So SO inspiring.

you know for real that this is utterly bullshit? we can make poems and happy quotes for ever about getting there but in the real world artists and super talented ones struggling to find a job and its been years. I don't represent all of them but also I know many many artists who plus talent are pouring hours and hours of hard work in every aspect but still no hiring.

Can't really get there if you work a lot but have almost no talent - it ain't easy. But she's right it's the long hours sometimes. Other times it's pure talent - i've seen it happen live. Sometimes it's just showing up, and often most importantly building friendly relationships with some clients. I say stop telling your family members or friends that their work is ''omg it's awesome!!'' when it's not. It's ok to be honest sometimes and still encourage people. There's a crazy common habit these days of social media just never wanting to say the truth if it's not positive. And yea i know, my work 'sucks hahaa

Well, it's more accurate to say that if you don't work, you're 100% sure not to get anywhere. But you can work as much as you want, and have talent, it won't matter if you can't live from it. And that's the reality : there are gems and geniuses out there, that will die unknown. Otherwise there would be much mort artists, if you consider we are 7+billions people.

@@thoughts2536 That's not her point. She's saying that many very talented artists assume they will find a career and success simply because they are talented. The reality is, the world is FILLED with talented people in every field. Having talent is not the same as having a disciplined work ethic or dogged persistence. The ones who do manage to establish careers in their fields are those who apply themselves to working all the time and who keep trying to get work, even in the face of difficulty. She doesn't say a successful career will be guaranteed or automatic to anyone, but that an artist who wants and hopes to have a successful career must be persistent and work hard to create even the possibility of a viable career.

The black and white drawings are really great, but man, the coloring really just makes it all fantastic.

i prefer it before the coloring

She has made some excellent comic books as well. I highly recommend A Tear in the Ocean.

I remember writing an entire paper on the symbolism of Godzilla and what he represents. A very interesting creature movie. Godzilla was a huge part of my childhood as well

Really Nice. Yuko Shimizu is such a nice person. Now I admire even more her work. Hope you guys bring these more oftern. The art of teh Criterion is just one of my favorite things, both as an artis and a movie buff.

Never heard of her, but love her work.

She has such a nice energy and she’s a great artist, the reworked criterion covers are even more of a justification to buy the films!

Lovely. Studio visit videos are fantastic. I love seeing the artistry and effort that goes into the art. It's very appreciated.

I love these studio visits! So inspiring!

These studio visit videos are amazing!! Thanks Criterion!!

This is what talent and great effort looks like, such an inspirational artist.

Absolutely in love with her art and this collection! Excellent work!

I can't wait to pick up the Godzilla box set. It looks so gorgeous and will go with my collection nicely. Great job Criterion!

I think this might be my favorite channel, thank you

I really love her drawings

Awesome Yuko, I love your work.

Beautiful work!

An absolute gem of an artist!

Awesome artwork thank you for sharing

I love the image of Godzilla entering the sea. I've been using it as my phone background since the collection was announced.

Such a nice lady and her work is beautiful.

Fantastic work

Thank you for making this wonderful art. Got my Godzilla set right here and I love it mostly for the art work

Descubrí su arte hace muy poco tiempo y fue amor a primera vista, además me gusta que comparta sus procesos creativos ella parece ser una persona muy transparente y generosa

Awesome style. I wish we could’ve seen more. Especially of her drawing godzilla.

"EMOTIONAL CHAOS" This artist is awesome. PLEASE, PLEASE Criterion sell these as posters!! Why have I only discovered these videos now?

So inspiring! True Artist spirit

i love the black & white illustrations! 💗 amazing use of negative & positive space. ✨

She’s one of my favorite artists!! I try to learn a lot from her process for my own art. This was a great peek into her studio and I was sad it was so short. But I want to watch the original Godzilla now haha

This makes me want the boxset even more

I love this !

Excellent artist. Love Yuko.

I've always loved Godzilla i grew up watching the old ones on channel 5 in L.A.!!! I have the box set!!! Great illustrations Yuko!!! I am an artist also.

Awesome, thanks, palm 🌴springs, calif.

My set arrives tomorrow! So pumped. Also, I legit would love to hang out with this woman - she seems chill and fun.

The flatness of your work is reminiscent of Japanese prints. Interesting approach. Thanks for sharing.

Amazing talent!

Thank you!

Whoa that was Cool !

I like her use of perspective. Neat style

Love it!!!!!

I really like her style!

Great artist.❤👍

😲😲Great work👍💟

Amazing..

Yeesh. So bloody talented.

Love this

incredible

a total sensei, I see how her pieces for this Godzilla project look close to the black and white movie, having a lot of dark in on each illustration, and also her style is totally Japanese in the sense of how I recall the wave styles, lastly some compositions remind me a lot of manga

Wonderful video

Amazing GoodZilla!

Amazing drawings ❤️

awesome

Wow.. so cool!

Wow New artist here thank you so much for your video and inspiration!!!! 💗💗💗btw I call my kitty Godzilla for she is always nipping me for her food😻😻😻

You are so soft and stylish. While watching the video, the fingertips are like a living magic hand. Very nice draw a sketch

素晴らしいデザイン。素晴らしすぎる。

brilliance

love!

Wow. Beautiful work and the feel of texture.💗 Luv the paint brush u using. Where can I purchase that paint brush?

What a nice lady. Full of common sense.🎨👌🏼😊

More! More art!

Very cool😀

Grande Yuko!

The pictures are good.

I know its not the right place to say, but please, please, please: brings Chriterion Channel in Europe! A LOT of people in love for cinema is waiting for this!

I love your Godzilla ❤️

Awesome

Wow, love your work, how do you recolour the art work as it’s all black and white? Thanks 😊

I want that "destroying the city" and "leaving the city" Godzilla poster.

I'm here after getting my Godzilla Criterion Collection

Nice

❤️❤️❤️❤️

Unreal

What!? Yuko is pretty active on Facebook, I'm surprise she didn't share this...or did I miss it.

Inspired by both the crane and the sky!

First time saw her artwork from babyboss magz

Wow

omg I follow her on facebook!

Sometimes artists like Yuko don't realize just how talented they are , sort of. It's definitely the work hours, but she might take her wonderful talent for granted . There's a lot of untalented people too - no offense. Some people are just gifted.

On art use rect lines to up the perspective

LOVE the inclusion of her old workplace photos. Having that previous life in an office is the norm for so many artists, plus, 90s Japan is かっこういい. :-)

work... not the talent... let's gooo!

bueno bene ficio de la duda.

Good for her, better late than never.

Ine ine .yuko chan

"Godzilla is my childhood." Well...

I've heard other Artists say the same that it's not all about the talent, and some of those Artists have been drawing since they were kids, so anyone can be an Artist if they want

Your voice is cute especially when you speak English.

Me: shows video to my little nodding Godzilla Lilttle nodding Godzilla: Nods Conclusion: little nodding Godzilla approves This makes me so very happy
