pls watch to the end (2x speed if you're up for the challenge) to avoid any misunderstandings and please keep comments civil! and if no one's told u recently: i'm proud of all you've achieved 🫵
As someone going through the "My art sucks" phase, omg is it harder to get past this than it sounds... I'm in a cycle of feeling stupid, grinding, and then feeling more stoopid because I don't see improvement When in this state, seeing someone seemingly do the same things as you and improve more is very demotivating and can get you to question your life decisions and thrash around wondering what in the world you did wrong. oh well hopefully this process is worth it ToT
I think the reason his improvement is so impressive and rapid is because he’s focused on consistency and tackling his weak points. So many casual artists including myself delay learning the basics for years but he’s tackling them straight away! I don’t think him buying an iPad gives him that much of an advantage over most non millionaire artists 😭 he’s just an efficient learner and we all can benefit from following in his footsteps if we can
I think that's why I find videos like his inspiring. Even though I've never been consistent whatsoever and am terrible at tackling my weak points (spent years only drawing from one angle and can't draw other angles) he's showing me what is possible when I do those things. Seeing what is possible inspires me because I have the belief that it can be me too. If you don't have that belief it can turn from inspiring to feeling inadequate.
That is why his work and video is so inspiring he's give me motivation to draw again after stopping for year, he really did make me regret stoping drawing he's amazing
@@y-tiplex me too unfortunately but his first art video made me pretty much fall back in love with art again after not enjoying it thoroughly for a while and it pushed me to finally address my weakest point in art (perspective 💀) and I’m happy I did! Hope he also pushes onwards with art and explores different mediums
@@felixdom9693 I think he mentioned in his video that he always loved art but he wasn’t ready for it until now so don’t kick yourself for stopping when you did because maybe you weren’t ready for it either! You got this
Then I think you completely missed the point of how humans improve in anything Suppose you are a student in 9th standard, you got good marks in all the subjects except maths , in desperation you started doing maths and hyper focused on it leaving other subjects to be neglected, in your next exam then you will get really good marks in maths but your other subjects will suffer a lot. In Felix's case if you noticed he hyper focused on making anime faces and faces only , a year long journey of only doing faces everyday in a single style will lead to insane improvements but it will also make you lack in other aspects In Felix's case though he might have made insane improvements in face drawing of an anime character if you give him to draw a person in perspective with full body proportions and in a more realistic style or heck give him a scenery of any place to draw , chances are whatever he will create will look like it was made by a toddler. Yes his focus and consistency is commendable but you should consider other factors aswell that gave him such improvements Hope this helps.
One of the most discouraging things about learning art is trying and not improving even still. To tell an artist struggling to improve "You're not trying" is not only incorrect, it is wrong. It is possible to do everything right and still fail. That is life.
Imo, Felix's improvement is not only in just trying but he also actively seek out opinions, flaws to fix it in order to improve. He used his own way of thinking with his style of drawing to find improvement within. To me art consist of two thing: The idea from the brain and the hand for the pencil, having both making you an artist and one withour the other just make you someone who enjoy drawing.
I thought the art community was all about encouraging and helping others out? Why are we suddenly bashing on PewDiePie for taking the time out of his day to draw for an entire year?
Envy. It's all envy. If your stuff looks different/worse (its all in the eye of the beholder anyways), you want it to be the same. And if you feel like you cant achieve it, we have that weird brain mechanism to hate on someone cause you dont have what they have. It's not just a drawing thing even! Looks, other skills.. Humans are weird.
It wasn't never about that. 15 years ago I was in one as a teen and they were some of the snarkiest, meanest people I've dealt with. And that says a lot coming from someone who plays competetive games where people rage in chat. I remember when one group was calling their own art s - t to mope and I said "I think my art is alright, I like it" to just stop from this self pity. This upset some of them so much, they went extra lenghts to call my art crap and all sorts to bring me down lol.
because there's so many theoretical "artists" out there talking about art but never actually picking up a pencil to work on their improvements , and then they wonder why pew improves and they don't while the guy actually sticked to the plan and was concentrated on doing in daily for a dedicated amount of time per day.
@@MatijaVuk-z9nAs someone who has been doing art for more than 10 years now - Your comment is the most important one. I have heard “ I want to start drawing/ I want to learn how to draw” so many times, from people who draw like once a month, it makes me want to vomit. Plus! People should stop wanting to do art as a “trend”.
People tend to forget that there's a thing called transferible skills. Pewdiepie has 2 important transferible skills from his 10+years as an online personality: perseverance and proper iteration (the ability to find flaws on a product and solve them on the next version). No one ever learns a new trade from zero...and many people fail to understand this
People just need to be honest on having better bases than others. Kind of obvious with Pewdiepie, but generally people don't admit what supplemtary skills or support they had to get to a point. Admitting them gives a clearer picture of what a person can achieve from truly nothing.
Also he’s drawing every single day, most artists have multiple years of experience but have a job or school and can’t draw every day (I know I can’t), this man drew more in a year then I probably did in my entire life, and I’m not saying he’s better at art then me (sure for anime characters he is but I prefer drawing animals and fantasy creatures), but if he was I would fully understand, because he draws every day and I haven’t drawn properly in 3 months
@@crocodil-vw6es you can absolutely draw everyday, all you need is like 30 min tops to get some good focused practice, I for example do a lot of drawing on public transport instead of doom scrolling shorts. Most people's excuses come not from time/money problems but from their own faults like laziness and procrastinating.
As someone who is broke as hell and learning art I’ve seen massive improvements in the 30 minutes I spend (work breaks) over the past 3 months You can do it as long as you’re motivated to do so!
8:20 He's a millionaire, therefore he had the millions to buy that millionaire paper and the millionaire pencils, which are a millions times better. Of course. /sarcasm
I got into an argument with someone over this exact point Expensive art tools dont translate to good art and a spiral notebook and #2 pencil literally costs less than a dollar even in todays economy
@@floofyboi7546 yeah but Felix doesn’t have to work 79 hours a week to support him and his family. The supplies isn’t the thing money buys, it’s the time and energy and the fact that people can’t get this is hilarious.
@ stop making excuses as to why you cant spend 15 minutes a day doodling during lunch. Thats all I hear. Excuses excuses excuses. And I highly doubt your working that goddamn much. Pick. up. the. pencil. I swear to god, one man shows how all you need is consistency and suddenly every aspiring artist is working slave hours at the local sweatshop.
@ I only get a 45 minute lunch break and I have to spend that eating as I work from 7am-10pm. Then I have school on top of that. Your assumption that I don’t put effort in is false. I’m complaining that simps like you will go to bat for a man who has literally never worked for anything and has had no stress his entire life for having “consistency”. It’s not impressive to do one thing every day when you’ve don LITERALLY NOTHING for 30 years outside of cost on mommy’s “swedens top CIO of 2010” career and play video games. My man dropped out of college because “he didn’t like it” He’s spoiled and y’all really are hyping up no effort Andy
@ so your bending over backwards to discredit a legitimate strategy to improve your art all just to shit on that man? As you mentioned there’s tons of reasons to shit on him, there’s no need to gatekeep art behind a requirement of being extremely rich in the process.
I think ross said it in a previous video, Pewdiepie has the ability to see precisely what aspects of his art need improving, which is a skill, and others might not be as good at that skill. He tackled his weak points over the course of a year as a recent father and I think the dude deserves props for that. "You can only get this good because youre rich" is cope. Would it be harder if he was working a 9-5 earning shit wage focused on feeding his new kid? Sure. Would it be impossible to dedicate a few minutes each day to his hobby? No, probably not. Be happy for others folks. And focus on your own journeys
yeah, i know so many who watch 3-4 hours of tv every day after work, if they just take 30min off that every day and focus on something else they would probably see equal progress.
@@lootmaster1337 It's incredibly how some people will spend hours to complain about not having enough time for their "hobby," meanwhile they're spending that time complaining or sitting in a dead discord call doing absolutely nothing.
Yeah whatever it's like telling yourself "I need to eat less" when you're fat it seems obvious but it hurts more than it helps because you know it but you still can't do it. Empty phrases people like to say to others and themselves. Maybe just maybe having tons of money and living in good country make your head lighter to learn anything.
I'm proud that I actually left my house and went to my first-ever Halloween party. I'm a very shy and sheltered person due to my upbringing, but a friend of mine from online said, 'I'm coming to town, and I want to hang out. I know you're afraid, but don't be.' So, I’m happy I got that life experience. I still struggle with social anxiety
As a person who had severe social anxiety, I applaud you 👏 I started to get out of my bubble when I was around 16-17, and let me tell you, while it’s difficult at first it does get easier, of course it takes a while so don’t expect changes too soon if you continue to take small steps out your comfort zone. And while I’m definitely way more social and confident now, it doesn’t mean I’m suddenly not anxious anymore, I’m still a little shy and get a little nervous asking people for things, setting up hangouts, and phone calls are the bane of my existence. But I’m definitely more happy than I was before. Don’t give up, and don’t force yourself either, sometimes giving yourself breaks from social interactions is a good thing, it allows your brain to relax and recharge. I wish you luck for the future 🍀👍
By their own logic, the sailor moon creator would be absolutely hated on considering she was extremely successful in her life and rich before she even picked up to draw and make manga.
@@TheHipisterDeer a girl who worked and studied to become a pharmacist to support herself while she worked to break into the manga industry is not even remotely comparable to a dude who was born into money and spent 20 years playing video games because he had no other ambition and then decided to get into drawing because he was bored after doing literally nothing for years
@@matthall7359 bro i see that u keep on complaining and complaining and it never ends. I think u need to log off and use your free time for something more beneficial, cause hating on other people waste more of the time u said 'ordinary' people don't have. Yes, he has more free time, but do you not have any at all?
I mean yes he's a millionaire, but that was not because of old money. Pewdiepie worked his ass off uploading every single day since 2011 or something. Went from selling hotdogs to being a successful youtuber. Let this man do what he wants now cuz he earned it!
I think you are missing the point. It's just easier for wealthy people to learn a skill. It's not about how he acquired said wealth but how being wealthy puts him in a better position to learn new skills. For example, if Batman were not wealthy. Do you think he would've been able to dedicate as much time as he did to acquire all the skills he traveled the world to learn?
Thanks to Pewdiepie I got inspired to start drawing again after essentially giving up on it, and I am so glad I got back to it because I finally enjoy art again
I was looking for a comment like this, I feel this video is rather encouraging for these people (like me) who gave up on art just because "success is not a straight line". And also don't have the discipline to practice every day. Something SamDoesArt always says is "Trust the process", which I consider is one of the best Art advice for beginners because we tend to be very perfectionist and try to do the little details on things that shouldnt have that much detail and get lost, bored in the same drawing just because you want the result to be perfect, turns out that if you keep doing that, you'll most likely have no result at all.
I also feel inspired. I know nothing about art, but always wanted to try game dev (I have a lot of the other skills, like programming and musicianship and perhaps storytelling), but always felt held back because I thought I would never be able to create my own game art assets. Still, I'm looking to learn and to have some fun with it you know, and keep things simple.
I started to sew a lot of clothing lately. I'm not a great seamstress, but I keep improving every week, and recieving compliments on your clothes when you made them yourself feels crazy cool
Me too!! I made Ren Faire costumes for my family (7 people including myself) and while it was super stressful at times, working on so many different pieces for so many different body types helped me to learn A LOT!! I’m working on a winter coat for myself next. It’s my dream coat and while it’s a bit intimidating, I know that if I stick with it I’ll be able to get it done in a way I’m happy with. Happy sewing!!
Aaah, sewing is dope! I've been getting into DIY customisation with old clothes recently. It can be a little scary sometimes e.g. trying to unsew a patch without poking holes, but the results are good enough and it feels good when you know you made it yourself.
I found your channel through a random decision to download xiaohongshu, found a reupload of your “trying tutorials from different countries” video! And honestly I’m genuinely obsessed.
Recently I'm proud of my story writing progress, I love writing and I love storytelling through many forms and looking back at my previous work I learned thatI've improved alot!
@chrismedcare9126 Hi.my close friend wanna start writing (and did it a lot) but he often drop or change story.can u give some advices or maybe link to some videos, that can help him?
Envy can be both a blessing and a curse, but unfortunately in most cases, it ruins a person's perspective on everything and themselves. It can become a blessing when you can channel your envy toward others’ efforts, talents, or achievements and have clarity on how to direct that envious feeling. So, it's on you on how you'll manage your own enviousness. The question is, will you use it to sabotage/mock the person you envy? Will you turn it inward and sabotage yourself, believing you’ll never catch up instead? OR will you try to have it inspire you, motivating you to reach, or even better, surpass their level one day without harming anyone, including yourself? It's not easy, i know, but please for God sake stop putting others down or pity yourself too much over their achievement/talent. Raise up your ego but also be humble, don't be spiteful with your "idol" either. Add: One more thing to say, everyone's have different life situation, learning capability, and spare times. So please, please, PLEASE DON'T pressure into yourself to draw everyday and get same results like Felix too much either! The last thing you want is getting burnout or worse, you may finally fed up with drawing.
To be frank, I use Envy as a motivator! It makes me want to get a certain trait or skill for me to push myself to go further to get to my desired level. It’s not hard for me to stay positive about the whole thing, but like you said it’s not the same for everyone (hence the blessing and a curse). One day I’ll be able to get to the levels of some cool artists I followed / subscribed for a long time, so I think that’ll be really cool to have my art out there alongside other cool drawings! I’ve got some owed art lingering around for a bit but after i get that done I’ll finally get myself focused to start practicing properly :)
If it is used to inspire, envy is turned into awe and admiration and is no longer envy. It goes from a negative emotion to a positive one. But yeah, as a non-artist, who wants to try it for fun and for a pet project, I feel inspired by Felix. He makes me believe it's possible to improve with discipline and a good mindset.
@@beomkaslana there is absolutely nothing inspiring about a man who was born into riches, got richer playing video games and has finally decided after 30 years to put minimal effort into something for the first time.
Ppl who critizice... no, who undermine and try to give themselves a bump by saying "he is rich, he has time" just forgot that Pewds has what most of artist and new gen doesn't have (not their fault, our society has evolve to a "fast results" world) DISCIPLINE. my boy uploaded videos every single day for more than ten years, whereas you liked his content or not, his perseverance put him where he is now today. those 111M subs werent given, he earned them by grinding every single day, nonstop. So ofcourse he would get better and better if you are practicing an hour or less a day. He didn't go to any art school, he just read drawing book and watch youtube tutorials. I don't know why we, humans, try to make other ppl less so we can still feel ok withourselves, is dumb and mediocre. If you want to overcome Felix, practice.more, study more, see what are your errors, maybe that drawing style isn't for you, maybe is that. An example, I realize that even though I loved German, I sucked at that language, but I realize that Japanese was more of thing, and after three years I reached the N3 or that I sucked at drawing and modeling, but i was good at paiting chocolate, and designing chocolate. you have to be able to step back and say "maybe this isn't for me... but what about this!" that's what life is about. giving your time, taking your time and press fowards and dont giving up because "someone is richer and has more time to practice" also, those croissants look puffy puffy, delicious delicious.
It’s incredibly easy to have discipline when you have no real responsibilities or stresses in your life. Ah nah your right I’m just lazy, working 70 hours a week and sleeping 4-5 hours a night is just being undisciplined if I really wanted it I would cut back to 3 hours of sleep to grind that drawing.
@@matthall7359 if you have to work 70 hours a week to make a livable wage, you need to rethink you're living arrangements or job before worrying about drawing and getting mad at people online for not breathing at the same rate you do
@@matthall7359 Well it falls down to priority and commitment doesn't it? For you, you have other commitments in life, whereas pews has gone past those commitments (except family i guess). That still doesn't give people the right to undermine the effort someone has put into something. To be good at something, you have to sacrifice time for that something right? So if you really want to grind that drawing, then sacrifice some of those hours, if you can't then that's just where you life is currently. In the future that may or may not change. So I really don't get the hate people are giving this
@ no one is undermining the amount of effort it takes, people are pointing out the actual amount of effort it takes in his position is absolutely minuscule compared to most people. And no, being dedicated to something and showing up for it every day isn’t hard when you have no responsibilit.
@@matthall7359 And? Just because you don't have time for it, others who do must follow your pace? Is this applicable only to things you're interested in, or do we have to follow your pace in everything?
I’ve recently been proud of myself for first of all, drawing more traditionally and finding my artstyle, second of all, reaching out to my friends whenever I feel bad! I didn’t used to do it that much but now I do it almost every time I feel bad and it’s so refreshing :3
I'm proud of myself for finally getting another piano after moving! I found one close by on fb marketplace and drove a uhaul for the first time, it was really scary and tiring. Then I opened up the piano and got all the keys working again by watching a bunch of youtube videos. :) much love, this video makes me want to start drawing again!
I get why people talk about the "being rich" part. It is not only about being able to afford materials or having a bit more free time. It is about having peace of mind. If you are financially set for life, you know all your family's most basic needs are taken care of forever. Food, housing, healthcare, education, etc. The burden of being productive for those reasons is lifted. You can finally simply enjoy the process. Enjoy the failures, the challenge of learning and that makes a lot of difference. When you have responsabilities that are weighing in your mind, it is hard to simply feel free to devote yourself fully to a hobby project that doesn't bring any financial/professional advances.
It's a lot easier to focus on drawing and improving your craft when you have 8-10 extra hours of free time a day and don't have to cram that learning time in with the other myriad of things you have to do when you "aren't working."
I don't see how PewDiePie or antone who is privileged should have to bear the front of people's envy regardless of how privilege affects the journey. Regardless of that you gotta make do with what you have, inferiority complexes won't get people anywhere. (I just wanted to add this so people know it's okay to feel things that are ugly as envy and jealousy, but definitely not okay to push onto others)
This isnt true at all. I mean, it is if you let yourself think like this. But not only is it unhealthy to think like this, but it also hinders your ability to progress foreward. Most people who cant progress will have this mindset. Im not rich, do i sit there and dwell on that and pity myself? Do i sit there and let that control how i think of myself and my life? No i move on and tackle things one at a time. Because i know logically, as you do and everyone rlse, that your accessibility to certain things does not equate talent or progression. Theres nothing stopping one progressing with theor drawing as long as they have something to draw with and something to draw on, it does not have to be expensive. People need a better mentality towards themselves and rheir work, they need confidence. Too many people like in this video and this comment, are too insecure about their work, and instead of realising they need to keep trying, they just say bs like “its cuz i cant have peace of mind cuz i dont have an expensive ipad like pewdiepie” yeah no Yall needa stop with this ridiculous victim mentality. There are many people out there who have become amazing artists with barely anything, and trying to say you cant improve unless your rich is not only silly but disrespectful to those people. Likewise theres people who are rich and cant draw for shi, even after trying hard. I personally taught myself to draw when I was 11 with nothing but a 1 dollar pencil and a 2 dollar school book. I drew at school every single day. I went from barely being able to draw a stick figure, to realistic dragons and monsters, in days. When I went camping and lost my art book and pencils and couldnt afford to replace them, I spent each day drawing with a rock on the cement path. Its called hard work, not pitying onself qnd tryna project your struggles onto random people just because they have more money than you and you’re jealous of them. A real artist can draw anything with whatever they have available to them, a stick and patch of dirt? A rock and some cement? A stick and a tree? Your finger and some sand? Mud and the ground? Yes, yes and yes, all yes. That is what art is.
Legit watching Felix's art journey vids are so comforting and so relatable. It's inspiring to see how far someone can go in a short amount of time cuz it's proof that our practice will result in *something.* He described his thought process and what he did throughout his journey and literally it's stuff that I've thought about, that any artist I know has thought about. He looked back on his art and said how it was bad, he should've drawn the face more like this/that. He went through the crisis of omg i'm drawing the same thing I SHOULD DRAW SOMETHING DIFFERENT. He thought about how he needed to improve in coloring or drawing bodies. And yet people heard this and thought he improved because he's a millionaire. okay.
People tend not to realize that Pewds already had a background in graphic design, and while I'm not saying it's *the* reason he's so good so quickly, it helps a lot. Food for thought.
Even he in the video doesn’t recognize that knowing techniques of what looks good helps. Like he addresses it in the video but super downplays it. It is different so I understand that but the concepts apply
If you had a background in graphic design you'd know it's not. Most graphic designers can't draw at all. All they do is trace composites, basically what AI does now. I took the two semesters of figure drawing, only drawing instruction provided in the whole major, along only 12/98 of my generation and we were constantly told we were wasting our time by other professors.
@ I have a feeling that’s down to you as a person, as I’ve also taken courses and I’ve done work for other people, with results different to your own. Understanding color theory and composition are required for both graphic design and drawing, to make things look good. Furthermore, if you’ve only taken two semesters, that’s not enough for the practical application. Saying you took classes but did nothing with it outside of class won’t translate into skills generally speaking because that’s not enough time. That’s a pretty common and (in my opinion) bad argument that a lot of people like to make. On the tracing side of it- that can be used to learn but it’s not how you should be doing things forever. If you constantly trace, you won’t learn the skills needed until much later, if at all. Your experience is valid, but at the same time it sounds like you’re trying to paint a picture of things being one way when there’s more nuance involved. You might try going out and learning more before writing a comment that lacks understanding of what I’m speaking about. Hope you have a good day.
Not all practice is the same practice. There's very solid science behind this called deliberate practice. I hope people realize that genetics aren't that big of a factor. Learning is a skill on its own (which you can improve at). Some people are better at it than others, which will result in different progress rates. Keeping in mind also that background and experience with various things play into it (although this is harder to quantify if said experience is not immediately obvious how its related to the skill in question).
@LuthfiRafsanjani reading the original paper is a good place to start "The role of deliberate practice in the acquisition of expert performance." By Ericsson K et al 1993. Just keep in mind that it's still an ongoing research area so it's not like its fully understood yet. But it has been shown that meeting certain conditions (outlined in the study) do yield much better results more consistently. I've done some personal exploration on the topic. So I can share my experience if you want. But I do suggest you read the paper first anyway.
@@raizan1526 Is deliberate practice just basically being mindful of what you're studying or observing? I think I've entered that state of mind a few times. Key thing is to just get into a calm mental state and just focus on learning. Key thing is to also eliminate any distractions during this time. Including spending 20 minutes trying to find the "right music" or something, lol.
Honestly, I'm proud of Felix, he's doing what he loves & I do envy him for that. I wish I had his mindset cause I'm definitely a bit toxic when I compare my art with someone else's. On another note, I hope everyone has a great day! Happy drawing!
It isn't necessarily true, but isn't wrong neither. Him being rich didn't buy him skill. But it did huy him free time. Something many can't afford, especially in the current economy.
@@eegernades let’s also keep in mind he didn’t have to get rich, he started rich as his parents are both corporate officers, his mom was top CIO in Sweden in 2010. Bro has had nothing but free time forever and after 30 years finally decided “I guess I should try to do something of value” And you want me to clap?
@@matthall7359 did not know that. I will refrain from commenting on that, as my response was prior to his benefit, he has to vastly improve in art compared to everyone else. Surprisingly, I noticed a complete lack of discussion of his benefit of free time compared to everyone else.
@ I think that’s really more the crux of the issue here. Is that most people severely underestimate what they’re capable with hard work and dedication. Felix’s art is impressive and his growth it’s a little nutty but most people could also jump leaps and bounds in a similar timeframe they just don’t have the resources to completely throw themselves at just 1 thing.
Yes it sounds silly, just look at the responses given in this comment and on some others comments (yes, I'm talking about you, y'know who you are 😉), people coping hard and being so shut in their own worlds, finding any possible excuse to either still bash/undermine pewds, or to somehow blame money (or even rich people in some cases) I could understand such responses from children, since well, they are children... but c'mon, teenagers and specially adults acting like this, fam? dang, it's sad
Something im proud of myself for is for a while ive been a little down and maybe not fully depressed but close to getting there. I had negative thoughts all the time, wasnt motivated to do anything, i didnt eat much, i cried a lot... and i just wasnt as cheerful and bright like i used to be. But i realized this, i recognized it, and i made small steps to try to improve my everyday mood. I took plenty of rest, and asked myself for what i want and need. I also confided in a lot of friends, and made some big changes in my life like moving to a new place to refresh my environment. I also searched up info about therapy, though i didnt get to actually going to one (if i needed it i definitely would have). I asked myself and listened to myself, and soon i definitely felt better and im a lot happier these days. I also reduced drastically the amount of mental power i used to spend on a toxic friendship. Its too fast to say for sure im completely better now, but im still so proud of myself for recognizing i was going in a downwards spiral and actively trying to get myself out even though it was difficult. Im glad I was in a state to get myself out of it.
@@YoursTrulyYami Exactly, talent and hard-work are two different things. Being a good artist whomst is naturally able to create something with little effort would be talent. Hard-Work is in the name. (Also, I feel as if many people are mistaken. The argument that Pewds succeed's as he's more accustomed is false. I don't believe people are truly mad at his art, rather his ethic to prevail, not letting progress abate is difficult. I very sparsely draw and blame myself for it, yet I'm not a hypocrite.)
8:29 in all do respect it doesn’t take a lot of money to get a pencil and paper, I know everyone’s financial situations are different but that is the minimum in art. WHAT DID HE START WITH?! Pencil and paper so stop deflecting your lesser growth and get inspired (not to the creator of this video loving the video but to the twitter comments ❤😊)
I tried doing the art challenge and was drawing every day for a while, and I did see improvement, but I got bored with the tutorials and stopped, then felt like a failure. The thing is... what I did put the time and consistency into was my sewing. I make costumes for cosplay and sew clothes, and I am so much better than when I started! Its okay to not be a drawing person. You can still find a craft that speaks to you!
I'm loving the positive vibes in this video hehe. To answer your question, recently I had this singing competition which I ended up getting an A+ for! I was honestly super happy and emotional about it because in the past few singing competitions, I felt like I had just been doing worse and worse. Honestly, my advice is that whatever you're passionate about, do it with confidence and don't be disheartened by failures or mistakes every now and then.
I moved from drawing human figures that just don't make sense to understanding the orientation of the body parts and actually putting what I percieve out on paper. It's so amazing and wonderful, like magic. I'm so proud of myself ❤❤❤
It seems as though a lot of artists may just be trying to hard without finding new ways to improve or using different methods in their work, with diversity in how you perceive and create objects or people comes experience. Try every art style you can from geometric to fluid to line art to borderless, sure you can eventually make good faces if that’s all you draw but learning and improving means pushing your boundaries. I just started sketching yesterday after 10 years of inactivity and MAN ITS HARD! But it’s so rewarding when a project starts to come together and you can visualize the end result. I used to always be discouraged from art because of my color blindness and because of my adhd which affects how I visualize images mentally but now I’m leaning into my strengths, I’m practicing basic geometry, building muscle memory, learning perspective, but I also try to free hand objects I see in the world and then look back at previous pages and make annotations on what I learned, how I could do “better” etc… it’s a mental game of perseverance and creativity, if you feel as though you’re struggling, maybe you are, but that’s OK! Struggling and pushing boundaries is how we gain confidence and progress is not a straight line, it’s a winding road with valleys plateaus and cliffs
I really love the journey that he had to go through and I kinda relate for drawing for over 2 years since 2022. It's just slower for me cuz I sometimes slack off or giving myself an excuse like studying for school but I will try to change that in my 20s. I'm going to improve like pewds ever did
Thats awesome! I started with beanies too and was super intimidated to crochet clothing. I finally took the plunge last year and made a sweater. I would highly recommend giving it a try. Making clothes is so much fun!! There are some awesome video tutorials for sweaters that don’t require you to purchase a pattern
I continued my journey of learning Japanese this September, after stopping during the early stages of the pandemic. I've been doing well, except recently I've been really busy with uni so I had to halt (this was after learning the JLPT N5 kanji and their most commonly used readings). I was scared I would forget them, but I did a brush-up this week and I'm so happy I still remember them. Life just happens, and I think people need to acknowledge that so that they can stop beating themselves over it!
Something I’m really proud of is my art. Seeing other people art motivates me to try different styles and techniques. I love drawing people avatars because sometimes I have ZERO idea what to draw. I’m no where near Picasso but showing my improvement in just a year is so cool and I can’t wait till next year and see what else I can draw!
The hardest part for me is that inert feel of jealousy I feel whenever I watch someone else's progress. I feel like I have to be just as good if not better in the same time span. This sucks all the joy out of me. It sucks.
I started drawing with more thought and consideration around 2015, so it’s been almost an entire decade of my art journey (I’m both traditional and digital). I’m personally more closer to a comic artist in terms of vibe compared to an illustrator, but I am proud of my journey in learning different styles, features, anatomy, rendering techniques… I’m comfortable enough to whip up a silly but thoughtful artwork on a whim, which is something I had strived for for a very long time. And honestly, it’s okay for me to take almost 10 years just to achieve this state. I’m not perfect either! And I want to do more! It’s everyone’s goal to keep improving no matter what, and I wish you all good luck, and especially, have lots of fun drawing!
Don’t know how well it translates, but I’ve had a similar experience. I’ve been a DM for dnd my whole life, but there was a year after 5th edition launched that I was obsessed with learning the rules and upping my world building/narrative skills. I was so passionate and it led to some legendary campaigns. I have never ran a game as good since, and there was a period where campaigns would die, as I’d seen them not worthy. Eventually my buddy was like, “stop, they don’t need to be like that game, and we’d like to finish a campaign again!!!” Since then I’ve accepted it, and it has been so much more relaxed and rewarding.
I am super super proud of a bag ,a mesh bag that I crocheted recently and super thank you for this video because one hour ago I was thinking and being sad about my slow progress after seeing other crocheters having a lot of progress in such short time and I am having such a short progress in a long time but after watching this video I think that slow progress is still progress
That is literally so ridiculous that some people think that you need to be rich in order to be good at art?! Like, what part of that is supposed to make any sense?!! Even if you are rich, you still have to draw with your hands right? How is that any different than being poor?
I don't know why people blame it on how rich he is. Everyone has access to the same resources he uses. If they can type on twitter, they can use the same apps. It's not like he has all the time in the world, he has a family to tend to.
@@yungeggrollbecause time is the actual resource that rich people have over everyone else. They get to dictate how their time is spent, compared to the rest of the 8 billion people on earth who have their time also dictated by the rich until they die.
While I admit that I maybe did some self-comparison when seeing his work, if anything, it's just reminding me that I should probably practice more. I'm a game dev and have been doing art my whole life, but I admittedly feel like I've stagnated in some ways, so his progress is really just telling me that I should work more consistently and try to focus on the things I need to improve on.
I feel that each drawing is like a gasha style game, you can get one very good SSR, others more or less R, etc. The important thing is to enjoy the process and you are right viyaura, we should not compare ourselves with others nor with ourselves, because at the end of the day we tend to be very hard on ourselves and the path in things is not linear, it has its ups and downs. To tell you the truth I am having a hard time switching to that switch, especially dealing with depression and my adhd (I am in treatment), but I know I can get through it 💕 Don't give up, go ahead and enjoy the drawing process ^w^
I'm proud of overall my consistency on my Hobbies and especially Art, the way I completed inktober even tho I didn't exactly love the prompts. It's sometimes hard seeing all the amazing people online and feeling like you are just lesser but tbh I felt a lot better recently. Just Look at your own journey, we will all get there, some just later than others but it doesn't matter. Keep going everyone! ❤
I came up with my own prompts and did Drawtober, instead of "inktober" because of the whole Jake parker thing, and how much of a clown his ass is., but I specifically drew eyes, and came up with a palette challenge, anime eyes, but the palettes are based on flowers.
Hey Viyaura, beginner here. I wanna say I'm really inspired by your videos. You give off that awesome "Art is Fun" vibe that I feel no one else really does (except for Orb, ofc. edit: and Wondernat!!). I just wanna thank you so much for giving new wannabe artists like Your Highness🤚tips on how to draw, colour and so much more. :)
just finished my first internship & i developed super much as a future professional and im very proud, i think i left a lasting impact on the kids i worked with
The difference is not the pure time. It is the time relative to our days. If you are rich, you have all time in the world and don’t need to rush it. (Good headspace) You can also draw well rested, in your most productive hours. Users have to work, study or go to school. After that you are maybe tired or have to do more things. Sure, everyone can draw 30min a day. But how productive these are can very a lot
Nah I work 8 hours a day 6 days a week manual labor, and drive my girlfriend to work and back every day on top of that, with a two-hour total commute. I am improving at a similar rate to Felix regardless, probably would be quicker if I exclusively stuck to anime girls like him (I like to draw castles and monsters and turtles as well as anime girls) Basically what I'm trying to say is, in spite of my seasonal depression, addiction issues, poverty and lack of (good headspace) time, I can still do it. You can too, drop the excuses, persevere and stop lying to yourself with self-doubt
@ That’s great. I’m very happy for you 🫶. I have no self doubt. I just want to broader the perspective. And just because you can still focus on drawing in a hard week that you describing doesn’t mean that everyone could do that. The next person could be completely overwhelmed with your work week alone. We all have different energy levels. But the point I’m making still holds. If your week wasn’t that hard, your improvements would be even greater. I have similar issues. By me it’s caused by to much stress from ADHD. I make great progress, that’s not the point. But if I’m completely overwhelmed after a hard day, I can’t focus on ANYTHING. Regardless of what my interest is. And maybe your manual labor job helps you here. I used to work in manual labor too and could still concentrate after a hard day. Now I’m a programmer and after a long day of concentration, focusing becomes hard. Sport is not. Anyway, to much text. I wish you great success with your anime girls, fighting monster-turtles in castles ✌️
I got my piano diploma after around 7 years of learning piano. I’m proud of what I’ve achieved, but also scared of how fast I’m losing this skill now that I don’t have the exams to keep me motivated to practice. I struggle with self-discipline, and seeing how fast my skill is declining compared to how long it took to build up is really scary..
Being born into a great country, with lots of social safety nets, AND having parents high up in the corpo ladder does not equal earning every penny lmao.
@@MaxDunk not even high up in the corporate ladder, his mom was named top CIO of Sweden in 2010 Bro has done nothing his entire life and got even richer playing video games for children because he had literally nothing else to do with his life. Bro is a literal NEET that was just smart enough to record himself NEETing and everyone acts like he’s some god of work ethics. I’m happy bro has applied himself to an actual skill for the first time in over 30 years but I’m not gonna be impressed or act like it’s even a minor accomplishment.
I’ve been drawing since I could pick up a pencil. So I’ve been drawing my entire live, about 14 years. I thought I was good, until I found you and how you only have been drawing for a few years. That hurt because you are so much better than me. But it also is motivating me to get better.
one of the biggest things i learnt in the last few months as i started to get back into art again is to learn how to take a step back and look at my art as an overall image. When i would draw before, I very rarely ever finished anything, and very very rarely happy with the art i created. I would rage quit halfway through because it wasn't looking exactly how i envisioned it to look in my head. But something clicked and i guess i learnt how to take a step back and look at my art as one concrete thing. Because we're the ones to draw it, we always see every single mistake, every liine thats a little off, and we find ourselves looking at all the little details of the things we did wrong, the things that aren't perfect. But when you look at someone elses art, you see it as a full image. Rarely do you see the small details straight away, and when you do, you don't really think of them as mistakes or anything overly bad, its just a quirk of the art. Learning to look at my art that way, from that outside perspective, really helped. Also that one part when you talk about how you wanted to start drawing more girls, so you did, but still drew a lot of boys because that's what you're comfortable with? I think thats actually very important to talk about. Because if someone is really really desperate to improve, they might feel like they *have* to always be studying, always be pushing themselves, always trying new things so they can learn, but thats how you burn yourself out. It's ok to draw the things you like and are comfortable for fun. And it doesn't mean you can't still learn through those things too. Like i've been learning animation, and yes, the bouncing ball drill is very good for learning a lot of the principles of animation, and i have done it, however i have also done lots of other small animations that were fun, related to my other interests, and so while they weren't the bouncing ball drill, I was still having fun, and learning little things along the way. Was I learning as fast as I could have if i had just stuck to all the drills from the get-go, only doing bouncing balls and walk cycles and head turns until they were all perfect? Of course not, but was it a fun time, getting to make these little animations and feel accomplished while doing so? Absolutely. There's no one right way to do things, and while study is important and likely will help you see a great improvement in your art, if it doesn't bring you joy, then its not worth spending too long on. Let yourself have fun in between the studies. Let yourself have fun while you study. Art is not meant to burn you out and make you feel bored,, its not meant to feel like a chore. It's meant to be fun. So let yourself have fun. I've accepted at this point that I'm not going to become a great artist tomorrow. I've accepted that I will probably always see my art as looking awkward or "off" in some way, regardless of whether it is or isn't. But for me its not about creating perfectly beautiful art, it's about telling a story. That's where my true passion lies. So while It may take me ages to draw a single panel of the webcomic i'm working on, and it probably still won't look perfect by the end, all that matters is that i'm getting the story i want to tell across. Anyway, that was a long pretentious ramble lol.
2:50 Absolutely! I heard Pikat give the opposite advice which really grinded my gears. Doing the same slowed down his progress 1000% i can say that as an artist myself. I developed my hand control, lineart and colors but i didnt practice anatomy and proportions enough so now its super easy to spot in my artworks.
@@aperson6562 it was a very recent reaction to pewd's video that she uploaded. she said that FUN comes before fundamentals and that if he's enjoying drawing the same anime girls he'll want to keep drawing cuz it's what makes him happy.
Since the year 2021, the fun in drawing just kind of died out for me. I tried to come back to drawing multiple times in the past few years, but just couldn't get into it as much as I used to. PewDiePie's journey was really inspiring. So, I try to just take things one small step at time. I shouldn't be forcing myself to become who I was before immediately.
I'm not that kind of artist but taking on good habits while learning, pointing out issues and experimenting helped me so much. I'll also admit I've done it for 4 years almost everyday, avoiding comparison as much as possible or only focusing on people at the same level as me. Most of all, what's been helping me is the fact I LOVE what I do. I dabbled in other stuff beforehand and I've noticed it's helped as well!
The only issue with Pewdiepie's progress is the envy it evokes in the art community. Most of us found time to do any and everything we wanted as children. Now that we are adults, we no longer display the same time management. If you want to grow, practice with intention and do it consistently. The only shortcut is learning from others.
0:45 no he is laughing because he was going to list all the emotions he just claimed he has and the only one he could think of was "happy" , the most basic emotion there is 😭
just wanted to say as someone who used to watch A LOT of him between 2013-2017, i noticed that he was just naturally good at drawing. its really no shock to me that hes this good when i watched him make really good doodles as an amateur years ago
i am proud of finally taking the leap to start sketching traditional. Ive for many years avoided it and seeing it as a big scary monster. But since late in summer ive started drawing traditional and gone on walks and not felt the pressure of making something perfect. and i feel its helped me a lot with my style and vibe. Hope its going well for whoever is reading this. You doing great!!!
I used to be really artistic in high school but because of some events, I stopped drawing entirely or doing anything creative. It wasn't until recently that I was like... I'm losing my creativity, I need to do something again. So I took up sewing! I recently just made a quilt for my friend's baby and a nice warm blanket for my Grandma for Christmas. It felt good to make something with my hands again!
My digital art journey (is on RUclips) I think is terrible so I stick with paper/physical art (isn't on RUclips because I don't know how to record that without a tripod) then I realized I'm not recording stuff for RUclips which end's with a spiral of stress so this video especially that quote "life is too short to hate yourself" helps me in a way Thank you Viy
I do feel like with digital I have less easy line control somehow, but I can't really tell why. Maybe just the digital input being more precise than a normal pencil or something. So maybe I fI tried a super micro tip pencil on a small piece of paper it would be similar
Art progress is just pure randomness, one moment you could pass through any obstacles and another you just cannot work through them. Sometimes when you try to improve it's very easy (usually being at early stage) And I couldn't even draw a proper human body (its just basic shapes like circles and squares etc) 5 years ago
I’ve been on a knitting journey myself and I feel a lot of the same emotions. I’m so so proud of how far I’ve come, but I think i forced myself to jump to far ahead at one point. After knitting a lot of socks and deciding I wanted to get into knitting clothing, I jumped into a raglan lace cardigan with beautiful sleeves, but no matter what, I couldn’t get the lace pattern right on the hem. After some talks with knitters online, I decided to go back to a simple stockinette sweater with garter stitch panels, a really easy pattern, but still pretty in its own way. I enjoyed knitting it so much that it boosted my confidence again. I discovered that there’s so much beauty in learning the basics ❤
Its way more about what you value using your time for and deciding what is worth using your free time after work for than it is about the time itself. It's possible to not have any free time after work for sure, I won't act like I know you have time, but if you do literally anything that you don't HAVE to do but want to do when you get home then you could just draw instead if you choose to. Anyone who really WANTS to improve at something is going to be able to put time aside to do so instead of watching yt or whatever.
So, Im proud for keeping my streak with drawing everyday for a while now and im so grateful for this kind of videos, reminding that the comparison and competition habit is not the best choice. Ive been struggling with keeping myself consistent, losing motivation and completely shuttering my self worth and the worth of my art. Thats why im happy that there are people like you that give us that little reassurance that we sometimes lack. Thank you!
@@angeredotter738to be fair, he was just drawing on paper until recently. I don't think it's fair to just dismiss 100% of his progress. HOWEVER, it is true that he has a lot of free time and less responsibilities currently. Which probably makes it indeed easier to focus on art and not stress over outside forces (like school, work, etc). He is also older (35) and that can definitely affect one's mentality on the process of learning etc. At the end, the most important thing is to not compare your art journey to anyone else's. Compare you current art to your old art. That's the type of comparison that really matters
@@angeredotter738he’s literally drawing on paper with a pencil for the first 300 days 😭 the coloring isn’t even a big purchase either because as long as you learn how to color you can get the same effect with cheaper markers.
@@angeredotter738 to use money as a reason for his progress is a cop out for you to feel better about yourself , his resources arent high end many artists have them hes not getting some exclusive ultra progress inducing tech , hes sketching for like an hour a day . hes got a kid and a job he doesnt have infinite time
The fact that ive drawn for about 6years now and PewDiePie is already a head of my skill in year really motivate me to be more serious about my art skills since my skill hasnt grown since last 4years
Actually as an artist myself, it depends on your confidence. When i started to draw, i insanely sucked. it looked deformed. the neck was like a giraffe, no sholders, weirdly shaped eyes etc. i was super demotivated but eventually i started to like it. i kept on drawing, no matter how weird it was, as long as i was happy with it. Whenever id try to show others or my classmates, they would be really disgusted or start lying. so to avoid getting disheartened, i stopped showing them. It became my personal enjoyment. soon i wanted more progress so i started using tutorials for a few days untill i was ready myself. ill admit, the first attempt wasnt as great. it took me 4-6 hours to make a average looking anime character. but i kept practicing. its been 2-3 years and now im a proud artist who can draw anime accurately within a hour :) currently leaning into other art styles now so please dont loose hope! take your time and do it your style.Please dont compare yourselves to others! Secondly, I totally disagree on the hate pewdiepie's getting just because he took the time to draw every year. its not because hes rich, its because hes trying. you know, i once started off drawing on old school copies and using my mothers phone for tutorials? please. He has passion , stop ruining it. Stop comparing yourselves, i just wrote down my whole art journey here to encourage people. rich supplies will not make you a pro. it matters if you know how to use it or not! If pewdiepie ends up quitting art because of the haters. then they have no rights to be called an artist.
The pewdiepie video alongside watching Samdoesart inspired me to also do this challenge. But my variation is to do a sketch every weekday during work lunch break (it was originally an A5 sketch page but turned to just a doodle if time doesn’t allow) I also work full time and have other time consuming hobbies that take most of my interest so I don’t want drawing to be my full focus. I used to draw for fun YEARS ago but got sad that after 10 years taking drawing on and off killed any progress I made. Have I made progress myself in the last 100days of this drawing ‘challenge’? Yes in terms of overall confidence and minor quality, but I’m still taking it slow and only drawing my same 3 OCs atm. Some people progress slower (myself included) but who cares? If you enjoy drawing then that’s all that should matter.
I've been drawing seriously for like- wow 4 years now, and looking back, i remember looking at other artists and their artstyle and now, my artstyle is a mix of all of them, and im so happy i didnt give up ♥ And sure i still have room for improvement, like my side profiles, but i am so proud of how my art looks now
I'm going through an art block from 2 years cause of depression but his video bought me to tears and made me wanna draw again even if it was for a day I was happy to draw again for a bit. And maybe I'll continue it when I feel like it again. I'm trying.... but it's just so hard so I'm taking small steps
pls watch to the end (2x speed if you're up for the challenge) to avoid any misunderstandings and please keep comments civil! and if no one's told u recently: i'm proud of all you've achieved 🫵
😮
wawww hi
OK i feel better now after i do this challenge i'm going to cotninue my Tanjiro art 😤

❌ the problem with pewdiepie's art journey
✅ the problem with aspiring artists' mentality
Mentality issue #1 : Calling yourself "inspiring artist" instead of "artist"
@@lun4xx Ah yeah, aspiring xD typo'd
RUclipsr accurately title your videos challenge impossible (gone wrong)
@@MaakaSakuranboThats not how typo works.
As someone going through the "My art sucks" phase, omg is it harder to get past this than it sounds...
I'm in a cycle of feeling stupid, grinding, and then feeling more stoopid because I don't see improvement
When in this state, seeing someone seemingly do the same things as you and improve more is very demotivating and can get you to question your life decisions and thrash around wondering what in the world you did wrong.
oh well hopefully this process is worth it ToT
I think the reason his improvement is so impressive and rapid is because he’s focused on consistency and tackling his weak points. So many casual artists including myself delay learning the basics for years but he’s tackling them straight away! I don’t think him buying an iPad gives him that much of an advantage over most non millionaire artists 😭 he’s just an efficient learner and we all can benefit from following in his footsteps if we can
I think that's why I find videos like his inspiring. Even though I've never been consistent whatsoever and am terrible at tackling my weak points (spent years only drawing from one angle and can't draw other angles) he's showing me what is possible when I do those things. Seeing what is possible inspires me because I have the belief that it can be me too. If you don't have that belief it can turn from inspiring to feeling inadequate.
That is why his work and video is so inspiring he's give me motivation to draw again after stopping for year, he really did make me regret stoping drawing he's amazing
@@y-tiplex me too unfortunately but his first art video made me pretty much fall back in love with art again after not enjoying it thoroughly for a while and it pushed me to finally address my weakest point in art (perspective 💀) and I’m happy I did! Hope he also pushes onwards with art and explores different mediums
@@felixdom9693 I think he mentioned in his video that he always loved art but he wasn’t ready for it until now so don’t kick yourself for stopping when you did because maybe you weren’t ready for it either! You got this
Then I think you completely missed the point of how humans improve in anything
Suppose you are a student in 9th standard, you got good marks in all the subjects except maths , in desperation you started doing maths and hyper focused on it leaving other subjects to be neglected, in your next exam then you will get really good marks in maths but your other subjects will suffer a lot.
In Felix's case if you noticed he hyper focused on making anime faces and faces only , a year long journey of only doing faces everyday in a single style will lead to insane improvements but it will also make you lack in other aspects
In Felix's case though he might have made insane improvements in face drawing of an anime character if you give him to draw a person in perspective with full body proportions and in a more realistic style or heck give him a scenery of any place to draw , chances are whatever he will create will look like it was made by a toddler.
Yes his focus and consistency is commendable but you should consider other factors aswell that gave him such improvements
Hope this helps.
As an artist Felix didn't improve cos he's a millionaire. He improve cos he tried. People make any excuse they want to justify them not trying.
I think the same here
I feel like forcing urself to improve this way though can be very unhealthy for some artists mental health
One of the most discouraging things about learning art is trying and not improving even still. To tell an artist struggling to improve "You're not trying" is not only incorrect, it is wrong.
It is possible to do everything right and still fail. That is life.
@@wegner7036 yeah I have found that through forcing myself to improve it ends up restricting me into a box and restricting my creativity
Imo, Felix's improvement is not only in just trying but he also actively seek out opinions, flaws to fix it in order to improve. He used his own way of thinking with his style of drawing to find improvement within. To me art consist of two thing: The idea from the brain and the hand for the pencil, having both making you an artist and one withour the other just make you someone who enjoy drawing.
I thought the art community was all about encouraging and helping others out? Why are we suddenly bashing on PewDiePie for taking the time out of his day to draw for an entire year?
Envy. It's all envy. If your stuff looks different/worse (its all in the eye of the beholder anyways), you want it to be the same. And if you feel like you cant achieve it, we have that weird brain mechanism to hate on someone cause you dont have what they have. It's not just a drawing thing even! Looks, other skills.. Humans are weird.
It wasn't never about that. 15 years ago I was in one as a teen and they were some of the snarkiest, meanest people I've dealt with. And that says a lot coming from someone who plays competetive games where people rage in chat.
I remember when one group was calling their own art s - t to mope and I said "I think my art is alright, I like it" to just stop from this self pity. This upset some of them so much, they went extra lenghts to call my art crap and all sorts to bring me down lol.
because there's so many theoretical "artists" out there talking about art but never actually picking up a pencil to work on their improvements , and then they wonder why pew improves and they don't while the guy actually sticked to the plan and was concentrated on doing in daily for a dedicated amount of time per day.
@MatijaVuk-z9n not only that he mentions he truly enjoys making art and he states he wishes he started doing it more far sooner.
@@MatijaVuk-z9nAs someone who has been doing art for more than 10 years now - Your comment is the most important one.
I have heard “ I want to start drawing/ I want to learn how to draw” so many times, from people who draw like once a month, it makes me want to vomit.
Plus! People should stop wanting to do art as a “trend”.
People tend to forget that there's a thing called transferible skills. Pewdiepie has 2 important transferible skills from his 10+years as an online personality: perseverance and proper iteration (the ability to find flaws on a product and solve them on the next version).
No one ever learns a new trade from zero...and many people fail to understand this
People just need to be honest on having better bases than others. Kind of obvious with Pewdiepie, but generally people don't admit what supplemtary skills or support they had to get to a point. Admitting them gives a clearer picture of what a person can achieve from truly nothing.
I wouldn't call it a "skill" but a common sense 😅
He also legit did graphic design before Yt like the skills have always been there
Also he’s drawing every single day, most artists have multiple years of experience but have a job or school and can’t draw every day (I know I can’t), this man drew more in a year then I probably did in my entire life, and I’m not saying he’s better at art then me (sure for anime characters he is but I prefer drawing animals and fantasy creatures), but if he was I would fully understand, because he draws every day and I haven’t drawn properly in 3 months
@@crocodil-vw6es you can absolutely draw everyday, all you need is like 30 min tops to get some good focused practice, I for example do a lot of drawing on public transport instead of doom scrolling shorts. Most people's excuses come not from time/money problems but from their own faults like laziness and procrastinating.
As someone who is broke as hell and learning art
I’ve seen massive improvements in the 30 minutes I spend (work breaks) over the past 3 months
You can do it as long as you’re motivated to do so!

@ I only get a 45 minute lunch break and I have to spend that eating as I work from 7am-10pm. Then I have school on top of that.
Your assumption that I don’t put effort in is false.
I’m complaining that simps like you will go to bat for a man who has literally never worked for anything and has had no stress his entire life for having “consistency”.
It’s not impressive to do one thing every day when you’ve don LITERALLY NOTHING for 30 years outside of cost on mommy’s “swedens top CIO of 2010” career and play video games.
My man dropped out of college because “he didn’t like it”
He’s spoiled and y’all really are hyping up no effort Andy
@ so your bending over backwards to discredit a legitimate strategy to improve your art all just to shit on that man?
As you mentioned there’s tons of reasons to shit on him, there’s no need to gatekeep art behind a requirement of being extremely rich in the process.
I think ross said it in a previous video, Pewdiepie has the ability to see precisely what aspects of his art need improving, which is a skill, and others might not be as good at that skill. He tackled his weak points over the course of a year as a recent father and I think the dude deserves props for that. "You can only get this good because youre rich" is cope. Would it be harder if he was working a 9-5 earning shit wage focused on feeding his new kid? Sure. Would it be impossible to dedicate a few minutes each day to his hobby? No, probably not. Be happy for others folks. And focus on your own journeys
Ps those cwassons look amazing, better than my local bakery
Also lets not forget that this is a guy who was uploading daily for YEARS! The discipline you cultivate is everything.
yeah, i know so many who watch 3-4 hours of tv every day after work, if they just take 30min off that every day and focus on something else they would probably see equal progress.
@@lootmaster1337 It's incredibly how some people will spend hours to complain about not having enough time for their "hobby," meanwhile they're spending that time complaining or sitting in a dead discord call doing absolutely nothing.
The thing is with new artists. They rush. They also forget to learn how to observe

Yeah whatever it's like telling yourself "I need to eat less" when you're fat it seems obvious but it hurts more than it helps because you know it but you still can't do it.

I thought sketching on paper was one of the least expensive hobbies for literally anyone
I'm proud that I actually left my house and went to my first-ever Halloween party. I'm a very shy and sheltered person due to my upbringing, but a friend of mine from online said, 'I'm coming to town, and I want to hang out. I know you're afraid, but don't be.' So, I’m happy I got that life experience. I still struggle with social anxiety
Ok cool keep it up
Keep it up
same
I bet you did amazing, well done.
As a person who had severe social anxiety, I applaud you 👏
I started to get out of my bubble when I was around 16-17, and let me tell you, while it’s difficult at first it does get easier, of course it takes a while so don’t expect changes too soon if you continue to take small steps out your comfort zone.
And while I’m definitely way more social and confident now, it doesn’t mean I’m suddenly not anxious anymore, I’m still a little shy and get a little nervous asking people for things, setting up hangouts, and phone calls are the bane of my existence. But I’m definitely more happy than I was before.
Don’t give up, and don’t force yourself either, sometimes giving yourself breaks from social interactions is a good thing, it allows your brain to relax and recharge. I wish you luck for the future 🍀👍
I’m proud at the fact. I’m 40,000 words into my novel and getting close to completing it and moving on to the sequel.
Congratulations!
Are you willing to share the novel anywhere?? I'd love to give it a read
that's so nice, congratulations
Congratulations!

By their own logic, the sailor moon creator would be absolutely hated on considering she was extremely successful in her life and rich before she even picked up to draw and make manga.
@@TheHipisterDeer a girl who worked and studied to become a pharmacist to support herself while she worked to break into the manga industry is not even remotely comparable to a dude who was born into money and spent 20 years playing video games because he had no other ambition and then decided to get into drawing because he was bored after doing literally nothing for years
Even funnier if you consider she is married with Togashi lmao

Riiight, exactly.
@@RealityRogue it’s quite literally all documented on RUclips.
I think you are missing the point. It's just easier for wealthy people to learn a skill. It's not about how he acquired said wealth but how being wealthy puts him in a better position to learn new skills. For example, if Batman were not wealthy. Do you think he would've been able to dedicate as much time as he did to acquire all the skills he traveled the world to learn?

Thanks to Pewdiepie I got inspired to start drawing again after essentially giving up on it, and I am so glad I got back to it because I finally enjoy art again
Samreeee🎉🎉🎉
I was looking for a comment like this, I feel this video is rather encouraging for these people (like me) who gave up on art just because "success is not a straight line". And also don't have the discipline to practice every day. Something SamDoesArt always says is "Trust the process", which I consider is one of the best Art advice for beginners because we tend to be very perfectionist and try to do the little details on things that shouldnt have that much detail and get lost, bored in the same drawing just because you want the result to be perfect, turns out that if you keep doing that, you'll most likely have no result at all.
I also feel inspired. I know nothing about art, but always wanted to try game dev (I have a lot of the other skills, like programming and musicianship and perhaps storytelling), but always felt held back because I thought I would never be able to create my own game art assets. Still, I'm looking to learn and to have some fun with it you know, and keep things simple.
I started to sew a lot of clothing lately.
I'm not a great seamstress, but I keep improving every week, and recieving compliments on your clothes when you made them yourself feels crazy cool
Me too!! I made Ren Faire costumes for my family (7 people including myself) and while it was super stressful at times, working on so many different pieces for so many different body types helped me to learn A LOT!! I’m working on a winter coat for myself next. It’s my dream coat and while it’s a bit intimidating, I know that if I stick with it I’ll be able to get it done in a way I’m happy with. Happy sewing!!
Aaah, sewing is dope! I've been getting into DIY customisation with old clothes recently. It can be a little scary sometimes e.g. trying to unsew a patch without poking holes, but the results are good enough and it feels good when you know you made it yourself.
The old lady who runs the local fabric shop is always complaining that people don't sew anymore. Let's prove her wrong!
Thats awesome🎉
I found your channel through a random decision to download xiaohongshu, found a reupload of your “trying tutorials from different countries” video! And honestly I’m genuinely obsessed.

@chrismedcare9126 Hi.my close friend wanna start writing (and did it a lot) but he often drop or change story.can u give some advices or maybe link to some videos, that can help him?
Same!
Envy can be both a blessing and a curse, but unfortunately in most cases, it ruins a person's perspective on everything and themselves.
It can become a blessing when you can channel your envy toward others’ efforts, talents, or achievements and have clarity on how to direct that envious feeling. So, it's on you on how you'll manage your own enviousness.
The question is, will you use it to sabotage/mock the person you envy? Will you turn it inward and sabotage yourself, believing you’ll never catch up instead?
OR will you try to have it inspire you, motivating you to reach, or even better, surpass their level one day without harming anyone, including yourself?
It's not easy, i know, but please for God sake stop putting others down or pity yourself too much over their achievement/talent. Raise up your ego but also be humble, don't be spiteful with your "idol" either.
Add: One more thing to say, everyone's have different life situation, learning capability, and spare times. So please, please, PLEASE DON'T pressure into yourself to draw everyday and get same results like Felix too much either! The last thing you want is getting burnout or worse, you may finally fed up with drawing.
To be frank, I use Envy as a motivator! It makes me want to get a certain trait or skill for me to push myself to go further to get to my desired level.
It’s not hard for me to stay positive about the whole thing, but like you said it’s not the same for everyone (hence the blessing and a curse). One day I’ll be able to get to the levels of some cool artists I followed / subscribed for a long time, so I think that’ll be really cool to have my art out there alongside other cool drawings!
I’ve got some owed art lingering around for a bit but after i get that done I’ll finally get myself focused to start practicing properly :)
kanade pfp!
If it is used to inspire, envy is turned into awe and admiration and is no longer envy. It goes from a negative emotion to a positive one.
But yeah, as a non-artist, who wants to try it for fun and for a pet project, I feel inspired by Felix. He makes me believe it's possible to improve with discipline and a good mindset.
@@beomkaslana there is absolutely nothing inspiring about a man who was born into riches, got richer playing video games and has finally decided after 30 years to put minimal effort into something for the first time.
There is not one single problem with his art journey. God forbid someone has a hobby
Ppl who critizice... no, who undermine and try to give themselves a bump by saying "he is rich, he has time" just forgot that Pewds has what most of artist and new gen doesn't have (not their fault, our society has evolve to a "fast results" world) DISCIPLINE.
my boy uploaded videos every single day for more than ten years, whereas you liked his content or not, his perseverance put him where he is now today. those 111M subs werent given, he earned them by grinding every single day, nonstop. So ofcourse he would get better and better if you are practicing an hour or less a day. He didn't go to any art school, he just read drawing book and watch youtube tutorials.
I don't know why we, humans, try to make other ppl less so we can still feel ok withourselves, is dumb and mediocre. If you want to overcome Felix, practice.more, study more, see what are your errors, maybe that drawing style isn't for you, maybe is that.
An example, I realize that even though I loved German, I sucked at that language, but I realize that Japanese was more of thing, and after three years I reached the N3 or that I sucked at drawing and modeling, but i was good at paiting chocolate, and designing chocolate. you have to be able to step back and say "maybe this isn't for me... but what about this!" that's what life is about. giving your time, taking your time and press fowards and dont giving up because "someone is richer and has more time to practice"
also, those croissants look puffy puffy, delicious delicious.
It’s incredibly easy to have discipline when you have no real responsibilities or stresses in your life.
Ah nah your right I’m just lazy, working 70 hours a week and sleeping 4-5 hours a night is just being undisciplined if I really wanted it I would cut back to 3 hours of sleep to grind that drawing.
@@matthall7359 if you have to work 70 hours a week to make a livable wage, you need to rethink you're living arrangements or job before worrying about drawing and getting mad at people online for not breathing at the same rate you do
@@matthall7359 Well it falls down to priority and commitment doesn't it? For you, you have other commitments in life, whereas pews has gone past those commitments (except family i guess). That still doesn't give people the right to undermine the effort someone has put into something. To be good at something, you have to sacrifice time for that something right? So if you really want to grind that drawing, then sacrifice some of those hours, if you can't then that's just where you life is currently. In the future that may or may not change. So I really don't get the hate people are giving this
@ no one is undermining the amount of effort it takes, people are pointing out the actual amount of effort it takes in his position is absolutely minuscule compared to most people. And no, being dedicated to something and showing up for it every day isn’t hard when you have no responsibilit.
@@matthall7359 And? Just because you don't have time for it, others who do must follow your pace? Is this applicable only to things you're interested in, or do we have to follow your pace in everything?
I’ve recently been proud of myself for first of all, drawing more traditionally and finding my artstyle, second of all, reaching out to my friends whenever I feel bad! I didn’t used to do it that much but now I do it almost every time I feel bad and it’s so refreshing :3

I'm proud of myself for finally getting another piano after moving! I found one close by on fb marketplace and drove a uhaul for the first time, it was really scary and tiring. Then I opened up the piano and got all the keys working again by watching a bunch of youtube videos. :) much love, this video makes me want to start drawing again!
I get why people talk about the "being rich" part. It is not only about being able to afford materials or having a bit more free time. It is about having peace of mind. If you are financially set for life, you know all your family's most basic needs are taken care of forever. Food, housing, healthcare, education, etc. The burden of being productive for those reasons is lifted. You can finally simply enjoy the process. Enjoy the failures, the challenge of learning and that makes a lot of difference. When you have responsabilities that are weighing in your mind, it is hard to simply feel free to devote yourself fully to a hobby project that doesn't bring any financial/professional advances.
It's a lot easier to focus on drawing and improving your craft when you have 8-10 extra hours of free time a day and don't have to cram that learning time in with the other myriad of things you have to do when you "aren't working."
Thank you for explaining this way more concisely than I tried to haha.
I don't see how PewDiePie or antone who is privileged should have to bear the front of people's envy regardless of how privilege affects the journey. Regardless of that you gotta make do with what you have, inferiority complexes won't get people anywhere.
(I just wanted to add this so people know it's okay to feel things that are ugly as envy and jealousy, but definitely not okay to push onto others)
This isnt true at all. I mean, it is if you let yourself think like this. But not only is it unhealthy to think like this, but it also hinders your ability to progress foreward. Most people who cant progress will have this mindset. Im not rich, do i sit there and dwell on that and pity myself? Do i sit there and let that control how i think of myself and my life? No i move on and tackle things one at a time. Because i know logically, as you do and everyone rlse, that your accessibility to certain things does not equate talent or progression. Theres nothing stopping one progressing with theor drawing as long as they have something to draw with and something to draw on, it does not have to be expensive. People need a better mentality towards themselves and rheir work, they need confidence. Too many people like in this video and this comment, are too insecure about their work, and instead of realising they need to keep trying, they just say bs like “its cuz i cant have peace of mind cuz i dont have an expensive ipad like pewdiepie” yeah no
Yall needa stop with this ridiculous victim mentality. There are many people out there who have become amazing artists with barely anything, and trying to say you cant improve unless your rich is not only silly but disrespectful to those people. Likewise theres people who are rich and cant draw for shi, even after trying hard.
I personally taught myself to draw when I was 11 with nothing but a 1 dollar pencil and a 2 dollar school book. I drew at school every single day. I went from barely being able to draw a stick figure, to realistic dragons and monsters, in days. When I went camping and lost my art book and pencils and couldnt afford to replace them, I spent each day drawing with a rock on the cement path. Its called hard work, not pitying onself qnd tryna project your struggles onto random people just because they have more money than you and you’re jealous of them.
A real artist can draw anything with whatever they have available to them, a stick and patch of dirt? A rock and some cement? A stick and a tree? Your finger and some sand? Mud and the ground? Yes, yes and yes, all yes. That is what art is.
@@bransonallen2925i can definitely agree that spare time could affect your ability to draw and improve

@@vouxess correct young one.
Is 4-7 times to much
Legit watching Felix's art journey vids are so comforting and so relatable. It's inspiring to see how far someone can go in a short amount of time cuz it's proof that our practice will result in *something.* He described his thought process and what he did throughout his journey and literally it's stuff that I've thought about, that any artist I know has thought about. He looked back on his art and said how it was bad, he should've drawn the face more like this/that. He went through the crisis of omg i'm drawing the same thing I SHOULD DRAW SOMETHING DIFFERENT. He thought about how he needed to improve in coloring or drawing bodies.
And yet people heard this and thought he improved because he's a millionaire. okay.
People tend not to realize that Pewds already had a background in graphic design, and while I'm not saying it's *the* reason he's so good so quickly, it helps a lot. Food for thought.
Even he in the video doesn’t recognize that knowing techniques of what looks good helps. Like he addresses it in the video but super downplays it. It is different so I understand that but the concepts apply
If you had a background in graphic design you'd know it's not.
Most graphic designers can't draw at all. All they do is trace composites, basically what AI does now.
I took the two semesters of figure drawing, only drawing instruction provided in the whole major, along only 12/98 of my generation and we were constantly told we were wasting our time by other professors.
@ I have a feeling that’s down to you as a person, as I’ve also taken courses and I’ve done work for other people, with results different to your own. Understanding color theory and composition are required for both graphic design and drawing, to make things look good. Furthermore, if you’ve only taken two semesters, that’s not enough for the practical application. Saying you took classes but did nothing with it outside of class won’t translate into skills generally speaking because that’s not enough time. That’s a pretty common and (in my opinion) bad argument that a lot of people like to make. On the tracing side of it- that can be used to learn but it’s not how you should be doing things forever. If you constantly trace, you won’t learn the skills needed until much later, if at all. Your experience is valid, but at the same time it sounds like you’re trying to paint a picture of things being one way when there’s more nuance involved. You might try going out and learning more before writing a comment that lacks understanding of what I’m speaking about. Hope you have a good day.
Not all practice is the same practice. There's very solid science behind this called deliberate practice. I hope people realize that genetics aren't that big of a factor.
Learning is a skill on its own (which you can improve at). Some people are better at it than others, which will result in different progress rates. Keeping in mind also that background and experience with various things play into it (although this is harder to quantify if said experience is not immediately obvious how its related to the skill in question).
Yep. That’s what my applied music class teaches. Consistent, deliberate practice is a big part of improving.
People keep talking about this, but never actually Explain WHAT the fuck deliberate practice is, so please someone explain
@LuthfiRafsanjani reading the original paper is a good place to start "The role of deliberate practice in the acquisition of expert performance." By Ericsson K et al 1993. Just keep in mind that it's still an ongoing research area so it's not like its fully understood yet. But it has been shown that meeting certain conditions (outlined in the study) do yield much better results more consistently.
I've done some personal exploration on the topic. So I can share my experience if you want. But I do suggest you read the paper first anyway.
@@raizan1526 Is deliberate practice just basically being mindful of what you're studying or observing? I think I've entered that state of mind a few times. Key thing is to just get into a calm mental state and just focus on learning. Key thing is to also eliminate any distractions during this time. Including spending 20 minutes trying to find the "right music" or something, lol.
Honestly, I'm proud of Felix, he's doing what he loves & I do envy him for that. I wish I had his mindset cause I'm definitely a bit toxic when I compare my art with someone else's.
On another note, I hope everyone has a great day! Happy drawing!
"its unfair that he's good and better than me. its because he's rich because there's no way" that doesn't sound silly to yall?
It isn't necessarily true, but isn't wrong neither.
Him being rich didn't buy him skill. But it did huy him free time. Something many can't afford, especially in the current economy.
@@eegernades let’s also keep in mind he didn’t have to get rich, he started rich as his parents are both corporate officers, his mom was top CIO in Sweden in 2010. Bro has had nothing but free time forever and after 30 years finally decided “I guess I should try to do something of value”
And you want me to clap?
@@matthall7359 did not know that.
I will refrain from commenting on that, as my response was prior to his benefit, he has to vastly improve in art compared to everyone else. Surprisingly, I noticed a complete lack of discussion of his benefit of free time compared to everyone else.
@ I think that’s really more the crux of the issue here.
Is that most people severely underestimate what they’re capable with hard work and dedication. Felix’s art is impressive and his growth it’s a little nutty but most people could also jump leaps and bounds in a similar timeframe they just don’t have the resources to completely throw themselves at just 1 thing.
Yes it sounds silly, just look at the responses given in this comment and on some others comments (yes, I'm talking about you, y'know who you are 😉), people coping hard and being so shut in their own worlds, finding any possible excuse to either still bash/undermine pewds, or to somehow blame money (or even rich people in some cases)
I could understand such responses from children, since well, they are children... but c'mon, teenagers and specially adults acting like this, fam? dang, it's sad
Something im proud of myself for is for a while ive been a little down and maybe not fully depressed but close to getting there. I had negative thoughts all the time, wasnt motivated to do anything, i didnt eat much, i cried a lot... and i just wasnt as cheerful and bright like i used to be. But i realized this, i recognized it, and i made small steps to try to improve my everyday mood. I took plenty of rest, and asked myself for what i want and need. I also confided in a lot of friends, and made some big changes in my life like moving to a new place to refresh my environment. I also searched up info about therapy, though i didnt get to actually going to one (if i needed it i definitely would have). I asked myself and listened to myself, and soon i definitely felt better and im a lot happier these days. I also reduced drastically the amount of mental power i used to spend on a toxic friendship. Its too fast to say for sure im completely better now, but im still so proud of myself for recognizing i was going in a downwards spiral and actively trying to get myself out even though it was difficult. Im glad I was in a state to get myself out of it.
the guy show a talent for drawing and is happy doing it... and people are COMPLAINING???
I will need your artist license. you don't deserve it
I mean, he worked hard, not just talent.
Skill, you mean?
I complain about the complaining poople
@@YoursTrulyYami Exactly, talent and hard-work are two different things. Being a good artist whomst is naturally able to create something with little effort would be talent. Hard-Work is in the name. (Also, I feel as if many people are mistaken. The argument that Pewds succeed's as he's more accustomed is false. I don't believe people are truly mad at his art, rather his ethic to prevail, not letting progress abate is difficult. I very sparsely draw and blame myself for it, yet I'm not a hypocrite.)
@@YoursTrulyYami not really hard work to draw a bit every day when you literally have no responsibility or stress or job
8:29 in all do respect it doesn’t take a lot of money to get a pencil and paper, I know everyone’s financial situations are different but that is the minimum in art. WHAT DID HE START WITH?! Pencil and paper so stop deflecting your lesser growth and get inspired (not to the creator of this video loving the video but to the twitter comments ❤😊)
I tried doing the art challenge and was drawing every day for a while, and I did see improvement, but I got bored with the tutorials and stopped, then felt like a failure. The thing is... what I did put the time and consistency into was my sewing. I make costumes for cosplay and sew clothes, and I am so much better than when I started! Its okay to not be a drawing person. You can still find a craft that speaks to you!
I'm loving the positive vibes in this video hehe. To answer your question, recently I had this singing competition which I ended up getting an A+ for! I was honestly super happy and emotional about it because in the past few singing competitions, I felt like I had just been doing worse and worse. Honestly, my advice is that whatever you're passionate about, do it with confidence and don't be disheartened by failures or mistakes every now and then.
I moved from drawing human figures that just don't make sense to understanding the orientation of the body parts and actually putting what I percieve out on paper. It's so amazing and wonderful, like magic. I'm so proud of myself ❤❤❤
im proud of you too :D
@aminaredz Thanks ❤️
It seems as though a lot of artists may just be trying to hard without finding new ways to improve or using different methods in their work, with diversity in how you perceive and create objects or people comes experience. Try every art style you can from geometric to fluid to line art to borderless, sure you can eventually make good faces if that’s all you draw but learning and improving means pushing your boundaries. I just started sketching yesterday after 10 years of inactivity and MAN ITS HARD! But it’s so rewarding when a project starts to come together and you can visualize the end result. I used to always be discouraged from art because of my color blindness and because of my adhd which affects how I visualize images mentally but now I’m leaning into my strengths, I’m practicing basic geometry, building muscle memory, learning perspective, but I also try to free hand objects I see in the world and then look back at previous pages and make annotations on what I learned, how I could do “better” etc… it’s a mental game of perseverance and creativity, if you feel as though you’re struggling, maybe you are, but that’s OK! Struggling and pushing boundaries is how we gain confidence and progress is not a straight line, it’s a winding road with valleys plateaus and cliffs
I really love the journey that he had to go through and I kinda relate for drawing for over 2 years since 2022. It's just slower for me cuz I sometimes slack off or giving myself an excuse like studying for school but I will try to change that in my 20s. I'm going to improve like pewds ever did
I am probably most proud of my recent crochet project (a beanie) since I am new to it ❤
Keep goin dude !! :'3
(crocheting is so fun tbhh)
Thats awesome! I started with beanies too and was super intimidated to crochet clothing. I finally took the plunge last year and made a sweater. I would highly recommend giving it a try. Making clothes is so much fun!! There are some awesome video tutorials for sweaters that don’t require you to purchase a pattern

I continued my journey of learning Japanese this September, after stopping during the early stages of the pandemic. I've been doing well, except recently I've been really busy with uni so I had to halt (this was after learning the JLPT N5 kanji and their most commonly used readings). I was scared I would forget them, but I did a brush-up this week and I'm so happy I still remember them. Life just happens, and I think people need to acknowledge that so that they can stop beating themselves over it!
im proud of me
🎉
Good for you.
im proud of you too
And I am not proud of myself
You‘re alive, that’s enough
Something I’m really proud of is my art. Seeing other people art motivates me to try different styles and techniques. I love drawing people avatars because sometimes I have ZERO idea what to draw. I’m no where near Picasso but showing my improvement in just a year is so cool and I can’t wait till next year and see what else I can draw!
The hardest part for me is that inert feel of jealousy I feel whenever I watch someone else's progress.
I feel like I have to be just as good if not better in the same time span.
This sucks all the joy out of me. It sucks.
Yea same, part of why i unfortunately stopped. And I kinda stopped enjoying it, it stresses me out.
I started drawing with more thought and consideration around 2015, so it’s been almost an entire decade of my art journey (I’m both traditional and digital). I’m personally more closer to a comic artist in terms of vibe compared to an illustrator, but I am proud of my journey in learning different styles, features, anatomy, rendering techniques… I’m comfortable enough to whip up a silly but thoughtful artwork on a whim, which is something I had strived for for a very long time. And honestly, it’s okay for me to take almost 10 years just to achieve this state. I’m not perfect either! And I want to do more! It’s everyone’s goal to keep improving no matter what, and I wish you all good luck, and especially, have lots of fun drawing!
Don’t know how well it translates, but I’ve had a similar experience. I’ve been a DM for dnd my whole life, but there was a year after 5th edition launched that I was obsessed with learning the rules and upping my world building/narrative skills. I was so passionate and it led to some legendary campaigns. I have never ran a game as good since, and there was a period where campaigns would die, as I’d seen them not worthy. Eventually my buddy was like, “stop, they don’t need to be like that game, and we’d like to finish a campaign again!!!” Since then I’ve accepted it, and it has been so much more relaxed and rewarding.
I am super super proud of a bag ,a mesh bag that I crocheted recently and super thank you for this video because one hour ago I was thinking and being sad about my slow progress after seeing other crocheters having a lot of progress in such short time and I am having such a short progress in a long time but after watching this video I think that slow progress is still progress
Be proud you even finished, most of my chrochet projects aren`t even finished 😅
@@Lisette-r6zI believe that everything you have crocheted till this day is soo good
6:40 he's richer than many of us and still had to go through the artist canon event(tm) so it really is not the matter of being rich
That is literally so ridiculous that some people think that you need to be rich in order to be good at art?! Like, what part of that is supposed to make any sense?!! Even if you are rich, you still have to draw with your hands right? How is that any different than being poor?
I don't know why people blame it on how rich he is. Everyone has access to the same resources he uses. If they can type on twitter, they can use the same apps. It's not like he has all the time in the world, he has a family to tend to.
@@yungeggrollbecause time is the actual resource that rich people have over everyone else. They get to dictate how their time is spent, compared to the rest of the 8 billion people on earth who have their time also dictated by the rich until they die.
@@Vanity0666 yea but how much time did he spent on drawing
@@itsjustvin7630 it was around 10 mins to 2 hours per day on average
While I admit that I maybe did some self-comparison when seeing his work, if anything, it's just reminding me that I should probably practice more. I'm a game dev and have been doing art my whole life, but I admittedly feel like I've stagnated in some ways, so his progress is really just telling me that I should work more consistently and try to focus on the things I need to improve on.
Girrrl I don't know what you do to me but you literally my favorite RUclipsr ever
!! thank you so much :'D
I feel that each drawing is like a gasha style game, you can get one very good SSR, others more or less R, etc. The important thing is to enjoy the process and you are right viyaura, we should not compare ourselves with others nor with ourselves, because at the end of the day we tend to be very hard on ourselves and the path in things is not linear, it has its ups and downs.
To tell you the truth I am having a hard time switching to that switch, especially dealing with depression and my adhd (I am in treatment), but I know I can get through it 💕
Don't give up, go ahead and enjoy the drawing process ^w^
My cope has now shifted from "no way I could improve from zero as fast as he did" to "no way I could have the same passion he does"
I'm proud of overall my consistency on my Hobbies and especially Art, the way I completed inktober even tho I didn't exactly love the prompts. It's sometimes hard seeing all the amazing people online and feeling like you are just lesser but tbh I felt a lot better recently. Just Look at your own journey, we will all get there, some just later than others but it doesn't matter. Keep going everyone! ❤
I came up with my own prompts and did Drawtober, instead of "inktober" because of the whole Jake parker thing, and how much of a clown his ass is., but I specifically drew eyes, and came up with a palette challenge, anime eyes, but the palettes are based on flowers.
@naraku971 Thats so awesome!
Hey Viyaura, beginner here. I wanna say I'm really inspired by your videos. You give off that awesome "Art is Fun" vibe that I feel no one else really does (except for Orb, ofc. edit: and Wondernat!!). I just wanna thank you so much for giving new wannabe artists like Your Highness🤚tips on how to draw, colour and so much more. :)
just finished my first internship & i developed super much as a future professional and im very proud, i think i left a lasting impact on the kids i worked with
The difference is not the pure time. It is the time relative to our days. If you are rich, you have all time in the world and don’t need to rush it. (Good headspace)
You can also draw well rested, in your most productive hours. Users have to work, study or go to school. After that you are maybe tired or have to do more things.
Sure, everyone can draw 30min a day. But how productive these are can very a lot
Nah I work 8 hours a day 6 days a week manual labor, and drive my girlfriend to work and back every day on top of that, with a two-hour total commute. I am improving at a similar rate to Felix regardless, probably would be quicker if I exclusively stuck to anime girls like him (I like to draw castles and monsters and turtles as well as anime girls)
Basically what I'm trying to say is, in spite of my seasonal depression, addiction issues, poverty and lack of (good headspace) time, I can still do it. You can too, drop the excuses, persevere and stop lying to yourself with self-doubt
@ That’s great. I’m very happy for you 🫶.
I have no self doubt. I just want to broader the perspective. And just because you can still focus on drawing in a hard week that you describing doesn’t mean that everyone could do that. The next person could be completely overwhelmed with your work week alone. We all have different energy levels.
But the point I’m making still holds. If your week wasn’t that hard, your improvements would be even greater.
I have similar issues. By me it’s caused by to much stress from ADHD. I make great progress, that’s not the point. But if I’m completely overwhelmed after a hard day, I can’t focus on ANYTHING. Regardless of what my interest is.
And maybe your manual labor job helps you here. I used to work in manual labor too and could still concentrate after a hard day. Now I’m a programmer and after a long day of concentration, focusing becomes hard. Sport is not.
Anyway, to much text. I wish you great success with your anime girls, fighting monster-turtles in castles ✌️

Y’all I think they like chuuya…
Just a guess 🤔
I got my piano diploma after around 7 years of learning piano. I’m proud of what I’ve achieved, but also scared of how fast I’m losing this skill now that I don’t have the exams to keep me motivated to practice. I struggle with self-discipline, and seeing how fast my skill is declining compared to how long it took to build up is really scary..
The only problem with pewds art journey is the people that hate on it because he’s earned every penny he’s made.
Being born into a great country, with lots of social safety nets, AND having parents high up in the corpo ladder does not equal earning every penny lmao.
@@MaxDunk not even high up in the corporate ladder, his mom was named top CIO of Sweden in 2010
Bro has done nothing his entire life and got even richer playing video games for children because he had literally nothing else to do with his life.
Bro is a literal NEET that was just smart enough to record himself NEETing and everyone acts like he’s some god of work ethics.
I’m happy bro has applied himself to an actual skill for the first time in over 30 years but I’m not gonna be impressed or act like it’s even a minor accomplishment.
@@matthall7359 because that's what NEET do - sell hot dogs to support themselves, yeah.
OMGGG VIYAURA YOU'RE A BSD FAN?? AND EVEN BETTER,A CHUUYA FAN?? 🔥🔥
On my knees for Chuuya🧎♀️❤️🥹
I’ve been drawing since I could pick up a pencil. So I’ve been drawing my entire live, about 14 years. I thought I was good, until I found you and how you only have been drawing for a few years. That hurt because you are so much better than me. But it also is motivating me to get better.
I love how viyaura posts more often now
Don't apologize for repeating the "I've been drawing everyday for three years" thing, cause it inspired me to also try drawing every day.
one of the biggest things i learnt in the last few months as i started to get back into art again is to learn how to take a step back and look at my art as an overall image. When i would draw before, I very rarely ever finished anything, and very very rarely happy with the art i created. I would rage quit halfway through because it wasn't looking exactly how i envisioned it to look in my head. But something clicked and i guess i learnt how to take a step back and look at my art as one concrete thing. Because we're the ones to draw it, we always see every single mistake, every liine thats a little off, and we find ourselves looking at all the little details of the things we did wrong, the things that aren't perfect. But when you look at someone elses art, you see it as a full image. Rarely do you see the small details straight away, and when you do, you don't really think of them as mistakes or anything overly bad, its just a quirk of the art. Learning to look at my art that way, from that outside perspective, really helped.
Also that one part when you talk about how you wanted to start drawing more girls, so you did, but still drew a lot of boys because that's what you're comfortable with? I think thats actually very important to talk about. Because if someone is really really desperate to improve, they might feel like they *have* to always be studying, always be pushing themselves, always trying new things so they can learn, but thats how you burn yourself out. It's ok to draw the things you like and are comfortable for fun. And it doesn't mean you can't still learn through those things too. Like i've been learning animation, and yes, the bouncing ball drill is very good for learning a lot of the principles of animation, and i have done it, however i have also done lots of other small animations that were fun, related to my other interests, and so while they weren't the bouncing ball drill, I was still having fun, and learning little things along the way. Was I learning as fast as I could have if i had just stuck to all the drills from the get-go, only doing bouncing balls and walk cycles and head turns until they were all perfect? Of course not, but was it a fun time, getting to make these little animations and feel accomplished while doing so? Absolutely. There's no one right way to do things, and while study is important and likely will help you see a great improvement in your art, if it doesn't bring you joy, then its not worth spending too long on. Let yourself have fun in between the studies. Let yourself have fun while you study. Art is not meant to burn you out and make you feel bored,, its not meant to feel like a chore. It's meant to be fun. So let yourself have fun.
I've accepted at this point that I'm not going to become a great artist tomorrow. I've accepted that I will probably always see my art as looking awkward or "off" in some way, regardless of whether it is or isn't. But for me its not about creating perfectly beautiful art, it's about telling a story. That's where my true passion lies. So while It may take me ages to draw a single panel of the webcomic i'm working on, and it probably still won't look perfect by the end, all that matters is that i'm getting the story i want to tell across.
Anyway, that was a long pretentious ramble lol.
1:50 did anyone see the chuuya Nakahara,,
2:50 Absolutely! I heard Pikat give the opposite advice which really grinded my gears. Doing the same slowed down his progress 1000% i can say that as an artist myself. I developed my hand control, lineart and colors but i didnt practice anatomy and proportions enough so now its super easy to spot in my artworks.
In which video did she say that? In one of her recent videos, she emphasizes how drawing different things helps to improve
@@aperson6562 it was a very recent reaction to pewd's video that she uploaded. she said that FUN comes before fundamentals and that if he's enjoying drawing the same anime girls he'll want to keep drawing cuz it's what makes him happy.
Since the year 2021, the fun in drawing just kind of died out for me. I tried to come back to drawing multiple times in the past few years, but just couldn't get into it as much as I used to.
PewDiePie's journey was really inspiring. So, I try to just take things one small step at time. I shouldn't be forcing myself to become who I was before immediately.

Did Pewds just filter the art community without even knowing or intending to?! That's so based.
I'm not that kind of artist but taking on good habits while learning, pointing out issues and experimenting helped me so much. I'll also admit I've done it for 4 years almost everyday, avoiding comparison as much as possible or only focusing on people at the same level as me. Most of all, what's been helping me is the fact I LOVE what I do. I dabbled in other stuff beforehand and I've noticed it's helped as well!
The only issue with Pewdiepie's progress is the envy it evokes in the art community. Most of us found time to do any and everything we wanted as children. Now that we are adults, we no longer display the same time management. If you want to grow, practice with intention and do it consistently. The only shortcut is learning from others.
0:45 no he is laughing because he was going to list all the emotions he just claimed he has and the only one he could think of was "happy" , the most basic emotion there is 😭
are you happy with your finished art?
Okay lil bro
just wanted to say as someone who used to watch A LOT of him between 2013-2017, i noticed that he was just naturally good at drawing. its really no shock to me that hes this good when i watched him make really good doodles as an amateur years ago
I am most proud of my costume that I made: which is an OC I made and I made a cardboard chainsaw and painted it! 10:21
i am proud of finally taking the leap to start sketching traditional. Ive for many years avoided it and seeing it as a big scary monster. But since late in summer ive started drawing traditional and gone on walks and not felt the pressure of making something perfect. and i feel its helped me a lot with my style and vibe.
Hope its going well for whoever is reading this. You doing great!!!
I used to be really artistic in high school but because of some events, I stopped drawing entirely or doing anything creative. It wasn't until recently that I was like... I'm losing my creativity, I need to do something again. So I took up sewing! I recently just made a quilt for my friend's baby and a nice warm blanket for my Grandma for Christmas. It felt good to make something with my hands again!
OMG FINALY 2 VIDEOS IN ONE WEEK🎉
My digital art journey (is on RUclips) I think is terrible so I stick with paper/physical art (isn't on RUclips because I don't know how to record that without a tripod) then I realized I'm not recording stuff for RUclips which end's with a spiral of stress so this video especially that quote "life is too short to hate yourself" helps me in a way
Thank you Viy
I do feel like with digital I have less easy line control somehow, but I can't really tell why. Maybe just the digital input being more precise than a normal pencil or something.
So maybe I fI tried a super micro tip pencil on a small piece of paper it would be similar
Fr, I been trying to shift to digital drawing as a traditional artist, but my style looks nasty…🥲😤😞
Art progress is just pure randomness, one moment you could pass through any obstacles and another you just cannot work through them.
Sometimes when you try to improve it's very easy (usually being at early stage)
And I couldn't even draw a proper human body (its just basic shapes like circles and squares etc) 5 years ago
I’ve been on a knitting journey myself and I feel a lot of the same emotions. I’m so so proud of how far I’ve come, but I think i forced myself to jump to far ahead at one point. After knitting a lot of socks and deciding I wanted to get into knitting clothing, I jumped into a raglan lace cardigan with beautiful sleeves, but no matter what, I couldn’t get the lace pattern right on the hem. After some talks with knitters online, I decided to go back to a simple stockinette sweater with garter stitch panels, a really easy pattern, but still pretty in its own way. I enjoyed knitting it so much that it boosted my confidence again. I discovered that there’s so much beauty in learning the basics ❤
7:56 Time no 9-5 to drain your soul kinda helps a lot
Yeah its not about the money, its the time
Its way more about what you value using your time for and deciding what is worth using your free time after work for than it is about the time itself. It's possible to not have any free time after work for sure, I won't act like I know you have time, but if you do literally anything that you don't HAVE to do but want to do when you get home then you could just draw instead if you choose to. Anyone who really WANTS to improve at something is going to be able to put time aside to do so instead of watching yt or whatever.
So, Im proud for keeping my streak with drawing everyday for a while now and im so grateful for this kind of videos, reminding that the comparison and competition habit is not the best choice. Ive been struggling with keeping myself consistent, losing motivation and completely shuttering my self worth and the worth of my art. Thats why im happy that there are people like you that give us that little reassurance that we sometimes lack. Thank you!
HOW IS HE SO GOOD AFTER ONE YEAR? I’ve been drawing every like other day for 4 years…
Edit: I started a war, oops…
You’re doing great. Remember he’s a millionaire that can afford high end resources that normal people can’t.
@@angeredotter738to be fair, he was just drawing on paper until recently. I don't think it's fair to just dismiss 100% of his progress.
HOWEVER, it is true that he has a lot of free time and less responsibilities currently. Which probably makes it indeed easier to focus on art and not stress over outside forces (like school, work, etc). He is also older (35) and that can definitely affect one's mentality on the process of learning etc.
At the end, the most important thing is to not compare your art journey to anyone else's. Compare you current art to your old art. That's the type of comparison that really matters
@@angeredotter738he’s literally drawing on paper with a pencil for the first 300 days 😭 the coloring isn’t even a big purchase either because as long as you learn how to color you can get the same effect with cheaper markers.
@@angeredotter738 Ugh, stop with this mindset with him having money you can't grow as much as him. Its toxic and unwanted.
@@angeredotter738 to use money as a reason for his progress is a cop out for you to feel better about yourself , his resources arent high end many artists have them hes not getting some exclusive ultra progress inducing tech , hes sketching for like an hour a day . hes got a kid and a job he doesnt have infinite time
3 vids in 1 week Viyaura! GJ!
The fact that ive drawn for about 6years now and PewDiePie is already a head of my skill in year really motivate me to be more serious about my art skills since my skill hasnt grown since last 4years
A viyaura vid and some snacks lets go!
am i the only one who did not compare own drawings to his ? maybe i just dont care as mutch
Actually as an artist myself, it depends on your confidence. When i started to draw, i insanely sucked. it looked deformed. the neck was like a giraffe, no sholders, weirdly shaped eyes etc. i was super demotivated but eventually i started to like it. i kept on drawing, no matter how weird it was, as long as i was happy with it. Whenever id try to show others or my classmates, they would be really disgusted or start lying. so to avoid getting disheartened, i stopped showing them. It became my personal enjoyment. soon i wanted more progress so i started using tutorials for a few days untill i was ready myself. ill admit, the first attempt wasnt as great. it took me 4-6 hours to make a average looking anime character. but i kept practicing. its been 2-3 years and now im a proud artist who can draw anime accurately within a hour :) currently leaning into other art styles now so please dont loose hope! take your time and do it your style.Please dont compare yourselves to others!
Secondly, I totally disagree on the hate pewdiepie's getting just because he took the time to draw every year. its not because hes rich, its because hes trying. you know, i once started off drawing on old school copies and using my mothers phone for tutorials? please. He has passion , stop ruining it. Stop comparing yourselves, i just wrote down my whole art journey here to encourage people. rich supplies will not make you a pro. it matters if you know how to use it or not! If pewdiepie ends up quitting art because of the haters. then they have no rights to be called an artist.
Yknow, viyura doesn't strike me as a bsd fan, but here I am.
WAKE UP PPL OUR QUEEN POSTED🔥🔥🔥🔥
REAL
OG!!!!!
The pewdiepie video alongside watching Samdoesart inspired me to also do this challenge. But my variation is to do a sketch every weekday during work lunch break (it was originally an A5 sketch page but turned to just a doodle if time doesn’t allow) I also work full time and have other time consuming hobbies that take most of my interest so I don’t want drawing to be my full focus.
I used to draw for fun YEARS ago but got sad that after 10 years taking drawing on and off killed any progress I made.
Have I made progress myself in the last 100days of this drawing ‘challenge’? Yes in terms of overall confidence and minor quality, but I’m still taking it slow and only drawing my same 3 OCs atm. Some people progress slower (myself included) but who cares? If you enjoy drawing then that’s all that should matter.
1:15 NO DONT CUT THEM I WOULD LITTREALLY SELL ALL 300 OF MY OHUHU MARKERS FOR YOUR NAILS
For real
Love your vids viyaura you're amazing ✨✨
I've been drawing seriously for like- wow 4 years now, and looking back, i remember looking at other artists and their artstyle and now, my artstyle is a mix of all of them, and im so happy i didnt give up ♥ And sure i still have room for improvement, like my side profiles, but i am so proud of how my art looks now
My recent proud moment...was my fanart of Tamers' new character. The snout of the pony was too big and goofy, but i just loved it for that.
I'm going through an art block from 2 years cause of depression but his video bought me to tears and made me wanna draw again even if it was for a day I was happy to draw again for a bit. And maybe I'll continue it when I feel like it again. I'm trying.... but it's just so hard so I'm taking small steps
