i "cancelled" pewdiepie for drawing only anime waifu's (cringe) and not both waifu and husbandos, you cancelled pewdiepie for getting better at art, we are not the same

Funny story… we did this unconsciously in primary school. We’d recreate comic panels n splash pages. Who knew.

Pewdiepie went from the first YouTuber to hit 1M subs (before MrBeast surpassed the numbers) who happened to have a beef with Barrels as his arch-nemesis, to a fast learner who improves his artistry each day. Even if the king puts down his crown, he seems happy on what he's enjoying right now.

Im no professional artist but my top tip is only draw when u feel like it .. i noticed. Once i drew because i was just bored and didnt know what to do, it turned out bad. But then one day i drew because i felt like it and was putting my heart into it. And guess what! I made one of my greatest drawings :)

In his very VERY old early YouTube days he has made a few videos doing photoshop and a tiny bit of digital design. It was known back then with his OG community that he has a nack for art and overall graphic design already l. His prior experience definitely helped with his eye for color and “what looks off” in his drawings. Not that I’m taking away from him, he has significantly shown improvement! But it should be noted that he does have a history for the media.

Never knew that one of the most known gaming YouTubers could become such a good artist in a short time. Thinking about it, I think everyone has this chance. Go and draw, guys!!

Pewdiepie's drawing experience has been fun to see. Going from drawing stick figures to full out colored works is awesome

Tracing actually works well for very early studies if you struggle with stiff hand syndrome, ie: your drawings are to stiff. This can also help with understanding how to draw and how artists actually draw. However, it doesnt replace fundamentals, and loose sketching excercises which help loosen your artwork more. Initially it helps your brain develop nueral pathways of learning how to draw, after that youre supposed to switch to copying. So tracing does help, but its an beginner method and not to reproduce art, like you said. Friends please let us not be cringe, dont copy art; Use tracing as a learning tool only.

I remember back in high school, i would place a picture in front of me of a game illustration and redo it, on paper. It was fun and motivational when it comes to wanting to recreate the art piece, not to claim it ofc just honing one skill.

Here's the thing with fundamentals - not everyone can learn them! Everyone thinks they're the ultimate basics but for someone who is colour blind and has serious problems with depth perception they're absolutely the biggest struggle to even get working regardless no matter how many books, tutorials, art & graphic design classes I've done these two things limit my ablity to replicate these 'basic fundamentals'. Has it stopped me doing art though? No. Not in 30 years of doing it. Sometimes you just have to work with what you have and work around the disadvantages your delt with.

I started by drawing horses and one thing i remember from the book was that it started with a lot of the fundamentals. Like it had me do the shapes then added muscles. The design part was for the mane and extra. It was an odd choice but it made it easier to learn how to draw people. I appreciate the tip about drawing other things first.

I think my biggest issue is not having a clear goal, not having belief in myself and potential on the future, and trying to do everything at once to compensate for the feeling of fomo. I’d probably do a lot better if I had those things and focused on one thing for as you said 3 weeks to a month/ just finish the art course or art book already. Though its hard to accept where you are at and to go back and relearn something you thought you already had a grasp on. I really don’t wanna go back to relearning the torso and pelvis again, but if its required to draw a good body from different angles then fuck me I guess I have to. But first I gotta finish Bryce Kho’s course and by that means I gotta put away all the pdfs, the morpho and taco secret point character book series, and TomfoxDraws book. HAH I have way too much stimuli for a “lost goal.”

Weirdly me seeing his art improve wasn’t crazy. I notice a lot of adult who wants to start drawing later in life are like this. Not cause they older but more so they start with thinking how did this person to get to here. And a they actively have better plan for studying unlike many artist who started it when they were young. Kids start with not much of a plan(not all kids). As a kid it harder to think more structural when it comes to studying. So I get how he figure it out. I enjoy seeing that since it cool to see how someone got something you couldn’t previously.

You need more subscribers. I love your content.

I think partially because Pewdiepie has a hint of natural arty talent within himself too x3 I'm already kinda looking up to him here XD I've been an artist since I was a little kid too. I'll have to get myself a simple little sketch book and do this 100 sketching thing myself and who knows, maybe I'll have my art drive back

I realized this about a week ago but I kept stuggling in proportions and they turned out very poorly and never seemed to look right but I soon then realized I went off doing something that I don't have good knowledge of, soo I keep everything simplified and gather the artstyles that I want to incorporate and that made me felt happy and inspired because from my perspective as a 17 year old artist I want to tell a story while making a character not just designing them and make them exist but to their purpose of why did I make them. also very good motivational video 🥰

Also disagree that Pew had no artistic experience before, he's literally a massive youtuber, you could argue he was an artist in some way for a long time already, by doing creative works, even videos, still trained his artist eye better than you would think.
