I tried to learn anatomy in one week (ep. 3) 

Yes dish !! Learning something is never a waste no matter how minor the progress is ..keep practicing ..waiting to see you become a great artist

As ana rtist myself, i just wanna let you know. When learning anatomy, yes, it's good to learn about muscles, tendons, and bone structure, but you don't need to know abt every single muscle and tendon in the human body, you just need to learn how to break the body into basic shapes to make it easier to draw

Real amazed by your dedication and talent in this. We will all be supporting you till the end!

I have never pressed a notification so fast

as an amateur artist who decided 2 months ago to take a year off to entirely focus on improving my art, this series of yours is so enjoyable to watch! you're doing great!

This series has honestly been so motivating. I had always been on and off with drawing/practicing, but just kept putting it off for lack of motivation or just because I was busy. However, seeing you having the self discipline to commit to a hobby, in this case drawing, it has definitely inspired me and made me start to see things from a different perspective. Keep up the amazing work, dish

dish: *posts a drawing vid* me: *takes out my notebook and pencil out of thin air* TIME TO DRAW WITH DISH AGAIN!!! No fr seriously, I really really love drawing while watching your vids! It pumps me up! Love ya Dish! Keep up the good work :D 💖💖

I'm honestly so amazed by your progress and persistence. I've been drawing for nearly 10 years now and have always found that I progress slower. Watching you learn how to draw and being so wise about it has honestly inspired me to learn more myself. Can't wait to draw along with you during your streams and these videos

I recommend watching speedpaints or others make a drawing from start to finish, that's what i did for a long time and i have definitely learned alot from just watching others draw and paint. This way you can learn what to focus on in what order, because i can imagine it is very overwhelming to know what to start learning first. I've watched your other videos on this series and i'll be following you on this journey 🐣!

As an artist in artblock, this has really motivated me, thank you so much, I am so proud of how fast you are learning, please never be discouraged, I love taking this journey with you, and I'm sure alot of people too.

yes the hand is difficult, but wait till you get to the feet XD always delighted to watch this series! How I learned is that I try to practice and focus on one part of the body at a time, even if I'm drawing an entire body. Like one time the way I draw the face was great and the rest of the body looks wonky, but slowly but surely I moved on to other parts of the body, and I even managed to master (a bit) the hands last year! Now I have to work on the feet ahahahaha. Slowly but surely and one at a time dish! Always rooting for you!

"you will watch my practice" has the same energy as "239 days 23 hours 23 minutes"

this series has inspired my so much dawg. I've been having of trouble getting myself to draw lately, but seeing you get out there and learn really helped me and I recently finished a collab that i've been working on for moths! so thanks for that

A good way to learn anatomy is to simplify the body into shapes as you did in your previous weeks. It's important to study the dimension of the body and it's curves, bodies aren't flat or stuff they are full of curves and expression depending on what your drawing. That's my tip haha

Looking forward to more episodes! You are doing so well!

You inspire me to actually do it too. I've always wanted to learn to draw to illustrate the stories I want to write but I always found a way to get out of it by doubting myself and my journeys

So proud of your progress Dish! Looking forward to more

this series is so inspirational i'm also on the journey of learning to draw and learning alongside others and knowing that i'm not in this alone is so encouraging. you're making so much progress keep it up!!!!

im smiling so much, this is an amazing journey so far!! it makes me look back on my own and im happy to see other people discovering the happiness of seeing your art improve

I would recommend maybe focusing on one part of anatomy at a time such as head, arms, legs, main torso or even just hands then learn to put those together later on. This could be a way to not overwhelm yourself and just do it in a relaxed way!!

Was super excited for this vid after the stream today! Great job as always, love your work.

Tbh you’re really good at it! Anatomy is really important and really hard and I think you nailed it!! 💕💕 I recommend drawing the same portrait every time when you do your self portrait so in the end you could actually see did you improved or not. It’s just my recommendation and hope it works well for you💕💕.

What I know about drawing figures: When drawing a person woth clothing on, it's good to sketch out their full body first. Some pieces like skirts and oversized clothes can really mess with anatomy, so itis good to draw the whole body under clothes first, so you don't get lost later trying to figure out where everything goes.

It's really fascinating seeing your journey starting out as an artist because it helps me remember things that I dont think about anymore when drawing. A good refresher! Seeing you be so positive about your progress makes me really happy. I look forward to how much you'll improve in a year

dish, you're literally doing amazing, your artwork has improved a lot, i'm very proud of you!!!

this is so inspiring dish, I've been more consistent on my drawing process because of yours, this has encouraged me to keep learning. You are doing amazing, I'm still really surprised of how much you have improved, keep the good work and enjoy the process.

this series is really fun to watch, really excited for the next ones !!

I absolutely love your learning journey! And the self reflection part about not giving up! Super inspiring thank you so much! 😊

can’t wait to binge watch this entire series next year good luck! I’ve decided to pick back up digital art, so im following your yearlong journey! we’re in this together.

Yo I think more important than anatomy is practicing gesture, proportion and shape. Once you feel like you are confident in that, anatomy is the next step. Learning anatomy when not grasping basic art skill can be very frustrating and discouraging. If shift your focus more to dynamic and appealing looking art, you'll be a lot happier learning and creating. (In my experience)

You're doing soooooo gooood. It looks so good already. Keep going! I'm rooting for you

I love listening to your reflection on your progress and learning. You're so cool, Dish

I’m already so proud of you Dish

your closing thoughts and ‘no wrong way to draw’ was really eye-opening to me. i’m an artist who has been drawing for a really long time and i guess i’m pretty decent at it. but from time to time i still feel bad about my art ( usually when i see people younger than me drawing really well haha ). i can draw faces.. well i thinK but my body anatomy still needs a bit of work. even though people say i’m good at drawing, i can still see things i can keep working on. this is something i’ve always liked about drawing, it’s that i can see my improvement. i’m really excited to see your progress dish and your improvement from 3 weeks ago is really big! i’m glad the bad thoughts don’t stop you from you’re goal. i wish you good luck for the future and us youtube & twitch frogs will always support you

Both the speed and focus you have really inspires me! I hope you'll able to get to your desired goal!

Your drawing videos are really inspiring! I got myself a drawing pad a few years ago and wanted to learn digital drawing like you are, but I never got into forcing myself to draw so I stopped. I'll need to schedule a time for me to draw everyday! :) Looking forward to your progress, and other genshin content!

I’ve been an artist my entire life and I cannot stress enough how much I LOVE this series!! Your self-reflection parts of the videos are always so inspiring and overall I love these

I LOVE THE EYE DRAWING SO MUCH the colors you choose works really well together, your shading is getting better despite not focusing on that area yet, im looking forward for the next episode. We're cheering for you Dish! :DD

awww this is so aspiring dish! love seeing your progress

Youre doing so well omg i look forward to these videos every week out of like any other creator on here now

I love this type of video ms dish! I can totally feel your sincerity in learning how to draw because what you feel is exactly how I felt all these years. It felt like I am walking alongside you in this art journey too! May we be the artist we wanna be and may we able to fight all the negative thoughts coming in our way. You got this!

These were so good! We're so proud of you dish! Keep going!!

Aaaaa dish this series is so inspiring ;u; ive been drawing for well over a decade now, but honestly.... seeing someone just beginning their own journey while not unnecessarily bashing their own art and process is such a breath of fresh air C: I often see new artists fall into art-envy in a non-productive way so easily... it’s honestly a skill in and of itself to not be discouraged by it. I think that you have been doing great with these!! And I can’t wait for what lays in the future :D

dish u're an inspiration ❤️ ive always been demotivated to learn art because of how insecure i am about my own art, but seeing ur dedication and commitment really does make me want to as well. all the best for your progress and art journey :)

Hi dish, I have really been enjoying this series so far and watching you grow!! As someone who struggled with drawing humans for a period of time, one thing that helped me was learning proportions (like how big the body is in relation to the head and the legs, how long the arms should be etc). Even though not every drawing needs to be proportionate (like if I'm stylising something) it gives a reference point for me to start with! All the best!!!

Nice seeing you try new things out! Hope you had a good time learning anatomy :D

its so cool seeing someone older learn art, i've been drawing since i was a kid and have been steadily improving for years now and seeing you show your learning process is really interesting and gives me motivation to keep improving :D keep it up dish!

It’s going so well, I was surprised at how well you did at anatomy by practicing only for one week! Keep going Dish and I’m sure you’ll be amazing at art in no time!

keep it up dish i love these series especially seeing your progress. :)

dish ily, youre doing great! you inspire me to be a better person all through out and im really thankful for that

i have taken a break from most genshin cc and socmed in general because of the concurring events in our country which left most of the people very demotivated. but u ms dish made me become hopeful with this new series, truly helping me out to try and get back up again. thank you so much

Im so excited to join dish on her journey to becoming an artist! Aghhhh its so exciting seeing someone starting thisssss

Loving the series so much keep it up!

i'm so grateful for this series, dish! as someone who wants to start art but doesn't know how to start, this is really inspiring.

Dish i simply love ur art videos, pls continue

As always, love this series, keep up the good work!

you're doing amazing Dish! really really looking forward to more of these! love you

thank you for this series dish!!! this really comforts me as a current art student :) donut worry about not mastering anatomy, because you can always come back to it later when you are more confident.

it's so fun to draw while watching your videos! thanks for the motivation dish, you're great

i'm LOVING this series!!!!!!!!!! keep learning and remember to also enjoy the process

You are progressing so quick and AAAAAAA IM SO HAPPY FOR YOUUU!

Dish, you're progressing so much and honestly it s really inspiring watching your series. Also i would recommend you try doing a quick practice in which you draw for 10 minutes (like for example find difrent poses and draw each for about about a minute), i think it could really help you practice the line of movement and action in your art, doing quick sketches is really fun and relaxing, it s a great way of seeing the bigger picture an recognizing movement and basic shapes of which our body is made of. That being said thank you for the amazing series and keep going, you're doing great, we're proud of you!

Good luck Dish on your art journey!! We will learn together and get to everyones goals in art!

dish you’re learning so fast it’s really impressive! good job! :D

Hey dish!! I just wanna say, this series is great! I know art is quite hard but tutorials help alot! Its great that you're learning about art, im also learning how to draw an anime/real life eyes and also about hairstyles for my drawings, overall this series is pretty helpful to be honest

Dish you’re doing amazingg!!!! I would say to try and combine what you’ve learned about shape and forms into anatomy. Like having a square or oval shape for the torso and so on. Using shapes as a base for drawing a body is super helpful so I recommend you give it a try. Alsoo, when if you want to test your skills a bit, when drawing a person that has clothes on, that’s mostly covering their body, I recommend trying to figure out where the rest of their body is under it(if that makes sense). But once again you’re doing amazingly and we’re all super proud of youu!!!

wowow i love seeing the progress already!! one tip i have since you are learning digital specifically, is to take a deep dive on learning as much about your art program as possible, learn how brushes work; how to modify and create them, learn as many tools as you can, layer adjustments, blending modes, etc. just really explore the program because the great thing about digital is that there are so many ways to create and modify and play around, and digital allows for a lot of shorthands that can save a lot of time while producing very cool results! i mean ive been using photoshop for art for almost 9 years now and i STILL learn new tricks. keep at it i cant wait to see what you make!!

Thank you! You doing this makes me so inspired

Ahahhahshajskdjwbwodiw I'm so excited for this series, you've already made so much progress and I'm looking forward to following you throughout this journey!

Dish Draws! This has been so encouraging to keep practicing with my own art, so thank you so much for sharing! Those lips you drew, and that nose though!!! Those are 2 parts of the face that I STRUGGLE with lol. For finding a place to start, or where to go next, I totally get, I’m the same way. Something I found has helped me figure out where to start and where to go next is looking at my art and picking one part about it that I want to work on and improve. Like for a little while I really didn’t know how to draw faces, so I watched videos and practiced specifically on how to draw faces overall. Then I picked eyes, cuz I didn’t like the way I drew them at the time, I did the same with proportioning a face, noses, hair, and coloring. It might help for breaking down all that anatomy too? Picking smaller parts of anatomy that you’ve learned about, like first the face, then hands, then torsos, hips, how to connect them? Or something like that. Totally up to you if that’s a method you’d like to consider in the future, but like you said, there really is no right way to learn art, but maybe this will help finding YOUR way to learn art a little easier. Ultimately it is ABSOLUTELY UP TO YOU! THIS IS YOUR JOURNEY, and remember you really are doing ABSOLUTELY AMAZING. Can’t wait for the next one!

We are supporting you Dish!!! You are improving very fast and it's surprising while im here who improved in roughly 3 years But we are proud to see you try something new and the voice over is really good

they look amazing dish, keep up the good work!!

I’ve been always trying to learn how to draw but never had any motivation, but seeing you learn motivated me to try to actually learn to draw again! I’m also really impressed with how you improved in just a couple of weeks!!

i just like how dish speedruns the yeet out of drawing theory in 3 weeks. 😭

Thank you for sharing this journey with us! Learning art can be really personal and I know how hard it can be to be vulnerable like this. Good job Dish! ❤️

love your mindset!! super inspiribg

You’re doing great Dish!! The most important thing is to stay motivated and keep going and practice consistently. No one masters anatomy in a week, even as an artist who hv been drawing for a while, I still struggle with anatomy from time to time!! I do suggest learning gestures as gestures will help your figure look more natural. I really can't wait to see your progress!! Good luck on your journey, remember no pressure, take enough break and most of all have fun!!

I love this series. The best advice i got in learning art is that just draw everyday, no matter how simple or complex that drawing. Over time you'll get used to it and you'll see the areas you can improve. Just enjoy drawing, treat it as past time.

Wow thoes poses look awesome dish! When you where talking about how you didn't think you where learning right or in the right order I honestly could relate but then you said "it doesn't matter how I'm doing it as long as I'm doing somthing I am learning" that gave me some confidence and inspired me to keep trying tysm for this series dish I really love them:)))

I am really looking forward every week for your drawing video and I really hop that someday i'll have time to involve myself like you do ! It is really cool Love what you do just continue it is amazing

Love to see your improvement dish!

I actually tuned into your art stream! Although I'm not sure if you did both anatomy and shading in that one, I love that you still end up doing both!

you are so good already! good job dish, good job

I LOVE THIS SERIES SO MUCH ❤️❤️❤️❤️

i just started learning drawing too so it's very comforting watching someone I love do it at the same time :D

PROUD OF UR PROGRESS DISH,ILYSM💕💃

Hey Dish! It’s so cool to see your progress and your ambition in becoming a better artist! As an artist it’s inspiring! One concept that’s helped with my mental hurdles concerning digital painting (that’s also really helped with my drawing) is breaking things down into really simple shapes. Ian Roberts has multiple really really good videos on this and also demonstrates them very clearly. Thought they might help you in your art journey!

I don't know if you're taking advice, but for learning anatomy I recommend figure sketching / gesture drawing -- quick sketches with emphasis on proportions and posing over detail and polish. Specifically, start with skeletal proportions first, then after you've got that down you can start on basic muscle groups and go from there Anatomy is the most foundational thing for drawing human figures. It's the base upon which everything else is built upon -- posing, emotion, lighting and shadows, clothing design and behavior, etc. A basic understanding of human anatomy will go a long way to making all of those other things considerably easier to grasp There's no wrong way to learn art, but there are some ways to learn a little quicker! :)

Ngl your progress is absolutely astonishing, what you did in 3 *WEEKS* (!!) took me months! Don’t give up! 💗💗

Yeeeey more Dish drawing! I’m amazed at the progress! I’ve been in the same situation as you, tried to learn to draw and stopped for 1,5 years. Your videos are a great motivation to continue and not give up! I’m now trying to get back into it. Personally, I think more time should be spent on anatomy, before going directly into shading. The way I would go about it is dividing anatomy into smaller parts instead of tackling the whole thing at once since it’s a pretty broad subject. For example, u can first focus on the head face and hair, then on the anatomy of the body, and then on hands and feet. Of course it’s just my opinion, and it might not work since everyone learns differently, so u don’t have to follow it, but that’s the process that I would follow.

Heyho, Dish! I just wanted to say that no matter what, you’re doing an amazing job and you’ve improved so much in just like three weeks!! I’m really proud of you, don’t give up on it, try to overcome artblock etc, I am really sure you will be able to!

keep it up im learning with you!! im sure oneday we all will be good at anything

I've been a fan of your genshin content and as a fellow artist I'm so happy to see art content as well!

yeehh booii another art stuff :D . And a great timing too cause I'm also learning anatomy this year.

Love this videos, keep it up

I love these series

I'm so proud of you giving your best!! You are already improving so much since your first drawing video :0, btw in the future are you going to try out cartoony styles or stick with realistic?

as an artist all i can say is YOU’RE ALREADY SO GOOD AT THIS. you’ll be amazing at the end of the year i swear😭

WOAH UR SO GOOD AT ART ALREADY??

take all the time you feel you need. Draping and clothing is incredibly tricky. I've been helping a friend along with their own art and any progress is progress - no matter how small it is.
