    Beware, posting your art when you're a beginner can be terrible. When I posted on Paigee world, people told me that my art was mediocre and that I shouldn't enter into contests, etc. I lost 99% of my love for drawing. Later it did motivate me to get better, but it wasn't due to any nice encouragement. I'd say ask your friends or find a TRUSTED community to find criticism, and then post.

    I can’t draw without a photo, I just need a reference. And I have no inspiration without a picture. I want to practice a lot but I don’t have much time because I am 15 and still in school. Does someone has any tips?

    • @MahouShoujoKaffeein
      @MahouShoujoKaffeein 6 років тому +35

      Joelle Joelle maybe if you try art books? Some of them teaches how to draw certain things like body parts, animals and clothes. It could help you learn how to start from a basic shape and put details on it until it takes shapes and when you will be used to it you should be fine :)

    • @avagessner1984
      @avagessner1984 6 років тому +42

      try searching up art prompts, or even find a noun generator and just drawing whatever comes up, or finding art challenges. That way the "inspiration" part is done for you, at least until you get to the point where you're coming up with things yourself. Also you should get a small sketchbook to bring to school with you and sketch whenever you have free time in class (idk if you have that often, for me I never have time on B days but most of my A day classes are pretty chill), that's when I draw the most. Honestly just sketch whenever you can during the day and maybe set a goal to draw a full piece every saturday or sunday or something like that. hope I can help!

      Ava Gessner go to your local library and explore their art section. They have a beginner’s guide to almost everything. Go to the reference librarian and tell them you want to learn how to draw. They will show you the section you need. Thank Also, draw for fun whenever you can! Try to always carry a sketchbook and a pencil bag with what you need.

      Sometimes when your blocked all you need to do is look at any object in front of you and start drawing . alot of artist talk abou it (havnt tried it in a while ) but all the youtube artist iv wached say that "it helps expand you visual library "?? and you can learn better the form of things from it too . From any time i did do stuff like that i learned it helps alot in creating new ideas and learning simple things i didnt know of

I've made so many friends that way by getting more involved Plus it's always nice to recieve/give comments! Also the art community is so supportive and nice its good to be part of it!;0;
    I remember I used to be strictly a marker person and I used to hatred watercolor, but I tried it recently and I fell in love with it! Its all I use now Haha.

I’ve also been wanting to try painting for a while and my art teacher at school offers painting and I’m hoping to get in that class next year! I’ve been drawing for as long as I can remember but taking it seriously would have to be at least 3 or 4 years now and I’ve noticed I’ve improved in my style and what I draw drastically for the better by self teaching myself from UA-cam videos and Christopher Hart books and of course my art teacher

    The tips in the video were great and I agree 100% with most of what you said. I just wanted to ad this as another opinion about the social media thing you mentioned. I started early and switched through quite a few art social media and even though I made some great friends I feel like posting my art stunted my growth. My friends have always supported me but we were on either similar levels or used completely different tool so it was difficult to give constructive criticism. And other people either gave me empty praise or told me my art sucked and that I would never be an artist. All the people's opinion got to my head and i also felt an obligation to put all I drew online which just made me feel worse. When i started posting less often and eventually quit I saw immense improvement. It was drawing for myself that made me improve. I do not mean to diminish anyone else's experience, this is just mine.

    Rolling your kneedable erasers over your drawing is a fantastic tip! I know one thing I accidentally do half the time is make my guidelines a bit too heavy and dark so this was a nice tip. And I think exploring different mediums is another fantastic tip, I know I would have never in a million years thought about doing charcoal. The thought of it just getting everywhere was not my thing lol but really the soft smokey look you can get from it are beautiful. I really like these kind of videos too where it's like a super chill chat and speed paint.

    You are young and look at the great work you are producing. I wish my younger self, was your younger self. Art can be a difficult road but tech has made it much more viable. Your work is inspiring. KEEP GOING!!

    So informative and inspiring thank you. Glad you use less copic markers...all those plastics pollute, and watercolour is so much better in the long run. Loved the tip on erasers too.

    I should definitely do more drawing from life, and now I'm inspired to try watercolor too. I've just been sketching with a regular pencil and haven't bothered with colors at all, but experimenting with colors might make it a little more interesting

    I was watching another video about things I wished I knew before drawing, and I got bored really quickly. But with you I just stayed and listened and really liked it

    Good video. One suggestion that came from my premier art college instructor: Move your pallet to the same side as the hand you are using. :D

    8:20 This is a very good advice haha! I'm more of a graphite artist but since 2017 (I think), I've been more and more willing to explore other media of art, including those with brush and paint. While it didn't change my love of graphite, it certainly helped to improve my technique and it opened my mind to try new things with graphite (graphite powder for instance or blending with different type of brushes to create misty effects). It sounds like a chore, but it's just so fun to test your skills against something new! I rediscovered the joy of painting (no pun intended) this way and discovered watercolor along the way.
    The only thing I'd add is to try different kinds of art and not stick to that one thing. Just like you said to draw life and objects, I think that exploring realism if you're really into cartoons (or cartoons if you're into realism!) can only make you grow as an artist. Just an extra tip because I, too, would have liked to know that when I started (long, long ago).
