I would add another point that really works for me 11) FINISH YOUR ART PIECES: don't abandon your projects or work forever on a single one, give them some form of closure, and be consistent, finish your current project before starting another one. If you feel you have a lot of ideas, tackle them one by one, if you are working on a project and you think you have the best idea ever, just make a quick sketch and notes, then return and finish your current project. This forces you to go through all stages of the process. Think about music, if you learn only the intros of songs or the solos you're missing everything else, and play a complete song is as satisfying as finishing an art piece.

I can confirm that having a project rather than a single piece is the best way to produce art. I spent a year trying to find inspiration for personal work and I came up with nothing but then I decided to take on an entire project with about 12 different pieces and once I committed to that the inspiration just flooded in. Artists need direction. Ideas don't just appear out of thin air. We need structure and a idea to work off of.

So then I was like, what if I use the archetypes from tarot cards and try to draw the characters as those archetypes? And then I got super into it. Maybe start with a subject that inspires you and then come up with a format that gives you the structure you need to stay motivated.

Auch, the last incomplete thing really hurt me, but most importantly, im feeling really inspired about the rest of the video

Also something i struggled with in the past was when i saw artists my age making better art then me and me thinking i am not good enough Everyone starts art at a different age and its different for everyone the progress If you practiced everyday and didn't get much improvement dont be discouraged and try to point out what you dont like and go from there

Dunning -Kruger effect was like a slap to the face. I thought my figure drawing was good until I joined a class that made us work on dynamic poses with limited time.

I stopped drawing altogether, so I started wondering what happened? how did I go from always drawing even though it wasn't that good to drawing better art without any passion? or just feeling like I'm forcing myself to draw for the sake of it. I feel like my art now, even though it's better than before is very stagnant, and I definitely have been ignoring a lot of things that make me a better artist. This video was a refreshing reminder of what I should have been doing :))

It took me a while to learn that just because you draw something you consider bad, doesn’t mean you’re a bad artist.

I learned that Instead of telling myself that I'll never be as good as a certain artist, I need to start telling myself that someday, I'll be as just as good as that certain artist.

I think the self-awareness is an interesting point. I started drawing more often 1-2 years ago and i know i lack confidence. So before every artistic project i have to get my "If it goes wrong, then i'll learn from it"-mindset. Sometimes it takes weeks of thinking before i even start a drawing, but when i finish it i am actually surprised. My skills aren't as bad as i thought. So I keep trying to improve and the thought that i always might just underestimate myself helps me.

this single video alone has changed my overall mindset, thank you.

This was such an inspiring video. I've been trying to pick up 3D modelling for a while now. I've done a few beginner's courses, as well as made a few simple objects based on references, but, like you said, I find myself getting discouraged by learning new things that open the floodgates to even more things I still need to learn. I haven't opened blender in a few months now because I was getting so discouraged by the massive gap between where I wanted to be, and where I am. Your comments about having the right mindset, self-awareness, and keeping expectations in check are exactly what I needed to hear. I'm going to open blender again tomorrow with a fresh mindset. Thank you, really.

I watched this video a while ago but wanted to say the advice about having a project to focus on has been very helpful. i started learning how to draw last summer and have been doing comparison pieces using one of my dnd characters every 2-3 months and while there are some pieces that look fairly close or like i haven't improved since the last one, the difference between the first one at 3 months and the one i did at the start of this is measurable and im pretty happy with my progress after 1 year

I just found your channel recently and it feels like i have the door of my dreams right in the front of my forhead. Since I was little I want to draw portraits and character design for videogames, and im everyday trying to improve, change my techniques, my art style, i'm never in my confort zone. Sometimes I wonder when I will reach that thing that thing that I dream so much. But well, all I can do now is still imroving, get better and just dont stop dreaming and finding artists like you. You inspire me a lot, really :').

Hey Marc, you're the talented artist I'm looking up to since I started drawing. You're actually the reason why I started digital art at all! Have you ever thought about creating a discord server ? I find it hard to get good critique on platforms like instagram or twitter, the best way to recieve critique for me have been discord servers :)

Truly a good listen. The idea about competition resonated with me hard. My 12 year old nephew always wants to collaborate on an idea or see who can draw something better and I realize now how much wonders it’s doing for him.

Ah good timing for KZread recommendations since lately I'm on my "re-emergence phase" was on a "drawing break" or hiatus for a while just been a sporadic drawer drawing like once every 3 months or so but now ever since last month and even February I've been starting to draw again more a and more and I can see myself improving even from that time and even redrawing my old artworks. Watching this video made me realize that I already knew how to grow and have always followed all these points but it was always subconsciously and watching this video made me fully aware that I've always been teaching myself all throughout the years.

Free tutorials and advice like is a big help to guys like me who can't do a full time art course.

This is great! thanks for sharing Marc :)

Thank you so much!!! I’ll definitely use these tips!💖

Thanks Marc ! This is a good reminder :D

I absolutely feel your advice of ignoring social media fame Marc, it's easier said than done tho. Followers are really just a numbers but every time the follower count goes down and/or they don't interact that much with you anymore you can't help but feel anxious, thinking you must've posted something boring or offensive or anything. So you'll start to draw to pander people and not for your own sake of improving, which absolute sucks

Awesome job. Thank u for your dedication

Last year I started on the academic bachelor of Illustration and so far, it's been the most frustrating year of my life. If only they told us what's in this video, it has been so useful to me... Thank you so much!

One thing I recently learned and started to use maybe a week or so ago that I wish I knew earlier: If you feel like you can’t draw every single day, which is understandable, have a paper/sketchbook where you draw at least one thing every day. I like to draw just a simple face, maybe at some angle, but just something. It doesn’t even have to be anything specific: maybe just some doodle, weird pattern, it’s up to you! This helps me keep up the motivation to draw

At this point I occasionally rewatch this video to keep miself motivated and continue on. I sometimes HAVE to take breaks weeks long cause 40h of work per week and University takes priority BUT this pulls me back every time. Following your advice and sticking to one "mentoring" voice exclusively really worked for me

Great video Mark! You are the best!

hey man, thanks for the good videos, you motivated me to start doing caracter art, i was already pretty proficient at vector art, but caracter art was my first passion and what got me into drawing as a kid, got myself a drawing tablet and i will give it a shot, keep it up, your vids are very instructive and you answered a lot of question i had on how and where to start! love from canada

Love your videos, watching has given me a new lease on life, given I burnt out and stopped drawing for a while, watching you just got me back Into it, Funny how you impaticular have helped me get out of my rut though as I stick mainly to traditional art,

I kinda slowed down drawing the last few months. I maybe did one illustration a week, if I was lucky (it mostly was just sketchy stuff in the end). I feel really stuck and like im not improving at all. Thanks to this video I think i can get back into the grind and finally improve a little. Thank you~

indeed it is a golden tip, especially the one about " if your last year art sucks compared to what you can do now, you are doing fantastic" that really gave me a confidence boost, my skills over time in 1 year basically skyrocketed a bit as i did a leap towards the better by using just 2 arts for referance that learnt me about the importance of curves and stuff, referance really helps, thank you marc, you are awsome

Amazing tips and cannot wait to follow your tutorials so I can get better at drawing again! I started studying 3D animation & visualisation and the course completely burned me out which led me to dislike creating art myself and stopped drawing completely. Recently started wanting to create again and it is frustrating because as you said if you don't practice you lose all your gains so it is tough to draw, especially if it's worse looking than when I was a teenager. But thanks to amazing KZreadrs as yourself I am hopeful that I will regain my skills and improve from then on :)
