Thanks for the wait! The first upload had some issues which I've edited out in this fixed version.
Enjoy!

The intro speaks to me. I spent my youth playing games, took a college degree that is no where related to art. Now I'm old but I still want to learn to draw, anime and vtubers inspire me to. I'm glad someone also went through what I'm going through, and definitely glad I found this vid

My method is the "draw > share > cope" process

Draw: draw the thing
Share: share it with my friend
Cope: cope after she tells me its dogshit

I can't tell you how encouraging it was to hear you say "I started art late." I've always done art, but I've always struggled with it. I did not have a good teacher in high school, and though I attended an art school, they did not give me formal education like you'd expect - it was very loose and just do whatever. Following disapproval from my family my pursuit of illustration was discouraged and abandoned numerous times throughout my life. To know that someone else can do it later on in life really spurs me on. Thank you!

-A quick summary of the Cycle method since it doesn't only apply to anime artstyle :
*-Draw :*
Basically draw what you want to in general as way to test your current level.
*-Reflect :*
Observe what's your weakness (flipping the canvas helps) or try remember which part of the drawing you struggled a lot so you can prioritize learning it (e.g., proportions, materials, ...) .
*-Learn :*
This is where you practice your weakness finding references or tutorials, grinding and analyzing what's necessary for you (you don't need to learn every type of clothes or every body muscles).
*-Test yourself again with the Draw phase*

Sorry mom, the dog can wait. Oridays posted a new video

For me the biggest blocker right now is drawing the body in a desired pose and correct perspective. Should be as simple as positioning a few boxes and cylinders in 3D space, but without a very close reference, it just all falls apart. I think it's important to draw at least one full body pose a day, regardless of what you're working on currently. I got engrossed in a big project and neglected that and I'm suffering now... 😥

“ hide channel “ is the absolute best anime drawing channel I ever seen… Most videos have English subtitles, but the tricks & guides he shows are just mind blowing 😵‍💫

[nBptB]

I have just started drawing and I am researching what is the core process of learning this activity. I came up with my ideas of what exactly I need to do and I happened to watch your video and it's almost exactly what I'm doing right now. I'm very happy that my conclusion was right, thank you so much.

I’m so relieved I’m not the only one trying to learn after graduating college. I’ve always felt like I’m “too late” because all these great artists are young.

Wow. I came here to learn how to draw anime as a side hobby, but this draw - reflect - learn cycle has completely changed my perspective on basically everything I do, whether it's my hobbies or even everyday schoolwork. I didn't expect this random drawing tutorial to speak to me as much as it did, but I'm really glad I found it. Great video! You've gotten me hooked on this hobby in 20 minutes

As someone who's only been drawing digital for 3 years and really interested in anime art style, this video is beyond helpful.

[neasalcryovol]

I've been drawing since I was really young but had no guidance so my art stagnated once I hit college. It wasn't until I started watching helpful art videos that I've started to improve and yours definitely hit that spot of helpful information and motivation. I especially like your videos because they focus on the anime style, whereas most others are more focused on general styles that are more realistic or western styles.
Also how do I find the time to practice art when I'm playing video games all day?!?! xDDD

Well, I'm a late starter myself- just about to graduate the next year, when I will turn 25. Honestly, when you presented "draw, reflect, learn" cycle, I'm quite happy that I figured this out by myself just a few days before watching your video and having finished my first art that took some actual effort! Draw so that actually you have practice, reflect what you did wrong and pinpoint your mistakes, and eliminate them by practising again, but having them in mind (some exercise before may be good!). Thanks for your tutorials, they really helped me have a good start!

I have been doing this method since about February this year, and I can't tell enough about how helpful it is! The biggest thing holding me back was not reflecting on what I did wrong and actively trying to improve it. I would just get frustrated that my art was not the professional quality drawings I was used to and just give up without ever finishing. Ever since I started really pushing myself to finish illustrations, even if I didn't like them, I really started to focus on the aspects I didn't like, improving them, and getting more accustomed to a good workflow.

I really need to properly study coloring. I just feel like I'm always picking the wrong colors for skin or eyes and it's holding it back from actually looking like anime art.

[tavarisch]

I didn't know the formula was that easy. I'm still a young artist and you know how much it frustrates me when I just don't see improvement quickly. When I don't see the improvement I have wanted to see, I feel that I can't improve. But I really hope this works for me, thank you for sharing such good tips to fellow artists who are only a few steps away from creating something amazing.

[SFL]

Honestly man, words really can’t explain how much of an inspiration you are for me, and most likely a lot of us, to try and continue learning to improve my drawing. The way you teach these lessons is really easy to unpack while still having really detailed explanations. I don’t think I would’ve continued trying to improve if I never found this channel. You’re and absolute legend for doing all of this.

[raz]

I was skeptical of 20 minutes of explanation on how to draw better but I stayed till the end and enjoyed every bit of info ! Very cool !

[Tomathiee]

Most youtube tutorials teaches me fundamentals.

But I love your tutorials because they teach me how to learn, which I didn’t know was so important until now.
