Great video and tips keep it going! Also a tip to prevent burnout is to draw something you enjoy drawing (similar to a tip you talked about but this one goes a bit into why you should draw what you like), if you want to draw characters then don't feel like it because it isn't what it seemed at first just move to another thing, art really has a lot of things to offer and checking some of those things out won't do bad, whether it's landscape drawing, characters or portraits, there are so many things and if you draw something you don't like drawing but you want to draw because you feel the need to it (whether if it's because you want to draw the same stuff as your favorite artist or you're just afriad to draw the thing you love to draw) you'll burnout, I see lots of difference between wanting something and liking something.
A lot of this stuff can be applied to more than just art. I've found myself using a lot of what you said when learning blender and Japanese, and I'm using them to great effect as I start my art journey. I hope everyone can understand the value of your advice and be able to use it for every venture in their life
@@trashcan1536 You are right, art is one of the many skills we can learn even tho its partcuraly hard one and takes a lot of time. I wish you best of luck on your art journey
My biggest problem in drawing is not even a burnout or motivation or etc. but seeing other people doing a day 1 drawing better then i am after like 5 months... which really hurts :/ i draw alot and started this year since january and if i compare myself (i know its not good but everyone does...) to your video of the year I just feel bad for myself seeing someone do so much better even do i really try my best and cant even do shit no matter how hard i try.. its just annoying. still like your Videos
Hey, you should not compare your art with mine. Everybody has thier own journey If you are not seeing the improvement compare your latest work with your first drawing or redraw it a new. I am certain you are getting better as I said in the video "art is fair" more you put into it the better you can draw. Progress could be hard to notice at first glance. I wish you best luck and if you need any advice talk to me on discord I will see what I can do
Bro this is the perfect tutorial for me although I will forget all these tips anyway I still won't know how to draw I was supposed to do the annual challenge this year but I didn't want to do so much guesture 😢
Sorry to hear you are leaving the challange but you will know how to draw if you put the effort into learning. I know people who also quit because of gesture but keep drawing whatever they desire and are slowly progressing foward. I whish you best of luck and motivatation
Tl;dr, have fun. If you aren't having fun doing it, do something else. They say you can only eat an elephant one bite at a time, and this is true for art as well. There's a mountain of information that needs to be introduced, understood, and mastered, and then turned into intuition if you want to become a master at art, but a beginner is not a master. A beginner is a beginner. They are a toddler trying to race as fast as usaine bolt because of the sheer idea (or sense of obligation) that it MUST be done before you can even call yourself an artist. In my opinion, art is a series of questions that the art piece asks you, and then you, the artist, have to answer them. How long do I draw this line, how does this curve match my reference, how do I draw a circle, how do I draw a skull, how does the light bounce off my subject are just a few of the questions you'll be asked. However, if you cannot ask yourself why you're learning to draw and say you either want to enrich your life by learning a skill of self-expression or to have fun, you should stop immediately. (This is assuming you don't want to make it a career. That requires a whole other set of skills.) Learning to draw is not something that society inherently encourages people to do. It is much better (because it is more profitable) to be able to perform basic arithmetic, draft papers, give public speeches, test taking skills, learn how to study texts to then regurgitate the information on a test later, etc. If you go into pursuing art because you feel some moralistic obligation ("I HAVE to learn it because x"), ask yourself if the relationship you have with art is healthy or if it is an extension of some grander way you perceive your relationship of how you express yourself as a whole. I say this, because I hate seeing people who constantly whine and complain over their art, talking about how horrible it is and how they perceive themselves, or how they look at art years down the line as a monster of their own creation instead of a fun little thing to do when they're bored now that they're so knee-deep in it. And if drawing doesn't work for you, don't fret. There are so many different mediums (calligraphy, pixel art, painting, iconography, etc.) and so many different forms of expression (dance, music, etc.), and unless you wish to publicly share the prowess you specifically achieved with any of them as a means to show your expertise (or lack thereof like those shitty art accounts made as a parody), it should only matter to YOU how deeply you wish to learn and master the concepts.
I mean I think if you burn yourself out by drawing everyday. You're probably not cut out to be an artist. Because I can literally draw for like 10 hours and not feel tired because I love doing it. People struggle might just not be that into it
Burnout is actually common in most things as even professional artists burnout sometimes. Since burnout is physical and mental exhaustion caused by excessive stress, and drawing saps your energy, it's extremely normal to feel burnt out.
@@vangoghloverforever for me, art is the way I de-stress so like whenever I feel bad I just draw so I just can't relate to that. Maybe if art was my full-time job and I associated it with stress. I would feel burnt out. But I saw this video a while back ago where this guy was saying he's been trying to become a professional artist for like 15 years and all his friends are working in the gaming industry and he's not anywhere close to his dream. But he also said he finds it incredibly hard to sit down and draw even for an hour a day. If you have a hard time drawing, it's probably not the career for you. Because if you got into the industry you would have to like draw at least 5 hours a day most likely.
@@williammclean6594 You are right professional artists should be able to sit through long time of drawing but some of them may still feel burnout.I believe there is many nonprofessional artists that would like to learn drawing consistency and with correct approach they would be able to fit habit of drawing in their daily schedule and don't get overwhelmed by it.
@@CutterflyArts yeah you definitely have to ease into drawing. It's hard to be able to do a lot at first. Eventually, once you become more comfortable and you're able to draw a lot without the feeling like a very long time. I had problems concentrating because I have ADHD but as soon as I got on medication I was able to concentrate.
Don't forget to share your tips and techniques under this comment
my boy really went from Noob to Teacher in a Year
I always like to share what I know in case I forget it, good to see you again in here

Very smart argument. Thank you for sharing your thoughts. I probably misunderstood the difference between 'like' and 'want,' as you mentioned.
