Drawing videos on YouTube are a dime a dozen these days but learning how to make them can be more difficult than it seems. Sure, you can go into YouTube and follow the standard instructions, but those are often pretty limited and boring for the viewers. If you want to be successful at creating great drawing videos that people will appreciate and watch, you need to start with the basics.
First, you’ll want to get a decent video camera if you don’t already have one. A basic video camera will do the trick, but if you have extra funds, you should opt for a higher-end one that has better resolution and a better-quality microphone. Having the right tools will make the production of your drawing videos much easier and the quality higher.
Second, you’ll need to decide what type of drawings you’ll be doing. You could create videos of animals, portraits, landscapes, cartoons, and so many other things. Choose something you are passionate about and that you know people would enjoy watching. This way, people watching your videos will be able to tell that you truly care about what you’re talking about.
Third, you’ll want to put together a simple script outlining what you plan on doing in your video. This will help you stay on track and make sure you don’t get too off track and start talking about things that aren’t relevant to what you are drawing. You don’t have to stick to the script perfectly either, as long as it helps keep you focused and on track.
Fourth, it’s time to start filming! Before you start filming, you should set up the camera in a comfortable position that you know won’t get in the way of your drawing. Pay attention to the lighting, background, and sound to make sure they are all up to par too. Check that your microphone is plugged into the camera, too.
Fifth, you’ll be ready to start drawing! Before you begin, think about what you want to draw and start sketching out a few ideas. Once you have a few ideas sketched out, it’s time to start filming. Be sure to take your time and film each step of the process, such as outlining, shading, and adding details.
Sixth, when you finish drawing, don’t forget to add a few comments or descriptions to the video. Include things like a description of the tools you used or any tips you have for drawing a particular subject. Doing this will make viewers feel like they can relate to you and appreciate your work even more.
Seventh, when you’re done, it’s time to upload your video to YouTube. You’ll want to include a good title and description when you upload the video so it can be found easily. You’ll also want to include relevant keywords, tags, and labels as well.
Eighth, your video will now be visible to the public! Reach out to your friends and family and let them know about the video. Post it on social media and possibly even consider creating a short video advertising the video itself to try and draw more people in.
Ninth, the last step is to just keep making more videos, improving on your skills and mastering the art of drawing and making YouTube videos. You’ll learn a lot along the way and with time, you’ll become a pro!
Drawing videos on YouTube can be really fun and rewarding. With a few simple steps, you’ll be making videos like a pro in no time. Start off with the basics, and then gradually improve on your skills by making more videos and exploring different types of drawings and techniques.
