Anything is fine, so no worries.

Yay ! But honestly I still enjoy your videos either ways

i started watching your videos for the language learning but i enjoyed this video as much as all of the language ones! great job

@Marcel Marinkovic Ikr such an awesome but sadly underrated channel. Also I hope you will save and be able to buy a tablet to draw on one day you can find good affordable options on amazon . Good luck !

@Marcel Marinkovic All you need is a pencil or a pen to get started with drawing! I bought a 50 dollar tablet, but I've barely used it since I'm still trying to get the fundamentals down through traditional drawing.

LMFAO

He already knows the true meaning of life: to learn, to love and share

@@davirochaaulasonline8224 Deep.

yes

Dude he learned Machinr Learning in 2020 too

Holy shit I wanna do those things too

@@adammasterx5854 yeee same man xD

@KaraDUN I’ve been trying to learn how to draw hands for a while now and for me it’s super hard Beauce I can never get the thumb right

@KaraDUN yea of course when you start drawing it should be fun and not tedious

He's very motivational

@KaraDUN Dont waste your time on drawabox, its worthless. Just copy whatever you like and you will improve way faster. When copying, perspective isnt needed. Of course, if you want to become another Kim Jung Gi, you have to grind it. Every day for 30+ years, then you'll become good at drawing from imagination. Most artists are just fine by copying

​@@user-qh9ou3bp9x i don't know how to tell you this in a straightforward way. but the most improvement i've seen in my art in years is when I'm actually learning how to look at shapes and forms in perspective. copying will not get you that far, unless you plan to do that for years and years and "accidentally" know how to draw. And even then you will heavily have to rely on looking at something you envisioned in your mind in the real world, like a reference. These professional artists very much know how to draw in perspective, and they've done it over and over to the point its become muscle memory. They plot those points in their head. Kim Jung Ji literally teaches perspective, idk where people get the notion he just drew arbitrarily. Without spatial awareness none of them would be able to draw pretty pictures or draw from imagination.

@KaraDUN if you want to become good you need to know 3d shapes and how they behave in space. It's tedious but it will give you an insane improvement in the end. Kim Jung Gi when he draws an head he sees a box, when he draws an arm he sees a cylinder, when he draw a torso he sees a box and so on. Trust me theory is 50% of the process. If you know how to draw a box and a cylinder in perspective you'll know how to draw pretty much the 80% of things with much less effort. You can grind boxes (fundamentals) for some month and it's worth something like 5 year of just drawing without any method. I know it's boring but it's extremely worth it.

@KaraDUN its like trying to learn how to write poetry without learning the alphabet, pointless.

i recently started drawabox, and i LOVE it. I've been trying to learn drawing for about a year now and everything feels so nebulous. 'do studies' 'practice figure drawing' 'grind boxes' it all feels so vague. like i'm supposed to do this thing i'm bad at and eventually i'll git gud magically. But drawabox isn't like that, sure my lines aren't clean but unlike magically understanding anatomy/figures i feel like i can actually feel myself improving at lines. The last line of the page immediately feels cleaner than the first one, these newbie gains will slow down ofcourse but unlike all the other stuff i can actually imagine myself more or less mastering straight lines after a few months. Only at lesson 1, but i'm excited for the 250 boxes challenge.

Dog cute 🥰 개 🐶

Srsly

Dedication

Desire of improvement

Self-discipline

Will see about that haha

Truth is that if you wanna be able to draw your own stuff someday you can't just practice drawing random pictures a few hours everyday and then forget about it. Most worthy artists have spent more than 8 hours every day of studying very specific materials for 3 or 4 years before starting to get good. That means that if you wanna hit that level you have to sacrifice a lot, especially if you are an adult and you have bills to pay. Now if your goal is to be able to draw portraits or copy some anime characters just for fun that's something else. But animation and comics? You simply can't cheat your way through this. Reaching fluency in any language is very doable though.

@@user-us7zt5fz5j I know that I’m gonna have to sacrifice a lot if I start learning how to draw, but since I’m quite young, I would like to fully experience my childhood before I become an adult, because after that, I’m not gonna have as much free time. I’m just kinda scared that even if I started to draw now and get really good at art, it might not pay off.

@@Haeherfeder_ yea, that and also thinking about it for the past few months, I think that I’m just gonna start drawing just for the sake of it, no matter if I “succeed” in the future or not because of it.

@@Livakivi Are you a master now?

You get it. I don't wanna just specialize. I wanna do everything. Its way more fun that way.

As an artist, musician (multi-instrumentalist), comp sci (software and game dev), and many other things I've done in my life, I get it lol. I can't sit still.

Thanks!

That's really awesome!! It's really crazy to think how much of an impact making these videos can have on people, I'm really glad it has inspired you to that extent! Definitely makes making these videos more worth it! I wish you the best!

2 years on, how have things been going for you?

Thanks man!

Also i accidentally commented including " theres no way you grows" and then i immediatly deleted the comment i was so afraid you were going to see it lol

I've actually thought of similar stuff. I think early output being difficult is similar for all, learning a language, drawing, and programming. I remember very well how I, and many others who began with programming thought "I understand the code, but would have never came up with it myself". But when they get more used to coding, it becomes second nature to think of good solutions almost instantly. I think the same goes for drawing, since as a beginner, you still haven't built up your visual library, its not just the mechanical ability preventing you from drawing good, it's about being unable to intuitively visualize things in your head to the extent that you could linearly progress a drawing. All of those things require, in my opinion, mostly input, but I think what sets apart language learning from drawing/programming, is that in drawing/programming, you can learn much more from experimentation and solo practice, while when it comes to languages, you have no choice but to learn from the examples of others, learning/practicing in a vacuum doesn't really work if you have no reference. These are just a few thoughts laid out haphazardly right now, but I might make some video on this topic in the future as well.

So for drawing/programming, output can be the input while for language learning, that isn't very feasible. Maybe because the negative feedback is much more visible and prominent in drawing/programming than in language? In the case of drawing, you can know relatively easily if the piece is bad and which part is bad (weirdly long legs, funny face, bad fur texture etc.). Even if you don't get it at first, it'll be visible if you come back to it after shifting focus to something else for a couple of hours. Same for programming. If your program doesn't start or if it starts too slow, you know something is wrong and you can also use tools like debuggers and logging to know what's wrong and what takes up time. Knowing what's wrong (even vaguely) means you're one step closer to knowing what's 'right', or at least more appropriate. In other words, higher quality input which means more easily recognizable patterns and which in turn means the mind has an easier time building intuition. Language, on the other hand, is so vague that the feedback is very weak and thus we leave it to our brains to figure out the patterns and build up intuition. So what we lack in quality l, we make up for in quantity (lots and lots of immersion). I'm not sure what I'm even saying (some haphazard thoughts like you said) but that's my take on this, I suppose. P.S: In the case of programming, design and algorithm decisions does not have a similar feedback so that is rather hard to improve. Still better than language though.

Thanks! Good luck! :)

Oh you're like the perfect person to ask this to. I REALLY don't want to use an excessive amount of paper for these courses so would it be fine if I used a drawing tablet instead?

@@ayounglad7304 you aren't supposed to but nobody is going to kill you if you do, although you might not be able to get official feedback

Excuse my grammar if it's incorrect, I'm not a native English speaker.

by the way, it'd be very interesting if you do a recap on your progress in the fields you are studiyng in (japanese, machine learning, drawing).

Indeed, going from nothing to something is exponentially fast compared to going from decent to great, as the progress becomes much less visible and obvious!

I don't really follow ajatt in the sense that I only spend ~2 hours on Japanese a day since getting started including immersion, but thanks :)

Wish ya luck dude!

Thanks for letting me know that you'd like to see an update!

For real. The Japanese know their art. I wanted to buy some books to break into some domain-specific drawing. Couldn't find anything decent looking in English. Bought some books in Japanese and am really happy with them (also bonus Japanese practice).

Any examples for a beginner?

Also, you said you wanted to do animation, I'd recommend the animator's survival guide if you don't mind reading, youtube channels Dong chang if you're more experienced, and Toniko Pantoja. The hyuns dojo community can help motivate you too.

@@MrThybomb Thanks for the suggestion!

@@Livakivi Anytime! I'm not sure if you'd be interested in learning 2d animation on paper or digital. Personally I see both have ups and downs but I can ship you some animation paper if you want. Have butt loads that are still in boxes.

@@MrThybomb Its alright for now! I figure that I'll probably do it digitally as its probably faster, and when it comes to independent animation, probably the most important thing is to make it time feasible.

Why though. This looks amazing for a noob like me

I've practiced a decent amount since then, and have hopefully improved to some extent, but I have yet to make a video about it and my pace is rather inconsistent and slow since I have many other things going on as well, but one day! I used Sakura Microns and Faber Castelle fine liners. 0.4 to 0.6 ish.
