Art sometimes can feel stressful for me and I feel overwhelmed on what to draw and how. But this video helped me understand that it doesn’t have to be!❤ I have a notebook on all my art notes
@@upthink5204 ai art is not art. they're computer generated illustrations and images. there's no creativity put into generating an ai "art". you don't create an ai "art". you generate an ai "art". ai steals art from artists, mash them together and generate bunch of images. if you want to use ai as tools for looking up references or for a visual idea and plan for your art piece and then you draw your illustration on your own referencing the ai piece, it's fine. it's helpful actually. but when you just put in prompts and generate an ai piece and claiming you "made" it. do not call yourself an artist. you do not call yourself a poet when you just use an online poem generator.
As someone who's past 30yo, and who's been drawing since, like, age 5, I dunno, I feel like my "art" and style didn't lose quality but also didn't improve much either. I definitely feel more confident with traditional art (ye the good old pen/pencil, paper and colored pencils, copics became a recent luxury). I do struggle with digital art, although I'm not quite awful. I am aware that I draw like, 2 pieces a year nowadays, coz, life... And when I was younger (high-school, uni) I used to draw SO.DAMN.MUCH. I legit drew every single day, sometimes for 5+h without breaks, and I draw *fast* 🌝 I remember spending time with my friend who also drew, and she did her digital art while I stuck with paper, and by the time she'd be done with each single strand of hair on her drawing, I've already completed 2... (I guess she's just slow af lol) Anyways, all the advice you gave is literally the only advice you need, and not just for art. The only way to improve is to simply draw, draw, draw some more and then draw again. As you go, you *WILL* notice where you're lacking and what can be improved, and honestly, compared to 15-20 years ago, nowadays we have so many tools and benefits on the internet, just use them properly. Cheers. ✨
@@Avoricee This depends from person to person, and it also depends on how much/how fast you want to improve. I'm speaking from my experience, so this might not apply to everyone. When I was younger, I had less resources to use as references (this was back during the '90s when I just became aware of anime). I used to draw Sailor Moon all the time, but the thing is, I could only watch it on TV and just for 25mins a day, so most of it was from my memory. However, as I drew more, and watched more I got better little by little. I started paying more attention to the details, and this helps me even now, I try to memorize as much as I can in a short amount of time. After that, when I got the internet at home, I would look at various manga art and try to draw my own characters in similar style. Back in high-school I was a huge fan of Bleach, and I tried drawing in that style. Finally, I developed my own style some time at the end of high-school, and the "practice" wasn't much of a practice anyway, I just drew because I like drawing. However, I did start paying more attention to anatomy and shadows. My conclusion is - draw as much as you like, draw whatever you like and however you like, then, when you become comfortable drawing certain shapes, styles or fast enough, try focusing on things you want to improve (like anatomy, coloring, shadows, lineart, etc). Don't try to just improve everything at once, this will surely ruin the experience of drawing, it will become more of a chore than something fun.
@@Avoricee I think you should start with the fundamentals, like the shapes from perspective. Use as many references as you need because you need to build that visual library. What is visual library? you know how kim jung gi draw from imagination? That is visual library--he trained himself for years how to draw and visualize an object in different perspective. Try and challenge yourself to do the same, there's always something to draw. Learning art and creating art doesn't mean that you need to create a MASTERPIECE everytime you pickup the pen. Every artist, every masters of art is a master at fundamentals. Master the basics and fundamentals and by time you'll see how far you have come. I just learned of this recently and this helped me so much in improving my art. If you don't have any idea what to draw there's a lot in the internet to copy--try recreating a piece of art that resonates with you, like in digital painting ask yourself "how did this artist achieve this effect" or in perspective "how to draw this object in this camera angle" etc... In the grand scheme of things--we creative beings are held back by our own perfectionist mindsets...let go of that and you'll unlock the power you didn't know you had before. Awaken that power inside you! Learning art is a battlefield you keep getting hurt but the only way to win is to move forward.
This video definitely made me realize how I was going about drawing the complete wrong way. Especially the past several months I’ve felt that I rely on reference way too much and can’t do much of anything without spending hours crawling the web for them. I think in my quest to make my drawings as good as the images I was referencing I completely neglected to really study the piece and deconstruct it. I would instead just look at it a little bit and just try to recreate what I saw without a deliberate deep understanding of the subject. While in some cases my art would come out great most of the time it wouldn’t really come out that good and I would normally forget what I studied almost immediately after and I’d wonder why my art style would be changing so drastically (and getting worse at the same time). Hopefully I can really reflect on it and get to the root of the problem so I can be done with it once and for all and can finally have the freedom with drawing I’ve always wanted. Thank you for making this video, hope to come back to this comment in the near future a much better artist. Also ouch that statement at the end describes me perfectly, better get on it instead of looking for more videos and images 😂😂😂
It took me a few trys to fully understand what your useful tips & tricks were but after a few moments it came a lot more clear to my head. This is not just tips & tricks, but the strategys you gave out is quite literally the ultimate advice to art. The way I view art now is completely different now compared to how I thought about it so long ago. Watching videos like these kind of made have a "reset" my whole mind about art. I was so blind about art, I thought it just simply ment to be perfect at it, or somewhere similar to that. I wasn't even close to what it truly ment to be an artist. Video's like these made me stop and think about what is around me, the whole world at that. To look at every shape, angle, perspectives, shading, lighting, etc. I didn't even notice that art was all around me from the very beginning. Just by looking at a simple building, all the textures to it is art. That to me is incredibly insane to me. This really inspires me to study the elements of art and all about it. I once heard someone talk about to "draw perfectly" (like drawing a perfect circle) doesn't mean it's the only thing that is art, literally anything can be art. This opened my eyes so clearly it's impossible to describe how much it did. (Sorry I'm saying the word art so much, anyways😅) Idk why I wrote this "big college essay" I just wanted to put it out there. This topic is so much more than what meets the eye, and maybe this'll help those who are having trouble and think art is to complicated. Even your buddy stick man is art, no matter how bad you look at it. :)
When I read this, I felt like I can really relate when you mentioned about you feel insecure about if your opinion is good. If I'm gonna be totally honest, when someone tells me (or acts like) how I think is "weird" or "wrong" I feel like I should immediately change my perspective to how they view things. (Not trying to get to personal or anything here 😅) I am really glad I helped you out just as much as you did to me. I'm happy to see you enjoy really long responses like this one. 😅 I usually write a lot when I wanna go in full detail anyways. (don't mind me lol) And to be honest, out of all the tutorials on how to improve on art, I would definitely have to say your the one that really makes the easier steps that most find difficult to actually do a lot more simple than what some of it really needs to be. I like how you paid more attention to the smaller things when improving art. Motivation in art can be a lot for people to pick up sometimes if they don't feel that calmness when drawing something. But when you mentioned small but helpful methods like keeping yourself in one room for 3 to 4 hours and draw the basic things that a beginner would need to know, that may seem a bit extreme to some people. But if one is really determined to study the different levels of art, that is one very helpful way to do it. I won't keep you reading here for to long if you ever see this, but keep up the fantastic work. To me your wonderful at explaining art, you don't explain it like most of the artists I watch. I'm pressing that sub button for sure lol. I love your art style btw!
i used to draw literally every day until the end of my junior year. im halfway through my senior year and have pretty much stopped completely. this video made me wanna at least try again, thanks.
°`♡You know, your drawing is very beautiful, but I do not understand English because I am from an Arab country, but I watch your clips because I love this style of drawing. If you can, in the future, put a translation, I will be grateful. Thank you.¡◇
I relate to this a lot, the realization that you have so much to learn :'( . For me I try to ask myself, how can I make it simple? or what if this was simple?
12:06 Not everyone can understand your way of wording it compared to when other people word it. I'd say this golden nugget only shines to the right person while for others, the other golden nugget which just so happens to be very similar to yours shines to them better. One more thing I'd like to say is that having a goal like "I want to be a great artist" is fine as long as the person is aware of what good artists do(which is practice a lot) because it helps motivate to actually do the practice and study needed to become however good the person wishes to be.
thank youuuu this was so helpful!!!! honestly listening to this helped me remember that the learning process is not so hard once you break it down into smaller pieces and set clear, manageable goals for yourself. i remember having watched the tedx talk you mentioned, and i remember enjoying it a lot! so i am going to rewatch that next. one thing that i worry about sometimes when i am studying is that i am just doing mindless practice, by just copying another reference without thinking about what i am doing. you described the alternative really well and basically the most important thing, i've found, is to be intentional about what you're learning. i try to do that more often, but it's hard especially since i haven't had a lot of experience with drawing until around this year. i am also trying to balance my learning process with remembering to have fun with my art, and not killing my motivation by pushing myself too hard and drawing too much at once insetad of getting the sleep that i need to function. but i absolutely love what you said about the emotional barrier to making art and overcoming that fear of stupidity, because i have been thinking about that for a long time and i am still learning how to deal with that every day. but just hearing you say it reminded me that i'm not alone in this and that there is hope. anyway thank you so much for making this cause it's so nice to reflect and realize why i'm struggling so i can work to make it better. i love your art by the way! thank you for reading all of this, :) have a nice day
I have the same problem, I often think about the fact that I am engaged in mindless practice, how can I be intentional? what should I draw constantly and how? Like to sketch or draw from imagination?
I'm gonna watch this video 50x until it's engraved in my head ✨️ TYSM!! - My huge pressure is [esp with digital] "what's my art style!?!? Everyone's is so cool and looks so put together but what's mine!!??!" -- you made it so much easier by saying "stop wondering & start exploring!!!" Ty for putting this in perspective - it feels like things we should [simply] already know, but overlook bc the critic in our head says "nope try again... ew lol..."
Thank you so much for that! Yes, I was procrastinating and, to some extent, scared to face my bad art. You gave some logical and obvious tips and broke through my thick skull. Now it's up to me use em :)
Just know some of us literally fall asleep or can’t focus well in silence. It’s ok to put music on in the background if that’s how your brain works best!
Well, after trying for 6 months to improve at digital art to be able to draw my own Vtuber png and be a good streamer and having a mental breakdown, yeah I admit that those advices are useful. I had my breakdown cuz I have friend that in that length of time did not just become an artist, but was commissioning too, so I had a very bad comparison breakdown. This is too what Marc Brunet says about the explorer approach of focus (and yeah, I binged all his videos). But yeah, these advices are really good, nice,I will apply them and I hope I can become a way better artist and do a lot of progress soon 🥺💖.
OKAY. You're officially my favorite person in the art community ♡ Even if you're not the best artist, I have immense respect for you because your videos are soo helpful and wholesome. See you at the top one day :)) - Mei Star
This was so helpful thank you!! Recently I've been feeling a need to improve but the entire time I wasn't sure how I was gonna do it And that caused me to procrastinate for a while So watching this video gave me more motivation to actually start improving and get to a decent level!! Let's just hope school doesn't stop me :'D
This helped me and now I really want to draw a lot. I don't know if I can really learn within 20-24 hours (cause of my lack of commitment which i should be working on and ADHD..) I felt like there was a little more room to improve for me but, that was and understatement and I got pretty stressed. But I learnt a good amount of things from this video!!
I've recently been trying to improve my art skills and this really does raise good points on the learning process. Can say it works, though that was before watching the video in all honesty 😅
I always did the bad practive, and whenever i tried to draw what i practiced to from memory, i would all fail. I always get so overhelmd by other pro artists thinking that i will never be like them. I always try to practice art, but i just fall back to square one.
"If we didn't have a visual library, we wouldn't be able to create art!" Me, with aphantasia: (Great video, though! I'm just nitpicking as a joke, but all of what you said is very good advice)
I won't comment the content of the video, still need to think about the tips. I just will comment on your art, which I really like! I think it's pretty unique for what I've seen so far on RUclips, so good luck on your journey, dear human being. Hold on, and, I'm back!! I really, really like your video. Not only did you manage to put _"Golden nugget"_ in an art video, you also managed to motivate me enough to draw for probably at least 20 minutes, which I indentify as a hard task. Now, I'm an artist myself. Honestly, you've done a great job giving us the illusion that art is easy to learn, and I just have to give you the credit for that. Good job, good video, cool editing, great art, useful tips and motivation given. I hope both sides of your pillow will be cold and that you will manage to find the long side of the blanket tonight :]
🥺🥺🥺👊✨ thank you so much!! Im glad that it MOTIVATED you to draw 20 mins, hopefully I can motivate you 4 ever!!!! And thank you, I shall enjoy the cool side of the pillow (it’s summer always) and Always find the long side of the blanket. I hope you have a great holiday💕👊🥺😊✨👍
@@kayokayed1327 You're more than welcome. Fair trade it is. Motivation for 20 minutes, a night of hapeeh sleepy. So, anyways, thanks again. I think I'll go watch more of your videos later on.
Your channel is so underrated! You deserve more subs. Just a little tip from me, it would be nice if you lower the volume of the background music, so it won't distract us from paying attention to your voice
I’ve been practicing for so long but I still keep failing at every skill, I’m feeling discouraged but I’ll try to take this advice. If it doesn’t work than I really am dumb.
I've been doing art for 15 years and I always feel like I never really improved much. Like I will see all these 13 year old art prodigies (like my younger siblings) and it makes me feel very worthless. I'm constantly trying to improve but my art always looks like garbage and then I end up not doing it for a month :'( it sucks because next year I'm supposed to make a portfolio for art colleges so I can get a degree
I watched both your video and the other video I’ve already started my journey to improve my art but I found I wasn’t going anywhere this really helped me understand and I think I will start with doing anatomy basics! I recently felt really down about how my friend had drawn for a year and was way better than I ever was and I’ve been drawing for all my life and enjoyed it as it was one of the things I’m good at! Though I’m not sure where or how to find what to start with in the meaning of ho or what I just don’t know if I draw from references and try to create the body or how t9 imagine I’m reallly stuck!
The way I learned to draw was by observing what other artists do and seeking tutorials that would help with my current dificulty. Cant draw a straight line? Well you just draw too slowly and use your fingers to draw instead of using your whole arm. Cant do shading? Follow the direction of the light and figure out what interupts it. Suck at anatomy? Learn only the muscles that change the most on the surface. Your art looks muddy? Learn about edges. Your art looks flat? Learn about values....
You definitely got me with the part about What you want to do after watching this video. So fine, I'll start doing some fundamentals right know. Thank you very much for the video. BTW, is reading your comments not a way to procrastinate... ? 😇
Thank you for the video and valuable information. The way you presented ideas is also interesting and understandable, I never understood the 20:80 rule until now lmao
I really needed this, I am a young artist I'm 9 and I think I'm incredible at drawing for my age. But I really needed this still for digital art. I found so many things useful! Thank you so much I subbed. I believe anyone can become a artist at ANY age as long as you put work into it, watch useful tips that will make your art amazing, and your time. Could you do another vid for backgrounds or can these tips also be useful for making background too?
Please remember one thing artist objective and you can create anything you put your imagination to it doesn't have to be perfect it has to be unique it has to make you happy as long as you got those things you can do anything
Started art 2 months ago.. and I set a timer for 10 hours switching between practicing the basics and doing fun stuff. I have started with no talent I haven't done art as a kid. I can confirm that doing the basics has gotten me from dumpsterfire art that visually hurts me to people saying my art is decent.. I still think its bad just need more practice I guess
I am already 24 years old, they have told me that I am too old to learn and no matter how hard I practice, I cannot learn to do something as simple as torsos My problem is that I can't make my own drawings, I just do practices and more practices without understanding anything, I buy advanced books, also basic ones, but I just keep copying the studies from the book.
you can absolutely learn it and become excellent at it even at 24, don't listen to them. just try to understand anatomy by looking up pics and observing. break down body parts into simple shapes like cylinders, rectangles and triangles. most importantly, dont give up
Hand tutorial? I find that most of the ones I look at don't help I still end up disliking they way they come out and when I do try to do it with references I don't know how to break down the hand T-T
Good video The important of fundamental is kinda crazy, because how can you study/learn/ or even correct yourself when you don’t know what you’re studying for!! I think I created a step by step for myself, and I want know if you think this is good or going to effective: Step one: learning the basics shape or elements / how the thing is formed - I want step two to be learn the basic form, but I’m not too sure if I completely understand what that means Step three: references| practicing, and studying the pictures. This is my rough draft, and it’s probably bad- but I do want to know if this bad or if I’m on the right track (sorry if this doesn’t make sense
Whenever I'm not sure what to draw I practice by copying my favorite artists and trying to recognize what kind of shapes they use in their construction, their gesture etc
its been a waaay long time since i completed an artwork without feeling overwhelmed and these recent times i couldn't even finish the things i started and was planning to take a break from uni because the art classes were such a hassle to me but your video popped up just at the right time and now im feeling super motivated to draw!! thank you so much for enlightening me hahah
after drawing thousands upon thousands of stuff. (thats two thousand face.. something clicked in my head.) then i often zone out for 10 hrs. drawing faces. then after doing that for a year. another click in my head... now i can draw faces like drawing stick drawings... especially like midnight... i dunno but my focus is 100 times better at night
Can you make a video on "how to find your art style" because I am working on it but its so hard to find my own i practice but i always draw as everybody draws i want to get my very own style that represents me pls can you make a video about it
when everybody would just realize that all of their problem would be solve if they just study the fundamentals the whole world would be at peace XD i see a lot of young artist immediately go to doing styluze and even studying other artist when they dont even have the basics, and they ask why their art is so inconsistent
its hard to memorise a lot of things like hands, instead learn the fundementals of it so you understand it and dont have to learn and look at how its supposed to look! did i get that right?
Art sometimes can feel stressful for me and I feel overwhelmed on what to draw and how. But this video helped me understand that it doesn’t have to be!❤ I have a notebook on all my art notes

I'm so glad this popped up on my feed, I've had such tough time with my art recently. I don't when know where to start anymore. 😭
I relate to this a lot, the realization that you have so much to learn :'( . For me I try to ask myself, how can I make it simple? or what if this was simple?
12:06 Not everyone can understand your way of wording it compared to when other people word it. I'd say this golden nugget only shines to the right person while for others, the other golden nugget which just so happens to be very similar to yours shines to them better.
One more thing I'd like to say is that having a goal like "I want to be a great artist" is fine as long as the person is aware of what good artists do(which is practice a lot) because it helps motivate to actually do the practice and study needed to become however good the person wishes to be.
Okay, the video is cool but the art in the background is so amazing the light, the hair, everything. You have such amazing art skills, good job.
Thank you so much !!!
thank youuuu this was so helpful!!!! honestly listening to this helped me remember that the learning process is not so hard once you break it down into smaller pieces and set clear, manageable goals for yourself. i remember having watched the tedx talk you mentioned, and i remember enjoying it a lot! so i am going to rewatch that next.
one thing that i worry about sometimes when i am studying is that i am just doing mindless practice, by just copying another reference without thinking about what i am doing. you described the alternative really well and basically the most important thing, i've found, is to be intentional about what you're learning. i try to do that more often, but it's hard especially since i haven't had a lot of experience with drawing until around this year. i am also trying to balance my learning process with remembering to have fun with my art, and not killing my motivation by pushing myself too hard and drawing too much at once insetad of getting the sleep that i need to function.
but i absolutely love what you said about the emotional barrier to making art and overcoming that fear of stupidity, because i have been thinking about that for a long time and i am still learning how to deal with that every day. but just hearing you say it reminded me that i'm not alone in this and that there is hope.
anyway thank you so much for making this cause it's so nice to reflect and realize why i'm struggling so i can work to make it better. i love your art by the way! thank you for reading all of this, :) have a nice day
I have the same problem, I often think about the fact that I am engaged in mindless practice, how can I be intentional? what should I draw constantly and how? Like to sketch or draw from imagination?
I'm gonna watch this video 50x until it's engraved in my head ✨️ TYSM!! - My huge pressure is [esp with digital] "what's my art style!?!? Everyone's is so cool and looks so put together but what's mine!!??!" -- you made it so much easier by saying "stop wondering & start exploring!!!" Ty for putting this in perspective - it feels like things we should [simply] already know, but overlook bc the critic in our head says "nope try again... ew lol..."
Thank you so much for that! Yes, I was procrastinating and, to some extent, scared to face my bad art. You gave some logical and obvious tips and broke through my thick skull. Now it's up to me use em :)
Just know some of us literally fall asleep or can’t focus well in silence. It’s ok to put music on in the background if that’s how your brain works best!
U have such a gorgeous art style don’t stop!
thank you
Well, after trying for 6 months to improve at digital art to be able to draw my own Vtuber png and be a good streamer and having a mental breakdown, yeah I admit that those advices are useful. I had my breakdown cuz I have friend that in that length of time did not just become an artist, but was commissioning too, so I had a very bad comparison breakdown. This is too what Marc Brunet says about the explorer approach of focus (and yeah, I binged all his videos). But yeah, these advices are really good, nice,I will apply them and I hope I can become a way better artist and do a lot of progress soon 🥺💖.
OKAY. You're officially my favorite person in the art community ♡
Even if you're not the best artist, I have immense respect for you because your videos are soo helpful and wholesome.
See you at the top one day :))
- Mei Star
Thank you so much
For me the hardest thing to do is staying consistent
your art is so neat! i could learn a lot from your painting style
The backround is so pretty! The colors are beautiful, I loved the clouds sm
This was so helpful thank you!!
Recently I've been feeling a need to improve but the entire time I wasn't sure how I was gonna do it
And that caused me to procrastinate for a while
So watching this video gave me more motivation to actually start improving and get to a decent level!!
Let's just hope school doesn't stop me :'D
You deserve more recognition man!
@SiaNKs True lol
Thanks ,this video is the best among all the videos I have watched on improving art .
I will certainly apply this knowledge
Thanks a bunch Sensei🎉
LOVE THIS SM!!!
We thank you a lot, I haven't drawn in a while so this will help!!
Nice video! I was distracted so I'll have to watch it again, but I appreciate the helpful tips I heard and the process demo. Have a wonderful day!
i'm not a beginner but it helps so much even for me
This helped me and now I really want to draw a lot. I don't know if I can really learn within 20-24 hours (cause of my lack of commitment which i should be working on and ADHD..) I felt like there was a little more room to improve for me but, that was and understatement and I got pretty stressed. But I learnt a good amount of things from this video!!
good quality information,I liked the 0 distraction tip a lot because it is the best way to skyrccket learning art. Have a good one my friend.
I've recently been trying to improve my art skills and this really does raise good points on the learning process. Can say it works, though that was before watching the video in all honesty 😅
ok you did not have to call me out on the procrastinating 😭
I always did the bad practive, and whenever i tried to draw what i practiced to from memory, i would all fail. I always get so overhelmd by other pro artists thinking that i will never be like them. I always try to practice art, but i just fall back to square one.
I'm so glad I found this, this helps out so much with art. I've been procrasting so bad aaa
Your drawings look amazing, thank you for the content, I'm happy to find someone using a differente approche about learning art.
thank you
"If we didn't have a visual library, we wouldn't be able to create art!"
Me, with aphantasia:
(Great video, though! I'm just nitpicking as a joke, but all of what you said is very good advice)
I won't comment the content of the video, still need to think about the tips. I just will comment on your art, which I really like! I think it's pretty unique for what I've seen so far on RUclips, so good luck on your journey, dear human being.
Hold on, and, I'm back!! I really, really like your video. Not only did you manage to put _"Golden nugget"_ in an art video, you also managed to motivate me enough to draw for probably at least 20 minutes, which I indentify as a hard task. Now, I'm an artist myself. Honestly, you've done a great job giving us the illusion that art is easy to learn, and I just have to give you the credit for that. Good job, good video, cool editing, great art, useful tips and motivation given.
I hope both sides of your pillow will be cold and that you will manage to find the long side of the blanket tonight :]
🥺🥺🥺👊✨ thank you so much!! Im glad that it MOTIVATED you to draw 20 mins, hopefully I can motivate you 4 ever!!!! And thank you, I shall enjoy the cool side of the pillow (it’s summer always) and Always find the long side of the blanket. I hope you have a great holiday💕👊🥺😊✨👍
@@kayokayed1327 You're more than welcome. Fair trade it is. Motivation for 20 minutes, a night of hapeeh sleepy. So, anyways, thanks again. I think I'll go watch more of your videos later on.
Ill come back to this once i learn how to hold a pencil 👍
Lovely art and advice video! Thank you for this video!☺️
This literally explained all my problems with art and corrected them Ty ❤!
this video made me realize i was in that plateau and what i need to do to improve
Can't believe I didn't find you sooner! New sub!
I LOOOOOOOVE UR ARTSYLE !!!😤❣ and thanks for the tutoriaaaal *^.^*
Your channel is so underrated! You deserve more subs. Just a little tip from me, it would be nice if you lower the volume of the background music, so it won't distract us from paying attention to your voice
Thank you for the tip, I will make sure it isn't too loud next time :D
felt a bit exposed by the procrastinating 💀
y should be XD
Perfect!
tu aqui menó?
Stop watching videos. You're just procrastinating. LOL I feel called out.
I’ve been practicing for so long but I still keep failing at every skill, I’m feeling discouraged but I’ll try to take this advice. If it doesn’t work than I really am dumb.
tysmmm! I've been drawing inconsistantly for yearsss... I would literally just draw like once every two months... so I didn't improve much.
I've been doing art for 15 years and I always feel like I never really improved much. Like I will see all these 13 year old art prodigies (like my younger siblings) and it makes me feel very worthless. I'm constantly trying to improve but my art always looks like garbage and then I end up not doing it for a month :'( it sucks because next year I'm supposed to make a portfolio for art colleges so I can get a degree
I love that the best tip that I needed to hear was at the end thank you so much
I watched both your video and the other video I’ve already started my journey to improve my art but I found I wasn’t going anywhere this really helped me understand and I think I will start with doing anatomy basics! I recently felt really down about how my friend had drawn for a year and was way better than I ever was and I’ve been drawing for all my life and enjoyed it as it was one of the things I’m good at! Though I’m not sure where or how to find what to start with in the meaning of ho or what I just don’t know if I draw from references and try to create the body or how t9 imagine I’m reallly stuck!
The way I learned to draw was by observing what other artists do and seeking tutorials that would help with my current dificulty. Cant draw a straight line? Well you just draw too slowly and use your fingers to draw instead of using your whole arm. Cant do shading? Follow the direction of the light and figure out what interupts it. Suck at anatomy? Learn only the muscles that change the most on the surface. Your art looks muddy? Learn about edges. Your art looks flat? Learn about values....
I really love the art you made in this video 😮😮 the colours are so pretty and go together Well…. Thank you for the video
You definitely got me with the part about What you want to do after watching this video.
So fine, I'll start doing some fundamentals right know.
Thank you very much for the video.
BTW, is reading your comments not a way to procrastinate... ? 😇
yayay!!! i'm so proud of you
Thank you for the video and valuable information. The way you presented ideas is also interesting and understandable, I never understood the 20:80 rule until now lmao
I'm glad this video helps :)))
hey !! just want to tell you that your tips and videos are helping me a lot :D
I really needed this, I am a young artist I'm 9 and I think I'm incredible at drawing for my age. But I really needed this still for digital art. I found so many things useful! Thank you so much I subbed.
I believe anyone can become a artist at ANY age as long as you put work into it, watch useful tips that will make your art amazing, and your time. Could you do another vid for backgrounds or can these tips also be useful for making background too?
I appreciate you calling me out for procrastinating 😆 😭
"by watching more video's you are procrastinating"
How dare you call me out like that...
"by watching more art tutorials you. Are. Procrastinating." THE CALLOUT😞😞😭😭
"By watching more videos, you are procrastinating." sshhhhhh. I know this. You are right, but SSHHHHH.
XD
Tq... I was waiting for it and it was so helpful
AUTOMATIC SUB!!! I’m so going to use these tips! Thank u ❤️
Legendary. I was about to watch another video until 11:55 😂
This video really helped me tysm
wow! Thank you, this really motivates me, Kay.
Please remember one thing artist objective and you can create anything you put your imagination to it doesn't have to be perfect it has to be unique it has to make you happy as long as you got those things you can do anything
You're so underrated, + 1 sub for you!
Started art 2 months ago.. and I set a timer for 10 hours switching between practicing the basics and doing fun stuff. I have started with no talent I haven't done art as a kid. I can confirm that doing the basics has gotten me from dumpsterfire art that visually hurts me to people saying my art is decent.. I still think its bad just need more practice I guess
I am already 24 years old, they have told me that I am too old to learn and no matter how hard I practice, I cannot learn to do something as simple as torsos
My problem is that I can't make my own drawings, I just do practices and more practices without understanding anything, I buy advanced books, also basic ones, but I just keep copying the studies from the book.
you can absolutely learn it and become excellent at it even at 24, don't listen to them. just try to understand anatomy by looking up pics and observing. break down body parts into simple shapes like cylinders, rectangles and triangles. most importantly, dont give up
Fundamental, refrence, ask yourself
"How do i make this simpler so that i could remember this subject for longer period of time"
Such a helpful video, thank you! Can’t wait to find some time to draw and apply these tips 💕
Thank you for this. this has motivated me to create and study.☺
Hand tutorial? I find that most of the ones I look at don't help I still end up disliking they way they come out and when I do try to do it with references I don't know how to break down the hand T-T
I need a video on how to learn to learn to improve at art fast fast
Bro you Draw like Kooleen ITS SO JUICYYY
Good video
The important of fundamental is kinda crazy, because how can you study/learn/ or even correct yourself when you don’t know what you’re studying for!!
I think I created a step by step for myself, and I want know if you think this is good or going to effective:
Step one: learning the basics shape or elements / how the thing is formed
- I want step two to be learn the basic form, but I’m not too sure if I completely understand what that means
Step three: references| practicing, and studying the pictures.
This is my rough draft, and it’s probably bad- but I do want to know if this bad or if I’m on the right track (sorry if this doesn’t make sense
Whenever I'm not sure what to draw I practice by copying my favorite artists and trying to recognize what kind of shapes they use in their construction, their gesture etc
This really helped, also amazing art!! What’s the effects u added in 12:14 ? It looks really cool
amazing video!!
Yo estoy agradecido mi lady por los consejos
Do you think you can explain good practice a bit more? I’m kinda dumb and didn’t really understand.
@ninesann thank you! thank you! 🙏🙇
its been a waaay long time since i completed an artwork without feeling overwhelmed and these recent times i couldn't even finish the things i started and was planning to take a break from uni because the art classes were such a hassle to me but your video popped up just at the right time and now im feeling super motivated to draw!! thank you so much for enlightening me hahah
after drawing thousands upon thousands of stuff. (thats two thousand face.. something clicked in my head.) then i often zone out for 10 hrs. drawing faces. then after doing that for a year. another click in my head... now i can draw faces like drawing stick drawings... especially like midnight... i dunno but my focus is 100 times better at night
This is really helpful.Thank you for your video😍
Can you make a video on "how to find your art style" because I am working on it but its so hard to find my own i practice but i always draw as everybody draws i want to get my very own style that represents me pls can you make a video about it
ofc!!! I will try to make it in the future
how to draw a hand?
I’ll get some video links

@@dreamyvria thank you
@@abriririri ty
Could you do a rendering tut one day? I’ve been trying to figure out how it works
and people says we artists gatekeep. here we share how to draw freely.
when everybody would just realize that all of their problem would be solve if they just study the fundamentals the whole world would be at peace XD i see a lot of young artist immediately go to doing styluze and even studying other artist when they dont even have the basics, and they ask why their art is so inconsistent
1. Learn the basics
2. Learn enough o self correct
3. Eliminate distractions
4. Practice
I WANNA WATCH IT SO BADLY BUT IM IN SCHOOL HELPDJDJSKAL 😭😭😭😭😭
upd: i watched and all i can say is: YES. this is so true that I can't even argue.
Could u do a tutorial on how to draw clouds?
I mean if you want to. I never even thought about using the last tool as a shortcut
underrated channel
And thank you for the video it helped a lot
I love your drawings and videos *chef kiss* ❤😊❤😊❤😊❤😊❤😊❤😊❤😊❤😊❤
its hard to memorise a lot of things like hands, instead learn the fundementals of it so you understand it and dont have to learn and look at how its supposed to look! did i get that right?
yep :)
@@kayokayed1327 ok ty
Very Nice thank you
2d art is pog
