    the not scrolling through tiktok is VERY true, i used to do it all the time, its been several months since then and i'm generally more motivated for everything now
    however, i typically don't eat sugar in the middle of the day but i feel like it made no difference whether i did or not, on days where me and my family had donuts for breakfast i never really experienced feeling less motivated

    • @ArseniKatsela
      @ArseniKatsela  2 місяці тому +10

      Yep, you start to feel more freedom when you stop doomscrolling!
      If you don't have any troubles with sugar and it doesn't affect you - than ther is no problem at all, it's great :)

    Wow this is such a perfect scheme and habit!! But then you remember you are a student and you just have 30% of the time needed (and also has to studdy for tests between 2 and 2 weeks.....)
    But seriously, this helps quite a lot, having a goal and looking straight for it, it may seen obvious but i'm sure we forget that most of the time! Another thing i want to point out is to start with smaller goals! Your art won't change from night to day, and everyone learns in their own time, so remeber to allways compare your art with your older art, instead of comparing to other artist's, you'll see how much you've grown, and you should be proud of how far you came and how bright is the spark of love for art that keept you going!!

    • @ArseniKatsela
      @ArseniKatsela  3 місяці тому +5

      You're right! It's actually very important to learn to make small consistant steps and see a great progress after :)
      About the time I'd say that 10h a week is enough to improve skills quickly, but only consider the right and aimed practice (to not waste this time).
      Wish you the best and happy drawing sessions! :)

    The tip on sugar is heavily underrated , just yesterday i was feeling tired and sleepy by 11am and i couldnt figure out why . Turns out i ate a stupendous amount sugar.
    I saw your video just after waking up today, and decided to stay off sugar for a bit , and OMG i got so much work done its actually insane .

    This is probably the best tutorial on this entire site I'm truly impressed.
    I am unfortunately currently a student in my final year of study so free time is hard to come by but this video made me pretty motivated to try a jab at my dream again and i will try to implement these methods.
    Thank you so very much for this.

    For those that can't schedule drawing during tueir best hours because of work or something this still works but you just have a bit more resistance. If thats the case try getting a reward and a timer. Set the timer or perform your drawing tasks in smaller chunks for a bit and when it goes off give yourself the reward and your brain will eventually start to associate drawing with that reward and expect it.

    I like the pace at which you speak, as a brazilian it's obviously easier to understand when someone speaks more slowly even with an accent. This was the longest ad I have seen, but great video, the tips are valid.

    That sugar thing is so true. I made the mistake of having coffee with sugar every morning. When I switched to plain green tea I realized that was what made me feel weary.

    i think this might be a habit that could actually help me. i think moving all the instant gratification stuff to the end of the day in order draw earlier in the day because doing nothing would be more boring might actually be something i can enforce as it is bit different from a reward system which doesn't work because of the "i could just get the reward now and not do work" logic because there is no reward for work, the fun stuff is simply only allowed in other part of the day and indulging in the rewards has nothing to do with doing work and somehow it feels easier to enforce than a reward system. plus it aligns with my goals of trying to eat better and use less social media. i think i can at least try this.

    This way I have clean references without any distractions

  • @gibbous3931
    @gibbous3931 16 днів тому

    So, I just recently got interested in a project I’ve had in my head since I was 8 years old. I was exposed to anime at the age of 5 and video games at 3. So a whole story has been festering in my mind since 8 years old and adding all the fiction I’ve experienced from that point to now, I’ve got a pretty dope story in mind. Only issue is, I’m not the most ambitious person. In fact, if I end up doing something, I might just straight up stopping doing it after once for months. Like posting on this channel. Plus, I have a lot planned for myself. Getting better at drawing and writing stories, I wanna get into voice acting, I wanna further my practice at martial arts and further my practice with music. I know all that would spread me too thin but, those are the things I love the most. So what’s a guy with so many goals with little ambitiousness to do???

      Fundamentals 🤣 you should be able to say out loud what you're doing and why. No masterpieces without knowing how and being all like "I could never do that again lolol" Noooo. That was never the goal with learning to draw. Am I right? Fundamentals make the most deafening difference in art skill. Process, perspective and form etc

    I think I'll try your idea of moving the leisure section of the day to the end of the day. It sounds like a good idea.
    Still, what I eventually figured out, after years of trying, is that I kind of hate drawing. I got a lot better at it over time, but I just didn't like the process. I ended up spending a couple years learning 3d modelling, and a couple going to college for programming, and I've made no money off of it so far. But I'm developing a game with what I learned, which is good, because I was motivated by being slightly annoyed at games not pandering exactly to my tastes.

    The only issue i run into is my personal live like those i game with, i enjoy it too much and tend to not stop until i have to sleep. Its a good thing they all have lives tho and aren’t on everyday…..😅

    Here’s my way of achieving this based on my own life. First off, put the damn gacha games down they ain’t doing jack diddly for you. Secondly, don’t listen to your discord friends wanting you to spend money for a ps5 to play with them when you damn well know what you’re really saving your money for, a drawing monitor and in general your decked out dream art set up. And lastly, the most important of all, miss ma’am, last time I remember you have a manga you want to publish and you’re the only one doing everything right now by yourself until you one day find the right people to help you out. So uh yeah get ur ass up and get to creating cuz I don’t see nobody else doing it for you 😂

    Honestly i get this spark all the time and it stays even when im being productive which i found interesting cause i don't really get the same art block stuff other artist get or like the motivation is always there to where i wanna get done with one drawing so i can start another like when it comes to drawing i have alot of focus to where if i don't i get like an urge

      It's what I do when 3d modelling, helps a lot with the motivation. Just remember that a lot of the most well known art is basically the xxth-century version of that.
