what would rather draw with for the rest of your life, colored pencils or charcoal?

The best art advice I ever got was from my A Level art teacher and it may seem obvious but you'd be surprised how many people (myself included) don't (didn't) do this.
DRAW WHAT YOU SEE, NOT WHAT YOU THINK IS THERE.
I do mostly portraits and when I was a teenager I used to wonder why i couldn't get the pieces to actually look like the person I was drawing. Turns out there was a very simple solution - draw what you actually SEE there, not (for example) "oh I know what eyes look like, let's put the eyes on". I look very close at my reference picture and instead of seeing an eye I see lines and shadows and light. This advice has helped me infinitely. I'm 34 now and draw realistic pencil portraits.

You need to “trust the process”

I’m 52, I just started painting for the first time last year and I love it, it was Slew and Ten Hundred who inspired me to do so, thanks !

[Pelagaia]

Love the commentary about getting over that ‘artist block’ and completing the project anyway even though your not loving it in the moment. I struggle with this. It’s so important to just continue. Needed to hear that today. Thx Slew

How to get better at drawing in one hour: draw for an hour. There. You're one hour better at drawing. If the drawing is terrible you learned what not to do.

Wise words here! Remember when you were a kid and someone was always telling you "practice makes perfect?" Awful words to hear because in childhood one minute is eternity, so practicing anything for thirty minutes was grueling. I think deep down we knew that practice was the answer and getting to "perfect" would take time. Hearing those words again stings just as bad now as it did back then! Love the green and blue self portraits, you've captured your essence quite well! Awesome content as always!

I usually start a drawing then walk away and come back to it the next day or week with fresh eyes and it's really helpful!!!

I actually never saw the shitty looking phase of an art piece as a barrier. I somehow started these big drawings/paintings without a lot of experience. And the first few hours in it always looked terrible, but in the end it turned out great, so i just trusted my guts and assumed that the shitty looking phase was part of the process.

[BobbyBoucher]

As a kid I drew so much all the way up to like 15-16 then I got to a point where I just felt like challenged so much and always gave up cause I didn’t like what i was drawing but what’s crazy i never lost the love for it i was just always so self conscious that I’d never get better so i stopped all together. As of recent tho I really just decided to get back into it again and not give up when I’m going thru those emotional rollercoasters you talk about. So thank you for the motivation man. You earned a subscriber. Definitely not gonna give it up this time.

I love childlike art, I love “bad” art, I love seeing others take on things because imperfections are so cute

[steph]

Love this.I had to stop drawing about 10 yrs ago and since then I've always felt intimidated to get back into it but lately been feeling inspired just came across your page and honestly can't wait to get back to it!

[moustaphandome]

I love how you said that it's essential to finish a piece, even if you go through 10 000 emotions while doing it. Reminds me of that saying from Jake Parker (creator of Inktober) : "Finish, not perfect". I try to follow that rule as much as I can too. :-)

[eclipssezz]

My tip: If you want to throw some drawing out rather think of ways to fix it and find the crucial mistake before throwing it out if it would be better to restart, just restart. This has helped me a lot and sometimes ignoring the thing I thought I did wrong, just continuing and most works turned out great.

[Muhammad-Jacobs]

First thing to note is learning to Draw takes Time! A lot of time to become great. I'm 2 years in and I still feel like I've a lot to learn still. I've invested hours every single day and I've seen tremendous improvements so far.

[angeliet.]

I like it here
I'm staying. Thanks for inspiring me you came RIGHT ON TIME.
I'm currently working on this huge piece and I was 2 seconds away from burning the whole thing up.

Drawing better is simple: iterations, over and over again, you literally create the keys to further success

2:55 I love how you emphasised "on to a piece of paper" perfectly in sync with the snare drum fill in the background music!

[punkfiendofficial]

Its Artist block what you were describing around the 6 minute mark. I had it for a while to the point I wasn't drawing I had ideas I just never put it down in the sketch book

[melissaandersonn]

The FACT he is free-styling, stunnned me. I’m amazed at his ability to do so, because I on the other, rather than suck, i have a difficult time creating the exact shape of the person i am trying to free-style; I end of creating a sicker version of a random face that I might… i subscribed before hitting around 15 minutes into your video that, wow you’re good, i’m going to follow your work🎉
