32:58 those are really good

I really love this one, it's so mysterious and captivating!

2:58 ok, but i reeeeeaally love your art style!!! 😮😍💖

fantastic video, this is very much a story of personal development and definitely "real" I wish you the best in life, hopefully you'll be able to rediscover your passion

Love the smattering of mythology with the art content.

4:16 the way the drawing lines up with your words is amazing 🤣

you're gonna be alright buddy

You should try drawing with less perfectionism like concept art

11:13 traditional painters can work with grey scale

Yeah well congrats or whatever Idk why I’m watching art videos again I gotta give up on this shit Eight years, no improvement, don’t even enjoy the process, why the fuck do I even bother

youre so cool

Amazing video, your art journey in a lot of ways is similar to mine, except I started in April 2020. One thing I reflected on early was I had to draw for me and not for social media. I think in that and taught myself that I'm doing this for me.

Art is hard and I know that it's easy to be hard on yourself as a result but you're doing incredibly. You should be proud of what you have achieved. I believe in you and your future artistic endeavors, so should you! Your art is rad and I'm looking forward to seeing your story come to fruition :P Take this next bit from the position that I really want you (and others) to succeed and I've been drawing for 13 years at this point.... 1) When you have an idea for a drawing but it's not flowing properly, thumbnail that drawing. Draw super small rough drawings for the sake of composition. It saves a LOT of time if something just isn't working. Only after you have a rough idea for a drawing then you find reference. It is VERY rare for me to find reference before drawing, obviously this is something that varies between artists but from watching your last video and this one, I think you should look into and give thumbnailing a go if you haven't already. 2) I do a lot of similar precision practices, mostly lines but my favourite to do is circles! I've filled in pages and pages of circles that are all the same size or varying sizes, each time trying to draw the perfect circle. Whenever I see gaps on a page I'll fill it in with circles. Not only does it help with precision and line confidence but it's sooooo satisfying when you draw a perfect one 3) Lastly, art is the closest thing we have to magic. We're creating something out of nothing, conjuring worlds, creatures, feelings and so much more. That is why art is so special and precious. There's a lot of stories of wizards dedicating their lives to their craft and going mad, and others who give up spell craft in order to focus on having a life. I find that a lot of my broader questions about art and obsession etc, are depicted in those kinds of stories. My favourite book is The Magicians by Lev Grossman, especially when you read it with the thought of magic being a stand in for creativity. It's especially applicable when talking about how all magicians are broken in some way, or that magic comes from pain, which is something I find a lot of artists relate to. I'm sure he didn't intend this interpretation at all, alas, it's how it reads to me XD Life and art go hand in hand. You can't have one without the other. The best art comes from people who do things outside of art. The little things influence you and your creations profoundly and help inject true feeling into what you do. Some of the best and most proud pieces I've ever done have been the result of things that have happened in my personal life, not necessarily big things but fleeting moments that I choose to capture in some way, shape or form.... and although I don't have the skill yet to truly capture the world as I see it, there's something so beautiful about trying. Even when I'm trying to capture something real it's almost always through the lens of fantasy or horror but somehow that only seems to make it all the more real. For example one of my most recent drawings. I was given a prompt 'haunted'... super simple. As I was trying to figure out how I was going to depict something so vague and simple I kept on thinking about those moments where you're sure there's something just out of sight, especially when you already feel vulnerable, like in the shower, or home alone etc. So I'm really happy with how I managed to capture that. I wouldn't have been able to without that little bit of life experience, obviously it's something that everyone can relate to and isn't the most out there life experience, but it came from life all the same. You can't let art be all consuming, no matter how much you want to. Take pleasure in the day to day, the mundane along with the unusual. It fuels your at... It's hard to explain and I know I haven't been very clear or concise.... but I hope some of my ramblings was helpful to someone... perhaps I should make a video on the topic XD

My main rule of thumb is to do one thing out of your comfort zone or challenging in some way with each drawing. It doesn't have to be crazy intense but focusing a little on perspective, material, anatomy, posing etc. one at a time in each drawing, rather than trying to do it all at once. Other then the one thing you're focusing on, everything in that drawing is more practicing things you already know, for the sake of fun! :P At the core of it, it's about making sure that you don't fall into an artistic slump, so that you're always having some progress but still prioritizing enjoyment! Of course if you supplement that idea with studies and what not then you'll see growth faster BUT you'd be surprised how far you can grow with my simple method.... :P Those undead paintings are freaking awesome btw... there's an audience for everything!!! <3 "You're sure to do impossible things... if you follooww your heeaart!!!" - Jacquimo, Thumbelina :P

This is a GREAT video!

it's only normal to lose the way, to find yourself wondering why you even keep doing it, it happens, and it's in these moments of weakness where you need to push through somehow, nice vid

Thank you for this amazing video! I feel like I’ve learned so much about you and about art

Dude basically had his own anime training arc to avenge AOT

I really liked the part about "artist go to art school to loose their passion". When i was a kid they called me somewhat talented and i wanted very badly to go to art school and whrn i finaly went i was very dissapointed in it since at that age all i wanted to draw was Naruto, and all they allowed me to paint was mind bolglong boring dead nature every session since i lost the will to come anymore. As a growm up i just prefer picking up tje pen and drowing what i like even tho it aint that good.

Everything mentioned here is in Marc brunet art school in greater detail … also not design to get in the game art industry is mean to learn art and you choose what to specialize in ….. teaches you foundation and fundamentals to all arts weather your drawing characters, environments , creatures even zbrush …. There’s just no better course out there with that much value for that price ❤

really inspiring , thanks !

The last character remind ne of phos for land of the lusturas

Please keep making more philosophical videos to random art footage. I can relate to the need to contextualize art via a story. I also think art (the way you pursue it) should be very finely tuned with your internal state in order for you to enjoy it. Keep oversharing!

Congrats on telling an authentic story that resonates. Take care, amazing pieces in this one. I enjoyed the video a lot. :)

Hey man, keep at it! Sounds like you have to reach a level in your skill when you don't have to think about it. When you first created art, you didn't think about technique so much and that made the process effortless. It sounds to me, that you need to reach the same level of effortlessness, but with advanced skills, so you can feel the same productivity again.

Your honesty and authenticity at the end made me subscribe.

When I started watching the video, I thought you were older because of how low your voice is but by the end you said you're only 21. Dude you're still young. Too young in fact. Don't worry too much about not being able to show your passion into art. We'll all get there in time. I think it all boils down to how long are willing to wait to be good. All the Greats you mentioned in the video, they weren't able to make their works at 21 yrs old.

i feel like this is a good video but the advice and form of the video is all over the place if that makes sense. There isn't a huge "this is why" reason on why stuff is decided on, just a singular reason- which is fine and still valid advice. But it is rather on the simpler side of why the youtuber believed the way they learned was rather helpful. Kinda still enjoyable in that aspect to see what he felt was a technique to come onto just on his side of experience

My god, if you keep making videos and art that makes your heart soar you'll be as good if not better than your cousin

Woah, the ending of this video is insane

Come to Australia.

this is cool

seeing realistic versions of anime charaters always looks bad to me

This video turned out to be a piece of art all by itself.

I'm not an artist, but this whole notion of "what was originally a mean to an end later becoming an end in itself that makes you unhappy and that you knew all along" is very relatable

PLEASE HELP HOW DO NOT GET BORED AND TIRED AND DEPRESSED SPENDING HOURS EDITING AND DRAEIJG HOPE YOU CAN PLEASE RESPOND

the painting at 16:30 is so good and kinda hit me like a brick cause you can see all the different concepts you picked up over the time. and in this one they are all at just the right place in just the right amount. for example the blur of closer objects was in some of the early paintings too, but it didnt belong there yet because the rest was still a bit janky. and the chainmail texture was used before as well but never in a framework that didnt make the texture brush stand out way too much. this skeleton infront of the headstone made me stop the video and actually just admire the painting for a minute. good work!

Oh man If I would be this good, that would be fun I would paint delicious gummy monsters taking over the word, or a prince save a princess from a terrifying fork monster, or a moon full of monster creatures with technology fighting against modern intelligent and elegant frogs or a tipical zombie horse eating a corpse, or cat gangster running from dog cops, or pumpkin mother witch taking care of her cute little pumpkin baby and a lot of other things

too good!

THAT OPENING ALREADY CERTIFIED THIS VIDEO AS A STRAIGHT BANGER ALL MY HOMIES HATE THE SNK ENDING

Ayo that ending. U lost your shit huh

My goal is to become really good with lots of work now so in the future i can act like its effortless

The problem I find with using portraits, and it's something similar to what you said in the video, is that the drawings don't end up coming from YOUR voice, and because of that they don't mean anything to you personally. Instead of using photos of idealized landscapes or beautiful people found on the internet, take your own reference images you capture in real life that personally mean something to you.

I come from photography and cinematography background. It's a great way to learn composition that is fast and fun. Maybe watch some movies and pay attention to the camera angles, etc. E.g. The Shining

hey man, i really enjoyed listening to your journey and seeing your progress. i've been hobby drawing since i was a kid, but with no dedication or real focus, and hearing your struggle and passion and commitment and uncertainty really helped me want to set a more clear path for myself. i really appreciate your authenticity here.
