I'm currently 14, turning 15 this year, but I only recently became passionate about drawing, and sketching. Still trying to figure out my style, and how I want to do faces, and working on proportions. But I've always drawn, ever since kindergarten i was really interested, but I dropped that when I was around 10. I've picked it back up recently when I was about 13, and I've been really trying to work on my techniques. I'm no where near as good as you were when you were my age, but you seemed to have had a lot more practice. Your videos give me a lot of inspiration & I know I'll be able to get better 😊
I'm in the same boat as you. I recently became passionate about art in 2015 and I'm 14 going on 15. I'm working on proportions for the body and it's so hard.
+Kianna Madden honestly just hang in there, do sketches and drawings and date them, so later on you can see your progress. It's realllllly rewarding (: just keep at it!!💞
+lgbt kiwi I'll have to remember to put dates on it. Whenever I try I do it for the first few drawings then I forget to😂 But thanks. I try not to get discouraged when drawing
+Kianna Madden no problem !!😂💖 just keep in mind that everyone has their own style, so don't beat yourself up if your art doesn't look like anyone else's. ☺️
Looking at your art when you were 12/13, my self esteem goes up by a lot because to be honest my drawing level right now is about the same as you were at when you were my age, so I'm really happy seeing how much i can improve when i'm in my early twenties.
Sometimes, i say to myself Hey let's draw something. So i think of some cartoony stuff. For example castle crashers, then i draw in ps cs6 by the background of the cc character on 40 opacity and then i draw outlines then racing some detail, then coloring and stuff. You must choose something. Or it will be shit, just like for me i wanted to draw a cc character and boom! Total bulletin.
okay this has nothing to do with this video but I'm sitting in front of a window and I just got out of the bath maybe an hour ago and i was fiddling with my hair and i pulled out this tiny bug and I'm so grossed out I like ripped it in half just to make sure and I cant tell if it like came from the window or something
Baylee: "Ew this is ugly" Me: "Can i just like buy all you art and hang it in my room because i can't even draw stick figure correctly!!!!" XD and my name is Baylee too! :P
I looked at this about a year ago, and I thought some of those were amazing! (Like the one in the thumbnail) Now, I look at it and say, she has improved. one thing, you anatomy back then was amazing and it still is!
All I did was draw in highschool! Then for some reason I just stopped just started to pick it up again now that i'm 25 and I must say I regret stopping in the first place I had forgotten how much I enjoyed it. Love all your work it's so great you kept so much of all your older stuff mines all gone from all the moves I made it's all gradually gotten lost I'd love to have loads of things to look back over :)
Is it just me or is this making me want to get up go buy a crap load full of expensive art supply's and use like six hours to draw something that you'll be so proud of
+ZoeSpotsMLP Holy cow! Me too! XD I know beautiful art is created because of skill/experience (even if you have horrible supplies, seriously!) but i cannot help drooling over stuff like copic markers and all the stuff that apparently makes nice art :D It motivates me to own nice markers and paper.
+Abby Azrak Using reference is not the same as copying. Copying means you look at it and try to draw it the exact same. Using reference means seeing how something should look, then incorporating that into your art. Then tracing is tracing. They're all different terms.
Idk. I still wouldn't call it copying, just because it's still your own art and copying implies like... cheating, somehow? Plus usually, when I use a reference, I try to find something that's pretty much exactly what I want to draw, then 'copy' it. It's still my own art, though. I just see things differently, I guess.
+Baylee Jae I'm such a fan I have drawn everything that you have and mine look just as good don't let anyone bring you down your more amazing than you think and you are perfect just the way you are xxx
+Roxana Butnaru I did that to draw horses. I'm still not perfect at drawing them like I want to be. and plus I'm only 11 and... yeah... you can't succeed unless you try
+Abby Azrak When I first drew something, I traced it.I traced most of my drawings, but on my 6th (or 7th) I copied it. I'd call 'tracing' cheating but only if you can draw free-hand well. I learnt from tracing, so to me copying was like I knew how to draw but just wanted something draw.
This is so inspiring!! I was sick of my drawings and I almost wanted to give up but then I saw this video and I realised how much I can improve if I work harder!
OMG Your random doodles are better than me trying to draw a picture for four hours. I watched this video so many times before and I still can't believe how much better you are than me xD
I’ve seen a lot of comments saying, “she drew better than me when she was young” and I understand why they say that! Ur art WAS and still IS awesome! But these comments make me wonder, do they really try to draw, or do they never think of putting effort on themselves? In my mind when I read those kind of comments, I just think that if they had a lot of effort and spend time on their drawings they would be as good as u are, Baylee! Guys just think about why she is an amazing artist and spend more time with ur artwork!
Am I the only one who slowly started crying when she didn't use the rest of the sketching books? I usually use normal paper but when ever my parents do buy me a proper book I used every singing page, double sided, no space gets wasted
When i watch this i fell inspired Is like when your mid is like "Look at her drawing and look yours xD"I look at these and say look she started like you :D
That One Account don't get discouraged tho, you might not be able to draw anime (I'm horrible at anime :P) but you probably have a style and you haven't even realized it
Jessie Lowe she said it was random but she said she was like around 19 for the later ones or somewhere around 19 unless your talking about earlier but if you like drawing don't get discouraged we all learn at different paces and you will get better.
Props to you for being so brave to post this, the drawings you showed are actually really good but I know how it feels to look at older drawings from experience let alone posting them online! Like when I look at some of my drawings I just kind of have to cringe to be honest lol but you definitely earned another subscriber!!
Guys the mikasa drawing That was when she was in 11th grade you're about what 18? And probably she is 23-24 this year she was in 11th grade at 2008? So in the end its not mikasa guys xD my calculating is horrible so im not 100% sure xD It also does look like mikasa too

Here's my one problem, I always end up making the head too big for the body.
Have you tried getting into Chibi? 😉
baldrick Triffid Um....Yeah....I do both
me too the head
yeah it is a common problem
Chloe Patterson Even too im very good at drawing. I have to admit it's pretty common to make the head big.

Your either 18 or 19 now? Yeet
The anatomy she drew back then is still a lot better than mine
LOL sameee
Lmao samee
Chi ARMY! 🙌
army!
Chi ARMY
i do the same thing when the teacher says "ok so you can draw your project. .." IM LIKE YEEEEEEESS and go all out and make a comic
lol
Ikr, I always go all out like that when we can draw our projects
I did those... usually. If it's a comic that's like 10 pages long... I say no and go a level down.
my homework is always sketches when we can :-P
I know like the minute my teacher says Draw, My face lights up
:0 At 3:17 That SO looks like Simon and Marceline from Adventure Time!!!
Can anyone else see that?
I see it!
OMG YES!
Oh yea
That pic make me think of that
OMG YES DATS ONE OF MY FAVE EPOISOIDES SORRY IDK HOW TO SPELL IT SOMEONE CORRECT ME
Looking at your art when you were 12/13, my self esteem goes up by a lot because to be honest my drawing level right now is about the same as you were at when you were my age, so I'm really happy seeing how much i can improve when i'm in my early twenties.
Ikr. :D
You could improve but look at hellbenders for example. You don't need to be amazing at it just have enough passion for what you want to do.
Same
K.
my self esteem goes way up because my current drawing level is the srawing type she had when she was 18..or was it 19.....im 12....
I thought I was to only one who bought tons of sketch books and didn't even finish them. You were a really nice drawer by the way.
Thanks! Most of the sketchbooks I have now are gifts that I've received, and I get them faster than I can use them, haha!
Baylee Jae ;D
It's like when you get a new sketchbook you want to draw in it a lot, but after a couple of days you want a new one. Just me? XD
Chemical EnVy lol yes XD
XD Lolz
Is it just me, or does it take inspiration to draw sometimes?
Fart Sparkle Nope, I have to feel insipried to draw something or else it'll turn out terrible.
Tyler Masterson
interesting, thnx

Tyler Masterson Yeah me too.
Fart Sparkle I was inspired to draw, but I still can't >.>

glitterypinkblood ...

Was it really lice? Just curious, since you brought it up.

She keeps saying "copied" but she means she used a reference, right? Because I don't consider that copying, copying is more like tracing.

This was one of the first videos I saw of yours I've been watching ever since
OMG AMERICAN PSYCO REMINDS ME OF AMERICAN BEAUTY/AMERICAN PSYCO!!!!
6:51 that pic is AMAZING!!!!
It reminds me of Ladybug from Miraculous Ladybug because of her bluish-blackish hair plus the ladybug outfit.
+kawaiiforlife YES! It does remind me of Miraculous Ladybug.
+kawaiiforlife except her hair isn't bluish black
Her: "Eww this is bad. Wow this is ugly."
Me: Faints at every picture
I love how you don't throw away the destroyed copies! I love how you just shove it away with your other copies and such
OMG VAMPIRE KNIGHT. YES!!!! I ALREADY LOOKED UP TO YOU BUT NOW YOU ARE MY QUEEN!!
Oh my gosh.... The story of little mitten and cheek.... You were a dark child XD
OMG Your random doodles are better than me trying to draw a picture for four hours. I watched this video so many times before and I still can't believe how much better you are than me xD
"i didnt was into manga" *draws ton of manga/anime stuff* #legit
She was into the style.
I hate anime but i draw it ;-;
I CAME BACK AFTER 4 YEARS!! You and Mark Crilley were my inspiration when I was 11yrs old :D
I’ve seen a lot of comments saying, “she drew better than me when she was young” and I understand why they say that! Ur art WAS and still IS awesome! But these comments make me wonder, do they really try to draw, or do they never think of putting effort on themselves?
