this weekend i discovered your channel and I watched your stories, your pep talks, basically 70% of your videos and I felt very inspired to draw more since I guess I used artblock as an excuse to not try to draw, when really I just didn't have enough inspiration to push myself to start drawing again and guess what! I suddenly got so many ideas while doodling hopelessly and even finished two drawings in one day which is very rare and I even learned some things about myself. Thank you for being a great inspiration to me.
I love that you do cactuses on these videos, because I feel like you are talking to me. Friends call me cactus... I love your art. And you inspired me to get back in to drawing and making stuff. Thank you.
Unicorn curry He says, "Bow to me, oh fantastical Unicorn curry beast. Hail me. Follow me to the depths of the underworld for together we can be strong. We are the fear in people's hearts. Also thank u, u is coot ursalf."
I didn't know you before now and I'm watching your 1080p quality videos. What you say and what I see relax me and my anxiety that some come with arrogance to tell me "you can't do anything at all and there is always someone who will do better than you, so don't try, you suck anyway" I know maybe it's stupid to write this to you and you won't even read it, but thank you, I love your videos and you make me smile so much with your moments of irony during the explanations, you are truly wonderful.
I’m finally being able to create again! It feels so good! I have become extremely depressed during the pandemic and have not drawn in months but i’m starting to again :)
Just wanted to thank you for saying the bit about mental health! Little reminders like that can really help to eliminate any thoughts of doubt and self-hatred that can start to creep in :))
Wow I just saw 2 videos and can I just say I'm in love. I feel like I finally found that great new friend who understands me and the how I struggle. I love how grounded you talk and the humour u put into it! The way u started this video by talking about the mindset is so relatable. After graduating I fell into a dark place and it took me a while to get to the slightly dark but overall light space again. I used and sometimes still beat myself up for not even finishing one sketchbook after graduation. What has become of me. But these words u used... idk... it hit me and it made me feel so okay about. Gonna watch the you are not a artist video now. But thnx. I'm already a fan!
I actually just did number one and I’m crying the difference in the two pieces incredible even though they use the same reference they look so different
Thank you for the bit about mental health. I struggle with mental health issues and it coming from an outside source rather than just my parents telling me it's ok really made me feel better about having issues feeling motivated to make art. Thank you ❤
I did a similar thing like the scribbling when I was a kid! :) I think we did this at school. You put random dots on paper and then connect these dots to form a shape. Then you use this shape as base to create an artpiece! :)
I call it creative dementia. It happens to me if I've spent months on a project, putting all my heart and soul (and time and skill and materials) into it, only for the client to fuck me over in the final stage, refusing to pay and rather scrapping the work. It makes everything feel so incredibly pointless, the art part of my brain completely shuts down. drawing a triangle becomes a problem. But so far, thanks to the insatiable gods of doodles and hand-made bookmarkers, I've managed to crawl out of each every time, usually after a couple of months, mostly doing the same as you suggest: Trying to re-learns how to have fun.
Your humor makes me think of Mr. Hattington in the Battle Block theater game. You are hilarious. New subsrciber here lol. I loved the paper cut out I am totally going to do that technique since I have been really getting into paper cutting recently!
Revisiting this video because I'm going through a serious rough patch with my art. Issues with my mom came to a head a few months ago and I've now completely blocked her out of my life. I was struggling with my art before that but since it happened I've barely picked up a pencil. I'm trying to go easy on myself but sometimes I wonder if my art bone is broken for good.
Damn... I really struggle with the : draw what you want vs draw what you think you should draw... and that sometimes puts a huge block for me... like, I suck at drawing hands, so I need to draw hands, but they are so fucking boring... so I draw nothing, because I need to draw hands.... but I DONT WANT TO!! Waaaaa... I get through it, but there are a lot of stern words with myself that I have to have... anywho, helpful video, love your channel x
omg I'm not sure how I ended here but I am happy, love this video. and it really helped me, thank you so much for these comedic help salutations from México
The skeleton hand in your intro look like the ones from a boss battle in a game terraria called skeletron prime. I just found it funny thats what it reminded me of! XD
Something that I do is to draw clouds. Like hey there's one fish defending the other one from sharks and they're above a volcano that is about to erupt
End discrimination against the pantsless!
Oh hai Alice
+Emily Artful وراتبىابن
“Da babes are good at scribbling.” 😂😂😂
NO Da babes is VERY good at scribbling lol
How did you know.... I'd pick 7? I am terrified.
Does anyone else put on an emily artful video and just draw while listening to it? It gets me in an “artsy” mood and she inspires me. 🎨💓
“HOW RUDE -5 STARTS ON YELP”
“I knew many of you would pick 7 so I gave you a ridiculous shape so LIVE WITH YOUR CHOICES!!” xD 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I actually picked 7...
V madonna
Picked 7 dammit
I picked 7 too... And like she did I lived with my choice and tried it out 😂
HOW DID SHE KNOWWWWW?! XD
I can't even express with words how much I love your sense of humor.
Me: *on my 10th Emily Artful vid*
Emily: Drown yourself in art related content
Me: *gasp* She knows!
Same.
“Or a foot...
With *hands for trees of course!”*
"Go outside the comfort of your own home"
2020: how about no
Emily: "Pick a number between one and ten!"
My brain: "12!"
Brain... stop. -_-;

I chose eight. I just finished drawing a piece inside of a heart. Stop reading my mind. It’s mine for a reason.
HALP!
Da babes is adorable!
Unicorn curry He says, "Bow to me, oh fantastical Unicorn curry beast. Hail me. Follow me to the depths of the underworld for together we can be strong. We are the fear in people's hearts. Also thank u, u is coot ursalf."
I draw eyes when I have art block or no direction of what I want to draw next. Sometimes spheres.
Same
Thank you! Omg me too.
"no ma'am you need to leave because you're not wearing any pants." 😂 that's weirdly specific, did this happen to you?
I didn't know you before now and I'm watching your 1080p quality videos.

Best video ever! 😂 art block can’t go against these tips! 😂 fire hydrant approval! 👍
Love you Emily! Hope da babes is doing good :)
"You need to leave because you're no wearing any pants" had me laughing. Automatically subscribed now.

I love your art so much Emily and you're really funny you're such an inspiration to me love ya😘
This first piece is stunning!! Im in love, I havent even finished the video yet I just had to comment _now_
When I randomly doodle I end up drawing eyes everywhere xD Just all over whatever I am drawing on, eyes everywhere!
I have been suffering from an extreme art block due to mental health issues and this actually helped me a lot. Thank you ☺️
I picked 7 so when the screen started shaking and you "live with your choices!!" I literally died
The Neverwinter's workshop song at 6:17 reaaaally killed me.
Anyway's, this really helped me to overcome my Artblock, thank's Emily!!

Holy shit, you're such a Personality. Love it!
this art block is the one I’ve been the most frustrated, especially because I have so many ideas and they just turn into crap..
Watching you fineline with a paintbrush gave me LIFE. Also, totally jealous of your shiny paintsQ

You just hit 500k!!
I picked 7 too, but 8 is my favorite number! GET OUT OF MY HEAD, EMILY

I love to draw but I have aphasia its hard to come up with something by myself any tips
Fabulous as usual.
I do feel bad that I can't get my art on a roll as much as others seem to do. I don't know is it minor depression or bad self-esteem to blame of.
You're funny. I love your voice. I could listen to you all day ha
*_LIVE WITH YOUR CHOICES_*
well now i guess i’m going to paint a fire hydrant
Thank you
