I think one of the reasons he learnt so quickly is the amount of discipline he has and for some of us it's really difficult to draw everyday and he deserves a lot of respect for that
Yeah and I saw people say its because he's rich and dosnt have to work a job so he has time. Like yeah but he still says he goes to the gym every day, and literally has a child that him and marzia take care of without a nanny. So its still impressive hes been practicing every day for a year.
Yeah, the discipline and constistence definitely were huge factor, and he's amazing for doing all that! But because many artists who react to his videos don't say anything but praise, some beginners get false expectations when they just starting, let's not forget that Felix does have engineering degree (or at least he did study for it) and he's also familiar with Photoshop.

What Felix achieved is still very impressive and with enough time and discipline anyone can achieve his level!
A big part is he focused early on in a way that let him grow he also had the dunning Kruger effect hit him a bit later which is normal for all artist the main thing is he focused early on, had fun with it and a good mindset along with his photoshop experience which while he may not view it as an art background absolutely is given even things like photobashing/photoshop to a degree transfer over to other artistic skills like understanding colour, good design and training what you see. Like he also said in his video I think him being older also helped a lot as a large portion of art is problem solving and we tend to be better at it when we are older. Another thing is he has a good support system, not only from his wife but his community and artist as a whole people who are professionals giving him feedback also helps a lot which is something a lot of self taught people do not find out till later a mentor will make your progress double most of the time he has a lot of stuff that just blended together really well and kept him motivated

@@GDRedSkull I can't remember lying about anything. I meant I came back to TH-cam after I saw a notification of Sam reacting to the video I just watched. I couldn't possibly watch it in one second.
This is exactly what I did and now I have the most motivation I’ve had in a minute! Never would’ve thought Pewdiepie would start art and be an inspo but here we are lolol 😭😂
As a professional Marvel myself and DC comic book artist it's great to see an artist showing the growth of another artist and giving helpful critiques that are helpful to the masses. Keep up the great work SamDoesArts and too Pewdiepie.
Sorry this is probably really random, but I’m trying to get into the comic artist industry too. Are you open to sharing anything about how you got into it? I’m applying to some art schools right now, but not sure what to look for.
OMG!!!! How can I become like Dan Mora‽‽ Also, can I make fancomic of a fanfic?? Or will I get sued by DC and MARVEL?? I read so many amazing fanfics that I want to see it in comic form, but it feels illegal 😅😅.
I drew like a maniac all through high school...it was my antisocial activity. Got a job, had some kids... life took all my energy, but I would still draw off and on.. It was so discouraging to see how I backslid in quality. Art is worth the effort. Dopamine drop when you unlock new abilities. I like what pewdiepie said about having fun with it. Yeah, thats the point. Have fun.❤
This! I stopped drawing for quite a few years and have tried to get back into it the past years. It's so painful seeing how I'm having difficulty with drawing things I *know* I had no issue with before. It feels like I have to relearn drawing again. 😢
yep. i used to draw so much in highschool. I was drawing every single day and just out of nowhere one of my friends decided to start drawing and she was waaaay better than me. She started critiquing my art in such a rude way and because my style was different to hers i got so discouraged and didn’t draw for YEARS.. i started again a few years ago and looking back on my old drawings compared to my skills now and i’m just like.. what the fuck man. YOU WERE GOOD!!!! YOU WERE GOOD LITTLE ME!!!!
@@zaid3459 he didnt exactly say it, but he said some stuff which every artist goes through... like how he drew for days and still didnt feel any improvement or didnt like his artworks and found fault in them.
I've tried drawing leisurely and even I understand that sentiment xD still, will probably try it out myself soon... it's been one of the things I want to add but get frustrated with myself for lol.
He's already have some knowledge when he used to do photoshop for a living in his early days of youtube, that's why his improvement speed in drawing is really fast
As an artist that has areas I know I need to improve in many areas. My comfort zone is portraits. However even there I need to improve. I'm feeling inspired to challenge myself in this way. Just draw! No finished pieces (well maybe some). Just practice.
12:45 I agree. I’m trying to relearn how to draw, and I’m 38! I haven’t drawn seriously since middle school 😩 I’ve made a lot of progress, but I’m not nearly where I want to be. I took the culinary route, and you want to learn the recipes before you add your own flavor to the recipe to make it yours, and drawing is the same. Work on anatomy and realism and then “add your own flavor”. Love your videos, btw! You’ve helped me so much these past few months, and I’m grateful that you’ve decided to share your knowledge with us! 💙 Thank you for not being a gatekeeper!
I love how his art journey really sparked a debate from people. Anyone can practice drawing and that all you need is a pen/pencil and a paper. The internet is an unlimited source of references but that has been overwhelming to some aspiring artists who are getting unmotivated because they don't know when and how to start.
I agree, now we even have skillshare but youtube is still better. I recently studied his painting style, and it was a real challenge. I’ve shared the whole process step-by-step in my video. Honestly, I don’t understand the criticism he gets - he’s just enjoying the creative process and exploring his art.
This is genuinely so amazing to see. Just some guy showing his art progression, its so lovely to see and it really shows that with discipline you CAN BE AN AMAZING ARTIST even if you didnt start drawing as a wee child. Its so amazing, idk how to describe it well
What PewDiePie said about having fun with drawing hit me, because recently I haven't been having that much fun with drawing because I'm trying so many different things and I'm struggling with all of them. Makes me want to go back to stuff I have fun drawing
Naaaah don't compare yourself to anyone. We have different progress. We are all different. You will dissapoint to yourself if you compare. Take it as inspiration brooo. Good luck!!
To get better you need to put in time and thoughtful practice. You don’t have to in order to enjoy art - but to get better as you’re complaining, you can’t just sit around complaining not doing anything
07:01 The fact that i'm going through that rn and hearing Sam talk about it really made me feel better ngl. I've been getting the feeling as if i was lagging behind because of seeing other people's progress and improvement in such a sort time span. It made me stop practicing because I've been drawing since i was, like, 10 and now have stopped making any prgress. So I'll try clearing up my mind again and start drawing once more after i'm done with my exams and such. Thank you Sam I gotta love you and your advice !!
Felix and Sam collab when? im aware he is in japan and sams in canada but i think it'd be great to see them call and maybe sam could teach him procreate tips
@@specialzeroH8yup. i think it would be cool if they showed each other tips about art that the other may not know (or trying to draw in each others styles.)
12:10 fr, I had been drawing anime characters for the past 6 years (since I was 13) but only since last year my interest started shifting towards realistic art (taking reference from Pinterest (you know why Sam 🌚)) but one thing I realised is that once I practiced drawing realistic art, drawing anime became much easier than it used to be, so guys do try drawing realistic art
I have a lot of respect for him staying consistent with it and I'm genuinely happy for his progress. It's also a little hard for me to be inspired by it though... I look at the progress I make in 100 days as opposed to him and just think, "Maybe I should just quit, this is as far as I can go..." I won't quit, I love art, but I'm having a very hard time staying positive...
For real tho it is hard to stay consistent 😒 I made a study of his painting style and it was pretty hard, I shared a step by step in my video. I really don't get how can he have haters he is just having fun exploring art.
I've thought about this a lot: how someone will pick up art later in life and just excel at it. Seemingly catching up to lifelong artists in no time. And I have a few ideas why this might be.. 1. This beginner has ZERO attachment to their art outcome. Meaning, they haven't spent countless years questioning themselves and their art. They aren't holding their creation to a high standard. There's likely no pressure, and so they just practice and create - freely. The fun is the focus! If any other you are like me, then half the battle of being an artist is overcoming your own fear of creating badly. Their beginner mindset allows them to flourish! 2. XP Multiplier. The more skills we learn, the better we become at learning. So we can learn skills much faster later in life. But the main point is, don't let these kind of beginners discourage any of you! If someone overtakes you in a year that takes nothing away from your journey. Everyone has their own brain, path, and way of living.
now i want to draw. i had an art block for a reallyyy long time and i really didnt have time either. watching this video is making me want to draw again. THANK YOU SAMMMM!!!!
As someone who has always loved art, but never formally trained in it(whether in a school or from some online source) and just did it for fun, PewDiePie's video came as an awakening call. Like, from past few years, i havent been able to do art as much as i would like. Job demands my time and rest of the time, i just dont do art..and then the guilt haunts me later as i am not improving what so ever. He did, just one or two sketches daily. Not complete detailed finishes, but rough sketches, to get his brain wired for correct proportions. I feel so proud of him, and almost embarassed on myself that I did not do something so small and as a result I missed out on so much improvement. Not just art, but in other facets of my life as well. I dunno man, this is way too inspirational for me. It made me feel bad for a while but then it also hyped me up...
Its rather insane how motivational these videos are. Two days ago I did an 10 minutes sketches with random promt challenges. And I got an Skull. And the difference of thatt skull and a skull I did half an year ago was massive. And I did it in lesser time than I did half year ago. Sometimes improvement is not visible in the main strenght but can still see the improvement in other areas.
Him ask if hes ok. Remends me of when I was in a deep depressed state. Drawing was more than fun. It was a release. Time didnt matter. Nothing mattered. All that mattered was what I was seing in my head... Characters, in pain, triumphant, badass, Sad, cold... I wasnt fatigued by it. I wasnt bored. I look forward to it. Sometimes I didnt even know what it would be... Now that I am not as depressed. Its so damn difficult to draw.
I messed up all of my drawings for almost 2 whole weeks now, and this is the video i didn't knew i needed to feel inspired again. I realised i'm not even having fun drawing anymore and i'm just drawing to get better at it, so everytime i messed up i just got mad and stopped what i was doing instead of trying to draw something that make me come out of my comfort zone. Anyway great video like always
I've been drawing since 2019. My art has significantly improved but I feel like compared to PewDiePie I have barely improved. I hate my art but I still draw. It's like therapy to me. I know its weird af for me to just put this out there randomly but Im gonna do it anyway. I started off by watching drawing tutorials and following along. Tho most of my old art was lost when my aunt ripped them all to shreds I still remember vividly what it was like completing my first artwork. Eventually I kept on drawing and drawing. Always challenging myself and trying new things. However, last year I became bored of drawing using yt videos so I began teaching myself how to draw without them. I went back and taught myself the basics and ever since learning how to draw a head I've stagnated heavily. Just a few months ago I met this guy at senior school. He was a year above me and he was an art guru. Or atleast I called him that. His art inspired me heavily and since then I've been trying to learn how to draw full bodies and dynamic poses. I'm not the best at faces either. Year I see people like PewDiePie getting this good in a single year. Some people are just born great man😂
You know what same stuff with me I got a great talent of art when I took art seriously I improved tremendously my anatomy knowledge was really great but my passion was lost in the process because I left my previous style of comic book I was just drawing once in a week so no improving for me just recently I found passion in digital art but when I saw pewdiepie I got little jealous even though I am not a jealous person at all but I know it is not me too alot of People probably got jealous because even though he is not my level he improved way fast way fast even with a talent I wasnt as good
I'll give you an advice as an fellow artist ^~^ Don't draw from tutorials, draw life. Life is the best resources for reference, studies and inspiration. Meet like minded people, share your art, get and give feedback, and occasional draw what is FUN for you and try new things/mediums ^~^ It's sth I need to remind myself often as well ^^`
just keep in you mind, that he has all the time on earth and defenetly can afford drawing some time everyday, while you probably have other things to do and draw at your free time, it's not about time, it's about practice ✨✨
Honestly I partially started drawing recently because of Pewdiepie's video. It's almost 6 months since I started and I don't see myself stopping anytime soon. Btw I'm pretty sure that's how I found your channel and now I'm addicted and watch your every video :D
@@irule10338not commenter, but i started with a pencil and paper, went to pinterest and drew anything i like. after a while i learn the fundamentals and focus on 1 parts per study
@@irule10338 Honestly the best tips i feel like I can give is to draw from a reference a lot. Don't be a perfectionist when it comes to lines, proportions are way more important and it's okay for drawings to be rough. Learn to observe, with time you'll notice more and more details that make objects look like they do and putting it on canvas will be the easy part. Oh and materials barely matter. Pencil and piece of paper is all you need to start. Good luck :) Edit: Almost forgot the most important one, have fun! :D
His progress has definitely inspired me. For a while I basically gave up on drawing and I was at a point where I was thinking I might give it up for good (though I still did 3D and texture painting). But after his second video, it kinda lit a fire in me to finally put in the effort needed to get my illustration skills up to snuff. Still feels like I got a long ways to go, but channels like yours and others help inspire me to keep plugging away at it.
I never drew as a kid, but a few months ago i wanted to start this journey because I thought art was cool. But it‘s so hard to do something you never had a passion for. But these videos keep me motivated and after drawing for some time I realised it is a part of my life now and that makes me happy.
As a passionate vocal coach, honestly I'm gonna start showing people your video here. Cause this just shows the struggles that we all go through as artists and what we need to do to overcome them! Thank you
He is inspiring all of us 😊 I recently studied his painting style, and it was a real challenge. I’ve shared the whole process step-by-step in my video. Honestly, I don’t understand the criticism he gets - he’s just enjoying the creative process and exploring his art.
Consistency in genuinely great art to me is way better than coming up with a master work and comparing yourself to that every time. Comparing what he did day one to day 365 he has come a loooooong way.
@11:38 that’s why I hate AI art even more. Drawing is a human experience to the core. It’s how we as a species have always been creative and told stories. Humans are meant to make art 💙
I understand why you hate ai art because people stealing the art made by a machine takes away the effort made by artist almost like if you just got someone to put in the work for you BUT have you ever thought about just using Ai as a way to get references almost like a quick Google search but slightly more accurate 😅
Im an artist and i only started using ai recently for random projects i had no plans to make money from while using a mixture of hand drawn art. It just hurts way too badly to try to get something out for it and it would only make the process a lot slower. Like i legit can draw, but my body has other plans especially during colder weather.
i used to love drawing when i was a kid too. but i completely forgetten about it.. until i started college. i was so undecided to the course i’m choosing… and end up taking an art related course.. then i realize the passion and love i used to put in drawing back when i was a kid.. now im 3rd yr and having a great time in art industry. im just happy with this course, i do really love this. im glad i was able to continue something i used to love when i was a kid. i hope i can somehow find any of my old drawings in my house lol
I think pewdiepie’s story is really encouraging! It’s proof that if you want to get good at something, all you have to do is put the time and effort into it! Talent and skill can come from nowhere and can be developed from nothing. Sam, thank you for sharing his video (otherwise I wouldn’t have watched it) and thank you for all the steps you go through to teach people art! I’ve learned so much from you and my digital art is getting better 🫶🏽
5:50 this is what I'm missing .. fun... 😢 i used to draw a lot when i was a teenager..and i did it just for fun. Not for clicks or likes(there was no social media at that time anyway) or with the mind of "it needs to be perfect". I didnt even have fancy tools, i just used cheap pencils, papers, erasers, but i loved it..i drew a lot from kingdom hearts, final fantasy and Tomb raider. But nowadays this spark is gone...i dont have fun anymore, everything looks ugly to me or is pointless because of AI. I wish i could somehow find this feeling again...joy :(
Please don't retire yet. You're a great inspiration for us art babies. We still need your wisdom. 🥺❤ plus your intros make me laugh sometimes. Keep being great Sam! You're fire. 🔥
I was in a similar situation as Pewdiepie. I always loved to draw, and when I was in my early days of college, I really wanted to get better at drawing anime. Focused a lot on the faces, and eventually, I reached a point where I also picked up an anime artbook about anatomy and perspective. But this is where I fell off. My progress was slow, and I didn't have the patience and discipline to keep at it. So I slowly reached a point where I stopped completely. I'm also in my mid-30s and now I'm wondering if I should try again.
Something I took from one of the other reactions to this video is that he's used to having hard lines in his shading from the markers but when he switched to digital he used the airbrush. Seeing the difference in action really shows me the real meaning of that "don't use the airbrush" advice. I understood it, but I didn't REALLY understand it at the same time.
You can also just use a pencil for your guidelines and erase it after you draw over it. Sketching a rough outline with a pencil is a very common practice in painting, don't see why it wouldn't be applicable here.
What I love about PewDiePie's journey in art, from day one to 365, is he took himself which was just a MASSIVE hammer dude, and then he got into art and drawing and can now make some very very good art, that helped me get into drawing and art, as I can relate as i myself am a gamer and have been for 25 years of my life. And now I found a passion for art and drawing, especially digital art.
Yeah seriously. If he picks up his own style and practices it for a bit more he can literally become a manga artist. (not saying he should, idk if he wants to just saying that he can) because for example manga like attack on titan, one of most popular and one of best in the world had "bad" art in the beggining. It was still good dont get me wrong but the author improved by a mile, and look at pewdiepie already at this level just by practicing not even drawing any "official" pieces of art or anything.
The thing with this video, that he shows he’s progress and comes off as inspirational, is bco how grounded it is. He does note hate on his own art, progress or skills in any way, he talks about his plan, he’s progress and what he learned and would have done different. It’s such a grounded video, where he just wanted to show he did something else, and it gives inspiriation and shows how even the best is not best at everything the first day.
Yeah, when I first saw Pewdiepie's video, I did feel pretty encouraged when he opened up about his frustrations. Sometimes the progress includes backing up a few steps, and that can be disheartening at times. I say this as an (almost) 28 year old who's been drawing for 27 and a half years. I really wish I was further along than I am, or had time to dedicate to more Art, but you can't let yourself get too discouraged. I also gave a little "Hey! It's Sam!" when he put you in his video.
So tired of people on Twitter saying “of course he’s a millionaire and he has good genetics and he has tons of free time so of course he’s good at art” As if being a millionaire or any of those factors are the biggest difference between progress and no progress. Those folks are just upset that they have no discipline and lost focus and are now making excuses
Hey Sam you may not see this but just know both you and Pewdiepie got me back into art and getting my first sketchbook love your vids keep up the good work
When I first saw Sam in Pewdiepie's video, I thought "oh reaction video coming!" You did not disappoint! Pewdiepie's progression is amazing and inspiring for sure. Loved your video Sam and loved all this. Thank you for this!
“Don’t let go of your sketch book cause you get that direct connection between pencil and paper to improve” faaaaaxxxxx…. If I only I took that advice 😂
He really out here inspiring all of us 😊 I made a study of his painting style and it was pretty hard, I shared a step by step in my video. I really don't get how can he have haters he is just having fun exploring art.
I loved drawing as a kid and as you said, I don’t know why I stopped since I have so much fun doing it and after watching this video. It inspired me to start doing it again especially when I recall all my drawings flooding into my head as a watch the video😁
wow, I'm genuinely impressed. I always thought of wanting to make art at a pro level and I draw from time to time whenever I want an idea to be translated to paper but I never drew for a whole year straight. it's always on and off in my experience lol
I started drawing during my junior year of high school. I then went to college and got a minor in art. I practiced light / shadow, and proportions so much. When I look back I actually liked my style just starting out because it was just so free. I feel like being forced to draw with a criteria made my drawings stiff. It’s been years since I’ve drawn but I always tell myself I’ll get back into it. Loved using charcoal, pastel, and especially acrylic paints. The issue is setting up the studio to paint and I know I’d lock in 40+ hours obsessing over one painting. It’s SO much fun though. I felt like acrylic paints is what finally let me be creative again and it felt amazing.
Its about mindset. People can say whatever they want to say, but if you want to be good or great at anything, this is how it's done. I'm also an artist. Sick and tired of other artists saying its because of his money and how much time he has. You can have all the time and money in the world and it will not make you a better artist. It's not about how much time or resources you have, it's about how you use the time and resources available to you. What people need is to be focused and consistent. It's about discipline, not resources. If you're talking about resources, all you really need is a pencil and a blank piece of paper. Anyway, Pewdiepie did good. proud of him. I hope he keeps going, it would be cool if he did his own comic or book.
Hi Sam just wanted you to know that I started taking piano lessons since your last pewdie drawing reaction video, I wanted to do it since I was a kid but never have the chance and courage, thae way you encourage people by using pewdie as an example is really instructive, just wanted to say thank you, I am so glad you made these videos and glad I saw it.
Totally agree with your comment about drawing greyscale, in design school our professor started with us only being able to use greyscale. then after some time we got to pick 1 color, so we could use that 1 color and greyscale. then repeat till you have a palette. When I started learning to draw I did this again because its going to be easier to focus on shapes and how light works on things before adding in colors to the mix and everything that entails till you are ready and have a good understanding of the other aspects.

I think one of the reasons he learnt so quickly is the amount of discipline he has and for some of us it's really difficult to draw everyday and he deserves a lot of respect for that
Yeah and I saw people say its because he's rich and dosnt have to work a job so he has time. Like yeah but he still says he goes to the gym every day, and literally has a child that him and marzia take care of without a nanny. So its still impressive hes been practicing every day for a year.
Yeah, the discipline and constistence definitely were huge factor, and he's amazing for doing all that! But because many artists who react to his videos don't say anything but praise, some beginners get false expectations when they just starting, let's not forget that Felix does have engineering degree (or at least he did study for it) and he's also familiar with Photoshop. So he didn't start with literal 0 knowledge, he already had very good basics, he knew color stuff, shading, etc. I'd say that if you compare Felix to just a complete beginner at the start of their journey, Felix would have at least a year of advantage over the other guy.
What Felix achieved is still very impressive and with enough time and discipline anyone can achieve his level!
A big part is he focused early on in a way that let him grow he also had the dunning Kruger effect hit him a bit later which is normal for all artist the main thing is he focused early on, had fun with it and a good mindset along with his photoshop experience which while he may not view it as an art background absolutely is given even things like photobashing/photoshop to a degree transfer over to other artistic skills like understanding colour, good design and training what you see. Like he also said in his video I think him being older also helped a lot as a large portion of art is problem solving and we tend to be better at it when we are older. Another thing is he has a good support system, not only from his wife but his community and artist as a whole people who are professionals giving him feedback also helps a lot which is something a lot of self taught people do not find out till later a mentor will make your progress double most of the time he has a lot of stuff that just blended together really well and kept him motivated

I've tried drawing leisurely and even I understand that sentiment xD still, will probably try it out myself soon... it's been one of the things I want to add but get frustrated with myself for lol.
"OOK i can retire now"
not happening buddy.
brodie, it was a joke. he will prolly still retire b4 ur dumb ass.
Fr i would NOT ALLOW IT
Not letting him get out of the kitchen
the fact that felix is better than me at drawing in only a year is crazy. i think this is my hint to go back to sketching and doing it often
He's already have some knowledge when he used to do photoshop for a living in his early days of youtube, that's why his improvement speed in drawing is really fast
As an artist that has areas I know I need to improve in many areas. My comfort zone is portraits. However even there I need to improve. I'm feeling inspired to challenge myself in this way. Just draw! No finished pieces (well maybe some). Just practice.
@@lorax2076he brings it up in the original video
I feel so happy for felix. Everything he said on the video was sooo relatable. He's in deep, he bought books now too. 🥰😂
You're 1000% percent right
Starting from realism really builds all sorts of fundamentals whether it be colour, perspective, anatomy, structure..
12:45 I agree. I’m trying to relearn how to draw, and I’m 38! I haven’t drawn seriously since middle school 😩 I’ve made a lot of progress, but I’m not nearly where I want to be. I took the culinary route, and you want to learn the recipes before you add your own flavor to the recipe to make it yours, and drawing is the same. Work on anatomy and realism and then “add your own flavor”. Love your videos, btw! You’ve helped me so much these past few months, and I’m grateful that you’ve decided to share your knowledge with us! 💙 Thank you for not being a gatekeeper!
I love how his art journey really sparked a debate from people. Anyone can practice drawing and that all you need is a pen/pencil and a paper. The internet is an unlimited source of references but that has been overwhelming to some aspiring artists who are getting unmotivated because they don't know when and how to start.
I agree, now we even have skillshare but youtube is still better. I recently studied his painting style, and it was a real challenge. I’ve shared the whole process step-by-step in my video. Honestly, I don’t understand the criticism he gets - he’s just enjoying the creative process and exploring his art.
Sam and Pewdiepie are my favorite wholesome internet art dads and bring me so much inspiration to push forward with my own art 🥺
This is genuinely so amazing to see. Just some guy showing his art progression, its so lovely to see and it really shows that with discipline you CAN BE AN AMAZING ARTIST even if you didnt start drawing as a wee child. Its so amazing, idk how to describe it well
What PewDiePie said about having fun with drawing hit me, because recently I haven't been having that much fun with drawing because I'm trying so many different things and I'm struggling with all of them. Makes me want to go back to stuff I have fun drawing
my 6 year of expirience bro im cooked
(2)
Naaaah don't compare yourself to anyone. We have different progress. We are all different. You will dissapoint to yourself if you compare. Take it as inspiration brooo. Good luck!!
Art isn’t a race. Go at your own pace and enjoy the ride.
To get better you need to put in time and thoughtful practice. You don’t have to in order to enjoy art - but to get better as you’re complaining, you can’t just sit around complaining not doing anything
Bro I have been drawing for 5 years I absolutely do nit feel confident, we can do this ❤❤
I've been waiting for your reaction since his vid dropped
I like how Sam consistently looks traumatised throughout every video. Keep up the high quality content.
2:07 that frieren is so accurate i wouldn’t be surprised if i saw it in the manga
I was looking forward to your reaction
07:01 The fact that i'm going through that rn and hearing Sam talk about it really made me feel better ngl. I've been getting the feeling as if i was lagging behind because of seeing other people's progress and improvement in such a sort time span. It made me stop practicing because I've been drawing since i was, like, 10 and now have stopped making any prgress. So I'll try clearing up my mind again and start drawing once more after i'm done with my exams and such. Thank you Sam I gotta love you and your advice !!
Felix and Sam collab when?
im aware he is in japan and sams in canada but i think it'd be great to see them call and maybe sam could teach him procreate tips
Collab about what? Drawing together?
@@specialzeroH8yup. i think it would be cool if they showed each other tips about art that the other may not know (or trying to draw in each others styles.)
12:10 fr, I had been drawing anime characters for the past 6 years (since I was 13) but only since last year my interest started shifting towards realistic art (taking reference from Pinterest (you know why Sam 🌚)) but one thing I realised is that once I practiced drawing realistic art, drawing anime became much easier than it used to be, so guys do try drawing realistic art
I have a lot of respect for him staying consistent with it and I'm genuinely happy for his progress. It's also a little hard for me to be inspired by it though... I look at the progress I make in 100 days as opposed to him and just think, "Maybe I should just quit, this is as far as I can go..." I won't quit, I love art, but I'm having a very hard time staying positive...
For real tho it is hard to stay consistent 😒 I made a study of his painting style and it was pretty hard, I shared a step by step in my video. I really don't get how can he have haters he is just having fun exploring art.
I've thought about this a lot: how someone will pick up art later in life and just excel at it. Seemingly catching up to lifelong artists in no time. And I have a few ideas why this might be..
1. This beginner has ZERO attachment to their art outcome. Meaning, they haven't spent countless years questioning themselves and their art. They aren't holding their creation to a high standard. There's likely no pressure, and so they just practice and create - freely. The fun is the focus! If any other you are like me, then half the battle of being an artist is overcoming your own fear of creating badly. Their beginner mindset allows them to flourish!
2. XP Multiplier. The more skills we learn, the better we become at learning. So we can learn skills much faster later in life.
But the main point is, don't let these kind of beginners discourage any of you! If someone overtakes you in a year that takes nothing away from your journey. Everyone has their own brain, path, and way of living.
now i want to draw. i had an art block for a reallyyy long time and i really didnt have time either. watching this video is making me want to draw again. THANK YOU SAMMMM!!!!
As someone who has always loved art, but never formally trained in it(whether in a school or from some online source) and just did it for fun, PewDiePie's video came as an awakening call. Like, from past few years, i havent been able to do art as much as i would like. Job demands my time and rest of the time, i just dont do art..and then the guilt haunts me later as i am not improving what so ever. He did, just one or two sketches daily. Not complete detailed finishes, but rough sketches, to get his brain wired for correct proportions.
I feel so proud of him, and almost embarassed on myself that I did not do something so small and as a result I missed out on so much improvement. Not just art, but in other facets of my life as well. I dunno man, this is way too inspirational for me. It made me feel bad for a while but then it also hyped me up...
Its rather insane how motivational these videos are. Two days ago I did an 10 minutes sketches with random promt challenges. And I got an Skull. And the difference of thatt skull and a skull I did half an year ago was massive. And I did it in lesser time than I did half year ago. Sometimes improvement is not visible in the main strenght but can still see the improvement in other areas.
Him ask if hes ok. Remends me of when I was in a deep depressed state. Drawing was more than fun. It was a release. Time didnt matter. Nothing mattered. All that mattered was what I was seing in my head... Characters, in pain, triumphant, badass, Sad, cold... I wasnt fatigued by it. I wasnt bored. I look forward to it. Sometimes I didnt even know what it would be... Now that I am not as depressed. Its so damn difficult to draw.
I messed up all of my drawings for almost 2 whole weeks now, and this is the video i didn't knew i needed to feel inspired again. I realised i'm not even having fun drawing anymore and i'm just drawing to get better at it, so everytime i messed up i just got mad and stopped what i was doing instead of trying to draw something that make me come out of my comfort zone. Anyway great video like always
You and Pewdiepie did make me want to draw more. I’ve been drawing everyday for the last six months and I’ve been making some good progress!
When I first watched PewDiePie's video I was really excited to see Sam in his video really loved how he mentioned Sam. ❤❤
I've been drawing since 2019. My art has significantly improved but I feel like compared to PewDiePie I have barely improved. I hate my art but I still draw. It's like therapy to me. I know its weird af for me to just put this out there randomly but Im gonna do it anyway. I started off by watching drawing tutorials and following along. Tho most of my old art was lost when my aunt ripped them all to shreds I still remember vividly what it was like completing my first artwork. Eventually I kept on drawing and drawing. Always challenging myself and trying new things. However, last year I became bored of drawing using yt videos so I began teaching myself how to draw without them. I went back and taught myself the basics and ever since learning how to draw a head I've stagnated heavily. Just a few months ago I met this guy at senior school. He was a year above me and he was an art guru. Or atleast I called him that. His art inspired me heavily and since then I've been trying to learn how to draw full bodies and dynamic poses. I'm not the best at faces either. Year I see people like PewDiePie getting this good in a single year. Some people are just born great man😂
You know what same stuff with me I got a great talent of art when I took art seriously I improved tremendously my anatomy knowledge was really great but my passion was lost in the process because I left my previous style of comic book I was just drawing once in a week so no improving for me just recently I found passion in digital art but when I saw pewdiepie I got little jealous even though I am not a jealous person at all but I know it is not me too alot of People probably got jealous because even though he is not my level he improved way fast way fast even with a talent I wasnt as good
I'll give you an advice as an fellow artist ^~^
Don't draw from tutorials, draw life. Life is the best resources for reference, studies and inspiration.
Meet like minded people, share your art, get and give feedback, and occasional draw what is FUN for you and try new things/mediums ^~^
It's sth I need to remind myself often as well ^^`
just keep in you mind, that he has all the time on earth and defenetly can afford drawing some time everyday, while you probably have other things to do and draw at your free time, it's not about time, it's about practice ✨✨
@nichelbichel6464 Thanks for the advice. I really appreciate it.❤️
@@3dgoes2d yeah he probably have a lot of time free but still his consistency should be appreciated
Honestly I partially started drawing recently because of Pewdiepie's video. It's almost 6 months since I started and I don't see myself stopping anytime soon. Btw I'm pretty sure that's how I found your channel and now I'm addicted and watch your every video :D
Hey if you just started 6 months ago, do you mind giving me some tips? im also looking to start but not sure where
@@irule10338not commenter, but i started with a pencil and paper, went to pinterest and drew anything i like.
after a while i learn the fundamentals and focus on 1 parts per study
@@irule10338 Honestly the best tips i feel like I can give is to draw from a reference a lot. Don't be a perfectionist when it comes to lines, proportions are way more important and it's okay for drawings to be rough. Learn to observe, with time you'll notice more and more details that make objects look like they do and putting it on canvas will be the easy part. Oh and materials barely matter. Pencil and piece of paper is all you need to start. Good luck :)
Edit: Almost forgot the most important one, have fun! :D
9:24 pewdiepie is speedrunning his art journey
2:02 sam felt attacked
1:23 That Laugh sounded very Sadistic 😨
His progress has definitely inspired me. For a while I basically gave up on drawing and I was at a point where I was thinking I might give it up for good (though I still did 3D and texture painting). But after his second video, it kinda lit a fire in me to finally put in the effort needed to get my illustration skills up to snuff. Still feels like I got a long ways to go, but channels like yours and others help inspire me to keep plugging away at it.
I never drew as a kid, but a few months ago i wanted to start this journey because I thought art was cool. But it‘s so hard to do something you never had a passion for. But these videos keep me motivated and after drawing for some time I realised it is a part of my life now and that makes me happy.
As a passionate vocal coach, honestly I'm gonna start showing people your video here. Cause this just shows the struggles that we all go through as artists and what we need to do to overcome them! Thank you
im drawing this huge LOTR map and i got really discouraged but this vid inspired me to continue.
He is inspiring all of us 😊 I recently studied his painting style, and it was a real challenge. I’ve shared the whole process step-by-step in my video. Honestly, I don’t understand the criticism he gets - he’s just enjoying the creative process and exploring his art.
Consistency in genuinely great art to me is way better than coming up with a master work and comparing yourself to that every time. Comparing what he did day one to day 365 he has come a loooooong way.
Beautiful how yall artists support each other 🎉😂
@11:38 that’s why I hate AI art even more. Drawing is a human experience to the core. It’s how we as a species have always been creative and told stories. Humans are meant to make art 💙
I hate people who use it and post it just like that and profit from it
I understand why you hate ai art because people stealing the art made by a machine takes away the effort made by artist almost like if you just got someone to put in the work for you BUT have you ever thought about just using Ai as a way to get references almost like a quick Google search but slightly more accurate 😅
@@anxiouskiddo65using mutilated ai art as reference wont help u lmao
@@anxiouskiddo65 I would warn against that. Do not use ai for reference.
Im an artist and i only started using ai recently for random projects i had no plans to make money from while using a mixture of hand drawn art. It just hurts way too badly to try to get something out for it and it would only make the process a lot slower. Like i legit can draw, but my body has other plans especially during colder weather.
14:02 Who would’ve thought you made the album art for "At My Worst" by Pink Sweats feat. Kehlani!! 🔥🔥🔥
i used to love drawing when i was a kid too. but i completely forgetten about it.. until i started college. i was so undecided to the course i’m choosing… and end up taking an art related course.. then i realize the passion and love i used to put in drawing back when i was a kid.. now im 3rd yr and having a great time in art industry. im just happy with this course, i do really love this. im glad i was able to continue something i used to love when i was a kid. i hope i can somehow find any of my old drawings in my house lol
that's sick, happened to me as well! first I went to programming college, and then switched to animation at university
so happy with the outcome
I think pewdiepie’s story is really encouraging! It’s proof that if you want to get good at something, all you have to do is put the time and effort into it! Talent and skill can come from nowhere and can be developed from nothing.
Sam, thank you for sharing his video (otherwise I wouldn’t have watched it) and thank you for all the steps you go through to teach people art! I’ve learned so much from you and my digital art is getting better 🫶🏽
5:50 this is what I'm missing .. fun... 😢 i used to draw a lot when i was a teenager..and i did it just for fun. Not for clicks or likes(there was no social media at that time anyway) or with the mind of "it needs to be perfect". I didnt even have fancy tools, i just used cheap pencils, papers, erasers, but i loved it..i drew a lot from kingdom hearts, final fantasy and Tomb raider. But nowadays this spark is gone...i dont have fun anymore, everything looks ugly to me or is pointless because of AI. I wish i could somehow find this feeling again...joy :(
Please don't retire yet. You're a great inspiration for us art babies. We still need your wisdom. 🥺❤ plus your intros make me laugh sometimes. Keep being great Sam! You're fire. 🔥
I stopped drawing digitally last week because I wasn't used to drawing on a screen and only of a paper, this has motivated me to try again 😅💗
I was in a similar situation as Pewdiepie. I always loved to draw, and when I was in my early days of college, I really wanted to get better at drawing anime. Focused a lot on the faces, and eventually, I reached a point where I also picked up an anime artbook about anatomy and perspective. But this is where I fell off. My progress was slow, and I didn't have the patience and discipline to keep at it. So I slowly reached a point where I stopped completely. I'm also in my mid-30s and now I'm wondering if I should try again.
Sam was looking at Felixs whole time like a proud father of hes sun.
I like how you can slowly see his own unique art style starting to shine. It's very inspiring.
Can't wait to go back to drawing, this inspired me so much. I also know what I want to draw finally
Something I took from one of the other reactions to this video is that he's used to having hard lines in his shading from the markers but when he switched to digital he used the airbrush. Seeing the difference in action really shows me the real meaning of that "don't use the airbrush" advice. I understood it, but I didn't REALLY understand it at the same time.
omg yayy i was wating for this
This really inspires me a lot. When i get my drawing tablet, i am going to put time into this
You can also just use a pencil for your guidelines and erase it after you draw over it. Sketching a rough outline with a pencil is a very common practice in painting, don't see why it wouldn't be applicable here.
This video is so wholesome. Just one artist respecting another. 😊
the moment i saw pewd’s video i instantly knew sam was gonna do a reaction video 😩♥️
What I love about PewDiePie's journey in art, from day one to 365, is he took himself which was just a MASSIVE hammer dude, and then he got into art and drawing and can now make some very very good art, that helped me get into drawing and art, as I can relate as i myself am a gamer and have been for 25 years of my life. And now I found a passion for art and drawing, especially digital art.
Been waiting for bro to react to this 😭
First time view in Art, SamDoesArts, and PewDiePie orbit. This video was great, and introduced me to three new channels. Thank you!
he already can be a manga/manhwa artist 🤔 the perspectives and angles danggg, now i think i need to giveup seeing him learned so fast 🤣
Yeah seriously. If he picks up his own style and practices it for a bit more he can literally become a manga artist. (not saying he should, idk if he wants to just saying that he can) because for example manga like attack on titan, one of most popular and one of best in the world had "bad" art in the beggining. It was still good dont get me wrong but the author improved by a mile, and look at pewdiepie already at this level just by practicing not even drawing any "official" pieces of art or anything.
The thing with this video, that he shows he’s progress and comes off as inspirational, is bco how grounded it is. He does note hate on his own art, progress or skills in any way, he talks about his plan, he’s progress and what he learned and would have done different. It’s such a grounded video, where he just wanted to show he did something else, and it gives inspiriation and shows how even the best is not best at everything the first day.
I’m just waiting for the pewdiepie and Samdoesart! Collab
Yeah, when I first saw Pewdiepie's video, I did feel pretty encouraged when he opened up about his frustrations. Sometimes the progress includes backing up a few steps, and that can be disheartening at times. I say this as an (almost) 28 year old who's been drawing for 27 and a half years. I really wish I was further along than I am, or had time to dedicate to more Art, but you can't let yourself get too discouraged. I also gave a little "Hey! It's Sam!" when he put you in his video.
Fastest click in my entire life
FR😂
I have no doubt he will inspire lots of kids to try art. That’s pretty amazing
12:16 "One Piece" of advice 🌚
So refreshing to see your review on Pewdiepie’s drawing videos, Twitter is always crying over Felix’s art.
Sam is the Asian Art Dad every art baby needs!!!😂😂
i just love it when Sam reacts to other people drawing and their art
So tired of people on Twitter saying “of course he’s a millionaire and he has good genetics and he has tons of free time so of course he’s good at art”
As if being a millionaire or any of those factors are the biggest difference between progress and no progress. Those folks are just upset that they have no discipline and lost focus and are now making excuses
and most of the "artist" that criticized him are AI artist
how ironic
Bro I'm poor asf but I'm doing my best to improve my art, people are just making blatant excuses
Hey Sam you may not see this but just know both you and Pewdiepie got me back into art and getting my first sketchbook love your vids keep up the good work
Sam in pewdiepies video was not on my 2024 calendar.
The "Ehh this ones still better" is so real 😭 Its like we randomly make a really good one that we just can't top
His reaction to being in Pewdiepie's video was priceless😂
Amazing, i think a reason he was so good was also due to him consistently trying and finding ways to improve.
He's one of us now he can't escape the art loop 😂😂
When I first saw Sam in Pewdiepie's video, I thought "oh reaction video coming!" You did not disappoint!
Pewdiepie's progression is amazing and inspiring for sure. Loved your video Sam and loved all this. Thank you for this!
“Don’t let go of your sketch book cause you get that direct connection between pencil and paper to improve” faaaaaxxxxx….
If I only I took that advice 😂
I have also started doing the same thing because I was already thinking about it and then seeing pewds do it really gave me the push I needed!
He really out here inspiring all of us 😊 I made a study of his painting style and it was pretty hard, I shared a step by step in my video. I really don't get how can he have haters he is just having fun exploring art.
I loved drawing as a kid and as you said, I don’t know why I stopped since I have so much fun doing it and after watching this video. It inspired me to start doing it again especially when I recall all my drawings flooding into my head as a watch the video😁
wait! anyone noticed sam's reaction in the vid and in the vid's vid is same!! lmao😂😂
Yuppp
Felix is absolutely INSANE dude WHAT, He's improving so FAST WTF???? Felix is AMAZING!!! ❤
wow, I'm genuinely impressed. I always thought of wanting to make art at a pro level and I draw from time to time whenever I want an idea to be translated to paper but I never drew for a whole year straight. it's always on and off in my experience lol
I started drawing during my junior year of high school. I then went to college and got a minor in art. I practiced light / shadow, and proportions so much. When I look back I actually liked my style just starting out because it was just so free. I feel like being forced to draw with a criteria made my drawings stiff. It’s been years since I’ve drawn but I always tell myself I’ll get back into it. Loved using charcoal, pastel, and especially acrylic paints. The issue is setting up the studio to paint and I know I’d lock in 40+ hours obsessing over one painting. It’s SO much fun though. I felt like acrylic paints is what finally let me be creative again and it felt amazing.
HA twelve seconds
Every time someone reviews pewdiepie’s art I get hope(?) He’s doing so well!!
Quick we need to initiate pewdiepie into the art babies-
Or did we already…? I forgot
Its about mindset. People can say whatever they want to say, but if you want to be good or great at anything, this is how it's done. I'm also an artist. Sick and tired of other artists saying its because of his money and how much time he has. You can have all the time and money in the world and it will not make you a better artist. It's not about how much time or resources you have, it's about how you use the time and resources available to you. What people need is to be focused and consistent. It's about discipline, not resources. If you're talking about resources, all you really need is a pencil and a blank piece of paper. Anyway, Pewdiepie did good. proud of him. I hope he keeps going, it would be cool if he did his own comic or book.
Hi Sam just wanted you to know that I started taking piano lessons since your last pewdie drawing reaction video, I wanted to do it since I was a kid but never have the chance and courage, thae way you encourage people by using pewdie as an example is really instructive, just wanted to say thank you, I am so glad you made these videos and glad I saw it.
Hey Sam! I just got my Sam's art book. It's amazing and definitely worth the wait!! Thank you for being such an inspiration to me. ❤
thanks Sam for letting me discover this pewdiepie fellow, hope he makes it w/e he wants to do, such a positive attitude, i like him
i was waiting thiss!! OMG sam's reaction!!
i love how while reacting to others videos or just in general he also gives us his point of view and advice. not a lot of people do that.
Totally agree with your comment about drawing greyscale, in design school our professor started with us only being able to use greyscale. then after some time we got to pick 1 color, so we could use that 1 color and greyscale. then repeat till you have a palette. When I started learning to draw I did this again because its going to be easier to focus on shapes and how light works on things before adding in colors to the mix and everything that entails till you are ready and have a good understanding of the other aspects.
