    Even if you’ve been drawing for years, this is still relevant! I have been drawing for 4 years and i only have been practicing for 1 year. It is good to always look at the fundamentals, and don’t get overwhelmed but set up a plan to take everything little by little, also, remember to have fun! Don’t just study all the time :)

      @@chaosl9860 It depends on how you practice, focused studies and tackle different fundamentals with repeated practice you can improve even in 1 year, it doesn't matter how long, more like how long you've been doing it over and over, once per week won't cut it

      @@chaosl9860 no, it is about this “ phase” that he talks about in this video. First time practicing for example the fundamentals will be slow and harsh and you might not see a lot of progress, but if you keep doing this, it will come easier and you will see differences in no time. If this doesn’t make sense to you, think about it as a sport. Funfact, people don’t see a lot of result the first 6 months of going to the gym. After such a period, something kicks in and they are seeing changes rapidly. Just don’t give up, and watch some more marc brunet on “how to study the right way”

And I'm happy to say that I have made really great progress whenever I draw rather it be the body, face and even hands which your video really helped me out on.

Now, I'm a designer and programmer mostly, but I want to be able to do some art to convey ideas to others in a more tangible and permanent way, and now I actually understand what all the crazy diagrams I've been seeing are meant to help me learn and practice!

    I've been drawing since 2016, at that time I continued to draw, I drew things around, anime characters and so on. one time I started to feel bored drawing and rarely drew, in the end my drawing didn't make any progress. my advice to beginners out there to be diligent in drawing even when you are bored, it's okay if you want to take a break, but don't let you stop because when you stop drawing, you might forget how to draw

      I would also suggest you figure out what can inspire you and encourage you to draw more. I get inspired from artists on Instagram or Pinterest (go Pinterest if IG gets too toxic) and I’ve found that gesture drawing really gets me more in the mood to draw, even though I feel like I’m not great with gestures. But these have helped me draw more in the past few months than I ever did in the last ten years, and I’ve improved SO MUCH just from sticking to it.

      Then I don't know if I should even start learning how to draw. It seems like my routine with any hobby, whether it's programming, specific video games or sculpting with plasticine, is *"do it for a day or two, a few weeks at most, then get bored/annoyed/lose inspiration and quit for an unspecified ammount of time."* It's not worth learning how to draw if I'm just gonna quit early and forget everything in a month or so. :(

      @@robertlupa8273 Gotta adjust your mindset before anything else. If you convince yourself of something, whatever the truth is, your mindset and actions will follow that thought process. Try to avoid beating yourself up so much (trust me, experience). Rethink your approach to your hobbies and take baby steps towards whatever you want. That applies to learning to draw or any of your other hobbies. But if you really think something isn’t worth it to you, don’t let that big you down either.
      Personally, I tend to beat myself up in thinking “oh man, I was supposed to do this and I didn’t,” when I really just set my goals to too high of a level to start with. Monitor yourself and figure out whatever you want. You can adjust whatever you need to from there to work towards what you want. Just be kind to yourself in the process, no matter what you do.

Also, the best thing about all your videos is seeing you draw in them, even if it’s just a 30 sec sketch of a rock or a face it’s invaluable to see how skilled artists actually work and draw. The fact that people can access these lessons for free is amazing, keep up the hard work, and thank you Marc.

    I began art training as a commercial artist in trade school, approx 1978, I was a draw stuff kid for years before. My training began with tools that were obsolete by the late 80s. A few years later I went to community college as a fine art education major. I didn't complete it to a degree bc I felt like I was rehashing what I had learned already in trade school. I'm 61 now and it was very interesting to me to see how art (beginner) is taught now using the current tools. I thought you did a great job of getting a lot of important information across in a short amount of time. Well done!... I hope you inspire and teach someone who loves being and artist and never stops.! Best wishes. And ty for keeping art alive!

    It is crazy how much this has helped me, and I haven’t even done any of these exercises yet! My main struggle with art is being creative enough to come up with something on my own, without relying completely on a reference. This video has already given me a ton of great ideas for coming up with character designs that I would never have thought of before. Thank you SO MUCH!

    Just leaving this here for me
    -Always compare yourself with the you from one year ago, not with other people
    - As long as you from the past sucks more than you right now, your on the right path
    Art Fundamentals:
    Construction
    Perspective
    Gesture
    Anatomy
    Color / Light
    Composition
    Design
    -Don't be afraid to use references
    - Observe with an educated eye
    - Study with a purpose

    i've been drawing for as long as I remember, even tried to go to school but never was able to do anything in my 30 years of existence, because of wasting time but also because I wasnt in a good place mentally. But your videos really helped me push to the grind. And I've taken some of your more mental health advice and found an art community that's been of a great help. So thanks for putting so much time into those videos

    Sir Marc i hardly ever comment ever, but got to say you heavly inspired me, the way you talk and explain and how you addapt to the farious Age and type of ppl really proves that you are a proffessional and good teacher, you can make your information reach all type of diferent ppl whit diferent ways of understanding i have allways found drawing really interesting the way you can expose and communicate whit other ppl throu images allways impressed me since i was a kid but i never really invested too much efford or time on this thing i love so much, once i got older i tryed to invest and improve i watched lots of tutorials and basics but i never understood how important they were, iknew they where important but never understood why, so i got unmotivated got lots of ideas but never could put them in practice has effective has i wanted, so i got demotivated, but after watching this video i kinda accepted the challenge i inputed on myself thanks a bunch, this time i will try to be more patience, and like you sayd manage expectations. thanks alot Sensei, the way you expose this type of information voluntary is trully impressive, hope the best of good on your objectives. cheers!

I've been drawing for 2 and a half years. At the start, I learned a lot from youtube videos. In between I used references and just sketched a lot. But now I'm getting back into learning and I'm going to do it right, thanks to your video!

    This was actually super helpful, I got down on myself recently for perpetually needing references. As you explained why you should use references and how to use them in the best way I realised I am doing that. I even realised that with one thing (mushrooms) I truly understand how they work in and out because of references and that is the reason why I don't need the references anymore when drawing them.

      You learn them in the order you want, although also a bit of all!! If you want to draw characters, you should probably focus on gesture and anatomy, if you want to draw environments then you should focus more on perspective and construction. When you want to draw full illustrations you'll definitely need colour and composition though.
