I just want to point out that this video is focusing on the fine arts and targeted towards aspiring professional artists. Being at 'Level 0' doesn't mean you are are a terrible artist or that all your practice has been a waste of time. It just means that you are a beginner when it comes to the specific techniques and concepts taught in Russia, which appears to hold its students to a very high standard.
If you're a hobbyist, the most important thing is that you enjoy drawing, so don't think that you need to master all of these levels for your work to be valuable and appreciated. But, studying the concepts from this video would definitely be helpful if you are looking to level-up your art.
This video also doesn't acknowledge that there are many other art-related industries (e.g. animation, illustration, comics, architecture, contemporary art) which each have their own skillsets that wouldn't be measured according to this system of levels.
It's an informative video, but I just want to stress that your place in these 10 levels does not equal your worth or ability as an artist, especially if you work in styles other than fine art.

this is extremely useful in figuring out what you need to work on for sure, but for anyone feeling demotivated by it, it's important to remember that art is about a lot more than technical skill

As a university-level art student, please know that this is very high level stuff. The things that kids are taught in the first few "levels" are absolutely essential knowledge for artists who want to make higher quality art but this is also clearly targeted towards a very classical painterly style that the average artist is not trying to achieve. My greatest tip for improving your art based on this leveling system is do the more boring exercises over and over and over again until you have the fundamental skills before you attempt "finished" works. Some of the best advice I've ever received as an artist is to not try to act like every single piece is a finished piece. Until you're at a professional level, damn near every piece you do should be in the interest of improving your skill and learning. That doesn't mean that you can't do fun things, but it does mean that you will be able to do more fun things much sooner and to a much higher standard.

This is really sad when you know that all of your learning still count at level 0 and when you get compared to children, but it also what give you motives

At 70 years of age I don't really care at what level I am. Probably 0. But I'm at least proud at what I've achieved. so far. At 15 I won an international contest in drawing. So that made me feel good. My grandfather was a self thought artist and as a child I enjoyed watching him at work with his brush. I took up my drawing just a few months ago this after a 20 year break. I draw simply for the pleasure and relaxation. I wish I could have taken art courses at a younger age but I was not privileged coming from a poor family. For anyone contemplating taking art courses at an early age, my blessings go out to you.

This video is about drawing skills from a practical and traditional perspective, not a modern perspective. A lot of people in the comments donât seem to realize that. The skills listed in this video ARE important when looking at the world in a 3 dimensional plane. Perspective, proportions, shading, geometry. These are all helpful and are things that definitely improve an artists ability to understand how shapes work and how would fit together if they were 3-D. Even if someone is going for a cartoon style, these thing are still important. Maybe not so much for artists who are more about modern art and abstract art, but these ideas can still help any artist looking to improve. While these skills obviously improve an artists work, it is still possible for a piece to look good without ALL of these elements, especially if itâs not supposed to be a reflection of how the real world works. This video really inspired me to take a look at fundamentals because right now my art is at a level where Iâm not sure how I can improve even though I know it needs improvements.

Holy shit. The Russians really don't mess around when it comes to art, huh.

I would have literally killed to have had my art classes in school to have been like this.
I've been trying to teach myself to draw for around 7.5 years and while I know very basic ideas in each level (eg basic understanding of perspective, simple shading and bounce light, human proportions etc) but I cannot really say I'm past level 0. It's both a little disheartening in a way but also relieving because I know that in the end, there is more I can do to improve my art in the direction I want, I just need to find it. Though I am looking more into comics and animation I really want to have better versatility as an artist.

Van Gogh started drawing when he was 27 and died at 37. The pictures he painted 2 years after first starting to draw are recognized as masterpieces worldwide. If he went on a route of a Russian art school he would have died before he even finished studying :)

As a self-taught artist, I can't stress how much this video has helped me. Thank you for posting this video, I really appreciate the informative content. Normally, it's hard figuring out where to start because there's so many basic elements I need to learn. Glad to have a video like this as a guide!
