MY ADVICE TO YOUNG ARTISTS || 30 Days of Art Episode 26

[@Aya-ef8on]

it's never too late. I always tell my dad I love his sketches and he should dabble in art. I don't think he believes in himself, but he does have immense appreciation for artists... he has interest and background knowledge... I wish he would someday create something that everyone will see. if you're reading this, hi, plz do this

[@aftrart395]

That's so awesome that you're encouraging dad to follow his passion! Even if it's just for himself, taking that step is so important. Do you make art too?

[@doodlingpotato5655]

美海 this made me sad and smile a bit, I hope he continues with his art. Good luck to you both!

[@Mik_Pick]

I didn't start painting until I was 22. Luckily I think you can start painting or doing art at any age, but I am a bit envious of those who have had art in their life (or the opportunity to have art in their life) from a very young age. Great advice Happy!

[@amaya403017]

Michael O'Keefe Paintings I am so glad I read your comment. When I was young I used to draw every day but after a while I stopped. Currently Im 23 years and I have this desire to draw and create but I dont have talent like I want. And I have been thinking to give up because I feel like I am too late to learn. But your comment gave me hope.

[@Mik_Pick]

amaya403017 Go for it! I'm no expert with drawing (Though you're already on the right channel to get help on that), but I'm sure the key to any kind of art is to just do it! Even if you're not totally happy with your first creations, just keep practicing and the talent will come! :)

[@amaya403017]

Michael O'Keefe Paintings. Thanks a lot! Take care ❤

[@yaril9191]

It'll take longer when your older, but it's never said that it isnt impossible ! ;) Good luck men !

[@zie6353]

i am the exact same, 22 and now get anxiety whenever I draw because of all the pressures I put on myself. I'm making it my mission to start drawing silly things again, basically allow myself to fail. I recommend watching How to Find Artistic Inspiration! by sketchynatalia and also 'Overcoming Artist's Block · Productivity and Inspiration Tips and Prompts' by minnie small. Another tip is to draw as soon as you wake up so you are less guarded. Hope this helps

[@supernerdo13]

It would of been cool if youd done it so the moth was dripping so it was like tears too.

[@fairylights3064]

Sparky The fox nice idea

[@HappyDArtist]

Great idea! I shall try to incorporate it in future paintings in this series :D

[@siulmaduena6436]

Hi Happy D. Artist I am 14 and wanting to go to an art program for summer (cssa) and I was wondering if you have any tips on how to draw more of the body since I have been drawing since I small but didn't really bother about the body, only shoulders up. please respond. P.S your my favourite artist!💙

[@ellu...]

siul maduena There's a website (line-of-action.com/practice-tools/figure-drawing/) where you can practice figure drawing and a youtube channel called onairvideo if you don't mind nude models :)

[@iashrai]

I have used the website Ellu is talking about. I would recommend it as well.

[@alicenguyen422]

Youre are one of the few artist that keep me wanting to draw, thank you♥

[@zoem.s.2058]

Alice Nguyen is that a lil yoongi😅😊

[@alicenguyen422]

Yep

[@krn.00.75]

Profile picture 👌🏻

[@Bunefoo401]

How incredibly cool. That iris looks like a shattered marble or a diamond with a million facets ... this is fabulous

[@Phoenix-li1hq]

I'm just a Fourteen year old and people usually don't except much from my art. Your video on young people inspired me . The say you see art and express it is very unique. thanks for the video! Not many people make these specifically for young artists

[@Marie_Daisy]

I'm in middle school and love lad art even when all I could do was scribble. I always thought it was a natural talent so I never practiced. Then it hit me PRACTICE! Now I made up for all the last years I have not practiced and I think I'm at my appropriate age level and will get much better this year!

[@jannatanwer7477]

I'm 15 years old i have been drawing since my childhood all this time i didn't think of making it a part of my life but i realized how beautiful art can be & how much art is a part of me it's something that i will always want 2 do but actually I'm really Lucky cuz i literally achieved in less than 3 month what others achieved in years & it's all back 2 my base since i was little but I'm still learning & there's tons & tons for me 2 do but I'm happy that I'm working on my art right now & not just wasting time

[@chmeezeball]

I'm 12 and this made me inspired and I have the motivation now! My sister always makes me think of how bad I am because she always says to each and every drawing, even if I'm proud of it that it's ugly. But she said those were just tips and I couldn't take criticism.... but you really help me.... I just found you today and I already love you!!:) really made my day(it's night)

[@AutomHatter]

This close up painting was very refreshing, and also great to see the paint up close! It's hard to tell sometimes the minute techniques from far away. I learned a lot, thank you Happy D!

[@steffvargas3036]

Finally someone who cares about the kids!!!!(or at least that I know)!!!

[@meganw1355]

I love that eye, the iris almost looks like some sort of crystal ball with natural cracks in it, very cool effect.

[@jack_bunny27]

eyes are my muse and passion thanks for this I have loved since I was little I loved the humans face and body the most.

[@jessc6865]

I have been doing art since kindergarten just as a child usually would but I got into it in year 5 then stopped and in year 7 I've started again. I'm in year 9 at the moment and I'm being self taught since for my electives I cannot do art because there are not enough people in the class. This is really helpful because without your advice and other artists I probably wouldn't be where I am today and I wouldn't even be making art so THANKYOU SO MUCH

[@eves9207]

This video is very true to me. I started my art journey in middle school, but I didnt draw that often as I liked or practice seriously then. Now that im in college, im trying to make up for lost time and practice. I wish i would have taken it seriously when i was a kid like my peers, but to me it is better starting now than never starting at all.

[@pencilmakesart7227]

Im so glad your channel exists. You have such good advice and I think that you explain it very well!!

[@heatherheath9980]

I really like it! I'm trying to picture who the eye is attached to, but you definitely nailed the mystical feeling.

[@harmanvirk8869]

This is my favorite painting you have painted yet

[@clarissaparker-ngowakl6778]

I know this video is from January, but I just HAD to comment on the fact that if you stop it is SO HARD to start up again.. it's like torture when you have all of these ideas and inspiration but when you finally go to create, you see your skills are just not what you feel they should be and everything you do is wrong or ugly and it'll be so dang hard yo complete anything. so please don't take any breaks, don't stop... always work on your craft...

[@tee6350]

I'm 11 and ever since like a year ago, I have been really intrested in art and I can see myself finding my own style and progressing

[@Noffilus]

when i was young, i used to draw on the walls, basically on every surface that was available for me to draw on, and my mom got mad every time i drew on the walls or the table, and since then i've continued to draw every day and it helped me allot so to all of you that want to improve, draw every day and at some point you will see improvement, and that will motivate you more to draw and it will make you happy

[@stephaniemathers1238]

Omg! I love how your painting appears like it is glowing. Such beautiful work. Thank you for making videos.

[@keyurim6923]

Your just so talented, this kind of helped me find more about my art style, I love spacey, fantasy things

[@ivannama8289]

Once again, thank you for this amazing advice. I'm in middles school and I guess I will apply it to my daily life. Plus, I guess I can say that your artwork inspires me so much with my writing. I know I'm very young and my writing isn't that good, but your art has so much meaning that stories come to me instantly and I have seen I have improved. You're amazing

[@EnolaElorie]

I love how your own beauty (inside and outsinde) is reflected in every single one of your pieces...

[@theninjacalledbasilisk7770]

Speaking as a fellow artist, I think you have accomplished your goals for this painting. It is amazing!! I got a serenely eerie feeling from it. A mystery, a natural force. Now, I want to paint something like that! I too grew up drawing. My mom got me into drawing when I first could hold a pencil to keep me occupied. I was very very energetic when I was little.

[@rissalaroche4906]

I think it would be really interesting if you did a sort of series revolving around this concept, like otherworldly, dark, alien, but beautiful and almost mesmerizing in some ways.

[@sarahaltaher7857]

this art piece is truly inspiring and I was able to think of a story for it the second I saw the painting. I love ur channel very much

[@freakthatmimi7680]

OH MY LORD!! THANK YOU SO MUCH!! YOU HAVE HELPED ME IMPROVE MY ART SO MUCH!!!

[@larissayamamoto5380]

This is sooo pretty, and I'm always impressed how the paints start just more like stains(in a really good way, I'm just not good at english to make a good comparison) and then puff it's incredible. Since I didn't have much contact with paintings it always amazes me. And thank you for the tips, you really do inspire me. Have a nice week

[@nannar_orion]

It's just amazing! Fall in love in tour artworks!

[@RoyalNight7]

I love the way you composed this piece!! I really enjoy how you explain your pieces.

[@earthchildmarket3256]

This is my favorite piece you've done so far! I'm fascinated with the moon and love painting my own interpretations of her. I've also been creating art since I was very young. I was always drawing. I didn't start painting some until I was in my teens. I was lucky that I've always had supportive parents.

[@fabiolaminerali9512]

This painting really inspired me and I now have some ideas for new pieces, thank you!

[@ajillustration8851]

This is beautiful. I think it would be really cool to see a series of eyes with all the different planets and moons in our solar system. Love the haunting look in the eye!

[@ajillustration8851]

Also, thank you for all of the advice and taking time to post! As a fellow freelance artist whom just graduated, it's nice to see someones success and gain guidance :)

[@breatheinboi7151]

I'm almost 12 and I started drawing when I was 9 and I've noticed I've progressed a lot thanks for the useful info I could really use it :)

[@Kamii96]

Thank you for the advice! I've always enjoyed drawing, but at the same time I didnt enjoy it because I felt I wasnt good enough. And everyone just said "oh ur so good", but I didnt really think that myself. Maybe because I knew I could've used a lot more effort. I went to drawing school, learned alot about every technique there is to know about in the artworld. And now, I see all these amazing paintings and those who can draw anything just by mind! So I've decided to try at least. SO thank you for this video and some of these comments that helps for the motivation and to know that one has to work for it to accomplish it! That is something I never understood.

[@danielthecarrot9116]

saying practice every day is the best advice. I started 1 year ago, but I drew faces every. day. I made new friends, and I improved greatly. my best pictures I've done were in November, but homework has stopped me drawing at lunch. so, I'm getting an app to make sure I'm drawing.

[@martinamadrzak]

Blingirl what's the app

[@sacha5985]

I love the time you put in to improving your art, how you try what you want to! it's amazing

[@playlist2167]

This painting is so beautiful! The concept is so great!

[@TttOnion]

thank you for your advice. im 14 and i just stop practicing for a week.. i can see myself doing art very bad lately now i see why. THANKS

[@tbrookerart]

Wahh this turned out so pretty! Great advice too, I agree! :)

[@baldeggsandwhich2174]

I feel like u can draw the most difficult thing and make it look like a plan photo that u pulled out of your gallery on your phone. Your so incredibly talented and I love your work and I hope to have some of your art skills when I get older

[@1Ophelia18]

Absolutely brilliant captivating image! Leaves so much to the imagination….Love it! Thanks for sharing your experience.

[@LaurenMakai]

I really like the advice and painting . Always so uplifting .🎨😊🌕

[@averydinh5978]

Wow thanks! Please do a video on how to think of things to draw and paint!

[@purinchan9469]

this is so gorgeous :3 I really like your idea of the moon as Eyeball

[@shirousa207]

I'm only 9 years old, and I've been drawing for many years now. It makes me wonder how my art will look like in 10-20 years. It just amazes me.

[@naomi5450]

Hi! I'm just like you. I started drawing as soon I was able to hold a pencil. I practise every day because I wanna do art just like you. I'm 11,5 and i am really happy how I draw. So I hope you get even better at art. Have a nice day!

[@imogencrawf0rd979]

Within the first 2 minuets u did such a simple thing to do the skin and it looks smooth and realistic

[@huh5007]

Gorgeous work! The moon is so captivating. Happy, would you consider making an "oil painting basics" tutorial or something similar to that? I'd love to hear your thoughts for beginner oil painters.

[@michaelankry4702]

You are amazing!!!!. Your paintings are something else !!!!!!

[@dusky7611]

I have always liked drawing, also on walls like you and on the floor :D I was learning how to shade when I was 13 and then came back to drawing as 17 years old, If I didnt stop drawing as a teenager I could be better now :)

[@laurenmichelle2209]

I just came across your channel today and I already love it so much! As a young artist, this video was really inspiring and I plan to follow your art and your channel for a long time :)

[@dananto4576]

THIS PAINTING IS AMAZING!!!

[@bellekullmer1692]

This is absolutely beautiful.

[@suicilla8120]

Im ten years old and I just got my new 9 x 12 Mix Media Sketchbook and I'm going to take your advice and draw everyday!

[@yee8789]

Your arts are Honestly so amazing! I'm 12 years old and I really wanna be artist like you! You really inspired me . I wanna draw like a poetic and magical arts and i found you

[@mariad4246]

Haha you had the EYEdia 😂 beautiful painting 💕

[@franchi9951]

bad puns give me life

[@paulhampton5918]

+franchi ha exactly

[@michaelazelenuk7578]

your art inspires me so much!!

[@teenietoad]

Okay, I love painting and everything but I can never think of what to paint or draw when i want to. I'm good with the assignments given to me but when i want to draw on my own, I just end up with the most basic form of a girl. Advice?

[@reedbej4822]

Kiya Hay try looking up writing prompts and interpreting that into a drawing/painting

[@trinafool]

artprompts.org/ pencilcat.tumblr.com/post/27420093968/30-days-of-art-improvement-challenge

[@franchi9951]

same.... I'm trying to solve that by drawing or painting random objects and body parts over and over again with and without reference. when I start getting better at doing that I draw more ''surreal'' versions of those objects? idk but I got some nice paintings out of doing that

[@ameliamassoth8241]

Kiya Hay oh, hey Brendan urie!

[@teenietoad]

weirdo_emo_ gymnastAmelia It irritates me that you said Brendan.

[@potatopotato5127]

I need a job but when I get one and hopefully soon I think I'm gonna buy a print of this drawing it's so beautiful amazing work

[@emilyparker7043]

I think I literally changed my view of life the second I saw a recommended video by you. I think life will be different now. And I possibly just found a way to find a unique style. 😄😁😍🤗😁☺️😊🤑😛😜😱😻😻😻

[@mspotato4576]

what's funny is that about a month before this, I drew a close up eye and its the polar opposite of done lol. Mine was done with water based markers and only had warm colors with an exception for green. But I'm only 12, so it looks realistic but not quite as fine tuned as yours. This is a great work of art! I hope I can become as skilled at detailed art as you are

[@demolitionlovers4815]

Can I just say, I LOVE YOUR STYLE SO MUCH ITS PERFECT OKAY

[@josephablack759]

you achieved this feeling well

[@bronwynmccobb8034]

im one of the younger once who watch your Channle your awesome keep doing what your doing

[@jojo1059]

THIS IS AMAZING AND I LOVE HOW IT'S DARK AND EERIE YET GORGEOUS AND BEAUTIFUL!! Good job! xx

[@eveeichner3627]

Very cool eye.....Great advice Happy.

[@just_a_lil_gremlin1096]

Beautiful painting great advise 😄👍 you're an artist I look up to

[@KiarasStudio]

Love this piece. So dark and mysterious. Hauntingly beautiful!

[@yukikesso8089]

Ur drawings are a piece of creativity, My Mom doesn’t understand art, she just say it’s scary cause it’s not very realistic and human like,I really like it, she said I could only draw during the day because I might get night mares lol but u might help me draw more by kinda referencing body parts, thank u for existing on KZbin!

[@lauraxx2266]

Amazing piece. You're so gifted and I'm glad you share your skills! 🖤😻 I love that whenever I watch your videos I get inspired... thank you

[@HelloooAmber]

This is so beautiful! I would love to see her as a full creature! 👽💕

[@lunavankasteren]

i love it, its beautiful close up but still so out of this world. just like your other pieces

[@gracemcnerney4092]

I love your videos INSANE AMOUNTS!! You are so inspiring ❤️️❤️️❤️️❤️️❤️️❤️️❤️️❤️️

[@tobiasoliver5089]

I love the painting, it is so pretty!

[@bo-youngskpoptrash7572]

God thank you so much I m 13 years old and I have been drawing sense I was in 3 grade and my art skills have really improve thank you so much for that type ^ ^

[@MsPoliteRants]

You have wonderful parents. My dad told me art isn't a real job so I basically stopped doing it toward the end of college. Now I'm 26 trying to get back into art and I feel so stagnant and my art level is like it was 12 years ago. Feeling really discouraged.

[@giaonguyen3799]

I started drawing since 3 I think, and I'm now 14. My parents also recognize my art passion, they just let me do art all I want, they didn't encourage, but didn't separate me from art neither. If some event happen in my life, that desire to stop me from doing art, I'll pass it, and continue to draw. No one in my life can stop me. However, I don't even understand myself, when younger, I always just draw draw and draw, having the biggest passion ever, but I never started practice seriously (I started 1 year or so ago) I remember my art teacher in Vietnam told my friend about me that I was really "talented" (like I have the potential or smth) but why didn't I practice seriously so that I can get into my school's art competition group? I don't know, thinking back, I thought I wasn't ready? If anyone was like me, just start okay, just start, the longer you start seriously into art, the better, good luck to you all ٩( 'ω' )و

[@ShellFell2Hell]

Wow this gave me so much insperation! And thanks for your advice

[@1Ophelia18]

It would be so cool if you did a series of painted eyes in many different colors and themes!

[@gabriellafj701]

It was dark nd poetic nd so beautiful, thank you for the advice!

[@amaya8901]

Thanks for dedicating it to young artists I'm one of those young artists I'm 9

[@amieaustin9579]

This inspired me so much! Thank you. For your next video you should try doing a snowstorm goddess with snowflakes in her icy blue hair and gray-blue eyes, and a white dress with bright blue snowflakes on it. that would be beautiful.

[@neysamartinez5889]

I think this painting turned out very peaceful and magical in a very wonderful way 🌑 Also, I will follow this tip dearly because I really want to improve better and take my art way seriously than I used to and once I'm older I can't wait to see my improvement 😌 (Btw I'm 12 yrs old!!!💙)

[@jamilcharles5674]

love you happy!!!

[@brittaniereed7510]

Absolutely beautiful! Not surprised that perfection comes from you though. :)

[@georgiaderousse760]

I agree with you. I wanted to practice realism at 10 years old. I told myself that I could draw cartoons like most kids my age but I will never actually truly understand the techniques like shading or anatomy until I'm older. Kids always say that realism is boring and I need my own style. But I don't think that's true. Realism can be beautiful but I do need my own style. I think I've come to a point where I know realism well enough to draw in my own style. But I want it to be semi-realistic. And now I see I understand art more than the other art kids in my grade. I'm not trying to brag or say that I'm naturally born gifted but I worked really hard to get here and the other kids didn't really do anything. They never self criticize and when I point out little flaws to help them to give them constructive criticism they get mad at me. I'm not saying my art is perfect I know I have a lot of flaws and people can point them out but I won't get mad. Kids my age are just overly defensive. That's why when someone shows off a drawing to other kids I normally stay silent so no one gets mad.

[@heenavalecha]

im 18 rn, i guess its not too late...? .. i dont draw much from past 2 years. Need to start it all over again :) .. thankyou soo much inspiring as always :* xx

[@lulygb]

I know she said that is better to start young, but is never too late. Even if you are 70 you can start making art

[@ALExIA483lovesBLOOD]

If you want to draw, please don't stop! I stopped for 5 years and started again now at 23, it's never too late if you want it. :)

[@heenavalecha]

Lucy Mcrae aww thnx ^~^

[@heenavalecha]

Alexia 483 ty for motivating :))

[@jawarablake]

Great advice and beautiful art.

[@NitetimeMoon]

Beautifully done! You are very talented!

[@deomapile1721]

Thank you for your inspiration Happy thank you very much.Im also 11

[@LarisaCarliArt]

I have been watching your videos for like 5 hours today, you have so many interesting videos and they are all so helpful and relatable I just can't stop! Another absolutely beautiful painting, really really powerful and smartly chosen colors, I can't believe how good you are at your style of painting :) And luna is also a Slovene word for moon (my native language) :D

[@vidyawitch]

Beautiful painting. Thank u for sharing. Not everyone has the life situation where they have the luxury of encouragement in art during the younger years. People can be good at art even after their thirties, if they want to. The amazing pencil artist Emmy Kalia started drawing after her thirties. Check out her videos on KZbin. She says she never even doodled before that. And her art is absolutely amazing! I am sorry to say that the subtext of this advice is discouraging to those who didn't have the luxury of art in their younger years. Sad that this comes from an amazing and inspiring artist like Happy. And once again, the eye painting is absolutely gorgeous. Learning so much from you girl, thank u so much for sharing your art. Have a good day!

[@28idle]

your art is so good and gorgeous. I cannot express how much I fell in love with it

[@mauiejonas4617]

the painting looks great! feels so mystical! i like how the luna moth's color stood out! can you do a video all about galleries someday?

[@ALExIA483lovesBLOOD]

Almost same story but different "final". I've always been attracted to art, I remember when I was a little child my father brought home tons of white paper from work, and my mother bought me pencils, colors etc. I've spent most of the days drawing and watching illustrated books. Then I started elementary school and people found out I was good in math and science too. After that all my life has been pushed to follow the scientific studies for a future career, I started spending less and less time drawing till my teen ages when I stopped drawing in front of people and didn't want them to look at my works. 5 years ago I started university (Molecular Biology) and I completely stopped drawing (one of the worst decision I've ever made so far in my life). This christmas I finally was able to purchase a graphic tablet at the age of 23, despite the whishes of my parents. Re-starting drawing after 5 years it's like drawing when I was 10 years old, as you said, skills deteriorate if not used. Btw I'm happy to hear that your parents encouraged you :) you're a very talented Artist in my opinion :)

[@crustycrabpizza4581]

OMG I WAS WAITING FOR THISSSSSS

[@Rin_ii444]

this was a beautiful painting, you inspire me soo much to improve my drawings and my confidence! Thank you!🤗
