00:00I don't draw. I haven't drawn since I was a kid. In fact, here's a self-portrait of me when I was six years old
00:07And I know what you're thinking. Pretty good, right?
00:11The semblance is uncanny. Why was doing skin color so difficult as a child? It's like, I'm not completely white. Red
00:19burning fire red
00:21Here's another self-portrait I found that I drew when I was eight years old
00:25I have now evolved skin color into merging with the wall behind me. Bold move, an artistic statement.
00:32In comparison, here's a self-portrait that Picasso drew when he was 15. I was a prodigy
00:38I could have been an artist, but I stopped. I don't draw. So one of my last videos
00:43I did was I learned a new thing every day for seven days
00:47So I spent one day trying to learn one thing and it was really fun
00:51It got me itching to wanting to learn more things and I thought what if I do it for a longer time?
00:57What if I learn to draw?
00:59Then I can compare what I drew at the beginning and then compare with the end and be like, whoa
01:04At least that's what you want to see, right? I have no guarantees. This could be very embarrassing
01:12Speaking of which, I gotta draw my first drawing. Let's begin. Are you guys ready to cringe? It's all in here. Be nice
01:19Okay
01:21I'm a sensitive artist. I want only good feedback. Alright, so day one
01:25I drew a bunch of eyes because I thought every day I'm gonna learn to draw a different body part. That was a bad idea
01:33Day two, I just doodle which you know, it's fun. But my goal with this was to get better, right?
01:39So yeah, I drew a bunch of stuff from my favorite manga BLAM. You can kind of tell it's just a mess
01:45I don't even know. Yeah
01:47It's
01:49Embarrassing to show these
01:51Day three. Yeah still do it
01:55The goal of this was not to just draw a lot but rather just draw a little bit every day
02:00So day four I watched a tutorial. I watched a draw along by Akihito Yoshitomi
02:06Really cool style. So drawing along. Yeah, I guess it helped but it still looks how it looks like
02:12Cool so here's kind of the crux of this video where I realized I could never draw a girl because I don't know about you
02:20Guys, but I am in the girls are pretty guys are ugly gang. Okay, whatever you prefer. That's fine
02:25But I feel like if you draw a guy, it doesn't really matter. They can be ugly
02:28Whatever, whatever, but if you draw a girl and you want to make a pretty it's hard
02:33You gotta be good at drawing to do that
02:35So I thought that would be a good challenge to teach myself how to draw a girl and here we have the result and it's awful
02:43Yeah, that one's not too bad. I don't know what that is
02:47So I found this artist on YouTube
02:49I recommend chumming drawing that does a lot of tutorials and I really like this style too because they weren't anime style
02:55It was just drawing girls and they look really good, but not mine
02:58so I learned the basic of drawing the circle and the eyes and how to
03:03Proportion it all because if any element is wrong it the face just looks horrible. It doesn't matter what you do
03:08Day six is just in pain
03:11I was so frustrated trying to understand this method of drawing a circle and then I drew my first mind. Yeah
03:18It's horrible. Don't laugh. Do not screenshot these that's illegal. Do not screenshot
03:24They all just kind of look like weird elves or just leprechauns rather. I was very mad. I'm cringing so hard
03:33looking at these I
03:35Just can't seem to get it. They all look like elves. I
03:41Don't know why
03:43Maybe because these are giant
03:47It's very frustrating it doesn't get better
03:50Actually, sometimes I do stuff and I'm like that was not that bad actually, but then in the rest, this is awful
03:56So day eight drew my second merch. It's bad. I erased parts of it because I hated it that much
04:04Me and March I went to a cafe. We wanted a break from parenting
04:08So might say I just read a book and I just drew and it was really really nice
04:12But I tried to draw March, but it was it's just so cringe. It's so bad
04:16I really thought I would be better by day eight. But here we are. So yeah
04:21It's more pain
04:23Just I'm so mad at drawing. This is so furiated
04:28Like why can't I draw?
04:30What is wrong, sorry to interrupt the video there's something I wanted to tell you guys there's a G fuel bogo sale
04:39Yes
04:41Bogo, what does it mean? I don't know but you buy one you get one. Hooray
04:48We also now have the PewDiePie black stainless steel to celebrate the black Friday
04:55It's the same one but more black. It looks amazing
05:00That's how it looks likes beautiful. They sold out super quick last time. So for those lucky who gets one
05:07Probably the best-looking shaker we've ever had. There's also a new PewDiePie black light edition tub. That's right
05:14It glows in black light
05:16Gotta buy it the first 5,000 people who buy this will get a free G fuel branded keychain
05:23Don't wait cuz these things sell out
05:26And if you spend more than $70, yeah, what?
05:31You get this glow-in-the-dark tub. It glows in the dark. Okay, I don't know how to draw that but it's it's for free
05:38over $70 in this bogo sale
05:41There's so many flavors included spice orange twisted metal ice cream
05:46Which is sour strawberry candy mega man's rush strawberry. Slush. I love that. Whoop a fruit
05:51I love G fuel so much. It's clean energy gives you laser focus zero sugar zero crash
06:00Zero what did I write zero stir?
06:05Anyway use code PewDiePie link in the description. Thanks for watching day nine
06:09I guess I felt like I did a little better. That one's kind of fun. I'm not following any reference or anything
06:15I'm just drawing based on what I learned
06:17So sometimes they turn out one maybe out of ten day ten not much to say day eleven
06:24I felt like okay, I should probably know how to draw a body right? So I practiced that a lot
06:28It looks like I did a lot but I drew this so quickly that I don't know just a lot of bodies
06:33Started adding heads to them and it was extremely hard to for me
06:38To get the proportions of the head and the body right as you can see here on the right
06:43That's not it
06:45Yeah, it's just kept drawing bodies, but I just can hated them
06:49So I switched to learning how to draw feet and hands for a day just for a change of pace
06:54That was easier. I guess day 19
06:57I was panicking at this point because I knew I only had what ten more days and I hated these I hate them
07:05Maybe you guys will be like no, they're not that bad because that's what Marcia would always say
07:09Which was really encouraging, but I hated them so much. What do you think?
07:13You
07:16You like yeah, you're great. Thank you. Oh, he's beautiful
07:22What day 21 still panicking I drew what looks like a child here. I didn't mean to I think the torso was too tiny
07:29Yeah, it's still panicking day 22. Yeah
07:34Day 23. Oh god. I drew another merch, but it's it was so bad. I just scribble over it
07:40Sorry merch space then I think here on the land. These are not that bad. I quite like these what happened
07:46Why can't I do it every time? Why is it so hard to draw? Why did no one tell me day 24?
07:51I first changed your pace decided to draw some anime characters. You can see power on the left
07:57I followed a tutorial online as well. This really helped a lot
08:02I think drawing anime style was this easier somehow and following a reference was also way easier
08:07They're not good by any means but I was finally
08:11Finally, I just felt like I clicked I could draw these super quick and it was fun
08:16I was just sketching random stuff through one quick one moved on to the next one and I really really enjoyed it after
08:2224 days I was finally having fun
08:27Same day 25. I was like, oh these are even better. I'm kind of improving now
08:31I drew these all really quickly too and messing around with different facial expressions same in day 26
08:36I feel like you every day you can see improvement and I drew another merch and that one's not that bad day 27
08:42I randomly picked up this manga to study Japanese, but I really like the character. It's called kindergarten wars
08:49It was really fun to draw this character. I'd really really enjoyed it
08:52Just like goofy style chibi or whatever, but also kind of cute some stuff day 28. I couldn't believe it
08:59I could felt like I could finally draw
09:02I'm not saying these are great, but there's so much better than they used to be all of a sudden
09:07It just kind of clicked. I was so happy
09:09I feel like it's a bit cringe for a 34 year old man to draw anime
09:14But at least I felt like I was improving and that was all I was going with
09:17These are all from different anime or manga, but I feel like they're quite good
09:21I don't want to sound like arrogant, but I looked at these and I was like, I couldn't believe I drew them
09:26I drew these how?
09:28Day 29 improvement still and I drew March and I love it. It's so cute. And that was cute too. What happened?
09:35finally, these are pretty bad, but I
09:38Don't know. I like these and there we go day 30
09:41I don't like all of these but some of them are kind of cool drew them just from my head as well
09:45So I'm happy about that and guess what day 31 I kept going because I actually realized I enjoy drawing now
09:53It's fun. I'm really sick of drawing anime girls or girls in general
09:57But that was the goal to try and accomplish comparing these and these drawings with some of the first stuff
10:04I drew you can at least say it's an improvement
10:07We can agree on that. So yeah, I was very pleasantly surprised
10:11Alright, so that concludes my little drawing thing
10:14Honestly, this is was a better result than I expected
10:17My goal was to practice 10 minutes a day because now as a new dad
10:21I don't really have the sit down for hours and do anything because 10 minutes a day for 30 days only equates to 5 hours
10:28So I wanted to see can you actually get a result out of that?
10:30And I think yeah, it seems for me at least I'm very happy and I enjoyed it
10:36I thought it was fun after all the pain
10:40The first two three weeks of pain. I felt like I was actually really enjoying sketching. I thought it was really relaxing
10:48Engaging and I can totally see myself keep doing it keep a sketchbook and draw whatever but if you enjoyed this video
10:54Let me know maybe I inspired you to learn something yourself 10 minutes a day. Not that big of a deal. That's it
11:01Bye. Bye
