YOUR SCULPTURE OF REM IS THE CUTEST I'VE EVER SEEN💕💕🌸🌸

I'd let 3D Rem hurt me Kappa

[@KRUGSTON]

As someone who can feel like plateauing in my creative endeavors, this is an incredible reminder to keep at productive habits - thank you.

[@lightskinssj9815]

I know this is kind of late but I’m going through it right now with drawing and I just starting to sculpt and it’s got it’s differences but thanks for the line of motivation I’ll keep at it and you do as well I’m sure you have grown a lot in 8 months and I want to congratulate you on it lol but thank you

[@AlexAugustinex]

I always watch an episode or two of the shows I like during lunch and you are right, most of the days I just end up binge-watching about 5 episodes. I have tried using a timer, creating a list etc.. but ended up ditching those habits..time to get back at it...Thanks for the Video man.

[@etienneduberger186]

Best advice in this video : having a regular sleeping schedule.

[@ventimybeloved]

Needed to hear this, thank you :( i keep breaking my habits when i try to sustain a schedule, it's so helpful to be specific with goals especially when you have focus problems

[@ainaopeyemi339]

I needed this video, I have added it to my watch later list, will watch it next week.

[@ClearComplexity]

I find myself focusing on things I naturally want to do that I can lose myself in. An example would be I can lose myself for days at a time focusing on machining/fabricating and then assembling custom parts to make watches. That mixed with wanting to sculpt kind of led me to using a more engineering style approach to creating jointed dolls focusing on the mechanisms and shapes trying to replicate life (I have a slight obsession with automatons and clockwork dolls...I've also been obsessed with Ghost in the Shell since the 95 film so it kind of adds up). With that I spent hundreds of hours learning how to hand make clothing, accessories, etc to create something I felt accomplished my goal. If it isn't one of my obsessions I just have to force myself to do it which is nigh impossible. Not impossible though, just a very very long process since I find it extremely hard to focus on other things.

[@Gatz3D]

Thank you for making this! Its helpful to see that even seasoned professionals must fight to maintain their craft at all times. Your analytical approach makes it easy to identify the problems an artist can experience. Can’t wait to hear more good advice on the next one! ;)

[@Idaero_Art]

AMAZING AS ALWAYS! The way you make it feels like it’s nothing o.o - Smooth non stop works like a pro

[@idraw2730]

Great content, you make everything seem so easy!!! Love that, I could say your videos are therapeutic!

[@Mopsspoof]

This sculpt of Rem is like Overwatch style

[@user-ex6pk6fh4p]

I'll try to follow your advices, will do my best! Good luck, thanks for the video!

[@westonbahr3037]

Thank you for this video. Its extremely relevant to my situation. Art has become painful due to some chronic conditions that I have, and this video gave me some ideas on how to push past them. Consistency and pacing are so important to habit forming. Thanks again

[@mathblodist]

That format of video is pretty good. The sculpt turns out fantastic and the advices are useful.

[@koketsok1513]

I love it when my fave artists gives advise,another piece of advise i would give is bite sized project learning,its when you take that grand idea you want to make,break it up and watch tutorials for each individual component while working on a mini project that isn't the main eg want to you make a giant robot,break it up,learn hardsuface modeling and make an arm,then when thats done,do another mini project and push it a step further eg make a hardsuface leg,then texture it.To me whats important in art is showing something in the end and i find with project based learning instead of having 1 big project you have multiple pieces to show and they help show your progress as an artist

[@noname-ip5er]

Bro you are so inspiring and helpful- By the way: I would love to see a step by step character progress video thing (lmao) again

[@nebulousphantom8545]

good tips overall! if you have adhd like me, though, you may find that you paradoxically need a little bit of distraction while you work to keep from getting so understimulated that you let yourself get completely off track. doing things like working on voice calls with my friends or listening to a podcast might keep me from having absolute undivided attention on my work, but it also keeps me from taking a break to look at social media or check my messages and completely derail from my task. that kind of total laser focus yan describes may not work for you, so you might need to find a compromise for yourself.

[@AkumaDayo]

I have ADHD as well, pretty severe too. I usually put on a playlist of music when I want to get some work done, like writing chapters for stories or creating sketches of new characters haha

[@space_ace456]

same here, I need background noise to keep my focus so I don't get constantly distracted by all of the things around me, so if I have a KZbin video playing in the background it's just there for the noise and stimuli so I can focus on my work. I think a lot of non-adhd people don't quite understand that and think I'm using KZbin to distract me from my work when I'm really using it to help me focus

[@Kaneisdawicked]

Your skills always amaze me, dude! Very well done

[@robin1307]

Thank you so much for these tips! I’m going to try them out!

[@haldyrs.telvanni4829]

Interesting topic. I find that almost all of the time what causes me to break habits is external events. For example, when family or friends out of state come over for a week or when there is a deadline crunch at work that makes you work major overtime hours for a week.

[@lunastrabjorn6610]

One of the most under appreciated channels on youtube

[@typistkid9012]

[@fantasy_lance1924]

Thank you very much for your precious advices. I think I will try again to make learning blender a habit.

[@Notthedanman]

Its wild how much re zero stuff keeps coming up in my recommended. Cant wait for season 2

[@Adriane_Deathscythe]

Rezero s2 is already ongoing actually

[@harukik2634]

That was the most perfect video i've ever seen.

[@Ca11m3Raven]

Last year I drew something every day. I knew that this would create a habit of drawing more often, but what I didn't know was that it would fuse the ins and outs of the program I use into my BONES. And that after 2019 was over, and I didn't have any restrictions, or even expectations in place, that I would get a years worth of pent up creativity bursting through me. 10/10 do reccomend.

[@Warbandit100]

hope this helps people, would love to see more 3D art than now, i thought i was being lazy some years ago, turns out i wasn't eating well and not nearly enough to stay active, began drinking and eating more, now i model and sculpt every single day, at least 3 hours per day, sometimes all day long when i have a free day. I completely agree with placing timers, for practice it is essential to differentiate what you're working on, obsessing on a single thing kills off your process, or rather, slows it down a lot.

[@shibuyajin_music]

I dont even sculpt anymore but still come back to this channel because of those narratives I started learning music production instead, and turns out those tips still apply the same good content :)

[@yansculpts]

Oh interesting, glad you still enjoy the content and good luck with the music!

[@mangotree1032]

I only have one thing to say, Your skill is amazing!

[@pluffy1931]

You ever know when you love something so much to the point where you just don’t know what to do? That’s me with your Rem model. I don’t know why but I feel like I could just stare at it all day. Yaaa it’s a bit weird, but keep up the great work!

[@StellaAIVtuber]

[@kramnedski1988]

in my case watching my favorite Show(KZbin videos) after the work completes is the best way to stick to the work Which will help me to make a new habit

Sweet sculpt!

[@deandreconners4415]

Wow outstanding work I am so inspire

[@xXDragonTribalXx]

on the topic of habit formation. I turned around my eating habits by being really extreme, no more eating out, taking food matters into my own hands, only getting the healthy choices, which at first was very challenging. I craved so hard for the bad stuff and eventually I slipped up and like YanSculpts said in the video, one slip up can cause a lot of trouble. So my Skillset wasn't really adapted to constrain myself for an extended period but I found, what is considered to be the hard part, the easiest. By repeating to get rid of my bad habit frequently, it eventually got my norm and I am now in a place, where I rarely eat out, not even wanting to. It was the starting over again, repeatedly, which helped me a great deal in forming this habit. The gist is that you should not be afraid of not nailing anything the first time around but to not start over again. You'd be surprised what your body really remembers in the long run.

Tbh I really needed this I have always been lazy and when I do attempt to make something pleple say I should do it more often and I want to so I can improve more I just have no idea how I can make myself efficiently productive so thanks for this video! I like to code and build models btw.

[@Rukuvi]

tbh i used to always stream my work no matter what personal project it was, the idea of people watching me or watching this in the future helped me not pause for watching the odd clip here n there or wanting to check if anyone was on to play games with

[@Mrpaul20]

yan you are amazing

[@Ikxi]

Gonna watch in a moment, after I went out with the dog. Yan you're a big inspiration for me and helped me find my goals for Blender and 3D in general. Thank you! Edit: The most important thing in the video and what you also very often talk about is habits. It is true what you said, habits in the first place are the things that makes me lazy. For example skipping a homework because it is "just" 5% of my final grade and it is very annoying to do. Or instead of getting right back to working on something I take my phone to the toilet and read for 30 minutes and more. There are even more harmful habits. I didn't like brushing my teeth for over 10 years and now I can't always get myself to do it and they are very yellow. One tooth of mine is basically just filling and it can't be changed. There are so many more I could talk about, but I think you get the gist. The difficulty now is, breaking the lazy habits to replace them with productive habits. You will ALWAYS feel like "Ahh come on I can just skip today" or "I'll just do it later, the story is too good right now to stop reading". We need to overcome this. The timer is a very very good idea, I always set 30 minute timers with 10 minute breaks because my ADD just always gets me after some time. And you also need to listen to the timer I think, because even if you're in a flow right now, after a short time you can get distracted again very easily, maybe you suddenly see a cool video on YT or someone messages you on discord. Keep that for the break. Thank you so much Yan. You're always very helpful and I can't thank you enough!

[@hannahsnow6225]

How do you do it😭😭 you are so good at what you doing! I love it🔥✨

[@ambicg9243]

Here's a great tip: keep a journal. Every day you wake up, start your entry. That's it. Been working out great for me so far. I'm using Visual Studio Code and one file that's just in markdown format. Inserting new entry is just pressing a key combination and it inserts timestamps.

[@onlyarturo]

Great advices! Am trying to change my life and have anew things to do then I find Blender and my pc support it , then I found this video, my kid and I wants to lear of you , especially how make a Rem , he likes the anime , there’s is one tutorial or something we can study ?

[@sugarcubeswirly]

Just looking at this in my recommended made me start drawing

[@arynchan]

We share the same bad habits and I find it so hard to break it, and recently I’ve watched re:zero and other animes when having meals that kept me procrastinating, this video came out at such a coincidental time😂 I tend to watch one episode after completing a portion of task on hand and I had to remind myself to get back on working once I’m done with my break, it’s also important to have good sleep and health to prevent tiredness as it tends to lead to procrastination🤧

How do you do the rigging so easily? I have a lot of hard time with that part after the sculpting/modelling. Do you have a tutorial specifically on rigging?

[@Darkrikou62]

I'm too curious about this, I tough it was impossible to rig a sculpted character. When I try I got a lot of errors and in the end it's not possible. I see in the videos that he don't use dyntopology, it may be because of that. If you don't use dyntopo and start with a lot of subdivision sheres may be the rigging will be ok. I'll try, i'll see!

[@pieterdebie4162]

Iirc, you need a good topology with quads for rigging & posing. Dyntopo doesn't care about that so you may be right about that. However, remeshing your sculpt afterwards may fix this

[@scottierankz7399]

[@rosarebada4777]

Yan, this is only the second video on your channel I have watched. I really liked How to Improve Your Art Practice, and would be interested in more on the subject. I think the subject of laziness needs to be distinguished from other causes of procrastination, and would hope you could elaborate on motivation, goal setting, and topics like organization of space and materials for beginners. While the content of your audio was thought provoking on laziness, I would have preferred some video that corresponded in content - rather than multi-tasking, which really distracted me. I'll look forward to your input on psychology and science with respect to artist's at work. You might even relate more on the emotional and spiritual basis of productive work. Best wishes.
