- 🥇 I made a masterplan to Draw Better than 99% of People.
If like me you can't draw without a reference, this training masterplan is designed to teach me how to draw from memory and from imagination. It is based on what Kim Jung Gi recommends in many of his lessons. If your goal is to draw like Kim Jung Gi then this masterplan will get you many steps closer. On top of drawing from memory and drawing from imagination, we need to get good at understanding 3D space and perspective using Drawabox lessons and exercises to get good at intuitive perspective.

Great video! I would add on and say this: There’s nothing wrong with using references, because our brain can’t hold every single detail within an object. Sometimes we need to use references to check if what we’re drawing is right. We shouldn’t rely on references to draw everything, but we should use references to aid our drawing. We can use multiple different references combined with our imagination to create something new. Like we know what an elephant, a horse, and a bird looks like separately, but we combine them. We can use the things we already know and other references to come up with something new. My main point is, don’t completely rely on references, but still use references to aid your drawing, and with the things you have already seen and other references, use your imagination/fantasy to come up with something new. Hope this helped 😃
Great point thanks!
i agree using reference is not a bad thing... but it depends if you use it to help fill in the details. or if you're reliant on it or dependent on it too much and limits you to where its a copy of the reference.
Also sometimes I have found I think I know what something looks like, but it doesn’t look right without a reference.
@@reaganlpeterson for sure. i think a good balance of exercising both parts of your brain is a good thing. it takes a while before you commit something to memory or close to. I think get a good blocking from memory and using reference after to fill in the gaps is a good balance
And also using actual, in the real world, observation exercises is great for the brain (shuts off L mode and activates R mode - re Betty Edwards). Draw a cup, a piece of fruit, a face, a box, the corner of the room - anything! But allow your creative mind to take control (much harder for some than it sounds!!). Interrogate the object with your eye/mind and allow your pen/pencil/brush to express what you see/experience. Look at the shapes of the space around the objects; do not name the objects name the angles, colour, shadow and light. By experiencing flow state while drawing irl objects/subjects your creative brain will gain understanding of how the 3D world behaves when it is trapped by you as an image in the 2D.
99% of people don't draw. So drawing is the secret.
I think i'm okay with that! 🙂
damn true
Love your dedication to studying KGJ's teaching moments. I recognized a ton of those drawings right away from his livestreams.
His drawings are addictive!
Nicolaides "Natural Way to Draw" has a lot of memory-related exercises - it's a big focus of his and I've gotten a lot out of warming up with it. One of my favorites is the right angle drawing: view a model and imagine it turned 90 degrees to the right, then draw it again actually turned to the right, to compare. It can be practiced with live objects, or any 3D model. Nicolaides says nothing about using corrective or abstract methods like measuring or drawing boxes, but it's a kind of antidote to doing too much of that and feeling like the only way to draw from imagination is to calculate everything like a computer.
Very similar to the mini-me exercise! Thanks for sharing Nicolaides, i'll look him up 🙌
Praises to Christ, who has redeemed the world, and in his great mercy and love only requires from us these simple things to have everlasting life, to repent, and turn from sins and sin no more, to live righteously for Christ, love others as yourself, and Believe he is the one true God, continue in this way and you will conquer all fears and sins which plague you, and inherit eternal life with our King.
This video is so well made when I looked down at the number 860 next to your name I thought you had 860k subscribers. It was such a surprise to see such a well made video posted by someone with under 1k subs. Keep up the amazing work and you’ll be up to 1 million subscribers in no time.
I feel humbled by your comment. Thanks you! Hope to see you in the next vids!
I thought this was a vid by a big art channel with lots of subscribers until I read this exact comment too
@@beepboopbaap2511 🙂 Honestly, it's great to be able to see and reply to every comment !
All creative videos should be like yours, 6 minutes max, straight to the point with a little bit of humor, no bullshit, just facts. Great job, new subscriber here!
Thanks so much and welcome onboard! On the 6minutes note, it's a sweetspot for me in terms of creative process, but I discovered that larger channels try to lengthen their videos above 8 minutes because it allows to add mid-roll advertisements, so it's a relatively easy way to sustain themselves as creators. I cannot blame them! But if in the future you see me doing it too, i'll do my best to lengthen my videos by adding more value, not by watering it down.
The video is well made
I very rarely draw with reference material. I haven't really done so in years and years, not since I first taught myself art. Occasionally, if I'm looking for a particular pose or some level of detail or inspiration, but for the most part I work hard to exercise my own mind and base my decisions off of my own knowledge rather than how someone else does something. Not just memory, but learned, concrete information and hard data.
I was reading comics and manga for decades before I took up art. Same with reading fiction before I took up writing. _All_ of that accumulated experience amounted to me understanding my style and recognizing that I could learn how to learn, and by knowing that I could learn, I knew that I could learn how to draw - and draw well, because I have high standards for my own quality. Knowing how to draw means knowing yourself.
Learning how to learn is the real superpower
i dont often comment on videos i watch, but i just want to leave this comment here to say that you are a fantastic artist man, and i am so surprised that you arent as noticed. the quality of this video for your size is insane man. keep going dude! i hope you get big one day.
I spent many years only watching without ever commenting, and my first comment was worded very similarly to this one. So a heartfelt thank you, because i know what you felt when writing this and i couldn't be more honored to have been the trigger 🙌🙌
Welcome onboard!
I like the idea of drawing something from a different point of view, because it ensures that you know exactly what it is that you are creating.
Spot on
you are genuinely the most underrated art youtubers on this platform
That means so much to me, thank you!
This makes perfect sense idk why i never thought of it this way, its just like training your muscles to perform a movement in a different way.
It is exactly the same yes! There's actually a lot of parallelisms between art and fitness / sports
Dude, your video structure and quality are amazing!! I'm just as impressed at your visual storytelling as I am at your artistic ability!
I bet it was a ton of work but damn it was 100% worth it, great job! Subscribed
Thanks man! It was thanks to my minime. I heard somewhere that creating an alter ego for yourself is a powerful tool that successful celebrities used to get to the top of their craft. ;-) keep up the great work on your side too!
Thank you so much for this video! It was incredibly helpful and clear. Your effort in creating content like this is greatly appreciated. Keep up the fantastic work!
I'll do my best! hope to see your comments again in the future :)
WOW THIS WAS INCREDIBLE! I love to see people who love and study Kim Jung Gi as much as I do! KJG literally saved my art journey. Thanks for the awesome video! U earned my subscripiton!
Really glad to have you onboard! I'll do my best not to disappoint 😉
Editing and transitions were really well done! Great video, can’t wait to see more from you.
Thank you! Glad to have you onboard, i'll do my best!
I really needed something like this!!! I got a huge feeling that you'll only get more popular as time goes on.
I hope you'll stick around through the journey :-)
dawg only 800-some subs? you need more! great video, great production, excellent tips, and excellent art! thank you!
Glad that you're in early!
probably one of the best videos on learning how to draw. good job.
Thanks a lot, i hope you'll enjoy the next one i have in the works :)
wow that was a really great video ! ive been stuck at a drawing plateau and i couldn't put it into words but this video was exactly what I needed !!
Awesome, hope you'll break the plateau!
This is so much simpler of a plan than some artists recommend. I've heard wayyy too complex schedules that require many hours a day for art improvement. This is so much easier. Thx!
Yes! the difficulty is in keeping it up over time
Great video man! Good vibes and good advice. I like that you set out a realistic plan that will work with people’s lives. Just subbed for future content!
Glad to have you onboard. I will work on more videos focussing on realistic tips, thanks!
Great advice! I wish you the best in the times to come! Thanks for the tips. ❤
Thank you! I hope you'll stick around and be part of the journey 🙂
Thank you so much! I was just thinking about how can I improve my drawing skills in a fast way and BAM! you appeared with this and it's amazing, really helpful and interesting tips and great video, loved the creativity you put on it !
Glad it helped! 🙂
clean, simple and direct instructions. thanks
More to come!
Thank you for the knowledge! Great video!
More to come!
You know advertising hit hard when you click on a video that said ‘how to draw better than 99% of people’ and then a simply draw ad came up
I didn't know of simply draw actually, had to look it up. Seems like a cool app though
i don't know why you don't have more subscribers with such a high quality video!
Means i still have time to read and respond to all the comments! It will actually be sad when that's no longer the case, your comment made my day!
This is an awesome video, I really appreciate you putting this out there
Hope you'll enjoy the next one too!
First time here... Even when I knew all the content in the video, I really enjoyed how it was presented, fun and clear, also I really feel encourage to get back to investing time into get better. I'll check your channel... Good job
I'm glad you've landed in my little corner of the web. I'll keep building it and i hope you'll enjoy watching it develop. Good luck!
Heres a tip.. smoke a big spliff before you start drawing
This
Lmao. But for real... Why does it help?
Perfect, thank you, I've never thought that way and totally makes sense!
🙏 glad it's being helpful
Very informative video! Nicely edited and explained.
Thank you! Means a lot
YOOOOO. TY for this inspiring video. I will follow you, and practice, after moth or 2, will check the results. Wish me luck! Thanks again!
Best of luck! I look forward to see you in the comments in 2 months 😎
This was a lot more helpful than I’d anticipated. Thanks!
Glad it was helpful! I hope you'll find the next one useful too :)
Insane. Incredible. Awesome. Hell yeah. Just subbed, thanks.
Welcome onboard!!!
One of the best art related videos i watched here on youtube take my sub bro :)
I'll try to keep the bar high! Hope to see you in the next one
Wow, great video. The music, the editing, the presentation. Just wow. It's like I found a diamond
This is the fuel that makes it possible!
Incredible video! cant wait for more 😊
I'll keep them coming! Glad to have you onboard
Thanks mate!! Due to being the sole son of a third world family, never got the chance to pursue the dream of art went to an engineering college instead.
Going back to pursue my unfulfilled dream of drawing and painting.
Helps a lot, may you do well in life
I hope you'll find a way at some point. I myself am an engineer and have only been able to pick drawing back up in my thirties - Glad it helped!
Truly appreciate your videos and efforts, more especially this educational one. Please do provide more educational videos in the future 🙏🏾
Usually educational videos are simple talking heads with little visual storytelling. I was unsure if it would work for me to be more educational given my filming style, so i'm really glad for your feedback!
@@massa_art this video was perfect. You nailed it and helped me a ton with the draw a box website. My boxes are okay-ish but already I’ve gotten a ton of value from this and I’m sure a lot more people will too. This video had a magic to it in my personal opinion
🙏🙏🙏
Awesome video, thanks for posting
Thank you for taking the time of giving me a good day :)
Just got recommended this video. Looking at the quality of both the information and videography, I thought you were already a famous artist. A few months ago I came across an aquascaper (tanks for nothing) and that new account skyrocketed. I hope you'll get the same, this content is great. Thanks!
Maybe UA-cam is pushing new creators to your feed to test if they should go viral. But regardless, thank you!
Amazing! Keep it up homie.
Thank you! Hope you'll like the next one too
This video was fantastic! Informational, funny, and concise!
🙏😊
Love this fresh approach!
🙏🙂
Sounds really interesting!!! Thanks for sharing im gonna try ^_^
Hope it will prove helpful!
This was fantastic, thank you!!
So glad you liked it! Next one coming out in a week :-)
I love this guy and he needs to get popular NOW
Loved to read this, thanks!
Usually when people title videos like this (not just for art related videos but anything from car projects to gamers) it never really earns it, kind of like underperforming. This video, however, definitely earned that title. I used to draw as a kid, and at 28 I'm just now deciding I wanna get back into art. Over the past couple weeks, been doing everything from paper to blender to actually buying a new tablet just so I can try drawing digitally. I've just started to get unmotivated recently, and I think it's bc I haven't been able to create anything that impressed me, like I think everything I draw is terrible and I know I can do way better. This video gave me a completely different outlook on how to go about practicing. I could elaborate further but I'm just grateful I came across this when I did. Thanks much
I can feel you. I abandoned drawing for 15 years, but after some initial struggle to pick it back up i can say thay it's so worth it to reconnect with your childhood hobbies. Thanks for the nice feedback 🙂 i hope you'll enjoy the next ones!
just commenting to boost this video in the algorithm you should to this video needs to be seen by everyone.
Top Player! thanks for taking the time :-)
*Sees Drawabox* *has circle ptsd flashbacks*😂🙏 I love this video, thanks so much. Also love the splashes of humour! Immediate sub
Drawabox rehab should be a thing
Hey first time I’ve watched you and yes I’ve subscribed. Thanks for your tips. ❤
Welcome onboard 😊
Your first tip i learned from Peter Han a while ago and it felt like magic-drawing literally anything of your choice through reference and then attempting to turn it in space.
I need to explore Peter Han because he has been named to me several times already! Let me know if you have specific recommendations
Really interesting video man! Subscribed!
Welcome onboard! I hope you'll enjoy the next one too :-)
Amazing video man, well done
Double thanks!! 🙏
very informative, funny and cool video, thank you very much was inspirational - and Mario's voice was so funny :)
Haha took me a lot of takes for that 😁 glad you liked it!
Liked and subbed. Great info for all levels! 🍻🍻
Means a lot to me, welcome onboard!!
@@massa_art thank you! 🙏
clicked this vid was like "this is dope I wanna subscribe to this guy", scrooled down saw that I was already subscribed hahahaha. Great vids
That's what i want to hear! I'm glad you liked it, i'll keep them coming ☺️
Love this video!! it's AMAZING
Thanks! Glad you liked it!
Great educational video and the edits are on point my brother Great Job
Glad it worked out! Hope you'll enjoy the latest one too!
I like the ideas and strategies in this video. Really fantastic!
🙏 thanks and HNY! I'll keep them coming in 2024 :)
Small for now, awesome content, you're gonna grow fast!
Glad you're in early 😊
Thank you for not making step 1 "signing up for my course", i know that took constraint
But subscribe to my free newsletter on why you need to buy a course
You managed to get my attention just when I was bored with too many videos and after a mediocre dinner, so in my opinion in terms of communication this video passed the hardest test for a youtuber : dopamine drop! 😂
High praise thank you! And welcome onboard :-)
Grandissimo , il più forte 🎉!
🙏🙂
Thank you for the wonderful video!
thank You for the wonderful comment 😊
Mi ha divertito un sacco questo video! Very well done!
Grazie! Spero ti piacciano i prossimi :-)
Great video. I've been wishing to draw for many years, but never did it the right way and made no progress. As a solo game developer this is a must have skill, even though you make 3d models in blender or something. I just subscribed, hoping you are the one who finally teaches me how to draw! :D
And you'll have a very well developed understanding of 3D space by spending a lot of time in blender so i bet you'll be quite good since the start!
Thank you! :D@@massa_art
i feel like ive grown stagnant, even though im a full time self employed artist. Thanks for the video. I finally got time to take off a month. So Im looking for ways to improve and practice daily again.
Glad you find my video in the right timing! Welcome onboard
This video is one of the few videos I can definitively say changed my life.
I'm soo happy it had a positive impact! Stay motivated!
Not sure why the algorithm fed me this vid, but its great and i love the advice. Commenting to help your algorithm lol
And for that I thank you 🙏
Sweet, effective and to the point!
Glad you liked it!
really like the video. Thanks for the suggestions :)
I hope you'll enjoy the next ones as well!!
i think you should focus a little more on other basics. understanding 3d space and perspective IS very important, yes. but there are many more things you should practice before trying to make detailed and complex drawings like gi did. i am personally studying human anatomy right now, first the skeleton, which i am almost done with. i know all the bones, their names and their locations, except for the skull (i'll start with that today). i can feel a sizable impact on my art and understanding of humans and their proportions and anatomy already, eventhough i haven't even started with the muscles yet. this is HUGE game changer for me personally, and i'd recommend you to try the same thing. i know the basics of perspective, how to use points and how to kinda use it intuitively, but i am not focusing on it yet, as i want to get better at drawing people first. learning the anatomy is really helping me a lot in understanding the proportions and why you simplify people as boxes the way you do. this knowledge will come in handy later, when i focus more in depth on perspective. i also recommend studying the details you wanna draw and understanding their purpose and design and intent. i am not at all trying to make you approach drawing the same way i am tho, just sharing my experience so it might help you. the most important thing is staying consistant and focusing at one thing at a time anyway, slowly building up the advanced knowledge over time, as each bit of knowledge relies on other bits of knowledge. i wish you the best of luck on your art journey!
Sounds like a solid plan! You'll get good, keep it up!
Ciao Massa Grazie Mille for this video!
Grazie a te for watching!
Salve! Da persona che parla italiano, devo dire che non ho immediatamente afferrato le sue origini. Parla l'inglese molto bene, per non parlare dei disegni! La ringrazio per i consigli, e le auguro buona fortuna con la oramai assicurata crescita del canale.
Grazie mille!!
i’ve been studying kim jung gi for years, he had the best teachings and principles, just wish his class courses were in english
Same, would love to grasp more nuance of what he says, often the English translation is a bit weak
shouldve watched this earlier, just had it on my watch list for a couple of days
that was entertaining and informative
I also agree that it's very important to be drawing everyday rather than just drawing for a long time
It's very important to be consistent. It might take a toll on newer artists tho, so I think a good way to go by it is by drawing every other day, until someone is passionate or confident enough to be able to draw everyday. Then move on to drawing 2 hours everyday, then 3 hours.
In my experience it feels like if I stop drawing, I slowly lose on the progress that I've built up, and my skill level lowers. Going back to that same skill level does take less time tho, but if you weren't able to progress enough to get very far in the first place, it's like going back to square one completely. I combatted this by getting myself to draw everyday. Now I'm proficient enough at the style I like, so it's a lot less stressful, and if I do miss out on drawing on a day, I go to pinterest, find a reference I like and draw it out really quickly. That's how I retain my skill level (key word: retain, not necessarily improving or learning anything new)
Yes there some kind of equivalent to muscle memory I found. It had been over 10 years without drawing for me before I picked it back up this year.
your videos are really nice!
Thank you so much! I hope you'll like the next one too!
That’s a really cool way of learning!
Glad you liked it!
Amazing.
🤜💥🤛
Good video, i like. I shall attempt to follow its wisdom. Be back in a year
That's the spirit!
great video, thank you

This is such a well made video.
Thanks! Hope you'll like the next one too!
Great advice! Thanks
Glad it was helpful 🙂
Figo sto video, complimenti
Grazie!
Amazing
Cheers!
I never drew anything in my life but i've seen the whole video. Nice.
Was it the drawings or was it the storytelling that made you stay?
@@massa_art a combination of the two, great work, I mean it.
@@frato21 Thanks a Lot! I hope you'll stick around for the next ones :)
@@massa_art will do!
Great vieo thanks
Thanks for watching!
Great video!

Im gonna learning drawing again and i hope its gonna help me
Thx
I hope it does!
Inspiring stuff.
Thanks! Hope you'll enjoy the next one too
Drawing people or animals from life that don’t realise they are being drawn is a good way to practice your memory; You can’t look for longer than a casual glance at a time otherwise they will notice you looking at them and make them uncomfortable and because they aren’t holding a pose for you they will constantly move or get up and leave at any moment, so you have to get good at keeping a mental image of the pose you had in mind when you started.
It also helps to practice the ability to rotate and transform shapes mentally because even if they are in a completely different position you can still gain insight into how they would look from the desired angle; this is pretty much the only way to draw animals from life that aren’t asleep with any amount of detail.
-If someone notices you looking at them explain to them what you were doing and show them the sketch; in my experience this completely defused the situation every time and I don’t recall ever getting anything but a delighted reaction from the subject of the drawing.
Thanks for sharing! Good tips
lmfao this editing so good lol
Thank you! Trying to get better with each video
Drawabox per me è stato utilissimo per capire come gestire i volumi su una superficie piatta! E il tuo stile di narrazione e montaggio video mi ricorda un po' Mike Shake
Gran complimento! Mike Shake é bravissimo!
@@massa_art ah ecco quindi lo conosci! Sì, era inteso come un complimento, ma d'altra parte ci sono già un sacco di altri commenti che lodano il tuo modo di montare i video quindi immagino che tu sia già cosciente delle tue capacità video-tecniche
Alright, fuck it, I have no excuses now. Great video!
That's the spirit!
Got yourself a new sub!
Welcome onboard!
You deserve more subs
Thank you so much. I'm already blown away by 6k though!
Just found/subbed to your channel. The world famous artist Drew Struzan uses photographs of himself in costume (Indiana Jones for eg) as reference. For me references are a jumping off point to create art in your own style.
Thabks for recommending Drew Struzan, i'll look him up!
this was very fun lol !
Glad you liked it!
