MY DAILY DRAWING ROUTINE (THE SAITAMA METHOD)

EDIT: I just noticed I've been mispronouncing gesture all this time, I appreciate the correction!
I Appreciate everyone for your support! I'll keep the videos coming (I'll try haha)
sorry for the noise my mic is fighting for its life
stay consistent with practice!

[@fatpig1014]

I've realized that consistency is what you need to do to get better, I would always draw whenever I felt like it or had a cool idea pop in my head. A few months ago I tried gesture drawing everyday I only did it for about a week but filled pages full of drawings, I improved so much and my understanding of anatomy and the way the body moves increased greatly. Then I stopped because I had no discipline :/ I hope everyone here and myself can build discipline so we can become the artists we want to be, we just gotta keep at it 💪

[@jsnk402]

I'm curious, what do you mean by discipline? For me, I also try to draw everyday but sometimes I lose motivation and then have degrading thoughts that I'm not good enough as an artist. But I also make sure to look back at my progress to get rid of those thoughts!

[@EliteNz3]

@@jsnk402 To me, having good discipline is drawing even when not motivated. It's just being able to do something every day regardless of how you feel

The "Saitama Method" is also a good name for another reason: The creator of One Punch Man, (He goes by name ONE), started making One Punch Man comics back when his art skills were absolutely terrible (which was sort of the joke at first). The funny thing being that he drastically improved his art skills A LOT by consistently drawing the manga despite it all. Zooming forward, the manga were re-illustrated by another artist, (this is also the art style for the anime) but ONE's other project Mob Psycho was so polished by the time it got an anime, that they didn't have to change styles.

[@kw_2707]

while reading Mob Psycho 100 it was really awesome to see how much ONE's art had improved by the end of it

[@mirage_404]

I don't mean this in a bad way, but hearing ONE's art skills were bad when he started One Punch Man is encouraging. 😄 It's doable!

I've been drawing seriously for over a year and realized I didnt reach a level anywhere close to yours. Again, this has been said in the video, but again: train based on discipline. I drew when i felt motivated and spent sometimes weeks without touching a pen and that got me practically nowhere. This video helps me greatly because it gives me an objective, concrete exercises I can practice, and sometimes the best advice comes from someone who's still learning themselves. I am absolutely baffled at your art, and thank you for helping people like me who still need guidance :D

[@marcos.a8814]

The best exercise is instead of comparing your art to others, go back to your first sketches and compare on what you've imporved upon, that's going to help you feel a lot better because it's direct improvement and you feel nice seeing that you aren't where you started. Stay consistent and you will get it.

[@Vollmond720]

@@marcos.a8814 This is actually very cool. I'm seriously learning about 2-3 month now, before that it was scribbling when I feel about it. I don't feel progress as is, but open my 'decent' work from before and it looks so garbage. This shows me how much can I improve despite not feeling day-by-day improvement.

[@marcos.a8814]

@@Vollmond720 yeah it's unfair to yourself to compare to others especially since everyone has their own style. Im not an amazing artist by any means but i try to draw every day. My advice would just be don't lack on the fundamentals, practice them often, and most importantly inspiration and stealing are two different things. It's ok to learn how your favorite artist draws noses, eyes, etc. There's nothing wrong with that as long as you're not just copying. Also, tracing, i wish I would have known about tracing sooner, it helps your hand retain the muscle memory to draw. So keep at it and I'm sure you'll be doing great soon

Just as saitama said humans are strong because they have the power to change. But that change does not happen unless you are determined to. Ive been drawing since i was a kid and started practicising 2-3 years ago cant say i have drastic improvement but i do have subtle improvements. Whether it was achieving to draw perfectly or draw a somewhat perfect circle in one go. Its up to you if you want to see it as part of your improvement! Bare with it and youll have what you always longed for!

Yea bro true when was a child I like to draw too but my parents and other judges my drawing so I improve and improve. Thank you bro for inspiring comments now im fired up again

[@WayToDawn72]

Consistency is definitely the key here. I practiced drawing on again off again for years but it wasn't until 9 months ago that I really hit my stride when I started drawing more consistently. And then 3 months ago I read that experimenting was a necessary step after learning and studying and from there my world expanded. All this time I never realized that I had to expand myself and the keys were consistency and experimenting

[@raccoonnuts]

honestly thanks a lot. started drawing seriously over a year and a half now and Ive always wanted art to be my main passion and work, I practiced but not correctly and i can see that now, I used references but never took the time to figure out the anatomy part of it and i was just copying down what I saw, I did make improvements but not at the level i want to be at ya know, this video did help me and gave me a place to start so thank you, ill be doing this more going forward

[@Chrysonoe]

I absolutely agree with what you've said. I also have a system that I use to draw daily and it helped me improve drastically. After some time you don't have to think too much about certain poses. Your body is like, yes, I've drawn this before. Every movement follows simple rules that always repeat themselves. Same goes for effects like explosions or lightning. If you memorize the basics, you'll be able to draw whatever you like :3 great video , thanks for sharing your method!

consistency is key and it can be applied to anything. for me, my art really began to improve the more i drew and created. over time, i've found myself being able to create some work that i do like amidst all the bad drawings, and this balance will continue to shift over time. still got a long way to go though. great video! i haven't done any gesture drawing or anatomy practice in a while, but now i feel inspired to get back to it. i also feel motivated to create a more consistent practice for myself. awesome stuff

[@apex.amatuer]

Good video! Just remember, gesture drawing shouldn't use an eraser or undo. It's quick and is meant to be about flow. Just draw over the mistake when gesture drawing otherwise you'll always be expecting to hit undo even when you don't need it which breaks your tempo.

[@TacticallyInferior]

I try my best to get atleast 2 hours of drawing every day, or overall roughly 14 hours a week on Art over the last 2 years. It was a slow ass climb but I’m beginning to finally get the hang of it, I seem to be making large steps in progress nearly weekly now. Nearly all my pieces lately have been better then the last and my understanding seems to be getting better at each one. Some times you just gotta brute force some shit

Thank you for this. I just came across this video, and it helps me to stay motivated. Motivation isn't ways easy to find, and it sucks especially when I feel my drawings are lacking. But, I guess seeing you draw and how well you do it fuels me to try harder. I also like how you start with “baby steps.” Some small exercises that you could do in 10 minutes or so, and then you can move on to longer and better things when you feel comfortable. This was what I needed.

I am a beginner. So this is awesome to watch. I still aim to create my own manga one day. So I obviously have to learn to draw to get started. Yikes!? Sort of. But it's a start. Edit: You are very good at teaching beginners as you take details in people and understand them. Yes, it is overwhelming. Yes, sometimes you don't want to draw. Yes, on everything else. Its s struggle as you have to figure out how to do certain things. But you nail it. Different approaches. How you do it sounds great as it helps those that are not strong in drawing anatomy to focus less on detail. Just focus on the poses and draw from there. That is wonderful advice. Thanks.

[@eliminat20]

This is the overlooked fact of drawing and animation is you only get better as long as you practice. Your not going to wake up the next day and suddenly understand.

[@bluedotdinosaur]

Your rate of progress in a year is clearly steady enough that you intuitively figured this out (and I can see it in your chosen examples for the video), but it bears repeating as this trips a lot of people up: drawing constantly can result in little progress without specific exercises, that's one major point. Another point though, is that you must learn to watch for "sticking points" in your proficiency - things that aren't improving even if you've been drawing every day. When you learn to see these red flags, it means focus practice is in order even if that isn't one of the primary exercises you've been disciplined about sticking to. If you're having a lot of trouble figuring out how feet work, for example - do feet! Take them apart (... metaphorically...) from every angle, get deeply into their construction and function. Another common example is, obviously, hands - hands are very complicated and difficult to learn. This is something else to spend some focus time on. An additional advantage of focus time is it provides a break from primary disciplines to avoid them getting boring, but they are still quite productive. They present a way to simultaneously take a break yet continue progressing.
