Another tip, don't try to make a masterpiece if you lack the ability to draw the average characteristics in a good drawing, this will only make you become frustrated. Don't expect a masterpiece if you haven't been drawing and learning for a good amount of time. Edit: this is sort of harsh, let me rephrase it. Don't feel bad if you can't make a piece that you like immediately, because practice is something needed to create art. If you really want to get into art, expecting good results too quickly may break your confidence. You must remember that no good artist starts out perfect, no good artist starts the same way they end up.

Destinee Duran It's almost like we need art autocorrect. So then when it changes it to something "correct", you can change it again because it is wrong and you know your original thing was what you wanted.

FOR ME IT'S JUST. ANY COLOURING. ANYTHING. WITH. COLOUR. F THAT SHIT.

I think another important piece of advice is to really take into account how you are positioning your hands and body. If you aren't careful, you can really hurt yourself by not taking care of your hands. Drawing from the wrist is bad over time as it stresses out the joint and can lead to carpal tunnel and other painful conditions. Giving yourself regular breaks, hand/wrist stretches, and doing more movement from your elbow and shoulder can do a lot to prevent injury. Having your work space at an angle instead of flat on a table can really help too. Not taking care of you hands can eventually lead to being unable to do what you love, so it's very important to learn this as quick as possible! It's advice I wish I had listened to sooner; wrist pain makes it difficult for me to work on anything for extended amounts of time. On another note, lovely advice in this video. I think it is something I will share with anyone I know who is trying to get into making art as I never have the words to express what you have said so well. : 3

This was such a good video! Thanks for the great advice 😄👍

I say that Tracing is OKAY. If you post it, credit the artist but I learned how to draw from tracing and now I'm fairly good at it. People always say "Oh, you can't draw if you trace, you're just copying people. It's not real art." That may be the case, but you can still LEARN from it. Let people learn and teach themselves.

Everyone learns in different ways. I learned to draw through tracing, then moved to visual replication, and then to drawing my own stuff. Finally I arrived at trying out different mediums and finally setting on charcoal as one of my main mediums. It is a very valid way to start if that helps you. If only it makes you want to draw more, then that is helping you. Tracing inspired me to draw, so I started drawing. If I hadn't started with tracing i doubt I would be where I am today. I doubt I would have ever seriously drawn.

@ulyssemartinfrigault1021

LeadPencil-223 To be honest with you. I think tracing is a good idea. It's kinda like when your teacher gives you the answer to your math problem, and you need to find the right path to find the answer he or she had. So I completely agree with you statement. But we have to learn how to draw these things without tracing them sooner or later.

this video was so great, and I'm adding tips for people who also like digital art: - there are plenty of free softwares, do your research and figure out which program works best for you - LEARN ABOUT LAYERS (seriously I had a hard time with this one) - tablets can be really expensive, so I recommend going to art youtubers who have been sponsored by companies and you can get a discount - even if you want to work digitally, pls learn traditional first (this is kinda like the fundamentals she mentioned in the video) - tell the people who say digital art is not real art to fuck off

I was really shocked when i started reading the comments of the video and i was really confused by how can someone think this is offensive? I'm a beginner and of course not all this tips would work for me but why to consider that offensive? this girl is taking time to help US beginners and artists in general, she's trying to help and if the help doesn't work for you just don't take it, her intention was good and that what counts! Thank you alice for doing this for us, your words are so motivational and as always you brought me such an amazing help! btw the drawing is stunning!

i was at my desk and saw the thumb nail and was like " pssssshhhhh i could draw that ..." *tries* " what monstrosity have i created 😨"

To people getting offended... She's entirely right. When drawing as a hobby, it's fine to disregard these TIPS (not orders nor strict rules), but when it comes to a career in art - there are regulations. It is a very competitive, very unstable, very difficult career. I myself am no artist - i like to draw but there is no way I am cut out for a career in art. However, I am seeking a career in the theatre - which is actually a much more stable career (that's saying something). Therefore, the complexity of an art career entirely astounds me. Work hard and dream big - but do be realistic. Good luck!

Truth be told, you aren't going to improve in 3 years. You aren't even going to be producing great art in 10 years. I'm 23 this year and i've ALWAYS been creative, i've always enjoyed the act of drawing. From drawing circles with lines on the top for hair and a basic smiley face as heads to drawing anime and been able to replicate anime/manga work if its in front of me. I'm self taught and honestly? I only recently started feeling proud of my progress and my work. I started taking this seriously over a decade ago. I can still see many areas in which I need to improve. I draw multiple pictures, filling up whole pages in my notepads almost every single day for over 10 years. Everyone tells me my artwork is great and is good enough to be published, but I don't see that, I don't think it's nearly good enough yet. There's still too many inconsistencies in it. You've got to really put the effort in, art is something you've got to dedicate your life to. If something isn't working, try something else. Practise. Not by drawing full art pieces and hoping they turn out good but practise by learning the basics, the fundamental shapes of the objects you want to draw, learn to see the things you want to draw in the shapes that make them and not as the object as a whole. Draw pages and pages of hands in various poses until you get sick of doing so and repeat for all other parts of the drawings, then keep doing it. That's the only way you'll truly improve.

Hi :) I really like the color combo you used and the combination with text on the screen! Very visually appealing. Keep up the good work.

This is a very helpful video as one of my new years resolutions is to improve on my art, particularly anatomy. Thank you so much for uploading this video, it has shed some light on how I should go about things and improve my art for not only myself but my youtube channel too!!! :)

These are really good tips. Sometimes, as a beginner, it's easy to try and compare yourself to others and get discouraged at mistakes. But this is a good reminder to let go of that 😊 I love the pink hair 😍

And not worrying about my style! I was so worried and I wanted to find my style, but realising that I don't need to stress about it, helps a lot!! Love your videos and love that they're more frequent right now. You are so talented, love you!!

Alice I am so thankful for you. Your art has inspired me so much. At the beginning of my 6th grade year I was afraid to open up and sketch during art class. I had my art teachers look over my art and she said "You have Potential, just believe in yourself." I searched up some art videos on KZread and you were in my recommended. I tapped on your video and it started playing, as I got into your video I sat down in the middle of art class and started drawing. A kid I didn't know said "Wow you're so good" now I feel I have more confidence. Watching your videos inspire me everyday. I can't even say how thankful I am for you creating this amazing KZread channel and just being the person you are. I love you so much❤️❤️❤️

You are amazing Alice. When I made my first comment I was still fresh into art and my art style was all over the place. They had little to no detail and didn't look that great. Today I can do portraits that are almost life like because you gave me the motivation and the encouragement to keep drawing. I stopped for a long time and over the last 2 months my ability to draw and sketch has changed drastically because I would draw every day no matter what it was. I look up to you. You are an amazing person, artist, and someone I am proud and grateful to have learned from. I may not make a career from my art but I can now put my visions on paper. All thanx to you, Alice. Thank you so much for making these videos. You encourage young artists like me to keep drawing even when its hard. I am eternally grateful.

Great tips! I know a lot of people don't like to hear that classes help, but if you can, classes totally help! Even for people that don't enjoy class environments like myself.

Yes. I didn't really start to learn anatomy until I was a good maybe 4-5 years into taking art seriously and I still struggle with it over 10 years on. Learning it as soon as possible will definitely be a big step in improving your art and remember, never give up. You may or may not like what you produce but one day, maybe in 5 years, maybe in 10, maybe even in 20, the day that you look at a piece of work and can see it for how good it is, will come. If you ever get discouraged, don't worry, we all do sometimes. The trick is to not let that stop you doing what you love.

Shadow Hime As a fellow 12 year old, yes, it will. Anatomy is just breaking down the human body into smaller pieces that you can study one at a time. If you spend enough time looking at and studying the basic concept of the human body drawing it will come to you naturally, or at least more naturally than if you don't. I've always been interested in anatomy and started learning it when I was 6, now I am a lot farther ahead than most people my age when it comes to drawing, not trying to be rude. So, in short, yes.

cheetahgaming10 panda okay so I'm currently 13, when I was 11 I was horrible at drawing, but now I am fairly good and most people I know say I'm amazing. I've been drawing consistently for around five months now and my art style has changed so much and it's crazy. Practice practice practice. It doesn't take long for you to become better. It is hard though.

I can't help but think of you as an artist Junko Enoshima...your voice just sounds a lot like hers

Alice your a real inspiration for me. You calm me down all the time a specially when I am studying. Thx sooooo much. You are the colour of my picture.

Great tips, especially the one about practicing constantly. It's hard to get into the habit of drawing every day but I have watched loads of artists on youtube start to do this challenge and improve drastically. I think this has a lot to do with your next tip, as artists we really have to let go of perfectionism and the fear of making something "ugly". In the end it doesn't matter what the picture looks like, just that fun was had while it was made and that the picture might be able to communicate something.

I'm very open to criticism. but most of the time my sister forces me to show her my pictures. and she looks at it and just gives me a weird face. and i know when she looks like that she doesnt like it so now I just dont show anybody my pictures

They are definitely just jealous. They see you are happy doing art so they want to take your happiness away because they are not happy. Make them even more jealous with your skills as you continue to get better :)

You are an amazing artist! Omg I can’t even explain how glad I am to have come across your KZread channel! Your soooo freaking good!❤️

This video hit me on a personal level..so inspiring!!! And your drawing *oh* *my*... and the colouring *drools*

This looks so much like sombra from overwatch!

it's ihascupquake :0

Thank you Alice!!! Your videos are really awesome! I love the way you draw! I loved the drawing of this video so much I redid it in my own sketchbook. I hope you keep doing such great videos!😁

This inspired me so much to continue my quest on being an accomplished artist. I, for one, really love art but want to pursue something else as my career. Thank you for all the advice!

pretty pop I think she meant anatomy and art basics, like rythym and balance.

Eh... There are kind of rules. Even the most abstract piece needs balance and appeal. If you're drawing people, even cartoons, there's anatomy, structure, line of action, posing. There are rules, the funny thing is a lot of them you would follow without even noticing. Because the main rule of art: be proud, have fun, make it great :)

Locket Angel There aren't. Art could be anything

Am I the only one who draws SO GOOD if I stop drawing for a long time? Then I draw so crappy when I PRACTICE ALL THE TIME?

That was really helpful. You inspired me to immediately go learn about anatomy. You also inspired me to lay off the graphite, and look to my water color paints. Thank you.

Your voice was just so sweet, I wanted to watch the video until the end while drawing that beautiful picture. This is the first of your videos I had the pleasure to watch and I ensure you this was the first of many ones for this new subscriber.

a lot of these are really hard for me

Sorry but I do not follow Rule 2 beacause I am a very huge fan of Undertale and wanted to draw all characters. Anyways, my style in Rule 6 is #UndertalePixelArt. Rule 7 is I learned from Toby Fox. Check his project in www.kickstarter.com/games/undertale. Rule 8: I do not follow this rule beacause I have 0 hate and 7.5 billon likes.

The picture you were drawing looked like Sombra...

Excellent tips! Not getting bogged down playing the comparison game is good to keep in mind too; that can be so discouraging. Love the piece in this video by the way!

I absolutely LOOVE YOUR NOSES! They always turn out beautifully, especially in this one, where you get a side view.

Am I the only one who thinks the girl in the drawing looks like a Goat?

ALL EXCELLENT ADVICE. ... Thanks for sharing. I myself need to be reminded of most of your top 10 on a regular basis. lol never give up, never surrender . THANKS

the tips look helpful, your attitude was kind and upbeat, and the drawing while talking is a great and creative way to keep a viewer stimulated and focused at the same time. 10/10, bro.

Thanks for mentioning live models, we have a great respect for artists that do their best and want to learn from life. I appreciate the vid, keep it up!

This video is amazing, it really helped me. I never look at anatomy but now that you've explained how it is so important I am gonna try and get better at it. I'm a self taught 12 year old artist and I wish I could give up sometimes because my 'friends' don't like my art because its not up to their standards. I am very stubborn so i hate when people criticise my art so it gets me down and i feel like i suck and that I'm never going to get better, but this video helped inspire me to keep doing what im doing. Well done. Oh, BTW that watercolour you did was really good. :)

Alice, you are truly amazing. I think I really figured out my style today. It makes me so happy. I think I'm becoming a true artist. Now for my tip: Use multiple things. I'll sketch something on neon paper so I know it's not the final draft. Then, I'll make it better digitally. I'm still working on it, but I'm willing to put my all into being an artist.

This was so helpful and encouraging! Giving up is the worst thing anybody can do with a special talent that they have it if hey have a hobby or interest that they like really well.

I honestly love ur tips they help me stay motivated it makes me want to continue and work harder to become a better artist thank u❤

Thank you so much! I'm an aspiring digital artist/painter and this truly inspired me. You've earned a new subscriber! :)

Just wanted to thank you for this video

Thanks! This was great for me cuz I've been a little down and haven't really had the time to practice the basics like hands, feet and hair and I feel like I'm bad at making originals. But I'm gonna keep it up and practice more! Thanks again!

this is so inspirational! i love how it was a mix of actual tips and inspiration 💕

I really enjoyed this video :) i like how you dont talk down to the artsist or act agressive when taking about how people say "its my style!" like some of these top videos seem to do

Just subscribed and already loving your videos. I personally loved this video because it opened up my eyes a little and helped me see things that could help my drawing.

Thank you so much for the helpful tips! I really did hear stuff I hadn't thought of before, I appreciate it :)

I don't know why but i love your voice 😂❤️ I loved the tips! I always have trouble accepting it when people say im a good artist, or when they say like "oh your so good! I can't even draw a stick figure!" Then i wanna scream "BUT YOU CAN DRAW" and then i point out all the things or mistakes i made in the drawing.

Wow your my favourite artist KZreadr. You have showed me that not all artists use copic markers. Some use pencil crayons (I'm Canadian) and get just as colourful work! You have inspired a new subscriber.

As she was talking about the basics of art, my mind immediately went to my art class and what we learned in the beginning of the year.

This has been the best tip video I've seen all day. Thank you so much for making this.

I love this video! I have wanted to get into art for YEARS and just recently started really getting into it. This video addresses the exact fears that were holding me back! It's very insightful and helpful, thank you for making it! P.S. that drawing is so beautiful omg

when I watch your videos, I look at things you do (for ex: how you draw mouths and noses) And use them to help myself improve :)

Such nice tips for young artists 😃 I honestly do like, as well, the push and pull effects you created with your time lapse creating 😄

Thank you! Ahh this was sooo helpful!! The final picture you drew was beautiful by the way.

Thank you for this. This really helped me get my mind straight over the art

Thanks for sharing! I'm a painter and tattoo apprentice. Always learn new stuff!

These were very straightforward and helpful tips. Thanks for the video!

This was super helpful thank you! I've totally been having troubles with confidence in my work. other people will say it's great but I know i can do better i just feel like I've hit my limit. but this really helped

Great tips! One thing I also found was when drawing from a reference photograph it really helps to take a picture of your work and overlay it in a program such as photoshop to see where your piece and the actual reference differs. It definitely helps with placing and proportions :)

I like these type of videos, I’m a self taught drawer and I watch these videos to get inspiration and it just helps abit

these tips were really helpful becaude im an art GCSE student and i completely agree that art stresses you out but it can also be a happy place and a statement to the world 💕

I've never seen watercolor pencils used before!!! Have to get! Love the artwork, looks like I've found a new medium to play with!

I just love how you did the hair for this one!

This is really good advice, because I've been trying to shut out people from my work, and tried my best to hide it. Also I try to avoid things I can't draw

Thanks for this I'm getting super stressed out about having a style, so this helped me relax. Very helpful

I really love this video! It's great and helped me do much! It even inspired me for a drawing! Thanks ❤
