6 Dangers of Success

As an artist grows and becomes more successful, we shed some problems but we also attract new ones so I wanted to make a video about the 6 main dangers of success that I’ve experienced throughout the years and how to overcome or avoid them as well.
Sending positive vibes to everyone!

That tip about taking on too much is so right, but you also forgot to mention the danger of burnout from it ;)

[@BouncyAnimation]

I sadly learned a lot of this the hard way

[@BrianAllen-flylanddesigns]

These are fantastic Bobby - I wrote them out and hung them in my office

[@CarolinaSPontes]

Keep being awesome, Bobby. Thank you very much.

[@RowCat]

I love all your videos! They helped me a lot in my carreer and give me a bunch of motivation everytime i watch them. :) Thank you a lot.

[@markuscreation6263]

This video has really nice down-to-earth advice! People with such values (stability over growth) should be put in charge of the economy as well!

[@beomheelee1249]

Thank you for sharing your invaluable experiences!

[@alexa_digitalart]

Great advice on all fronts. Only discouraging part is figuring out how to build an inner circle before you become successful...

[@fuzzyvibes6156]

I love your channel. It is so practical and helpful as a young budding artist. Please don't stop giving these helpful videos on how to grow as an artist.

Thank you for sharing. I'm mostly self taught. ( Books and tutorials) I agree that goals are important.

[@GabyDomingos]

Thanks a lot for those tips!

[@MarijkevanVeldhoven]

Great video! Thanks for all the tips. Good to hear and read in the comments that more people are struggling with these kinds of things. Saying no to great assignments or clients I find very hard even though it has a bad effect on my time to develop skills and personal life. More tips are always welcome. Thanks again!

These videos are the best relax for me! Thank you!

[@alzamonart]

These are interesting points to share. When you are struggling to make ends meet, to make yourself known out there, being successful is regarded as an "interesting problem to have", but not as an immediate, possible reality of yours. And what if you actually strike it big? Then comes another problem: not being able to handle it right. What's good about overnight success if the next stop is crash and burn? What you really want is to use it to your advantage and to build upon it for a longstanding, satisfactory career. These points in that sense are a great start. Thanks again Bobby :)

Great stuff. Thanks so much.

[@unaanguila]

Thanks for sharing! I watch the expansion mistake so much in my city. It seems as if they do out of pride more than a motivation to grow or as a wise choice. Those place usually close.

[@rafinandi1223]

Thanks a lot for sharing your awesome experience in this video! I hope it'll helps me a lot and become a friendly reminder for me in the future!

[@SilverFoxForestsDesigns]

Thank you for taking the time to do this outstanding advice

[@FeliciaFollum]

these are great tips...I'm not at the same "success" as you lol but I'm certainly at the "i need to say no" stage...which is hard to deal with...

This is a great video, Bobby. I'm 20 and I want to make a living as an artist. I'm taking some beginning drawing and painting classes, so I'm hoping that'll help me get better. I don't even have a following yet. Interestingly, I was born a lefty and taught to be a righty. I'd always done a lot of things left-handed naturally, but I didn't figure it out until high school. Since then, I've been learning to draw with my left hand. (My right-handed writing and drawing is neat and exact, but my hand cramps and it's not natural, whereas my left-handed drawings are loose and light, but I have little control or confidence with it. Would you have any advice for a beginner artist? I'm not confident that I can be a successful-enough artist to make that my career. Any tips? Thanks for reading!

Montreal workshop again! Montreal always!! Pleeeeeeeease!

[@dread7684]

Thanks for this video!

[@alvarojustino]

You are awesome!!

[@dilpreetsingh197]

Thanks a lot Bobbie for doing this video. Please suggest how to come out of Artistic Dip or burnout so that we start fresh. Sometimes too much of art makes my interest dip for considerable time. Please suggest.

[@vyleart4488]

Great video!

[@Gustavotorqueto]

Awesome tips! =)

[@hangkwonglim1803]

Hi Bobby! thanks for making such inspiring videos. I listen to it while at work. Would it be possible to cover a topic on how to be discipline at honing your art skills? Appreciate it and thank you :)

[@Dinoh971]

Hey Bobby ! Are you guys going to be in Europe in 2017 ? Thx for sharing knowledge as always ! :)

[@chapperrrmaglaya3741]

uhmm Bobby may i ask what is your indicator (beside noticing your skills improved) to raise your rate? im kinda feel shy to say this, specially when my recurring clients are used to with the rate that im offering on the past months..

[@laisleitebicudo3025]

Come to brazil!!!!

[@leserbeacerbe6910]

i missed many things concerning drawing basics like perspective, simples shapes etc and i'm lost about the exercises i should execute to improve my art ? Advices and recommandations are welcome.

[@karenthompson1501]

Sun Beam (pretty late) but I can give you advice on figure drawing if you want that buy books on realism, and those that study anatomy and shape buidling as an art. Copy realism artists like Leonardo da vinci. Literally, copy out their drawings, keep practising. Then move on to life drawing. I say lessons are best, make sure the instructor is good too, because it's always nice to ask them for tips, as if you choose the best teacher, they'll be a fountain of knowledge for you. In your spare time, get a notebook and sketch strangers, friends, family. Try them in different techniques and styles.

What do we do about these very popular bigots who discriminate by race and gender under the guise of feminism?
