How to Self Assess Your Drawing Skills

Bruh I just woke up and I'm 0

I know I'm a solid 0. 😎👉🏻👉🏻

Edit: Nevermind--is there a -1?? 😬😬😬

The level 0 is better than mine 😂😂

I’m going to do it.

...did john singer sargent have to spend all these years learning all this?

Did da vinci? The conceot of school is for the general masses. A good artist should teach him self what is needed for a particular job. Up skill in them and complete the job. And move onto another job. That is the way an artist should be.

Sooo is there a level -1

okay,so i can do the stuff in level one but i cant do the stuff from level 0...

Fucking love this video

nunca en mi vida un video me hizo tiltear tanto

I am 1000 percent level zero but this video inspires me to practice and study more unfortunately I’ve never had access to that education it’s expensive or too far way for my circumstances that’s why I buy second hand books and study on the internet lol

6 months from now I must be at level 1.
(I’m putting this here to hold myself accountable, if u see this and my comment was more than 6 months ago, please reply with something stupid so I remember <3)

Damn

this was... humbling

Thank you so much for making this all the tutorials are too simplified and not technical enough. I'm considering the life draw8ng academy already!

I am what you call a level 0

bt what if im not interested in classical art? what if im interested in abstraction

Can this be done in animal art too? also is there going to animal art videos or no?

Good if you want to produce this kind of art.

this just reminds me how bad i am

the "bad" examples were actually good lmao

Im on 0.0001

I'm currently at level 0, I'm glad I found this video because I started to think of myself as the next Da Vinci.

Art is dead, and we killed it

This is the slap in the face I needed. Thank you

Did you just take 14 minutes to tell me “go to art school”?

One person, john singer sargent ughmmm.

Bro mine art is legit in the negative

In your opinion what drawing art academy course / courses should someone, who has never drawn before, take? Assuming they want to become a professional.

Purtroppo la maggior parte degli insegnanti sono pittori falliti che arrotondano "impartendo"corsi privati

Does someone know what the "contours theory" is? I'm trying to find some documentation but cant find anything...

imagine thinking "academic art" is the most superior art form. There is a reason this style fell out of favor 150 years ago. Academic art is a craft, it's like being good at scales when playing piano, doesn't make you an artist though. Russia is stuck in the past.

Personnaly i have touch a lot of what is depuct on the video but i dont fully masteries it. But i have some goals like how to make an ambiance and how to render like old w&b televisions (like the beauty and the beast by Cocteau)

fun to find out the school system i've been in wasn't structured to help nuture skills but only for me to pass exames... fun.

I found the video very interesting and actually motivational as a hobbyist that only started drawing 2.5 years ago and started to feel stagnant. This information is useful for any artist.

I think this video can be quite misleading. I highly doubt kim jung gi studied all of those 15 principles to get out of level 0, yet we all agree that was a master. I think there is a lot to be said about perfecting fundamentals however i think this is a bit extreme for most people. If you want to be an animator or a concept artist or pretty much anything other than a fine artist in Russia then dont take this video as a complete roadmap. Think of it as a showcase of how deep each subject goes.

helped me alot! trying my best to fit the standard draftsmen ship, since am still 14 rn

Level -1000 (Embryo art school Year 0): how to draw perfect five dimensional hyperrealistic ecorche from imagination

level 12 : kim jung gi level

Bro my level is all over the place

I am so mad at myself for choosing a linguistic highschool instead of an art highschool but its too late to change school now so, thanks to these kinds of videos, I'm still able to improve my art.

I'm level 1 almost 2. Hey, at least it's way better than being level 0 🤭🤣

The principles of art applie pretty much to the principles of life; knowing how to do something is not the same thing as understanding it and knowing how to do something will not allow you to acuratly and skillfully potray and replicate it. Yes, learning one method of drawing a face may teach you to produce an alright peice of art, but understanding the form of the subject will allow you to extend that skill beyond a singular technique.

This is a nice outline to follow for study. Thankyou. I'm at level 0 😊

Art colleges today are a huge waste of time today. Most DO NOT teach much or any of what this video demonstrates.
