[@It_Them_Ace]

@@pibawww Dude, they're kids. Have you ever met a child? Most children want likes because they think it'll make them popular or validated. It's a normal thing kids do, it's like showing your art off to family so you can get praised for it. Most kids do that in some way. And kids don't understand how to be humble until they're taught, which doesn't mean you get the pass to harass and bully them. All that does is make the child more likely to give up on the craft instead of learning to improve. When you attack someone instead of talking with them in a calm discussion, you just end up propitiating this toxic environment where simple mistakes are met with more hostility than they deserve. Kids and beginners will grow out of the behavior with time and learning and they don't need that to be impeded by a fuck ton of randos hounding them because they had a little bit of an ego about their art.

13:46 you have no idea how like revolutionary the notion of "I had my fun and didnt want to add more details so I just posted it" was to me. Thanks for rewiring my brain, love your work June

[@jayofalltrades8383]

I gave up on having a style a while ago. Not because I don't want one but because I want each different project I work on to have its own distinct feel and aesthetic, and because I like changing my style from piece to piece. Lately I've been absorbing my friends' art styles since we all collaborate on ideas together for our show pilot

[@ishouldbedoingmyhomeworkno535]

I mean the ability to change style is rather helpful in the art industry if you are interested in it join it but even then having different style to different project is also helpful in establishing the feels and identity of the project you are going for

[@yorutsumetai]

Everyone has a style, even if it isn't consistent. Unless a person can completely change everything down to the basics, it's all just a variation of the same style. (Keep in mind this is a broad statement, I don't know what your work looks like so I can't say. But overall a style is just the way an artist approaches a piece and it doesn't often change as much as some people think.)

[@Itsanit_Isnt_It]

Im in the same boat, I mean, I still technically have a style (mostly because I still have a lot to learn about art before I can actually make distinct styles) but I want to have a different feel for each oc group I have, so I can distinguish between them by just looking at the style

[@FelisGalactus]

I feel like I do have a “style” but it’s mostly just stuff I gravitate towards out of habit and less of an active choice.

[@Jonathan_Collins]

Steps: 1. Understanding lines 2. Basic proportions 3. Lights and shadows 4. Anatomy 5. Realism 6. Experiments 7. Boom! You have a unique artistic style.

whenever june posts it gives me a giant boost of motivation to draw its great also personally, style wise, at the moment ive just.. stopped trying to be consistent from character to character. this character has anime eyes, this character has dot eyes - the variations made art alot more fun for me instead of just trying to stick to one concrete style. experimentation is important to grow in art, so it shouldnt be forgotten

Despite technically being an ad, I really adore all of the mihoyo sponsored videos they are such a treat every time without fail

[@smolsasa]

Your exploration of art styles in the past ? months? god what is time, has inspired me so heavily. I was stuck in "only realism is good" for so long without even realizing it, and when you started finding the style you currently have it blew my mind. Even though it maybe even shouldnt have?? If you get what I mean? I had seen art styles i guess similar to yours, non-realism and whatnot. Stylized to look interesting and cool instead of always realism-accurate. But when you found your style, it really just clicked in my head. I adore the way you draw, the designs you make, the stylized anatomy that looks so interesting and eye-catching, the colours and urhuhgurghr puts my mouth on your tablet. And you walking us through your process of art is so helpful to me. I have old empty sketchbooks that i only bought to be a "real artist" but I never drew anything in them i liked. Cause i didnt use them for practice, i had the thought of "everything needs to look good in this sketchbook, so i can be proud of it". Which was. so bad. sososo bad. Seeing the way you practice, its almost like..... "yeah, you can practice art. without jumping from finished to finished piece. you can sketch, do style studies, like actually learn...." LIKE IT FEELS LIKE THIS SHOULDNT HAD BEEN A REALIZATION AT ALL. BUT HERE I AM, PLAnning on buying a new sketchbook soon, and trying to use it to improve this time. I wanna do the studies you show, like the way you drew like 30 lil bears and enjoyed it so. Hearing you talk about how much you enjoyed studying art....it kinda made me realize that man, I dont like drawing. I want to like drawing again.

[@moffjustchillin]

[@lil_bitofmac]

I know I’m saying this as a complete stranger on the internet, but I’m genuinely so proud and so so happy that you’re enjoying making art again!! Over the last couple of years, it always sounded like your expectations set on yourself were always just out of reach when it came to your art. I’ve always loved hearing and seeing your progress, but the genuine stress you’d express about pieces not turning out right and how much work and time and energy you’d put into projects to make them reach those high expectations-bestie, I was worried for you and the burnout that comes with that mindset! But the absolute relief I felt hearing and seeing you have fun with art, and-most importantly of all-believing in yourself and your abilities and your process??? I’m so proud of you, June. As long as you’re enjoying what you’re making, I can guarantee you we’ll all be here to support you!

Cant thank you enough for the advice and all the effort you do for us. Ive been in a slump for about 2/3 years now to where i cant get myself to draw unless im told to draw a specific thing.

your process inspires me so much june!! it makes me feel unafraid to misunderstand things and motivated to try my best and keep learning even if it means taking breaks on a piece to really study what im struggling with. a lot of my art stress comes from feeling like i have to throw myself at a piece until its absolutely finished, but seeing someone as talented and accomplished as you acknowledge that even you struggle and study things mid-project makes me feel so happy and confident. thank you!!

[@caseyclark5174]

Your personality is so adorable and your positivity is so infectious!! Everyone could gain a lot from having an art friend like you. Especially above anything though man the way you study is just mind blowing to me, I feel like it really reshaped my whole perspective like I can't even imagine being like "man I'm having some slight problems drawing this hoodie" and then go do seven pages of dozens of drawings studying every intricacy of how hoodies work just to go back to my first drawing to be like "ah, see there it is." Like man it really puts into perspective why how people become SO skilled. I feel like I am the type to just draw maybe one thing every 2... or maybe lately every... 4-5 weeks annnnd each one I do still do ambitious things to push myself but like that's my one drawing of the month so I just kinda bash my head into the wall with trial and error over and over and hundreds and thousands of erasures and retries until it finally comes together into something I like. I really relate to when you were talking about how all the fun got sucked out of art by trying to appeal to every negative feedback you've ever gotten and follow the "rules" I feel like that's where I've been the last few years college especially really killed any sort of artistic passion I had, I went from drawing every day my entire life for fun to forcing myself to mayyyybe do it once a month if I'm lucky. This has really inspired me though! I can tell how much you love drawing and it shows so much in how much effort and joy you put in! I hope to be the same someday too now ☺ Lets see if I stick to it lol Side note, is there anywhere to like watch you do studies live? I feel like it'd be a really fun way to try drawing all kinds of things that I'd never do on my own. Plus you'd be an amazing teacher with your positivity ^^ I'm sure tons of other people would love to see that kind of stuff from you too if you don't somewhere already (I'm new)

Yknow it's funny, I've been following June since their realistic art style days. And back the I wanted a semi realistic hyper detailed style like them. As I grew older I started to appreciated art with more shape language, things like their current style and abdillustrates. I enjoy art that's more expressive instead of accurate now, and I want to enjoy art, even if I have to put off studying anatomy for it sometimes.

I have that feeling too! I worked so hard to learn art, more so with a learning disability that makes it even harder to learn! But, to put it in words you said, by allowing myself to stop trying to fit the circle into the circle hole, that I just just do what I want how I want and dip right into that square hole! Nothing in art is ever perfect, that be hands, eyes, hair, ect...everything has it's own characteristics that suit only that character and we shouldn't make people feel bad if it "doesn't fit the norm"! We should embrace it for it's uniqueness! Art is a beautiful thing that even the artist themselves are unique and so should the art be :)

I just wanna say you talking about how sometimes you just leave things unfinished, making poses that make no sense because it looks cool, and just overall doing ur own thing and just chillin has made me see the joy in art again. Not everything has to be perfect, sometimes it looks better when it isn’t “prefect”. Just leaving rough drafts/ joy sketches looking a little wonky proportions wise because you know you now how to fix them is such a good way of letting yourself quote on quote breath in your art. It feels nice to sit down, do a sketch and tell myself that it doesn’t have to look good. Thank you!❤ you made me realize again that art is supposed to be fun

I love the way you do concept art! It would be really fun to see a video sometime focused on making fun and engaging concept art. Everytime I try to draw my characters concept art or just see concept art it's usually turn arounds and like some separate art pieces here and there on the page to give an impression of what the characters are like but when binging your videos I notice your concept art feels more like a whole cohesive dynamic art piece. Like it all comes together instead of like just existing next to each other on a page.

Oh yes! I'm practicing doing different styles and I'm super glad I saw your video popped up. Thank you so much 🌸 Definitely I just enjoy seeing different shows/movies/books/game character designs and I always wanted to learn how to draw the style. I usually pay attention towards their personality too, and outfits on what they are wearing. I will definitely keep rewatching this video about Stylizing. 🌸✨🌸

[@drawingfandome]

As someone who’s prone to perfectionism tendencies made worse by the fact the art world is so critical and cutthroat of every little mistake people who are trying to make it as artists make (likely and sadly in order to validate themselves bc everyone and their uncle wants to be an artist rn and we can’t all be successful or so people think, that and we are creatures of habit so we view what is successful in the art world as the only valid standard to live up to) THANK YOU SO SO SO SO SO SOOOOOO MUCH! For making this video and being honest with the fact you value what is fun and what looks good at times over perfection and “correctness.” IMO you do it right! You don’t overvalue not making things look good or following art rules to the point you throw them out a window, as you do a lot of helpful studies and try to improve, but you also don’t stress when your end result values having fun and aesthetics over looking like a masterpiece! It’s something more people should get in the mindset of doing as it’s healthier and a way to avoid both burnout and becoming a perfectionist who freezes up and never starts for fear it won’t live up to every standard under the sun when those standards ultimately will not only destroy the reason you got into art but make your piece less fun, which sucks the creativity right out, and others will tell. People don’t want perfect they want effort and uniqueness. Which is something I’m still learning to remember within my own work. Finished and enjoying the process is better than perfect everyone trust me. P.S this said still do studies and learn the rules but treat studying as improving and learning not as perfection either.

I’ve been watching your videos for years and Id like to say that you have definitely helped me grow my own style.

You really inspired me to follow through with it and watching this video has definitely made me want to push my own stylization farther!

[@SHAKEEYE]

You’ve been an absolute help with helping me figure out how to draw for myself and find it enjoyable again, so I love your videos and art. Keep going!! ❤

Currently watching this walking the track, absolutely painful in the scorching heat but June’s voice is very comforting 🎉

[@eightyonelungsv.4994]

your enthusiasm for art and creating is contagious!!!! it's so vibrant!!!! you can really see your love for conveying characterization through artistic elements in Every piece you drew. it's so cool :)

[@crisnotaurus4737]

whenever I see your art it just keeps getting INSANLELY BETTER! I don't know how to describe how amazing your art is. Its so so so inspirational and I know you defiantly hear that a lot but I seriously never thought any artist could be this skilled, thank you for being a huge inspiration to me

[@justinsmith5870]

Love that you're both finding what makes you love art again and sharing what's working.

[@zelda574]

I’m definitely struggling with my art style right now , I used to never like to draw semi-realism but now I’m enjoying it more than my usually style it’s so strange 🤣🤣

[@Nyaalexi]

I don't believe my style is perfect, but it's incredibly unique. Yeah I initially took a lot of inspiration from Sonic... but I believe it's taken on a life of its own. You can see the similarities for sure, but it has really become its own thing. I really like my style. And I've gotten way better with poses and stuff. I usually just draw the same characters (One of which is basically just me as a cartoon), but I am very satisfied with my art. I don't do lines before drawing the head and stuff, I just go with the flow, I guess. I also do all my sketches on physical paper then import into digital by taking a pic with my phone. I can't do digital sketches, like, at all. I could probably use a tablet, but I've just never bought one. But yeah, drawing is very fun. I won't be stopping any time soon. I'm way more happy with my art than I ever have been.

[@jeanchair5287]

seeing you rediscover the joy of art inspires me so much! you have so much fun while also being analytical and accurate. i'm definitely going to try and incorporate this approach to my art, especially since i'm in art school :]

[@mwahh.s]

i found one of your shorts and instantly fell in love. definitely going to continue watching ! i love the advice you give, and its so cool how you’ve found your style for the most part and can really find so much joy in your pieces, not caring for the typical rules of art unless it makes you happy to use them. its so inspiring to hear how much you really do enjoy art and the process of it, i thank you a ton for sharing your experience and pieces with the world!

when it comes to my own art I make sure it's happy however I strongly believe that art shows how you are feeling through emotions. If you're happy the art comes out showing it, if you're pissed and not in the a good mood the art will come out looking shitty. Back in January I was dealing with a burnout from everything that just piled on to my shoulders before I had to walk away, go to my room just to have a moment to myself. I took my anger out through words and stabbing my dairy with the pen that I used, first time that ever happened. Before I went back to the kitchen to try and finish doing the dishes but my aunt was already finishing them up for me. My mom pulled me into a hug and just told me to go lay down in my bed. I did and that's what I did for a bit until an idea popped into my head to draw my main oc Fantasy Heart screaming and crying. I tried to push the idea away and lock it behind a door, I wasn't in the mind site to draw let alone one of my favorite ocs that I own having an emotional break down. I did end up getting out of bed, booting up my computer, opening Krita, turning on some music and going at the sketch of my pony oc. I worked on that drawing for 8 days despite feeling better after what happened. the finished drawing turned out in a way that the level that only happens when I'm really bored or really into the drawing. It went from "Why the fucking hell do I not fucking hate it?! It was meant to turn out shitty!" to an idea that made it funny, I signed the finished piece with an art tool that made it look like it was signed in crayon. The finished piece was of Fantasy Heart screaming and crying in the hallway of her mansion, her pitbull Killer looking in from another hallway looking worried while a box of forgotten crayons lead abandoned nearby with Fantasy Heart drawn on the wall in a pink crayon. I did share with the finished piece with friends within the MLP Discord that I'm apart of. I've even shown the finished piece to family and they're surprised how well it turned out. Am I proud of the drawing? Yes and no, that piece was meant to turn out shitty cause of the reason behind why I drew it, no because it shows another side of me that my friends don't see.

Nothing makes you feel greater as an artist than to be reinvigorated by a drawing that reminds you WHY you love to draw

[@ShelbyLikesStuff]

You make me wanna work on my art style, so I’ll do that tomorrow or later!

[@quietlywhispering]

I love how all your videos really sound like youre speaking from the heart. everything you say is spoken with such genuine feeling and raw truthful emotion that i just cant help but really listen and absorb what you say.

[@nebulaoz]

DUDE. the way you make such a simple video idea and executing it so wonderfully and i love how well you can tie in real life things to how you simply draw. lots of love, neb 😋

[@spacekid2608]

you've been a huge inspiration for me since like, 2014. even though i decided that theatre was my dream career rather than illustration, i still do it as a hobby and i always want to thank you for how much you've helped my journey with art. thank you for teaching me and inspiring me

[@spookionions]

June June June!!!! Thank you so so so much for posting this! I've been going on a similar journey with my art, but recently started doubting myself with how many mistakes I seemed to be making instead of improvements. But seeing an artist who I really admire and inspire me affire that letting go and trying to have fun over trying to draw "good" is so affirming! Thank you so much❤❤❤

[@RatifiedWeirdo]
