My tip is if you wanna get better, don't focus on getting better, focus on the experience and how great it feels to just draw and enjoy every second and process you take.

What Im taking from this is. Drawing is a lot like music in terms of learning, you don't start with playing your own songs straight off the bat, you have to learn other songs then use those skills from others playing to build your own music.

I feel like I'm not alone when I say that one of my pet peeves when asking an artist advice for how to get good is when they hit you with the "just practice!" Like no sh*t, that is a universal thing that applies to anything people want to get good at. What we want are tips and tricks that help us grow better, like how to approach drawing hair, and help us NOT to develop bad habits

I KNEW IT!! Thank you for confirming. I had been thinking... what's the best and fastest way to learn how to draw. Copy! and or Trace! It's basically how we learned to write. We copied the alphabet over and over and over until we mastered each letter. Now we can write any letter or number in countless ways and styles effortlessly. I figured this is the same with drawing. Copy and trace enough, eventually your own style will develop. You'll naturally want to zig where the picture you traced or copied zagged. Great video man!

Imitating is actually the earliest stage of learning. Can't agree more

[bgilxiw]

i even started copying someone's process and ive learned so much from that..

[ChaosGamer]

THANK YOU, Im not really a beginner but Im sick of people hating on my art for no good reason and give me all the generic bs. Thanks for the tip.

The funny thing is, the way you found out how you wanted to draw was exactly how I found out. I was a big Sailor Moon fan as a kid, and there was this still frame of Sailor Neptune that I really liked and I wanted to try drawing it. I was sitting on my couch looking back and forth from my TV screen to my sheet of paper. I can't even explain how proud I was back then, it was practically one to one. After that my parents just kinda pushed more art related stuff towards me for christmas and my birthday, and even now they still do. Glad that they caught on so early because art really is for me, even if I don't have full confidence in it now, I genuinely enjoy art.

Just rawdog it brah and have fun doing it

[MistyMoonie]

This is SO true because to improve in drawing, you gotta trace from other things and the more you recognize a certain art style, the better your art will become

Copying / Imitating is a crucial factor of being human. By copying / imitating, we literally take the idea we're trying to copy / imitate for granted, basically treating it like it's already inside us, and for some reasons it ACTUALLY gets INGRAINED into our minds after countless repetition 🤯

I actually didn't know I have been doing the same thing my WHOLE LIFE on many other fields of life without being aware of it 😱Thanks to this video, now I realized myself that I can just copy / imitate / trace other people's art styles at the beginning to help inspire and create my own foundation of ideas in the long run 💯💯

Here are some examples of copying that applies to many, if not all, humans:
- Humans copy / imitate language from older people in order to learn how to speak when they were a toddler (and it's still relevant when older)
- Humans copy / imitate their peers' ideas, behaviors, mindsets, vibes, etc... so they can be socially fit

Like people say “you gotta walk before you can run” become more passionate about art before you try to smother yourself in what is basically work.

[ChilaGamingYT]

*As a young artist my Tip's are:*
- Just enjoy drawing that's the purpose right?
- don't rush at drawing
- Draw then you want to
- Take small break's
- Be what you are dont gotta be someone else
Thats all!

[Rexieley]

Single-handedly explained what made me want to make my imaginations alive. it's to copy and reproduce what contents you love and start from there.
Incredible Aspiring video 👍

[J_DUDE_]

been drawing for a week straight now largely because of this video which actually saved me. I;m having so much more fun with it than I was expecting and it's a weird feeling to me to want to just sit and draw instead of game or scroll but I am not complaining, I get to create and that's so epic.

I have tried to learn drawing more than once by starting with the basics only, but every time I do not continue for more than 3 or 4 days and I never enjoy drawing, but a few days ago I decided to copy an anime drawing just for fun without caring about the final result at all, I enjoyed it very much and the result came out good and ignited this passion inside me very much, I decided to try to copy the drawings that I like daily while watching and practicing the basics for only 30 minutes in order to combine the two methods without losing passion and enjoyment, I doubted my method If it is correct these two days but your video has confirmed to me that my method is correct, thank you for the video I appreciate it

If somebody starts to think about improving so they do even casual search on it, it means the stage of just having fun comes to an end. Harsh truth is that if you only draw boxes and just doing exercises you may quit faster, but if you only concentrate on things that seem fun, you will quit too. Eventually, you`ll see your own work and be dissatisfied with it, without even knowing why. It because you will start to understand more about art and notice if things look wrong. At that point you gonna either pick up fundamentals and start learning properly, or you gonna quit forever.

When it comes to fun, I think overtime priorities change. I used to attend art school long time ago, since then I didn't draw much, till recently. And if then I never particularly enjoyed being precise and accurate too much, preferring to rely on life drawing and making it as I see, now I see the value of fundamentals more, as drawing even perfect cubes can be fun, if you can make them look really real. And that's the point of drawing overall - making what you draw look real. There are no tricks or easy tips for that, you need to understand how it works, that's where fundamentals come in.

If I had to make an advice to a beginner, that would be is to understand and recognize the complexity and depth that drawing as a skill have. You don't have to compare yourself to others, the only marker you should follow now is your perception. You will have fun drawing if you do it to the best of your ability, and when it stops being enough and you start feeling doubt in your work - you go and start improving your skills. Your level in drawing and your understanding of art should be in balance, so you create something you can enjoy, i.e. - have fun.

It's kinda hilarious that the best advices come from such a smal artist:3

When I was a kid, I used to pause the vcr and draw screenshots from episodes of sonic X. I had to constantly play and pause it because the screen would time out and go blue. I think back to those days all the time. The days when i had that kind of patience. These days, I wish I had continued. I was getting good at drawing back then. If I had kept going, I would be doing really well right now and would have already achieve my goals in life. Unfortunately, if I want that now, i have to start from scratch. That's really rough.
