Thank you, tired of youtube artists going "practice, practice, practice..." practice what? Drawing stick figures?

finally a godamn video that actually tells you, "hey, these are the main topics of art in a general way. Learn all of them" instead of going to an abstract, ethereal, lovely nonsense of feelings and point of views that make them an artist, but you can't learn that, you earn that in the process. you need tangible things served bit by bit for easy assimilation.
See you in a year to see how I improved following these steps.

EDIT: TO THE NEW ONES LOOKING FOR AN UPDATE LOOK FOR THE COMMENTS, having to explain this to each person every week is getting annoying...

[benimaro]

if you really don't know how to draw and where to start, learn the fundamental :
- shape
- anatomy
- gesture
- perspective
different artist maybe have different meaning of what fundamental is

I’ve been in a horrible rut for like five years, so this video is helpful.

Dude, thank you so much! It’s always bugged me when people have said, “oh you wanna get better? Just keep drawing!”
Because yeah, I understand that. The problem has never been drawing but more, where to start and how to effectively use my time so that I consistently improve. So thank you for giving a guideline! I appreciate it more than you know

[confettirainbowpony]

i'm not a beginner, but i've been feeling really lost and unhappy with my art lately. I found a lot of value in this video, these tips are gold! like a road map to get back on track. Thank so much for making these videos <3 saving it to my favorites<333 bless you sir!


and the last thing i drank was a frosty cold root beer! :D thanks for asking lolololol

“My teacher once said practice doesn’t make perfect, it makes permanent.” Make sure you figure out what to do before practicing!

Mohammed: don't look up Kim jun gis work

Me: looks up his work

*is confused*

Me: surprised pikachu face

Let me list everything in this video that I love:

- Defining fundamentals concisely and clearly
- A chart. Just a basic, clear, linear lesson plan
- No wait, TWO charts depending on your focus
- Immediately useful resources (Quickposes is already my favorite thing)
- Other artists to study
- Calm and relaxed presentation
- Heck, you even worked the sponsorship in so casually that it didn't bother me

Also, I gotta say that seeing your face was really helpful. Didn't realize this until the video was over, but when I'm watching a video where the person is talking about one thing and drawing another, I usually tune one or the other out, or I'm frustrated that their doing art things that they're not explaining. Just watching and listening to someone talk to me made more of a difference than I realized. I'm sure the fact that you're gorgeous didn't hurt but I think it'd be true regardless.

Thank you so much; instant sub from me.

to artists studying anatomy: Quick Poses and Posemaniacs are the way to go. trust me on this one.

Ethan Becker was a great motivation for me to get back into Drawing.

I don't know if it was the way he taught on using the simplest of shapes or if it was the Chaotic Neutral energy he always had in his videos, but he's a great artist i also recommend people to watch.

This video was also very helpful!
Thank you for this.

Backgrounds are extremely overwhelming to start doing, I feel like. Too many times where I made a new canvas with the intent of drawing backgrounds but end up just drafting more characters instead.

[premtabassum]

Yes yes yes yes.... I am also a self taught or i wanna be an artist. After 5 years of just copying others artwork with a little bit of experiment. I was thinking this not going anywhere. So i decided to take a 5month break and do some study. So this is the best video for me <3 <3 <3 🥰

[shakirsimpson]

It’s not that I’m scared of backgrounds🤔 it’s just really tedious😭😭 so the brain be like “nah, you can’t do that fool, don’t even try it”
