Watch this before you try to draw better | DrawlikeaSir 

Still waiting for a comment that's original enough to get pinned 📍

The Sasuke drawing is not just a meme and relevant, it's a piece of art, a true masterpiece, it should be used in art schools to teach students and why not, even displayed in some art gallery in Paris.

That level up perspective is a perfect mindset for developing any talent

Of all the videos that you have posted so far Marcel, this one easily makes it in my top 5. I often see myself jumping around between portrait and figure drawing. This can explain why I feel like I am not really progressing as fast as I want to. Thanks for the video Marcel, now I know what to do.

I've been drawing for a few years now but I lost count of how many times I felt depressed because I thought my art was crap, but your tutorials have helped me immensely and near the end of this video I lowkey started to tear up. Now I can confidently say that my art is good enough that they only give my victims migraines instead of making them spontaneously combust, like a Sir!

I feel the last few drawings i made did not turn out the best, but this video really lifted my mood❤

I was kind of aware of the concepts in this video before watching it, but the way you put it really made me consciously aware of it, and it ended up being really motivating! I struggle with bein overly self-critical a lot and I just have to remind myself to not be discouraged by certain shortcomings, but rather motivated! Definitely earned a new sub :)

'The only person that needs to be happy with an artwork is the one who made it' love that

00:50 this part was so hopeful for me because I was anxious that I won't be able to draw when working. Thank you for being honest, and great video!

I love your videos, your hard work on editing, the animation for us to make it even better to understand what you do, is just unbelievable. I drew since I was a child, I've watched all of your videos dozens of times, really. I don't even now how many times. I don't speak the language German, but I watched those videos as well on your German channel. Learned so much because of your videos. When I watched your tutorials, of course there were some which doesn't work out for me. Then I practiced, a lot. I replayed the video again, and again. I tried to learn everything you teach in your videos, sometimes with sweating blood, but at the end, i did it. You were/And still you're my motivation to start making/to make my own Manga. It's been 6 months since I started working on it because of you. Even my profile picture on RU-vid is my own creation. I learned how to draw bodies, how to shade, how to make your own poses, how to draw hair, how to draw clothes creases, how to ink, and how to crosshatch. Everything I learned thanks to you. All of that in manga style, because of your teachings. I Just bought my Digital Artist Pen about 2 weeks ago, and your video about digital art helped me as well as the other traditional drawing videos. Your channel is an open libary for me/us to learn anything what drawing is. Im not sure about you know how much you helped not just me, im brave to say, everybody who wants to learn to draw. The drawing skills I learned from you helped me in my darker, sadder times, until today. Drawing is a wonderful thing. I learned a lot of things. I'm very thankful to you. I cannot thank you enough for the amount of motivation, help, and strength I received from you. From my heart, I would like to say.. Thank you.✒🤍

Just straight-up pausing the video to say: Those clean neon-blue infographics just fill my heart with joy- they look SO good. 10/10 work

This channel is probably the most helpful art channel I've found. Keep up the good work :)

This is a shockingly useful and unique take on art, recently the only thing I've been drawing is BLANKS but this video has reminded me that there's always something in my art to pick out and refine If i'm not satisfied

Thank you for this channel. I have always loved art and drawing and in general visual mediums but you taught me that blindly copying somthing cannot make an artist you have made me improve so much and it's so impressive that you are able to juggle content and a 9-5 so well

Dude i swear u were the best channel on art when i was a beginner and my whole art playlist videos ar just ur videos

You are amazing at what you do, man. You've helped me improve my art so much and your casual humor and easy explanations are such a blessing to whoever wants to get as good as you. Thank you so much for your efforts to help us get better, and I hope you keep helping those unfortunate enough to draw the Sasuke meme.

Nooooooooooooooo!! It was really one hell of a video!! The editing skills this time were just soo damn good, I literally thought for once as if I was in a sci fi world!! It was literally amazing. As for the information, no lie, but i really needed to hear this. Thanks really a lot sir!!

Marcel, I’ve been watching you for a long time and I too am a very busy person who loves art but is also very busy with just life in general. Thank you so much for taking the time to make a video for other artists. I also like to draw anime so to see someone not only do art but also within my own art style genre is amazing and very encouraging\inspiring! Even if the next video might not be coming soon, every video (or short) you make, no matter how long the wait, is WORTH IT.

this is the video i needed to see. i've made some things i'm quite proud of in terms of colors, lighting/shading and such, but i nearly break down in tears whenever i envision a line and my hand completely misses it. you're right in the point that having weak suits doesn't make you a bad artist, and that realizing that isn't as obvious as it seems. thank you.

I feel better about my art every time I watch your videos thank you.

you're literally my favorite RU-vidr and I've only seen like 6 of your vids

Thanks ARNOLD for this beautiful video ! means alot for us.

i like how you don’t make fun of any art, it’s comforting.

Your so entertaining and you remind me to never give up on my dream on making a manga career

Thank you for your videos! I left my art portfolio behind more than a decade ago for a more lucrative career. Thanks to your videos, I'm gaining the confidence to pick the pencil back up and draw again!

I know I could make a witty joke comment or whatever but I actually really needed a video like this. After months of questioning if I am a bad artist I think this kinda jolted me awake in showing that I’m just not as good as doing certain things compare to others. Thank you for making this!

Thanks Dlas, I really needed this today. My portraits are horrible due to me somehow always drawing a really round face and I thought of quitting until I saw this. Truth is Im just not as good at drawing faces as I am with eyes. Same with hair too, I shall study even harder that I have before and to anyone else reading this, NEVER give up.

You create really pedagogic, concrete, and entertaining videos! Thanks for your time commitment to us. We all grow from you sharing your experience! Thank you!

Thank you so much for your videos!! I recently picked up drawing again after stopping when i was a teenager (I'm mid-30s now). As a kid, I never learned foundational skills and learned to draw by copying, so if I tried to draw anything from scratch it all fell apart. Your videos have been super useful because I'm trying to learn all the basics properly, and my drawing has already improved a lot :)

I like how you are so polite and say it sounds so cheesy and asks only for a like and a comment and not even asking us to subscribe ❤

Okay here is some tips to improve I'm probably gotta list that you have heard before or draw like a sir said. 1. Practice the thing you're not good at, for example hands , atonomy and pose's this are the things Im not good at and I practice them and I'm getting a little better. 2. Look at references to draw, it's not cheating it's pretty normal to the art community to look at references and learn from them 3. Don't compare yourself with other artist, don't do that because you're just lowering you're confidence and probably having an unrealistic goals, you're not gonna get good overnight it takes time and hardwork to get where you want to be. 4. Simplify things, just simplify things I simplify my eyes because I hate drawing eyes so I just add to lines and a circle in-between. Okay I hope this works just keep practicing until you get what you wanted (btw I didn't watch the video so I probably listing some of the things sir said.)

Wait this just popped on on the page and I loved it so much

At some point more than a decade ago I stopped drawing or painting people or anything except for landscapes and architecture in watercolor to practice my coloring. At some point I started introducing idols into the landscapes to have some sort of characters. In the meantime I practiced drawing plaster casts of Greek and Roman sculptures. At some point I felt that I could combine the two skills and my very first portrait in watercolor amazed me. Since then, I started painting more complex scenes, some better than others, but my stylization skills are still at zero as they were to begin with.

thank you so much for taking the time to make these videos, your videos alone have improved my art faster in days than most youtubers have in months or years the fact that you take all this time just to help people inspires me greatly and i recommend your videos to all my friends who are interested in art as well ❤

Explaining it in this way of leveling up certain skills over others makes so much sense! I feel very encouraged now, thank you sir. 😊

I'm so glad I watched this. It made me feel so much better about the areas I need to improve on. Thank you!

You work so hard so just thank you for everything you do❤

your a goat marcel, man you have helped me and so many other people more than you know. I was sooooo bad at drawing but idk I feel like when I clicked on your channel I began to truly get interested in drawing and now I'm getting better and better. You have helped me and countless other people more than you know. On behalf of everyone, thank you!!

Still waiting for sir to teach us male anatomy with his own body 👀🗿

I never knew you had a 9 to 5 job! my respect for you has increased greatly🤯

Only legends know the art of the thumbnail😂❤

As someone who has dissociative identity disorder, ADHD, mild autism and a developmental disorder learning how to draw is super hard for me mainly cause I can't understand most people in a way thats helpful but your videos has helped us so much

can we just talk about the godly editing?

This guy is like an older brother that gives you good advice and support

I'm a blossoming 3D animator/modeler and I find this to be relevant even in my field. I feel the concepts you cover for drawing can easily be tailored for 3D artwork as well. Anatomy, characters, creatures, realistic, styled, inorganic, organic, and even the different aspects of 3D like, I'm more comfortable with animation over modeling. There's also lighting and environment design, composition and compositing. I only recently started to focus more on my weaknesses like modeling characters to try to round out my skills to make myself a more flexible artist but it's certainly not easy! Entirely worth it though. Excellent topic, great video. 🙂

“Clicking the bell wont hurt eaither,” BUT THE BELL GETS HURT

bro just slip an abriged joke in the most emotional moment

this is gotta be the best thumbnail I've ever seen

Why do I feel like all his videos come at just the right time

Didn't know you were doing a 9-5 while drawing. Holy shit I appreciate your videos way more than I already did.

I am there. I'm restudying the basics now. Building my skills from the bottom up.

The thumbnail genuinely describes the video very nicely done

Props to using the dbz abridged clip 👏🏻and appreciate the advice can’t wait for the follow up vid

ur one of the best youtubers. ur videos are simple and easy

The fact he can draw in almost any style.

At some point, I found my art to deteriorate. It's been very disheartening. So I am watching Marcel's video from scratch.

I thought this was a joke video at first, but this advice is better than any I have seen from any other art youtuber, their videos are great but this approach just suits me so much

I've been trying to get in to video game development, but character design skills suck, i need to make my own characters, but when I see games like Genshin Impact or Girl's Frontline, my motivation is suddenly gone, but, your video got me some inspiration, and for that, thank you very much!

dam! marcel u work rlly hard!! tysmm for all ur videos u have helped me improve so much... LIKE A SIR!!!!!!!!!!!

LONG LIVE DRAW LIKE A SIR!

All those years of only drawing trees and cubes on my homework really made my abilities a little skewed

This is such an important concept to spread around. I've seen a ton of artwork that has immaculate shading and beautiful colors, but the actual _drawing_ has poor perspective, bad anatomy, etc. Or the opposite- incredible artwork, but shaded with black at 50% opacity xD

Man out here showing kage levels of discipline with time and videos.

I just restarted my drawing journey because i noticed i never took the time to really learn anything. Thanks for making this!

If anyone is looking for a colour theory, this guy has the best video about it😉

when I was a kid I watched a disney xd show called "kirby buckets" (i think so, i'm not sure) and i was like geez i want to draw like that cool kid on tv, now after many years and a used graphics tablet, I'm actually trying to fulfill that young dream

I've just discovered your channel, I've watched four videos in a row, and I've subscribed 'cause they're that good. Good luck with whatever Conns are happening in Germany, hi from Italy :3

Because of you, I've improve alot, with the help of yours, and the motivation that my classmate that gave me

Ducks are technically the animal kingdom's ATVs, being able to fly, walk and swim

i keep seeing the colored version of sasuke as like a tim burton esque interpretation of the character, sure it looks hella weird but also kinda cool

I needed this today, thank you for teaching me like a sir.

how the heck arent u in one mil yet ur the art teacher to go from most artists i ask

Man this is what we said a helpful video. IT HELP A LOT

I love how meme Sasuke has become this psuedo-mascot for the art tutorial community. He doesn't show up super often, but you can trust you'll see him when he has been gone long enough.

Believe me I drew disaster when I was a kid of 6 or 7 might be. But the time I got to know about your channel I decided that it's enough!! I have to do this for myself at least!! And then practice after practice and here I am. A girl of 12 known as super artist in my class and have won the honour of receiving the place of national finalist in a competition. Your video has inspired me greatly! It's like "Rags to Riches"!! Salute🙏🏻

I also want to learn how to shade if the light source is directly behind the object.

"yesn't" is a great word

I love this channel so much

This man is literally a beast

The thumbnail is crazy

U doing a 9-5 too!? After all these ... Mann!! Hatsofff

Your videos really helped me improve. Thank you.

I like got you add “like a sir” every time

Same condition with me cuz you see.. I'm very interested in your types of art and I suck in making real life portraits,my freinds and family always tell me to make thier portrait (which I have 0 experience in)after watching this video I'm not going to make myself feel ashamed because I can't make portraits,hail to lord Marcel 🙌🙌

Bruh, This helped out. So far I am painting a semi realistic elephant but dealing with details that look weird to begin with like the elephant's mouth is difficult! Lol, its hard not making it look too smooth. Drawing butts and coloring the booties with cool backgrounds are fun though. Super simple but effective as a practice for shading.

Moral of the story: focus on the things you are bad at if you want to become a great artist

Comment to boost video, but seriously your channel has been beyond helpful in learning art and while I'm still no thrilled with my art I can see I've made progress and I attribute a lot of that to your channel.

thanks dude I am kind of bad at drawing and I want to get better so your videos really help

Tbh, this is not the purpose of the video completely, but this was freeing. You don't have to be an expert on everything right away. My toxic brain build the thought "you are a good artist, only if you habe solid foundation in EVERYTHING". People (Anatomy), buildings, animals, mechanical objects, perfect coloring, perfect shading, perfect in every angle, backrounds... I guess this takes time. Hab dich schon vor JAHREN mal hier gesehen, schön dass es dich hier noch gibt! :)

The Sasuke art work is a masterpiece

Random 4am motivation kicks in again, and of course after my motivation tones down, I'll forget all the useful information

Motivation pinned itself back to me, thanks to Draw like a Sir. Thank you

Thank you for your hard work, I really appreciate you. You have helped me improve a lot.❤

Hi man. Ur drawings are SICK

Thanks for your time.

Ty for raising my confidence ❤

the thumbnail for this video will haunt me in my dreams

Thank you for all your hard work SIR I am glad u started this channel, you making these videos alone is inspirational to me...THANK YOU ❤️ 🔥 I'll get to work at improving immediately

I don't know how I managed this, but I started getting bad at things I have years of experience with. and it's not just my expectations getting higher than what I can actually achieve, I like parts of my old art more than what I do now. I envy people that can make their sketches in relatively short periods of times, because I sit at a sketch even for hours and still not like the outcome. Now I know, everyone does things differently and it doesn't matter how long I take, but I am an impatient perfectionist and struggling with a stupid sketch for hours makes me frustrated to the point I don't even finish most of my arts, which lead me to a burnout and I've been struggling with drawing for about 5 months now. I've tried many ways to overcome it, but none help. I decided it will be best for me to take a step away from art for a while completely, because it's been really exhausting to fight my perfectionism. I hope to get back to art, it was one of the only things that made me genuinely happy. Thank you for these videos by the way, they are very helpful!

The thumbnail was spot on 🗿🍷
