I guess wikihow article was oriented not on learning artist, but on people that are gonna try to draw some doodles and then forget about if for the rest of their lives
lmaoooo passerbys
@@MohammedAgbadi sounds kinda dismissive of the beginners who haven't been doodling and sketching since they could clutch a pencil in kindergarten. No doubt the wikihow stuff could use some improvement, but my bro if someone wants to try drawing, why laugh at them just cos they don't intend to work as illustrators or whatever :'(
@@msilverwolf8994 I agree, if someone wants to draw on the off chance they aren’t feeling well or something, or just want to kill time, they shouldn’t be made fun of
Don’t laugh at them, laugh at the tutorial
@@msilverwolf8994 They're not talking about those people because those people don't quit, they learn and grow. Which, is commendable
Contour drawing is actually pretty good for beginners, I actually learned this in an art class at my school. It teaches beginners to work in their observational skills.
Thanks for the tips! i never really tried it even in school
I also had to do this in middle school, it was very far from my favorite thing to do but I'm so thankful we had to do that now
100%, it was brilliant for life drawing. Negative spaces + shapes wooo
I didn’t know the significance of the exercise until much later in my drawing career. It can be a lot of fun!
My drawing tip: To make all drawing of faces more accurate is to measure the negative space. Approximate what isn't there. Example: if you draw a face and it doesn't look right, take notice of the distances that are not the main features of the face. The space between the eyes or eyebrows, the size of the cheeks the distance between the mouth and chin. It's a very common problem with starters.
Thanks!

Solid advice there, mate. Also, a good way to notice it is to see your drawing mirrored. Many of the flaws will become evident. I read that online quite a while ago, and it's something that has helped me greatly.
Sometimes I feel that I never learn anything while drawing. I can see that my art is getting better, and then still I find myself struggling with the most basic things.
Art is hard…
its just how it is tbh. you get better with time and experience and ALOT of trial and error. as you grow your visual library and take inspo from other artists you'll see that every form of art is just built on the same fundamentals and the only thing different is the style
i can relate
I'm so glad i grew up as an artist watching people like ethan becker and rossdraws to teach me how to draw instead of these tutorials on wikihow honestly
love both of them they so goo! and modernday james too and marco bucci so good
Sorry, yes
@@MohammedAgbadi Aswell as sinix anatomy quick tips
@@deadbush9857 ikr, his tips help me a lot, i used to draw more cartoon/anime style until I wanted to change and his tutorials made me so much better in a short time!
I honestly feel the same, glad I didn't fall into most of the basic "How to Draw X" that have the same energy as wikihow. Started looking up my favorite artists I had been eyeing on for a while before I got interested right into illustration, more and more artists started popping up on my feed that I'd also gotten interested in. Looking back on these types of tutorials feels like it was only meant to help you get done with school art projects forced onto you.
"Don't go searching for water in the desert in the middle of summer..." now THAT'S what I call words of wisdom!
lessgooooo
I started to learn drawing "once and for all" in adulthood and the very first thing I did was filling several printer paper pages with circles, boxes and cylinders to strengthen hand to eye coordination and to get better control on circles, boxes and cylinders as foundation work and to get some perspective. It helped immensely honestly since I was so behind in milage of drawing to otherwise build the feel for it gradually since childhood. It was tedious but mega helpful.
Yeah! It's not a super uncommon practice at all. In fact I think I distantly remember doing the same for a little while, though I got bored and stopped pretty quick haha. And things like the drawabox course actually force you to do a bunch of lines and shapes only at the beginning! It's a great way to improve line confidence without getting bogged down with thinking about anatomy, posing, clothing, that kind of thing. :]
This is why my drawing prof told us to draw every day! ***NOT make a completed piece every single day, just spend time drawing something on paper each day. To keep the fine motor control developed, and to allow your own personal style to eventually emerge
@@klaratehcoolcat I did that as well! When I was too tired to draw I drew a mouse or hedgehog so my older sketchbooks have so many random mice in it from bad days 😂
I'm so glad this is back. TH-cam is so annoying like OMG. But your videos are always really funny and interesting!
Thank you so much!!
@@MohammedAgbadi finally!
I remember treating wikihow articles like the bible 😭😭
BROOOOOOO- During early puberty (not tween years tho) I read them like they were the only way to survive
"like the Bible" "like they were the only way to survive" bruh these comments are hilarious 🤣😭
5:19 The significance of contour line drawing relates to the "draw what you see, not what you think" mantra, this is a drawing exercise that helps an artist train their brain to turn off their visual library when using a reference, since it can feel uncomfortable and difficult to do that at first. This allows artists to improve their visual library and (most importantly) use references to replace bad or innacurate parts of it, which effects parts of a drawing that feel frustrating. Artists who can't easily switch off automatically interpreting images with their visual library tend to dislike using references and don't see the point of them, or feel like they draw poorly from memory and make the same mistakes over and over again. So this exercise can help make a reference more beneficial to your art proccess.
I always use references and I still make the same mistakes every time. 🙃
YOU FIXED THE DEVICE RESTRICTION THING THANK GOD
better late than never!
I'm mostly self-taught, but I'm glad I have friends who are far more skilled than I as well as guys like Marc Brunet and Sinix for advice when I'm stuck.
sameee
@@smal5504 I found you again lol.
@@cupio-stardust well hello there
wikihow is so good that only immortal beings can understand it
Lmaoo demigods and loki
My mentor had me blind contour. Not entirely looking away from my image though. He had me hold my pencil at the eraser, very loose, and I could never lift my pencil from the page. From there, I did outlines of figures that I was seeing, being allowed to look back at my paper the entire time. We did this to loosen me up and make my male figures less stiff. Totally worked too!
Lol I remember following tutorials in wikihow back in 2013
lmaooooo fr? on a scale of 1/10 how did you improve?
I think like 3/10 I think i learned hatching that time
This is unironically stuff I learned in my high school art class but somehow more helpful (I dropped that class really fast)
Same here but there’s no a lot of other electives I want to do so I just get stuck with it
@@spaceaster I dropped that specific class and made my own course online but they don't know that 🤫
My art teacher hated drawing humans so I learned nothing about it. We did a lot of landscapes and objects, but we also used different media so I guess we didn't have much time to focus on anything. Sketching, pastels, charcoal, painting, paper mache, sewing, collages... we did everything but nothing. I loved art but I am a terrible artist for never having focused on a one to few topics. I'd have been happy sticking with sketching, learning to properly colour, and maybe a little sewing on the side bc it was fun.
@@Nakia11798 Sometimes it's better to be self taught and learn at your own pace
Contour drawing is extremely beneficial in the fundamentals of art; it's one of the first things I learned in art school. Essentially, the way it's explained, is that students need to learn the difference between simply observing, and actually analyzing, a subject (drawing what you think you see vs. what you actually see). Art professors will typically have you do contour drawings so you can grasp form and planes rather than diluting your focus with tone and color. It's a good starting point, and I recommend it to anyone who's starting out with art!
Doing a sustained gesture of your face in a mirror, in just contour, helps you analyze your face, and keeps you from reverting to an iconographic image in your head of what you think you're seeing. Along with tools like straight-line inspection, and a proportional frame, you can get a really accurate drawing in less time than just free-handing multiple gestural sketches and shapes!
Am 15 years old and I still wonder how I notice so many artists making mistakes on the Internet and I genuinely think that am not even good at drawing
nah its' okay. we all feel the same way! you improve everyday the more you practice! keep going
I've gotten to the "look at the object and just draw". To be fair, it's not the worst advice, I have a hard time drawing from tutorials, how to books, and even tracing. I've always been a draw what I'm looking at kind of person, but I digress, while not the worst, they really should have the various ways of teaching how to draw, for those who learn differently. Different strokes, for different folks and all that.
This is why we weren't supposed to copy our homework from Wikipedia. It's not very good XD
They're trying to teach a very non linear skill with thousands of resources in a step by step tutorial like your trying to learn how to whistle (something I totally know how to do.....)
You right?? It feels like an ai robot putting things together.
It wouldn’t surprise me if the reason the gesture drawing was clothed is because whoever got the final day of what went up decided they couldn’t have a “naked lady” on the article. I’ve also heard their artist are required to do a BUNCH of articles really quick so that’s why the subreddit r/disneyvacation exists lol
from what ive experienced and noticed over the years, developing your artstyle is a priority more than anything, since you can learn funadamentals that compliments specifically for your artstyle, ive seen and talked to people that have studied heavily on anatomy but cant understand why it just doesnt seem to work for them
even on Pinterest I still see some related tips like you say on the video Abt wiki and it's ridiculous that the anatomy can be more confusing when they were doing body angles
One minute in and I had to pause this video and write this down
cuz sadly I used to see tutorials on how to draw anime on wikihow and it didn't go well (I used to be broke af that I couldn't afford to waste internet on 15 minute long videos) because the picture guidance is like when you look away for one second during a math class.
So glad I saw other more professional stuff later
only ogs remember when this video wasn't available on ur device lol
this alr looks good though
lfg!!! ogs tap in!
man, watching this has honestly kinda boosted my confidence in my art lmao
Contour drawing (following the object outline without looking at ur paper) is actually really great for hand-eye coordination
The best way to learn how to draw is to be into things nobody around you is into and be fueled by pure spite and occasionally, horniness.
genuinely the most powerful motivator
Contour drawing is a exercise recommended by Kimon Nikolaïdes and Betty Edwards. Two famous art teachers. It helped me a lot
Finally a video I can watch on my device
whew! thank god damn!
I really like wikihow lol. The illustrations for the instructions are kinda entertaining
I’m so glad I went to LavenderTowne, Kooleen, and ItsAJArt for tips on drawing and not wikihow
We believe in Lavendertowne supremacy
note to self: stay far away from wikihow as a beginner artist 😂
I think it's more oriented at kids and complete beginners because the fundamentals you referred to are hard work and can be boring, taking too long to make fun stuff. For a complete beginner or a child, this would be discouraging. Now after having fun, the person might want to proceed to improve, then the hard comes in and they stay with it even if it gets frustrating and discouraging still, there's a need for it.
i just found your channel, i love your humor and how you explain things! your voice is very lovely as well
6:11 will haunt me in my dreams forever 😨
lmaoooo that's top tier art
awesome informative vids as always bro!
Appreciate it!
Mohammed out here roasting all these drawings in that first tutorial, but all I see is the exact kind of things someone who makes art professionally for commercial clients or children's books would draw. It looks generic and bland, yes, but I suspect it's supposed to be. I've seen this art style in classroom stuff for schools, in textbooks, in employee handbooks, on company websites, on advertisements, and in damn near 50% of every children's books ever made.
I think the wiki how article was made for a total beginner and I think for a total beginner many of those tutorials are helpful. And at the end The article is just called "How to Draw" which doesn't imply that a high skill will be thaught to you.
I think they’re trying to introduce blind contour at 5:32 but they’re doing a very bad job of it. It’s a method that trains the brain to draw without looking at what your drawing. Basically it’s hand-eye coordination. It’s a great learning tool but they did a terrible job explaining it.
Omg this wiki page is identical to my art teachers classes- :00000
Oh gosh. As soon as a saw the sphere with the shading, knew it will go down to sh*tter.
Btw, who is the artist from @5:30? That looks awesome!
maybe if you had paid attention he was talking about kim jung gi
That was a bizarre moment of TH-cam. But it's back. Hi
Ughum. Huuu
For the algoooorithm!
lesgooo!!! youtube be jacking the kid, buh issall good
Good video as always!!! ❤️❤️
Will you be at Lightbox Expo this year? I’d love some merch if so.
When I wanted to learn to draw Chibis last month, I think I read this article. I was so annoyed. I just ended up looking for specific articles and TH-cam videos. I don’t have time for that. The whole grid lines are extremely confusing. Even when I was in art school. I never learn.
"But you're not Kim Jung Gi!"
I now know how that start industry scientist felt when he couldn't make a copy of Iron man's reactor.

Everywhere I go
I see that advertisement
smh dang
Mohammed, You face looking good today. What you using?! Teach me!
aye lets go!!!!! that new routine doing wonders!
I love the part of drawing a woman where your drawing transforms into a flamingo!
Also using a square for a female character isn't that good usually use more triangle shapes.
HOW DID U GET THE TROOM TROOM VOICE 😭
lmaoooo i got it from tts tiktok lmaooo!! hahhaha
The squiggly lines and zigzags etc. are a very common warm-up in drawing schools.
The wikihow was indeed confusing and not the best but I thought you were overly critical of it.
I know having a drama channel and being overly critical of things can get your channel to pop, but you’re not like that.
Don’t get it get to you. The good artists of TH-cam don’t do that, only the wannabes, (remember creepshow art? Yeah, she’s a good example), and you know your stuff, you’re a great professional.
Don’t let internet’s rotten preference on high drama, low quality change your channel.
I can never follow drawing tutorials. I just use reference image or my imagination and try my best
Honestly i used wikihow A LOT in middle school
lmaoooo dayum! you learn anything from it?
@@MohammedAgbadi no :/
@@ghosthuntinbun5947 ouch 😰 but you have TH-cam now

Some of my better drawings started as stick figures so I could make a pose.
Hate that the wikihow is exactly how my teachers in art school taught me how to draw TT
Yay it available
Sometimes I feel like people are trolling on wikihow
WHAT WERE THEY THINKING!?

jackkkkkkkk!
the thumbnail reminds me of how in an art class my teacher taught the other kids how to do a profile with everything perfectly lines up ect while i didnt follow it and used my own style (because not all faces r perfectly proportional) and i got in trouble for it....she was a weird teacher
As someone whose a beginner furry artist I been learning from other artists and I thank them for my improvements. I still need to learn how to draw shading, perspective and more diverse poses
Lol the wrong device thing is fixed, anyways nice video man 👍
My bad! i had no idea what happened
I did lines in my 2nd grade art class once, once. But the light source might be useful ig?
These are basically the drawing lessons you'd get in school or college. Lines, forms, blind contours. aint worth the hate
OMG YAY IT'S WORKING NOW
thankgod!
Well…. That whole thing of not making the hair have enough volume, is just part of the learning process.
I had the same issue making my own characters, and I also made the hair look somewhat….. bland.
It takes time as well, so maybe this person who made that tutorial of the face is some sort of intermediate level, but not a professional. They most likely just wanted to share their process, in hopes it might help people.

I'll give the author some credit; The woman they ended up drawing for the tutorial would fit right in with Trip and Grace from Façade
I used these articles growing up. The one I followed said to copy others. 💀
i started on wiki how, my first tutorial was "How to draw manga" it's really good for begginers, but after, found another way, because wikihow dosen't explain you anything, it juste say "draw like me"
I need that background music
Always seen wikihow as a spoof website... all the example how-tos have been made into memes 😄 i went in with a list of stuff to see for myself a few years back and the content was either written by a troll, someone who didn't know their subject matter or if they did somewhat the instructions had major glaring gaps. Havent been back since lol
"i don't think they're the same exact situations"
oh you're right. russian situation is worse lmao

Just sayin but im p sure the artists that draw the pictures for wikihow articles are never the same person as the writers. :)
a few days ago i was drawing my art pretty consistently but for some reason now my art stops looking the part i prefer as if its degrading. what is happennning???
Noot noot
noot!
Im here just for the samdoesarts piece
People making fun of wikihow do not appreciate art at all. You see, each and every single improvement and experience that you get contributes not only to one stat, but to your entire stat as a whole. The rudimentary stuff on wikihow is, as I interpret it, supposed to give you a feel for how the pencil works. The hard thing about being one of you Gen-Zers is that you don't appreciate the process at all. Why? Because you are/we are growing up in a time where everything is designed for fast broadcast to the point we overlook the process that it takes to get to a conclusion. The old timers and those actually willing to learn and appreciate will absorb everything like a sponge and wringe them all into his style like water. Your personal biases are the main reason you never improve, and you know it and you don't want to fix it because you think you are you and you aren't supposed to undergo change.
😂❤🎉😮
@@Lavenderdoesart I don't know what's that supposed to mean. I hope you can explain?
i have freaking tutorial sheets just in case if anybody wanted to draw differently and challenge themselves.
