Or think of smart failure not as a penny, but as a whole dollar, or maybe 10. You'll get there much faster. (Additionally: think of abstract generalization and direct reality warping as manipulating the concept of money itself for your own purpose. A godlike state.)

Dang Ethan you did it again. Yet another video I needed to hear. I do have a very very bad fear of failure, mostly due to working with someone collab wise, who collabs with another good artist. I get this worry that if I don't keep up, that the important person I'm collabing with will drop me for the other artist. It's been hinted before. So now I feel paralyzed, EXTREMELY paralyzed on the pieces I work on now. I'm so scared of failing and falling behind.....that I won't be good enough, but it seems I need to fail faster in order to learn better. I need to stop being a BABY and get to failing!

The layer amounts equal to the amount of controls you want over your painting. For a human face, it could be as simple as Albedo color, subdermal colors, color zone adjustment layer, SSS, Specular, skin texture detail, facial features layer that tells the story about character. or you could divide each facial regions for more control of reflection over your character's face. use as many as you need but make sure to organize them in groups correctly for easier adjustment later ( opacity/hsv/etc). The fixing & lookdev stage will always come later on, so planning out the layer structure beforehand is super helpful.

Unfortunately I spend more of my time increasing my skill in video games rather than productive things like drawing, but there is some fun correlations I want to share. One of my all time favorite games is Celeste, it's a brutally hard platformer where you're bound to fail constantly before hitting the mark. Interestingly, Celeste keeps a death count for each level, and there's no way to ever lower it. Lets say you die 200 times your first run through, even if you go back through and only die 50 times now your total death count is 250. This bothered me because I'm a perfectionist when it comes to certain things, namely games, and I like to look as good as possible. I want that high K/D, that perfect score, all those deaths are just a reminder of my previous failures. But during the second or third level there's a loading tip that tells you to be proud of your death count, because it's proven how much work you've put in, a number to represent your improvement as a player. As a player you interpret your death counter as a growing number of your failures, and in turn you interpret that as purely a negative thing. That's why most games do there most to hide your apparent shortcomings. But by turning that negative perception into a positive one it actually bolstered my confidence and after finishing a set of grueling levels I was actually excited to see my death count! Now it was something I could laugh about rather than something I wanted to cover up. I didn't have to necessarily be proud of it, but there was no reason to be ashamed of it. Now I see that I should really bring that mentality into more things, primarily drawing. Instead of considering the hundreds of attempts it took to get a decent looking face a complete failure, I should be proud of how much paper I had to tarnish before succeeding. It's a representation of your resolve and determination, not your ineptitude.

@Leaf Thank you so much for your wish. I have a daughter with a high IQ who hardly ever gets to see it reflected in her grades because she also has a bad learning/reading disorder. She works and works for so little reward and often wants to give up. She would be doing so much better with a few encouraging pep talks, but so many teachers are constantly negative, overly criticizing, and tearing down. Of course they only reflect the mentality of the system they are subject to. Also, I'm not speaking to teachers who are trying to be encouraging, all props to you wonderful people. :) When are people ever going to learn you can be straight up honest yet nice and positive about it at the same time?
Great vid, thank you for the motivation boost Ethan
I'm crying because this is me. I'm not drawing because I'm afraid of the failure. And then I feel bad about myself, then I draw and I fail and then I also feel bad about myself. there is this one project I love working on but I don't because I'm afraid to fail it. But I should fail it! This vid made me feel better in the end and super inspired to draw and fail!

Ethan, it's great how you talk about this big-picture mindset stuff on your channel. When you're an artist who's struggling to get better, one practical tip about how to think can be more valuable than 100 hours of step-by-step videos.

I just realized a lot of something after watching a lot of Ethan's vids....that 1.you don't need to be necessary good at drawing (or make it look pretty types) 2.story and designs are can make your drawing much better than making it completely a pretty drawing 3.you need to fail...I think he means to fail successfuly or as they say "mission failed successfuly" 4. That I'm a whiny baby 5.that I suck and that's okay 6.what I need is perfect practice not practice till I'm perfect...and a lot more and I really hope I could ..no I will improve
"This doesn't mean that you just sit there and scribble with your little baby crayon all day" I died 😂
One thing that has really helped me was creating an environment just for failure. More specifically I've found it helpful to open up separate "scrap" documents where I generate ideas, whether it be for a client or myself, and with full understanding that anything done in that workspace can be thrown away. Prepping your mindset appropriately before work in this sense is important, I believe. It's like how when people buy these expensive sketch books that look real fancy and nice you can't help but to put huge expectations on yourself to do ONLY good work within the confines of a book like that. it's really important to be able to distinguish between areas where failure is more acceptable than others because if there is any place you don't want to fail it is for a client. Haha. I can assure anyone that when money is on the line, and it is your job to do well, any risk taken is well calculated. So when taking failure regarding professional work into consideration, understand that people aren't doing so throwing all caution to the wind. The risks you take that trend towards utter failure are proportional to your skill set and ability.

That's an important distinction, when my man talks about failing with clients he means taking risks not literally failing because if he failed he would probs be out of a job 😂 I think that's the kind of failure people are scared of the one that costs a lot
Hands down my favorite channel on youtube right now. I hope he keeps making his last video
I really appreciate that. Wish I could have that years ago. Sadly I was raised in that mentality you just mentioned and it's frigging difficult to step out of myself, like seeing third person, seeing what can improve and acting accordingly because that unconscious fear back in the head. Your talks makes see and acknowledge i'm a baby, seeing myself in the mirror as a baby and willing to learn step by step instead o rushing to get things done in hope to catch up for something I don´t even know what is. Glad I can learn from you
Thank you for expanding on this mindset. I felt the same when watching that video. Another quote I love is from one of Tom bilyeu videos: " I win or I learn but I never lose" t's great that your uploading more regularly dude. I've been drawing a lot more
I am actually very new to this channel and got recommended it since I watch a lot of animation and art-related videos. So happy I stumbled upon this, I really needed to hear all of this. For me, I suffer from Chronic Migraines, Depression, PTSD, and Anxiety. They all affect my work flow and on what I want to proceed to get done. Especially my migraines. I also nitpick at myself with, "Oh... you could do better than that." "This is way too ugly, might as well give up." "You're too ill to work, just stop." Definitely am the type of person that goes to different projects and works on them bit by bit. Sometimes I even feel like my illnesses are taken for granted, because every day I suffer and it feels like no one understands me. I mean, realistically no one can, but y'know... sometimes I feel invalidated with on how much I put into my work is all. I really like the idea of seeing my failures in a more positive light, because it is like I am accepting humility for myself and a willingness to keep moving forward that could be seen as inspirational to others and this advice has certainly helped me a bit. Life I know for me, personally, is so hard and I tend to fall victim to the failure mindset so easily when I know that won't benefit me now nor for my future. Regardless of my hardships, I need to keep trying to move forward with all of my projects and work little by little. Thanks again for this video and the best advice and best of luck to your in your further art and KZread channel career. 💜✨

Dude i came here to learn. And i got therapy dang. This vid help me a lot to understand fear of failing can't help you to finish your work but it hold you down. Stop being a baby thanks man.
as a person who comes from a typical asian family, being compared, looked down, taking away dignity, all of that as early as a child...Man its tough, hard and frustrating most of the time. Thats why it took me 2 years (specifically) to change my mind set. Its easy for people to say "your surroundings doesnt matter, you have a choice to choose"... well yeah you interact with those negativity's everyday, the hard part is they're your family. Its hard to stay positive in an environment like that hehe.
I've been struggling with this for as long as I can remember. I'm 25 and it's practically haulted my progress. But a huge part of my issue is this skewed perception that if people don't approve of my work, they don't approve of ME as a person and that somehow I don't deserve their respect. I experience some extreme emotional responses because of it (called Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria) and I just hope that I can overcome such feelings and pursue the career I want without my emotions jeopardizing me too much.
I am a little baby, thank you for giving me this motivational lecture!
Words can hold a lot of power on us. "Failure" has such a negative connotation, for some, it would be best to replace it with another word that isn't so negatively charged. I like to replace Failure with Attempts. You didn't fail, you made an attempt. You keep attempting different options and methods until it clicks and works.
True, I remember so much when I was young my dad beat me up cuz I don't understand multiplication. That fear still strike me when I'm doing something important.
I cannot express how much your channel helped me with my own art. All of the advice you give is barely 30% art advice and 70% mindset advice and the thing is that with the right mindset you don't need tips on how to draw every single thing, you just know how to look at it and break it into something you can digest and replicate. I've been telling everyone around me to binge your whole channel for 3 years now and boy am I not going to stop anytime soon. You're incredibly wise Ethan thank you for sharing that wisdom for free :)
All I wanted to be growing up was an artist. Went to college for art and everyone told me I was stupid. I took my love of art and started studying anatomy and became a personal trainer because it was a “real” job. Covid happened and I lost my job. Could only be a pizza delivery boy at 30 years old because gyms aren’t hiring. I’m tired of living for a “real” job that has just as little security as art. On the bright side I know a lot about anatomy now.
“Sometimes, it’s better to act without thinking than to think without acting.”
This channel has literally change how I view practicing art completely. I feel like I finally know why I wasn’t improving or seeing results. Thank you so much Ethan! You’ve helped me a lot :)
I recently discovered Ethan's channel, and I immediately acquired respect for him. His advice isn't limited to art -- it's applicable to anything in life. And as someone who number crunches during the day and draws as a hobby, it's oddly comforting to know that everyone faces the same things.
A negative mindset stunted the shit out of me. I've been drawing for around 20 years and all of my art still looks like I'm 14 years old. Fixing failures end up making me spend weeks on a colored doodle. At this point ive just spend the last 5 years drawing over Loomis stuff and asking artists what's wrong with it. No improvement yet but...it'll happen...eventually right?

Oooh failure! As the good all spoiled baby I am, I'm in a path to accept failure. I wasn't raised by parents telling me "failure is bad" or "you need help to succeed" or whatever. The thing is I had very supportive parents and all. But I've never faced failure until 3 years ago. I was 20!! My all life I've succeeded like everything. I was very good at school without trying, good enough at sports, a good friend, a good daughter and everything. And everyone was celebrate me for that. I was the gifted, fabulous chil! So, until I was 20 I've never experienced real failure, a true feeling of failure. And then and the beginning of my college years, I started to fail. I was so unhappy with what I was doing I couldn't do it anymore. So I dropped college and It was the first time I failed, I felt like a failure. And it was HARD! Like it may sound stupid for somebody in its twenties, but dealing with failure is something most people learn to do their whole life (either fail bad or fail good ahah) . But I never did, I was a baby of failing and it felt horrible!!! 3 years later, I'm now in my way to become and illustrator and (hopefully) a concept artist and I understand why I failed college, it was just not my way. I was good at studying, but that was not my way (sorry not sorry school) My way was art. AND I'M FAILING SO HARD SO OFTEN 😂😂😂 But I feel great making art, and it is sometime hard to deal with failure, I feel overwhelmed and sometimes I want to drop and quit. But I love making art too much, I can't just quit, I always go back at it. And you Ethan, you are here teaching me how to fail better and it feels so right and so odd at the same time! But I want to learn to fail better in order to become the artist I want to be! So thank you Ethan!!! You are a great artist to look up to 😊
Coming from an abusive household, you talking about how the associations with failure and how the mindset is taught into you was all too real for me... thank you for this video. Single handedly changed my mindset.
This is pretty relevant to me. It's frustrating...Thank you. Glad to find your channel.
I wrote down everything you said and I will read through it everyday until I think that way! Hesitation held me down but now I'm glad I had experienced it so that I can understand how boring and meaningless my life was during that time, and how awful and empty it felt inside. Now I have been back to drawing for a month now and it couldn't get any more perfect that I found your channel at this time! Really great advices!! Thanks a lot
This is literally the first channel I've ever bothered to touch the bell-thing for. Keep up the great videos!
this hits close to home in a concept artist, you create multiple failed attempts at a character design to make it out with one acceptable design
I found that the best way to get better is to challenge yourself. Doing pieces you know you wont be able to tackle at first, like really complex ones, are the best way to really put into perspective in what areas you are failing and in which ones you are good
Solid advice, for some reason, I'm always extremely motivated to start my creative process after watching one of you videos. Excited to fail!
OMG, this is so lifting!, I've been feeling down about my failure not only on starting drawing but also on life, and 7 days ago my father had died, but then I just found this on your channel, even though I've been following you for a year ago. But I just now noticed this You've opened my baby eyes to a problem I've had, not just about drawing but also my life, truly thank you.
I love you and your channel. Can't get enough of you.
I think this is it. This is how you stay motivated.
OMG! you're such a treasure!!!! Literally in every sense of the word! Each word coming out of your mouth is describing my entire life word for word and how i f**ked up big time. I am 32 right now and am a glorious failure at failing with everything in my life falling apart way beyond just my art and art career at this point. But im really glad i found this channel and an *honest, honest* person in you. *ABSOLUTELY love you and your content!* *Psyched to be a subscriber!!*
It’s a matter of fixed mindset vs. growth mindset! Really love your message!
Super helpful stuff, I'm really appreciating all your videos a lot. Even my therapist has no idea of how to help me out of the paralyzing fear of failure i currently have about art. I think it might be hard for non artists to understand what the actual problem is, so i'm really glad youre sharing this kinda stuff with us. It's not new to hear that people should expect to fail, but something about how you are describing the solution helps me internalize the actual solution more. Appreciated, dude
Oh wow I definitely needed this. Nice tips btw owo
I'm going to watch this every day until I internalize it.
Your whole channel is the art pep-talk I desperately needed.
just seen this lil gem and this will be a saved vid for me. negative mindset is like second nature to me but this video makes sense. thinking "im gunna fail so why try in the first place" has stunted so many aspects of my born life, so hearing this kind of video is hard to process, but makes sense. ill probably end up watching this same video (and the linked video) a few times over for a good while, thank you man!
Honestly you're so right, I've held myself back for years and couldn't figure out why the fuck I had such a negative relationship with my art. Recently I kind of correlated it to how I used motivation, building yourself up vs guilting and shitting on yourself. But the guilt and shame honestly is just the symptom of being afraid of failure. So thanks for helpin' me see the full picture. Can't wait to see more from ya.

Ethan, you somehow pull off being hilarious, honest, and uplighting at the same time. Thank you.

This is very true, you do need to fix your mindset! But I also feel like there's a bitmore thats needed to become ok with failing and usng it as a tool to help you grow and get better faster. Outside of that this is a very dope video!!!!
I had a recent experience of failure that helped me and figured this was a relevant enough thing to share. Wanted to get into carving and relief art, started with an X-acto blade as my tool and an eraser as my canvas to figure out the basics, cheap easy way to start. fucked up a few erasers trying to get the right look for it and learned the blade was great for getting straight lines and V shaped valleys but not much else, got Lino cutting tools and tried those and slowly got my confident in my ability to make shapes and structures consistently. Ended up getting a block of lino for printmaking and did a drawing I really wanted to carve from day 1 of doing the work, drew it on and carved it out and it turned out perfect! I went through 2 weeks and 30 erasers worth of failure, testing and inconsistency before I finally got what I wanted out of it. it really brought me back to a headspace where I felt happy with my work and it was a great reminder of how failure and patience are key in art
this is some solid advice not just for art but i think for many other things as well. this mindset is what helped me get better grades in Japanese. instead of focusing 100% on just learning the concepts and getting it right, i would submit practice sheets to my teacher where i would purposely create sentences with several grammar structures in one sentence but wasn't sure if they could go together, so he would correct them and essentially teach me more about how certain structure is used that he wouldn't go over in class. never would have thought about this idea if i hadn't seen this video back then

This video helped me a lot. thanks!!

ethan dude you are like an art dad i didnt know i had and needed but im glad i do now
Good God. You just highlighted everything Ive been trying to figure out in my own brain for years.
It's sad how I was like that, asking my teachers to explain the things that I didn't understand and asking how I could improve (if I made a mistake that I didn't understand), but my teachers had the attitude of "why do you even bother, it's good enough as you did it, you worry too much". (It felt even worse when I knew that I wasn't good enough but people told me that what I did was good enough.) It was tiring trying to squeeze info out of my teachers so I stopped but I'm gonna start doing it again thanks to this video!
Basically what he's saying is: Practice. Practice what u don't like and what u like. if u fail at watercolors when trying, get to know why you failed, try again, and again. You'll see improvment a lot faster than u think. I saw this while doing inktober and forced myself to drawing things that I don't usually do. I failed at some (drawing sceneres isn't my strong point). But after understanding where I failed I could correct it do a better scenery.
