These 5 Tips Will Make You a BETTER Artist - Розваги
I always found myself struggling so much with the first tip. Especially as a content creator, I feel like everything I make has to be filmed and has to have a visual impact so people will click on my videos for engagement. I feel like I wasn't improving so much this way. Now that I have been drawing and painting for myself and stepping back to be inspired by other artists like you, I feel like my art feels more free and I'm enjoying the process more! Thank you for always sharing your work!
taking a step back can be a really good idea!
It sucks that creating content can feel like such an exhausting job and that creators are put through so much pressure to perform and always one-up themselves.
Your content is great and a big part of what makes it enjoyable is you! Glad you're feeling better with that approach of doing it for yourself
I struggle with the exact same thing! I feel so much pressure to make something impressive each time I create, because I want it to be "video worthy." Everytime I move away from that mentality, I find that my work improves and I enjoy myself more. It's a tricky balance to maintain though!
I've been a fan of your art and videos for ages, so I am so honored to hear that my work inspires you! Always look forward to your videos and posts! 🩷🩷 Thank you for leaving such a lovely comment!
I so feel this! My freelance colleagues and I often talk about this as a struggle of being a content creator. Everything becomes content and it doesn’t always have a good impact on that ‘play’ state of mind and therefore the end result. Finding the right balance is definitely a thing 😅
for tips 1 and 3, a lot of people would benefit from trying the 30 brushstrokes exercise. Paint Coach has a whole video about it but the idea is to pick a simple subject (like a piece of fruit) and try to paint it using 30 brushstrokes or less. it really helps with simplifying, learning to paint looser, and mixing transitional colors because there's no blending allowed. it takes less than 30 min to get to the complete "piece" so you can do tons of studies in a short time!
Super random request but I would loveee to see a whole video on you just making random fruit/vegetables using Ohuhu markers.
Sofia Pavan Macias is a great gouache and marker artist
She also uses ohuhu markers
Also she loves fruit ❤
I love her channel
@@Bkt27 thank you for the recommendation!!

Thank you for the tip number 3. I always focus on the details that sometimes my artwork looks lifeless. Instead of incorporating tiny details I wanted to capture the mood of the painting but eventually failed to do so as my eyes always would find those fine details.
Thank you for the tip to squint eyes. I squinted at a reference photo and it really really helps to understand the proportion and color palettes.
Thank you for watching! I am so glad you found it helpful. I find myself squinting at the reference almost more than I look at it normally. 😄 Happy creating!
Wonderful fish and tips, thanks for sharing! 😉 I love the floaty glowy colors, like a puffy fish space cloud~ For other animal suggestions, I'd love to see your take on other scaly or slimy friends like lizards, snakes, frogs, especially ones with vibrant colors.
Thanks so much for watching! I love "puffy fish space cloud" 😂🩷 I really want to paint more scaly or slimy guys! I think lizards and snakes could be really fun! 😍
As someone who used to do art as a child and now 24 and starting art again. This was helpful. ❤
That is amazing to hear! ❤️ Happy creating!
Thanks. Your on screen presence is great. I love it. I love your painting too❤❤🎉🎉🎉.
Thank you so much!! ✨💛✨
about art theft vs. inspiration:
in one of my older sketchbooks I 1:1 copied a painting of an artist I liked. It was a big learning opportunity for me as it used deep shades in watercolor that I was not confident in yet, but it was just a copy of his work. I did credit him by making it clear it was his work (and also it's my personal sketchbook so nothing was wrong with this anyways)
But now what I do is gather an artists work and then take my own reference that I interpret in their style!
I drew myself in the style of Scott Christian Sava, in the style of Kasey Golden, etc.
And for yours I would do the same.
I learn so much more about the style that way and also how I would personally use it or what aspects I'd change.
I liked your idea. I will try the same as well.
I always struggle to study artists' paintings when I try to copy their art but never been able to apply the style in another art piece.
Thank you for this idea.
Thank you for sharing this with us, I think that is a fantastic way to learn! Even doing a 1:1 copy is so useful (as long as it's credited if shared of course!) Artists like Michelangelo learned their craft by copying other artists work. I don't think it is something that should be looked down upon at all!
I really love the idea of trying to work in other artist's styles with different references as well! 😄
Great tips, thank you! I really resonated with number 1 because lately I've been trying to let go of expecting a masterpiece everytime and I just doodle, then experiment with shapes and colors and often I end up doing something even prettier than I expected because I am not putting unnecessary pressure on myself and my hand is more free? Idk how to explain it, but it works!
great tips! when I first started I didn't keep a sketchbook yet now I have tons all over the place and would never not have one 😊
So glad you found it helpful! ❤️ I am also a sketchbook fiend haha!
You always remind me to enjoy art and creating. At the moment i am pushing too hard at something and hating it. Your video has signposted me out of this hole. Always so light and bright, you help me relax my artistic muscles and breath. Thank you 😊❤
Ah your fish painting came out so pretty, I love it! Thank you for sharing your helpful tips, I think personally I will start a new secret sketchbook just for myself. I think that could help a lot with my art-related fears. Can't wait for your next video 🤩
I would love to see you paint some birds, maybe some cute little ducks!
You and your art so beautiful
Thank you! ✨💛✨
Very good tips...! 🥰 💖✨
Thanks for your advice for growing artists 😊👍✨
LOVE the fish, looks wonderful🥰
some of the very best art advice that I've ever heard, especially tip no.1, thank you Emily, thank you for sharing and very best wishes from England
Thank you ✨ you inspired me to have my own art youtube channel❤ I love you 🌿✨
Aw that's so amazing!! 🥰✨
adorable fish painting and great tips! how about a colourful budgie next? they're so cute!
Thank you! 🩷 A budgie is a great idea, they are adorable!!
Beautiful drawing 🥺💗, thank you very much for the advice 💗 😊
My pleasure 😊 Thanks for watching! 💖
It’s always time for a cosy cuppa when Emily uploads a video ❤
I love that! ❤️ Enjoy your cosy cuppa! 😊
I love your art so much! It's always so inspiring! I would love to see a capybara or a quokka in your painting style 😊❤
I find your style so interesting and your voice really soothing 😊
Thank you so much! 💛
Cute fish painting❤❤. I enjoyed this video❤
Thank you so much! ❤️
Ahh I think these are amazing tips to keep in mind especially since Inktober is coming up!!! Also I just love the cardigan/blouse that you’re wearing!! ❤
Such a good video!! I’ve been in such a rut creatively and these tips are great!! I’m hoping to learn some new mediums and really be less judgmental about my learning process!! Can’t wait for your next video!! 💞💖
Thank you so much Maren! I think embracing the learning process is the best way to improve! 🥰💕
Omg that fiahy is so Adorable 😩💖 I just started and finished a watercolor sketchbook in a week to improve my skills and learn how to paint with minimal brush strokes, I'll definitely do it again considering what you mentioned in your video, thank you for sharing 🥰
Thank you so much! I really want to get better at watercolors, I'm going to try doing something similar! 🥰
I think you would be a beautiful subject for a painting.
I would love to take one of your classes :)
Ah thank you! If I ever get around to creating one, I will for sure announce it on the channel! 😄🩷
Lol Tip number 5 "'Learn from artists you admire" That would be you for me 😂. I always wanted to paint similarly to artists like you that produce colourful, vibrant pieces of artwork that aren't extremely defined ( which makes an artwork more interesting to look at imo).
Thank you so much 💛 I'm so glad I can be one of those artists for you! I completely agree with you about painting everything overly defined 😆
so nice
I had to replay tip no. 1 multiple times because it's scary how I know that, but don't practice it. I think I just needed to hear someone else say it, lol
I really needed to hear tip no. 1 a few years ago too! 😂 I hope hearing it out loud helps to take some pressure off 💛
😊 ❤
Would you recommend polycromos or prismacolor for someone new to colored pencils?
I think I would recommend polychromos, I find them to be a little more beginner friendly as you can layer them so much more. They also last longer which makes them a great investment in my opinion! 😊
❤❤❤❤❤
obsessed w this fish painting, is there any chance you would consider selling it ?? its so beautiful 🖤🖤
Thank you so much! ❤️ I would absolutely sell it! I am planning on selling prints of all of the animal paintings as well, if that is something that interests you. If you would like to contact me about buying the original, you can email me at emhuesart@gmail.com 😊
@@emhuesart i sent you an email yesterday ! just letting you know here in case it went to spam or something : )
@@elliotseph6342 Thank you so much! I just sent a response :)
it's always such a pleasure to watch you paint these sweet pieces.. thank you , emily .. Norakag
Thank you Nora!! Always a pleasure receiving a comment from you! 😊
and.... im the 666th like on the video
Thank you!! 🥰
Is it weird that I hate the word art and artist
Like it's gotten thrown around and used so lightly that it's completely lost meaning
I much prefer illustrator, draftsman, painter etc...
