Exactly what I’ve been doing, I’ve been drawing BASICALLY everyday for the past five years( at least 4 times a week) and I was always like “ why am I not getting better? I’m drawing a lot and filling up sketchbooks a lot” but the whole reason I was progressing so slowly is because I was JUST drawing I wasn’t studying anatomy or anything like that. Recently though I’ve decided to actually try and learn more so we will see how that goes
It is also limited to those who have good health, in many ways. I attempt deliberate practice and due to disability literally cannot consistently do it. It depends on the person.

It's so nice to see authentic sketchbooks that show progress instead of polished "perfect" artwork. I think a lot of beginners have a hard time improving when they see all these art videos that show finished work in sketchbooks. Sketchbooks are supposed to be filled with 'bad' drawings. As an artist, you are bound to make many mistakes and go through periods of trial and error before you get to where you want to be. I think more artists should show things like this as a way to encourage beginners to keep practicing. This was a very awesome video!
i actually don't study anything (like anathomy, etc) but i have been drawing a liiittle more seriously since 2019 atleast and i still draw terrible, sometimes i made some progress at drawing something but the next time i want to draw something similar it looks so trashy
To everyone who just started their art journey and who are still going, please never give up on it! I cannot stress this enough, no matter how bad your art looks right now, just keep going! I promise you progress does happen, you might not see it but one day you will make something and feel so proud of yourself. I've been drawing since I was a kid and I'm still learning how to do poses, so sometimes you might not be able to get to your goal immediately, but you will definitely see the difference as you go! I wasn't any better, but now if I compare my art to the ones I drew when I started learning, I feel so proud of how far I've come. The only rule in art is, never compare yourself to someone else and never stop drawing, you can and should take breaks but don't stop. My best friend, who also loved art and was actually very good at realistic potraits, stopped drawing and gave up on it, no matter how much I told her to continue, she didn't listen, and now I can't show my art to her, because I know she compares herself with me. She feels bad she isn't as good (I swear I'm not trying to brag) even now I tell her she can start and she can get better, but she isn't willing to listen. So, that's why to everyone out there, please don't give up. You WILL get better, more than you think, and I'm 100% sure of that :)
Watching you reminds me of how I started, how everyone starts, and I can’t help to smile through out the video. In my opinion, you are to a great start! Keep it up and you’ll reach your goals in no time. 👏 Much love, man. ❤

Love this kind of vid. I see a lot of beginners raging about not being an art god within a few months, but this is what the progress actually looks like.
This is honestly the perfect video I needed to push through and actually not be too hard on myself for not seeing progress as soon as I would like, great video as always😊
Tips. Practice one specific thing before practicing another skill Avoid burnout. It's a death sentence for your creativity and motivation to draw. Don't compare yourself to artists that has worked with their craft for years longer then yours. Draw, not finish. Be patient with your art, and your developing style. Some say you can force it, but in msot cases it won't work. Artstyle is SUBJECTIVE. If you get art block, immidately STOP. Copy, and use reference. It isn't stealing, when you learn and get experience from it. But if you do post it, please credit the artist. Be passionate and have fun with art.
This is so inspiring to watch! I'm definitely passing your vids around to anyone learning to draw. Seeing what kind of progress you can expect is so helpful!
Man, I'm gonna be honest I wanna get back to drawing thanks to you I stopped drawing a few years ago because I got discouraged and I really regret it now since I could've made so much progress
I am 16, I've been drawing since like 4. Sometimes I feel so frustrated. I feel like I suck at it. I have 18 subjects to study at school. I am studying art to apply an animation university. I am also making a comic on webtoon to improve my skills but I am so frustrated by all these things. I heard people say that you can redraw one of your old pieces to feel that you draw better but no! Because the old one was definetly better😂. This video inspired me a lot. I just stopped drawin half an hour ago, then I found this video when I was scrolling. Thanks for the inspiration.😊
It’s so brave to show the beginning stuff, this is what people need to seee to understand that they can do it to. This is such a punk video, helping people see how it’s really done warts and all, “do it yourself!” I salute you
This video got randomly recommended to me and I just want to say you're doing great! There are so many things to learn in art, and with the internet now allowing us to constantly compare ourselves to others, it can feel overwhelming. But taking it one day at a time and seeking out resources for learning like you are is exactly what you should be doing. If you're still focusing on anatomy, I recommend the Morpho anatomy books. There's, like 9 or 10 of them, and they cover a wide variety of anatomical subjects like muscles, hands/feet, wrinkles and fat folds, clothing draping, etc., and you can generally get them for fairly cheap or even free from some places. Keep it up! :)
TBH that little purple hi with the lil guy in THE FIRST PAGE IS GENIUS like, you lost the whole pressure of messing up by just creating something silly in the first place. there is no need to be aesthetic anymore. GOLD
This was really inspiring! Right now I’m right where you were when you first started, and it’s cool to see that kind of progress from my starting point. Congrats and keep it up!
I want to point out one thing about digital art, because I do digital art since years but I still have some moments where it feels odd and unfamiliar compared to trad art, the brush is quite important in your experience, find a brush that fits you and itll make some stuff easier. My way of sketching really improved once i found the brush that fits how I approach art Aside that your video is very motivating and I can't wait to see more, keep up the good work!!
Yo this is so cool! I haven't seen any other videos of you so far, but that progress is insane!! Your committment to getting better at art is incredible and you are genuinely so powerful for showing the early stages of your art lol when it comes to anatomy, i am at about the same level as the beginning of your second sketchbook, and it's so frustrating that i dont bother even trying to improve, but seeing you push through is really motivating! So uh yeah, i usually dont comment a lot on videos, but your video just left that much of an impact. Good luck on your art journey, you're really well on your way to nailing digital painting ^^
This type of videos are so encouraging. Sometimes you may feel alone on this path of becoming artist as a beginner, but this is a really good company for the journey. Also if i fail on something you success this is great to learn about that, because looking at Pro's may be a too big step.
I am 37 and have always loved comics. I have always loved to draw/sketch, but have never intentionally given the art more than a passing interest until now. I just want to say that this channel is so encouraging for someone like me. What makes it unique is both the humility in which you approach your video content and also the transparency in which you present a realistic presentation of what it looks like to "grow" in this art. Thanks a lot man!
Thanks for the motivation man, was putting my drawing aside and wouldn’t begin even after watching soo many art videos. Hoping to see more of your content soon!
Your energy is contagious lol. I think approaching work with humour adds a lot, even when you fuck up and draw something sub-par, having a good attitude about it still makes it worth it. Your videos are great :) Makes me feel more merciful to my art as well. It truly aint that deep sometimes.
Damn dude, you improved so much in such a short amount of time. I have recently just got back into drawing and art after graduating from uni in animation. I stopped for like 5 years. Lost the passion, the hunger and most of all covid just messed up so much. But I've been looking around for some things to motivate me and use as a source of logical inspiration. You have inspired me massively and I have learnt so much from just a few of your videos. Keep up the amazing work!
I love that you have to make bad art to make good art. Because if you make nothing, theres nothing in this world you can compare that nothing to. Have a great art journey and make more art! You're gonna look back on it and think it's bad but that just means improvement!
Man you're awesome. Stumbled on this video because I was bored in between my computer science studies, and trying to find something fun to watch (I'm thinking about using drawing as a creative vessel for myself, except that I'm terrible at drawing). Your video gave me a lot of feelings, but the main one is: motivation. You take things so lightly, with this soothing voice. You just got another subscriber for sure sir!
dude this is so inspirational thank you. i decided just today that im going to start drawing, really. i hope in a years time i can watch your next video and see the progress i made as well :)
I have to say you deserve to be complimented for your drawings of the body in movement. I'm a trained dancer and you've such a good eye for what we call 'line'. So many artists (even professional ones) don't actually pull it off to the dancer's eye. We can tell the small mistakes that turn a portrait into a not-quite-believable picture. -But you can do it.- Even in your early work you seem to have an innate understanding of where the fulcrum of the body is, how the weight is distributed down into the ground and how the limbs work around that fulcrum. It's a very cool talent. Good luck!
I'm very impressed with the progress you made digitally. I've never been able to create presentable art with a tablet, and it killed my art drive for some time, until I just accepted there's nothing wrong with traditional. But your talent skyrocketed from the passion you put in it
man, I've just stumbled upon your channel for the first time, and I have to say, this video might be one of the best out there. (You're lovely, how you tell about stuff is just endearing. Had to pause it just to leave this comment and send my best wishes your way.)
This is inspiring. I want to upload an art journey video too sometime in the future. It's so individual yet sets realistic goals and helps to not get frustrated when it takes time to get better.
This is great progress! I had many of the same issues as you, as well as breakthroughs! I'm often asked to give advice for new artists, but advice can only go so far if you don't have the dedication to actually apply them. So exciting to see development!
Thank you for uploading this video, I’m a fine art student and I’m drawing human anatomy - it’s a journey but I’m getting there and this motivates me to draw more!! ✨
Why is your art progress journey so good! Like major props to you, you studied a lot of stuff most newbie artists wouldn’t and knew to study perspectives and different things! Keep it up man I think if you keep going with this type of studying that is intentional and skill based you’ll improve majorly. No hate to other artists tho of course I just notice a lot of beginners tend to not think of improving as an intentional thing like this, where they genuinely study things like prospective snd such. And just tend to think if they draw their ocs or fanart everyday or regularly they’ll improve. Which is not how it works improving in art means actually doing studies like you did in this video! And to quote you “to my credit I really was trying to work on my weaknesses.” Artists just starting out with the intention of improving, ya’ll get that quote tattooed on your brain please. Edit: HOLY HECK IF THIS IS HOW DEDICATED YOU ARE TO IMPROVING YOUR ART BY ACTUALLY DOING STUDIES AND DRAWING A LOT THEN IN PART TWO YOUR GONNA BE A MASTER
Love your progress!! This was also how I started out with my art journey back when i was just diving into it. Keep it up man, cant wait to see your progress in a year 👊
I love this! I just found out about your channel and I’m so glad youtube recommended me your video. This and the other video explaining the role dopamine takes in drawing is actually really educational and helpful. It changed my perspective on few things and helped me be more understanding towards myself 🌹 I subscribed immediately☺️
You've come a long way !!! Your progress is fantastic. You do a lot of study and seems to have fun. I have no doubt that you will progress even further. Don't feel guilty about stopping for a month or so, sometimes a break help you digest what you learned. Try to draw without reference more. It's cool to have a super technical side, but don't forget the creative side. Rendering is hard and take years to pin down. If you want to progress on that part, I have some suggestions/tips that worked for my art students. For color : -gouache painting, using only CMYBW is the best way to see improvement. It is a super frustating exercice at first, be prepared. --> you will learn a lot about color mixing / 15 min digital sessions. Choose a picture, with no color filter if possible, set a 15min timer. Now try to replicate it whithout colorpicking. You can do a lot in a short time !
I just found this video, I restarted drawing about a few weeks ago (I'm 38) and used to draw when I was a kid all the time, this really motivated me thank you, my goal is to do one complete sketch every day
Great job, Keep it up :D This reminds me of my own first year of making art. It's hard work and occassionally punishing, but the eventual growth is worth it!
00:15 I may be a young artist but the most important thing is you never see your art as a “failure” it simply part of the learning process and it’s never a bad thing to make ugly art
We used proko videos in art school as reference, and gestures honestly were what propelled my drawing skills the most BY FAR. If I could tell my younger self it would be "draw gestures" lots of them! =D
This is so encouraging to see. I spent 12 hours yesterday trying to draw a smooth line in krita with my drawing tablet and I'm just not getting it. Very little art practice on paper. Just all around new. Thank you for sharing
It's very nice of you to show that! I'm at roughly a year of drawing myself now. I wanna quickly add, if someone might think "Oh man, I've drawn for a year and I'm not as good as him" that's ok! We all learn at different pases. I, for example, improve more slowly, but I've come to accept that, because in the end it's an individual journy, you know?
Your progress over the year is great.. I love it. I am getting into digital art and animation now. I hope that some day I get as good as where you are.. Thank you for sharing your story.
Now After Watching this video I'm Really Excited How to Draw Human Body and Precpactive Drawing from Different Angles. I really want to learn Animation like Anime 👀🔥✨
As an artist whose been drawing for 4 years, your doing an amazing job! its really good how you focus on practising your weak points, practising weak points and taking them head on is the fastest and best way to learn!!!
Hi! I want to start drawing because I want to decorate my planners!! However, I haven't drawn since I was 7 (I'm not joking), so what would you recommend I learn first? Perspective, shapes...?
@@betisbaby hi, shapes and form... try breaking down your subjects into the most simple shapes of circles, triangles, squares etc.... shapes is what everything in art is built of off and if you understand the shapes of an object you will be able to draw it.after that id try to learn the principles of art, also when you start getting better youll notice yourselves lacking in certain areas, target those areas in term of your practice, never be afraid to try something new!!! however dont rush yourself take your time, art is very difficult and its a life long pursuit, one step at a time is enough, art is a journey not a destination, its all about the process.... so goodluck on it !!! i hope it goes well for you and welcome to the art world :D also reallly important tip: AWLWAYS USE REFERENCE !!!
@@RDrawzDragonz thank you for your time!! I'll upload you in a few years when I'm able to draw Solid Snake with a lot of details lmao Honestly I just want to be able to defend myself and draw in my planners lol
Thank you so much for this, because right now, I'm going through my first few months, and I suck! But going through exactly the same. So thanks. Love your thoughts.❤❤
This is super inspirational! I dare say I was always naturally good at drawing, but it was the same as everything else for me.. I could pick up almost anything and be immediately decently to pretty good at it, and so I never actually learned how to.. well, study. I fudged my way through all of my formal education up to a MSc with good success, but I still cannot *STUDY*. Like with art, I was always pretty good but I have never done any formal anatomy or perspective studies. Or even face studies. Especially since I'm autistic and struggle with faces IRL as well, that especially holds me back. I can make up poses okay because I'm very analytical. But in the end, I haven't drawn actively for almost 10 years because my skill stagnated and without those basic skills, I couldn't improve. But I also couldn't get myself to study these basics. I've really been missing art and have recently thought about getting into it. Pick up where I left off, but try to focus on those basics that have kept me back.
I haven't drawn in several years. But i remember going through the same process when i first started out. I would often use my own hand as a reference when drawing hands.
remember though, even if you dont feel like youre making any progress, you 100% are, even if just subconsciously. every art piece you do or practice helps you improve even if just a little.

Yes, precisely! This is shifting from left brain to the right brain
This is exactly it.
As someone new at drawing following the reference exactly makes me seem better than I am. The details carry all my sketches
my brain doesnt comprehend this idea at all, i don't know what i see or what i think i see
You will eventually be able to create from imagination, though, just don't expect it to look good until you have tons of practice from reference.
I swear every time I watch one of these "I learned how to draw" videos I'm like "Can't wait for that burst of motivation I'll get from seeing someone show how "bad" they used to be at drawing and then show their progress, which might give me a good idea on how far I've already come in my own art journey!"

i actually don't study anything (like anathomy, etc) but i have been drawing a liiittle more seriously since 2019 atleast and i still draw terrible, sometimes i made some progress at drawing something but the next time i want to draw something similar it looks so trashy
@@angelica_is_an_orv_lover learn anatomy. It's worth the effort.
Ive been drawing since i was little
👏
To everyone who just started their art journey and who are still going, please never give up on it! I cannot stress this enough, no matter how bad your art looks right now, just keep going! I promise you progress does happen, you might not see it but one day you will make something and feel so proud of yourself. I've been drawing since I was a kid and I'm still learning how to do poses, so sometimes you might not be able to get to your goal immediately, but you will definitely see the difference as you go! I wasn't any better, but now if I compare my art to the ones I drew when I started learning, I feel so proud of how far I've come. The only rule in art is, never compare yourself to someone else and never stop drawing, you can and should take breaks but don't stop.
My best friend, who also loved art and was actually very good at realistic potraits, stopped drawing and gave up on it, no matter how much I told her to continue, she didn't listen, and now I can't show my art to her, because I know she compares herself with me. She feels bad she isn't as good (I swear I'm not trying to brag) even now I tell her she can start and she can get better, but she isn't willing to listen. So, that's why to everyone out there, please don't give up. You WILL get better, more than you think, and I'm 100% sure of that :)
Watching you reminds me of how I started, how everyone starts, and I can’t help to smile through out the video. In my opinion, you are to a great start! Keep it up and you’ll reach your goals in no time. 👏
Much love, man. ❤

Love this kind of vid. I see a lot of beginners raging about not being an art god within a few months, but this is what the progress actually looks like.
dude i LOVE to see other artists progress idk why
you're doing great :D
This is honestly the perfect video I needed to push through and actually not be too hard on myself for not seeing progress as soon as I would like, great video as always😊
Tips.
Practice one specific thing before practicing another skill
Avoid burnout. It's a death sentence for your creativity and motivation to draw.
Don't compare yourself to artists that has worked with their craft for years longer then yours.
Draw, not finish.
Be patient with your art, and your developing style.
Some say you can force it, but in msot cases it won't work.
Artstyle is SUBJECTIVE.
If you get art block, immidately STOP.
Copy, and use reference.
It isn't stealing, when you learn and get experience from it. But if you do post it, please credit the artist.
Be passionate and have fun with art.
This is so inspiring to watch! I'm definitely passing your vids around to anyone learning to draw. Seeing what kind of progress you can expect is so helpful!
Man, I'm gonna be honest I wanna get back to drawing thanks to you
I stopped drawing a few years ago because I got discouraged and I really regret it now since I could've made so much progress
I just started a week ago
@@radhamadhav8063 good luck :)
I am 16, I've been drawing since like 4. Sometimes I feel so frustrated. I feel like I suck at it. I have 18 subjects to study at school. I am studying art to apply an animation university. I am also making a comic on webtoon to improve my skills but I am so frustrated by all these things. I heard people say that you can redraw one of your old pieces to feel that you draw better but no! Because the old one was definetly better😂. This video inspired me a lot. I just stopped drawin half an hour ago, then I found this video when I was scrolling. Thanks for the inspiration.😊
It’s so brave to show the beginning stuff, this is what people need to seee to understand that they can do it to. This is such a punk video, helping people see how it’s really done warts and all, “do it yourself!” I salute you
This video got randomly recommended to me and I just want to say you're doing great! There are so many things to learn in art, and with the internet now allowing us to constantly compare ourselves to others, it can feel overwhelming. But taking it one day at a time and seeking out resources for learning like you are is exactly what you should be doing.
If you're still focusing on anatomy, I recommend the Morpho anatomy books. There's, like 9 or 10 of them, and they cover a wide variety of anatomical subjects like muscles, hands/feet, wrinkles and fat folds, clothing draping, etc., and you can generally get them for fairly cheap or even free from some places.
Keep it up! :)
This gives me motivation to properly study instead of just drawing whatever I feel like. You’ve improved so much ❤
TBH that little purple hi with the lil guy in THE FIRST PAGE IS GENIUS like, you lost the whole pressure of messing up by just creating something silly in the first place. there is no need to be aesthetic anymore. GOLD
i relate to you so much, and seeing your progress was incredibly exciting. Cant wait for part 2!!
This was really inspiring! Right now I’m right where you were when you first started, and it’s cool to see that kind of progress from my starting point. Congrats and keep it up!
I want to point out one thing about digital art, because I do digital art since years but I still have some moments where it feels odd and unfamiliar compared to trad art, the brush is quite important in your experience, find a brush that fits you and itll make some stuff easier. My way of sketching really improved once i found the brush that fits how I approach art
Aside that your video is very motivating and I can't wait to see more, keep up the good work!!
Bro is a big threat for the art community 😭
I’ve seen randos on 4chan progress faster
@@Eizengoldt nice for you ig
@@TinoYino thanks, I've made progress too :)
@@Eizengoldtno one asked
@@Eizengoldt this isn't a competition bro
Yo this is so cool! I haven't seen any other videos of you so far, but that progress is insane!! Your committment to getting better at art is incredible and you are genuinely so powerful for showing the early stages of your art lol
when it comes to anatomy, i am at about the same level as the beginning of your second sketchbook, and it's so frustrating that i dont bother even trying to improve, but seeing you push through is really motivating!
So uh yeah, i usually dont comment a lot on videos, but your video just left that much of an impact. Good luck on your art journey, you're really well on your way to nailing digital painting ^^
Man, this is an awesome video, thank you, I feel I know 50% more about drawing than I knew 15 minutes ago. Very insightful.
This type of videos are so encouraging. Sometimes you may feel alone on this path of becoming artist as a beginner, but this is a really good company for the journey.
Also if i fail on something you success this is great to learn about that, because looking at Pro's may be a too big step.
commenting here before you make it big!!! i really love your commentary and congrats on the progress youre doing so awesome!!!
I am 37 and have always loved comics. I have always loved to draw/sketch, but have never intentionally given the art more than a passing interest until now. I just want to say that this channel is so encouraging for someone like me. What makes it unique is both the humility in which you approach your video content and also the transparency in which you present a realistic presentation of what it looks like to "grow" in this art.
Thanks a lot man!
Very impressive! Keep going with that motivation and dedication and you’ll for sure continue to see progress :)
Thanks for the motivation man, was putting my drawing aside and wouldn’t begin even after watching soo many art videos. Hoping to see more of your content soon!
Your videos are AWESOME. Your ability to communicate abstract concepts is unique, and besides that, the camera loves you.
Your energy is contagious lol. I think approaching work with humour adds a lot, even when you fuck up and draw something sub-par, having a good attitude about it still makes it worth it. Your videos are great :) Makes me feel more merciful to my art as well. It truly aint that deep sometimes.
Damn dude, you improved so much in such a short amount of time. I have recently just got back into drawing and art after graduating from uni in animation. I stopped for like 5 years. Lost the passion, the hunger and most of all covid just messed up so much. But I've been looking around for some things to motivate me and use as a source of logical inspiration. You have inspired me massively and I have learnt so much from just a few of your videos. Keep up the amazing work!
I love that you have to make bad art to make good art. Because if you make nothing, theres nothing in this world you can compare that nothing to. Have a great art journey and make more art! You're gonna look back on it and think it's bad but that just means improvement!
i think shading is a very underrated way to learn anatomy, you understand the volumes much better
I don't even draw, but it was really cool to see the progress you've made on your craft.
Really nice progress and keep going 👍
Really great to see your channel and your art skills grow so much, + this is totally helping me with my current case of art block
Man you're awesome. Stumbled on this video because I was bored in between my computer science studies, and trying to find something fun to watch (I'm thinking about using drawing as a creative vessel for myself, except that I'm terrible at drawing). Your video gave me a lot of feelings, but the main one is: motivation. You take things so lightly, with this soothing voice. You just got another subscriber for sure sir!
dude this is so inspirational thank you. i decided just today that im going to start drawing, really. i hope in a years time i can watch your next video and see the progress i made as well :)
I have to say you deserve to be complimented for your drawings of the body in movement. I'm a trained dancer and you've such a good eye for what we call 'line'. So many artists (even professional ones) don't actually pull it off to the dancer's eye. We can tell the small mistakes that turn a portrait into a not-quite-believable picture. -But you can do it.- Even in your early work you seem to have an innate understanding of where the fulcrum of the body is, how the weight is distributed down into the ground and how the limbs work around that fulcrum. It's a very cool talent.
Good luck!
I just want to know how to not be afraid to make videos based on art 😭
You did amazing improvements in the course of 1 year holly molly!
I am so impressed! Thoroughly enjoyed your video and the progress you’ve made. Also, enjoyed how nice your face is to look at! Thank you
I'm very impressed with the progress you made digitally. I've never been able to create presentable art with a tablet, and it killed my art drive for some time, until I just accepted there's nothing wrong with traditional. But your talent skyrocketed from the passion you put in it
Yo! That's a great progress kepp working hard and enjoy the process ♡
man, I've just stumbled upon your channel for the first time, and I have to say, this video might be one of the best out there. (You're lovely, how you tell about stuff is just endearing. Had to pause it just to leave this comment and send my best wishes your way.)
This is inspiring. I want to upload an art journey video too sometime in the future. It's so individual yet sets realistic goals and helps to not get frustrated when it takes time to get better.
3:10 I respect that you actually resisted.
This is great progress! I had many of the same issues as you, as well as breakthroughs!
I'm often asked to give advice for new artists, but advice can only go so far if you don't have the dedication to actually apply them. So exciting to see development!
Thank you for uploading this video, I’m a fine art student and I’m drawing human anatomy - it’s a journey but I’m getting there and this motivates me to draw more!! ✨
This inspired me. I've watched two of your videos so far, and seeing you continue to challenge yourself motivated me to try it! Keep up the good work
Why is your art progress journey so good! Like major props to you, you studied a lot of stuff most newbie artists wouldn’t and knew to study perspectives and different things!
Keep it up man I think if you keep going with this type of studying that is intentional and skill based you’ll improve majorly.
No hate to other artists tho of course I just notice a lot of beginners tend to not think of improving as an intentional thing like this, where they genuinely study things like prospective snd such. And just tend to think if they draw their ocs or fanart everyday or regularly they’ll improve. Which is not how it works improving in art means actually doing studies like you did in this video!
And to quote you “to my credit I really was trying to work on my weaknesses.”
Artists just starting out with the intention of improving, ya’ll get that quote tattooed on your brain please.
Edit: HOLY HECK IF THIS IS HOW DEDICATED YOU ARE TO IMPROVING YOUR ART BY ACTUALLY DOING STUDIES AND DRAWING A LOT THEN IN PART TWO YOUR GONNA BE A MASTER
Love the progression and though process throughout! Trying my own journey and really enjoyed the video
Love your progress!! This was also how I started out with my art journey back when i was just diving into it. Keep it up man, cant wait to see your progress in a year 👊
Dude this is mad cool, this is makes me feel so motivated to improve my art!
Your sense of humor is the bright part of this video)
5 years and i still no better than anything you did . incredible i respect you : D
i do wanna hear the bl joke do-
Really good to see a honest progress review
I love this! I just found out about your channel and I’m so glad youtube recommended me your video. This and the other video explaining the role dopamine takes in drawing is actually really educational and helpful. It changed my perspective on few things and helped me be more understanding towards myself 🌹 I subscribed immediately☺️
As someone who just started drawing a week ago, this was EXACTLY the video I needed for inspiration. Thank you.
Hey loved your video! Can really see your progress, exciting. Just wanted to drop some encouragement and anticipation for future works 😀
You've come a long way !!! Your progress is fantastic. You do a lot of study and seems to have fun. I have no doubt that you will progress even further.
Don't feel guilty about stopping for a month or so, sometimes a break help you digest what you learned.
Try to draw without reference more. It's cool to have a super technical side, but don't forget the creative side.
Rendering is hard and take years to pin down. If you want to progress on that part, I have some suggestions/tips that worked for my art students.
For color : -gouache painting, using only CMYBW is the best way to see improvement. It is a super frustating exercice at first, be prepared. --> you will learn a lot about color mixing /
15 min digital sessions. Choose a picture, with no color filter if possible, set a 15min timer. Now try to replicate it whithout colorpicking. You can do a lot in a short time !
I just found this video, I restarted drawing about a few weeks ago (I'm 38) and used to draw when I was a kid all the time, this really motivated me thank you, my goal is to do one complete sketch every day
Let’s go. I love this content and I really appreciate you sharing your journey with us. Onwards!
Great job, Keep it up :D This reminds me of my own first year of making art. It's hard work and occassionally punishing, but the eventual growth is worth it!
0:57 handsome Squidward ahh pose
00:15 I may be a young artist but the most important thing is you never see your art as a “failure” it simply part of the learning process and it’s never a bad thing to make ugly art
We used proko videos in art school as reference, and gestures honestly were what propelled my drawing skills the most BY FAR. If I could tell my younger self it would be "draw gestures" lots of them! =D
This is so encouraging to see. I spent 12 hours yesterday trying to draw a smooth line in krita with my drawing tablet and I'm just not getting it. Very little art practice on paper. Just all around new. Thank you for sharing
Congrats on your progress and success!
You’re doing great! 😁
It's very nice of you to show that! I'm at roughly a year of drawing myself now. I wanna quickly add, if someone might think "Oh man, I've drawn for a year and I'm not as good as him" that's ok! We all learn at different pases. I, for example, improve more slowly, but I've come to accept that, because in the end it's an individual journy, you know?
Thank you man! This inspired me so much!
Your progress over the year is great.. I love it. I am getting into digital art and animation now. I hope that some day I get as good as where you are.. Thank you for sharing your story.
Now After Watching this video I'm Really Excited How to Draw Human Body and Precpactive Drawing from Different Angles. I really want to learn Animation like Anime 👀🔥✨
Bro I've been drawing for six years and I can say that I did not progress as fast as this! Great video. Keeping my insperation on a high!
As an artist whose been drawing for 4 years, your doing an amazing job! its really good how you focus on practising your weak points, practising weak points and taking them head on is the fastest and best way to learn!!!
Hi! I want to start drawing because I want to decorate my planners!! However, I haven't drawn since I was 7 (I'm not joking), so what would you recommend I learn first? Perspective, shapes...?
@@betisbaby hi, shapes and form... try breaking down your subjects into the most simple shapes of circles, triangles, squares etc.... shapes is what everything in art is built of off and if you understand the shapes of an object you will be able to draw it.after that id try to learn the principles of art, also when you start getting better youll notice yourselves lacking in certain areas, target those areas in term of your practice, never be afraid to try something new!!! however dont rush yourself take your time, art is very difficult and its a life long pursuit, one step at a time is enough, art is a journey not a destination, its all about the process.... so goodluck on it !!! i hope it goes well for you and welcome to the art world :D
also reallly important tip: AWLWAYS USE REFERENCE !!!
@@RDrawzDragonz thank you for your time!! I'll upload you in a few years when I'm able to draw Solid Snake with a lot of details lmao
Honestly I just want to be able to defend myself and draw in my planners lol
I've been drawing for around 4 years, you've got better anatomy than me lmao
very encouraging, well done, definitely worth the work you put in, enjoy making art.
Thank you so much for this, because right now, I'm going through my first few months, and I suck! But going through exactly the same. So thanks. Love your thoughts.❤❤
Good video, very entertaining and loved seeing your progress. Keep going (:
This is super inspirational! I dare say I was always naturally good at drawing, but it was the same as everything else for me.. I could pick up almost anything and be immediately decently to pretty good at it, and so I never actually learned how to.. well, study. I fudged my way through all of my formal education up to a MSc with good success, but I still cannot *STUDY*. Like with art, I was always pretty good but I have never done any formal anatomy or perspective studies. Or even face studies. Especially since I'm autistic and struggle with faces IRL as well, that especially holds me back. I can make up poses okay because I'm very analytical. But in the end, I haven't drawn actively for almost 10 years because my skill stagnated and without those basic skills, I couldn't improve. But I also couldn't get myself to study these basics. I've really been missing art and have recently thought about getting into it. Pick up where I left off, but try to focus on those basics that have kept me back.
I haven't drawn in several years. But i remember going through the same process when i first started out. I would often use my own hand as a reference when drawing hands.
remember though, even if you dont feel like youre making any progress, you 100% are, even if just subconsciously. every art piece you do or practice helps you improve even if just a little.
Flipping the page sent me😂😂 What a great progression! Inspiring for sure
2:22 THAT DRAWING ON HOW TO CALCULATE THE LENGTH OF THE HAND (bottom-right) IS TRULY GENIUS (I mean the hand he drew on the face)
Wow, that progress is crazy fast! I wish I had half your motivation and discipline.
Dude this was super inspirational. Caused me to sketch your face as I was watching even!
Here's to another year of studying, I wish I had half the effort level your did at your age. Keep on rocking it ! :)
You have a great talent for making these videos, well done!
