This was the advice I needed. I’m “skilled”, but I fell into the same trap of just churning 3-4 hours of imagination drawing a day because I was burnt out seeing one Pinterest photo copied to another. It has its purpose, but I fatigued myself comparing fully imaginative works to other peoples studies. Wondering why it had tons of flair but I wasn’t nailing certain aspects as well. This is a happy medium of structure and fun that I need to reintroduce into my routine. Thank you for sharing!
Thank you for sharing your thoughts.I’m happy if this is any helpful. If you have any more questions or video ideas to a topic that might be helpful let me know. I appreciate your comment ☀️🙌😊
I think I am at the same point. I too need some more structure...
@@rsa4510 so then u know what to aim for 🙌
You are the second person I have heard mentioning imagination as a fundamental, and the first was the man that founded one of the best art programs I've been a part of. I subbed immediately. Great video.
Thank you and welcome :)
I actually love drawing from imagination. It often comes up with some odd poses and shapes, bit it's relaxing to just draw it without having to worry about accuracy
Oh yeah such a nice feeling ☀️
Sure imagination is good but lets not forget the greatest artists of our time used models, a reference. Like how many artists use pinterest to find their references. Drawing from imagination is really good to help strengthen drawings you've done from studys. One must really think and refer to images one has drawn before. It truly helps solidify anything you are learning.
This is really what I need. I lack basic fundamentals in drawing especially in drawing dynamic poses and different angles. I love to draw from imagination but this is what I need to make my drawings seem realistic. I’ve been sticking to abstract art cause it’s within my shell but knowing that there’s more to art, I also want to think outside the box.
Awesome ☀️☀️☀️😊🙌
Hell yeah love the written PLAN thank you !
🙌🙌🙌
This resonated with me, I’m a beginner and I've been struggling to figure out which fundamentals I should be practicing and how to structure it to the point where I've been following along with 4 different courses that are all teaching different areas of fundamentals. I figured if my week consisted of different fundamentals each day it would be a more efficient way of learning but all it’s done it’s filled me with anxiety and left me confused and feeling over stretched.
When I tried to some imagination drawing afterwards, I would just draw as I normally would, unintentionally discarding what I learned, making it feel like the studying was kinda pointless. it felt like I was going through the courses too fast with information overload and none of it sticking. Studying one thing at a time for a weeks each day and then applying what you learnt in the same session makes way more sense to me.
As a beginner how would you structure you’re foundation month in terms of topics? for example proportions, shading, would you do a whole month on proportions then move onto perspective/shading for a month or would you do a week of proportions then week of shading as they’re both fundamentals until the end of the month and then change to something like perspective for the next month. Probably overthinking this 😅
Yes! Train your imagination, we all need more of that
🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌😃
Saying you should consistently practice a regimented routine for imagination to become more creative, very German of you.. great video bro, thanks
Hahahhahahahhaha 😂😂😂
Indeed 😂
Never thought of imagination as something to be practiced and after the video it seemed obvious.
That's genius. Thanks for sharing!
@@camila8ym happy that it is useful for u 😊🙌
Dude! This is phenomenal information! Thank you!!!
My pleasure :)
- Weeks 1-4: Fundamentals n Observational = 2:40
- Weeks 5-8: Anatomy n Figure = 3:25
- Weeks 9-12: Perspective n Complex Scenes = 6:18
- Weeks 13-16: Storytelling n Sequential Art = 6:53
- Weeks 17-20: Adv. Techniques n Personal Projects = 7:35
Really useful video love it! My motivation is back 💪
Hahahhaha awesome 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Thanks for the advices!
Happy it is useful 🙌
Omg, thank you so much . I've been doing self-study for a huge amount of time, but i always stuck with a plan, and you gave it to me. Sorry for my bad English, I'm Slavic ahah . Thank you ❤❤❤❤❤
you are welcome :)
Awesome thumbnail bro I hope it get you lots of traction
Heyyyy appreciate you saying that 🙌🙏
@@Janos.Artzone +40k in two weeks good job buddy ..
nice man, you've improve alot!
Thank u 🙌
Oh yea, this is the magic sauce to learning how to burn through sketchbooks. I’m having fun already!
Awesome 😃
nice sketchbook :3
Thank you 😊☀️
I'm following proko courses, wanted to practice 3 hours as well, but it didn't feel right, 3h whatever I learned from a topic during a few days, and move on to do the same.
It makes much more sense, and it looks a lot more fun to divide the practice in different fundamentals
Yeah it does 😊
I really appreciate your advice, can give use a few suggestion on how to build a visual library and also, I want a lesson on how to draw directly with a pen like you. I like this way of drawing but I couldn't do the same
Okay, I can combine this with a sketchbook tour since my sketchbook is almost full.
schöne Zeichnungen. Guter Lernplan.
Danke 🙏🙌🙌🙌
I'm at the stick man and square box house level of skill, so I've a super long way to go yet! Just wanted to say how inspiring your sketch book is. And I love the idea of copy and practice on one page and then apply with imagination on the opposite side. I would love to see a video showing how you approach mistakes. Do you erase mistakes when practising or leave them in place as a learning reference?
Thank you 😊 when it comes to mistakes I just leave them or try to hide them through creating new shapes or darken the area
Thanks man I needed this. I'm fairly skilled but I get too complacent, complacency is my flaw on a personal level.
Breaking it down to bite size like what you showed instead of drawing the same thing repetitively should help get me out of the rut, I need to branch out and explore. And drawing from imagination, I probably do that too much. Lol
Happy u can use it 🙌👍🏻 I see often that people really overthink the whole process. We need to find a way for a natural habit of creating 😊
Drawing with pen actually really helpt me was to lazy to sketch and filled a sketch book with just pen few days ago i deceided to sketch first and made the best drawing i ever made hahah (still a beginner tho😂)
Hahahha awesome 😂 thank for sharing 🙌☀️
cool jetzt weiß ich wie ich beginnen soll. Mal schauen was aus mir wird nach den 20 Wochen😂 Du bist meine Rettung. Danke!
Geil! Lass mich wissen wie es lief. Arbeite gerade an einem Kurs dazu.
@@Janos.Artzone mach ich
@@anonymanonym3669 🔥🔥🔥
ok ill do this and come back to update in 20 weeks wish me luck
U can do it 🔥🔥🔥
Hey Hey! First of all thank you for your content! ^^ Just found you through your reaction to pewdiepie and got stuck on your channel! :D I wanted to ask what your plan suggest for week 13-16 because I did not see a slide that mentioned that?
Hey Serrion thank you for your comment, I dont remember if I mentioned inside the video but here is 13-16 again (sending it from my phone) :
Weeks 13-16: Storytelling and Sequential Art
Monday to Sunday:
1 hour: Begin exploring sequential art and storytelling. Create simple comic strips or storyboards.
1 hour: Work on character design and development. Experiment with various characters and styles.
1 hour: Illustrate scenes with multiple characters interacting in various environments.
Hope that is what you where looking for.
Thanks a lot for supporting my channel :) Best
@@Janos.Artzone Thanks that is what I was looking for!!! :D Just rewatched it as well and found it at 6:51 for a couple of seconds! ^^
@@serrion1394 what was I thinking 😂
Come with me and you'll be
In a world of pure imagination
Take a look and you'll see
Into your imagination!
😊😊☀️
How to breakdown drawings for study and make journal entries for improvement ? I suggest that topic :-)
Thank you 🫡
been lookin for this
🙌😊🫡🫡🫡☀️
Thanks for the vid Janos. Do you have any specific resources you recommend for learning complete beginner fundamentals? It's overwhelming finding somewhere to start 😭
Well I know there is not really soemthing, but I work on a online course which will cover the first basics. Feel free to sign up on my website to get the email when its done :) thanks for the support !
@@Janos.Artzone Ok looking forward to it!
hahaha ich setzt mir als Zeitlimit immer den Film den ich nebenbei schaue und üben tue ich gerade what ever. Mein Fokus dieses Jahr ist zum Glück eher back into art zukommen anstatt krass besser zu werden, einfach weil ich durch meine Uni eine superlange Pause hatte und ich hab so drei angefangene Skizzenbucher rumliegen die einfach mal voll werden sollen weil ich das papier in denen nicht soooo unglaublich doll mag
Ja mega alles was funktioniert ist doch gut. Hab früher am Anfang Herr der Ringe und Hobbit in dauerschleife nebenbei laufen gehabt 😂😂😂
Jedentag was zu machen ist der erste Schritt in Glückseligkeit
hahah voll und ich hab eh so viele Filme auf meiner Watchlist might as well@@Janos.Artzone 😂
Can you make a video on how to enter and practice gesture drawing for beginners? Please.
I know there are many videos like that, but I would like to know how you did it 👍
Okay so only on gestures ?
@@Janos.Artzone Well, yes, I would prefer that, although you could also make it more general if you want. Thanks for reply man
Okay let me cook :D@@ronaldogarcia8458
Thank you! Very helpful 🩷 What I'm wondering is, if you are a beginner in drawing, do you need to work on reference works from real photographs or artists' drawings? ((Which one leads to faster development?) 🥺
Well depends, if you want to learn specific stylistic choices by your favorite artist you can do studies of it. But if you want to produce your own drawing lets say a knight, I would always go for a real photo reference to enforce my drawing with the proper information. The fastest development is by trying to draw your own imagninative idea and strenghten it with information of reference. If you just draw what you see and like it will take much longer because you do not streamline the learning curve. Hope this helps :))))
@@Janos.Artzone I am not at the stage of creating my own artwork. I mean, for example, I'm studying portraits, I have a hard time applying this to the drawing from real people. Would it be right for me to study the drawings of artists to understand anatomy and how it is adapted to drawing (separation of the nose into geometric forms, etc.)?
@@idkdude7662 yes break it down, learn from real photos if you study.
I think learning the fundamentals can help ( like basic perspective, shapes and forms, construction) just don't push yourself too much @@idkdude7662
I really want to learn to draw and get to a high level, I just don't know where to start as a person who has never drawn before. I don't have money for a school which is unfortunate since I like structure. Do you have any good books or resources for beginners who have never drawn before? Epecially for the fundamentals since I imagine it is important to learn those before anything else. I just pick up my sketchbook and have no idea what to do.
Cheers!
Hey I´m working and finishing my online course :) I will let u know when its done!
@@Janos.Artzone interesting! Def let me know. I really want to do this!
Do you think this schedule would work if I cut the overall time in half(half an hour per subject, one and a half hour per day)? Because of my work hours, I have from 08:00 to 10:00 to study.
At least you can try it 😊
"Make sure you draw every day." This plan doesn't work unless you're insanely dedicated. Even then, the possibility of a burnout is very real. You don't have to draw every day. You don't have to do it for three or even one hour. Just try to get into the habit of drawing by keeping a regular schedule. As for what you draw, that depends entirely on what you want to do with it. Even if you're a casual, you can have significant improvement if you learn the right things. As for what's right, look around and maybe you'll find out, or maybe you won't. I can't say, since I'm not a professional.
Well, yes and no. Drawing for fun should be done when you want to draw, so drawing everyday is not an option I agree. Obviously when you decide to get better while reaching a goal you have to bring certain dedication to the table because why would you do it anyways? And I was also speaking from drawing at least 1 hour a day which is designed the way that you also consider having bad drawing days where u either don’t feel it or u don’t have time. But from 1hour of drawing everyday you also don’t burn out. I worked 100 hours a week for 2 years and still did not burned out. But that all does not matter, what’s important is that you find what works for u and what makes you happy in the long run. If you reach your goal 2x times later than other it also does not matter as long u are happy at the end. Don’t compare yourself because it’s not fair to yourself. 😊🙌☀️
@@Janos.Artzone You're right. IMO, there are two things that are most important. One is to stop comparing yourself to others, another is to find the joy in drawing. Especially if you start drawing later in your life. Even those who think it's entirely a matter of talent that they don't have, are still able to draw(as long as they don't lack the use of their limbs or have mental disorders, which is a slightly bigger hurdle to overcome than a lack of talent). Even if it might not become the next Mona Lisa, they can still do it. And if they're dedicated enough, they can improve to a decent level where they can give at least an acceptable form to their imagination. After all, in my opinion, drawing or painting(or art in general) isn't about being the best. It's a spectrum. On one end, are kids who just picked up a pencil and started drawing symbols, on the other, are the top one percent who make it big in the industry. But even if you are sitting somewhere in the middle, you're still able to do it. And there will always be people who'd like your basic doodling(the world's a big place).
Now, if you're starting drawing in your nineties, and you wanna be the lead animator at Disney in a year or so, that's either unrealistic or your Alzheimer's making your forget your circumstances, but if you're dedicated, maybe you'll still be good enough to impress your grand kids before you die.
Now, that's not to say you should draw only to impress others. Just giving form to your imagination, or capturing a scene you saw with your own hands, it gives a feeling of accomplishment that no AI can replicate.
I really wanna give this plan a go... But i'll be doing it digital since im more comfortable with it but One thing i wanna ask you is when going through this 20 week plan how does one get over fear of failure/fear of failing? Im kinda stuck in a rut where i really want to draw and get better but when the things i draw dont turn out right it eats away at the motivation i have to draw and i end up walking away from drawing at that time. Any words of wisdom to a beginner on how to combat this?
Well you have to understand that every failure is something good. It is a opportunity to get better. If you get happiness to over mastering a skill that should be your target to fail as much as possible. Because we all fail. It is part of being human. To not fail just means comfort or stagnation. Creating art is neither. Focus on gratitude of learning and appreciate the time spending. You need to eliminate the standards that tell you what you should produce should be great anytime you produce. This is a impossible task. We are not machines 😊🙌🔥 so just enjoy it. Life and art is about contrast and balance. So in your case failure and progress. So you need failure 😊
@@Janos.Artzone thank you for this🙏🏼♥️

hello im ana amateur i can copy and sometime i create weird not accuracy shape adn.... i'm still face probleme with fundemental how to crearte timeline for progress cuz i have imagination but the lack of fundemental stop me from goood think my goal style is urban/inking/black and firstly/shadowing using line and cross hatching/ i finnd prblm creating schedule yo get goo dresult
Hi thank you for your message :) To overcome the challenges you're facing with fundamentals and progress, consider breaking down your learning into specific areas like anatomy, perspective and light/shadow studies. Create a weekly schedule allocating time for each fundamental aspect allowing you to gradually build a strong foundation. Don't hesitate to seek online tutorials or courses that align with your goals and remember that consistent practice and patience are key to improvement. You're on the right track, keep going!
What resources do you use for each of these sessions ?
You mean for references ?
I'm curious, as someone who is looking to do drawing as a hobby and stress relief, does 3 hours a day seem necessary to you? I was thinking maybe an hour at the high end of time, probably more like 30 minutes on most days.
Hey Taylor :) well I think if you do something as drawing for stress relief and hobby there is no real necessary in time. It only matters that you draw what you want to draw as long as you want it. When it comes to need of practice time I would always try to awnser first what is the goal behind that. Even if you say "I want to become better" there should be clarification why you want to become better. Hope this helps
@@Janos.Artzone Thanks for the response, I hope you have a wonderful day and keep making videos!

oooooooh he mentioned me... my prayers were answered
😂😂😂
I use a lot of photo references to guide my imagination. How can I get away from that?
Start simple, take a object that’s in front of you. Look at it, put it away and try to draw it from your mind. Increase slowly the difficulty. Reference are there to fill knowledge gaps not to copy them blindly 😊 hope this helps

The problem it is I don't know how to start my studies.
So you mean how to warm up and start ? Or what do you mean with start
What I mean by start is what kind of exercises I should do to improve my drawings. I am beginner. So where did you start?
