    Previously I have done a video for people who want to start drawing, but with a lot of new subscribers from experimental videos I wanted to introduce people uninterested in drawing to why they should start drawing.
    This video reiterates a few things from previous videos,, but in a perspective for someone who has little knowledge about drawing or art.

      ‘Natural Talent’ or a biological advantage, can help, but it probably won’t be that noticeable, and developed natural learning abilities would likely be more noticeable and make a much larger impact. Just like he said in the video
      The more you learn the better you get at learning more.
      This is especially good when you’re young when brain is growing, so your trained learning capabilities will improve faster because instead of your brain changing to it, your brain develops into it, making permanent solid improvements to your learning capabilities.
      Then as an adult you will be able to pick up new skills easily, almost as if you were still a kid because of your learning experience as a kid.

      You will probably quit. Almost everyone quits at some point. I've quit more times than I can count.
      What's important is coming back. Even if you only draw for 2 months and quit for 2 years, come back to it. You will regret it for the rest of your life if you don't come back, and the moment you start again you will feel not only a weight lifted off your shoulders, but probably also much more joy than you remember ever feeling while drawing. You will also most likely be better than you ever were. I've been drawing on and off for 15 years, and it's always worth coming back to, as is anything you want to do.

    After watching this video, I realized that it really is a fear of making something ugly or messing up that's keeping me from drawing. Before this I wouldn't have said that I'm afraid to start drawing.
    And if I end up being even medium-good at it, it would be amazing because I've spent years conditioning myself that I can't draw. And it's not just me, even art teachers when I was small used to tell me my drawing was bad. I mean I was just a 5 year old trying to draw some umbrellas and teddy bears

    A pointer for beginners: you will always think your art is disappointing. I’ve been drawing for years, but lately I’m trying to improve on the basics. Anyhow, no matter how good you get at art you will always think yours is bad. Just remember how much you’ve improved since the beginning. Look back at your old art and see how much you’ve grown. That’s what matters. That you’re trying, and it’s working. Keep going, and you can only get better!

      I mean, every once in a while you might have a breakthrough and produce something you're legit happy with. It's rare but it can happen. I had that happen to me last week; I was at a rather informal gathering and for much of it I just sat in the corner drawing... Didn't really have any real plans ahead of time for what I wanted to draw... At the end of the day I had reached a point in said drawing where I just thought "You know, I really think I did good on this one. I actually want to show this off to people." And so I did. And the other people in the room seemed to be genuinely impressed. So that was a good feeling. One that I don't expect I'll be experiencing terribly often.

      To go along with this tip, make sure to save or preserve ALL of your work. Scan it, put it in a binder or a box or whatever.
      That way in a in a month or a year or even 10 years, you can go and look back at how far you have come.
      The worst part of learning an art is that it takes a lot of time and often is learned in small steps. That makes it feel like you aren't growing or achieving anything, but by having a reminder of where you were and comparing it to where you are helps show your growth, and it shows where you could grow more.

      I love all my paintings and drawings, they are things that didn't exist before I made them happen! They don't often turn out as envisioned, and sometimes I'm embarrassed as soon as anyone looks at them, especially educated artists who judge as good or bad according to technical skills. It's worth pondering if this is because we are all aware of the works of geniuses and compare ours to theirs?

I did my first drawing without references and simply used the image I had in my mind. While the end result wasn’t bad, I knew I could do better. And so I began my art journey, studying everything from human anatomy to color theory and perspective. I did traditional art for a few months before transitioning to digital.

After I started photographing and learning more about it, I feel like I have a whole new perspective on life. Even when I don't have my camera with me I notice the colors, the lights and the shadows and little details that I wouldn't notice before and everything just becomes more beautiful. This also applies to of course, drawing, cooking, reading or even just learning about other artists. It's truly a shame a lot of adults don't feel like learning anything that won't bring a clear benefit to their life. Once you learn more about things and the process behind it, they have a whole new meaning and you just appreciate life a little more.

    Good vid. Well done. I particularly like that you also include the point that your artistic skill development also carries over into your life skill and personal development.

    I'm 51, and in short, have been drawing since I could hold a pencil.
    'Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain' and 'Drawing on the Artist Within' are two very good resources for anyone who wants to really learn to accurately draw and reproduce what's before you, instead of drawing what your brain tricks you into habitually 'believing' is there.

    The one that aims to invoke emotions with pompous yet vapid big words, which will quickly wear off like an inflated baloon.
    Instead you have a grumpy, yet unadulterated matter-of-fact approach.
    It doesn't embellish anything - in fact you'll call the audience out on the excuses.
    But it also doesn't need to because the reasoning has an intrinsic motivational value that won't wear off.

Although I feel like I'm bad at art, I can only improve if I start now, right? Thanks for making this video, I need a confidence boost.

      hi i am 15,5 and if you get better you will find out the stuff that other people in your age make is beginner stuff. And i will give you some tips first dont be sceared of making misstakes it is importent to make misstakes becaus by doing them you will see your misstakes and can fix them. A other thinge is draw every day if you want to get rly good at it if you dont feel like it draw It is very importent to be consistent. And dont watch tutorials if you dont execute them after. the last one you feel insperatet right now so you have the feeling you want to do smth but truest be this feeling will go away and you nead to be able to motivate yourself to do art. For animators you nead to learn drawing too. Sry bad enhlish i am not a native speaker

    to any beginners that just watched this video, LISTEN you don’t have to know *everything* about art like anatomy of the feet, arms, legs or anything like that!!! If you want to improve pick something that you *want* to learn not what others want you to learn and focus on that.
    And it’s *absolutely* unnecessary to know any fancy words that describes you work (like structure, perspective etc.) you come across them as you learn to analyze your works, others’ works, and your surrounding as you enjoy art for what it is and not what most people want it to be.
    A lot of artists that are famous have their own sense of individuality and it seems like they’ve accomplished far beyond what most people would deem as art.

    Those 2 lines are the whole point of a hobby. Never get too comfortable where you are or else you might stop or never improve. Even though I'm way above everyone in drawing in my school, I never get comfortable in the spot I'm in.

    I've been drawing for my whole life, so I never really noticed how it changed the way I thought. I've just always thought that way. But after learning a new language, the way I interpret words and the way I solve problems, etc, has changed greatly. I can only guess drawing changes your mind just as much. It's astonishing how much learning new skills changes who you are as a person.

  • @amaretto534

    i’ve been drawing pretty much all my life and now i’m at a point i can say i’m rlly satisfied with what i do. it takes patience, practice, and also trying to understand what could make you improve the way you want. looking at references is crucial, accommodating to the techniques you like, understanding what you’re drawing and the style you’re trying to embrace.
    also don’t feel down abt the fact that others do it way more better than you, feel inspired by them and improve everyday. it’s a long journey but if you’re passionate abt it it’s really satisfying :)

    I went to school for painting at age 26. Its funny to look back and think how embarassed I was to be an "older" art major. I assumed I was way past the cut off line to start doing art. So glad I decided to face my fears, its also helped me come out of my comfort zone in so many other aspects of my life.

      I'm 21, used to draw a lot as a kid, but because of school, I dropped out of it. Now I want to go back to drawing, I've lost all of my abilities, I need to learn back from scratch, but I'll try anyway.
      School really is your enemy when it comes to creativity. Having a lot of homeworks, people laughing at you for what you do, it's not something you can ignore with ease as a kid...
      I've been studying computers and stuff for almost 6 years now, and I still don't feel like I want to do that for a living, so I'll just try one thing after another until I find something I want to do, being good at it or not.
      Anyway, all of that to say, thank you for your comment, it gave me a bit of courage to not give up on myself yet.
