I would do 2 to 5 pages a day. Back in the first sketchbook i started this practice with i did around 10 pages a day, for the first week i thought i was actually getting worse at drawing and felt like i was really getting no where but when the second week started things started to make sense and things started to click.

[@Bagtalk1016]

Kuzomari yo kuzo do you mind seeing some of my artwork? My insta @hendi.8

[@Ciorno2K]

Ok

[@Ciorno2K]

That sounds nice

[@bellamy5575]

Sorry if this is in the video, where do you find the pictures you study?

[@Artlife0831]

Excellent Video. Around the 7:15 mark, there was a page full of figures broken down into shapes. Are there any tutorials on your patreon detailing this process?

[@watchmen737]

This is the type of video I'd love to see every artist put on KZbin instead of perfect artwork all the time

[@klarkyukhi3424]

its inspiring to not scared in making a lot of mistake

[@pravum3150]

I honestly love how Kuzo's sketchbook is similar to my own. Its messy and experimental. It feels like i can be as good as him someday if i stay on the path

[@xkira566]

@@pravum3150 it's been two years, how your progres ? is that great ?, cause im starting 2month ago and it's getting better everyday and, i relize everyday is always something new to learn

[@pravum3150]

@@xkira566 It's been going slow, but I finally found my "style", i didn't even have to come looking for it. Lines are getting cleaner, still a little messy still fiddling with inks for years made it easier to control and I can draw some stuff without using guidelines now. Keep at it man, It's only been 2 months for you and those early months to a year are rough. Just be consistent, and always draw what makes you happy but don't forget to practice your fundamentals.

[@notoriusdrifter40]

That is a real sketchbook mate.

[@YuliaBball24]

Kuzo: "Here is how you practice. *Does multiple videos on the subject.* Perspective, shapes in perspective, anatomy. *Shows practice sketches how he does them* People: "Hey, Kuzo!! How do you practice??? How to get better?? I suck and I'm never gonna improve, I wish I could be as good at drawing as you!! Do tutorial on this (insert whatever specific subject)!" PEOPLE. He has literally given and shown his formula how he practiced/got better. Now if you actually use your brain a little...and PRACTICE what he has shown...*BOOM* improvement!There's no east way out, and sorry to say, but just listening to a video isn't gonna instantly give you the skills you want. It takes a lot of effort. P.S For those that keep asking for specific tutorials: if you want them that bad, go hit up his patreon!! This stuff takes time to make, and he's already doing so much.

[@unemilifleur]

yulia practicing is hard, people are sometimes impatient and, when they watch other people’s work, they feel like they aren’t progressing.

[@YuliaBball24]

@@unemilifleur Trust me, I understand that VERY well; I'm an artist myself. But lamenting over how you're never gonna be good enough and being envious of anothers skills when said artist went over exactly how he practiced and improved...when did that help anyone to improve?

[@unemilifleur]

yulia I agree with you!

[@gisellemartinez6828]

Very important to practice took me 2 years to get to a point where i am okay with my art...i still have a long way to go..just know of u practice and use references it will help u. Ik u hear this all the time..but trust me its possible

[@chicagoneurolife]

Have you considered that maybe those individuals haven’t gone through his page to find those videos? Often times people comment the first or first few videos they find, instead of exploring the person’s page thoroughly to answer those questions for themselves. It’s not always that people are being lazy or impatient, although, I’m seeing people jump to that conclusion a lot and I would argue that that is a bit of a lazy or impatient thing to do in itself. It is also a bit condescending to tell people to “use their brains a little”, especially without fully understanding the perspective. I doubt most of the people asking, aren’t aware that practice is needed. They aren’t looking for an alternative to practice nor are they expecting that watching a video will instantly give them the ability (that seems like a ridiculous accusation to me) like a lot of people assume. They are looking for effective practice tips that may benefit them. The way one artist practices may not work for others. Also, some artists don’t have good practice skills or habits, not say the artist of this account is that case. So, exploring different practice approaches until you find the right one for you is key. My advice would be to watch various videos from different artists and try their practice ideas. It could also help that those who are familiar with the artist’s page could link those people the specific videos where he covers those questions, and then judge the reaction instead of assuming that they are looking for an “easy way out”, which seems to be a bad habit online. As to people being envious of others artistic ability, I wouldn’t take that too seriously. Heck I go through that from time to time my darn self. As long as they don’t stop exploring and practicing they’ll be alright.

[@bhumidrawz7358]

I really like that how your sketch book is all filled and have everything unlike other artists on KZbin who's sketch book just filled with pretty illustrations only.

[@jayaphurailatpam2480]

Fr! No one starts out perfect!

[@bhumidrawz7358]

@@jayaphurailatpam2480 yeah.

[@Igabims]

So, perspective - shapes in perspective - anatomy - anatomy in perspective and so on? I'm in!!

[@Fingrek]

This video is a treasure and should be sent to anyone that ever gave up on drawing because "it just didnt work out at first"

[@jessejzetteart5180]

I know that was a sketches, and mostly ugly. But I dont know why, its so interesting to look and watch each of them. I'm speechless. Thank you for the inspiration!

[@carlydanesmahinay8752]

Ugly is a strong word, but i get it though!

[@carnival5925]

Ugly is a bit too much. You could've worded it better.

[@jessejzetteart5180]

@@carnival5925 | Yeah, I'm sorry I know that is a bit too much. But what I mean "Ugly" is not really bad drawing. And what I really mean is a process that you will go through that makes you get better.

[@skrillz_14th]

Jesse Jzette Art I think you mean to say clustered.

[@pravum3150]

Ugly? No. Simplified enough to communicate the idea of the drawing without wasting time on details? Absolutely.

[@swethak8189]

This book is one of most beautiful things I've ever seen

[@mikaelkristiak2882]

The best thing in art is that replay button on your hand when you're doing sketch studies, and when you want to draw something you've drawn before, getting that good feeling you're improving at that one thing, changing it's style along the way too.

[@kayaeki]

I always keep watching art tutorials and not practice them, thank you for this. I'm going to keep drawing, failing, studying and practicing

[@shichibukaitetsuo5938]

He’s sketched more in one book then all my sketches anywhere

[@kanachiaki]

It's interesting to see how you went from marker/pen to pencil. Most people go the other way round. I think I'm gonna start doing my practice sketches in pen as well, I tend to loose too much time detailing (and erasing) when using pencil, like you said. Great video, thanks for sharing.

[@HankHaze]

Pen is better for practice since it is an unforgiving medium, will make you think of line economy.

[@blasterjd6626]

Whenever i'm feeling discouraged about drawing, i check back to this video and it inspires me again. So I'm guessing you've drawn from reference images like from anime screen shots? Studies from other anime artists? Books? Real life? etc?

[@Dtr_go]

My sketchbooks always looks like that, messy but good for practicing!!

[@itsisha9762]

You’re so honest and that’s something so very important to me! This helped me 10000x more than those other sketchbook tours that only show finished masterpieces as 10 min “sketches” which I find very annoying and deceiving tbh. was on the brink of losing it again, but your video just inspired me so much. thank you so much for this.

[@Ryuuko-chan]

I think this is the very first proper and real sketchbook video I've ever seen since I made this account. Most of the ones I've seen were illustration sketches, close to finished or half finished pencil or marker drawings but not actual study and practice (the one I've been searching for AGES).

[@Aizera]

Not knowing how people get to a really good endpoint in art makes taking up drawing really intimidating. It's really enlightening to see the gap of progress we normally don't see in other videos.

[@aries6663]

perspective is something im definitely lacking in

[@troillandford7679]

Most important thing I learned from this video. When you show people ugly artwork: *THAT WAS A STUDY*

[@aadimdeshmukh8920]

Can you please please do a tutorial on how to draw figures and poses !? I really hope you make a video on it .

[@216kingDavid1]

Aadim Deshmukh i agree

[@jesuschrist7816]

YES PLEASE

[@henshimai]

Guys this video is the tutorial. Just do exactly what he did : practise everyday.

[@NATA5II]

find a figure and pose and then draw it lol.

[@dragonwarriorz1]

Practicing everyday only works if you are practicing the right things.

[@woogzs]

I’m at the lowest point of my life rn man, there are a lot of people who doubt me and my art journey, even the people I’m closest with, and even myself, and I just wanted to let you know that this video was the first thing that made me take my art seriously, and this is the only thing that is keeping me determined not to give up. I just want to say Thankyou.

[@mateusrodrigues84]

I'm gonna do this every day ! Thank you kuzo to show your learning and practice process. I hope that you do this more with the olders sketchbook😁

[@toongamer2810]

You're a real inspiration. I stayed up all night watching your videos and gradually getting better at anatomy. Thank you, very cool

[@PuppetMaster8707]

I only draw VERY cartoony but this was a fantastic sketchbook and I also enjoy using pen especially because it forces you to accept mistakes and just roll with them

[@memphis6627]

Thats what I love abouz your chanel You are like showing where you started and all of the more "ugly" sketchings. I know a lot of artists that don't want others to see those drawings. Really good video ♥️ ceep up the good work! 🔥

[@desireelangel3479]

This stuff is way better than what I could ever do

[@ChaosPrototypeIX]

I just randomly ended up here and gotta admit that I am having a flashbacks while watching your tour because its like watching my own current "drawings" sketchbook. I am ok with head shapes but I am still struggling to place face features to look normal mostly because I am still mostly trying to force them out of my mind instead of using references to learn them. I might even go back to drawing more often, even daily, cuz of it necause I have been at "occasional doodle" phase for months because it felt like I wasnt going anywhere but I guess I am wrong. But damn, it really feels like I am watching tour of my own sketchbook (just a first half or two thirds) while being narrated by someone else. Tripy.

This was great my dude! Please do a video on what helped you with anatomy.

[@niatheelf]

It's great to see other sketchbooks that are messy and sketchy, I get a lot of comments from people telling me that my sketchbooks are too boring and have too many boring pencil drawings, but I'm pretty sure they're comparing what they see in my sketchbooks to what other artists "sketchbooks" look like (aka, every other page is like a fully polished finished piece), so this definitely helps with my confidence with my sketchbooks :) I started drawing daily around the 20th of December 2018 and since then I've finished 3 sketchbooks (something I've never done before in my life) and I've seen a lot of improvements in my art! I now also have a lot more time on my hands so I'll have to push myself to do more than 1 or 2 pages a day and maybe do 5 like you. Thank you so much for posting this, it's hugely inspired me to push myself a bit more now that im comfortable with daily drawing ♡

[@kohaikof9091]

Hey Kuzomari! Great to see you post another of these videos, I find them very insightful especially as someone who's trying to improve. I had to ask: Are those studies from the mangas you read? I have to say I liked the permanent marker thing you suggested! Definetly going to incorporate them into my practice. Thank you for taking the time to show us this.

This is absolutely amazing! Your dedication really shows and shines with all of your work! Was there a specific artist or show that inspired you to draw these? I feel like my problem is that I'm spending too much time drawing references from shows instead of original drawings like these; but I just love drawing those characters! Did you have the same problem? Love your channel btw!

I planned on practicing with ballpoint but seeing about use a marker for practice, i may have to try that out myself. Skip the details and all when its not needed.

[@erykkilianek1111]

I didn't know that perspective was so important, definitely something I will need to practice.

can you do a video covering figures, grounding them and breaking down your favorite illustrations? Thanks for the advice and the marker trick

[@jamesbenson2090]

Hey kuzo i always look back to this for inspiration to keep going and practicing, but im curious as to what brand of sketchbook that is? I was thinking of dedicating a sketchbook to perspective (different studies than in yours of course lol)

[@OwnyOne]

Do you do studies from other drawings? Do you think it's helpful or is it just better to study from real photos? Where do you get references for studies? It's hard for me to find references of models that look natural instead of very posy. Sorry I have so many questions. Your stuff is amazing btw.

Me watching this video: yeah.... I need to practice WAY more

I never practiced drawing like body types, poses or whatever so I just use poses from google...its hard to draw poses with out a reference...on my profile pic that's my drawing...so I guess I'm a really slow learner

Do you find it better starting out with basic shapes for the head like the traditional circle and center lines to start off with the proportions face features on the head or free hand like most of the sketches you did witth permanent marker? I guess the question is which method is better the traditional basic shapes method then fill in the detail or free hand drawing everything without the shapes thank you so much love all your work

I don't know if I'm doing things right either when I'm drawing. Angles and prospective and depth its all so confusing, and drawing hands and feet it's driving me crazy I just can not get it down OTL. What references did you use? Sorry, I'm venting.
