Maybe the difficulty is in understanding perspective.

[@astramari28]

If you start understanding the sides on an object and how they are viewed from different angles art could be easier, that's why you use simpler geometrtical shapes to draw structure-lines, to understand from what angle, what detail and where you'e suposed to draw that detail. That is where the use of 3d-shapes comes in.

Sometime what you feel can only be expressed through violent warm colors in a contrasting cool background and the form doesn't really matter. That is True Art. An expression of your disdain and disgust of the world you experience. (I may be making this comment from a toxic headspace. That too is an expression of art, in a way)

[@jaspx-2964]

To be completely honest, most of the actual artistic things and the stuff I do, I do it out of spite. Out of spite of stuff people think about how much I can do or not do. Out of spite of their perception and expectations of me. Of their pre-concieved notion of me. Once they pigeonhole me into only being able to do one thing good, I do the absolute other thing right in front of their face. And I do it the best way it could have been done. The second I spot even the slightest of ceiling being placed above me, I smash it into pieces. Because how dare they try to judge what is and what isn't my limit. I do not expect that spite to fuel me forever, but right now, it shows no signs of running out. Because people never run out of discouraging and shitty things to say. And that has taught me, that spite is a renewable resource.

Here's some tips to all aspiring artists out there: You're going to draw a lot of bad things in the beginning. That's okay. No one is a master when they first start out. Just accept you're going to not be good at the start but that with each day you practice, you get 1% better. Just aim to be 1% better. In 100 days you'll be 100% better than you were when you started. It's really liberating to free yourself of this yolk of being a "good artist". Take yourself back to that time when you were a kid, experimenting with what you perceive, not caring if what you draw is good or bad. Study the fundamentals but don't spend 100% of your time studying. Do a bit of studying and a lot of experimentation. Look at your favorite artists, art that inspires you. Think about, 'How would I draw that?' and try to deconstruct it. Pay attention to small details and really examine the relation of details in relation to each other. How does a child learn anything? By imitating older people, people with more experience. You learn to say your first words by listening to your parents talk. Try to learn like this again. Sketch a lot. I think it is better to just sketch things at first. Don't put hours and hours into a drawing, coloring it, shading it, painstakingly composing it, etc. Because the more time you put into a piece, the more resilient you will be to criticism of that piece. Fail fast, fail often. You want to fail drawing 500 heads, so that by the time you're drawing head 501, you're getting pretty good. Fall in love with the process. The fun part isn't drawing something amazing that everyone looks at and gives you compliments about. If anything that is a lot of pressure and just isn't fun, it's work. The fun part is the magic of drawing lines on a canvas and slowly seeing shapes and patterns and figures emerge. It's really something enchanting.

[@squid2754]

i play music (somewhat) yet most of the ppl i surround myself with are artists. they can draw, they can paint, they can animate, whatever. i’ve always felt that art was so much harder than music because you had to actually cReAtE instead of just perform something that was already created. do i have to compose in order to call myself a musician? or are these two types of art both pretty hard and takes time to master just like every skill in the world somehow i just always feel like they’re more talented..

[@TonyDemetriou]

@@chloelylamusic You do it by doing it. When I started drawing I literally had to practice drawing lines. I filled pages with circles and boxes. I drew grids then drew circles in the boxes trying to touch the sides. It's slow and frustrating and I felt like I'd never be able to draw. But every week, even if I couldn't draw well, I was more skilled than the week before. The same happened when you learnt guitar. You don't think about it anymore, but you had to learn strumming before your practice made it become automatic. Put a sketchbook and pencil next to your couch, and just fill it with... whatever... while you watch TV. Fill a page with lines going from dark to light lines. Thick to thin. Squiggles. Small to large rectangles. Don't even worry about what they look like or think much about what you're going to draw. Just give your brain time to practice the physical movement and link it to how the lines look. Then you'll just want a line in a particular place and it'll happen, like how on the guitar you want to strum a pattern and it just happens.

[@DenvaProbablyDraws]

I personally have been drawing for 12-13 years, and I’m pretty good now. To become good at art, all you have to do is have fun doing it. If you take it super seriously early on, you’ll get stressed and confused. You’ll get stuck and give up. Just try to draw the most interesting thing to you, whether it be copying a really cool photo, or making something you imagined would be really cool on paper. These are two main ways to learn, and I *personally* chose the path of imagining my own drawings. Extra stuff to read if you really want more details (because I really like talking about this lol): If you choose to draw from memory, or imagination, it will look amazing in your head, but when you put it on paper it will almost always look worse than imagined. Don’t feel bad about this, because doing it this way is really fun in the future, even if it’s hard now. However it’s easier to get artist block this way, because you’re constantly having to come up with new ideas, and if you do feel like you’re out of ideas, just draw something you’ve never drawn, and try a new style. Choosing to copy a photo is a lot easier, and usually turns out better because you can constantly refer to the reference image. People who draw like this make better art faster, but the downside is that later on you will have a TINY bit more trouble making your own pictures without copying anatomy. And it’s bad to get into the habit of always copying the same artist, because then you may develop their style instead of your own, which is fine, but not the best.

People are so ignorant when it comes to art now. They completely ignore how it's _never_ easy, how you can only improve. "i cAn oNlY dRAW a stiCkmAn whIlE ThEyRe dRAwinG mOnA liSa!!" -for example. It's kind of harmful to other artists in my opinion. Those people now expect others to draw something *straight* from their head in 5 minutes. It's not just drawing. Imagine you're trying to lift a weight you've been having trouble on, but you just 'can't'.. would you automatically give up? I would without realizing because it's hard to remember you only improve. But.. i am trying to. Just a little rant.

[@helgenlane]

Only that when lifting weights you shouldn't aim at something big, but at something bigger than what you currently can lift. But when drawing, you are always aiming for perfection, because why would you care about improving one little detail, when everything else is still a complete rubbish. Buuut, if you are just trying to draw better, it's still hard to see improvement, there are no scales that tell how good of an artist you are.

Art is hard. I’ve been studying music for about half my life, and yet nearly everyday day I question my perspective. With every new concept we learn, a perspective we had shattered. It may feel like one step forward and two steps back, but it’s honesty the opposite; it’s something hard to see from your internal bias perspective. But as many of us stop, either by false expectations or you reached the point you wanted to end at, most artists don’t completely stop. Because we can’t. And as said many times before by Adam Neely, We peruse music (or any art form in this matter) because we can’t see ourselves doing anything else. We peruse music because we have to.

At my academy, some people study there from 8 in the morning to 11 at night. Those guys are bloody CRACKED. I do my art right across those students studios, and whenever I go to wash my hands I see their shit. It's actually insane. They often spend entire years perfecting a single subject. I see people who have entire mini-kitchens in their studios because of how often they are in them.Their walls have multiple life sized model drawings that THEY MADE on them. It's actually terrifying. But academy's like this aren't as easily accessible as they once were. Most of the students at this academy do it full time. No idea where they get their income, but I assume they're uber rich if they are consistently buying the infamously expensive "lead-white oil paint" for their paintings.

Yeah, whenever I ask people how long they think it takes to get moderately good at art they say " oh, 2 years?" Or sometimes even lower. It doesn't take a short amount of time, there's a lot of studying and hard work to be put in everyday.

I’m one of those people who see others succeed so easily where I see I’m struggling. Makes me want to quit, the constant thought of “if they can do what does it matter if I can’t? It’s all worthless in the end.” But an unexplainable drive keeps me Drawing and creating. I want to quit once I poor everything I’ve got out, and compared to someone else who just whipped it up makes mine look like chicken scratch. Just keep moving forward; cause even if you don’t see your hard work for what is, someone else does. Someone’s always watching, looking up to you and taking in tips. It gets really rough, but doesn’t everything in life? Persevere, and grow. Wonderful video man.

"you can't be wrong in art, it's YOUR STYLE" the core of art (or life in general, really) is trial and error. You can't get better if you can't tell or don't want to know what you're doing wrong. You can't improve if you are complacent or scared of people "hating" your works. edit: i gotta say, I find your stick figure animatics very mesmerizing and comfortable to look at compared to the blob people that animated storytime KZbinrs always use.

@@ipotatosenpai7002 objectively, no art is better than other art. of course, theres still a clear direction in which people say that your art is good or bad, but thats because of your brain. if your brain was rewired to like extremely sharp stuff for whatever reason, poorly drawn spikes would be better looking than a sandwich to you.

"am I actually an idiot?" yeah I feel this one so hard especially while learning the fundamentals. it's tough, I almost want to just give up and do something else entirely, but I can't this is the path I have chosen and there isn't any other way except by doing the work it takes to acquire the skills I need. for anyone who ever feels down about themselves and or their art just remember that you do have a voice and it will just take some time to find it and hear it clearly enough to drown out everything else. I'm not quite at that level yet but I know I do feel something when I do draw something I can be happy about. Don't worry about how long the process is, just focus your attention towards how you can improve your drawings the next time you visit them. Never give up hope!

Ok, storytime (beware, you might punch the wall next to you from frustration): so, I was basically practising questions for my english exams and one of the questions was something about hobbies. So I answered (it was painting, which is hard ofc) and the following question was ''is your hobby hard?'' SO AS SOMEONE WHO KNOWS HOW TF PAINTING IS I SAID ''YES, IT IS''. AND THAT MF I WAS PRACTISING WITH SAID ''What? No it isn't.'' AND THEN I SAID ''Have you tried?'' AND HIS OOMPA LOOPA BRAIN SAID ''Uh no, but art isn't that hard.'' MY BLOOD WAS BOILING AND YOU WHATS EVEN WORSE? MY TEACHER, WHO ALSO DRAWS AGREED WITH HIM. I WANTED TO GRAB ONE OF MY PAINTINGS AND HIT THEIR HEADS WITH THEM OH LORD. MY TEACHER LITERALLY SAID ''Painting can be hard when you're not feeling inspired'' FEELING INSPIRED?! THAT'S THE HARD PART?! I LITERALLY SAID ''I'd love to see you try.'' AND THREW (well kind of threw) A PENCIL AND MY TEXTBOOK AT MY STUDY PARTNER AND TOLD HIM TO DRAW ME. Ofc he fucking didnt, BECAUSE HE CAN'T :) We moved on with the lesson tho, I still hate him for that.

[@Kiwi-hl2to]

I've been through a similar situation, and it just makes me so angry to see how such ignorant people behave. I can't believe they have the audacity to say something they cannot even do "Isn't that hard", it is very, very, difficult and takes years to master. Yes, I'd like to see them try to paint or draw something. I'd like to punch them in the stomach and make them do something artistic. I'd like to see their faces when they can't draw anything.

As a somewhat beginner in art i could definitely say it is very hard and sometimes scary lmao. there are still levels i haven’t reached yet and i don’t know if i ever will i feel like sometimes i could clueless and stupid in art lol. the feeling of frustration of can’t get it right and that i will probably never get better and evolves at it haunts me

Same. Also the fear of the future creeping up on you and you not getting good enough fast enough. But I suppose if there's anything we can learn from this video, it's that it's all gonna be fine. Just gotta keep going.

[@jahzarajanineperono2281]

Yeah I feel you. There's a moment of time when I think that I'm not good enough to draw the THING and that made me discontinue the piece and decided to give up but there's a part of me that wants to continue because drawing is the only skill I can do but decided to give it up anyways. That's what scares me that what if I work so hard but didn't still get the THING. But now that I watched the video I have a motivation on starting drawing again.

This video speaks volumes to me. I've been recently struggling with how I feel about myself and art and I kept comparing myself to other people and it was a vicious cycle that wasn't getting any better. But this, this really helped clear my mind of a few issues. Not everything is fixed but it definitely makes me feel better to know I'm not the only one who feels this way. Thank you so much for this.

Duuuuude, feel that "having to start over" aspect. I've been drawing since I was 13/14, but last year I've had a whole new mindset shift and feel like I went back to 0. Albeit with some rudimentary skills. Are there 20 year olds who have amazing talent? Of course, but I have to just follow my journey.
