Every Good Artist Does This…

best way to get something done is not tell anyone, just do it. if you tell someone then you won't do it.

Video literally spoke to me. My first goal when I decided to become an artist was to make an anime but I didn't even know how and my current goal is to make a manga that tells an impactful story that speaks to readers and getting an anime is a bonus

[@HTMangaka]

Been Reading Ruthless Render. It's really good. I also get a kick out of how you specifically point out that it's read from left to right. XDDD

[@Nahual_]

Bro you're so f*cking right. I was used to say "i'm gonna be a Mangaka" when i was a kid, but i've never did anything to achieve that, until i started drawing at 12yo. Now i'm about to get 18yo and i'm drawing the first chapter of my manga, i'm gonna post it in manga plus creators and then sell it in my country (Argentina) I still thinking i'm a nobody, but at least i'm doing something to achieve my goal.

[@Nahual_]

@Guscer se re aprecia eso jajajsk De igual manera con tal de que lean mi obra ya soy feliz. Si sos de buenos aires podes comprar el manga en fisico en un evento y te lo firmo (falta mucho para eso pero soñar es gratis xd)

Yo! how did the manga thing turn out?

The chapter Amazed and I fell in love with your art over again

[@zanenamorph3202]

I just like to say, Mr Mark thank you very much for giving not only to me (as a artist) but to pretty all the young artists out there. You have given us an opportunity to better love and care for ourselves when it comes to art and life related things. Your videos art related topics, and motivational speeches have inspired me to keep pushing forward to achieving my dreams as a professional artist, whether it being animation, manga author, illustrator concept artist, all in the above. Thanks to you I began to make a potential manga story of my own. Although its going to be a long journey for me, your motivational speeches will push me to success. Thank you so much! God bless your art success my friend!!!😊

[@soukaynahjm5244]

I think one of the best thing is as you said is to set small goals leading to the big goal Some pll sometimes dream of stuff waaay far from them and then when they don't get easily they just give up I'm not saying don't dream big but also know what you'r capable of and set goals based on that

[@tsakeboya]

The fact that you've basically achieved your dream of being a mangaka all while exposing almost your whole experience for the internet to see is so amazing. When I saw that ruthless render was literally the top manga in Manga Plus Creators I almost couldn't believe it, because I could say that I was there. I saw you improve and talk about your dream. And here you are. You are a huge inspiration for me and thousands of other aspiring artists and you should be proud of that. Especially because of your background, you show anyone can do it.

[@TReactz]

as a manga creator who has published his own series with a small following i feel this!!! ive been on hiatus to take care of my mental so i needed this!!!

[@tsakeboya]

Where did you publish it? I'm wondering what platforms there are. Manga Plus Creators?

[@Ronin-699]

your so underrated

[@cynxmanga]

Planning very specific deadlines never works for me, it just makes me more anxious and more willing to slack, drag things out. I definitely feel better when I draw something without thinking that it has to be on certain quality, for certain purpose, done in certain amount of time. It's so easy to upset people, anyway. Maybe I'm just not fitting to this but I'll keep doing it in my own slow, comfortable way bc in this way things at least get done. Not completely sure yet but my thing will appear in Manga Plus Creators too... someday, lol. Seeing Ruthless Render as no1 there was not a surprise at all, since the artstyle is really the most solid one so far! Congrats on your success, DdMark!

[@webbeddee9407]

Ayo GG mark

[@bobbysmitty1628]

Congratulations DD Markk 🥳🥳. Read and re-read whatever deal you're being offered. Some of the greatest comic book artists got stiffed by their publishers, Jack "King of Comics" Kirby and Carl "The Good Duck Artist" Barks come to mind. Then there were those who kept primary control over their IPs such as Bill Watterson, the author of Calvin and Hobbes. DON'T FORGET, they saw something in YOU.

[@Neonblackbatz]

You are such an underrated KZbin artist man. I work knock shift and I listen to your videos and not only do you inspire me but keep me on track mentally I’m not good enough to make my manga yet but after my training aro I will be 😉

[@Mogg_king]

Bruh I come back after 7 months cause I’m wanting to write my manga since I’m finally settled in my new house and I see your manga is doing well and I don’t even know you like that BUT I’m so happy for you! I own a business and I know that feeling you’re talking about when things finally come 360. It’s amazing! Congrats again man!

[@solyun2683]

DD motivational mangaka Mark. Thanks for the constant words of wisdom for the community! You're a real one 👏

[@KStheArtist25]

It can be easier to not interact with media and focus but yet doing stuff outside is more difficult if everyone knows your an artist hidden or not… introvert and extrovert can be a struggle for we all must be doing both.

[@soulofmangart]

Thanks for your nice words, I'll try to do my best! your videos are always amazing! keep it up!

[@kozmickame]

Ngl this do be me with my art goals. Damn

[@milkboy9096]

You deserve it man I really do get excited when you upload a new chapter

[@imhunniebee]

As always, great video DD. I've always found the strategy of having mini goals during a journey to be super motivating. My main goal is to make webtoon; I've set so many small achievements, and the few I've reached in the past couple of months makes me feel unstoppable.

[@trynastartshi5769]

what's crazy about this is the fact that I learned about goal setting and how to set long term goals through short term goals in my sports health/psychology class rather than my visual arts class in High School

[@GallantGum_]

w mark once again

[@MrAaaaazzzzz00009999]

ive been working on my comic solitarily for some months now and just now I am pushing for it to get published somewhere. Thanks for reassuring me that I should press forward, even if Im honestly scared of having a readerbase and putting my own work out there. :)

WHOOOO NEW VIDEO 🦗🦟🦗🦟🦗🦟🦗🦟

[@DXHellfire666]

This video plus your Chainsaw Man video are about to be the kick in the ass I needed. I just published my first book and I wanna build it up to an RPG, but that's a long road over the course of a year. So I want to build my audience with a book and a visual comic to accompany it, and then spread the ability of my story to be consumed across media. I set a firm goal and am currently adhering to it, so to have this video be simultaneously a wake up call but an assurance that I'm on the right path too is very, very helpful for me. I really appreciate your videos DDM - consider me a new subscriber!

[@V.A.J.C]

i usually dont set goals but i sometimes just subconciously always try to be 75% as good as the best in the world for whatever i do and it usually worked so im kind of a jack of alot of trades but for art it wasnt working for me so i wanna try this different mindset method thank u m8

Bro just called out all of us "bed artist all talk no action"type , who just say without Do , this video hit very close to home .Thanks ✍️🫠

[@elimitt]

THIS VIDEO IS GREAT MAKING ME MOTIVATED but one thing that holds me back is me thinking my art sucks and that I'm not good enough to start. do I just say screw it and start drawing manga or do I hone my skills before.

[@fuzzie6299]

Man, a lot of your content has clicked for me. My overall goal with art is to make money off of it while having fun, but the only way I can do that is if I'm really good at drawing anatomy... so now I'm focusing on anatomy, with a little bit of anime sprinkled in between.

[@RukileinchenChan]

Goals can be discouraging too, though. I am 31 now (yes, fucking old lol) and startred taking art seriously with 26. I deliberetaly drew almost everyday since then for 4-5 hours. I thought I could be a pro in 3, at LEAST after 5 years. Yeah, I still suck. I have given up at this point to decide for any goals outside of "I'd like to improve at x this month" because not achieving them before really kicked my psyche. :/ I don't disagree on setting goals at all, just that you have to be aware of what you expect. If you are as bad/untalented as I am, yeah...
