As someone that draws alone/on stream from home this is a really thought provoking video, ive recently stopped living with friends and moved in with my partner who works during the day when I draw and I've had the thought of, that could be really lonely. Thank you for making me think about this idea, it's always a good reminder to check in with those around me that I care about.

When weren't you an almost cheese cake?

absolute absence of idea about look back and award for most annoying accent. A resume posing as a video essay with no reasn to exist

I know a real life bocci😅 it's a close freind. Made them watch this and they loved it cuz it was real and drew comparisons with times I've dragged her out.😅

Fundamentally l believe that as an artist the thing that separates the good from great is not skill, it is not time put in to the craft, it is not education, it not follower counts. It is that the artist genuinely enjoys the craft, enjoys the PROCESS. Of creating, not just the end result. Based on this description you can of course argue that someone who doesn’t have that much skill or practice is the trade isn’t creating art that is marketable. Something that nobody likes so there for it has no worth. But in todays day in age if the act of creating something and sharing it makes you happy that’s all it needs to do. If it motivated you to continue creating. If you feel motivated to pursue a career in it. To take your art further. Your success is determined on if it truely makes you happy. Do you draw when you’re bored. Do you draw to express yourself. Do you draw to show something funny to your friends. Or do you draw to get numbers on social media, do you draw to pay the bills. Do you create just for the end result or do you actually enjoy the journey of how you got there. Can you describe the things you struggled with. Can you see where you succeeded and where you failed. It’s a whole process, but it’s process refined to the artist themselves. When you are the best artist in your middle school and you find yourself going to an art school. No longer are you the best artist in a group. You are surrounded by people who are at your level, or an even higher level then yourself. For a lot of artists the appeal of art is being good at something that few people can do. So it’s earth shaking to suddenly be put in groups of artists who can all do what you can do but better. I think the best advice I could ever give to any artist is reminders to ask yourself “ do you genuinely enjoy making art. Or are you creating for a different purpose “ there’s nothing wrong with wanting to be popular wanting to share your art with the world. But your enjoyment of what you create should never be souly motivated by how much people engage with it. “ it can be a nice motivator. But your enjoyment should never hinge on it “ I’ve seen so many artists who are miserable and hate their artistic process and say things along the lines of “ what’s the point no one even likes it. I’ll never have followers I should just give up “ if your goal was to have a lot of followers and only that, it was never about the art it was about the reception. Creating is about the journey and sometimes that journey is drawing an inside joke that only you and maybe 3 other people will understand! Maybe it’s drawing your own character that no one knows. Maybe it’s drawing something that’s sentimental to you for reasons the public will never understand. You can always engage and draw things for the public. But at the end of the day no matter where you are in art. As long as it brings you fulfillment. As long as the process makes you happy. Even on days that are difficult and have bumps and tumbles. If you enjoy it. It’s worth while. Don’t let anyone else control how you approach your craft.

This video made me depressed. People around always do something, always go for something bigger While all you can do is watch and be treated like shit I hate this life with all my being

I'm sorry, but I had the opposite problem. I always prioritized other people in my life, and took care of my loved ones. I got used, and basically deprived myself of any meaningful relationship with people who actually recipricate. I'm not saying everyone who discourages you is a narcissistic psycho; but for me, putting all my time into the wrong people was the problem. Sometimes we take the people in our lives for granted, but that goes both ways. I wouldn't want someone to give up their dream for me. But I gave everything for people I now know would never do the same for me. If you let people hurt you, they will. Regardless of what you do. Art isn't the problem any more than spending time with friends or studying to broaden your skills. Art is art. Just let people live.

I don't mind walking the lonely road of artistry. Most people are evil assholes anyways. And when death comes for me, unlike them, I'll die with the satisfaction of having pursued something powerful and wonderful. Maybe I'm mentally sick, but I would do the same art, working just as much, if I was on a deserted island, with nobody to look at my stuff (and in fact my popularity online is so low, that's basically what is happening). I'm doing this for myself. To do and build something that I deem worthwhile. Spend my life into something I believe in rather than waste it in the common passivity most people revel in. It's a hard life, but it's a life worth living. At least from my eyes it appears and feels so. And that's good enough for me.

I want people to make art... :(

feels.

It's videos like these that make me appreciate the friends I have, they understand my love for commissioning others. And even encouraged me to pick up drawing myself, of which I did. I'm still pretty crap ngl but I hope to be able to reach the level of the artists I commission one day.

I love this video specially the anime Look back a true masterpiece for me to aspire and learn from to be better and no commit the same mistakes in life if not become better without needing pushing myself hard do what I must do.

art plagiarized doesn't exist , kyoani employees doesn't deserve the tragedy that happened 😞

ppl think you do average art and you feel no one wants you to make art? double dawn and make it anyways - that's the point of art : self expression, isn't it? :')

This video is impossible to listen to because of your cadence at the end of words. It's like you are speaking normally until you reach the last word and then you kick your British and/or Australian accent into full gear; as you stretch out each word so that we are forced to hear this jarring mix of normal English and heavy gay British/Australian that's dragged out in a gay way. The accent isn't the issue the issue is you don't have a strong accent the final word of every sentence so we never get accustomed to how you sound. The way you speak sounds like if a Gay Australian and a Gay British man adopted a child and raised that child to speak that way. That child is this KZbinr. Or to put in the words of a Canadian discord buddy of mine: "he just sounds like his boyfriend is sticking it in at the end of every sentence". This video was linked on discord because of how bad the cadence was and that's the only reason why I watched it ngl.

yeah i can't watch with that forced accent, sorry

nice va-11 hall-a ost :)

Excellent video I noticed these things right off, guess I’m familiar with such comments. But it’s interesting how once you show some of said art you hear praise. One teacher loved how I write and told me to never quit and I never have, it’s too important to me.

why bro so zesty?

i love the video subject, but the upspeak/uptalk is distracting for me

great analysis! but the way you annunciate kinda makes it sound like there is a question mark at the end of each sentence... for example, "job-eh"

Great analysis

I swear this video was triggering for me omg

I feel tihs could be applied to other hobbies considered time wasters, like, tracker music...

This made me ugly cry

I was that girl so about 6 years and in retrospec I feel silly being so focused on art. Now they want you to make art, for free, so they can steal it and regenerate it through a program so they can call your art their own art that they can sell. All while telling you that you're still worthless and been replaced by superior "technology" already This is the true nature of this fµcked up society. Nobody wants you to make anything that doesn't benefit """them""". The only way to win is to keep drawing but don't show it to anyone.

you sound like femboyuk is that you ?

I kinda want your theory to come true, it’d be pretty funny to see

I do worldbuilding, but have no avenue to share it. Basically nobody cares, and even those that humor me and say they’d like to hear, don’t participate much and don’t really seem interested. Only a few close friends actually care. Sometimes it makes me wish I didn’t have the desire to create, because it doesn’t seem like it will ever mean anything to anyone.

Banger video dude

alan

It all fades away eventually, I'm at a point where everything is blank, and I don't want to create because I don't want to anymore. I just hoped it would last a while longer.

Damn son, that's a hella awesome vid I want to watch the movie, I'm totally ok with spoilers, n I love the deep meaning in the analysis of this movie/manga I myself am an Artist, ofc u can push urself but should always take care of urself & others, just because u want to become something more doesn't mean u should go blindly doing it without someone at ur side at least, or urself knowing maybe I should chill I wish to make my own comic n shows but I don't think I'll get that far, n that's fine, I don't have a lot of follows n that's fine too, I honestly still just wanna draw stuff for myself & for my bf n my few friends that I have, I don't want to entirely push myself, but at the same time, I rlly wish n want to do more but I can't, n that's ok too, rn I prefer to draw here n there, & support my bf becoming a voice actor, which I hope he gets his lucky day soon! Because he, in my eyes, is a nice inspiration as I was to him where at 1st he hated to draw n then he picked it back up, n I'm happy he didn't give up, never give up in ur dream of what u want real but at the same time take care of urself n others for everyone's benefit, love ppl 1st n love what u do 2nd because that can be replaced unlike the ppl in ur life that can pass on or move on without u. Again, great vid man✨💖

Ok, the part near the end about you mentioning how you don’t have many friends IRL, how all your friends are online, and how you spend a lot of time by yourself, is Far too relatable. I don’t have many friends IRL, and those I do have moved away. Practically, all of my friends are online. I didn’t have many friends until summer of 2018, when I started to make online friends, and a lot of those people I met I’m still friends with. Sure, some friends have come and gone, but…I still have my friends, my community. But sometimes…I wish those online friends were IRL, friends I could hang out with irl. I don’t go out much, and there’s not that many places I can make friends irl. Making friends, especially as an adult, is very difficult. I just wish I had an easier way to make friends irl, all i have is church. And don’t get me wrong, church is great, but it’s limiting. I just wish there was a good, safe way for me to make friends irl. Fine people who share my interests and values, just…find my people.

I remember some big artist said "You need to live first to make art, and let the experiences you have be the fuel your art feeds on". We're human, we have needs. By living a balanced life both you and your art will thrive

Gotta love how lazy it all has become.......... our turn!

just say look back, im quitting drawing

Why can’t I stop crying when it comes to video or watching the movie I can’t stop crying

You absolutely CAN separate from people too hard. Art imitates life, after all, so you must have life to draw from, otherwise you'll run out of art to make, and that's just as terrifying of an end.

The way I cope with the loneliness is to live with it. But over the years I’ve been trying to change myself. Now I have only one goal. That one goal being. Be better.

I quit art for a few years. Don't.

I'm going to do it, anyway. God gave me hands for a reason; and if He wants to me to draw, then by golly, I will draw as many bloody pictures as I can. I will die drawing, even - if I can help it

They don't mind you doing your art just as long as brainwashing you is part of the curriculum.
