Whoever edits for you deserves a bonus/raise, or at least a very nice meal

[@christrevigne2330]

This, the editing on all of these videos is so fucking sick. Thought maybe it was him??

[@myk80824]

If its the same guy on the choe show, I think its Paco Raterta

[@mpv9866]

@@myk80824 thanks! Probably so, same vibe n style. And I feel like I left a similar comment few years ago

[@samolivares1814]

Nah fr 😂

[@jaydonmanton5463]

the thing i did to free myself was an artist was i got a brand new sketchbook, so that i didnt feel like i was ruining my old one, and (like a diary) i would paint 2 pieces on each side every day until i filled it, no matter how i felt and in the end it looked like a discography of emotions. i highly recommend this to people to scared to make bad art!

[@Surai00]

Dave: "Paint like somebody else is paying for your art supplies!"

[@deweywynn]

It’s like midnight Gospel and Bob Ross had an Asian baby and barf out one of the greatest artist of our time

Born to late to explore the world, born early to explore space but born just in time to experience David Choe

[@kirstennielsen5832]

My art is my day and when I don’t worry about ruining it I have pretty good days

[@InvisiKid6]

Not worrying about ruining my day is an important lesson I learned in therapy recently 💛

[@iotaarcane]

This is the best advice ever on creating. It’s straight brilliance.

[@mtspiral35]

thanks for helping me get back in touch with the absolute insanity of being an artist, i almost had myself convinced i should be acting according to some kinda standards

[@ChrisTheLazyMystic]

You should do a whole series of this

[@CodyTurner]

Shoutout to the video editor on this one, working overtime! Bravo.

[@TC-xh5wp]

Watched a man wrap his own art around his head at 3 am. Subscribed.

[@nafirbabajooni8137]

❤

[@LoveStrokeRadio]

He just explained the artistic process so well

[@eyespikes843]

I like how you portrayed the real life experience of painting so well. Personally half of the time I think my painting sucks, then I get a random burst of creativity, and turn what I thought sucked into something I now love

[@soundsbitter]

Hell yeah exactly. That’s how iam too. I love this video and and I love Davis he’s helped me become and more understanding and more passionate artist. I Havnt made any art for a while just cause iam not working and able to find it much atm. But that no excuse and I know this. He makes me want to paint. Thank you Choe. ❤️🙏 you are the man. 🫡👊😎

[@Minsoup4]

frr

[@pashaveres4629]

BRUH!! Going to share this with my students. You make the point so well. Took me decades to learn this in clay. Now I'm immune to people's impressions of my work - because I don't care. Making the work was a journey and there's this thing left at the end. I already had my fun. If it's cool, it gets fired. Otherwise it goes in the slurry bucket. Your drawing makes so many points. Mahalo and aloha

[@Thang259]

suddenly i feel like crying to this

[@definitelynotwernerherzog]

this is the best and clearest creative advice I think I've ever heard. thank you

[@MrFishCollects]

That piece came out pretty sick.

[@ankit_mangesh]

David where the fuck have your been all my life, I loved your acting in beef and then discovered your art randomly and now here I am binging your youtube. Thanks dude, loving the vibe

[@Imhmmmm]

Please do more of these I love the stream of consciousness

[@torxio2650]

Dave, I just want to say thank you. I haven't happily drawn anything in years. Expressing myself is extremely valuable, and you've taught me that when I do that in a non-judgmental way it is so much more effective. Instead of drawing for things like Instagram, or the goal to impress people, I draw to understand myself. There is a lot of very chaotic art in my sketchbook now lol, and although it doesn't follow the rules that my art classes taught me. It looks way cooler than any of the other things I've ever done. Thank you Dave, you've inspired me

[@DK-jg5vk]

Thanks Dave. I feel like I suck less than I did yesterday.

[@RoryZ23]

Arguing with himself the entire time. He’s definitely an artist 😂

[@LoveBystroem]

“Guy rambles semi coherently for 10 min with the the most cracked team of editors you ever seen”

[@blind3d.4]

No

[@user-xi4jw4mh7p]

Thank you david! This is healing and allowing more freedom in our hearts and souls. Its 1 am and now i feel like painting.

[@NatNat-uu9cs]

What I'd like to do is find the freedom that unlimited money brings you while not having any money at all. So thank you so much for making this video.

[@Thurston.Howell.the.3rd]

I can never unsee asian bob ross choe

[@WakeMister]

So much Bob Ross vibe, its great, should be made into series!

[@kevinsueksdorf]

You're explaining ideas I can't fully articulate yet and they've helped me work through my self-doubt in art and my life, thank you.

[@moxiesaturday]

the more I learn the traditional technical ways of making art, the more I enjoy just scribbling and splashing and layering chaotically ... This was very encouraging thank you

[@hansmemling2311]

You would enjoy it more if the output was better. It’s necessary to enjoy the proces but you still need to stay true to your original goal. Otherwise you are just running away from yourself. I find that the book of 5 rings really helped out in this regard.

[@redmondartwork]

when i paint i start with nothing. i fight until it comes together. it looks like shit until it doesnt. i always worked in a vacuum. by myself. found my own vocabulary.

[@danielphinney1486]

this is actually a banger video

[@Nobodysbby]

I am in a depression, recently picked up drawing & painting. This feels like a art therapy class your voice is therapeutic. Glad I found your channel!

[@Reesispiecis]

5 min in and I already know this is in my top process videos!,❤️💯💯💯

[@merda0000000000]

This is by far the greatest lesson I have ever witnessed!

[@hvnterfreeman]

my life is more free now.... thank you

[@edwinsuarez2725]

I've totally embraced the ways you work? My art has been less technical and more organic. Thank you senor David!

[@PSA04]

David, this was the first video I watched of yours. It was the night before a 48 hour art competition. I was anxious, I was scared. Then I watched your video. The results of this event, I went in and told myself constantly; don't judge, just do. The end to this story is that I did not win the competition. But with my team, we made people laugh and people cry all at the same time sharing our fearless story. With that I just want to say. Thank you.

[@nafirbabajooni8137]

✨

[@MrShadowysouls]

Gotta tell you - the morning after I watched this I was in a DEEP, rural Newfoundland grade school teaching puppetry to kids - I’m blessed and get to travel around a couple times a year - anyhow, one girl was afraid to make a mark on her shadow puppet and i got her scribble drawing (her words lol) and giggling about negative thoughts. She made a beautiful salmon puppet covered in beautiful, colourful marks … really clean too! So many thanks and love from the wilds of NL ✨❤️✨

[@gusmarrero]

Literally one of the most truth and awesome editing video in a long time.

[@JoseRobles-jm9jh]

David your wisdom is so chill and caring

[@andreaabrahamson4093]

You are a nugget of gold.🤩 I am loving this and laughing and embracing. 🥰😆

[@KungFuChess]

Lighting up a big spliff before painting always works

[@JQWELLIN]

Your snarky attitude is everything 🤍 Thanks for showin us how you get past the ego

[@twokois7032]

Never stop posting!!!! You changed my life with your content!!!

[@FlorianArmbruster-pz6eo]

As an arttherapist from Germany i feel you! Thank you for that wonderful process

[@bryan_garrick_little]

love it. gave me some much needed spirit here in cape point south Africa

[@JacksonCowden]

My favourite video of the last 5 years

[@SJfifty1fifty]

I can never tell if he is being serious or not. But he is always hilarious! 🤘

[@dominiccasarez1791]

Most of time I hate how my art comes out alomst all the time actually but I always love the process. tht flow State of just doing the end of the Painting comes when it no longer creatively stimulates me Sometimes on the rare occasion tho the finish product is very satisfying to me so wat I've been doing is going to the Paintings I'm most attached to and adding or completely Painting over them to invoke tht give and take dance of creativity whilst uncomfortably entering a flow State David choe the dude is the art

[@imgorbproductions]

Do edit these yourself David? The style is so brilliant

[@MarkSoliday]

That hat is the bomb. Great video David. Thank You.

[@delarboles197]

Thank you for this painting lesson David. You are a master of your craft. Your paintings are as good and bad as the rest of us. In that there is no good or bad way to make art. There is only wisdom in art making. It is the only way to make art. Your way. Bless you brother 🙏 🙌 💙

[@PinkiePromiseManifestation]

I’ve spent the last few years living this video….thank you, I feel seen after years of telling myself I didn’t care if anyone understood. Onward and upwards

[@yurisfilmroll5582]

i think i’ve found my new fav artist

[@robinaart72]

needed this...yesterday I was learning about Otto Dix - and realised how scared I am to paint what i really think and feel about the world..what a brave man he was.. art does reveal who you are...and I guess im nervous to show the world im a big fat conspiracy theorist lol

[@larry6400]

😂😂😂

[@zachwhaley208]

This is brilliant. The encouragement demonstrated. Love it.

[@Torque-ws2fr]

This video made me feel high

[@Kenriots]

Frazzled and annoyed happens every time, it's always an adventure 🎉

[@MrArt8man]

I 'm glad I saw this video.

[@kathynguyen1843]

Your commentary was entertaining to watch. and those materials look high quality

[@Heisenburg17]

Actually yes, my fav works were made fearlessly

[@origins183]

Thank you David. When I wake up, ima really paint with no care in the world. I’ll surely grow faster over time

[@davemenard5089]

This is the best art not made by AI. Nt even possible

[@ilftc8892]

i love this open minded perspective, thanks so much for the great content

[@aesis.m]

yo,, this just made me cry AF. spoke to me real,,,,, im in my 3rd year bfa major in painting degree & i just realized months ago that i was painting not for me but to please my environment. Thus, decided to do a 360 degree u turn to my old favorite processes that made me choose this degree. Was able to create my first ever personal piece yet the class didn’t like it during a critique…. Now, im abt to work on that same piece for a revision & U JUST MADE ME CRY. thank you for the hard slap. will def follow u now!

[@joeyobee32]

Dude, I started painting a few months ago, been working on a face and was afraid to resume it until this randomly came on. Big love man! Great video!

[@papadizastr]

You’ve helped make my current moment of existence brighter🕺🏼😊🤙🏽

[@larry6400]

That was powerful … 😮😊. Thank you !

[@zacharycieszinski5465]

I did a brush pen drawing from imagination, didn't have any set idea on what I would draw, I put a few marks down and turned into a frying dragon, came out as one of my best pieces

[@viramann]

I love the editing of this, it feels fun like the content. Great job peoples

[@Chris-el4hd]

6:55 so true. Not about creating the poison, but going with the flow. If you know how to do one thing, how can you allow yourself to play around in order for it to become better

[@raghidaalhamedi7524]

This is beautiful Thankyou so much for this im gonna watch more to help myself as i struggle with this fear of fucking perfection

[@WashingSpoons]

I want a kid-friendly version of this I can play for my 6 year old. He gets so frustrated that he can’t draw like other kids. I need him to feel this way.

[@nafirbabajooni8137]

🙏🏻

[@hansmemling2311]

You can also just teach them by reading how to books and then creating extra steps inbetween that would work for a kid that age.

[@mollyshealingcorner]

Orrrr just do this exercise with him and put it in your own words. He'll appreciate it and treasure the memories more that way.

[@blind3d.4]

Poor kid makes you think what are the teachers and kids saying to him why does he think that

[@waveInfinite]

The joy of David Choe ❤

[@reybarber2819]

This brings me unimaginable happiness

[@nothatingjustanxiety]

Thanks for filming this. feeling way more understood now

[@F42355E]

And by simply creating this YT vdo you were able to change not only the day but maybe the life of us, the unsuspected viewers and I personally want to thank you and your team for that 😊

[@ceoofmilk2756]

Chow this content feels really nice and spiritual please continue this sort of content where I can see you

[@ceoofmilk2756]

Like before it was like audios or smth lmao

[@AustynRich]

Great video, Dave! Even with your natural sense of humor and comedic timing you always deliver a valuable message.

[@dochang2784]

Hey man , you got me thinking about a lot of stuff. I appreciate the content you make man. You are very relatable to me, and the way you break things down , makes sense for me. which isnt always easy. Anywayy thanks man , hope you read this one day

[@kiwigummii]

My new Sunday Seminar, thank you David Choe

[@RickY2525000]

This just connects to me on such a deep level. I love your energy. Keep it up, never stop

[@solvetcag4801]

this is so refreshinggg love it

[@peaterrepeater4441]

When the editor-aftereffects relationship really works out

[@RamblinAround]

Everything you do is interesting and thought provoking. You are anything but boring, that is for sure. Also...props to your video editors, they did an awesome job!

[@itspeache]

take that chance take that chance take that chance take that chance take thanks take that chance 8:26

[@madmattgaming3951]

Love the Pappy outfit.

[@tuan1989]

The editer and motion designe made that video an artwork

[@lucasbello6949]

This guys out of his freaking mind

[@MakeSomething]

This is my favorite video.

[@dannyarbuckle5706]

Always been a fan! Thanks Dave 👽

[@kylew1761]

Wow, this video was incredibly helpful. It was exactly what I needed to see today. I've been stuck in this weird internal psychological battle with myself and art, struggling to create. The floodgates have opened today through. Much appreciated

[@saintjohntattoo5150]

ive ingested to much trees and this video is a trip to watch in this state. lol

[@MadRo333]

I’m always scared shitless throughout the entire process and the before and after🙃🌀

[@FeebleWeasel]

You helped me feel better with this video.

[@ArtBeyondWoo]

Thank you David!!!! 🙌🏼 Best demonstration ever… gotta let it all go to express what we can’t imagine. Much love brother 🤘🏼

[@jmfs3497]

Thanks for sharing this. I had an OCPD/BPD parent who thought everything I did was inherently bad. I've had to navigate these same types of negative thoughts whenever I do anything, and it feels a lot funnier and less alone to see someone what someone else goes through.

[@hansmemling2311]

I had a similar upbringing. Still haven’t let that go. I still feel like a giant loser most of the time.

[@NotBirdN]

More of these please 🙏

[@kuaotunukid]

Made my day bro.thank you❤.
