I can definitely relate, and that has definitely been my biggest roadblock as an artist. To me, Peter Han has been a huge inspiration. I’m paraphrasing, but basically he often tells his students to remember that “this isn’t your last drawing” (unless you make it your last) so it doesn’t matter how it turns out. And it’s true. In the beginning stages, it’s really just about doing it.

The sooner you start, the sooner they'll be out of your system." I know that's not an original line, but its the right attitude IMHO-- always draw, every day if you can. It's helped me a lot.

I dont know about western countries but here in major part of Asia, there is this trend/practice of doing quick sketch where you sketch anything (mostly human figure) from real life within a minute a two. And we do this in a massive number like, 50 to 200 per day so in universities, students usually do around 6000 to 10000 quick sketches per semester so what this does is basically co-ordinates your hand to eye connection, makes you a better observer and generally after so many sketches you kind of develop a muscle memory for basic sketches.

Don't get frustrated, angry or depressed, try to just stay positive and simply carry on. Once I learned to see things this way, I swear mate I feel like I had an epiphany, and after 4 months my improvements were bigger than ever! Also remember that ALL the greatest artists started like us, just beginners with no experience but they didn't let the failures defeat them! You can get where you want to be, just hit that sketchbook every day!

I got depression and I really struggle with art now ... Every time I started to paint, it hit me so much. My head started to hurt and I got blackouts. I also lost fun, patience and self-confidence. Art used to be my passion ... now it's my dark emotional release, which is not bad at all. My body just doesnt work with me and after every painting I made, I felt horrible, so I stopped. Now that I've seen this video, I feel very comfortable and confident. Even if I cannot paint big artworks anymore, I will try not to think about it so much and rather start all over again to build myself up slowly. I will be patient with my body. I will try to love and live with all the power of my heart. From now on I will focus with my thoughts, words and actions to a goal and tackle things with enthusiasm. I'm very grateful for it, you all help me a lot ! 😇♥️♾♥️

Art is my anti-depressant. Whether just coloring someone else's llneart in a fun, comic-book kind of way, or following this guy's tutorials and painting epic vistas. Just following my art heart and doing something to make me or someone else smile... makes my day. if not week. Keep going, rebuild. You'll get there. It can be a struggle. (Not joking about the anti-depressant thing. My depressive episodes used to be sooo bad until I got back into art. Now, so much better. And they lessen with each improvement in my abilities. Every lesson learned. And don't beat yourself up about any mistakes. Try to embrace them, use them, learn from them.)

What I've really been having trouble with is the fact that I'm blinded by my goals in drawing; There's this picture in my head that must be expressed on paper- yet that picture is far beyond my current capabilities. In having the fear that I could be practicing the wrong skills by drawing random objects, I end up drawing nothing at all and stagnating. All the while, I see art all around me that looks amazing. Instead of being inspired, I am discouraged. Thus is the beginner's self perpetuating cycle that ceases all development. How do you escape?

I've seen both videos, and, with respect to the master Feng Zhu, I don't think he is the first artist ever to suggest that beginners practice daily and draw simple subjects from life like rocks and trees. In fact, I have a 3D Total Sketch Workshop Landscape book in which the first 2 subjects are...rocks and trees. Those things are just the simplest parts of a more complex whole. Also, Feng Zhu's video went into considerably more detail, included bullet points, reference, and more complex subjects like skulls and animals. Anyway, I think you're fine. Nice video.

Keep pumping out videos, they're not redundant at all and are certainly helping people like myself! Thanks for all that you do, Walid.

You know, this is such a great tip. I consider myself to be a high level artist as I've been drawing for a long time and would say I'm quite good. But I see artists who are better than me especially at certain things and I'm frustrated as to why I can't get my art to look how I want. But you gave me the answer, something I used to do that I've forgotten. Just copy stuff from real life. Even simple and boring objects have unique textures and materials that you may want to imitate in your art. After doing this for a long time, you are able to understand things much better and really see improvement in your art. Also never stop drawing because you can start to forget things you've learnt through practise.

Great advise from Vincent Woodcock, a british comic and animation artist - I joined two of his short courses in London, years ago. He said you shouldn't think while you draw; what he meant by that is that you shouldn't be judging what you are sketching during your warmin-up or when you are looking for ideas, because otherwise many ideas and discoveries won't make it into your sketchbook (or on paper sheets) and therefor you won't have the chance to develop it. Like, if you don't make it visible for your eyes, you won't recognise the potential of your ideas and exercices. He suggested to wildly sketch, and afterwards to go through the sketches. Here starts the point where you will apply a critical yet creative mindset, and collecting what's useful for your further work. If you feel stuck, repeat the first step. Helps me a lot, bc I tend to stare at my sketchbook page with the pencil in my hand and many ideas in my mind but kinda think they are silly, not good or not useful and won't even put them down on paper. I hope this helps someone else as well!
