[@tiredmess8843]

hello, can you help me understand the example for the third one? practicing what we struggled with for a week and then drawing it again a week later, does that mean we like, after a week of practicing face, next week we practice something else for another week before practicing face again to see improvement?

[@lautaroalday7225]

@@tiredmess8843 I don't know if i got it right, but personally i think its just about getting out of your comfort zone. For example if you struggle with shading or coloring, or things like hands,perspective among other things, you need to still try it and "grind" it a bit, as in focusing on that aspect. So when you feel confident enough, try tackling an area of drawing you are not too good at, for example i'm really bad at coloring and shading, but i'm good at lineart. So i spend time having fun making my lineart, and if i feel confident or seeking some challenge, i say "alright, lets add some color and shading" of course it ends up looking bad, because i'm still not good at it, but its that, challenging yourself. It won't look pretty at first, or maybe it will, you won't know until you try it. I'm not good at explaining or teaching, so hopefully what i said makes sense lol.

This feeling of completing the missions in the game with a high score feels quite satisfying. Partly I feel that compliments are also influential. Even though I may not be good at drawing, just having compliments can be a great motivation, making me even more drawn to drawing and getting better at it.

[@Luxalpa]

That's because you stress out too much. If you're not a complete beginner at something and already have some or a lot of experience with things, you won't feel the enthusiasm of picking things up. Way to overcome this is to start way smaller. Particularly when you're out of ideas, instead of trying to draw something original, you'd need to "warm up" by just making random doodles with no clear goal and/or copying references.

[@paintbrushes5]

For me, having a project to work on helps lots because it generates a bunch of art to create. If I stare at a blank page, I'm going to spend a lot of energy on the idea alone. I know that for me, it's a lot of thinking that goes into drawing so coming up with ideas separately to sitting down and drawing halves the mental effort, and helps me get going. I'm not sure if this is for everyone but hopefully it helps someone 😊

[@SHAHNMONO]

Yeah, similar to drawing mechs which also high risk but it can be sometimes low and high rewards depends on the qualities. Thats why I always put my respects on many artists especially the one that can also draw mechs.

[@Spamkromite]

AAAAA THAT TALENT TREE IS SO USEFUL!!! Where has that been all my life! Getting a high reward is always impossible. For example, I spent from 3 PM to 1 AM almost non-stop making an illustration to train myself on how to paint without using lineart, and I got just 3 engagements (2 were two friends and the other one was a random person). I have a bestial headache from straining myself against the screen for so long today, and the reward was... PAIN.

[@YTartschool]

Full class about it here kzbin.info/www/bejne/qqqsfIiEpNukatU ❤ Also you have to do art (initially at least) to please yourself first. Doing something hard for others is almost always guaranteed to disappoint if you don’t love it first. It has to be a bonus ❤

[@oscarchavezart]

A way I found to always keep coming back to drawing was doodling with no care of making anything pretty, the intention is always to scribble and make a mess like a toddler, and in those scribbles I always find cool shapes and forms, that get fleshed out into a cool landscape, character, vehicle, whatever I want it to be. No, I ain't crazy, and I don't take drugs, so anyone that is thinking they have to be in that state of mind, no, you don't.

[@BaretJCR]

Personally, what makes me addicted to drawing is music. Listening to the right music can instantly motivate me to draw, similar to when I'm in a video game and the boss soundtrack comes on, it motivates me to do my best. Also, music helps me focus, be productive and procrastinate less, for example, if I put on some metal music I'm more likely to feel like drawing instead of scrolling through social media endlessly, but be careful as music can also motivate you to play video games, also listening to the same music is counterproductive, it ends up undermining your motivation, it's important to vary the playlist

[@k1ngjup1ter94]

I started going to college for art and illustration but since then I’ve just been drained and honestly repulsed by drawing. I miss the freedom and authentic enjoyment I got out of it when I didn’t have deadlines and shit to worry about. I miss the passion I had for the art.

[@nelsinki5177]

Yes, at my rebirth on drawing I started by playing Dark Souls 2... then I understood Drawing was like Dark Souls and started to lose my sanity on improving... then I feel the need to pass more time on Drawing than in DS... then I started to like my drawings for some reason, probably madness... Then I understood the inmense themes I wanted to study and understood how much I needed to persevere, and It's hard, noone except those who really tried to follow their passion feel that mix between despair and happiness, I still wonder if it's worth, but when I was playing games all day I had that guilt of losing my time, I don't have the same when I draw and paint, maybe that is what really means to follow your passion. Thanks for the video. ^^

A good way to find obvious growth esp. in character design is to make some sort of regular character/mascot Each season give them a new outfit; what do they wear in summer, winter, autumn etc. Then redesign that character each year It's my favourite way as you have someone/thing that evolves and grows as you do, like a tamogotchi you might find new personality traits or discover a new style for them with inspirations etc

[@goatplague344]

Many people in my life (me included lol) mentioned how it's relaxing to just draw silly sketches on a random piece of paper, during classes or on a break at work, that then turn out to be much better looking than when you Sit Down To Drawing To Draw An OMFG/ The Opus Magnum Of My Life That Is Going To Look Beautiful - then it often turns into something stressful and unsatisfying. It's just like you said, there's no risk when you're "just doodling" and since you're not expecting anything fancy, you're more likely to be happy with the results. So setting more realistic goals than "Im gonna get a whole 10/10 illustration done in one setting" if you're not in the focus to do it is going to help out A LOT. Often I notice how people treat what they draw very seriously, as an extension of themselves almost. Aaaand it's a quick path to dissatisfaction. I regained my flow when I let myself actually FAIL. Like, draw a bunch of unappealing stuff, just to get the creative juices flowing. When I try to draw a bigger project and it doesn't go the way i want it to go, I find it's the best to step back and try to draw something else. Once I have distanced myself a bit from it, I look at it again and it's much easier to find what needs to be redesigned.

[@Cheshirecrow]

I found out that whenever I do something else in the middle of a painting, it will always be extremely hard to get back to it. So I had to spend days to finish one, which ended up making me exhausted. So my mind automatically refuses the idea of starting any painting now.

[@wydua]

This is kinda off topic but you can form Pavlovian response for yourself. I use drawing glove for that. I put it on, I focus on art and under any circumstance i do not do anything else even for a split second when wearing it. Basically conditioning the brain into art mode. Kinda works, did not try it for long enough yet to form opinion but there is quite of bond already. Also try it if you have ADHD, and you could use other item for that aswell

Great video as always Marc! All good points, and overlapping with tips with other videos too. Personally the biggest challenge is burn out and time management. I enjoy drawing, but when I'm burned out from work, it can be hard to get the strenght to draw even if the will is there. Granted when burned out you don't have the strenght almost anything. Seeing the progress in an art blog is really encouraging though, recently I've been able to do art studies and works I never thought I'd be able to do, and knowing you can do more motivates me to keep at it.

[@huyphamquoc8923]

well, I used to draw a lot when studying at school, in the middle of the class :P. But at university, because I am learning IT so I have a lot of deadlines that I need to handle and solve problems makes me really exhausted so I give up drawing for a time... As technology increasingly evolves, my current industry is increasingly competitive... Currently, I work in a different field and am still practicing drawing a lot... Drawing has become a part of my hobby now so I just want to enjoy the process and hope that my skill can help me live later on. I work 12h/day, 2 jobs, and still practice drawing at the weekend, on my day off so I hope I can get better...

There's another vid that came out a few months ago called 'How to Get Addicted to Drawing' by goblish (I'd link it but I dunno what policies are about advertising other people's content lol) I highly recommend that vid if you found this one helpful. It also delves into psychological aspects behind 'addiction' and how to motivate yourself to do work that you don't find appealing yet. It also talks a lot about the science behind how positive feedback works on the brain to produce dopamine, which I find is important context since it kind of turns this all from theory into an actual science you can think about and have confidence in. Both of these vids together would prob be very helpful for people who want to draw more but struggle with the motivation side of it!

[@MyNamesHunter75]

One thing that's helped me overall is trying to gamify my life, I got an app that just tracks the number of minutes I do for each of my interests, and trying to beat the score each month is always nice it's a simple app that I just set minimum 30 minutes a day last month I got about 2k minutes in so about 33 hours worth of drawing with mandatory 1 break day a week as to avoid burn out. I apply this to all my hobbies and doing things that you can see immediate results is also a great way to keep my brain engaged I watched a video about, tracing, Drawing, comparing, adjusting, Draw blind, comparing & taking notes then repeating. I end up seeing instant results which makes me more motivated to draw. Along with keeping a good mindset treat yourself how you would a friend as we tend to be overly hard on ourselves. I started approaching my learning this way when I started picking up guitar because in the early stages of guitar, you Improve quickly and it's very instantly motivating. So I've been trying to apply similar principles to art as well along with no background noise (music or videos) while doing anything with learning but allowing it when doing relaxing stuff and things I'm familiar with. I also try to keep practice fun because if the practice is boring you are doing it wrong and should try finding ways to trick your brain into enjoying it because you'll improve quicker

[@L0rar3]

This video does pretty well at summing up my reasons to love art Art taught me how to fail and get up again. Art taught me to be brave enough and allow myself to make mistakes. Art showed me that good rarely means perfect and perfect rarely means good. I'm still super happy that I started drawing when I was in 3rd grade. I originally started because I was bad at it. I was a "gifted" (gosh I hate this term) kid and everything was boring to me, which AT THE SAME TIME prevented me from learning how to fail and learn. I always had extreme motor difficulties and was seeing a therapist for that once-twice a week. My mom and therapist were highly confused about why I would draw when it's so hard for me to hold my hand still, apply the right amount of pressure, not cramp up etc. but to me it was super exciting. It was my first journey into the unknown because it was the first time I knew that I would fail and that made me extremely excited. Those are not the only benefits I got from drawing, it literally was like finally having someone to hold my hand when I felt alone and when noone else was there for me, at least I had art to be with me. I had a difficult, and at many points traumatic, past and childhood, but honestly that strengthened my relationship to art and I love that. Because whenever difficult times come around I know that I'm not alone and have art to turn to. Long story short: I think what's preventing many people (including me) from getting better is the fear of failure; and to let lose of that fear is something you need to learn and practice so whatever you do, don't beat yourself up about it, it's only natural to be afraid sometimes :) Idk if anyone will read up until this point but if you, kind reader of this comment, did, here's a book recommendation for learning these soft skills: Self-compassion - by Kristin Neff

Usually characters keep the original hairstyle through the whole series (except Bulma through DBZ, just for aesthetics), unless something actually drastic or relevant happens to them (Videl got 2 haircuts after her original's in Z: after Gohan tells her that long hair would cause her troubles during fights, and after gettin' Spopovich'd). Usually to portray their personality through it, just like any and every other part of the design.

As a mid level artist I needed to hear this! 14 years hiatus made my art skills go way down and I draw here and there but not to the point where I was used to it everyday. I’m a grown man in its 30s and trust me I love drawing but adult life just keeps you busy all the time I barely have the energy to sit down and draw! I will apply this method and set a challenge to draw as much as I can to improve my habits and motivation. Thanks Marc!!

Always thought my obsession for art was abnormal 💀

[@RetroGhost16]

This really helped me figure out a lot! I realize that i was doing some of those things but only in bits and pieces! Now that i know what exactly those tips are and how to use them hopefully I'll start improving even more!

Oh yeah today’s drawing session is going to be great!! Thank you for the motivation Marc!

Video games also have music which is something artists can use while they make art.

My goal right now is to get a drawing tablet (Galaxy s9fe) and then buying his art classes ! My drawing goals : to be able to draw spider tanks and draw my own ideas 😄 I watched a lot of his videos and never took the step.. I hate money !

[@KinutaMaito]

Drawing is extremely addicting

[@nicoaparta1594]

The difference between drawing and gaming, games mechanics can be easily learned as time goes on there is too little need to master meanwhile in drawing there is a fecking ton to master and memorize

[@Lobstrique]

this advice is genius!! thank you, will try it!

[@macherel-c5v]

This only works with a refernce, but what I do to find the mistake is to grab my drawing, then put it over the reference. Then I'd try to draw it again with those things it mind, then soon enough, it becomes second nature.

I loved armored core and elden ring soooo much
