    In this video I give you some useful tips surrounding the concept of getting better at drawing. This doesn't tell you how to get better, it just explains the things that you should know and expect as an artist who wants to improve.

    For anyone who cant draw arms or legs... Even a head, Raise your hands.
    (Update)
    Damn it's been 2 years since this comment existed, I've been improving guys, My art style became better and now I'm doing portaits for my fellow classmates and teacher, I've travelled so far and learned so much this milestone is such a blessing.
    Don't give up improving your drawings, Once you continue holding that pencil, Day by Day you'll learn new art styles and designs And you shall improve more and more!

      Only this time, the quarantine.. I just realized that i should've spent my time drawing everyday and not wasting it on bunch of useless things and if I've done it in the very first place, I think by now I could've drawn more amazing things and improve a lot. It made me realized what an incredible talent I have.

    As someone who has been drawing since 8 years old. I never bothered to watch a video because I always thought videos like this had bad advice, but as the years went I became better, during quarantine, I never touched my sketch pad due to stress and depression. Now I'm planning to draw again, thanks for the advice.
    To those ppl who are new to drawing, this guy is a professional, listen to his advice.

    It is so amazing that this video came in my feed!! I was feeling just the way you say. As I admire so many gorgeous drawings and paintings it just makes me feel discouraged BUT I know better and hearing it here in this video describing my feelings so accurately is to me a sign that the universe is responding trying to help me, to be supportive. It is work, it takes practice and time to get really good. I so much enjoy painting, I am a novice. For most of my life I told myself that I could not draw nor paint. At 62 years old I started painting! It seems to have surfaced as a ripple effect of decluttering my home and to stop buying stuff that I do not really need.
    I am so much enjoying the therapeutic effect it has on me. At first it was very simple subjects, child like, still fun and cute. I started to watch tutorials and improve my skills a little. This activity is a tremendous teaching for me, about delaying instant gratification, applying myself, enjoying the process, be in the NOW. There is so much to learn, it is never ending really. I cannot allow my monkey brain to sabotage this newly found passion. Thank you 🙏

    A lot of ppl trying are trying and trying so don’t give up.I was in fourth grade and a lot of ppl inspired me to draw so as a beginner I started with random papers and started to trace, this kept going on for almost 6 months and I tried tracing Disney characters. It wasn’t perfect but I was proud. So I started to learn to draw by hand, like I drew objects near me or my surroundings. Now I m doing actually great and I m really proud.

    • @ncshuriken
      @ncshuriken Před 4 lety +168

      To anyone who feels this way: Dont look at it this way. I understand the way you feel (this is how I felt about drawing in my late teens and early 20s) but trust me this kind of perspective is very self destructive. What I mean is that if we know we want to draw but we keep telling ourselves "I can't do it", "this looks terrible" , "I'm never gonna get good" etc then that will keep you stressed while drawing, and the more stressed or unrelaxed you are, the less focussed you'll be. The less focussed you are, the more mistakes you make, and this makes you even MORE stressed. Eventually this kind of mentality will probably result in you quitting. Thats what I did, I quit in my 20s thanks to a self defeatist mentality!
      Try to see it like this: "I dont suck at this, Im just a beginner, like everybody starts as. Even the masters make mistakes and failures but they didn't let it upset them, now they create amazing art!"
      Stay positive , never let mistakes/failures beat you down, understand that with daily or mostly daily practice, and time, you simply WILL get better!! I say this from personal experience having only been doing it for 4 month since I finally got back into drawing. You dont suck, you can do it!!!

  • @The_Ultimate_Faker
    @The_Ultimate_Faker Před 4 lety +685

    I have a few tips for beginning artists struggling with motivation. First, draw things you enjoy. If you have a favorite movie, show, comic book, or video game character, draw them in plain clothing with a relatively neutral look on their face to start. If you like things like flowers, look at different kinds of flowers and study the perspective. My second tip would be to watch tutorials when drawing something for the first time. There is nothing shameful about it and it will help you understand the object you are drawing. Sometime later, you can try drawing the object in a different pose or position on your own. If you have to watch more tutorials, that's okay! Lastly, if you are just beginning, don't worry about color or shading so much. In fact, I recommend not using color and using minimal shading until you are comfortable with your abilities.
    Good luck friends, have fun!

      I used to have a drawing teacher when I was bout 9-10. He'd make us draw sceneries everyday for months. I got sick and tired of it. I told him I don't wanna draw sceneries anymore, and he told me to draw a good scenery on my own if I want him to teach me something new. I spent an entire day drawing what I thought was the best drawing. But when I finally showed him, he tore it apart, criticising almost every aspect of it . I was very upset and swore to never come back to him, or even draw at all.
      Unfortunately I am still very much intolerant to Criticism. I wonder if same thing happened with you?

    Wow, blast from the past!!!!! Clicked on your video because it just popped up on my screen. I'm a painter first and a "drawer"(?) second. Trying to rectify this, hence your video popped up. Anyhoo, after about 5 seconds of your video I was transported back thirty five years to high school. I'm originally from Hull (Swanland) and you HAVE GOT to be from somewhere pretty darn close to there! Most of my family still lives there (Beverley, Hessle, Willerby etc etc). I have lived in Australia for exactly 35 years next week and I STILL have the accent (when I'm drunk).
    All that aside, really great advice. I would particularly concur with "Immerse Yourself" and "Draw Every Day". Before having kids, from the early nineties to the mid-noughties I was a Make-Up Artist in the "entertainment" industries (ie film, tv, music etc) and this was the same advice I gave to people wanting to become a MUA. So chuffed to have found your channel and will follow you diligently as I try to work on the drawing part of my art practice. All the best, it's a great channel, congrats 😊

    When people usually see my drawings they say, "wow, this is so detailed, what materials do you use?" I say, "I use a mechanical pencil." then they will look a little shocked and say "well, you must have many right? Like ones with different lead and high quality erasers-"
    "No, I only have one pencil and a broken polymer eraser." I reply blankly.
    The truth about drawing is, it's not what you use. You can use a 100$ pencil and draw a crappy flower. It's how you use what's in your hand. Heck I've seen people make amazing art with crayola crayons.

Videos like yours are helping me back to art, so thank you for that, but oh dear I seem to have a style of drawing which I don't remember developing and I don't like it. Much of what I do from now on will be about turning myself upside down and inside out to break the habits I didn't know I had and coming at looking and seeing and interpreting afresh. Thank you for your work.

    Dude , don't ever think that just because you dont get views, your content sucks, because you are one of the most talented artists on youtube and you make amazing content

    Drawing depends on mood a lot. If you're in a good mood then what you draw looks great. But if you draw when you are in anger/frustration, the drawing looks screwed up.
    So, that's an other tip. Always draw when you are in a good mood.
    Have a nice day!

      I love drawing and listening to music. When I listen to music I feel good and I draw well 😀😀

      I don't know why but I really like to draw emotional anime pictures and when I'm happy or in a good mood my drawing looks so bad but When I'm sad or angry or in a bad mood my drawing looks So good it happened 7 times! I don't know if I'm the only one 😐
