Becoming an art youtuber

Hi, I know the camera shakes a bit forgive me ;w;
anyway, I know it's a shorter video but sometimes I like to keep it to the point.
I made this video also for myself as a reminder to keep trying; and maybe help someone else get motivated!

The internet is so mean to beginner artists and the ones that aren't "good enough." I definitely relate to this

[@CrystalPrism]

Yeah trying to make stuff to a level that you're 100% happy with it's going to be hard to post anything, I go by the 70/30 rule, as long as i'm 70% happy with something I post it. Glad to see you still having fun and making stuff!

[@lemonandlimes]

I'm trying my best to make things more constantly rather than posting every 5 years it's so hard

[@CrystalPrism]

well i'm watching the how to find your art style video now, but the shorter video did make it easy to just watch and not set a time to watch it. I remember seeing the 22 minute video but just added it to my watch later bc i didn't have the time and then i forgot x.x @@lemonandlimes

[@anacatarinaramos]

Just here to say, that's a very cool mindset(the 70% happy with), I should show it to my sister, cuz i really like her artworks and ideas, but she never post much cuz she says it's not that interesting or "100%", and i hate it telling her that she should post it cuz it's sound like I being too pushy and I know it's not up to me, but come on girl you're more cooler than you think (does someone relate to that? Having a friend that have a lot potencial, but they always so insecure(and kinda lazy/procrastinators)that drives you a little bit Crazy)

[@CrystalPrism]

Oh yeah my sister does the same thing, doesn't want to show her art to anybody because it's not "good enough" and she's finally started to relax and show people her art because she plays D&D now and she wants people to know what her characters look like xD @@anacatarinaramos

[@LannyLeArtist]

People do indeed still make animation memes.

[@sketchesofshay]

this is so true!! I kept myself from pursuing a presence online because I never felt like my art was good enough, and even as an art youtuber now I still struggle with never feeling good enough or ready. yes your skills do have an appeal to your audience, but it's really your personality and the stories you share through your art that shine through! and with posting consistently to an audience, it ultimately leads you to improving your art (if your content relies on your art). wishing you the best in your journey lemon!!

[@lemonandlimes]

Thank you!! I've been watching your videos for awhile I'm hoping to go against my perfectionist thoughts and keep pushing

[@BanditCatArt]

0:23 - Agreed! Personally, I like seeing peoples' early work, it can be helpful and inspirational to see that everybody starts somewhere! Seeing the progress that can be made, and how it other people develop their skill is a big part of what motivates me! So I definitely think that it is never too early to share your work.

[@lemonandlimes]

Omg yes seeing someone's growth or even their creative process is something I love to see :)

[@Jupiisaway]

i relate heavily to this video so much - i always find myself saying that ill do something once i am good enough, but there's no "perfect" time to start, you just gotta do it !

[@lemonandlimes]

I know right? We spend so much time preparing researching rather than just doing the thing we want ;w;

[@Sixsen1113]

0:47 I can relate to this sooo much, I've always wanted to make animation memes when I was 11 but I wasn't satisfied with my skill level, I wish I started posting much earlier but it's better now than neverr! (T v T)

[@lemonandlimes]

Exactly just go for it I was worried I'd be too cringy my mentality now is "I may be cringe but I'm free"

[@snailsdraws]

I used to think that same way too, i still do sometimes. Perfectionism is every artist’s upbringing or downfall💀🍓

[@knives.3733]

Aw! As someone whos been itching to get into art content creation I appreciate videos like this. Its hard getting started, but we all start somewhere.

[@speraartwork7667]

I feel you, personally I get discouraged because I feel like my videos are not interesting or entertaining to watch ! Nice drawing tho, keep going !! ✨💖

[@notaurea]

Your OC is so rad!

[@lemonandlimes]

The drawing is from Pinterest but if you mean my little guy in the corner thank you!

[@DaPyo-is-a-twink]

2:20 ✨time to change that✨

[@jrcandle]

This is exceptionally relatable, I was under the pretense I have to get good before showing anything or else it wouldn't matter. Currently I'm still fighting this battle day in and out. I realize the only way something has a chance is if I do it? Even if its not received by a grand audience, I should focus on being happy I did it. Thank you for this beautiful video that will inspire artist to start or pick stuff back up. I can tell your going to go tremendously far you got this ✨

[@waddiwasu9262]

Heres a prophecyyyyyy, ur gonna get viral if u keep up being consistant!

[@lemonandlimes]

I hope so >\\\

[@Ravenwhine]

I'm struggling with that mindset, not art-wise but rather with editing videos/the making of. I have no clue how to do it right yet and am still learning but it's a pain in the ass, not to mention voice-overs/talking which I majorly struggle with.

[@skoork]

i'm on the same path as well trying to build a following, i'm glad to see youre putting yourself out there as well. keep trying!! you got this

[@Zaiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii]

This is- so funny that KZbin recommended me this, for about 3 years Iv always wanted to make animations and webtoons and stuff like that but I am currently 13/14 and thought I was too young to even start. That, alongside when i draw it just never makes me feel.. “joy” because it didn’t seem good enough to post online. Iv never ever posted any of my art online since I was always afraid of what people would say as criticism. And I finally have some courage to possibly start. Yeah I have A LONG way to go lol, but! I’ll never know till I give it a shot right! So thank you! New sub!

[@nazmangaka]

I was actually thinking about starting an art channel so this really helps! And I do the same thing too where I think I need to improve first before I can start posting and then my art will blew up like crazy, a boat load of likes and comments but not everyone who has great talents has crazy likes too like what you said. Thank you, I'll make sure to always keeps this in mind! :D ALSO, I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE YOUR CHANNEL BLEW UP AAAAAAAAA ‼️‼️‼️ YOUR ART IS SO GOODDDD‼️‼️‼️‼️💯💯🤍🤍

[@77blurry84]

yea ive been dealing w this mindset for a while now, nice to see im not the only one lol

[@MegaC12]

The more that i improve the less views i get, i literally got zero views. cannot relate to this video. it's all about who you know online and if your apart of that friend group. this are just my opinions, great video btw

[@Dae4rlove]

Keep pushing thru also the art in the background is mommy chefs kiss

[@fragmented_foxy]

Bro! I relate to this on such a personal level. I also wanted to make animation memes and said the say things to myself.

[@Eeok]

Holy crap, I love your voice , its so comforting!

[@lemonandlimes]

Ah thank you :3 I was worried I was too boring

[@zir0nyx]

You just like me fr.. i hope to see you on the other popular art side!!

[@TheCurseofGatau]

I like your art style very much. Consistency is king here from what I understand. Sketchbook tours are always fun to watch, and redrawing old art can be very entertaining to watch. Your art is amazing. I'm sure you'll do well.

[@lemonandlimes]

thanks for the tips >:)

[@Pongocity.]

Back in march of last year I started uploading art videos on my TikTok and they went very viral with like millions of views and I remember feeling very pressured to keep uploading my art and animations consistently. I felt that the amount of attention my videos got was equivalent to the quality of my art and it grew into a very unhealthy habit. I think the best thing you can do as an art content creator is do what makes you happy and know that art shouldn’t stress you out. (I’m just yapping at this point but yeah. 😭)

[@lemonandlimes]

Omg I know what you mean I got some views on tiktok for making funny memes but when it came to actually making the art no one really cared imo I think it's better to create what you like and hopefully people find enjoyment in that ❤

[@pinkie_draws_stuff]

This is really good advice! I want to become a art youtuber but my inner perfectionist is preventing me from doing much. Eg: I really wanted to do animation but I was convinced for the longest time that you had to know anatomy and be good at proportion in order to be good at animating but I’ve realised that’s not always the case. They are thing you have to learn sure but the only way to start is to.. well.. start! Which might not sound helpful but that’s the only way you’re gonna get good! If you don’t feel confident posting your art online, try drawing privately. Once you feel confident, go post! Numbers and perfectionism still effect me but I’m willing to try more things and not worry so much! 💖✨

[@eurikaileidoscope9786]

Wow your art style is so fantastic! I wish I could draw like that hehe. Great video, and I do relate to not having "godly" art skills. You're definitely someone who know show to articulate their thoughts. I aspire to be like you when I become an art youtuber.

[@DryShrimps]

Good luck in your youtube career ❤ I believe you'll be very popular soon

[@lemonandlimes]

thank you i hope so!

[@Beboobabo]

I love your art and personality please post more on KZbin

[@InvasionAnimation]

I think your channel is going to go far, great video!

[@fly1ngf0x]

i feel it T^T im beginning an animation series and i recently uploaded a trailer for it,, god the algorithm feels like it just wants me to be in my own lil corner. promoting my ideas to the audience i want - lgbtq+ folk who like drama and horror element stuff with discussions about morality and criminology... its like imposssible aaa ,, my big dream is to have a fandom of my own, smol or nott

[@rawrxd6652]

I think the format that you use for your videos is really enjoyable! Can’t wait to see you gain a decent following!

[@lemonandlimes]

I'm so glad you liked it I'm unsure if people prefer me recording using a screen recorder or my camera :?

[@reverie-xiii]

your art is lovely !!! I’ve been trying to be an art youtuber for about two years now, and my lil advice it’s good to keep going, no matter what you put your mind to, you can do it !! keep going

[@skynixart]

Can't wait to see what kinda content you end up making!

[@luciaainsanity]

why does the drawing look like an older version of me 😭😭😭😭

[@SherbertTheSherb]

Woah your content is so underrated and so high quality!!! Amazing art and video. I get being an art KZbinr being hard, I post my art here too and I get scared when I create bad art and I haven’t posted in a while. I stopped caring and just learn to love my art a bit more and notice what I can improve on but don’t hate it totally.

[@lemonandlimes]

That inspiring to hear it's easy to get our self worth caught up with social media engagement

[@lacerationally]

your video's actually really inspiring to me, and I can relate--more or less. a little while ago I was just telling myself, "No, you can open up commissions when your art is *good*," and that was really demotivating, so just a little bit ago I decided to just go for it, and I got way more people commissioning me than I expected. (side note, especially love the way you use lineweight 👍)

[@Idatetheorca]

Your art is great! Don't give up!

[@thamitirando]

I lost my main account on twitter recently, and made a new one, basically I am starting from zero again. It feels really lonely to post something and get nothing more than 1 like or something. But, welp, that happens! Maybe it'll work someday or another, and your video showing up to me is a good sign! Happy to see you are having fun and making content like this. (sorry english is not my main language)

[@lemonandlimes]

i definitely feel that i never get many interactions on twitter unfortunately but im trying to explore new social medias to find what works for me (dont worry your english is good)

[@kingtokkii]

As someone who really struggles with perfectionism, especially with my art, this helped me realize a lot of things and really inspired me. Thank you!!

[@CharlieRagnarok]

I love this drawing-- thank you for sharing this :)

[@rhithecapybara]

Love your art. I’m a new subscriber and i can relate so much to this

[@Yalakaak]

You are so real wth 👏👏👏

[@Kalitayy]

Meritocracy is a myth. In this world, the most successful person is not the most talented or the best artist, animator, or whatever. It’s the best salesperson who is outspoken about what value they provide to this world. No one cares about the guy who tells the joke first, the spotlight belongs to the guy who tells the joke the loudest. It’s never about how good you are, but it’s about how you provide value to people. It’s not enough to become an artist, you have to become a creative entrepreneur.

[@ashy_inking1476]

I love your art

[@Draconicrose]

Good message, cool character!

[@user_PaperClop]

I liked and subscribed, I like you and your channel-this was interesting :)

[@valeriavazquez4995]

Leaving a comment so the algorithm puts you more in the spotlight. You have a very good art so keep going on! :))

[@Keir-art]

YOU'RE ART IS AWSOMMEE, I do kinda want to share my art but yeah i dont think its good anough and im kinda embarrassed about it, so i havent started that yet. I think my art has been progressing very slowly... mostly because i dont have the motivation to draw (i dont have alot of motivation because i keep thinking "oh, my arts terrible. I dont feel like drawing, ill watch a few tutorialsand see if that helps" then i go back to my art and compare it to the tutorials... yeah not that great) but i REALLY want to improve, so ill keep trying. Ty :)

[@Voltergeist]

I've been at it for a while too, and just started back consistently making videos. I talk about a similar thing as you in an upcoming one, but i also started with animations. I don't think im an art youtuber. But i am an artist ON youtube, just documenting my progress first and foremost. I realize my type of videos don't hit. But youtube is mostly a hobby to me. Id rather have a few people who genuinely like my work watch my vids than a ton of people who dont actually care. Good luck with your channel!!

Oh this is such a relatable video, :,) I waited so long to actually start posting stuff cause I felt the same (and still do!) Anyways, your art looks really good! C:

[@lemonandlimes]

Sometimes we just gotta say "f- it lets just do it" to get over our self doubt

[@nevidomuypatison7452]

I feel like you just described my experience... I wish you good luck with growing your channel, your art is truly amazing!!

[@itsmaovinnehere]

thanks for making this video, I want to make a new art youtube channel too, it's nice to know I'm not doing this alone.

[@lemonandlimes]

For sure I know you can do it!

[@Fishy9116]

For real. Reminds me of my younger years as a digital artist at Chicken Smoothie. We don’t talk about that yall. 💀 But growth is important when it come to art.

[@lemonandlimes]

I have never heard of chicken smoothie until you mentioned it is it like deviant art?

[@Fishy9116]

@@lemonandlimes I mean uh, if I remember correctly, it’s like a silly website where you trades and collect silly pets, right? But it also has the option for people to make art, roleplay, or make forums for silly reasons. It’s a bit more family friendly though.
