@@joshyboi2q622 if I'm drawing to learn something new I draw the stuff I like. If I'm trying to improve poses I'll draw fantasy fighting scenes because I love the genre and it keeps me entertained.
Could you please do a video on the resources you used to study perspective and anatomy? I understand in order to improve you obviously need to practice but I don't really know HOW to practice if you get what I mean. What websites or books did you use? What methods did you use in your practicing? It would be really helpful if you could do a video on this. Thank you.
Thing is Kuzo never looked at any books or anything like Loomis or Bridgman which is why I love him so much. He pretty much just studied the human body and different poses until he got the hang of it. Hes said before that he never looked at books or anything
I'd also like to add, it's never too late to improve. I've always been interested in drawing, and I've always enjoyed it. But it wasn't until recently I began to take it seriously, and the rate which I'm improving is insane to me. I'm 32 years old, and the only thing I regret is not putting in the time earlier. But now the journey has begun in earnest, and I couldn't be more excited!
@@deusvult9461 hey, i know how you feel. I experience that on a daily basis. You just have to power through it. I practice circles everyday for almost a month now. Its not good but its better than it was before. I read a tip somewhere in youtube comments too and if it helps me, it might help you too! It goes something like this: keep drawing a circle and after a few start to lightly draw it and keep going until ur happy with it. (Let me find the exact words he used cause my english is bax.)

35 years old here and is starting drawing again too! Never too late to learn they said and hence I am starting to get serious about drawing again. Same regret as well, wished that I could start earlier, unfortunately technology wasn't as advanced 10 years back and online classes and socia media wasn't that big at that time. My country isn't art focused enough and hence I ended up working in a bank. Didn't really like my current career direction, even though it does pay well.

i actually really loved this because some of the sketchbook "tour" i see is mostly good drawings, but yours really shows your progress and how much you've developed and improved, so much respect man. love your stuff
see i wanna learn perspective but i cannot fins anything helpful on the internet, like it’s all about buildings nothing about the head, body and poses which is what i’m trying to learn first.
Idk if this will be helpful but I usually study perspective in shapes so like cylinders or cubes and then use them on my figures mind I still don’t know how to draw people sitting but I usually use this with like arms and the torso. Talarts ( on utube) does a video on torsos being like a pillow so I use that shape and the help of perspective lines to help
I use Japanese pose books, their called “ real action pose collection”. Their great for learning the human figure in perspective and they are the type of books mangakas use. I highly recommend them. 😄

For a while now I've felt like I had hit my limit, I thought what i was doing was the best I could do and ever will do. I hit that block during my 3rd year of high school (I'm from NZ so we have 5 yrs of HS) I'm now 18 and on my 5th and final year and I've regressed back to tracing, just to make myself feel more confident but as soon as I finish I don't feel like I've progressed at all. This video helped me a ton with what I should work on and what I really wanna do, which is start all the back at square one. Btw art and design class here teach me nothing about what I need to make my stuff better. THANKS A BUNCH.
This is what I needed. I’m starting from scratch and everyone says start with perspective so now I moved on to drawing the body but unlike most people I have no experience drawing the body so I’m trying to learn it while remembering my perspective, but don’t even have my gestures down and I was getting frustrated and stopped for the day. Seeing your thousands of drawing where you just pushed through makes it clear that I just have to get em done regardless of the frustration. I can’t expect to get anywhere to a professional level if I quite on day 5. I’m going to look up some sketch book strategies now.
I’d recommend checking out Ethan Becker’s channel if you haven’t already heard of him. I really like his video “fixing Marco buccis disgusting art with lemons” and “never draw with ovals” (I think those are the titles, btw the hate is just jokes lol) He really shows how you can simplify the body into simple and easier to understand forms. You’ll still need anatomy and figure drawing but i think it’s still super helpful! I’m practicing it now, and I’ve had so many “wow, I get it knoww” moments, and those feel good :). Just wanted to put it out there if you hadn’t heard of him. Keep up the good work!
Thank you for inspiring me to be okay with going back to the basics and starting over. Alot of the time it feels like everyone is ahead and better, but seeing you show that it’s okay to step back in order to move forward makes me feel so much better. I wanna be an animator/ illustrator, and watching your videos lately and getting myself to train and practice makes it feel like that dream is possible. I DONT MEAN TO GET ALL ANNOYING AND SAPPY I’m just incredibly grateful and im sure other peeps feel the same. Thank you🤩✨
Kevin Rutledge same here my guy. I can’t help but compare my experience to others while I’m here struggling and finally just making it pass the hurdle everybody else is already 5 hurdles passed me.
I genuinely saw this progression real time 😂. It was great seeing it since I’ve been watching for 4 years now and have always been inspired to draw after watching a video
I tried starting with drawing people but then gave up on that and went back to the basics so i tried environment like rocks, trees, roots, mountains, sea creatures, skulls. And so began my rapid improvement and I kid you not I was 10× better in just 6 months. Now I'm slowly work my way up from sea creatures like whales, dolphins, and sharks to maybe more fishes because those feckers are hard to draw. I hope to then get to animals and the final climb can be drawing people.
I don’t really ever come here for help, but I love your commentary. Hard to find good background noise when I’m drawing here, and yours is amazing. Keep it up, man!
I personally am really struggling with anatomy, i dont know how to "Practice" it, and i'm really bad at sketching a full body, i legit give up when i get to the legs cause the body proportions are off.
For me the best way so far is doing gesture drawings of 1m, 5m and 10 m, study some anatomy from proko videos, like the arms , then get reference photos of arms ( real people, studying anatomy using anime or another stylized drawing just going to lead to bad habits ) and breakdown the muscles you see, after this you try to draw thinking of the muscles but showing what you think it matters.
Serious question. Have you tried starting from the legs? Maybe a change of pace could help you. Also what I usually do is block in rough shapes and sizes after I find the pose I am going for (so I have a rough idea of proportions at that point). Hopefully this helps & GL!
Instead of looking at it as each individual bone, muscle ,skin look at it as a certain chunk. For example, biceps. You don’t need to learn every muscle but instead learn how it contorts and the general shape. Idk if this will make any sense but hope it helps!
Omygosh, I'm so thankful this popped up into my recommendations. I think I'm gonna cry. Thank you very much, I've just literally started drawing for 2 days now, because I feel like I want to draw my own manga even once in my life. so very thankful for this inspirational video
BOOOOOIIIIIII that was hella inspirering! i wanna try it too, at least for a week to know how it feels to grind on that anatomie stuff and so on. for the last 2 years i drew regulary but almost never realy tried to learn things like anatomie or perspective. when i see your transformation via your skecth books, i get motivated to do aswell! THANK YOU!!!!!!!
@@ghboi5250 Sign... Does it matter ? As long as you know the function, gesture, shape, volume of the muscles you could call it Orange or Banana and it would still be alright. Focus your energy in learning instead
I'm saying really study it you will benefit a lot just study copy repeat I'm drawing for last 2 years I've really improved my skill learn fundamentals happy drawinh
i’ve started drawing seriously since 4years ago. I have improved very little I don’t see drawing as fun anymore.. after seeing this video it really inspired me to try harder with my art and practice more perspective. your art blows my mind the progression. you reaaallly are awesome! thank you so much for posting this video!
Could you please reply, 12:55 are these drawings being done from imagination.. or through reference. Also, you didn't mention anywhere like from where you started doing it through by yourself and not looking at anything !! But all in all, your artworks than with the way you practiced are superb, best wishes for all good going :)
Just wanted to let you know. You are one of my inspirations. I felt stuck with my art. And literally this was the video I needed to push me. I am really thankful for this❤❤
Me to!!!! Always seemed like this mountain of a task to me but seeing Kuzo I see that I shouldn’t be looking every direction at once just start with the basics, form and perspective and then look toward the more advanced techniques, the 2 week rule gonna come in clutch 👌
@@siyabongamokwena6255 they best thing about this video was 2 week rule. 2 week is neither that long Of time nor any short time. I think I will really improve If I followed it
I have already started the two weeks challenge and today was the third day. I know I am not seeing much of progress instantly but every time I watch this video. It just keeps me going.
YEEESSS SO GLAD YOU POSTED THIS! I love your new thumbnails and Happy Fourth of July! So glad you posted this video it helps us understand you so much. Hopefully youll post the pages on patreon!
Ive recently started doing a ton of perspective since maybe 4 months ago and my art has improved more than it ever has in the many many years I've been drawing. This guy knows what hes talking about.
Perspective really changes ur art, it surprised me how much it improves the quality and boosts your confidence. Its pretty daunting to take head on, you'll definitely get burnt out on it.. But if you power through you'll see a difference over time, nothing will get 20x better after 2h of studies/drawing.
I've seen a few Nux Taku videos and I clicked on this thinking it was one then I realized you're the artist that draws for Nux Taku. I still watched because I love art.
I need this thank you, I'm on the verge of quiting drawing cause I think I'm not good enough..but seeing all you're hard work just show I'm no where there yet and being afraid at making mistake are not an excuse to quit.
wow i watched the whole thing. this is really motivating. i am on your 2016 level or something. i am struggling with anatomy and perspective. i readed a book about perspective i think i know how this is working but i cant really put any human form or shape into this so i stuck all time drawing poses, hands, foots . cant really draw a human from memory but i get good enought co copy from what i see but this isnt what i want to do so i keep drawing anatomy i hope i get better.
can you go over which drills/things you practiced or recommend practicing? I've been struggling with this too but I dont know what to actually practice, if that makes sense? I started with cubes and cylinders but I'm not sure what to do from there.... ps the crop on the camera made it really hard to see TAT thank you so much for making these videos! I really appreciate you.
ughhhh man I wish I had the motivation to try that hard lol. Sure I want my art to glo up but I just don't have the energy to look up all these references and tutorials and read up on all the technicalities.. theres just too much to think of.. these days I just don't draw at all anymore. It ain't fun. Sigh
Me up to 13:40: "Wow these sketches are just sooo good I hope to be this good someday. Me at 13:41: "Ah. It's impossible. It's not meant to be for me."
This is good advice. I’m currently in a bit of an art block and am having a hard time drawing anything I’m content with... just focusing on the fundamentals and doing studies is a great way to keep creating and get those creative juices flowing.
Been stuck with my unprogressive art for soooo long before I finally decided to study art, like actually sit down and study it. I'm happy to say how proud I am of the progress between the beginning and the end of my sketchbook! It's been slow (and difficult) since I am really trying to hammer down the basics of depth and perspective, but also its been really fun? I've never drawn so much in my life! Your videos have given me heaps of motivation I could have never done without. Thank you so much for all the crazy inspiration!
Please make a video on resources and books you used to learn all the stuff. It would be really helpful, or at least put it in comment section of the video. Thx.
i had no motivation to draw for quite awhile now but after i discovered ur channel, drawing has been super fun. i love your videos and they inspire me a lot :))
Thats funny how as soon as you said fundamentals I knew it was ellipse drawings cause those are so important and did the same for me literally expanded my art mind.
I loved this, is so genuine about what a sketchbook really is, and how a person should practice. It's a lot like the process I'm currently on. I made a drawing, examined what was good and what I needed to work on, and then started studying fundamentals, a topic a time, always practicing again what I've learned and still learning. Your progress is really inspiring for someone like me who has a couple of months in this.
I feel like I need to do this now Imma relearn everything I tackle it like this, this was really inspiring, the journey to find my art style just keeps getting tougher and tougher, I like a challenge.
Thanks for the inspiration dude. I am a new at art stuff still learning . And I was feeling down on a drawing I did and from the words you just told . Made me realize I need to get better as fast as possible . Thanks.
I just watched this video and I’m in the process of starting over and learning the fundamentals and I just wanna say this really inspired me to keep going thanks.
I think I can help you with that. basically how i did it (I am at a level where I can use boxes / cylinders to pose characters in perspective) is by watching moderndayjames' videos on perspective, and using drawabox . com to practice making perspective intuitive. it took me a few months, but the progress is really tangible, and I don't regret it one bit.
Thanks, I started watching modern day james after you recommended it. I'm still stuck on the second video, still though, you've made the path much clearer.
@@wiredpenha3091 As someone who's been stuck for years feeling mediocre and constantly losing motivation because of my lack of basic, technical drawing skills, this helps immensely. Thank you!
Thanks!, all these stuffs remind me why I love drawing❤.. I hope maybe around 2 years or more from now, I can reach my full potential and able to build my own unique style ❤❤
Thank you for this video, i felt like i hit a roadblock myself, while i can tell my art is improving and i get friends praising my art, it felt like i constantly was lacking because i could never get the fundamentals of art sorted out, this video might just be enough to give me a push to take this stuff more seriously! ALSO seeing the drawing of tanya motivated me twice as much!
Not to take anything away from Chris, 'cause his improvement is amazing and skills are absolutely astonishing, but in two years of constant drawing, most people would see significant improvement in their skill. I guess this is just my way of admiting to myself that the main thing you need is time and patience, cause that's the whole thing with art. It took me close to three years, from 14 to 17, to see some significant improvement, and I still have so much more to learn. And now I'm even more inspired to practice. So in the end, I want to say 'Thank you, Chris!', for giving me the push I needed to start doing my best and beyond that! Damn, really needed to get that of my chest!
Ever time I watch a Kuzomari video it makes want to stop passively sketching every now & then to absolutely grind absolute shit out everything I know to it’s maximum potential.
Holy moly that's a lot of drawings :D I recently decided to just choose a character each month and practice drawing it. My 1st one is a male, humanoid character so I'm drawing a bunch of poses, practicing heads, practicing the proportions of the body. Practicing the features that make the character who he is. I'm feeling so bad about some of my more shittier sketches but at least I'm drawing. Reading about all the fundamentals and reading how you're supposed to draw does nothing unless you actually DRAW.
Your style on sketchbook look AWESOME. And that look how you learn everything. It the same thing I learn about drawing channel from this channel. My animation character drawing channel learn so much from your channel. Thanks for inspired me on drawing and channel. Iam your big fans🙂👍👍
Thanks @kuzomari for sharing this. Since lockdown in my country, I've been trying to get back to practicing my drawing. Ever since I've stumbled onto your channel, your vids have been a real inspiration for me. Now I'm looking to fill up my sketchbook as well!
From now on, I swear my art will be just as good as yours one day. I have now chosen the official art style I want, you inspire me so much! I hope one day you can see my art in a gallery just so I could come up to you to tell you your my idol
Thank you for making this video🙏 I have found myself losing my passion for drawing and I just want to get back into it and become better. This really gave me an idea of what I should do.
This is the first video I have ever watched on your channel and I have to say wow! The transformation from your first sketchbook to the last one is actually very impressive! You should be extremely proud of yourself because you really came far from where you started! Keep working hard man and I subscribed to your channel so I can see how far you go with your art! PROPS!
If you struggle with anatomy, use shapes, it helps a lot and also plan your pose before starting or else you’ll immediately fall into your comfort zone
I always wanted to pick up art, but I just don't have the patience. I have an image in my head but my skill level just isn't near that image and it makes me just YEET the book. Respect to everyone who pushes through that and actually does progress.
Cool video Kuzomari! I can’t wait for your next video. 😎👍🏾 I like your sketches and drawings, they are really good and I like learning new skills from you and other artists on RUclips.
This was inspiring for me, I'm in a bad mood with my drawings lately, I'm trying to pull off anatomy, but I always do something wrong and feel sad about the result like if I where losing my time, but seeing your progress through those sketche books is inspiring and good to see.
So I'm taking for granted all of what I learnt in perspective during college studying "landscape architecture" just because I thought It'd be better if I studied "fine-arts" instead. Wow.
crazyyyy! Such a beautiful process and growth! I did the same thing study perspective, anatomy, etc. in pen rough drawings. Then when I finally wanted to test my growth the feel was true rewarding. I swear I was jumping around with joy bro ahah. Thank you for sharing Kuzo
Bro! This is soo cooool! Back then in 2018, I was thinking of practicing fundamentals but at that time it just doesn't feel great. Like I keep on brushing off the thought. Now, I regret that I didn't do it hahaha. So for next month I want to dedicated a lot of time, practicing fundamentals and perspective. Thanks for this video!
this video is so very important to me because i'm learning to drawing now and you progression em 2 years is so much inspiring to me... thanks for opening my mind and showing your timeline of the drawings more one sub and like
I need to do this with perspective, I rely on 3D programs and images to help me with perspective. And your improvement was really fast, thanks for sharing your progress with us.
Sycra calls this "iterative practice." Works in writing too. It's basically that rote, "Do it again, again, again" that we all were told was the way to accomplishment when we were 10 years old, and which we also immediately dismissed as a waste of time when we were 10 years old.

I tried starting with drawing people but then gave up on that and went back to the basics so i tried environment like rocks, trees, roots, mountains, sea creatures, skulls. And so began my rapid improvement and I kid you not I was 10× better in just 6 months. Now I'm slowly work my way up from sea creatures like whales, dolphins, and sharks to maybe more fishes because those feckers are hard to draw. I hope to then get to animals and the final climb can be drawing people.
These things r all totally different things, it's not an incremental thing of animals to ppl. Study ppl at the same time- dont put it off basically
That is still an amazing skill, most people only draw people - this knowledge surely will help for a great opportunity in the future! 😁
Yeah, I improved by like a factor of 10 by drawing environment and animals, then i went back to drawing people and i'm stuck
I don’t really ever come here for help, but I love your commentary. Hard to find good background noise when I’m drawing here, and yours is amazing. Keep it up, man!
13:37 i see you're a man of culture as well
My respect went from admirable to religion
This man is not mortal anymore
I personally am really struggling with anatomy, i dont know how to "Practice" it, and i'm really bad at sketching a full body, i legit give up when i get to the legs cause the body proportions are off.
I understand you :(
Legs have also been a pet peeve of mine. Personally I found copying/studying real life examples helped me exponentially.
For me the best way so far is doing gesture drawings of 1m, 5m and 10 m, study some anatomy from proko videos, like the arms , then get reference photos of arms ( real people, studying anatomy using anime or another stylized drawing just going to lead to bad habits ) and breakdown the muscles you see, after this you try to draw thinking of the muscles but showing what you think it matters.
Serious question. Have you tried starting from the legs? Maybe a change of pace could help you. Also what I usually do is block in rough shapes and sizes after I find the pose I am going for (so I have a rough idea of proportions at that point). Hopefully this helps & GL!
Instead of looking at it as each individual bone, muscle ,skin look at it as a certain chunk. For example, biceps. You don’t need to learn every muscle but instead learn how it contorts and the general shape. Idk if this will make any sense but hope it helps!
I need that Eiffel Tower Sketchbook in my life 😳
Is it for that booty? 😳
Yeah i think so😳
Me too 😳
Oh wow 😳
Lel 😏
Omygosh, I'm so thankful this popped up into my recommendations. I think I'm gonna cry.
Thank you very much, I've just literally started drawing for 2 days now, because I feel like I want to draw my own manga even once in my life. so very thankful for this inspirational video
I liked that there's also someone like me who study at drawing in the same way ♥️
BOOOOOIIIIIII
that was hella inspirering!
i wanna try it too, at least for a week to know how it feels to grind on that anatomie stuff and so on.
for the last 2 years i drew regulary but almost never realy tried to learn things like anatomie or perspective.
when i see your transformation via your skecth books, i get motivated to do aswell!
THANK YOU!!!!!!!
So sorry to be the grammar police but its anatomy or am i getting r/wooshed
@@ghboi5250
Sign... Does it matter ?
As long as you know the function, gesture, shape, volume of the muscles you could call it Orange or Banana and it would still be alright.
Focus your energy in learning instead
im with u buddy i wanna do it too :DDD
I'm saying really study it you will benefit a lot just study copy repeat I'm drawing for last 2 years I've really improved my skill
learn fundamentals happy drawinh
Ehre!
12:48
OMG TANYA ON THE LEFT
Ahhh lets gooooo
i’ve started drawing seriously since 4years ago. I have improved very little I don’t see drawing as fun anymore.. after seeing this video it really inspired me to try harder with my art and practice more perspective. your art blows my mind the progression. you reaaallly are awesome! thank you so much for posting this video!
Could you please reply, 12:55 are these drawings being done from imagination.. or through reference. Also, you didn't mention anywhere like from where you started doing it through by yourself and not looking at anything !!
But all in all, your artworks than with the way you practiced are superb, best wishes for all good going :)
Just wanted to let you know. You are one of my inspirations. I felt stuck with my art. And literally this was the video I needed to push me. I am really thankful for this❤❤
Me to!!!! Always seemed like this mountain of a task to me but seeing Kuzo I see that I shouldn’t be looking every direction at once just start with the basics, form and perspective and then look toward the more advanced techniques, the 2 week rule gonna come in clutch 👌
@@siyabongamokwena6255 they best thing about this video was 2 week rule. 2 week is neither that long Of time nor any short time. I think I will really improve If I followed it
I have already started the two weeks challenge and today was the third day. I know I am not seeing much of progress instantly but every time I watch this video. It just keeps me going.
YEEESSS SO GLAD YOU POSTED THIS! I love your new thumbnails and Happy Fourth of July! So glad you posted this video it helps us understand you so much. Hopefully youll post the pages on patreon!
Ive recently started doing a ton of perspective since maybe 4 months ago and my art has improved more than it ever has in the many many years I've been drawing. This guy knows what hes talking about.
Perspective really changes ur art, it surprised me how much it improves the quality and boosts your confidence. Its pretty daunting to take head on, you'll definitely get burnt out on it.. But if you power through you'll see a difference over time, nothing will get 20x better after 2h of studies/drawing.
once I started listening to ur advise on learning perspective and acc learning it ( still am ) my figures took a leap
Hey, how did you go about it? Trying to learn it myself but having kinda of a problem with where to start.
I've seen a few Nux Taku videos and I clicked on this thinking it was one then I realized you're the artist that draws for Nux Taku. I still watched because I love art.
I need this thank you, I'm on the verge of quiting drawing cause I think I'm not good enough..but seeing all you're hard work just show I'm no where there yet and being afraid at making mistake are not an excuse to quit.
man you gave me some motivation i think i still suck at art but idk hearing you talk about your struggel made it easier so thank you man
wow i watched the whole thing. this is really motivating. i am on your 2016 level or something. i am struggling with anatomy and perspective. i readed a book about perspective i think i know how this is working but i cant really put any human form or shape into this so i stuck all time drawing poses, hands, foots . cant really draw a human from memory but i get good enought co copy from what i see but this isnt what i want to do so i keep drawing anatomy i hope i get better.
can you go over which drills/things you practiced or recommend practicing?
I've been struggling with this too but I dont know what to actually practice, if that makes sense? I started with cubes and cylinders but I'm not sure what to do from there.... ps the crop on the camera made it really hard to see TAT
thank you so much for making these videos! I really appreciate you.
For me this video you made is a jaw dropping especially you art progress and because of that I respect you.
ughhhh man I wish I had the motivation to try that hard lol. Sure I want my art to glo up but I just don't have the energy to look up all these references and tutorials and read up on all the technicalities.. theres just too much to think of.. these days I just don't draw at all anymore. It ain't fun. Sigh
Me up to 13:40: "Wow these sketches are just sooo good I hope to be this good someday.
Me at 13:41: "Ah. It's impossible. It's not meant to be for me."
You have no idea how much you inspire me to keep on drawing even though I see little improvement
Thank you so so much, for real
This is good advice. I’m currently in a bit of an art block and am having a hard time drawing anything I’m content with... just focusing on the fundamentals and doing studies is a great way to keep creating and get those creative juices flowing.
thank u so much I was giving up on drawing since I felt so bad about how it looked but you’ve inspired me to start again
Been stuck with my unprogressive art for soooo long before I finally decided to study art, like actually sit down and study it. I'm happy to say how proud I am of the progress between the beginning and the end of my sketchbook! It's been slow (and difficult) since I am really trying to hammer down the basics of depth and perspective, but also its been really fun? I've never drawn so much in my life! Your videos have given me heaps of motivation I could have never done without. Thank you so much for all the crazy inspiration!
Kuzo, u don't know how thankful I am..like u inspire me so much to get better and never stop getting better.
Whenever Im feeling low I come here and I suddenly feel super motivated to practise! Thank u kuzo!!
Please make a video on resources and books you used to learn all the stuff. It would be really helpful, or at least put it in comment section of the video.
Thx.
He didn't use any book
Thank you for making a video on these sketchbooks 😁 I appreciate it
i had no motivation to draw for quite awhile now but after i discovered ur channel, drawing has been super fun. i love your videos and they inspire me a lot :))
Thats funny how as soon as you said fundamentals I knew it was ellipse drawings cause those are so important and did the same for me literally expanded my art mind.
I loved this, is so genuine about what a sketchbook really is, and how a person should practice. It's a lot like the process I'm currently on. I made a drawing, examined what was good and what I needed to work on, and then started studying fundamentals, a topic a time, always practicing again what I've learned and still learning.
Your progress is really inspiring for someone like me who has a couple of months in this.
Of all talents, drawing is what I envy more.
practice lol
I feel like I need to do this now Imma relearn everything I tackle it like this, this was really inspiring, the journey to find my art style just keeps getting tougher and tougher, I like a challenge.
Man this is giving me so much inspiration on my drawing thanks you. I love your videos
Thanks for the inspiration dude. I am a new at art stuff still learning . And I was feeling down on a drawing I did and from the words you just told . Made me realize I need to get better as fast as possible . Thanks.
I'm actually in the processed of re-learning how to draw and seeing your improvements really helps me get into it, keep up the great work!
Same re learning how to draw
I just watched this video and I’m in the process of starting over and learning the fundamentals and I just wanna say this really inspired me to keep going thanks.
Thanks for being a dose of inspiration at times
The fun of doing is what keeps driving an artist further
I know I need to practice this, I just wish I could find out how to practice this
I think I can help you with that. basically how i did it (I am at a level where I can use boxes / cylinders to pose characters in perspective) is by watching moderndayjames' videos on perspective, and using drawabox . com to practice making perspective intuitive. it took me a few months, but the progress is really tangible, and I don't regret it one bit.
Thanks, I started watching modern day james after you recommended it. I'm still stuck on the second video, still though, you've made the path much clearer.
Go to drawabox, progress until you reach the animal construction lessons. After that go to proko
Right bc I’m lazy and this jus make feel overwhelmingly inspired that I don’t kno what to do with myself
@@wiredpenha3091 As someone who's been stuck for years feeling mediocre and constantly losing motivation because of my lack of basic, technical drawing skills, this helps immensely. Thank you!
This was inspiring to hit the books harder and more consistently!!
while watching this I felt so motivated
Thanks!, all these stuffs remind me why I love drawing❤.. I hope maybe around 2 years or more from now, I can reach my full potential and able to build my own unique style ❤❤
This motivated me to start drawing again and actually lern more abt perspective
Thank you for this video, i felt like i hit a roadblock myself, while i can tell my art is improving and i get friends praising my art, it felt like i constantly was lacking because i could never get the fundamentals of art sorted out, this video might just be enough to give me a push to take this stuff more seriously! ALSO seeing the drawing of tanya motivated me twice as much!
I love this it really shows what it takes to improve. lots of grit
Not to take anything away from Chris, 'cause his improvement is amazing and skills are absolutely astonishing, but in two years of constant drawing, most people would see significant improvement in their skill. I guess this is just my way of admiting to myself that the main thing you need is time and patience, cause that's the whole thing with art. It took me close to three years, from 14 to 17, to see some significant improvement, and I still have so much more to learn. And now I'm even more inspired to practice. So in the end, I want to say 'Thank you, Chris!', for giving me the push I needed to start doing my best and beyond that!
Damn, really needed to get that of my chest!
Dude i;m 15 and returning to art, hopefully gonna improve like you :)
This is what you often just don't see from artists. Thank you for showing your sketchbooks :)
Ever time I watch a Kuzomari video it makes want to stop passively sketching every now & then to absolutely grind absolute shit out everything I know to it’s maximum potential.
I learned a lot of stuff from this and I loved it
Holy moly that's a lot of drawings :D I recently decided to just choose a character each month and practice drawing it. My 1st one is a male, humanoid character so I'm drawing a bunch of poses, practicing heads, practicing the proportions of the body. Practicing the features that make the character who he is. I'm feeling so bad about some of my more shittier sketches but at least I'm drawing.
Reading about all the fundamentals and reading how you're supposed to draw does nothing unless you actually DRAW.
Glad to see you’re happy and well Kuzo, stay safe and healthy
Your style on sketchbook look AWESOME. And that look how you learn everything. It the same thing I learn about drawing channel from this channel. My animation character drawing channel learn so much from your channel. Thanks for inspired me on drawing and channel. Iam your big fans🙂👍👍
I learn drawing alot from this channel and your studiocalus channel, you both my inspiration.
Your drawing channel AWESOME man. I can learn drawing step by step
You draw like pro studiocalus
@@yahyadj5996 thank you my friend.🙂
@@kakdeye7419 glad to hear my drawing channel help you to upgrade your draeing skill
Thanks @kuzomari for sharing this. Since lockdown in my country, I've been trying to get back to practicing my drawing. Ever since I've stumbled onto your channel, your vids have been a real inspiration for me. Now I'm looking to fill up my sketchbook as well!
From now on, I swear my art will be just as good as yours one day. I have now chosen the official art style I want, you inspire me so much! I hope one day you can see my art in a gallery just so I could come up to you to tell you your my idol
I love this video , Inspiring me ! Thank You Kuzo ✒️❤️
I’ve been trying to go on a journey just like this as well
Thank you for making this video🙏 I have found myself losing my passion for drawing and I just want to get back into it and become better. This really gave me an idea of what I should do.
I quit drawing cuz i really hate my art, i look down on my self too much. Really love watching ur vids.
I really cant wait to see what my drawings will look like in future. Thanks for having this video and showing me that it takes time it really helped
This is the first video I have ever watched on your channel and I have to say wow! The transformation from your first sketchbook to the last one is actually very impressive! You should be extremely proud of yourself because you really came far from where you started! Keep working hard man and I subscribed to your channel so I can see how far you go with your art! PROPS!
Ok now i truly understand that i NEED to practice
If you struggle with anatomy, use shapes, it helps a lot and also plan your pose before starting or else you’ll immediately fall into your comfort zone
Enjoy the process. :) That's what I've learning to get back to. Thanks for the reminder! :D
I always wanted to pick up art, but I just don't have the patience. I have an image in my head but my skill level just isn't near that image and it makes me just YEET the book. Respect to everyone who pushes through that and actually does progress.
Cool video Kuzomari! I can’t wait for your next video. 😎👍🏾 I like your sketches and drawings, they are really good and I like learning new skills from you and other artists on RUclips.
This is awesome! I always loving seeing artist sketchbook because I always find it very motivating to watch
This was inspiring for me, I'm in a bad mood with my drawings lately, I'm trying to pull off anatomy, but I always do something wrong and feel sad about the result like if I where losing my time, but seeing your progress through those sketche books is inspiring and good to see.
So I'm taking for granted all of what I learnt in perspective during college studying "landscape architecture" just because I thought It'd be better if I studied "fine-arts" instead. Wow.
when watching this video it just made me want to draw but in a structured way (objective driven) to learn better and thanks for sharing
I'm glad that I'm not the only one who make messy sketches in the sketchbook .
thank you man you got me so motivated god bless you
This video give me more confidence for my self and start a new anatomy for drawing!
Uraraka picture tho kuzo.....u fein
crazyyyy! Such a beautiful process and growth!
I did the same thing study perspective, anatomy, etc. in pen rough drawings. Then when I finally wanted to test my growth the feel was true rewarding. I swear I was jumping around with joy bro ahah.
Thank you for sharing Kuzo
I think you might be my favorite art youtuber :>
Proko by far has the best videos for learning how to draw.
Bro! This is soo cooool! Back then in 2018, I was thinking of practicing fundamentals but at that time it just doesn't feel great. Like I keep on brushing off the thought. Now, I regret that I didn't do it hahaha. So for next month I want to dedicated a lot of time, practicing fundamentals and perspective. Thanks for this video!
this video is so very important to me because i'm learning to drawing now and you progression em 2 years is so much inspiring to me... thanks for opening my mind and showing your timeline of the drawings more one sub and like
You're so awesome. Just two years!!!
I need to do this with perspective, I rely on 3D programs and images to help me with perspective. And your improvement was really fast, thanks for sharing your progress with us.
Sycra calls this "iterative practice." Works in writing too. It's basically that rote, "Do it again, again, again" that we all were told was the way to accomplishment when we were 10 years old, and which we also immediately dismissed as a waste of time when we were 10 years old.
