I started drawing a few months ago and at first I didn't care about learning, I just wanted to draw and have fun. But like 4 or 5 month later I started trying to learn and understand drawing to become better and try to achieve my goals, I was tired of this, not because i didn't like it, but it was long and difficult. it was just this week that I understood that i get better every time i draw, i just don't see it because i saw on internet some people that make 100x better art than me. But these artist I watched also went through the same stages as me. So please guys don't forget that drawing is a sport, a sport that will take you time to get better at. Don't be discouraged, make sure to do what you love and never regret your choices. 💪💪💪 Thank you charlie 🙏
I'm so glad this is a seemingly universal experience. The learning stages felt like a chore and when I went to try and do something "fun", I would just look at my screen insanely tired. After I got down the basics and realized what and why I wanted to draw, that tired sensation started slowly going away and replaced by actual joy from making something
i feel like the more i draw, the more i understand that things can be broken down into shapes and i can just go along with that. i still have my errors and weakpoints but the whole point is to do my best and learn from my mistakes.
Thank you!!! I've been working on color after avoiding it like the plague for months. But I think I've worked out a system. I need to work on it more but I'll definitely be sharing it with you at some point
Thank you. I needed to hear this. I've been drawing as long as I can remember. In junior high and high school, I would fill up a sketchbook every semester. In college, I took art classes and got a minor in digital art. After I graduated college, though, I stopped drawing as much. I still draw every now and then, and my skills have improved, but only slowly. I take it by fits and spells. I just need to focus on what I want to do and set goals that will help me achieve that. One step at a time. I just have to take it one step at a time.
one of the best channels for art related content out there man, this is just what i needed i think.. was a great watch regardless of if im able to pick up the pen today. much love.
I’m a traditional animator and I’m determined to stick with it and it’s beauty, I’m tryi mg so hard and a vid like this makes me feel even more determined after such a burnout. Thx man, love ur vids❤️
Really glad this was recommended to me, things have been hard ever since my Neurodivergency has been making any task I do harder and harder but just this video makes me more motivated than ever
For me, something that really helped was having a sense of community. I started doing life drawing again a few years ago just before the pandemic. But when everything moved online, I had the opportunity to work with models from all over the world and became pretty cool with some of them, as well as some artists in those countries too. People are really supportive, and models always share your work of them. And there are a lot of shared experiences too, such as Instagram taking down our work because of nudity (even drawings or when the models censor their photos). It made it really easy to want to do sessions multiple times a week. That said, I did eventually reach a point where I couldn't keep that pace. But my skills improved so much, that I can now work for an hour and get something better than what would have taken me 5 before. And I'm also branching out to doing physical media again and even trying body painting
damn... i guess here's my story since i have to vent this out of my mind so around 2 years ago i met one of my bestest friends out there, she's an artist and she draws INCREDIBLY well, and last year I thought that I was wasting my life doing nothing, and whining to myself that I couldn't bring my imagination and creativity to life, so I took up drawing... bought myself a tablet and started trying and training, and learning and doing this for a while until i knew how to draw straight lines and stuff and could trace and what not... and it was a long trip full of lost motivation and burn outs and everything there is to be and a month or so ago, maybe 2 i gave up fully because i feel like i'm making 0 progress, i can't do anything anymore. my lines aren't good, i don't know what pens and stuff to use in the program i use (i use firealpaca), and whenever i look on youtube and stuff, the lineart is amazing, the pens or brushes they're using are so damn good and i'm here, not knowing which is which or what program is good to use. whenever i think to myself that "i'm gonna draw today, i feel motivated" and what not in school, i feel hyped, but then when i come home i do my work and everything, then feel no motivation for that anymore so i just game it out with my friends. i genuinely don't know how to continue. i'm lost and i need guidance, so for anyone out here, please if you can give me tips and such. anyway, thanks for reading my ted talk!
So the question I have to ask is what's your why? For me, the goals that I have been able to achieve tend to come from me wanting to escape pain or discomfort. Your comment says you felt like you were wasting your life? Not that you should share your story on a comment section, but why did you think drawing would be a good path to take? Are you looking to make art a career, or a hobby. Both are fine, but one of them requires a big enough WHY... I love the quote, "He who has a why to live for can bear almost any how"
Well at first I was thinking about making it a hobby, but since I wanna make a game, I'd say I need some skill to create my characters. Plus, I've been dying to make my creativity come to life as I said, I can't comission since it really just doesn't feel the same as if it were made by me you know? I feel like I'd feel better about myself if I at least did this
The Buddha taught that all things contain wisdom and can teach us, therefore in all things you can find metaphor. What a beautiful way for NASA to inspire an artist.
@@AnimeCharlie im taking a course right now in Uni which is a happiness class (took it for credits) but then I stumbled upon the book for an assignment. I unironically listen to like it's the gospel to a better life. Every time I feel like I am not enough I give it another listen. I recommend it to anyone who wants to improve on anything they want that be art or other things. Much love 💯🔥
This mans tips are ubsurd but the more you watch, you realise hes rihht… Sorry i was fdrunk while typing this jus jokin im just sleep deprived, dearest apologies.

Let's go!!! 🥹
Yeah! This is the fuel we all needed, brother 🚀
Thanks brother!!
Btw where's your next video!?!?!
@@AnimeCharlie Will be there in 3-4 days, still working on it 😉
Let's all admit that Charlie is the promised messiah sent by the art gods
Prophet 😂
there's only one God.
@@S_N1. don’t take what I wrote about the art gods seriously. Everyone and their sister knows that there is t such a thing as
Absolutely
Lisan al-Gaib!
I LOVE your videos, they're always super helpful! Also, you should narrate audiobooks, your voice is incredibly soothing.
Awwww thank you! I've gotten that a lot! I'm starting to think about it 😂 lol
This video hit me in the feels and brought a tear to my eye. The journey is super relatable.
I knew I woke up early for something..INSPIRATION!
Hahahaha I'm glad I could be that inspiration!
Bro I know this is off topic but your voice is smooth af, you should do voice acting
Really glad this was recommended to me, things have been hard ever since my Neurodivergency has been making any task I do harder and harder but just this video makes me more motivated than ever
Never thought NASA would come to me as a way to help focus on art for longer periods of time.
All this talk about gravity, bros a priest
love this charlie! thank you!

The Pinterest board part is so real 😭

Great video! Thank you, Charlie.
DG!! Saw your email!! Ima hit you back great stuff!!!!!!
@@AnimeCharlie Awesome! No rush, my dude. I know you're a busy man. I'm not going anywhere.
If I could draw even half as good as you my motivation would punch a hole on the surface of Mars.
damn... i guess here's my story since i have to vent this out of my mind

Your comment says you felt like you were wasting your life? Not that you should share your story on a comment section, but why did you think drawing would be a good path to take?
Are you looking to make art a career, or a hobby. Both are fine, but one of them requires a big enough WHY...
I love the quote, "He who has a why to live for can bear almost any how"
Well at first I was thinking about making it a hobby, but since I wanna make a game, I'd say I need some skill to create my characters.
Plus, I've been dying to make my creativity come to life as I said, I can't comission since it really just doesn't feel the same as if it were made by me you know? I feel like I'd feel better about myself if I at least did this
Bro please make a video about how to hold a graphic pen and improve line work
Arts amazing bro.
Charlie is a rabbit hole on to da nxt video takin note
I am faceing difficulty to draw anim eye
Draw two slanted lines then abunch of iris in the middle to see how your brain likes it
Just use references for a while, preferably of artists you like till you’re able to find something that works for you
The Buddha taught that all things contain wisdom and can teach us, therefore in all things you can find metaphor. What a beautiful way for NASA to inspire an artist.
Got my subscription brotha
Thanks brother!🫡
I like how you used nasa as a comparison to you as an artist
I think this rocket allegory can be used for literally any skill
I’m getting distracted by how velvety smooth your voice is
It may shock me to know how much you draw? Well,then shock me. How much do you draw?!
Thanks Boss ✌️🫶✌️
Your voice.... Is very... Relaxing...
And your passion for drawing... is beautiful.
Great artist here.
Why does he sound like that one voice actor on horror animated short films
What other classes do you recommend on skillshare?
Hello, is there a way I can reach out to you privately 😢
Yeah! Send me an email. It's in my info on my about page.
Esta genial esa voz de negro, suena muy varonil
If you want to get to the next level, grab some paper and a black pen
The link doesn't work :( it's already finished ?
Nope, you should be good. Just checked. :)
The question is. How much is too much? Is this good for me?
