Artist Homebody Becomes Curious Adventurer ☀️ The Artist's Way pt 3

[@yeppennydoodles]

Ahhhhhhh I've been saying this forever! So many artists feel guilty about taking a break from art or not being "productive" but I say that there's only so much you can be inspired by sitting at your desk working all day. Sometimes you have to go out there and do completely "unrelated" things to be inspired to make more in the long run! I'm so happy to see you & friends exploring the Valley of Fire! 🤸‍♀💛

[@snoufoxxy]

I've often thought that the current signature philosophy (like a philosophy that is going to be associated to our time when people centuries in the future are looking back in history) for us is going to be "productivity". It feels like our whole life from everyday little tasks to our work and freetime is all measured in productivity, and the normal breathing breaks we humans need are considered unproductive and a thing we need to avoid. But I don't think human brain is build to be productive at all times. These little breaks in productivity are the actual fuel to all the productivity we are demanded to achieve all the time. There really are not many totally unproductive things in this life, even the total couch-potato-zombie-mode can be beneficial to your creative process if it is what your brain needs at that moment to function better afterwards.

[@apple.cheeks]

yup! agree, part of me deep down feels like I have to prove to everyone that artists can make it and artist's are capable (because I was raised to think the opposite). And I think it just slowly manifested into only productivity and everything else will steer me away from that goal. But I'm accepting the breaks and the little moments, those are what also make us artists!

[@Mochibee-ci3ny]

I ABSOLUTELY love this series

[@apple.cheeks]

I’m SO GLAD ✨

"If you want to work on your art, work on your life." We must first have a self to express. 🌻- Sort things out you don't resonate with anymore, meaning mentally and also actually declutter your homespace 🍃

[@ChantelleArts]

I was watching last weeks and my partner started paying attention over my shoulder. When it finished he asked if we could watch the series together, so today we sat down with a pizza and watched this video 🥺 it was really cute and a lot of the words you say really resonate with us, so it really means a lot ❤

[@apple.cheeks]

This made my day, it means so much to me that he wants to watch it together with you

[@sophiaisabelle027]

We will always support you. Keep working hard as always.

[@apple.cheeks]

😘😘

[@darkcaeol]

i wanted to thank you for making this series Tiffany!! loving this so far

[@apple.cheeks]

I’m so glad thank you for watching ~~

[@holographic80s]

Your journey sounds very similar to what I've been experiencing myself. My sort of burn out has actually lasted about three years before I started to figure it out. And yes! Even though I love looking at art online, without realizing it I was comparing my art so much that it made me basically paralyzed to even think of drawing because I just felt like it wasn't going to be good enough. I wanted so desperately to change my art to something new and I just didn't even know how to go about it. Finally realizing that I was trying way too hard and forcing myself to draw things I didn't even love was a bit of a break through? I didn't even realize it at the time but when I took a couple days away from looking at art online and then went through my old sketchbooks from middle school and taking the time to kinda re-sketch them made me realize I actually have improved way more than I thought. I had way more fun drawing when it was the things I had put off for so long. Fact is is I love drawing fanart, pokemon, mlp, horses, flowers, antiques, nostalgic things, etc and I finally am feeling happier for not just drawing those things but being more free flowing with my art style rather than pressuring myself to draw like my art idols.

[@adrianhardcastle9297]

Never mind all of that - lets talk about that truck! queen of the road in that beast - built for adventure!

[@apple.cheeks]

It’s the tallest car I’ve ever sat in 😂

[@isiwol]

you won't believe how BIG my smile was, when i saw that you uploaded this part, AHHHH!! i absolutely adore this series. it makes me feel sooo inspired and happy. Your art is so beautiful and the way you film and edit all this is just stunning. keep up the great work! i'm already looking forward to part four, hehe.

[@apple.cheeks]

I'm so happy thank u!!

[@MartekkiJam]

You don’t understand how much this is helping others out there! Thank you for sharing! I love this for you and will hopefully be buying the book soon myself! ❤

[@apple.cheeks]

:') I hope you enjoy the process when you start the book! Thank u for being here~

[@haldiroot]

I really like the visual journal idea! It seems so satisfying to detail your day-to-day and big moments with doodles and also helps you explore how to draw the things you saw

[@sypherianlp]

Ok maybe I should get this book. I feel directionless, I'm between fine art, but loving all the cute things people can make with their art and of course the usual anime stuff. The motivation to do things is non existent, but now that i've watched all 3 videos maybe I should join you. I'm excited to see you grow!

[@8randomprettysecret8]

Yes! Heard this expression before. This sounds like an excerpt from the artists way. We make our best art when we experience the world around us. Your creativity is beautiful 😊

[@apple.cheeks]

🫶🏻

[@8randomprettysecret8]

@@apple.cheeks hope you had a memorable adventure!

[@ateana_lenn]

this was so lovely to watch, I caught this series by chance and I really appreciate watching it. Also, that wheel of life thing is really interesting

[@HannahBearArt]

Wow, your outing to the Valley of Fire is so picturesque! Also, totally relate to what you said about being inspired to the point of being overwhelmed by other people's art. I think taking time away from social media really helps with that (though I know that's not super practical for you, given your job). I often feel pulled in a million different stylistic directions because I'm seeing so many cool artists with different styles online. But doing the artist's way really helps you focus on yourself and your own art. I think we're on the same week, so happy week 7! I'm looking forward to part 4!✨

[@Heyits__JC]

This series is so calming and inspiring! Can't wait to see the next ep 😄

[@rachellemontoya5504]

This just gets better and better! Thanks for letting us follow you.

[@apple.cheeks]

Thanks for joining!!!

[@fuzzydragons]

12:54 that is a gorgeous place to explore!

[@maosfreshstart]

Even though I'm just watching, I felt inspired by the mountains and stars. Definitely going to visit places now :) thanks for the video!

[@augustatkinsonillustration5341]

Wow that's so adventure Tiffany!

[@Skullberries]

I love this series because it is so true, sometimes we really need to take a step back from social media and always looking at other artists for inspiration instead of finding it within ourselves.

[@kyjoraven9776]

I am LOVING this series so far! I read the Artist's Way for a creative writing class in college a couple of years ago, and it honestly changed the way I see creativity and self-love. I look forward to these videos so much now!

[@mystikmisfit]

eeee, seeing you shine is just the bees knees!! my heart is all smiley, feeling inspired watching this series

[@meanncat3050]

At this point I really want the book as well. It sounds like it might help with my motivation and such.

[@LalaLila1997]

Loving this series soooooo much, it fills me with so many emotions and inspiration. I cried seeing you on your adventure, like I could feel your heart soaring through the screen xx

[@HayleeMorice]

These videos on the Artist's Way are super inspiring Tiffany 💜

[@lightbulbnirvana]

I love this series! You are really expanding your creative stretch so positively. It's so encouraging to watch and inspiring as well. Thanks for sharing this Tiffany!

[@BriStella]

Thank you so much for sharing your journey. This series- and your videos and general, have helped me so much this past months. I definitely resonate in being fine with taking the next step but feeling lost. Thank you a lot, I really hope you the best and whoever reads this I hope something good happens to you today ❤

[@ladyamalthea85]

I'm slowly doing this too. I've been sick so week 1 has turned into more than a week, but that's ok!

[@mado868]

The shots of the park were so, so gorgeous. Thank you so much for this series, it's so inspiring

[@queenofpents3442]

Really love this introspective, reflective phase you're in right now. Its important to get quiet with ourselves and reconnect with life again. The inspiration happens naturally when we're enjoying life not scrolling down art feeds all the time. Also, you should hang up your favorite art pieces in a frame. I've done that and every time I look at them it keeps me happy. I understand the feeling of our growing your art too, finding a new style that resonates with you more will be a fun journey!

[@apple.cheeks]

Thank you :') I do feel more at peace these days than before~ I was just thinking of hanging up my art around my place! I feel like I don't nearly put my art up in my studio as much as I do in my shop office.

[@Purplesaber474]

I'm really glad I found your series since I just started week 2 with The Artist Way. It's cool to see some current feedback as someone is a few steps ahead of me. Makes me feel like I'm not doing this alone. It's keeping me motivated. 💜

[@katiebechtel9320]

I finally just bought this book. I’m afraid to start it and resonate with a lot of your thoughts in your progress videos. It’s cool to see you working through it consistently and openly!

[@brookeleebee]

i cried. ngl. what you are saying is so truthful and resonates with me a lot. thank you

[@joanneadeniyi5926]

I really like your artist way stories So meaningful

[@danslaterlierderash]

Thanks for making this series ! I’ve started the Artist’s way this week and although I’m overall excited, I’m a little anxious about how long it’s going to be and the level of discomfort I’m about to submit myself too. 😅 Having other artists like you tell about their experiences is such a help. ❤

[@marahsoore6452]

I just started the Artist Way, this will be the second time, the first I had to stop at week four because my life had taken a sudden turn. I kept up with morning pages, I really love them and tend to do them any time before I 'start' my day. Your videos are wonderful and it seems like you're taking the adventures head on.

[@CoconuTacha]

I'm loving this series sooo much!!

[@LifebyLori]

I'm on Week 1 of the Artist's Way and found your video! Love your journey!

[@isabelleb6445]

I ADORE THIS SERIES

[@marcelleblakerartistmaker1095]

I’m just a little into the video & the part you said about others work & becoming overwhelmed by it I really got. I spend so much time on Insta looking at other artists I don’t do enough of my own art. It’s actually taking up my creative time. I’m doing the Artists Way also. My health isn’t great so I try to be as consistent as much as I can but some days I just don’t feel well enough to do the pages. Thank you for this video😊🦋.

[@alexandrakrop]

i recommitted to the artists way from week one because of you & im so excited!!! 🥰

[@mystic_ryder5196]

I've been loving this series, and it's such a great way to reflect on my own artistry and life

[@peachynur]

I think i may start reading the book and trying this thing of the artist way, just because i just finished my art studios and i think it will be good for me. Thank you so much for making me know this therapy, i hope it works that well for me ^^

[@helena003]

I’m really enjoying your recent content and the meaningful messages and creativity ❤️

[@magicwendy210]

love this series, liked the part when you were talking about getting inspired by looking at own old art instead of looking at others all the time, this is something that has got me very overwhelmed lately looking at others amazing art but not feeling inspired instead it puts me off making art as l feel not good enough, thanks for the idea l will try it ☺l feel very lost and alone in my life and have for a while and l just want to say thank you for your videos as they do help, and l am sure help many others too ❤

[@marianrae]

i tried to do the artists way earlier this year and didn’t stay with it so this series has been so inspiring for me!

[@oliviavanaarde1372]

this is so wholesome 🥰

[@_amelia_1]

I'm loving this series! I actually bought the book and have started the course because of you! I'm only on week one at the moment and it's going okay but I am worried my living situation is too restrictive to get the most out of it!

[@froggygrove]

Loving this series!! I can't wait for more episodes 😄

[@vincyagain]

Let’s talk about that thumbnail it’s absolutely beautiful! And such an encouraging video for us introverts

[@apple.cheeks]

Thank you!!!

[@boundbytheseas]

I started doing this this week! I have a job other than art so Im worried i won’t be able to do some of the assignments but the book said to aim for half each week so i’m gonna do my best!

[@apple.cheeks]

just remember to not pressure yourself too much! fit in little moments in your day when you can :)

[@tajat866]

I did the whole 12 weeks in 2021 (but it took me at least 6 months :D). And you've inspired me to start again, I just started week one.

[@VeroDeDream]

I am now trying to find myself. Haven't drawn before last year in 30 + years. 😢 now i cant get enough. I tend to get bored easily and put down the what i am working on for a time. I guess when i look back i dont like my art, and feel discouraged. So this series you are doing is really helping me. I know i need to focus on one area as you said....but it is hard. I like variety. How hard is it to get out of your own head and buckle down and work?

[@mrs.quills7061]

I’ve really been enjoying this series, it makes me want to get that book. I’ve been going through a similar process of my own work and such with coaching. Also, have you considered plein air painting? If you find inspiration in the outdoors (I do too) and you want to try something other than cute style stuff (that’s what I’ve been doing), maybe you could paint the beautiful landscapes and then add your touch to it? Like you go there paint the wilderness then come home and draw some of your characters in it hiking or something!

[@apple.cheeks]

good idea! I used to do some for school, but it's been a while! I think once it cools down a bit I'll do some : o )

[@kennyrote]

This series is gorgeous and so inspiring thank you

[@themangobee.]

Wonderful and inspiring video!

[@sincerelyceline]

BEAR GRYLLS WHO?!?😂😂😂❤ the lil trip with friends made me smile so much

[@apple.cheeks]

I'm glad :')

[@Iktekenkatjes]

You've inspired me to go for a walk after watching this video :) To anyone else who hasn't been outside today yet... i get it... but i hope you go for a walk too!!

[@apple.cheeks]

Maybe not in the summertime haha! we're averaging 110 degrees F here :')

[@kiralange3820]

I listened to this book earlier this year, but just bought a copy and am working through it in paper now! It's a huge commitment, but I'm hoping it will be worth it :)

[@growinginthewordofgod8839]

I bought the book and did a few chapters, but paying so much attention to my own self made me feel really uncomfortable so I gave the book away. But watching your series made me realize that maybe it was ok to feel uncomfortable and I just needed to work through it. So I have repurchased the book.

[@mosslou9854]

the start of this video looks like youll shoot a music video 😹😹 what a car!

[@MisakiMoonwing]

When I saw your video of week 1 and 2, I immediately bought the book as well. I'm in my first week still, but I can sense I'm slowly changing. My head is a lot less crowded already. I start to listen to music I haven't listen to for a few years. And it was always my favorite, so why did I stop? I love to see your progress in this. It may have spoilers for me, but it's very interesting to see your progress in this. Thank you for sharing!

[@apple.cheeks]

I love hearing that the book is going well for you ~ :)

[@Charlotte-dy7wy]

Hi, I'm a recent follower, but I absolutely love what you do. I wanted to thank you for being very honest about how you feel and how this new challenge gets you outta here. You're blowing like a flower :) Slay ! Also, what software did you use to make these cool life graphs at 20:44 ?

[@BroganMicallef]

Loving this series so much! Also, not gonna lie, but "the last option available" just sounds like an excuse to get a monster truck 😆

[@2damecuteUK]

You can use the old disposal cameras the film is expired film. might need to be pushed in the when getting them developed. The images will probably come out very magenta.

[@apple.cheeks]

I'm excited to try it out :)

[@davidparnell3241]

Awesome

[@jele77]

Great series. It also reminds me a lot of my therapy after my huge burnout and getting later diagnosed with ADHD. A lot of your thoughts, life-challenges and experiences do resonate with ADHD in women. Maybe you wanna check that out too, it helps to become more confident in your own way of thinking and facing everything. Much love ❤

[@הדראברמוביץ]

understand you so much! I feel it every day, that I want to be someone else, someone better than me, someone more beautiful than me...actually it's you Every day I think, what would Tiffany wear? What would Tiffany do? I constantly feel that everyone is better and more successful than me, and it's frustrating. I want to be a painter but sometimes I feel so uncreative and so untalented, I am unable to create a painting that is mine, that I did not take inspiration from or copied from any other artist... I know, I'm only 14 years old but I've felt this way since I decided I wanted to be an artist. I really hope that soon, I will draw a painting that is only mine and someone...no matter who, will really love it...

[@apple.cheeks]

do it!!

[@thequietinside3201]

I love this so very much

[@lordtette]

See... now.. if I tried getting into the truck, it'd would be watching a baby giraffe taking their first steps.

[@ammyfatxolotl]

Been doing commissions for about 3 years now with almost no art for myself and it's finally hitting me. Hoping this helps me out, but it's hard.

[@הדראברמוביץ]

Thank you so much And I just want to say that Im understand you so much! I fell that I want to be someone else , someone better than me, someone beautiful than me...actually its you , I want to be just like you.Every day I think, what would Tiffany wear? I know its sound wird >_< But you really inspire me. I always think that I am not good enough, that there are better people than me. I want to be a painter but I can't create art without copying from other artists. I feel so untalented or creative, everyone tells me that I'm so talented...but right now I'm really not sure about it and it's frustrating. I really hope that I will be an artist and I will create beautiful paintings. :)
