That caught me offguard. I was bawling. Cause I tend to make that mistake of doing too much at once sometimes. Which ends up in frustration.

[@GabrielSantos-el4ir]

HAHA!

This is the real art right here.

I once saw a Genshin artist (I think a Japanese artist) have multiple blank poses drawn of various expressions and personalities for when a new character would drop. I think that is one of the craziest yet most effecient ways I've seen someone draw.

[@lessrevz6269]

Woah that’s actually insane, do you remember the artist?

[@renfaere]

@@lessrevz6269 I wish I did ;~; It was back in 2021 so who knows if they're still around knowing how the Genshin fandom likes to drive off their artists :(

[@lessrevz6269]

@@renfaere ah alright then thanks anyways though

[@chickensky1121]

I should do that for practice, lol. I've been kinda sketching out certain Genshin character poses just as practice but I could take it a lot further if I tried. One step at a time, I suppose.

[@Roseberry606]

I kinda do that in a way, but without the expressions i do pose studies every once in a while and when one of them turns out good i save it to be used on a full drawing, it really helps

The military has a saying: "Slow is smooth and smooth is fast"

[@Delveras]

Same phrase is used in motorsports

[@bradleysharp5028]

That's exactly what I thought about when I saw the thumbnail.

[@itshel2677]

For guitarist I heard "If you can play it slow, you can play it fast" a lot. Helped me a lot with video games too. When I slow down a bit I usually play better. Going fast causes mistakes, mistakes need correction and corrections lose time.

[@chickensky1121]

I feel the need to point out that, I feel like the advice of 'moving outside your comfort zone' when making art, in general, is assuming that you WANT to get better at drawing new things in the first place. If you keep drawing the same thing over and over again, you may not really get that much better at drawing other things but you'll still be improving at the thing you are drawing - and that's perfectly fine if that's your only goal, i.e. if that's what your career requires, or if that's just the thing you enjoy drawing most. If you do draw purely for pleasure I recommend you try branching out *sometimes* just to see if you discover something you didn't before (and of course if you plan to turn your art into a job, versatility is great) but at the end of the way, you're going to know what you want to improve on better than most of the people trying to give you advice.

[@itshel2677]

This would be so helpful for me if I didn't want to make comics lol. Feels like you have to know almost everything. Or at least that's what I feel because I have unrealistic standards for myself. But that's more of a mindset thing.

[@cefcephatus]

I heard of these tips many times, but as a beginner, I think, the most important here is "There's is a time to learn and experiment, then another time to perform." Switching between these modes is very much the way you can both paint more and learn more. I learned how to paint Frieren's eyes in 1 hour, but drawing Frieren bust view with that eye's color takes only 30 minutes. Well reference accumulation actually took 30 minutes out of 1 hour learning period.

[@Mitsu06]

Oh my god.. thank you for this, i only started learn coloring but the problem is, i always immediately want it to be a completed piece instead of focusing on it as "art for learning".. Sometimes i become burned out and forgot i'm supposed to learn first, not immediately make a finished piece

[@cefcephatus]

@@Mitsu06 I feel the same too. But I found that, if you want to learn, don't plan just to learn, plan to finish learning and make something complete of what you have learned. Scheduling drawing session will prevent you from learning too much and never finish any work, so you don't get bored learning to draw. Like, I planned to learn coloring the eyes for 2 hrs. but the actual practice take only 1 min for a pair of eyes. But I have to drag it to 2 hrs. somehow as I also live stream the whole process. And talking about just how I understand that quickly sounds boring while the canvas only have these eyes, trying to learn new things will also be too much for my brain. So I just tried to draw a bust shot that only focus on the eyes, and leave everything else mediocre.

[@KatarsisWorkshop]

i swear the zoomed out tip helps amazingly im teh kind fo person to overfocus on details and since i do that it made my composition better lol

[@itshel2677]

I'm like the complete opossite to the point where I am only able to do very rough lay outs with a nice flow but absolutely zero detail. That's why I can't draw a face for the life of me. To me that's all "too detailed" lol

[@lunalienray]

Skipping details on unimportant area is really valid practice. Especially a piece for social media. People are not going to look into tiny details. They are like looking at your art for 3 seconds and move on. I used to do a few day of line work for a single piece. Now I would say fuck it and just go with somewhat clean sketch line instead.

[@AndreusBins]

Ghosting is the term that I’ve heard for “air drawing”

[@arandomreplyguy3382]

that's the exact term

[@Anonnymouss-nu6uv]

Wow, I didn’t know my crush had air drawn me, that’s amazing!

[@itshel2677]

@@Anonnymouss-nu6uv Yeah I got air drawn half a year ago. The funniest thing is that they are pretty good at drawing lol

[@TristanSGS]

I understand now that the reason I draw so slow, being relatively new to art, is that I have no comfort zone yet.

[@Sasukesanimation]

Well as a digital artist, depending on the complexity of the artwork, I can spend from 3hours to 3days on an artwork. Most of the time being wasted is from exploring techniques to create what I have in mind

[@itshel2677]

Is the time really wasted if it's spent figuring out how to realise your vision?

[@Sasukesanimation]

@@itshel2677 I don’t feel like anytime is wasted if it’s usful meaningfully. So no I don’t think the time is wasted 😅

[@philosophyfrog2653]

This is not good advice. Do NOT fall into your comfortzones. The entire purpose of your sketches is to explore ideas, your first idea is never your best idea. Your comfortzone is literally where your creative process goes to die. Better to have 10 messy drawings than 1 refined drawing at your disposal. In order to speed up your drawing skills you need to stay loose. Focus on big shapes, silhouettes and postures rather than anatomy, design and details. No one can perfectly visualize an image in their head, that's what your sketches and thumbnails are for. Think as an animator, they are the experts and drawing quickly. Break down your characters into simple, easily adjustable shapes, use layers if possible and make sure you have model sheets and references nearby to speed up the cleanup process. Another efficient way of improving your speed is to regularly draw croquis starting with 20 minutes sessions then 10 then 5 then 1 and finally down to 30 second sessions. What you will notice is that you will have a much easier time keeping up if you first started with the 20 minutes sessions than if you jumped straight into the 30 second sessions. The reason for this is because you will force yourself into focusing on the gesture rather than the anatomy, filtering away all the unnecessary information. Good luck with your practice and have fun!

[@krampus7520]

On the note of drawing in your comfort zone, i know it's *good* for building confidence, but i cant draw what i want (detailed dynamic backgrounds with cool compositions, dynamic poses and lighting, and epic action that includes all of the most unbecoming limbs to draw) so i have to ALWAYS go WAY out of my comfort zone for almost every piece (im proud of) that i make.

[@itshel2677]

Air drawing or "Ghosting" as Draw a Box calls it is literally so powerful. It's like throwing out all the bad strokes before you do the right one.

[@TheBlueBlazes_]

I really wish Kim Jung Gi’s method worked for me. I have Aphantasia and I literally can’t visualize. I can do things from memory and practice, but trying to see something in mmy head is impossible for me. I still do my best as an artist because it’s my passion. Don’t let anything stop you!

[@Sombody123]

If you have 8 hours of to sleep Would you go to bed? Well if I have an exam tomorrow I might be a lil tired. But would you sleep? Nah I would draw.

[@krampus7520]

wait this involves actual observing of my behavior and learning from my mistakes instead of a quick n easy magic hack? frick that (This was an INCREDABLY helpful video, i'm a very slow artist, my process takes way too long, and understanding that if i actually watch my behavior where i'm not actually drawing anythign that will end up in the final peice (like experimenting lol) i can make my drawing process SO much faster. I hope you get a ton of subs man, your drawing process is like watching magic the way you start out with a rough pencil sketch and then refine it. Hope you get a ton of subs. Cheers

[@ricebrush]

You can do it! Slow and steady wins the race 😁

love the editing on the vid, nice stuff

[@lordevolder9907]

3:05 even I, a traditional artist doesn't even know what that mean😅, Yes, even if you know how to draw and fixing, it's gonna take alot of time and effort to be finished, it'll make you lose your confidence and burn-out immediately, that's why drawing warmup is the best to begin drawing something after.

me too dumb to draw

[@G_zuz]

If you can learn to write you can learn to draw

[@TheLuconic]

Never put yourself down, even as a joke. If you do want to draw one day, do it for funzies. There’s no pressure and depending if you want to follow a curriculum, there are tons online. Especially this artist named Brad Colbow. He has a fundamentals art course that I took and never regret it. And I been drawing fairly decently until I took his course and now I feel like I’m a pro. Point is, take it one step at a time, find the right course for you, even if it’s KZbin videos which many of us have used. In fact, if you find the right KZbinr and stay with them, you can get just as much as a paid course. There are many to recommend but maybe you’ll find anime styles easy. Milemegamega is a grand pick.

[@JohanBautista-fm9xy]

If learn can you write to, can you draw to learn

[@nexusserc]

@@G_zuz Writing was in elementary school when the brain's learning capabilities were insane, and that still took years. Now a brain in mid 20s is gonna learn a new skill it will take decade...

My professor calls air drawing ghosting and had us do it in class

[@DiceTwenty]

Really, the hardest pill to swallow for artists is to do STUDIES. The skill to visualize is useless if you can't translate it to canvas, and how are you going to be able to translate properly if you don't study? There is no such thing as a 'shortcut' in drawing, or any other skill in life for that matter. If you want to be fast at drawing, then you need to do your rep and get gains. That is how you gain the knowledge on what looks 'right' for the topic you're currently drawing. And with repetition, you hammer that knowledge and it becomes second nature to you.

visualisation is key? well shit people with aphantasia working at a huge disadvantage - ill never be as good as Kim Jung Gi

I think at that point you'll just have to rely more on references and probably use more of them, but I'm sure you can improve too

[@teguhsan1465]

Use reference and focus on balance

[@stephanierachel5641]

Drawing is to focus on forms and proportions. If you pratice this two, you will be fine even without the mentalization capability, but you will have to take reference as the comment above adviced.
