at University, our lecturers told us something really useful that I think would be useful for you? “You can never master anything in art because there’s always something more to learn” which was something that I found helped me with my art because I was also, a perfectionist who wanted to ‘master’ everything.

[@jujuoof174]

Yes exactly! It's thia way with any passion or skill, ever! There are always new things to learn and room for progress!

[@Not_Kaitlyn]

I NEEDED TO HEAR THISSS!! PREACH 🙌

[@alicepersson9568]

something that really helped me is the quote "every unfinished project has infinite potential, and no finished project will ever live up to it".

[@CarrieTooTired]

30 day challenges are always very intimidating to me because of the "time limit" so seeing this does put a smile on my face 🥺 I love the grouchy potential dilf but the pieces are all very inspiring! makes me want to take on one to improve my art

[@CarrieTooTired]

also the pink BB intro I- 💀

[@folfelit]

My adhd makes me meltdown from time limits too, so I got by the checklist idea - it’s not 30 days, it’s do/finish this checklist of 30 things. Completely frees up my mind, and I end up finishing early usually haha.

[@CarrieTooTired]

@@folfelit omg wait that’s genius 👀 easier on the brain!

[@warlock_of_jade5322]

I wish I was confident enough in my art to do a 30-day challenge. I probably should do one, just so I could actually improve my art and my confidence.

[@IzzyJoFo]

Honestly, do it. You don’t even have to put it online, it can just be a fun little thing to do for yourself!

[@opheliaveu]

you don't have to be confident to do an art challenge! it doesn't have to be super perfect or anything, especially if it's for improvement~ it might even be good coz if you constrict yourself to only working on a prompt for a day, you won't be able to dwell on it for a long time

[@drendraleigh4722]

It can help you get into a habit of pushing through you doubt, try it!(I never finish it either)

[@astraamarante6233]

Both harsh and comforting, a double-edged sword, no one's gonna care as much as you do, so JUST GO FOR IT! (Hardest part is usually just starting and then knowing when to finish)

[@Dark_Flame_Master]

If you want to do an easy-ish anime human drawing/sketching challenge, I can recommend the 30-day quick sketch anime people art challenge by the youtuber Art Senpai. It’s probably a good exercise for beginners because it’s supposed to be a quick sketch for 30 minutes and not a full drawing, and he posts reference images and his own sketches and you can see other people‘s work in the google drive folder. I do it too (didn’t upload yet tho, I restarted the challenge yesterday bc I kinda misunderstood what a quick sketch was) and it’s nice.

THE MERE FACT YOU HAVE THE EXACT SAME AMOUNT OF BRAIN ROT THAT I DO OF AKANE AND JUNPEI AND THE ZERO ESCAPE SERIES AS A WHOLE IS SO REASSURING!!! Also your art is such a major inspiration and I understand how it feels to be a perfectionist when it comes to every aspect. I think everybody in the comments section as well as your friends would agree when I say it's beautiful and lovely and that you are doing the best you can!

[@that_kid_nobody_notices]

This gives me motivation to do a 30 day challenge! I've always been deterred because "I WONT be able to finish it in 30 days. I dont have THAT much motivation to draw every single day." But this just tells me, take your time. You dont have a time limit. Even if you do 1 prompt a month, that's fine. I've been meaning to get back into art, and this really gives me motivation :)

[@quietlywhispering]

31:10 Glad my silhoutte observation recommendations were useful to you Rea!! The differing silhouettes and styles of clothing really make the designs pop‼️ They look so cool 🩷

[@usagihika]

hi!! im an art youtuber looking to get to 3k by the end of the year!! if possible please check out my work!! thank you for your support!!!

[@piskelo10]

I've never been able to finish one of these 30 day challenges. Even though I nearly draw multiple times every day, something about having to make a completed illustration every day for that long is so fucking hArd And even though I knoooww it technically doesn't need to be a completely finished drawing I simply ✨*pressure myself*✨ into it

[@aaaaaa-ts3rw]

maybe set a time for drawing and do some over 2-4 days? it's about the journey, not the conclusion (as a fellow perfectionist, I freaking feel you lmao)

[@piskelo10]

@@aaaaaa-ts3rw *aha*, bold of you to assume I have any time management skills 😎 ...in retrospect it's not surprising I never finish these, I set the bar for myself super high knowing full well my impatient ass has unmedicated ADHD and can barely form habits 😐

@Piskelo10 oh hey, unmedicated ADHDs unite One thing that helps me a lot is finding a buddy, helps the juices flow I've made more art in the last month than in the last year because I've been talking to people about it

I found a good rhythm doing two a day but part of the week when i did a challenge. Like June said it's no fun being too strict.

Really in love with June's new art style! So colorful and lively! It also seems like it can transfer to animation easier

[@imnotsuspiciousshh]

Okay, honestly, this video gets me a step closer to feeling comfortable enough to do one of these challenges. I freaking HATE timed challenges like these so seeing June take their time regardless has unlocked an "oh wait, I could also do that" in me LMAO

[@legendarybubbles4567]

This has given me the motivation to finish my 30 day MerMay challenge! I had been struggling with it for a while. I find comfort in the fact that you didn’t stick to just 30 days. It really soothes my anxiety over the ‘time limit’ aspect of the challenge. :)

[@ghostsonyourscreen7396]

You mentioned wanting to draw something but not being able to get away with it for a video a few times but honestly, we’re here for your art, and your art is at its best when you enjoy it. I think you should totally draw whatever y want and make that into the videos.

[@Rageslife]

So the thing is we are in on the videos, KZbin demonization is kinda different

[@limeyell0w945]

The "in 3 months," in the title is amazing. I love when people are able to put the way they speak out loud into text like that, if that makes sense

[@Shadowreaper5]

It's actually kind of reassuring to see that the amazing artist that you look up to as an insurmountable mountain and see that they too are looking up at their own mountain.

the junepei drawings singlehandedly added like 9 years to my life. zero escape my absolute beloved. they are so in love and also divorced [affectionate]

1) not just ur voice, but also literally everything about u seems so much happier. ur color palette is lighter, ur enjoying what ur drawing, and fuck anyone who says otherwise 2) prism pokemon designs would be a cool video if ur ever interested

[@LarvaRewind]

Omg incredible video bestie

[@redberrryblast]

Honestly I feel the slow love for backgrounds. I’ve been doing background-based projects for school, and both the time difference and amount of love I have for my first and last pieces is LARGE.

I love drawing backgrounds, its such fun! Now, figure drawings, poses, EXPRESSIONS, my absolute nightmare. It's nice seeing someone so good at drawing humans show improvement on other areas, really inspiring

[@abaddonarts1129]

WOW! That kitchen scene is stunning! I love how much you've improved and that you consider it one of your best works, and it's also cute as hell that Garnet both ripped up the painting but still kept the pieces. I assume that's got to be because they cared about their art even if they didn't think it was worth it in the moment, right?

As someone who's been also feeling regression in my art lately and going through a transitional period in my identity, this was JUST the video I needed. Thank you so much!

[@Fawnuss]

Really inspiring watching you push past the challenge and doing all 30 prompts! I’ve always ended up giving up after missing a single day from a challenge but I like the idea of a challenge you can do at your own pace as long as u eventually get to the end and hopefully grow from it! :D

[@Dr.ChimeraArchives.V]

30 day art challenges are soo cool to see peoples progress

[@mostlyghostey]

Honestly the fact that this challenge took 3 months is so inspiring to me. It makes me feel like I can take on a challenge at a slower pace so I don’t burn out.

[@ImazuKyoko]

I love your artstyle so much it's such a big inspiration for me! Especially your lineart, it looks so loose, kinda wobbly yet super clean and smooth at the same time ! I can't stress this enough I would eat it if I could. Also hearing you say you took around 3 months and played around with the prompts is comforting because everytime I do one of those challenge I feel super stiff and kinda bad for taking liberties. Your artstyle is gorgeous and the way you talk about your ideas and/or issues with a piece is really inspiring !! :D

[@am_Nein]

Petition for a side channel thats low effort and allows her to draw more things she loves

[@DarlingMythos]

I get so excited every time you post, June!! Always inspires me to get back to practicing my art. Loved this vid so much! Great work

[@a-goob-named-spoob]

I genuinely believe this video helped me improve on my own art. Seeing someone's step-by-step process, or even just a timelapse of it like this video helps me see how anatomy is formed, how all different types of poses and features can be drawn easily if you just take the time to study or even just reference. This video helped me so much with my anatomy, seeing you break it down into sections before lineart helped me figure out how your anatomy style is structured (I was always into a cartoon-ish anatomy while still looking realistic, if that makes sense. This helped me so much, thank you.) edit: just realized how repetetive this was, so sorry about that.

[@spiderlily5544]

I know you are probably not going to see this June but I saw this video and thought “ I should do this. What could possibly go wrong “. I went a head and did a rough sketch for a lot of them and then got to the backgrounds parts and thought I was going to die because I might hate it and never want to do background again and when I tell you I did two sketches I started to fall in love with backgrounds now I can’t stop thinking and drawing them now every drawing is going to have a background and I love and hate it. Thank you for helping find love for backgrounds and WHY DID YOU INSPIRE ME TO DO IT JUNE

[@haldiroot]

Challenges are so much more fun when you're able to go at your own pace. Sometimes I can do one in 5 days and sometimes it takes me months before I even touch a challenge. I'm glad you got to grow in the areas you wanted to with this one! Backgrounds are fun but they are TOUGH when you haven't built the muscle. I mostly get my practice in through comics and the once-in-awhile full illustration. Congrats on completing the challenge! :D

[@cringebinger]

That comic of Junpei and Akane’s elevator scene got a big giggle outta me. The expressions are perfect!

[@gabrielaribeiro9455]

Tbh you finishing the 30 day think even after the deadline was long past is super motivational to me; i easily get frustated when results sdon't come fast and wind up not finishing a LOT of wips and plans just because i get sad with my lack of skill, but sometimes you just gotta be sttuborn and do it anyways.( and you did so many backgrounds too, golly gosh, backgrounds take a lot of effort) Those longer painting/drawainng videos are just super pleasant to watch and hear you thought process. It's neat, very fun~

[@GONE_BATTY]

I started watching princess Tutu because you mentioned it in a video before and I've noticed your art style is pretty similar to it! Super cute and appealing! (Also I just want to add on your videos are great to listen to while playing neopets :3)/gen

There's always a lot of constructive criticism at the top, which I get is helpful, but I just wanted to say that you are seriously so talented that watching you draw is mesmerizing. I know art can always be improved, but you're such a pro. Just wanted to say that.

June!! If you need to take a break please do! Your mental health takes priority and I can understand not having enough personal time to complete personal art, taking a break can really satisfy that, and if you EVER need to take some time to yourself just know we will always support you :)

[@aexea_arts]

Hey ! I don't comment a lot, but I just wanted to say thank you ! I didn't know your channel before this video, and I'm really glad I do now, because you're such a good vibe 😆 When I saw this video, I decided to do the challenge myself. I was not looking for improvement or something before, however I started it two weeks ago ! I'm also more into drawing characters, so I was really impressed by the difference it makes on my backgrounds too !! Like, I'm only halfway there, but I can really feel the growth and I'm so proud of me now ! (And drawing backgrounds is no longer a torture 😆) For all of that, thank you a lot !

Ngl, after watching this, it makes me wanna try out this challenge too. Sometimes you get so stuck in drawing a certian style, pose, or even just the same character over and over. And doing something like this definetly would put the spark back into ANYBODYS drawings!

[@renamation8098]

I am OBSESSED with Junpei and Akane. Love them so much.

[@EyDavid]

This video is such a good example of why I love your channel. The narration is always fun, the art always good but it's the process and seeing how you use references, rulers, scale, etc. and the way you explain the reasoning behind the way you draw that just pulls me in every time you post!

When you were making the Ben and Garnet piece and finishing around the 18:14 mark, I think it looks darling! I love backgrounds and all, but by GOD are they difficult as all hell do make. But you can tell a lot about a character/person by simply what environment they're in, which is why this challenge you've done has inspired me to TRY and crank out more of my own backgrounds; even if they're just concept drafts!
