I can't believe it's been a year since I challenged myself to draw Monday-Friday every single week to develop my art style and learn digital illustration. My art has developed so much this past year and so I sat down and had a chat to my boyfriend about the progress I've made and my creative journey so far.
I hope you enjoy this video format, I'll be releasing another one soon about how I grew my Instagram account with my daily drawings, so stay tuned for that!

This was so relaxing and inspiring! I really love your sparkles and the way you draw plants. And WOW. 750 to 25k followers in a year, congratulations, that's incredible!

@MimimooIllustration 3 года назад

Thanks so much! My next video will be about how I grew my account on Instagram, so keep an eye out for that 🙂

@ilustralilian_ 2 года назад

I really loved this video. It’s really motivating. I’ll try do this. I know I won’t be able to every single day because I feel pain a lot. Sometimes I barely can’t move. But I’ll try with all my strength! Love your progress!

@anushiyairrulappen5352 2 года назад

Try it once in a while, i stopped drawing when i was trying to stop self harming for 2 years, now i cant draw anymore, i have just started again with small diy bookmarks...dont give up ..okay?

@terezamaslova4438 3 года назад

Oh Mimi, this was a super nice video to watch! How lovely to see your progress over the year, i have to say it is absolutely amazing, wow! Love how your colour palette developed and your characters are super sweet! Thank your for sharing this, it truly inspires me to create without a fear of not being perfect!!

@MimimooIllustration 3 года назад

Thank you so much for the kind words, Tereza! Letting go of expectations of perfection has probably been the best thing I've done for myself creatively, it really gives so much freedom! ❤

@anna-sophiegalley9042 2 года назад

I LOVED this video - thank you so much for sharing your journey! It’s so inspiring and I love how you’re not judgemental about your earlier work at all. Makes me wonder where I’d be if I started taking my art seriously today 🙈

@AionNoBara 2 года назад

This was so inspiring and relaxing, and happy and feel-good. I really love seeing WIPs for individual drawings, but to see your process grow was breathtaking. It makes me feel like I can do it too, a little at a time

@kira5612 Год назад

@raisacuan2824 2 года назад

I'm so glad to have stumbled upon your channel and learned from your tips and inspiring art journey. It also reflects in your art and I like how each and every art you make appears so whimsical and beautiful I could stare at them all day. I would like to grow with my art someday and overcome my fears and procastination. Thank you and more arts to come!

@sheilaLT 2 года назад

I just discovered you few days ago and you already inspired me so much! 🤩 I put myself for challenge to draw everyday for a month and I'm trying to find my style. I was never planning on becoming an illustrator, but drawing illustrations is something I always wanted to have in my skill set. And I'm looking to your drawing courses so much! Thank you ❤ Greetings from Lithuania, Central Europe ☺

@mariefriddlestudiostwistnp2925 2 года назад

I enjoyed this so much. You have such a pleasant way of speaking too. I honestly thought the early art you did was adorable and I wouldn't have thought twice of trying to improve it if it were me. But, you certainly did make great improvements! It was really inspiring to watch this and I feel very moved to start my own daily art challenge, realizing the importance of daily practice and accepting the fact that it won't happen over night. Thanks so much!

@ravenchick2 2 года назад

What an inspirational video. I love seeing your growth. I definitely need to work on my art daily.

@sweetfriendses Год назад

Thank you so much for sharing your progress line with us! This is super important to me and I've learned so much from you. I've only discovered your Instagram account this week but I feel that you have already changed my life 🤩 I'm a polymer clay sculptor but I love illustration and it has been a dream for me for a long time to become an illustrator too and give a different life to my characters. With all you have shared with us, you have given me even more desire to keep pursuing my dream without being afraid of sharing it with others. Looking at how you have evolved during your art journey is such an inspiration! Once again... thank you so much!!! 🥰

@brittanys5969 2 года назад

Wow you've made a lot of progress. I made it a point this year to get back into art after 3 years. I didn't make as much progress as I would have liked. But this was absolutely inspiring and encouraging!

@akashagremlin4307 2 года назад

I love your style so much! I am also trying to draw every day now. I stopped drawing because of the pressure i felt around it but by doing it every day i feel like i am in the process of making drawing mine again! By the way, love your colour palette !

@DamiBlankestino 2 года назад

Love both the simpler pencil illustrations and the digital ones! Where I really see a progression is in your compositions and creativity within the ‘whole image’ if that makes sense 😂 This was super relaxing to watch! I shall find you on Instagram :)

@MimimooIllustration 2 года назад

I agree! I definitely started experimenting more with composition after a while!

@ireneashamoses4209 2 года назад

@hihi615 2 года назад

I love your style, it's just aesthetic and simple (not like basic simple, but like, not doing too much, you know?). Most artists these days have so much going on at once in their art. It's not relaxed, almost too hyper. It's nice to see something relaxing in art, you know?

@Ashley_Joice 2 года назад

Mimi you made me smile through your art 🥰🥰🥰 i absolutely love them, i also wanna be better at my art sis, im gonna try to draw everyday too sis

@MimimooIllustration 2 года назад

@thecatthatateaflyinduoling2513 2 года назад

All I could think while seeing your art is Children literature and bedtime stories! These would look great as illustrations for bedtime story books. I hope authors hire you to do illustrations for them❤

@ree2519 2 года назад

I like your drawing so much!😆🌸While watching, I relax and feel happy. Where did you study how to drawing?

@MimimooIllustration 2 года назад

Oh thank you! I studied a little bit of art at university but mostly watched videos online and did lots of practise!

@madelovinglycrochet 2 года назад

I love this I have just started exploring illustration and have dived straight into digital with Procreate on an iPad but I love the idea of going back to basics to help me practice as I don’t have a lot of control on the app. I also love the idea of drawing everyday how did you come up with your ideas of what to draw each day? X

@MimimooIllustration 2 года назад

Great idea! Sometimes the added frustration of knowing how to technically achieve what you want in a drawing software makes things extra difficult until you get the hang of things. I went for a little walk every morning to let my mind wander, and if I still wasn't inspired I would join an art challenge on Instagram or ask a friend what I should draw 😊

@madelovinglycrochet 2 года назад

@@MimimooIllustration thank you you’ve been really inspiring I have already found myself looking at things in a different way there really is inspiration everywhere x

@droy589 Год назад

MImi, how did you progress from super simple drawings to giving definitions and lines to the drawings that made them more realistic? Did you watch other videos or was it just from within you? For example, the hair was simple earlier, but later on, there were lines and flowy hair showing movement in the drawing. How did you do this? I would love to know it, as I am a beginner too.

@PCGEEK2024 2 года назад

What drawing tablet do you use? Like your style.

@nailanayla1564 2 года назад

@SaraDott 4 месяца назад

I'm drawing every day but I don't have a style, and my skills are poor. :( I can see no improvement for those reasons and I feel discouraged😢 Your illustrations are amazing❤

@annej7299 2 года назад

Thank you for sharing this. What I really don’t understand is how you had such consistent style from the get go? As I’m learning I’m going from different styles and doing things, I like comic cartoon style but I also love this cute style, I love digital paintings, I love simple vector, so I have no idea how to build a business/ following when I’m all over the place :/ Should I just pick one style and learn that well and just present that? Thank you.

@MimimooIllustration 2 года назад

It's totally ok to enjoy different styles and be experimenting with them! In my art journey video I show some examples of different art I made from all sorts of styles when I was a teenager or at university. I think on Instagram because I was only drawing in coloured pencil for a while it helped it look fairly consistent, but if you're experimenting with different mediums I think that's great 😊

@FlorenceRobbiano Год назад

Really cool video! I would love to hear more about your artistic journey. Because in your video, its sounds like you say your started only in 2020? Tell me you learned how to draw before starting this channel. Or it will be depressing for most of us 😂

@darcy13111 2 года назад

Would u ever consider making your own how to draw people I can't find anything similar I love the way you draw people 💕

@chbnbelle3314 Год назад

Can u pls tutor how to draw hair! I admire your art

@palakmehta365 2 года назад

How did you know you wanted to do these kinds of cute illustrations? I usually do watercolor landscapes, but i want to find my nice, does anyone have any tips?

@KeishaSalmonArtist 2 года назад

How did you get your traditionally drawn images to be so bright when you post them? I find mines are so dark.

@xiennamariebretana1620 2 года назад

Hi! Do you sell brush sets as well?

@nenny.septiana 3 года назад

Hi, will you make a post here or IG about why do you use Photoshop instead of Procreate? I guess people are so into Procreate that not very many use Photoshop. So, those who use Photoshop may have a fresh p.o.v. related with their creative journey :)

@MimimooIllustration 2 года назад

Hi! Yes I could make something about using Photoshop, I mostly use it because I already have the software for graphic design work and also because I don't own an iPad. I'd like to try Procreate one day so that I can compare them!

@dianawatercolor Год назад

I mean... The fact that from day 1 your pics were already super beautiful. I mean, I can see the improvement, of course, but you are really talented. :DDD You have inspired me so much, I'm doing something similar thanks to you! Lots of love!!!

haii can you enable your subtitles please?? even the auto generated one is a huge help!!

@MimimooIllustration 2 года назад

Ahh sorry I thought I had fixed captions but they still won't work for this video! I'll sort out manual subtitles for this one, thanks for letting me know they weren't working!

@MimimooIllustration 2 года назад

The video now has captions! I have updated it with manual captions as youtube would not auto generate for this one.
