PEWDIEPIE IS LEARNING ART NOW? (artist's reaction) 

If Pewdiepie - a 34-year-old youtuber and father who hadn't drawn in some 3 decades - can learn to draw, nothing is stopping you from starting and at least trying it out too!

PewDiePie drawing is actually pretty crazy, props to him :D

PewDiePie has become an art baby

Here's the thing, pewds has a mindset of a real artist. He sees his mistakes and his improvements, he's aware of his goals, he knows what his weaknesses and how to fix it, and he's humble af. He is proud of his progress but he's aware of his level. With this kind of mindset, in a year or two of dedication his art will bloom Edit: Boy, did this comment aged like fine wine

“Art is probably one of the most rewarding yet painful things that you can do in your life “ so true!!!!sam 😭

Pewds: as you can see its awful Sam: why would you say that about your art Also sam: i am not a good artist

I felt my artistic parental instincts kick in when I saw pewds become an art baby

Pewds drawings are better in 30 days than mine in 10 years 😭

Pewds did so good in the video bro. Sam has competition now 😂

Ngl I think Pewdiepie learning how to draw would be such a good pushback against AI “artists,” bc if this man improved so much in only 30 days these AI users have NO excuse other than “ohh I want something instantly bc I’m lazy as fu-“

Pewds has always been so dedicated to everything he is interested in. He is the type of person who learns fast because he doesnt just copy, but also analyze, resulting in him knowing what works best for him. He understand things fast, and he is comsistent. It's very inspiring to me that he has that kind of dedication. As someone who struggles with procrastination, he is legit my role model.

Not much of a fan of Pewdiepie but this is huge. A lot of people don’t get into art because they find it to be a huge task to practice, and with the easy path of AI people want instant gratification. So seeing him try and actually improve even with how busy he is will probably motivate people to start

Now, he released the 100 days

2:32 I agree with you on that cause I kept doodling for a long time but not improved much but when I did the study of fundamentals and use references I felt like I was learning and improving

now you gotta cover part two

The progression of his art is amazing. Huge improvement in only 30 days!

He posted another one a couple days ago! You should watch that too. His improvement is amazing!

artists know its gonna be a good day when Sam provides these videos for the art babies

He’s drawing better than me in a month and I’ve been drawing for 5 years 😭

i hope that pewdiepie knows how much he is influencing others to draw im actually surprised that a lot of people are talking about this video, genuinely excited for his next art video, this is really cool, it reminds of me when i first started doing art!

Pewds has always been artistic and was pretty good at photoshop so I think drawing will come pretty naturally to him if he keeps it up

He also became good with facial expressions. He drew characters for the ads section of the video, and I think it showcased more the improvement that he gained In 30 days.

Hoping he reacts to the new video now

I like how Pewd is just going around doing sidequests now

funnily enough it was his 30 day drawing challenge that got me excited for drawing again... i miss the beginning and my motivation sky rocketed after I watched him. You've also helped a lot with my motivation Sam with your videos tooo ^_^

I'm looking forward to his art journey, i love seeing people's art stories

i feel it is really important to hone "having fun" as a skill and not enough artists mention it, since the focus is always on technical skill. photostudies and practicing is great but doodling is not a bad thing to do, if it makes ur heart sing and u feel happy i think its worth it. forgetting what makes drawing fun can hinder u so much, so really, between those practices, doodle smth that makes u smile.

We need a vid for his 100 day vid aswell

Sam not giving up any chance to roast ai is just too funny "some of the hands here are better than i saw in ai art"

Heck yeah. He's actually DRAWING and not going to AI. Immediate props to him. Encourage artists and do not gatekeep.

I really respect PewDiePie, he kinda realized he had enough money to not really worry about it anymore in his life and decided to just use that fact to spend time with his family and live his life instead of just pursuing more money for no reason

Seeing Pewds learning art was fascinating! he should definitely continue that! Honestly if someone like him who has a RU-vid channel. A kid and a wife and he still is learning new things is nice to see. He 100% is in his retirement arc 😂

Bruh, his new video shows so much improvement

I have to start drawing more so he doesn’t become better than me

I've been practicing drawing hands and eyes at random times during the week for the last few months and I have definitely seen some improvement! Thank you for inspiring me to draw more Sam!

I love the way his speech becomes more confident with the pieces he is really happy with! Just wonderful ❤

Thought we would be watching just another sketch book. This is unexpectedly very motivating.

make a vid abt his new drawing vid pls!

The improvement is incredibly fast :0 Ive been drawing since I knew how to hold a pencil and this amount of improvement in such short amount of time is incredible! I hate saying this but he does have the talent for it:)

I’m 23 and just started wanting to pick it up again. It’s rough not being able to instantly draw out manga panels and characters I want but I gotta learn to love the process. I’ll sub and stick around love the channep

ty for the upload sam, you inspire me sm! ive recently gotten into digital art and all of your incite helps :3

I can't believe that one of my childhood youtuber inspire me that even no matter what age, we can improve if we start what we are doing if its a skill, work or a game. Thanks to Felix for inspiration👍

This was fun to watch. I am so excited for his journey and hope he continues! Great video and art tips 👏🏽

Its always good to see more people creating and joining our community ❤❤❤

I've been watching Felix for YEEEAAARS now and I love what he has become. I don't know why but this one video ignited that one flame of wanting to also pick up a sketch book and actually learn to draw (not for profit, pure hobby). I follow so many talented artists on social media (including you, Sam) but I always just stared and admired when deep down there was this feeling of "Man, wish I could draw like that" and while I don't see myself becoming as professional as some of you I want to at least be able to draw more than stick figures lol. It's been a week now and I'm feeling pretty good about it, hope It's not just a phase.

You should review his 100 days drawing!

I really enjoy looking back at my first few drawings of the year and then comparing them to what I’m doing now. It usually impresses me how much better I’ve gotten and that gives me a self esteem boost when it comes to my art.

I was going through my old stuff today and found my very first sketchbook from abt 10 years ago, while preparing for an art exhibition ive got today...progress always happens, sometimes slow, sometimes fast, and felix really did a great job at figuring out what steps he needs to take!! People getting into art is such a beautiful thing to see

I’m glad more ppl are getting into art!

I have no interest in Pewdiepie, but I'm damn impressed at how honestly decent he was from early on. And he did SO well on drawing every day, that's something I myself struggle with, but it's so important. Obviously there were two big limitations: 1. He should have relied on reference a LOT more, but heck, many amateur artists don't know to do that, and 2. He shouldn't have felt so embarrassed at how "little" he improved day-to-day early on. No one improves that fast! But regardless, he did GREAT, and I'm hoping he inspires others to pick up a new hobby. ❤

Sam, your drawings are so inspirational. I love your style.

Thanks for this video. I havent been drawing for almost 3 months because of boredom, now looking at someone learning to draw makes me want to continue learning to draw again.😅

We need more reaction videos like this. Great video.

Basically draw in the style that is fun for you is the lesson I'm getting from this

I really love sam's videos he helped me improve on my drawing and when i was at a point where i was gonna quit i decided not to and now im so happy and even though my art is dtill not the best it definetely improved compared to my first 2weeks, ive only started drawing this year january

Ah it's so great to welcome Felix to the art community :D Love that guy, and I love art. Perfect match!

Small lore here: Pewds worked as a photoshop artist (not pictures but used it as a drawing app) before making it big as a RU-vidr ❤️

The timer suggestion for references is VERY valuable. Often times, practicing was exhausting for me because of spending too long trying to perfectly imitate little details. This will help me focus on getting the general style and form down, without being too critical of my work.

I even like doing my own sketchbook, i bind the thing and everything. It doesn't even take much time either, and helps you into getting into a more relaxed state of mind. Plus you save some money as well.

Watching him learn to draw made me regain the motivation to continue on my art journey again; I remember the reason I started doing art was because I saw my cousin's drawing of a game character I like and thought "sheeeett, I gotta get better than this guy"

NO WAY, even he cannot resist fallowing the Great Master’s path of art work, Sam’s art work

Sam, ты помогаешь когда тяжело и мотивируешь не сдаваться, спасибо за всё)

So glad you decided to react to this!! I haven't watched Pewds in years, but I'm glad I stopped by for that video. It's always amazing to watch a new artist unfold before your very eyes! I think he has incredible potential, as does anyone looking to get into art. Seeing someone, especially such a prominent figure in the social media scene, actually take a chance on learning to draw amidst an AI takeover... feels super special. :)

I'm glad to see him learning I'm learning myself so very happy to see new ppl

It's incredible seeing someone as huge as Pewdiepie, take the time to learn how to draw and create art. It just shows that art is something you can absolutely learn and improve on. Something else that you mentioned in this video that I think is really important, is the importance of drawing things you LIKE or are interested in. I felt for the longest time that in order to improve my art AT ALL was to draw people, study anatomy, draw from still life only, only practice your fundamentals, etc. But this is where I feel it's important to know that you can absolutely practice your fundamentals within the things you are genuinely interested in. Example, I prefer drawing plants, environments, and animals. But I always felt like in order to be good at drawing those things, I had to draw people first, or only study anatomy; and it was really hindering my enjoyment for art. But I'm teaching myself that it's OKAY to practice my fundamentals within my interests range. I can absolutely practice values and forms on Plants, Rocks, Trees, etc. Or I can absolutely practice perspective on Organic and Non-Organic environments. Or I can practice anatomy of several different animals that I've never drawn before. I don't need to step outside of my interests range to try things I'm not comfortable or good with. And I wish someone would have told me this sooner. 🤍 But this was a great video and tbh, I was eager to see if you'd do a reaction to it. It's such an uplifting thing to see these days as an artist, someone big with little experience with a pencil, but taking the time to learn it. 🤍

Sam has grown so much I watched him when he was at like 100k and he has opened up so much more props to you same!

I was soo fed up of drawing after the recent developments, felt like being able to draw had no meaning now and stuff and since it was something that got me through tough times it hurt more. but then I saw him drawing and sort of came back to it and have been drawing frequently since. the timing of him making a video about him enjoying the process of making the art himself at a time like this couldn't have been any better. it's perfect

I am impressed by his dedication and his ability to analyze things quickly and understand how to analyze them. His journey is one of the things that, despite my VERY slow improvement as an artist (though, I don't even consider myself one anymore, and don't really plan on being a professional artist), keep me trying new methods and understanding art. If I was able to understand UI design intuitively by using devices a lot, what I need to do is look at art and analyze it, "use" it, like I use computers. Break it down myself into different parts and shapes, until I eventually do that naturally the way I can do with UI designs.

Ok I’m motivated now. Today I start my art journey of becoming a better artist >:)

This was very interesting. I saw your Gumroad stuff too. I've been wanting to make my own stuff for emotes and other things, so it seems like a good starting point =)

Even though I don’t draw much, I like to watch this channel, cause somehow it calms me down when I have a stressful day and struggle. That’s the added value that I hope you’re aware of. Your positive attitude and funny commentary help me when I feel bad.

pewds drop a new drawing vid i hope you can review it

Seeing Pewdiepie Sketches were Amazingly, I love him To React To Art tutorials while He draws on the Sketches.

Pewdiepie is still keeping up with the drawing btw he improved a LOT

It had been 6 years since I last draw i just didnt feel like i was good enough and didnt have the pasion to keep going, but seeing PDP's video made me want to get back to drawing and be more acceptable of my mistakes. And thank u Sam u helped with that too!

Personally i've found myself a lot more happy with my art than before, i started pushing my comfort zone and trying to draw new things. Before i was ashamed that i couldn't draw realistically, but now i just love the anime style drawings i make!! Been a lot more confident and my digital art has been improving too!! Wishing you all luck on your journeys!!

I think it's great that big names are coming out and humbling themselves by revealing their struggles with art, especially in this rampant AI trend. The struggle can be fun! It can also be painful! But it's always worth challenging yourself to see what you're capable of and what you really enjoy doing.

I love Félix even more for sharing this! So important for the art community at this time!! As an art teacher/tutor and a former art degree grad, one of the biggest barriers I have found, seen, heard and identified to those just embarking on their art journeys, is comparing themselves to other artists. I see it now just scrolling through most of the comments in this section, in fact I would do this prolifically during my studies. You really need to get that mentality out of your mindset, instead start comparing your progress from yesterday to today… become obsessed with yourself and your art journey. I always tell people to treat art as if it was part of your own DNA, when you create you want it to be somewhat distinct to yourself, not blend in or carbon copy everyone else. You can draw inspiration from other peoples artwork but don’t rely on their works as some form of magic pill that will grant you greatness overnight. Mix it up, find things you are super into, or passionate about, and grab references from that, as Sam points out, reference is huge! Don’t be afraid to use it. Unsurprisingly a lot of the art they compare themselves to is either by well established artists ..or AI “creatives”. They live in an illusion that art should just be done with ease and so perfectly. This is why when I’m drawing live demos on screen in class, I make sure they see all my mistakes, so that my process is transparent and not nearly as “perfect” as they sometimes tend to think it is, based of off my finished pieces. Look at art as an investment, you get out of it what you put into it, it will not come easy, but the more you feed it, the bigger its growth and the bigger your hunger to develop it grows. It guts me when I see someone try for a day or 2 then resign themselves to “I’m just not an artist, it’s not my natural talent”..that’s total bull shit. No artist is ever perfect or 100% and if they tell you that…they are lying, art is an eternal process really, you never stop learning and the day you decide you’ve learned and done it all… you will be humbled very quickly and surprise yourself with things you never thought about before. Passion is a huge key component in learning art, but that often comes from practice and observation, finding your own little niche and developing/platforming of off that. Art is my escape, I’ve always loved drawing wildlife and the natural world, it is my true love and passion I’ve worked on since the age of 4 after watching The Lion King. I am fortunate that my work means I get to draw and further hone my art with other creatives (the best feeling and super encouraging to be surrounded by other creatives) but I am also studying my degree in zoology and it can be physically and mentally demanding as well as limiting when I suddenly have ideas for new art projects or pieces but can’t immediately put them onto paper. But I always try squeeze art into my day whenever and wherever I can, even if it’s just taking photos of trees or something interesting for reference then scribble that onto newspapers or magazines during tea/lunch breaks. You don’t have to invest hours and hours every single day, 20, 15 or even 5 minutes is still something! Anything to keep the artistic energy alive. I really hope this big ass novel of a comment hasn’t come across as some weird flex, more just a page from my book of life experiences that I’ve learned from peers over the years and now share with my own students and friends wanting to jump into the arts and creative community. Hope you can make sense of it.

im teaching myself to draw perspectives through landscapes before moving on to figures. ive been dabbling with using fluent stick figures to draw body motion and frame perspective

Whatever he does, i'm happy for him. It's such a new thing to see my favorite and legendary youtuber learned how to draw.

I find myself repeating 9:31-11:01. I love the style and seeing what features he chooses to outline versus not seems extremely valuable.

In my opinion I would very much trust Sam when he says "Use Reference" Reference really does help me and sometimes I feel demotivated not using it that much, ngl Sam is prob my most favorite artist.

makes me really happy too. i've watched his vids since i was like 10 years old now im 19 and im wanting to be an artist

I started early this year, like in January, technically last December. I drew a lot throughout the months. I enjoyed it a lot. Then I just kinda stopped because life and mental is getting to me, and i practiced stuff i didnt enjoy very much. I dropped off the art train, my stuff collected dust. Now I want to start again and do my own thing. Thought about practicing body parts again, but that is exactly when i dropped off. Starting with something I am passionate about honestly helped me getting in, and I think it will do so again. I hope anyone with similar experiences tries following this route instead. Fundamentals are cool n all, but if you want to draw a manga panel instead, try that. If you have issues drawing it, look for some tutorial helping you in that, and keep going. Thats what i am going back to now. Its frustrating that i wasted my art year, but I hope that wont discourage those with a similar situation. It certainly wont discourage me. :)

He has made a 100 days update video

I remember when I used to draw semi regularly I always hated my drawing but a year or so ago I came across one of them and I couldnt believe I drew that because it wasnt that bad. I never formally learned to draw so it was just me doodling and sketching for fun. I'd love to get back into it, get my old skills back and then improve on it but not sure when that'll happen since I enjoy doing other things more rn

Never watched one if his videos before, but this was really sweet to see because he really enjoyed that

Ok but when sam pointed that banana at me idk why but i just yelled out " I DONT HAVE ANY CHEESE " With my hands in the air 😅

Watch out Sam, once Felix graduates into an art toddler, he's one step closer to catching up to an art grandpa like you. Gotta keep grinding 💪 Road to art fossil

Our recommendations are same Sam I just saw this video pop up on my screen 4 to 5 days back. However, it's really inspiring....after watching this, I am planning to do the same PewDiePie did, because from the last few weeks, I couldn't spend much time drawing/ sketching..

I also grew up practing drawing through copying or having reference.it really helped me

Its crazy how successful he is yet he never wants to stop learning new things. Really goes to show how we can all improve on skills we have first its 30 days then hell look back in a year go WHOA who knows 5 years from now he could be writing his own manga or show.

hey what'sup sam, you're the reason i got interested in drawing digitally just because of your art style.

I've got to say, Watching Pewd's video inspired me to try to do the same as Drawing is one of those skills I've always wanted to learn and I would consider myself very creative, but never put in the effort required to actually develop that skill, wanted to try exactly the same because it seems like a good idea, got myself an sketchbook and I had no idea how to tackle the task, now it's just there waiting for me to start. However, NOW that I've watched this video, I feel like a know and understand how to start, but I have a very clear goal in mind. Next year, I'll open a Japanese style fusion food place and I want the mascot to be a chibi bunny with traditional japanese clothes, but I want him to look both cute (because chibi) and have this "serious" look to him, I have always loved that style and it merges serious looking with chibi art that is normally adorable or goofy. And I have no idea what to use as reference, I've found a few pieces online to work with but not a lot. If anyone here has any idea on where I can get inspiration or reference for something like this, I would really appreciate it.

Crazy to see this review cause I watched that video when it dropped and you came to mind the entire time And here you are making a reaction vid to it!

PLEASE DO A PART 2 FELIX DID A 100 DAY DRAWING CHALLENGE

Was anybody esle surprised how actually good he was, i thought he would start with stick figures

I didnt know I needed this video 😂 it’s so true that I’m proud of my art when I use reference and sometimes my imagination does poop some good art from mental library !! And drawing what I love from reference IS how I’m supposed to have fun drawing again !!! Sam healed my art block in just one video 😮 imma be an art baayyybeeee again 🎉🎉🎉🎉

im starting my drawing journey again, i made like 7 drawins in the spawm of 6 years and i always stopped because i saw no progress but now i know that i have to push myself daily

Pewdiepie can really do it all. Such a great insporation, glad ive followed him for over 10 years
