the best advice I've ever heard about art is from the sleepy cabin podcast, "the best way to learn how to draw is to find a cartoon you really like and draw it an autistic amount of times." And they're not even wrong lol, most of those guys really got good at drawing from shows like DBZ
I'm in this really annoying state. I like drawing and want to get better but i can't figure out what exactly to study, who to study, how to study all these things. And i can't even buy a course since im broke. I draw for fun but i still feel lost
Some drawing experience here. You wanna draw? Broke? Say less. Drawing still life is a good place to start. An art professor told me that looking at stuff on a screen is kinda of cheating since it's already in 2-D. Drawing still life, you kinda have to translate what you see onto the page, also you learn how to observe stuff. Nothing will be harder to draw than stuff in the world. Remember, anime is just an abstraction of real life stuff. Those artists know all the fundamentals, so they can change the rules a bit to make it look pleasing. Practice your fundamentals, practice as much as you can. Draw some anime for fun and enjoyment, then worry about developing your art style, you need skill before you worry about the extra fun stuff.
Im a year into drawing, and i can't say i improved as much as I would've hoped to. seeing all of the videos of prople also deciding to draw for around the same people of time having much better results frustrates me, but a few days ago i revisited my very first drawing from a year ago and while i havent improved a lot im still a lot better than i was before and i hope i will continue getting better if i just keep at it and dont let my frustration win and rob me of a fun hobby. This comment really has no deep meaning. I've just wanted to share my experience with art so far.
Thanks for making me comfortable using a reference, i always felt like i wasn't being original but you reminded me that i started last year and haven't been drawing everyday so it's okay to use help, it's always okay to use help
@@yolowkayskrt it's the amount of pressure you use when using pencils or ink etc. And like I said digital undo button . Traditional ruined drawing. Like I said stick to watching kid.
Sorry to be that guy, but I like the 2021 drawing more. There's just so much more emotion and movement in that one that I don't care about the anatomy, line quality etc. :D But great video overall!
Hello bro and members of art community I need a advice should I draw a character and see what have I done wrong and move on to another drawing or should I repeatedly draw that drawing again until I fix my all mistakes
I am just an amateur but what I heared is to draw the character first with reference and draw it again without to compare and learn from the differences you made. Grinding out is very ill advised as this will only burn you out and never leave you satisfied.
I am another artist that has pretty recently started art seriously and me personally I'd look over what I dislike or done wrong in my drawing and try to research the right way to draw it practicing that and attempt another character drawing while including that new skill. You shouldn't just keep doing drawings try to look over them and research before moving onto the next one. This is from my experience you don't have to listen to me
When your talking about the fundamentals of drawing and your talking about how there are so many and how we need to find what art style we like to draw in (I really like drawing in anime style) and I have to find my own artist that I admire uhm but me personally I admire you as an artist so it would help me SOO MUCH if u could make a separate video all about every fundamental basic drawing “skill” that we need to learn (Yes, even the boring stuff) to get as good as you (also I am a beginner and I literally have very very little practice)😅❤
Im 14 and I started when I was 12. Ngl I feel I have both improved and not improved bc I get some really bad drawings when I try to draw characters from dragonball. I don’t know why it turns out like that, but I would like to learn what I’m doing wrong from a professional artist.
this is basically what ive been doing it helps a lot im into character drawings and illustrations although i need references for finer details i could draw a head with decent proportions without having to mark everything out so it doesnt look weird its a small step but the drawing from reference so many times now i can visualize how a jaw will look in an angle for example seeing it so many times and copying it from others is the perfect way to learn its teaching u perspective (to some degree) and u always know what to draw haha just pick a character u like then when ur getting decent mix uip references draw that character in a pose from another reference its pretty great honestly
1) Learn how to draw highlights and blend/feather it within the shading of your ink. 2) Use crosshatching or use various types of shading techniques that suit you the most. 3) Use different pens with varying shades of gray 4) Try multiple pens with different line thickness. 5) learn how to apply detail in your style Have a good day, God bless you! :)
i started drawing at 2 and im 11 now and from my 2-8 age i only drew trexs, but now that i started drawing anime im not as good at drawing rexs anymore.
@luluchiru This is definitely the definitive way of goin about it, you can tell this is true because Pewdiepie only followed this way of drawing because he drew from his favorite manga and didn’t go through so many art videos like my indecisive ass
Okay so, I’m in high school, and I have an idea I’d like to bring to life. I want to make my own anime. I have the idea in my head and I can visualize it as well. My setbacks though, would be that I don’t know what software I should use, how to completely draw extremely well yet, and even coloring. I would like help to bring this to life. Whether it be tips, or a few people that would like to join in and help!!
What if I enjoy the aesthetic of chicken scratching? I get it's not technically the right way to do it, but it can look so, so good with the right style
Wait correct me if I’m wrong but is your 2021 drawing in the first year of learning to draw because that’s deadass the skill level I would hope to reach with like a decade of practice
But what if I cannot figure out how to break down a reference into basic shapes? And I actually can't even though I have tried. What if I similarly can't figure out how to turn the basic shape construction of a reference into an actual copy of the reference? And for this too, I actually can't.
You practice. Again. Art is simply study and practice. You can't practice without studying. And if you practice without studying there's no improvement. Now that you have studied this. You have to practice.
@@zombiedemon1762just start doing it. Doesn’t have to be perfect. Just look at the reference, choose a starting point, and just start moving your hand, pay attention more to the reference than your actual drawing
@@zombiedemon1762I had the problem: i couldn't figure out how to draw my references with basic shapes, so i started from straight and curved lines (just draw a lot of them, with some practice you should be able to make rather precise lines). Then i used those lines to create basic shapes (again, you'll have to draw a ton of squares, triangles and circles in 2 and 3 dimensions). When you're confident with those shapes you can try irregular ones in 2 and 3 dimensions. I know it's going to be tedious but i assure you that after all those exercises you'll be more confident with your drawings. Good luck on your art journey
"There are no rules to art" is also a good one. Really not helpful but also untrue. If you really think about it, the rule's reality, and you abstract from it, as you said combine different aspects of the things you know to "create" something you've never seen before.

Don't wait. The sooner you start practicing and gaining experience the better. Regular old paper and pencil can still be the best for doing life studies/value studies which will help you immensely if you can get yourself to do them.

do you have tips fore shading with pen or fine line great vid btw
1) Learn how to draw highlights and blend/feather it within the shading of your ink.
2) Use crosshatching or use various types of shading techniques that suit you the most.
3) Use different pens with varying shades of gray
4) Try multiple pens with different line thickness.
5) learn how to apply detail in your style
Have a good day, God bless you! :)
