    Him: You need to draw a circle
    Me: Instantly closes page and opens a new page searching up, how to draw a circle.
    Me: YESSSSS, I DID IT!
    Mum: You finally finished after two hours! Lets see, it must be good
    Me: I've draw the circle

    I just want to say, thank you, Wei. I am a very beginner drawer and I always thought it would be much more difficult and take me a lot longer to learn these techniques, but thanks to your videos I have learned a lot very quickly. I am still not very good yet but I already have a good start and the confidence to know that if I keep practicing I will be able get better and make really nice drawings very soon.

    hey Wei
    I am a high school student who is doing art in her school and I have selected this subject to do fighting against a lot of people ( my family , relatives , teachers and etc) because they think I am not talented enough for this field but I love drawing and art and all.....So I have took this decision and I am following your videos as a guide so Thank You so much......
    and Do you think Its possible to draw better and greater in 7-9 months because my main exams are on 7-9 months and to prove everyone wrong I must take an A+ so be honest and tell

    • @ArtofWeiHo
      @ArtofWeiHo  Год назад +1

      Oh absolutely, drawing is mostly practice. In 7-9 months, you can improve a lot. My advice, if time is an issue, is to avoid grinding on an artwork. An example of grinding would be shading hair for a couple of days for an art piece. Though it might look nice, you won't learn as much. Looking back, one of the biggest road block for me was not knowing where to look to improve. Over time, you will realize things about your art and technique that you can't see right now. That's just the way it is I think. Hopefully that can be sped up. Good luck.

It's too bad we didn't have instructors like you in school, they even replaced our art class with a guy that used a program to teach us to construct basic carpentry shapes and things. It was a real downer, they could have at least taught us drafting or actual carpentry(digital or physical). I don't mean to have long replies, I just really like this work. I'm going to try to start taking an hour a day toward self improvement.
