5 Mistakes New Artists Make

Graphic stock link; graphicstock.com/ChloeRoseArt_...
Every artist was a beginner at some point, and here are 5 mistakes that many artists make in regards to their learning process.
1. Not asking for help, or not getting outside help when trying to self teach.
2. Not connecting/networking with other artists and expecting to build a following easily and quickly without working for it.
3. Not understanding copyright
4. Not using references (I always get asked "should I use a reference in my work?")
5. Getting overwhelmed and trying to master everything all at once (you cannot learn everything all at once and know how to use oils, acrylics, watercolors, digital art, perfect proportions, character design, etc. all at once, learning is a curve)

    Here are some tips in addition about copyright 1) no human pose can be copyright. 2) no lighting scenario can be copyright 3) no colour palette can be copyright. 4) no species of real animal can be copyright. As well A) take your own references whenever possible digital camera and selfies. Great for overall pose. Lighting and facial expression. B) do not be a slave to the reference! Change it up and use multiple references. C) use multiple references and change the pose as desired. D) think about the thing you are drawing as a 3D object E) Also draw from life F) you can take reference of animals at zoos, pet stores,etc. Ask friends and family for permission and help by getting them to pose or take photos of there pets (and draw from life).G) do roughs and thumbnails before even looking for reference, get reference to adapt to your needs don't adapt as much to the reference. H) changing a pose reference into your own character and changing all the colors is fine; as a pose can NOT be copyright. Any doubt just take your own ref in similar light and same pose. Places like graphic stock are still very useful if you are copying more directly from the reference rather than using it as one of many references. And if you want to copy it very closely or do photo manipulations. And huge tip: Search google: Public domain images --------------! Be aware of copyright but not full of fear. Make art and have fun!

I can definitely relate to all of the given points (and I am even guilty of most of these in my past) I think beginners just get overwhelmed as they want everything but don't know it takes years to get to such level ... If you're a few years in, stil standing strong in art and having goals to strive towards then you actually realise what wrong behavior you had in your past and that's okay. I just wish there were people who taught younger artist to have patience and willpower and it's grest artist likr you are reach for such medium!

I have been using oil pastels this past year and am discovering that I really appreciate how the different colors can be used and blended for lights and shadows. Sometimes it is hard to have some control of the oils for blending purposes, but that has been my experience so far.

    Most of these were totally relevant to my current progress, especially trying to learn everything at once and feeling weird about using references. For almost a decade, I was only really drawing every 3 months or so and had no consistency. I learned in short bursts and while I could make great headway in that time, I always fell off again so I wasn't continuing to improve. This was largely due to ongoing depression. Now that my mental health has improved, I'm also trying to stay consistent with art. It can definitely be frustrating at times because at my age, I feel like I should be leagues ahead in skill level. I'm just trying to pace myself and keep these things in mind. This was a great reminder!

    I love your channel! And References are huge! Even professional artists, animators and illustrators use them. Reference doesn't always mean copying the exact image. When I'm working on a piece from my head I'll look up reference and fill up a few pages in my sketchbook to see how the anatomy works, then I'll work on my piece. I just did a piece with birds and it definitely helped to know how wings work, but once you know how they work, you won't always need to copy from the exact reference. 😊

    This is the first video of yours that I´ve watched and I really enjoyed it. I would probably be in that first category, I mostly draw fan art and it´s just for fun but the past year I have tried to get my technical skills up and really have tried to make a concious effort to improve. I also really agree about connecting with other artists, I had a deviantart account in high school but I´s probably only after starting an instagram account this year that I´ve been working on the social part of social media and it´s alot of fun even though it has taken a bit of time. I find that talking to people and getting feedback from people who are at about my level is more fun to me than following the huge names and it´s nice to be apart of the community in another way. Also am in the same boat with trying new mediums, it can feel a bit disheartening when I try something new and I feel like I almost start at the bottom step but I guess that´s how it is when trying new things so I just try to enjoy the process instead of stressing about it.

    I get what you say about references but at a certain point it is necessary to distance yourself from them if you want to progress in drawing. When I was younger, I used to use a lot of references to draw, and that is completely normal. But learning to draw without reference is a totally different challenge. When using references, we tend to learn more how to "copy" things than actual proportions. It's like we learn how each body part looks, but without knowing how they all connect and interact with each other. Artists who have used lots and lots of references for a long time will have trouble getting started on a drawing, and finding the general shape of it. That's why I think that it is very important to start learning anatomy and proportions and to experimenting with them without always copying a reference fairly early, so that it gets easier down the line.

    and this is what I was saying in the video in regards to wanting to learn something outside of just "drawing characters for fun" for me I spent years perfecting drawing from a reference because all I wanted to do was to draw people and characters I liked, I never had the desire to make anything original or outside of that because I drew when I felt like it, not for any particular reason. And that's okay too, perhaps there are people out there like me who just want to learn how to draw people from movies that they love, there is no need for anybody to feel they have to do anything outside of that if what they are doing is just for fun. I know a lot of successful artists who make a living just drawing licensed work - Alice XZ is an incredible artist who draws and sells art from movies and shows, characters, etc. She just puts a cool colorful spin on her work so it isnt an exact copy of the reference picture/photo she is drawing from. That's why since starting youtube i've wanted to develop that further into making more original stuff, hence why I've been buying books and practicing more without them :) but references are definitely vital, you can still earn the way body parts are shaped if you study them as you are drawing them, they taught me how to see light and shadows, how to blend, how things are shaped, etc. But now i'm at a point where I want to learn the core of it to get a better understanding, hence the book :)

I had no idea you had to stretch the paper!! 😂 All these years of frustration and come to find out... I was doing it wrong! 😂😂😂 Go fig. Thank you again! I love your videos!

I had no idea you were supposed to "stretch" watercolor paper?! I need to figure that out, cuz I usually just rely on a heavy book to weigh down the warped paper lol.

    Number five, I am in that kind of a mindset. I've been practicing pencil sketch for so long that I don't have a clue about how paints work. (And by the way, thanks for the headstart, saying you're supposed to stretch water colour paper XD) I really wanna get better at painting but I can't seem to find the spirit. I sorta gross out by looking at a painting and then get back to pencils just to feed my confidence, and then the cycle repeats.

    I remember that when friends of my really wanted to draw they started to use drawings as a reference and this may sounds weird but you dont learn to draw because you scribble over the lines and a drawing with a foto as reference you have to learn it your own and think how you are gonna but your “style and foto” in one drawing on paper But still when im in art class and we get our free time .. i see people looking up “dog drawing” or “eye drawing”

    Im no master of any kind of medium but focusing on digital alone really helped me learn some skills that improved my art as a whole. In high school my art classes were all over the place. And the idea was just "Play with this" we werent really taught the finer points of anything... In 5 years I had one week of color wheel and highlight verse shadow training.. The rest of that time was us poking clay, playing with paint, carving soap.. You get the idea. There was a new medium every week if one lasted that long and the classes werent even an hour long. I went home and played in photoshop for hours daily. So my digital stuff improved where traditional failed. After years of that I graduated and didnt touch traditional stuff while I improved with digital... During that time I taught myself with trail and error, tutorials, art books, and watching speed paints. My skill improved and reflected. So if you dont think focusing on one type of art can help you improve in others, I am living proof. I did that whole "new medium a week" jazz and ended up hating all of them.

    Please please please go over just HOW to "start" a new paintbrush... So many ppl just crush out the stuff that keeps the shape... I learned that you should never do that! Especially if it is real hair (Kolinsky fx) .. Art teacher said to hold a new brush in the water, not touch the bottom of the glass (bending the brush). Swosh it around, and when it gets soft, you can gently bend against the bottom of the glass/jar/whatyouhavewaterin. Always let them dry brush down. Or horizontally. To keep the point, treat it with some brush soap to condition it. Let dry with soap. Thank you for all the tips and great vidz. You always inspire me! Hug from Norway, Katla Dragon

    Oil paints are my favorite especially if you love blending they take time to dry so you have so much play time it's really fun. I don't know too much I just watch bob Ross and his technique on using a wet base of white paint is soooo helpful if you start with oil you should follow along one of his videos so you atleast get a feel of how the paints work. Oooo sorry this is a long comment but at think at Michaels art supply there is a starting kit of oil paints that I got that has 2 oil paint brushes (you'll learn to love the hairs of those brushes. Way easier to clean) you get I think 8 paints and liquin it's Winsor and newton. I swear the pigment is beyond good. I got a good deal on them too the original price was 80 but I got it for 40. I highly suggest oil paints

    QUICK NOTE ABOUT COPYRIGHT: YOU CAN DRAW FANART AND SELL IT. YOU ARE PROTECTED BY COPYRIGHT LAWS. The most important thing to keep in mind is to consider whether your artwork is *transformative* For example, if you redraw a screen cap or trace promotional images that would not be protected under copyright; but if you come up with your own pose and interpret the characters in your own way (i.e. transform it) you can use the work for commercial purposes. (but even then, the screen cap thing is debatable) COMMERCIAL USE IS NOT A DETERMINING FACTOR IN COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT CASES. THIS IS A HUGE MISCONCEPTION AND IT IS SUPER UNTRUE. THIS BEING SAID: ALWAYS READ YOUR LOCAL LAWS REGARDING COPYRIGHT. More often than not what I said holds true but if you want to be sure, reading the statutes that apply to wherever you live is a good rule of thumb. (also cases are generally very case-by-case so there is also that to keep in mind) My main message is don't be intimidated by the phrase "it's against copyright", a lot of people I know in real life say this on a regular basis and they're stupid. Nobody should listen to them. This might seem a bit shady.... no shade is being thrown at you Chloe, I love your work this is just the salty ramblings of a legal studies student

    Yes you are right and it falls into a "gray area" ie a parody law, but it's a little bit complex and hard to explain in a short video when I myself still dont understand it 100%! I've sold a fanart design on a tshirt on redbubble for years, a crossover style design that, while it is obvious who the characters are, they are not from a screenshot or reference image, the characters were in my own "style" while still having elements of the original. Teefury.com is a great example of fanartists selling work. I may talk about this at a later date :)

    Xemera I recently had a Kickstarter where I made charms of Pokemon as if they were sushi, or poke bowls, as part of a transformative parody. They were my own poses, and my own designs for the characters, but I got served with copyright infringement from The Pokemon Company and had to take it all down. I had a lawyer tell me I couldn't fight it either, and that fan art is largely copyright infringement unless you have a license from that company. I sell at conventions and have been told countless stories of getting an email explaining that the fan art was a violation of copyright law (usually Nintendo and Disney are the ones who go after artists the most). Fan art is a grey area and it's something that artists really need to research and prepare for before selling their work in certain markets.
