  1. Yeah, I totally noticed that thing about watching tutorials… I don't practice everyday cause I'm having my final exams and I'm quite desperate to finish college xD but I do watch many tutorials, and I noticed that my improvement every drawing is crazy… like… even I'm impressed to improve that much without practicing as much as I should… watching tutorials is really important, I remember when I was 14 and starting to learn how to draw from 0, my improvement wasn't as good cause I only drew from memory and tried to find out about things… It's much faster to learn things that other people already found out and just apply it. It's great that you said it, cause I felt weird ahah I think it's really important, I've tried to teach that to my cousin, but she still doesn't want to watch tutorials xD oh well

  3. Brilliant advice. I've learning to do many of these but the one about leaving a project for a while… I felt like that was me not finishing the job. I keep moving from one project to another without finishing it but now I've decided to start finishing them off. Maybe that's what was meant anyway.

  5. i liked drawing but i stopped because my dad was an ass.he once saw me draw and told me that drawing was for kids and a waste of time and money.i lost my childhood talent of drawing(cant draw anymore).how can i get my groove back?i don't drink or smoke.

  8. uhh really weird but i'm 28:22 into this talk and he just contradicted himself
    Previously he said "take criticism, its what truly cuts down to basics in order to rebuild greater, more honed skills" then nek minnet says "don't listen to what other people have to say, create what you love" but then again, i haven't ever been called out for being stuck drawing one thing in particular. That'd cut me down lmao

  9. I draw/paint mostly with watercolor. and that have a pain and regret to it since I can't "undo" if I'm unsatisfied with a line or shade. good paper is kinda experience and sheap paper is often thin and bad, (great if you are a pro already) but not for a rookie. point being "just draw a line" have some extra pain to it, more reason to procrastinate. and a tip is also to draw stuff you don't want to draw, that can teach something new that you otherwise wouldn't encounter.

  13. Thank you, I am a "traditional" painter and not really interested in digital artwork, but your video cuts across all mediums and genres. Actually, I am now invested to check it out as I was so impressed by your talk. Maybe digital artist are real artists (joking)

  23. most of what you say is right but volume should only be practice not a finished article being a perfectionist not only pleases the viewer but also gives comfort to the artist that painted it.i did volume work and wasnt happy with the results most of which i painted over.if you want to do volume then do it on sketch books or spare canvas as practice but never compromise your great work its not just to sell its for peace of mind for the artist.i dont paint average i paint great.i have heard this from a few artists but as an artist doing a good job is better than a half arsed.this is the 21st century the market is saturated with artists doing average work if you want to stand out always think the next work you do is the best in the world and do each piece of work that takes you out of your comfort zone thats how you progress.also practice really does yield perfection i hit a wall in my work a few years back so i practiced new things over and over again now my work is at another level because of it maybe he is just talking about digital because being an oil painter is more expensive because of canvas paint and brushes

  25. thank youu. this is a really great seminar. i enjoy every second of it. really great advice, i really appreciate it! Mr Andrew Price yes?, i will search for your other seminar on youtube. hopelly i can find something 😀

  26. Hello! I was wondering if it was okay with you guys if I could download the video to show a group of friends who are not on the country. Apparently, the video can't be seen if you're out of America, so there's that. Great video!

  32. Why does it seem like a lot of male artists only draw the stuff they're attracted to, aka usually very feminine women? Like, isn't it tiring when even your creative work is controlled by your dick? Maybe they are a minority but if so they're a really visible one.

  39. These are the kind of presentations we needed back in school and college, whether you're an artist or not. Motivational talks to help students not turn on themselves in doubt and stress and to let aspiring kids know that they need to keep going and working on what they love and to not give up.

  45. Anyone know of any scientific reference/book regarding the time vs. learning-diagram at about 8:30? He mentions that after 60% time spent you have accomplished 90% of the learning – which means that you'll only learn 10% the last 40% of the time. I find it really interesting and have been working on a similar diagram/calculation of time vs. learning. Been playing music all my life, and can really relate to it. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks 🙂

  46. I agree with volume, because when I see my works, not all are really good, so some are, so I get that point. But with the first one, I agree partially. I agree that you have to work every day, but not doing for long periods of time the same thing. I mean, if you draw and paint, you should draw for some months, then paint for some months. Why? Well, ate least for me and other people I have known, when you give time to your brain to absorb what you have learn, time to process it, when you come back to do it again after a few months, that´s when I have seen real changes, important ones, that´s when I have seen evolution. I know people who work every day in the same, and you see them repeating themselves. Yes, technically they are really good, but art is more than being good technically, it requires to mix Technic with ideas, and ideas require time, and what you do requires time to change. For me at least, that works really well.
