    Does any one else have the problem where they think up a wonderful picture but can't describe or draw it correctly and are upset because they can't show people their thought of the art they want

      totally, i think a lot of times its better to just start drawing than to keep thinking about your idea and perfecting it in your head because it will almost never come out looking exactly how you envision it

      SkribbleZ Do your sketch with 100% opacity with the same colour you'll use for your outline, then once you're done decrease it to like 30% or smtn and start off with the outline. You'll immediately notice if you're on the right layer ;)

      keep trying, if you stop that means you think you will never improve, and you're slowly making that possibility inch towards being 100%, and you don't want that, if you want to get better, step out of your comfort zone, make yourself practice, cuz it was hard for me to decide that i'm trash at drawing and i need to practice

    • @wishtopublish
      @wishtopublish 5 лет назад +23

      A tip I have for that is to draw without having a clear image in your head. I like to watch art videos, or videos of people going though their sketchbook, or even videos of people talking with fun facial expressions, and then draw whats there. This doesn't necessarily help you get better at drawing whats in your head, but it helps you 1.) Get better, and 2.) Know your art style/strengths/limitations. And that will indirectly help you with drawing that mental image.

    The thing that bothers me the most when I'm drawing is when the paper crumples or bends when I'm erasing or trying to do other things and is is so annoying

    • @tehprotrollboi6472
      @tehprotrollboi6472 6 лет назад +11

      sketchbooks tend to have stronger paper, and try to erase in 1 direction, for example, put your hand at the bottom of the paper of the thing you're trying to erase is towards the top, then erase going from a bottom to top motion, that'll help you out a lot

    • @residentkane
      @residentkane 4 года назад

      I'd suggest erasing outward at the corners--if you do that--, and hold down the area where you're erasing so it's less likely to crumple.

    • @Dragonsoul420
      @Dragonsoul420 7 лет назад +27

      I think the point there was not to make your things look too similar when it comes to drawing the same stuff, like she was saying with giving every character the same pose and face. With the not drawing a bunch of different things, I do agree I think that was meant more if you're going for some sort of portfolio or identity as an artist (I just draw what I feel like and am not professional in any way, so that one's less applicable to me)

    • @wrenbd4015
      @wrenbd4015 7 лет назад +27

      no draw a bunch of things, her point was more in regards to what you post and show to other people in regards to what sort of artist you want to be to other people. its great to draw a lot and be very versatile! but know what makes you unique as an artist and use that to your advantage, your life style studies dont necessarily need to be in your portfolio

    I try to avoid the first issue but as a perfectionist it's really hard. I also always compare my art with others and set my standards too high for myself 😟 I used to take art lessons and my teacher was a wizard with watercolours. I had trouble with staying within the lines and the water control and seeing her work made me set my standards WAYYYY too high for myself. I do know my problems but I can't seem to fix them.

      Christi Don't worry, your perfectionist habits may have some downsides, but I think you'll grow out of it. Every professional was a beginner at first. But NEVER compare your art to others. Its very bad and will damage your confidence. Just keep in mind that other people who have really good art have practiced for years and years, so if you can keep on practicing, you will one day be as good as them.

Looking back once you've developed your style, you'll be able to notice when it started showing up! It's a really cool feeling :3

Sketching it out can really help the final piece as a whole and you can know where everything will be executed and what problems it has. Also, with a quick sketch, it doesn’t take that much time. Of course, that’s with only one drawing. Hope that kinda helped :)

But once i finish it, i kind of ‘ruin’ it by touching it up and outlining it. But all that i can think is that even if nobody else likes it, as long as you tried and you could picture what you were trying to draw it’s a good picture. Sure the actual drawing isn’t always the best, but from practicing drawing that same picture, maybe you’ll be able to draw it the way you picture it.

      Also don't draw only in that style when you find it,continue to experiment with new ways of drawing or try replicating the style of an artist you like just to try it.But be sure to say it's inspired by that artist.

    • @tehprotrollboi6472
      @tehprotrollboi6472 6 лет назад +3

      well then don't do detail, the first steps are simplistic, practice circles, perspective cubes "no need for shading", squares, trinagles, also ellipses are very useful in drawing, practice them too, try doing straight lines parallel to each other, make a dot from 1 place to another and try to make a line that goes straight and touches both points at least with some visual que of precision, and a small message to Chioma Egu, motivational sentences should have some advice, just take it from this wonderful man called me

    Oh god, perfectionism and drawing the same thing. That's just me. I tend to have a specific standard I hold my art to, and if the first sketch/lineart (sometimes i don't need a sketch) sucks then I'll erase it and start from the begining. Now to be fair, it sometimes actually works to create stuff I'm satisfied with but still. I really need to stop. It sort of goes hand in hand with drawing the same thing. I gotta start drawing people in better poses or backgrounds or people and backgrounds or something because it's starting to get a bit boring to be honest. I'm looking into thinking of more creative/daring stuff right after this video. But yes thank u uwu

    Perfectionism was the killer of my art. I got so insecure with my artwork that I actually got depressed or anxiety when I went to draw. That was back when I was 13. I'm 20 now and barely started drawing again, and I'm applying for an art school next spring. Perfectionism was my biggest issue and I'm so glad that it doesn't seem to bother me as much anymore. It feels good to draw again.

      I wouldn't say that is a good habit because sometimes you can look at better artists for inspiration. But I will say that you should NEVER compare yourself to a better artist. If you practice enough, you will be as good as them, and maybe even better! Everybody can draw well if they just practice.
