I never came out of my creative depression. The only thing that reminds me of having any drawing skill is mindless doodles that I do with no thought

Possibly the best review I’ve ever seen. I immediately ordered it, got it yesterday, and love it!

End of January marks 3 years of me learning how to draw, I have a goal to get prominent in the niche I picked up. I enjoy drawing, but learning had been very painful for me. There's a lot of documentation about art, but documentation is often bad. First year I was just fumbling in the dark. Took me a good while to figure out how to learn. Had spent hundreds of hours drawing, I still suck. Recently had to delete the content on Pixiv in order to get my account unsuspended, that hit me hard, almost 3 years of trying to grow my account went to the trash. Also Patreon hit me. Definitely the road to get to the place I want to be is hard. I personally dont recommend drawing daily, you burn out, sometimes a break is part of the journey. Also, I hate how most artists cant give a straight answer when someone asks "how many years would take me to get good".

I’m glad I came across this video cuz I’m a struggling artist trying to make a way

Would love to see you create a Character that would sell worldwide and be able to be on movies, books, toys , video games etc. That would be awesome to see.

Hi why did you stop doing the daily drawing club? Will you start again ?

👏🏼💯

Love this new vlog style ❤ Nice to get a deeper look into the awesome work you and the comics team is doing! Excited for more

Great job DJ - fun seeing a new format to storytell

Hi, to draw digitally what do I need? ( what kind of tablet and program, etc) Thank you in advance

thankyou sir

Very insightful. Thank a for this one

❤🎉👌

The YT algorithm got it right for me today. Thank you for sharing your insight and being honest. Subbed

There’s a really interesting vr comic done in the app quill called the remedy by Daniel Peixe that really pushes the idea of what comics can be that I think everyone should check out. I know VR isn’t for everyone but even as a concept it’s just good storytelling and pushing boundaries.

I really appreciate this!! This is my passion!! I'd love to make artwork!

That’s an awesome story, man. Good on you for putting in the work to get in the newspapers. Hopefully that will inspire some young cartoonists to be creative in the way to get their name out there.

You have done what you loved? Good for you!

How do you guys clean the cover itself? I got V2 it is realy great. Do you clean it?

Nice. The hustle to make a living from your passion is amazing. Thanks for the inspiration.

Impressive. Thanks for sharing 😊

😂 love this

great, thanks for sharing

Very encouraging vid and enjoyed taking a few notes from your level up diagram. Really great perspective on how to excel as a professional in general. Have to check out more on outreach and setting my rates for some of my work in progress. Would love your feedback once I have it published.

One of the nicest, most straightforward people I have ever watched. You have found two things you are 'awesome' at sir, really really love your videos and advice ❤

Thank you sooo much! I just started using Procreate, and this video was really helpful to me! I was completely stuck and couldn’t figure out how to lower the opacity on certain layers. Thank you again!

Nintendo too

Thanks!

This channel flippin ROCKS!!! 🤘 I don’t even do art but I’m loving listening about it. So cool!!

Why thank you! :)

Thanks! I uh didn’t want Ai to steal my art and this was perfect! Time to add me images to my art 😼

Really cool process I actually do a process that similar to how Dave Givens do his progress by using a grid method when he was doing the watchmen with Alan Moore and he will cross some of the boxes one line that finishes the pencils and then the other line for inks. I think cartoon’s Café has a much better explanation of that on their review of watching the watchmen and also their Dave Gibbons interview as well. :)

Thank you SO much!!

Is it me or you only give us the first pillar question ? I was waiting for the 3 others but they never came, maybe it is just me missing understanding the exercice (english is not my first language) ^^

Great video and thanks for the real walk-through, that helps a lot getting the theory right. One question tho, using this method is only effective if you have a specific account about a specific "art business" of yours, like your comic in this video, right ? Let say you have your comic but you also draw illustration , you also are a color artist (for other artists pages), and you also are into linocut printmaking for example, do you think it will be better to have a personal brand account with all of that in it or a specific account for each field of yours and do this strategy on every one of them ?

Hey, man, first off, I like your videos. I almost always learn something helpful. A few months ago, I was having a conversation with a friend, and I was saying how I thought Facebook was evil. She came back with something that sounded a whole lot like this. I didn't want to hear it. I'm pretty entrenched with the Facebook being evil idea, but maybe it is a necessary evil that I need to embrace. I do weekly, mostly single panel cartoons (occasionally, they are multi-panel) on classic movies. I think I'm reaching my people, but only a very small portion of my people. I will give this a shot. Maybe, just start with one platform, and try to build from there.

They are charging me $20 for shipping. Is that normal?

If nothing else, drawing keeps me more connected to my own thoughts and inner self- and that's valuable to me <3

"Make your own Reality season 2 End credits" Thank me later

Thank You So Much For This Video. I Definitely Suffered Burnout a Few Times In My Tattoo Career Because I Felt Like I Was Going Too Slow For Social Media! I’m Doing Paintings Now & I Feel That Feeling Creeping Up On Me Again But Something Is Telling Me: WHO CARES! Create Art & Enjoy Your Life….Thank You Again. This Video Is Confirmation of What I’ve Been Feeling Lately.

Here's my thing.I live in PA in the hills. Absolutely breath-taking pictures, a friend of mine took a picture of a snow scene over the top beautiful.He asked me to paint it which I did on a 12 x 24 level 2 canvas. It's sold. We feel cause everyone wants prints. How to make of something this big? I have no printer. What about Staples?

Thanks

HORRIBLE MISTAKE! Unfortunately, I followed your advice 2:55 and used Best Value Copy's printing services. Today I received my art prints, it's just a horrible printing job! I sent several images to print at Best Value Copy. I think only 2 designs out of 30+ were fine, not excellent just fine. The majority of the images have inaccurate colors, especially the reds, or have printing lines, there's no sharpness, they look so awful. I'm so sad! Some of the prints are 12x18 and they didn't send them protected, so the corners are damaged. I can't sell them like that. I ordered business cards as well. They're flimsy and cheap looking. They're not even the same size! I also ordered two prints in black and white, those look good... except for the clip they attached to them to separate from the rest, I guess. And guess what, the clip left a mark on the prints, obviously! Disappointment is a soft word for what I'm feeling about the quality of their service! DO NOT USE BEST VALUE COPY, unless you want cheap looking prints or business cards or whatever!

Thank you, Great help! Can’t wait to place my order!
