era when they weren't that good which makes me feel better and that i might be able to improve like you did, thank you.
Ur skills have grown and it's great that u took urself seriously and did the work that u have been doin, we as artists are always growing I believe that is
Learning to draw takes time, I draw every day for hours a day. I have heard even artists who are professional and work in the art community say they are still learning. All you can do is draw learn and approve. Great motivational video!
Don't want to be a downer, but when you boil it down to talent it can kind of dismiss the hard work that it took to get there. It is something you work at and refine through years and years of hard work and repetition. Not having a go at you, it's just something to think on when you compliment an artist.
I used to love drawing but my passion for it turned into aggravation cause they all turned out ugly and having a cousin who is a talented artist it's a bit frustrating when it feels like you can't draw to save my life now whenever I try to draw I get angry and give up but I'm going to attempt this xoxo
I want to say thank you for posting this video. Because it helped me to get back on track and start putting in the work. You have beautiful penmanship and your work is amazing. Giving me the motivation to try and try again. Wish you the best. And again thank you for this video.
When I was young, I had always wanted to draw manga and such stuff. I really loved it and wanted to do it. However, I always wanted everything to be perfect so I gave up very quickly because I hated all my drawings. My bf told me at that time, I need to practice so I will definitely improve, but I didn't do it. I just gave up. Then I focused on other things and was disappointed again and again. I couldn't find the same excitement that I had for mangas. Now, about closely 10 years later, I regret my childish behavior in the past. If I have finished my Bachelor Thesis in the next months, I want to learn drawing and painting again. I hope I won't give up this time. This video was very helpful and I hope I will stay motivated. Thank you ♥️
Wow! Drawing every day for a year is so so difficult, especially if you work full time. Fantastic work in doing this challenge to improve your talent and what a great talent you have. I am definitely going to try this. Thanks for a wonderful video.
none of ur drawings from the beggining arent bad.When i heard u can't draw a face etc... i thought something 10000 worse then you showed lol.It's these kind of videos that discourage me from drawing.Everbody is good expect me lmao
I bet if you see her pictures from years ago they wouldn't look the same. It took time for her to get where she is today. Don't expect to get better, by an enormous degree, in one day alone. I remember when I always drew girls with one eye, large bangs, a rounded rectangular body and spaghetti limbs 😂. Now, although I'm still far from where I'd like to be in my art, spaghetti limbs are no more. Body parts actually look like body parts 😊. But, all with time.
Nobody starts off good at it. Innate talent isn't really a thing. What really differentiates a good artist from a bad one is how much work you've put in. I'd recommend looking up the drawabox tutorials. Do those and practice each and every day, even if it's only for 15 minutes. Every time you notice an improvement it will motivate you to keep going. Don't spend the next 10 years of your life putting it off because others are better, then look back and realise you'd be there too if only you put in the work.
This is very inspiring ! You are literally giving me the motivation to fill that blank new sketch book. Everyday , I'm afraid to just begin drawing especially that i have ideas but I never took time to ACTUALLY make them happen. So thanks !
This video is something i really needed. I think i'm at the state you've been those few years ago. And this is letting me know that it's not the end of the world and if i put in work it will pay off.
You're so inspirational. You inspires me to keep going even there's any negative thinking or what other people says. You also inspires me to challenge myself in doing or improving art. I'm totally happy that I got to watch this video of yours.
hi brushes and bunnies i just wanted to thank you for always being positive and that you have pushed me to draw even more often and try to draw portraits in my own way. i am a 12 yr old who is currently going to become 13 but at that young age im trying to improve my art so when im older i have a big experience already in drawing :D basically how it all started is when i was 5 years old and i started liking drawing so yeah ive been drawing for a long time :D
You are so young and in such a perfect position to start drawing :) If you practice a little each day or week, by the time you are my age, you will be a pro! If drawing is a passion, don't ever give it up for nothing. Good luck
I admire your persistence. Photographers often do a 365 project as well. After years of being away from my art I'm mid 365 project now and this struck a chord with me. You explain the emotions and progress well. Thank you for sharing.
I love what you had to say at the end. I feel like people are constantly pushing this sense of rabid positivity, and while it's great to be positive or optimistic, I prefer to be realistic. I prefer to see and acknowledge where I can do better, and work at making that a reality. Telling myself I'm great at something when I'm fledgling at best isn't a good thing to me. It allows me to be complacent and halt my own progress. I won't tear myself down, but I definitely won't give myself cookies I have yet to deserve. I enjoyed watching your video and hearing about your journey, so thank you for sharing!
I have discover your channel now and I love it. I’m taking a year to improve my drawing skills, and I’m drawing every day. I notice the change little by little. I can’t wait to see more of your videos and learn! 💕
I randomly came across this- this is exactly what I’ve been doing and the EXACT predicament I’m in. I’ve been drawing and painting between an hour and 5 hours a day for two weeks and even in that small amount of time, I’ve already seen an improvement. Sure I can draw a decent portrait with bad proportions but I now have improved on A LOT of my mistakes. It’s been the motivation I need to keep going and this was an extra push.
Thank you for this video. Currently I trying to get back into drawing and struggle hard at drawing humans. And hearing that you did a challenge to draw everyday and improving makes me want to continue drawing as well. I’m also taking classes so I hope I can get better and draw as cool as you.
Dear Bunny, I find your sketching videos so relaxing and I love your advice. It's definitely important to keep a loose wrist, an open mind and keep pushing forward. The one thing I always take away from your videos is that determination is key. I went to art school and I can say that there are times when it seems that art will try to beat you down, but you can achieve your goals if you keep working and practicing!
Thank you, i am drawing everyday too, i have decided this few months before, but i still not able to get to the level i desire, i wasn't going to give up, but motivation was sometimes off, i think that i will find it back thank to you. Thankyou very ＭＵＣＨ
Everyone learns at a different pace, so don't worry too much. As long as you make the effort each day, this is all that matters :) Good luck with your art journey!
Honestly right now I'm in the stage where you were before and this video is so motivational for me! I felt like a terrible drawer and sorta starting to push myself to succeed right now! It wouldn't of happened if I didn't use your tips and tricks and most importantly your advice! So Thank you iso much Brushes and Bunnies!
When people say "Stop uploading your art in social media and fishing for likes, it doesn't define you, yada yada," I get really annoyed because I improved so much and got tons of motivation to actually draw every day.
I’m happy that you got over the “beating yourself up” phase. I like your work. 👍🏻. I’m a new subscriber to your channel, young lady. Keep up the good work.
I started drawing after nine years . The last time i drew was in my school days . This quarantine made me wanna start everything again. Because i always wanted to draw but was afraid that i won't be able to because it's too late. But then i decided to just start . I started following couple of courses and iam shocked myself that I can draw better than what i was expecting . It is really important to have the interest amd being consistent with the right guidance.
Just discovered your channel today, and subscribed :) Your humility is part of your appeal. You aren't bragging about your artistic credentials like so many other artists do. You're saying "I was awful, I worked hard, and I got better, and so can you!" And that will inspire people! People want to be inspired, not made to feel like they'll never be as good or as talented. I'm learning to draw female faces and bodies for RPG characters that I do, and your style is exactly what I hope to achieve! Not too cartoonish, not too realistic, just a lovely happy medium. Can't wait to learn more from you!
It’s good to know that ‘good’ artists like yourself have doubts about how good their art is.......it makes you real👍 AND it give ME hope that I will improve! Don’t know if I will manage a whole year of drawing every day, but after watching this, you have inspired me to give it a go! Hope I improve as much as you x
THANK YOU FOR THIS!!! I just started my own art journey, and you confirmed all my idea of how to challenge myself and improve. I’m so proud for all your artistic accomplishments. You are an inspiration!
im 10 months late but I’m glad i stumbled upon this. i was so close to giving up. when you don’t see improvement in your work it can get discouraging and i honestly am not at all pleased with my art but im going to keep at it. thank you so much for this!
okay this was really inspiring. for the past three years or so i've been so busy with school that i've barely had any time for art. last year in march, i tried to do a sketch a day - i got 19 days in, and then failed as soon as spring break ended. now, i'm trying to get back into art and am attempting to upload an art video every two weeks. i know it's not a lot, but i hope i can take you as inspiration and keep going, even if for me it's just every two weeks. thank you
I’m making this comment purely because I notice you making this one mistake a lot, and its not to put you down, you’re art is lovely and I look up to you so so much, I absolutely adore you and your art, but, the rule for ears is that they go from the eye to the corner of the mouth, thats the general length rule I was taught at least. I just wanted to let you know. But your art is amazing and I love you sooo much💕😂
hahhaha thank you! These mistakes I don't see right away and I have to be honest and say that I haven't really practiced ears as much as the other facial features. I will learn it however! Thanks again
Ears go from the eyebrow or corner of the eye, to the bottom of the nose, NOT to the mouth, those would be some humongous ears! I have really small ears, so mine are even smaller than that.
You have inspired me. I am big fan of yours. I completely agree with you. Self criticism is always important for acknowledging that one always need to expand his/her realm of creativity and to avoid saturation.
Loving this video and YES, you should be proud of yourself! I myself, decided to learn how to draw 6 months ago, and I’m nearing the 200th day of drawing every day mark. Learning how to draw fast (more or less) is hard work, and I’m reminded of this every day. Good work!
You are absolutely right. Criticism, even yourself on a art youtubechannel is not bad or "fishing for compliments". And pointing out the good things you can do are neither bad or wrong. That's how humans improve. And I really like to see your accomplishments. Your art is stunning!
I’m proud of you for doing this. I’ve been drawing for a long time but just decided to draw everyday in my sketch book using ink only and not sketching with pencil first to get over the fear of sketching fast and erasing. It has improved me greatly confidence and speed! So I’m so proud of you for being consistent. I draw comics but we all can always improve
I loved this video so much that I subbed after watching. What made me sub was the "speech" (lol) you gave about how some are commenting that you are purposely putting yourself down so you can get compliments. That is a very absurd assumption. It is not at all easy to show your sketchbook to 1000's and it's even more difficult to talk about your insecurities when it comes to your skills as an artist. The instant growth of your channel was no doubt overwhelming. So I can totally get how you felt you didn't deserve such attention when you were still at a novice level. But you took that as a motivation to improve your art and for me, that is hella inspiring! I too struggle with drawing and if I'm being honest no I do not practice enough because it always looks like shit lol. I think I'll follow your example and just stop dissing my own art and get better despite how my biggest critic feels, which is myself. Great job and keep it up!
Awesome and very inspirational to folks like me who want to pick their drawing back up as a hobby, yet feel discouraged at their beginner attempts to get started again. I tend to be very hard on myself and I love the fact that you have overcome that voice in your head telling you "it's not good enough" and have shared your journey with us. I think your drawings are terrific and your commitment to daily drawing and fearlessness in sharing really helps people like me to keep going, despite our disappointment in our own skills. Thank you for your videos!
So by now I already drew or sketched every literal day for almost 3 years. No joke. It really "loosens" your artprogress. I got much more comfortable with nearly drawing anything.
THIS FREAKING CHANGED ME THANK YOU SO MUCH. I'm a self taught artist as of the last six months XD I have noticed personally how crazy it is that I can actually sort of draw stuff now even though I haven't been doing it that long...practicing helps so much more than I thought it would. But it's hard when everyone's been doing this stuff since they were a kid and took all the art classes in high school...I wanted to be that art kid SO BAD but I never thought that having drive and passion was enough without technical skills. Now, I am realizing that you can achieve anything you want to, ESPECIALLY if passion is already under your belt, but I still get stage fright even when I'm alone and tell myself I'm not good enough. So thank you for this. You are showing people that change is possible, and it's possible NOW. Yeah it's not an instant fix but with hard work look how far you came in a year!! You are a beautiful soul, thank you a billion. You've touched someone else through your video, so I would say that means you're successful. (:
bin so happy feinen channel gefunden zu haben...du gibst mir so viel Energie und positive vibes 😊❤ich lerne zurzeit 2d conception und fühle mich so schlecht in all dem was ich tue
You spoke my own private thoughts & have Inspired & excited me to practice ! Like a piano player. You are helping people . Thank you for the education & feeling of excitement that you have given me within myself 💕
You're SUCH an inspiration. :) I love your honesty and transparency. I too struggle with being "good enough." I'm going to put into practice sketching each day. Thanks for your encouragement.
Even tho I had to go a very bad depression I watched ur video and and it made me feeel in depressed while watching your video. Listen up ignore the haters who kept on saying bad stuff, just ignore them because you know that you have us who support you
I'm currently one month in and what you're saying felt so true to me. It becomes second nature to draw every day. I love this video. It's so honest and inspiring.
Thank-you for this video, I started doing Digital art, And it was a terrible mistake... I realised that I needed to learn how to physically draw first- And I’m a person that gives up easily but when I watch your videos they make me feel so motivated and they make me realise that I Need to carry on trying, So Thank-you again! 😊
I've not been subscribed to your channel for very long, however when I first came across your videos I was amazed! I've always loved art and sketched a lot when I was younger.. I've actually decided recently to dive full on into it, and turn my passion hopefully into a job, which is where I find your videos extremely helpful. I'm learning all sorts of helpful tips and I can completely agree with the not feeling good enough side! Watching your videos and feeling just how passionate you are about it all really kicks that passionate fire in me too and I just wanted to thank you :)
It's channels like these that I love! They're actually so helpful because I can also relate. I feel that although I've been drawing for years, my skill is still at a beginners level. After watching your videos, I've been more motivated to actively try to improve my art. Seeing you doing the same and actually improving is giving me all the motivation I need! Thank you :)
Now you´re giving me some hopes! Thank you~ Right now Ißm also doing this 365 draw daily challenge. Till now I succeeded doing it for two whole months. Started right away on the first day of the year :D SO I hope at the end of the year if I did it till then I can look back proud of myself and with much better skills too
Congratz on your journey. You put lots of effort on it and ye it's a really big deal. You should be proud of yourself. Keep up with the improvement, we all wanna see it :) I love humble artists who share what they learn, so I'm subscribing
I used to draw so much in middle school, and it was less and less throughout high school, and then after graduation it was barely existent. I just got back into drawing when I realized I wanted to be a Graphic Designer. It's almost like starting over from the beginning, remembering all the tips and tricks I used to know. This video really inspired me to keep on trying!
Thank you so much! You motivated me so much to just keep trying and never give up. As you can see with my videos im not as good of an artist as you but im aiming to be better. I draw every day and hope i get on your level some day
I drew almost everyday my freshman year and I am so thankful that I did for my sophomore year class. I have more experience now. I have been having trouble fitting in art because I decided to be taking care of myself this year and indulging myself in literature. Although I have art class every week day it feels as if I am not doing art lol
I don't care about the stuff people have been criticizing you for, I think you just pushed me a bit to do what I love to do every day without having to overthink about negative stuff. Thank you!
you're amazing ! you push yourself even when you're not feeling like drawing , i need to learn that so bad and i really love your art , always inspired me ❤️
Wow 150.000 subs! Deserved I say! About to tackle a year long drawing a day task,, even got a 600 page sketchbook in it's way to record my adventure! I was relieved when you said after a month it's just second nature and something you just do! And I figured with a massive book on my table, I will be sweet, anyways I'm an older viewer of your channel 47 ,and you give me inspiration, I love your art, thank you
Hi brushes, I just discovered your channel & boy am I ever glad I did !! I felt like you were describing ME. I am in the exact same place you were in a few yrs ago, both mentally & artistically. I fully understand the common negative self talk. Plz don't listen to the haters !! Your work is Amazing & you have truly Inspired this 54 yr old late bloomer to Begin & giving me a starting point & some direction. So thank you so much & God bless you bunnies 😍❤😍
For me, you were always good and all you've done is become better! Even things such as the battle scars and birthmarks just helped you build your skill. I've stayed here on your channel not only because of your art but because of your personality, you don't typically see art youtube channels like This, which is good!
Ppl like you (and some other youtube artists) have gotten me out of artblock. Ty for not giving up because of some comments. It makes me not want to give up either. ❤ By watching you i learned myself watercolour. Which i really coulnt do at all.
I want to thank you for all your vids. You are so sweet and honest it’s a joy watching you 😊 you words are so true to hear to the hobby artist in me I learn so much. Thank you❤️
This is a wonderfully honest and motivational video. I feel exactly as you described having felt at the beginning of your journey. Ive been struggling to stick with my daily drawing commitment, but this video helped encourage me to stick with it.
I feel very similar to you, I’ve been “drawing” for years but it’s never felt like I actually have any skill at all, even though others compliment me on my work. I’m going to try to push myself to work more and to work better starting today. Thank you for this video and for inspiring me!
Your work is awesome and i really needed to hear those words because i'm just getting back in track to learn drawing properly but i keep falling into a slump; But now i'm really want to get better and i'm looking all around for people or things to inspire me and your video just popped up at my home screen and i'm really thankful :3 keep it up
I love this video! it gave me motivation to just push forward on getting better. I am just starting out and your videos on the face are really helpful and your art style is really great! keep up the work!
Hey BB, new subscriber here. Thank you so much for this video, the first one I watched was your sketchbook tour that you referenced in the video and I noticed those types of comments for sure but this video hits the nail on the head. You have inspired me to do at least one drawing a day for the entire year! Though I am not starting at the same skill level as you I am sure that this style of practice will result in some fantastic results. Thank you so much for your content and I look forward to sharing my art with you!
I draw too and also think that I am not that good although people always tell me that I'm good at art. but your video has really inspired me to keep a positive mind set and to try my best !! KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK
What a lovely inspiring video. Thank you for sharing your journey. I think a lot of us are our own toughest critics. We judge our work harshly and see the faults before the successes. It is comforting to know that we are not alone and the message about not giving up is one most of us can't hear often enough. You should be very proud of yourself - arting everyday and pushing through doubts is tough and you did it and you also make me feel like I can do it too. Thank you again.
Aww thank you :) I've said it in a couple other comments already, but honestly, it's comments like yours that inspire me to continue and push myself. Not only are we as artists our toughest critics but we also get told by many others that art is a waste of time. And this is totally wrong! I hope to teach this to a younger generation that art is a beautiful thing even with all of its challenges. If I can do it, you can also :)
This video is a little bit different for me (and sort of personal), so I sincerely hope you all like it and helps you see things from my perspective on how I got into this art journey.
I love your art....you are so inspiring
Brushes and Bunnies I've also started back drawing a year ago. And I see lil improvements, and some speed improvements as well.
Hallo, ever time I try do draw every day I fail possibly because could not mange to do every day for longer as two weeks than happen some thing that can not do it one a day. Also what I hear from you that you do, I can´t draw more 1-2 hours per day what is 30-45 minutes per day.
Andreas Braess
You can draw whenever you can, not just on a schedule :)
Brushes and Bunnies I was confident about my art until u trashed yours. If this is "bad" mine is "trash". Meh whatever. I know no one cares but I just wanted to say "please don't trash your work, it makes it hard to feel good and subscribe. Meh"
I hate it when i try to point out my mistakes and people just over compliment me. I want growth. I want to notice where I can improve and see my mistakes. It gives me greater motivation to push forward
just go on google and google something like 'faces dutch, or faces aboriginal' then click images and there is your source
the easiest way to spot a mistake is to stand back turn your back and hold up a mirror adjusting so you can see your work behind you - if you have made a mistake, it will stand out. and most times you haven't gone too far to fix it.
don't try to 'rescue' your sketch or paint - if it is bad, put it in the round file (garbage can) or save it and use it for origami
A girl from my art class kept complimenting me on my sketches, drawings and art skills. I didn't really like the way I drew, so I told her I don't like the way I draw and that it wasn't that good. Her friend then told me to stop "fishing for compliments" sooo... yeah😂😂
I think it's important to remember that beauty really is in the eye of the beholder. As an artist (of any variety really) we tend to see only the flaws, what we should've done, where we went wrong - all that self-criticism jazz. BUT others simply see the end result and when they compliment us (especially when they have nothing to gain by it) it comes from a sincere place. Take the compliment!! Focusing on the could've and should've is self defeating. It's enough to know that with each drawing, sketch etc. progress is being made. Improvement comes in increments not overnight. ;-)
Yeah that's why I don't show my art to others coz they will compair there selves to you like your better blah blah blah I know it's very polite but I want to improve and all they say is I cant even draw a circle like hahahaha p
I wish my freinds were like you. They ask me how their art look, i point out the mistakes, they get angry with me. Period.
1% improvement per day = 365% improvement at the end of the year.
thats a really nice way to think of it
@@queenoftheslums3714 Yes, that's true
Feeling a bit defeated today, after doing three drawings and not being entirely happy with any of them. Everyone keeps saying I'm improving, and I'm sure I am, but UGH, we want to be good NOW, don't we? lol
@@TheGeekMonster I 100% guarentee if you keep drawing you will get better. It's really just not possible to not get better if your putting in the effort
@@TheGeekMonster That's true, but never give up.
I like it when artist are real and not being overly cocky. Drawing every day is a great way to practice! Also make sure you are practicing the right things. “Look at life and it will give your art life!! “~ me ( wow I’m going to make that mine)
Haha great quote :)
i love the quote!
when on his deathbed michelangelo was asked, what did you like best, painting, or sculpture - he said 'drawing'
Been drawing since middle school stopped after highschool always felt like I wasn't good enough but videos like yours inspired me to get back into it draw new things and improve on what I already know so thank you.
I know this is a year later but how has it been ?
Same2 but u can do it
I’m doing a 365 day drawing challenge this year. It’s been interesting thus far. Loved this video. Thank you!
J New how is it so far?
J New you still doing it?
How has it gone
any luck?
If you don’t already intend to you should definitely make a video of your journey/progression. People (myself included) love to see such things.
This was such an inspiration. A couple of years ago, I had a friend that would critique every drawing I would do and lowered my confidence in my art. You’ve inspired me to take on this challenge for myself.
i've had a friend similar, she would say everything negative about everything, and always say 'i am terrible at drawing' just to gain sympathy. i guess she was kinda a bad example for me because i started doing that! Now i do not, fortunately :) happy drawing!
Maybe your friend was/is jealous. It's one thing to point out honestly to a friend where you think they could improve but it's equally important to point out the areas they shine.
Me too, my one of my friends keeps saying bad stuff about my drawings when I think it's good she says meant things about it like what is that and stuff like that and then I think my drawings just because of her .My friend her drawings are really good but I mean I wouldn't ever tell someone that their drawings suck but maybe tell them what I would do .So yeah if you are someone that insults other peoples drawings don't I can really make them sad and think that they suck and that they can't get better...etc
If u think the drawings not good just explain that person what you would've done. This was just a message for everyone insulting other's drawings, people have feelings for their drawings because they spend time on it so if you just say (if it took u an hour to draw)it sucks it'll can really hurt their feelings so don't do it:)
My friend those this ALL the time😔
Critique isn't bad. Negativity is. Critique is meant to help you improve
Yep, drawing daily is key.
You're the reason I've felt confident enough to try and take on more realistic features in my art. Your art is absolutely amazing, but watching the way you have progressed has made it seem absolutely achievable. Please don't ever stop being an amazing inspiration, with or without your art. ♡
Thank you for this comment Katherine! It really means a lot and I hope you can continue to challenge yourself with your own art (and not give up) :)
you probably are the first art channel that showed me the era when they weren't that good which makes me feel better and that i might be able to improve like you did, thank you.
Ur skills have grown and it's great that u took urself seriously and did the work that u have been doin, we as artists are always growing I believe that is
Thank you! :) Yes, we as artists should always be growing no matter what.
Learning to draw takes time, I draw every day for hours a day. I have heard even artists who are professional and work in the art community say they are still learning. All you can do is draw learn and approve. Great motivational video!
We can never stop learning :) Thank you for the comment!
*Me: *draws a line**
*Also me: WOW THIS IS THE BEST LINE I EVER DREW IN MY LIFEEE*
Yeah man a drawing is a drawing whether it's a line or a random pencils stroke it's on to you what you end up making that line into
Within minutes of watching this I whipped out my sketch book began a sketch, thanks. Just the motivation I needed.
Nicely explained. You are talented. I mean super talented.

I agree
Talent is nothing without hard work.
Very much agreed! 💜
This is not a talent it’s a skill
Don't want to be a downer, but when you boil it down to talent it can kind of dismiss the hard work that it took to get there. It is something you work at and refine through years and years of hard work and repetition. Not having a go at you, it's just something to think on when you compliment an artist.
I used to love drawing but my passion for it turned into aggravation cause they all turned out ugly and having a cousin who is a talented artist it's a bit frustrating when it feels like you can't draw to save my life now whenever I try to draw I get angry and give up but I'm going to attempt this xoxo
Take lesson at a local school district continuing education. Do it for yourself. Take anger management classes and/ or counseling to help you mature.
Ìnspiring...i must do this...so many things to do.
Thank you!
I want to say thank you for posting this video. Because it helped me to get back on track and start putting in the work. You have beautiful penmanship and your work is amazing. Giving me the motivation to try and try again. Wish you the best. And again thank you for this video.
When I was young, I had always wanted to draw manga and such stuff. I really loved it and wanted to do it. However, I always wanted everything to be perfect so I gave up very quickly because I hated all my drawings. My bf told me at that time, I need to practice so I will definitely improve, but I didn't do it. I just gave up. Then I focused on other things and was disappointed again and again. I couldn't find the same excitement that I had for mangas. Now, about closely 10 years later, I regret my childish behavior in the past. If I have finished my Bachelor Thesis in the next months, I want to learn drawing and painting again. I hope I won't give up this time. This video was very helpful and I hope I will stay motivated. Thank you ♥️
Did you give up? :D
Wow! Drawing every day for a year is so so difficult, especially if you work full time. Fantastic work in doing this challenge to improve your talent and what a great talent you have. I am definitely going to try this. Thanks for a wonderful video.
none of ur drawings from the beggining arent bad.When i heard u can't draw a face etc... i thought something 10000 worse then you showed lol.It's these kind of videos that discourage me from drawing.Everbody is good expect me lmao
@@kobodo that's the thing i can't stop comparing myself to people....
I bet if you see her pictures from years ago they wouldn't look the same. It took time for her to get where she is today. Don't expect to get better, by an enormous degree, in one day alone. I remember when I always drew girls with one eye, large bangs, a rounded rectangular body and spaghetti limbs 😂. Now, although I'm still far from where I'd like to be in my art, spaghetti limbs are no more. Body parts actually look like body parts 😊. But, all with time.
Nobody starts off good at it. Innate talent isn't really a thing. What really differentiates a good artist from a bad one is how much work you've put in. I'd recommend looking up the drawabox tutorials. Do those and practice each and every day, even if it's only for 15 minutes. Every time you notice an improvement it will motivate you to keep going.
Don't spend the next 10 years of your life putting it off because others are better, then look back and realise you'd be there too if only you put in the work.
Thea gurl same
The only way to get better is to draw! Try taking on the challenge she took on.
This is very inspiring ! You are literally giving me the motivation to fill that blank new sketch book. Everyday , I'm afraid to just begin drawing especially that i have ideas but I never took time to ACTUALLY make them happen. So thanks !
This video is something i really needed. I think i'm at the state you've been those few years ago. And this is letting me know that it's not the end of the world and if i put in work it will pay off.
Honestly. Your the only artist youtube that has actually inspired me to draw more and more. I needed this video
You're so inspirational.
You inspires me to keep going even there's any negative thinking or what other people says. You also inspires me to challenge myself in doing or improving art.
I'm totally happy that I got to watch this video of yours.
hi brushes and bunnies i just wanted to thank you for always being positive and that you have pushed me to draw even more often and try to draw portraits in my own way. i am a 12 yr old who is currently going to become 13 but at that young age im trying to improve my art so when im older i have a big experience already in drawing :D basically how it all started is when i was 5 years old and i started liking drawing so yeah ive been drawing for a long time :D
You are so young and in such a perfect position to start drawing :) If you practice a little each day or week, by the time you are my age, you will be a pro! If drawing is a passion, don't ever give it up for nothing. Good luck
thank you so much :D
I admire your persistence. Photographers often do a 365 project as well. After years of being away from my art I'm mid 365 project now and this struck a chord with me. You explain the emotions and progress well. Thank you for sharing.
I love what you had to say at the end. I feel like people are constantly pushing this sense of rabid positivity, and while it's great to be positive or optimistic, I prefer to be realistic. I prefer to see and acknowledge where I can do better, and work at making that a reality. Telling myself I'm great at something when I'm fledgling at best isn't a good thing to me. It allows me to be complacent and halt my own progress. I won't tear myself down, but I definitely won't give myself cookies I have yet to deserve. I enjoyed watching your video and hearing about your journey, so thank you for sharing!
I have discover your channel now and I love it. I’m taking a year to improve my drawing skills, and I’m drawing every day. I notice the change little by little. I can’t wait to see more of your videos and learn! 💕
I randomly came across this- this is exactly what I’ve been doing and the EXACT predicament I’m in. I’ve been drawing and painting between an hour and 5 hours a day for two weeks and even in that small amount of time, I’ve already seen an improvement. Sure I can draw a decent portrait with bad proportions but I now have improved on A LOT of my mistakes. It’s been the motivation I need to keep going and this was an extra push.
Thank you for this video. Currently I trying to get back into drawing and struggle hard at drawing humans. And hearing that you did a challenge to draw everyday and improving makes me want to continue drawing as well. I’m also taking classes so I hope I can get better and draw as cool as you.
YOUR ART STYLE IS SOOOOOOOO GOOD!!!!!!! BE PROUD OF THE ARTIST YOU HAVE BECOME!! you have inspired me to pursue drawing!! props!
You are doing great as an artist and a youtuber. You know what art is and i just love u. You are my THE ONLY inspiration right now😊😊
Dear Bunny,
I find your sketching videos so relaxing and I love your advice. It's definitely important to keep a loose wrist, an open mind and keep pushing forward.
The one thing I always take away from your videos is that determination is key.
I went to art school and I can say that there are times when it seems that art will try to beat you down, but you can achieve your goals if you keep working and practicing!
Thank you, i am drawing everyday too, i have decided this few months before, but i still not able to get to the level i desire, i wasn't going to give up, but motivation was sometimes off, i think that i will find it back thank to you. Thankyou very ＭＵＣＨ
Everyone learns at a different pace, so don't worry too much. As long as you make the effort each day, this is all that matters :) Good luck with your art journey!
Honestly right now I'm in the stage where you were before and this video is so motivational for me! I felt like a terrible drawer and sorta starting to push myself to succeed right now! It wouldn't of happened if I didn't use your tips and tricks and most importantly your advice! So Thank you iso much Brushes and Bunnies!
When people say "Stop uploading your art in social media and fishing for likes, it doesn't define you, yada yada," I get really annoyed because I improved so much and got tons of motivation to actually draw every day.
I’m happy that you got over the “beating yourself up” phase. I like your work. 👍🏻. I’m a new subscriber to your channel, young lady. Keep up the good work.
I started drawing after nine years . The last time i drew was in my school days . This quarantine made me wanna start everything again. Because i always wanted to draw but was afraid that i won't be able to because it's too late. But then i decided to just start . I started following couple of courses and iam shocked myself that I can draw better than what i was expecting . It is really important to have the interest amd being consistent with the right guidance.
Just discovered your channel today, and subscribed :) Your humility is part of your appeal. You aren't bragging about your artistic credentials like so many other artists do. You're saying "I was awful, I worked hard, and I got better, and so can you!" And that will inspire people! People want to be inspired, not made to feel like they'll never be as good or as talented. I'm learning to draw female faces and bodies for RPG characters that I do, and your style is exactly what I hope to achieve! Not too cartoonish, not too realistic, just a lovely happy medium. Can't wait to learn more from you!
I've been feeling that same way lately. Looks like I need to build a better habit of drawing everyday. Very inspirational!
It’s good to know that ‘good’ artists like yourself have doubts about how good their art is.......it makes you real👍 AND it give ME hope that I will improve! Don’t know if I will manage a whole year of drawing every day, but after watching this, you have inspired me to give it a go! Hope I improve as much as you x
THANK YOU FOR THIS!!! I just started my own art journey, and you confirmed all my idea of how to challenge myself and improve. I’m so proud for all your artistic accomplishments. You are an inspiration!
im 10 months late but I’m glad i stumbled upon this. i was so close to giving up. when you don’t see improvement in your work it can get discouraging and i honestly am not at all pleased with my art but im going to keep at it. thank you so much for this!
okay this was really inspiring. for the past three years or so i've been so busy with school that i've barely had any time for art. last year in march, i tried to do a sketch a day - i got 19 days in, and then failed as soon as spring break ended. now, i'm trying to get back into art and am attempting to upload an art video every two weeks. i know it's not a lot, but i hope i can take you as inspiration and keep going, even if for me it's just every two weeks. thank you
I’m making this comment purely because I notice you making this one mistake a lot, and its not to put you down, you’re art is lovely and I look up to you so so much, I absolutely adore you and your art, but, the rule for ears is that they go from the eye to the corner of the mouth, thats the general length rule I was taught at least. I just wanted to let you know.
But your art is amazing and I love you sooo much💕😂
hahhaha thank you! These mistakes I don't see right away and I have to be honest and say that I haven't really practiced ears as much as the other facial features. I will learn it however! Thanks again
Ears go from the eyebrow or corner of the eye, to the bottom of the nose, NOT to the mouth, those would be some humongous ears! I have really small ears, so mine are even smaller than that.
Vicky yeah I messed up, i actually apologized on another video
I learnt that they go from the eyebrows to the tip of the nose, sometimes even smaller
Am I the only one who checked to see if your ears lined up with the corners of your eyes and mouth, and were idiotically surprised when they were?
You have inspired me. I am big fan of yours.
I completely agree with you.
Self criticism is always important for acknowledging that one always need to expand his/her realm of creativity and to avoid saturation.
Loving this video and YES, you should be proud of yourself! I myself, decided to learn how to draw 6 months ago, and I’m nearing the 200th day of drawing every day mark. Learning how to draw fast (more or less) is hard work, and I’m reminded of this every day. Good work!
You are absolutely right. Criticism, even yourself on a art youtubechannel is not bad or "fishing for compliments". And pointing out the good things you can do are neither bad or wrong. That's how humans improve.
And I really like to see your accomplishments. Your art is stunning!
FANTASTIC. WISH I HAD DONE THIS AT LEAST 50 YEARS AGO. You go girl! Great accomplishment.
I’m proud of you for doing this. I’ve been drawing for a long time but just decided to draw everyday in my sketch book using ink only and not sketching with pencil first to get over the fear of sketching fast and erasing. It has improved me greatly confidence and speed! So I’m so proud of you for being consistent. I draw comics but we all can always improve
I loved this video so much that I subbed after watching. What made me sub was the "speech" (lol) you gave about how some are commenting that you are purposely putting yourself down so you can get compliments. That is a very absurd assumption. It is not at all easy to show your sketchbook to 1000's and it's even more difficult to talk about your insecurities when it comes to your skills as an artist. The instant growth of your channel was no doubt overwhelming. So I can totally get how you felt you didn't deserve such attention when you were still at a novice level. But you took that as a motivation to improve your art and for me, that is hella inspiring! I too struggle with drawing and if I'm being honest no I do not practice enough because it always looks like shit lol. I think I'll follow your example and just stop dissing my own art and get better despite how my biggest critic feels, which is myself. Great job and keep it up!
It's not just your art, though it's the biggest part of it. You also speak well and express yourself naturally in your videos. Thumbs up.
Awesome and very inspirational to folks like me who want to pick their drawing back up as a hobby, yet feel discouraged at their beginner attempts to get started again. I tend to be very hard on myself and I love the fact that you have overcome that voice in your head telling you "it's not good enough" and have shared your journey with us. I think your drawings are terrific and your commitment to daily drawing and fearlessness in sharing really helps people like me to keep going, despite our disappointment in our own skills. Thank you for your videos!
So by now I already drew or sketched every literal day for almost 3 years. No joke. It really "loosens" your artprogress. I got much more comfortable with nearly drawing anything.
You've inspired me to do a personal 365 drawing challenge. I just discovered your channel, so far I've liked everything I've seen.
THIS FREAKING CHANGED ME THANK YOU SO MUCH. I'm a self taught artist as of the last six months XD I have noticed personally how crazy it is that I can actually sort of draw stuff now even though I haven't been doing it that long...practicing helps so much more than I thought it would. But it's hard when everyone's been doing this stuff since they were a kid and took all the art classes in high school...I wanted to be that art kid SO BAD but I never thought that having drive and passion was enough without technical skills. Now, I am realizing that you can achieve anything you want to, ESPECIALLY if passion is already under your belt, but I still get stage fright even when I'm alone and tell myself I'm not good enough. So thank you for this. You are showing people that change is possible, and it's possible NOW. Yeah it's not an instant fix but with hard work look how far you came in a year!! You are a beautiful soul, thank you a billion. You've touched someone else through your video, so I would say that means you're successful. (:
You just healed my heart and my art. Love you
bin so happy feinen channel gefunden zu haben...du gibst mir so viel Energie und positive vibes 😊❤ich lerne zurzeit 2d conception und fühle mich so schlecht in all dem was ich tue
You spoke my own private thoughts & have Inspired & excited me to practice ! Like a piano player. You are helping people . Thank you for the education & feeling of excitement that you have given me within myself 💕
You're SUCH an inspiration. :) I love your honesty and transparency. I too struggle with being "good enough." I'm going to put into practice sketching each day. Thanks for your encouragement.
Even tho I had to go a very bad depression I watched ur video and and it made me feeel in depressed while watching your video. Listen up ignore the haters who kept on saying bad stuff, just ignore them because you know that you have us who support you
I'm currently one month in and what you're saying felt so true to me. It becomes second nature to draw every day.
I love this video. It's so honest and inspiring.
This is the first video I saw from you. And BOOM!! You got a subscriber. You inspired me so much. Thank you!!
Thank-you for this video, I started doing Digital art, And it was a terrible mistake... I realised that I needed to learn how to physically draw first- And I’m a person that gives up easily but when I watch your videos they make me feel so motivated and they make me realise that I Need to carry on trying, So Thank-you again! 😊
this is so inspirational! thank you for sharing this. i am inspired
I've not been subscribed to your channel for very long, however when I first came across your videos I was amazed! I've always loved art and sketched a lot when I was younger.. I've actually decided recently to dive full on into it, and turn my passion hopefully into a job, which is where I find your videos extremely helpful. I'm learning all sorts of helpful tips and I can completely agree with the not feeling good enough side! Watching your videos and feeling just how passionate you are about it all really kicks that passionate fire in me too and I just wanted to thank you :)
That's awesome! Congrats. I'm currently pushing myself to draw every single day to hopefully see improvements and progress.
It's channels like these that I love! They're actually so helpful because I can also relate. I feel that although I've been drawing for years, my skill is still at a beginners level. After watching your videos, I've been more motivated to actively try to improve my art. Seeing you doing the same and actually improving is giving me all the motivation I need! Thank you :)
Now you´re giving me some hopes! Thank you~
Right now Ißm also doing this 365 draw daily challenge. Till now I succeeded doing it for two whole months. Started right away on the first day of the year :D SO I hope at the end of the year if I did it till then I can look back proud of myself and with much better skills too
Very encouraging! Thanks for posting! I’ll be subscribing💖
Congratz on your journey. You put lots of effort on it and ye it's a really big deal. You should be proud of yourself. Keep up with the improvement, we all wanna see it :) I love humble artists who share what they learn, so I'm subscribing
Thanks for the wonderful words of encouragement. I love your art!
I love how humble you are. Totally subscribing. Love ya and your art!
so glad to see a video from you, i’ve just had a rough day and you brightened it! ❤️✨
aww you are so sweet. I hope your day will get better!
Any artists lurking in the comments?
Comment below, I am curious about your stuff
I used to draw so much in middle school, and it was less and less throughout high school, and then after graduation it was barely existent. I just got back into drawing when I realized I wanted to be a Graphic Designer. It's almost like starting over from the beginning, remembering all the tips and tricks I used to know. This video really inspired me to keep on trying!
Thank you so much! You motivated me so much to just keep trying and never give up. As you can see with my videos im not as good of an artist as you but im aiming to be better. I draw every day and hope i get on your level some day
I drew almost everyday my freshman year and I am so thankful that I did for my sophomore year class. I have more experience now. I have been having trouble fitting in art because I decided to be taking care of myself this year and indulging myself in literature. Although I have art class every week day it feels as if I am not doing art lol
I don't care about the stuff people have been criticizing you for, I think you just pushed me a bit to do what I love to do every day without having to overthink about negative stuff. Thank you!
Ok, I’m gonna draw every day😊you’re progress is absolutely stunning, keep it up!
you're amazing ! you push yourself even when you're not feeling like drawing , i need to learn that so bad and i really love your art , always inspired me ❤️
Wow 150.000 subs! Deserved I say! About to tackle a year long drawing a day task,, even got a 600 page sketchbook in it's way to record my adventure! I was relieved when you said after a month it's just second nature and something you just do! And I figured with a massive book on my table, I will be sweet, anyways I'm an older viewer of your channel 47 ,and you give me inspiration, I love your art, thank you
Hi brushes, I just discovered your channel & boy am I ever glad I did !! I felt like you were describing ME. I am in the exact same place you were in a few yrs ago, both mentally & artistically.
I fully understand the common negative self talk. Plz don't listen to the haters !! Your work is Amazing & you have truly Inspired this 54 yr old late bloomer to Begin & giving me a starting point & some direction.
So thank you so much & God bless you bunnies 😍❤😍
You've inspired me! I started to draw while you were talking and noticed that I should try to push myself more in art. You're art is amazing!!
For me, you were always good and all you've done is become better! Even things such as the battle scars and birthmarks just helped you build your skill. I've stayed here on your channel not only because of your art but because of your personality, you don't typically see art youtube channels like This, which is good!
Aww thank you :) Let us always remember the battle scars in this journey! haha
Ppl like you (and some other youtube artists) have gotten me out of artblock. Ty for not giving up because of some comments. It makes me not want to give up either. ❤ By watching you i learned myself watercolour. Which i really coulnt do at all.
I want to thank you for all your vids. You are so sweet and honest it’s a joy watching you 😊 you words are so true to hear to the hobby artist in me I learn so much. Thank you❤️
Thank you
This is a wonderfully honest and motivational video. I feel exactly as you described having felt at the beginning of your journey. Ive been struggling to stick with my daily drawing commitment, but this video helped encourage me to stick with it.
Thank you for making this video! It inspired me so much!
I feel very similar to you, I’ve been “drawing” for years but it’s never felt like I actually have any skill at all, even though others compliment me on my work. I’m going to try to push myself to work more and to work better starting today. Thank you for this video and for inspiring me!
Your work is awesome and i really needed to hear those words because i'm just getting back in track to learn drawing properly but i keep falling into a slump; But now i'm really want to get better and i'm looking all around for people or things to inspire me and your video just popped up at my home screen and i'm really thankful :3 keep it up
You have really inspired me!! Now I want to draw bunnies sooo bad 😂💙
Draw them, they are sooooo cute
I love this video! it gave me motivation to just push forward on getting better. I am just starting out and your videos on the face are really helpful and your art style is really great! keep up the work!
Hey BB, new subscriber here. Thank you so much for this video, the first one I watched was your sketchbook tour that you referenced in the video and I noticed those types of comments for sure but this video hits the nail on the head. You have inspired me to do at least one drawing a day for the entire year! Though I am not starting at the same skill level as you I am sure that this style of practice will result in some fantastic results. Thank you so much for your content and I look forward to sharing my art with you!
Searching for How to Draw Journey by Deborah Mends, you popped up and I found your whole video absolutely fascinating, bravo!!!
I draw too and also think that I am not that good although people always tell me that I'm good at art. but your video has really inspired me to keep a positive mind set and to try my best !! KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK
What a lovely inspiring video. Thank you for sharing your journey. I think a lot of us are our own toughest critics. We judge our work harshly and see the faults before the successes. It is comforting to know that we are not alone and the message about not giving up is one most of us can't hear often enough. You should be very proud of yourself - arting everyday and pushing through doubts is tough and you did it and you also make me feel like I can do it too. Thank you again.
Aww thank you :) I've said it in a couple other comments already, but honestly, it's comments like yours that inspire me to continue and push myself. Not only are we as artists our toughest critics but we also get told by many others that art is a waste of time. And this is totally wrong! I hope to teach this to a younger generation that art is a beautiful thing even with all of its challenges. If I can do it, you can also :)
omg you are absolutely amazing. i can't believe that you improved so fast. i wish i could draw like you because you are so talented
Your commitment and determination is so inspiring! Your artistic progression is definitely noticed :)
