Thank you for this video. I’m 19 now and often see artists my age producing industry-level work and it can be unbelievably demotivating. You’ve reminded me that I have so much time ahead of me to hone my skills and learn what I need to, and to find what I want to do :)

I'm 44. Did some animation in college when I was 19. Flunked out and never really continued my art development. Now I have a hunger to draw and paint again. You're never too old to start. Reminds me of an old saying: The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago. The second best time is now!

[@Taruil]

I really like this story. I drew a lot as a kid, but then I gave up. Because everyone said it's useless, it doesn't make any money. I was disappointed. But now, at almost 33, I'm motivated to draw again. :)

[@Lola_in_the_Black]

Similar story to mine - as a kid I kept hearing I was talented (but it was just tons of reading and observation and work since I could hold a pencil) but that it was just a little bit of talent, nothing that would allow me to ever work as an artist and my family forced me to quit. Now at 33 I'm back to working on fundamentals, going with my own schedule of studies and exercises, and I finally dare to dream I will make it. And finally after many many years of misery I feel happy again :)

Same here, I quit around 15 when I was advised in school that art isnt a viable career option. I thought i was in a few years long art block, turns out I was just very uninspired after being told it had no purpose, but now I'm painting for me again, aswell as the growing technological era demanding more creatives being a bonus, just a shame I missed out on getting into the field earlier.

[@nanwanwon95]

It's ironic for schools to reject an "ugly" art like aren't we go to school to learn from them, for us to improve?

[@erfanthered9801]

Nowadays schools aren't for learning things, they're for gathering reputation. Having a name like Howard on your resume will immediately give you an edge compared to those with a random university in their resumes. That's why the pre-select the best students. Because they don't want a "normal" person to attend and possibly ruin their reputation. They want already talented people so they don't have to actually "teach" people. They only improve the already gifted, not teach the general populace.

[@77Night77Shade77]

Yes, but our society (and by extension, our schools) is a true meritocracy. If you want to learn from the best, you have to meet their standards and show that you're worthy.

[@kalkstein2694]

well yeah but they have a limited amount of students so they need to take in those that show the most potential

[@jonadam4233]

Part of the thinking is you usually have to be an artist before being an artist. Passion is one thing, but some people are strong from the start and this is what they look for, narrowing the margin.

[@bui3415]

It should be today but not initially in some of it's origins. A lot of the old "schools" were just galleries and salons by cliques of patrons and artists showcasing the latest trends that dictated a lot of the art movements of its day. This was a big thing in Paris, France since the 18th century. Most artists just learned on their own or under apprenticeships and other private tutelage. The idea about going for reputation or just showcasing one's skill is not a new thing.

[@fereldensandwich982]

I love that you show your "bad" art, aka begginer or not so good looking art, and talk about the importance of it. My bad drawings are what actually make me improve the most, because I have to ask myself why I can't do it, what is misssing, etc.

[@salty_3k506]

Yes exactly. When you draw something and you aren't satisfied with the result, it's an opportunity to ask yourself why you don't like it, what to improve and it shows you that you are leaving your comfort zone.

[@maybeimacat3183]

That makes me feel so much better, I always see artists that "have been drawing since forever" and seeing that you've started at 19 (the same age then me right now), makes me feel that I'm not too late

[@Purplesquigglystripe]

A lot of people start after high school or late high school, when they are graduating and are trying to figure out what to do after that. There are a lot of people who get into drawing early on, but they give up early on as well. A lot of professionals I know started in their late teens or early 20s.

[@cory99998]

@@keepyourshoesathedoor I feel like you could only say this if you're between the ages of 13 and 17 or so. I started my craft around 12 or 13 as well, however what I was able to do in a given year then VS now as someone in their mid 20s is laughable. If you deleted everything I did from 12 to 18, it would set me back but only by a bit. Most of us are incredibly ineffective as teens. The older you get, the more inconsequential those years become. If you're a teenager reading this, my advice is to focus on having fun before all else and worry about improving as you get older. If you have fun with what you make and take the time to enjoy lots of art and music, those experiences will act as a multiplier for the rest of your career as you get older.

[@shayminty5906]

I'm still pissed that I have a minor in studio art and literally no teacher ever broke down shape as such a fundamental. It's changed the way I look at what I want to draw or paint .

[@TheOldSchoolCrisis]

Something that really helped me with working in shape language is that I do pretty much all of my rendering in Illustrator after making some initial lineart. (I have no idea how you wizards paint with brushes XD). Illustrator is entirely vector based, so EVERYTHING is shapes. You have to define a shape before you can do anything with it. Want to make a shadow? Draw the shape and apply a gradient. Want to place some color with blending mods? Better put down a shape. Adding some shine to that strand of hair? You geuessed it, it needs a shape first. Working in vector forces you to make EVERYTHING in shape language first and then apply properties of value, and color second. In fact often when I move from line art to the first vector stage of a piece I will lay everything out in super arbitrary bright colors first, just so I can get a good feel for all of my base shapes and their positional relationship to each other. You can see more of what I mean if you check out the only video I have up on my channel right now. I have such a long way to go, but I am really happy with the progress I have made in my journey so far.

[@jeremysalmon8576]

@@TheOldSchoolCrisismaybe it’s just cause I’m a noob with illustrator, but it feels very limiting compared to photoshop, like it would be near impossible to get semi realism without being able to blend the shapes together. Also I hate working with the pen tool with a passion 😂 never quite does what I want

[@TheOldSchoolCrisis]

​@@jeremysalmon8576 It is really just a totally different way to work. I personally love it but it isn't for everyone that is for sure. As for realism the best way to accomplish it in Illustrator is to master gradient meshes. If you look up what some people can accomplish with that tool it is absolutely mind boggling. I typically work in a more stylized aesthetic but I have practiced a bit with GM and while it takes a ton of patience the tools exist for sure to make anything you could imagine in Illustrator.

i started drawing at 13 till now and seeing 13 year olds getting much better than i am makes me feel motivated due to envy but this video and comment section reminds me that i cant compare myself because everyone moves at a different pace and also reminds me that im already moving at a decent pace and i should be more grateful for it. Thank you for sharing your journey marco, you've come a long way and im sure a lot of ppl can benefit from it!

[@Jeyblox]

Motivation from envy and pleasing other feels super icky, it’s not good in my experience. It’s good that you’re recognising this early on! Also from what I’ve seen from young talents, starting earlier doesn’t mean too much other than bragging rights most of the time… it doesn’t really put you ahead, the mental growth and maturity outside of art is the most important thing in the long run, before you know it you might surpass them because they’re too busy pleasing people rather focusing on their own growth

[@wooshewoosher3598]

I don't think you realize how comforting it was when you said you started at 19. I started drawing before I even realized I was concise and alive. I just feel like my art should be better at my age.

All of this information is so incredibly important for new artists (and heck, any artist) to know!! Your ways of approaching drawing and painting have forever changed my art style for the better! Also, for the new artists out there, I know that all of the things you need to learn is overwhelming, but I PROMISE that it's so worth learning them. Even if you feel like you're starting "late", don't let that stop you! I'm one of those people who started doing art young, and I can say for a fact that I could've learned all that I know at any age. The number of years you've lived do not correlate to how good you "should" be at art, and it's always good to learn new things at any point in life!

Brilliant video. I’m a self taught artist and love drawing, in fact painting is secondary to me so I use watercolour or pastel/coloured pencil medium when colouring my works. When starting out I would take a black and white photo and cut it into 2 pieces and then use one half of the original image, and replicate the other half by drawing it, getting the values as close as possible to the original . You could do this and make the cut seam invisible with the values. To all of those who want to improve painting , drawing is definitely key.

I feel like I am starting to learn from the beginning all over again. Your Video motivated me to keep on going. Thank you and much success to everyone watching.

I respect you the most as an art teacher because you really know how to distinguish between the elements of art. For example on a recent Proko video, you pointed out that the grooves in the pumpkin are "half-tones" while most other teachers would call them shadows and not see the importance in specifying them correctly. In this video, I like that you pointed out at 5:48 to not get fixated on the values that comes from softening edges which is exactly what I have been doing when watching other videos. Great content as always 👏
