[@MrNiceGuy.]

An observation: it appears lots of Sam’s early drawings were mechanical but that also means he had subconsciously learned to draw shapes well in his childhood, since robots are largely made of cylinders and different rectangles therefore giving him a foundation for organic figures later. I’m sure this helped him in his development of framing out a subject and transposing it with digital paint. Not to mention the plethora of resources available in a digital medium. Impressive work at that age though! Inspires me to pick art back up.

[@abinnohr6497]

It's amazing how much of a difference supporting your child's creative dreams can make. I gave up for SO many years because schools hated that I'd "waste my time" writing or drawing instead of doing school work. I even had a math teacher rip up some of my writing in the middle of class and toss it in the bin. I wanted to get into animal sciences when I was in 3rd grade but I was told it's a hopeless, nonexistant direction and ultimately gave up on my love for research because I got restricted from reading science and especially from bringing those books out in class. I didn't start drawing until 7th grade but faced the same issues. Now I'm a depressed adult who gave up on dreams and am always struggling to be creative. So please, support your children's creative and ambitious endeavors as much as you can and don't let the schools bully them out of it.

At the beginning of the video, I was flabbergasted, at how skilled you were at 12. But then you said you were taking intense art lessons at a young age. And as someone who relied on mostly myself and my older siblings, felt good about myself. I personally drew more scenery and people than I did creatures or robots so seeing the amount of detail on those things was incredible! I started realism for a bit at around 11 and 12 but then I got more interest in music. I ended up coming back around to art and is still practicing and improving!

[@Aconitums_Poisoned_Art]

The technical skill you possessed at that young age baffles me- It’s not even because of the whole “young prodigy” thing, but having patience and understanding of things like line weight, blending, shading, perspective, etc.

[@FelonDog]

​ @kar1305 That's super f*cking insensitive and rude as hell to tell someone they are bad at drawing and basically calling them "lazy" (not putting in the work they need to) when you don't even know anything about them, and all because of how they feel or believe. If you don't agree with them then that's your opinion, but to tell them they think that way because they are bad at drawing and lazy? Despicable. Don't pretend you care about what other people are feeling when YOU are personally attacking and unmotivating someone else. There is a talent aspect to literally EVERYTHING humans do. It's why some people will never be on the same level as someone else. It's why a group of people taking the same exact art classes and doing the same amount of studying will always have those shining stars that seem so much more advanced than everyone else. It's why some people read faster than others. It's why some people draw faster than others. It's why some people have better memorization than others so they study less than others. It's why some people seem smarter than others. It's why some people have super creative ideas constantly and others can't think of a single one. Some people play video games all day long for years and that doesn't mean they will be able to beat someone else who hardly plays video games in a competitive game. Some of those people will actually be REALLY bad at the games, despite how long they have played them so "practice" doesn't even equal "better". People have different brains attuned to different things. To say everyone is on the same level of understanding and advances the same is simply untrue. People can put in just as much work as Sam and take the same exact art classes he has and still be worlds behind him. Learning things quickly and being good at it fast is the TALENT aspect. The wiring of your brain. Of course people can always work 200% harder or longer to get on the same level as someone else, but the fact they have to work that much harder and longer means they don't have as much natural talent for that thing as the people ahead of them that got there with less work. People will NEVER be on the same level as everyone else because we are not a hive mind with the same exact capabilities and understanding as everyone else. If you sit a 100 children down in an art classroom for the first time who have never drawn before and all give them the same lesson and hand them the same reference picture to draw from, you think every single one of those kids are going to churn out identical artworks of the same skill level? No. Some of them will end up drawing a picture that looks identical to the reference. Those few are naturally talented. And if they continue with the art and practicing, they will advance faster than all the others because from the get-go they are already really good at replicating what they see. Getting better than they currently are is obviously the skill part. But starting out that good and being able to draw what they see, identifying the shapes in a reference and recreating them is a talent. To say talent doesn't exist and people just aren't working as hard as other people is not only untrue but an insult to people that have worked their butt off and just aren't on the same level as other people who have had to put in LESS work.

the sigh of relief i let out when you said that you already had 7 years of art experiance from the age of 12 and have had a shit ton of lessons at that time... i was already feeling so insecure comparing me now (Im almost 20) to your 12 year old art. Ive only really started drawing since the age of 12 and even tough i went to art school for almost 2 years that was more woodworking then drawing. So yea this really shows, dont just blindly compare, mater of fact dont compare in general.

Sam, Sam, Sam. I know you are super talented, I love your art, love your videos. And now seeing the "little you".... omg. you were incredible even at 12 yrs old. I hope you are very , very proud of yourself. I know you joke about how bad this or that is, no , no , no. Please acknowledge how truly awesome this work is. How very special to see the sketch of your grandfather, loved that so much, and the watercolors, beautiful!! I leave your videos feeling so inspired and for that I thank you. Merry Christmas, Sam.

You probably not going to see this but I was just re-watching your videos and I live neer Toronto and when this came out I was to young to know but I have seen this ship and you painted that really good

(20:27) I agree, no one should be discouraged while comparing their drawings created at age X with another person at that same age I personally feel inspired by this video seeing your awesome sketchbooks, thank you for sharing your journey with us 🥰 I started trying to learn to draw around the age of 18, but I didn't feel up to it (my self-esteem wasn't the best at the time) But now I'm almost 24 and I've been working on to become a digital artist for more than one year(and I'm not going to stop now, not this time), putting in all the effort and passion I can. Maybe I'm a little late, but it's never too late to learn and follow our passion 😄

[@N3V3RJUGG]

yes

[@DumbTanuki]

I would love to see a video of you remaking/ re-attempting those old drawings to see how far you have gone. 😁

Sam is a true art god 🗿
