I really want to be a youtuber and i was thinking about using my oc instead of myself in video and i suddenly saw that you're doing the same thing. So may i ask what app you use?

Recently, I've been battling my tendency to bedrot and procrastinate. I'm really glad that I found your channel because listening to you in the background while I draw brought me back to the days when it felt so easy for me to just draw nonstop on my sketchbooks while an artist youtuber's video is playing in the background. Hopefully, I finally stop this bad habit I acquired and be consistent. Thanks for the amazing videos by the way! I've been binging your videos and it inspires me to finally commit to my goal to be an art youtuber like you💖

Don't support betterhelp!

yeah somtimes people r just so mean to people like dude it's just a drawing. like chill out young artist r still learning and when people say mean stuff like that it's just discouraing for the little guys. and i can realate to the comparing myself to other artist/animators, people say that my art is great and inspiring but for some reason i just don't feel like i am(like i know im good at art but like "compared to others" im not somthing to brag about :P

therapy is great! but betterhelp is not please educate yourself on it

Nice video. As a learning artist and animator although a weird as some might say. I think it is important to keep those things in mind. Comparison is healthy, in my opinion, only when you are trying to achieve certain outcome in your drawings. Appreciate you sharing. c:

Man, this animation SUCKS! It's like Rhapsody Street Kids, and I'm TOTALLY not saying that just so Mappa won't come after you.

"something funny" for the algorithm :) your voice is very calming, +1 subscriber 👍

i think pancakes r better than waffles

i was talking w my partner about this the other night! i feel like if anything the spread of AI will start a sort of renaissance, like what happened with post-impressionism after the invention of the camera. because there was a method of creating a photocopy of high reality, artists were pushed to highly stylize their craft to stand out. i’m excited to see the different movements that will come about from this wacky period of time :)

i pray for the downfall of AI

ty for the video!

For real bro, AI user better be shaking their sandals once I draw them pregnant- Aside from that, to be honest, AI art isn’t really that worrisome for me, since artist can do some many things, use techniques that is unique and out of the box. Making it pretty cool. While the AI is some discord fella just typing on his computer, barely writing a sentence at all. So personally, it isn’t that worrisome. But if the AI art keep going. I say we go ape-crap and go on an aggressive rampage through the internet bro-

“Something funny” I did it guys But for real wonderful video, I myself am an artist who isn’t too worried about AI (even if my art is simple and not thought provoking) and I hope people don’t let this discourage them from trying to make art in the future. No matter what AI can’t replicate a person’s intentions and imperfection, what makes us human, we have thoughts and feelings while an AI is just copying. Hope this made sense lmao

Small art channel with a cool art style and who talks about interesting topics? Sign me up!

its so sad that makima killed power, aki, reze (denjis gf) and SO MUCH MORE in the manga! denji story is so sad :(

We going to mappa with this one.

Awwhh I love this!

The lil oc in the corner is so cute eeeeee! :3

I love your animation, so cute!

Just do you know most Western animation studios use Toon Boom Harmony for 2D compositing (and Nuke for 3D compositing). The only big animation studio that uses After Effects for compositing in the West is Titmouse. Eastern animation studios do use After Effects. After effects is probably the worst compositing program to use though. Layers are not effective for compositing. AE is much better suited for motion graphics

im a fan of CSP animators ! is there a quick way to easily move the blue bars that control the replay range? or do u have to do it manually ?

once again another wounderfull vid :]]] and thx for all the tips! loved listing to the vid while i was making a yt short :]

This is a really nice video. I animate too and this definitely helped remind me of things I need to do as an artist to make good work. Thank you 😊

Thx for the tutorial

When I finsih making the art piece, where do I post it? Instagram, youtube? Love your rt style btw its AMAZINGG:3

I genuinely thought there would be way more views and comments on this wtf???? Can't let you get too popular or Mappa might come for you😰😰😰💛💛💛

wow that is terrible (saving you from mappa)

Honestly animating (for me) is very difficult, I know all the techniques and different kinds of animation like fps and tweening yet whatever I try it turns out weird. So thanks for this video 🫶

I've been trying to scroll less whenever I catch myself and get back into my other hobbies. 💛

This is not the point of the vidoe the but character u drew is so 😍👍🏽

i forced myself to do a dopamine detox for a week, no social media, no youtueb no music, just boredom and pain, the first few days were really painful i was annoyed, but then i started doing some work and art, and after a week dopamine detox cured all my social media addiction, i appreciete small things more now, and im able to tell when im spending too much time in social media and its very easily to turn off twitter or youtube now and get to doing stuff i care about

Deadass put a website blocker on KZbin to stop wasting time watching stuff I’d never retain (Well, it’s lifted right now hence why I’m here because I didn’t sleep well so it’s actually nice to chill and watch videos today) It’s pretty straightforward and works wonders. I started playing more games since then which is nice. I always want to complete these long rpgs I own but would wind up procrastinating - despite the fact I WANT to play - by watching random videos because I guess it’s a quicker and easier dopamine hit. I’ve never used tiktok, never will, not with my attention span, but I’m sure there’ll be ways to block that app too so when you open it you’re reminded “oh yeah. I’m not supposed to be doing that”. Give it a go :) Nice video btw, I was surprised the channel is so small. You’re doing well

ooof... i've been in a depression pit for over a year now (not horrendous, but bad enough to lose focus on what truly matters, my priorities and especially my interests). i quit drawing about two years ago, drawing less & less sporadically and never truly improving or looking too hard into it. i'm currently on therapy and trying to improve my focus and life goals and i remembered how back then when i was a kid i was sooo engrossed in fandom culture, animation memes and that huuge art community that existed back then and something snapped; i always wanted to be a good artist ever since i was a kid, why not try again? i used to draw everyday since i was able to hold a pencil- no masterpieces, sure, but it was something i enjoyed and still found release and positivity in. if we wait for motivation, we might aswell lay down until we become a bag of bones. that's something i realized recently and the reason why i'm trying not only to keep on pushing forward but to also regain my hobbies (which made life soo much easier). it's never too late to start making conscious decisions that will improve our wellbeing & i think it's super important that we analyze how we're spending our time (especially online!) and see if it does more harm than good to us. doomscrolling is real y'all 😭

Oh, wow, this explains a lot of my lack of motivation these days. My personal bedrot poisons are video games and KZbin - the latter of which is really hard for me to avoid because I prefer to have background noise while I work. And yeah, trying to find The One Video to work to does consume a lot of mental energy. Basically, thanks for making this video. I appreciate having a new perspective on my habits.

escapism is how i often cope with the things that stress me out, but a lot of that gets sucked into scroll loops(that sometimes turn into doomscrolling), to the point where i'm so burnt out from the stimulation that the things that usually make me happy all of a sudden make me feel guilty and like i can never get anywhere. i don't play as many video games and like...i BOUGHT so many....i dunno. maybe i'm just overwhelming and having a crisis. but yeah, i think drawing feelings out is a good idea. i tend to do that in fanfic

something that has helped me is removing my apps (x, instagram, youtube) from my home screen. Out of sight, out of mind. I sometimes I forget I even have the app installed and will just put my phone away to draw

I felt this a lot, but I find it harder to get out of my situation. As an adult, I have to deal with working full time, making sure chores and food are done, keeping clean, and just repeating the cycle. My phone is the only escape from this drab life, but it also makes me more depressed, because I see people younger than me living my dreams. I wanted to be a famous creator, and artist, a singer, someone who maybe would make an animated show one day. But now…the age of 22 is soon gonna hit me like a truck. All the time it just feels like I’m running out of time and my peak was hit long ago. During all this time, I’ve realized that my entire life, I’ve just been raised to be a completely blank slate. (Religious family, if you’re wondering.) No individual thoughts, no negative feelings, just someone who is supposed to be and feel nothing, and to just do as I was told. Follow the orders of a higher power and to do nothing wrong. I was kept from growing up and being myself and figuring out who I was, down to the last little thing. and now I’m doing all of that while in the middle of switching between jobs while trying to make ends meet. I have very little original ideas, as I’m not used to thinking much on my own terms, so I constantly try to go all over social media, trying to seek inspiration, but it just further fuels my addiction to my screen. It’s awful. I feel like there’s no way out. The only thing I do draw now are things I came up with years and years ago. I post them, and do everything I can to get people to notice my work, but it just doesn’t work. How can I get out of this terrible cycle?

LMAO I relate to your intro - recording my first vid and read the entire script, and forgot my mic was off

I feel like I've been getting into cycles where I go through bed rotting, doom scrolling, & depression all at once. I tell myself I'll go on my phone for a few minutes to see how my friends are doing or post a drawing, next thing I know I've spent several hours endlessly scrolling & worrying over stuff like AI, the current state of art jobs, world events, fandom extremists, & politics.

I used to struggle with bed rotting during the pandemic, and while I'm trying to keep off of social media (1 hour or less a day), I still struggle with coming home from work and just scrolling or watching something. I really want to get back into animation, specifically animation memes, but I'm so nervous to. I know the solution to it is to just do it! Thank you for making this video, seeing you draw and also talk about something I struggle with too, it's comforting to know I'm not the only one and it doesn't have to be a permanment problem.

my favourite way to get creative again is to be cringe. make an oc on picrew or some character creator then draw it. maybe make a mary sue or a super emo edge lord but either way its so fun for no reason and then I'll mystically get a whole bunch of ideas and then try making their family and friends. TLDR: Character creators are a blessing use em more :3

I personally find washing the dishes very helpful to refresh my mind! It was even found in a study that washing dishes decreases stress. It may not be for everyone and I personally don't do the dishes every day but it's worth giving a shot, feels really good when I do something as simple as cleaning my desk or sweeping the floor

My issue is I want ti animate my ocs, 1 they're not consistent enough to animate, 2 I get suoer overwhelmed wanting to abimating them coz idk where to start and ik it'll be shit and I dont want to make shit animation which is rigged coz I need to be shit to get good. Si then I bed rot watching animation tutorials and animatics and fan animations and get all sad that I cant do it, but yeah I dont know where to go from here, even if I wanted to animate my oc idk what I'd do coz it's overwhelming enough just thinking of an action
