"Your Art is Not Improving!" | drawing whatever the heck i want because i'm tired 😔

[@Zuza.t]

I think that there could be 2 reasons why some people think your "art isn't improving" when it is. The first is that they watch you regularly. It's hard to notice improvement when you're looking at the art every week. Second, your art style hasn't changed too much in my opinion and when you don't really change art style it can be hard to see improvement too. Pretty much what I'm saying is don't feel discouraged! Your art is beautiful and you should always improve at your own pace. Of course that's easier said than done but just know that just because sometimes it's hard to see improvement it doesn't mean it's not there! Have a nice day ^^

[@weird_mango42]

THIS IS SO TRUEEE

[@theirlmess]

I agree with the first one! Tho, whenever I look at rebeks art (like in “my next door-neighbours” for example, ) I always do see a difference! Her art/art-style will always be beautiful

[@Zuza.t]

@@theirlmess Yes her art style has definitely evolved. And I agree that her art style has always been beautiful and will continue to be and there is a difference between them. In my opinion though, you can still tell that the same person drew both the first chapter of My Next Door Neighbours and the most recent chapter. That's kind of what I was trying to say. Have a nice day ^^

[@theirlmess]

@@Zuza.t I agree! That’s kinda what I was tryna get across but I didn’t know how to word it. :) You have a nice rest of your day too!

Thank you giving reasons that don’t sound to rude or harsh and just giving advice of what they mean by “your not improving” but not sounding rude at the same time!

[@nano7053]

As said boyfriend. I'd like to say, that I also read a lot of your comments. It's really awesome how supportive you all are, and I'm glad to see Beka has such an amazing community here on KZbin 😁.

[@_skyean]

I think a lot of artists forget that being stagnant in art isn't a bad thing. If anyhting, it means that your consistent in your work! You're still improving in small ways; getting more confident, more faster, better color choices etc :D It deffinetly can feel like being stagnant is a bad thing, since everyone else seems to be making so many big improvements and you're just sitting here, no real big changes. But in reality it's not, I promise.

[@Love2DrawManga]

Thank for watching and for all of the support you give! It means a ton to me!! 💖 Oh also!! I forgot to mention I posted a new chapter of my webcomic today! You can watch it here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gZbKZ42NdreLp5o

[@Rinspiritart]

Rebekah!! I can say with full confidence that I can see improvement in your art 1000% I think people are strangely fixated on other people having drastic improvement whenever it comes to art and at a rapid pace! I also think when artists become a bit more comfortable with their art process or settle in a "style" the improvement no longer becomes drastic or punchy but rather subtle and slow(which is okay and very normal!!). And there is nothing wrong with that!. Also being stagnant with art or having a lull in your art journey is not something people should equate being a bad thing! Improvements can be small or big, done fast or slow! So I do understand the pressure or why the comments can get to you! But I do hope that you continue to draw because you enjoy what you are making!! Im sure that a lot of us (including myself) find your art beautiful and inspiring! But if you do need to step back and take a break either to get into a better headspace or to rest physically, we will wait for you no matter how long it takes! 😊💕🍀 Also all the drawings in today's video were so lovely to see! I love how you included some traditional art as well! I always love seeing both🍀

[@AverageJoelEnjoyer]

On the topic of improvement, your art HAS had a clear line of progression. Your art has gotten visibly more expressive over these past few months, and your digital painting has become more experimental (in a good way). Your art doesn't need a massive style shift to show improvement. You're doing fine. Keep it up :)

Babes, don't feel like you owe ANYONE an explanation! It's YOUR art! And it's gorgeous. You don't have to constantly change your style, it's okay to just be happy with it if you like it how it is. And if you want to improve/change it, that's YOUR decision to make! Your viewers are ofc gonna comment on your art, but they dont get to decide how your art looks. Your real fans are here for you and enjoy your arts in whatever form they take

[@der23]

Lol after you get to a certain level of comfort with your art style, it's not that you don't improve as much it's that the improvements will likely be more difficult to visibility see. When you're starting off the improvements are huge things that even if you eyes aren't trained yet, you'll notice them. Once you start getting better it'll be more finer details that start to change. Those are often harder to notice

[@gracepluskitty3580]

I'm really shocked that people said that, I actually took a break from watching your videos and then came back, and right away I was amazed at the improvements you had made! Your anatomy has been one of the things that has had huge growth. I would say when it came to my own art growth, studying other artists styles is what helped me improve most. It was fun, helped me see outside the box, and improved my art overall. Doing a study of other artists style would also probably be a really great video! Thank you so much for being an inspiration in my art journey

[@Love2DrawManga]

Wow thank you!! I'm happy my work has been an inspiration!

[@j.6267]

[@FLOORFOODATTHREEAM]

The people who “ don’t think your art is changing “ should just read The Next Door Neighbor’s- Like dude you’ve gotten so much better! I can see the improvements! We love you! Also your art doesn’t need to change styles- it’s so dang pretty ❤

[@CertifiedCrow19]

Honestly I hate when people have this mindset. Your art is your art, no one gets to just suddenly decide "You should improve and be better". You improve on your own time and its okay if you don't improve. The important part of art isn't being the best. Its having fun and creating something beautiful that makes you happy. YOU. Not anyone else. I love your art and its style, and the question of improvement never crossed my mind. Love your art for what it is because you're the only one who can decide its value.

[@chaa0s955]

Don't let bad vibes affect you : art is for you and you only to enjoy in the first place, it's supposed to bring you comfort and happiness ! If you feel like changing, do it, and if you feel like sticking to what you're doing, do it !

[@stenchella]

Art starts as a hobby and should always be a hobby. If you feel like making it a job, it shouldn’t be the center of your life, it should be a way to stress out

[@twinmonster1989]

A little late, but Rebekah, I want you to know you have inspired and influenced my art journey. I never found anyone I enjoyed watching more than you. With that said, I hope you remember why you're an artist: it's because you love art. You don't HAVE to improve. Improvement is not a necessity for something you simply love and enjoy to do. I mean, isn't that why you've stepped back a bit from art? To see it less as a burden/job and/ but more of a hobby. Don't listen to what anyone else says about specifics in art. Heck, even I'm not good but isn't that the point? That you love it so much the mistakes you make become lessons instead of faults. There’s nothing wrong with wanting to improve in your endeavour, but there's also nothing wrong with just turning your brain off and enjoying your passion, right?

[@Mithical_C]

I really DO think you have been improving the past years! When I was looking for screenshots from your comic (for a vid of mine-) I realised that your style has changed lots! :D I am inlove with your style and you have been inspiring me ever since I found your channel!

I was more like… oh. I am indeed one of the people who have said her art has not improved and I do stand by that. She has improved coloring, not her general style. Anyways, I’m always respectful with these sorts of comments but, Y’know. You cant stop people from internalizing things. I’ve been following Rebecca for 6 years and to have stopped watching around the 4 year mark and come back 2 years later to the exact same drawings… it feels wrong. I used to watch Rebecca every day as an art newbie and to have surpassed even her is unnerving. I know every artist goes at their own pace and you can’t exactly rush it, but I’d expect change. It feels like she’s eternally trapped in safe-face syndrome no matter how fancy she makes the light

Thanks so much for being willing to share your art with us and let us enjoy it with you! ❤

[@wa_akii6873]

I think why ppl thought you “arent improving” is because your artstyle hasn’t really changed, but I think it’s really visible that your art is improving, I’ve been watching you for over a year now and your improvement is really noticeable when I look back on old videos you made compared to newer ones, and especially after seeing the new ep for the webtoon :D don’t let the bad comments get to you Rebekah we love you

GIRL a few months ago I was watching and I was like "wow she's SOO good!" and today, I think about that time and I wonder how my old self would react to your art nowadays. it has gotten SOOO detailed and the way you render is beautiful. sometimes I feel like my art has reached its max capacity, but I keep drawing and drawing and drawing. and I might draw for months. and I take my art from months ago compared to my art now, and turns out it looks so much better today! so even if you feel like your art is at max capacity, don't. keep drawing for *ONLY YOURSELF.* if art makes you happy, and you like illustrating how you do, then just keep drawing *that* way.

[@lylapinkwolf8131]

As someone who has been watching your channel for years, I believe your art style as improves significantly! It’s gotten much more proportionate and almost more realistic or more of mature in my opinion. I know it’s hard to not let comments get too you, but honestly if they say things like that than they obviously like your art enough to look at it for that long! If you need to see the improvement for yourself I think redrawing old art would really help you, just to show you the good things that stayed and the even better things that left!! I love your attention to detail and lighting nowadays and how beautiful your work is always dazzles me! You’re my biggest inspiration for drawing and have been since I was a kid, never forget how amazing you are

[@DumboOcto]

Don’t worry too much about your art block. Here’s two pieces of advice that help me when I feel the same way about my art: 1. You will always look at your art and say that something is missing. And that’s alright. You won’t ever be perfect, but you can always try to be close to it. Close to your own perfection. (A quote from *Fernanda Dias Artwork* ) 2. (This ones a bit long) Being stagnate in your current skill level is fine as long as you’re still trying to get better. Consistency isn’t always a problem. If it’s really bothering you, try giving yourself a challenge. Draw/ sketch things that you never have before. Sketch books, digital canvases, or anything else that allows you to express yourself, is also good for testing. Your art doesn’t have to be amazing every single time. If there’s still anything that you’re not good at drawing don’t be afraid to draw it. Your whole life you’ve been perfecting your skills with everything that you create. And a lot of the time, things were messy or came out looking bad. But look at where you are now. The same thing can be applied to whatever it is you’re lacking. Just remember that courage and determination is one of the most essential things that any hobby or career takes.

[@kittycathomestuck]

i don’t think you’re improving in art because you are already really good, you are so great at art it is almost impossible to put anymore improvement in, when you do the “putting myself in anime” series you’re art style is so versatile and can change depending on the situation, I look up to you’re art so much and you are so creative. When ever I watch you’re videos I always I feel so happy and more cheered up, Pls never give hope

I feel like you have been improving so much! Your overall knowledge on the art fundamentals such as color theory, anatomy, and perspective really show in your illustrations! I always admired how you could draw fully rendered illustrations in a day or so, when it takes me 2 months LOL. Your illustrations are incredibly detailed and evoke a lot of emotion. I see how you can do backgrounds better and better each year, aswell as improving your work flow and productivity. Your art style is one of the most unique and recognizable art styles that I know, and if somebody showed me an artwork of yourself that I haven't yet seen, I'd know exactly who its from!

I'm more of a silent viewer but i think i just have to say that i've been watching you since 2018 or 2019, so about 3 or 4 years now. And i'm so impressed of how much you've improved over the years. Recently i've been watching a lot of your older videos and then seeing your newer ones make me think "Wow she's improved a LOT". I have the same feeling that i'm not improving at art and been feeling down but your video actually helped me understand that it's okay to not be improving in art at a fast pace. And that if you might not be improving at the moment you're gonna be better at art sooner or later. So thank you for being here for the last years and making people smile with your wonderful videos and that wonderful artstyle of yours :D

Your art and animation are still unique! Many people wish to draw like you, meaning you have a lovely art style!

Theres a series of it and you would definitely draw the most amazing thing for it, even if other people didn't agree!!!

[@C00keis901]

I never look for major improvement in art because I improve naturally. One day I decide to do something different and my art Improves, but it takes a long time. That's why I hate it when people yell at you for not improving, it happens when the person finds a way and likes the way they've improved naturally, they can't JUST improve.

[@M00nShad0w]

I discovered your channel a week or two ago and I've binge watched your videos from the last two years haha. I see you've improved A LOT. The improvement might seem slower for some people and to you, because you are at a point (at least this is how I see it) where you've found your style/styles you are comfortable with and are now "perfecting" it. You've had the fundamentals and more down for a long time so it is only to be expected to "improve slower". For example, do we really see a big improvement for the BIG artists in a year or two? Not really, because the improvement will slow down as we get better and better. Also about the video, I loved it

[@MTSgt]

I think that the people who commented that didn't realize the difference between a time period where your style doesn't change much and art improvement. You have, without a doubt, Improved. I've watched your video's for quite some time now and you can tell that you've improved exponentially in poses, anatomy, lighting and perspective. Those are all art principles that you've been able to master. The thing that I think people reffered to in the mean comments is that your style has changed little to none. Is that a negative? NO! There will always be changes in your style over time and sometimes the changes are so little that they aren't very noticeable. Doesn't mean you haven't improved, it just means that you are content with the style you have in that time period or haven't discovered new things in other people's style which inspire you. So in conclusion, the comments were wrong and hopefully this can assure you that you have improved. I hope that this comment helped and to anyone else besides Rebekah who's reading this, I hope that you 2 have been assured of this. We're all on a different art journey and on a different part of it, so trust in yourself that you can improve and already have. You're not alone in this, so don't be so hard on yourself for going through what we will all go/have all gone through. Have a good day/night guys and know that you're free to share your view on this under this comment

[@mainGhostslayer101]

Hello. I am an unspoken viewer of your content. I haven't watched your channel to the fullest extent just yet, but based on the videos I did see, I am seeing tremendous improvement in your artwork, especially since I have a younger brother who is also a pretty good artist. I know many people have said that you might've not improved, but I am going against those comments saying that you have improved, if at all slightly slow and/or unnoticeable, which I find okay because I can find that taking a break from what you spend a lot of time on, whether that's art or gaming or really just any hobby in general that you spend a lot of time on, helps with your self esteem and really gives you a better experience in life, especially if you're going through hardships. And based on what you've told us, it definitely sounded like persisting with the one hobby a lot isn't healthy for your self esteem and it definitely starts to become unenjoyable. Hopefully everything works out for you okay, and hopefully the people who don't notice your improvement understand the situation. Oh. Also, I have watched your videos where you drew yourself into anime scenes and I would love it if you expanded on that series a little bit. I'm not saying this can be right away. You have plenty of time to do stuff beforehand. But I seriously would like it if you did, because I am constantly wondering when I would start watching anime, even though the only ones I watched, that being Pokemon and Sonic X, had been back in my childhood. I do have a couple mangas, one with a few animes in the one book at different parts, and another being full on My Hero Academia, but it's been a long time since I read them, and I only watched a few episodes of Dragon Ball as well as a bit of Naruto, but not a whole ton. I keep trying to find the moment to get Crunchyroll or some kind of app that I can watch anime on, but I never do so. On the topic of that, if you do want to expand on the series, then I think maybe you can do a scene from Naruto. I know it may be violent in some places, but I'm sure you can find a scene you can squeeze yourself into. If you don't end up doing Naruto, that's fine. I won't force you to doing something you don't want to do.

Hey dude, don’t be afraid to vent on your channel. It’s yours and you get to do whatever because you are your own boss! It also helps us connect with you better because we share similar struggles. I’m only 15 so I’m not an expert on emotions, but I do know that this place is safe for you to vent. Have a good day.

[@CleoKane]

just tell those comments to watch that video of your old art. you have improved so much! you are a great artist!

[@SpensPens]

I think it's kinda sad that some people are equating a consistent art style with a lack of improvement. Like yeah, any changes in style are subtle, but from what I'm seeing and hearing, how you're using helpful tools less often and producing the same quality of work faster, I'd say that's a lot of improvement!

[@kalesalad7234]

[@WhiteMageRae]

I don't usually comment because I'm shy and I never know what to say, but I just finished your video, and I thought I'd share some encouragement. I'm a 32 almost 33 year old woman and I've been drawing for years. My art is still not where I want it to be. Like you I've had to focus on other things in recent years so drawing hasn't been a priority, but I'm trying to get back into it. I'm sorry you've been getting negative comments. I don't think you should worry about whether or not you're improving. I personally love your art and I have seen improvements in your style over the years. You are a huge inspiration to me so I hope you keep drawing!

[@Izuku_Blue]

Love how the link drawing turned out, and u ARE improving don't think to much about those who say u haven't, because u definitely are improving and all ur art is amazing!! 😍😍❤

[@Love2DrawManga]

Aww!! Thank you!!

[@everlastingscribe]

I can't tell you how much it makes my heart glad, to hear how you /have/ grown. Oh my word, have you grown! Putting art as a servant instead of a master BRILLIANT! Putting your life ahead of your passion PHENOMENAL. Recognizing burn-out and doing things proactive to SLAY it AMAZING!!!!! Just looking at the art that is what you put on paper, I would say the growth there I've seen is the way that your breaking the canvas both in the comic and single sketches. Also you've been really pushing yourself more and more with the negative space, I've noticed. Thanks for being so transparent with your struggles. That's incredibly courageous of you, and very much appreciated.

[@Lucifer_Abysseum]

I personnally like seeing little changes and improvment in your videos, like how you do the eyes (they were a lot simpler not even so long ago), how you've gotten comfortable in drawing certain things you were struggling with few years ago, and so on. I'm glad you've come to notice that you are in fact improving on the points you mentionned during this video, and that you are feeling better. Take care

[@uri1363]

Hi Rebekah! I rarely comment on videos but I felt like i wanted to say something this week You're honestly one of my biggest inspirations in art and everytime I'm in an art slump, I always watch your videos and they make me feel so motivated to try and not give up. Improvement wise, I've seen so much when i rewatch your old videos!!! The difference between a video you made around 2021 and a video made late this year can really show u the improvement! I hope you don't let these comments get to you, and just know you should be proud of how consistent your art style is, and how much you've improved through the years!

[@dum1014]

I haven't seen any of your videos in a long time so when I started watching some of your video I was amazed at how much better your art has gotten. I also really like the videos you make where you draw yourself into anime scenes.

[@akio2805]

to everyone who think their art isn’t improving: ik this feeling so good and sometimes it will effect me sm I start thinking that my art is actually getting worse, and I’m here to say that’s not it, just like any other talent, as long as u put effort on it u will improve ,but improving doesnt always happen quickly, and that’s okay we all need time and there’s so much things to learn, i see every small step the differs from ur usual drawing process is an improvement , please don’t rush it and force yourself to improve, it will only lead to a downfall, i would love to say that u have inspired me personally and I honestly do take a lot of art advices from u Rebekah , and ur art is honestly so satisfying to see and looking back at where u started to where u are now is enough of improvement, I’ll honestly love to see how far ahead u can go , u have went from making anime eye tutorials on KZbin, to making a manga, a novel, and more! This is just a message I wanted to put out there cause I really do adore ur art and style so keep up the hard work and don’t push ur limits❤

[@_its_gl]

I’m so sorry that people have been discouraging you. What you’ve been doing for yourself is great! None of us want you to get worn out or frustrated with art, and you definitely have been improving. Also, consistency is an amazing thing to be able to achieve nonetheless! Watching your videos is inspiring, and you’re doing an amazing job!!

[@mary_nyan]

First of all: your OC fashion sketches may be one of the most precious things you've done. Love the final results! As for the topic... You've been improving a lot. Your poses are more daring. Your coloring/rendering keeps becoming more vibrant and rich. I'm constantly impressed by your animation skills as well. And even if that improvement has slowed down... Is that really a bad thing? You're a very consistent artist (and editor?) who manages to keep a youtube channel and a webcomic going with pretty good quality. I don't think I've ever had a bad time with your videos. Your speed going up over time is fantastic news! Congratulate yourself, you deserve it! Just know that, sadly, these types of wonderful improvements won't show much on camera. And know that a lot of people don't understand that. All people care about is a final product that will wow them more and more; and faster. That is more of a 'we live in a society' situation, and not your fault. Art takes time, takes effort, and sometimes even regresses a bit. But then it comes back stronger and more beautiful than before! I'd also like to mention, that professional artists don't necessarily improve faster. I feel that the further up you go, the longer it takes. Because as a begginer you're learning all of these cool things you've never heard about before. As an intermediate/pro you're refining all these cool stuff you've heard 20x before and trying to unlearn the things you THOUGHT you knew. Plus all of the stress, self-doubt, pressure, deadlines... It's though. I'd say take a look at your favorite artists. If you notice, a lot will do same-y things for years; or even simplify their stuff to meet demands (specially if their main income comes from social media). And yes, they all get flak for it. But that doesn't mean they're doing anything bad or wrong. If anything, they're the ones winning in this situation: they can pay their bills doing what they love while still having time for their loved ones and their hobbies. That is wonderful. And that is what i wish for you. Sorry for the wall of text´´ Just yeah, thank you very much for your videos!! They always cheer me up when i'm doubting myself LOL"" So hope this can give back to you a bit!

[@violet6392]

You are absolutely amazing. I’ve been watching you for a little over a year and you have most definitely improved. And when you were talking about how you felt burnt out cause you were drawing almost all the time, I felt so much sympathy cause I related to it so much. I had a literal break down last New Years cause I was so tired of art and, like you, I was severely burnt out. I was taking a lot of art classes in school and I was constantly trying to get better to no avail. I was so close to quitting art all together, but I also felt like I was required to do it since I have been taking art more seriously for years now. And honestly, watching you during that time helped. I’m telling you all this so you know you aren’t alone and you know that, even though non artist/artist who don’t take it as you or I do, you’re fellow artists understand your struggle and we 10000000% support you. You are a huge inspiration to me and a lot to other people. Plz don’t feel guilty for taking breaks or taking a couple steps back to improve your own mental health❤❤

Your art does improve! Art improve slowly and you don’t notice, but look at your art now and your art a month ago! If you think about it you’ll see that it’s changed. I know you see some bad things and I think it’s affecting you because you get a LOT of support! Make sure to look on the bright side too!

Thank you, your art is amazing, and for the last 3 1/2 years I've been watching your videos seeing someone who I am learning from have the same struggles and grow with them is so inspiring. It encourages me to keep going so much so that I am constantly sharing your videos with my friends. All in all, you are amazing, and please never give up, take time for yourself, and don't listen to what does not help you.

To me Personally it doesn’t matter if your art isn’t Improving to others eyes, what matters is that you’re having fun with what you’re drawing’s. It’s your art, don’t mind those people if they’re hurting your feelings. Just ignore, and enjoy your art and your time with it. By the way I hope your wrist feels better!

[@Jul._.777]

It's funny, because often people don't really see when someone's improving. It's tiny tiny steps someone takes, it's just a little bit with every video. And then you look at the video from 5 month ago and you're blown away of how muve improved over that time span. Maybe you didn't improve in shading, but you could've improve in sketching and lineart. It's a long process, but it's worth it. 😌

[@strawberriesmusicc]

I think your are improving Rebekah you can draw whatever you want you did improve your art from the beginning of your channel❤😊

[@wolf9965]

I totally think your art is improving I a lot of the times watch your videos for motivation as I'm working on an animatic, and the change in style is so cool and you can easily tell that you are improving so please try not to get discouraged with your art as it is amazing

[@Pakapakachama]

I've been following you for years and I really believe that your art has improved! You experimented in many different videos and each time you added something new or rolled with it, there is a difference and improvement I've noticed! Your shading and highlighting styles were some of the parts that went through huge changes, really! The thing that seems "not improving" was the comfort-zone poses and that's a pardonable thing! Everyone gets busy and maintaining an account while being busy takes a lot, so sticking with your comfort zone in art is another way of maintaining skills!

[@naynam3307]

To be honest, I haven't watched your videos for almost six months, and now that I've seen a little bit of this video, I can honestly say that you've improved (I can say that the poses you draw have become more precise and energetic) Anyway, I hope you keep doing what you're doing because I love your drawing and your personality ❤ and btw i would really like to keep up with your videos as soon as i finsh my exams🤭

Random fan here, just because a change wasn’t noticed doesn’t mean it isn’t there. I still react to all of your videos with : OMG this is awesome and absolutely perfect!

I guess for me, I don’t *see* improvement because I never found anything wrong with it to begin with. I just like watching you draw every week.

I felt like I'm not improving at all. I think it's because it's difficult for me to draw in a style outside of anime. I tried looking at other artists works to gain inspiration, but I dunno? There's nothing much that stood out? It's mostly how people colored then outline. This video made me more motivated to get out of my comfort zone, though ^^ it's when you were talking about doing smaller rougher sketches so you wouldn't be so scared messing it up. This part feels like great advice for perfectionists
