Words can't describe how many artists need to hear this
Idk I like plenty of cartoons better than the Mona Lisa 😭🤣🤣🤣🤣 lol as funny as that is, that's just my personal taste in what makes my brain happy
I recently levelled up from level 0 to level 1. Progress, yay!
Congrats! Keep going
Yes! You did it! Keep going, you'll do great! :D
You should post some when you feel comf ;w;
Congratulations!!

baked potonion was placed at a level two but if you check out their work now its super clean and nice, easily way higher
Woah. 5 years ago I saw this video and tried to place myself in one of these sections, and I found myself at a one. I was around 11 years old. Now it’s 11 at night, I’m 16, and I’m so proud of myself to say that I’ve improved - even in the slightest way. I’m at a level four or five now, and I’m trying to push myself even further! Super cool to see how far I’ve come, this is more of a self indulgent post but damn is this awesome
So proud of you man keep going!
@@kinda_sane thanks so much Siya! You’re very kind :)
@@equally.marketable ofcc. I myself have been struggling but I’m really trna push myself. We’re in this together, the art community here

I'm 13 and I'd say I'm about level 4! Super proud of myself:)

3:12 It’s my art! And it’s kinda cool coming back to this video years later.
I remember sending that drawing during my time in junior high, and I was super excited for the video to come out at the time! Of course, I was a little disheartened when I first heard my level, but eventually I started trying to work through some of my proportional issues!
I’d say I’m now level 3 and 4 nowadays, but I hope to still improve 😄
Nah your a good 4 or 5 imo by just looking at the stuff on your channel. Your an amazing artist keep up the good work! 💕
Wow! What a coincidence to find you here, and I'm proudly say you're on level 4 to def a 5 now! Your works are really amazing
About half of these views are from me over the years seeing how much I’ve improved and what I need to work on. I remember being here when I was about 8 or 9
Same bruv

Agreed! Problems with videos like this are people joking but she genuinely critiques very respectfully!
yeah she did get on this video especially on the intro😊
Yeah!
Le Derp Draws :D there's also At ala Carte, River Spirit, Up in the Attic, all good channels. Ooh, and me and my friend, FnafLoneSolf, we draw too. We aren't very good, but we're getting better
Le Derp Draws Baylee doesn't make fun of other artists...😕🤔
That moment when you realize a lot of level 1 drawings are better than your own, and you've been trying to draw for over 10 years.
*quietly sobs*
If it's anatomy/poses you're struggling with, try drawing athletes (baseball is my favourite to use) or dancers. It's helped me at least.
It took me about 30 Years of training, to learn how to draw. keep working.
Yeah. That's what makes this video false.
Nikku4211 no it is just very simplified
Alrik Scyriel That's not the case because an art experience where you've been drawing for years yet it still looks like a drawing from a 4 year old actually disproves what the person in the video is saying. That's not simplified. Simplified is if you're addressing everything that is important. Pretending some people don't exist isn't simplification, it's not knowing or ignoring.
This video has been on my "watch later" list for 4 years.
Today I finally watched it.
Good to know I'm between levels 4 and 5.
Love your content
When I first watched this in 2016 I was definitely a 1. I remember being insanely impressed by the higher levels. Now I think I’m somewhere between 4 and 5 :’)
I say this because even though I don’t think my art is on the technical level of five, I do think that stylistically would sell? Like I think my art is good enough and my art style is good/unique enough that people would buy art, but it’s not perfect execution, and while the technique is pretty OK, I have issues especially with proportion, hands, and lighting. However I don’t think that these are bad enough things/that I am bad enough at these days that it would stop people from finding my appealing
the gaps inside lvl 5 and 6 r so huge tbh when i first watched i was at 5 and now at 6 but the first piece from 6 is like lvl 12 im not getting to it ever lol
I love coming back to this every few years and seeing what level I am.
haha thats what ive been doing too
hey can someone help an artist out? i have no clue what level i am. my art Instagram is @wqfflesyrup, can someone help me? thank you 💘💕
@@wqfflesyrup8740 lvl 4 your eyes I am sure are intended to be large but they seem like they are abit outside the face and your necks are too thin and long work on it particularly that's really dragging everything down hiding it wouldn't help in the long term. good luck

I draw sausage fingers if it isn't bloated looking or too unnatural I roll with it
And this is why every other piece of art is a wolf or pony
I agree ;-;
Honestly, I don´t really agree with the ratings of the drawings cause some deserved to be in higher levels, but I agree with saying what problems you could be facing that level.
I just don't like art levels. It feels like putting your art in a box, rather than accepting that art is a journey.
Exactly
same. absolutely no disrespect to the creator (especially considering how old this video is) but every time i come back here i have more and more issues with it
Yeah i agree, i kept seeing pieces in level 2-3 that would have fit in the level 1 category. I think it maybe was an editing error hopefully, considering that there were so many entries a few just slipped through the cracks
It's been years since I first watched this video, my art was at a level 3-4. I remember looking at the level 6 artworks and dreaming of being able to create something of that caliber. Well, it turns out,
dreams do come true.
I know you posted this ages ago lol but can I see? That's incredible!
@@user-tc8mn1qk3e Haha sure! Where could I send it to you?
@@kash.71 anything
tbh i feel like there r huge gaps between lvl 6 artists im probably on lvl 6 myself but the first piece in lvl 6 looks like some lvl 12
@@hlebzon first peice is fully rendered, depends on style tbh and also the others are more simplistic but you can see how they were drawn with ease and don't have any anatomical flaws etc. color choice and lighting are also very intentional. you can tell when someone knows anatomy and willingly bends it with those principles in mind vs makes mistakes which might happen when you're less aquainted w/ it

That moment when your drawing is a 4-5 but your coloring is 1 ;-;
Mine is a 0
I've never related to something more.
Me doing a regular pen drawing: I am the true master.
Me, colouring it: goo goo ga ga *smears paint on the floor*
Throckmorton i used to be this way, and i know it sounds scary but do not let your brain tell you “i don’t wanna mess up this piece”. YES i get SO MUCH anxiety whenever starting to color a really well drawn piece but YA JUST GOTTA DO IT!!
When your coloring is 4-5 but your drawing is is 1.
Wow exactly how I feel. I was about to comment the same
So I'm 15 and I've recently been through a phase of not drawing anything for weeks because everything I did looked awful and I was too scare to try to draw something and have to face it's not as good as I wish it was
But then I got over it and got more confident as I changed somethings I was used to do in my drawings.
I was confused at first at why and how that happened but after watching this I think I was going from level 2 to 3 :D
Guess I'll join y'all and come back here in a few years to see how far I've come lol
I don't actually really like drawing all that much but I really want to
I dont draw as much as I used to, for no reason
I remember when I first found this, I was like level two. Now, (probably 2-3 years later but maybe more cuz my memory sucks) I’m at level three! I’m so proud of where I started and how far I’ve come and also just remembering how much I loved this person’s channel when I was in my Warrior Cats phase. No regrets, and I can’t wait to see in another 2-3 years where I am again!
me thinking my art is good
this video:
*level 1*
Me thinking my art is improving.
After seeing level 3 on this video: Level 0 would be the quickest improvement.
Just because it’s level 1 doesn’t mean it’s bad TwT
Me, thinking im level 2: *sees i’m level 4*
*screams*
i think i'm level 1 just because of the software i use (paint)

ItzSuperEmily _ I think I’m level 5...
😂 LITERALLY ME 🤦♀️ I've been drawing for 8 years or more and I'm a level two or MaYbE level 3...
A little tip for level two sketches! Pressing down you pencil can indeed help with bringing up the contrast of your work. However, it can also create a glossy, reflective quality in your drawing. I'd recommend getting some 6B or 8B pencils to color in darker areas, and rather than press harder you can try going over the same area multiple times (This covers the paper while adding minimal amounts of reflection)
is sketch here meaning it is done but looks like sketch OR does it mean it is meant to be erased and replaced by the actual thing?
I assume the 2nd meaning
I press lightly because i need to erase, if i press harder i cannot
@@aykarainthey were referring to finished grayscale drawings where people press their pencil down harder to make it appear like a darker color
@@nicodawisp oh... so it was 1
My motivation when I saw level 6 : *Adios*
My hypercritical self : *bonjour*
Don't feel discouraged = ( there will always be people better than you. I am sure level 6 artists feel like they can never get close to the level of the European Renaissance greats.
Notice how the number of My Little Pony art drastically decreases the higher the level is.

No the other eye 😥
I love how the video isn't belittling newer artists instead telling them how they can improve
Also I love how two years ago i thought i was level 4 but indeed was nowhere near it
Right about nowdays I probably am
The tip that helped me the most over the years was flipping ur drawing. As soon as i stared doing it my art became a lot better
Hey random artists! Just a tip on eyes:
-When drawing eyes, don't draw one eye, then the other. Instead, draw both eyes simultaneously by working on a certain part of the eye on one side, then do it on the other side copying the first.
Hope this helps
As a newbie, thank you for the advice! It does help a bit.
As a not-newbie, thanks for the advice as well😇😊.
I always need a reminder to do that👍
Thanks, i am new to drawing faces.
how?
I just tried to use this and it worked thank you it’s really good
I rewatch this every year to see if i leveled up lol.
Same
Yeah.
Compared to a few months ago, I leveled up from 2 to 3
@@catsinwonderland7473 thats me too :) I've been here since 8th grade when my art was level 1 and now its level 3 as a sophmore!
Same! I was level 1 when this video was posted and now I think it’s safe to say that I’ve progressed up to level 6. Very proud of my improvement over the years but there’s definitely more I can keep improving on.
I remember looking at this in 2016, back then I was at level 1, I remember being so unconfident about my art to the point I almost gave up, but I never did and kept going, as of today I could say I’m level 4-5, it took me 4 years to get here, but thanks to this video I got more confidence in my art!
So to any artist that’s at level 1 or 2, please, do not give up! You will make it far if you draw and practice!
Wtf you are a speedrunner XD, nice job
I like how multiple types of art were in each category so you see examples of level one pencil sketch and colored digital compare to level five pencil sketch and digital.
Me, drawing:
I fear no man
But that thing
*making both sides symmetrical*
it scares me
Ellen Sacco HOW DO WE DO THIS
*_Digital artist laugh in symmetry tool_*
@@jfduug4994
It actually depends if you are drawing a living or inanimate thing
Like if it is a humans or animals you don't have to make it symmetrical
But if it's something inanimate like a building or a box try to keep sketching inanimate objects around your house and eventually you'll get enough muscle memory to draw symmetrical without thinking
@@jfduug4994
Sorry for my horrible grammar cause English isn't my first language
Quick trick: when drawing digitally, draw the character straight on (if going completely symmetrical) like you would normally. Make a layer above that, and make a black box that covers half of the character. move the box left and right to see which side you prefer. Then slide the box over which side you *don't* like, select the box, delete the box layer, and then erase (or cut) the line art within your selection.
Then select the other half (the side you liked), duplicate it, (copy and paste) flip it horozontally, move it to where it needs to be...then merge them together.
bam. Perfect Symmetry. (some programs have a symmetry function in them, and if yours do, then for the love of god use that.)
However, in every other angle, (that isn't "head on" or "facing the audience") perfect symmetry is useless and can make it feel unnatural. if drawing human figures, learn how perspective affects the various body parts, and use "arcs" (or half circles) to keep your limbs proportional, even when in a pose or in perspective. Facial features also line up on arcs rather than pure symmetry, which helps you a lot more when tilting the head in *any* direction.
My traditional art: Overpowered
My digital art: Level 0.1

if it ain’t me-
I suck at art in general because my art style isn’t cute enough for me
I’m looking for nicer, cuter, more chibi-like drawing or a more dynamic and simple-like style that acts more cartoon but rigid art drawings
I remember first watching this back in 2017-2018 being only a level 1 or maybe 2. After over 4 years of improvement, I think I can confidently say that I am a level 4 traditional anime-style artist ( possibly a level 5 on a good day ). Thank you for this video it has really helped me improve and figure out what I need to work on next.
So I was around 13-14 when I first watched this video and I can clearly see that my art has improved greatly and I have definitely leveled up!
I’m now 18 and a digital art mayor and actually making some spare money on my art! So thank you for this amazing video! :3

-The other eye
-Inspiration
-Drawing the lineart in the sketch layer

My worst fear is failing and then losing every drop of confidence and not draw for a month
my fear is drawing on the wrong layer
2019 (age 11): Level 1 (1.5 or 2 for animals)
2020 (age 12): Level 2
2021 (age 13): Level 3
2022 (age 14): Level 3.5
I draw almost everyday and am constantly looking to improve my art, so hopefully I can get to level 4 by the end of the year. 2022 has by far been the most difficult art year for me, as I hate all my art, but looking back at how fast I have improved I feel a lot more motivated to keep going
Drawing is weird. When you just make a drawing you think you're like a level 5 but then a few years later you look back and realize it looked TERRIBLE.
Ultranoahroblox - Roblox & AJ Videos! I agree XD now I want to throw them away but my parents think that they’re *MAJESTIC*

i think you should focus on the simplest anatomy before anything else (personnally i still aint got this right), THEN focus on the lighting, then on the coloring. 3 years ago i was trying real hard to improve my level 1 art to LITERALLY ANY LEVEL, i never tried coloring before this year and after watching my dozens of anime and disney movies, i got coloring right ! i also got shading right ! and creativity radiates from me like for real:) so really u just need to focus on one thing at a time ! and choose a style thats really easy for you ! try to make line arts w no color to improve anatomy, make it all with references! try drawing a simple curtain or a skirt with its shades and lights to practice where you place ur lights ! for COLORING man idk how i got it right, try using coloring pencils to get back to the base of coloring ! and shading doesn't always have to be gray w colors! thats the only advice i can give u ! im not a professional AT ALL but my art isn't trash and you're definitely not a professional but your art isn't level 1 ! dont give up boo ! keep drawing !
@@Nailanos That's sound really inspiring!!!! I'll try
@@blluryface3725 gracias ! i hope it works for you !
I remember seeing this when it first came out, when I was about 11. I even submitted a few of my first ever digital pieces to a ranking stream where I think I was evaluated as a level 2. Now I solidly believe my work is at least a 4 bordering on 5 after years of continual practice, and it's surreal. It's genuinely so heartwarming and I sometimes imagine showing my younger self some of my newer pieces and imagining her absolute shock as she tries to comprehend that she grows up to be the person that drew that.
Watching really great artists do speed-draw videos is a great learning tool. Seeing a blank paper turn into a jumble of lines, a sketch figure, then a wire-frame body, then seeing it being fleshed out and clothing added, then colored, shaded, and tweaked until it's a finished masterpiece- it's just a mind blowing high speed education. For a lower level artist, you can immediately see where you can improve or what steps you've been skipping or glossing over. So many learning artists tend to do the finished outline first and then try to fill in the hole. An experienced artist does it the other way around, and it takes seeing it to really get it.
I fear no man, but that THING...

“You can’t improve suddenly.”
*Me making a breakthrough in the overall design of a body part in my character*
“Hold my beer.”
lol same i do this too
Even that was because you practiced, studied anatomy or used a reference! They mean that you can’t do it immediately and not do any of these haha. Also this comment is old and I understand that.

@@forrestseven8355 I figured out how to draw legs like three months ago when I was drawing on my bathtub (dont ask) and I was like "Oh, what if I use this shape for the legs... :0" and now I can draw legs. I didn't really use references and I don't think I've ever studied anatomy other than the standard anatomy everyone knows lmao
Level 1 artists mostly use one kind of brush, as soon as you start using multiple brushes you know you're improving
I kind of found this to be the opposite for myself lol
Going back many many years ago when I was in Highschool I took a drawing class, I was pretty good with my work back then, I'm far better now then I was but what I noticed in that class as it wasn't like an official pro drawing class is that when other class mates looked at my work and when the teacher used some of my drawings as good examples many of them came up to me and was telling me how to be as good as I was and how to do it, and after giving a few of them the tips I used at the time.. I knew I wasn't anywhere close to a pro but I wanted to help out but they would still struggle, some got it but what I noticed is a lot of students didn't know it takes time to improve whereas a lot of these students wanted to get better overnight and they learnt the hard way.
A lot of new people starting in learning to draw what to get better quick and when they don't they likely give up.. Drawing is just like any other subject.. you need to learn and view the project, break it down and learn how things work before taking the final exam. It's easy for me cause I've learnt how things look like, by all means I learnt everything, I am always learning something new but when someone looks at a parkbench they see... well a park bench.. but when I look at it I am thinking.. ok that's the perspective, sizes of the wood, light and shadows *takes a metal snapshot*
For anyone who drivers a manual transmission car it's just like drawing, once you know the sound of the engine and when to change gears your mind and hand does it automatically for you.. that... that is what drawing is like when you learned a lot. Here are some of my tips that may or may not help... lol
- Don't give up! If you are gonna give up very quick then think about why you want to draw.
- If you figured out a awesome technique then draw them.. step by step so you can go back to it and or improve on them.
- Don't be afraid to make mistakes, idea is not to remove or bin your mistakes.. KEEP THEM! They are a good reminder on what you failed at and to ensure you learn from them, not only that it's a good way to look back when you improve yourself over time.
- You don't need the best materials to draw. Just a pencil and paper.
- Research art! It is fine to get inspired and even copy other peoples art but only for learning tho.. but never copy someone else's work and pass it off as your own.
- Watch Tutorials and detailed step by step. Look don't be that lone wolf wanting to do everything themselves without ever needing help, there is only so much you can do alone, if you don't use tutorials and or references then you can't improve.. you'll get to the point where you can't improve cause you can't compare it to others to find out what you are doing wrong.
- Ask for help, other people, family and or anyone you know that may have drawing skills.
- Start basic, don't start your drawing with the end result of being a huge high detailed art piece only to either give up or upset as it wasn't how you expected it to be.. start basic, learn to improve and then slowly create bigger and bigger with more detailed art pieces.
- Ask for peoples thoughts about your work. Now when you do this expect people to look down and or say pretty bad stuff about art.. it's just how people are but ignore them, stand strong and always aim to become better.
- If you get frustrated then take a break.
Me: *has a beautiful style of anatomy, level 5-6*
Also me: *level 1 colouring*
Yeh,Same bruh
Dude, jump on Udemy and get the Digitally Painting Color and Light course by Austin Batchelor. You definitely will understand light and color after that. If you've never been on the site, it's 12 bucks to purchase the course. You can also wait until it goes on sale again.
help me with anatomy ill help you with colours
Omg sameeeee😂
i can feel you.. maybe becaause Iam used to draw with inks and pen.
See now it's kinda weird because at every level there are pictures where I'm like "I'm a million times better then that" and others on the same level like "That gonna take me a long ass time"
Yes, in my mind, she isn't objective by choosing the pictures.
And all the pictures made on pc or mobile - the app can do some shadows and highlight, so: why are you talking about coloring - I mean - jeah, do some art with pencil and paper"
Ikr
Same
Right
Relatable
I come back to this video every few months, and man I've been doing it for three years and now I've memorized almost all the art lol
I love revisiting this video every few years to see what my art level is at. Since I first found this video 6ish years ago, my art has progressed from a 3 to a 5, which I'm quite proud of.
*flips word art*
Oh no, it's terrible. I can't even read it.
underrated comment
I actually laughed out loud
Tra? Im gonna be whoooshed couse i dont get the joke

Am I the only person who's level varies on different days
Socia Lips nope I'm pretty much the same. I think my art is generally a level 3 though I hav some level 2 art but my school artwork is level 4. But my school work does take a LONG time to do and it's quite detailed. I once stayed up till 3 finishing a piece 0_0
Socia Lips nope im the same
No
Nope
Socia Lips same here....!!
So I've came back to this video to check on my art level since I'm about to go into senior high, studying in an art school. I wanna know how much I've improved and omfg I'm crying.
From a level 2 when this video came out, to a level 5 bordering level 6. The fact that I struggled practicing so badly the years prior, and realizing how much those times have changed my art so much just makes me wanna cry. Been experiencing an art burnout for so long, but seeing that I've even improved during those times is just a massive boost of motivation for me.
I'm conflicted because school has greatly improved my art, yet nearly destroyed my love for it. I'm just hoping that I'd regain that love for it again as I once did back in elementary, but seeing my improvement just helps with that *a lot* :")
I’ve been watching this every now and then for the past few years and it’s great to look back at how I’ve grown in levels!
Sometimes I'm at 2 sometimes I'm at 5
ｄａｍｎ
I feel your pain
CitrusFenno same, sometimes I'm at 1-2 and sometimes I'm at 4-5
same oml
CitrusFenno same
CitrusFenno me at level six:
WHA-HOW-WHY-GAH WHAT IS THIS, MAGIC?!?!
The problems you can have:
Level one:
-you usually spend a lot of time on your art
-the lines on your drawing aren't as confident as a level two artist
-held back by anatomy and shape
-the coloring is scribbled in fill for traditional art, in digital art there's white gaps or pixellated edges
Recommended drawing programs: FireAlpaca and Krita (they're both free)
*Keep drawing for fun, draw things you like and you will automatically get the experience you need to reach level two.*
Level two:
-lines and colors are cleaner than level one
-shading is imprecise
-anatomy and shape problems
-boxy feeling
-trying shades
-sketches aren't strong
Level three:
-rarely has issues with line
-pose might be awkward and unnatural
-maybe inbalance in the character's symmetry (flip picture to see if it's ungood (it's hell))
-shape can be off
*Even if you draw cartoons, you need to practice anatomy and shapes from real life*
-you should start paying attention on composition
Level four:
-if there's anatomy/shape problems, they are unnoticeable
-solid composition; rarely useless space
-some pieces will be well composed
The drawing can be very simple.
*Improve your art skill you have two options: formal or informal training. [...] Read a book. Do life drawings. Look for classes by artist who have been working professionally for more than ten years*
Level five:
-probably anatomy problems
-could have more defined light and shadow contrast
Level six:
She can't help you and I cannot either, it's just perfecto
Thanks for making this very helpful video, I going too look up at this channel!
Don't forget guys, never give up your art! ^w^
When you can't even draw a stickman
@@pillow1557 Try it, you will be suprised how easy it is to draw a stickman
@@pillow1557 no one can draw a stickman if they never try. If great artists gave up before they could even start there would be no good art. Art is not something someone is magically either good at or not good at. It's a learning process. You wouldn't expect someone to be good at math if they never learned how to add, why would it be any different with drawing?
I'm a 3
Me: Oh, I must be level 2...
**sees "spends long time on art"**
*never mind*
When I found this video waaaay back in 2017 I had just started drawing. I was certainly a level 1-2 but I always tried to convince myself I was a level 3 lmao. I've been revisiting this vid every few months/years. Nowadays, 6 years and 1 (hopefully 2 in some weeks) concept art JOBS later, I'm a level 5, maybe level 6 in some pieces if I put enough effort, and this is one of my favorite videos of all time. Thank you. Sincerely, some internet rando.
OH my God when I first watched this video, I thought I was for sure level 3 (probably in 2017.) Now I'm looking at my new art, and I think I'm a level 5 or 6 for some of my best pieces. I'm totally shocked, I'm just so proud of myself and how far I've come. I've even started selling my art, teaching at a local studio, and gotten accepted to a college. Thanks so much for inspiring young me :)
I love how you made constructive criticism for lower levels without putting anyone on blast
she should blast...
@@viviv6774 why??
Me: *Gets 56 sheets of paper*
Dad: umm sweetie thats waaaay too much paper
Me: dad in the art world this is too little
Edit: _omg 1k likes_
Accurate lol (also your profile pic 👌🏻)
Angel Sunshine My dad brings home like a stack of paper for me,,
yea my dad thought so too so he went to the store to buy more paper he must be getting alot because he has not come back for 18 years
That so true!
Angel Sunshine my friends at school say when I take all the paper,
Friends: that's way to much ur gonna waste paper!
Me: uses all paper and finishes sketchbook
First time i encountered this video i was at lvl 3 and 3y before art uni exams. Now i can finally say im at lvl 6 and working full time as an artist in game dev industry ^^
that's amazing, I hope I can grow to be somewhat like you someday ^^

@@franknfurter5336 you will for sure! Practise makes perfect ^^
On top of being super helpful by giving me an easy way to quantify my skill, (something that is VERY hard to find for art), this video has done something entirely unexpected- given me motivation! I seem to be between 4 and 5, which is gratifying enough to give me the boost I needed today to go draw something!

Or unless your me. Well… they stretch just past my knees.

*scp-3000 employees intensifies*
I remember the days when my art was in the 1-2 range. I would see beautiful drawings other people did and I aspired to become just as good as they are. Here I am seven years later with a 5-6 level skillset. For anyone who is just starting out, never give up. Draw as much as possible and give it time. Improving doesn't come quickly and that's perfectly fine. You will get there :)
Furrŕrdrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
*sniff* I needed to hear that, thank you
damn well done my guy :)
i also know that drawing improves over time... because... well... *looks over my bad old art using only circle heads*.... yeah.
Imagine in another 7 years, maybe exceeding level 7 or 8
Sometimes I think about little me 7-8 years ago drawing paw patrol characters & making warrior cats ocs and dreaming about having good art like the youtubers I watched at the time and here I am today, an adult, with a level 4 mindset, an actual tablet with a screen (albeit being an android tablet, still a huge step up from my pad tablet of years past).
I don’t make traditional art in the sense of like fully finished art with blooming colors and crazy realistic parts, mine is either b&w or using more faded colors and every time I try to finish something I make into a smooth colored piece I get so discouraged and usually give up. My finished pieces are always sketchy in some form since my style favors it & just looks off with smooth lineart. Weirdly though I take most of my inspiration from hanna barbera cartoons which are pretty smooth in looks
Anyway, I’m not sure where I’m going with this, I’m very proud of myself for how far I’ve come since then and I love my art style since it’s unique and I wouldn’t trade what I make for smooth brightly colored art. But I’m still insecure about it since a lot of people believe the latter to be “good”, and sketchy grayscale art to be “bad”. One of my mom’s friends has a kid who makes seriously incredible hyper realistic art and when I was a bit younger, around 4 years ago, making my cartoons she would always compare what I made to her and it really ruined my outlook and will to keep making art. If art and drawing weren’t outlets to get my emotions out I would’ve definitely given up because I felt I HAD to make a certain kind of art for it to be good. Luckily I didn’t and here I am now :)
What kind of art do you make if I can ask? Like what style do you primarily have?
I’ve been considering biting the metaphorical bullet and setting up a deviantart or something to post mine since I don’t share it and I’d love to make more art friends
Every couple of months I will come back to this video to see if I've improved at all or relate to any of the higher levels, this is my third time watching it
I'm back- and I think I've definitely improved, I think I'm around a level 2, on the cusp of level 3
@@tippitytoppity9001 how about now?
It’s super cool you just created a helpful feedback machine for the artists at all levels. Gold star. 🌟
Huh i watched this 2 years ago and i was a level 2.
2019 and now im level 4
nice.
Same here, when I look back at my art 2 years ago it's cringy af
oof same, I'm glad I improved over the years!
My art was so bad...
Lost Swiftpaw me too and I’ve improved alot
I was level 2 but now I'm 3 :( slow growing

@@iamacat6448 ikkkk when you overestimate your art and you look back like “nahhhh”
This video has been a huge help on my art journey for years now. I like to come back to it every couple years.
like 2 years ago I was on a level 1 or 2 at most, now I can confidently say that I'm on a level 5! my sketches are prolly a level 4 but that's because it's a sketch!! ill check back in like a year or 2 to see if I improved!
questions or feature me,
do you do more full drawings rather than bust drawings
do you still do digital paintings or have you switched it up
and do you still draw fanart more than oc art?
When you still don’t know in what level you are...
Wiwita haha me too I can’t decide which one
i'm level 1 or 2 idk... ;v; atleast i do something...
Wiwita When you know how to make a drawing better than everything in the level, that’s how you know you’re above it.
If you know you could make some of the drawinga of a level, that’s how you know you’re close to leveling up.
me too xD
Level 2 here! ^^
*Irl:*
Test drawing: level 3
Final drawing: level 1 :/
*Digital:*
Test drawing: level 1
Final drawing: level 4
Oof that's the opposite for me.
@@hello_people5283 oh wow
same my digital arts sucks, like I feel so unconfrotable with the pencil and the glass, it looks like I can't draw at all, I love painting more like in canvas

One of the things that helps is to redraw old art, to clearly see how far you’ve come helps motivate me
It's been years now since I've first commented. I can now confidently say my work is a solid level 5 when it comes to illustration. The struggle is trying to improve my work so I can break through to level 6. Going to art school, taking online art courses and sharpening my fundamentals are the steps I've been taking to hopefully get me there.
lvl 1: improve
lvl 2: you're okay
lvl 3: you're good
lvl 4: you're great
lvl 5: you're amazing
lvl 6: just draw demonic drawings and you're good
LVL 6 that is 666 points to The No Named Nicole
The No Named Nicole I am on none of those levels :>
Alanna Furto
Level 7: if you're drawing demonic drawings...stop ur drawing urself. No human can draw dis guud
Lvl 1: improve
Lvl 2: improve
Lvl 3: improve
Lvl 4: improve
Lvl 5: improve
Lvl 6: improve
If you love art and want to take it seriously you should always try to improve your art xD
The No Named Nicole I must be amazing then
Lvl 10 Can draw the other eye
Hailey Minos omg so relatable
I can NEVER EVER draw the other eye
oh sorry i do that too but what about on paper
Copy, paste, flip horizontally, position, done
... Yup
cringemaster67 I didn't see the replies, I literally was only replying to the original comment which had no mention of paper.
Just use a ruler
i remember watching this when i was 12, something in between the levels 2 and 3 back then. Have been focusing on anatomy, realism, semi-realism and traditional art for most of the time 'till now, and I'm happy to say that my digital art is cuttently on level 4 and my traditional art something in between 5 and 6.
maybe I will come back here in a year or so...
i wonder...
I always love coming back to this video every now and then to see my progress 💕💕💕
i'm still questioning at what level my art is after watching this vid
Same lmao, ive been coming back to this video for almost two years. Its just so interesting and informative. Maybee im level 3.5? Lol
Same I'm like 2, 3 or 4 ;-;
Same. But i kinda think 3
Right? You have an idea, but you aren't sure unless you send the art yourself.
its honestly not that big of a deal anyways. this video just entertains me, lol.

YUP! I CAN ONLY SAY"HOLY MOLY"
I ain't cleaning that up.
I am glad to see myself progress from level 2 to levels 5-6 over the past 4 years since this has been published.
I might come back to this video even years later, it always struck a cord in me after watching it.
coming back to this video after 5 years I can't help but wonder where these artists are now. i hope they're doing well!
0- when I have an art block
1- when I'm like 'meh'
2- when I actually put in some effort
3- when I put in A LOT of effort which I rarely do.
So yeah I'm a level 2
wait what exactly in the world same , how old are you im gonna gues between 11 and 15 .... Im 12
Poot Lovoto 13
I'm a level 2 RARELY I'm a level 3
wait what exactly in the world I'm level 2, sometimes I space out and become level 3 for a minute before being level 2 again.
I'm the exact same, I'm a level 2 but I can be level 3 if I try hard enough.
Everybody's all like *HOW DO I DRAW HANDS?*
