Why Your Drawings Suck

The last point was really true. Basically all of the point hits me hard. I had a long artblock period, like really really long. I, an art major student, didn’t draw for about 6 months. A single thing. Because I thought my drawing sucked so much, that I had no hope in improving or whatsoever. So I started getting into another fun things that aren’t drawing and kind of ditched the drawing life, because I felt insecure that I wasn’t not good enough. But one day, I saw my close friend’s artworks and I was so amazed and my friend introduced me to a good digital drawing software, so I tried the 30 days trial and it was really hard, just like any other software you have to discover and learn tools, but I became productive because of the 30 days trial. ‘Oh I have to draw or I’m wasting the trial time!’ so I drew 30 days... and skipped some because of the pile of assignments I had to do, but within the 30 days, I discovered and learned so many things, and gained so many motivations and just like you said - result. I gained lots of results that motivated me so everytime I’m lazy I look back to the drawing, reminding me of my one goal. ‘What does art mean to you?’ Everything. The only reason why I keep going. I’m grateful that I’m surrounded by good friends that has the same interest with me, and I’m looking back, thinking, I had a whole 6 months. 3 months of HOLIDAY. But you didn’t draw anything??? At first I thought it was because the lack of time but you were right, deep in my heart, it’s not that I DIDN’T have time, but I just DIDN’T want to draw which really upsets me. Why are you wasting so much time? In 6 months I could improve and learn so many things. I regretted that so much since. So I always thankful I’m surrounded by friends who always motivate me through their works. But instead of regretting, I say to myself that it’s okay I’m still young (like 19 haha) so I’m grateful I got out of this early, and I will continue to learn endless things from now on. Thank you for this video. You’re a great teacher, I’m grateful to have found you. I enjoyed all of your videos and learned a lot through them!!!! :D (Hopefully 5 years later when I see this comment I’ve became a decent artist (?)) xD (((wow sorry for the long rants haha)

The title hurting my feelings 😭😔😢😢 I am reporting

All true!!!
I’m an artist with a drawing deficiency. I hide it as best as I can but it keeps my work out of high end galleries.

I say this from the preview. Fuck you

That really harted

I literally searched "WHY CAN'T I FUCKING DRAW" and this came up...

Thanks

I still watch this video when I need a shake or two

My issues that impede my progress are:
1. Not drawing enough, which leads to
2. Lack of confidence
Which all leads to
3. Line dependency
4. Lack of technique
I need to find the time in my life to practice and get better.

I have been trying to improve my art..

you fuckkkkk we need some help getting your coock

This was a hard pill to swallow but after a cigarette and some thinking, I finally started to get it. I've started to use references a lot more. Lord and behold that shit actually worked.

"Turn off your PS4 and turn off League of Legends" wow I just got called out lmao

Very helpful, thank you. Liked and subscribed.

boom roasted

for all of you guys out there who simply do not have the talent for drawing, it's okay, you are no less of a person just because you cant draw.
Take it from someone who loves to sing, but can't draw to save my life
*Art is a gift some are born with*

I recently started watching a lot of your older videios, is there is a chronological order in which I should follow? There's a lot of good information I am trying to utilize from you but I do not really know where to begin in improving my art.

>:(

This is awesome, you really covered everything I am struggling with, you have a great voice and personality for a podcast! I hope you consider this.

Thank you! I will never draw again...😂😔

Wtf? Use edges instead of lines... As In?

This Video almost brought me to tears(in a good way)

I will never have friends though :/

Mine will always suck period. Drew nearly everyday for two years, got no help, didn’t improve and created a stack of shit that took hours to do. Its a talent this stupid god didn’t give me.

if anyone else is into drawing chibis as a beginner lets be friends and support and help each other with drawing

This video will not be long

Ha.

Here's what I found has helped me. I try to see the image on the page ahead of time and when I'm starting. I rough in lightly till the image is there. It' s a lot like looking in one of those old View Master toys, the image just appears i.e. I'm never forcing the image. Also I prefer not to make shapes to generalize everything, they seem to block the image. Instead ill draw a small portion of say a cup, and allow my mind to project the rest onto the page, then I rough in. Like if you only saw an inch of a pen sticking out from under a piece of blank paper, you can easily visualize the rest of the pen. So its a lot like tracing what the mind is projecting on the page.

...well uhm... that's... rude?

I didn’t shade my art until I was 11..... :(

Its not rude, its being honest

After watching this I picked up my sketch book and pencil then I couldn't think of anything to draw

Istebrak: “yeah so this video isn’t gonna be that long”
Video: *is 26 minutes long*

I have been drawing for 5 years it feels like I never be as great as the pros, 😣 guess I should just give up on animation

how do I get rid of life dependency tho

Ok let me leave a tip please don’t leave a title that makes fun of people’s drawings for instance say “tips to help your drawings look better” instead of “why your drawings suck” because what the viewer hears isn’t let me help it’s hey you yeah your drawings are crap so let me help umm make em good so please make a title that would make it clear to people that you want to help them

My drawings sucks because I'm a failure at life and I don't deserve to be alive :)

Mini video=26 min.

Holy cow "use drawing as an escape." I've been tackling my addictions to tv and video games but still have trouble with drawing enough....use it as an escape....that's a breakthrough for me. Thank you!

why your letters suck

I'm here before drawing from reference and my right side of my head hurts.
Besides that I'm subscribing.

Crap...this really helped me, I bearly ever used references.

Im honestly tired of people always looking at my drawings and pointing out the bad things. I have a lot of friends that can draw decent but i know i can draw better and im not trying to be cocky but i know i can do it. My friends sometimes just laugh or always point out “how huge and annoying the boobs are” or “the shoulders are to down” i always complement them and i dont hear anything. I dont do it for the complements at all but i dont like the negativity around it. I dont wanna sound rude but i have some friends that are really bad at drawing but tell me things like im bad and show me their art for their “examples”. After all that i dont wanna be one of those people who fish for complements saying “omg its so bad” expecting someone to say no its not, but after all that i really kinda feel like i am a horrible beginner but i have been drawing for 2 years and my friends..idk 7? I just hate it that i only get negativity, I apologize you had to read all this 😅

My drawings are disgusting but they THICC

My biggest problem I found was that I was emulating other peoples drawings all the time. When it came time to drawing my own using references, I cant tell exactly where to shade, and how to add in the details, because everything is original and I cant just look it up. That's something I dont understand how to do still. I can draw any reference just fine since I emulated a lot of drawings. So now I'm in this dilemma thinking I didn't improve at all from copying.

Well dis is mean

Wow.. THIS WAS BOOTYFUL SPOKEN LIKE A TRUE ARTIST 👌🏽
