I Made ART EVERYDAY for a Month ✨ The Artist's Way pt 5

[@fionaschrader5402]

Stopped in my tracks when you said "when we can't do something it really means we won't do it unless we can do it perfectly." That's something I really needed to hear right now.

[@heyjennylee]

i LOVE that you just went out and got the basic supplies to try out jewelry making. the rings you designed and carved turned out so well! also, as a person who is nearly 40, let me assure you that it seems like we’ll NEVER be too old to take creative risks

[@apple.cheeks]

[@conifercrow]

Just a quick note on the age thing: I remember being your age (says the ancient swamp hag, apparently), and feeling that same resistance to doing new things in case I was doing them "wrong" or taking too many risks. I'd love to say I found a way to make that nagging fear shut up and go sit in a corner while I did all the things, but sadly, I did not, and I let it keep me from doing a lot of things that might have been really good for me, or really fun, at least. The good news is that once you get to be right around fifty...those fears seem to light themselves on fire and disappear like the mirages they are. I've talked to so many creative women of a certain age (ahem...mine), and almost universally, everyone says that there's a point where we just stop caring about the unimportant nonsense. We don't care if it's a risk, and we know that we'll regret the things we didn't do more than the things we did. We don't care what other people might think; we're not doing it for them anyway. We're not worried about wasting time or materials, because we've seen over and over again that even the failed experiments give us new ways of thinking or new things we've learned along the way. It doesn't help you much NOW, obviously, but when those thoughts hit you, I hope you'll remember that one day, when you're a crotchety old fart like us, all those things that you feel are holding you back are going to go the way of the dodo. Hopefully, even if they're too big to overcome right now, you'll know there really is a light at the end of the tunnel, so just keep going. :)

You’re such an inspiration to me. I’m 34 and have often began to feel like, “I’m too old to be drawing such-and-such…” My step son and my daughter are a huge inspiration to me. Both creative and both gamers. I have recently been able to tap into my inner child again and have been drawing all of the first gen Pokémon again and I’m loving it. It’s inspiring my kids to be creative as well. They get bummed about not being “as good as me,” but I told them that it took me 20+ years of practice to get to where I’m at. To keep going. Do 👏🏻 not 👏🏻 stop 👏🏻 And it is a reminder for me as well. Major kudos to my new husband as well for being so supportive of my art and creativity. We turned our massive walk in closet into a duel art studio and music studio AND library/reading room. It is amazing and I am so so thankful for his care and support. You are so so right in having a perspective shift about “being thankful for being able to have bad days,” or something in that vein. What a bumbling point of view. I’m so thankful for the algorithm (for once) for recommending your channel to me 🙏🏻 Also. I love your back-to-front art style. I want to give that a try. Colors down first and then added detail with a liner ink pen. ♥️ (Didn’t check for typos because my text screen was jumping around all weird. My apologies if something is weird or wonky in spelling or grammar 😅) Edit: I also watch Gordon Ramsays shows while I art lol That’s so funny and awesome 😄

[@despairsister9493]

this series has been so comforting as an artist post grad… makes me feel not alone in the burnout and that inspiration will always come back

BOK CHOY IS ART. I stand them up on each person’s plate. Gorgeous!!! Bok Choy 🥬 yayy

Hi Tiffany! I love how this series is going so far and I’m so happy you share this type of content with us. This series had help me to try new things in my life and don’t be scared. Thank you so much!! P.S: I love how the squirrel lies down when it see the bunny 😂😂 It’s so cute.

[@apple.cheeks]

I'm so happy to hear! This series has also been helping me, I feel like because I'm filming it I am being a bit more brave and trying new things. The squirrel is really cute hehe

[@madebykasey]

Hey girl! I live in Vegas too and I’ve been silversmithing out of my apartment here for a few years now. I took a 2 day class at the Bead Jungle taught by a guy who travels through occasionally (I believe his name is Dave Smith🤔) and he teaches you how to make a silver and stone bezel set pendant. That’s how I started out! 🤗❤

[@Wjed773]

Your style becomes more like leigh style. The neon green color and the dogs style at the end!

[@apple.cheeks]

She's definitely such a great artist, I am always inspired by her color palettes and brushstroke looseness~

[@thearcherchild]

I LOVE THIS SO MUCH!! I cried a little bit since you're so passionate about the things you want to do and I'm wishing I could be the same too. I've been procrastinating about the things I want to do since my perfectionism gets the best of me. Definitely reading and taking notes from the book. And also thanking you for making a series like this.

[@ericaroseb]

My artblock could never- 😂💀

[@apple.cheeks]

yes it can!!! i believe!

[@bribri8042]

Tell me why I read your comment as, my artcloud could never. 😅 And I thought, Aw, that’s a cute way to say an art block, a little gloomy cloud over our art making.

@@bribri8042for some reason that image made me inspired and happy so I guess it’s the opposite lol

[@Heather_inthe_garden]

Maybe you could just draw whatever you see. Like Tiffany said, she draws whatever she wants to. Art is art no matter what it is. Art is personal to you ya know? Hope this helps! 💖😊

@@bribri8042wait why is that such a nice idea to call it

[@walkingexercise5375]

Such a calming and inspiring videos! This Artist's Way series helped me find you lovely channel! While, I am not an artist this series is inspiring joy for creativity even if it is just coloring! Morgan Harper Nichols has a quote that says "may you encounter sunrises that sing to you it is not too late for you." So this series is motivating me for goal setting! For example, I could do a 30 day walk challenge including outdoor walks and KZbin walking workouts like Grow With Jo. I have been watching different planner and goals videos here on KZbin like Mariane Cresp video about her well-being planner ,Tiffany Shelton 12 week Year goal planning videos, JashiiCorrin mental health journal videos with ideas like self-care bingo, and Helen from the channel TheCoffeeMonsterzCO journal and planner videos! Kennedy from the channel Cozy K has cozy hobbies to try videos that would be nice for self-care!

[@apple.cheeks]

That's such a beautiful quote. I would love to start making some monthly goals for myself, it really gets me up and going when I do make them!

[@xinnoondaily]

I Love this! We did something similar where we live out. This video actually gave us inspiration and hope that we can still become successful, thanks so much for this video.

[@flamingoliz]

This was great, I have fallen out of habit of drawing and painting and need to get back into it. I really liked your art, especially the spread with the animals and the trees. I used to do metalwork in art school and I miss it. I did casting and made things including rings, as well as fabrication with sheets of metal. Some help- there's softer waxes out there that artists use to sculpt detailed things on top of the blue hard wax (the stuff I used was reddish pink or black in color), I think that will help you get more of the detail you're after. Take care ❤

[@mystic_ryder5196]

I’m currently waiting on my copy of the artists way to arrive, and this just made me even more excited for the continuation of my own art journey :))

THE WAY THE CHIPMUNK GOT SO FLAT LIKE A RUG

[@Themangadrawer]

I have come full circle! First time commenting, but this was the first video of yours that I watched when I discovered your work months ago, and it's the one that made me go back and watch your vlogs from the start. It's so funny to see how differently I perceive it now that I have more context but at the same time how nostalgic and lovely it is to catch up to it. This entire series about The Artist Way is so inspiring to me. I have been watching them very slowly to let everything sink in and allow myself to think about all the beautiful messages you're sharing as you went through these steps. Some day I'll do this book on my own as well, you have definitely inspired me to ❤ Thank you for being you, and for creating, and thank you for all that you do!

[@SierraLynnReads]

that squirrel at 13:58 is literally so funny. just laying there.

[@autumnsartstudio]

If you ever want to get magazines for cheap for collages check your library and see if they are selling or throwing out their old magazines. This vlog inspired me to do the artists way to get me back into writing. Which i havent done in over 10 years because of fear. 😅❤

[@apple.cheeks]

such a good idea, I would have no idea where to get some! I ended up using the ads I got in the mail to make something hahaha! I'm glad you're back into writing :')

[@tarabooartarmy3654]

I’ve also gone to my local recycling center and retrieved some magazines! They aren’t mixed with regular trash, so they’re perfectly clean. I just ask the guard on duty first. They’ve never said I couldn’t. My grandmother and I used to do this!

[@cinemavanya]

I'm no artist but I enjoy these videos of yours so much! Thank you for making them!

[@esknots]

Have been feeling very 'stuck' artistically- this video was nice.

[@lyndsayhammond6884]

I love the pages with the yellow and pink “today wasn’t that bad”. Those should be products of some kind. Sooooo cute!!

[@apple.cheeks]

thinking of making them into something one day !

You’re art is so cute! This video is so encouraging to try setting art goals. I’m hoping to try The Artist’s Way myself!

You’re hair in pig tails is soooooo cute💜

[@ClumsyFaerie]

I’m on week one I can’t decide if I like knowing what’s coming orrr not as I quite like surprises but I also love these videos! Super motivating to stick with it. I was watching tofu goob and she mentioned the book I then looked it up couldn’t decide whether or not to get it and then I came across your video talking about the same thing so had to it felt like a sign (even though I know technology just listens to you) but yeah I just got the kindle version and so far I’m enjoying it and already finding the root of my creative block (or at least part of it) it’s a wonderful realisation and I’m so excited to get to that point where sitting to draw or create just comes naturally. I really miss that part of myself. Really happy for you and that this journey is working for you! Looking forward to watching more of your videos and working along side you💚💚 sending lots of love and inspiration your way ✨✨✨💚💚

[@darkcaeol]

I wanted to thank you again Tiffany for posting this type of video!! im super stressed right now because its almost college admissions annoucement day...and your video helped my calm down

[@BirchGlass]

Oh my goodness if ever you want to learn anything about stained glass please feel free to reach out! It’s an incredible craft which has totally changed my life and I run a couple of groups where I teach people how to do it, I’m sure you’d loooove it! 😍🥰 I also did silversmithing and jewellery creation in university and would definitely be able to point you in some helpful directions on starting with that!

[@vortexofpaingrl]

I loved this especially your openness and vulnerability with things

[@largojunkie]

It's so nice seeing you so happy in yourself. This series is very helpful and inspiring. Also I love your creamic doggo spread and the bow ring design. All the best. x

[@ramengirll]

I could relate to so many things you said here.. Also it was so pleasing to watch you explore your surroundings and take us with you on your like "artsy" trips.. I'm looking forward to your next vlog!

[@tetedelacoursecafe520]

I love this series. I'm starting my own artist way this week. Today I wrote my first morning pages. I'll be recording myself, too. Don't feel pressured because of your age; you are so young! I am 39 and I still feel that I can change my life and make all the stuff I want

[@apple.cheeks]

That's so reassuring!

[@KhietDang99]

I always watch your videos every morning. When you drawings makes me relax🥰

[@yoshivist]

Creating without pressure or expectations is just the best. I also started selling my stuff last year and immediately I felt all the pressure. But in March I went to a weekend long pottery course just because I wanted to. I hadn't done pottery in like 5 years (since school) and obviously I didn't create anything mind blowing or "pretty enough to sell". But oh, man, just being able to free that side of myself and create small cups just for the joy of being able to say "Look! I made a cup! I painted it apple green, where should we put it? What should we use this for?" was like a treat to my inner child. Just creating that safe space for that little child to feel the joy of creation and, by joining them, protect them from the shame I might've also felt when I was like 6 years old and creating. Honestly, please just go to a random course because you want to tap into that craft.- Heal yourself. Remember you're an adult and you can spend money on the joy of creation - instead of "spending money in the materials to create a piece that will be useful to me in some way". (That's just kinda boring. Have fun instead!!)

[@apple.cheeks]

I love that for you!! I think one day when I get the courage, I will sign up for some classes. Vegas doesn't have too many at the moment but I'm sure something will pop up :)

[@senseisam9485]

i loved your Taiwan travel dairies that you did however many years ago. safe travels

[@Scribble_Rodent]

I can’t express how much I appreciate this series, the process that this book put you through to show up for yourself and keep up better habits for your creative mind and while my creative self is still healing I’ve been able to establish a healthy way to manage my mental health and relationship with myself and other people as well as my creativity. Your videos as well are just so cozy and have brought me so much comfort and have helped guide me through creative blocks and burnout. 💚💚💚💚✨✨✨

[@lulabelle33]

Great vlog. I loved the chipmunk playing dead for the rabbit. So cool you captured that. Reminded me how much I loved jewelry making in college many years ago. We did lost wax method. You will be great!!!

[@apple.cheeks]

Never thought I'd see something as magical as that. I'm starting to love the whole process of jewelry making, can't stop thinking about it!

[@bajaboolie]

Ooo, I’m excited for your travels! I always love Italy, but I’m going to Taiwan for the first time next year, so can’t wait to see it through an artist’s lens. My husband has been many times, but for boring high tech business trips.

[@MartaTaylor]

It’s been so nice following these videos of the artists way. Thanks for always sharing how your feeling thoughts, makes me see I’m not the only artist who so,estimes struggles 😊😊

[@apple.cheeks]

Sometimes I feel like just being an artist feels like a struggle! But it is so nice to have people relate to what I say ~

[@ShamelesslyCreative]

SO many little insights throughout the video! I was also wondering how you came up with the neon palette in Procreate? my colors even when I want them to look bright like that do not?

[@SazBerry]

I'm not sure how to phrase this and I hope it comes across correctly, but I've been following your channel for ages now and I feel like I can see such a big shift happening in you and your art lately, and it's really exciting to see! I love the direction your art is taking, and the dedication to completing the artist's way, but it's also in your style and manner. I know we only see a small portion of your life, but you seem so much more confident and assertive in the bits we do get to see! It's all been very inspiring for me and I hope you continue to feel the healing happening

[@megslowvsyew]

I’m in the first week of the artists way, inspired by your video series. It’s already made me feel so inspired to paint already, so I’m extremely grateful. I love this series, and your work! I’m so excited to see what you’re doing next!

[@dear._sky]

i have a very important artistic case study coming up that i’ve been struggling to start bc it’ll require me to make more art than i have in years in a short time span.. this video was very encouraging tho, i might just use this method to get through the fear of beginning

Oh man, it is so nice to see fellow artists from Vegas on here! You’re the first vlogger I’ve seen so far. Anyway, thank you very much for sharing your journey with us! It’s giving me motivation to get out of the Summerlin area and adventure more (I fear the parking in the art’s district lol) I’ve been struggling quite a bit lately and just ordered the book to give it a shot. Plus need to stop treating my art supplies like they’re precious… Thank you again for sharing! Your art and sketches are super cute and uplifting, by the way!

[@tiffanytsui6519]

Hi Tiffany, I really liked the video! I'm also in a situation where I am in fear of trying (not on art tho), so I found the video to be really relatable and insipring. I really like drawing and creating, so I can imagine one day I might experience art block and feeling drained of creative energy, so this video may come in handy by then. So happy that you're getting back on track of creating! Wish you the best of luck and hope that I can overcome my anxieties in life as well

[@saturnscurios]

What sketchbook are you using? The paper looks so nice and smooth for markers!

[@tarabooartarmy3654]

She said it’s Nina Cosford :)

[@lightbulbnirvana]

These series are really great. I was wondering if you might try using a heat tool for carving your wax creations? It's really fantastic that you are trying different experiments and exploring your curiosity about jewelrymaking. I did notice that the work you did with markers reminded me of Leigh's work. The difference though is you did the color first, where she would do the linework first. I hope I am not being disparaging to say the work reminds me of Leigh's. She does draw a lot of vintage ceramic pieces. I did enjoy your portraits very much. You have so much control in hand-eye coordination. You don't even lay down a sketch in pencil. I've always admired that about your skill. When you say you want to make art, what do you want to communicate to the world? What themes are important to you *politically*. There is a marked distinction between making art and doing illustration. I feel illustration tends to be more surface and less of a message, or if there is a message, it is topical, like something you would see next to a NYT article. The work serves a specific function to illustrate the topic of the article, or the story in a book. Art on the other hand, communicates on its own and is not depending on the written word to say what it has to say. Art creates a viewer. I personally feel art is more about the human condition, it's more epic and speaks to people across cultures and across time and space. In the scope an artist's work these themes are explored deeply by the artist over time. I don't see these kinds of themes in your work. If you want to do art, then consider what you feel needs to be said, what you feel you have the right to say without censoring yourself. And then in which medium is the best to say it. A suggestion would be to start looking at established artists that you admire. Start going to galleries and seeking out art magazines like Art In America. Try to see what the discussion is and if it resonates at all with you. For example, Sandi Hester (her YT channel is Bits of an Artist's Life) paints the world around her, but her work is not illustration. She is a painter and she is exploring themes that are prosaic. It may not seem political, but it is, because that is what she chooses to paint about and she is exploring these themes deeply over time. The Dutch painters in the 1600s painted women reading letters, which is also prosaic. Consider how Sandi paints, she is capable of drawing very tightly, but she chooses instead to paint loose. That's a part of her "art-politics" message. Anyway, I hope this is a constructive contribution toward your endeavors. Bravo to you Tiffany for your determined efforts to develop and grow. ❤
