As a kid it was art, models, music. Now I have electronics, music, exercise and gaming. It kind of goes in spurts. I also learned a couple languages along the way. Now I'm so busy I look at my electronics bench, my shelf full of books a wish I had the time.

I have a question. If my main focus in the future will be cartoonish and/or animesque people, do I really need to learn how to draw from life? I started a couple of days ago and drew some random objects that was laying around the house, a couple of leaves etc, and in some other video I've watched another guy sayed that many beginner artist struggle to improve because they are trying to learn to many things to fast so now I wonder do I need to continue what I am doing or it will be just waste of time? do I need to learn how to draw some stuff from life first or just go straight to anime faces and human body? and ofcource thank you for your videos, they have been really helpfull

❤ ... Looking for art classes for my daughter and I'm gonna hop on to it too ... I love this.

Thank you for your videos. I'm going to use them to teach my kid, separating each skill for her to practice.

I am a artist

I just finished watching all 11 videos. As a self-taught artist, I was missing out on these essential lessons. You created these videos 10 years ago, and here I am in 2024, discovering and learning from them. Thank you so much for this invaluable content, sir!

Thanks. I'm 62 and gave been like you all my life. I've changed careers three times. And have had probably 15 hobbies as well as 6 or more sports, travel, languages, two children, professional certifications etc. arghh Setting aside specific times for the highest priorities and the most fulfilling things is an excellent method. Thank you for reminding me. Sometimes we just charge ahead and forget to stop and take stock. 👍🏽

Man is a life saviour

After 3 years of I'll draw from tomorrow now I'm really wanna things get on it wish good luck to me for my upcoming progress 😂 My English sucks since it's my second language nvm 😅

Amazing!!!! Thank you.

Me

drawing heads for a few months and i still cant do them right. Yet some teen can draw heads in every angle after only drawing for 3 months. I draw for hours and i still cant do it. There is somthing going on here. Oh yeah talent. here's a metaphor for you. The bird comes down to the fish and says "hey why dont you fly? flap your fins and i'm sure you will fly in no time" and so the Fish tried and tried and tried. Yet no matter how much the fish tried he could never fly. why? because he's born a fish. But the bird that has allways been able to fly cant understand why the fish cant do the same thing he's doing. "why cant that fish fly?" the bird says to himself. "I managed to fly through practise" he says "so why cant the fish do it?" Well its because the fish was born a fish and the bird was born a bird. Soo could the bird ever understand the fishes frustration? Short answer "he cant" because to him it comes naturally. Whilst the fish simply just cant. In short. People that are born with good observational skills cant even begin to understand what it takes for an avarage person with no observation skills to learn to draw. What took the talented person 3 years will take that other person 10 to 15 years and it all depends if he is drawing like a mad man non stop. Whilest the talented person just has to draw for 30 minutes to an hour and call it a day and retains the information with ease and then says "i worked hard" not even begining to comprehend what that really means to a normal person that draws for 5 to 6 hours aday and still cant produce the results that he or she wants.

That's a beautiful ball

Bro we have all the same hobbies except I like martial arts too, I feel like we could be bros 😂.

Good explanations and question answering.

As someone who is (almost) 72 yrs old, I can say that arthritis in my hands and grip strength issues are the biggest roadblocks to getting fine work done. It's demoralizing to see loss of motor skills, to even see our handwriting integrity decline. "Never say never" is fine and good, but I find it easier to go with this mantra, "Slow and steady wins the race." Actually at my age, there is no race. Simply finishing is its own lofty reward.

Amazing to hear you are learning the Malay language. It is a beautiful language. I am from Malaysia hence Malay is our national language. Like with most languages, I picked them up through listening to the expression of the language through songs. There are some wonderful Malay rock ballads (similar to Air Supply and Chicago but in Malay style). Happy learning 👍

thank is very useful to me.

i still remember, when i use to be litlle guy, I tried to learn drawing from this man

Looks like a great course and hopefully it will give me the confidence to have a go - thanks
