Grab a cuppa and something you're working on to keep you company for this one! It's been a whole long while, I've been busy with working/housekeeping/arting/general living, deleted my social media, aaaand I've forgot how UA-cam works. But I've missed you guys, so here's a long one! If you got to the end of the video, drop a painting emoji and tell me what you're working on 😊

Very beautiful..

I'll tell you why anyone would give up their life to do architecture: passion that drives you and you just have to do it. Doesn't make sence, but simple as that. lol

If you want to be an architect... GET CLIENTS. Until then, it's going to be a nightmare. Have fun being a starving designer.

So, this was an interesting video, but it leaves a few too many questions open. You've piqued my curiosity, though. What kind of firm did work at, in Dubai? Was it a big or small one? Did they have a specialty? What did they have you doing, most of the time? I've heard people in that field complain about the insane working hours. Why is that such a common problem? Is it because the client or the firm (or both) demand unreasonable timelines on projects? Why don't the guilds or professional associations push back on those conditions? I'd be interested in hearing your insight on these questions. Meantime, all the best, my friend.

I 100% Relate TO THIS! I'm now a Digital Product Designer

Me: can't choose between interior design and graphic design 🫠

This is exactly my journey, left architecture after graduating and doing a year in the industry and now I shifted into UI/UX design

I love the video but the music is somehow louder than your voice, which is a bit distracting

You don’t have to throw these away when they’re empty, especially if the nib is still good… you can just pull the nib with tweezers and syringe some Indian/Bombay Ink in… it’s cheap AND waterproof!

Hopefully my like helps your algorithm

This is so creative and shows how you try to connect with your emotions. It's beautiful!!

I like it ❤

Great point about human imperfections! One of the things that urban sketchers are often challenged on is whether or not they sketched a scene on location. This generally leads to snapping a photo of your sketchbook with the actual subject in the background. This is something that will take some time for AI to mimic when your subject is very indigenous to your neighborhood. So we still have a need to show our world one sketch at a time.

Yeah, that's a big part of why I urban sketch. It's makes a much better impression on my memory and senses than a picture. Well put.

Just started watching the full video and thought that rather than drawing the limits, bounding box of your design thumbnail and endeavour to put the design within it, why not outline what you want to show and then draw the borders around it? Now back to the video.

I recently quit my 9-5 architecture job to purse independent career in art. Your video is so much relatable for me! I could relate with everyword you just said. With Ai art taking over artist's jobs I'm not sure If I am taking the right decision to become an artist at this day and age but one thing I am sure that I don't want to return to architecture anymore. Lets see how things goes, I have no idea what I'm gonna get myself into or where I will be in next 5 years

I agree. In architecture, you work too hard, with unpaid over time, on garbage projects and yet get paid less than an exceptional welder who works a regular 9 to 5 shift. I don't even receive healthcare coverage. The ROI on my education is a complete tragedy. I plan to transition to the IT profession with just a few months of trade school.

I am working so hard but my views on urban painting is very low, watching your video i got motivated again to do more urban painting... Great work

You have to find your nitch and make yourself valuable. And willing to take on any project no matter how good or how shitty it is. Finally we take more good projects. And work where the money is. My former employer was asked by a client to come look at his fireplace. He agreed but the client said it has to be on Sunday. So he agreed and did 3 houses, and several large projects in NJ and FL.

Some people are not artistic/creative (like me). I have tried and practiced for years to better myself at art, with no success whatsoever. Sometimes things are just not meant to be. Art, cooking, music, writing, it doesn't matter, I'm hopeless at all of them, and they are all creative pursuits. People who claim "everyone's creative" are deluding themselves.

Amazing 😮

Nice work

I appreciate that you said not giving up and not shelving your sketch book is also a measure of success. Thanks for the video!

you deserve more views girl🤍

Lovely video ❤ Entering 2024 with high hopes about my art goals 😊 Nice to see you back on UA-cam and wish you the best this year!

Thank you so much for showing your beautifully, enjoyable art. I particularly love ove your trees and admire your penwork. The watermark reminds me a bit of 'found art'. I have subscribed.

Do not view ARCHITECTURE in terms of money,,,don't limit yourself in Architecture!!Architecture is UNIVERSAL,,,,thanks for sharing your experience!

Who are you?

Dead on the money! Exactly right and why I quit the profession. I also couldn’t stand the snobs.

I think you need to fix your audio. Too hard to understand you.

Im a newbie architect tooo, i totally agree with you as even in school i just constantly felt that i wasnt in the right place. Right now I am looking for opportunities in UX design

My problem is making the size of things so small I couldn't even add detail if I wanted to. It comes from drawing small with my face close to the paper id doodle on in school.

Question. Who said you couldn't be both an architect and a graphic designer? Regarding the other professions that you mentioned, I know folks who are in the medical field, nurses and doctors who voiced the same concerns regarding pay and long hours. However, I 100% agree with you that changing careers is normal. But during the transition, ask yourself, honestly, "Why am I making this change"? "Is it because I want a job, leading to a career that's low stress but with incredibly high pay"? If that's the case, it's not happening, no matter what other social media platforms shows. Architecture, just like any other profession has a "love and hate" relationship. Just be aware that although graphic design is under the same umbrella of architecture, there will be times where you love it and hate it. I know architects who are also engineers, graphic designers, sculptors, and fashion designers. Just something to think about. Thanks for sharing.

The music is probably a little too loud, but besides that this is a nice presentation.

just finished my part 1 and want to switch to something else, but side note love your video editing and style!

Using Google Earth, you can drop into different places all over the world. It’s a great resource to virtually walk the streets and sketch scenes.

❣️❣️❣️

your video is good but the music is distracting so i hope you can talk with out it

Will you suggest BIM career over UX for an architect with 2 years of experience ? TBH I love graphic & user interface design as well.

Love your channel ❤🎉

Amazing😍😍😍😍😍😍

Watching Ali Abdaal's videos really gave me the motivation to start my own channel. I started off trying to post every week. I even got to the point where I was posting 2 videos a week. Let me tell you. Weekly videos is bad advice. I was forced to take a break due to some family issues, and it was actually the greatest thing for my channel. I realized that I don't need to post every week - I don't have to put that stress on myself. Now, I only make videos for me: advice for my younger self and teaching fun techniques I learned. And I post 1 - 2 times a month. And my channel is growing and the community I am building is stronger because I have the time to really engage with people rather than just trying to churn out videos. Great video! Looking forward to see what you do when you're back.

Absolutely agree 😂
