5 Things I Wish I Knew as a Beginner Artist

[@robin2fab4u66]

Beware, posting your art when you're a beginner can be terrible. When I posted on Paigee world, people told me that my art was mediocre and that I shouldn't enter into contests, etc. I lost 99% of my love for drawing. Later it did motivate me to get better, but it wasn't due to any nice encouragement. I'd say ask your friends or find a TRUSTED community to find criticism, and then post.

[@chimmylights7323]

Gwen2fab4u true

[@Noobmaster-zo4qc]

Amino, is a great place t post when a beginner, because the people in charge, make sure everyone stays nice, and just gives professional criticism.

[@AlexAlex-qe5kn]

But u lost your motivation because of u, not them, even if u are a beginer u shouldn t be so emotional about it, take the critisism at your art dont take it personal

[@stegosaurus6654]

Yeah but my friends don't give me criticism they just say it's bad so I usually like strangers because they can give me something more than "That's bad eww"

[@Noobmaster-zo4qc]

@@stegosaurus6654 Same, my friends nevwr Actually help other than like two of them. They are beter at art than me, and i need sone constructive criticism, but honestly, I've gotten more help from strangers online, than ny friends about art.

[@joellejoelle2059]

I can’t draw without a photo, I just need a reference. And I have no inspiration without a picture. I want to practice a lot but I don’t have much time because I am 15 and still in school. Does someone has any tips?

[@Kaffeeisresting]

Joelle Joelle maybe if you try art books? Some of them teaches how to draw certain things like body parts, animals and clothes. It could help you learn how to start from a basic shape and put details on it until it takes shapes and when you will be used to it you should be fine :)

[@avagessner1984]

try searching up art prompts, or even find a noun generator and just drawing whatever comes up, or finding art challenges. That way the "inspiration" part is done for you, at least until you get to the point where you're coming up with things yourself. Also you should get a small sketchbook to bring to school with you and sketch whenever you have free time in class (idk if you have that often, for me I never have time on B days but most of my A day classes are pretty chill), that's when I draw the most. Honestly just sketch whenever you can during the day and maybe set a goal to draw a full piece every saturday or sunday or something like that. hope I can help!

[@andymarte7673]

Joelle Joelle try Andrew Loomis's books

[@cinnamonflan1412]

Ava Gessner go to your local library and explore their art section. They have a beginner’s guide to almost everything. Go to the reference librarian and tell them you want to learn how to draw. They will show you the section you need. Thank Also, draw for fun whenever you can! Try to always carry a sketchbook and a pencil bag with what you need.

[@thatdude1563]

Sometimes when your blocked all you need to do is look at any object in front of you and start drawing . alot of artist talk abou it (havnt tried it in a while ) but all the youtube artist iv wached say that "it helps expand you visual library "?? and you can learn better the form of things from it too . From any time i did do stuff like that i learned it helps alot in creating new ideas and learning simple things i didnt know of

I think the whole social media thing is great! And honestly something else to add on to that is to be active on it, such as commenting on other peoples work . I've made so many friends that way by getting more involved Plus it's always nice to recieve/give comments! Also the art community is so supportive and nice its good to be part of it!;0; I remember I used to be strictly a marker person and I used to hatred watercolor, but I tried it recently and I fell in love with it! Its all I use now Haha. Also your little turtle is so cute!! I absolutely love how you use gouache!!😍

[@JelArts]

Thank you!! I'm really liking it. I knew I would, it just took me a while to actually start, haha! I used some cheaper gouache a year or so ago and didn't really love it. I've just improved a lot since then, I think!

I’ve watched 7 of your videos so far. Not only are you a fine artist, but your interesting to listen to as well. I’m just a hobby artist, but your content has helped, and now I’ve got to try water color.

[@nothing-bt5wt]

jelarts your channel is great you show tips and tricks on art to help people and you show them that nobody's perfect and when you start off you won't know very much your videos show people how fun and easy art can be!!!! I've been watching your channel for the longest of time I can't even remember when !!!!! Never give up your better than awesome!!!

[@central-saints]

i'm watching a lot of videos like this lately, but i think yours and your channel are the one that helps me the most. like, i always come back to your videos, you're just so chill about art and i dont know, you're not stressing me out. it's great. it gives me motivation to improve, because i've been trying for so long to learn to draw but i just can't, because i'm really stressed about not making it perfect. but you make me want to not worry that much anymore :)

[@ravenpotter3]

This is so good and helpful. Right now I'm writing a essay in English class about how i could go back in time to my 5th grade self and tell my old self how to not be as cringey at art. I would tell myself to not use ms paint and use FireAlpaca, to use references and learn anatomy, and tell my young self to not learn how to draw anime yet. As a child I did not understand anatomy at all and I tried to learn anime XD I really was bad

[@anilovesyou234]

The tips in the video were great and I agree 100% with most of what you said. I just wanted to ad this as another opinion about the social media thing you mentioned. I started early and switched through quite a few art social media and even though I made some great friends I feel like posting my art stunted my growth. My friends have always supported me but we were on either similar levels or used completely different tool so it was difficult to give constructive criticism. And other people either gave me empty praise or told me my art sucked and that I would never be an artist. All the people's opinion got to my head and i also felt an obligation to put all I drew online which just made me feel worse. When i started posting less often and eventually quit I saw immense improvement. It was drawing for myself that made me improve. I do not mean to diminish anyone else's experience, this is just mine.

[@TheClaritee]

I am taking an art course now and I had NO IDEA what to do with the kneadable eraser, so I am SO glad you talked about it in this video. And I adore your art style! I immediately followed you on Instagram after watching the video. :)

[@waysome_]

I am a beginner and I am subscribed to art subscription boxes so I can try to learn all sorts of different mediums

[@9sunrise1]

Drawing from life is a big big one. I would definitely recommend it not only to beginners but artists of all levels. These are some great tips! Thanks for sharing! :)

[@MajorIllustration]

Good video. One suggestion that came from my premier art college instructor: Move your pallet to the same side as the hand you are using. :D

[@Inkdraft]

Painting the turtle while talking about the tips was a fabulous presentation. I loved watching you work on the turtle. Nice voice too. Going to sub.

[@leahclark3701]

Rolling your kneedable erasers over your drawing is a fantastic tip! I know one thing I accidentally do half the time is make my guidelines a bit too heavy and dark so this was a nice tip. And I think exploring different mediums is another fantastic tip, I know I would have never in a million years thought about doing charcoal. The thought of it just getting everywhere was not my thing lol but really the soft smokey look you can get from it are beautiful. I really like these kind of videos too where it's like a super chill chat and speed paint.

[@Rosa-wk9yj]

I wish I could tell 10 years old me to go ahead and just draw, that i shouldn't overthink it and only believe in the idea that knowing how to draw or paint is only for people who are naturally gifted of it. Even if you don't see it as a job in the future, it's still amazing to learn something, not because schools requires it, but because you enjoy and relax with it. You shouldnt be too serious. :))

[@raph009]

8:20 This is a very good advice haha! I'm more of a graphite artist but since 2017 (I think), I've been more and more willing to explore other media of art, including those with brush and paint. While it didn't change my love of graphite, it certainly helped to improve my technique and it opened my mind to try new things with graphite (graphite powder for instance or blending with different type of brushes to create misty effects). It sounds like a chore, but it's just so fun to test your skills against something new! I rediscovered the joy of painting (no pun intended) this way and discovered watercolor along the way. The only thing I'd add is to try different kinds of art and not stick to that one thing. Just like you said to draw life and objects, I think that exploring realism if you're really into cartoons (or cartoons if you're into realism!) can only make you grow as an artist. Just an extra tip because I, too, would have liked to know that when I started (long, long ago).

[@kaiibearr_04]

This has helped so much! Thank you! I’ve been drawing people a lot in the past year or two and haven’t focused on animals of any style other than when in my art class we drew animals as our bell ringer. I’m definitely going to to take your advice and draw more of my surroundings. I’ve also been wanting to try painting for a while and my art teacher at school offers painting and I’m hoping to get in that class next year! I’ve been drawing for as long as I can remember but taking it seriously would have to be at least 3 or 4 years now and I’ve noticed I’ve improved in my style and what I draw drastically for the better by self teaching myself from KZbin videos and Christopher Hart books and of course my art teacher

[@a.anders7568]

Also when using real life references, try to get video reference! Especially for dynamic poses, it helps you understand motion and how the body is moving better. Idk how it works, but when I choose a frame from a youtube video instead of an image from google, my work turns out better and looks less stiff. An artist on youtube (Ethan Becker I think) talks about this and even has challenges!

[@nicomcgill4619]

I LOVE this drawing, i have a baby tortoise, and this looks just like him! This might be my favorite drawing of yours! Do you script your videos?

Unfortunately it is a moleskine sketchbook, which means it's really expensive. I usually don't use them but it was on sale so I got it!

[@arelcrest]

Go to look through all kind of shops. I've found a sketchbook from the company "art creation". It looks extremely like a moleskin, the paper quality is (if you're not a super expert) the same. Just the black cover is a little less smooth, there is no pocket in the back. It's a little different, but the price is a third or even a quarter of a Moleskin-price. It's not a dream, cheeper copies exist. :)

Thank you for painting a tortoise rather than the pretty girl I see way too much of. Pretty females are fine I just hope everyone doesn’t ONLY paint them. Also watercolour is more commonly lightfast and versatile unfortunately art markers fade. And paper is the most important part, with all the media watercolour, Coptic, etc.

Oh my gosh, alright I just need to start to start with this. I can relate to you in so many ways, I'm still young right now but I have used a lot of these tips you said, like trying different art supplies, social media, a lot of the things you said, and I improved a lot, I will definitely try some of the tips I haven't used yet. I do want to have a career in art, but it's going to be art for what I really want to do with life. I've wanted to be an author for a LONG time and once I realized I was getting into art also I was stuck in the middle of "Oh I can't be an author if I want to do youtube and book illustrations for my job" and "I can definitely not be an artist I want to write books! I have to, it's been my dream job for over 5 years!" then I found out that I could be an illustrator for my own books and since then I've always aspired to keep following those dreams. I've found myself more confident when listening to youtube artists talk about past mistakes and suggestions to improve. Especially since I've found your channel I've been improving a lot and more satisfied with my art, I find that listening to you boosts my confidence in my own art style and makes me believe one day I can accomplish my dreams. I really want to thank you for this, since you have made my journey in art and even writing (even though you aren't even a writer) more possible in a way. Really, your a very inspiring person.

I absolutely agree with kneadable erasers, but in my experience they tend to get very sticky over time and are somewhat expensive.. However a couple years ago I started using blue- tac instead (not the exact brand, but similar) and I found it to be just as effective. I thought I’d share it it in case someone doesn’t know where to get kneadable erasers or doesn’t have one at hand :) Very nice video btw, I think beginners will benefit greatly by following your advice

[@TheCameraLuvsMe]

Thanks for this vid! I'm not a beginner but I still found it insightful. I related to the part about markers so hard cause a few months ago was when I stupidly realised that...markers aren't lightfast. It's so obvious but I hadn't given it any thought. And I asked myself why I'm investing so much in expensive brands of what's essentially a sketching medium when I can invest in supplies that are long lasting on paper and more cost effective. I also wish I had known about all the possible art careers when I was younger too. I knew about graphic design and animation but not the different sub groups of design and about illustration jobs. I wish I had known just to be able to convince my mom there's hope for me in art. I told her about animation simply because I knew it was lucrative but not because I actually feel like doing it. And if you're not passionate about something or you don't know what you want to do, it's hard to convince others to have faith in you. Thanks again for the vid, and great work on the painting!: D

I love how your tortoise came out! I don't know what it is about it but it makes me feel happy. I think it has a lot to the do with the colors. And well, the fact that it's a tortoise. I wish I had known it's more than possible to become a professional artist earlier too. (I'm not one yet, but it's a comforting thought since I want to be one) I also wish I knew it's okay to take risks like that. If it doesn't work out you can always fall back on something else. You don't have to be a starving artist for the rest of your life XD

[@13angelsfalling]

I love the painting! I have a pet tortoise, and that illustration was on point. Great discussion in the video, I love it so much! (Also, what supplies did you use in the video?)

[@zaneisaac]

My biggest problem is stubbornness. I love drawing from video games, horror movies, and my own creepy characters, and I feel lost and in an art block whenever I try to draw from life. I just find it boring. I like twisting shapes and people into different things and creatures, not drawing what I already see. But if I want to improve on anatomy and lighting, I need to experiment with different media, draw new things, attack my weaknesses and decide on a damn sketchbook and fill it before moving on for once. This channel has helped me come out of my shell and experiment, but now I need to push myself to continue to innovate on my skills. Thank you.

I just bought some gouache too! I'd love to hear how you're liking it compared to watercolor so far. I wish I had learned a good work ethic as a young artist. I thought I was good because people told me so, I could have studied and practiced much more in highschool. I also would tell myself that you don't need to do things "the right way" . If I had stuck to the kind of drawing i naturally enjoyed instead of trying to jump on the bandwagons I saw, I would be much more skilled by now. Also im sad that no one told you about kneaded erasers, lol, my middle school art teacher made them required
