What Should You Do When You Don't Know What to Draw?

[@MartinGoreEnthusiast]

Every time I feel sad I am just going to look back at this video remember that I got Scott Christian Sava to draw Martin Gore! Again, thank you so much Scott, it really made my entire week! :)

[@horseenthusiast9903]

Thanks for requesting the drawing, I was happy to see it too!

[@ssavaart]

Absolutely My Pleasure ♥

[@Manisha41363]

Nice!

[@vaulz_]

im so happy for you :D

[@oliversdesk]

hi sigma

[@lukekartavov2002]

I love how Scott calls the drawings “doodles”.

[@TheRoyaltyKitten_20]

Same dude

[@MomirsLabTech]

I was wanting a break from portrait practice sessions the other day and remembered a tiktok that i had watched earlier that day with my s/o. It was a tiktok featuring an older woman who was talking about the urn she picked out for herself, and she casually said "I yearn for the urn". I thought that was so funny that i had to immortalize that quote on a small canvas and now its hanging in our bathroom. My point being inspiration can come from anywhere and not all art needs to be serious! Make some art just to have fun when you dont know what to draw 😊

[@Muffinschaos]

I love the “not all art has to be serious” because most of my art is just me being silly and drawing like fifteen cats. It’s nice to just make dumb art, because the dumbness makes drawing it really fun and almost gives more motivation to draw because you’re having fun.

[@THEmine1999]

Scott is the GOAT

[@hallows7568]

Love the practice framing. Makes past failures feel more like a practice session that while not successful, pushed my skills further

[@Blue832]

You’re absolutely right. I do get like that, where I feel like everything I do needs to be a masterpiece. Sometimes I forget the other things I draw do matter and it is practice. It’s when I do actually draw something big and see the improvement that I know it wasn’t for nothing. Thanks for the reminder Scott! 😊

[@mohammadsv6102]

Fantastic video! I really felt the improvement in my art just by listening to your advices and it's really satisfying to see yourself getting better!

[@cheliceralbane]

I love drawing Angela from Stranger Things lol. She’s so pretty. Her lips and hair in particular are SUPER fun to draw

[@DanHatcher-u1q]

I always like the crosshatching in the background. It's just so satisfying!

[@artsy_dragon_creations]

You’re always giving us such wonderful advice. I wish I had this problem, but unfortunately I have the exact opposite problem where I have too many things I want to draw and I’m always wanting to push my skills to the next level, but unfortunately I don’t always have the spoons or the focus to do it. Right now I’m working on a new drawing of Spyro, and I really want to play with colors and lighting effects, adding a more detailed background to make it a full piece, and I’m really excited but also having difficulty focusing enough to do more

[@Ritagnya]

Can u give me some ideas then?

[@artsy_dragon_creations]

@@Ritagnya that all depends on what you like to draw. I’ve got two Spiderman drawings I need to finish coloring, a drawing of She Hulk, Storm, Spyro, Reptile from Mortal Kombat, and a handful of others

[@Reubentheimitator6572]

I have the same problem.

[@rubyophidian6004]

Honestly? Don't focus on just one, then. I have tons of half done sketches because when I don't know what to draw, I can revisit them, and a lot of times it helps me focus on things like anatomy or composition, bc past me already figured out what she wanted to draw, she just didn't have the time or energy to finish it.

[@Ciaran_Connell]

I haven’t drawn anything in so long bc I’ve had artist’s block, and don’t know what to even draw. But, I’m gonna go pick up my sketchbook right now and draw something. Thank you Scott!!!

[@Metalladar]

My favourite band is Volbeat, but they're not quite as well known. I think it's a shame because they have amazing music and Michael Poulsen, the lead vocalist and guitarist, has such an interesting look! He has very cool and fun features, and I'd absolutely love to see you draw him! Thanks for making amazing art and inspiring me to be a better artist every day!

[@Craftiecassie]

Thank you so much for everything you do, I just made a video on my channel recently showing my art and the only way I could figure out hair was by referencing you’re art! You’ve inspired so many of us so much! Thank you!

[@ssavaart]

You are so welcome!

[@EffteeAnimates]

Can you draw yourself and Donna one day?

[@Lynthechickennugget]

Omg! Yesss

[@bluflyingfox]

This video came at the perfect time ( I am STRUGGLING with art block right now) thanks for the reminder to just draw for practice and draw things that we like because we want too and to not put so much pressure on making ‘perfect’ art all the time. (Now I’m going to go draw some dragons!)

[@Lesss15]

I've been wanting to draw my favorite musicians and actors for so long, yet i never wanted to try because im afraid it will look terrible. Im not a portrait artist, im a cartoonist with a silly artstyle, so drawing real people has always been a challenge. Ever since ive made an art account, ive had so much pressure on my art, telling myself that my art has to be worthy of being posted. But ill try to remember what you said, that all my drawings dont have to be a masterpiece. I love your content and your beautiful art works! Youve inspired me to draw more and experiment more. My art has gotten so much better because of you. Thank you!

[@Pottybaby]

Scott’s channel is like my comfort place…one of the only artists that can actually motivate you ❤

[@dabestramen]

ART IDEA!!: have a skethbook dedicated to cartoon characters (I remember you said that you don’t have a very stylized art so this could be an opportunity to experiment a lot with that)

[@Lil-Pony]

I like straight drawings - no color but adding color really makes it pop and gives it dimension

[@bobhond3976]

Thank you Scott ❤ thank you for the peptalk ❤

[@the_onlykenji]

Thank you so much Scott, you always make my day as an artist and even as a human being. Even though we have a big gap in our skills, somehow you are always relatable and helpfull. Thank you 🙏🙏

[@srushtideshpande8]

You always give the best advice scott! Its always so on the point and best perspective to look with at art. Thank you so much ❤

[@FletcherCollier]

I love this! You have been one of the main things keeping me up in getting into art class and presuing my art career!❤❤❤

[@NOoBoDy-f8x]

tysm man for making this BANGER video!!!

[@mavris2510]

I love your videos so much! I am truly happy when i go to bed at night and i see that you posted a video, it s such a nice way to end your day🤍 You are doing a great job as an artist, a content creator and a human being. You just make people feel comfortable and cozy in their heart and I really hope you know that you have this ability because you should give yourself some credit or a bit of pride for that Also, for future moments like the one you are presenting here i want to make a suggestion: i would love to see you drawing Mr Glass from Glass and Unbreakable, he s such an interesting looking character and i think your style could combine really well with him PLUS HE HAS REALLY COOL HAIR

[@ssavaart]

You're too kind. Thank you! ♥ And yes, I'll definitely consider Mr. Glass

[@mavris2510]

[@RedJArt1]

Obviously just draw a red panda, the best thing to do.

[@Reubentheimitator6572]

Thanks for the encouragement to practice art, O Scott, and thanks for saying practice can be most of the art I do.

[@Exso-]

whenever i don’t know what to draw i like to look at some older drawings or sketches / doodles and take some aspects of them to put into a different one, or i ask my non artist friends what i could draw, and sometimes i look around or outside to get inspired! inspiration comes from so many different places

[@ChantelleArts]

This is so good, such a fantastic video Scott ☺☺

[@narrissagaines5128]

Your definition of a doodle and my definition of doodle is way different. Love your art, and you inspire me :>

[@adissiusly]

I draw sketches of random stuff with a blue gel pen in my tiny handbook: a cake shop, a turtle, chess pieces, flowers, the Sydney opera house, map of UK,...

[@Fluffypigeonsandowls]

Sometimes I just doodle something, like circles or something… and then suddently something comes up inside my head. And I suddently make like,… characters or animals etc without thinking about how then would end up looking. It’s just out of nowhere that those ideas then come to mind. 🙃 Anyways, amazing video’s as always! I really enjoy them. It’s always fun to listen and Watch your video’s! I love your drawings and sketches too! They’re amazing!☺

[@Kitcat821]

This is the kind of thing that inspires! What a great way to say it. Again thank you so much for sharing your advice ❤

[@AmantesdelDibujo]

Your sketchbook its amazing my friend. You ara a great great artist of course. I love the way you use the pencil and your technique it's just perfect. I love to draw since I was young, but unfortunately I stop drawing for many years, now I'm in my 50´s, and started again. So, I'm practicing from the fundamentals like forms and shapes and of course the anatomy. Your channel it's invaluable for those like me. Thanks a lot

[@rafaelatakami8019]

Thank you, Scott, I needed this! I know I've asked before, but I'd love to see you draw my favorite singer, Niall Horan. He's most known as a member of One Direction (you've painted his bandmate, Harry Styles, by the way), but he's now an amazing solo singer and he's very special to me. You're my favorite youtube artist, so it would be awesome to see you draw him ❤️
