[YTartschool]

Everybody's lazy, me too! Because of this I always try to find shortcuts in everything I do, ways to optimize results and minimize efforts. This week I share everything I’ve learned over the years about improving faster with less practice 🧐🧐

[middusk]

1. Early wins 1:12 = Just draw for fun
2. Narrow focus 2:05 = Don't learn too many things at once
3. Spacing 3:03 = Take breaks on what you've learned
4. Expert framework 4:02 = Learn from experts
5. Immediate feedback 5:34 = Get feedback on others
6. Airplane mode 6:33 = Avoid getting distracted
7. Multiply your time 7:10 = Learning something once and using it many times in your art
8. Self-talk check 8:05 = You must believe in yourself

Something that helps me avoid having that thought of "I'm not improving" is to look back at my previous drawings, whether from a month ago, or even years ago, finished or old sketches, that helps you have perspective of how you have progressed, Just by seeing errors that you didn't see before you will have that immediate feedback to say, I have improved and today I can do it better

i am here pretty early but just wanna say that i am a traditional artist and i have improved so much with Marc's advices and videos. so even if you are not a digital artist he is still an awesome artist to learn from

[Miha_Minkov]

Totally new at digital art, and only starting to learn. Glad that found that channel cause with it I understand that I'm not alone 😅. Like, before this videos I had no idea from where to start. But now, only thing that left is to draw. My dream is to draw a characters and different stuff too and work in this area in future. wish myself to not be lazy and do smth).

[zerofox]

I struggle with the self-talk due to my history of everyone always expecting perfection from me in school, work, or even at home. I've really begun to tell myself that A.) If I got this far, I can go further. and B.) The ONLY difference between me and my favorite artists is experience. And experience can be gained by anyone.

It's like an RPG. I'd be like level 15 and the pros are level 100. They wandered in the tall grassy areas and leveled up over a long period of time that is difficult for the mind to see at the surface level. But they didn't stick to one area as they continued to fight challenges that are equal to their level. Any higher, and frustration and disappointment sets in. Any lower, and you don't level up. So this analogy is slowly helping me to reprogram my mind to believe in my growth capabilities, because that is something we ALL have.

I've been battling addiction recently and decided to substitute those urges with art. I don't always want to do it when I start -- especially because it's difficult to get the same sort of payoff my brain is looking for -- but sure enough I watch so many of your videos alongside this process that I feel I can tolerate my pace of improvement now.

Marc, thank you for sharing all your experience in such readily avaliable content.
I hope one day I can be at your level and give back to the art community too.

[clawofthefallen]

I draw for over 20 years and vouch that these work and were how I got to improve the most throughout the years. I also recommend making sketch sheets of that one thing you're practicing so you absorb the skill and cement it in your head. Also use that sheet to try different ways of achieving goals so you learn how to draw whatever you want from any point in stead of relying on the old "I can only draw something if I draw the head first" trapping.

[reyonettajade]

Marc, I just gotta say, your content can hit so broadly some time. I'm a life time artist who no longer draws. A life time musician that no longer plays. A life time a lot of things that I no longer do. But I try to never forget that they're always there to go back to should I want. So I keep up with your content to soak in that good knowledge. This time however you hit me in a different part of my life, which is my transition. Learning to be the person I was always meant to be is real damn hard some times. And I'm a type of person who has always just tried to forcefully cram as much into her brain as she can. I never once thought to learn about different ways to learn somehow though. I have a lot to think about now in how I'm approaching learning about myself. Thank you for that. Peace, love and learning, always ✌

[WirolfFolvert]

Yep, I agree that self-talk is very important. I started drawing many years ago (around 7 years ago), but I felt overwhelmed, my negative self-talk made me feel inadequate and unable to learn properly, and so I gave up.

But, some time ago (2 years ago), I gave it a second chance, because, inside me, I always wanted to learn to draw. In this way, I found your YouTube channel and your tutorials and that (and other resources) helped me to transform my “I can’t do it, whatever I try” to “I can do this if I want to”.

Nowadays, I’m still practicing art to become a better artist, so thanks for your hard work and passion in it

PS: sorry for long comment 😅

[legobatmanguy]

Hey Marc! I wanted to say thank you, I've been watching your videos for 5 years and I've been improving a lot thanks to you. Oh and I paid the class fee in every video!

[nonexistent]

1:15. This is so true. The only reason i started art was because i won first place in a local art competition of 100 contestants. I was only in 5th grade back then. I didn't even practiced anything. The theme was to draw any object that we want. Back then, i didn't have any idea so i just decided to draw the whole arena i saw in front of my eyes. Maybe the judges like it. That was the first time i won anything in life and my art journey started from that point on. I am currently a traditional artist but soon I'll go digital. Btw, i love these videos. They're so helpful.

[macoooh]

Immediate feedbacks is really something I need. I have a brother who became my inspiration for doing art. He pretty much doesn't do it as often as when I was a kid but I always looked up to him. Every time he makes a comment about my work even the silly ones I tend to always look at it seriously and ended fixing my art.

[aika]

Hai Marc, in my case my self talk is... Very destructive, very unkind and harsh with myself, to the point of being maiming or very crippling and I have a... Very hard time accepting praises or feeling good about the: "small victories" that "I should feel proud about"...

[Sushi_Wrestler]

I keep struggling with my consistency to learning how to draw and i often lose interest in it after some time but when i see you upload a new video i sometimes go to it because it's so interesting, drawing and stuff, i can't wait to see what you're explaining. After just the intro i am motivated and it's giving me a new perspective as how to start my drawings, although i'm learning the basics, it gives me guidance how to get my shit together and i actually got better, thanks for being here. Your passion for making videos and art is beautiful and i love it, please continue making world a better place, you seem very chill as well and you made alot progress apart from the old videos you uploaded few years ago, mostly it's visible in your way of talking, presenting stuff, being chill about it, being yourself, Thank You. Have a nice day Mark and everyone else here :)

[driverokun]

You always take out a new class that keps me motivated to becom a profesional artist, thanks you, truly

[-solo-]

Marc at it again at saving us from ourselves! Thank you so much! It’s like you know when we need your pro guidance. 😂❤

[SASS-fo]

I love how unlike most other teachers who just teach us things about the subject they are teaching, you teach things that can be used on other things too. Thank you very much for being one of best teachers to exist

[mintytrash]

The early win part reminded me of earlier today when this kid drew me as a potato person. It looked nothing like me and every feature was the wrong color BUT it was adorable.

[starbutter]

Just wanted to say ty for this, Marc. The last part definitely is the most important and Ill hold that with me forever. Im going to keep believing in myself bc I can do this. The ones that inspire me put in the effort to get to where they are so Ive gotta do the same
