The Art Of Making Your Own Motivation

I'm here to share all my sneaky little secrets of how I motivate myself everyday. Not a chance someone else has figured this out. Also stick around to hear a nice lil message from me at the end of the video woooo!

[@rebeccathomas1916]

We laughed a lot, but we don't really have any suggestions. We are so happy that the comment section is so positive and encouraging. Keep it up.

[@vetapotata2029]

LIVE STREAM, YES! LOL even if it is just an hour of you completely struggling, I think it would be fun to just feel like we're hanging out with you :3

[@jakeonart]

It would be so much fun - maybe once i've got a few more videos out and some sort of social media or discord community going i'd give it a shot

[@aaronsanders8773]

Motivation is hard sometimes, that's where self discipline comes in. Sometimes you just gotta knuckle down and put the work in so that when true inspiration does hit you have the experience to create something wonderful! As always good video and congrats on 4K subs! also...a whole chicken would be delicious.

[@jakeonart]

100% the discipline makes such a big difference. Ok I might be able to make you a chicken (just don't tell anyone else)

[@maryanzoart2755]

Don’t ever feel bad if you can’t post or draw as much as you’d like because of life getting in the way. Crud happens mate. Just do what you can with where you’re at in life. Love your channel and love following your art journey dude! The little community you built here on KZbin will always be here for you no matter what :)

[@jakeonart]

Thank you so much 🥹

[@Couldbebobo]

This was a nice little video, Don't ever force yourself to post a video if you're not feeling it. We are all happy to wait as long as we have to. Also, I think it would be fun if you try out some other mediums like painting or digital art. Congrats on 4k as well.

[@jakeonart]

Thank you I appreciate it! It would be so fun doing a painting video actually haha

[@angel2139]

That's great advice, i would just imagine where i would be after all my hard work, it gets me pumped to reach that point.

[@jakeonart]

Lets freakin go!!!!

[@thelegendofavatar]

You are an amazing storyteller!!!!!

[@PiccoAlex]

Just went undercover for growing that mustache :D just kidding. Keep it up in Your own pase! Your videos are fun and inspiring to watch. Thanks !

[@jakeonart]

Thank you!! Yeah I just wanted to have a good mustache for you guys

[@SpiffyGiraffeCreations]

Thank you for having this channel. I have been struggling with motivation with learning to draw better. I get frustrated pretty easily when I try to draw but it doesnt come out the way I see it in my mind.

[@acidity8912]

Suggestion. Do an artist study with a different art style then your usual go tos. Maybe Calvin and Hobbs by Bill Watterson just because I'm bias. dont do one you hate just not use too.

[@jakeonart]

I LOVE CALVIN AND HOBBES

[@jakeonart]

This is actually an excellent idea

[@ankurnarayan]

I used this today. It works!

[@jakeonart]

Hell yeah that's great!

[@etziohabit]

Oh and as for a video idea... Have you ever tried a DTIYS challenge? you take a drawing someone else has done and draw it in your own style! Pretty fun

[@jakeonart]

Oh interesting I'll definitely look into that

[@wafferu2074]

Finding motivation is probably one of the hardest things when it comes to, well, most things, but especially Art. Technical skill can be learned over time and there are clear methods to do so, but motivation, not so much (unfortunately). Even so we must push on to create what we love! Also looking forward to the (hopefully) future discord server :D

[@Orbinie]

I would like to see more videos on how you learn to draw. I myself started with drawing a month ago and its so nice to see the progress of another person and they accomplishments and struggles on the way

[@Tekkenandgaming]

Do some live streams. love the videos man, keep up the great work!

[@jakeonart]

Thank you I appreciate it! And yes I really want to try out some live streaming

[@tatemoorhouse]

Your videos are funny asl! It would definitely be interesting to see some script ideas

[@jakeonart]

Thank you!! Working on some scripts right now (and documenting the process)!

[@philippe3487]

[@rykaito7139]

A livestream would be pretty cool and I would love to see your process in real time

[@jakeonart]

I'd love to try it out I think it would be a great time

[@me_malene]

all very good points

[@jakeonart]

Oh man I need to get me one of those sketchbooks then

[@me_malene]

@@jakeonart I just get real cheap ones from "flying tiger" in A5 size spiral-bound :D if you get a too expencive type, then you might risk feeling like you are "wasting" the papir xD that's how I feel atleast if its cheap, then I can cut, paint, and glue without feeling I somehow ruined it

[@jakeonart]

@@me_malene Ok awesome I'll probably get that sketchbook and great point about the expensive sketchbooks, unless I got stupid money, I'm not balling out on it

[@me_malene]

@@jakeonart glad I could help :D

[@gasmask2373]

Hey man I have been trying to learn how to draw for the past couple years and every time I start getting better something comes up and I forget about it then I have to start all over again but I started up again before you posted your first video by a couple of weeks then when I was about to forget about it I came across your video and btw I found your channel like a month ago anyway knowing that someone is going through the same thing as me and didn’t give up inspired me to keep going and I am proud to say I finished my first sketchbook and I already drew a couple of drawings in my new one btw I would usually just draw on my note book but again you inspired me to buy actual art supplies and stuff like that anyway this is my long way of saying thanks

[@jakeonart]

LETS GO!! Finishing that first sketchbook feels so good. I'm glad to hear you're keeping up with it that's awesome! But ya know what feels better than finishing one sketchbook...finishing two sketchbooks.

[@kombokenji]

Here’s a suggestion! Post some vlogs or some unedited content. I personally like listening to your ideas and just you talking about art in general. So even the idea of unedited content of anything art related sounds great!

[@jakeonart]

Great idea! Maybe I could think of a few topics to talk about while I draw or something!

[@Ratboycure]

Wod love to see you do some work with colour theory and composition. Nice one fellah really good!

[@boijunior123]

love the mustache 👌

[@jakeonart]

wow thank you

[@dewormerreal]

another banger as usual

[@jakeonart]

[@BoxoBrando]

I think a Discord would be great for everyone, have separate channels for creative writing, drawing, character design ect. you could set a monthly, weekly, or daily type Prompt/theme that you could use in your own adventures. after all. "good artist borrow, Great artist Steal." just some food for thought :) appreciate your videos. keep it up!

[@jakeonart]

These are great ideas thank you - I'll definitely keep this in mind as this comes together!!

[@rens8664]

Great video man, keep it up!

[@jakeonart]

thank you brother

[@pissbabymkultra]

do you have any courses/playlists that you found helpful in learning to draw that you would recommend? (btw god damn you improve fast as fuck, good job!)

[@felix_xb]

I just make some origami. Gets the art blood pumping.

[@jakeonart]

That is so freakin cool

[@bok795]

i just watched all of your videos and as someone who just started drawing i love your channel and everything about, from the rocky and atlanta posters in the back to relating to your frustration is just so comfortable in an art channel. thank you for your hard work and just know you’re helping other people regardless of if you’re posting or not 🫶🏻

[@jakeonart]

hell yeah love that you picked out those posters! thank you so much!!

[@TojiDaCat]

Make your own Manga series and show us the process of u creating the story and characters and how u made your first Manga. In my opinion that would be sooooo fire 🔥

[@jakeonart]

That would be so sick holy moly

I would love to do that

[@milesdevine1161]

Collab with other small art creators if thats possible for u. Then make us some chicken.

[@jakeonart]

That would be really cool - maybe they could help me with the chicken

[@elindis]

Hm. In my self-talk, trying to get motivated by watching inspirational material is "procrastination". Maybe I'm being too hard on myself, though. I often feel like other people are machines, that they rarely slow down, that they don't have trouble to get going, and that it's a personal failing if I struggle with that. The culture of the 2020's is getting kind of weird, isn't it?

[@jakeonart]

Being someone who rarely slows down takes a lot of practice. You have to work hard at working hard. So this means constantly finding ways to get motivate yourself and reframing your brain to not think of doing art (or whatever else you wanna do) as work and more so just something you'd rather be doing than anything else.

[@elindis]

@@jakeonart I'll take that to heart.

[@nasettrinidad9871]

How would vegan chicken look like? 🤔

[@jakeonart]

honestly, still gotta figure that out
