This video inspired me to start drawing. My level just 3 weeks ago was tragic, I could mess up a circle -. I have no relations at all to the world of arts and have never taken any class. I purchased one of those draw in 30 days book and now after a month, i look at things differently. So far, it has taught me circles, spheres, cubes, hollow cubes and this week I'm learning complex cubes. But most importantly, i look at mundane objects with mystery now: how the light touches them, how heavy they look, smooth, textured. Wow have I even truly looked at anything ever! I CANNOT BELIEVE i can draw something now! Now i don't look at this video with despair. I'll probably never get to the level of this genius, because I don't like it enough to dedicate my life to it. But i like it enough to draw 10 mn a day, which i believe will take me far enough in a few years. If you're an absolute beginner, start drawing, anything, TODAY.

the part he said about drawing symbols for eyes was really similar to something my first drawing professor told me in my first year of art school about 10 years ago. our first assignment was a charcoal self portrait, and afterward he gave us a lecture/over all group critique. i remember one specific thing he said was -you-re not drawing eyes, you-re drawing the symbol of an eye- and honestly it took me almost a year to really understand the value in what he was trying to tell us. we were drawing the symbols for our features instead of actually looking at the curves and shapes that come together to make our faces
anyway we did about a month of blind contour exercises after that

Interestingly at lower levels, his drew his face more masculine-ly (angular jaw. I kept praying for him to correct it later or I could not enjoy the video. Luckily at highest levels, he drew the face less masculine and the paintings looked good!

And here I was thinking I could actually draw really well. If I really tried I would probably get up to level 7 or even 8. I can't get the realistic shadows and contours as well as I would like to. Though I am trying to get there.

TIL art is not just expression but science and physiology. I've always been astounded by talented artists but this gives me an even greater appreciation of them. This guy is absolutely brilliant.

Level 1 should be an unrealistic version of how you want to look like because I'm pretty sure a majority of artists have drawn themselves like someone else

I feel like the amount of anatomy art students have to learn, it gets to the point where they could easily let them finish entry level medical schools

I feel like all the gradients and value should have come before the accurate drawing. Getting the drawing right is far more difficult.
