The fundamentals of art are:
Gesture
Anatomy
Color theory
Shape
Deconstruction
Light
Edges
Perspective
Value
Master these and you’ll be chilling. Always use reference.
Imagination too, It makes you a God
Thank You! I saw other comments suggesting to study fundamnetals but they never explained what they wrre.
Thanks for the info 🥺
In order?
And you'll have to be able to visualise all these at once somewhat if you're drawing not from reference
People that drew for years and didn't improve shit
*Hit by the big sad*
Sorry 😂
Relatable...
That's probably, because you weren't actually studying what you wanted to draw. I used to be the same way, drawing from imagination a not using references and I didn't improve that much. Since I started learning the structure of everything I wanted to draw, I started to see so much improvement and understanding. Try studying instead of simply drawing :)
:')
you need to know what you're doing and actually draw things that will help you improve. it's not magic
When I saw day 1, I was like -- "OH cmon! This girl can draw so well." I'm speaking from the perspective of someone self-taught/heavily-influenced-by-manga... Then when you started drawing on your own, I understood what you meant. When I was in high school (two decades ago), I was so jealous of a classmate who can perfectly re-draw anything. It doesn't matter if it's realism or anime style, or what medium she chooses. It always comes out perfect. I was jealous because I suck at redrawing anything. No matter how hard I try, it always looked weird or wonky. One time, she was watching me freehand drawing and she said that she wishes she could draw like me, and I was like are you F*ing kidding. But then she explained that she cannot draw without any reference, even if she wanted to. At that time, I thought she was just pulling my leg. Now I understand what she meant. Great job on this video, you inspired me. I haven't been drawing in years but I want to kick start it again with this challenge.
Thank you! I’m glad you understood what I mean, there are some people who didn’t get what I said 😅
I personally think that drawing good without references is a real skill) Anybody can copy but creating something from scratch is a real combination of talent and hard work.
@@cutesy.wootsy The thing that many artists/beginners don't understand is that you NEED a reference especially at the beginning (you can't draw a rose if you don't know how it looks like for example) redrawing isn't too bad either,it lets you practice the pencil movement itself (but you also adapt the mistakes of the artist you redrew from)
Just make all the references by yourself and you are good to go. All the masters have used references, haven't they? I am thinking about Monets famous Lilyponds for example. And there are still many (well paid and well respected) artists out there who only paint from reference, they just take the pictures by themselves first.....
same with my sis
@@humahumsta I mean even experts use reference...no matter how good you are you'll always use it ..
I keep seeing comments with “She’s drawn better at 30 days then me in XX years,” remember to NEVER compare yourself to others, and think to yourself; have you really been practicing for years? Drawing once every week or even month for a year straight means absolutely no progress, instead of comparing yourself and bringing up these lies; change yourself, start drawing for longer and practice smarter! Find your weaknesses and challenge them, get out of your comfort zone and push yourself!
Omg, I agree with your comment so much! That’s what I was thinking about all this time
When her drawing on the first day is better than your drawing in 10 years
Yes. ._.
I was just redrawing the art of trauwic 😅 so I don’t think it shows my skill)
I wanted to redraw a little in the beginning of the challenge to learn something) those redrawings took me 15-20 minutes so don’t underestimate yourself ❤️✨
Yes
Fax
Dumbest shit I heard all week
yeah, to improve you have to "understand" what you're doing, just drawing everyday isn't enough. You did a good job with those studies!
Thank you)
I’m glad you think the same way 🌝✨
Just drawing everyday isn't enough? Tell me, i don't understand 😭 what should i do as a beginner?
@@gojoswife9415 I can confirm that it isn't enough, as a beginner too i prefer to learn the fundamentals of art first, i can't really explain these things to you (since im still currently learning the fundamentals too).
The best i can advice to you is watch tutorial videos here on CZcams! and don't just watch them grab your pencil and sketchbook.
if you want to know who to look up to, just ask me and i'll list everyone i know.
@@i.washere yes make a list pls🙏 idk who look up to🥺
@@i.washere yes pls make list 🙃
Yes! Learn the fundamentals before you decide to break them. I have ADHD so studying is really hard for me. A tip I do is fill one page with studies and fill the next with things I want to draw! It could be fanart, ocs, my cat, whatever I want. It helps keep me motivated and doesn't make art feel like a chore.
Also one with ADHD, and have started doing this!
I pick a Friday into Sunday to do studies and fanart. I draw Vegeta from Dragon Ball a alot so I end up applying what I've learned to drawing him. I'm still struggling with hands but I have improved☺
Actually, when learning to draw, the most important things to learn as a beginner are gesture, perspective and also simplifying objects to basic shapes. Without that knowledge the anatomy will look super stiff and just not right. As an artist I can also tell that it is very helpful to draw from photos, since, when drawing from imagination, (especially beginners) might not notice some major mistakes (trust me, I've been there 🙈). I also noticed you struggled a bit with proportions of the head and face, so I would advise that you study the anatomy of a skull. Anyways, good luck with further improvement 😊
I definitely have to agree with you. Also a phenomenal resource for learning about skulls and face proportions would be as follows : How to draw Head/ Face/ Portrait with Steve Huston part 1 (3 Hours!).
The problem is, people don't understand what "gesture" really means lol The "looseness wrist", the "light hand" xD
Once you achieve the understanding of "gesture", every drawing becomes like a "dance of scribbles", that only you can understand!
Cheers 👍🏻
Can I ask what you mean by gesture? As in poses? And perspective as in from different angles?
@@roserain7034 By gesture I mean capturing a certain pose while focusing on the dynamism and not on anatomical details, therefore when later you learn anatomy, the figures won't be stiff looking. And by perspective I mean learning to capture foreshortening, simple forms viewed from different angles and in general how objects look in a certain position. Hope this helps :)
@@EagleBreasts Gesture isnt a "loose" term to describe an art style. It teaches dynamic flow of the body and realistic centers of gravity in proportion to the pose. An action line or gesture line is the line moving straight through the body from the tip of the head to the anchor and the bottom of the feet. It is I can promise you, vital to learning how to draw.
And not to mention drawing from reference like she speaks against doing in this video is absolutely a necessary step in making art. Every single disney illustrator draws from live models. Or pictures/videos them in the proper poses. Theres a different between reference and copying and you'll only hinder yourself if you choose not to.
Also remember another thing. When you don't draw, look around you. Look at people's facial expressions, shadows, lighting and shapes. You'll be improving subconsciously. I took a break for one week and improved drastically
Thank you very much, helped me a lot.
Exactly!! This is what i often do when work is keeping me busy and I can't find time to draw.
I agree with this!! Whenever im not drawing I take note of all these things and try to apply it to my drawings, and it helps a lot sometimes. Great advice!
THIS IS SO F**KING TRUE!!! I always think my most improviment comes after spending some time just looking aroung and paying attention to the things I seek to draw better!
Yes, I'm doing this exercise everytime I'm not drawing or I'm taking a break. My friends call it weird sometimes when they talk to me I would always look at the shape of their faces, the way the mouth move the brows the eyes and ears to hair, shadows and where the light hits their faces. I don't know how to explain it but it looks like I entered that zone concentration mode(yeah, I forgot what they were trying to tell me so I ask them again). When I draw male body parts(with abs) they call me gay, when I draw female body parts they call me pervert😐.
Guys, don’t draw from imagination! Always use references (unless you’re doodling/just drawing for fun)! If you’re truly trying to improve your anatomy/structure, at least follow them LOOSELY, but still use them. All professional artists use references, so there’s no shame in using them! There are so many things that you actually remember wrong or can’t imagine clearly and don’t even realize it until you see an actual image of what you’re trying to draw. They also help you to step out of your comfort zone and draw poses you didn’t previously think of!
I actually didn’t use references at first, and so I still forget to use references a lot. When I do remember to use them, though, my drawings always turn out so much better.
I don't use references that often, because I usually draw ocs, but I will occasionally to get the idea of a certain pose or so.
Now picture a class of 9th graders having to draw stuff in without any prior actual lessons and without being allowed to look at references on our phones... :DDDD loved that
@@eggsammich1186 Well, yes! You should always use references to help you with your poses. Drawing with references helps you improve faster
@@biancawantsbooks1904 Oh oof sounds horrible
@Liliana Godinez Yes, it is possible to make a good drawing without a reference, but a reference will normally make your drawing look even better
I’ve been drawing for 5 years, and for the longest time I didn’t use references.. I just drew whatever came to my head and it of course was not the best at all. For years I didn’t know how the heck to improve and ended up not having a pencil or pen touch my art book for a few years, until a lil later when I made a friend who also had a passion for art and had been into it for a lot longer than I had, and she gave me hours and hours worth of advice on how to get better. I explained to her how I wasn’t improving within my art and had a struggle drawing things like arms, legs, hair, feet, etc.. the FIRST thing she said was “were you using references tho?” And I said “no” and she then said “that’s why you weren’t improving! You can’t expect to go from having no drawing experiences and being familiar with autonomy unless you have an example/reference to begin with” and ever since then I have always used references for every body part, and you may think “well it’s not as fun if you’re copying other people’s art and their style if you’re not coming up with anything yourself” but trust me, I thought this to myself when my friend told me too, but as soon as you start using those examples you will eventually just pick up how to draw certain things. The first thing I started referencing were hands, I had the absolute most trouble with drawing them, but as soon as I started referencing and getting ideas from things like Pinterest and tumblr, after a few weeks I didn’t even have to use references anymore because my brain was a lot better at picturing and automatically knowing how to draw them, even in certain hand positions and angles. They are a big help, especially surrounding autonomy. You aren’t gonna improve without them, trust me, you have to start from somewhere.
Thanks for this comment maybe I should start using a reference but what are references? Are they real life pictures or are they art
@@kxtcl6440 both! I use a combination of both. Whatever works for you. Its helpful to see the real thing but also to see how other artists have represented it
#1 rule in art: Draw for yourself!!! Thanks for sharing this really cool journey. I hope to see more of this process in the future!
I always thought that "Draw anything everyday" was a shitty advise, and I still stand by it. If you want to get better go look for the fundamentals, study the fundamentals, and practice those foundations til exhaustion
I absolutely agree with you 🙆🏻♀️
I think more and more people start to understand it)
No
I kinda disagree because drawing everyday can really improve your art, but where I agree is you need to practice fundamentals as well, don’t expect to be a Mozart because you draw everyday for a month.
And then quit
@@hydralily1646 Repetition makes you better at the thing you do repeatedly. You just have to make sure the thing is worth doing.
Never feel bad about using a reference. It will *always* turn out better if you use a reference rather then trying to draw straight from your head, no matter how long you've been doing art or how advanced you are. And use multiple references for one drawing!! Use as many references as you can for every single object. Eventually you'll learn from the use of those references and you'll be able to create good stuff without them, even if references could still make it better.
Than*
@@jadejaguar69 bro. No one cares
Thanks this make me feel better
When im using reference i feel like im just copying them
@@Aki_with_the_Z same here, I’m not a beginner nor a pro I’m pretty good at drawing, but when a pro artist told me they use a reference I was like it’s settled
My biggest advice (I make character concept art) is to study the fundamentals first! - Marc Brunet has some REALLY good videos on how to study correctly. 🥰
When starting to draw, it’s important to practice construction and shapes!! There’s a really good video by Proko, called: 6 steps to draw anything. It’s the first thing someone should start with.
And also: use references all the time when you need it! - it’s like a mental Library. Because if you haven’t seen a frog before/remember what it looks like, how are you going to draw it without a picture? That’s also how you learn!!
Good luck ❤️❤️
I have been drawin for about 5 years now, seriously, and have learned so much. One of the best things you can do is start to look and study other people's drawings and art. I learned the most from just watching YT. Not exactly tutorials but just watching and being observant. Then join that with trying to draw every day and you will eventually improve. 🙂 you go girl! 👍
She improved more in 30 days than me in 2 years
@ISABEL MOREL BELTRE good luck hope ur doing well
Going back to drawing is damn hard
Lol same
✨Cheese✨
Me on year 12 and still no were as good as her
I don't know where people get that being an artist means drawing from imagination. Without references you will never improve
Yeah I agree. But when people say "draw from imagination", they mostly mean to be creative when making a character or to not copy someone else's work. But always use reference!!
@@yoonbumsstockholmsyndrome553 Nope, the people I talk about is the ones that will say "Oh...I thought you did that" when you tell them that what you painted didnt come directly from your brain. Or people that think that using references is cheating. I was not talking about being creative, which also requires references even if you change things up by the way.
I used to think like that in the past, and never improved, and then I met some artists and started looking for refrence and i imrpved so fast, im oretty happy :D
Not true you can be an amazing artist without any references got that! 😡
@@angregalado5575 Nope. Even good artists that work with no references have used references in the past to the point of knowing how to do things from memory. And that would include abstract or illustration at best. If you aim for realism is not possible to do things from imagination and make them look good and improve your technique.
Your facial symmetry is REALLY good, and none of the drawings you did at the beginning looked flat which tons of people struggle with. You seem to have a knack for this, hope you continue with it!
Only from day 19 there were a few pieces that were not flat. Do you only have one eye or something? Look at the construction lines only when she was adding the sphere correctly and referencing it, the drawings where not flat.
I always look for "how to start drawing" but can't even gather myself to draw but still feel jealous of my imagination expectations. Thank you so much, this information helps so much and now I know from where to start.
Almost every artist use reference for their art, you can use a photography for reference, it will help for the anatomy and then you can add the face, hair and clothes you want. Some tips for me to progress faster would be :
1. Don't learn anatomy from comics / manga, you'll lost years !
2. Practice figure drawing, you can use image of people on pinterest or real session with croquiscafe for exemple.
3. Learn how to shade
4. Use different graphic crayons : 4h (sketch in the begining) then hb, 2b etc...
Have a good day !
Thank you for your advices!) ❤️
I really agree with most of your advices, some of them are new to me)
I definitely saw the difference when I learned the anatomy from comics and when I learned from real models) it really helps ✨
small thing to add i would not start with 4h but with hb because the h crayons can leave marks in the paper
the second advice is super important! My anatomy sucks because of it...
It's super important to STUDY from real object, real people and environment. It will create a big improvement for your artwork if you study and analyze it by draw it ❤
what do you mean by this, "Don't learn anatomy from comics / manga, you'll lost years". Isn't it a good idea to see how other artists adapted human anatomy to pictures?
my advices:
-Anatomy is essential but PERSPECTIVE comes first! how can you draw the human body without understanding its real shapes?
-50% rule: even tho the fundamentals are very important, half of the time you spend for drawing HAVE to be for yourself! otherwise you will inevitably burn out!
-habit: start drawing everyday (even for 10 minutes if you dont feel like it) ! HABIT is stronger than MOTIVATION!
and last but not least Practice practice practice! remember everyday the reason why you start drawing and never stop!
GO DRAWING NOW!!! :D
i hope this is useful
Perspective really does change the way you see figures.
Ooh! Thank you! Im gonna start with shapes and perspective! This gave me motivation ngl, but Im in school (online) rn....during PE...ha...
"Habit is stronger than motivation" I need to tattoo that onto my forehead.
Yeah, I think I really should work on perspective 😅 I find it really frustrating sometimes when drawing body parts they are different sizes and shapes, I repeat mistakes several times until I understand what to do)
But then I repeat the same mistake again and again 🙂
*last but not least
this helped me understand why i haven't been able to draw for a while i started art a while ago but got more into it 2 years ago and ever since i pushed myself to finish something i didn't like i haven't been able to draw and watching this made me realize i never draw for myself nor do i try to draw for fun so thank you this has helped me understand my art better
I definitely see improvement! I loooove this kind of videos because being good at art means working constantly on improvement. It isn’t talent that makes someone good at something only dedication.
"You start off drawing the eyes face and nose which anyone can do"
Me who has been drawing my whole life and cant draw faces AT ALL: 👁👄👁
I should have thought more about my words 😂
Probably because you just aren't good at your fundamentals yet to be blunt
@@humahumsta lol dw I was making a joke :)
@@fruit_twisty6683 okay, I see 🌝
You’re so sweet btw ✨❤️
@@humahumsta aww thanks :D
When artists say "just draw" what they actually mean is, practice realism, do studdys, use refferences and draw every day even if its just a little. You need to learn the rules before you can brake them.
It is hard sometimes but you need to keep going bc you can just evolve if you keep doing it.
do u mind if i correct your english
@@Nadia-nt8gb i dont thats necessary
You dont need to pracitce realism, what about mangakas?
@@ArakeAlex Almost everyone that doesn't draw/paint realism studied it
@@ArakeAlex Even if you want to draw in a more cartoony or anime style, it is still important to understand the way the human body works like proportions, muscles n bones, then you can stylize. you don’t necessarily have to do realism but studying the human form is pretty important and a lot of artists start out that way to get to the level they are at.
I never understood it when some artists would tell people that drawing everyday is the best way to improve. In reality, what matters most is what you draw and how you draw it. For example, the best way to draw human bodies is to first learn about human proportions and how to draw the basic shapes that make up those proportions. From there, it's then a good idea to start learning how to imagine those basic shapes as 3-dimensional objects to start giving form and depth. You will also want to learn to draw dynamically, making sure none of those shapes are stiff. So instead of making a perfect cylinder for an arm, make it thicker near the shoulder, and thinner toward the elbow, and curve it a bit. Give it some directionality. I wouldn't worry about anatomy to early on, as anatomy is just details. It's way more important to first understand how to draw the human figure in a proportional manner, and to have a good understanding of how that looks in a 3D space.
There are a lot of steps, and those are just some of them. Just drawing humans alone is such a large subject and there are so many things that can be learned that it does take a very long time to really get it down. But ya, you need to be understanding and drawing the right thing for it to help you improve. If you just continually draw something incorrectly over and over again, you typically will not get better. You have to know where you went wrong and then make corrections so you don't continue to make those mistakes.
The sad thing is ... many artists tell people to just keep drawing and claim that is the only way to improve. Heck, you don't even have to draw everyday to get good, again you just need to know where to focus, what to draw and how. You will of course require practice just as everything does, but it doesn't need to necessarily be everyday.
thank you!
This is amazing progress for 30 days! Can i reccomended you to also practice perspective? A lot of people think that perspective isn't that important when your focus lies on drawing humans. But that's far from the truth! I've had my biggest artistic breakthrough when i started to understand perspective. Hope to see more improvement in the future :)
I agree with you. Perspective is one of the most important part of drawing.
I have been drawing for 9 years, and everything i learned was from youtube, and pinterest....
And its funny because Once i began to get into it, i could NOT stop doing it, I was so addicted to it and did every day on my own, i had no advice from others, and i was in love with my drawings, and i was proud of how much i was improving back in the day.
Now, I look back at my old drawings and look at the new ones, and the Glow up is just mind blowing!
So my take on it is... if you’re considering learning how to draw DO IT! Trust me at the end it’ll be worth it!
Thank you for your inspiration) 🙆🏻♀️✨❤️
Learning for yourself only is hard but I like that way better)
omg it is so nice to see someone have the exact same art story!! I also started when I was still a kid (around 5th grade) and I could NOT STOP!! Also, I rarely hear people being proud of their art, so I was happy to read your comment, because I almost always loved the results, although some of my pieces were.. well, questionable, looking back now, haha. I wish you the best of luck on your art journey and hope you are going to improve even further!

I know this may be a late comment but i wanted to know which artists did you look up/ which outlets you used while practicing to improve :>
I'm really glad you asked) Actually, I used only one pencil (which is bad), so I recommend to use soft pencils) If you can find some of that, it would be easier to make shadows, hair texture more natural and other things. Combine the hard and soft pencils)
And here are videos, which played a huge role in my development:
1. This is MohammedAgbadi's channel and he makes great reviews on some artists works. In this, he reviewed the most popular and appealing art style, so it can be really inspiring to find the art style you like and want to practice)

Thank you for your comment! ❤️✨
@@humahumsta wow Thanks
@@humahumsta You don't need all sort of different types of pencils to make good art, they are just tools, while the pencil does make your art look just a little bit better, only the user of the tools can make something good from it, if you practice enough, even a 2B mechanical pencil will be good enough.
@@jimwong7963 this! I only draw with a mechanical pencil, you can definantly use any type of tool whether it be a #2, colored pencils, pens, markers, highlighters etc. Your tools don't gotta be expensive either, I bought my mechanical pencil in a pack of like 20 for 5 dollars and it works just fine. I learned how to use my hand to make soft strokes and hard strokes too so trust you don't need like 50 pencils to draw one thing. Ofc you can if you'd like, if it works for you then awesome but if you're on a budget a pencil from the dollar store works just fine
@@jimwong7963 yeah, I absolutely agree with you) But I’m simply not a professional so I guess pencil could help)
I just remember that I used to draw at school with my favorite soft mechanical pencil and my drawings were way better than others, which I drew with other tools 😅maybe anybody has their favorite pencil 🌝
If I could give any advice to any beginners it'd be on your mindset. I constantly remind myself this all the time, your art doesn't have to always look good!! You're a beginner, you're new to art sometimes, your art is going to look bad and that's okay. If it's something you truly love and want to get better at you'll say, "okay that one was bad, but why? How can I improve this?". Trust me, you'll go much further in your art journey and you'll end up having way more fun if you aren't focused on how good your art looks.
Even though I've been doing art for many years, your video helped me formulate a plan for further developing my own skills. Sometimes as an artist, you get comfortable drawing a certain way, and it's a great reminder that it's not enough to just draw every day-- you really gotta drill yourself on learning and relearning things like anatomy and perspective. You showed fantastic improvement-- keep up the great work!

it’s a circle and some lines, how hard could it be? yes I get the joke, but it’s annoying😭
Bro please don't call this good anatomy, you can call it a decent drawing but the anatomy of the start and end of the video is fucking awful
One of my favorite artists, Ethan Becker, really summed it up best when it comes to the typical "drawing everyday" advice. Its not just about drawing everyday, its about learning *how* to learn. Meaning us as artists must have a plan of learning in incriments and practice those incriments over a long period. Whether its just taking 30 minutes a day to work on solely hands, feet, body, gestures etc. Art is very much more academic than people think.
ma man. i couldnt have said it better
Such an awesome teacher. I love how he breaks things down to the most basic & simple shapes. Really helps you see the bigger picture
@@ricekrispies1917 same! I tend to get overwhelmed when it comes to learning art but he breaks it down pretty great
It's not important what your drawings wind up looking like....the important thing is that you draw every day. It's relaxing, takes your mind off your troubles, and gets your day off to a great start when done first thing in the morning. I've been a subscriber to Danny Gregory's "Sketchbook Skool" for about 3 months now and his channel encourages you to try one sketch a day. I've already noticed a big improvement in my drawing skills. Thanks for this. Subscribed.
such progress is amazing. well done for keeping up for a whole 30days and not just cutting out the parts you didn't like as much :)
As an artist who’s drawn all their life it’s incredible to see how much progress you’ve made only in a months time! Keep up the good work and remember to give yourself a break every once in awhile, if you over work it’s more likely that Art block will happen, which is debatably one of the worst feelings!!
Thank you) ❤️
Yeah, I usually take breaks) I’m not a professional artist so I want to take as much pleasure as possible from this hobby)
What is art block if I may ask? Is it like doing something so much that you find it tiring and don’t wanna do it?
@@TeaGamingPanda Art block is when you really want to draw something but you have no idea what to draw as you have burnt yourself out of motivation and ideas. It is super common for artist and can last from a few days to a few months sometimes.
@@SuperMelloChan ohhh, okay I understand now! Thank you so much! Interesting to know a phrase for it! Thank you again!
The way she says “clothis” is so cute
Like maybe she doesn’t know she’s saying it incorrectly but that just makes it even cuter lol
Omg, thank you 😂 It’s weird but I like your comment 🌝
I’ve never even thought that I said it wrong way before 😅
@@humahumsta lol its ok ik it's a weird comment cuz like come on- I'm the one who made it! lol at least you know that's not how people typically say "clothes"
@@julielonneux327 I like your attitude 😂🌝
I’ve just tried to repeat after google the correct way and I think I’ll just leave it as “clothis” 😂 it sounded too awkward)
I'm really glad I'm not the only one who thought this lmao
Omg I was thinking that as well
From what I read online from other artists, learning to draw can take years so I believe that 30 days is not much in the grand scheme of things. But your progress is still noticeable.
Wow this was amazing to watch. Well done! Also, when you got the tip for the anatomy to draw the lines of the body in many different and unique ways and build from there, you had so much improvement. That was great to see!
Here's a thing: the pen itself doesn't matter, it's the pen being either h, hb, or b, and techniques are a half of it too. Anyway, h is for sketching, it's lighter than the other two. B is the 'darkest' which means that you get darker shades without having to press so much, and hb is in the middle. If you ask me, i'd say it's the lineart pen, but i personally use it for everything :D
Yeah, I agree with you)
But I remember I used to draw with a soft pencil when I was at school and my drawings were much better with them 😅 I felt a huge difference between hard and soft)
But anyway, if you have a skill you can with any pencil of course 🌝✨
@@humahumsta I kinda wish i had h and b pencils, i'd really wanna practise with them, but i don't- :'
@@kikherne739 sometimes the materials are so difficult to find :c
@@humahumsta YES. And i'm kinda broke so i can't really experiment with a lot of different supplies
@@kikherne739 +++
That’s actually the reason why I didn’t buy another pencil and sketchbook instead of regular copybook 🙃
But we’re gonna be fine) 🌝🍀
When her 1st drawings already look better than your drawings after you have been doing art since a child: 👁️👄👁️
🕳️🤸♀️
*I give up-*
No 😂
Never give up)
Juuust in case this isn't simply a fun joke that I'm completely overthinking: As she said, she did a lot of direct copying in the beginning! Which, kudos for mentioning that because it's usually so unclear when people show their drawings. You had tons of good tips on improving too. Anyway, it'll almost always look better when someone either completely copies or heavily references, so it doesn't make sense to compare that to all of your own art! (References are hella important to keep improving tho)
I've been drawing for five years and she was able to improve her drawings within 30 days..😭
it was a redrawing
@@Soraiyawazhere actually she figured out what to practice in few days instead of practicing blindly.
My theory: If you draw wrong thing again and again then you will perfect wrong drawing so you should always try to improve the things you did wrong in your last work, that way your progress will be much faster.
Damn,this video was amazing. Not only did we get to see some amazing drawing and how you got to be better at them but my attention was there the whole time due to your commentary. You have some real talent in art, keep it goin and you'll be top tier
I absolutely love this video. It's the most legitimate proof that practice does help in improving your work
Girl, you don't know how incredible your video is. It's been a year I stopped drawing, my 3 years in art school had traumatised me. And seeing you improving and having so much fun in the process made me instantly want to draw again. Thank you
Come draw again 😃 ❤️💜❤️
same
The same thing happened with me but with traditional art till today I'm unable to hold a brush and all these stuff (i'm just working on digital art)
czcams.com/video/yOMNMHtQD6Q/video.html
Oh my I thought I was the only one who actually didn't enjoy art school ! I mean I was only there for a year, but after that terrible year I didn't draw anything for 6 months, now I'm trying to start over hhshs
this person filled 2x more pages with drawings than i did in 1 year, big kudos for her
I’m now 5 months into my challenge to draw as much as humanly possible. Every day usually, but looking back is fun just to see the improvement.
Just stumpled across this video and WOW, great improvement in just 30 days! Kind of reminded me of the time when I tried to practice drawing regularily but I used to draw the same stuff over and over again, until I got good at that. Bummer that I can draw a pretty neat head now, but with a dorky looking body. Currently practicing all the stuff I missed out on like anatomy of the body and perspektive. Great to see that you draw so many different things and not only practicing hands for 30 days straight. I am looking forward to see more of your art in the future!! c:
(Also totally feel your struggles with the shading in the clothes)
I love how she says "clothees" very fancy, nice.
I wish I talked like that.
Thank you so much) From now I will never change the way I pronounce it))
Ik it's so adorable
@@Le_Confuzzlement yes >0
How tf did you learn how to draw the hands so frickin fast?!? 💀🤚
I honestly don't think they are good 😂 I'm suprised people think so, but thank you) Your words make me bealieve I'm not as bad as I think)
Ikr
IKR
ive been practacing for month sill cant draw hand
@@danielrobinson8920
it honestly takes a lot longer than a month so i don't know how this person did it
Marc said that drawing like you're teaching will help you improve, and I think this video is proof! I am amazed at the amt of work you put into your art, keep up the good work and this was so inspiring ^^
great job! some good things to focus on in the beginning are gesture and structure/foundation! simplifying complex forms into basic shapes/forms are really good too! understanding that will make learning anatomy easier! keep continuing to improve :)
This is why people tend to find a quick way to learn. Really, it depends on the individual and how much you wanted to learn to draw. The 30 Day challenge itself isn't so bad and I'm not really complaining at the author. This comment is aimed for those who are trying to hurry up. You need the correct tutorials and drawing books\pdf to learn properly and normally. You don't simply watch specific tutorials like "how to draw manga\anime" but rather, look for gesture drawings, anatomy and stuff.
Also, draw everyday isn't really a good tip but rather practice everyday. Meaning, you're practicing to draw what you just learned. Look for exercises, put the tutorials into heart and never forget what you just learned. Do trials and error with that in mind and be sure not to look for perfection. An Artist will always strive to improve, so to us, no drawing will always be perfect.

So just searching up a video on how to draw anotomy and looking at a reference of how to draw a face is the right way to learn?
@@grapeleiva2266 yeah because then you can draw on your own without any help and can make custom anime characters or portraits In real life .It is a long process but it is rewarding
🤧♥I will always take your advice into account, thank you. ☹️🌹
here’s a tip that i found really helpful in my improvement: use thinner lines and fewer strokes. Your work will look cleaner, and you’ll make yourself convey what you want to draw more clearly & efficiently. however, when you’re developing your *style,* you can absolutely go back to thicker lines and such once you’ve learned the foundations first
Your method of noting your mistakes & re-doing the same drawing is great! I would get bored very quickly. This video is like a how-to for a thirty-day improvement course. Great job!!
TYSM! You gave me the motivation to draw everyday from now on :> and also your drawings skill is AMAZING!
WAVY is probably using: 2B lead pencils, some HD for skething, 2B for darkening and making it more defined, and a coloured pencil BLACK to add those contrasts.
You’re right, on Wavy’s Instagram her supplies are a 2B pencil, a white pastel pencil and a mechanical pencil.
i thought she used charcoal
I think she used an 8B too
@@luisgutierrez5724 same lmao, maybe its cause she doesnt use sharp tips, instead uses a more fat tip and uses smooth larger strokes to draw
Such a comprehensive video. Beginners can't thank you enough. Love you Huma 💜
I've been re-watching this video because I really love her art. I will probably be re-watching them because me and my friend are making a little manga for fun (I'll be drawing :') and this would be part of my inspiration. Continue your art Mrs. Humsta! We'll all be looking forward to it
Girl literally surpassed my months of drawing anatomy
I’m here before this is randomly recommended to the world
You’re here right on time 🌝✨
@@humahumsta That’s a good thing then 😂👌
It happened
this is amazing omg you're motivating me to actually start taking drawing seriously since it has always been something i wanted to get better at , keep up the good work you're gonna becoma an amazing artist ! (you're already one but better is always welcome right ? ;) )
after watching how much you improved your drawing in just 30 days which i haven't in 2 years , its really inspired me do this challenge myself and see where it takes me . thanks
Can we all agree that the way she pronounces the word ''Clothes'' is extremely cute-
Can we agree pretty much everything she says is extremely cute!
Nope. Had to turn off audio and read subtitles. But everything else was amazing! Fantastic progress in drawing!
*clo this*
Ohhhh!! She said clothes???? 😂😂 I was like what is that word she is using which i dont know 🤣
I'm not sure if anyone else has mentioned this, but the artist who created those dark lines either used a black colored pencil, an 8b pencil or charcoal. Those are all used to create black lines, but i think its more likely they used a black colored pencil (i use prisma)
Your style is already developing this is awesome work
I’ve been drawing for 13 years and I can say this is a very good improvement. Your dedication is admirable, congratulations
10:50 - She uses:
Faber-Castell 9000 Pencils
Koh-I-Noor Soft Eraser Pencil in White
Milan 4865 Rubber Eraser
Derwent Electric Eraser
Moleskine Sketchbooks
Hello Kitty Mechanical Pencil (I think the brand is "WeekEight"?)
Filbert Brush for Blending (I don't know what brand)
Blending Stumps (I don't know what brand)
Vine Charcoal (I don't know what brand)
White Gel Pen (I don't know what brand)
She has quite a few other mechanical pencils as well, but I don't think this matters much since you don't know what type of lead is in it. I only mentioned the Hello Kitty one since it was branded.
A tip I could give to new artists is, draw what you SEE not what you THINK you see. References is your friend y'all and it'll make your drawings 10x better, also draw loose sketches w/a pen it's ok to mess up. A sketchbook is supposed to be for you so stop worrying about always making perfect sketches, I definantly struggled w/always making my drawings perfect that I started to find drawing as a hassle instead of a hobby I loved. (Extra tip: DON'T shy away from drawing hands, I know y'all draw y'alls characters arms behind their backs to avoid it but it's better to start drawing them hands now then later on when your drawing is flawless but the hands look half-assed lol)
omg the hand thing 💀 after seriously practicing art for about 4 years I finally devoted a couple pages to simply drawing hands and I've gotten better! I would literally leave art unfinished cause I couldn't be bothered to do that hands. now I just have to figure out how to draw shoes...
Kudos for passion and effort, you did it so well. Your drawings have been improved from the starting of the video til the end. Practice more and you'll be a great artist. I love your dedication, you deserve a medal for this
I love your art 😭🥺 I also love how unique clothes can make a drawing but oh my god I still have so little skills for good clothing and I have such fleeting motivation to draw ugh
Them: don’t use imagination! Start out with references!
My reference: *bakugo and his hair*
Recently started drawing (8 months ago) and this motivated me to further improve my skills. I can’t wait to see ur progress after one year!
I’m glad that it inspired you ✨
Thank you for your comment 🌝❤️
I really can't wait to see where you are by next year!!!
omg you improved so much i love the last drawing you ddi
“The clo-theus” the way she pronounced it is so cute
One of my favorite parts of this video
I was looking for this comment , i love how she says clothes
Time tag?
@@pright463 one time tag is around 6:43
I highly recommend drawing wiff waffles' youtube channel for those who are looking to improve or looking for inspiration. I've been drawing for years and her videos where she studies new specific topics or just tries to improve on what she already can do really help. I also just find her super entertaining and even though I don't draw as much as I used to, she definitely inspires me to draw.
Thank you for your advice, I also often watch other artists) I’ll watch it later 💛
I agree, when I was starting to learn how to draw, I would always watch her videos. They fed me so much inspiration, and that's where I got most ideas from. Drawing wiff waffles is a great place to start for beginners
i agree, but her "finding your art style" video wasn't really helpful, because she just said to take inspiration from other artists. you first need to know the rules, then you can bend and break the rules however you want to get your art style. idk maybe it's different for everyone else sorry for the rant
loved the video!!!! im one of the few that excels at re-drawing things but was never any good at drawing things of my own and this video goes to show nothing comes easy and to break it down and take smaller steps
This was by far the most helpful drawing video I've seen! I'm gonna get my sketchbook right now lol. Good job on your improvement, I think I will try this challenge too.
looking at this gif-like animation with your progress was so satisfying
Thanks a lot) ❤️🌝
Wow, you improved so much! In such short time as well. 😍 some of the sketches you did in the earlier days has so much potential, and the longer you keep practising, the more you will notice what to focus on, and what you can "chill" on. Really great job! 🙌
Here comes some advice I've learnt, if someone's interested 🙃
When it comes to sketches, all you really need to do is learn the material you're using to draw with, and then focus on identifying shapes, textures, light/shadow, perspectives and depth.
And also, try drawing "what you see" instead of "what you know". That is probably the hardest one. But it will help soo much with getting proportions looking "right". For example: you know that a face is basically "all you see" from the front, and we then tend to want to make the face "bigger" than it is, cuz it's the most important, right?! Thats why it can look weird in side-profile, for example. Because then the face suddenly only takes up maybe 1/4 of the head. And the eyes looks like they're on the cheek instead. One of my favorite exercises is to draw objects made of glass. 😅 Try it, you really have to concentrate on "what is it that I am seeing" and "how can i make it look like a warped upside-down Mr. Potato Head"
Materials which is good to start learning how to sketch with, are pencils in hb, 2b, 4b and 6b. And maybe a pen or fineliner to give the last touches or contrasts needed. (And a stompf/stump, for soft blending)
My guess is that the artist you mentioned is using a very soft pencil, for example 6b. But explore for yourself and see what you prefer.
So fun to watch, and if you want anymore tips or whatevs, you can dm me on ig @elin.k.art 🥳👊 keep sketching!!
Omg, thank you for your comment and your advices! Really! 😍❤️✨
I agree so much on the importance of the materials we use. I was kinda struggling drawing only with a hard pencil. That’s also was problematic for me to find the softer, since everything is close during quarantine 😅
You’re so accurate about faces 😂😂😂 Probably one of the most common mistakes of all beginners)
Never thought about drawing glasses, sounds quite challenging)
Thanks again for your advices 🥺❤️
You can’t imagine how much it means to me 🙏🏻 thank you ✨
@@humahumsta no worries, it's advice I would've wanted when I was starting out 😊 Hang in there, you're gonna get it soon! Look forward to seeing more art, in whatever form 💕
@@ZZantaZZ thank you ❤️✨
wait how the hell this doesnt have "read more" ??
Had to pause halfway through to plan out my own 30 day challenge. Thanks for the motivation! :)
I’ve been drawing for almost 10 years, with little to no research in my first 5 years. I drew for fun and didn’t care how it looked. 4 years ago I started to become more interested and wanting to do something within it. (Honestly I went through a horrible time while I wanted to draw more seriously) I’m proud of where I am now but woah, your amazing at drawing and expanded your skills in just 30 days! Honestly I wish I could be at your level and I’m sure once I start to learn more anatomy (I am already starting and have tried before) but I’m not the best and especially with my style of drawing, I draw very sketchy and most of the time with pen that can’t be erased so i’m scared to even start the journey within anatomy.
I think you improved so much within the 30 day challenge and you art looks amazing from start to end of this challenge. Good job!
I’m actually gonna try this! I’ve been an artist for over 13 years and I’m pretty confident in my art, but it could be better. I’ll reply to myself in 30 days to show the results! Thanks for making this video!
Thank you so much for your comment 💛
That’s so exciting, I will be waiting for your results)
update?
Ayo?
It's been 3 months....any update?
Lmao it’s been three months I kinda forgot about it! I’d say i did see some improvement, i tried my best on working out bodies since I’ve always had trouble with it.. I definitely can say this works, now my bodies don’t look so wonky- of course I do still need more improvement though-
Off Topic but the way you pronounce clothes is literally the cutest ever like I might die of happiness right now
Sorry if that’s weird or whatever but like,,, yuh
Ahah 😂😂😂
Thank you 😂 your comment really made me smile)
i feel so inspired, been wanting to learn how to draw for a long time, finally started :))
I definitely find my mental state to be a huge factor in my drawing capabilities. Days when I'm sad or upset, I will likely not be able to draw that day. Very nice improvement. Keep up the good work!
Loved it
I love your channel!
BROOOOOO U LEARN VERY QUICKKKK AND THE ANATOMYYYY, YOU'RE REALLY GOOD AT ANATOMY, I AM TELLING YOU.
You improved so quickly !!! I’m uhhhhhhhh-
I am an artist myself, and i thought that watching a video like that which represents people who want to improve their drawing would be amazing. I have to say that practice makes perfect and that u r on a good way👍🏼👍🏼keep going I’ll be cheering for u
Ive been drawing for about 5-6 years and i can say anatomy at the beginning was hard and boring for me but over time i grew a liking to learning anatomy for both male and female. Theres just something about how the body bends, twists, curves and stuff
👍👍👍
You mentioned wanted a "softer" look near the end of the video and I would HIGHLY recommend using a blending pencil! you can use it to blend out the lead to get a super nice soft look! you can find them on Amazon or in most art stores! (they come in a bunch of different sizes too!)
Yeaaah, I often see how artists blend everything with such pencil and now also think about buying one)
Thank you for your advice ❤️✨
You did amazing! I'm early on in my art journey too and seeing your growth was really cool! A big one that you may have noticed since posting this is that if you study facial proportions you'll see that the eyes are more in the middle of the head shape and not so far up, and you can get a sense of the 3D form of the egg shape in the top and back of the head and you'll feel even more happy with the hair :) Truly amazing though!
Wow girl your skills drawing the body anatomy are insane. Fr you are so good.
haha 've been drawing everyday for almost a year and I can confirm drawing every day helps you improve A LOT, especially when you practice strategiclly like this
I agree with the anatomy part lol
Yeah, that’s so true 😅
I just wanted to quit drawing when started the anatomy 🙂 but then it became better)
I am so glad I watched your video. I am a terrible person at drawing. I decided just yesterday to start a 30 day drawing challenge. I am picking out very easy things to start out with. But you gave me the confidence to try some of the harder things.
Your anatomy is incredible, literally no idea how you’re so good
