If you enjoyed this video, I actually created a FULL 30 Day Bootcamp focused on Character Design available on my YouTube Channel!

This 30 day bootcamp covers all things that I've learned from art school, art books and videos, mentors, and also my own experiences working professionally in the animation industry for studios that did shows like Castlevania, Avatar the Last Airbender, and Legends of Vox Machina~

Weird because I’ve been at this everyday for about a week but I never thought of making a time limit I thought “try to draw everyday. Whether it’s just some ten minute doodle or a painting” and I’ve been feeling amazing lately. Excited to wake up and draw (which I haven’t felt for a long time) and I’ve been improving. I’ve been getting rid of some bad habits like not wanting to draw in my sketchbook because I don’t want to “ruin” it and instead of started to love my imperfections. It may not work for everyone but this is probably some of the happiest I’ve been for a minute :D

Some more tips as an artist currently looking to improve!

1) bring a Sketchbook everywhere! Doesn't have to be fancy. When you have some downtime at work or school, or you're waiting for transportation...draw! It's a forced time limit. Sketch gestures or favorite characters or even just bits of anatomy you need help on.

2) Big shapes before details! Essentially, draw the silhouette first. Use large shapes that indicate torso, head, etc. Then go in and add details. Always starting with the general shape. This practice helps you in breaking down the parts of objects and people you are trying to draw.

3) Line of action. Scribble a line. Squiggle one! Now use those lines to make a pose. Get quirky with it! This will help you experiment with posing the human body, and discovering which poses aren't physically possible lol

4) PINTEREST. Srsly. Make a board for art. Keep boards for references, poses, action poses, color palettes, inspiration, clothing, tips and tricks, coloring, etc. I have one for warm-ups and challenges, it's got a bunch of challenge lists and "draw in your style!" Type of things. These help me find a basis of what to draw when I'm stuck. I can always find some inspiration this way~

I read the book atomic habits. The guy explained that you need to do something and stop right before it stops being fun or feels like work. It starts a god habit and trains your brain to really enjoy it. I try to draw for at least 15 min and if im still into it i keep going until it stops being fun. Ive really enjoyed it.

Getting an ipad has been a revelation for me when it comes to drawing. I’ve been making daily paintings in procreate and actually love doing it so much to the point where I’ve been improving a TON in a matter of weeks it’s insane

i think the simplest cheat code to drawing everyday consistently is finding your muse and finding what inspires you. for example, i love making oc’s and creating backstories for characters so everyday, i have a scenario for an oc or have new ideas for a fun design to sketch out. there’s no need to put time limits or minimums down, i just draw exactly what i enjoy and stop for the day when the enjoyment and engagement starts faltering for that day

"Start with only a few minutes a day" is advice I give to pretty much anyone looking to get into illustration (though it could probably apply to learning skills in general too). I've had too many new artfellows try to jump in and grind out hundreds of boxes and gestures a day only to feel exhausted very quickly and stop for a long time/forever. I've come to find that motivation is like a muscle that you should work to strengthen before doing sprints, rather than just relying on it to carry you forever on its own. Pacing yourself is an important part of the process that I don't feel is emphasized often.

My art teacher always says, "You don't to draw all day, you just have to draw every day."

Drawing everyday used to be hard to for me because I was always scared of not drawing something perfectly, it would be too much pressure. After my summer holiday finished I started learning digital drawing again and it was really hard, but I had a passion to learn it. So I started to draw everyday, some bigger drawings but also setting myself smaller doodles that will help me control my burnout. Ever since then I've drawn everyday, only 2 months but I'm proud of myself. I'm still a perfectionist and doubt myself a lot sometimes but I love that I can draw without as much stress and I can finally let go of that feeling that every drawing has to be perfect and that I have to show it everyone. Great video (:

Short, and straight to the point! I'm trying to dedicate time to draw everyday but I'm always stuck on "what to draw" and it makes me frustrated. This video gave some good tips that will hopefully make me less stress. Thank you!

[josephshield]

Such a great little video, and so well done! This video could not have come out at a better time, this is exactly what I needed right now thank you 🙏

[WillMadeDat]

Love the welcoming vibe of this channel and definitely follow this advice along my solo journey, thanks man.

[Krenk]

I really needed something like this. Thank you!

i only burnout when i do something i don't want to do for a long time. i'm good at doing things i don't want to do. so i burnout a lot

i have gone years drawing every day without ever getting tired, and in contrast i have burnt out many times after just a week drawing every day

i think the secret is to only draw when you want to. and the trick is to find a way to want to each time you're supposed to draw. we naturally try to force ourselves to do first, without addressing whether we want to or not. conversely, we tend to give up simply because we don't want to right now. the misconception being we don't want to now, so we never will.

find a way to want to draw every time you draw, and you will never burnout. this probably applies to everything.

and don't feel guilty just because you don't feel like it right now. just evaluate everything and find something that can change that feeling. if it's not gonna happen, it's not gonna happen. next time will be easier.

i just found out about your channel, so much useful stuff!! Gonna check everything out and thank u so much for all the videoes !!!< 3

[sethjohnson]

Keep up the good work. Just started following you because of this quick short video. Been off and on beginner. Your vids and comms and resources and artwork look awsome. Throw some short videos for others on the fence to jump back into the artist community. Thx

With the state of the current art community now which is a cesspool of toxicity, it’s nearly impossible to find a chill corner in the community. I’ve left a few and am scared of finding one again

[Myah_W]

Yeah, I would love to see gesture breakdowns🎉

[hugrid]

Great video, consistency is definitely best advice, also starting small to big. I wanted to do 1000 poses in 10 days because i hoped it would help me improve, and on the first day I did actually draw 100 in few hours, on the second day I barely did 50 and then I just stopped drawing because of subconscious burnout

I use my English notebook for school and for drawing and poetry. It's a really good creative outlet, and I doodle a lot during class. I'm also now finally able to kind of draw a good orca.
