Katsuya Terada - Life Drawing

[@rtql8d]

Beautiful message. Asking yourself "am I better than yesterday?"...that is excellent motivation to continue to work on what you're good at.

[@takitogr]

True. Thats what i do. Thats what everyone should do

[@sternleiche]

it is nothing to care about, a waste of time, an unnecessary burden

It's amazing how honest he is. Truly inspiring. Thanks for this video.

[@ArchipelDocumentaries]

Thank you for watching!

[@awsomesmasher23]

I think there's something special to be said about a channel that constantly continues to put out quality content with each new video and still find ways to make them all unique. Of course having many different people with different views and ways of life helps but even just the way the videos are shot gives the videos some style and life to them. I'm not sure if that makes sense but that's just how I feel. Keep up the great work and huge thanks to everyone who works their hardest on making these videos; they seriously brighten my entire day. And if it can be considered I would very much love to see a big project like a huge hour long documentary or something in that vein. Regardless, much love to every single one of you at Archipel/toco toco. Thanks for everything!

[@demo-pu9vx]

@@ArchipelDocumentaries Thank you Archipel for this series, this one episode in particular, Terada's point of view felt kinda close even to my experience. It made me focus on giving the right weight and value to all the time and effort we spend in our life doing what we love.

[@lisengel2498]

Very intense,, and dynamic. It made me very aware of the three combinations: observation and experience, the feeling state and the process. Katsya Terada talks about the will to draw and then trusting the flow . It is also very interesting to hear his reflections of criteria for drawing.- to remember what a place or an event feels like, to begin the drawing without a plan, just drawing each little part focused, and keep the will, perseverence and concentration in the process - and the hope to continue drawing always drawing, with the motivation to make a better drawing

燃え尽きることのない絵への執着、素晴らしいです

[@Un4eseen]

Ya que he empezado con tema de dibujo hace tiempo y me encuentro con esta joya... De verdad Aprecio DEMASIADO, que se hayan tomado la molestia de hacer los subtitulos, hacer llegar esta increíble historia de superación a diferentes culturas, tomas de escenas hermosas, el dialogo con cortes en el momento preciso, hace que te inmersas como si estuvieras sintiendo la desesperación de Katsuya Terada al querer superarse cada día, esto me deja una gran lección y es nunca rendirme... aprecio mucho este trabajo... Gracias

[@kenheard5693]

I love how he interacts with his subject matter. No decisive hesitation, I heard him the say the word flow ,which mean he feels what he sees and responds. He puts down deep soulful marks and when you step back and view his work bingo powerful. There is an America artist who’s style is different but draws with the same fluid hand using line.Walter Anderson the reclusive Mississippi Gulf coast artist read his story also. Powerful artist.

[@omalone1169]

Who is Hokusai

[@Tobazhniazhi]

I wish and hope he knows the impact and influence of him sharing his artistic journey to aspiring artists around the world. Stumbling upon this video has, in a way, rescued me from totally abandoning my true passion which is art, drawing, painting, etc. It is ironic that drawing is one of the quickest expressions of transcribing one's thoughts into the paper, and yet it takes years to master this craft, not only in the technical aspect but also in terms of concept. He probably doesn't regard himself as a role model but I find so much inspiration and motivation from his words, philosophy, and artistry. I wish him the best and thank you very much for sharing this incredible video. It is just what I needed.

[@anixy2835]

Спасибо за русские субтитры и за это потрясающее видео.Katsuya Terada действительно легендарный художник.

I was about to make a similar comment but you've already said it! :)

[@AngelaMerici12]

Indeed.

[@duantorruellas716]

I feel the same , his videos have a very special pace and mood . Very contemplative , like he is in a constant state of zen.

[@Mintzoid]

Spectacular dragon design perfect execution of the rounded tip zebra paper mckee black marker and the way he switches to the chisel tip for different parts of the drawing shows extreme thoughtfulness. Such careful attention to detail can be called nothing less but masterful. His drawing is a story worth remembering , his graceful line is like a dance shared to make the world a better place.

[@aldyshinwa]

Katsuya terada, Kim jung gi, Karl kopinski...those trio are my favourite artist

[@aexons]

This guy is really a guide for us who draw, his way of thinking is so inspiring...thank you terada to show us the path of creation.

[@JG-td3qw]

“The only way is to leave it to the flow...”

[@joelcobb5702]

To katsuya terada and anyone like him, instead of worrying think about how much fun your going to be having with your drawings going forward, also put your mental space in a place where you remember all your past work as a joy rather than a negative, truth is katsuya, your doing perfect already but you just want to keep going, develop not just a keen eye for art but a joy in what your working on, who knows that may even unclog your vision on your past works, I love all the works I have seen from your past, very good drawings, your doing well, I will get that artbook now, excuse me!

[@greedmarks7478]

Katsuya Terada is great inspiration - a man who simply want to experience new things in life rather than sitting in one room, not going out and just sit in front of computer. I admire this type of mindset. As a bonus I can tell that it's really important to remember what he said here " Although I am bored, the will to create something better than the previous one is a motivation "

[@ArchipelDocumentaries]

Thank you!

[@megtwo9016]

"am i better than yesterday?" i feel like its a question i ask myself everyday,, such an inspiration to me and also cant get over his breathtaking works,,, hopefully ill be as good an artist as him someday

[@doublehalf763]

I love terra-san's work so much! The setting and the lovely way this was filmed really enhanced that very special feeling his work conveys. So beautiful!

[@ArchipelDocumentaries]

Thank you - happy to hear you feel we could do justice to the artist!

[@duantorruellas716]

Katsuya Terada is an amazing artist who has taken the line to a personal level of nothing short of his own brand of imaginative magick. The beauty of this style , the contrast of dark and light and how it reflects the realism of the subject matter is very nice.

[@rocketman252]

Absolutely beautiful throughout - the flow and attention - such understated elegance - like a zen puzzle - yet so clear.

[@adevilscupoftea]

I don't remember subscribing to this channel but I'm glad I did. It's amazing how you guys were able to interview the man behind the name, the one and only Katsuya Terada. I've been following him for some time. His art style is so uniquely his. It was also interesting to hear him talk, as I've never been able to see him as well as hear his voice. Thank you Archipel

[@duantorruellas716]

This work is incredible , I love this detail . I have always been into illustration since I was a teen , in the days of Heavy Metal magazine and Epic magazine it was my escape from the mundane world of suburban long island. This art as well as the likes of frazetta and Bell will always have a place in my heart that takes me back to the beginning of my career. I have a love for this art that I keep sacred and I don't corrupt it with money or making it something I have to depend on to make money. It's nice to sell art to someone who loves the work , but I know for me there are dangers in this. It has to be a balance maintained and monatery expectations as well as deadlines and commissions make it hard to see the work as something other than work. That's just how it is for me , it doesn't speak for other artist. Every man or women carries they're own subconscious understanding of things .

[@johnmartlew5897]

This was wonderful to listen to. Too much confidence in what I am about to do on paper or canvas never works. Fear and anxiety have always led me to better places. It’s a personal thing, its not for every artist.

i totally understand his feeling at the end. i am constantly thinking for the amount of work i have put in i should be so much better. but then you see a guy like this who is super talented saying that. and now im questioning if im being too hard on myself because clearly he is. or am i being an egomaniac comparing myself to him? lol its torture. But his characters are so appealing. they look so 3d, the proportions are great, the hatching. i want to say it looks like a graphic novel but no, it doesnt. it looks like classic illustration. lik old school winnie the pooh or some fairy tale books from 100 years ago but blended with east asian style creatures and depiction of trees and nature. and somehow it has a nice composition even though he isn't planning it out from the start. It's awesome. I don't enjoy my own art the same way. I wonder if he likes his or if he wishes he could do what his favorite artists do. are we craftsmen or are we just a bunch of heroin addicts chasing the dragon?
