    When I saw day 1, I was like -- "OH cmon! This girl can draw so well." I'm speaking from the perspective of someone self-taught/heavily-influenced-by-manga... Then when you started drawing on your own, I understood what you meant. When I was in high school (two decades ago), I was so jealous of a classmate who can perfectly re-draw anything. It doesn't matter if it's realism or anime style, or what medium she chooses. It always comes out perfect. I was jealous because I suck at redrawing anything. No matter how hard I try, it always looked weird or wonky. One time, she was watching me freehand drawing and she said that she wishes she could draw like me, and I was like are you F*ing kidding. But then she explained that she cannot draw without any reference, even if she wanted to. At that time, I thought she was just pulling my leg. Now I understand what she meant. Great job on this video, you inspired me. I haven't been drawing in years but I want to kick start it again with this challenge.

    I keep seeing comments with “She’s drawn better at 30 days then me in XX years,” remember to NEVER compare yourself to others, and think to yourself; have you really been practicing for years? Drawing once every week or even month for a year straight means absolutely no progress, instead of comparing yourself and bringing up these lies; change yourself, start drawing for longer and practice smarter! Find your weaknesses and challenge them, get out of your comfort zone and push yourself!

    Yes! Learn the fundamentals before you decide to break them. I have ADHD so studying is really hard for me. A tip I do is fill one page with studies and fill the next with things I want to draw! It could be fanart, ocs, my cat, whatever I want. It helps keep me motivated and doesn't make art feel like a chore.

    Actually, when learning to draw, the most important things to learn as a beginner are gesture, perspective and also simplifying objects to basic shapes. Without that knowledge the anatomy will look super stiff and just not right. As an artist I can also tell that it is very helpful to draw from photos, since, when drawing from imagination, (especially beginners) might not notice some major mistakes (trust me, I've been there 🙈). I also noticed you struggled a bit with proportions of the head and face, so I would advise that you study the anatomy of a skull. Anyways, good luck with further improvement 😊

    @@EagleBreasts Gesture isnt a "loose" term to describe an art style. It teaches dynamic flow of the body and realistic centers of gravity in proportion to the pose. An action line or gesture line is the line moving straight through the body from the tip of the head to the anchor and the bottom of the feet. It is I can promise you, vital to learning how to draw. And not to mention drawing from reference like she speaks against doing in this video is absolutely a necessary step in making art. Every single disney illustrator draws from live models. Or pictures/videos them in the proper poses. Theres a different between reference and copying and you'll only hinder yourself if you choose not to.

    Never feel bad about using a reference. It will *always* turn out better if you use a reference rather then trying to draw straight from your head, no matter how long you've been doing art or how advanced you are. And use multiple references for one drawing!! Use as many references as you can for every single object. Eventually you'll learn from the use of those references and you'll be able to create good stuff without them, even if references could still make it better.

    I’ve been drawing for 5 years, and for the longest time I didn’t use references.. I just drew whatever came to my head and it of course was not the best at all. For years I didn’t know how the heck to improve and ended up not having a pencil or pen touch my art book for a few years, until a lil later when I made a friend who also had a passion for art and had been into it for a lot longer than I had, and she gave me hours and hours worth of advice on how to get better. I explained to her how I wasn’t improving within my art and had a struggle drawing things like arms, legs, hair, feet, etc.. the FIRST thing she said was “were you using references tho?” And I said “no” and she then said “that’s why you weren’t improving! You can’t expect to go from having no drawing experiences and being familiar with autonomy unless you have an example/reference to begin with” and ever since then I have always used references for every body part, and you may think “well it’s not as fun if you’re copying other people’s art and their style if you’re not coming up with anything yourself” but trust me, I thought this to myself when my friend told me too, but as soon as you start using those examples you will eventually just pick up how to draw certain things. The first thing I started referencing were hands, I had the absolute most trouble with drawing them, but as soon as I started referencing and getting ideas from things like Pinterest and tumblr, after a few weeks I didn’t even have to use references anymore because my brain was a lot better at picturing and automatically knowing how to draw them, even in certain hand positions and angles. They are a big help, especially surrounding autonomy. You aren’t gonna improve without them, trust me, you have to start from somewhere.

    My biggest advice (I make character concept art) is to study the fundamentals first! - Marc Brunet has some REALLY good videos on how to study correctly. 🥰 When starting to draw, it’s important to practice construction and shapes!! There’s a really good video by Proko, called: 6 steps to draw anything. It’s the first thing someone should start with. And also: use references all the time when you need it! - it’s like a mental Library. Because if you haven’t seen a frog before/remember what it looks like, how are you going to draw it without a picture? That’s also how you learn!! Good luck ❤️❤️

    Guys, don’t draw from imagination! Always use references (unless you’re doodling/just drawing for fun)! If you’re truly trying to improve your anatomy/structure, at least follow them LOOSELY, but still use them. All professional artists use references, so there’s no shame in using them! There are so many things that you actually remember wrong or can’t imagine clearly and don’t even realize it until you see an actual image of what you’re trying to draw. They also help you to step out of your comfort zone and draw poses you didn’t previously think of! I actually didn’t use references at first, and so I still forget to use references a lot. When I do remember to use them, though, my drawings always turn out so much better.

    One of my favorite artists, Ethan Becker, really summed it up best when it comes to the typical "drawing everyday" advice. Its not just about drawing everyday, its about learning *how* to learn. Meaning us as artists must have a plan of learning in incriments and practice those incriments over a long period. Whether its just taking 30 minutes a day to work on solely hands, feet, body, gestures etc. Art is very much more academic than people think.

    If I could give any advice to any beginners it'd be on your mindset. I constantly remind myself this all the time, your art doesn't have to always look good!! You're a beginner, you're new to art sometimes, your art is going to look bad and that's okay. If it's something you truly love and want to get better at you'll say, "okay that one was bad, but why? How can I improve this?". Trust me, you'll go much further in your art journey and you'll end up having way more fun if you aren't focused on how good your art looks.

HABIT is stronger than MOTIVATION! and last but not least Practice practice practice! remember everyday the reason why you start drawing and never stop! GO DRAWING NOW!!! :D i hope this is useful

    When artists say "just draw" what they actually mean is, practice realism, do studdys, use refferences and draw every day even if its just a little. You need to learn the rules before you can brake them. It is hard sometimes but you need to keep going bc you can just evolve if you keep doing it.

Combine the hard and soft pencils) And here are videos, which played a huge role in my development: 1. This is MohammedAgbadi's channel and he makes great reviews on some artists works. In this, he reviewed the most popular and appealing art style, so it can be really inspiring to find the art style you like and want to practice) kzread.info/dash/bejne/pIyXmJh-m7S-eM4.html&ab_channel=MohammedAgbadi 2. It is koizu's channel and this is a GREEEAAT video, it boosted my anatomy drawing practices in a second) I REALLY really recommend to watch it and try his tip after watching) You will see the real difference) kzread.info/dash/bejne/dmabsdZ9k8Weo8Y.html&ab_channel=koizu Other tips I found on Pinterest and I can not find all the tips but try to watch out the Pinterest, it not only inspiring but also relaxing 🌝✨ Thank you for your comment! ❤️✨

    Almost every artist use reference for their art, you can use a photography for reference, it will help for the anatomy and then you can add the face, hair and clothes you want. Some tips for me to progress faster would be : 1. Don't learn anatomy from comics / manga, you'll lost years ! 2. Practice figure drawing, you can use image of people on pinterest or real session with croquiscafe for exemple. 3. Learn how to shade 4. Use different graphic crayons : 4h (sketch in the begining) then hb, 2b etc... Have a good day !

    I never understood it when some artists would tell people that drawing everyday is the best way to improve. In reality, what matters most is what you draw and how you draw it. For example, the best way to draw human bodies is to first learn about human proportions and how to draw the basic shapes that make up those proportions. From there, it's then a good idea to start learning how to imagine those basic shapes as 3-dimensional objects to start giving form and depth. You will also want to learn to draw dynamically, making sure none of those shapes are stiff. So instead of making a perfect cylinder for an arm, make it thicker near the shoulder, and thinner toward the elbow, and curve it a bit. Give it some directionality. I wouldn't worry about anatomy to early on, as anatomy is just details. It's way more important to first understand how to draw the human figure in a proportional manner, and to have a good understanding of how that looks in a 3D space. There are a lot of steps, and those are just some of them. Just drawing humans alone is such a large subject and there are so many things that can be learned that it does take a very long time to really get it down. But ya, you need to be understanding and drawing the right thing for it to help you improve. If you just continually draw something incorrectly over and over again, you typically will not get better. You have to know where you went wrong and then make corrections so you don't continue to make those mistakes. The sad thing is ... many artists tell people to just keep drawing and claim that is the only way to improve. Heck, you don't even have to draw everyday to get good, again you just need to know where to focus, what to draw and how. You will of course require practice just as everything does, but it doesn't need to necessarily be everyday.

Now, I look back at my old drawings and look at the new ones, and the Glow up is just mind blowing! So my take on it is... if you’re considering learning how to draw DO IT!

    This is why people tend to find a quick way to learn. Really, it depends on the individual and how much you wanted to learn to draw. The 30 Day challenge itself isn't so bad and I'm not really complaining at the author. This comment is aimed for those who are trying to hurry up. You need the correct tutorials and drawing books\pdf to learn properly and normally. You don't simply watch specific tutorials like "how to draw manga\anime" but rather, look for gesture drawings, anatomy and stuff. Also, draw everyday isn't really a good tip but rather practice everyday. Meaning, you're practicing to draw what you just learned. Look for exercises, put the tutorials into heart and never forget what you just learned. Do trials and error with that in mind and be sure not to look for perfection. An Artist will always strive to improve, so to us, no drawing will always be perfect.

    It's not important what your drawings wind up looking like....the important thing is that you draw every day. It's relaxing, takes your mind off your troubles, and gets your day off to a great start when done first thing in the morning. I've been a subscriber to Danny Gregory's "Sketchbook Skool" for about 3 months now and his channel encourages you to try one sketch a day. I've already noticed a big improvement in my drawing skills. Thanks for this. Subscribed.

    here’s a tip that i found really helpful in my improvement: use thinner lines and fewer strokes. Your work will look cleaner, and you’ll make yourself convey what you want to draw more clearly & efficiently. however, when you’re developing your *style,* you can absolutely go back to thicker lines and such once you’ve learned the foundations first

    A tip I could give to new artists is, draw what you SEE not what you THINK you see. References is your friend y'all and it'll make your drawings 10x better, also draw loose sketches w/a pen it's ok to mess up. A sketchbook is supposed to be for you so stop worrying about always making perfect sketches, I definantly struggled w/always making my drawings perfect that I started to find drawing as a hassle instead of a hobby I loved. (Extra tip: DON'T shy away from drawing hands, I know y'all draw y'alls characters arms behind their backs to avoid it but it's better to start drawing them hands now then later on when your drawing is flawless but the hands look half-assed lol)

Its nice to build a mental reference bank but it comes with times and you shouldnt force it ! regarding proportions there are proportions "rules" in anatomy which learning about could probably help a lot !

    Wow, you improved so much! In such short time as well. 😍 some of the sketches you did in the earlier days has so much potential, and the longer you keep practising, the more you will notice what to focus on, and what you can "chill" on. Really great job! 🙌 Here comes some advice I've learnt, if someone's interested 🙃 When it comes to sketches, all you really need to do is learn the material you're using to draw with, and then focus on identifying shapes, textures, light/shadow, perspectives and depth. And also, try drawing "what you see" instead of "what you know". That is probably the hardest one. But it will help soo much with getting proportions looking "right". For example: you know that a face is basically "all you see" from the front, and we then tend to want to make the face "bigger" than it is, cuz it's the most important, right?! Thats why it can look weird in side-profile, for example. Because then the face suddenly only takes up maybe 1/4 of the head. And the eyes looks like they're on the cheek instead. One of my favorite exercises is to draw objects made of glass. 😅 Try it, you really have to concentrate on "what is it that I am seeing" and "how can i make it look like a warped upside-down Mr. Potato Head" Materials which is good to start learning how to sketch with, are pencils in hb, 2b, 4b and 6b. And maybe a pen or fineliner to give the last touches or contrasts needed. (And a stompf/stump, for soft blending) My guess is that the artist you mentioned is using a very soft pencil, for example 6b. But explore for yourself and see what you prefer. So fun to watch, and if you want anymore tips or whatevs, you can dm me on ig @elin.k.art 🥳👊 keep sketching!!

    As an artist with over a decade of experience (mostly in digital art), the best places to really get going is to study Porportions (NOT to be confused with anatomy though it ties closely), Building with simple shapes (spheres, cubes and cylinders), and sharp shading. As for what material your inspiration artist uses, it's both the paper type and the pencils. You can pick up any tin of various grades of hardness and experiment. As for the paper, its hard to tell but it looks to be of high quality but smooth, so its likely a hot press of some kind (Bristol board or just a plain old high quality sketchbook)

    @@mahumsiddique8323 not really. Although most digital artists branch off from traditional art, that's only because they didn't have the materials to be able to do it and also it takes them time to realize if they want to transition to digital art or not. But now, you can literally draw on your phone with your finger. So take it from me, and do whatever you think is right. If digital art is what you aim for then go for digital. Drawing traditionally first isn't a necessity, you only get a grasp of how your style should look and even then it's possible to achieve the same thing digitally. I've been both digital and traditional artist for almost 7 years, my traditional and digital artstyle differ. Even with digital, depending in whether I draw with my tablet or phone, I get 2 different art styles because I am more experienced with using one over the other. So yeah, starting from traditional doesn't give you any special boost at all. You can start straight from digital and work your way up from there. *A few tips from me if you go digital* : 1. Always know your program. Whether you're drawing on a phone, pad or pc it's important to see everything your software has to offer so that you can get the most out of your art by utilizing those tools. That being said, you don't need to overwhelm yourself into using every feature that your program provides, with time you'll realize which tools you prefer more. 2. It's ok to watch tutorials that don't use the same software you're using, since most art softwares tend to have same or similar features. Even if you're drawing on a phone you can watch tutorials that take place using pc software because those functions are most probably there depending on the app you use. 3. No need to go big on buying expensive equipment. You can literally make professional art with just your fingers, so just practice with what you have until you really feel ready to spend on a drawing tablet or pc. If you're looking for a tablet from the get-go, you can look for cheap alternatives with good reviews, a screen tablet or other expensive tools aren't necessary at the beginning or later even. Only spend on those if you have the money or if you really want to. Don't spend on them with the concept that they will immediately make your art look better since professional artists use them, because they won't. Whether the art looks good or not depends on your skill, not on the tool. 4. Do keep in mind that if you start drawing with a different tool and switch to a more advanced tool, your style will not stay consistent. In fact, it'll probably look worse than what you're expecting it to look. *Don't get demotivated* Practice with that new tool for a few weeks and it'll return to looking like your style if not even better or at least smth that you're proud of.

    @L i think gesture would be the way to go. Anatomy is smth you can just practice side by side with whatever you're focusing on practicing at the moment. So you don't really have to wait to study anatomy. Start off with the bit of anatomy that's comparatively easier and work your way up, alongside whatever you want to practice. Anatomy can get complicated and monotonous, so focusing solely on it might give you a headache, focus on other aspects too to give your art some fun flair and keep some time aside to learn anatomy specially. That way you're learning and improving at the same time.
