I always watch art tips but I always forget what I watched or what I needed to remember during studies. So here is my tip: Screenshot this comment (not mine, but the one with time for each tip) and make it your phone's wallpaper(picture) for the lock screen, since you will see the lock screen more than the "in" screen. Good luck.

I would add another point that really works for me 11) FINISH YOUR ART PIECES: don't abandon your projects or work forever on a single one, give them some form of closure, and be consistent, finish your current project before starting another one. If you feel you have a lot of ideas, tackle them one by one, if you are working on a project and you think you have the best idea ever, just make a quick sketch and notes, then return and finish your current project. This forces you to go through all stages of the process. Think about music, if you learn only the intros of songs or the solos you're missing everything else, and play a complete song is as satisfying as finishing an art piece.

I can confirm that having a project rather than a single piece is the best way to produce art. I spent a year trying to find inspiration for personal work and I came up with nothing but then I decided to take on an entire project with about 12 different pieces and once I committed to that the inspiration just flooded in. Artists need direction. Ideas don't just appear out of thin air. We need structure and a idea to work off of.

@@mayak5908 I had the exact same problem. I couldn't settle on a subject that I enjoyed enough to create art for. And then I realised I absolutely loved the stories told in The Witcher 3, so I decided to start making Witcher art. I wanted to create cards but just drawing scenes from the game didn't motivate me. So then I was like, what if I use the archetypes from tarot cards and try to draw the characters as those archetypes? And then I got super into it. Maybe start with a subject that inspires you and then come up with a format that gives you the structure you need to stay motivated.

I’m the opposite lol I have so many ideas and concepts but I can’t produce what I envision. Even if it resembles it a little bit, I get frustrated because it’s not what I envisioned, so I get discouraged and just stop the drawing there. It’s annoying cause I know I’m not the best so I can’t expect it to be extremely good but my brain says “just stop if you’re not satisfied

Did you start learning art to be enslaved by the requests of other people? You probably didnt. Draw what makes you happy, what you crave the most, because that will fuel your passion for drawing and in consecuence make you a better artist. Even the best artists, who do regular commisions and have drawing as their job, they all have some separate time to draw what they like, to draw something that they love.

yeah in art school the emphasis was childrens cartoons, so I learned how to draw 3.5 head proportions when all I wanted to do was young adult ultra violence fanatsy and sci fi. After graduation I spent like 3 years trying to pass myself off as a childrens animator, but recruiters always saw right through that facade, lol. Im drawing my own comics now, not really sure if art will ever be a career, but fortunately I have information tech skills to make $ with.

My art before and now are incredibly different, and then last year I completely lost passion for art and just drawing illustrations. I stopped drawing altogether, so I started wondering what happened? how did I go from always drawing even though it wasn't that good to drawing better art without any passion? or just feeling like I'm forcing myself to draw for the sake of it. I feel like my art now, even though it's better than before is very stagnant, and I definitely have been ignoring a lot of things that make me a better artist. This video was a refreshing reminder of what I should have been doing :))

I think the self-awareness is an interesting point. I started drawing more often 1-2 years ago and i know i lack confidence. So before every artistic project i have to get my "If it goes wrong, then i'll learn from it"-mindset. Sometimes it takes weeks of thinking before i even start a drawing, but when i finish it i am actually surprised. My skills aren't as bad as i thought. So I keep trying to improve and the thought that i always might just underestimate myself helps me.

I like to draw just a simple face, maybe at some angle, but just something. It doesn’t even have to be anything specific: maybe just some doodle, weird pattern, it’s up to you! This helps me keep up the motivation to draw

hello, you posted this a year ago so i hope you got better with this but regression and/or stagnation is a normal part of every learning process, sometimes there is moments where you are doing worse than before but it's normal, you reach sort of milestones where progress is slowed down because you already learned a lot of things and the next things to learn are a lot longer to acquire. The more you learn the less porgress are visible.

Truly a good listen. The idea about competition resonated with me hard. My 12 year old nephew always wants to collaborate on an idea or see who can draw something better and I realize now how much wonders it’s doing for him.

Personally, I feel the whole "compromise" idea depends on what the artist's intentions are. To sell? Gain attraction? Etc.? Then, of course as you stated it would behoove them to want to try to appeal to more people.Regardless, I still think the artist's interests and desires should always be top priority. Especially if only done for fun/leisurely.

I massively improved at the beginning few years, but now improving is at a grind. I'm trying to start up again after being burnt out. I definitely feel like I'm at that pit of the Kruger effect, where I feel overwhelmed. I do art for fun so I feel like need to relax a little bit, and just enjoy it.

These tips are so true, especially about practice. It’s important to grow your roots in order to bare the fruit of your labor. Most artists think practice needs to be hours, but just 20 minutes a day can lead to big gains!

I just found your channel recently and it feels like i have the door of my dreams right in the front of my forhead. Since I was little I want to draw portraits and character design for videogames, and im everyday trying to improve, change my techniques, my art style, i'm never in my confort zone. Sometimes I wonder when I will reach that thing that thing that I dream so much. But well, all I can do now is still imroving, get better and just dont stop dreaming and finding artists like you. You inspire me a lot, really :').

I've just started to work as an artist, I thought that when I would finally get to the point of earning a salary from art (even though I'm just at the start of my career, so I'm not amazingly skilled or anything and I have so many things to learn to get ahead in this job) I would become a confident person. It's not like that at all! I'm stuck in the middle of the Dunning-Kruger effect curve and I question every single thing I do and feel like an impostor. I feel that I didn't really improve "much" in this year leading to me getting a job. I got a lot of work to do on myself, lol.

all of this is is soo good!! but for me i add 1 more thing its observing if u wanna make art try observing. not just about anatomy but ideas from life try to walk outside well indeed its hard since its the pandemic but when u buy groceries try to observe more stuff around u maybe u lack making backgrounds or clothing or people , u can observe from photos or real life itself ik its like looking reference but observing is more like making those thousand of reference to be put simplified inside ur mind. i mean sometimes when u make art u gotta take some piece from irl and that piece is what why observation is needed well at least for me. its good to use reference but sometimes u cant always look at reference, ref is good for helping ur foundation and structure but dont always put ref for everything well it depends too tho sometime it gotta need ref while some it might not need that much ref idk if he already talk about this or it might be the same thing he said in the video. i might have missed the part he talked about this if he did please reply

Here's something I do to keep my art fun! Say if I study something that I may not really enjoy drawing, like hands. After I do studies and feel more confident, I'll make a fun project that involves a lot of hands. Turn the things you don't like drawing into a fun challenge!

Man, I'm glad I found your channel. I had 13 year hiatus on drawing just because.. well.. I didn't draw enough to form a habit or routine of doing so. I got first week on relearning, either messing around with stylus or photoshop, doodling something mostly to do small artsy pieces for pals like logos or "fancify" something. All while taking at least every second day to sketch out something more serious. Small or not, I've been sharing it, showin' it aorund. This part I did figure myself But the way Marc speaks, it's kinda inspiring, reinforcing what I know already or atleast I think I know. Used to peptalk art friends by saying "Hey, you're not -there-.... YET" Or like one ancient drawing tutorial once said, "This is not my final form yet"

I've been drawing off an on for most of my life. It was only within the last few months that I gave myself a project that I am enthusiastic about that I have been able to not only draw everyday but able to focus on the drawing. I used to struggle to focus on a drawing for 10-15 minutes. I can now focus up to an hour and a half. And I do notice little hints of improvement over the course of this project alone. such as my line control is getting better. I'm better able to discern colors and how to pick colors. And i'm learning the value of layers in art programs.

A tip I've found helps is to also look and follow artists whose work is not really your cup of tea, because you look at it more objectively rather than because you like the aesthetic and I think having that balance is important and you'll learn a lot even from art you don't necessarily enjoy. ☺️

Another one is to learn the terms and definitions of the fundamentals and elements of art. If you have a hard time understanding and breaking down how artist created their piece. You're going to have a even harder time trying to recreate or even copy. So learn the basics and create a mindset of constant growth and learning. Because whatever stagnates dies so keep moving and keep working.

At 5:49 same, i also get motivated looking at someone’s art that’s really really good, it gets me in the mood of “wow I really should start practicing to get into this level faster” What discourages me is when i see another bad art bc it kinda gives of fear like if i don’t practice already, that’s how bad I’m gonna get and that just sucks..

It was your comment about burnout and art not being fun was the driving moment that made me realize where I was in my art. As it is with the quarantines and social distancing, I made the decision to reinvest back into my art again and this video brought a refreshing breath of life again to my longest love, art. Best wishes and I look forward to gleaning more insight from your videos.

Thanks for the tips, and for mentioning confidence! I think that's something a lot of beginner artists lack and they don't improve because they lack the motivation to try to be better when they see other great artists' work. Healthy competition always gives room for growth, so we should never put our own ego before our work.

This was such an inspiring video. I've been trying to pick up 3D modelling for a while now. I've done a few beginner's courses, as well as made a few simple objects based on references, but, like you said, I find myself getting discouraged by learning new things that open the floodgates to even more things I still need to learn. I haven't opened blender in a few months now because I was getting so discouraged by the massive gap between where I wanted to be, and where I am. Your comments about having the right mindset, self-awareness, and keeping expectations in check are exactly what I needed to hear. I'm going to open blender again tomorrow with a fresh mindset. Thank you, really.

I don't think drawing every single day is an attainable goal for a lot of people, but I do think trying to draw -most- days or even just on a consistent schedule is just as good (possibly better for some people). I do like that you mentioned that stuff like studies and scribbles count, too.

I watched this video a while ago but wanted to say the advice about having a project to focus on has been very helpful. i started learning how to draw last summer and have been doing comparison pieces using one of my dnd characters every 2-3 months and while there are some pieces that look fairly close or like i haven't improved since the last one, the difference between the first one at 3 months and the one i did at the start of this is measurable and im pretty happy with my progress after 1 year

I'm self-taught, I picked up 3d posing tool so I could pose something that I can blindly trace over. Spent a year doing that, thought my art was great. Then watch your videos and after just a few days of trying out OBSERVATION, I quickly realized how massively stiff my art were. If only I allocated the time to learn the FUNDAMENTALS and UNDERSTAND instead of just following a ref, I would've been wayyyy way better. Thank you Marc!
