What are your biggest fears when it comes to creating art? Do you have any?

[martastdlsh]

I really like the format of this video. I've been following your channel for a very long time but this video is different. Maybe it's because of the captions or samples you added... No idea. I just love its structure :)

[ShahriarKh]

Thank you for sharing these tips! I can completely relate with the "art can be created once" mindset... Gonna practice drawing the same thing multiple times to overcome it.

Just ranting, don’t click “show more” if you don’t want to read infinite paragraphs.

I didn’t realize this was posted one day ago so I was wondering why there are ao few likes, haha.
I’m new to your channel, and your first video of the “How To Draw” series really brightened me, you gave me so much information on what materials I should afford for drawing, and mentioned how important sketches are too! Don’t tell anyone but I was spending all my life just commit the drawings without sketching, no matter I was quite bad at it. I was inspired into learning how to draw by several reasons and one of the drawings which made me feel satisfied after so long was created around this time last year. Then, a year later, I found yet again another two inspirations for myself to start learning how to draw from scratch, like, seriously learning Art. Some of my friends who are very good at drawing taught me how to draw an eye without making it look weird, and what a surprise, after so long testing lots of ways on how to draw eyes, the first eye slowly appeared as I scribble and it was so good I can’t help myself trying to draw more. Then, after all of that, I tried to draw a lot more things, especially human’s face. Couldn’t make it out myself though, since it always looks so weird right after I added some more details into the sketch. The eyes didn’t fit, I don’t know how to sketch the hair, and so many other problems.
In summary, I’m just here to try to learn Art from the beginning and I’m aiming towards the recipe on how to draw a human’s face :)
Oh and I forgot to say this, have a good one, Mr. Schaefer!

This is one area where digital tablets can be interesting to use. You can create layers or abuse the undo button. I'll always love the real thing though. The skills you learn along the way are worthwhile investments.

Your my favorite YouTuber because you inspire me so much. This is the most amazing thing that i have ever seen. I struggle with this so much. Thank you for your help!

[fourleaf]

Hi Brandon 👋🏻. I have never been afraid of the blank page (always see it as opportunity to explore!) but this video was still VERY helpful! Thank you for sharing these awesome tips. I tried to pick a favorite but they’re so good, I will apply them all!

[marciabranch]

Good morning! I have heard you say to take at least 5 to 15 minutes of each day to draw and I have heard you say some take you hours to draw, which I am sure some drawings do take one that long to draw. My question is, do you have any suggestions on how to make yourself slow down the drawing process? I have a hard time with this. Please let me know if my question makes sense. Have a great day!

[noseblist]

so inspirational, i really learned a lot from youre channel thank you so much, hope you help more people like me

[timekeeper]

There’s something I’d like to ask, How do artists start?
Like what lessons do they take first? Do they just start drawing something they want or there’s a lesson to begin with?
I’m really confused as of now.
Sorry I’m rambling right now but I need someone to answer my questions-
What do you need to start off as an artist? Specifically what do they learn first?
I tried gathering study art materials from Pinterest, Google, and YouTube but I don’t know where to start-
Do I just start sketching what I see-
Anyways yeah, Art really is complex that’s why I like it XD

[studyingasahobby]

I am in love with your channel. Thanks for your work!

Really a good video with great information!

Hi, I would like to thank you for your motivation. I want to paint like good artists. I want to develop, but I don't know how. Do you continue to draw paintings but it is not very good, does it develop? Any advice you would give me؟.. after watching this video I got excited and will go back to drawing and try again. Thank you
