Making Art Shouldn't Make You Broke!

[@Blick_Art]

Great message- pressure to make art "for the ages" should not apply to work done for skill building and maintenance. If you're concerned about permanence in sketches, though, there are tons of affordable products. Bring that $10 (or whatever your budget) to the art supply store and tell one of the artists working there, "What's the most I can get for this?" and we promise you'll never see anybody so happy to take up a challenge!

[@ssavaart]

Love this. And thank you for saying so. I get so many of my art supplies from Blick (online) and wish I had one of your stores nearby. ♥

[@executorarktanis2323]

yeh every video

[@froggyjulia]

that is because art is subjective and ones trash could be anothers masterpiece. it is all about how someone perceives it :)

[@executorarktanis2323]

@@froggyjulia i don't think art is subjected (well i know it's true but) every art is a form of displaying or explaining what the artist trying to express and hating any art is hating what they express (i know all the stuff like what if they draw a stick man for art) it's like when they put some effort in it effort is subjective for him it wasn't that hard to produce but for us it's gold you get it :D it's just a healthy discussion also my longest comment.

I gotta take note of this more often. I'm trying to get into studying references more, for studying anatomy, maybe some values and color, background studies, objects, places and clothes, etc. It's also fun making character designs and trying to build up the skills to bring them to life!

This is exactly the sort of video l've been wanting to make, actually...you beat me to the punch! All points stand: you don't need a lot to make art.

[@goldenchipmunk]

whenever I watch your videos, not only do I get more inspired to draw but also feel good about living in the same world as someone like you.

I am literally so happy that I started watching your content! I’ve been drawing since birth and these last couple years I got into using pens and copic markers. This last month I started watercolor for the first time and absolutely love it! No doubt still learning to get the hang of it but your art inspired me to branch out and for that, I sincerely thank you Scott.

[@AgonusLastname]

This guys gotta be one of the most inspiring artist I’ve ever had the honour to see. He makes such amazing art in such a wholesome way and he’s just an amazing person in general. I could do so much with your talent but for now I’m focusing on what I can do. Which is something I learned from him. My god he’s such an amazing and inspiring person.

Everytime I bought a pencil with an eraser at the end, the eraser is too hard and the pink colour just stains my paper 🤧💀

[@pendlera2959]

Get some of those white cap erasers if you need something attached to the pencil. Otherwise a white dustless eraser or kneaded eraser works best.

I love the fact that you dont only teach people about how to do art or how to draw how most artists that are also youtubers/tiktokers,you show us what materials that is a very important thing,but not as important as motivating people,something that you are able to do with every single one of your videos!

Art should be available to everyone… 100% agree! My sister is an artist, my mom used to be one (she still does it, but much less than before), and every tool is crazy expensive!
