[@marinak5514]

@@kittenmimi5326 I think it can be, if you learn theory without practice, but it is still practice in some way) I stopped drawing so many times for a really long time and never I started to suddenly draw better after this. Maybe my progress was a bit faster after those breaks, but I think it's because of me passive observating things around me, if you wanna call it improve by existing, let it be :) but I prefer active practice, than passive observation. Sorry for my English. P.s. it depends on what does improvement mean for you. For me it is technics, correct proportions, realism. I just can't improve those without practice. My whole life full of start and stoops proved me this 100%. Maybe other people are more lucky, than me.

Okay full transparency. This is the first video of yours I have ever seen. This video popped up in my recommended and I saw the artwork and I thought "That's pretty nifty, let's watch this." I barely even paid attention to the artwork, I was mainly just listening to what you were saying because I got distracted by other things I was doing. Your words made a large impact on me. I have realized what my issue is. It doesn't make sense right now because you don't know me, but I have been struggling with some things lately and I've just kind of started shoving them aside and pretending that they don't exist and just trying to fix the symptoms instead of fixing the actual problem. But I think through listening to your words I have learned how to fix the actual problem, and I am incredibly grateful to you.

[@grottoserpentina9342]

My mother was a semi-professional artist. By the time I was 12 years old she had successfully convinced me (in the cruelest words possible) that I was NEVER going to be as good an artist as her. One day she had torn up all my drawings ( that I had taped to my bedroom wall) and left them in a big pile on my bed. To this day ( I'm over 50) I still fight that little voice in my head that says I'm not a good artist. I have accepted that my art is my therapy. The fact that "other " people may not like my work triggers the memory of my mother's cruel words..... but ultimately there is a peace knowing that I create for me and me alone.

[@reemCGR]

wow! that was SOOOO Cruel of her to do! D= did your mother change her attitude towards your art or is she still the same?

[@grottoserpentina9342]

reemCGR l ran away from home when I was 16; no contact with my mother for 15 years. Long story. She has long since passed. The subject of my art never came up. I am self taught as an artist. It is my one sense of accomplishment. My manta is: there will always be lesser and greater artists than myself. It is the sheer joy of the creative expression (process) that I have learned to focus on. Ultimately my artwork is an honest conversation between my ego & my soul.

[@niceguytm3437]

condolences for having to withstand your mother's selfishness. I'm glad that despite everything you've gone through, you still find value in your work. Its great to know art is only 'good' subjectively, and you essentially create only to appeal your own vision. self worth for the winz!!

Wow. The honesty you shared in this story really touched me. I went through something over ten years ago that changed my life and during that transition someone whose opinion I put above all others told me the exact same thing: Don't go to art school, don't chase your dreams, you aren't good enough. Ultimately I completely stopped creating art shortly after.. Even though the circumstances in your story are very different, hearing how you felt was like hearing someone put the feelings i had and couldn't understand into words. It was completely cathartic. I watched this yesterday and again today, along with a bunch of your other story times and I've enjoyed every one of them. Last night I started my first art piece in ten years.

“Art is therapy” Oh my gosh yes. My first summer of middle school was one of the loneliest summers ever. I spent the first month in and out of camping trips and feeling segregated from the rest of the group. Finally when I came back, all my friends were off on their own thing as well. I spent most days just locked in my room browsing the internet and wonder why I was left behind. During that time, I found a tv show that I just absolutely loved and read comics online about it. Soon enough I decided to make my own and was able to transport myself into this other world through my characters. I felt like I finally had something of value to do. I could tell a story. My art really sucked back then but over the next few month it got better and I started talking to people about it, making friend at school and being more positive overall. Now I take a sketch book everywhere and doodle my thoughts down and show them to friends. I even started posting speed arts of my OCs that were my world during that lonely summer. Art IS therapy in one way or another.

[@1stdaughterofcain]

no art is ever ugly. we all have our own style and i think your artworks are amazing 💖

[@1stdaughterofcain]

@Jamie 2015 KZbin well to a certain person, since we have our own opinions.

[@Coeurlarme]

I think art can be "ugly", but it can be good while ugly. It depends on the intent you have for your art. If you want to express true horror then intentionally ugly art might is a good choice. Having that in mind, I'd say there are objectives flaws too: the ones that prevent you from reaching the goal you have for your art. For example, if you want an element of your drawing to really stand out, putting too many stuff distracting the viewer from what you want them to see right away is an objective flaw. But if you're doing an illustration for Waldo's book then the more distracting element you have, the better. It just depends on what you want to achieve.

These storytimes are getting so real. Like wow. I used to write. Short stories and poems and I was doing this spiritual counselling and it led me to give up writing and alone with it all my dreams and goals and who I felt I was. I basically destroyed myself in the process. I had no idea who I was or what I wanted to do for a good while after. At this time, I still used to draw and paint and wanted to get back into it and it saved me. Slowly, but surely I embraced the only part of me that had remained from who I used to be and held fast to it. Now, its became a huge part of who I am. I don't write anymore, or even read that much, but having my art is enough. I might get back into poetry one day, but right now my focus is my art. And its so interesting how you spoke about your art being incomplete. Its really interesting. As someone on anti-depressants, its actually the opposite for me. With my medication, I'm me, but without it I'm this awful person that I hate, who has no connection to anything. I've been to zombie-land far too often and this is the start of my second year, returning to the world of the living. Some days I still can't believe I've made a whole year. But I have and its incredible. And this went so off topic from what I originally wantedto comment, which is that your watercolour work is incredible and beautiful and you certainly have a mastery of the medium. Its inspiring.

I think I'm currently in that stage of "wtf am I doing?" XD I used to write a lot, and I used to draw, but that all went a couple years ago with my friend, who always constantly bragged of how good she was in writing, how good of an artist she was, how good of an actor she is. And the teachers only notice her, she's the loudest or searches for praise, so a lot of the times the teachers would comment on her work and how "good" it was, and look at mine before walking away without a word. It really discouraged me, especially because at the time, she really made it seem like art was something she wanted to pursue, or writing, and for me, art was never something that I've wanted to pursue as a career, I just liked it. And the funny part about it is she just never encouraged me. She was like my best friends for a while, but I had this other friend who absolutely loved art, and she encouraged him all the time, and I always felt so underappreciated, or like because I didn't want it for a career I wasn't putting enough time in to be good, or something. Along with that my writing faded too. I don't read anymore either, pretty similar to what you said. A little after all that I'd thought I wanted to be a teacher, but now, halfway through grad year, I don't freakin' know man. My mom wants me to go to uni but I don't want to spend money on something I don't LOVE right? Ughh, sometimes it's really hard, I drew a hand today, for my Psych course, and I was actually really proud of it, but it's sparked up all this confusion of being good enough at it or if I want to pursue it ugh. And that girl I mentioned, she's not even particularly into art anymore. She's always been more set on acting, and just you know, amazing at everything else too I guess. She'd brag about English and writing,y favorite subject, she brags about photography, which is also something that I actually really love and enjoy doing too, she brags about art, cooking, acting, makeup, hair.... Name anything and she'll brag. I dunno. It was hard to be her friend and watch her excel at everything I loved, be encouraged by teachers, while what I was proud of was ignored. Idk if that's like attention seeking or something, but I really struggled with it while being her friend. She's since dropped me and desperately grabbed at straws for new friends, and for a while I had no idea why as she never told me anything, just stopped hanging out with me, but I have a feeling now that it might be because me and my best friend from before her made up after this like multiple month long fight we had for no reason, and she's never particularly liked her. I'm ranting XDDD I just was maybe hoping to get some good advice. I have a counsellor and stuff but, you seem to have gone through a similar period of losing who you were and having no idea, and I'm there now XD Thanks for taking the time to read xD

[@bunnywxbbit]

@@Emu19 I advice you to try new things out and check out which things you really love the most.(Ex: Maybe you should try writing or drawing again, maybe in a journal/sketchbook once daily) If it seems to be working out for you then continue doing it. If you're not passionate about it or something you enjoy doing because you think you have to then maybe you can probably try other new things you think are interesting.

This ended up on my recommended list and I couldn't be happier. I struggle with self confidence and do not handle criticism well, because siblings and "friends" gave it to me the way your ex did. I stopped sharing my own works, but kept writing. So many years later, I still write a lot. I think its time I start sharing them again.

[@thetoebeanlord]

Man, I felt this deep in my soul. My parents tried so hard to stop drawing. They would always try to get me in another career choice. It broke me so hard I didn't want to live anymore. They wanted me to be their Soldier Boy doing whatever they asked and desired. I wanted to do something that made me happy! They couldn't see how art would get me anywhere in life. It was crushing, hearing from the people who were supposed to care and love you, throw you down everyday telling me that art would only leave me homeless and worthless, that it take years before any of it would affect me. It's been two years since then and I've managed to come back. I love come back stories like this, it's so inspirational!

[@gnarthdarkanen7464]

It depends on the market, availability, and how YOU balance between artistic freedoms and money benefits of product... or service. In my experience, there is NO profession or career that doesn't have some advantage for the artistic... Carpenters will deeply respect the guy who can sketch up the project for the team of "noob walk-ons" in a few minutes so EVERYONE can see and understand what their doing... or trying to accomplish... step by step. Electronics tech's will fall all over themselves to hire the one guy in the list who can scratch out the schematics and who knows the difference between block diagrams and tech-spec's in the field. Computer gurus want people who can diagram work flow sequences, create reasonable facsimiles of character design, spontaneously flesh out designs with poorly done illustrations and all those other "non-code" items that normal "geeks" just don't want to think about (or don't have time and patience for)... It saves the company TONS of money to have an "in-house go-to guru" for art stuff. AND you can market the benefits of motivational and instructional posters and signs ANYWHERE!!! The higher the attractive aesthetics, the more the personnel WILL look at it, and the better the poster will work. I often work in restoration, and a lot of the things I have to work on have NO "instructions" or "manuals" for them. I get to be the guy PAID to sketch and illustrate EVERYTHING for the house. That way, if they ever need to "fix" anything, there IS a document about it... Pick your poison, and art will consistently MAKE YOU the most hireable and desireable employee prospect in the pile of interviews for a boss. When I really WANT a job, all I usually have to say is "I can draw a little"... THAT ALONE leads to the questions about diagnostic charts, blue prints, lithography, caligraphic lettering, signage, paints and adhesives, handicraft... AND before I know it, I'm getting callbacks or hired on the spot. My glowingly sarcastic and self deprecating personality is just a bonus I guess. ;o)

First time watching this, and subscribed. This was so real, and I related to your story so much. I went to art school and my ex-boyfriend was clearly against my art as opposed to an "actual career" so he'd consistently tell me that he thought I did nothing with my life. It crushed me a lot but after we broke up I managed to get myself back up and I painted murals for a cafe in Sydney and I had articles printed in an indie magazine. Art saved me from my negative thoughts, and the troubles I felt from my ex, and everything that brought me down. Your art is incredible and I'm so glad I came across this video, it was just the motivation I needed. Have a great day!! x

[@birdiexoxo]

Thank you for talking about what happens when your brain chemistry changes or you stop art for a while. It’s a topic that needs to be discussed more often. When my health declined in 2015, I started taking a lot of medications and I went through quite a few until I finally found some that work for me. With my decline in health came tremors and brain fog and suddenly the art I was making was completely different and I had to learn a lot of the basics all over again. It was really hard and still continues to be, but art is my life and I wouldn’t trade it for anything. Thank you for continuing to make videos, they are always so inspiring!

[@thatleidy]

It’s funny how it’s the totally opposite for me. People think of me as an artist and not a singer/musician but I’m passionate about singing. No one takes me serious tho. I can’t see a life without music. I really needed to here this encouraging story. Thank you 💕

[@calonstanni]

I love this story and couldn't figure out why it touched me so deeply because I've never had BFs who dissed my art skills. THEN I remembered 4 years ago when my BF detested the time and effort I was putting into my community. I was sinking all of my artistic and social skills into trying to revive my dying, failing neighborhood. I was SOOOOOO passionate about it and had fought so many painful battles with cranky old politicians and hateful old racists and I was being battered CONSTANTLY for my efforts and he kept telling me that I deserved the abuse I was getting, and when he finally said "I hate to say it, but Bevo is NEVER gonna get better" I kinda died inside. However, a year later, I did finally kick him outta my house (and thus, I guess, out of the neighborhood he hated anyway) which ended our 18 year relationship. Best decision I've ever made and wish I had done it sooner. My neighborhood is BLOOMING btw. But anyway, this story reminds me of that time in my life and now I know why I kept watching this and feeling like I'd "been there" for some reason.

Watching you paint makes me really want to try watercolours. I've used acrylics but I've not really tried watercolour. Here's a funny thing about one of my ex's - I write stories as well as draw, and my characters have been with me since high school, when I was dating this boy. He wanted my attention all the time, to the point that he was actually jealous of my fictional characters, and one character in particular, who I think he saw as my imaginary boyfriend. And because he was jealous of them, he would do his best to stop me from writing, not just about them but anything. Luckily I got out of that one. He's long gone but my characters are still my best friends and still surviving! :D

In 2014, I was diagnosed in the hospital with bipolar disorder. Spring 2014 was the last time I remember making art. I recently picked up a pencil again - seriously - and began to draw. My art is so much better than it was in 2014. I wasn’t able to explain why or how, if I had taken a 5 year hiatus. But you gave me the words for it. One year ago, I finally got properly medicated and now I’m on almost a perfect dosage. Something was missing from me all those years I silently struggled with something in my brain and it was reflected in my art. I just want to say thank you for this video. Our stories are different but it felt so close to home I started crying. (I still am, ha.) I forgot how much I love to draw and paint and it’s helping me through a hard time now.

"And there will be times when you are overcome with self-loathing and you don't feel like you deserve to take care of yourself - but you do.

There are often times where I thought I couldn't continue, because I felt I was a failure and not good enough (especially with my art). Life is a journey, not everything will go as planned, sometimes you will fall. But as long you get up on your feet again and do your best you will improve, be stronger, be wiser day after day. Now I know it's okay to take a break, it's okay to feel doubt and it's okay to seek help. But giving up is not an option anymore. I still have a long way to go but I wish I could tell my past self that everything will be fine.

Hey I just found your videos on the side while I was looking for videos about "how to draw better". I've started making a slice of life webcomic, and the goal is to make myself practice, I post a comic every Monday and I'm holding myself to that to make me keep drawing. My goal is to get to a point where I feel that my art is "good enough" to do a kind of illustrated story of my life so far. Whenever I tell stories, give out snippets of my past, people always seem surprised and interested so I figure "write what you know". I was enjoying your water-colour and your banter, and asides, when you're story came to such a touching and moving conclusion that it made me tear up a bit. I think despite anything that someone may say that hurts you, you really are your own worst enemy. I have tried my best over the last few years to internalise something I read about body image. Which is, don't say anything about yourself, that you wouldn't say to your best friend. Your friend might be overweight, it might be unhealthy, but would you say "wow you are a disgusting tub"? No that would be being a terrible friend. You would say " hey hun, I'm a bit worried about your weight, I'm worried about how it affects your health and I want you to be happy and healthy because I love you so lets make a plan to improve this temporary situation". And if you're going to be so nice to your friend, shouldn't you be at least as nice to yourself? Shouldn't you always be your own best friend? It really helped me in regards to how I thought about my body, the tone and the kindness of those thoughts, but I never went any further with that concept. When you said that, right before death the last things we'll ever experience is our own thoughts, that really brought it home for me. I should be my best friend in all aspects of life. You made a mistake at work "hey it happens to everyone, you're tired, get some more sleep", I shouldn't have said that at the party, "well you can stew, or apologize or forget about it and I don't recommend stewing." I do not normally comment on KZbin, not a big viewer of KZbin in general actually, but since this video is SO new and I feel like it really helped me to an ephiany, I just wanted to say thanks, and let you know how much I appreciated it, and to tell you to keep being you.
