You Can Draw Anything

[@jessicabelich9373]

I'm a high school art teacher and I'm so impressed with your knowledge and passion for this subject. I'm showing your video to my advanced students to help them understand what it means to research an idea for art-making and stay committed to it. Way to go Devin!

[@inhuman_human6790]

Show them to all your students. Not just the advanced ones.

Yeaa. Cause she is a professional artist she knows her shit maan

[@loganfoster2071]

This is so straightforward and funny thanks!

[@Vikidruil]

This was great! Most of these tips go beyond drawing aswell, and will probably be helpful in other creative work, such as creative writing. :)

[@DevinElleKurtzArt]

That's true, practicing "smart" and learning all about your subject applies for a lot of artistic endeavors!!

[@machidraws1]

how to draw anything in a nutshell 1. chose a subject 2. gather tons of reference on subject 3. set aside 20-30 minutes drawing said subject 4. rinse and repeat!!! 5. imagination - try to draw your subject from imagination do a 20 minute study session 10 minutes with ref 10 minutes without and bring back at the end to see how well you did

[@jnguardian5051]

I've been following Devin for a while on Instagram, and I've always thought about how priceless her processes was; and just how amazing it is that she's giving out such high-quality art tips/tutorials for free, and for everyone to see. Also, her art is just my absolute favorite! From her astonishing storytelling, to amazing atmosphere and so much more. I came along Devin's channel just recently, watched this video and I know you won't see this, but I thank you from the bottom of my heart for inspiring me to start becoming a better artist ❤ This video just made it so digestible to start from the scratch, without being confused where and what to do. What used to overwhelm me didn’t so much anymore, and this really helped me to babystep towards art improvement.

[@callmezizi]

agreeeeeed

[@kevinpazos9846]

I tried this and it worked. I'm working on a comic and there is a part which involves a horse... alot... and I'm happy to say I can draw a horse pouring a cup of coffee rubbing the sleep from his eyes complaining about how it's monday and he has to go to work. My life is complete.

[@jasonbezuidenhout968]

I always hear artists go on about practicing consistently, but its so helpful to have a breakdown of what that actually entails

[@nataliedarley3943]

I have a tendency to put great artists on a pedestal and picture them as being just as ethereal as some of their art, but your demeanor is so similar to my little sister’s that it totally threw me for a loop. She’s straightforward, funny and laid back. She is a fantastic artist but where you two majorly differ is where she has no confidence in her skill level. I’ll be showing this video to her in hopes of giving her a confidence boost. :)

[@harpercurry9280]

I love this! I've been struggling to branch out recently and have been daunted by the idea of starting something new. Thank you for the inspiration, as always ❤️

[@DevinElleKurtzArt]

I'm so happy to hear!! You should definitely start something new:D

[@ImpPoster]

Now I know some of the barriers I ran into when I dabbled in art. It's nice that you skip the shapes, connect the shapes, light shading, perfect detail summary and actually talk about what helps to build up knowledge and skills.

[@KuroNoUsagi]

This goes into my "Interesting" folder OwO. Always admired your drawing from twitter, and its nice to know your ways :3 Nice Autro too. Subscribed and turned on notifications!

[@abdududududu]

This is so straightforward and simple easy to learn for me who just started learning to draw

[@FarQuZeDesigns]

2 people don't like the truth, that it takes a shitload of time and effort to learn to draw something :D Awesome video!!!!

[@RadishTheFool]

Wow, this is such a comprehensive, clear, well-structured, and motivating video, and all of that in less than 10 minutes! 🤯 You rock. Thank you very much! ☘️

[@LandonKinney]

This is a fantastic breakdown on how to learn to draw. Thanks!

[@carmelpaints313]

How the hell have I only just discovered you? You have taught me so much in the 4 HOURS I have known of you!

[@Hydro-od2rt]

Just coming back too this video too say haveing multiple imagine of styles and art works you like on computer too look over and be inspired and look too reference is the greatest tip ever seriously thank you so much

[@chewingpeppers]

I'm so glad I found you through tumblr!! not only your art is mesmerizing and captivating, but I truly appreciate your tips and all the content you made available for us, such as brushpacks and psd files. I love this video. thank you so much!!

[@Richard-mz7qu]

Your guidance and instruction is really insightful and very helpful! Thank you for taking the time to share this great continent.

[@shukongandfriends601]

I have to be honest: at first I was a wee bit disappointed that you weren't available to work on a project together; but you've given me/us a wonderful gift with this video. In 8 minutes, you've shared the core of your philosophy and practice. Incredible. Falling in love with your prowess all over again. You'd better believe I'm gonna use this!

[@Damo3103]

This is the second time I’ve watched this since last year. Thank you again for your words of advice.

[@kaitlinhoyt]

This is one of the most accurate break-downs of the drawing/learning process I've seen! SOO much valuable information here.

[@Mellow16Yellow]

This is one of the most helpful things I have ever seen, in most art classes I have taken they briefly touch on most of these concepts but don’t really fully explain them, this is epic

[@trixxieland1789]

So inspiring, every time I watch this! Thank you!

[@mariechevalier73]

THANK YOU for sharing your work process...i discovered you 2 days ago and i just got hooked on your style, your way of explaining... I am gonna explore all these possibilities with ink...thank you !!!

[@Karla_Smith]

Good information to keep in mind for this newbie as an old mare. It's never too late so I'm going to enjoy my mistakes as well as my accomplished works.

[@chuctanundaspiderbone5407]

This is the best, most concrete and usable advice on learning to draw that I have ever come across. A Whole process, but simple to follow. Thank you.

[@GrandWastelandGarden]

This is THE BEST video of found and has helped me the most of anything (like seriously I managed to improve quite a bit after watching) thanks so much!!!!

[@kinodannker]

love your teaching style and your hair.

[@shadylynx152]

I have been a bit hesitant to get back into drawing since I had a break for awhile, but this video really inspired me to maybe try something new with my art. So thank you, this video was great! c: Big fan of your work too, keep it up.

[@doriannajoo]

Thank you! You explained it so practically and very encouraging!

[@lightaskha]

Sure! Make more videos! I've grown so much after your tutorials for only a week! Thank you for sharing these videos!

[@Svemirsky]

I just love how art skills are so _meta_ - like you can easily use these steps in every type of art 🤓 And kudos to you for making this video, I have zero idea how I came here but I'm sure glad I did 😊

[@almarma]

Wow! You collected here a ton of good advices! I agree with you on everything, I thought I was good but when I begun learning seriously about drawing I saw I had a lot of flaws but I begun learning to use charcoal (highly recommended) and to see light and contrast. After a few months I improved A LOT. Then, when you change materials you'll feel like you're going backwards, but it's not true, it's just that different materials need different techniques. As Devin says, you won't get perfect overnight, but in a few months you'll notice a lot of improvement if you're constant. Thank you Devin for your art and your videos, I discovered you recently and I fell in love with your art instantly. I love the emotions and the story behind your drawings. They talk and you have lifted my motivation to get better at drawing.

[@DevinElleKurtzArt]

I'm so happy to hear that!! Thank you for your lovely comment ❤

[@almarma]

​@@DevinElleKurtzArt No, thank YOU again for sharing your art and knowledge :). I recently begun following you on Instagram because I fell in love with what you do. I begun one year ago to post pictures of my drawings there and in summer I lost my motivation because simply "drawing things or animals" wasn't funny anymore but your drawings or paintings tell a story, and I'm committed now to try again to follow your path and tell stories with my drawings. My name is @AlbertoMartinsen on Instagram: instagram.com/alberto_martinsen/

[@dks6515]

i have been following on instagram for so long now, but i didn't know you had a youtube channel! Really helpful video, i think i need to restructure the way i'm doing studies. Thanks!

[@miyafoxy2540]

I still coming back here to remember this tips, it still important to me.

[@NinaKlos]

Yup. Good advice. I improved a ton when I started using & copying real life from references :) references references references. If a magic key to improving existed, it would be references. (& how to use them properly)

[@DevinElleKurtzArt]

Totally agree! Using them properly is a huge part!

[@miyafoxy2540]

I constantly came back here on this video for remember those things

[@RedMangabey]

I've never seen this kind of study process before, thanks for this video!

[@Khairinatika]

I always look for references, but never to the point to really observe and learn the essential part. Thank you for this fruitful video!

[@vickisigh2674]

this is an incredible helpful video omg thank you!

[@makototamari6284]

This was actually what i needed, i'm glad i clicked in this video and i loved how to the point are the tips

[@rickwilliams9980]

You've really inspired me to finally start really practicing instead of just half ass attempting things. Thank you!

[@mushroom262]

This might be the most helpful tutorial I've seen! Took me 2 years to find all this info out on my own, and this was still tremendously helpful to me! Will recommend to any other beginners aswell 😁

[@treilly261]

You Are a Wonderful teacher. You broke it down so well!

[@doomlight4672]

Oh God this is one of the best and most helpful videos on KZbin :o Thank you so so much!!! I’m currently struggling a lot with learning new subjects and drawing something different than just cats or wolves :) And you are honestly one of my biggest inspirations, keep up the great work!

[@DevinElleKurtzArt]

Aww Im so happy to hear you enjoyed it! Let me know if it helps!

[@stephanieworrell3638]

The best video advice on drawing I have ever watched ! Thank you so much !

[@ma7760]

I appreciate your advices .. in my case I don't really have a big problem with drawing I learn it quickly... but my challenging matter is digital coloring... I am in lack of techniques ..

[@laivawolf]

Woow the structure is really helpful, thank you very much for the video! I really needed this "step-by-step" process of learning since I skipped some parts and tried to learn just by copying from references qAq So, thank you!

[@DevinElleKurtzArt]

Im so glad to hear!

[@artcafe2684]

Awesome and solid advice. Thank you.

[@aquablastja]

Thanks for explaining the process. I was afraid to use references and expected progress way too fast. Also the ending made me feel like i just saw a romcom :)

[@rchoneycutt6419]

Seriously, one of the most informative video for working on our own art skills... thank you for a great how-to vid!

[@manuela0986]

[@andreytan5919]

This is the video that I was looking for in a long time! Thanks for your awesome explanation about how to develop the creative side of drawing! I have always wondered how to improve creatively but couldn't find a video explaining how to do this. I'm sure many artists, including me, will find this advice very useful while practising drawing! 😄❤️

[@Just.for.fun.376]

I just discovered you from csp and trust me people like me who are trying to learn digital art, desperately need teachers like you. Please please, I beg you, please make more videos.

[@ChrisChaos666]

So this is the video that got me into drawing which later progressed into ink sketches and you've made learning to draw so simple. Your explanations and tips have guided me into my own art style and I just wanna say thank you. Whenever people ask how did I get so good at drawing I just send them the link to your KZbin videos lol but I just wanted to say thank you and soon I will do a ink sketch of your face only because I think your pretty and cool af. So keep doing what you're doing and have a blessed day.

[@kellymae81]

Getting many photo reference is a habit. Often it end up collecting more reference and forgot to draw. But yes, it takes time to memorize to draw. Great video.

Where can I learn more about stylization and exaggeration? I draw and paint really well but I don't really understand those two aspects of drawing.

YOU'RE AMAZING, IT REALLY HELPED ME! REALLY REALLY REALLY THANK YOU!!!!!!

[@dragonfire7965]

If you practice drawing something from photo reference at the beginning (and mark on the page that these drawings are entirely referenced off existing images), then share that sketchbook page in a sketchbook tour type thing, is that plagiarism? Should I just get images from free stock photos, write the artist below the drawing/tag them if its an instagram post, or just not share that page at all?

[@natashaa2269]

You are awesome! Thank you
