Check out 5 MORE tips on better drawings here… http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ctJK1VbH7qQ

These are some of the tips that have helped me to improve my drawings. Always remember, there is not ONE way to draw. These tips are just suggestions to help you refine your work. But there are many ways to get to the same results. And even I don’t always follow these same rules every time. That said, I hope they help!

The types of pens I use in this video:

Sharpie Pen: http://www.sharpie.com/enus/pages/fine-point-pen.aspx

I try really hard, but most of the times my drawings are just so shitastic
that I don’t want to continue

Laura Liddell says:

You don’t need to improve on your tutorial videos at all! You made this a
really fun watch. Don’t change!

Your personality really comes across and it’s lovely. 🙂

Oh, and thanks for the tips! :D

FelineSamantha says:

Seriously, watching you draw with the brush pen was SO hypnotizing! Those
are some GORGEOUS lines!

Ikusaba Mukuro says:

What are your thoughts on digital art? I wanted to buy a tablet and I just
wanted to see what professional/mature artists think about it. 

CozadKid says:

4:11 turn on captions. PS thank you for the tips

Lisa Persson says:

I laughed so much watching this video, your laugh is contagious! 

Cainmak says:

Kinda expected some moral encouragements instead of actual tips 😛 But
damn, that was really useful. Thanks!

Carolina Alberto says:

my friend said I was a bad artist for turning my sketch book and paper and
“i should be able to draw straight with out turning the page.” heh I’m
showing her this video tomorrow.

Matthew Godfrey says:

Um…. What do you do if you absolutely suck at drawing? Not being modest.

TheMCNinjas says:

another tip for better drawing.

Don’t look at videos on how to draw videos, those who tells you how to draw
Naruto, Ash Ketchum etc. You learn less, trust me.

Kenzie Smith says:

This really helps a lot, thanks! Nice drawings btw! :)

Nice tuts and great artwork you have btw.

Why my name is long I do not know. *shrugs* says:

I don’t know why but when I saw you drawing with a sharpie pen (What I do)
I went like “OOOOOOOOOOOOOAOHOOHOHHHH!”

Mysterious Potatoes says:

I can’t tell if I just started drawing really early, or he’s exaggerating
with the whole “Years and years and years.”

Annette McCarty says:

Thank you for sharing. I will take all the tips I can. And then TRY to
apply them. If I get rich and famous I will give you the credit. 

GarredHATES says:

I’m hoping to make my faces more expressible. Thank you Will Ferrel 

Theaggyyu says:

I started learning to draw just yesterday and I found this really helpful.
Though, something I’d like to ask: Should I stay away from tutorials that
teach me to draw one character in one pose? It seems kinda limited but at
the same time I enjoy following them.

Thanks :)

from my body. 

Kameo120 says:

His video was really helpful. Only problem is I can’t buy art supplies.
Overall the video was great and really fun to watch. 

airaisane says:

I’ve always had difficulty with line weight. I know you talk a little about
it with regards to line variation, but could you talk more about line
weight in your other videos?

Lovely Eyes says:

The biggest problem for me is lightly sketching. I start off light, but as
I go on, it gets darker and darker. Next thing I know, I’m grinding my
eraser down to a nothing.

Daniel Brown says:

Thanks for the tips for not much for the humour hahahahahaha but thanks

Patze Shaymin says:

Ich finde sein Bild wirklich… schlecht (!) und einige seiner Tipps auch
zB ,,be confident with your lines” Ich finde zum Beispiel bei Haare SOLLTE
(!) man mehrmals rübergehen um den richtigen Effekt zu erzielen.
(Hab ein Video letztens erst hochgeladen mit Kulli- zeichnungen und ich
will nicht angeben aber… viel besser! o.o)

Nichts für ungut. 

NATHALY Mendoza says:

I do the ragady lines with the pencil then erase the thing that doesn’t fit
and a I see wich angle line thing is better……I’m 10

meep meep says:

brushpen my heart melted

Laura Mcclure says:

I just love all your tips. Thank you so much. I can’t tell you how many
times I am sitting here tired and I watch your videos and I get energetic
and inspired to draw something. Even if I can’t draw.

Weird_Girl ^_^ says:

Great video! really helpful but I feel like I can’t make really straight
lines because I’m a lefty so I turn the notebook to the side and my lines
never come out straight no matter what, but if I try to draw with the
notebook straight up its just as horrible
