How To Start A Drawing Youtube Channel

So, you wanna be a YouTube drawing sensation? Fantastic! Get ready to unleash your inner Picasso (or stick-figure superstar, no judgment here!).
Grab Your Gear (Without Breaking the Bank!)
First things first: you'll need some supplies. Don't think you need a fancy studio setup right away! That's like trying to build the Eiffel Tower out of LEGOs before you even know how to snap two bricks together.
A trusty sketchbook, some pencils, maybe a cheap set of markers – boom! You're in business. Your phone camera is perfectly fine to start with.
Must Read
A decent microphone will save you a ton of headaches later. No one wants to hear your voice battling a wind tunnel in your bedroom.
Brainstorm Brilliant Ideas
Now for the fun part: deciding what to draw! Think about what you're good at, or what you genuinely enjoy. Are you a master of manga? A wizard with watercolors? A doodle deity?
Teach others! People are always looking for a beginner friendly video. Tutorials are your bread and butter, so, start with the basic.

Draw what makes you happy. If you’re forcing yourself to draw landscapes when you secretly dream of drawing dragons, your audience will sense it.
Pro Tip: Embrace the Challenge
Don't be afraid to try something new! What about drawing with your non-dominant hand? Create a drawing challenge series – like "30 Days of Doodles!"
Collaborate with other artists! Imagine you’re a rock band, and another artist is like a lead guitarist, and you make sweet music together!

Lights, Camera, Draw!
Time to hit record! Find a well-lit spot (natural light is your best friend). Remember, no one expects perfection! A little "um" or "ah" here and there makes you relatable.
If you make a mistake, own it! Or, even better, turn it into a joke. Drawing is supposed to be fun!
Edit your videos! Software is your best friend when it comes to drawing youtube videos. DaVinci Resolve is free to use!

Become a YouTube Superstar! (Eventually...)
So, you've got your videos, you've uploaded them. Time to sit back and wait for the millions of subscribers to roll in, right? Okay, maybe not quite yet.
Promote your videos on social media! Share your art on Instagram, Twitter, TikTok – wherever your target audience hangs out. A good way is to share a time lapse of your drawings.
Engage with your viewers. Respond to comments, ask questions, and build a community. Making friends with other artists makes all the difference.

Don't Give Up!
Rome wasn't built in a day, and neither is a successful YouTube channel. There will be days when you feel like nobody is watching. That's normal!
Keep creating, keep learning, and keep having fun! Remember why you started drawing in the first place, and let that passion shine through.
Who knows? Maybe one day, you'll be teaching me how to draw the perfect anime eye. Now get out there and make some magic happen! You got this!
