I Drew Every Day for 365 Days..... *it was painful*

I drew every day for a year What's the progress was it worth it so this all started as a random idea I wanted to make a progression video and I picked art because I thought it was easy to track like I'll draw for 30 days I can show the first day and then I can compare to the last day that'll be interesting to see did I make progress people were so encouraging on the video and I really enjoyed picking up drawing so I kept going and I did 100 day one and people enjoyed it even more there was no way I was going to stop I had to do at least a year and here we are being here I have so many emotions I am happy all right let's dig into it let's watch sorry my nails this is where it all started 365 days ago day one that a self-portrait what up yes yes man this is nice to watch like okay some are not terrible this gives me this gives me uh confidence here's when I started to look up tutorials and stuff online you think it'd be better but they all kind of look like they have some sort of allergy like they uh they ate a lobster and they have a seafood allergy the chin is very big I probably would have made it something more like wonder if I can fix this I feel bad for Future Past St damn I drew so hard I can't erase damn such a simple ch change and it's already so much better I realize and maybe other people have said this to but drawing is more about training your brain to see rather than actually technical with your hand I think that's a misconception I had but after 30 days this was the progress of my first video I was so happy with it and I think and yeah I think I should be cuz the progress is definitely there so this is my progress after 82 days 84 and I really think here's where I peaked in terms of if you wanted to just improve as much as possible in the shortest time I think just adding colors on papers it's so satisfying to look at that it kind of forgives a lot of the anatomy errors the POR Line work the sketch is still being there like it's just nice to look at regardless but yeah this is the last thing I drew for my 100 day video and yeah it's it's cute I did it I drew something so let's check the progress from there on that's [Music] wrong first of all don't do what I did I just kept drawing the same things anime girl anime girl too much anime just bad bad just bad I was trying to be Technical and like give myself notes so I can improve I wanted to be more consistent I think that's why I kept doing this but if I had to read do it absolutely not this is where I should have moved on to something else I should have just drawn anything else and eventually I did I really wanted to draw more color but it takes so much time to do that and I really felt like I needed mileage more than anything so just adding a little bit of color sure we'll ink it but that's that's the most effort I'm going to get into yeah just sketching random stuff I find online finally finally I move on and I draw boys this is the boys Arc I drew so much uh guys from anime because I thought I drew so many mangas you probably recognize these I think this is jiis kaen I think you know this is a good time for me to address a couple things from my last video and uh one of them is just a huge thanks to other YouTubers that reacted to my video I think that was so cool to see and actually get encouraged by professionals I really really appreciated that another thing was that people said I had an art background that was like a rumor that went around and I guess I take that as compliment but no I do not I I have not started art that was the whole point of this video I was not being disingenuous I have not drawn since I was a kid but I loved doing Photoshop before YouTube I loved photoshopping images uh and creating artworks that way so maybe in a sense that helped but I think the biggest sort of thing that helped is that I'm actually older like I'm 35 now and I think if I did this thing when I was younger I would not have seen the same Improvement but I also think you know the Improvement I had anyone can achieve like I wanted my video to be inspiring for other people to do the same thing like that's my goal like people say anyone can draw and I truly truly believe that oh and by the way I wrote a blog post yes I write blog post now it's just more details about my favorite type of notebooks my favorite kind of pens if I were to do this challenge again what would I do differently how to remain consistent all these sort of stuff if you wanted to do this challenge yourself I recommend checking that out I just didn't want to get too much detail in this video uh but an insecurity of mine was brewing which was I couldn't like if I wanted to draw anime style sorry it's hard to see here you start with a sharkle you draw a middle line you draw where the eyes are going to be you kind of figure out how the chin is going to be the nose the mouth the ear and then you spirling some hair really quick uh this method is so helpful because when you draw it's all about balance like if I drew directly same thing and anything is like out of proportion the whole thing just kind of looks weird so to draw directly it was so difficult so I bought this pen this pen is amazing it's a brush pen and if you squeeze it ink comes out and you can draw really Slim lines or really thick lines really really quickly and I told myself I was going to force myself to use this pen even though it looks like I was going to really like I'm going to use this pen I need to learn how to draw without without the whole circle thing again at least that's what I wanted to do and it took some time it felt like taking a 100 steps back but uh that's how you have to improve you know you have to get out of your comfort zone but I think eventually I started to sort of get the hang of it and you can get kind of really quickly uh satisfying result with the high contrast I really really enjoyed uh so I did did some manga panels and yeah it feels like I'm looking at a manga it's really cool getting more comfortable it's still so hard with proportions man like anything is slightly off it's going to suck so yeah this felt like a little side quest but I'm glad I took it and uh yeah it was really fun but what I should have been doing is draw other things as well I did find it amazing like how I could all of a sudden even though I never practiced drawing a cloud I could draw a cloud better than I ever could so that's cool okay I'm done but I think something finally sparked in me where before I was like okay I just want to draw for the sake of drawing I don't have any interest in anything I started drawing manga panels I started drawing perspective and I wanted to understand these things drawing Landscapes this is nii I love his work so much so finally finally after I don't know 300 days of drawing I picked up an art book I should have done this ages ago so I picked up a couple art books some more technical than others but I really enjoyed this one taco because I enjoyed the style of it obviously everyone has different preferences I think if you were to be a professional artist you probably want to pick like a human anatomy book and really study it but for me it's is supposed to be fun and I think if I am having fun I will remain consistent so at least that's what I was trying to focus on I picked up books about perspective cuz I I want to learn and I want to understand this and I think finally that clicked in me it went from me just wanting to sketch whatever to no I actually want to understand these things so I can draw them better and I wish I did that sooner again this felt like taking so many steps back because I had no clue how to draw a body zero I had not practiced it at all I have sketched so much and I still I it feels embarrassing to admit this but like everyone was so amazed by my 100 one that I felt like okay well my year one has to be really good right like but progress isn't a straight line like I think I was being too hard on myself where I was getting close to a year and I'm like I don't I don't have anything to show for it I H drew a full body one and I'm like comparing it to my 80 day one and I'm like the 80 one it's still better even though this is like full body it's so bad so if you want to improve you have to kind of go through the pain of sucking again I guess guess it's it really felt like oh cool like I drew for this much and all I I don't have anything to show for it I think I wanted to learn to draw and actually understand Anatomy before uh it didn't matter to me it was just a hobby but now I'm like I want to actually know like how do you draw legs how do you draw different Expressions uh how do you draw what is this you've all been waiting for the return of what is it Yu slies back G fuel Energy Formula PewDiePie Yu flavor Japanese lemon delicious is back along with fearfest where you can get ghostfest stab stimulant caramel apple and

check it out link is in the description I I was genuinely panicking like it's so it's been so frustrated this entire month not only because I wanted to show for the video but I I felt genuinely in me like I can do more I know I can do more I know I can do better and I really wanted that to show so I really did push myself a lot towards the end here and that's when I bought an iPad coming in clutch last minute super satisfying to draw with a pen on an iPad but obviously it was way different so again it was like a last minute learning curve of me not understanding the program and yada yada yada so let's go through the last thing I drew which was on the iPad so I started off just sketching and I was still too scared to draw buddies I drew this which I thought was going to be amazing and I ended up really hating it I think the F colors are fun but I didn't know how to draw hair I at least try to draw like a full body but I was so scared of getting it wrong that I think I just made it look weird so I practiced drawing hair but it's just like nothing interesting about it this is just to try it out and then I thought okay I'm going to really wow you guys I started the line work I tried my best to draw the actual hands this is going to be so good and this is the end result and I genuinely hate looking at it I've looked at it so much it just pisses me off even now I don't I don't want even in my head it was going to be so much more you know and then you look at it and you're like oh cool that was it huh I desperately try to draw something else cuz I I don't know like I I felt like I could do more but I kept drawing and I couldn't like it just came out looking weird and unsatisfying this was supposed to be like the most simplest thing ever like black high contrast with some color still I didn't like it and I was getting so close to the deadline I think I have like 20 days left until this video I drew a full body with perspective and uh I thought it came out pretty good I was okay with this one but I still felt like I could do more so I sketched for a couple days and I told myself I'm going to get one last effort I have to really like it to actually sketch it and this is the last thing I drew I finished it yesterday and I think I'm finally happy with it I finally Drew clothes that isn't just black and uh I actually put some more time into the hair and like making the lines look nice and uh small little details and having the high contrast light maybe it's wrong but it's there at least and I think it makes it more interesting you know with some shadows and different poles you know all of it I think I'm uh I'm happy with it I think for a year progress yeah am I allowed to be happy it took a lot of pain to get there you know like uh let's compare day one day 365 I don't know maybe maybe you guys disagree but I feel like I finally beat my 80 day whatever ah this is still better oh I genuinely cannot thank you guys enough for all the love and support in these with making these videos it was such a massive encouragement for me to actually continue doing this I'm the kind of person that love to try different things I try new things all the time and I really enjoy doing that but every once in a while I find something that I really really really love and I will continue doing no matter what and I think art might just be one of those things for me I used to love drawing as a kid and I don't know why I stopped but I'm so happy to be back doing it it feels like I never saw I wanted this whole thing also to be inspiring I I want other people to have this experience as well people say that anyone can draw and I truly believe that and it goes for anything really like it's about practice constant practice no matter what it's not rocket science you put in the word work and you get an result for it hopefully like I said I love to do so many different things usually if I try something people are like oh yeah that's cool well watch me do it 100 times better and it's just kind of like ah yeah I'm just beginner but with the with me drawing it was genuinely just everyone being encouraging and I think that that was just
