We need subtitle please.

[@mkAYY825]

id group it all into 1 : "Draw every day" simply because it is impossible to forget, and in the effort to keep that up you tend to encounter a lot of the other points along the way.

[@emwiththefreckles]

Where can we send our questions if we're not from the USA? I'd love to send one and working for a mobile company I know LOTS of networks have high additional charges or bars that need to be lifted before you can contact the USA 😊

[@krisCrashTV]

The 5 groups are sorta Time management and discipline Self care (& social?) Getting critical towards your process and rethinking your thinking (you have a lot of stuff in this group) Motivation (& sanity?) And actual drawing advice

[@danieldeanallen]

They can be sorted into 5 groups 1. Drawing Habits Draw From Life Draw in your head Become your own critic Draw things you enjoy Remix your inspiration Make ugly drawings Draw Daily Finish what you start 2.Practice Habits: Get information from multiple sources Research, research, research Train like an athlete Break big things into smaller things Protect your most creative time 3. Work Habits: Go beyond the minimum requirements Say “No” Say “yes” Master your calendar 4. Mindsets: Think like a kid (Be Creative thinker) Patience Exercise Discipline 5. Be Social: Share what you learn Spend time with other artists

[@angeliqueroux3017]

Eightieskid thank you!

[@AuroreFolny]

Great sorting! May I propose my own take on this? :) Just little tweaks with the "Finish...", and "Protect...", because I feel it belongs more to the "work" categories. I renamed the "practice" in "learning" habits. And I added drawing from imagination because it is one of those moment when we apply what we learn. 1. Drawing Habits Draw From Life Draw in your head (and from imagination) Become your own critic Draw things you enjoy Remix your inspiration Make ugly drawings Draw Daily 2. Learning Habits: Get information from multiple sources Research, research, research Train like an athlete Break big things into smaller things 3. Work Habits: Go beyond the minimum requirements Say “No” Say “yes” Master your calendar Protect your most creative time Finish what you start 4. Mindsets: Think like a kid (Be Creative thinker) Patience Exercise Discipline Actually there is many great books from authors who tried to define these stuffs, and it looks pretty like this. :) I love "Steal Like An Artist", "Show Your Work!" and "Keep Goin" by Austin Kleon, for example. Also the 3 books by 99U are great ! #multiplesources ;)

"Truths come in contradictory pairs." Great quote by Marshall.

[@Maxflay3r]

1. "Truths come in contradictory pairs" 2. "No they don't"

[@AL-ck3hg]

Yup, actually wrote that down next to a doodle in my notebook.

[@fluidfox1436]

It seems true though

[@spacejunk2186]

If both are true, how can they contradict each other? I feel like this is ignoring context.

[@ryanmoran6320]

Well the truth is truths, sometimes, come in contradictory pairs. But that doesn’t sound as cool.

[@jessicamoreno1303]

I actually listen several times each podcast while I'm working on my drawings and stuff...it's the cheapest option to absorve every second of pure knowledge and art related data that you guys provide on every chapter. I also take notes and screenshots of the books you recomend. I'm literaly taking this podcasts as free art lessons! Saludos desde Argentina!!

Hey guys, we love the long format of the podcast. Don't feel the need to go quickly even though the list is long. I like hearing you elaborate on the reasoning behind the tips, it helps me 'see' the point. Advice without context is just a sentence.

[@foxfiretattoo]

My favorite habit is for procrastinators, called "the ten minute try" force yourself to work for ten minutes, if you're still not into doing it~ then give it up for now but, almost all the time you will go for a longer period of time. Marshall's advice for the aspiring tattoo artist was great (Having been one for 20+yrs) and another piece of advice I may add is to study how the art changes over the course of time. I love this podcast and look forward to it every week!

[@fullanalysis93]

That's a great tip, thank you.

[@469travel]

Thanks I needed this

[@tmerk4292]

This is probably the tenth time I've listened to this episode alone. Just thought I'd let you guys know how valuable and timeless your content is 💯💪🤓

[@ProkoTV]

Thank you!

[@christopherconklin3714]

I've become completely addicted to this show. In regards to this episode I wanted to share something a painting teacher said to our class many years ago (this is in regards to the 'make ugly drawings' habit). Alex Martin said, "No one in this room is going to make a masterpiece. Myself included. So get that out of your head. Get it out of your head and just paint. Once you realize that nothing - NOTHING- you do in this class will be great, you will open yourself up and be able to grow. And that's when masterpieces can happen." Also, thank you so much for doing this show.

[@Clarevoyant_Witch]

Marshall, I'm glad you said yes to the podcast.

[@Marcotonio]

I would summarize them into three: - Discipline: includes sticking to your goals and having patience, as well as having the rest of your life under control; - Conscious decisions: mindful practice, researching the subject, taking or refusing jobs. seeing projects through; - Remember your goals: this one speaks for itself. Keep them always in mind and prioritize them.

[@stumoss4838]

[@lisamariebee6561]

I feel so blessed to be an artist in this time in history when so much knowledge is so easily available. I grew up in an era when I'd be lucky to catch a bob ross episode .

[@Gabe_HappyFeet_Tucker]

Man you are certainly a person I really really appreciate. For everything incredible I have learned from watching and listening to you in your videos. Which have all equally resulted to be fantastic for any pursuiting artist. Thank you for demonstrating all of these skills and techniques. TY TY TY

[@jodij.8074]

I would do 4 categories: 1) experiment and learn {draw in your head, train like an athlete, ugly drawings, draw daily, say yes, draw from life, think like a kid} 2) stay motivated {draw things you like, remix inspiration, patience, multiple resources,break big things smaller} 3) set your standards {go beyond minimum requirements, discipline, finish what you start, master calendar, say no} 4) don’t become isolated {share your learning, spend time with artists, exercise}

[@partypao]

I'm going through depression... But thanks to listening to this Ive being able to cope. Thanks Marshal and Stan.

[@JeremySCole]

AHHH THE LEYENDECKER IMAGE AS THE TITLECARD perfect! Your videos/podcast have been very motivating and encouraging, thank you so much for experimenting with this format!

[@seothis640]

One thing I might add is trying different artistic disciplines. If you're any type of 2D-artist try doing some sculpting on the side. You'll have to figure out how muscles look from every angle instead of just the one you're drawing. Another thing I'd suggest is learning some rudimentary 3D rendering techniques and terms. It's really great when you get to see how stuff like ambient occlusion, subsurface scattering, and specularity affect your scene/object without having to focus on your craftsmanship as a painter/drawer. You'll also have new words for some of the things you'll observe when you're drawing from reference or imagination later!

[@shanexhall]

49:32 when I study anatomy I alternatively watch Proko and Athlean X and lift weights. One hand washes the other and since doing so I’ve gotten way stronger and more flexible while at the same time getting 100% better at drawing anatomy

[@ryanhendrix6610]

Guys, most ppl are struggling to get enough content together and avoid silences, yet you tried to blast through all 23 habits. Each of those 23 could provide an entire episode of elaboration along with conversational tangents.

[@abianvalido]

Hi, Stan and Marshall, I love your podcast! I have sorted the list into 3 categories: *Stay Motivated:* 1. Draw things you enjoy 2. Make ugly drawings 3. Get information from multiple sources 4. Think like a kid (out of the box) 5. Patience 6. Share what you’ve learnt 7. Spend time with other artists *Do the homework:* 1. Draw daily 2. Draw from life 3. Draw in your head 4. Train like an athlete 5. Break big things into smaller things 6. Exercise (mens sana in corpore sano) 7. Remix your inspiration 8. Go beyond the minimum requirements *Have your own projects:* 1. Master your calendar (set goals and make a weekly analysis) 2. Protect your most creative time 3. Discipline 4. Say “No” to some projects (remember you goals) 5. Say “yes” to experimentation and challenges 6. Research, research, research 7. Finish what you start 8. Become your own best critic I hope you find it useful. Thank you for the podcast and the good advice.

This is one of the most authentic dialogues between an educator and an entrepreneur. It is as clear as a mirror. One can see himself and relate to the points discussed in this podcast. Hopefully they will find a way to promote this to a larger audience. Thank you!

[@JohnSmith-hm7rb]

Keep it awkward. More entertaining. Gives similar vibes to Norm’s podcast.

[@Cinderspark9]

It makes it feel a bit more attainable and approachable, like these amazing artists who are now teaching others are just weird goofballs. They're not the sort of people that you have to lose all your childish tendencies to count yourself among them.

[@franciscodpaixao]

Hey I was thinking about the voicemail from this week about drawing on a curve surface, a good exercise I trought was to draw in a piece of wood, like a hashi (something bigger would be better), which has cylindrical shape, it may seen difficult to draw on a piece of wood but it's not really that hard, you could look for a cylindrical chair's leg, a vase or a bowl and just erase the drawing aftewards, if you only have one piece, try to get a piece without varnish otherwise it would be a bit difficult to draw into it (at least in my litle experience). Another option is to make a drawing on a paper and attached to a round surface, so you can see how it would look or even draw on the paper instead of the wood. You can go even further, like grabbing a piece of thick cloth and wraping around this round surface to simulate the given of skin. Or even, paperboard box. I hope I was of some help. Great podcast by the way, it's realy fun, just as Marshall's `THING`, it gives the desire to watch again and again and forever on. Thanks for the content.

[@henseltbrumbleburg3752]

I wish they didn't limit their time. I love listening to this podcast and could listen to it for hours. Plus I think most people draw while listening to it, it absolutely flies by.

Proko, I fell in love with you the moment you said the word "scrum". I learned agile methodology while working as a UX designer at an e-commerce company, but it's application would be incredible for artists. I am currently working on applying it in my own practice!!

Oh my God the comment about Ray Bradbury. One of my favorite authors and it was a nice surprise to hear Marshall casually mentioning this detail about him. Love this podcast.

[@zacharyhorvath3615]

Around the 50 min mark, I really related to Marshal talking about doing 80 hour drawings and having someone tell me that I'm basically insane. My favorite medium is pen and ink, and I have on numerous occasions turned a doodle into a 4 month drawing made up of stippling and cross hatching. I would become so invested in these projects that I wouldn't want to let them go because I was afraid of having to start something new. For this reason my mentor has had me working with graphite more which has been really freeing and although I still get lost in rendering, I finish my drawings in about 2 weeks now and can move on more freely

[@leslieaharden6183]

Thank you. Made me wish that I artist friends! I love the two of you - complimenting contrasting each other.

[@smokenspirit]

My favorite habit for success is watching and rewatching the Draftsmen podcast while I work. Whenever I need a break, I go back to highlights like Stan dropping "Destiny's Child" in slow mo.

[@vadkline]

one thing i want to add to the voicemail, ive seen tattoo artists practice on fruits/veggies so you can practice tattooing on a curved surface. you probably dont need a tattoo machine to do this, you can probably carve, ink, draw, etc on it to practice on a curved surface, really useful stuff.

[@verazgonik]

1. Think about what you draw; before, during and after (research, draw in your head, get info. from multiple sources, remix inspiration, break big things into smaller, be your own critic) 2. Practice regularly and intentionally - how and when (train like an athlete, protect your most creative time, patience, draw daily, draw from life) 3. Enjoy and Don't worry about the outcome (think like a kid, draw what you enjoy, make ugly drawings, also draw from life (as worrying about how it would turn out is the thing that usually keeps us from not doing it;)) 4. Arty life beyond drawing (do more than expected (beyond min. req.), share what you learned, spend time with artists, exercise) 5. Be picky and reliable (say yes to the right things and no to the rest, finish what you started, discipline, calendar)

[@brooklynbabydoll718]

I miss these two together talking about art. Please come back together!

[@serencian1480]

Powered through every delicious minute of this video and all I can remember is "scrum" P.S. Like Marshall, I reread books over and over. I find new things everytime and get into certain mindsets that I thought I've forgotten. It's fun.

[@TrevonTheoriesInc]

The 5 Categories I have are Develop Your Skills, Manage Yourself, Be Creative, Develop Your Qualities, and Be Social: 1. Develop your Skills * Draw From Life * Draw In your head * Train like an athlete * Draw Daily * Get information from multiple sources * Research research research * Make ugly drawings * Draw things you enjoy 2. Manage Yourself * Master your calendar * Break things onto smaller things * Protect your most creative times 3. Be Creative * Think like a kid * Remix your inspiration 4. Develop your qualities * Become your own critic * Go beyond the minimum requirements * Patience * Say "No" * Say "Yes" * Exercise * Finish what you start * Discipline 4. Be Social * Share what you learn * Spend time with other artists I think they break in well in these ways. You can even put the smaller archetypes into one episode. Or add them to episodes with the bigger archetypes.

[@rosaparadiso5299]

Marshall was reading my mind. Please have a full episode on training. I feel I now know how to train like a basketball player. Thanks Stan. But as a self training artist, I do feel confused sometimes if I am doing it right or can do it better.

[@krisCrashTV]

"Take breaks" I don't know about 6, when it comes to actual drawing, some of my art friends are real good at zooming in on the small things - but when it comes to managing a project then yes, absolutely. And uh, as someone who has worked in production... I don't know about going beyond minimum requirements - make sure you keep your deadline.

[@kaleemasilon8919]

Take breaks a great one!

[@magiuspendragon]

So Marshall, I'm not a huge scrum person but here's kinda how I break it down. I've seen it mostly through software development in an effort to keep things flexible in the face of shifting priorities and requirements. The idea I've heard is to scope your tasks in a 2 week sprint (as Stan called it), around something that will be visible output, so that you can reflect & review it (with the rest of the team and any external people), in the same way you were talking about the schedule. The daily cadence is around having the meetings that he didn't get around to discussing, where you talk about what you've made progress on and what's holding you up so that you can figure out how to help other people move along and keep the teamwork flowing. Maybe that'll help, maybe other's'll disagree.

[@petervalcanas4219]

Don't allow your mother to critique your art. lol They always will tell you its beautiful. My mother does and I know I'm not very good but like to draw and I'm okay with that.

[@sleepingcity85]

Success is for me to switch my brain in some kind of automatic while drawing. Im so deep into it while drawing, that kind of mental state is my success. If other ppl like my sketches, i feel good but not more or less successful.

[@phoebeglobe483]

Sorry I'm not going to answer your end question..what i want to do instead is comment on your voicemail answer by telling you some of the cross over I've used from other arts and crafts to art. I've put paint in a icing bag and piped it, used gum arabic from cake dec where its used as a glazing agent to bind my own softpastel and also reversed that by using the gum arabic with powder food colour and honey to make edible watercolour and paint on cakes. I've also used makeup brushes to paint, eye shadow applicators and pieces of pool noodle to blend softpastel charcoal and pencil and mascara brushes to paint texture. Ive used a nail cleaning tool for sgrafitto and a blush brush as both a mop brush for watercolour and to brush off my eraser crumbs when i draw. A teacher advised me to use prestick instead of a kneadable eraser and it works great. Cake dec flower tools are great to sculpt with and cookie cutters and silicone moulds make it easy for repeat patterns... Thanks for a great show ..love it.. keep it up!!! i agree with all your 23 and I must say teaching HAS really helped me with my own work... lots of love from South Africa!

This was such a good episode for me. Two points hit me hard. #2, Draw In Your Head. I love this. I do this all the time, and it's such an important part of my process. And #21, Finish What You Start. Stan hit the nail on the head with this. I get really excited about big new projects, then burn out halfway through. Doesn't happen often, but anytime I fail to deliver on a promise, it stings. I need to make my promises more realistic and commit to their completion.

[@jimpapaioannou7396]

I'm saving your quote Marshall "Truths come in contradictory pairs"

[@WaSiLLy63]

Staying focused by removing/ignoring/replacing recognized distractions.

[@nickpalmerarts]

'Think like a kid' to me, reminds me of approaching something with 'child-like play' and strong desire to learn and asking questions. It is about reminding yourself to be free of judgment - to be innocent and fun and playful. It means to be experimental and demonstrate unlimited creativity (solving problems in an endless variety of ways), interest in everything around you (learning new things), and playfulness with ideas and techniques (having fun with the entire process). Good rule, I'd say! Kids think in all sorts of ways (without judgment and fear of criticism) and that is having endless creativity.

Success sis actually one of your habits... Success is a piece that's finished, whether you like it, whether you sold it, or not...if its not finished, yiu can't really decide whether you like it, nor can you genuinely sell it, as you're not able to say its a finished thing to be sold... That's how I would describe success, on a piece by piece basis, a body of work, a project, whatever... Just finished is a rare success in itself... For me at least.

[@TheCocoaisCongealed]

Revision of the list of habits. How and What to Draw 1. Draw from Life 2. Draw in your Head 3. Draw Things you Enjoy 4. Draw Ugly Things (there is a leonardo da vinci quote on the importance of drawing ugly things) 5. Draw Daily (remove point 11. Patience, and incorporate it here or remove this and put general patience elsewhere; also this can be put alongside 5. train like an athlete so either remove 5 or put it elsewhere and remove draw daily) How to Think about the Process 6. Research, Research, Research (remove 4. Get Information from Multiple Sources and talk about it here) 7. Become your own Critique 8. Break Big Things into Smaller Things 9. Think like a Kid 10. Remix your Inspiration (aspects of 4. might also be better put here too) General Aspects of Learning that can be Implemented into Art (maybe shorten this title a bit hahahaha) 11. Protect your most Creative Time (I personally find the name to be a bit confusing. I would change it to something like "Work at the Best Time for You" or "Draw at your Peak Hours") 12. Spend Time with other Artists 13. Know how to say "yes" and "no" 14. Exercise 15. Discipline (remove 23. Master your Calendar and put it here. Benjamin Franklin's Autobiography has a good bit on discipline and a lot of depth on calendar making you can quote from) A lot of these points could be put into the other categories listed but I tried to put these points into the categories in which they have the most relevance. Hopefully you can at least get some ideas from this, and I was in some way able to help :)

[@timowthie]

I actually listen to these podcasts multiple times.

[@mitchvfx]

In case this hasn't been answered yet, Scrum is referring to Agile Scrum. Agile comes from software engineering, but has been embrased by many other fields to help with productivity. The term scrum is not an acronym. It comes from Rugby, where the "huddle" is called a scrum. So Marshall, look up Agile.

[@seanluke2992]

I wanted to add to the advantage of multiple sources. Sometimes the way an instructor or instruction book explains a topic doesn’t semantically click with you. Hearing it in a different way might allow you internalize the info.

[@truckingpix]

This is my second time I go from E01 through all episodes. Repetition indeed... same with the tutorials, doesnt hurt to go back to basics and remind yourself where skills came from...

[@chayemor]

Agile methodology is great and could even be applied to personal activities. The nice thing is that one can always adapt it to ones own needs. For aboard, I use Trello (it's free, I know it's "kanban style" but you mold it as you wish) and keeps things organized. You can even share boards with clients and make up your own columns so that they know what you are up to without wasting emails of "are you done yet?". :)

[@Perepeteia]

YES TO EXERCISING TO GET BETTER AT ANATOMY.

One more that is needed in there is: Make DELIBERATE REST PERIODS - Short (15' between 1-1,5h sessions), Long (one day off every 7-10 days) and Extended (a week off every 2-3 months) and you'll NEVER BURN OUT!!

U senpais kinda blew my mind w/ that list. b/c 90% of those lessons are useful for Life in general.

Marshall is awesome Like a wise old sage Love these podcast

[@paulinerod2099]

It's was a really enjoyable podcast. Personally I just try every medium and every technic I can. You need to be curious about the tools, and then you will find what is most useful for what you want to do.

[@geraldmanansala8539]

An HOUR of Marshall and Stan giving advice? Is this paradise?

[@eliannevdlinden6047]

I think I draw more in my head than actually draw hahahaha. I can just look 15 minutes at a glass and look just how the shadows fall and where the light reflects and how I would draw or paint them, meanwhile my mom is looking very concerned because I’ve been staring at my tea for so long.

[@FontenlaAndres]

I want to know more about the "Liberace" sequence! Haha great video guys as always!

[@CoCoComet]

I don't know much but I think it's tied to the rhinestone ratio

[@harveydent1731]

I don’t care about selling or what other consider good(not too much anyways ). I just want to like what I make and impress myself , that is what success is to me.

For the voicemail leaver re:tattooing, there’s a book called reinventing the tattoo by guy aitchison that specifically addresses composition on the human form, it’s an amazing resource if you can track it down

[@KaterynaM_UA]

Speeding the video up made wonders for me. Gotta say as much as it's pleasant to listen two nice people being totally at ease with each other, the amount of time wasted on pauses, jokes and tangents make it hard for me to watch and learn something productive from it, I just zone out all the time.

[@CarolynsArtAdventures]

Remember that practice makes permanent, not perfect. If you practice badly, you'll learn badly.

[@FJRamosArt]

The intro banter is entertaining.. "Home is where the fart is."

[@sharit7970]

Great content and insight...I was taking notes! Thanks so much for posting! : )

[@omarmega4093]

Sometimes I cant even remember what was in the video but it gets me Drawing. Sorry but thanks

[@Validechos]

The part about breaking things up, I can say that when I begin to understand let say photoshop, looked big and daunting trying to figure out how to just tackle using the program. Though once I started just pulling it apart I.e. learning about all the bells and whistles...bit by bit I was like" This isn't really that hard all things considered." Just have to approach it in stages as I've come to understand it.

[@kaleemasilon8919]

Wow, I think Marshall explaining the "Do sloppy drawings" was awesome. Like that hit deep with me. I'm such a perfectionist, and I'm already my own biggest critic, haha and I've really been practicing the mentality of knowing that it's okay to have some sloppy drawings. I think it's my biggest downfall right now

[@IIAmyII]

i love this episode .. sooo useful.. waiting for more!

[@Handsomeartist]

This is the best podcast ever, thanks to Marshall!
