4 Key Benefits of Drawing Everyday

[@wcen5616]

Things I’ve noticed by drawing almost everyday:
- Builds up my ability to focus andconcentrate for long periods
- Meditative
- Obsessive (sometimes)
- Gradually improving my style
- Satisfying

[@goudvisbloem]

Same!
Focusing gets easier, I personally get better at estimating in advance what will have a nice end result and what doesn't.
New habits take discipline, until they're habitual but after that it's addictive.
I also agree with the comfort about making paintings (in my case) that are not as good.

[@SchaeferArt]

Thanks for sharing! These are awesome. I've noticed all of these as well too. Especially the meditative and sometimes obsessive part. Very very true. Thank you for your thoughts. Happy drawing! :)

[@viserpentine9741]

You could have a podcast about art and I totally tune in!!

[@royghosn18]

I’d tune in too

[@SchaeferArt]

Yeah I've thought about it honestly, just need to actually do it haha.

[@SchaeferArt]

Thank you :)

[@andreeaalexandrapopescu5807]

Lovely idea!

[@tatyanavasilyeva3994]

I've been drawing in my sketchbook every day for the past few months and it's been fun because my goal was to just complete one page a day. I didn't stress about whether a drawing would turn out good or bad, as long as I finished that one page. 80% of the time I was really happy with what I made. And yesterday I finally finished my very first sketchbook, which was really exciting. I've drawn more in the past few months than I have in my entire life. My skills have definitely improved and it has become a habit to the point where I get slightly agitated if I don't draw on a day.
Also, random but I really like your hands. They'd be a great reference 😂

[@Magsupyourmind]

I'm drawing every day for 697 days now. And I do experience all these things. I also experience more mental strength. Every day I create something and it makes me really proud of myself.

Hey question
I saw one of your how to draw videos years ago
Does it also work for left handed people

[@SchaeferArt]

@@manuelmigueltulod8782 I'm not left-handed so I'm not 100% sure but I don't think it would be much different. Just use your left hand.

I think my maths teacher saw this video, because he makes his lectures so boring that I end up scribbling Mona Lisa on my notebook. Such a nice teacher. Always thinking of his students.

[@SchaeferArt]

Haha I used to do the same thing in school, drawing on papers they handed out, etc.

[@andreeaalexandrapopescu5807]

Your youtube channel made me enjoy the act of drawing again, i have times when i feel like giving up because im not satisfied with the final draw and tell myself "maybe drawing just isnt for me" but after watching this video i feel like trying this "draw everyday thing'. Thank you so much for being here:) We appreciate you

[@stever7061]

Does this apply to me as well,..an artist of 50+ yrs who has been in a very long funk and can't get out of it. Everywhere I look and all of the people I follow here on RUclips has tons of inspiration. I just can't get out of my funk. I hear all of the things your saying, ugh. Sorry for that. I know,sounds like I'm making excuses. I will watch this over and over again. Ty for this great info.👍🙏😁👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@FanofDrawing]

Hey Schafer you talk about some true facts i try to draw everyday and i see some improvements while i draw something and when i some improvement i feel satisfy Thanks for the video
Stay peacefull and healthy

[@SchaeferArt]

Glad to hear that! Thanks for the comments and same back to you, take care :)

[@rizot0ny1996]

You wanna what’s funny? I’m 24 at age 8 I started drawing and all throw middle school and high school I quit after high school I just recently graduated college, and today some stranger gave me a huge sketch pad and pencils cause she didn’t need them. And I started drawing again, I just opened RUclips and this was the first video. It’s a sign? Or what do you think

This video completely addressed a comment I posted yesterday. This is perfect for me right now. You are right! Some of these I'm saving to watch repeatedly. Thank you. One of my favoite books, and what just recently brought me back to art again was pulling out my book, The ZEN of Seeing / Drawing by Frederick Franck. It led me to believing I could still draw, for a different purpose than to make something "good" so it took the pressure off. After a month of this free-style practice, I felt guided to RUclips and saw your channel.

[@SchaeferArt]

So glad to hear that. That book sounds so familiar so I Google searched it.. I have never read it but I did have one of his other books called the Awakened Eye. So cool! I'm glad it led you back to drawing and expressing yourself. Hope you are enjoying the process.

[@kellysartthrob]

ITA about how it helps your whole life, building ability to improve all aspects of your life. I think drawing improves higher executive functioning. It does for me!

[@ajwain-89]

Schaefer, you've always been their to provide us with your advice and tips. I just wanted to say thank you for that, and I hope that you know how much you mean to us. As we expand on our artist skills we come to the realization that art is what you make and the way you do it, and that perfection isn't what you should be striding for. Thank you for teaching us that lesson.
(I sound weird saying that because I haven't really been watching your videos, not on this account anyways, but I really do mean everything I just said C:)

[@SchaeferArt]

Thanks for your comment and thoughts, really awesome to hear this. Glad you understand what I'm always trying to get across in my videos. You summed it up perfectly! :)

First thing I thought was "I don't have time for that" lol..
Next thing I realized was that I am actually drawing/painting every. single. day, even though I do not complete the same one in a day!
Yes. I am a super patient person and I know why... I've been drawing and painting my whole entire life as a hobby.
Thanks for sharing your insights. Enjoyed fully.

[@ahedjehad8514]

i try to draw every day, but i have 2 giant problems: 1: while i do improve, since i have improved my anatomy skills, i improve at such a slow rate, it's like i'm not improving at all. i'm not happy with how slowly i'm improving. 2: i have a tendency to compare my stuff to other much greater artists and i think: "oh, i can never reach that level" or "i could practice until the end of time, and i'll never be that good." or something similar. i try and not think of comparing my stuff in a bad way like that, but it happens.

[@SchaeferArt]

We all struggle with these 2 things, no doubt. Only thing I can say is to get rid of all your expectations and just enjoy the process of drawing. If you're improving, even slowly (you feel), it's still better than no improvements. And for comparing to other great artists - welcome to the club haha. But really, you just gotta compare yourself to your past self - not to others. We are all at different levels and different places in the journey. Just try to have fun and enjoy everything you do with it. Don't worry about all the other nonsense.

[@ahedjehad8514]

@@SchaeferArt i do actually compare my recent stuff to my older works, and that is one way of how i see that i have improved. i still need to work on my attitude towards this thing. i also am not sure on how to practice. yes, i have books, but i have been told that the books i have are more for people who already know how to draw those things. and i have tried tutorials on youtube and on other websites and most of the time, it's just confusing for me. i don't know how to work on my stuff other than to just draw. so, any help on that aspect would be greatley appreciated. :)

[@SchaeferArt]

Ah I see, what kind of things are you interested in drawing? Do you have certain subjects you like to draw like portraits, landscapes or animals, figures, etc..? or Are you still trying to figure it out?

[@ahedjehad8514]

@@SchaeferArt i have an interest in manga, and i mostly, if not often or almost all the time, draw people. like i have said earlier, i have noticed an improvement in anatomy, but i still need to practice proportions, since most of the times, i tend to draw characters with one arm longer than the other. :P i also have a very tough time drawing hair and hands. :) mostly hair, though. :)
