16:35 The fear of being a bad artist often gets in the way of our path on becoming a better artist.

"Draw what you love"

"As we get older and we learn more about art, we fear of messing up." Yeah. I remember when I was still in my teens, after I drew something, I really love it so much but now, I feel like I'm criticizing it too much. hahahahahahah. I guess I need to relax a little bit.

[thebuchsighoullolgameplay]

ppl who say refrence is cheating will not grow as an artist like how do you wanna know how something looks if you dont look at it while drawing

[kenzafaten]

I literally just sat down sighing over not being content with my art and feeling stuck, and your video pops up. THANK YOU!!!

[Marc-rxxg]

I literally want to scream my younger self to the ground because I wanted a "quick fix" and instead of trying to learn over time, I decided to just continue the way I always drew and I stagnated. Everyone should realize that you really have to practice and LEARN to become better, otherwise you'll stay where you are

[superworld]

Yeah yeah cool cool but...Do i need to sell my soul to learn how to draw hands?

[zainabalsalman]

I never use a reference and I mostly draw floating heads which explains why I’m not improving

Edit: stop hating in the comments it’s been 3 years sense the last time I used Gacha and having Gacha downloaded in your device doesn’t mean it’s the reason your art sucks you people should get over it.

I am a perfectionist and it ruined my motivation for art. I stopped drawing for more than 3 years and all these years I have been feeling so anxious and guilty that I couldn't draw at all. These few days, I'm slowly working on the drawing that I didn't finish back then in 2016. This video came at the right timing, I'm glad that it tells me more than just "keep on practicing". Although I have to relearn so many things, I'm going to make sure that I don't stop drawing ever again.. Thanks for the great video!!

i have been staring at the sabrina drawing in the background for almost the full video.... i love it so much <3

[justpelumii]

Sometimes I think I've been too hard on my self concerning my art and it's all just because I desperately want to get better, sometimes no matter what I draw I'm never satisfied and I keep seeing the mistakes I make despite the time and effort I put into that piece, the whole process sometimes makes me depressed and then I take a break for a while and start all over again and it just seems like I'm not improving, worse is that I don't even think I have an art style yet cause I draw a lot of random things

[mjric]

I started drawing when i was 7, now im 13 and im gonna take art seriously this time. I will update next month ^^

Edit: so its been 2 weeks, i improved a lot of drawing faces, and im learning anatomy now (sorry for my bad english btw)

[tiredpeaches]

For me I think my art has gotten worse, i used to be really good at drawing dynamic poses, details, and even hands. I think it’s because I started to post it online (not saying where) and now I basically don’t draw for myself anymore, it’s always going to be posted online or plan it to be posted online...I had fun drawing before I started posting...now it’s gotten less enjoyable than it used to be...I’m going to try my best to not post everything I draw online anymore, I’ll just keep some of my drawings to myself and let my drawings be messy. Thank you Erika for helping me figure this out

[moonbathed]

I swear to god u read my mind omggg! I was just frustrated on how all of my characters look the same and that made me not feel inspired and this has taken over me for a long time now and I don't know what to do ;-; so I hope this helps me

[courtneybrummet]

This video is by far one of the most helpful "how to improve" art video I've seen. I've been drawing seriously for five or six years now, and because I'm having to take the semester off from art school due to this Covid situation, I've decided to really focus on growing my art abilities and preparing a portfolio for an internship. So I've been searching for like the last 2 weeks to gather advice, and this is the first video where I'm like "I'm going to have to watch this again just to write everything down" because there is just SO much useful information in here! Like other videos would suggest using references or drawing frequently, but not *how* to use references and study them or *what* to draw when drawing frequently.

I'm just gonna leave this comment here (even though I barely comment on the internet) because I just needed to say it. This video is SUPER helpful and is inspiring me to pick up a pencil right now to go apply these things to my art. So THANK YOU! I really, really appreciate you taking the time out of your day to give such helpful advice to all the budding artists out there!

14:17 got me really thinking of my art "journey". I got into art because i wanted to be one of the Winx so so bad, so i got my computer mouse and drew with it in ms paint. Such a beautiful memory

[Mellow_]

Thank you I needed this ... I took a break from my art account because I’m not happy with my art and I’m questioning my skills
Thank you 💜
