Do you ever worry that you’re not creating “real” art because you’re not rendering a ton? In this video I answer one of my student’s questions about feeling like a fraud because they feel that their art isn’t rendered enough to be considered “finished” art.
I help them figure out why they don’t need to worry about missing out on opportunities and how to start enjoying the work that they create.
Materials I use in this video: Cretacolor NERO extra hard - soft

This is so good, what a wonderful video ☺☺

[@CarolinPeters]

Love that you love it!

[@georgerabbitearl]

Thanks for the video, you hit the nail again. Please make more of such videos, e.g. which styles are possible, if you wan't have a typical finisched art work.E.g. I like gesture drawings, scribble art.

[@CarolinPeters]

Sounds like a plan. Just so I understand correctly, you’d like more how-to videos for drawing techniques that are not only value rendering but more linear and loose, right?! Have you seen my ink portraits in two ways video? You might enjoy that!

[@georgerabbitearl]

@@CarolinPeters Yes, thats correct. I subscribed to your channel because I like your explanation. The gesture drawing video helps me a lot, so I can draw now gesture and add form to it, but I asked me whats coming next? The drawings than looks to clean for me. I like more "unfinished" looking or minimalistic drawings also because they have some expression in it. But I will give the ink video also a try

I immediately thought of Picasso's wonderful line drawings, such as of Francois Gillot or his Dachsund. IMO, line drawing is HARDER than a highly rendered drawing. Line drawings are the essence of art....saying a lot with very little. To me, that's art.

[@CarolinPeters]

I totally agree. Simple isn't easy. In fact it's the hardest.

[@marqueewilson]

I don't know what you do or how you do it, but your videos (and e-mails) seem to always appear when I'm in much-needed motivation 🤗 I love that besides tutorials and drawing walkthroughs, you give wonderful inspirational talks and I am so thankful!

[@CarolinPeters]

So glad it's all helpful to you. that's always the goal.

[@Amanita._.Verosa._.]

When people tell me rendering maked good art I refernce Heinrich Kley.

[@CarolinPeters]

That's right. Can't argue against the maestro!!!

[@hate_everlasting]

wonderful video :) have been thinking about this recently too after realizing i dont give myself the same "leeway" i give other artists in many ways including this and i had never heard anyone else talk about it

[@CarolinPeters]

Glad to hear it was helpful for you to watch. Happy drawing to you!

This way to think, which you described first, is, just my guess, an result of modern art industry :/ We are overwhelmed by all those highly rendered and overly detailed pieces around the internet. So especially newcomers think it has to be this way, otherwhise its not real art. And mind my manors... i myself needed years to overcome this toxic way of thinking... thats bullsh...! Art is not about THAT. Its a way to interact with ourself kinda. To communicate our thoughts and feelings and so on. Of course today its easier than ever to make a living with art. But money should despite this goal, never be the first guess behind your art. Trust me. I have been trough this myself: it just kills passion and indivituallity of your work.

[@CarolinPeters]

100%! That’s exactly how I feel, too.
