    As a woman in my 70's, I stopped drawing and painting years ago, but now I'm trying to start over again. My husband is an artist, and he always tells me less is more. I like it when you draw and teach, without speeding up the video. I learn more that way, and I feel if every artist who teaches would put less in one teaching video, us beginners would learn more.

However, you don’t have to start super young to be a good artist, my most successful learning experience was during the pandemic, I spent from 2019 to 2021 drawing consistently every day for hours and the improvement was incredible, night and day. Just practice every day and you’ll see how fast you improve, you’ll draw faster and with more confidence, I promise ❤️. Also, in my humble opinion, you’re never done learning, I still feel after all these years that I have SOO much to learn and that’s beautiful, I think. Good luck on your journey, I’m sure you are an amazing artist ❤️.

    @@Sai-hc4iq I wouldn't recommend art school personally. I wouldn't recommend uni/college for anything you can learn and suceed in by learning alone. What I would do is try to invest in online learning otherwise, especially these days during the pandemic. Learning online through courses run by professional artists is just as effective and much cheaper. Of course art school is right for so many people, but I wouldn't recommend viewing it as a place that will "teach you" art. In the end, art is self-taught. You would mostly be paying for guidance. You might also consider going into a field that is more commercial/where you learn more technical skills, such as graphic design, web design, even illustration or animation. I would mostly advise against fine arts. But that's just my experience wasting a lot of money studying fine arts and not knowing what the real world was like lol :) my only hard and fast advice would be to devote yourself to learning now, work on improving and on doing more work than you do now... and see how you like it. If you have any questions from my unique perspective (only one of many perspectives on the subject of art education!), please let me know.

    Hi! I am very glad you put those up! These exercises are mostly what I do to warm up, but I have another one you might like: based on the continuous line, I write words in cursive (or any other continuous pattern) but when the end is reached, I proceed backwards on the lines I have drawn, then forwards again. This one increases your precision as it forces you to follow a established line, and if you use different words/patterns everytime, it grants you more control over time. Hope you like it!

    Hi Jess, I don't know whether this is also useful to anyone but as an artist who works in fine detail I discovered eye exercises a few years ago and have found these really beneficial as my eyesight was starting to deteriorate with the eye strain. They only take about 10 minutes a day to do and have been well worth while seeing a definite improvement. Thanks for a great video.

    This up coming new year is gonna be the year where I really wanna improve on my art and take it seriously. These videos help so much and they help me realize that it's ok to have messy art or messy sketches. I always thought everything I draw had to be a finished piece, even in my sketchbooks, but that is not the case! I can be messy, crazy, and weird with my art all I want and in the end, I'm enjoying myself and I learn along the way so that I can be even better! Thank you for posting these videos Jess! Ur a huge inspiration! I hope you're holidays are going well! ♥️⛄🎄

I used to draw a lot in my youth and then family and a job (I've never liked) got in the way of my creativity. Now, at 60, I am closer to retirement, and I definitely want to get that old artistic skill back. I'm glad I clicked on this recommendation and look forward to seeing more. Thanks for sharing!

    Thank you for this interesting and informative video! Concerning using one's non-dominant hand, my mom is naturally ambidextrous and used both hands for writing and drawing [until] her teacher flipped out and scolded her for using either hand. She [the teacher] demanded that my mom tell her which hand she uses and my mom, feeling flustered and shocked at the [outburst] just put any hand in the air. The teacher told her that she was to [only] use that hand from then on. Teachers can make or break a person's life. When my mom mentioned this experience to me, it made me [very interested in using my left hand to write and sketch- to try to hone in on my sketching skills. It was something that interested me even before that. It has been a while, but I intend to take up that as part of my interest in creativity. Thank you, once again, for sharing this information.

    Tysm for the tips! I’ve been drawing for almost 2 years and even improving a lot my drawing skills, sometimes I feel as if I was a beginner. Idk but I feel as if I couldn’t make a fast drawing or an accurate line, without erasing it at least one time! Have u ever felt like this? But with these exercises I feel I can feel more loose when drawing and improve. They may sound silly but when we put our judgment away from what we are doing, we see how powerful these exercises are!

    Thank you for these great exercises. I'll definitely give them a shot. I took a dynamic sketching class from cgma, here are the best exercises i learned: 1. Boxes: draw many two point perspective boxes overlapping each other and at different angles 2. Shape texture: draw an amorphous blob and make it 3d and add texture to the shape 3. 5 forms overlaps: draw spheres, cones, cylinders, cubes, and pyramids in various angles and intersections Overall you can design exercises for the kind of drawing you want to create!
