I don't like that advice because "art is a hobby" sounds so limiting. Sometimes you draw for money, sometimes you aren't being paid but are making a gift and want to make it match someone else's tastes. Like if you're only doing it for yourself, as a hobby, then that's great but I find art for other people fun too Edit to add: art doesn't need to be fun either. Sometimes it can be painful but cathartic and sometimes you spend several hours feeling frustrated because you can't get that one bit to look right but it was so satisfying to finish and now you've got a new skill

That being said, i think a lot of people pursuing art can get caught up in the "learning" loop and not the more beneficial practice loop. Unprofessional, hobbyist art creator advice: i found an old art book while thrifting one day, and have been attempting to study just from that book because i was so enamored by the artists style. This has helped me feel motivated to sketch and paint again, but your results may vary. Happy creating friends!

This might come off as a rant, but i thought itd be best to be honest here. Anyway this is my experience: Saying "Get better by drawing everyday" is the artists equivalent of "If you want to find the right person to date, just be yourself." It just comes off as something said to get the person asking off the artists back, and the advise is so nebulous that its next to useless. Some people genuinely give good advise, but not alot of them do. And thats because some people have been drawing for years and even draw as a career. So its been years since many of these artists started from the bottom to get to where they are, which would make them even more reluctant to give sound advice. A lot of the advice i see here on KZitem take very little regard as of the learners skill level and provides lottle context. It makes it it that much harder to newbies to learn. I drew for years until i stopped and life got in the way, and when i had free time, I took to writing instead, since i wanted to make my own comic. Ive wrote for so long that im rusty, and i eventually started trying to reteach myself. When i ran into a video that said that drawing every day would improve my art, i was disheartened; i work as a security officer. I work double shifts back to back and most times i get very little sleep. How am i supposed to draw everyday with a life that hectic 😂

the thing with advice is that, ultimately, it is not universally applicable or appropriate in every situation. you are right that some artists will throw out very broad and non-specific advice if they are incapable (or unwilling) of conveying what a person should do to get from step A to B. HOWEVER, the advice to remain consistent is not useless, just circumstantial. top example off the top of my head is pewdiepie. he had people pissed a few months ago because he made one drawing every day and got better results over time. however, he was able to do that because he had the right circumstances to try and see if that advice would help him. there is an audience for certain suggestions--what matters is discerning if that audience is you.

"Never use black" obviously conflicts with a lot of art practice. Anders Zorn e.g. created the Zorn palette which just uses Cadmium Red Yellow Ochre, Titanium White and Black with a slight blueish tint to substitute a blue. Dont' use black is a good advice for watercolor. You should learn how to mix colors both in the sense of hitting the right hue, but also with mixing paint consistencies/concentrations for your value. And then apply them light to dark in layers. Using black can be helpful later on, but it sets you back in your watercolor journey if you use it too early. Make your own black out of yellow, red and blue.

I was humiliated. Ever since that day my heart started to bottle up hate, but I’m thinking of making good use of it.

May I share a perspective? When a teacher sais you're leaning too heavy into your style, what he really wants to tell you is, that he can't teach you. Imagine you want to draw manga style drawings. Imagine you'd ask a professor of fine arts in Florence who specializes on the sfumato technique. He can't teach you sfumato because the technique is useless to you. He can be blunt and tell you that he can't teach you, sure. But how would you understand the message? It can go many extreme ways. Either you go full defense and hate the professors guts for his audacity. Or you implode and turn your back on art because you think you are just unworthy. Or you begin to interpret and try to convince the professor, making him super uncomfortable. Or you ... You see, telling you that you lean into your style is acknowledging what you can do in the hope that you will head on that path, without at the same chipping his own armor making him see that there are worlds where he him self is a novice. Or in other words: There are no perfect words for any kind of rejection. If there were ever to be a next time for you, maybe first figure out if your teacher has something you need to learn from.

as someone who has passed my beginner-artist stage. here's my REAL advice no bs. 1) don't start art tools collection, it'll lead to nothing but money wastage. just buy ONE good quality pencil/tool. after you got good, you can start experimenting with other tools. 2) use reference, a lot. don't be ashamed of having to use reference. i have a friend that started drawing months before me and he always make fun of me for using one. now i'm way ahead of him improvement wise meanwhile he still draws awkwardly squished face. 3) watch other artists draw. you will learn a lot such as grips, strokes, tools used, paper gsm, technique, etc. make sure to apply what you learned to your art, and see if it works. 4) use guidelines, almost the same as advice 2). don't be ashamed. 5) BUILD LINE CONFIDENCE! DON'T CHICKEN SCRATCH. practice one long stroke instead of a multiple short ones. chicken scratching will destroy your brain and muscle memory. preventing you from building good line confidence. 6) don't be precious with your sketchbook. trust me, that big sketchbook you buy is just one in hundreds of your other sketchbook in the future. it ain't special. 7) burnout stages are real. and you'll undergo multiple of those especially if you have ADHD like me. if you're facing one right now, step away and learn to draw other things, so that when you come back to drawing your favourite piece, you are now equipped with new skills of drawing other things. 8) tweak and change other artist's tutorial to your comfort/liking/understanding. like me, i changed the loomis method to my own style yet it works the same. 9) learn to draw one same shape in various different angles. trust me this will help you draw in 3D A LOT. 10) lastly, ask yourself, are you ready to dive into the world of art. cause art is a constant-learning hobby. you won't get good at it quick. and once you do, you'll realise the ocean goes deeper. even for a decade long artists. it's a constant learning, trying, failing, success, burnout and repeat, for years and years on end. so yeah, ask yourself this before blindly jumping into art.

i wish i can turn back time bc i took the worst art advice - just draw. well yes, i do art better, but, i took very long just for that. I also don’t usually use reflence, yes it still looks ok most of the time, but once, i use reflence from my cousin and realized it’s better than when i don’t use any reflence, even thru i left that as a wip and never finished it.

i sorta get what people say with the whole don’t use a reference thing, i have a (sorta) friend who draws only images that already exist but her drawings always look wonky and the proportions are off. i do think there is totally nothing wrong with drawing from a reference but it is good to have proper technique and guide lines if you are a beginner or it will probably look slightly deformed.

I think this is what people who give bad art advice do not understand (or get mixed up). Of course like Mohammed said in the video, "How can you draw something if you have no knowledge about it?", which is the reason why we use references. However, these people may see artists who DO NOT use references and they make stunning art, so they assume that the people who uses references are cheating. This isn't the case though. The artists that these "bad art advice givers" see used references as they started to learn art for the first time, and they memorize/learned these references so well that they don't need to use them anymore. In conclusion, making cool art without using any references is cool and neat, but it isn't really how you get there to where you wanna be in art. :3

The funniest comment I once saw someone painted in oils an amazing painting and some salty individual "tried" to give constructive criticism but was more of an insult - looking at the guy who gave the insult art it was the ten a penny generic western digital art that a lot of people do (digital anime artists will get what I mean) and clearly never actually painted with Oil Paints - which he happily pointed out that he didn't need to as he can use a oil paint filter or brush on his digital pad and some how call himself a "Oil Painter" - get the hell out of here 😂

Man, that tired old 'don't use reference' advice must be the most stupid art advice that I've heard in my life! 🙄 Like, as a digital artist who sometimes dabbles in traditional art media (I prefer alcohol markers on that one); how else is your muscle memory ever gonna learn how to draw something properly? I personally have an art style that's a mix of anime and western cartoons, and you've gotta know how something looks irl in order to stylize it properly. I mean, I'm an amateur character designer, and I STILL use reference if I'm designing a new OC! Also, I'm actually staunchly against that 'draw every day' advice, though, and it's partially over the sheer lack of context on that one indeed. I'm autistic, and no joke; I've legit tried that for like a week or two when I was a little younger (I'm 30 years old, and I've probably tried it at age 23 or so). And then I had to spend LITERAL YEARS struggling my way out of a legit creative burnout afterwards! 😵 Looking back, I really regret taking that 'advice' remotely seriously, since I've legit wasted like 2 to 3 years over that BS (maybe even 4 years; I was sadly too busy recovering to actively keep the time). Really, as long as you draw the subjects that interest you on a regular basis, you're making progress towards improvement. Just please keep in mind that we all improve at different speeds while practicing in order to improve. So if you're an artist reading this; self-improvement is good, just please don't repeat the mistakes of my younger self and push yourself to far on that one. Whether you're a neurotypical artist or a neurodivergent one, we've all got our limits. And trust me when I say that creative burnout SUCKS. As Gale puts it in Baldur's Gate 3: it is to be avoided!

Explanation on “don’t use black”!! You can totally use black in your art, but you shouldn’t rely on it as a default to darken your colors when painting. Black is a powerful pigment and it can turn your bright red into a reddish-black VERY quickly. It makes yellow look muddy. USUALLY you want to darken a color with its complimentary color. As a rule, I try to avoid black when I’m mixing my colors unless I want to bring down the color’s chroma or I’m at the very end of mixing the colors and just need it to be a taaaad darker. Or if I want to paint a pure black to offset other colors I’m using. It’s actually very good advice but it’s meant as a color mixing guide for people who aren’t masters at mixing colors yet and not as a general all-of-art rule.

I try to use blues and purples for shading/darkening. Because lighting and shading irl are not pure white nor pure black. Which is why it can look less realistic or harsh to our eyes on some pieces. I try to save pure black or white for extremely contrasted areas. Things like bright shines or deep crevices/folds. Even then you can still tint them slightly into other colors so they can be off white and off black.

I don't know if this is a good thing to do or not but I like using a thin layer of diluted ink on top. When it isn't mixed in and is just a layer it doesn't muddy things as much. I am cheap and find it good since it doesn't involve buying more colours and the ink goes down so slowly that its pretty much infinite

Забавно, но большинство красок, что используют художники вместо черного, замешаны на черном пигменте. Индиго, например. Ван Дик Коричневый. Сепия. Но эти же люди избегают черного. А так-то совет верный: затенять все черным плохая идея, потому что черный делает цветную работу плоской. Опытные художники имеют его в палитре, но стараются его не трогать.

You have a point but it goes both ways I've seen digital artists who only do Anime start lecturing other artist who did anatomical figurative art - he was told it's all wrong and the complaining individual proceeded to "anime" up the art and say this is the correct way? 😂 The Art World is a funny place and loads of misconceptions. I hear it a lot as I use Oil Paints and there are some sectors who do nothing but demonise it as "Dangerous". All art mediums have health risks - digital art will have some eye strain to carpal tunnel syndrome in some 😂.

@@Mark-nh2hs I do think in general art is very gatekeepy. It's weird because at the end of the day IMO as long as you yourself are creating the piece of art it shouldn't matter what you use all digital does is condense the tools of traditional into a program with some exceptions such as transform tools which as far as i know are unique to digital and does help speed up workflow and tends to be more cost effective at least within the developed world. I enjoy both but tend to switch it up when I feel a bit stuck with one. I honestly think I'd be a bit disappointed though if I started with digital and never had my first drawings traditional because it's super cool having a sketchbook of old drawings/doodles you did years back. Digital is harder to learn if you start with traditional because unless you got a screen tablet which even then you still will feel kinda disconnected from your art. Hard to beat that pencil on paper feel and the friction you get traditionally that is hard to get the same sensation on digital and graphic tablets just feel weird if your used to traditional at least while learning em
