bro, i have a thing to point out, your voice is too high, it will make the video sound better

Lmaooooo on g

AI art was my motivation to truly start art my art career 3 months ago. If all that’s gonna be left on the internet is AI garbage, might as well make art by real humans. But vengeance is not a good reason, so another big reason is because I just love doing it. As a programmer nothing is more relaxing doing art than dealing with stupid errors all of the time.

lmao nah, ai makes better stuff than him in seconds

@@manee2412ai steals art

K@@Zauriah11

My own mother and my sister did the same thing to me when I was about 13. My mom even discouraged my dream of becoming an animator because my friend had already tried and didn't get into the program, so she assumed I wouldn't be able to as well. It hurt so much. I'm 31 and still not over it.

I stopped drawing when I was 14 because my dad and brother made fun of me for drawing anime and K-pop idols. I recently started drawing again but it’s very discouraging to see how much my art decreased in quality compared to when I was younger.

お前の性的嗜好は？

Felt that too. When I was in highschool people made fun of me for drawing and watching anime. Then I renounced drawing for many many years. Recently I got back in the game again; now I'm a 37 year old dude trying to draw anime characters and I'm feeling great. Glad you regained your passion for art.

If it makes you guys feel better, none of that happened to me and i still stopped. Chances are that you would stop anyway tbh. Only when you are an adult that you really start knowing what you want (and have the determination to do so).

Yeah, wasn’t he studying to become an architect at some point (or his dad wanted him to be an architect or smth)?

​@@trashbunny4752 he was studying to be an engineer (I think) buuuut, he bought his first gaming pc via selling artwork he made in photoshop.

It’s almost like he ‘has talent’…or developed it already.

Oh wow i didn't know that😮 his coloring on drawings look soo good.

People be like "How did he became better than half of the community overnight?" (That is if we conveniently ignore that half of the community are in the art industry and are insanely good at their craft) and then ignore that he has art education and even took commissions at one point to pay off rent.

This is big true. Tons of famous artists didn't even start sketching until they were well past their 30s or even their 40s. You got plenty of time to become a badass artist!!!

just remember that it doesnt happen quick without hard work

:-: for me it always make me feel bad abt myself reee

This honestly made me... It made me wanna pick up a pencil again. I started drawing when i was 12 or so and kept for a year. And then i got frustrated, everything i did was ugly in my eyes and then never drew again. Now im 19, almost 20 and looking at my friends who are around my same age, doing amazing artworks... Made me miss the feeling of drawing. And then pewds vid... I think i might try again. I dont know how far ill get, but i hope i can make at least one good draw. I thought i was too old to try again and such... But pewds is almost doubled my age and still wanted to learn. Thats a huge factor that made me consider drawing again

@@its_sisha_not_chair505 aw 🫂 go for it! gl !

Props to him! He did great

I think if I would do that there wouldn’t be anyone who would want to look at my sketchbook anyways 😫😂😭

ikrr i was embarrassed enough letting my sister flip thru my first sketchbook cuz she wanted to see it (she asked me first) i can't even begin to imagine showing it to THAT many people-

he had no shame because he wasn't an artist. He was just trying it out for the first time. It's different for people who consider themselves artists and take their work seriously.

I think Pewds promoting that sorta mindset is a very healthy thing. You can tell Pewds didn't like his early drawings, he said as much himself, but the fact of the matter is he still showed it to all of us. He showed it off so casually as just part of the process, which is what it is, but so many people are afraid of doing the same. You're often your own worst enemy when it comes to this stuff, as everyone *knows* how tough the journey is to becoming good at art. Pewds just had the balls to show it off for what it is, and I could not have more respect for that.

you shouldddd!!! it inspired me as well!

Something a bit off when pewdipie said he only practiced 10 minutes a day

​@@videogamesruinedmylife3769 Bruh... Nothing is off. He said his goal was 10 min/day but ended up spending more time drawing since he was having fun.

Fr n being lazy asf

I hope all artist under 18 understand that the real world doesn’t care if you’re too unmotivated to draw, animation studios, and game studios, turn around trash artist every day. Put in the work now that you’re young so you won’t be a starving artist when you’re older

Yeah mate

compared to how long most artists take to improve it may as well seem like it

@@dieselengineman Let me tell you an interesting thing. (X) Average artists improve slowly. (O) Average artists play video games / Scrolling Facebook, TikTok, UKposts / Waste time at their free time instead of practicing drawing. They might have only 200 hrs of practicing in 3 years and still tell you “I’ve been drawing for 3 years.” Trust me, I am a pro illustrator and I’ve seen a lot. What pewds showed is just normal speed of human learning.

speaking facts rn

100 days is like, over three months. I’ve never improved this fast but yeah art can improve a LOT over the course of even one month.

Yeah, I had a lot of time like that, but now I'm aware that we should actually study the fundamentals to support our drawings. If we're not doing our drawings, how do we know which fundamentals we should prioritize studying and improving? Let's start a project to get out of this "just studying" loop :)

@ bro by the time I actually get to applying all the art advice I get/got I'd have procrastinated so long that I'd have completely forgot about it.

@@spacetaco048 lmao I can really relate I'm starting to do my drawings and paintings now but I forgot many things I read or watched these years. but it'll be easier to remember or relearn.. I think 😐

@@PizzaTowerPlayer you the type of dude to tell an alcoholic “just stop drinking lmao”

Can we talk about that real quick? No hate on anybody just uses it as a reference, but AI bros are extremely toxic. The moment I suggest anything even remotely humane, they usually flood entire comment chains and trip over each other just to either call you subhuman or laugh at any misfortune AI causes.

@@Mrhellslayerz It's because they don't understand the whole overall goal. They don't know what it really means to make something for yourself, and just want an easy money making scheme. AI is not sustainable, so it's just NFTs all over again.

@@XPISigmaArt AI is plenty sustainable; it's just code, code that you can easily share and download. The only reason why it's monetized now is become of how much processing power it takes to run. In the future, as the hardware and processing power costs reduce, it could become a free app that everyone is able to use. The goal is to make art more accessible to everyone. As the technology advances, anyone will be able to create art regardless of how many hours they put into practicing drawing. That isn't a bad thing.

@@research417 1. Art is already accessible to everyone. I've seen artists use their phone with their finger to make amazing work. I've seen people use their mouth and a paint brush. If you think typing words = skill that is worth respecting, you're objectively wrong. This is NOT like coding. Coding is not a glorified Google search. 2. They aren't creating anything. 3. You can enjoy your McDonalds if you want. But no need to make up things to defend it. 4. The machine was trained on tons of artist's work without their consent, and they aren't getting a cut of the profits. If this sounds good to you, you really didn't critically think about this. I've spent enough time here, and I doubt I've changed your mind. But your talking points have been destroyed countless times, so please reevaluate. Good luck.

@Mrhellslayerz fr man, nobody talks about how toxic ai bros are. Ill never forget the stuff they were saying about sam on reddit.

That’s one good thing that has happened!!!!

@@MohammedAgbadi I know right?

not very fast, but I suppose faster than others, yeah

No way he could never (saving bro from mappa 🙏)

I feel like Pewds is the type of guy, who would do oldschool CEL animations, just because it looks "better"(has more character).

Felix --> Loid Forger route unlocked

👍👍 trial and error but progress forward.

Trying and failing is always making improvement, because you now know what you did wrong, and with the correct self criticism you can check what you need to do better. The fear of failure is unfortunately what gets so many people stuck

They say that is something is worth doing, then its worth doing badly (like hobbies :D) but art I believe is one of those fields where perfect practice needs to be applied consistently in order for growth to happen. The biggest takeaway from Pewdiepie in my opinion, is the fact that: 1. He was consistently drawing (Big difference from drawing everyday). 2. He was willing to make mistakes. 3. He was willing to learn. All these combined make for the perfect combo for efficient learning since a beginner who asks alot and is willing to learn from their many- MANY mistakes will reach a progression faster than anyone else who doesnt. This is where I'd like to highlight one important key thing in fields where learning is involved is how accepting are you to make mistakes. Often time in art, and even myself, I find people tend to strive for perfection always and avoid making mistakes. Pewdiepie here casuallys draws what he learns, highlights his mistakes, then tries again with the newfound knowledge- and consistently too. Pewdiepie's journey is one of those stories that really goes to show you what a dedicated person can do to their crafts with the right goal and mindset.

School just ignored this

Trying and failing is the opposite of zero improvement, if you use an iterative method to l2draw you quite literally want to fail faster.

Fr

eh he just drew anime girls a very generic thing to do

​@@chaserseven2886way to prove his point. If you're having fun, it shouldn't matter what/how you draw. But of course the art community also has to have people like you...

You can learn all of that in less than a month tbh, it's a completely learnable skill, not as good as him now but you would better than him when he started the challenge.

plus his wife is an artist so it's not a suprise

@@edasayg5774 ok? his wife is an artist, do you think her artistic skills just transferred over to him as soon as they got married? what kind of logic is that

@@IssaKristi what a dumb comment, wish patience to those around you, blocked

​@@IssaKristiI think they meant that PewDiePie MIGHT have asked his wife for tips to improve in art, and not in the way they worded it. Don't even judge directly when you didn't get the point they were trying to make sense.

Yes sure, cause thats how learning art works. He clearly has the skills and understanding now to keep learning and creating, which is what every artist does

Your mind will be blown when you learn what art styles are.

​@@TruckahhmfAn art style =/= drawing the same thing over and over because it's all you know. To produce interesting art that's more than just a copy of something that someone else developed, you've got to learn the fundamentals. Shape, line, light and shadow, perspective, anatomy. This gives an artist the ability to draw anything they want, and they can then apply their stylistic choices on top of that. That being said, Pewdie's approach isn't harmful or useless - in addition to learning how to draw simple anime girls, he clearly was able to improve skills like line confidence, balance/proportion, and accurately reproducing what he sees on paper, which he can apply when drawing other things. But it's important to understand that there's much, much more to 2d art than this.

@@kikiseo I appreciate your insights and find the whole thing very intriguing. Thank you.

​@@DonnyKirkMusicYour point is very sensible and I agree with you. It's also irrelevant in a certain sense. You're correct that an aspiring artist will have to sacrifice precious time honing their skills, giving up opportunities for much safer career paths, all for an occupation that's always been difficult. Especially now after AI art is a thing, it feels increasingly hard to recommend the profession to young people with dreams but without privilege. However, the lesson I've taken away from this is tenacity. Remember Pewdiepie's drawing of live-action Sonic? There'll always be something or the other to discourage you.

​@@DonnyKirkMusicPrivilege may have given him an advantage when building his channel and brand, but unless he secretly took expensive art classes we know nothing about, privilege had nothing to do with this particular challenge.

​@@DonnyKirkMusic but didn't he mention he started with a goal of drawing for 10 minutes a day? I feel like anyone could afford that amount of time, and it doesn't need to be called a privilege

​​@@DonnyKirkMusicyour point doesn't really make sense in this context. even people who spend 11hrs away from home because of work (like me) have the ability to carve out 30 minutes of their day to practice drawing its just that most people choose to do other things like watch TV. What PewDiePie has which most people don't is the discipline to be consistent.

@@liviwall662 But it is much easier to stay consistent, when you have double or even triple the free time someone else has. He can watch TV and make the drawing, while many people have to choose one or the other. I wouldn't call this discipline per se. Like Pewds said, he started to enjoy it more, which to me seemed like he spent hours drawing on some days (this is simply not possible for everyone). Don't get me wrong, Pewdiepie's improvement is great and inspiring for everyone. I don't think time should stop anyone from drawing. It's okay to go at your own pace. What matters is having fun. Another thing is, that people should not automatically expect the same results as him. Pewdiepie already drew a lot as a child, people often call this talent, but at a young age you learn a lot quicker (even if it doesn't seem that way, or when the drawings aren't pretty). He also made art with photoshop in high school (and sold it for money), meaning he already had a background in art. This helps tremendously in picking up this stuff quicker. Nonetheless, his improvement stays amazing. The takeaway message from Pewds video is when you put in the work, you will get better. Even spending 10 minutes each day. You should learn from others, but should not compare with them, only compare with yourself in the past.

Meanwhile some medieval weapons ethusiast youtuber still trying to convince that he is an artist by typing words.

@@greatveemon2 it's sad that I think I know exactly what medieval weapons youtuber you're talking about too.

@@greatveemon2what a fall from grace. to think i used to like his content

Same here

It kinda feel like those "free trial" stuff

Sometimes my art is just worse than usual and if i’m not feeling it i go take a break for a bit and come back in a day or two

Sometimes…. I’ll be in THE ZONE, drawing and colouring and feeling SUPER motivated. And then the next day…. Picking up the pencil and drawing ONE character feels like the hardest thing in the world 😭

Same here. It's the same with writing. Some days you feel like drawing or writing and can do so well in it, but then the next day you lose the motivation.

Fr

uh he used to become a gprahic designer

he was a graphic designer

But what if the good days never come?

​@@nangbabyThen takes a step back. Think about why they aren't coming. It's possible that you just need to take a moment to breathe and rethink your approach. And it's always possible that you didn't like something as much as you thought you would. But if you are feeling that in GENERAL... that might be depression by that point

I’m trying to teach myself that failure is a good thing, because it not only teaches me but it makes me want to try even more so I can finally succeed. Failure also shows you’re trying, which it good.

@@treyyert9561 Failure isn't a good thing for me, because it's reinforcing. Just as success leads to success, failure leads to failure.

Oh yeah, i vaguely remember a video he made where he drew an anime girl, not sure if that's still up (it was during his gaming era)

And he gave the anime girl Goku hair lmao

He made a lot of Photoshop artwork back then and they are all dope. He has a DeviantArt that everyone can still view to this day. It's fair to say that creativity runs in his veins and it's something he always had

@@acylain4178 omg i had no idea he had a DA, i NEED to see this xDD

Exactly why I think hes lying about being a complete beginner. Hes just refreshing his memory of what he already learned in the past. Humble bragging.

Hey someone take this comment down, we need to pretend it's his first time grabbing a pen and magically becoming an art guru of enlightment! Braindead people reign supreme even inside the art community as usual. Have any other person make this subject video as Pewds did, one for one, same title same subject same execution and nobody would even dart an eye. It would be like 2k views at best. People are riding off his fame which is why suddenly every artist milk the fuck out of his "artistic journey"

@@cloudshifter lol. in the middle of fighting a migraine and I was extremely confused by your sarcasm. XD

​@cloudshifter Well, yeah, obviously it wouldn't get as many views. So what? You hatin' hard. 💀

tbh I think this is a bit of a copium. Like yeah, maybe it is down to just having more life experience, but I think folks shouldn't be searching for a way to explain away his progress. It doesn't do the community any good by aiding those fuming over their own experiences and results. It does no good protecting artists with ugly mindsets. Art needs to be approached from a fun direction and miracle improvements should be celebrated, not explained away.

@@TheOnlyBiodude I don't disagree with you, but I'm not sure which you think is copium; my comment or the video's. Because I only basically said that he already has some understanding of the fundamentals of art, and that's what helped him to progress at the rate he did. Art is art whether you're a beginner, a seasoned expert, or a savant. What matters is expressing yourself. If you want to ~grow~ as an artist however--meaning visible, measurable progress--you still need to develop an understanding of the fundamentals like composition and colour theory. A house without a foundation is just a shack, and Felix has a foundation already. I hope that clarifies what I meant. I wasn't in any way trying to "explain away" his progress. His progress is still impressive.

He was THE UKpostsr for years and still sits near the top. You don't survive that long without being able to adapt.

Even if you hate him, you have to admit you don't hit 100 million subscribers without massive effort. He knows how to put in the work when he persues something. I am glad he has the money and free time to pursue self enrichment, like so many are unable to pursue.

That's because image compositing, is fundamentally different from drawing. In compositing you take pre-existing images and combine them together to create something, whereas in drawing you create the image from scratch. I know, because I do both.

@@user-yi3wt7ve6hAbsolutely! I didn't mean for it to sound like his image compositing skills would completely translate into drawing skills, but rather that he would've built some intuition with it. Regardless of which art form one engages with, it will end up expanding your artistic sense and personal taste. In particular, I found his sense of colour to be above that of a beginner. People who are experienced image compositors tend to be quite adept at light and colour theory (even if they might not be able to draw/paint it). But, for him to not knowledge his artistic capabilities, regardless of discipline, felt to me as if he was being a bit too hard on himself.

@@Morecado this is true. Regardless of the visual art medium colors, lighting, and composition are important to produce a good looking piece so it’s reasonable that what skills he picked up in those areas while compositing can help him while learning to draw.

Yall stop forgetting the “dont compare yourself” advice!!

I definitely agree! Pewdiepie is very impressive and he does give me motivation to draw! Also, apologies for the unrelated question, but, is that Breakdown in your profile picture? Again, I’m sorry if I’ve been mistaken.

@@Veriaaaxd yes, I can also Agree it also motivates Other new beginners to draw and learn more! Also yes it is breakdown with a flower crown on his head because he is Sweet Boi :D

​@@LadyMajolish That is correct! Thank you for the reply! It was nice to have such an exchange with you!

he is already rich and retired. he aint gonna do commissions 😂

That's a great idea!

Tracing photos sounds like a great idea actually!

tbh tracing does help to understand anatomy

tracing has been so demonised due to the few bad apples that try and pass it off as their own work. it's actually super valuable when trying to learn and sprinkled in with other practice can seriously help If I'm struggling to get a character looking accurate to the reference, I'll trace just so my hand learns the proportions, and then it's suddenly a lot easier for me to draw said character regardless of angle

@@rainsparks29 Yup! The key is to follow up with freehand immediately, and keep using it as a learning tool.

everyone is so proud of him!!! he did great!

Ha! I remember the first time I drew a perfect hand, I just couldn’t believe it.. then it took me almost 5 years to do one again 😅😅😅

I guess Chess is like art to me: one day, I’m able to beat high-level players, and then I’m back to continuously losing to them the next day.

So much of my history with drawing is just straight up gone. I seriously have nearly nothing left from my earlier *years* with digital art (I started drawing digitally at around age 11-12), save for what little survived here and there by mere chance. It's incredibly sad. And it's all because I was obsessed with keeping the stuff I uploaded online (and elsewhere) "clean" and "new", and never bothered to save anything.

also he was a graphic designer

If I'm gonna feel as if I'm making no progress creating then I would be demotivated because I would feel like I wouldn't improve then it is pointless to create

Which, in and of itself, is a craft. Jealousy is a disease.

​@@sal5811 who is jealous?-

@@batata4427bad drawers who are insecure about their own art

I don't think that's supposed to be a burn though?? It's literally just a statement of fact. Skills and behaviors can be learned.

@@limitbreaker909 I was making a joke that the way he phrased it could be misconstrued as a clever and sly insult, even though it wasn't meant that way.

Exactly, most of the people missed the point that Pewdiepie tried to convey towards us and too focused on his results. Pewdiepie want to tell us to enjoy and have fun while making art and also doing art study based on the references.

Lets be honest, lots of us do have the time, just not motivated

Cepends on the job. When i work 10 hours a day 6 days a week. I dont even have the motivation to turn on my console most of the time even if a game drops that i have been waiting for years.

if u watch the vid he did like maybe 20-30 mins a day

Yeah, when I started drawing a big demotivator was me looking at others drawings and thinking I was horrible which caused me to give up for awhile because I though I would never get better.

yeah its like if your good at csgo and moved to valorant. u still are good just needed time to adapt and learn

uh he said he only got like 20 mins a day cuz of his baby

You have to treat artistic subjects like a 3d model. Angles, tipulation, vertices. Breaking down the shapes is just reducing the polygons of the human form to build it back up again in your own way.

@@RRubicante I see do you have any art youtubers to recommend for someone like me because honestly to sum up my skill right for how I want to draw like sick guilty gear,soulcalibur,granblue fantasy characters I'm at a toddlers level right now like literally just basic shapes

Basic shapes will ultimately help you draw things easier from all kinds of angles. Even pewdiepie in his video noted that whenever he tries a new angle he feels like it turns out worse or so, of course that's just a "have to practice it more". But using basic shapes for that is kind of helpful I'd say

felix is HIM!

as someone who just started drawing his video made me kinda depressed. i know people learn at their own pace but i noticed when i draw I’m just frustrated now after seeing his vid lol. i guess i should just copy references like he does. i never drew when i was younger and my beginning drawings looked like a child did them compared to even his very first doodles. it hurts for sure!

Look, unpopular opinion, this is unrealistic. I've been an artist since before I can remember. I took every art class I could in every level of school I could. I was in extra curricular clubs activities etc. Etc. I've been paid for pieces, I've made tattoos for people, I've had my work published, and hung in galleries. Blah blah blah. I have been recognized, from a very young age as having natural talent. I say this, to try to provide some background for my following statement. I am an DEFINENTLY nowhere near the best artist I know. I've seen people half my age or more that I just straight accept are better than me, and that's okay. Coming from someone that received accolades and awards etc at like 10 years old for my skill in drawing, and a lifetime of just still drawing because I like doing it. Using references is not a new idea, I rarely draw without such, more power to those that don't require them. Focusing and having some sort of path to guide and make efficient the journey, is nothing new. If literally everything stated in his videos and this one is 100% true, kudos! Good for him. He must have a large degree of natural talent. But don't expect his results. They aren't normal. You don't just spend 10 plus minutes a day drawing and see that level of progress. I don't know, or really care, whether it's valid, or sus. But it simply isn't a bit of practice everyday lead forl100 s to that degree of increase in skill. Maybe being one of the biggest UKpostsr is a factor, in various ways, (money and time, but just doesn't) whatever. More proper to him. realistically occur.

i don't know if this will make you feel better or not, but he's not exactly starting from scratch. he may be a noob at drawing but not at art, he is by all intents and purposes a graphic desingner, before his channel started making money he won prizes and sold his photoshop art -he even has a deviantart- so he has an eye for it, specially colour wich is why he transitioned to markers so easily.
