- Join along as I take you through a tour of my art journey! From getting inspired by Spider-Verse in Christmas of 2018, to starting February 2019 to draw for the first time. Practicing in the mornings and night, to getting hired professionally at multiple gigs 3 years later.

Each time I experience burn out, I watch this video and get motivated again to continue the day after!😊❤
Your practice schedule sounds very similar to what I've found myself doing lately, just drawing and practicing in any pocket of time possible. Good work man!
I've watched this video already 5 times ! It's so inspiring and motivating 😁👍
Wow I just saw your post when you started drawing! I see you became a professional at this great to see! I have been drawing since I was 22 i tried to be a artist for years but it never worked out. Now i am 29 and starting to think I should give it a try again. Great work and really impressive that you became this good in 3 years!
This is Freaking cool.. especially advice of asking/looking for "guidance at every step in initial days" is not goto thing.
Yes, it's a big one! So many people get too caught up in the little steps, when a huge broad skill like art is going to be a years-long journey. Asking after one quick sketch is, ultimately, meaningless :p
this is amazing so inspirational good job
Just watched, it’s impressive how you improved so quickly. Very inspiring thanks for sharing your experience.
Fantastic. Thanks a lot for sharing.
Happy to share! I appreciate you taking the time
This is so helpful! Thanks so much :)
Oh that's great, I'm glad it was! Thanks for stopping by
Hello Alex, your videos and especially your curriculum list..thank you very much....in this video you mentioned about how you google everything before starting a skill....I think it would be really helpful to make a video showing your process of searching and what do you look for..etc, thanks in advance!
Sure! That's a good topic. I'm pretty busy for the next couple months, but I'll add that idea to my video list. Thanks!
It really comes down to searching, finding the communities of a hobby, and looking for guides on "how to get good" at something. You read through enough of them, and you start to identify common traits. You can take the knowledge you gain and form your own strategy to tackle the most important parts, which will get you a leg up on the skill much faster than if you went in blind
Hi! Thanks for sharing your point of view with great politeness. I think you have strong social skills that are helping you in your journey. In my youth I was unnecessary rude several times and i am sure that it closed some doors for me.
Hey bud, thank you for the kind words. I do try to stay positive and see the positivity in people's remarks. It's advice I've seen before, to always assume that people are coming from a point-of-view of positive intent, rather than make intent.
That change in mindset helps a lot when approaching people or navigating a conversation
This is really inspiring. I’ve just started the CGMA Absolute Beginners course and have been finding it a bit tough since I’ve got 0 experience, which has been a bit discouraging but I’m not giving up. I picked up the full version of your PDF a while back and found CGMA through that - thanks for all your videos and posts
Hey there! Thanks so much for reaching out - I really appreciate the support and I'm glad ai've been able to offer some help.
Try not to feel discouraged! Art, thankfully, is a skill that you can build like any other. Think of every drawing as a repetition in a weight lifting set - one won't do much. But a bunch of proper form, repeatedly, just a little bit harder each time you go, results in you being quite strong in the long run. It works Kuch the same way. And just like everybody strong at the gym had to work to get there, so too has every artist!
And you're just as capable. Wish you the best
@@AlexHuneycutt Thanks Alex, that's a really great analogy :)
Great work! How many hours would you guess you put in over those 3 years?
is there a way we can look at these ourselves?
Huh??? Where's the "zero"? Your first attempts are 10,000 times better than anything I can do. This isn't inspiring, this just worries me.
You should stop comparing yourself with others and it's incredibly toxic to blame him for having good observation skills
He is inspiring because he managed to achieve his goal by putting a lot of work and optimizing as much as possible.
Just like fitness, some people start at different baselines, but that doesn't determine their maximum potential. Early on the quality of your drawings really doesn't matter, because the first thing you need to develop is just a habit for drawing often. Drawing for fifteen minutes can be exhausting when you're a beginner, but it gets way easier the more familiar it is. From there you'll gradually start to solve some of the things you struggle with. Good luck with your art journey!
