HOW TO IMPROVE YOUR ART || My Top Ten Tips

If you want to know how to improve your art, how to be a better artist, improve your style, find yourself as an artist, and do so quickly, then this video is for you! Today I share some advice that I wish I had been given as a self taught artist that I had to find out for myself.
1. Understand art fundamentals and color theory.
2. Don’t give up on your work, stick with it and don’t give up halfway through
3. How to retrain your mind to be better at proportions. Grids.
4. Get the right tools, a set of pencils.
5. Experiment with different mediums but only stick to one in particular to begin with.
6. How to blend, shadows.
7. Always use a reference.
8. Don’t expect too much from your art, be smart, don’t get burned out
9. Draw other artists work, copy art.
10. Create an experimental sketchbook, draw features repeatedly.

    Proof that things like art (any forms of art) are not about talent at all. You just have to put a sh*t load of time on it to get better. You can have talent for something, but as long as you don't practice it is a bit useless if that makes sense. Like no one is going to pick up a guitar and play a really hard song, you need practice for that. Oh welll. This is really helpful tho

    Not sure I agree with the not about talent part. I watched a video earlier of students with a live nude model. They were studying the model as If they were drawing her but.....they were just making tons of squiggly marks holding pencils with their fists, stabbing motions, crazy motions and even doing that while holding a brush in their mouth. Then complimenting each other on how well they captured the figure well. Hint. Not one was even close to drawing any figure. I think the nude model may have been there to help them picture someone naked so they wouldn't get nervous.

    Hi Paul, that video you described sounds like gestural drawing, which is laying in of the of shapes, figures, etc. in a loose way. The idea is to capture the essence of the model and pose or action in a free-flowing way. Generally several of these sketches are done and then you choose one, or all, of the studies to refine. Some artists swear by this method, and I will admit that for large drawings it does help get the basic shapes and energy captured, but it is a little out of my comfort zone, which is kind of the point I guess. Get you loosened up and using freer movements, etc.

    All of us kids would sit around on the floor with my dad and watch him draw simple objects, like bird houses. Everything started with a square; it seemed. We were very entertained. Mom loved it too, we were also very quiet! It was a little while after that, that I started to draw in pencil as well. My dad would bring home paper from his work for me to draw on and I used a regular yellow pencil to draw with. I stayed with pencil until I went to a small community college up north and realized there were other mediums I could try!

    I say don't say 'oh that looks rubbish' without having actually finished it. An eye may not look that great when that's all you've painted but once you've painted everything else around it you realise it doesn't actually look that bad. Also a good way to see if colours/proportions/shading are right is to look at your artwork from a distance. That way bits that are say too dark stand out more.

    the numbers on the pencils are not the thickness of the lead (the thickness of the lead depends on the point.. how much you sharpen them).. the numbers represent the softness or hardness of the lead. pencils you use at school are HB pencils they are a medium lead and if you try to draw with these using the same pencil for all your shading you will struggle because the pencil is not soft enough for shading you will have to press harder and the lead will not blend properly on the page you will be left with a picture that has the same tonal value all over so it has less definition. most sets of drawing pencils range from about a 6B which is very soft to a 5H which is very hard lead. you need to use the harder leads to sketch your outlines because these are easier to use softly and easier to erase and you need to use the softer pencils to shade because the lead can blend easier, you won't need to press as hard and your shaded areas wont look as shiny. if you do this rather then just use a HB pencil your pictures will have more definition. this is not meant to be insulting, i'm just trying to help.

    I've got a sketchbook, too, but I don't use it that much. instead i scribble and sketch and doodle tons of stuff into my schoolstuff. like my folders or notes or so are full with drawings. especially my planner, because once a week is over i feel like i can "redesign" the page by drawing in it. I always hope , that at the end of the year, my planner will be full of drawings. it's way easier for me to draw there because it's not good paper nor do i stress about making ot look perfect. mostly i just doodle when im bored in class anyways so... :D

    If you are doing realistic portraits my teacher taught me to "NOT fall in love with your art work." What this meant was if you were trying to do a portrait of someone also ways look away from your sketch book and and observe the features. This is where like Chloe mentioned where your brain tells you what it thinks the person looks like.

    These are insanely helpful tips, especially to somebody who is also trying to self-teach. Thank you so much! Also a tip that I found really works for me, is just to have one sketchbook where you draw whatever. Lines squiggles, imaginary worlds, anything really that flows from your pencil and not get too technical about it. I think this just really helps with getting use to your own creativity and the patience of coming back to a work. Also since their is no reference there is really nothing to hold you back from making it however you want. It's just a really nice break from the technicalities and in my experience, it helps refresh my love for art again.

    "You are your own worst critic" is the most hard truth to accept. My mom told me this when i was really young and since i have had a few teachers tell me as well. But accepting the fact is the hard part because it applies to every single aspect of life. From learning to tie ur shoes, to getting ur masters degree to becoming a parent. No one can ever criticize u worse than urself. Its turning the negative away and focusing on the positive that i found difficult. But it is possible. Consistency is key.

    You mentioned about an experimental sketch book... I started watching videos of Stefan Baumann who teaches oil painting classes and a class called "The power to create." His version of a sketch book is to call it a "doodle book" and doing between 100-500 'doodles' a week. Noting that calling it a 'doodle' our mind lets us get by with it not being 'great quality' but 'practice.' Nothing that is of any importance, but doodles of things around you to train your eye hand coordination. I have started doing that, and I find it much easier to lay out my painting sketches. Just wanted to share. :) Stefan has many videos in a classroom setting and gives some very good theory regarding central focal points, secondary focal points, eye magnets, and how to paint effects rather than 'things.' Thank you for your videos as well. I always love watching to pick up a new technique here and there! Keep up the great work!!!

Something that has helped me soooo much with drawing when it comes to anatomy, perspective, or just poses in general is that I have a fullbody mirror on the wall to the side of my desk. It is SO EASY to just reach your hand out 'oh that's what it looks like' or arch your neck and see that 'it doesn't bend like that in real life' or just if you need a sitting-reference you're already sitting down looking at the mirror... Or facial expressions! I love your videos!

    Excellently said, i have been doing art on and off for 30 years, i would buy and use what supplies i was able to without buying the dearest more the middle of the road expense as i improved and got fussy about pigments etc. To begin with i did sketchbooks for practicing and i copied from news papers,magazines, etc, the main thing i would say is to get started on art is to study from books as well as dvds or here on youtube but also do not get bogged down with to many different artists as it may hold back the time you could be working and practicing on a peace, and do little work or put it away after half hour and go back to it later is great advice, also be yourself without any pressure or big expectation.

So many people out there are saying like “ohh no you can’t use a reference” and junior painters / artists may find that very discouraging because they really need it. And also with the sketchbook: I have one too with watercolour paper for my canvasses and it’s also 5 shitty pages in order to get the technique right on the 6th! So big appriciation that you just bring it out and show it! You’re a very honest person and it’s great! Keep it up!

Drawing everyday also helps a lot, because I learn from the mistakes of let's say yesterday's drawing and today's drawing is even better. This video helped me a lot, I'm feeling all inspired now!

    someone has probably already commented this, but to add on to point 2: if you're working digitally, flip the canvas often. your eyes get used to seeing the drawing one way, and flipping the canvas makes it much easier to see where proportions are off, where there's art lean, etc. for traditional art, you can do the same thing by holding up a mirror to the piece and seeing if it still looks right. it's faster than stepping away from the piece for a few hours to let your eyes readjust, and it's easier to spot exactly what looks wrong ^.^

    The biggest thing that let me grow as an artist was: hubris. Pure hubris. After all, I started out very early, and was thoroughly convinced that I was better than anyone else I knew at art. This, of course, I completely not true as I soon met my match from just about anyone who took art seriously. Did I give up? Of course not. Somehow I got it into my head that I HAD to be better than everyone else. And so I worked harder than ever before, feeding my ego until, eventually, I will be decent at art.

    When I am staring a drawing or looking a references I tend to write down about 4 or 5 ideas and ask my friends what they think I should do and they normally add their own ideas to it and then u might have another idea about a drawing. Also it helps to have a art friend (a term that I made up, it is used to describe a friend that does art) to talk to about idea and other art stuff :) and one more tip, if u have art friend(s) go draw similar subject matters because it gets u and ur friends to talk about how u do art and how they do it because they might help u understand something or u help them its also a great to get to know if friends better :) hope this was useful!

    this was so helpful! another thing I'd like to add to that list would be doing drawing exercises like repeatedly drawing the shape of an eight and just scribbling (in the experimental sketchbook, obviously). it helps loosen up the arm and you can draw more freely and with more flow (if that makes sense lmao). awesome video though! :D

    I hold on to my badly painted canvases.. then months later tackle them again. It takes little time and encourages greater risks because you have so little to lose. The original attempt was already deemed a dud. And occasionally, revisiting an old painting one finds it wasn't so bad after all.

    I really suggest getting a hand model, 10-20 bucks with moving fingers... Hands are the worse for all artist but I think its because hands are just harder to figure out from pictures because they are mostly flat and depending on how you angle it, fingers just jut out of no where and it can be really hard to draw your own hand because your limited in its movements. I found that my hands improved really quick when I had this life size model just sitting here balled in a fist or with the fingers kind of jutting about real spazzy... Because I can glance at it makes picturing the movement and angles easier then staring at a reference and trying to apply it to a image... Like spheres, I think hands are one of those things you need to have contact with in person to draw better... And the model is more comfortable to draw then trying to turn my left hand at a odd angle so I can study the way light hits it because that can get painful fast which leads to "Screw it" moments.

    I been into art since I was 12 years old and it took me really really long to improve my skills. Why? Because as Chloe said in the video, I always switched between mediums and tried pretty much everything: pencils, pens, watercolors, gouache, acrylic paints and never ended up sticking to one medium that I found comfortable. ONLY RECENTLY I decided to try out color pencils which I found comfortable and fun to work with. Over a year I noticed huge improvement which I wasn't able to achieve over so many years before because I was jumping like a bunny between various mediums. So yeah, the best way to improve your art gradually is to stick to one or maybe two mediums and experiment with them over and over again

    I try to make sure that I remember or try out these tips, as well as learning from my own mistakes when creating something. I think reassurance is really important when it comes to creating something, especially if you're still experimenting with things. I never really try to rush myself because I've found that putting myself under any kind of pressure just makes me frustrated with my work. I'm always looking to expand my drawing capabilities by emulating other artists' style and trying to blend my own drawing habits with theirs. Just thought I'd ramble a little bit. :)

    Thanks for this very inspiring video! I, as a self-teaching art student (if there is any such thing), will benefit from this. One thing you mentioned has never been a factor to me. That was the four years you spent improving, and how you mentioned people don't want to wait or how four years is too long. If someone doesn't practice for four years, at the end of that time, four years will have passed anyway, and that person is still saying, "I wish I could draw like that."

    Any art tool/material is fine to practice, experiment, and have fun. If you sell or gift your work in any serious way however, you may want to care about the work being lightfast and archival. It doesnt have to cost a lot more, but you don't want to sell or gift something that will fade or get yellow and degrade over time. There are even expensive supplies that fade, llike alcohol markers (ie: copics) which are meant to be scanned and printed if you mean to display them -as dyes fade very quickly compared to pigments (one year compared to over 100 years). :)

    so im just getting back into art for the most part since high school (5 years). I was really good in high school and the biggest thing i have learned is if you dont use it, you lose it. ive tried numerous times to get back into it and just got too frustrated and stressed and gave up right away. i had recently been in the mood to try water color again because it was easy to me in high school. massive fail. but then something came along a couple weeks ago on facebook and inspired me. the "kindness rocks project" reached my town and i wanted to try it. pretty much people paint rocks and hide them for others to find. when found you can either keep them or rehide them for someone else to find. the only thing for this project you use acrylic paint which is a medium i never got the chance to try. i took painting in highschool and was horrible at it. the class was only a semester so i only got a chance at water color and oil painting. i really hate oil painting. well now that i have tried acrylic i semi love it. i have always been a pencil and eraser type of person because you have so much more control. im trying my hardest to be patient and to learn how to paint. im slowly getting bettter but only if i do really simple and basic designs. i would really love to learn how to shade with acrylic and such. i have somewhat learned how to do ombre with sponge brushes but it wasnt easy at all. if you have any pointers i would greatly appreciate it. if you want to see some of my recent work ill post a link to my instagram. instagram.com/annamarie.kuhr/?hl=en

    Go slowly. Mixing paint, little bit at a time, don't just dump it all in. Step away from your work, even just for a couple minutes. Always use references! I use at least 10 references for one thing in a piece, stuff I've found and my own pictures. Don't draw (or paint etc) flat, draw on a verticle angle almost parallel to the wall. Things get distorted when you look at it flat on the table vs up and down on a wall. Keep Your Reference Next To Your Art The Whole Time You Are Working On It! Reference it Often!! Take your time. Plan your piece before you start on the finished product, work out the kinks first in your sketchbook before trying to dive straight into the finished piece. Thumbnails! (Small, Simple sketches to work out composition). Make swatches of colors to see if you like them before putting them on the finished piece!!
