He's getting better at drawing because he simply loves drawing. Could explain why I'm bad at any post 2021 game.
Bad game taste lol

You know, the best advice is to just draw what you like and don't care about progress. If you study even a little, then after a year you would make drastic changes without putting in almost any effort
* and draw from references
is there like a place to learn more abt stuff? without those videos showing a pro making a sketch done in a second and start doing what the said tut is or smth
if he learned all of that from one does anyone know who that is? i want to get that course
heeeeelll yeaaa
agreed. Personally, I made Horikoshi my model and I learned a lot of shortcuts in his art style. I've improved faster in him than when drawing without any passion/ learning boringly.
@@arlynnecumberbatch1056 just look bunch some base tutorials and try to put knowledge from them into your art, but don't overwhelm yourself. You need to catch a flow
Tip no. 2 is very important, as an artist who taught Da Vinci, michelangelo, Raphael, Picasso, etc , I always told them to follow tip 2, and see where they are now!
Bro 💀💀, really took me while to get it 😂
In the ground, somewhere, and broken down into carbon atoms, but they'll always be remembered!

Hm?
This whole video hit me like a TRUCK.
I haven't been drawing what I liked and started doing what I thought I "should". And, just like you said, it started feeling more like a chore rather than something I enjoy.
Great video, man.
Yep i feel you there i think a lot of artists or people whom want to be artists get caught in that trap. Heck i would even go so far to say it happens not just to artists but to every field that requires a lot of skill and dedication.
Well for most great artists out there, I believe art is something you can’t get good at unless you enjoy the process, like me personally, my art 2 years ago was no where near the level I am at now, one big factor is like two years ago, i didn’t take art very seriously and thought i alright know a lot about it, in reailty i havent even scratch the surface, thus now, i decided to try really hard to improve, tho there were times where I didn’t felt like drawing at all, most of the time now I really enjoy the process
That's why I stopped drawabox, I just wasn't enjoying it. I thought it was me, but maybe that course just isn't for me (yet). I'm really excited to go back to drawing. Probably won't though, cause I'm a loser.
@@Ten_Thousand_Locusts come on bro cali g yourself a loser is not true, everyone has their time to shine whether it’s arts or sports. Now, you know what you like best, but for me. I love arts whether it’s music or animation, playing a instrument or illustration, it’s for you to find what you like and see what you really think you will enjoy, another factor for me not quoting arts is “I have spend so much time, why quit now? It would be such a waste”
@@Sasukesanimation thanks dude, I'm glad you were able to find something you're really passionate about. Keep that spark alive!
"just do what you want" is what got me into blender properly.
doing the "blender donut" helped to actually learn the software, but launching into doing what i want made me improve so ungodly fast in quality .
learning not to be a perfectionist also helped. "fail faster".
As an artist who started in 2020 during COVID age 27-28 at the time, I made Pewdiepie's amount of progress in just a month having not drawn since the age of 10 and then I completely burnt out. For the next 4 years I just struggled a lot to motivate myself. I practiced on and off but I always went in too hard and got burnt out. And finally this December I struck a good balance.
I just came to realise that this journey is as marathon spanning decades and its not a race. So I decided to pace myself, take my time, and focus on improving on one thing at a time, rather than doing a lot at once. If you want to draw and portraits? Just draw portraits and faces from references for a few months and then slowly figure drawing into it.
Also unlike a lot of beginners Pewdiepie got better because he drew from reference. Also it seems like he genuinely enjoys the prcess of drawing, sometimes this can be boring for beginners, this is why it's so key to draw what you like when starting.
Everyone who has tried to learn or teach drawing can tell that Pewds is not "seriously" practicing drawing, because he only does one page a day. The way people learn drawings is by practicing with basic shapes and structures plus free drawing. Not one page a day, but several pages a day. And here is were the real problems start, because his results are not consistent:
One can clearly see how he is struggling with proportions, composition and basic shapes at the end of his 100th day. So how come he has some almost perfect anime sketches randomly once or twice? He is not only using AI anime art as references, but he also traces them. Drawing in only one side of the page with no guidelines, in a completely new art style he has never practed before or after. So he is not better "than half" the art community. I think he is barely part of it but because he is a beloved and famous youtuber everyone is cutting him some slack when it comes to anything. Even when he is an adult manchild that is only interested in drawing anime female children.
@@MrPipol-nm3cd tbf, i might agree with some points, but damn, chill man
Bro same. This is the same story with any creative hobby I begin. It goes well for like 3 months and then I just stop and then I struggle for months, sometimes even years, to pick it back up again.
It's frustrating because this endless cycle repeats itself over and over again. If I take a break for even a week I lose all momentum, and when I try to pick it back up again I slog through it.
I understand that this is normal, that this is simply how any practical skills work, they are more analogous to training a muscle than to reading a book. "Understanding" practical skills won't make you significantly better at them, since the vast majority of the "talent" comes from actually doing the thing.
This is so frustrating to me since I am a very theoretical person. I love learning about the underlying mechanisms behind things, I spend hours in my inner world, daydreaming about possibilities or scenarios. But actually practically doing any of these things is just so unintuitive.
Well-intentioned people give superficial advice like "just throw yourself into it!" or "just don't think about it too hard", and the one I most dread: "just draw anything".
Art truly is about enjoying the process and not the outcome. I guess there is something inherent about guiding a pencil through the paper that makes art euphoric to people. It's not really about what they're drawing, or how it comes out in the end. They just, somehow...draw...and it works for them. I have no idea why, and I can't help to be overcome by jealousy, which quickly transforms into self-directed hatred and malice. "Why should I even try?" "I'm out of my field" "I'll never compare to them".
I think that the underlying issue is that I have a lot of passion but zero discipline. I love art, I love consuming art, and I have VERY high expectations of the art I consume. And when what I create doesn't meet the expectations that I've placed for the art of others, it just makes me feel like a fool. And so you can imagine how empty and futile it feels when I'm hit with advice like "just draw things even if you don't like them" or "you need to draw a bunch of things you hate first". I'm too much of a perfectionist. Usually, if you know the theory beforehand, you can get it right the first time. I'm so used to my theoretical knowledge of things being my guiding stone. When I'm tasked to just throw myself into something, I just freeze. And if art is about the exact opposite of this, then it feels like I'm hopeless.
Any advice? You seem to have gone through a somewhat similar situation. Real advice, not "just practice more". What's the point of practicing if I inherently despise it? Clearly I need to reframe the way I view making art, no amount of just "throwing myself at it" will help if I don't have a clearly defined idea of what I'm even supposed to be doing.
Example: people say "just draw anything". Ok, I follow the advice. I try drawing a lamp. It turns out like shit. I curse at myself and cry myself to sleep that day. Then I never touch my sketchbook for another 3 months because that lamp drawing made loose all motivation. How do I get myself out of that rut??
But what's the point of beginning with nearly 30 and having not the free time of teenagers, and all the other artists on twitter or streamers are already pro when they hit 20? No way I'm gonna catch up to that level, so why even try to learn a skill if you can't become that level in it..
@@sercba8728 Have you tried? I guarantee, people in worse starting positions than either of us made it to that level. If they did it, so can we.
Do you have 30, no, even 10 minutes of free time per day? Start by using that time to draw.
Gym has the term "Newbie Gains". I think it translates well to what happened in the case of Felix. He is also having fun with what he is doing, something that more professionally oriented people lack often.
he is just lucky, fitting since he has everything, god really has his favorites
@@alwaysangry2232 you have food. you have a roof. you have functioning hands and you have a passion that you have found, most people in the world never discover their passion. learn satisfaction and gratitude, there is a jewish bedtime story about this called the king and the shoemaker/cobbler, it is 2 minutes to read at a moderate pace and i suggest you give it a look.
@@alwaysangry2232I hope that you are just joking , because that mindset is the perfect recipe to never ever improve at anything at all
@@alwaysangry2232 luck has little to do with whether you can be an artist, or just about anything really.
To be a good artist, the minimum requirement for you is to have at least a single working eye, a single working limb, and a working brain. And then, you just have to put in a lot of hard work and the first investment you have to make is a pencil, sharpener, and a piece of paper (eraser is optional but does make things easier) and you can just buy the cheapest one and it'll still do you wonders. Then you just gotta start drawing, you can take inspiration from literally anywhere. My first inspiration is a chair. Then, just keep drawing and improving upon the parts that feels lacking until you're satisfied with your skill.
My example would be me. I was born with Dyspraxia, making fine motor movement extremely difficult, but I still got good through years of practicing despite my parents often telling me that drawing is a waste of time. They only changed their minds when I'm already pretty good at it but that was after 6 years.
@@alwaysangry2232be glad you aren’t dying from starvation at a young age
Edit:Mentioned this because starving sucks and at least no one reading this is.
My bitter ass has been drawing for years, so seeing Felix get so good in such a short amount of time did make me pretty envious. Of course I'm happy he has a hobby he loves, that's why I draw too. It just sucks when my improvement seems so stagnant but others are so dramatic in a shorter amount of time.
Its inspiring for me because I drew less and less since college. And seeing how some bit of dedication could lead to such dramatic improvement made me pick it up again to hopefully similarly improve. "I just have to draw" was the message I got from it
I always make the most progress when I am doing something SPECIFIC. And it's usually something spontaneous, like last week I got all interested in painting trees for some reason, and trying to paint trees led me to exploring more tools and options than I typically do when I go "I am gonna sketch a something." It's hard to know what's wrong when you don't know what right looks like.
This third reason you gave makes me feel very comfortable about my own drawing. Recently, its been hard picking up the pencil to draw something as i worry about my fundamentals, but this video reassures me that i will be fine without studying every little detail. Thanks ron!
"Drawing what you like" helps you from burn out and drives motivation for creativity, but coming from a 4 year animation degree (which I dropped out of), it's more of a minor thing compared to the first two points. Hours of actively learning have a lot of impact even if you don't want to do it.
Nice summary! I especially like how heavily you emphathize drawing what you like. I for example just like drawing feet and got really good at it without ever having drawn the skeleton of the feet or the tendons of the feet. I just drew anime feet and got good at it by copying other artworks. Now I get paid like hundreds of dollars to draw feet. No idea why.
You know exactly why
🤨
Hmm I guess there some people who likes feet I guess
based
Beware, this business taints the sole- i mean soul
I definitely improved the most in my drawing that hot period of high school where I just kept drawing Young Justice characters (namely Robin) and other superheroes in that style CONSTANTLY in the margins of my notebook and on cards and literally eVERYWHERE. And I got REALLY GOOD at that style, faces, body style, proportions, etc. At least for a hobbyist.
Then I took an actual drawing class as an elective in college (and was bored until I got to people, but then we couldn’t draw cartoons, so screw that), and then attempted an online class much much later, and it became waaayyy too much of a chore/effort. I wasn’t drawing what I liked and the methods were too complex for my hobbyist desires. I had no attention span left. My “improvement” has pretty much stagnated.
I’m really tempted after this video to go back to my roots and just…copy everything in the style I like and go from there.
Don't be tempted to do it, just do it.
I really liked that forest analogy. Feels applicable to the way I've approached learning piano last couple of months, with some days not really feeling it and other days enjoying it like it's the last thing I get to do.
This is actually super encouraging to hear that its beneficial to draw what you like, and to have someone re-enforce the thought that you don't need to race, or really be perfect before you start drawing is awesome.
Pewdiepies growth relates to his focus, from day 1 to 100 he drew anime girls everyday, i see artists belitlle themselves saying pewdiepie draws better than them, but forget how if he were to draw something other than anime girls he would struggle. My takeaway is, if you want to be a visdev artist, do visdev everyday, if you want to be an animator, animate everyday. What i said is relevant for pepole trying to get into the industry fast.
i love how pewds destroyed the AI "art" maggots saying "hurr we don't have the material", literally only paper and a pencil and a few minutes of your day
if your a causal artist then what pewdiepie is doing is absolutely right and honestly is a healthy way to keep art in your life and to see improvement over time. if your aiming to be a professional however, the process is infact entirely different. just putting it out there as even though it got a soft mention in the video, i feel like it should be mentioned again just so people do genuinely know that it will take a bit more to genuinely make a break into the professional art scene.
art is about time and schools exist
I still love art and i am just gonna focus on it in summer. (when schools give us a summer break)
He also was a photoshop pro so he knew about human form and color theroy pretty well already
Thanks for this video!
Been wanting to pick up drawing, but didn't know where to start beyond picking up a pencil. There's some real good insight here that are giving me an idea of where to go. Real glad I found you a while back and subscribed!
I dont know why everyone freaks out about that he just draws anime faces if u draw it like that u get better it isnt that hard anatomy and different poses on the other hand...
Because we live in age where anyone who draws somehow eye-pleasing drawings is considered talented. No real knowledge is needed anymore.
Awesome advice! Especially around drawing what you love.
I don't want to compare my drawings to his, I draw creatures, not anime, so lots of animal studies lol. I think he has really good mentality and I am rooting for him. No need to compare our art levels here lol. I am also very positive about art and love studying, creating, etc. Don't worry about how fast anyone learns or worry about how slow you learn, just take his mentality from his video.
Now I do love drawing muscular people, I think learning from cartoon people (just gonna say cartoons since I just watch cartoons in general) might be pretty simple for me. I think I should try that out and see if my progress with drawing people can also accelerate pretty nicely.
Wow, the forest talk really put some perspective in my life, It doesn't have much to do with drawing but thank you
I appreciate your videos so much, they are so accessible and informative. Thank you! 🙂
It was pretty jarring to see him do so much progress in such a short amount of time when I've felt like I've had little to no progress in my art in the last five years
I love the life advices that are probably even better than art advice :x
thanks !
I hope I find your vid sooner so I didn't quit drawing. Still, thanks for the video anyway so that when I'm ready to get back to it I won't be too harsh on try to PERFECT everything. Big thanks man!
Being an artist, I struggle with focusing on my progress. This video was a big help. Thank you so much.
The 15 minute interval thing has helped me a lot. I do more than one a day (usually 2-4 a few hours apart so I can reset), but it's so much better than sitting down for a long time at the end of the day. I tried to treat drawing like painting warhammer models, but it is just not the right way lol.
I agree with this video. I had a long break from making art and I lost all my skills. I got better than I ever was in such a short amount of time by actively learning and showing up every day. I think as the years have gone on my attention has gotten worse. I wasn’t making stuff I loved and only did what I felt I should do. So that’s helped. I also had a lot of success with drawing from other artist’s work, which was something I felt was “wrong” (I just do this in my private sketchbook, and I write what the artist’s name is next to it for my own reference). You have to do art a certain way for sure. I am a bit stagnant right now because I’m just making piece after piece, but I know what to do if I want to continue to progress.
he likes drawing so if you like something you get better at it by how many times you spend doing it because you like it
im happy for him people should be able to do what they like doing :D
2:19 Why haven't I been getting this info. YES! THANK YOU RONILLUST
Haven’t been drawing for years, might try and get back into it over the summer.
I've been drawing every day for 400 days now so when I saw pewd's video I definitely felt discouraged at first, but I'm not gonna stop the grind. His progress is truly amazing though and inspires me now that I think about it more
how are you now bro?
I suggest to change "watch Blue period" into "read Blue period", Btw great video.
Pewdiepie taught me how dumb I was and how unwilling I am to improve
As a beginner i have to say that references help a lot when you first start out. I tried drawing without references but it just looked awful and i got really unmotivated becuae of it. After not drawing for a few weeks i recently started drawing again but this time with references and the difference is huge. Im genuinely happy with how the stuff i drew with references turned out and its 100 times better than the stuff i tried to draw without references.
This was really useful! I don’t watch pewdiepie, but it’s interesting to hear as a perspective on something I knew nothing about, especially as it was very informative 😊
This is making me feel so much better about my art, I keep forgetting it’s a hobby for me and not a competition
This was really helpful made me more passionate about art
The drawing every day for 15-20 minutes is actually incredible. I tried this a while ago and saw much more improvement from what I had been doing the previous 2 years and the difference from those 30 days alone was more than any other time I had spent drawing. I really do recommend to take a couple of days to sketch something you like for 15 minutes ever day :)
Thanks for the tip! I really enjoy drawing because of you and other people. That why I have subcribe to you!
this is one of the most helpful videos I've ever watched
That Blue Period tip is golden
I'm a bit of a purist and perfectionist for no reason and my thoughts are constantly addled with what I "should" be doing, even when it comes to things I enjoy. It's something I've been working on, but it's still not quite there yet. One of the many reasons I havent consistently pursued drawing yet is because of my fear of the lack of fundamentals or that I should force myself to pursue them. So, thanks for the reminder.
UA-cam shorts brought me to this channel. Videos and shorts are really nice
I didn't feel sad watching the video... I felt motivated...
After watching the video, I realized that I can do it too.
Thank’s for the tips. I’ll be attempting to draw for 100 days now
LMAO 2:30 Love that PewDiePie anime girl 😭😭😭😭
I cannot recommend daily drawing challenges enough! I did a 30 day one last year, and not only did it improve my style and techniques but also it forced me to improve my workflow, making it much faster and efficient. It also trains your brain to conceptualize the scene much faster. If you think you have the time, please do it.
i have watched a lot of these videos over the course of 7 years drawing and always they are mutch of the same tips. i have tried litteraly every single drawing tip there is to know and from every single video, even if i think i didnt need the drill.
but also, everytime they do a comparison from how they started off.... U KIDDING ME?! that "start off" always looks better than my drawings so i think straight up talent is also a big factor...
wow, this was exactly what I needed rn. Im in a tough situation of my life rn and I literally got wet eyes and almost cried when I heard this 5:48 - 5:56. ty.
love your videos.
imo this advice is actualy nice because i am a mod dev and im kinda crap at drawing people and generaly do better drawing mechs.
this advice helped me accept that yes im shit at drawing faces but atleast i can draw vehicles good
This is a great video with one crucial point after another! And yeah, if you like it, draw anime girls and flip haters the bird!
I wish this worked for me. I draw 2 hours a day, draw only what I want to and I’m not just doodling, I’ve been doing this for 6 months straight now and have been drawing for 15 years a little on and off and yet pewd’s art is way better than mine
i got a good tip:
'fail faster'
basically, because you learn so much from failing, stop tweaking and trying to perfect things and instead just launch to the end. even if it turns out awful, you'll learn much more much quicker.
this goes for everything by the way. Learnt it in comp sci.
Dunno what your process is that's taking up 2 hours, but try not to get too caught up with corrections
@@madensmith7014 it’s my lineart. I have shaky hands but I love clean nice lineart so I usually have to spam the undo button
My progression chare is more like a mountain range with a few roads running through it. I can't seem to keep my motivation consistent...
thanks for explaining this stuff!. i recently got burnt out because all i did was anatomy study and i wassent enjoying it but it though i had to do it if i wanted to get better at drawing, and barley drawing what i wanted
Man is focused and determined. Pewds picked one way to improve out of thousands and stuck to it, good on him.
I’m going do try to do what he did but first I’m not going to touch full picture drawing till I obtain a semi good grasp so by day 15-20 I’ll start drawing things I like but I’ll just practice 3 random things to see how they turn out over time
6:07 so true, it was low-key inspiring
Hmmm I wonder what's your advise for those that draws to work in professional environments, 'cause you will get clients that want certain characters to look a certain way and you of course have to be versatile and be able to draw a wide range of facial features and expressions.
Would be glad to hear your thoughts on it!
He is just built diff
I also recommend you watching Blue Period. Have a good one everyone!
My problem is I'm drawing triangles and squares over and over again(filled like 6 pages) but I'm not really feeling like I improved. I have no idea what to do or what I should learn. I don't how technique or perspective improves
But one thing I know is that even if I'm oblivious drawing triangles was the most fun thing I did this week
Tip 2 was my favorite tip of this whole video. I honestly thought Pewdiepie’s art style even reminded me a bit of Blue Periods art style.
This felt like a very personal and close one sided conversation
The drawing what you like is important. This is really true for ANY SUBJECT. The best way to learn something is if you enjoy it due to the motivation to seek for new information and practice. So, telling people to learn fundamentals is not a good way to start. Have the person be interested in the subject/skill first, that will give them motivation to learn. Then you can focus on fundamentals. It's not just art, it is for anything. It is true for sports and true for academics. Make something fun, and the student/newbie will seek to improve without any external forces.
This is the journey I had from art, drawing as a kid. I enjoyed it, and continuously improve over the years before finally focusing more on fundamentals. Ofc focusing on fundamentals did help my art improve much more dramatically than just drawing for fun, but fundamentals are kinda boring if you aren't already motivated.
I had the same journey with science and history. At first, I got into history due to war games and that led to a rabbit hole where nowadays I read stuff from online archives from time to time because it's interesting. But telling someone who just started to "read from primary sources or academic papers" is going to be boring. Pop-history, movies, and games is how you can start someone down the journey.
For visual arts, I think stuff like anime has been the most common catalyst, not anatomical theory XD.
Materials also helped 😂
When i started doing serious arts, i couldn't even afford good colored materials 😂 my colored pencils felt so dry and brittle, my papers would rip in just one erasure and the markers i used barely had ink in them 😂
That really hindered my progress till i was able to afford proper mediocre materials... Still cheap, but workable at least 😂
Now, i can afford good enough materials, i noticed that i progressed much faster.
Going digital also helped me since i never had to worry about materials 😂
I was so shocked when i went back to traditional medium, i was able to do better because i wasn't afraid to experiment on colors anymore.
4:18 - 5:00 this entire part just made me realize "oh wait its fine if im a little lost even tho i want this as a career" it like took the weight of my shoulders
I really advise others to copy first. I still learn but I can now copy beautiful arts and I didn't know anything about it earlier
Step 1: commitment
Step 2: commitment
Step 3: commitment
Keep doing that until you reach the final step: *actually good* 👍👏👌!!!
but what if art block?
@@arlynnecumberbatch1056
Listen to music, think of a story, and then find the moment you loved!
This would help you draw what you want but I think the music will depend on your mood!
Then just try to find a reference if you're having problem with body parts, like hands!
@pokejinwwi what standards? Im lost
Blue period was genuinely why I i started art lmao
I've been drawing for nearly 7 years. However, I've made more improvement in a few months using the advice you put in this video than I did in the rest of all my time combined!
It was wild seeing Pewdiepie improve so much in just 100 days.
Point 1 and 3 are both big deals too.
Dig the forest analogy
4:59 now this is inspiring
as someone who works for a mangaka and makes my own manga
i see this as the absolute truth
Very well said! :)
another tip i feel is important for improving is 'fail faster'
you learn alot from screwing up, so stop trying to perfect and save something that isn't working. speedrun into the failure, and start again with your new experience
It's true that it's my perfectionist friends (me included) tend to be the ones that suffer from not improving despite putting in more hours. Got rid most of that habit in college where I had to submit something by the end of the class even if they're bad and can't afford to get stuck up with corrections.
3:05
At this rate I exited full-screen just to like this video seeing I already liked whan you were talking about 15min process 😂
It’s almost like drawing is a skill that can be learned or something
it seems obvious in hindsight, but it's very easy to forget...
good vid
I wouldn't recommend drawing every day and you may not be able to find time as you may have school or work. it also depends on what style your going for, i have my own main style but i can do other styles if i need to but it would take more time, alot about art depends on what the person wants and not just anime girls
that "shut the fuck up" was epic
caption is wild
I Used to draw daily for up to 45 minutes, but since then I’ve cut down on that
I really understand the discomfort and confusion, we all think of pewd as this guy who doesn't even have a university and who became famous by being funny and we find out that he is already better in a short time than something we have dedicated a lot of time to obviously generates a lot of discomfort and jealousy.
but the truth is that 99% of us learn to draw badly, I am a supporter that it doesn't take 20 years to be a great artist, those who say that is because it took them 20 years to learn something using mediocre methods and not having discipline, everything they learned in those 20 years could learn it in 10, and they would be much better even.
my point is that to learn you have to learn how to learn (yes, I know how it sounds) but it is true.
He is tremendously talented, didn't need a uni degree to achieve success he figured everything out as he went along and even becoming "famous by being funny" needs deep understanding (either consciously or subconsciously) of human psyche. He is an outlier and regular people shouldn't compare their development against him just like no college basketball player beats themselves down that they aren't Michael Jordan or Yao Ming (or maybe some do idk).
@@hocuspocus9713 now adays u dont need a degree for anything. people only care if u can do the thing and they will hire u. unless it somthing u have to to school for like a surgen or lawyer. plus uni is a wase of money because alot of people dont even get a job after spending all that money on school
@@williammclean6594 It's more nuanced than that I think. If you are a superstar in whatever field you'll get noticed purely on your merits and will be able to create your own path without the degree. The degree is a seal of approval by an authority for average people to show they have X skill and can do it competently. For your last point where a lot of people don't get a job after school it depends whether that skill is in demand or not (which is something a lot of young people don't find out until after they finish the degree). A degree in software engineering will take you much further than a degree in performing arts for example.
I’m glad I stumbled upon this video. What I’m kind of going through right now, is what I call a ‘fandom mid-life crisis’
I got into the JJBA fandom and started drawing characters in the show’s style. In 2019. I think I fully fell off somewhere in 2022, because the fandom was slowly dying, and it felt like I had nowhere else to go to show my work.
In 2023 when the Super Mario Bros movie came out, the hype exploded and everyone was talking about it. I drew my first fanart of the Nintendo franchise in May of that year, and my engagement had skyrocketed like I’ve never seen me ever dream of. So I continued.
Until a few weeks ago, for some reason I started getting back to my JJBA art style roots. I’m always usually active in art and would post something every 3-5 days. But I haven’t posted anything Nintendo in a week and a half. And now it feels like I’m stuck once again. Between motivation, and trying to reignite my love for it.
This video reminded me to maybe thinking about just…taking breaks, drawing what I loved. I’m trying to get my motivation back.
"Watch Blue Period". LMAO.
It is quite depressive though.. I have to get up-to-date again.. been a few years.
WOW THANK YOU SO MUCH!
It's hard not to lose optimism in my own skills when i'm constantly comparing and contrasting the diffrent art piece's I make to someone a bit more recognizable.
Since I'm quite hyperactive and introverted, I tend to think that my skills are inferior to everyone elses because I think that I don't try hard enough.
That bring said though, I've been working on a nearly 1000 paged graphic novel for 2 years and couldn't help but feel the insecurities of my normal bouts of emotional dissonance that I feel on a constant basis and just think that I am inadequate enough to keep going on with a passion project of mine, but then I realized an important thing that still keeps me going. It isn't my style.
I know that definitely sounds ignorant, but I don't really think highly of myself so I let my lustful feelings of infuriority wash me away without ever fully realizing what makes my art stand out.
I go for a most gothic, art deco, horror approach, barrowing inspiration from such beloved artists as Junji Ito and some more abstract figures more accustomed to Salvador Dali.
I don't show people my art, so I feel a lot less confident as a result. There was a lot I could take in from this video that I thought of a intrinsically helpful to what I want to make out of my novel, so for that, I greatly appreciate the importance of progression in art and see a new opportunity for growth and change.
Thank you 😊.
I’ve had many times of burnout,and i just need to say,DONT TRY TO HARD TO THE POINT ITS NOT FUN. I tried really studying it and it just DID NOT work.
I can draw but i cant color
Highlights shadows and blending, i simply do not have the tools for
sick
I tried his challnge and currently in day 24 just wanted to share
Art is diversity. Anyone can become an artist. Even a certain german war criminal wanted to be an artist at some point 💀
"You might look at your art and think its 'bad'"
Im not a daily drawer. I do a project at most once a year and thats it. It takes a long time since its off and on but still. Good tips
Yeah maybe I'll try my best too
The point your making is really countering the title
