Pastel Witch Like the guy above me said, realistic art is not necessarily a copy-paste. The only qualifications are that it _looks_ realistic. Even realistic art not wholly drawn from imagination reflects how the artist sees the world (what is focused on, how the artist interprets events, etc). And let's be completely honest here, photos hardly give the same colors as you see with your eyes. You're also putting stylized art on a bit of a pedestal. Many people who try to draw anime do so without any knowledge of anatomy, perspective, or other vital components of art. It's just "I watched anime and want to copy it". Others go for cartoonish styles taken from superhero comics, TV shows or regular comics, and it just ends up a distorted version of the original. It's hardly how the artist sees the world, it's how they're able to stylise objects to fit in their already stylised world, and that style may not even be their own. In fact, stylistic art is basically realistic art distorted and lacking the extreme detail. You should judge art based on merit rather than some misguided idea of "this guy is more creative and I can see more of who he is through his art". Have you _seen_ some of the imaginative realistic art out there? They have to create shit that has not a suitable reference on this earth. While stylistic artists can make a shape then color without really caring too much about detail, realistic artists can make whatever fantastical thing they're creating seem plausible. And realistic sculptures are the shit.

I absolutely hate it when people say I'm "talented" at drawing. I was never born with the ability to draw. I started off drawing stick figures. I started off struggling with circles. But with many years of struggle, I actually got better. Saying I'm talented or other artists are talented is flattering, but tbh I feel like people completely ignore the amount of time and effort I took to get to the level of art I'm at.

I feel lucky that my parents have always supported me wanting to have a creative career ever since I was a kid. My dad even encourages me NOT to get a real job if it doesn't make me happy! I hate that there are so many people out there with parents trying to discourage them.

I'll say this now, I really really hate the word talented. It's sad that you spend so much effort and time and they just say "you're so talented! I wish I could draw like you! " actually, you can draw like me, if you put as much effort as I did, as much time I took, I'm sure you could. But did you? No. Exactly. I think the artist would be much happier if you said "this is pretty" or "nicely done" rather than "you're so talented I wish I could draw like you! " because to the artist, it probably sounds like "you put no effort you're just gifted, I'm jealous! " that's just my opinion anyway...

One of the most annoying things I've heard is, "I can't even draw a stick figure/straight line!" ... ... Well, guess what? I can't draw a straight line either! That's what rulers are for! And honestly,( I know this sounds horrible) I don't care if you can draw a friging stick figure or not!! I just don't.

XD Yes, I spent an hour drawing an ear that's a few centimeters. But that's why it looks good. Not because I had talent, but because I have drawn my whole life and spend time trying to make what I draw look right.

The second myth frustrates me so much that whenever I do paintings and people degrades themselves cus they are not "gifted" or "talented" I always.. always say "I practiced since I was 8.. It's not purely talent but half of it...is hard work." But they won't believe me bec they think that I'm trying to comfort them to their levels. They know my mom paints so they say it "runs in the family" It's really annoying bec I'm not into painting landscapes like my mom while my mom can't paint/draw people like me. I'm glad some artists disagrees with this myth. Thanks for making this video. I can share this to those annoying people I met in the way ✨☺️

I know this feeling. I've been drawing on and off ever since I was in kindergarden. I drew nonstop as a kid, stopped for some time, then started to draw a lot again and now it dampered down to drawing every other day. Of course I'm better than most people who hardly ever draw, although I am by no means a master, because they hardly ever draw. Many people don't seem to get that concept.

Myth #1 is why I currently work in an office while my bachelor's in something I didn't really want sits in my file cabinet. I wish someone like you had been around telling me that art is a real job. I've lost most desire for art now because I missed my prime. I feel drained by the humdrum of "safe" and "stable", which also means "pointless". I hope young artists are watching this and decide to take the leap and pursue art as a career.

@segawalilac

I also currently work in a office with a high paying job with a shiny piece of paper that I spent 4 years getting. However, since I was about 14, my goal always been getting a stable office job and draw in my spare time. I am currently drawing anime/manga art in my spare time and tabling at artist allies at my local cons. So I got to know quite a few artists, some full time, some part time who wants to pursuit art as full time. A few of them certainly have said many times "I'm not poor being an artist! I don't know where that myth comes from!" From my perspective, they are certainly not well off and are definately less well off than I am financially. What I regret is not so much missing out on my "prime" but regret being financially sable that I am spoilt. I don't want to do art full time because the income is lower and less stable than what I have now. The joy from doing art fulltime does not offset the financial worries in my mind. I will just have to live with my artist friends improving their art while I just crawl slowly. But hey! At least I have more art materials than my professional artists friends... tl;dr Kids, if you go for the stable job route, you will end up not being able to return to art without sacrifices.

where there is life there is hope ,art doesn't have an expiry date , just restart it for your own pleasure and see where it takes you , good luck

It's often in life that things are actually seen upside down by most people. Is being an artist easy? Well, let's compare to a brick layer. A person is taught how to do his job and he grows muscles. He doesn't have to think much more than that, he follows a pattern, eats right, rests and relaxes as he pleases when it's done. An artist is a never ending learning. If an artist just follows a pattern and stays in comfort zone, they fail and fade away. Many people cannot learn, they don't want, they're afraid to. But they think if they do something heavily physical, they work "more". Now let's compare to the surgeon. That's more close to the truth. A surgeon needs a steady hand, a good healthy body and mind, endurance and huge knowledge. Sounds just like an artist. Only the result vary - an artist does not juggle lives of other people, only emotions and sometimes inspiration. But! A doctor needs to refresh the knowledge from time to time to stay sharp. So does an artist. But an artist, as already said, needs to learn something new every day. There's no stopping, there's no level 80 where you don't need anything else and can relax and easily doodle Jakonda in 20 minutes. So there's still something even more difficult for an artist compared to a surgeon. The precision is about the same. Not all artists reach for the stars but some do. To create something new, to collect ALL the information, ALL the emotions, find strength and motivation, process everything and bring something absolutely unseen before from the outer side of the universe... is priceless. That's what big companies like Disney do. People may not understand it but these guys actually create something absolutely new that feels like... like the world couldn't even exist without these. Can you imagine our world without Bambi? Without Lion King? They seem like taken from the math, the universe itself. But that's what most people don't understand! Yes, NOW you can look at these and make a million copies, your own cartoons and characters with the same eyes, same noses, same hands, same hair etc. Now that you know how it SHOULD look! But it DID NOT EXIST BEFORE! At all! When you think about it, it seems impossible. I'm talking about animation because I think it's actually one step beyond. When people like Da Vinci and Michelangelo drew humans and places, they simply looked at what already exists. They only had to learn how to show it better. Disney create something absolutely new. Something so geometrically appealing that it feels like real. The cartoon characters look simple but it's the most difficult part - to make something look pleasing, with nothing unnecessary and sticking out, only what matters. Sadly, only artists will understand. What it is to play god and create something nature would never be able to create. Only human. In that artists are very much like doctors. And I personally think an artists, a REAL Artist, is the most difficult job on the planet. Not disgusting, not physically exhausting or dangerous but most complex and needy. But you can always try to compare and prove me wrong. ;)

Mallory SF i don't agree that it's the most difficult job, because there are so many risky jobs out there. As a surgeon you have to save peoples lives, just as an engineer checking if rollercoasters are safe. All that stuff. But i agree with all the things you said about Disney, creating thing which were never there before. That's what I live for, as an artist, since i was young i have these images in my head, and i love making them into real paintings and showing people what I created in my head. It's amazing. What i also agree with, is that there is no max. level. When you worked long enough, as a surgeon, you know how to do most of the surgeries. But as an artist there is always someone who's better than you, whose art is more appealing, rememberable, and you always have to improve and fight if you want to stay relevant. Art is amazing. It's bittersweet but so endearing.

Honestly, my family members sometimes compare me to my Great Grandma who is now gone. Some of my family members say that her art talent carried over to me which I don't think is true. Because my talent is something I built and which still needs building. My GGma was a painter who usually painted flowers onto dishes which isn't a bad thing. My mom used to be an artist but she stopped because she didn't think she was good enough which i even told her that it was stupid that she thought that way. I said that if she would've kept going that she would be good! I believe that No body is born with talent, talent is something earned by hard work and practice. A baby isn't naturally gifted with art when their first piece is that better of Vincent van Goph or something.

I used to abide by their words and now I have so many missed opportunities from improving my art and have to start from scratch all over again. Art is a passion of mine, but remains one of many. I plan to continue with art, but as a hobby. If the opportunity arises, I might make it my main career. I agreed with all of these myths, and had to self-check myself for a few of them. This was really eye-opening, thank you for making this video and it really makes me feel better about who I want to be in life and what path I want to follow.

Because of the first myth, I didn't realize I could do art as a job, so now I'm learning to become something very different, but I also want to do art as a part time job or at least as a hobby. The thing is, I'm kinda chasing myself to my death very early this way. Ohwell, shame on me for not knowing what I want. (I admire your drawings and tutorials btw)

As an artist myself, I can confirm that that is my BIGGEST peeve. People ask me that all the time, and usually I say no.... But it's also nice to challenge yourself-- maybe you only draw stunningly beautiful people and need practice on realistic human expectations, or maybe you need to diversify your style to different body types-- and it's also a good idea to make some money in the process. Example: "Are you drawing? OMG DO YOU DRAW?" "Uh.... yeah." "Woah that looks cool! CAN YOU DRAW ME?!?!" "Yes. But I don't work for free. I can do a small head-shot for (maybe $7) or a full body pose for (maybe $15)." *The people who actually pay you are rare, but usually fun to draw* :)

I agree with you. People think doing art can't make you successful, but it takes years of practice, years of patience and time, and it takes creativity not just a paint brush.

Oh my gosh! Your watercolor pictures are BEAUTIFUL!!! Watercolor is one of my favorite things to work with, so I very inspired by your picture you made, I love it!

"You're an artist so clearly you must be atrocious at math and anything related to science" That's the one that annoys me the most, partly because you need to have some grasp on physics and a good understanding of biology (or at least the anatomical aspects of it) to position creatures in space and draw them doing just about anything at all (the only way to get around that is by always straight out copying references), and that goes doubly for comics with all those people punching and shooting and fantastical creature flopping around, and partly because it feeds that horrible left brain-right brain myth.

Exactly! Not to mention that some drawings require exact measurements and calculations to make the lines perfect. And that artists usually do research on their drawings before they do them (if they were drawing a certain person doing a certain job or something like that)

Amazingly beautiful work! Can't wait to see more.

Thank you. I have been told those myths all my life. I'm starting to pursue art now, but it is hard to get going when my full time job gets in the way. So thank you for helping to inspire me further. It looks to me that you have gone very far already as an artist. I hope you continue to do so. Best of luck, please don't stop inspiring others.

I don't know if this is a myth, so much a comment I got throughout highschool:"you're left handed?! You must be such a talented artist!" I don't even know where it came from, but I never thought what hand you used determined your art skill. But to be fair, I do think talent as an artist does exist. I taught my cousin to draw basic shapes when he was about three and now at eight, he is drawing at the same level i was at when I got serious about my art [which was about as good as his age group] at 15

FreedWulf I also do think there is some kind of talent. Some people pick it up quicker and things come easier to them. What it doesn't mean, and most people are confused that way, is that if you lack amazing talent you can't become good at art. Yes some people need more or less practice to get to a certain level. And no it isn't a "black and white" thing where you either have talent or you don't. You can have various degrees of talent. But not only the execution is important, if you don't have a good imagination, if you aren't creative and can't come up with anything by yourself, that's the much bigger problem. I think talent exists but it is also an excuse people have so they don't have to work on themselves. Even a talentet artist isn't born with knowledge of perfect anatomy and all the skills needed as an artist.

it is more common for left handed people to be in an artistic field than right handed people. But to see a left handed person and go "You must be so talented!!" is really weird to me haha

Myth number one, people thinkingthat art isn't a "real" job hurts my heart so much. I think it's why it took me until this year to throw caution to the wind and believe in myself when nobody else would. I think I spent a lot of time listening to the whole world telling me that art is a hobby, not a life. I'm glad there are more and more of us waking up and opening our eyes and doing our best to be brave. Thanks for the video, I really like hearing your perspective, and I hope it helps more people understand us, as well as themselves.

I'm learning so much from you Kristy. You are an incredibly skilled artist & I love your straightforward way of teaching. Thank you ❤

This video said it was recommended for me. I decided to click another video and come back to this one. I come back and its gone, so I spent the next three days looking for it. And I finally found it. I'm glad that I didn't ignore this video.

Every little thing in this world is made by artists. Building and other structures are built by Architects, architects are artist who chose to become an architect since its their dream. Animators, Comic makers,etc. they are artists. Bei g an artists is twice and is much more harder than any job, artists have been induring many pains and challenges, pains such as; being compared to another artists, people asking them to draw for them for free, etc.; challenges such as, artist fears, artist block, lack of materials, surpassing your capability to improve and many more. Artists are the once who's been beautifying this world, improving this world, and making the world a wonderful place.

Thank you Kirsty you have given me hope. I’m 55 and have always been interested in art but never had the time as a busy mum working full time as a cancer nurse specialist. Now I have the time I can dedicate the whole day every day learning. I can’t draw at all, absolutely hopeless but have a hard determination to learn especially coloured pencil drawing & colouring. I’ve subscribed to your channel & my partner is signing me up to your top Patreon 👍 . I am really looking forward to learning & working along side you teaching me. Thank you 🙏🏻 for the opportunity Best Wishes Dianna ❤️

So interesting watching your process, continually changing colours and reshaping. Wonderful to watch and listen.

I love both the advise and the painting. Thank you for sharing your passion and wisdom with us

I can just see the love and passion in your work!

about the second myth, i completely agree! Before grade six (and during half of grade six) i was terrible at drawing, but back then i thought i was good. Now, nearly three years into drawing, there’s still room for so much improvement, but i still think i’m pretty good for my age.

Great inspirational video and love your work! 💕 I FINALLY made up my mind about wanting to be an artist. It took a long time to find my niche but I'm so excited to get started and give it my all! I look forward to watching many more of your videos I'm sure we can all learn a lot from them. Keep up the great and beautiful work!

That was spot on! Thank you for the video and helping to clear all that up 😁

Absolutly love your watercolor serie! Would be so happy if you could post more watercolor videos, especially the beginner ones with easy things to paint. So inspiring. Keep up your good work:)

This is so true! Also, I saw this in my recommended and scrolled through your videos. I immediately fell in love with your art style and voice so I subscribed in 30 seconds :D

I don't have money for classes.. I don't have the experience of an artist like you.. But I have a pencil, and paper. I might as well use them. I may need the proper guidance more, but I can always look up to artists like you to motivate me, and other young artists! THANKYOU for being a part of my experience. I love watching you paint, so much.. It helps me realize that I can be just as skilled as anyone as long as I work hard ❤️

Hey Kristy! I loved your work and the video content! Keep sharing your opinions and keep inspiring. Love from India!

Thank you for this vid! 😊 I hate it when people say “Wow, you’re so talented!” because that makes it seem like you haven’t been working hard. The bird is so beautiful! ❤️

Wow, you have such a unique easy style! Your paintings always look so nice ❤️❤️

My mom is extremely supportive of me being an artist. She tells me sometimes about different jobs i can onbtain as an artist, things i can do now with my art as a kid, for example making illustrations for birthday cards or otbers. I love creating things. One day i will become an artist, and if not, i'll dtill keep it as a hobby besides the other job i'll have. I even thought of being an art teacher! I think often how cool it would be to be a teacher, but i didn't know what kind of teacher... but then it struck me. An art teacher, of course. I'm exited for the future! :)

My mom believes that artists can’t earn a stable living, so she basically believes the stereotype that artists are poor. She’s _real_ supportive about me wanting to make a career out of art. It’s the main reason I stopped showing her my drawings. Still not gonna hesitate to ask for art supplies this Christmas, though. I want me some copic markers.

I'm totally in love with your work and you!! Amazing

Thank you so much for your motivating words. I'm definitely staying in the game.

One of the myths that I struggle with (mainly within myself - not something that people have told me) is that I cannot consider myself an "artist" because I have not had any formal training. I do have some natural talent (with plenty of room for improvement), a desire to learn more, and definitely an overall passion for art. It is encouraging to have found you and to learn that you are self-taught. I will be a faithful viewer/subscriber. ;)

Just 4 years ago, I wanted more than anything to be a really good artist, And i didnt feel confident about my skills. But ive improved greatly! Im hoping when I get out of school, (someday 😧) to go to an art school, and keep improving

that jøshler skeletøn yeah well spend some time on instagram to see all those kids who have bately reached teen age and make my 21 old self look like an absolute amateur. Age is just an excuse for older people to put down the younger.

I don't understand how people can believe that art isn't a real job, it's mind blowing. Great job on the painting btw, I love the colors you use.

Great video, thank you so much for this! Everything you mentioned I've heard all my life and was lead to believe them all. Now I'm nearly 58 and wasted precious time. I'm am only now doing what I love and that's art! I wondered if you had a video on how to create quality videos, posting on KZread, and Patreon ?

I've been drawing since I was 2 and I've always loved it! I'm ten years all now and I'm still always going to love drawing

I'm 9 years old and I'm usually called the art kid in class. This really inspiers me to be really determined with my art and carry on.Thank you :)

This Blue jay is just SO beautiful I love it so much,I don't want to be an artist as a job but I love to draw and I just want to get better!

To be honest, I love hoe you kept the small advertisement in the beginning short. After watching some videos were they last minutes that's honestly amazing. Your art is amazing, and I agree with most of these. Good job on this by the way.

thank you, thank you so much, i have so much anxiety about the future, how im going to make it as an artist, im finally getting support by one of my parents, (im almost 17, keep in mind) it's been a long journey, and i have a whole crap load of things to do, so thank you for lending me some much needed encouragement

Ooh the water brushes. I'm planning on getting a set. I love them.

beautiful painting. you make it look so easy

You are absolutely amazing!!

Your videos are so inspiring!

The bird is so cute! Every time I see realistic Art or drawings my heart and eyes always flash With joy!

Thanks much for the video! Love hearing this stuff! ^^

hats off! really nice piece of art!

Absolutely stunning

I quite agree that art is a skill that is accomplished through knowledge and a lot of practice. It certainly isn't something that happens instantly by magic (at least for me, contrary to what my family thinks). I really enjoy all of your videos that I've seen and I think I've learned quite a lot about what works from them. Thank you for giving me even more inspiration and love of art.

Thank you so much this was so helpful.

Why I didn't stumble upon your channel earlier?! ahhhh... *rolls the eyes* Thank you for all your words!

I draw and sketch and I would so love to buy one of your paintings to hang on the wall.

Spot on! Such great points :).

This is so good!

I’m lucky my aunts mother is a fantastic painter and makes more than what a stable career would, and this goes to show my family I can too if I want to be an artist since I’m “decent” in my opinion since I have high standards set. My family lets me pursue my art dreams, and I’m very thankful.

omg THANK YOU ! the first one destroyed me as a kid i got told that it is a hobby and not a job so i left drawing and until my teenagehood i started to learn again. i have wasted so many years because of this statement

Your technique is amazing!

2:40 THANK YOU!!! It always bothers me when people chalk up someone's success to "talent" because it really discredits all the hard work they put into their work. It isn't about talent, it's about passion and the want to always improve.

Yes! My brothers call me lazy all the time because when I'm not in school, I'm on my computer. But I'm not playing video games! I am spending 3+ hours per character, not including sketch or background, then I'm replying to people who are commenting, bidding, etc! It gets frustrating.

The blue jay turned out very beautiful!

I'm 15 and I have only recently rekindled my love for drawing and making character designs for my stories, I have also told my Dad that I want to persue a career as an artist, his response was a scoff and him saying "you can't just draw for a living" I then had a 3 hour debate on why you can persue a career in art, from concepts to poster to logo deigns, I went through everything to get my point through to him that you can have a career in nearly everything.

I have those brushes that hold the water in them. And you can just draw and if you need more water you squeeze it. They are so good. I love them.

You are so good at art! I'm going to ask my dad if he can buy a copy of your bird. You are awesome!

I subbed cause of this its amazing aswell as thanks for the things now i know things that i didnt even know :3

Your reply to the second myth hit me hard

This piece is so beautiful! :D Got me motivated to draw some birds!

I like how since I can kinda draw good I just watch all these amazing art videos

I hated to draw and paint, but when I was 9 my father fourced me to attend art classes in my summer vecation. I hated those classes, but after a few days I started enjoying it. Now I am an artist and I am always thankful to my father who descovered my passion and lead me in the right way

In didn't know where that painting was going but after 6mins it stared coming together and looking really good. This is a problem i have when im painting, i cant get passed that grey area when the piece isnt good or bad, i never know when im finished.

My mom once told me that I should join the navy instead of be an artist. I have a fear of both the ocean And being on boats Good job mom! You really know your daughter!

The talent thing is so true. People see my drawings and are oh my god you're so talented and I explain to them how many hours a certain piece took and that if they put in the same effort they can draw something nice too and they don't believe me. They believe it took me hours but not that they can do it as well.
