How I Practice? (Step by Step way to become PRO!)

[@lionelwunsch3717]

You're the first KZbin artist that said something else than "practice,practice,draw,draw". This video really helped me to understand how to get better. You're the best!!!

[@SMOENOVA]

i‘ll help you with the „white magic“, to understand it... your book looks perfect for this mission! And don’t paint stupid squares. paint nature, paint things, use a pen and never use an eraser. this is best practice. looking forward to next month, when i‘ll start youtube again too!!! 👍👍👍 big up my friend

[@SMOENOVA]

Lemon Yellow yes, we are strong in different disciplines. i remember 😂😂

[@leohuxtable439]

Graffiti kinda provides us with "squares" and other geometric shapes. We just call them letters. Blocky straight letters work fine for practicing most of the fundamentals. Should be less monotonous for most people. He can also work on a single aspect at a time. Something that's a bit harder esp. with nature.

What are your goals in ART making? 👀

[@elijahsnyder1339]

Learning how to draw people!

[@joethehoeless9650]

There was a 90 percent off ULTIMATE art course but my mom got home to late so im just gonna have to watch your vids and read the graffiti book 🙂 I want to make characters and poses for characters, like comic book style, and get better at graff as well

[@BlaringHail]

Defining what makes my art style. (I tend to worry too much about not being able to draw everything)

[@garnichtuebel]

Defenetly Smoe level

[@ondraspendlik9759]

Traditional art (drawing, painting, sculpting, 2D and 3D design, want to be able to draw/paint/sculpt pretty much everything you can imagine, different styles). Goals would be official posters for local movie festival, official posters for music festivals, art display of my work, music album covers and booklets, public artworks, such as murals or posters, industrial design (useful and aesthetic solutions),maybe even creative solutions for parks, squares and such (benches, lights, bus stops or whatever), merchandise design, raw art (drawings, paintings)

[@matko5419]

Can you try to do old school looking graffiti ?

[@guyperson3278]

That would be a cool challenge, maybe only paint with old school cans and try to make it look like an 80s subway peice.

How are you now. still making graffiti?

[@iam_nexus80]

I wouldnt have the patience to do something like your plan, so I'm really impressed how much ambition and motivation you radiate. Keep the good work, I love what you are doing.

[@aloquin777]

You're absolutely correct! If someone wants to get better, and they just keep drawing without any study, then they won't get better because they won't realize what tgey are doing wrong. Your strategy is fantastic- focused and determined. I can't wait to see how you progress (even though you're already awesome)!

[@flowerbloom5782]

I really like what u said about the famous line “draw a lot” cause yeah, it’s very vague. I like to make small goals for myself. For example I made a list of things I need to learn like anatomy, gesture, perspective, color theory, etc. Then I scored them by which is the most important and I most lacked on. I noticed that perspective is what I most lacked and needed to know so I just focused on that for a few months( I still practice). I watched in depth perspective videos like drawabox lesson one and the notes. Biggest advice I got from my art teacher is make practice fun. I noticed I kept more information when I had more fun. Here’s another advice I found on my own and that is stop trying to think that every drawing must be a “masterpiece” and feel perfectionistic cause in a few years your gonna notice your “perfect” drawing isn’t so perfect. Your gonna notice a lot of mistakes anyway so it’s better to draw for YOUR sake. I found that there’s more energy and appeal in a drawing I made with fun even if it had a lot of mistakes than a drawing I was stressing over. (The “perfect” drawing felt stiff) Treat art like an adventure.

[@henryostler6377]

Omg I don’t even used to see English videos (cause is not my first lenguage) but you catch me at the first min and it’s like if I just get the ability or the connection to understood all you said!

Ty so much!! 🙏🏼 good vibes!

[@gazdovicihoria2928]

Dude,practicing is the best advice, I didn’t see results in three years,my advice is to keep practicing and the results will come to you.

[@ghaosgirl]

Can you keep us updated with your progress? Would be really interesting to see! Maybe record some clips of you practicing and show us a overview of you sketchbook so far? And maybe do a review of you strategy in two months and tell us what did work and didn't work? I think a lot of us struggle with the fundamentals, especially when not going to art school, so it would be really interesting to see how you learn the fundamentals so we can try to incorporate that into our own practice (:

[@mrdraws1351]

nice way of working around the issues that you have. I find for fills and extra bits on graff that if you see a pattern or a color scheme on the net or real life screenshot or take a photo then put it in a folder. When you are stuck for ideas they are great jumping off points.

The thing is that art is not something to learn. In my opinion you were an artist, because you werent influenced by all this "knowlege", you did what you felt and thats art to me. Now your trying to be perfect, to plan everything, but art is sometime something spontanaeous.. Greetings from germany

Best tip for toys: buy lots of paper. Like LOTS. Dont even worry about getting the right markers and stuff first, just try sketches, and different things very barebones first. Pencil, and paper. Do that until you start to become satisfied with what you are creating, then expand by adding the colors and other elements.

To be honest, I have the luck to have good cousins and one of em do graffitis so he learned me the basics, right now he’s better than me but he told me that one day I’ll be better than him, both graffitis and tags. My goal is to be as good as you and Smoe, and maybe better. But for me, graffitis writers cannot be compare due to each unique painting style.

Do you have tips on finding your own writing style(Graffiti letters wise) because i don't necessarily know where to start and how to find stuff that looks good.Because i would just try practice already existing types of Letters and make my own thing out of it but apparently thats a bad idea.

[@munchy_bones1122]

Yk these alphabets that u can easily find basically every where.

With things like idk faces you at least have something that you can base on But graffiti letters often have barely anything to do with the "normal" Letters.
