Previously I have done a video for people who want to start drawing, but with a lot of new subscribers from experimental videos I wanted to introduce people uninterested in drawing to why they should start drawing.
This video reiterates a few things from previous videos,, but in a perspective for someone who has little knowledge about drawing or art.

1 week every day ?
Also great vid
Did I say that? Whoops
I draw 1 week everyday
I guess it's time for me to get to work and draw a week today.
that's why he is good, cheater!
mark009vn you spelled "use a hyperbolic time chamber" wrong bro
In my opinion knowing how to draw isn't the talent. The dedication, time investment and effort you put into your skills is the real talent.
Yup, definitely agree. That's basically the fact nobody talks about :D
Zar The Italian consequentially, there is a degree of talent. Maybe not in drawing, but in actually wanting to spend time drawing. And, therefore, most people aren’t going to be able to do that. If everyone could show that kind of devotion, everyone would.
@@CurlyHairedRogue yup, more of like the desire to sit down and actually draw, and even though getting disappointed and probably sucking at first, the stamina to start over again.
Zar The Italian Yeah. Drawings draw my interests. The reason why I draw and invest time on it,every single day ages ago...
Ok to be fair, in my case it's more stubbornness, but hey, thanks for the confidence boost
"I'm too old to start now" is only a good excuse if you're literally dead.
lmao
Or if you have terrible arthiritis
Or you work all the time and have no free time or energy. That can be a real thing.
That doesn't make you too old, that makes you too busy.
What an awful fate. I would literally rather work fast food for the rest of my life than ever have a job where I'm too busy for hobbies, no matter how much it paid
Dudes and dudesses, know that Vincent Van Gogh started painting at 27. And died at 37.

Also know that Van Gogh was good at art but was kind of mentally insane like he cut of his ear for a lady so yeah…
"No one has ever gotten far with just natural talent."
I have, with math and English and stuff. But when I draw, I never improve.
That's true, I used to be considered talented at drawing as a kid, but since I didn't practice, nowadays my drawing skills are nothing special, so I started trying to improve it.
@@hauntedbunnies6522 No, you didn't. You trained yourself with math by learning it over many years and using it daily.
For me, natural talent is like a headstart. You're going far at first but if you don't improve, You'll just stuck in where you are
‘Natural Talent’ or a biological advantage, can help, but it probably won’t be that noticeable, and developed natural learning abilities would likely be more noticeable and make a much larger impact. Just like he said in the video
The more you learn the better you get at learning more.
This is especially good when you’re young when brain is growing, so your trained learning capabilities will improve faster because instead of your brain changing to it, your brain develops into it, making permanent solid improvements to your learning capabilities.
Then as an adult you will be able to pick up new skills easily, almost as if you were still a kid because of your learning experience as a kid.
For music: practise for 40 hours a day

@@kayloren63 I'm happy for you
What about "I don't have time" excuse ?
@@anuragsosa u have time
@@_dyats yes but I have other "stuff" to do too. Like studying for example (I'm a medical student) 😅, then procrastination (it's my passion) 😌😂. Jk I decreased study time to make room for drawing ✌.
The thing about "I wish I started 5 years ago but now it's too late"...
If you don't start now, five years from now you'll be thinking the same thing; that's... how time works...
It's never to late to be successful
@Lance Rothman probably because you dont want to be able to draw xD

@@astrophel12 yeah right?
people always ask what you draw, nobody ever asks how you draw :( this video is great
My little sister once drew with her poop all over my window. She no longer wears diapers anymore. (thankfully)
Well, if you're good at drawing things in a realistic way, they shouldn't have to ask you what it is and would be quite curious about how you've done that.
Also no one asks why... Anyhow the choice of subjects is really relevant, I suppose
This is so sad, Alexa draw despacito.
they always ask where is draw, who is draw, and why is draw
but they never ask how is draw :(
I was really depressed, I started doodling, and i started to feel much better with myself.
Doodling is a lesser form of therapy, it relieves some stress and can help clear your mind. ^^
I thought u said drooling 👍

Same, I like to draw while doing another background task and it puts my mind at some sort of peace especially when the drawing comes out decent.
Sameish 😀
A pointer for beginners: you will always think your art is disappointing. I’ve been drawing for years, but lately I’m trying to improve on the basics. Anyhow, no matter how good you get at art you will always think yours is bad. Just remember how much you’ve improved since the beginning. Look back at your old art and see how much you’ve grown. That’s what matters. That you’re trying, and it’s working. Keep going, and you can only get better!
I mean, every once in a while you might have a breakthrough and produce something you're legit happy with. It's rare but it can happen. I had that happen to me last week; I was at a rather informal gathering and for much of it I just sat in the corner drawing... Didn't really have any real plans ahead of time for what I wanted to draw... At the end of the day I had reached a point in said drawing where I just thought "You know, I really think I did good on this one. I actually want to show this off to people." And so I did. And the other people in the room seemed to be genuinely impressed. So that was a good feeling. One that I don't expect I'll be experiencing terribly often.
To go along with this tip, make sure to save or preserve ALL of your work. Scan it, put it in a binder or a box or whatever.
That way in a in a month or a year or even 10 years, you can go and look back at how far you have come.
The worst part of learning an art is that it takes a lot of time and often is learned in small steps. That makes it feel like you aren't growing or achieving anything, but by having a reminder of where you were and comparing it to where you are helps show your growth, and it shows where you could grow more.
I love all my paintings and drawings, they are things that didn't exist before I made them happen! They don't often turn out as envisioned, and sometimes I'm embarrassed as soon as anyone looks at them, especially educated artists who judge as good or bad according to technical skills. It's worth pondering if this is because we are all aware of the works of geniuses and compare ours to theirs?
Everything that comes from a love of creation is good.
Thx man 😊
Unless you're a narcissist like me, drawing a stick figure and then wondering where I could sell it.
Then again, I've seen blank canvases go for millions.
"Beauty is in the eye of the beholder"
I started drawing 4 years ago, this year I'm launching a 6 series of children's books called Pop & Cocky. I'm 43.
Drawing has been so rewarding it has taught me so much.
It is so relaxing too, it transports me. Drawing when you want is always a pleasant and rewarding experience.
Where should I start? I don't know where to start.
@@NorlynCodes start by stickmen. then focus where you wanna improve. its worth it.
@@NorlynCodes start by drawing something you like. Draw it every day in a different way for 6 weeks. You will be amazed
Congrats :)
You know, thats not something I've ever heard anyone say before.
'Drawing is a learned skill.'
I've heard people say they were good at it, or that some people have a talent for it. But I've never actually heard someone say you can sit down and LEARN this no matter who you are.
Thanks for that.
Think about it - nobody is born able to draw, and nobody who has never drawn before is capable of drawing well. Drawing ability is not innate!
+Michael Kelly I Doubt That. Go To Your Science Class To Learn More Or Learn Science On Google Search. You'll Regret What You Just Said.
Yeah, people tell me "wow you're so talented". They don't realize how hard I had to work to get my art to that point, and in a few weeks or years, it's going to be trash in my eyes. I mean, I take the compliment though. Yes, you could say I have a natural talent of envisioning and capturing certain things. But for once I want to hear, "wow you must have worked so hard on that." (:
Max PlaysGamez - Shares Gaming Experience & Stuffs Hi Max. Can you explain why you think drawing ability is something people have at birth and/or why people who have never drawn before are able to draw well?
+AnotherAsianArtist wow you must have worked so hard on that. 👍
I’ve recently picked up guitar, piano, drawing and now I’m learning Korean. The realization that I’m 24 and haven’t done a damn thing with myself kinda killed me for a second but it’s been a few months now and I’m feeling confident.
You are still SO YOUNG, trust me when I say that your fine, just don’t give up on your passions, you can easily turn them into a living with hard work at your age. Keep going
I'm 19 and I don't have any skills aside that I can draw something (not by myself tho I need some picture or thing to draw, can't imagine in my head). It's just that I don't want to do anything. I just want to sit or lie down watching anime, TH-cam, scrolling Instagram etc.
@@anuragsosa Same here buddy, except I'm 18. But I really want to make manwha comics and animations. I know that lying around watching TH-cam will never accomplish my goals.
I had the same mindset as you when I was 13, and I could have gotten a lot done if I really focused on my passion. But I didn't, and now I'm 18 trying make sure I don't make the same mistake again.

I was that kid who always envied people who could draw well (my friends were AMAZING) but never made myself learn...until 9 months ago. I did my first drawing without references and simply used the image I had in my mind. While the end result wasn’t bad, I knew I could do better. And so I began my art journey, studying everything from human anatomy to color theory and perspective. I did traditional art for a few months before transitioning to digital. Now I draw digitally almost exclusively
I always drawed without reference, I really like to draw literally what I want I thank that's what s so good about drawing.
Here's one of my drawings for example.

wish i had this mindset, when i start learning something my mind says it's hopeless and boring then proceeds to bombard me with thoughts for distraction and frequent yawning.

You don't have to be good at a hobby. You should get good at your profession, but a hobby is supposed to be something you do out of joy, fun and personal growth. Don't compare yourself to a professional who NEEDS to be good. We are way too compatitive nowadays and we seem unable to enjoy activities that we suck at. I say: don't worry about it, just enjoy. You'll probably get better, but if you don't, it's ok.

I used to know someone who was a "natural" at drawing since she was super young. I noticed that, as time went on, she never changed her art style, and never felt like she needed to move on to different ones. I think she was afraid of the thing new artists are afraid of: being bad, so she never tried to move on and do something new and different.
translation for non artists: she does anime or cartoony stuff because it's easy

After watching this video, I realized that it really is a fear of making something ugly or messing up that's keeping me from drawing. Before this I wouldn't have said that I'm afraid to start drawing.
And if I end up being even medium-good at it, it would be amazing because I've spent years conditioning myself that I can't draw. And it's not just me, even art teachers when I was small used to tell me my drawing was bad. I mean I was just a 5 year old trying to draw some umbrellas and teddy bears
Now I’m 15 years old and I want to become an artist, too. I was always interested in drawing, but because I thought I wasn’t talented I gave up. This video was in my recommendations and it was exactly what I needed because I saw so many artists who started drawing from a very young age and that discouraged me so much.

A other thinge is draw every day if you want to get rly good at it if you dont feel like it draw It is very importent to be consistent. And dont watch tutorials if you dont execute them after. the last one you feel insperatet right now so you have the feeling you want to do smth but truest be this feeling will go away and you nead to be able to motivate yourself to do art.

You have the best kind of motivational videos.
Oddly enough because they're _not_ the usual kind.
The one that aims to invoke emotions with pompous yet vapid big words, which will quickly wear off like an inflated baloon.
Instead you have a grumpy, yet unadulterated matter-of-fact approach.
It doesn't embellish anything - in fact you'll call the audience out on the excuses.
But it also doesn't need to because the reasoning has an intrinsic motivational value that won't wear off.

"Or look at how weird feet are. Feet look really dumb. Don't like feet." -Mattias Pilhede, 2018
Drawing is the best stress buster I know. I took up drawing three years ago and haven’t looked back. I try and draw every day and I am completely self taught. While drawing I get so focused on what I am doing everything else seems to just melt away.
I possibly had a head start through being a photographer, photography taught me how to see which is also vital when drawing.
Yeah drawing and speaking in another language. Especially if your listening some music then it feels like a different world
"I'm never comfortable in the spot i'm in. I want to be better."
Those 2 lines are the whole point of a hobby. Never get too comfortable where you are or else you might stop or never improve. Even though I'm way above everyone in drawing in my school, I never get comfortable in the spot I'm in.
I made a presentation about "talent" a couple months ago, this is basically it applied to art.

I’ve drawing since I was 3
I’ve drawn and ANIMATED (including tweens) so much that it’s unhealthy for me
And I’m not stopping
Just Gabe if drawing and animating ever becomes to much or you just don’t want to don’t feel bad if you need to take a break.
Yay me too! I held a pen in my hand when I was only two, but hitting that on important documents (for kindergarten) is not really what I would call drawing :0
As a 23 year old who didn't draw much growing up and just looked at other people's art instead like you did, this video appeared in my recommended at perfect timing
I've always seen talent as some kind of illusion, like this magic trick everyone is impressed about. But behind that magic there is a complex net of factors, mechanisms, pulls, strings and gears that makes this magic feels "real" and "convincing" in some way.
Same with talent.
On first hand it looks like magic, but when you see behind you find this complex mechanism determined by a lot of factors: experience, practice, time spended, the pasion and dedication this person has for their particular activity. And, in a psychological matter, is even more fascinating than the "magic" "divine" or "gifted" (or whatever you want to call it) explanation.
Talented people are facinating, same with normal people like us. We all are talented in some degree, all you have to do is take control of whatever passion you have, and push it with hard work, practice and most importantly, experience. And, if you don't find your passion yet, just be patient and don't stop searching.
I know, is more easy tell things rather than do them. And, specially in the beginning, is even harder. The trick is remain persistent, and continue when you feel like trash and you aren't getting anywhere, just do it for the sake of doing it. Eventually, you will get somewhere if you don't quit.

Still got a long path ahead of me, but being this early into this journey and already seeing improvement, inspires me to go even further. So thank you!
I went to school for painting at age 26. Its funny to look back and think how embarassed I was to be an "older" art major. I assumed I was way past the cut off line to start doing art. So glad I decided to face my fears, its also helped me come out of my comfort zone in so many other aspects of my life.
27 here - I'm curious, did you end up able to paint well?
I'm 21, used to draw a lot as a kid, but because of school, I dropped out of it. Now I want to go back to drawing, I've lost all of my abilities, I need to learn back from scratch, but I'll try anyway.
School really is your enemy when it comes to creativity. Having a lot of homeworks, people laughing at you for what you do, it's not something you can ignore with ease as a kid...
I've been studying computers and stuff for almost 6 years now, and I still don't feel like I want to do that for a living, so I'll just try one thing after another until I find something I want to do, being good at it or not.
Anyway, all of that to say, thank you for your comment, it gave me a bit of courage to not give up on myself yet.
Also great vid, to that guy who made it.
@@Raan-Shi Im 22, I draw all my life, and my career is not related about art, but im too shy to be "e-famous" right now, I practice everyday for one hour, I admire a lot of artists and designers..dont give up
most important dont feel pressure to be "a sucesfull instagram artist"
@@mimim102 That's not what I'm trying to become, but I think criticism is important to improve. Kids are mean, Internet is too. I'll probably post them for my friends so they can tell me what I should focus on to improve.
@@Raan-Shi I think is better if you take criticism from a teacher or a professional, you can paid a pro on patreon if you don't want criticism from strangers :)
"What if you took 1 week every day to draw anatomy"
This is what taking a life drawing class feels like
Lmaoo this just unlocked a memory I didn’t even know I had , I remember drawing Pokémon’s for people in 4th grade cuz I was actually pretty decent at it. Unfortunately I stopped drawing after elementary school but hey hopefully I’ll pick it up again someday
You can do it tonight
Same here I used to draw pokemon too
@@GwynC i actually started the same or day after i posted this commet.
I used to draw flipbooks
Actually the same exact thing for me as well. In 4th grade, I had this kid I was sorta friends with who saw me drawing a Charizard and asked if I could make him one. I ended up drawing a few for him, and it was pretty cool.
"I know i would much rather have a drawing that turned out bad, that i learned from, than a drawing i was afraid to continue on because i was afraid i would ruin it."
this statement is dead on.
I see the world like this (5:10) because I need glasses
Get glasses
Get glasses
poptart poptart they ain’t cheap!
Get glasses
Get glasses (but I honestly need one too)
I'm speechless. This is really solid advice. 10/10.
So relatable... I also never saw, nor still see, really, myself as a creative person. Always use the excuse of it being too late while simultaneously really wanting to learn how to draw...
This video just hits right and I might have no option but to go grab a notebook, a couple pencils, and start doodling around.
Thanks.
One week every day
I uhh... I messed up...
lmao lol
Mattias Pilhede what did you mean though? because I feel like I'm high rn
no name he probably meant a day a week
Your words are very inspiring
I drew a lot as a kid but unfortunetly does not learn a lot, but I found my passion about it.
Since the end of 2015 I really focus on LEARNING how to draw and my steps since then are incredible
I'm still far away from where I want to be and I often think that I should have started out earlier, but I can't change the past and need to focus on my progress now, great video! c:
Updates?
@@tounsi405 I just restumbled across the video and saw that I commented here xD
well I'm about to graduate uni (design) and become a professional illustrator, I do not regret starting "late" anymore, still practicing but gained confidence in my journey and skills c:
guess I'm doing fine! :D
"... and I only have 60 years left to live and I can never learn anything new again!"
Made my day, still laughing!
If I could choose one yt video every human could see, it'd be this one. Absolutely amazing, and I can most certainly agree. The same standards can be applied to about every learnable skill, and I can see it on myself in creative writing and learning languages. Good stuff!
Yesterday I watched this video before going to sleep. Today in Ethics class we had to write an essay about deciding on things to do in life (we had to write in our native language and I don't know how to translate the theme properly) and this video came in my mind and helped me out a lot. Thanks to this I managed to write the longest essay in class and get a great grade. Thank you.
You're welcome!
You should be a art professor that speech was amazing
At first i really struggled drawing
Hands
Feet
Breast
Proportion
Now that i dont find that as hard im striving for
Perspective
Foreshortening
dynamic imagery
Structureless figures
Still along way but its already paying off
Next probobly are
Texture
Architecture
shading
Coloring
you can see the progress of your hard work by the length of the things you learn
Yeah its quite delighful seeing just how much youve progressed
Breasts? What are you drawing?

That also confused me
Haha! Thought it was my lack of english skills..
One day every week! Come on people.

I’m 15 been drawing seriously for 3 years now, it’s very fun to see all the improvements over the years

I just found this video and it was the best way to start the year !!! THANKS A LOT!
“1 week every day”
Me: damn that’s a long day
thank u very much for this.
i started drawing few months ago and i think this is something i want to do rest of my life, i practice everyday i see progress, but i wasn't sure about things and this video was a great reminder of things
I cant stop watching your videos... good stuff!
This was one of the most amazing videos of my life. I want to watch it every day.
Drawing is one of the few things that don't make me hate myself when I fail. I'll try to follow your advice.
YES YES YES OLD DEVIANT ART YES!
So many memories! So glad you showed that!
Agreed
Drawing gives you a reason to life
But what if drawing is just drawing?
What?
Bro u tripping? Cuz that's tripping me out rn
yes drawing is drawing its the same thing
*You never played tuber simulator?!*
@@borkers3788 i have played tuber simulator
@@borkers3788 Obviously.
I've been drawing for my whole life, so I never really noticed how it changed the way I thought. I've just always thought that way. But after learning a new language, the way I interpret words and the way I solve problems, etc, has changed greatly. I can only guess drawing changes your mind just as much. It's astonishing how much learning new skills changes who you are as a person.
“And sometimes it takes learning how to love something.” I think I’m gonna save this quote
What I love about art, I can make my own worlds and characters and be invested in there development as characters :)
i love this video. it's about art specifically, but can apply to literally any skill, and / or hobby. but the message is anything you can dream of getting quite good at you could indeed get quite good at with time and dedication, as well as genuine drive to change and overcome obstacles. we shouldn't stick with a career or trade till the end of our lives; we can always make a switch and find a passion for something new. the only way to develop a passion for anything is to get sorta good at it, and see how you can improve from there and see all the possibilities. to maintain that passion, you have to make constant progress in what you do. which is why you, matthias, need to upload more often, because if you don't, the rifts in between your video uploads will get longer and longer still.
Bakunin wow that was smooth
I was pleasantly surprised to learn that this video was about a whole lot more than just drawing. There are a million and one things from surfing, to Spanish that I want to get good at in my life, and this video explains really well how and why you should get good at them. The only thing that is missing is that you need to find your priorities and focus on those, priorities change over time but focus on the things that are most important in your life right now and disregard everything else.
Beautiful video! This is exactly why I love art so much and learning about new things. After I started photographing and learning more about it, I feel like I have a whole new perspective on life. Even when I don't have my camera with me I notice the colors, the lights and the shadows and little details that I wouldn't notice before and everything just becomes more beautiful. This also applies to of course, drawing, cooking, reading or even just learning about other artists. It's truly a shame a lot of adults don't feel like learning anything that won't bring a clear benefit to their life. Once you learn more about things and the process behind it, they have a whole new meaning and you just appreciate life a little more.
