"Why you don't need TALENT to draw" - Explained

[@JustAnotherNameYo]

I love that people always say Van Gogh started art later in life but he was in his 20s. Me, I did start later in life. Months before my 40th birthday. In my 8 years of drawing I have advanced to a level I never thought I’d reach. I do realistic portraits and comics. KZbin has been a huge help since I’ve had no formal training, . Anyone can learn to draw if I did.

[@Kokopilau77]

Congrats on that! I started drawing at 44. Nowhere near “good”, but I can see that I’ve improved in the past year when looking at my earlier sketches. It’s awesome when you can see it.

[@mansimalik8826]

Hey! Could you share some KZbin channels that helped?

[@Kokopilau77]

@@mansimalik8826 I just searched on KZbin for it. This channel has helped, as well as Jabba and Cherry Deluxe. I’m more going for the cartoon styles. There’s also the quick line sketch, where it’s as it says - a quick & rough sketch to get the general shape. I’ve used other channels that I cannot remember ATM, but there’s a ton here.

[@JACKOS-YA]

rlly late but, me and my friends are doing a comic. Any advice?

[@atuldoestuff]

As someone who is slow at progress. You cant expect to get better at anything if you cant enjoy it. I used to be a try hard when I started drawing heroes and all as a kid. Only if I relax and realize that making a mistake on the paper wont kill me did I feel like I was the one holding my pencil and not my anxiety. Im 17 and due to studies am inconsistent in filling up my sketchbook, but when I do, I want to focus more on enjoying it than being perfect. Enjoy the process and gradually progress will occur.

[@KeshArt]

Amen!

[@missmjl2468]

My parents scoffed at my desire to be an artist when I was young and told me I needed to get a good sound office job. So i did. It stopped every creative bone I had. I thought as I didn't have "talent" they were probably right. Over the years i dabbled ind a few sketches and graphic design under the impression you cant make a living from that. Only now at 55 years old am I realising that I should have been an artist. Your videos, particularly this one have really helped me immensely. Thankyou Kesh.

[@KeshArt]

So happy for you that you are starting out now. And so glad you are finding these helpful. Your story will inspire many to take on this journey. I might also argue that you've been doing "art" all this while as well. The experience you've gained so far is HARD MATERIAL for the art you are about to do now. All you need to focus on is the technique, which is fairly easy to gain. So excited for you!! Keep going and don't stop :)

[@annej7299]

I grew up with that same notion the guy was talking about in the clip, it’s been a process to shift away from those beliefs and only recently I’m starting to actually believe, hey I can learn this too. It’s crazy what impact these things have on the trajectory of your life. Thanks for a great reminder.

[@CookiedoughUwU]

As a procrastinator, I've been very hesitant to learn how to draw since everytime I try, I'm not consistent. But I've been looking at your drawing camp for awhile now and if I can be consistent in writing or playing video games then I can be consistent in drawing as well, I admire all of these tips when it comes to drawing. I like how you always tell us to put effort into drawing and you'll get what you want, vs other artists who would just tell us that if you do this one thing, one time and never commit then you could automactically learn how to draw. Sometime this month, I will purchase your drawing camp, since not only it's the best priced drawing program that I've seen but it's the best quality at a fast pace and it's easy to fallow through with it. If Deepali and you can draw then so can I!

[@DharmaDeepSleep]

The character model is so beautiful. Especially the costumes, I really like the characters wearing clothes.

[@PlantHoardingAdventures]

Hey just found you and just wanted to stop in and say thanks for the encouragement, i like you have been drawing since childhood and even took lots of art classes through the years but somewhere along the way things changed and i gave up my dream of being a graphic artist professionally, BUT now i'm sort of a stay at home mom, not that i have the free time but i'm trying to make it so i can get back to it, and hearing you say all of these things is like a warm hug and reminder that even though i'm almost 40 i still have time to learn a new skill like using porcreate and get better at my skill :) thanks! cant wait to check out your other videos :)

[@navilsarteries]

That’s a very good piece of advise many people don’t know ‘learning requires rest’.. often people get frustrated why they can’t do it while they don’t give enough time to their brain to process it and their frustration lead them to quit it. Where as the simple process is learn.. rest…try and repeat this like you are enjoying it don’t let it become a burden for you.

[@KeshArt]

Oh yeah, it's been a big learning for me, to incorporate processing time into my learning.

[@quinn0110]

"No amount of natural ability can compete with diligent practice" -Jeff Goin. I draw traditional way, but wanted to learn digital art. I started to practice 6 months ago. I followed Kesh advise, practice EVERYDAY, even for few minutes. Looking back on my first digital art 6 months ago, I couldn't believe my improvement in just short time. Yes there is a so called 'innate talent", but it'll be useless without consistent practice. Remember, Kesh wasn't born an artist, he mold himself as an artist, he practice.

I agree with you bro... I used same strategy to learn and continuously do it... Once understanding the concept there needs a lot of practice and your own experiments. I thank all the real heros who shares their experiences. It made life easier you just have to be clear why you are learning something.

[@antarasengupta9000]

hey kesh ! I really resonated with your video. the part where you were frustrated with your art before you found passion in it is where I think I relate to. still trying to be passionate 😅, but I know I will get there. thank you for motivating me😄😁.

[@Johuku]

Thank you. This video has given hope to this 29 year old who aspires to create his own comics and cartoons one day. Been drawing seriously since last november and i will continue practising with this new motivation in mind.

[@KeshArt]

That is great!! Keep at it, you'll get there!

[@Johuku]

@@KeshArt Thank you, it means a lot to hear you say that. The road is long and hard, but one i feel i must walk to truly discover myself, both as an artist and as a person.

[@arkanimation9833]

It starts with having an open mind for whatever it is we learn, so many people slow down their process of progression with saying “I can’t do this” when if you have to say that at least add yet at the end. Or I am currently improving my skills. Start with a ready to grow mindset and any learning journey is just a little bit easier, I fully agree with this.

[@KeshArt]

Very true, the stories we tell ourselves creates identities that dictates our beliefs and actions. Good to tell a good story:)

[@thatguyray5517]

You don’t need talent to be a great artist but it’s definitely helps. Person with talent would be similar to a character in an rpg game with a 10-25% exp boost. They both can get a similar end result if they put in the work but the one with talent will just have an easier time getting there

[@dequasont1063]

Talent is how fast you learn. Everyone can learn anything, just the time needed will varry ...

[@m.perspective101]

There are people born with artistic talents, I myself believes I'm one of those people. Growing up, I observed people around me having a hard time drawing something I found so simple. However, I don't think one needs to be born with talent in order to become an artist. Talent exist in every field of arts and sciences. Take boxing as an example, there are exceptional fighters among other fighter, those who were born with talent, but this doesn't stop others from becoming a boxer. What we need is diligence in order to develop a skill.

[@skyhavender]

Well here's the thing i think i am just lazy / stupid cus i dont learn from my mistakes. I just keep repeating the mistakes over and over 6 and a half months of drawing and i still do the same mistakes. 😂 Studying by myself. Also if your student did arcetecture she already has the art fundamentals hammered in to her head. Because architecture is drawing.

Yes! It can be done. However it requires practice and a step to do it. I can see how much I’ve improved in the past year, despite not participating as much as I need to. Nowhere near on the level of Kesh, but confident enough to draw something on my whiteboard for my students. They actually look forward to it, and I have a few teachers coming in to see why I’ve drawn. I’m 45. If you’re new to it or afraid of starting, just take that step. Your other foot will follow, and before you know it, you’re drawing well.
