Do you need talent to learn to draw?

[@adamosborne330]

I couldn't agree more with you on this video Shoo. Inspirational stuff !! Please don't EVER stop making videos !!

[@MundaneMuser]

I like how positive you seem to be in your videos - the tone of your voice and laughing occasionally.

[@Azishome]

My novel writing professor propounded his theory that writing is a highly-stylized form of drawing, and that all the same properties and principles that are involved in drawing are involved in writing: light, shadow, movement (what was the Mona Lisa doing just before she smiled?), and so forth. He also noted that the eye uses the same rods and cones to interpret fiction that people use to see. Though it is much too complex to cover here, I have used his theory for decades. I'm glad to hear you say the things you did.

I finally filled a whole sketchbook now the fun begins adding the color. Your a very fun person I love your channel

[@yvonnebouwhuis9419]

I find that it took me a while to learn to that art is a combination of desire and determination to be successful I have always painted and sketched in my spare time but over the course of that last 2 years began to do daily sketches and now I feel like i am more confident and skilled because the materials and the muscle memory of drawing are always familiar and fresh. I now feel strange if I go too long without putting something down on paper. I am good at drawing because I choose to be not because some wizard gave me a magic drawing hand. :)

[@ericduchesnes7340]

Thank you Shoo, I'm still learning to draw... and it's good to hear what you're saying in this video... it makes me feel better ! and I realise that even though my drawings are not as good as I want them to be, I can keep on learning, I don't have to argue, only keep on the work and believe one day I will be able to draw like... a pro, that's my goal, my graal ! ( I want to be cartoonist... 😭 ) ... And may be an angel will help me to improve my skills during my work, I hope so, because I'm really strugling to reach this level !... 😢 I like the way you speak about drawing, that's peacefull and stressless, thank you ! 🎠

[@ericduchesnes7340]

Thank you so much Shoo for these advices, that 's very kind of you ! I can feel you're pointing exactly what I have to work on ! 🎯 👍 🤓 🙆‍♂️ 🏆

[@annechumbley7284]

Thank you for this video. I have been practising drawing for a few months now, I am by no means at a high standard like yourself, but I can definitely see an improvement. Your videos have really inspired and given me confidence in myself. Thank you x.

It takes time and practice, but dont be hard on yourself. you may like this video kzbin.info/www/bejne/m6S2kJudo8-FeKc and this kzbin.info/www/bejne/sJfGlXaaftKJn7s you don't need to be a pro! take care and be gentle on yourself 😀

[@peluso_palit]

My ambition of this year 2018, is draw anything one page per week. Anything, doodle, geometry pattern, mandala, flower, etc.. Just very simple drawing, ink drawing. Sometimes fill the colors with watercolors. At least spend one hour per day, watch youtute, google photo that im interesting as reference. Thank you, Shoo! You're give very good advice.

[@peluso_palit]

Shoo Rayner that's right. I draw like i'm practicing violin, ya, i play violin... To build up muscle memories, it takes time but effective. 😁

[@moriganna67ify]

Oh Shoo you just put my thoughts into words. I began carrying around simple twistable colouring pencils, pencils to draw, fine liners and mini (they are mini scrapbooks but do the trick as they are blank pages LOL)sketch books in my bag. When I am having coffee I get to work on an "idea" floating in my head. I have been asked multiple times if I was the one drawing. I say Uhm Yes LOL! Then I get the wildest compliments. Thing is I never feel they are any good. Yet people stop me and ask me about what I am doing and are amazed. LOL I got called creative and not sure what to think of that! hahaha!

[@moriganna67ify]

Shoo Rayner exactly. I love going into the local Art Gallery and admiring others works. Take Jean Michel Basquiat. Just at a glance you would think a child could create one of his art pieces. However if one looks at the intricacies you will see he is simply using an old art form. Almost primitive.and like Jackson Pollock who is the first to separate abstract lines from colour. Simply amazing!

[@TafakkaMen]

Thank you so much for the inspiration.

[@danielgraf8001]

I disagree. I practice on and on and barely see any improvements. Very frustrating!

You gotta believe it. Your disbelief is your hindrance. You have to see past, the illusions, of incapability... Good luck, friend!❤️

[@123rockfan]

I’ve been learning to draw for 2 hours a day and I’ve been getting better and better, in fact I can draw an extremely realistic owl while looking at a reference. But unfortunately I don’t think people can learn creativity - I have an extremely difficult time with actually being artistic

[@JeppePaaBjerget]

Creativity is something you can learn, I have attended design school and we were taught how to think Creativ and work with creativity. First, Creativity comes from problem solving. But creativity also comes from making 100 sketches of an idea and constantly trying to change that idea. It's about getting as many thoughts on paper as possible. just like a mind map. That's how all the arts do. They do a whole lot of sketches and do a lot of tests before they reach the final result.

[@sexycavetroll2788]

great video, I 1oo% agree. theres a person in my friend circle who tries to be "the artist" type so hard it comes off forced and phoney. if he spend half the time drawing as he does pretending to emulate what he thinks a artist should be he would be pretty good. p.s. I love tat ya said ya don't need drug/booze. I have 3 years clean and I noticed my creativity is stronger. its almost likeits own muscle I had to work ou

It easy to talk when you had the chance to start young. I have been drawing for 7 years and have yet to make a single work of decent quality. Please stop spreading lie about talent. Don't you think it is insulting for people that work their ass off and get nothing in return to say?

[@shooraynerdrawing]

But... YOU had a chance to start young. You just didn't take it. stop being so hard on yourself and enjoy it. Sounds like you are making a martyr of yourself. Good luck

[@jjhzujgkjiolk1758]

What is a talent?

[@cappokenneth]

I find it annoying when you say everyone can draw, it simply is not true, the same as there are many people who can't read and write, The only people who can draw are those who want to, and those who don't have any physical or mental problem that prevents them, something as simple as having shaky hands can prevent you from controlling the pencil.

[@cappokenneth]

@@shooraynerdrawing The definition of Drawing: the art or technique of representing an object or outlining a figure, plan, or sketch by means of lines. I'm sorry, but making a mark in the sand does not make you an artist

How to become an artist without talent :digital art

[@Rem-sb6xz]

Buy me one i will be best because well...i wanna be a manga artist and old traditional style is kinda hard it would be easy at digital graphicstablet i well can't afford it right now maybe later on

[@shooraynerdrawing]

If you want to be a manga artist then you need to draw in a sketchbook everyday. Digital wont help you. It will make you look like any other manga artist. It's such a goal that you need to just stop wanting and get on and do the hard work. Get a pen and sketchbook and go! Good luck 👍

Soooooooo basically - yeah you can draw but you’ll be shit at it without talent? Yay… not. Lol

[@shooraynerdrawing]

so wrong - hard work and perseverance beats talent any day. Talent gets lazy. The more you work at it the more talented you get!

[@jimmyilagan4067]

i don't think so! in order for a common human being to be an artist or to be able to draw, is rebirth, with an inborn talent, don't you mock us artist, you old man.

[@jimmyilagan4067]

it's never to late, it's just impossible, simply accept the fact, artist, we are born, not made.

[@muhdyusuf24]

If that's so, I can't even solve most of the mathematical problems. I can't even count money more than a cashier could count. I always failed in the mathematic subject but passed and merely failed the subject on the final exam. I got many A(s) for other subjects but not mathematics. Is this because I was born without the talent to solve the mathematical problems or I'm just plain lazy and stupid?

[@SteSeed]

Anyone can "draw" to an extent, but drawing "properly" as in realistic art is a talent definitely not a skill.

[@shooraynerdrawing]

If you mean by "realistic art" something that looks like a photograph, then that's a learned skill - that's just copying what you se or copying a photograph. The talent/creative,srtistic thing is quite different. that is about ideas. Drawing is one way of manifesting thoughts and ideas. Realism is just acting as a mirror. With Creative artistic talent, you need to bring something else - ideas, understanding, and a new vision.

[@SteSeed]

Your entitled to your opinion of course, but I have to say I disagree. I think drawing to an "acceptable standard" should we say is outright talent. All I ever hear is practice practice practice, I for one have practiced practiced practiced daily and I can honestly say I've gotten nowhere, if anything I got worse, which is why I've thrown in the towel and given up. It's meant to be for some people but not others, pretty much like everything in life, I've dealt with it, given up and I'm moving on, I definitely gave it a damn good try over a fair period of time but it just wasn't meant to be. Thank you for taking the time to reply.
