I like how he makes the videos not like a boring college lecture and makes it more fun and entertaining.

Speaking as a complete beginner this video has been super helpful in giving me a framework and breaking it into small manageable parts. Thanks for making such a helpful guide!

This man is single handedly carrying my art journey 😭❤❤❤❤

Why does drawing feel like a game except it never ends

The fact that he didn't only make an entire roadmap, but also his tutorial playlist, is in order of learning. Rather tham by date, shows the dedication this man has! I am arguably Ok at drawig, but I really wanted to put my shit together and actually git gud. And since I'd really like to make character design and animations on my free time, these videos will become astonishingly useful! This platform needs more content creators of this quality. Keep up the good work 👏

Remember, REMEMBER, to break rules? you must first learn the rules.

Truly, if you have decided to grow your art skills through watching tutorials. Then you are on a good path. I can't stress the amount of time I wasted aimlessly doodling to no avail. I finally decided to look up practices such drawing boxes and then moving to gesture drawing and it really did wonders on my progress. I can say that I strongly grew from stage 1 to 5 within a month of giving myself 2-3 hours of practice a day. While he does provide stages to skills, I would like to stress that touching into higher stages may help with the growth of your current goals. Don't limit yourself, making mistakes paves the way for success and no one can judge you for wanting to improve.

This is the the most organized practical guide I have ever seen that fits my learning/drawing style. Video nicely made! Keep making more. Love his sense of humor lol looking at my art... I can tell what steps I've avoided. It does effect my final drawings... I should be braver and attack those steps.

Gotta say this is exactly what I needed rn to understand where my skills are and how I can improve them. I’ve been watching some tutorials and all but haven’t had much progress. Great video dude, I’m just happy that yt recommended it to me.

Not only is the content top notch, but your production values are stellar! This is a fantastic video, so well done. Thanks a million!

I'm going to be honest, I've been searching the drawing basics for a relatively long time, and I have to say this is the most concise, informative, and helpful 0 to 100 guide video I've seen. Anyone that is starting their drawing journey should definitely watch this video, absolutely amazing !!!

Man I have been drawing anime for around five years but never I paid attention to this much detail You truly are a legend You have my upmost respect as a artist

Your channel is the definition of peak. Your tutorials are amazing, with you conveying information in a way that is easy to digest, easy to follow, and I always feel like I actually accomplished something at the end of each video. Plus, I appreciate the jokes you incorporate, they always come at a very unexpected time and manage to catch me off guard. Well done, we need more creators like you!

thank you for putting so much time and effort into these videos. they have helped me to gain confidence and improve my art skills better than other tutorials I have watched.

Thank you for the amazing video! Here are some notes I added while watching this. Art Fundamentals: - Simple/Basics - 1. 2:14 Linework: Use DrawABox to learn this. 2. 3:23 Shape Language (Shape Design): taco1704's books or socials for character ref. & "Manga Materials" 3. 4:16 Forms (3D shapes): Use DrawABox to learn this. 4. 5:35 Anatomy (Put forms together in a precise construction): taco1704's books or socials for character ref. & "Manga Materials" 5. 7:03 Perspective (Forms from different points of view & Vaninshing points): Use DrawABox to learn this or Book: "How to Draw" By Scott Robertson 6. 8:58 Gesture (Dynamics): For characters use any "figure drawing" reference resource i.e: LineOfAction, PoseManiacs, Proko on YT, etc. - Advanced - 7. 11:26 Perspective: has different ranges of difficulty; you will notice this with 3+ point-perspective and rotating cubes in space. 8. 12:22 Shape Language: Creating and modifying shapes by "Extruding, carving, or intersecting." YTber ModernDayJames' perspective series goes in-depth with this topic. Also, introduce creating organic shapes into this practice. 9. 13:39 Anatomy(face/head): At an advanced level, you should target each fundamental to specific things you wish to add to your mental visual library. I recommend taco1704, MangaMaterials, & Andrew Loomis to learn how to draw heads. 10. 14:40 Shading/Lighting: Here, you learn about how light interacts with the planes on different Forms. This video showcases the "Asaro Head," which we use to simplify the planes of the face. You'll want to study Values by similarly simplifying forms into flat planes and then making them organic once you understand lighting & shading from the direction of light. 11. Composition: How a creative work is structured in order to communicate an intent to the consumer. This can be seen in almost all artistic mediums, and it is a key step in pre-planning an art piece that brings satisfaction. Study industry Professionals, respected classical art masters, & your favorite advanced artists as well. 12. Rendering & Shading: This is where we establish a step-by-step on how we layer our colors, shading, and linework to bring a certain style or interpretation to a piece. It heavily relies on a deep understanding of Values & Forms. Other fundamentals also apply, such as Anatomy, Composition, & Perspective. 13. FUN: This is a fundamental you'll want to apply throughout your entire journey. A lot of these topics can be difficult and frustrating at times, but if you keep an eye on how much fun you're having messing around, Experimenting, and even making horrible pieces of art, you'll be able to mitigate a lot of that frustration into Fun. Note: Please remember to enjoy doing your art, be silly and loose where you can; and let yourself explore the possibilities. Don't just do studies or practices. Try to get out of your comfort zone or what you've consumed. Mix, match, copy, it is all allowed. Don't let others rope you into thinking you can't copy or trace for learning purposes. And please, please, please... ALWAYS USE REFERENCE. any kind of reference, even if it doesn't match what you're doing 1-to-1. God bless you all and good luck on your artistic journey!

I remember when my drawings look so basic, arms were just rectangles and legs never look realistic enough, after I found your channel, now they look more better Thanks again for this amazing tutorial, I will continue supporting this channel to the end of time

Thank you for your wording! I've been trying for years to just understand what I didn't understand and now I feel like I have a good jumping off point to finally dive into this skill.

Finally, a good road map so I'm not trying to do advanced perspective when I should still be practicing line work. Thank you so much for this video. My practice shall begin!

He wanted to make an Art tutorial, but he created a masterpiece of a movie!

I love this video so much because it gives me a layout of what I need to focus on and how intense or basic it needs to be. At least through examples. I haven't really drawn in a few years, and I really feel like this will help me not only get back into it, but also improve much more than I did with basic art classes in school

this made me really realize I gotta slow down and truly practice. I just usually jump right in and blindly sketch until I get better but more recently I've wanted to mostly work on detail (clothing, facial expressions, maybe work on my dynamic poses more) this is such a great guide to follow!

“Pressure is absolute poison to your creativity “ I needed to hear that thanks man

This is brilliant, Sir. I like how you didn't just pile up the skills one after the other but also provided the REASONING behind each (what in French we call "argumentaire") and why it's there rather than elsewhere. That's brilliant. I'd like to see your long video on composition, that's a topic i can never tire of. You're putting an amazing volume of knowledge on here. Thank you very much for the hard work.

I'm honestly super AMAZED by how well this video was edited, animated, scripted and detailed. I really appreciate all your hard work you put into this video. It's absolutely amazing, i don't even know how i didn't watch this video before now, you're super underrated. Tysm and I hope you the best❤

the level of effort you put in every video is unbelievable. the fact that all these videos are completely free of cost is insane to me. thank you. i don't know where id be without them!

This was honestly the best art tutorial I've ever watched, and I have a BIG playlist of this kind of video. I'm someone who often needs structure and specific order to learn things, so this helps a ton in telling me what to focus on when and how much. Thank you for your fantastic work as always, don't know where I'd be without you 🙏💛

Thanks you for your your help and support to all of the beginners in art, I’ve been drawing since a baby and have always had a passion for drawing, even won a few competitions, but I love watching each of your videos because no matter how good or bad you think you are, you always learn something if you make an effort of it. Art is a never ending journey for us all and each and every journey is unique. Once again, thanks you Marcel, from both the beginners and the experienced artists. 🧑🏻‍🎨🙌🏻

you are such a huge inspiration to me and my art journey, I am 15 years old and I've been following you for so long and you have helped me get to the point where I can challenge even professionals so thank you

I’m a 10 year old artist that has been drawing since she was 2 and this helped me leaned everything in a hour cuz this was like a little help so don’t expect to immediately become a pro it takes years of practice

Sir, always drops that one video I'm searching for at the moment. You truly understand your students, Sir.

We're drawing like Chads rn 💪😎 Edit: Wow thanks for the likes everyone We are indeed drawing like sirs And chads 💪😎

thanks so much man. this guy spends so much of his time just teaching all of us how to draw.

I watch so many art videos but yours always bring me so much joy! You’ve got a great personality and always help me so much! Thanks❤️

Bro you are so amazing. The fact that you make, edit and animate these videos all by yourself truly inspires me, let alone the art you draw.

thank you for explaining how art works to all of us gamers with a skill tree

The way you break this whole journey into different skill sets ..bro you're super duper amazing . I LOVED IT . THANK YOU SO MUCH.

Thank you DLAS for this extremely good quality video. Thanks to this video I was able to better understand where I was and what I should learn and improve later in my illustrations. It's been 1 year since I subscribed to your channel and it has allowed me to really progress and I'm very grateful to you. In any cases, thank you very much for all helping us to one day be able to draw like a sir.

Man, 25 minutes video how hard you must have worked. Really grateful for this✌🏻

I don’t know if you’ll ever see this but thank you. I was inspired by someone to learn how to draw and seeing the amount of tutorials on your channel is really helping. They are very fun to watch for someone with adhd and I really appreciate the amount of effort that is put into them!!

Instructions unclear, I got rejected from art school and became a dictator

perfect video imo, every person who is interested in drawing should see it. you explained it literally from 0 to 100 and exactly where to start and which way to go. really motivating once you know where to start

Used to watch your videos some time ago when I tried to learn drawing. Because of my laziness and not full awareness of what to do next I just stopped. But this video was extremely great, enough material and knowledge to make a pretty good book on this topic, encouraged me to give it second shot and start to practise some time everyday! Thanks a lot, Marcel!

thanks so much for such an organised roadmap! this has been a great help. not knowing where to start has been why I put off learning to draw for so long

I have seen hundredds of tutorial in my art journey. Especially/spoecifically ones like these that claim to give an outline of how to learn how to draw. But for the first time, I can confidently say that THIS right here, is THE. ONE. TRUE. ART GUIDE! I drew a lot as a kid, but stoped drawing in my teen years. Trying t pick back up this hobby as an adult has been frustrating because I simply had no idea where to start. Watching this was like being enlightened. I traveled back in time and saw my child self learning these skills from simple clean lines, to basic shapes, and even "3D Vision". I remember temporarily picking up art again as a teen, and learning simple anatomy, then dropping it again lol. This video resonated with me immensely, as I literally watched my art journey explained in detail, and now, I know where to move forward. I feel like the path that was once blurred and complex, has been simplified and defined for me, and for that I'm am eternally grateful. Awesome Video! Awesome KZfaqr! Awesome Artist. From a Novice, Thanks!!! :)

Every time i watch a video of yours i love how well done and produced it is!Not to mention how helpful they are. Keep up the great work!

Wow! I have tried on and off to learn drawing for a while now, but for a person like me it's been difficult mainly due to a lack of concrete way to measure my skill level. Now that there's a sort of "skill tree" where l can take steps, l think l might finally see myself improve! Thank you!

Mastery by Robert Greene is a great complement to these videos. Many of the points Marcel talks about are highlighted and elaborated on by Greene with historical examples of strategies and keys to mastery Leonardo maybe being the most relatable. I’m super impressed by the quality of these all Marcel’s videos and super grateful 💎🤝

can we just thank this guy for working so hard for a 900k subscriber channel, absolutely amazing work man.

Every time you post a video I learn something new that can be used toward my drawings. Every time I watch a video of yours I get inspired. Every time, I get reminded that drawing well does not happen within a second. And every time you show that drawing is a journey that is fun and exciting! I love how your such a great teacher. You communicate about how to draw so well! I am sure you put ALOT of time and effort into each video to make it something different and informal to help all other artists! ❤ Keep up the awesome work!!!❤

Just throwing a random comment because I appreciate the effort you put on these videos. Love your work, Marcel!

I kiss your heart bruder! I cant belive just how far you've gotten, I first found you back many years ago when you only had a german channel with like 20k subs. and look at where you are now, grown to be such a nice sir.

Vielen Dank, Marcel! Excellent video and very helpful. I'm in my 40s and learning to draw (in a serious, structured manner) for the first time. I'm taking some online courses and spending a lot of time watching KZfaq videos on the subject, but this is a really helpful guide to focusing our efforts. Thank you for spending so much time on this, great work. I will take your advice to heart!

you are literally the best youtuber, first I watched other youtubers but didn't understood a thing but when I found u I thought that this is it. You're very funny and relatable too. Thanks for making these videos and putting so much efforts and thanks for being on this platform 🙂

So... From today onwards you're my officially art teacher. Bless me sir 🛐🛐

I know im late, but you good sir have earned my sub. You are helping me piece by piece learn how to draw better and I appreciate all your hard work.

I've been looking for guides on what should I start learning first in drawing and of all the videos, articles and blogs I've seen, this video is by far the best and most comprehensive. It gave me an insight on what skill/s I lacked and what skills I should learn first. You provide explanation on why certain skills must be learned first and foremost before learning other skills. It provide me with a clearer, more practical and logical path in order to learn. I've been drawing for years and There was a point where I don't seem to be improving despite following a lot of art tutorials. Your videos are always beginner-friendly, thorough and fun to watch. They are such a big help in my art-learning journey. You Sir are my hero.

omg!one of the best video on the entire internet. The way you explained, the hardwork you put to make this video, you are truely a SIR. thank you very much

This was extremely helpful! I just started my drawing journey last week and I was able to get an idea where to start and how to progress. Thank you!😁

I've improved so much thanks to you. I'm so glad I found you. You deserve way more hype

I love your videos they helped so much. I started drawing seriously because of your videos. Thank you

thank you so much ive been waching you for a day and my art is already geting beter

This video was so helpful! Building a visual “talent tree” clicked with me and helped give a clear vision of where to place my efforts as a complete beginner! Thank you for your time and effort in producing quality tutorials/education!

man after hearing that final "tip" i feel inspired to draw something thank you...

Perfect this is the kind of video I was looking for. Always appreciate the work that you do.

I LOVE the idea of this video! I draw my whole life and this helps me understand and organize the fundamentals to make sure I don’t skip anything on my way to become the greatest artist I can be!

Wow, das war wahrscheinlich einer der besten totorials die ich jemals angeschaut habe! Vorallem wie du es auf aufgeteilt hast fand ich super da ich z.b den Fehler gemacht habe direkt wie ein Profi zu zeichnen. Vielen Dank! Du verdienst viel mehr Aufmerksamkeit!!

I honestly have no idea how to express how much I am grateful for this😭

Thank you for this video i have always had a hard time starting out but just getting to know my level and drawing some simple shapes is really helpful

Bro that little change in that was sick 20:56

i just want to say you are an AMAZING content creator. omg! i trully appreciate this series

I can’t explain to you how much this videos helped me. Less then a year ago I was crying over my broken and messed up drawings. But now I have the confidence to continue Thx a lot man I’m thinking of making some pics to send you on ig. So u can see the impact you have :D

I have two more tips as of someone who went to art uni and is interested in making manga: 1. The last point about observation is insanely important. The first uni semester they had us take a course on it. It was called "visual structures" where they basically teach you basic and more advanced spacial/value/ color conections between structures and seeing certain patterns. And aslo what they mean and convey, it's insanely important to remember that how you compose elements on paper also gives them meaning and tells the viewer what they should feel looking at it. 2. The next thing is for manga creation not only art skills are needed. We had a film directing course just to know how to storyboard/make comic because comic uses film making theiry a lot. Some of the things it uses are technical so like how to choose a frame, how to compose your story, how to use light and shadow or the 180° rule. But there are also other that are more connected to visial communication so knowing what composition, perspective and movement convey, it's tied to what I was talking about in the 1st point. Combination of your art skills and the movie making theory will result in your manga/comic looking very cinematic and being easier to read for the viewer. Manga making journey is very complex but it makes it so much more interesting. Don't get overwhelmed and try to improve little by little everyday. Remember we learn our whole lifes and that journey is supposed to be fun. Hope I helped out a bit.

This is a nice way to frame the gradual build-up of skills. I especially like the separation of "Basic" and "Advanced" anatomy and shading as topics. Part of what stopped me from drawing was how daunting the idea was of plunging headlong into memorizing every muscle group and bone's name. This feels like it would make that task more approachable.

*Most Important Drawing Skills:* Linework: 1:54 Shape Design: 2:03 3D Vision: 4:15 Anatomy Proportions: 5:37 Perspective: 7:02 Dynamics: 8:50 *Advanced Drawing Skills:* Advanced Perspective: 11:23 Advanced Shape Design: 12:22 Face Anatomy: 13:38 Shading: 14:40 Advanced Anatomy: 15:21 Advanced Shading: 16:46 Rendering: 17:08 Composition: 17:34 *Secret Skill:* Secret Skill: 21:18 Hope this helps!

I’m still on the “basic shapes” level in my art journey, but these tutorials have been the biggest help!

i learn from him so many thing thx to him i can draw alot of thing's even other kids ask me how i draw so fast and i always recommend them to watch his videos from him to learn thank you so much for learning me this

as usual these videos are a big help towards my art journey

Hi Marcel! Just a quick note to say thank you for your excellent tutorials! As a child of German immigrants in Canada, I've been cry-laughing throughout your tutorials while learning. To that end, I bought the kindle version of Zeichnen like a Sir. Between my prior anatomy education and my roots, I will do just fine with your book being in your most comfortable language.... DEUTSCH!

thank you for the tutorial, I am very grateful to you because this is very useful for me as someone who wants to learn to draw and I hope this content is also useful for other people. Thank you again.

Thank you so much. I’m trying to learn art and your videos are so helpful.

:00000 DLAS YOUR CHANNEL HAS GROWN SO MUCH! MI SO PROUD OF U :> It was u who got me fully into drawing. Without you, I would prob left because no tutorials were helping and I couldn't get anything down now thanks to you Im better!💗

His editing just keep get more insane 🔥

thanks a lot man, this is the absolute, most important video for anyone trying to learn art

DUDE LOVE THESE VIDEOS!!! YOU TOOK ME FROM A LITERAL NOOB TO AN ACTUAL MEH PERSON AT DRAWING!!

I wish there was like 30 minute videos or longer, on each step. I like my hand held.

Usually with roadmaps like this, it's hard to follow. But you Sir, made an exception. You even give tips to see whether or not we possess the skill yet. So I'll be sure to follow every step very carefully (for my goal of drawing anime/manga). Your effort will not go to waste and any time I see people asking for art advice, I'll share this video with them. That's a promise.. like a Sir.

this is the best video, and the most helpful. thank you so so much! it’s so incredibly organized and explanatory, i will definitely use it. i can’t put into words how grateful i am for this video as i was literally having no idea what to start with and what to practice with and this is just incredible. thank u so so much!!

Thank you so mucj 😊😊😊. This is the best roadmap i have seen for drawing. It really helped a lot.

Damn. This is one incredible video. Thank you, I have nieces and nephews who want to learn to draw and this is exactly what they need to see!

Let's keep going and make my mom proud. Her daughter is a skilled painter 👩‍🎨❤️

you’re a great painter man and this video helped me a lot thank you so much!! ☺️

Thank you Marion for yet another amazing tutorial. They always make my day.

For landscape/environment artists, the "Anatomy" skills could be swapped out for reference drawing. The goal of this would be to increase your visual library as an artist, getting progressively more advanced with each skill. The simple anatomy equivalent; an opportunity to practice basic thumbnail sketching. The advanced anatomy equivalent; an opportunity learn how to render objects with specific materials. The middle stage would be somewhere in between these.

Yours videos are really captivating and helpful, I started improving my drawing may be little bit but still I am improving, Thank you soo much 💕❤️. Btw I like your way of editing too

I'm a soon to be 13 year old,and I'm trying to learn how to draw,and dlas is really helping me out. Thanks again for teaching us how to draw. NOW GIVE ME BACK THAT REMOTE GODDAMNIT!!!🤬

2023 was supposed to be the year when I learned how to draw, despite having the tools and ressources I just had TOO MUCH resources to know where to begin. Someone recommended me your video yesterday and now I have a way more streamlined progression on how to learn to learn how to draw but also on how to learn to learn, literally. Thank you sir, i'll throughouly check your channel and establish a playlist on every skill progressively!

This video literally made me improve my drawing a lot
