How to Draw || Art Tutorial
22To this day, my How to Draw With a Mouse tutorial is still my most-watched Youtube video. Many people have asked me how to learn how to draw. After 7 years, this is what I decided to put out.
====================
I had multiple drafts for what would have been my biggest Youtube project: a 5-7 video series talking about all the details of art theory and how to get started from nothing. The truth is, I never would have finished those videos, and I know for a fact that most people would not want to watch it, especially when much more skilled artists than me have already put out those courses for free. So, I was much more interested in putting out a different message.
You already know how to draw.

Even though this is essentially a 6 minute video of me rambling and making very bad left-handed drawings, I hope it helps or inspires at least one person out there.
If you're interested in learning more art theory and learning with a more "art school" oriented approach, feel free to look at the collection of links that I gathered and posted underneath my Mouse Art tutorial: https://www.vecderg.com/arttutorials
I personally thrived off of art theory study and tutorials, but even if you do use them, you still have to put the pencil to paper. There is no wrong way to learn art, and I encourage you to explore what works best for you -- don't feel bad if you're not the studying type. Some people work great with art theory, while others (MANY wonderful amazing artists I know) barely study art theory at all, and improve solely by drawing.
**This video was also not made or written to be a response to AI art, but feel free to use it as one lol
