this video is so real. but also I value a consistent artstyle with consistent techniques because I want to be recognised and build a personal brand around my art ;-; like how some artists are recognisable without a signature

@wispravine

Ай бұрын

I think having a recognizable style/brand is valuable as well! :3 However, i’ve never seen an artist with no defining traits or characteristics. I believe the style issue artists deal with has much more to do with our biases than actual plainness. It’s similar to how we see our own faces/voices as mundane because we’re so used to them. We don’t see the novelty others may see in us, we are biased against our uniqueness. I’ve seen a lot of artists stress themselves out about finding their “style” even while I see tons of consistency throughout their works already. There’s something to be said about branding, there is a time and place for taking a more structured approach to stylization, I just wanted to talk about how style is mostly an automatic thing you’ll figure out once you develop your tastes~ It’s not something I like to worry about too much. ^^

Think about it: how are you suposed to develope an art style when you currently struggle with the basics? I say this because i also feel bad with my art being inconsistent, but this is normal for someone who is not a master in the tecnic. In this stage, every drawing is a practice, not an artwork. If you know how to draw, you can do any style you want and it's gonna look good, 'cus you undertand how to mold the world into an unique vision. But if you first persue your "artist identity" you're getting a pitful result. Why you should have an identity if you don't actually know how to draw?

@CorralSummer

Style will come pretty much no matter what. Better to focus just on improving and not letting "style" or "brand" hold you back.

I think a lot of people think of art as a thing that you’re good at or aren’t. Art isn’t about talent, it’s about endurance. it’s so rare to see people talk about the journey. being a good artist is first and foremost about learning and growing. I wish I could convey what I mean as well as this video has evoked. As an artist i’ve accepted that I will never be satisfied with my art, and I know that that is a GOOD thing. Many people will chase consistency, but it’s annoying buddy, stagnation, isn’t something we want. There will be ups and downs. So cherish the moments you’re proud of yourself. look back to see how far you’ve come. Let those moments fuel you when times are tough. That’s why the goals she talks about setting are so important. The feeling you get when you accomplish something can’t be compared to anything else. It’s so incredibly sad to see people give up before they even try, just because they realize that they have to actually WORK to be good at something. It takes diligence to master a skill and art is one of those things where “mastery” is different for everyone. So take joy in the tiny victories. I like to think of finding my art style like taming a great ferocious beast, it tosses you around, chews you up and spits you out. It goes where it pleases and you get pulled along for the ride. As you improve you gain more control over your expression. Struggling isn’t a sign of weakness, it’s a sign of resilience.

Had a classmate at school who just would try and make everything a competition with me (which I didn't enjoy). She eventually got so jealous about me being able to draw better than her that instead of improving her art she just completely gave up. It wasn't too bad as well ,just more the typical "starting to draw anime" kind of style with humans and while her animals didn't have the best anatomy they still looked cute. My art was(and still is) far from perfect as well though.

I know the feeling, but many professionals use references as well. As long as you aren't tracing what you are referencing, it's ok. I do kind of of a in the middle. If I can't free hand my reference, I'll use the reference and draw out the skeleton (shapes/pose) ontop of the reference and adjust from there so it's not traced (least not 100%). I picked this up in a video where the artist was using it to help teach and understand how to draw an artists style.

honestly one of the best art advice videos i've ever come across, especially in the long term!!! tysm for ur hard work :D

Its so difficult… i scroll and see things i’d love to recreate, try to study but my adhd has already made me give up and find something else to do. I did well for my exams when i was told what to do. I cant do anything without prompting 💔

Thank you! I’ve been really stuck on a road block lately. I feel like I want and need to draw new things. I love my “comfort bubble” of art, but I want to do different things, which is scary. When I look back at my old art from when I was younger, I envy my younger self because I saw how not afraid I was to experiment with poses, angles, and other varied factors. Although my art had technically improved to a degree, I still feel like it lacks that experimental and freeness my old art had! I realize how important angles and poses are. It adds so much life to drawings, and can help make your art look so much more improved. Practice is SCARY! And it’s hard going through and finishing an ‘imperfect’ drawing that I feel looks horrible. Practice is key. Though pushing yourself too hard can make backwards progress! Don’t be so hard on yourself, and give yourself credit! Remember you can also learn from your ‘bad’ or ‘failed’ drawings. So please, don’t erase what you feel are “bad” drawings! You can always learn and improve. Give yourself some leniency. This video is very useful, and it helps validate what I need to do to try and get better. I, as well as thousands of others really needed and appreciate this video. Sincerely, thank you!

I honestly didn't like inconsistency art style because I didn't feel like there's any character to my drawing, while I did enjoy experimenting I really just want to build something and improve it instead of just keep changing from mediocre to mediocre look.

The aimless, goal-less thing is a HUGE thing I struggle with sometimes. 😭 I'll fix one thing and then sit there, brain loading, trying to figure out where to go next for months because when it comes to what I want my art to look like I can point to like...47 different unrelated art styles.

There definitely is such thing as in-born talent. My cousin was such a fantastic artist at 13 when she had ZERO interest in art until 13. So she managed to get that much "practice" in less than a year? Nah man, she just had an eye for art. Some of us can't imagine things at all, even with references. Like I use references all the time, but my art still looks like ass. There's something I do wrong every time that makes them look uncanny, and I've tried fixing just about every feature. I can't set a goal when I dont know where I need to improve.

We start out with different tools, and some we will never have access to. I have a friend with aphantasia who can't really imagine anything new to put into her art, but she is able to make life-like realistic portraits from a reference. You might need to change your approach to work with what you do have, or you might just need more time. I've heard your mind's art knowledge improves before you gain the physical skills to reproduce it. For your specific problem, if you've tried changing a lot of details, maybe you need to take a step back and reevaluate the whole picture. Draw your images as tiny thumbnails and check the composition. Reduce your drawing and your references to very basic shapes, and see if they match up. Art often involves making illusions with those basic shapes. See if you can recreate the illusion without the detail. And occasionally flip your canvas to check proportions, but don't go crazy. I'm sure your details will look great if your basic shapes are set up. ^^ Best wishes with your process. ❤

this gave me so much confidence lol i'll come rewatch it whenever i doubt myself or just need motivation to do more art o7

I feel ya on the living life point. I got burnt out doing art/had to deal with hurricane aftermath, and took a two year break from doing art. When I was able to start doing art again that time away actually helped my art improve. Had all my art friends going 'wtf?!!?' cuz to them, I had improved doing 'nothing'. I also agree with setting a goal. I like to set art resolutions with the new year where I work on something I view as a weak point(s) in my art during the year. I've always seen an improvement when I compare the first drawing and the last drawing of that year. Thus I get one step closer to how I wish my art would look =D

I'm glad you said the thing at the end that it's not bad to have an inconsistent artsyle. That made me feel a lot better about how inconsistent mine is!

THis is such good advice and a reminder I need. I'm always scared of messing up, but I find I improve a lot more when I let myself mess up and experiment.

Omg ty this is so helpful as I’m just getting into bettering my art :D ❤

The part about setting goals is very important. All my life until my sophomore year of high school I just drew aimlessly whatever I wanted. I only progressed due to art class teaching me stuff about value, color, light, etc. but even then none of my stuff was really any good for being in middle school. I had friends who were already learning anatomy while my characters looked like blocky roblox people. After my sophomore year of HS my art was fairly decent, but I knew I wasn't learning what I wanted to learn, so that summer I dedicated myself to learning how to draw people (specifically anime girls, but that's not important) so I started up looking anatomy tutorials. I found a draw with jazza video, then went through lots of Marc Brunet videos, and even watched some Ethan Becker (mostly for the entertainment factor tho). I started slowly getting better, and when I first got out of my comfort zone my art was really bad. My drawings kinda looked flat and were blurry with how much I overused the soft airbrush for shading. My color was awful, linework was messy, anatomy was janky, but overtime that got better and better. I started with just learning how to draw faces, then started working on bodies, then I learned more about how to draw hair and eyes. By the end of the summer I made a piece that I was really proud of and I'm still kinda proud of today. Right now I draw one big piece about every month or so, and my most recent piece that I'm just now finishing up is probably the best I've ever made. I've made more progress in the last 4 years than I have in the first 15 years of my life. My next goals are to learn how to pose in perspective better and to learn how to render/digitally paint.

I’ve been drawing for 5 years too and your „bad examples“ looks better than my art- still thanks you seem rlly nice I’m gonna watch ur vids while eating now

The one goal per year idea is actually very cool, i'm actually looking forward to try that when i'll get some time to get back into drawing and doodling again

# taking risks. I go out of my comfort zone with every picture I start, since I always try something I never did before with a picture. I guess without a certain amount of anxiety I find drawing boring. # Input. Since the 90s I used to collect a lot of references (in the past it were comics, manga, picturebooks and photos I took myself from places, today its my collections on instagram and pinterest) # goals My goal is always to ban the picture in my mind on the paper in front of me. # letting go Over the years I always again had to let go of my idea what to persue - black outlines, colored outlines, no outlines, ridiculously proportioned characters ... Bonus points: # training I'm not a good example here. I hardly ever trained, since I don't draw for fun. I hardly enjoy it. I enjoy the final goal - seeing the image in my head on the paper. (I only enjoy applying goache to the paper - everything else is stressful to me) Drawing for training always felt like a waste of time. And there were other things in life I saw as priorities. I might use ADHD, chronic fatigue, tremors and chronic stress as excuses here, but I'm well aware that many artist have all these and also work two day jobs like me soooo .... no excuse... The price I paid for this decision is to be in my 40's now and having very average skills. I'm at the skill level of 16yo artists I admired 20 years ago. # avoiding perfectionism 10 years ago I was such a perfectionist, I didn't finish most pictures at all, since they were all not good enough. Not bothering to train art but being a perfectionist is the weirdest combination. Today I know that I will always mess up proportions, perspective and shades in every picture, but I don’t mind anymore since I know, I automatically get better with every picture I draw and paint. And hey maybe when I'm an old lady in retirement, I've become a great artist - or AI has completely taken over by then - who knows ...

I’ve literally just begun to step out of my comfort zone with art and have started feeling like an egomaniac whenever I draw something successful . . . Thank you for reminding me it’s okay to think I’m the best!

I've been trying to lean into drawing a more cartoony style. i usually draw realistic portraits, but I've noticed that i really like animated and exaggerated styles more than realistic ones. this video made me want to draw more.

From what I learn when I draw, it’s all from my favorite subjects as it is with writing. And from my own analysis is when I truly enjoy what I perceive or develops through my memory it gets to me to where I draw it. (Ex: Drawing swords, coloring fruit, jagged or expressive lines I always felt I had a different way of drawing as when I was doing subjects or touching on paints and canvases, I’d hate it and restore to older methods like finger painting or splashing it around even if the canvas was just a load of random splashes and water drops I though looked cool, but it helped me get out of the gutter on my skills. Sadly from issues, I perceive my own skill as bad since some things I can’t understand or worse can’t picture clearly, makes me sad at times or just make me known as stubborn. (In Colorado, I couldn’t grasp skiing so I did snowboarding) But from my own learning system, draw what you enjoy from shows as a start. It can be hard at first but seeing faces and drawing from there can help, and if you’re going for a personal style I’d say make a Pinterest file for this especially for those who want to paint but can’t figure where to start (As a painter hater, always pick through what paints you better with. Gouache is what I like) If you also just struggle to learn and feel some subjects make you feel inefficient there’s other ways to learn or you can advance to a subject you feel closer to. Forgive my own analysis being long or sounding useless, this is just for those who have issues to learning curves or advice. I’m figuring out I might have autism or something a little more due to my years of going undiagnosed. Learning is hard and at times some don’t really know where to go so I only hope this can be of use, if not then I’m glad your video made me realize my issues at times are from my learning curve and not me being stubborn or a coward even if I feel I do somewhat, so to others that have those same feelings, please know it takes time to work through and find what clicks. So take some advice and don’t feel afraid to use it and feel what works! :)

the best think i could for my art is to stop caring and just do whatever

As an artist I've learned to embrace my flaws and accept my rapidly changing and stagnant art style

such a beautiful video!! this was super inspiring 😭💚💚💚thank u for this!!!!! (ALSO THE OFF REFERENCES!!!!!

Recently I’ve been incorporating hands into my drawings and I’ve started using markers to color things in. As much as its been a challenge it’s also been improving my art.

I thought that using references for drawing is unfair and I should do everything myself even if I don't know how. Thanks for changing my mind. I'm beginner in digital art and maybe should use references for at least animal anatomy so I could finally draw animal bodies correctly

Absolutely love your editing style. Very floaty & dreamy

Those points about Risk Aversion and Aimless Processes stand out really well, cause we often perceive failure as something horrendous or to be dreaded from past experiences (not everyone probably went through this, but school's a good example). Truth is, you **need** failure and I learned this after a very long time. Making mistakes, just as long as you don't repeat them cause that'll cause stagnation, are *necessary* cause you can see the weaknesses that you need to improve on. To lead into the aimlessness point, what helps alleviating that is to either pick the thing that is the BIGGEST offender or the thing you notice that you're good at initially, then work towards that. We as humans like to be result-based but trust me, leaning more into the smaller things or simplifying is how not just art but other things get done. Basically draw without judgement a human face for example and if the biggest problem is that it looks flat, work on form, or if the eye placement is off, study proportions. You can also look at failure differently, I personally see it as a win-win situation, cause there's no harm that causes fatal injury if you mess up on a painting. If you did something good, excellent job. If you did something wrong, you have something to work on, therefore you have found the problem that needs practice for your art to look better.

I love this, no bs, no sugarcoating, all great advice!

I can't take the editing but that's on me, too much stimuli for my little brain I got through it and I think it's great advice, thank you so much!!

i think the way from "art baby" to "art god" is very much like the way from regular fox to nine-tailed kitsune: you spend a long time and a lot of effort on cultivating your powers, gaining tails (mastery over aspcts of art) as you go, and at some point you're so far from where you started that compared to regular folk you might as well be a god, but the fact remains that all it takes to bridge the distance is time and effort (and a willingness to look at your own faults and adress them when necessary).

This video made me want to get back into my sketch book, full of half finished inconsistent drawings, and start drawing some more(, most likely half finished inconsistent drawings but-) with every drawing my brain has to learn something right? And if i keep adding to what i know while mostly focusing on having fun, even if my drawings look like shit, at the end of the day it was what I tried and learned that counts 🙃

yeah, Im lucky Im a bit too willing to take risks lol, drawing and composing even as I make a game and soon 2 games at once cause gamejams are hella drug, and yet I STILL find time to practice an hour of sketches a day XD this vid was good fuel to keep drawing! thank you!

helpful vid. Ive been drawing since i was 8 no joke 12 years. and I practiced everyday, and yet my art still looks like begginers level. Even at uni my teacher told me that my art is still basic and that i need help with it despite my years and years of practice. I realize that practice doesnt awlays make perfect and practicing and studying art doesnt always work for some people. My issues im identifying now with art is that I dont erase my work, dont notice my mistakes until an hour later, and im too fast at drawing that i never take time. Once I get my adhd meds which hopefully will fix my attention span, i should imrpove at art too cuz my attention span is the biggest issue since i always rush art and then never work on it ever again cuz i get bored of it and move on too fast. I jump too quickly to the end goal rather than focusing on process. Also the stuff about jealousy is so true, I've known so many people that have learnt drawing within a week of practice compared to my 12 years which I get really upset about and compare my art to theres, I always found it unfair.. And about goals, I could never set a goal cuz i just get so bored easily, anything longterm for me is impossible

thats so truee recently i started doing digital and i sucked at colors but ive tried adding bit by bit more colour and i did goodd

I see Genshin, I see HSR, I see BSD, dang you have spectacular taste! Vanitas too???

I didn't even realize you were rambling (yapping?) Until you were calling yourself out. You're entertaining to listen to and very informative. I find a lot of your points to be true and while my art has been forever changing I once started wanting it to stay the same so it'd be what people knew me by. But there was also another time i wanted to hide on social media and changed my style completely, my friend knew it was me anyway somehow but played along with my bullsh- So anyway it really doesn't matter ppl will know you anyway lmao. Hello I'm your new subscriber. 👍

Love all the madoka art :D

this video is so visually appealing that i couldn't draw while listening to it in the background! :O

I needed to hear this so much

one time my gifted teacher told me and my other friend who just started drawing as a hobby like two weeks before and was trying to get better that references were cheating. she wasnt even an artist herself.

thank you i really needed to hear this

The editing in this video is yummyyy (also your arttttt I wanna eat it it looks like hard candies)

Like this video! Getting started was really hard, when I started treating it like homework I spent around 16 hours every week, I saw only a little bit of improvement and it was hard, lots of work little progress. It spent me 1 hour to draw a bald head to the reference, and it wasn’t good at all, maybe now, 2-8 minutes at most, 8 minutes if I’m picky. Now I spend way less cause senior years, and kind of burnout so 2 hours a week? 4 if I’m inspired. I started committing 2 years ago, that isn’t a long time. So get started! If your willing to put the hard hours it’s not difficult at all! Art is a skill!

If I just draw normally without a reference it looks decent. One time I just used a reference of Layla from Genshin and drew her and damn it actually looked way better than I thought I could draw

I’m taking a risk by taking some designed characters, which I normally do, and try and make detailed backgrounds and other visual development stuff for it. Backgrounds are the bane of my existence and I’ve wanted to get better at them for a while so I’m hoping this helps

You are legit so underrated

around maybe 3-4 years ago, when I was really into art, everyone told me to quit. So I did. Haven't really drawn since then and idk if I ever will

I think you should draw if you really want! Don’t let other ppl dictate what you should or shouldn’t do. I think art is about having fun :)

I don't think my art is that bad and I genuinely think I could be good at it but when I have to stop halfway through what I'm working on for any reason it's hard to get back into it after that, that's the main thing but it's not something I can fix at the moment, all the other things that take my attention away are equally important if not more important. I'll improve like crazy after a few weeks or months without touching digital art at all, I like watching artists and playing games which are all about art, I just look at the techniques and I seem to absorb the information as lessons to be learned, obviously I'll still make mistakes that are just as important to learn from but it's crazy how much of my improvement came from not actively practicing. When I put my mind to it I can easily do good poses, colour and shade things nicely, and I could do nice line art too but I'm often too lazy, I'm not a perfectionist with my art, and since I know nobody's looking at it or judging it I just don't care.

The eyes on that old Madoka artwork during the lighting example nearly made me choke, especially when you were critiquing everything else so i was like *AM I TRIPPING GURL?!* Also i love how blursed the james charles Sukuna with his flame orange ears is Jokes aside though its a very nice clear line of progression so thats cool

this is so real. my art got a DRASTIC improvement when I just went "screw it" and started drawing what I wanted (from reference), regardless of my current skill level. funny how that works

i NEEDED that first point tyvm !!

Awesome video, VERY insightful :) I also get very annoyed when people call others “art gods” and similar things, forgive my bluntness, but it’s just so stupid. You made many great points that made me want to draw again, so thank you . . . Also, you have a very nice voice. Never stop talking. ^_^ LOL! Have a great day!!!

i keep improving and getting worse, no idea what i wanna do with art but its the only thing im kinda good at so i keep trying. But i'm also too lazy to actually practice but also too much of a perfectionist to accept mistakes i make in my art xd if something looks bad i throw the drawing away lol. i do one day wanna become good enough to make money with my art but idk how i'll do it

11:15 iM Actually so glad you also talked about art styles being stagnant and whatnot, to be honest i thought for the longest time since i dont have a concrete art style that i basically had no art style. People really made it seem like an art style is something that has to fit specific things all the time, and that you should have a specific one.

i love ur content sm, it helped me alot in my art journey, keep doing what u do best and even if u get hate, dont let it get to u! ily

aweee thank you!! i’m happy I could help ^^ some of the comments are so mean it’s kinda funny 😭 I just think “what possessed you to say this to someone?” HAJAHHA usually i send them to my friends and we make fun of them so nw, they can’t get rid of me that easily o(｀ω´ )o

BYEEEE THIS LITERALLY WOKE ME FR UP

This helped me in a way I can’t explain, I already was fine with experimenting and failure but?? Something clicked I guess?? I don’t fully understand it all but I understand most of it now! Thank you :)

im no longer stress about my art does this mean I'm no longer improving?

"we are what we believe ourselves to be" i believe im batman

But if i go to blind confidence, wont i be disappointed when i do a piece?

I taught beginners artist before long time ago. I do both anime and realistic but mostly anime as it was more complex teaching how to draw realistic human face. The biggest problem with them is, they are hesitant to imitate or try a style. This is big because eventhough it isn't original, having to learn a style could help you develop your own. You may not like anime but you might like the style similar to Ben10 or other cartoon networks shows. Style doesn't mean only relating to anime. And no, I don't consider it stealing someone's style like AI does. You're basically training the ways of drawings through someone's inspiration then eventually enveloped your own and even combination of your old style. And I get it, we all wanted to be unique but just like school where we train ourselves with different methods of learning, passing test, and our study style, it is similar to how we grow as an artist. We have to repeat the samething over and over to develop it. I didn't learn art in one day. It's been almost 25yrs since I started and even still today I don't consider myself perfect. I continue to improve and learn. This is just my take. Inspiration and adaptation can be a big thing. When I started back in 90s, I did trace most notebooks and cards with anime on it. That's how I learn and grow my own style overtime. Don't be scared to share it. Just give credit, how hard is it to give credit now a days. I even recommend people to use my art as a training then credit me. We learn to each our own. EDIT: I know my English sucked. Changed Teached to Taught :P

This video was perfect, but I definitely think my simp is showing because 60 seconds of chibi wanderer being on screen and I couldn’t resist clicking subscribe any longer. It’s like my finger was being magnetically pulled to that button

HAHAH dw i would do the same 💞💞💞 thank u kindly for your sub!! ^^

I think as an artist we put ourselves on a high platform because we often compare ourselves to other creatives. We tend to think if we aren't like them or better than them then what good is it to keep putting out new work. Yet, with anything it comes with trials and the more we work on our talent, the better we will improve in time. I used to think the same way that I wasn't getting better and felt stuck. I noticed most of the time my art felt stiff and other than basic fundamentals still needing work, I kept asking myself why I felt this and took a different approach to improving. Partly why I felt unhappy was because I wanted to develop a look, but I also wanted to do more dynamic poses and did. So while it's not a major jump, it's an improvement. There isn't a right or necessarily a wrong way to improving. It's more so the willingness and dedication.

You dont actually need references to get better! I myself have never used references (except for when i make fanart ofc) for my art and ive gotten pretty decent. My approach has been to just look at art and make mental notes, then apply it later. Although, im actually best at drawing hands, and you could argue that i have reference for my hands (my own hands) So maybe not using references is holding me back idk :P

I think my main problem is that I can’t find an art program that I can use to my liking. I don’t have the money for clip studio, and I can’t figure out how to use the ones I own to the fullest.

Imagine trying to express an entire planet but a furball comes out instead.

This video makes so much sense, thanks

I LOVE YOUR ART BTW!! Thanks for helping with some tips :) +1 sub

this is actually really good

I think this might be my comfort artist
