Being an adult and only really getting into art for 5 months, seeing all this impressive art at a young age. It made me wish I had focused on art earlier, but everyone's journey is different, keep doing what you enjoy and love.
@@РусланКаналиев-ъ7щ Same when I was younger. My classmates would tell me how early they got serious at art and I’ve wondered why and then get disappointed at myself. Although I feel like I understand things better now that I’m older, I’m still disappointed how I’ve only understood it now.
I started finding a little bit of an interest in drawing when I was in grade 9 but did really improve much until I started practicing more during the start of the pandemic. Now being an adult I felt like I could’ve start drawing a long time ago, so I feel you! Hope your art journey continues to improve! 😄👍
@@MohammedAgbadi Same BUT Nothing wrong with Trying and watch a {GOOD} Tutorials to help you and try it and when you see you {Maybe} Was wrong you will feel like you are flying to heaven Haha idk i fEEL THE Same as you buddy
I do that all the time! It feels great! I have a Princess Peach drawing from when I was 6-7ish and I’ve redrawn it multiple times. It feels like an achievement for me.
I did it. My old drawing is clean , fading and the body parts is a little bit bad. My new drawing is detailed , messy and the body part is improved bit. The old drawing drawn i think 2019
Yh especially they are aware that others dont rlly expect them to draw that way since they're younger.. I remembered at some point one of the young artist behaved so aggresively cause they had a comment being envious of them
honestly, I can't understand how people get motivated looking at someone's success. especially when that person is so much younger than you. it's devastating and makes me want to break my arms more than anything.
Combination of being real with yourself (i.e., knowing where your art stands compared to everyone else), realising that you’re not the best in the world and believing that you’ll get there eventually.
Maybe it's an ego thing, or something like that. Set it to the side, learning to be Happy for someone else genuinely can benefit so much in life. You'll feel less jealous and stuff
I had a major progress when i was 16 cuz that was when i started learning more about criticism and art tuto online (internet was finally mainstream for me at the time) but recently i barely draw anything with colours because of whats been happening. Seeing these progress both makes me wanna do better and also be intimidated by kids who are super skilled and learn fast haha
@@kecym.4808 uuumm don't draw everyday about burnt out is really important to not get burnt out about u choose to draw everyday but be aware with burnt out Btw l got burnt out of drawing everyday and l regret it 😭😭😭 So ya l hope this helps
@@kecym.4808 Years ago, I learned something at 16 that I could have learned at 6...that's "blending" or "smudging". Once I learned that in my high school painting class I must have did 10 of those realistic drawings in a two day span. My advice....START OVER.....if you're 18+, you can go to a community college and sign up for classes as a non degree seeking student. The classes you need to focus on are Drawing 1, Drawing 2, Painting 1, Painting 2, art history and humanities 1, humanities 2. Those seven classes will put you in the receptive mode to LEARN as if you were an adept art student during the Renaissance. It's important to LOVE art and STUDY art if you want to be great at it over the course of your lifetime. These classes are also important as you will learn the fundamentals and basics from which all "styles" emerge from. You can take a class a year or 3 a year, no need to rush it. I would also recommend you watch the Draftsmen podcast with Marshall Vandruff and Stan Proko. There are books they repeat over and over again, get those books. Real artist, who take this seriously, have massive instructional libraries. As a new art student, with a new directive, you're going to read and do all the activities laid out in these books... several times. Now, to actually improve, you'll have to identity what you're weak at or don't know how to do...learn it via course/video/book and do the drill method of drawing/painting 50-100-500 of that body part. In my bag, I always have my drawing/bristol board pad for completed drawings and a separate sketchpad for drill work I'm improving on. Expose yourself to this craft, it's many methodologies and be a sponge. At the same time, be an active artist who completes finished works in a dillegent, structured way. You will improve.
Remember, don't compare your progress to someone else! Everyone is different and learns/progresses differently. Just keep working on what you would like to practice, try new things, and have fun :))
I find this stuff kinda discouraging I saw a video (where there is no way of checking that what he is saying is true ) Someone showed there progress from 5 to 14 and his drawings are thousand times more accurate in shading, anatomy and everything than mine are I am 19 and stopped drawing between 11 to 17 and now i feel like i am allways behind these guys just because i stopped and that there is no way of catching up/ getting better than them I know that this isn't a bad thing and everyone betters himself on his own speed but it still hurts
I'm in the same boat, I stopped drawing when I was 13 to focus on school and now I'm 19 and I got back into it but I suck compared to all these younger people. I guess we just gotta keep drawing until we make some progress. :(
everyone progresses at a different rate, everyone spends different amounts of time on learning art. everyone has different levels of passion and dedication pushing them. everyone has different amounts of discipline pushing them to study art every day. Dont be disappointed, instead realize that everyone is different and start focusing on small things you want to improve, little by little. Improvement is not magic, these kids arent magical either. Cut off any expectations for yourself and put all your focus into improving at your own pace, this is a grind, not a magic spell
This definitely inspired me. I had my art teacher tell me to stop drawing, ironic considering she was an art teacher. And sad to say, I did stop. I felt like, "if my art teacher told me to stop drawing then whats the point". So I had stopped drawing all together and it wasn't until a few years ago that I actually picked up drawing again. I hope no one does what I did, I let someone else convince me into giving up my dreams. And now I have to start my progress all over.
How do some art teachers even have degrees for teaching young kids to do art and be creative, when they do the complete opposite. Like why choose that as your job if you're gonna tell kids to stop expressing themselves? Art teachers are artists themselves- they should be the MOST understanding when it comes to expression in art imo. Goodthing you started up on drawing again, though👍
I couldn't do a progress roll like this, as I literally keep almost none of my art. I'm also once again starting from scratch because I have too many lightbulb moments where I randomly become good at one aspect of something, and it makes my drawings and sketches unbalanced as all heck. Really inspiring to see how others progress.
Me too, my mother didn't keep my drawings when we moved and I only have a few from 2016 when I drew sonic. I think I could only do it from 2019 to today
Maybe this is just me and the way my minds operates but whenever I see videos like these It tends to have the opposite effect and makes my insecurity about my own art intensify. I get that everyone has their own art journey but it just hurts me a lot to see people younger than me (I'm 23, still young but a young adult nonetheless) already much better than me, and it feels like I haven't improved at all. I feel that I could've been as good as them when I was their age. And I don't know why I'm not. Maybe I just didn't take my art hobby as seriously, and maybe I don't want to force myself when I'm not feeling it. It makes me feel like a loser sometimes. My friend always tries to remind me that my art is better than his, which it is, but I'm always looking at these artists I follow on Twitter and just being stuck in my own head. Sorry, I just wanted to share how I feel.
It's okay to feel that way, but as someone above said. Teenagers have time and the resources that we haven't had 10 years ago. I'm 25 btw, so heads up, keep and rawing and make yourself proud of the things that you have achieved already
@@NoName12344o Thank you. That is true. I think about that, teenagers having the resources you and I didn't have long ago. But, something I need to remind myself time and time again is to just be patient, keep at it, and have fun, because if I didn't have fun drawing, I wouldn't do it. Thank you so much.
I think it's interesting to see that so many people started out drawing stuff from Dragonball and developed an interest in art because of shows and manga like that. This really hammers home that "don't draw X" is simply BS.
Is not bs, if you really want to learn to draw, you will have to start with the basics like every outstanding artist already did. You need to practice the fundamentals to understand the 3d space and perspective, and you will need to learn anatomy if you are going to focus on figure drawing. Animes are a huge simplification of all that but those anime masters understand what they are doing because the studied it. Yes, you can draw whatever you want, also it depends on what are your goals in this discipline, the path is very different for each person but the steps are the same.
@@mydarling3272 You can learn all that stuff no matter what style you draw or what style gets you started into art. But somehow people assume that people who only draw manga don't study anatomy, which is simply false.
Ikr! I started drawing in 2020, but only actually got serious in early 2021 and my biggest inspiration was (and still is) toilet bound hanako-kun, which is one of my favorite animes. I absolutely love the artstyle and character designs
I'm 16 (turning 17 this year) and sometimes I look at my old art from when I was 14-15 and think where the hell did I go wrong to have my art downgrade.. but then I think about how I'm much better at using colors and anatomy and able to portray my characters more consistently. Back then, my rendering was very good, but it wasn't consistent. When I remember all of that I realize I never downgraded from the first place and I could go back to my old rendering style with my newer knowledge.
...but the thing nobody talks about is that they either went from stickman to realism or stickman to anime scenes from the tv.... I know it's lots and lots of work and it looks good but why aren't appreciated the artists who also make a drawing souly out of their head with the use of refferences and everything... because yes, being able to draw a portrait perfectly it's nice, but what about all the artists who draw backgrounds for a living, or the ones who make insanely detailed anime characters in different poses, not just the poses u can get if you pause the anime...are...are there no such artists like that? Because that's certainly what I aspire to become :( Why is the majority of impressive art growth just realism... I used to do realism then I first started drawing too, and I say from experience, it takes time and practice and skill, but it's one of the most common thing you'll see an artist is able to do in their first few years of learning how to draw because it's not that complicated to try to recreate a picture...it only requires a good sketch, and good coloring technique... and lots of time.
Yeah, in my opinion original drawings are cooler. These artists don't copy images, they usually use different images from their drawings for reference and use their own creativity. Srry for my english, I used translator
Not every bit of realism is using references I've seen tons of realism from people's imagination and tons of non-realism using references. Sometimes reference is harder (speaking from experience) than using your imagination but either way is impressive, neither is incorrect.
@@JokeHatesItHere yes but like, how often do you think the standard realism tik tok-er uses 0 refferences vs how many draw the same picture cause it went viral. There's again, nothing wrong with that drawings are beautiful regardless and it doesn't really matter if it's made after refferences or not it's as good...yet it just becomes a bit boring that's all I'm saying...ig I wrote that sh*t sum time ago and I can't be bothered to read it again xD
@@JokeHatesItHere I've actually seen people using refferences for the character and then making it interact with different objects and have a totally different background and it's really pretty
Long before now, I'd be feeling envious. Honestly, I feel these ppl should be proud for having stuck to something they enjoy and improving on it from such a young age. Around high school, I found myself drawing less, but never abandoned the idea completely. To this day, I'm trying to draw more now that I have time. It's just the matter of sticking to it.
I remember my dad seeing me making a sketch and asked me what I was doing. I said I was drawing a character and he asked why, I said 'cuz I want to'. He then proceeded with 'Is that relevant to your studies?' when I said no, he said to stop wasting my time with it. Honestly that hurt me. I didn't stop, and that was when I tried improving my art to prove him wrong. Couple years went by, I ask him if it's OK if I do commissions and asked for advice on what my prices should be. He asked to see my art and when I showed him he was completely blown away. I asked him if I could take the Digital arts course for Senior High and he agreed. They're currently planning to buy me a tablet.
My parents were never like this. I always drew when I wanted too. (Even when I should be doing homework) they really didn’t care unless I wasn’t finishing work. Some people may not be supportive of your hobbies and some will.
keeping forward for finding or struggling for an art style makes me bored and slows my progress ironically and I still agree this video (edited due grammar)
Man all of these 8 yr old artist already drawing faces is too much. Come give us 22yr olds who are barely able to draw stick figures some representation
I saw a huge bump in art progress when I started taking college level art classes, making me realize that structure really helped me, especially when I had an internal goal in mind with the stuff I was learning in art classes. Edit: As an aside I noticed that adults (me included) are kind of surprised and taken aback by the new phenomena of 15 year olds being really Really good at art. But I found that those artists have two-three things that adults dont have and didnt have at their age: Time and Resources. It's also a huge possibility that they have also taken art classes and are given structure to their drawing practice.
It's so strange seeing so many of these artists saying their teachers told them they should quit. I'm not an art teacher but I always try to encourage my students to keep going. For kiddos that aren't as far along in their artistic journey, I point out things I like and little things that could be improved and try to show them how they can do it (Placing the eyes, shading, little adjustments). For my kiddos who are further along in their artistic journey I try to give them more pointers on what they can do to improve. I had one little girl who loves to draw, she loves showing me her work and I always praise her with compliments and just pointing out little things that could be improved, one time I told her that I think she's getting a little stuck in her style, it looks like it's the same type of character which there's nothing wrong with that but I feel like there are things she wants to get better at, so I asked her what was something she wanted to improve in her art, she said the legs and the arms, so I told her to take that and run with it, watch tutorials, experiment, look at other artists she enjoys and see what they do. She came back a week later and showed me her new piece with different spaced out legs, I told her it was fantastic and I was really proud of her. I show my students old art I did just a few years ago and how bad it looked and then show them my new stuff, they actually like it when I reward them with watching a time lapse of my pieces. Telling kids, or anyone for that matter that they should stop doing something because they're bad at it is so damaging, don't do that to people, let them learn, let them improve, and support them. That's what this world needs more of.
When you said your dad didn't want you drawing at all, I felt called! When I was in my last year in middle school I drew a lot. Like I would take a white paper and just draw and draw endlessly. I remember this day so vividly. My mom was braiding my hair outside of the house when my dad came out with my drawing in his hands. He was so furious that I was "wasting my time drawing" that he trowed them and told me to focus on my studies. I don't think I am a bad student, I do fairly well in class, and drawing was one of my favorite hobbies since I was young and in middle school, I found a community of nerds like me that liked drawing and they even introduced me to anime! All to say, I never stopped drawing, and a lot of my family members appreciate my drawing. Knowing more about my extended family stories I can understand his reaction but still, I was pretty shocked back then. That being said, that progression is all the account is great! Really inspired me to practice more!
I have the exactly same situation as yours. My parents don't want me to draw because I'm "wasting my time" and I "should be studying more". And the truth is, i have very little free time BECAUSE of school and I'm using it all on drawing. It's not even that much, maybe 2-3 hours a week. I hate that honestly, I'm studying really well and they always complain
No matter if you like it or not art envy will always be there. Jealously is different from being envious and yall miss the meaning everytime. Most artist find it discouraging when someone younger achives the goals they always desired.. Every sincw that whole I am 17 going on 18 trend, it messed up others to quit art/ go on a hiatus for months or even years. I improved in sept 2021 from starting in dec 2020, only out jealously kicked in august and i changed alot. Seeing someone younger being a pro doesn't always make others feel better.
I’m from Vietnam where STEM majors are valued and compulsory education guide students towards STEM as well (math, physics, chem, IT, etc.) I didn’t really suck at these subjects but I just knew I couldn’t stay with them in the long run. Therefore I only started drawing and art seriously in 12th grade (its a bit late) and pursuing design in my college years while also learning art as a side hustle. I wished I had focused on art more since young but until now I feel like I have made progress, some but not many :v
the ending was really frustrating, it made it seem like all that progress was just magic and happened over night. People need to hear that none of this comes easy, it all comes with practice and patience and grinding
Sometimes it doesn’t, they just learn too easily to have real struggle with it. Just accept that some people are better than you, age matters in art, and try to get better at art in your own way.
I feel really proud bc looking back at all my art, I realize just how much progress I’ve been making. At first I just drew circle heads, could not draw eyes, barely added any shading and only added highlights to the hair and eyes, and absolutely sucked. But now I don’t draw circle heads, drawing eyes is no longer impossible, I actually know how to shade, and add highlights wherever they’re supposed to be, not just the eyes and hair lol
yeah... definitely discouraging. i'm really glad this helps people who can relate but i'm just now getting into art at 22. i can't go back in time. i can practice now though! i just wish i could see the growth of people who are in a similar position as me (or were). i'm gonna keep going regardless but i can't help but feel like it's too late for me to make decent art.
I would feel so discouraged with my progress because I did the thing...compared myself to others ALL THE TIME. If they were younger, it was worse. But more lately, now that I'm "old", I'm trying to embrace all the things that I enjoy doing, but doing them one at a time until I feel like playing with another medium. I was encouraged to embrace having a well-rounded artistic skillset, because some specialize in one thing. I'm good at many things! It feels nice to know that. :-3
@@versatility2201 yeah i just feel like it just aint worth it because people my age or just a few years older are good at art even while being good at everything else makes you feel pretty worthless
@@Monika-Madison I understand man but everyone has a different pace when it comes to solidifying a skill. Remember they also don't show the times when they may have had little motivation
@@versatility2201 That's understandable. I tell you, though, if you let their work and progress discourage you for long enough, you'll fall into a pit. It's a pit I fell into. It took me some years to leave it! I don't want you to fall in there. :( I hope you keep plugging away! And know that every artist's best looking work doesn't need to manifest into realism.
Actually, I think I understand the gap between 11 and 12. I was practicing art every day for years, but then one day I just ... Quit. I came back after about 6-8 months later, and my art improved DRASTICALLY. And I didn't even do anything to get there, it just happened
Same. I hated drawing for soo many reasons as a kid. Uninspiring teachers, my horrible drawings and my mom's pushing to make me good at drawing cause she was good at it and she thought it was weird that I wasn't good with the pencil. I hated her pushing more than ever. Fast forward to when I was 10 and discovered art youtube videos and got my self esteem boost from creators like Scott (PLZ watch him. He is the wholesome art dad of this community). Legit when I held the pencil again it felt like i'd been practicing since forever (they didn't look good but it was a major improvement then what I was making before) I know people hate when people share their life story on a random comment but I relate too much to this comment
Oof so many comments about how bad they feel about someone elses art journey. Makes me sad. Focus on your art, enjoy your passion, not compare your progress to other, it's your journey, you have your reasons why you are the way you are. Make plans if you want to improve, but don't cry about it. It'll make you miserable. Go and draw something now.
Please remember that all of these people had to put GREAT EFFORT to get to the level they are in. Of course some people progress faster and others slower, and of course some people have "talent" which makes things like as art easier to pick up, but that will only lead you so far until you need to put real effort. Plus, what they upload to the internet is VERY PROBABLY but a fraction of the amount of art they did, and they themselves had to go through a huge process of trial and error to get to where they currently are. Art is not easy thing to master and it requires a lot of ,not only effort, but determination as well
So tiny rant here? I've been learning digital art since 2019 with nothing but a crappy phone and was doing gacha art and now I still do art but it just doesn't feel the same anymore- everything that in doing feels wrong or just not good enough I'm friends with a pretty famous artist in the DSMP fandom and I've been friends with her since kindergarten- we both had small art acc until she changed into digital early 2021 and she has somehow improved more than I ever could in 2 years??? I'm so proud of her for hitting 56k but I feel so unmotivated now I know our skill sets are different but tiktok ain't helping either with people younger than me just excelling in art while I'm stuck here with whatever I'm doing I know I'm improving but I don't feel like it's enough??? It's not my friends fault- she's basically my personal hypeman but it still doesn't feel like I'm doing enough I'm 14 I have my whole life to improve but my tiny pea brain wants to ✨end me ✨
Keep practising! You might not notice any improvement at first... but after you start looking back through all your work, over time you’ll see how much you’ve achieved! Never stop, but don’t wear yourself out. Take breaks if you need to, but never forget that creating art is fun, beautiful and enjoyable. Don’t let tiredness and artist block stop you forever. There’ll always be a way to continue art. (Don’t forget art comes in many different shapes, forms and colours. For example, paining, knitting, craft, brick laying etc.. if you get bored, try another art form! Basically everything’s art if you think about it 🤔 💭 )
I am slow at improving my art, and honestly, it really takes acknowledging that improving requires time spent drawing and doing studies to not feel bad about your progress. I have never, and probably will never, dedicate the same amount of time to practice as these people have.
Am I the only one or I feel like some are traced and some art is copied like Naruto art, Billie eilish, the eye and jewels and the same art style as vexx joker as well they at least appeared twice.
5:22 Hahaha, very relatable. Back in my younger days, I won't ever EVER color my human drawings' skin and eyes (the white part) because I thought it would make my drawing look weird.
I follow a local art group where there's a boy who is 9 years old and draws super photo realistic portraits. Apparently his parents forced him to learn to draw from a very young age ( making him draw for whole day and such ) since kids have better memory and observation ability, he became a remarkably well artist at such a young age
My mother told me not to think on drawing as a career and I made the mistake of listening to her. But since I finished college I'm commited to become better at art and make it my way of living. Watching other people progress only make me focus more on my goal, it fuels me. Thank you :3
Bro I can only hope to reach the point where I can do those art tutorials where they start with a few simple shapes and then it goes “add details” and it just turns into an exact copy of Starry Night or something- Tbh it better happen soon or I’ll start breaking into museums and eating the art to gain the knowledge or something-
My dad always says i have to stop wasting time and start to learn to be a doctor, since i have hemophobia (fear of blood) I can't and don't want to be a doctor, art is something i enjoyed at the age of 6-7 and took it seriously in age 12, I'm happy with my progress (doesn't mean i don't need to learn) even though i know there's still so many things i need to learn, we have to build up our dream
What I love about these is that it really goes to show that artists that we may look up to and admire, did not have good quality art when they started. In fact, nobody starts off good at anything, not just art. The first piece you create will look like dogshit, but all you gotta do is follow your heart, keep going, and let out all your blood, sweat, and tears to get to the caliber where you want to be.
It’s not about talent it’s about background and who they or what they have around them.I always see talented young artist and the first thing that comes to mind is background, their parents probably supported the art progress or they were born lucky with artistic parents etc.Or most importantly access to the internet, l had a stable internet 10 and explored the internet, found art liked it and decided to get better.Don’t forget motivation and discipline
@@aliciasam5239 Yeah, I've been drawing from a long time like I was little around 3 to 6 years old and I stopped due to school work and such. But each time I draw something or someone, my father heavily criticized my drawings and when he quarrels with me, he'd use my drawings to use against me and degrade me, because of that verbal abuse, I stopped drawing for a while or if I'm gonna draw, I would draw in the night. My mother(she doesn't live with me anymore) and my other family members supports me though and now I'm improving the areas that I'm struggling on so that I can master my craft.
when I was younger school and housework had taken most of my time so my art didn't improve like I dream of, but I'm slowly doing art again hope I won't abandoned it this time.
i don't about you but i'm more impressed about the fact this people actually kept their 4 years old drawings like.. how!!?? i barely keep my drawings of this year lol and even when i was younger and started to draw like for real at 9, i couldn't save my drawings for long lmao
Weeeeeeeelllll, I’ve been drawing for 13 years straight- (ages 1-13, meaning I’m thirteen right now) and I like seeing how I’ve improved in my art, which I’ve gotta say is quite impressive for me 🥲 I also like redrawing art because that shows me that I’ve really improved 🤌🏾✨
I had chance to take a drawing course back when I was 12, but I turned it down out of fear for getting yell at. Previously, My parents made me practice piano and chess, I showed no progress in around half a year or so, and I got yelled at and they made me quit. I was drawing on and off but in the end schools, life, jobs took over and I stopped. Now I'm trying getting back into art, almost starting from scratch again.
aw man....i dont have twitter ;-; but yeah i had people who said " You suck at art or stop doodling in class thats not going to get you nowhere...." well now i have people who are following me and asking for art and being an artist/animator IS a job so...ye even though im only 16 lol but thank you for this video this inspires me to push forward more!!
I look back my old art from ninth grad hs to now in my mid to late 20's I can see why I improving along with my confidences knowing my strength and weakness.
When i was younger and didn't know what I was doing when i started drawing, (not like I do now lmfao) I used to trace ( to clarify not others people's work but 3D models from a software). At some point i though i should stop and actually practice to improve, welp if i hadn't made that decision back then i wouldn't have improved after those years. It was worth it I'm glad i never gave up, i used to get so much discouraged coz i didnt like my art back then, now I'm proud of my improvement ^^
4 years into art, i still cant draw a lot of stuff and its annoying, its cool to learn alone, tho sometimes i wish i had someone to help me with my mistakes and help me improve other than just judge me
The reason there is always a teacher saying to stop drawing is because you're in math class. You would know that if you stopped drawing for a minute and payed attention.
I feel like as a younger artist, the older I get the more my art feels less worthwhile. I’m turning 17 soon and it just feels like there’s a lot of pressure to be good. (Especially on Instagram)
why.... i get sad when your video is almost done i wanted to watch more of you work i can learn so much for you incredible videos. i'm also an artist in progress and i will never stop with that
when i go back to school i plan on not drawing in class because the kids in my class always crowd around me and ask me to draw them and i get overwhelmed :(
jeeeeeeeeez....those are amazing minds with determination right there....sheeesh...lol...time to lock myself in a room and draw until my arm falls off....
Reminder: The only person stopping you is yourself, everyone's art journey is different so it doesn't make sense to compare your art level to someone else's. Instead compare your current skill, to your skill yesterday/a week ago/months ago and see what you can do to improve it. I'm not saying don't compare your work to other people at all (you can see what other elements of their art makes it look good and use that element in your own work) but don't compare your art journey with theirs because people start drawing at different ages, have different learning paces, some draw everyday and some don't, some put in countless of hours in learning the fundamentals and we don't notice that. Just keep going, learning and applying and you'll definitely get there! ❤
Everyone has always ignored my drawings because my little sister was one of naturally talented artists. So I just stopped doing it for years. I only started trying again a couple years ago.
Consistency is the key!! for one I like drawing but I dont like it enough to spend lots of time on it, matter of fact coloring is the part i hate the most as it is tedious and boring for me, and thats ok! I sticked to line art and it looks decent
Actually, this got me very intimidated since Im 16, draw since 12 and not this good at all. And I want to become an artist... I mean, I have learn a lot of structure, perspective, dynamics, proportions, anatomy, but my colors are really bad and I can t draw this realistic.
I just start Digital art in 2019 and now 2021 I think my art still like Library of insane human. there so much art style I used and happy to use it all. I can stick in one art style. (>3
A lot of my improvement as a teenager happened because I was in a community where everyone was a bit older than I was so I made rapid progress trying to catch up to them so I felt like I had the right to be there But I've sort of stagnated a little bit since then IMO I don't think anyone I knew from then would say that because there has been a lot of changes since then but I'm definitely one of those people who is super inconsistent because I like a lot of different things so I add and get rid of aspects literally all the time :')
14:27 an explanation for this is that during ur teen years u have accelerated learning capabilities and u can absorb new information quicker its like ur brain taking a steroid
Age is just a number in this circumstance, what matters is practice. Wanting to be a better artist because some 7 year old can draw Billie Elish isn't good motivation in my opinion and can in fact lead to self belittling. What matters is realizing why YOU want to create art and what your goals are when you master your craft.
Maybe I’m just a bitter old person (I’m 19) but seeing a person younger than me doing so much better than how I am doing right now makes me wanna quit art, break my arms, and die
Man im 12 and i make some art and i have been doing it since i was like 4 and i just started to draw human anatomy in 2021 so seeing a 4yr old make some hella sick art is pretty awesome
Oh no is this another God tier young artist I cant take this anymore 😭

I feel blessed for being a young artist
AAAAAAAAAAAAA
Being an adult and only really getting into art for 5 months, seeing all this impressive art at a young age. It made me wish I had focused on art earlier, but everyone's journey is different, keep doing what you enjoy and love.
I'm old as fuck but i'm seeing really good progress. just keep at it as long as you love doing what you love.
I think older people learn a lot faster than kids,cuz they have better observational skills.As for myself i didnt progress that much when i was a kid
@@РусланКаналиев-ъ7щ Same when I was younger. My classmates would tell me how early they got serious at art and I’ve wondered why and then get disappointed at myself. Although I feel like I understand things better now that I’m older, I’m still disappointed how I’ve only understood it now.
I started finding a little bit of an interest in drawing when I was in grade 9 but did really improve much until I started practicing more during the start of the pandemic. Now being an adult I felt like I could’ve start drawing a long time ago, so I feel you! Hope your art journey continues to improve! 😄👍
Redrawing your OLD Arts is the Best way to see how much you get better at Drawing
trueee!!! lmao but i fear this! what if my new drawing sucks
@@MohammedAgbadi Same
BUT Nothing wrong with Trying
and watch a {GOOD} Tutorials to help you
and try it and when you see you {Maybe} Was wrong
you will feel like you are flying to heaven
Haha idk i fEEL THE Same as you buddy
I do that all the time! It feels great! I have a Princess Peach drawing from when I was 6-7ish and I’ve redrawn it multiple times. It feels like an achievement for me.
@@sjsnowowl996 That's cool
I did it.
My old drawing is clean , fading and the body parts is a little bit bad.
My new drawing is detailed , messy and the body part is improved bit. The old drawing drawn i think 2019
Im happy for artists improving but seeing them show it off always crushes my motivation
Yh especially they are aware that others dont rlly expect them to draw that way since they're younger.. I remembered at some point one of the young artist behaved so aggresively cause they had a comment being envious of them
It makes me want to cut off my hands
Almost all artists show their work, so saying that they are showing off might be a stretch
tf do you fuckin want them to do?? never show them art to anyone so your dumb little feelings won’t get hurt? you’re just envious 😒
honestly, I can't understand how people get motivated looking at someone's success. especially when that person is so much younger than you. it's devastating and makes me want to break my arms more than anything.
omg same
Combination of being real with yourself (i.e., knowing where your art stands compared to everyone else), realising that you’re not the best in the world and believing that you’ll get there eventually.
It’s harder to relate to prodigies. Don’t worry I started art 4 years ago. And I’m still confused on color blending and shadows
Maybe it's an ego thing, or something like that. Set it to the side, learning to be Happy for someone else genuinely can benefit so much in life. You'll feel less jealous and stuff
I see people around my age making master pieces and I think "Wow I don't want to draw anymore"
I had a major progress when i was 16 cuz that was when i started learning more about criticism and art tuto online (internet was finally mainstream for me at the time) but recently i barely draw anything with colours because of whats been happening. Seeing these progress both makes me wanna do better and also be intimidated by kids who are super skilled and learn fast haha
Bro my art just jumped from amateur art to professional level stuff in the span of a year. I’m 15
Lol l made my profil in my other phone 6 month ago l redraw it in 4 month ago and am gonna said improvement not gonna lie
Any tips/advice.
Do you guys draw everyday? and what's the art style you did to improve?
@@kecym.4808 uuumm don't draw everyday about burnt out is really important to not get burnt out about u choose to draw everyday but be aware with burnt out
Btw l got burnt out of drawing everyday and l regret it 😭😭😭
So ya l hope this helps
@@kecym.4808 Years ago, I learned something at 16 that I could have learned at 6...that's "blending" or "smudging". Once I learned that in my high school painting class I must have did 10 of those realistic drawings in a two day span. My advice....START OVER.....if you're 18+, you can go to a community college and sign up for classes as a non degree seeking student. The classes you need to focus on are Drawing 1, Drawing 2, Painting 1, Painting 2, art history and humanities 1, humanities 2. Those seven classes will put you in the receptive mode to LEARN as if you were an adept art student during the Renaissance. It's important to LOVE art and STUDY art if you want to be great at it over the course of your lifetime. These classes are also important as you will learn the fundamentals and basics from which all "styles" emerge from. You can take a class a year or 3 a year, no need to rush it. I would also recommend you watch the Draftsmen podcast with Marshall Vandruff and Stan Proko. There are books they repeat over and over again, get those books. Real artist, who take this seriously, have massive instructional libraries. As a new art student, with a new directive, you're going to read and do all the activities laid out in these books... several times. Now, to actually improve, you'll have to identity what you're weak at or don't know how to do...learn it via course/video/book and do the drill method of drawing/painting 50-100-500 of that body part. In my bag, I always have my drawing/bristol board pad for completed drawings and a separate sketchpad for drill work I'm improving on. Expose yourself to this craft, it's many methodologies and be a sponge. At the same time, be an active artist who completes finished works in a dillegent, structured way. You will improve.
Remember, don't compare your progress to someone else! Everyone is different and learns/progresses differently. Just keep working on what you would like to practice, try new things, and have fun :))
So true! but sometimes i just want to feel something different!
I was boutta drop my art because literal children are making better progress---
Sometimes,i actually take them as a tought that i will need to progress more

I find this stuff kinda discouraging
I saw a video (where there is no way of checking that what he is saying is true )
Someone showed there progress from 5 to 14 and his drawings are thousand times more accurate in shading, anatomy and everything than mine are
I am 19 and stopped drawing between 11 to 17 and now i feel like i am allways behind these guys just because i stopped and that there is no way of catching up/ getting better than them
I know that this isn't a bad thing and everyone betters himself on his own speed but it still hurts
I'm in the same boat, I stopped drawing when I was 13 to focus on school and now I'm 19 and I got back into it but I suck compared to all these younger people. I guess we just gotta keep drawing until we make some progress. :(
Theres a video i saw of a woman whos progress is really slow and she didn't make any drastic improvements until she was 30. Dont give up
@@coffintears5821 link?
everyone progresses at a different rate, everyone spends different amounts of time on learning art. everyone has different levels of passion and dedication pushing them. everyone has different amounts of discipline pushing them to study art every day.
Dont be disappointed, instead realize that everyone is different and start focusing on small things you want to improve, little by little.
Improvement is not magic, these kids arent magical either. Cut off any expectations for yourself and put all your focus into improving at your own pace, this is a grind, not a magic spell
@@estherramsay445 ua-cam.com/users/shortsv2lJwH_A2Aw?feature=share Don't know if they're talking about this
This definitely inspired me. I had my art teacher tell me to stop drawing, ironic considering she was an art teacher. And sad to say, I did stop. I felt like, "if my art teacher told me to stop drawing then whats the point". So I had stopped drawing all together and it wasn't until a few years ago that I actually picked up drawing again.
I hope no one does what I did, I let someone else convince me into giving up my dreams. And now I have to start my progress all over.
How do some art teachers even have degrees for teaching young kids to do art and be creative, when they do the complete opposite. Like why choose that as your job if you're gonna tell kids to stop expressing themselves? Art teachers are artists themselves- they should be the MOST understanding when it comes to expression in art imo. Goodthing you started up on drawing again, though👍
Your art teacher had a degree so she can be a snot filled punk bitch to kids. There’s why she has a degree in art.
@@boiz4355honestly just in general, why do some teachers just beat down on people for no reason bro?
I couldn't do a progress roll like this, as I literally keep almost none of my art. I'm also once again starting from scratch because I have too many lightbulb moments where I randomly become good at one aspect of something, and it makes my drawings and sketches unbalanced as all heck. Really inspiring to see how others progress.
Me too, my mother didn't keep my drawings when we moved and I only have a few from 2016 when I drew sonic. I think I could only do it from 2019 to today
Oh, cool, I thought I was the only one like that.
Maybe this is just me and the way my minds operates but whenever I see videos like these It tends to have the opposite effect and makes my insecurity about my own art intensify. I get that everyone has their own art journey but it just hurts me a lot to see people younger than me (I'm 23, still young but a young adult nonetheless) already much better than me, and it feels like I haven't improved at all. I feel that I could've been as good as them when I was their age. And I don't know why I'm not. Maybe I just didn't take my art hobby as seriously, and maybe I don't want to force myself when I'm not feeling it.
It makes me feel like a loser sometimes. My friend always tries to remind me that my art is better than his, which it is, but I'm always looking at these artists I follow on Twitter and just being stuck in my own head.
Sorry, I just wanted to share how I feel.
It's okay to feel that way, but as someone above said. Teenagers have time and the resources that we haven't had 10 years ago. I'm 25 btw, so heads up, keep and rawing and make yourself proud of the things that you have achieved already
@@NoName12344o Thank you. That is true. I think about that, teenagers having the resources you and I didn't have long ago. But, something I need to remind myself time and time again is to just be patient, keep at it, and have fun, because if I didn't have fun drawing, I wouldn't do it. Thank you so much.
I think it's interesting to see that so many people started out drawing stuff from Dragonball and developed an interest in art because of shows and manga like that. This really hammers home that "don't draw X" is simply BS.
Is not bs, if you really want to learn to draw, you will have to start with the basics like every outstanding artist already did. You need to practice the fundamentals to understand the 3d space and perspective, and you will need to learn anatomy if you are going to focus on figure drawing. Animes are a huge simplification of all that but those anime masters understand what they are doing because the studied it. Yes, you can draw whatever you want, also it depends on what are your goals in this discipline, the path is very different for each person but the steps are the same.
@@mydarling3272 You can learn all that stuff no matter what style you draw or what style gets you started into art.
But somehow people assume that people who only draw manga don't study anatomy, which is simply false.
Ikr! I started drawing in 2020, but only actually got serious in early 2021 and my biggest inspiration was (and still is) toilet bound hanako-kun, which is one of my favorite animes. I absolutely love the artstyle and character designs
@@R83145yeah like wtf are they YAPPING about sayin we don’t study anatomy bro. like how tf do you come to that conclusion
most of the god tier young artists draw in the realism style
I'm 16 (turning 17 this year) and sometimes I look at my old art from when I was 14-15 and think where the hell did I go wrong to have my art downgrade.. but then I think about how I'm much better at using colors and anatomy and able to portray my characters more consistently. Back then, my rendering was very good, but it wasn't consistent. When I remember all of that I realize I never downgraded from the first place and I could go back to my old rendering style with my newer knowledge.
...but the thing nobody talks about is that they either went from stickman to realism or stickman to anime scenes from the tv.... I know it's lots and lots of work and it looks good but why aren't appreciated the artists who also make a drawing souly out of their head with the use of refferences and everything... because yes, being able to draw a portrait perfectly it's nice, but what about all the artists who draw backgrounds for a living, or the ones who make insanely detailed anime characters in different poses, not just the poses u can get if you pause the anime...are...are there no such artists like that? Because that's certainly what I aspire to become :(
Why is the majority of impressive art growth just realism...
I used to do realism then I first started drawing too, and I say from experience, it takes time and practice and skill, but it's one of the most common thing you'll see an artist is able to do in their first few years of learning how to draw because it's not that complicated to try to recreate a picture...it only requires a good sketch, and good coloring technique... and lots of time.
Yeah, in my opinion original drawings are cooler. These artists don't copy images, they usually use different images from their drawings for reference and use their own creativity. Srry for my english, I used translator
Not every bit of realism is using references I've seen tons of realism from people's imagination and tons of non-realism using references. Sometimes reference is harder (speaking from experience) than using your imagination but either way is impressive, neither is incorrect.
@@JokeHatesItHere yes but like, how often do you think the standard realism tik tok-er uses 0 refferences vs how many draw the same picture cause it went viral. There's again, nothing wrong with that drawings are beautiful regardless and it doesn't really matter if it's made after refferences or not it's as good...yet it just becomes a bit boring that's all I'm saying...ig I wrote that sh*t sum time ago and I can't be bothered to read it again xD
@@JokeHatesItHere I've actually seen people using refferences for the character and then making it interact with different objects and have a totally different background and it's really pretty
@@cheese7119 That sounds awesome actually
Long before now, I'd be feeling envious. Honestly, I feel these ppl should be proud for having stuck to something they enjoy and improving on it from such a young age. Around high school, I found myself drawing less, but never abandoned the idea completely. To this day, I'm trying to draw more now that I have time. It's just the matter of sticking to it.
I remember my dad seeing me making a sketch and asked me what I was doing. I said I was drawing a character and he asked why, I said 'cuz I want to'. He then proceeded with 'Is that relevant to your studies?' when I said no, he said to stop wasting my time with it.
Honestly that hurt me. I didn't stop, and that was when I tried improving my art to prove him wrong.
Couple years went by, I ask him if it's OK if I do commissions and asked for advice on what my prices should be. He asked to see my art and when I showed him he was completely blown away.
I asked him if I could take the Digital arts course for Senior High and he agreed. They're currently planning to buy me a tablet.
My parents were never like this. I always drew when I wanted too. (Even when I should be doing homework) they really didn’t care unless I wasn’t finishing work. Some people may not be supportive of your hobbies and some will.
glad he turned around eventually
I just want to say this with art, it’s like love !
Age doesn’t matter, you progress in your own way :3
ao true!!!
Ayo wtf
excuse me what
Yoo wtf
*Pause*
keeping forward for finding or struggling for an art style makes me bored and slows my progress ironically and I still agree this video (edited due grammar)
trueee...
I mean style isnt important anyway learning the fundamentals is more important than how your art style looks.
Man all of these 8 yr old artist already drawing faces is too much. Come give us 22yr olds who are barely able to draw stick figures some representation
Present!! But i'm already like 28 and did a lot of progress since then
I saw a huge bump in art progress when I started taking college level art classes, making me realize that structure really helped me, especially when I had an internal goal in mind with the stuff I was learning in art classes.
Edit: As an aside I noticed that adults (me included) are kind of surprised and taken aback by the new phenomena of 15 year olds being really Really good at art. But I found that those artists have two-three things that adults dont have and didnt have at their age: Time and Resources. It's also a huge possibility that they have also taken art classes and are given structure to their drawing practice.
It's so strange seeing so many of these artists saying their teachers told them they should quit. I'm not an art teacher but I always try to encourage my students to keep going. For kiddos that aren't as far along in their artistic journey, I point out things I like and little things that could be improved and try to show them how they can do it (Placing the eyes, shading, little adjustments). For my kiddos who are further along in their artistic journey I try to give them more pointers on what they can do to improve. I had one little girl who loves to draw, she loves showing me her work and I always praise her with compliments and just pointing out little things that could be improved, one time I told her that I think she's getting a little stuck in her style, it looks like it's the same type of character which there's nothing wrong with that but I feel like there are things she wants to get better at, so I asked her what was something she wanted to improve in her art, she said the legs and the arms, so I told her to take that and run with it, watch tutorials, experiment, look at other artists she enjoys and see what they do. She came back a week later and showed me her new piece with different spaced out legs, I told her it was fantastic and I was really proud of her. I show my students old art I did just a few years ago and how bad it looked and then show them my new stuff, they actually like it when I reward them with watching a time lapse of my pieces. Telling kids, or anyone for that matter that they should stop doing something because they're bad at it is so damaging, don't do that to people, let them learn, let them improve, and support them. That's what this world needs more of.
When you said your dad didn't want you drawing at all, I felt called!
When I was in my last year in middle school I drew a lot. Like I would take a white paper and just draw and draw endlessly. I remember this day so vividly. My mom was braiding my hair outside of the house when my dad came out with my drawing in his hands. He was so furious that I was "wasting my time drawing" that he trowed them and told me to focus on my studies.
I don't think I am a bad student, I do fairly well in class, and drawing was one of my favorite hobbies since I was young and in middle school, I found a community of nerds like me that liked drawing and they even introduced me to anime!
All to say, I never stopped drawing, and a lot of my family members appreciate my drawing. Knowing more about my extended family stories I can understand his reaction but still, I was pretty shocked back then.
That being said, that progression is all the account is great! Really inspired me to practice more!
I have the exactly same situation as yours.
My parents don't want me to draw because I'm "wasting my time" and I "should be studying more". And the truth is, i have very little free time BECAUSE of school and I'm using it all on drawing. It's not even that much, maybe 2-3 hours a week. I hate that honestly, I'm studying really well and they always complain
@@yeilu_ I don't your family situation but courage!
@@pandakawaiidebby890 Thank you!
No matter if you like it or not art envy will always be there. Jealously is different from being envious and yall miss the meaning everytime.
Most artist find it discouraging when someone younger achives the goals they always desired.. Every sincw that whole I am 17 going on 18 trend, it messed up others to quit art/ go on a hiatus for months or even years. I improved in sept 2021 from starting in dec 2020, only out jealously kicked in august and i changed alot. Seeing someone younger being a pro doesn't always make others feel better.
I’m from Vietnam where STEM majors are valued and compulsory education guide students towards STEM as well (math, physics, chem, IT, etc.) I didn’t really suck at these subjects but I just knew I couldn’t stay with them in the long run. Therefore I only started drawing and art seriously in 12th grade (its a bit late) and pursuing design in my college years while also learning art as a side hustle. I wished I had focused on art more since young but until now I feel like I have made progress, some but not many :v
Aw man...Ethan Becker's "Don't you ever draw with an oval" always cracks me up! Love it
11 years old me
the ending was really frustrating, it made it seem like all that progress was just magic and happened over night. People need to hear that none of this comes easy, it all comes with practice and patience and grinding
Sometimes it doesn’t, they just learn too easily to have real struggle with it. Just accept that some people are better than you, age matters in art, and try to get better at art in your own way.
YES kids being awesome at art! we love to see it!
And you are awesome too, stick figure guy!
he's amazing!!!
I feel really proud bc looking back at all my art, I realize just how much progress I’ve been making. At first I just drew circle heads, could not draw eyes, barely added any shading and only added highlights to the hair and eyes, and absolutely sucked. But now I don’t draw circle heads, drawing eyes is no longer impossible, I actually know how to shade, and add highlights wherever they’re supposed to be, not just the eyes and hair lol
yeah... definitely discouraging. i'm really glad this helps people who can relate but i'm just now getting into art at 22. i can't go back in time. i can practice now though! i just wish i could see the growth of people who are in a similar position as me (or were). i'm gonna keep going regardless but i can't help but feel like it's too late for me to make decent art.
I would feel so discouraged with my progress because I did the thing...compared myself to others ALL THE TIME. If they were younger, it was worse. But more lately, now that I'm "old", I'm trying to embrace all the things that I enjoy doing, but doing them one at a time until I feel like playing with another medium. I was encouraged to embrace having a well-rounded artistic skillset, because some specialize in one thing. I'm good at many things! It feels nice to know that. :-3
I’m younger , yet I still feel discouraged from these videos of art progress , where at age 7 they already are able to do real life portraits

Actually, I think I understand the gap between 11 and 12.
I was practicing art every day for years, but then one day I just ... Quit. I came back after about 6-8 months later, and my art improved DRASTICALLY. And I didn't even do anything to get there, it just happened
Same. I hated drawing for soo many reasons as a kid. Uninspiring teachers, my horrible drawings and my mom's pushing to make me good at drawing cause she was good at it and she thought it was weird that I wasn't good with the pencil. I hated her pushing more than ever. Fast forward to when I was 10 and discovered art youtube videos and got my self esteem boost from creators like Scott (PLZ watch him. He is the wholesome art dad of this community). Legit when I held the pencil again it felt like i'd been practicing since forever (they didn't look good but it was a major improvement then what I was making before) I know people hate when people share their life story on a random comment but I relate too much to this comment
Oof so many comments about how bad they feel about someone elses art journey. Makes me sad.
Focus on your art, enjoy your passion, not compare your progress to other, it's your journey, you have your reasons why you are the way you are. Make plans if you want to improve, but don't cry about it. It'll make you miserable. Go and draw something now.
Please remember that all of these people had to put GREAT EFFORT to get to the level they are in. Of course some people progress faster and others slower, and of course some people have "talent" which makes things like as art easier to pick up, but that will only lead you so far until you need to put real effort. Plus, what they upload to the internet is VERY PROBABLY but a fraction of the amount of art they did, and they themselves had to go through a huge process of trial and error to get to where they currently are. Art is not easy thing to master and it requires a lot of ,not only effort, but determination as well
So tiny rant here? I've been learning digital art since 2019 with nothing but a crappy phone and was doing gacha art and now I still do art but it just doesn't feel the same anymore- everything that in doing feels wrong or just not good enough
I'm friends with a pretty famous artist in the DSMP fandom and I've been friends with her since kindergarten- we both had small art acc until she changed into digital early 2021 and she has somehow improved more than I ever could in 2 years??? I'm so proud of her for hitting 56k but I feel so unmotivated now
I know our skill sets are different but tiktok ain't helping either with people younger than me just excelling in art while I'm stuck here with whatever I'm doing
I know I'm improving but I don't feel like it's enough??? It's not my friends fault- she's basically my personal hypeman but it still doesn't feel like I'm doing enough
I'm 14 I have my whole life to improve but my tiny pea brain wants to ✨end me ✨
I’m currently 14 and seeing this? It’s sad. I wish I had worked harder when I was 11.
Man that art looks so amazing
Wish I was like them someday
i wish i started as early as some of them!
Keep practising! You might not notice any improvement at first... but after you start looking back through all your work, over time you’ll see how much you’ve achieved! Never stop, but don’t wear yourself out. Take breaks if you need to, but never forget that creating art is fun, beautiful and enjoyable. Don’t let tiredness and artist block stop you forever. There’ll always be a way to continue art.
(Don’t forget art comes in many different shapes, forms and colours. For example, paining, knitting, craft, brick laying etc.. if you get bored, try another art form! Basically everything’s art if you think about it 🤔 💭 )
Improving my art is difficult when depression shows up.
But I still try.
starting at 3:10
your commentary cuts off and some music plays....
...is that intentional?
Seriously though?
Is that intentional????
I am slow at improving my art, and honestly, it really takes acknowledging that improving requires time spent drawing and doing studies to not feel bad about your progress. I have never, and probably will never, dedicate the same amount of time to practice as these people have.
Am I the only one or I feel like some are traced and some art is copied like Naruto art, Billie eilish, the eye and jewels and the same art style as vexx joker as well they at least appeared twice.
I can't understand how you haven't blown up yet, seriously your videos are always the perfect amount of humor, informative and critical
omg thankyou so much!
5:22 Hahaha, very relatable. Back in my younger days, I won't ever EVER color my human drawings' skin and eyes (the white part) because I thought it would make my drawing look weird.
I follow a local art group where there's a boy who is 9 years old and draws super photo realistic portraits. Apparently his parents forced him to learn to draw from a very young age ( making him draw for whole day and such ) since kids have better memory and observation ability, he became a remarkably well artist at such a young age
My mother told me not to think on drawing as a career and I made the mistake of listening to her. But since I finished college I'm commited to become better at art and make it my way of living. Watching other people progress only make me focus more on my goal, it fuels me. Thank you :3
My only wonder ... how can these people still find their artwork from 5-6-7 years old?? I can't even find anything I drew when I was 20 years old ...
Bro I can only hope to reach the point where I can do those art tutorials where they start with a few simple shapes and then it goes “add details” and it just turns into an exact copy of Starry Night or something- Tbh it better happen soon or I’ll start breaking into museums and eating the art to gain the knowledge or something-
7:45 OMG is that rayman music in the background....the nostalgia
My dad always says i have to stop wasting time and start to learn to be a doctor, since i have hemophobia (fear of blood) I can't and don't want to be a doctor, art is something i enjoyed at the age of 6-7 and took it seriously in age 12, I'm happy with my progress (doesn't mean i don't need to learn) even though i know there's still so many things i need to learn, we have to build up our dream
What I love about these is that it really goes to show that artists that we may look up to and admire, did not have good quality art when they started. In fact, nobody starts off good at anything, not just art. The first piece you create will look like dogshit, but all you gotta do is follow your heart, keep going, and let out all your blood, sweat, and tears to get to the caliber where you want to be.

I’m happy that I’m early for once plus redrawing old art feels so therapeutic for some reason lol
I have done a redraw of one of my old art of one of my characters and I was amazed at how far I come with my drawings.
I like redrawing old art, it helps with my art block
Some people are so talented.
Wish I can be that talented.
some people are just next level
It’s not about talent it’s about background and who they or what they have around them.I always see talented young artist and the first thing that comes to mind is background, their parents probably supported the art progress or they were born lucky with artistic parents etc.Or most importantly access to the internet, l had a stable internet 10 and explored the internet, found art liked it and decided to get better.Don’t forget motivation and discipline
@@aliciasam5239 so very true
@@estherramsay445 l mean my mother will be give much to support but as a non artist every thing looks good.
@@aliciasam5239 Yeah, I've been drawing from a long time like I was little around 3 to 6 years old and I stopped due to school work and such. But each time I draw something or someone, my father heavily criticized my drawings and when he quarrels with me, he'd use my drawings to use against me and degrade me, because of that verbal abuse, I stopped drawing for a while or if I'm gonna draw, I would draw in the night. My mother(she doesn't live with me anymore) and my other family members supports me though and now I'm improving the areas that I'm struggling on so that I can master my craft.
when I was younger school and housework had taken most of my time so my art didn't improve like I dream of, but I'm slowly doing art again hope I won't abandoned it this time.
i don't about you but i'm more impressed about the fact this people actually kept their 4 years old drawings like.. how!!?? i barely keep my drawings of this year lol and even when i was younger and started to draw like for real at 9, i couldn't save my drawings for long lmao
When you go into the comments section to upvote the comment about the edit mistake and it aint there
Weeeeeeeelllll, I’ve been drawing for 13 years straight- (ages 1-13, meaning I’m thirteen right now) and I like seeing how I’ve improved in my art, which I’ve gotta say is quite impressive for me 🥲 I also like redrawing art because that shows me that I’ve really improved 🤌🏾✨
I saw streets of rage 4 fanart and my respect for you just skyrocketed. I love that franchise SO MUCH.
I like how many this art progress video always the same:
- start drawing at 4
- teacher being unrealistically harsh
continued it on the comments
I had chance to take a drawing course back when I was 12, but I turned it down out of fear for getting yell at. Previously, My parents made me practice piano and chess, I showed no progress in around half a year or so, and I got yelled at and they made me quit. I was drawing on and off but in the end schools, life, jobs took over and I stopped. Now I'm trying getting back into art, almost starting from scratch again.
Mohammed: I hope it gave you got inspired
my brain: See you are not good at all
(i loved the video keep the good work)
The your audio cut of at 3:10 and I can only hear music?
aw man....i dont have twitter ;-; but yeah i had people who said " You suck at art or stop doodling in class thats not going to get you nowhere...." well now i have people who are following me and asking for art and being an artist/animator IS a job so...ye even though im only 16 lol but thank you for this video this inspires me to push forward more!!
I look back my old art from ninth grad hs to now in my mid to late 20's I can see why I improving along with my confidences knowing my strength and weakness.
When i was younger and didn't know what I was doing when i started drawing, (not like I do now lmfao) I used to trace ( to clarify not others people's work but 3D models from a software). At some point i though i should stop and actually practice to improve, welp if i hadn't made that decision back then i wouldn't have improved after those years. It was worth it I'm glad i never gave up, i used to get so much discouraged coz i didnt like my art back then, now I'm proud of my improvement ^^
4 years into art, i still cant draw a lot of stuff and its annoying, its cool to learn alone, tho sometimes i wish i had someone to help me with my mistakes and help me improve
other than just judge me
art discord servers can help, but be careful cuz the criticism can be overwhelming at times
@@harrietjameson hey, do you know any specific servers? i'd love to let them know
The reason there is always a teacher saying to stop drawing is because you're in math class. You would know that if you stopped drawing for a minute and payed attention.
I feel like as a younger artist, the older I get the more my art feels less worthwhile. I’m turning 17 soon and it just feels like there’s a lot of pressure to be good. (Especially on Instagram)
why.... i get sad when your video is almost done i wanted to watch more of you work
i can learn so much for you incredible videos. i'm also an artist in progress and i will never stop with that
The clip of the person starting at age 4 reminded me of when I started at age 1 !! People can be born with a mind that creates !!
I only really started drawing seriously this January, and there's already huge differences in my skills, techniques and styles.
I'm not saying I don't like the other less positive videos op has been making for a little bit, but these types of videos are really nice!
when i go back to school i plan on not drawing in class because the kids in my class always crowd around me and ask me to draw them and i get overwhelmed :(
3:10 what happened to the audio??
Well did your audio was replace by some music around 3:50 ?
Ok it's actually start from 3:11
This was a lovely video, they made beautiful progress over the years. Now I'm inspired to make an art progression video too💕💯!
Go for it! i'd love to see it!
@@MohammedAgbadi Thanks and you bet💕😄!
Man...this inspired me a lot I need to put one together as well to keep myself to grow.
jeeeeeeeeez....those are amazing minds with determination right there....sheeesh...lol...time to lock myself in a room and draw until my arm falls off....
Reminder: The only person stopping you is yourself, everyone's art journey is different so it doesn't make sense to compare your art level to someone else's. Instead compare your current skill, to your skill yesterday/a week ago/months ago and see what you can do to improve it. I'm not saying don't compare your work to other people at all (you can see what other elements of their art makes it look good and use that element in your own work) but don't compare your art journey with theirs because people start drawing at different ages, have different learning paces, some draw everyday and some don't, some put in countless of hours in learning the fundamentals and we don't notice that. Just keep going, learning and applying and you'll definitely get there! ❤
Yh but ppl don't wanna wait till they get better in them 20s. No one is being inspired when they see a 12 yr old drawing anime style like a pro
As a 13 year old who has started significantly improving last year, i hope i can be as good as them
Everyone has always ignored my drawings because my little sister was one of naturally talented artists. So I just stopped doing it for years. I only started trying again a couple years ago.
Consistency is the key!! for one I like drawing but I dont like it enough to spend lots of time on it, matter of fact coloring is the part i hate the most as it is tedious and boring for me, and thats ok! I sticked to line art and it looks decent
What's more impressive is the amount of glasses you own like damn that is some nice drip
Bruh why does the voice audio completely cut out and just play the background music for a solid minute? 🥴
Actually, this got me very intimidated since Im 16, draw since 12 and not this good at all. And I want to become an artist... I mean, I have learn a lot of structure, perspective, dynamics, proportions, anatomy, but my colors are really bad and I can t draw this realistic.
I just start Digital art in 2019 and now 2021 I think my art still like Library of insane human. there so much art style I used and happy to use it all. I can stick in one art style. (>3
A lot of my improvement as a teenager happened because I was in a community where everyone was a bit older than I was so I made rapid progress trying to catch up to them so I felt like I had the right to be there
But I've sort of stagnated a little bit since then IMO
I don't think anyone I knew from then would say that because there has been a lot of changes since then but I'm definitely one of those people who is super inconsistent because I like a lot of different things so I add and get rid of aspects literally all the time :')
I drew awesome art when i was younger with a lot of effort put into it. Now i make art that is decent but not in an most efforted way.
14:27 an explanation for this is that during ur teen years u have accelerated learning capabilities and u can absorb new information quicker its like ur brain taking a steroid
Age is just a number in this circumstance, what matters is practice. Wanting to be a better artist because some 7 year old can draw Billie Elish isn't good motivation in my opinion and can in fact lead to self belittling. What matters is realizing why YOU want to create art and what your goals are when you master your craft.
Was your voice muted intentionally at around the 3:20 mark?
realism is boring change my mind
every time i see realistic copy of that one shot from joker i die inside
But realism from life is good tho :
Hoping I can look at my old art like this one day.
14:54 that part made me get up of my chair to complain cuz I just feel the same way :v
obv its not true, progress is not magic
Man said lemmy activate Time skip IRL
Keep up the FIRE as always Mohammed
hahahaha lmaooo
Maybe I’m just a bitter old person (I’m 19) but seeing a person younger than me doing so much better than how I am doing right now makes me wanna quit art, break my arms, and die
Man im 12 and i make some art and i have been doing it since i was like 4 and i just started to draw human anatomy in 2021 so seeing a 4yr old make some hella sick art is pretty awesome
dang, how 7 y'o know about fundamentals? someone must teach em.
