Yeah, it's sad how envious some people are. The whole art community should support each other to feel the support. I know many of us want to be huge artists, and social media platforms don't support us, but that doesn't give us the right to shame others just because we're not doing as good as them

[@sashawolfson3602]

I can agree. As an Artist, I'm proud to see the Progress of Pewd's art journey. It's very much an inspiration. You don't have to be a national-born talented person to be a artist. Art takes patience and effort.

[@Ravenpeko]

I have no clue why they’re contributing his art to money. Like all he used was some pencils, markers, etc. it wasn’t even expensive markers such as copic or ohuhu. Also he drew everyday for like a whole year, and he actually used his time well. Instead of drawing the same thing everyday, he focused on other styles. He switched art styles, drew something other than his usual “cute anime girl”, he focused on different fundamentals like perspective. He even went and tried drawing a city in two point-perspective. Sure, he’s talented, but he also worked hard and went outside of his comfort zones to draw things he’s not used to. I feel that a lot of people who are contributing his success to being talented and rich are just trying to cope. Because they don’t draw everyday or actually try to study fundamentals like pewds, they’re trying to cope by saying that he’s only gotten to where he is from money and talent, and not because of him being diligent and learning effectively. Art is a process, that process might be faster for some people but that doesn’t mean you can go try to go find faults with their process. The art community is slowly becoming more and more toxic by the day it seems. Haiyahh…

It comes down to to how dedicated you are, and if someone quits just because someone else made progress, than how dedicated were they really?

[@jacobbittner1878]

Same but for me it was trying something new for drawing, drawing at a new angle for instance.

[@MrBazBake]

This whole thing is complicated but not complicated. First, yes, PewDiePie can literally do nothing but practice drawing. That's what art school is. He's basically skipped the step by not having to ever work for the rest of his life and making his life art school. YOU, GENERIC YOU READING THIS, CANNOT DO THIS. This is how money works. It's not a science, it's common sense. And he has god-loads of money. 30 days for PewDiePie is probably closer to 240-480 days for a normal person because normal people have other things to do all the time to survive. He doesn't. His struggle is mathematically, provably over forever. He has several peoples' lifetimes of cash in the bank. 100 days for him is 2-4 years for normal people. 365 days for him is 4-8 years for normal people. Because... he's rich. He can draw 8-16 hours a day. 99% chance that you can't. Sorry. But 2-4 years is a manageable period of time if you have an hour or two a day. And that's why PewDiePie's experiment is useful -- not because you will ever likely have his time but because you PROBABLY HAVE TIME to set aside for a few years to learn to do something you love. But make no mistake, he didn't grab his bootstraps to pull himself up here. He's been standing for a decade. 😂 2. The people who suddenly use eugenics to explain having time and tons of money... not surprising. Capitalism only works if you believe rich people deserve to be rich because they're naturally gifted. And this leads to defending the advantages and opportunities of wealth (even the occasional acquired and earned wealth that comes from talent or celebrity) with a belief in natural hierarchies, and that some people are born deserving more and others are born deserving less. This whole controversy is just people mad a rich guy has time and other people irrationally assuming time doesn't matter and that he's got magic blood. He does not have magic blood. This is 2024. Is this something they teach in creepy little private schools run by mysterious German-speaking elderly men who won't tell you their backstory? Both are relevant to the discussion. The first is completely right but unproductive without a patient explanation, the second is just fascism and the result of desperately defending the obvious contradictions and inequalities of capitalism. Defending fascism won't make people better artists. It will tell artists not to try.

Someone picks up a pencil, teaches himself to draw, puts in the time and effort to get better? Art community also gets mad. Make up your damn minds, for fuck's sake. If you get jealous over someone who worked hard to get better, are you really an artist? Instead of getting damn envious of his improvement and shitting on it, why don't you all use it as inspiration? I say this as an artist who has not been seeing much improvement on my art either, and Pewd's development has encouraged me to do better. You not improving as fast as he did isn't his fault, it's yours. We can only blame ourselves if our improvement is slow, but we shouldn't beat ourselves up over it-we use that as drive to get better. Nothing will come out of drowning ourselves in self-pity and self-admonishment, we grab our medium, and keep at it.

[@saladslug7432]

I'm absolutely inspired by him. I used to draw many hours a day for many years as a teenager. It helped me express my mental health issues but when I looked into actually improving, I hated myself so much for not being anywhere near to where I should've been after the amount of time I invested. Then as my mental health improved my creativity just died. I actually don't know what happened but it feels like that part of my brain just decayed. I've been wanting to get back into drawing for many years now and seeing PewDiePie do this and being open about his insecurity, making mistakes but being happy about the things he likes, actually gives me courage to get back into it. So yes I absolutely agree, I am jealous but more so about the fact that he keeps going even if he's struggling.

[@javannapoli2018]

​@@DoodleBlipsame here. The whole reason I felt confident enough to really jump into art as a hobby at the age of 20 was because I saw how much progress some people were able to make in such a relatively short period of time, and I found that very inspiring.

[@vinokai]

Honestly, I feel those are artists that get into drawing thinking it’s an “easy” profit for them. As a self taught artist, I admire Pewds ability to really lock in and focus on what to improve. A lot of people don’t realize that everyone learns and improves at a different rate. During 2020, when everyone had far too much free time, I spent the entire year drawing. I slowly went from really jank line art and zero anatomy to really focusing and improving anatomy and posing throughout the year. Despite my crippling inability to focus, I did see major improvement. Kinda flat lined on improvements at the moment as I focus more on my job, but Drawing is simply another hobby for me.

[@bluetiger2468]

I swear the art community is like "Only draw when you feel like it! ☺" but if someone actually locked in and focused on improving instead of drawing whenever they feel like it, then the art community gets mad. It's toxic positivity. They don't want to see people improve faster than them because it makes them realize how much they've been slacking off. A lot of people don't practice or study art, they just drawing when they feel like it or only drawing the things they want to draw.

[@melantharosewood]

If anything, me seeing a KZbinr I watched quite a bit as a kid made me want to keep going as an artist, just like how me seeing other artists’ improvements have motivated me to keep going. There is nothing wrong with feeling a bit of jealousy, in fact jealousy is a feeling we all get because it’s a natural emotion and reaction. It’s *HOW* we handle the jealousy that ends up being the issue. In this case, the way some of those artists were straight up being negative and acting like PewDiePie insulted them and spat on their hard work on art and flamethrowered them, they handled their emotions very poorly.

​@@melantharosewood a little bit if jealousy can do good too, if it's kept under control. The "oohhh that's so cool I'm going to try that too" is going to get you somewhere. Positive jealousy leads to motivation. Negative jealousy lead to art block, anger and resentment.

[@RedLenai]

I think I know why Felix has been able to improve so much in so little time: 1- He knows what he wants to do and what to improve, or at least he realizes quickly what he has to improve based on what he feels he doesn't like from his drawings. 2- He is proactive and once figured out what he wants to draw or doesn't like in his drawings, he searches for the information related to said things 3- He compromises and even if its for a short period of time, he draws each day and forces him to keep said consistency 4- He consumes art, consumes media, therefore his eyes is trained to be able to quickly realize "I don't like this thing from my drawing = I should improve on this" 5- The only thing we can say its because "He is already famous", is the fact that he has overcome the demons of ego already, when he improves he feels good but doesn't let it get to his head and be over confident, he still sees the flaws, he still sees what is wonky.

[@sircinabun5478]

I don't know about all that. Felix has a history in Art from many years ago and he does have time and no worry for money. Already having some experience and knowing what exactly he wants to do makes the process look a lot easier. Which people are upset about how easy it was portrayed. I do praise his want of growth, dedication and consistency but he does have a lot going for him relative to others which I don't think is right to get mad over. Life never gave the same circumstances to everyone. People also learn at different rates and people have different imaginations too. If people want to learn or get better at making art they should be self comparing to themselves from yesterday, not a person who had past experience and plenty of worry free time. A lot of professional artists use techniques and references, people learning should too as it's very unlikely that they can draw up something amazing on-the-fly when well experienced ones takes their time too. I did not watch this or Felix's video so I will assume it was posted because he was proud of his work or he wanted so show others that they could potentially do the same thing (granted most people will space their time out more which gives the illusion of taking longer even though the same hours are being put in)

​@@sircinabun5478 could you provide the information why you conclude that he has history in drawing? Because he clearly said he didn't draw since he was a child.

We are human, we have many worries, but it depends on how we regulate our worries

[@RedLenai]

@@sircinabun5478 I'm talking as an artist myself but mostly on the perspective that when I'm approached by people who "want to draw better, like me", they just leave it at it. They don't specify what they want to learn, on what to focus or to specify their problem in "bite-size" way. I didn't see Felix videos etiher, so I'm making my assumption based on what is shown in this one. And it does give me the feeling that Felix does not overwhelm himself with broad concepts or tasks, but goes bit by bit. Like how you tell someone to clean a house, some will get overwhelmed not knowing from where to start or being completely disorganized, while others will do for example: From top to bottom, upper floor to downstairs. I work fulltime as an artist, money was always short, youth was always occupied with responsabilities and obligation, both mine and logical for my age, and others unfairly put on me. Yet I did the effort of putting myself a responsability to what I liked to do, sometimes it is sacrifices, like sleeping less, multitasking, using the cheapest material you can find or simply do other non-obligatory things in order to get access to a resource you consider necessary. So, my comment is mostly from the perspective of a third world country person, a poor background, public education, no privacy, not enough free time. I understand what is like to compare yourself to others, however I never understood the rush, yes, I do know everyone learns at different speed, however, not many have a lot of discipline, are able to self-critize themselves and be proactive into searching for resources, to make time or do certain efforts, mostly because there is no actual loss if they just don't do it, for some there is no income at stake, there is no expectations from others to worry about, therefore, with a lack of something forcing you to compromise then you unconsciously or consciously take some liberties, and that's something many try to deny, and this is something said as someone who has been around the art community both english and spanish speakers for almost two decades. People compare themselves to others because its a matter of ego, a lot of people are not quite used to accept the fact there are others better than them, or more dedicated than them, its a common thing to find people who were given the tag of the art kid, singular, some are still adapting to the fact that there are others like them (consciously we are all aware of this, but the unconscious that's a bit more tricky), at least I always found that some people were the sole art kids in their families, friend groups or even their whole class, therefore they have already given themselves a sense of uniqueness and pride on being the art kid. So they are not used to the presence of another artistic person, they compare themselves because internally they feel a sense of threat over sharing the attention. Some use that as fuel to motivate themselves to get better, others just sink themselves, some have it a bit harder since they were used to be "talented or naturals" and didn't require constant effort and constant learning, and now that there is someone "to compete against" it drains them. At least that's how I see it, it takes years to overcome, or at least to manage. I have a long road ahead myself, I won't deny that that at the beginning it was "So unfair others have it easier than me" too. But I always try analyze my circumstances and try different alternatives, until I find something that works, I know, its a lot of effort and at points seems meaningless. Then its when you find patience is key. I apologize for the ramble, but I think that's just how my thinking process is, I try to tackle down as much as possible

I barely could even latpull a 30kg and I'm now repping 60kg. And like Pewds said, progress isn't a straight line. Sometime I fall back, sometime I didn't progress better than last session, sometime I get frustrated and quit halfway through the session. All it matters is that you are able to get back on track and keep pushing. Edit: lots of my replies are saying I am treating 35 years olds as if they are 70.

When i was in art school that was also one of our tasks, was no matter what it was we had to draw every day, as much as i hated it and i struggled sometimes it was a necessary lesson on how to train /study. I'm glad he managed to push himself through it while enjoying the process, art is something i wish people would do more regardless of skill and i feel like his vid proves anyone can do it and get to a point in which they are content with their skills/ enjoy art.

I'm a very amateur musician and songwriter. there are millions of musicians and songwriters out there, and there are so many music pieces and songs that I know I could not even begin to compose, write, or even cover because it's out of my current talent range. but I'm not gonna give up on that cuz that's literally insane??

That's not fair. I do agree to a certain degree. Cause pewds does have the financial security to not have to worry about money. Being an artist. I scrape for money to get time to make art. Which is probably what people are kind of reacting on. The idea that an artist is someone who has suffered through learning their skills. Pewds path to becoming an artist is a bit different. But not much different than that of rich kids going to art school paid by their familiy. There are plenty of artists today who came to be in a very similar way that pewds is. I feel like pewds path is different because he still had to go through the struggle to reach this point. He has the artists background as he did actually fight for what he got today. So i think these few people online that this channel now tries to imply is every artist out there (hiding generalization by wrapping it in saying "the artist community") are maybe just like you say. Lazy people who like to think of them selves as artists. They are most likely sons and daughters of parents with money. While not attending art class.

So I agree with you people complaining are just people who have no time management skills or don't want to spend like 10 min that day on a drawing that doesn't even have to be good it could just be a crappy doodle.

Lets be honest, most people crying about this saying "I gave my life to this" are lying to us and to themselves. No, you didn't.

[@velvi8359]

I used to be like this in highschool, I would cry out in jealousy all the time and get mad my dA didn't have a bazillion followers. It was my fault though, my art was mediocre and I refused to study, refused to use my intuos tablet more and get comfortable with it, refused to use references, and refused to make art consistently. I only started improving when I put my pride to the side and took other people's advice and properly studied.

[@Wxtermon]

[@vinderbelt]

​@@velvi8359do I actually have to do DUMB things (from my point of view) to get better at art? How stupid, infuriating and seemingly pointless! (sarcasm ofc but, I seriously think that way and yes that's exactly why I'm bad at art and I'm crying about it 😭)

[@vickypedia1308]

​@vinderbelt I will always stand by the fact that unless you're trying to monetize your art or join the industry, there is absolutely no reason for you to have to rapidly improve except for your own high standards. It's fine if your art sucks right now, the point is having fun. I don't practice often because it's not fun for me, and sometimes I sketch something, realize it's too ambitious for my skill level, and either put it aside for the future or accept that it's going to look bad and draw it anyway. The end result is only one small part of the journey. I see no point in forcing yourself to study if it takes the fun out of art for you. Do it if you want to, and if you don't and rather stick to what's easy for you, that's okay too.

[@vinderbelt]

@vickypedia1308 but it sucks to choose between "easy" and "fun" when others can do both along with "money" and "more fun than you ever thought you'd have"!

the entire mentality of artists is pushing back against ignorant idiots who say art is just natural born talent, so the fact they will do the same shit to put down someone who said something fucked years ago is really disappointing. this should be seen as a testament that we can all learn art and a way to express yourself. genuinely if someone's progress makes you want to quit art, literally go outside, put down your phone and paint a mountain.

[@spruce-ui2eh]

People say I have natural born talent too because I was way ahead of my time in my teenage years- but I wasn't, because I drew just as much ugly stuff as anyone else. I have sletchbook after sketchbook of just- junk. It wasn't junk though, because each of those papers thought me how to draw. Now it feels like that never happened because I was eleven yers old then and my memory is crap, but it did happen. I'm always so sad when people look at my art feel dissapointed that they can't do the same, because with enough effort and time they can.

[@StripesChaosGremlin]

​@spruce-ui2eh I watched on siblings go through entire sketch books every few months. I've seen the effort they put in, every crappy drawing and the signs of improvement. I used to dabble in vector art and I can see the progression I made in the bits and pieces I made. And that was just me dabbling out of curiosity and wanting to try.

Answer is simple - people are stuрid, Felix not. People devote themselves entirely to procrastination or mindless drawing of something rather than studying.

[@YG21.03]

the people who complain about him are the ones who draw without actually learning so they make the same mistakes over and over so they don't get as much of a result or progress as much as they want over a certain period of time so when they see someone else who actually pursues it in a dedicated format and them getting more results in the same if not lesser time period than them, they get insecure and feel shitty about themselves so rather than shift focus and start learning and dedicate themselves more to their art they choose to rather shift the blame to others because it's easier to make it someone else's fault than face the mirror/truth.

[@Quinnel]

yep, well put! the saying "it takes 1000 drawings" doesn't just mean drawing mindlessly 1000 times. You gotta actually research and learn from your mistakes and move forward. pewpewdie's videos shows a good representation of someone getting caught up in being comfortable with drawing one particular thing and then eventually venturing out to challenge themselves.. you don't get the immediate satisfication but you have to tell yourself to keep it up.

The art community's reaction to PewDiePie's art journey was out of jealousy of course, but this is where instead of having some self reflection, realizing they were jealous, and using it be happy for PewDiePie AND fuel their passion for their own art and do it whenever they can etc. They instead focused on trying to bring someone down instead of building them up. I know PewDiePie has a few controversies in his past, not excusing or ignoring any of them. Just saying community is about support and acceptance not the opposite.

[@rhysplaysvirtual]

I'm in my early thirties now. Been drawing my entire life. My art stagnated between ages 11-25. Very little improvement, even with drawing every day,and I wasn't really trying to improve. I picked drawing back up to do a fancomic back in 2019 and the progress I started making, even though I wasn't trying to improve, was insane. I don't even draw too often, only when I can find the motivation. The difference between then and now is that I wasn't doing the comic to make art, I was doing it because I wanted to tell a story. Once I stopped focusing on "I have to make this look good or I failed..." that's when my art broke free and began naturally broadening.

I've genuinely grown to never be mad or discouraged on something due to someone being better at it, due to my brother. I tried 2D art for a while and didn't see any improvement nor satisfying quality, couldn't even draw a decent curve. He learned to make whole anime-style faces that looked nigh perfect to me in the span of a few weeks, but I had learned from him that it wasn't being better that counted, and you shouldn't compare yourself to others or discourage you/others either.

[@vanessasonica]

People failed to understand that everyone improves at different rates. You’re not in a time limit to learn art. Art is a roller coaster of improvement, not a steady climb. Some people gotta chill, instead of being upset at him improving, you should use that energy to motivate & improve yourself. Materials will not make you better nor define your skill, effort & creativity will. Pencil & paper works fine, even using a stick to draw on the dirt works. Don’t expect to be a master if you don’t even practice or put some work.

[@IOverlord]

This. It's unfortunately true that not everyone has the same learning rate and ability on different aspects of human endeavors nor the resources to explore and improve on things they might have interests in. But if you have the self-awareness to acknowledge that some people are just genetically gifted that gives them an edge in life, you won't hate and find reasons to throw shade on them if they are just trying to share their progress. It is what it is.

I have two thoughts. Firstly, I'm glad you're not just unreasonably hating on him but offering genuine takes, advice, and criticism of points like the age one. I feel the internet is often more about tearing down the next man/woman than actually being reasonable. And while as a viewer it can be entertaining, it's also easy to sour your view on humanity. So I always appreciate more genuine level headed takes on things. Secondly, I like that he pushed himself to do and try something new. Life is easy to get comfortable where we are, and not move foward into new things just because while it may not be perfect, it's familiar. And when this happens, we stop opening ourselves up to new experiences due to risk of failure and change. I wish I had the strength to do this. I love viewing art, but I know I suck at it. So never given it a genuine chance. Maybe I'll give it a go sometime. See if I can't get better at it. Thank you for this video.

You can try to catch up to people like PewDiePie, but you would need to put in 100x more effort.

And to be fair not improving in three months isn't the worst outcome I've been drawing for a long time and my art is still hardly amazing. still, I understand wanting to invest in other things you're good at as long as you don't regret your attempt at trying something new (you shouldnt)

As with pretty much any skill, some people are going to have a genetic predisposition to it that will make them able to learn at a much faster pace than normal (e.g. talent).

However to deny that talent is real, and to insist that everyone has the same innate aptitude to learn any skill, is simply to deny reality.

Pewd's proving drawing is a skill and not a talent Art Community: "REEEeeeeeeeee"

[@BatFan1]

Absolutely. Ive been drawing since I could hold a pencil but that's because I enjoyed it, doesn't mean I was naturally talented, none of my parents had artistic skills, though my mother was handy with crafts. Even as a teenager when I was still developing I could teach others the basics, others who themselves said they didn't have the talent for it. Once I showed them how to construct a face it blew their minds. When I showed them you can draw starting with stick figures they were like "what? that's for us hacks" but after using the basic shapes to build the body, again their mind was blown.

The irony of the entire thing is the best artists out there currently are all supportive of pewdiepie it's all the shit artists that are crying

@@dadcomeback1470 yeah I don't understand what the jealousy is. Right now PewDiePie can draw, draw basic forms in a basic pose. It's not like the guy is now drawing full comics or making an animation by himself. I'm glad he wants to learn perspective, once he learns that he can construct a scene. He hasn't challenged himself to draw multiple characters interacting with each other in a perspective shot.

@@BatFan1 if you look at the drawings on the accounts of the people who are complaining it's because he is better than them after a year when they've been "drawing" (and i use quotes cause they finish 1 simple drawing in 4 months) for over 5 years

Lol they forgot that pewd basically started drawing since he was a child, even made money from it to buy PC during his middle school era or something. Then became winner of some Photoshop art contest when he was in university. Sure he is newbie when it comes to drawing anime style, but it's not like he is newbie in drawing at all. Maybe has proper teacher too.

Honestly... This video has maybe finally helped inspire me to draw again. If he can do it, so can I
