Im 34 year old artist, with 34 tips for you to be better...
Yes, 34. Kind of a crazy feeling, but that's why tip number 34 is so important to (not) do...

As dropout fine art student burn out for 4 year from produce any artwork but this year I'll decide to back to drawing again. starting draw for fun and learning once again and maybe will monetize my artwork next year.
bro based
Hi boy. You great I'm from Russian, and I like you watching
Maybe technology can read my mind. Regardless this my current issue so thanks for taking the time to make this in advance
I feel this so bad, my most recent thing is that I want to write a novel! Great vid, keep it up :)
Thank you, I can fully relate to this one too! I actually jot ideas and plot points down every now and again (mostly on my days off) for when I have time someday to give myself to this more. I hope you can too!
I'm an art student, 3rd year, not what I expected and in a not-so-great uni city. Ofc feeling lost and (so sorry if it sounds corny) kinda depressed for feeling paralyzed in here and seeing everyone succeed on social media in great countries and cities. Thank you dearly for keeping me inspired. Thank you also for talking me a bit more into thinking about UA-cam, and maybe being brave enough to post online in a professional/creative way. Not to be scared of the process and ultimately be grateful of the things I have around, even if they are not meant for me. Felt I had to say it🤧 (So sorry if it sounds cheesy omg Im just emotional rn🫂)
No need to apologize, thank you so much for sharing. Ugh that isolation is heavy, I know the feeling well, the paralysis gets so intense especially with the guilt social media amplifies. Just know that it's temporary! and if you decide to pursue UA-cam or share your work online, remember to set boundaries. Because they can blur easily when it becomes a part of your routine or work. I wish you all the best, and I'll do what I can to share any knowledge or encouragement I have. 🧡
Thank you so much dear. Lots of luck with your channel and artistic life too❤❤ wishing you all the best@@DavonMcMillian

Absolutely! Good luck, and once you start keep going! even when it gets tough. You got it. 💫

Real daily routine of a graphic designer: 1. Wake up. 2. Eat. 3. Work. 4. 2h sleep. Repeat
how's not showering going for you?
@@DavonMcMillian Good, soon the dirt will stick me to the chair permanently, so I will be able to work longer.
they way you use your tools as an artist is so satisfying, what stationary do you use?
In this video I was using a Leda Art Supply sketchbook, but I also like Strathmore and Moleskin.
