watch this before you start drawing every day

[@KaycemCrew]

If you enjoyed this video, I actually created a FULL 30 Day Bootcamp focused on Character Design available on my KZbin Channel! kzbin.info/aero/PLnOpxIeAVG5Z5iTyj20Tb3cRIvHJ8p0F9&si=d4Odu-NhNj7uw4Ka This 30 day bootcamp covers all things that I've learned from art school, art books and videos, mentors, and also my own experiences working professionally in the animation industry for studios that did shows like Castlevania, Avatar the Last Airbender, and Legends of Vox Machina~

[@Zemiaza]

Weird because I’ve been at this everyday for about a week but I never thought of making a time limit I thought “try to draw everyday. Whether it’s just some ten minute doodle or a painting” and I’ve been feeling amazing lately. Excited to wake up and draw (which I haven’t felt for a long time) and I’ve been improving. I’ve been getting rid of some bad habits like not wanting to draw in my sketchbook because I don’t want to “ruin” it and instead of started to love my imperfections. It may not work for everyone but this is probably some of the happiest I’ve been for a minute :D

[@KaycemCrew]

That's awesome to hear and glad that it's been working out for you! Best of luck on your art journey

[@pinkishhaven5158]

love this. I don't know what happened, but I think I skipped the basics and moved to average, but it's all wrong still because I'm at a standstill. I can't create anything from imagination. All I know is that I just kep drawing a bit as a kid and then it improved and then it stopped. I tried to learn basics now, but for some reason I just can't get them in my head...nor apply to real life without a guide. Like trying to find basic shapes in stuff I want to draw🤧, or just transfering them to my sketchbook. I guess...more practice.

[@marginaliia]

cute :)

[@Zemiaza]

@@pinkishhaven5158 I wish you well and I hope that your start to learn how to do that. I’ll be honest though, I only know what I’ve taught myself. I’m kind of like unaware of what the “basics” and what they are. Hell I don’t even know what color theory is haha! Keep working on it! I believe in you!

[@Zemiaza]

@@KaycemCrew thank you very much!

[@moondroparcana]

Some more tips as an artist currently looking to improve! 1) bring a Sketchbook everywhere! Doesn't have to be fancy. When you have some downtime at work or school, or you're waiting for transportation...draw! It's a forced time limit. Sketch gestures or favorite characters or even just bits of anatomy you need help on. 2) Big shapes before details! Essentially, draw the silhouette first. Use large shapes that indicate torso, head, etc. Then go in and add details. Always starting with the general shape. This practice helps you in breaking down the parts of objects and people you are trying to draw. 3) Line of action. Scribble a line. Squiggle one! Now use those lines to make a pose. Get quirky with it! This will help you experiment with posing the human body, and discovering which poses aren't physically possible lol 4) PINTEREST. Srsly. Make a board for art. Keep boards for references, poses, action poses, color palettes, inspiration, clothing, tips and tricks, coloring, etc. I have one for warm-ups and challenges, it's got a bunch of challenge lists and "draw in your style!" Type of things. These help me find a basis of what to draw when I'm stuck. I can always find some inspiration this way~

[@KaycemCrew]

Really appreciate these well thought out tips and agree completely!!

[@betne5523]

Hai! I´d love to bring a sketchbook everywhere but I´m not very good and scared people want to ´´check out´´ what I´m drawing and they´ll get disappointed or judge me, do you got some tips?

[@enrow529]

​@@betne5523either dont be ashamed, everyone has to start somewhere. And even if its good, taste is different. Or Just say no, i dont want to show it and they have to respect it :)

[@soniccookie655]

Pinterest is way too interesting for me, I never stop looking at it. :’) Then I never go back because once I’m on the home page I want to look at everything. Definitely agree with collecting pictures though. One idea I’ve had is checking out photography books from the library, I like drawing animals so I can find nature ones.

[@masato-fukase]

But it's really mandatory to draw every day ? I tried but I don't have the motivation/health to continue😓

[@constantdoodle32]

I read the book atomic habits. The guy explained that you need to do something and stop right before it stops being fun or feels like work. It starts a god habit and trains your brain to really enjoy it. I try to draw for at least 15 min and if im still into it i keep going until it stops being fun. Ive really enjoyed it.

[@KaycemCrew]

That's awesome to hear!! Glad you're finding something that works for you

[@arknark]

That's a great book! I would also suggest "Turning Pro" if you liked Atomic Habits. I've been drawing everyday for this whole year and am starting to feel the "compound effect" ball rolling. Still have a ways to go, but it's rolling

[@kevinbrunt1647]

That book keeps coming into my life. That is very good advice, thanks. I may just need to read the book now.

[@SpaceDetectiveTravis]

Kinda sounds similar to the Pomodoro method. I been using that to be productive

[@joemps]

Getting an ipad has been a revelation for me when it comes to drawing. I’ve been making daily paintings in procreate and actually love doing it so much to the point where I’ve been improving a TON in a matter of weeks it’s insane

[@KaycemCrew]

Super awesome to see! Sometimes just making it easier to make art can go a long way in wanting to practice more

[@coffee2533]

I wish i have a ipad, im 13 and im really into drawing digitally, my parents dont let me get one because one there expesive(theres a point tho) and its just a waste of time. But its not a waste of time! I ADORE drawing but if course they don't think its worth it, im sticking to traditional for now but i just wish i had better equipments, i also try and draw it on my tablet, but it doesnt have a good stylus pen, and i can only do the bare minimum sadly, but i still get compliments on my drawings so im happy in that sense lol

[@zifer123]

what ipad would you reccomend ?

[@Kyrmana]

I'm thinking of getting a mini for this reason. I got a surface pro 2 but it's too clunky to bring every time.

[@vendyi]

@@zifer123 i would say an ipad air 5, its not too expensive (compared to the other choices) whilst still one of the best choices for digital artsts

[@tyranny1679]

i think the simplest cheat code to drawing everyday consistently is finding your muse and finding what inspires you. for example, i love making oc’s and creating backstories for characters so everyday, i have a scenario for an oc or have new ideas for a fun design to sketch out. there’s no need to put time limits or minimums down, i just draw exactly what i enjoy and stop for the day when the enjoyment and engagement starts faltering for that day

[@KaycemCrew]

I agree 100%!

[@kevinbrunt1647]

I love that and totally agree. I went months and even years doing what I thought I needed to do and became very frustrated with it but then, like you said, I found the cheat code and things have been moving much better. I do still have a hard time not falling into the same trap. For some reason I feel like if its not hard I’m not doing it right.

[@Wheningoubt]

"Start with only a few minutes a day" is advice I give to pretty much anyone looking to get into illustration (though it could probably apply to learning skills in general too). I've had too many new artfellows try to jump in and grind out hundreds of boxes and gestures a day only to feel exhausted very quickly and stop for a long time/forever. I've come to find that motivation is like a muscle that you should work to strengthen before doing sprints, rather than just relying on it to carry you forever on its own. Pacing yourself is an important part of the process that I don't feel is emphasized often.

[@KaycemCrew]

I couldn't have said it better myself! Thanks for sharing and appreciate the support 😁

[@samy7342]

This comment is genius

[@Raiya.Merlyan]

I recently started doing this, and honestly.. drawing for 20 minutes to an hour a day has made me feel less burnt out, and more happier (I’m not sure why I feel more happy..). Tho.. I think the only problem I have, is that when I animate I keep losing track of time and, I then accidentally draw for 3 hours 🗿

[@tifamai]

[@vitadotmp4]

Drawing everyday used to be hard to for me because I was always scared of not drawing something perfectly, it would be too much pressure. After my summer holiday finished I started learning digital drawing again and it was really hard, but I had a passion to learn it. So I started to draw everyday, some bigger drawings but also setting myself smaller doodles that will help me control my burnout. Ever since then I've drawn everyday, only 2 months but I'm proud of myself. I'm still a perfectionist and doubt myself a lot sometimes but I love that I can draw without as much stress and I can finally let go of that feeling that every drawing has to be perfect and that I have to show it everyone. Great video (:

[@KaycemCrew]

Appreciate all the support and glad to hear youve found a routine that worked for you!! I hope the other videos help you on your art journey too 😄

[@douguzumaki6892]

I've been drawing for a few months now and have ben going in with the mindset that I need to draw everyday for hours in order to see improvement. First few months were stressful and I was feeling like i wasn't getting anywhere. Often so I would miss days of drawing and feel terrible about it. Recently i've found joy in my drawings because I have seen subtle improvement. I'm happy i found your video today, I struggle with creating a schedule and I just draw whatever I think I can. Now I know what I have to do, thank you. If there's anyone with an art community looking for any new members. I'd be more than happy to join.

[@pogz1]

its always been my daily struggle in improving my art skills. ive been watching alot of videos yet i am not able to absord all of it. can you please critique my art video.. i need an expert opinion

[@ryder1658]

i only burnout when i do something i don't want to do for a long time. i'm good at doing things i don't want to do. so i burnout a lot i have gone years drawing every day without ever getting tired, and in contrast i have burnt out many times after just a week drawing every day i think the secret is to only draw when you want to. and the trick is to find a way to want to each time you're supposed to draw. we naturally try to force ourselves to do first, without addressing whether we want to or not. conversely, we tend to give up simply because we don't want to right now. the misconception being we don't want to now, so we never will. find a way to want to draw every time you draw, and you will never burnout. this probably applies to everything. and don't feel guilty just because you don't feel like it right now. just evaluate everything and find something that can change that feeling. if it's not gonna happen, it's not gonna happen. next time will be easier.

[@hugrid9647]

Great video, consistency is definitely best advice, also starting small to big. I wanted to do 1000 poses in 10 days because i hoped it would help me improve, and on the first day I did actually draw 100 in few hours, on the second day I barely did 50 and then I just stopped drawing because of subconscious burnout

[@bybrillylili]

These are super good tips, not only for learning how to draw. This is how you start becoming good at anything. 1. Dont go too hard to start with, consistency is the only way to reliable progress and you can't be consistent if you tire yourself out. And doing short sessions to start with helps to have a base rutine to fall into if you get bored or loose the spark. That is going to happen, it is normal. Dont freak out if you suddenly find it tedious. Just stay consistent and the sparks will come back. 2. Do structured work. Dont wing it, especially not at the start. Create a plan for what you are going to do, and then do that. This doesn't stop you from just sitting down and vibing, but that should be complimentary to the structured work. 3. Have a community where you actively engage in discussions, problem solving, and importantly SHARE YOUR WORK. If you are afraid of sharing, though luck. That will only hold you back or prevent you from daring to show people your work when you actually are proud of what you have done. And if you dont share you eventually become blind to your own shortcomings and you progress. I would also like to add a fourth point 4. Analyse your work critically, and learn from those you look up to. When in doubt about how you should handle something? Try to analyse how someone who you think are good does it. These point can sum up pretty much how someone (I at least) can become very good at something they want to improve on. I've done this with everything from studying engineering, learning to become good at cooking, gaming and working out.

I decided to pick up my long abandoned habit of drawing in August since writing started to feel gloomy n dull. At first, I drew for a few minutes before feeling like I couldn’t do it and not opening my sketch book for days, a week at most, before I’d force myself to sit in my damn chair and try. I started from the basic fundamentals, using video tutorials, and had trouble n doubt that I wouldn’t be able to make drawings from imagination. Now, in November, I have a good understanding of the fundamentals. I can fill an entire page, getting lost in one sitting, and create characters n drawings straight from imagination. Who would’ve thought? Definitely not me. Although I took… many long walk aways from art, I still would come back to it and practice, and it fucking paid off. I still have a ton to learn but looking at my filled pages in my sketchbook gives me faith. Slow progress is still progress. Be kind to yourself. You’ll make it.

I’ve wanted to do something like this, but drawing is pretty much what i enjoy doing the most so i could never bear drawing with a time limit

[@KaycemCrew]

I totally understand! The way that I think about is that building a routine is what helps you draw all the time, even in those times when you want to but don't have thr motivation or spark~

[@saix705]

i think as a beginner artist you should attempt drawing everyday once to somewhat get into a routine of drawing a lot. I started drawing a couple months ago and i started with the intention of drawing everyday, kept at it for about 2 weeks until i burned myself out. Some people can draw everyday without getting burnt out and if you can id take advantage of it, but i wouldnt force myself if your not capable. It did allow me to be able to draw more than i usually would though.

[@KaycemCrew]

thanks for sharing! I definitely agree that at the end of it, routine is more important than trying to draw daily. 😁

[@CinzaChumbo]

Don't stop drawing while frustrated with drawing, stop while feeling good with it. The last mood you end an acitivity in tends to be the one associated with it. Try stopping while having fun. If getting frustrated with a particular drawing, change to another drawing, however small, on the side. Good luck in your art journey 🙋

Honestly. The reason I’ve stopped doing art all together is because I forced myself to draw hours on end on a daily basis. Along with doing art fundamentals/studies or sketches which made me rarely finish anything. I got so sick of it. I haven’t drawn for a year soon..but I’ve come to realize I don’t want to draw for others, I don’t want to make it into a career. I just want to get back into it, do it for myself, have fun, express myself. Sure I still want to improve but..I wish I could just do it by creating finished pieces. Learning whilst I’m say, creating a painting of a beach. Not by doing boxes, cylinders and gesture drawings or whatever. Maybe it works for some..but I just want to get back my love for art again 😢 I’m gonna work on getting past this block and anxiety, by getting myself a sketchbook and draw something I finish. Even if I work on that page for weeks or months until it gets finished. Start by 5 minutes until it feels better and my mind isn’t torturing me as it did before. I just..I love art..I think artists are so incredible and so strong mentally.

Loooool no you're right, I didn't use them 😅

[@kurooaisu]

Okay, now let's say I practice drawing pretty consistently. Then, let's also assume I probably have a solid one month plan, while in the meantime I'm preparing another plan for the next month. However, I'm notoriously very, very reluctant to find a community: many times I join group of likeminded people and I never had a great time. How can anyone help with that?

[@yohoekatta2463]

lets be friends i am searchin for one too

[@DivineAphelios]

Is it weird that, after a few years of drawing, i would like to start again and improve (or more accurate FIND) my artstyle but i then see how talented others are, get frustrated and dont even try... :/ i am pretty down rn and dont know what to do tbh. It feels like I can't do anything and have no talent at all...

[@KaycemCrew]

I know that feeling! It took my 6 years of not drawing at all and feeling like it was too late for me to finally give art a fresh and honest restart. Not saying you will have to wait 6 year but I do believe that art takes time and that if you plan for the long run, you will find the improvements you're looking for~ I hope my other KZbin videos can be of help to you too! 😁

[@alexdonthavelastname2182]

I've been struggling drawing recently. I've been drawing every day for a 30 day art challenge. But i think it's because i want the joy of drawing with someone.And i dont really joy with anyone anymore, just sitting in my chair very lonely

[@KaycemCrew]

If that is something you're struggling with, I'd recommend checking out my livestreams and drawing along! Alot of people I'm the community have found that to be more engaging then just drawing while watching a yt video

[@alexdonthavelastname2182]

@KaycemCrew Sorry I didn't see this sooner (also, I'm very shocked you replied). I have followed your twitch, but sadly, the time differences have made it so you stream at maybe 3-6am where I am. Otherwise, I would gladly watch and follow along!

[@ApeXrule]

What I struggle with is that I have never drawn digitally, only ever with sketch books. I want to get into digital art but I am absolutely clueless with technology and what equipment(?)/software/tablet(?) I need to learn how to draw digitally from scratch. I don't own a laptop or any tablets, just my own PC. Would it be possible to ask for a video on what tools I would need to get started and how to dive into digital art for an /absolute/ beginner?

[@KaycemCrew]

I love this idea! I'll definitely put it on my list of videos to make. Thanks for supporting my content @apeXrule 😄

[@ApeXrule]

That would be amazing, thank you for replying

[@splatgorek]

I want to do a four panel daily comic

[@KaycemCrew]

That's a great idea and a good exercise for coming up with stories!

[@ametistarr]

gosh, now, when im doing Inktober, i thought that this video could've helped me, though its alr 22 of october. And I already failed. My art for the first day was quite difficult and took a lot of time, while every other art started to take much less time due to my laziness. My last drawing took me around 10 minutes to draw. I don't even know how to finish Inktober, cause Im kinda tired of it alr

[@KaycemCrew]

I can understand the frustration and fatigue! If it helps, I'd aim to just have fun for the next couple inkyober prompts and don't worry about trying to show it online 😄

[@donnysheldon5835]

I wish I had seen this 3 years ago!

[@zelciuss]

I have a question I hope you can finally help me out... How can I make a color palette? Everytime I try, colors don't fit :( Is there a trick for this that doesn't need to copy someone's palette? Thank you!(Great videos, btw!)

[@aldamis8384]

It's just like starting to go to the gym. If you jump in and go 5 days a week purely on initial inspiration there's a very high risk of burning out when the inspiration is gone. It's best to slowly acclimate your brain to the change in behavior. Baby steps!

[@KaycemCrew]

100% agree! Gym bros know 💪

[@avargas9839]

I draw, 30 mins everyday at work since we have 2 15 mins break time and I draw poses, somehow Im pretty happy cause I stumble on my work at 3 months Go and could proudly say that I improved so much

[@KaycemCrew]

Glad to hear you've found a routine that's working out for you so far!

[@joshcarr_]

I will block out a starting time , pick any picture I’ve taken , or a scene from a game I enjoy, and just draw. Not tracking time, just going until I feel I’m done. It’s never going to be perfect, but I like my gut instinct drawings

[@KaycemCrew]

Thats great that you've found a method that works for you~ It's definitely less about tracking the time and more about drawing and enjoying the process

[@ConvenientlyShapedUsername]

"Run out of things to draw" lmaooo

[@KaycemCrew]

It happens to the best of us 😄

[@Xenimation_Studios]

This is really helpful

[@_Idra_]

Whenever I try to do a routine, I do it for the first 3 days and then I abandon it,😔 I am very lazy, xD I will try again to follow the routine, but this time in a way that I don't feel bored, but rather enjoy that time.

[@KaycemCrew]

That sounds like a good plan! Best of luck 😁

[@leanderdasilva1993]

this video was for me for sure

[@KaycemCrew]

Glad you found it helpful!

[@delima_gab]

what about this puzzle on your table? is it yours? if not, where do I find it ?

[@KaycemCrew]

1000 piece puzzle from target!

[@NoisyBrainCallmeNoi]

I think it’s weird that burnout can happen, I mean I understand but it doesn’t really happen to me. I just go from sketch to sketch, from emotion to emotion, doodle to doodle, marker to paint and pen to colored pencils, I just keep going X)

[@KaycemCrew]

Sometimes that can be the approach to go~

[@fantasy7320]

Is there a name to this artstyle? I love how it feels simple and how the clothes are being made also the way the color blends

[@KaycemCrew]

I'm sure a name for it exists 😅 thanks for the kind words

[@caelinart]

i never had one artist in my entire life. Yet i'm drawing every day since 3 years. So i'm not sure about the community thing. Might be good for feedback, but on the other hand- you're the one who should know how you want to express yourself. So.. i don't think the community part is neccessary. If you want to improve a teacher or someone with more expertise can be a better option. BUT! To have a community is awesome. Having things to share and talk about does improve your way of thinking a lot. I just want to say that if you're more a loner type of guy- you don't have to worry.

[@artbymiwsher]

I can relate to a lot of this. I encourage myself by having the dumbest, most mundane and boring medium available to me at all times, knowing it won't discourage me from doing the dumbest, most mundane and boring sketches at all times ― the key phrase here being _at all times_. Having a fancy sketchbook (or iPad, for that matter ― my favourite means of drawing of the moment) available might actually discourage me to noodle around for fear of it not being "perfect" ― I correct this by keeping an old exercise book, paired with a simple ballpoint black ink pen and the recent addition of a single cheap fat marker to add some colour. So basically, I can draw anything i want without fear of judgement by others ― or worse ― myself! About the sketches, gesture drawing is definitely a good idea but what I generally do is a form of "napkin sketches" ― I draw tiny rectangles, approximately 1.5 x 2 inches dimensions or so, and I force myself to fit my ideas into them. So I draw many of those per drawing session, which helps because of repetition. As for what I draw ― anything and everything around me that catches my eye. These mundane art tools are on the passenger seat of my car so I sketch in traffic ― examples might be a person sitting on the road side, cars and other vehicles from different angles, and buildings of all types as I pass them.

[@KaycemCrew]

Thank you for sharing your approach as well and good to hear it's working out for you 😁

I don't understand why I need to start all my drawing sessions with watching this, but alright.

[@KaycemCrew]

🤣 good question

[@enzzn]

Draw everything that would make you said "oh fuck this one would be funny or hot or lewds or whatever" when i put thin on my mind, its make drawing more enjoyable.

[@KaycemCrew]

glad you found something that worked for you!

[@lemonii.toffii]

How can these steps help me when I am an intermediate artist that used to draw a lot more every day but wants to get back into the habit and really create like I used to? I also have projects I wanna do and make a portfolio

[@KaycemCrew]

Hey, Thanks for watching the video! I'd say that these steps are probably the most valuable to the intermediate artist as often times, this is the stage in your growth were building experience and mileage will be key. It often is how artists can avoid the dreadful "art plateau" by learning to rely less on motivation and spur of the moment when drawing while also not feeling to frustrated with having to make something "perfect" every time. These are just my thoughts but I hope they help!

[@lemonii.toffii]

@@KaycemCrew thank you. Yeah I don't draw as much as I would like and feel weird sometimes about art. Kind of like hesitant to start drawing but wanna make something and can make something because I do have better skills. I'm overcoming it but it still gets in the way sometimes.

[@TheSaintsVEVO]

I’m curious, why do some people leave their tea bags in the cup when they drink it?

[@KaycemCrew]

one word: laziness LOL

[@zachshield5187]

So for the past 2 years, Ive been drawing for at least 3 hours a day. Sometimes 4, and occasionally 6. Im curious whether I should reduce my drawing time to try out this strategy just in case Im making a mistake

[@KaycemCrew]

I'd say I doesn't hurt to try but also don't worry about whether you're making a mistake or not. It can be so easy to feel like we're making mistakes in our art journey and that we "have to do it a certain way" when really everyone's path is unique! Best of luck and I hope my other videos can help you too 😄

[@zachshield5187]
