[@LeMisterRai]

The intro speaks to me. I spent my youth playing games, took a college degree that is no where related to art. Now I'm old but I still want to learn to draw, anime and vtubers inspire me to. I'm glad someone also went through what I'm going through, and definitely glad I found this vid

Being able to learn after university is a huge thing

[@mannyabreu]

Right there with you on that.. Best of luck on your journey through art!

[@sayko4754]

Same for me, I finished my studies who was horrible because of covid. I just finished my cursus in Japan but now that I returned in my country I have nothing to do. Nothing unless my passion for animation and illustration, even if i'm bad at all of this I'm starting to learn now and hope one day I can draw like my favorite artists

[@robinfox4440]

I can't tell you how encouraging it was to hear you say "I started art late." I've always done art, but I've always struggled with it. I did not have a good teacher in high school, and though I attended an art school, they did not give me formal education like you'd expect - it was very loose and just do whatever. Following disapproval from my family my pursuit of illustration was discouraged and abandoned numerous times throughout my life. To know that someone else can do it later on in life really spurs me on. Thank you!

[@yavnrh]

For me the biggest blocker right now is drawing the body in a desired pose and correct perspective. Should be as simple as positioning a few boxes and cylinders in 3D space, but without a very close reference, it just all falls apart. I think it's important to draw at least one full body pose a day, regardless of what you're working on currently. I got engrossed in a big project and neglected that and I'm suffering now... 😥

[@Vrioto]

For me, as dumb as it sounds, my biggest blocker is drawing basic shapes. I can't draw shapes but I honestly need to because otherwise my drawings will look back. Problem is, I spent 7 days straight doing everything I could to draw straight lines and circle but I can't seem to

[@dinoknightz]

heyy same. I've been studying anatomy, structures and stuff so much, i forgot to actually learn how to draw a pose/gestures. I always think my art is bad, because if I dont have a pose thats very similar I can't draw it. I think I need to learn that now lol

[@rocas7342]

-A quick summary of the Cycle method since it doesn't only apply to anime artstyle : *-Draw :* Basically draw what you want to in general as way to test your current level. *-Reflect :* Observe what's your weakness (flipping the canvas helps) or try remember which part of the drawing you struggled a lot so you can prioritize learning it (e.g., proportions, materials,...) . *-Learn :* This is where you practice your weakness finding references or tutorials, grinding and analyzing what's necessary for you (you don't need to learn every type of clothes or every body muscles). *-Test yourself again with the Draw phase*

[@nBp4tB12]

I have just started drawing and I am researching what is the core process of learning this activity. I came up with my ideas of what exactly I need to do and I happened to watch your video and it's almost exactly what I'm doing right now. I'm very happy that my conclusion was right, thank you so much.

[@crabboverlord]

Wow. I came here to learn how to draw anime as a side hobby, but this draw - reflect - learn cycle has completely changed my perspective on basically everything I do, whether it's my hobbies or even everyday schoolwork. I didn't expect this random drawing tutorial to speak to me as much as it did, but I'm really glad I found it. Great video! You've gotten me hooked on this hobby in 20 minutes

[@neasalcryovol6052]

I've been drawing since I was really young but had no guidance so my art stagnated once I hit college. It wasn't until I started watching helpful art videos that I've started to improve and yours definitely hit that spot of helpful information and motivation. I especially like your videos because they focus on the anime style, whereas most others are more focused on general styles that are more realistic or western styles. Also how do I find the time to practice art when I'm playing video games all day?!?! xDDD

[@glistica]

As someone who's only been drawing digital for 3 years and really interested in anime art style, this video is beyond helpful.

[@tavarisch]

I didn't know the formula was that easy. I'm still a young artist and you know how much it frustrates me when I just don't see improvement quickly. When I don't see the improvement I have wanted to see, I feel that I can't improve. But I really hope this works for me, thank you for sharing such good tips to fellow artists who are only a few steps away from creating something amazing.

[@SF3L]

Honestly man, words really can’t explain how much of an inspiration you are for me, and most likely a lot of us, to try and continue learning to improve my drawing. The way you teach these lessons is really easy to unpack while still having really detailed explanations. I don’t think I would’ve continued trying to improve if I never found this channel. You’re and absolute legend for doing all of this.

[@Scorpion5120]

Well, I'm a late starter myself- just about to graduate the next year, when I will turn 25. Honestly, when you presented "draw, reflect, learn" cycle, I'm quite happy that I figured this out by myself just a few days before watching your video and having finished my first art that took some actual effort! Draw so that actually you have practice, reflect what you did wrong and pinpoint your mistakes, and eliminate them by practising again, but having them in mind (some exercise before may be good!). Thanks for your tutorials, they really helped me have a good start!

[@raz316]

I was skeptical of 20 minutes of explanation on how to draw better but I stayed till the end and enjoyed every bit of info ! Very cool !

I've been going through some dark times regarding my mental health towards following art professionally, how much time I lost already, that I'm not good yet, that I make same mistakes. I can't afford colleges or teachers and finding your channel has given me an air of hope of not giving up. Thank you Ori, your knowledge has felt like a blessing and I am looking forward to improve thanks to your tips. Regards ❤️

[@GuranPurin]

I have been doing this method since about February this year, and I can't tell enough about how helpful it is! The biggest thing holding me back was not reflecting on what I did wrong and actively trying to improve it. I would just get frustrated that my art was not the professional quality drawings I was used to and just give up without ever finishing. Ever since I started really pushing myself to finish illustrations, even if I didn't like them, I really started to focus on the aspects I didn't like, improving them, and getting more accustomed to a good workflow. I really need to properly study coloring. I just feel like I'm always picking the wrong colors for skin or eyes and it's holding it back from actually looking like anime art.

[@Tomathiee]

Most youtube tutorials teaches me fundamentals. But I love your tutorials because they teach me how to learn, which I didn’t know was so important until now.

[@riceball7238]

Honestly u are one of the most underrated art teacher out there! Thank you for ur amazing videos, it really helps me to improve.

[@AmeHari-Main]

I wish this sort of thing was talked about more when it comes to schooling. As someone who has been drawing for years, a lot of things have been hit or miss with me when it comes to things. You don't know how infuriating it is when a professor tells you "You need to draw it how it is" or "You have to color this way because your style shouldn't be using this coloring style". It should be taught more that practicing things is the better way to go and adapting to what you want to do. These are the types of tips that would have been helpful at the beginning of my drawing career and not late into it. (I know it can be changed for it, but it does get a bit harder). Thank you for sharing your knowledge on ways that you had accomplished your drawing goals!

[@ETfilms100]

I wish I could've seen these videos 4 years ago when I started. I went on a long hiatus but im coming back and the techniques for learning are definitely my style

[@quibby8627]

Though I am not an artist I still find this video incredibly insightful and helpful. The Draw-Reflect-Learn cycle doesn’t apply to just art, but to all skills in general, just replace draw with whatever skill it is you are trying to learn. Whether it be art, music, writing, or even languages, you have to learn from experience and reflection. To those reading this, I wish you luck on your journey of improvement! ^-^

[@abstrack97]

Frick man! This is the video I needed to watch years ago... I've been making music for more than 8 years now, and I just learned why it has stopped working for me about 4 years ago: I just don't have this "how did I do?" dopamine-driven phase in my process, i.e. when you put the original picture on your own attempt that only relies on your mind foundations. Some thoughts: each cycle should be closed as quickly as possible if you want to learn as quickly as possible. I absolutely love your content man, you gotta keep it up. Cuz at least for me it just turned the world upside-down.

I can't thank you enough for making these videos, seriously. I've been having trouble drawing for a long time and your videos are one of the only things that helped me see what I am doing wrong and how should I approach things. If you could, it would be great if you made a video about book recommendations, since it's hard to find good material of diverse skill levels.

[@villainnot]

It's hilarious that I have the same story in my art journey. Like, I was trying to learn how to draw since my high school, then I graduated from university this summer with diploma I don't actually need and now I want to take on art more seriously.

[@mekabare]

Thank you for making content in english about drawing ACTUAL anime style art. For years there would be no resources for non JPKRCN folk. All the english resources were aiming for a hybrid, western kind of style. And they highly discouraged the methods you encourage. A friend of mine did it like you and has gotten past my skill level real quick. even though I've been struggling with art for 15 years. Im by no means a newbie, im 29 now and have been drawing more or less seriously, but I feel like one. Ive bee wanting to draw "authentic" anime art for a while now.

[@Kitsuneuzuma]

That intro started a flame in me, like you started after uni and now your an absolutely amazing artist, maybe it's not too late for me! Maybe I still have a chance to improve!

i never actually had a motivation to draw, exactly like you back then. only doodling when im at the high school , go to the university on Visual communication design. i feel like this is not what im wanted and being stressed about it. but then my favorite pro gamer ,faker said " if you don't enjoy it, means you just sucks at it ", then the calli words " if you quit when you suck, you'll suck forever" got me good.

[@darkjelly944]

I'd like to build on that point of taking some time away from your drawing to look at it with fresh eyes. There's actually a much faster way to reset your brain to your drawing. Just flip the canvas horizontaly. It will trick your brain into thinking that it's looking at a completely new drawing, and any blunders you made become as clear as day, and thus, easily fixable. It's super effective.

[@SlowV6Mustang]

this video has made me realize that I've been doing too much of the drawing step and not enough of the reflecting and learning steps. When I started my main goal was to just "learn how to draw anime characters" and now I'm at the point where I want to make my rendering better, work on my anatomy, find my own style, get better lineart, learn how to draw with backgrounds and complex lighting, etc etc, and I can't get myself to focus on one of those things so instead I just keep drawing. A big problem I also have is not doing studies, every character I draw is a fully colored, shaded, and lit character and each one takes at least 8 hours to do.

[@twins1133]

This is actually a really good guide for learning any skill in general, with the applications of its usage in drawing anime style. This is the type of video that I can absorb and understand the information from. Usually, even if I've taken all this information, not knowing how to is often an issue.

[@STRIKENSUN4001]

I'm so thankful for tutorials like this. I'm somebody who's been dabbling with digital art on the side (was programming main with a degree and now looking to do technical art) for roughly 6-7 years and still feel like I'm only an intermediate. When looking up guides, I feel like the easiest videos to find are the obvious "how to draw the body" of a character. Or the perspective when it comes to backgrounds Which are obvious skill to develop, but to me its like if you practice drawing a perfect square every day for 15-20 minutes you'll eventually be able to whip that out. It feels a lot more straight forward. Whereas the concepts of brush making and technique feels like the real end boss of art. I can look at a piece for minutes, for hours, for days, and still not understand how to replicate the brush and techniques they used. I really want to be able to upgrade my artwork and take it to the next level in the style that I'd like it. Though recreating stuff just feels like such a struggle. Especially when it comes to backgrounds where there's so much layering happening that makes it difficult to decipher what brush is used, when to use said brush, and how to use said brush. This is why I'm thankful for tutorials that don't just cover "ok class this is how you draw the human body." I've got a decent enough concept of this.

I will be starting my art journey this week once I buy my sketchbook. I’ve always been interested in drawing, but never found the motivation to start. After being almost done with college, playing lots of games, watching anime, and vtubers, I’d like to make something to give back to the communities. It’s intimidating, but that’s what makes the journey worthwhile.

[@77sTuna]

I love your analogies and how you explain things. It's kind of insane how the vtuber community led me to actually start working on things I enjoy and wanna get better at. It's all connected as well. I wanted to get better at singing and started to listen to Japanese music I found from various vtubers which in turn made me want to start learning Japanese. Now I'm considering the possibility of being a vtuber, but I can't really pay for a model so I'll have to make my own. Even though I can't draw that well yet. It's a great excuse to get better at drawing cause I enjoy that too. This is just a way too long-winded explanation of how I got to this video lol. I'll be watching more of your stuff :D

Hey Oridays! I don't know if you see this but I just wanted to say thank you. I've been wanting to do Art for a long time, Since I was in sixth grade and as of this year I'm graduated. I never learned anything in my early years including the basics and whenever I made art that was "Good" it was just copying what I looked at and usually took awhile. I eventually went to Art school my junior and senior year and I honestly believe I only got in due to my Photoshop skills. Throughout those 2 years I was lazy and had no motivation as I thought I was inferior to most of my classmates. However I found your videos at a time when I started picking up art again and I've decided I'm tired of being bad now. You've given me a motivational motto and good methods of improvement and now I'm taking it step by step. I'm currently working on everything face wise and also combining it with style study of my favorite Artist Shinichiro Otsuka. Thank you for giving me that push that's long overdue

[@edixionz8758]

CYCLE: draw -> reflect -> learn --- Draw in the style you want to be good at, translating from x to y will cause performance hit; try and stylize whatever youre drawing in what you want to draw in --- Post your artwork in public to get feedback; Reflect on your own artwork by taking a 1-2 day break and making a list of the things that need work; prioritize the bottle necks (skills needs most work for overall artwork qual.), prevents plateuas; get expert feedback through hiring

I never actually realize this but when I think about it, it's true. I used to trace art from other people's creation(on paper, I didn't have a pentab back then and digital art wasn't as popular) and even though I said tracing, it didn't end up well. And when I think about it, my art improves when I draw a cosplayer pic and make it an anime and some other things. I am also a univ student in my last years and I too, didn't really liked my uni degree. I have stopped few years of drawing because I had no improvement (and so many uni tasks), and just restarted drawing last year. I bumped into your videos last week IIRC. And this video helps me get my motivation up(probably because I see some similarities from you too). So, Thank you very much.

Thanks for this. I already knew this learning cycle and applied it to many aspects of my life, yet for some reason my brain refused to figure out how to apply it to drawing. I'm still unsure how I 'learn' the ability to pinpoint where I suck and how to find the correct methods/resources to improve, but I guess I'll get into it after some time....I hope? I'm at the end of my first year trying to learn how to draw, and it's been very demoralizing, especially since I love to learn and whenever I learned other things(languages, juggling, etc), I could always and immediately notice my mistakes, where and how to improve....yet in drawing, these obvious markers just elude me completely. I wish I knew why... I will keep trying though, your video helped a lot. Thank you.

Also since i am too used to draw with pen and/or pencil back then, there is the bottleneck of trying to draw digitally. Like how to adapt with the pen pressure, line thickness, brushes type, coloring, making use of the app feature, some stuff like that. Still this video has good advices and hopefully i will make use of it after i finished my study lol

I started trying to really draw recently, which I didn't do before, I thought I was just too bad to do it But I'm better than what I thought (even if this is still pretty bad), and the tips you give really help in learning more, so thank you !

Bro wtf XD I feel called out on the introduction. It's so relatable and almost exactly the same as my life hahahaha Hopefully I get Horn- I mean Hyped enough for a long time to keep my self drawing and learn enough to be able to do the things I want. Your vids are godsend for me who is only starting out

thumbnail hooked me and turns out it was something I wanted to learn. Yessir

"I hated my life, so I went all in on drawing" makes complete sense

man, even just being called out on the figure drawing issue (yes, that's me too) helped me a lot, cus I didn't even know how to name that bottleneck even tho I've always known it's there
