I'm actually so worried because of my difficulty with creativity 😭 I rarely come up with imaginative concepts, but I feel like that's a skill you acquire once you progress enough
I actually think it's to do with casting off the restraints of your reality, understand how much society shapes your views on literally everything, and consistently ask yourself the questions "why is this like that, how is that functioning like that". The hows and the whys, or just being curious in general leads to internal dialogues such as "ok but what if...?" and then a concept forms from that. Spend more time daydreaming and get the hell off of social media- the creativity killer.
i never saw that way. So you can grind creativity? Just like working on fundamentals?
@@raneanubis raneanubis are you creative?
@@nockin7976 Yes indeed. I can't turn off creativity even if I tried, because my source comes from the Creator of the Universe- *God* the Father of creation. I've never had a creative block in my life thanks to God. I heavily advise getting to know Him!
Same. I wish i coulde practice or study creativity in some way so I could be more creative 😢
I think a lot of artists get all the inspiration and creativity from actually referencing something. I don't know if that makes sense 😅
You lowkey have to at least I do I can't really freestyle as good as I used to I feel like the better you get at drawing you have to rely on photos and reference.
Just look at Picolo. He became successful off of drawing fanart of the Teen Titans and got to work with DC to make 3 books. I’ll go his route lol
@@DaArtist_1EARTHANGEL eventually you have to move past reference once you know how to draw something and make your own work and not copy all the time
I see nothing wrong with that. Usually I have so many references,
I end up with something totally different anyways(boost to my creativity)
@@williammclean6594 Referencing is a necessary tool for any artist. There’s no moving past it
Love these hypotheticals!!! Without creativity, we def wouldn’t have tech either
The best/worst thing about creativity is that it is unique and quite unintentional. I think the difficulty is giving ourselves the freedom to be creative.
Huh? Disagree on "unintentional"... and "challenge" seems more apropos than "difficulty". Also, I had to read into what you wrote, which means I had to think. Now I'm tired. Levity.
The fact that I’m in such a long art block that I can’t get out of and am not as creative as everyone else is depressing to me.
Damn Josh your art has improved sooo much since I watched you last! ( And it was awesome back then as well!) You're crushing it 🤩 you deserve all the success my guy 🙌🏼 X
It's been awhile now since I last saw your vid two months ago and furthermore, my art school for the first semester is coming to an end.
Made a few friends along the way and it was quite a learning experience for me. I can't wait to try out digital drawing again. Just enjoying myself with today's video before tackling my school assignments.
Thank you for explaining this so well! I personally feel that the skill of creativity goes way beyond what people normally call, "Talent". Personally I've loved drawing ever since I was a kid, but that creativity to put things together to create an artwork that truly reflects YOU is something that I started developing only 2 years ago. And it's made me feel SO GOOD about my works! I still have a long way to go & to gain popularity as an artist, but I'm glad that I'm creative enough to figure it out & work my way through
Only one thing wrong with this video: 8:57 "If you watch Arcane, you might enjoy League of Legends". This is incorrect, nothing will result in the enjoyment of League of Legends. 😂
Seriously though, great video! Creativity and the desire to express that is core to any sort of art creation.
I can appreciate the philosophical stuff, but I'd really like to hear more about practical stuff, like composition, lighting, skin tones, perspective, different surfaces, etc
PFFT- he has loads of other videos like that idk maybe try watching those? But this video is really helpful to people who feel this way including me
This is a good talk to hear today. Thank you for this good and positive mindset!
Your a blessing man for real, the last two videos have revealed alot of things for me. Thank you, your impact is felt🔥🔥🔥💜
I was just looking at UA-cam channel while practicing shapes and I wished u would update soon , I'm bunny! Your biggest fan josh😂💛💛, I'm so glad u updated!

"It's you being you..." Love it. Great video, important message
ergojosh out here describing my daily life and saying it's a hypothetical scenario
Well done video it’s good to hear how important and diver our creativity is
i swear this guy is a straight up art therapist
I be waiting for ya videos g you be inspiring with your topics and your work flow I recently bought a Mac Studio and everything to edit quality videos faster
I can be creative, but I usually need some kind of spark of an idea to do it, so either fairy tales/nursery rhymes and ref photos tend to give me that spark of creativity. I can come up with original ideas usually in dreams but often forget to write it down in the middle of the night 😝
Thank you so much for videos like these
yessss Josh wisdom first thing!! ❤
Thankyou for this video
Hey Josh, you provided some real insight with this one. Thank you
Thoughts before video: Been feeling lately like I’m simply not a creative enough thinker to be an artist. A lot of times I can’t just have a cool idea or concept, I gotta look for inspirations and references. For a lot of things. Back in highschool when we would be given prompts to draw, unless I was interested, I couldn’t think of anything cool, somewhat unique or anything really. And even now I started doing a little graphic design work and I never have a vision of what I want to do, I just put things together until it looks good. Feels aimless, and not like a really creative thinker.
After video:
thanks a lot😀 bro

Hey! I've been using procreate for a while now and i've noticed that the app severely lowers the amount of layers you can have if you make the canvas bigger. I was wondering what size canvas you use for detailed art, as i have trouble picking between layers and quality.
I actually started to learn how to draw to learn what creativity is. I have a lot of unhealed trauma from abuse that didnt give me a chance to be a kid or explore things. im hoping art will teach me, because i notice I am so very bland and can never really come up with anything fun or unique or stylish, and have little imagination.
Great video, Josh. Thanks for this one :-)
I recently started using references photos😂
great video. great drawings. great talk
Your drawings look like a real portrait to slight anime
My style: Really good at realism but loves anime but doesn't want to fully commit to the style + I like noses.
🎉
I say this all the time I’m an artist but I feel as though I lack creativity
Define success... because I know of a lot of financially successful artists who aren't very creative (in their art).
An artist who is financially successful who finds a compromise between creativity and staying financially stable.
Or even just enjoying what you’re doing.
Hi Josh, big fan; I was wondering can you comment or possibly make a video at a later time how you use the app regarding the clarity slider and how you get those unique ways to those shadows on your art.
The second question is this app separate from procreate, and if so where do you get it.
Thank you
Joseph
Thank
the butts are great ergo. so creative
Listen to earl nightingale for the secret to success (and failure). That is all 👍👍
You can't draw upon an empty visual library. You're only as good as your Reference. But yeah. You have to learn to take that basis and make something new
Instagram had me unfollow your account! I could tell cause the last pic i saw, of the spy family chick, was hearted still and the one under that. Wtf!
Anyways, great video! I so love your content, your art and words are so unique and all consuming!!
Many ppl are 100% just technique...
"There is no original thought" Mark Twain
This has helped me so much with breaking out of my "no references skin"
The thing that hath been, it is that which shall be; and that which is done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun. (Ecclesiastes 1:9)
There is nothing wrong with using references. There is nothing we truly own. I hate to say it, but AI has also addressed this issue as well. I'm personally not a fan of this technology, but the way it recomposes its resources isn't that different from humans. We also just take samples from things we are interested in, copy art styles from artists we like, and so on. We are slowly creating our own by stealing from others. There is even a famous book called “Steal like an Artist”, so it's basically an open secret. It's definitely an interesting debate going forward concerning what we call “intellectual property”.
Hey now... there's a reason genii wear the same thing every day... it frees up the brain power that would've been wasted on deciding an outfit, to be applied elsewhere.
Ah, true spoken words. Unfortunately recently the conversations around AI art completely killed any will for me to keep being creative since in 5/6 years every single logo or picture will be AI generated. Music and writing probably too. I just want to end this decade long chapter of my life and move on since it's a waste of time that won't feed me or my soul. But if the future is bright and this will stabilise maybe I will recover that huge pool of happines coming from being creative and improving at my craft.
I don’t think that will be the case. For art you need to be creative. AI isn’t creative. It just can make results with things you input to it. That’s not creativity. An AI is not able to "think outside of the box".
AI is definitely a gamechanger, but I think its capabilities are really being overestimated. I think once all the dust settles, it's going to be more of a tool for artists than a replacement.
The world will ALWAYS need artists. Even for AI art. I do not know if this is true for all forms of AI art but how I learned it works is that it has a database of art and photography. To create its art, it simply pulls from this database. AI cannot create without the art it is pulling from existing in the first place. We need humans in order to create art. Period. AI art would not exist if artists weren't out here whipping their art up. I guess my argument here is that AI art is "art" but nowhere near the same category as "art" that is made by humans since it RELIES on us artists in order for it to "create". And as the above comment said, AI cannot be creative in the way a human is creative. Therefore, the world will always need artists.
Not to dismiss, but I’ve always found this sentiment to be really weird. I only started to learn how to draw and produce art this month and I’m doing it for me, no one else. So what if AI (which is being vastly overestimated) kills some jobs. If you make something unique that people like and want then there you go. Don’t let AI kill your passion.
Welp I'm screwed! I thought the title was sarcastic and trying to give hope to non creatives but nope :/
So much empty 😀
Woah I’m early
I think we will be Caveman 😅
Early!
нига(((
Woohoo first comment
Lol I don’t have creativity and if I did it’s not working 😂. I can literally only draw what I see😢
Duh
Am I the first???
Do you? The most popular artists just draw the same things, to be honest. Cute girls always sell, not much creativity involved. You're actually a prime example of this.
🤓
Man no hit food with rock 😢
human die 😔 no evolution
Bruh draw with a pencil you a cheater lmao I'm out ✌️.
Cope harder.
Have you ever tried digital? The transition from traditional to digital is a learning curve in itself. I'm sure Josh can crush it with a pencil! :)
Low quality bait.
