Can I Learn to Draw in 100 Hours?

Thanks for all the kind comments everyone! 💜 The PowerPoints used in the video are available to all tiers of our Patreon, if you want to check them out for yourself ☺

Does anyone else want this whole PowerPoint?

The art side of YouTube has really shown me how terrible my art teachers at school were. I've learnt I am artistic, I just need actual instruction more than "here's a style of drawing, now just draw it." No wonder it was only the innately talented people (some of which I know had classes outside of school) that went on to take art as a GCSE at that school. I've learnt more from YouTube than I ever did in those classes.

19:14 It strikes me that "I didn't know how to spend more time on it" is actually a really interesting way to define what expertise (or the lack of it) means. ...man now I really want to pull out my art pencils, haven't touched them in probably twenty years.

ALSO, he brings new meaning to "mugshot"...beautiful.

I am not sure if you two really are aware of what service you did to art with this video. The encouragement of this video alone will let a lot of people start discovering their own greatness. And we might see some day a pro telling us, that he started his journey right after this video. Thank you so much for this, and Hansi: Keep going!

That progression on the house in just 24 hours time of practice is incredible (6:20)

Those were some great baseline drawing subjects! Thanks for letting us be a part of your study plan and congrats on your progress! We agree with Martina on this: You learned to DRAW! Good luck to everyone else on their art journey!

The fact that she gave away all the resources and not making it a new course is just awesome

Fiancé?!?! Congrats!!!!

This is actually really motivational. I know 100 hours over a few weeks is a lot, but look at the difference! Having Martina in your corner definitely helps, of course! Having talent definitely helps, or being passionate, but to pretend that's all it is takes away from all the thousands of hours put into learning.

I absolutely loved watching Hansi improve his drawing skills so DRASTICALLY! His drawings turned out SO COOL! Also in the beginning when Martina said “my fiancé Hansi” I almost jumped up and down - I love you guys as a couple so much! ❤❤ And Martina’s PowerPoints were THE CUTESTTT 🎀🎀

This is so satisfying to see his rapid improvements. Honestly his baseline drawings weren’t that bad but you can tell how far he’d come by the end.

Loved this, that was a really well spent 100h! Super progress <3 (and thanks for the shoutout!)

15:25 haha he already got the most important step to being an artist: SHRIMP POSTURE Fr tho he improved so fast it’s crazy

This just proves that drawing is a skill that anyone can learn. I think the "talent" aspect comes in on how creative you can be with those skills.

Just wanted to say that this inspired me to start drawing at 27. Never thought I could draw, and I'm amazed where 20h of practice has already taken me. Absolutely inspiring video, keep it up!

I’m on the verge of tears. I’m a brand new game dev and my two biggest struggles are patience and skill. This gives me a path and proof that it works…I’ve heard the 100 hours thing before. This proves it works. If I can improve each skill in 100 hours for each one…I can do this. I can draw okay and can 3D model like a champ. But in 100 hours I can mark myself as pro in those areas. I code badly, but if I can see 100 hours as a marker for improvement, it’ll make it easier for me to push through. Thanks to you both for pointing out a path forward on a day I was ready to quit.

Thank you so much for doing this video. These type of videos may not be the most exciting compared to what you normally do but it was my catalyst to finally pick up a pencil and give it a go. Watching the progression of someone at my skill set really had power! I referenced a bunch of the videos linked in the description and I have been jumping around with line work, basic shapes and edging into anatomy and perspective. What I was actively drawing seemed meh but when I took a break and looked at it again I was shocked that it looked pretty good. I highly recommend everyone gives this a try because it’s shocking how impatient we can be and how rewarding the end product is. It is easy to forget that your perspective may not be the same as the next person so try not to be so harsh if it doesn’t look like the person next to you.

I think this video is a perfect representation of: "Genius is 1% talent and 99% percent hard work". Of course some people are naturally talented, but still this talent should be guided to achieve great things. Well done, Hansi! And Martina is a very good teacher)
