Answering Questions and Doing Chill Drawings

[@rogercameron6912]

I know this VOD is a lot of them answering questions about the one schedule change and their own fulfillment, but I'm happy that they can afford to have that breathing room! 🎉

[@happenedbychance3392]

Agreed

[@Minnie_Stronni]

Glad you guys are feeling less stressed, I'm so excited for the next season of Drawtectives! Friendly reminder: Powwow's are not brainstorming sessions, meetings, or quick chats and shouldn't be used as synonyms for such. Most Powwows are huge, sometimes days long events that celebrate American, Canadian, and even Mexican Indigenous cultures and traditions. Comparing a meeting to a Powwow is like calling a kids little league game the Olympics.

[@Minnie_Stronni]

For extra context, within living memory, Powwows were forcibly and violently banned, with participants facing up to 6 months or more in jail time. It wasn’t until 1951 in Canada and 1978 in the U.S. that the bans were lifted and Powwows and other indigenous ceremonies and events were allowed to take place publicly. I'm sure no harm was meant, but we need to make sure to decolonize our language so that words like these are being used correctly and respectfully.

[@M.Datura]

I love the way the Drawfee fandom is so nice about informing people about stuff like this. Northern European here, so I have extremely little contact with a indigenous American culture, and I'm always happy to get real input from people who actually know stuff rather than people who just reiterate essentially bigotry fuelled propaganda.

​@@s_nappsConsidering I actually think a way bigger portion than we think is neurodivergent, I don't think that is neccesarily true. BUT they are very inclusive, and that's nice. (To clarify, that is, I don't think all neurodivergent people need others to directly teach them how to function - nor do I think needing that is restricted to neurodiverse people. Also I'm saying this *as* a neurodiverse person.)

[@bellamyseals831]

my gateway drawfee episode for people is “Drawing Completely Normal Cats” or “Four Artists one manga page”. normal cats has some frankly hilarious images, and “do you know what a rectangle is,” and manga page is JUST so chaotic and i reference it all the time

My favorite episode of Drawfee to show to non-internet-exposed or sheltered people (aka my Christian mother) is the "Drawfee Gets New Jobs" because i know there is barely any strong language in that one, and it's a pretty relatable one because covid

[@M.Datura]

This is not critisism, just in case my tone is a bit blunt today: How would you define "sheltered" people? I'm never quite sure what people mean by that, and it seems to differ a great deal.

[@ellio6562]

i think what people typically mean by “sheltered” is someone who has always lived in a very closed, controlled environment. when I think of someone as sheltered, Im usually referring to someone that has a hard time adjusting to types of behavior they are not used to. Sheltered people tend to react naively or ignorantly to new situations because of that lack of exposure.

[@M.Datura]

@@ellio6562 I see. I suppose my perspective views such behaviour different - to me the inability to adjust usually has to do with unhealthily rigid thinking; a learned thing, but I suppose that overlaps, as "sheltering" is often the "tough love" translation of isolating. (Where "tough love" is really just unhealthy emotional standard way of describing emotional abuse.) Possibly because I'm neurodivergent, possibly because I'm really familiar with trauma. Idk. I always find "sheltered" to have so many connotations. It's interesting to know how you define it. Sorry for prior edit. Can't do grammar today.

[@briannenurse4640]

@@ellio6562 Same. To me, "sheltered" means that someone has been prevented from seeing or interfacing with the real world a great deal by an insular upbringing. It's not a flaw or a moral failing, just a reflection of what a person has been exposed to in their life.

[@leopoldbloom4296]

One thing I'm doing to capitalize on this lull in content is catching up with the unofficial stream vod archive, and I'm currently going through the period where a) David is first introduced, b) they talk about their _one_ million creep, and make hilarious-in-hindsight jokes about how it'll only take them a couple of months after that to reach two million, c) Julia absolutely *nervous* about introducing Drawtectives for the first time, afraid that no one would like it, and d) they finally get a soundproof office. It's such a strange parallel: The pros and cons of doing Drawfee have remained pretty much the same, the only thing that's changed is _sheer scale_ (also it's really cute how shy and kinda awkward both David and Karina used to be when faced with a live audience some 5-6 years ago; they've grown so much

[@dannyfenton9529]

@@s_nappsYeah, especially with all the talk of how much extra work Julia in particular does. Creating drawtectives and handling a lot of the company’s business behind the scenes are both full time jobs themselves and she was doing that on top of doing drawfee content and streaming on her and jacobs twitch. Seems like it could drive someone to an early grave. I really appreciate all the work they’ve all done

[@M.Datura]

Sometimes I hate it, because I spend forever on my art and I *want* it to work, but at the same time, it truly is so freeing, because at some point it just, I can't fix this, and it's okay. Clean the slate, try again.

[@theodoratheunknowable]

@@M.Datura all of their advice was very helpful, emotionally. I can be pretty hard on myself when it comes to art, and I lose sight of what is important about it. As such, I've been having less fun, but I'm going to try and shift my focus and see how that goes.

[@M.Datura]

@@theodoratheunknowable Yeah. I don't actively "follow" advice, but it does push my own thoughts in a direction that makes me more happy with my art.

[@simonw560]

It's good for writing this. There are times when I'm writing an essay and I have a fact or tangent I really want to get into the main essay but it just never really fits. So, I delete my art (or copy and paste it and use it for something else). Another one on the creative writing side is merging characters together. The movie "Don't Think Twice" was supposedly double the number of main characters in the first draft but it got whittled down to six for the art of story telling.

[@Psittacus_erithacus]

35:20 This is extremely good advice, smartly articulated by Jacob and it can apply to a huge range of tasks. Certianly to creative endeavors, but really to any skill-based activity. Learning to effectively handle failure isn't really about gaining comfort with failures, but about learning to identify and properly value different kinds of success.

[@M.Datura]

I think you gain comfort with failure by seeing them not as a waste of time, but instead, like you said, reminding yourself what you learned and what you learned you need to learn. Because failure is literally just not fitting into the criteria set. Often because the criteria is too strict. Progress should be success. Attempt should be success. Especially with art. I think that is.

Re: "what drawfee ep should i show my friends" i made a playlist of the episodes i think specifc friends with like. Going with episodes that are centered/heavily discuss/feature an interest are pretty safe (anime, pokemon, poirot) Thank yall (drawfee) for taking care of urselves ❤❤

[@Chris-ib8oi]

Around the 40 minute mark theyre asked about how to deal with making stuff even when you hate your art. Theres an old Jacob drawclass where they talked about practicing and i liked how he framed it there. At least in the context of a practice, the point isnt to make good art, or pretty art, or even art you like. That comes later. When you sit down to practice, that's input into the machine that is your body, which will then take that and transform your practices and growing skill into art you do like later on. Thats not universally applicable to the issue, but at least framing it in that way has helped me to actually start practicing. I used to start something a practice didn't a lot of the time, and crumple the page up in disgust.

Thinking back, the times I've had the most fun doing art were times where I was either indulgantly drawing what I wanted because I wanted to draw it and not caring about the result, or times where I drew something to make a friend smile or feel special (fan art, depicting funny moments/interactions/dynamics, etc), and when I've given myself enough time or low enough expectations to just take my time and draw. It's harder for me to enjoy art when I'm drawing just because I want to or feel like I should draw. These are never 100% consistient like that though. That means it's probably best to understand how I'm feeling and adapt accordingly; I can identify what I don't like about my art (faces, how long it takes me, how it's hard to get started) and if I'm just not feeling good about anything then deleting my art and trying again or taking a break for now/the day is okay. Thank you for prompting me to reflect on my relationship with drawing. I don't draw often because it's hard to enjoy it but when I do it's nice and I wanna have fun with it more. I'm happy to hear the schedule shift has helped

The very first Drawfee episode I watched was the Drawing Stock Photos From Description vid with the business man in a bathtub and it must have been good if 4 years later I'm still here havung binged basically every episode in the last 6 years or so

[@andrewfleenor7459]

For introducing people, I can add a tally mark for Jacob's idea of an interest-relevant speed draw. The one friend I got into drawfee was because he's a baker and mentioned the guy Nathan drew in the Anime History episode. So I linked him that episode with the hook of basically "surprisingly I know about that guy, this is how". And then Pokemon from memory. :D

I've often found that no matter what I'm pursuing when I hit that wall of "everything is not good enough" it's my brain forcibly raising my own bar so that I have something to struggle and strive for, or more to struggle and strive for. In the process of that struggle the floor gets raised and I dont fall as low. Like putting in a climbing spike it marks a place where you dont want to fall below again, or doing a quick save on a game, as an acknowledgement that you've earned your growth upto this point and are ready for more.

[@sethbrooks7174]

per the talk of 'episode to show a new person' When I first started watching Drawfee, I came from watching for the more 'comedy' or 'podcast' angle. And the drawing challenge episodes were usually better for the bants and laughs, where as the speed draws have more focus on the art. More cool appreciation for the cool art. Of course, you never know when Julia is gonna decide to set her portrait aflame to ramp up the chaos. Anyways, when I first started watching drawfee, I was more interested in the funnier episodes and I eventually grew to love everything you guys do. SO, it goes back to the notion of 'know who you are sharing with.' Does the friend like a funny? drawing challenge/from memmies. Does the friend like a cool art? Speed draw. Edit: Ohhh, Im so excited to hear Julia is proud of the next Drawtectives! I cant waaaaiiiittt! (but I will politely, hah) Edit 2: Also, you guys have inspired me to draw more :)

Totally fair lmaoo I think - or, well, I HOPE - that it will be very helpful for people to hear that you get 2-sentence emails saying nice things that you do appreciate. Part of what drives the desire to use AI tools is definitely the feeling that the user is somehow not enough without them. (How many of us can really spell on our own, without autocorrect?? The word "occassionally" trips me up every SINGLE TIME! See, I left it in wrong, just to prove, that's how I spell it without help!) Putting the bar on the floor by encouraging "send US the prompt you WOULD have fed the AI and we'll imagine it for you!" Is a legit truly kind thing to do!
