"NO MOTIVATION TO DRAW?" - 3 Reason Why I Struggled with Motivation

I’ve found that drawing is a lot like writing in when you get stumped for a bit, the best thing is to just draw something. Just get your hand moving and don’t worry about what comes out. Love your videos Kesh!

[@KeshArt]

Agree with that! I find a lot of Advice from writers very useful and constantly adopt that into my practice..

[@2DevilliveD]

Time to start drawing again after this motivational vid xD

[@shellydraws]

Your videos are enough for motivating me. If I watch a video of yours with a sketchbook in my hand, I am most likely to start sketching instantly. Thanks for making these amazing videos. This is really gonna be helpful when I face an art block or something like that. Thanks so much for doing what you do!

[@edamarii]

I've been burnt out for almost a year now. It's a struggle to draw because I don't feel like my heart is in the right place, motivation is hard to find nowadays. While I was searching for a video to help me because I decided I can't keep living like this, I came across your video. And Im glad I did. Because you're right. At some point I've begun putting pressure on myself and I cannot keep up with it, and I am that person who felt entitled to that motivation. You're video also helped me realize that i cannot be motivated all the time, and I have to accept that. There's so much that I learned through your video, and I'm so thankful for that! Hopefully I can get through this and feel happy when I make art. Thank you ^^ You have a new subscriber :"))

[@KeshArt]

You'll be good, very best to you!:)

[@smithz1lla580]

Hey man did you find your motivation to continue?

[@edamarii]

@@smithz1lla580 Hello! I did. It took a long time, and it was very frustrating but I'm slowly getting there. I've found my direction again. The way I see my art and the way my heart is when I'm creating now is different from when I originally made this comment. I feel lighter nowadays, and I think with time I'll once again be fully happy with my work. Thank you for asking :")

[@ShezART1]

I will definitely be motivated if I had your supplies and a proper studio setup.. its a Dream !!!

[@KeshArt]

Trust me, It does make the job easier at times but doesn't make much of a difference. I started out on a Single desk on my grandmas bedroom with ballpoint pens and Copy papers btw :)

[@shellydraws]

Well you have an amazing channel. I mean you both do. I love vids from both of you. Thank you so much because you contribute so much to our art community!

[@ichhabkeinenusername2133]

I'm having this problem constantly, for me it's more that I have no Idea what to draw and not being patient enough to acknowledge that I'm not as good as I want to be right now. However, this Video still helped a ton, thanks Kesh :D Edit: Spelling

[@naznaart]

When I struggle for ideas I go on a random art prompt generator and it sometimes helps

[@litobeatz639]

Draw random shit. Trust me it helps

[@sporky1207]

this solved my problem lately. I’ve been struggling to stay motivated and this helped me thank you

[@ericadrawings5095]

I don't know if it's motivation or true inspiration. Every time when I'm drawing i know what to draw. Maybe I sow something in the metro or at TV or I heard something or I sow a colour that I liked.. All of this are coming on my brain when I'm drawing... Simple ideas😊🎨❤️🙋💡

[@marvinatthepsychiatrist6827]

this video came out RIGHT as I began to feel unmotivated, thank you!

I was actually just thinking of what to draw, not feeling like drawing. And after this vid came out...i suddenly got the motivation to draw! I really have to thank u Kesh! Luv u and keep up the AWESOME work!

I've been in a slump for weeks, beating myself up for wasting time not drawing, but at the same time feeling anxiety about doing it when I sat down at my table. I just need to take a breath, relax, and just have fun with something instead pushing myself to do a piece just to post it on Instagram for likes. Wow. I think I just found out something about myself. Thanks Kesh! I'm 48 by the way. So yeah, your advice helps everyone!

I had those questions for so long and no answers, I thought I chose the wrong field and that maybe art and stories isn’t for me , that is why thankyou for answering all those questions. I saw a lot of motivational video but non talked about these questions . Thankyou very much now I don’t have any doubts.

[@mochima7208]

I really wasnt motivated at drawing now and i do suck at drawing now. All the energy left my body and i dont feel motivated to draw and be better by practicing. I only though of drawing as a hobby instead of a future job. Because... I know being a psychologist is best for me and my family. But i always wanted to be an artist but i have to be a psychologist for the sake of my future. The only thing i want to be is an artist but its just a hobby is what i thought. So i lost motivation until i watched this video. Thank you kesh. I'll keep doing what i love evwn though they may not be any use for the future or they may be useful for the future. At least I will have happiness sharing my art and drawing beautidul pieces of art.

Ive got some terrible depression and anxiety, but you talking about how it feels like entitlement that you NEED to be motivated before you can work really gave me some perspective and if I can do art now because of anything, its certainly going to be because of spite now! XD

kesh! thanks for this video!! i was after a week of 0 motivaton and you kinda clear it out to me

[@halbundhalb_]

thank you for the video! this really spoke to me! I realised myself some time ago that motivation isn’t a strong feeling that keeps you going every day but more like a reason (like you said) or discipline but when I take a break from drawing for too long I keep forgetting it really good video!

[@korosal7634]

Great video kesh, thank you.

[@Thegalaxies21]

I usually miss a few words when I listen to videos in english (since it isn't my first language) but in this video, thanks to your clear voice and controlled pace I was able to understand everything while I was drawing! You have made points about motivation that a lot of people never do, and the hardest part is to accept to have lower ideals to not "turn off" that flame of motivation. Great video!

[@maximellow5745]

I used to love art, it was my only talent. And then my disability got worse and now I am sometimes not able to draw at all. Or even pick up a pen. This severely crushed my will to push myself to do anything. I stopped drawing, I stopped playing the recorder and violin, I stopped doing sport. I now haven't drawn anything in 2 years and though I haven't gone worse, I haven't improved either. Most people my age are now way better than me and I blew my chance for an art career. I dread picking up a pen, my creativity has faded and I cant write stories or create characters anymore. I have to re-learn how to do art now, not the technical skills, but the mental skills it takes. This is a huge task, but I will be able to do it.

[@k-pop-corn3802]

what I have realised about motivation is that “motivation, what so ever doesn’t last long (whichever quant you want to choose- mins, days , months ... )... after sometime motivation doesn’t matter( unrealistic standard as Kesh said it) You need to get going ...and you will start doing things that you want to do irrespective of buzz and boom cycles. Hope I am making some sense here. Wrong Goals... yup I am stuck there in other constellation, not realising where’s the North Star..my sky’s foggy... BUT my mind says “YES YOU ARE TELESCOPE... everything is clear” Btw 0:13 LOVE THAT
