Maybe you could just draw whatever you see. Like Tiffany said, she draws whatever she wants to. Art is art no matter what it is. Art is personal to you ya know? Hope this helps! 💖😊

i LOVE that you just went out and got the basic supplies to try out jewelry making. the rings you designed and carved turned out so well! also, as a person who is nearly 40, let me assure you that it seems like we’ll NEVER be too old to take creative risks

Just a quick note on the age thing: I remember being your age (says the ancient swamp hag, apparently), and feeling that same resistance to doing new things in case I was doing them "wrong" or taking too many risks. I'd love to say I found a way to make that nagging fear shut up and go sit in a corner while I did all the things, but sadly, I did not, and I let it keep me from doing a lot of things that might have been really good for me, or really fun, at least. The good news is that once you get to be right around fifty...those fears seem to light themselves on fire and disappear like the mirages they are. I've talked to so many creative women of a certain age (ahem...mine), and almost universally, everyone says that there's a point where we just stop caring about the unimportant nonsense. We don't care if it's a risk, and we know that we'll regret the things we didn't do more than the things we did. We don't care what other people might think; we're not doing it for them anyway. We're not worried about wasting time or materials, because we've seen over and over again that even the failed experiments give us new ways of thinking or new things we've learned along the way. It doesn't help you much NOW, obviously, but when those thoughts hit you, I hope you'll remember that one day, when you're a crotchety old fart like us, all those things that you feel are holding you back are going to go the way of the dodo. Hopefully, even if they're too big to overcome right now, you'll know there really is a light at the end of the tunnel, so just keep going. :)

You’re such an inspiration to me. I’m 34 and have often began to feel like, “I’m too old to be drawing such-and-such…” My step son and my daughter are a huge inspiration to me. Both creative and both gamers. I have recently been able to tap into my inner child again and have been drawing all of the first gen Pokémon again and I’m loving it. It’s inspiring my kids to be creative as well. They get bummed about not being “as good as me,” but I told them that it took me 20+ years of practice to get to where I’m at. To keep going. Do 👏🏻 not 👏🏻 stop 👏🏻 And it is a reminder for me as well. Major kudos to my new husband as well for being so supportive of my art and creativity. We turned our massive walk in closet into a duel art studio and music studio AND library/reading room. It is amazing and I am so so thankful for his care and support. You are so so right in having a perspective shift about “being thankful for being able to have bad days,” or something in that vein. What a bumbling point of view. I’m so thankful for the algorithm (for once) for recommending your channel to me 🙏🏻 Also. I love your back-to-front art style. I want to give that a try. Colors down first and then added detail with a liner ink pen. ♥️ (Didn’t check for typos because my text screen was jumping around all weird. My apologies if something is weird or wonky in spelling or grammar 😅) Edit: I also watch Gordon Ramsays shows while I art lol That’s so funny and awesome 😄

this series has been so comforting as an artist post grad… makes me feel not alone in the burnout and that inspiration will always come back

THE WAY THE CHIPMUNK GOT SO FLAT LIKE A RUG

Hey girl! I live in Vegas too and I’ve been silversmithing out of my apartment here for a few years now. I took a 2 day class at the Bead Jungle taught by a guy who travels through occasionally (I believe his name is Dave Smith🤔) and he teaches you how to make a silver and stone bezel set pendant. That’s how I started out! 🤗❤

Such a calming and inspiring videos! This Artist's Way series helped me find you lovely channel! While, I am not an artist this series is inspiring joy for creativity even if it is just coloring! Morgan Harper Nichols has a quote that says "may you encounter sunrises that sing to you it is not too late for you." So this series is motivating me for goal setting! For example, I could do a 30 day walk challenge including outdoor walks and KZread walking workouts like Grow With Jo. I have been watching different planner and goals videos here on KZread like Mariane Cresp video about her well-being planner ,Tiffany Shelton 12 week Year goal planning videos, JashiiCorrin mental health journal videos with ideas like self-care bingo, and Helen from the channel TheCoffeeMonsterzCO journal and planner videos! Kennedy from the channel Cozy K has cozy hobbies to try videos that would be nice for self-care!

I love this series so much! Thanks for being so willing to put yourself out here. Keep being brave!!!

This rang to true! Thank you so much for sharing and taking us with you!

this was such a sweet video and i love all the little revelations you had throughout the month that seem simple yet actually mean so much and have the power to shift our perspectives!

really loved the art you created this month - and other months

I'm no artist but I enjoy these videos of yours so much! Thank you for making them!

Love this series! Good inspiration ❤

I love all the art you've made in this! 💜 I've had this book for a while, but kept putting it off until I saw some of your videos about your experience with it. I'm glad it seems to be helpful to you so far! I'm hoping it'll help me find my creativity again too.

Seriously, theses last videos are perfect. So inspiring. And I love seeing your evolution too. Great idea and thanks for sharing this !!! The most important

I always watch your videos every morning. When you drawings makes me relax🥰

I love your thoughts on having a bad day. Also you’re awesome. 😊

You’re art is so cute! This video is so encouraging to try setting art goals. I’m hoping to try The Artist’s Way myself!

I love it when you drew hooman!! 🩵

I loved this especially your openness and vulnerability with things

love this series! always looking forward to the next part ❤ it's been really inspiring

I’m in the first week of the artists way, inspired by your video series. It’s already made me feel so inspired to paint already, so I’m extremely grateful. I love this series, and your work! I’m so excited to see what you’re doing next!

It's so nice seeing you so happy in yourself. This series is very helpful and inspiring. Also I love your creamic doggo spread and the bow ring design. All the best. x

Thank you for sharing this! Very coyz and inspiring video as always

I have loved this series so so much!! I tried to do the Artist’s Way during the pandemic but because it was soo early in the pandemic - I wasn’t able to really do any of the more fun activities. You’ve totally inspired me to give it another try!! ❤

It's been so lovely watching you work through The Artist's Way. Your shifting relationship with your art really comes through in these videos. I've only heard of the book, but watching your videos has made me want to check it out. Can't wait to see more! 💕

This is such a good episode, it is my second time watching it, so many insights 🙌 Thank you for sharing your process!

Oh man, it is so nice to see fellow artists from Vegas on here! You’re the first vlogger I’ve seen so far. Anyway, thank you very much for sharing your journey with us! It’s giving me motivation to get out of the Summerlin area and adventure more (I fear the parking in the art’s district lol) I’ve been struggling quite a bit lately and just ordered the book to give it a shot. Plus need to stop treating my art supplies like they’re precious… Thank you again for sharing! Your art and sketches are super cute and uplifting, by the way!

I have come full circle! First time commenting, but this was the first video of yours that I watched when I discovered your work months ago, and it's the one that made me go back and watch your vlogs from the start. It's so funny to see how differently I perceive it now that I have more context but at the same time how nostalgic and lovely it is to catch up to it. This entire series about The Artist Way is so inspiring to me. I have been watching them very slowly to let everything sink in and allow myself to think about all the beautiful messages you're sharing as you went through these steps. Some day I'll do this book on my own as well, you have definitely inspired me to ❤ Thank you for being you, and for creating, and thank you for all that you do!

Aww Tiffanyyyyy, I love hearing your dreams for the future ❤ I’ll rewatch this video in the future and be like, SHE MADE THE DREAMS COME TRUEEE🙈🥹💖 💖 💖

I’m currently waiting on my copy of the artists way to arrive, and this just made me even more excited for the continuation of my own art journey :))

I could relate to so many things you said here.. Also it was so pleasing to watch you explore your surroundings and take us with you on your like "artsy" trips.. I'm looking forward to your next vlog!

I’m on week one I can’t decide if I like knowing what’s coming orrr not as I quite like surprises but I also love these videos! Super motivating to stick with it. I was watching tofu goob and she mentioned the book I then looked it up couldn’t decide whether or not to get it and then I came across your video talking about the same thing so had to it felt like a sign (even though I know technology just listens to you) but yeah I just got the kindle version and so far I’m enjoying it and already finding the root of my creative block (or at least part of it) it’s a wonderful realisation and I’m so excited to get to that point where sitting to draw or create just comes naturally. I really miss that part of myself. Really happy for you and that this journey is working for you! Looking forward to watching more of your videos and working along side you💚💚 sending lots of love and inspiration your way ✨✨✨💚💚

It’s very inspiring to watch your videos. Keep up the good 😊

All your art is so nice :) really liked the dogs at the end

Hi Tiffany, I really liked the video! I'm also in a situation where I am in fear of trying (not on art tho), so I found the video to be really relatable and insipring. I really like drawing and creating, so I can imagine one day I might experience art block and feeling drained of creative energy, so this video may come in handy by then. So happy that you're getting back on track of creating! Wish you the best of luck and hope that I can overcome my anxieties in life as well

This video was amazing so wholesome ❤❤❤❤❤

Have been feeling very 'stuck' artistically- this video was nice.

I LOVE THIS SO MUCH!! I cried a little bit since you're so passionate about the things you want to do and I'm wishing I could be the same too. I've been procrastinating about the things I want to do since my perfectionism gets the best of me. Definitely reading and taking notes from the book. And also thanking you for making a series like this.

I'm not sure how to phrase this and I hope it comes across correctly, but I've been following your channel for ages now and I feel like I can see such a big shift happening in you and your art lately, and it's really exciting to see! I love the direction your art is taking, and the dedication to completing the artist's way, but it's also in your style and manner. I know we only see a small portion of your life, but you seem so much more confident and assertive in the bits we do get to see! It's all been very inspiring for me and I hope you continue to feel the healing happening

Ooo, I’m excited for your travels! I always love Italy, but I’m going to Taiwan for the first time next year, so can’t wait to see it through an artist’s lens. My husband has been many times, but for boring high tech business trips.

I love your videos! You are so inspiring and you make me want to create art, thank you for sharing your journey

I can’t express how much I appreciate this series, the process that this book put you through to show up for yourself and keep up better habits for your creative mind and while my creative self is still healing I’ve been able to establish a healthy way to manage my mental health and relationship with myself and other people as well as my creativity. Your videos as well are just so cozy and have brought me so much comfort and have helped guide me through creative blocks and burnout. 💚💚💚💚✨✨✨

This was great, I have fallen out of habit of drawing and painting and need to get back into it. I really liked your art, especially the spread with the animals and the trees. I used to do metalwork in art school and I miss it. I did casting and made things including rings, as well as fabrication with sheets of metal. Some help- there's softer waxes out there that artists use to sculpt detailed things on top of the blue hard wax (the stuff I used was reddish pink or black in color), I think that will help you get more of the detail you're after. Take care ❤

If you ever want to get magazines for cheap for collages check your library and see if they are selling or throwing out their old magazines. This vlog inspired me to do the artists way to get me back into writing. Which i havent done in over 10 years because of fear. 😅❤

Such a coincidence ! I also haven't gone back since the pandemic started, the last time i went was maybe a year before !

These series are really great. I was wondering if you might try using a heat tool for carving your wax creations? It's really fantastic that you are trying different experiments and exploring your curiosity about jewelrymaking. I did notice that the work you did with markers reminded me of Leigh's work. The difference though is you did the color first, where she would do the linework first. I hope I am not being disparaging to say the work reminds me of Leigh's. She does draw a lot of vintage ceramic pieces. I did enjoy your portraits very much. You have so much control in hand-eye coordination. You don't even lay down a sketch in pencil. I've always admired that about your skill. When you say you want to make art, what do you want to communicate to the world? What themes are important to you *politically*. There is a marked distinction between making art and doing illustration. I feel illustration tends to be more surface and less of a message, or if there is a message, it is topical, like something you would see next to a NYT article. The work serves a specific function to illustrate the topic of the article, or the story in a book. Art on the other hand, communicates on its own and is not depending on the written word to say what it has to say. Art creates a viewer. I personally feel art is more about the human condition, it's more epic and speaks to people across cultures and across time and space. In the scope an artist's work these themes are explored deeply by the artist over time. I don't see these kinds of themes in your work. If you want to do art, then consider what you feel needs to be said, what you feel you have the right to say without censoring yourself. And then in which medium is the best to say it. A suggestion would be to start looking at established artists that you admire. Start going to galleries and seeking out art magazines like Art In America. Try to see what the discussion is and if it resonates at all with you. For example, Sandi Hester (her YT channel is Bits of an Artist's Life) paints the world around her, but her work is not illustration. She is a painter and she is exploring themes that are prosaic. It may not seem political, but it is, because that is what she chooses to paint about and she is exploring these themes deeply over time. The Dutch painters in the 1600s painted women reading letters, which is also prosaic. Consider how Sandi paints, she is capable of drawing very tightly, but she chooses instead to paint loose. That's a part of her "art-politics" message. Anyway, I hope this is a constructive contribution toward your endeavors. Bravo to you Tiffany for your determined efforts to develop and grow. ❤

It was Such an amazing Video I just finished Watching It On My TV... I'm Obsessed *one advice I want to give you Is , You can change The Font Of The Lettering In Your Thumbnail..The Fonts You Use In Your Video would Look Much better than the font used in the Thumbnail*

Creating without pressure or expectations is just the best. I also started selling my stuff last year and immediately I felt all the pressure. But in March I went to a weekend long pottery course just because I wanted to. I hadn't done pottery in like 5 years (since school) and obviously I didn't create anything mind blowing or "pretty enough to sell". But oh, man, just being able to free that side of myself and create small cups just for the joy of being able to say "Look! I made a cup! I painted it apple green, where should we put it? What should we use this for?" was like a treat to my inner child. Just creating that safe space for that little child to feel the joy of creation and, by joining them, protect them from the shame I might've also felt when I was like 6 years old and creating. Honestly, please just go to a random course because you want to tap into that craft.- Heal yourself. Remember you're an adult and you can spend money on the joy of creation - instead of "spending money in the materials to create a piece that will be useful to me in some way". (That's just kinda boring. Have fun instead!!)
