Thank you for this video - it has helped me so much as a newbie artist. Regarding your comments about getting eveything down before evaluating it, I couldn't agree more. I have found this works in many creative processes from thinking of a business idea to general problem solving. Even the things that you decide are no good later on can often springboard to better ideas when being assessed after the initial brainstorming.
you taught me more in 8 minutes than I learned all week searching google. Not only that, you answered all my questions and then some. Now If I can get down drawing circles better I'll be in biz. I saw an instant improvement in my drawings after watching. Thanks
I dont agree with that. Talent is talent man and most of the greatest drawers and painters started to show skills at early ages. All guys I knew that could draw like hell taught themselves to do so. You are born with that, thats why not all us can draw. Its sad but its true. All those guys selling you books, stuff to learn etc its all in vain, if you have the talent its a matter of taking a pencil and all flows naturally.
well..I am a professional ilustrator and I learned (and still learn) to draw... I believe that one born with the passion for it, not with the talent itself... the learning process is long, boring, frustating and you can never stop training... if love you love it enought to face it, then you learn to draw...
Let me take a stand here and say that there is nothing that cannot be learnt through practice. "Practice makes Perfect".
Like any other skill worth acquiring, drawing also requires practice and determination. Why do you expect yourself to make an amazing drawing on your very first attempt? Masters often draw their subjects several times before they actually begin to make their final drawing.
@loombaron Yeah, I think you really need to have that passion for it. Yeah any book can teach you how to draw a cartoon but you won't be able to do it yourself. You really have to experience it for yourself.

My mother told me that when I FIRST held a pencil, I was holding it the right way.
I am 17 today and I draw like crazy, character design, still life, creative doodling.
I don't want to sound like I'm braggin but I think I was literally born to draw.
Haha

Totally not agree with loombaro. Anyone knows that drawing is a skill that you can buy with a lot of practice.

You know you're an artist when:
1.You really have a passion for drawing
2. You experience/learn things on your own.
