The Cure to being Overwhelmed with Learning Art

I spent 4 years at Art School. What I learnt there? Useful.
What I learnt for reading a book? Life changing.
What makes art school useful, aside from networking, is really just down to how you plan out your learning. In this video, we go over exactly how to do that, except tailored MORE to your needs!.
Useful Artists I'd learn from:

Pikat / @pikat
Marco Bucci / @marcobucci

HI One thing I need to add. Learning from people closer in skill to you can have more value than someone vastly ahead in skill. This is because they are closer to experiencing what they went through to get to where they are. The expert has already passed that and is working on something else.

I always found it helpful to set the goal for what I'm doing as time oriented, rather than product oriented. If instead of saying "I will finish the eyes today", the goal is "I will spend 1 hour drawing these eyes." Even if I finish the eyes to something I find happy, I will continue drawing something else with eyes so I will have always met my goal. It's always nice to leave of of a 100% completed goal with no product, then a 0.06% completed goal with no product.

That's a really good idea! I may try that myself, a good way of tracking time.

art school has buddies to get active feedback, while self taught has no one

[@Snowflakebunbun]

That doesn't mean you can't teach yourself, plenty of professional artists out there that are self taught

[@NexyiaArt]

Absolutely! When I was at Art School we had weekly Crit sessions as well as just generally always bouncing around helping each other. But, this doesn't mean you can't find feedback from others while being self taught! There are also ways to give yourself critique. Active feedback definitely exists! In areas where you can judge objective accuracy - like perspective or proportion, you can always find creative ways to critique yourself.

I have learnt the same way books and online tutorials. Though it’s difficult but rewarding!

Nice video but please remove the background music I cant understand anything you’re saying

[@NexyiaArt]

Thanks for letting me know! I'll be more aware of it in future. If there's anything you'd like me to go over, let me know!

TURN THE MUSIC DOWN!

Next time :)

Don't think you can call yourself self taught when you use youtube online materials. Just because you don't go to art school, doesn't mean you're self taught.

[@NexyiaArt]

Why do you think that?

[@Not_Even_Wrong]

You can use that definition of self taught, but it's your own. Autodidact is just the greek translation of self teaching, it does not mean "to use no outside resources to learn" it means to learn without the guidance of schoolmasters (i.e., teachers, professors, institutions).
