You perfectly describe the anxiety bit of traditional art. It explains the dozens of unfinished pieces I have in sketchbooks; too afraid to proceed in fear of ruining them. Excellent video, Rob.
"Anxiety", "too afraid to proceed in fear of ruining them"
That pretty much sums up my view of art: If you can't draw something nice, just make a mess and call it "Abstract".
I half remember a quote from an artist that went something like, "When I was a child I learnt to draw like an adult then it took me 60 years to learn how to draw like a child".
Picasso.
Hey Bob! Glad to see you posting again. This really hit home for me. I am somewhat reluctantly stuck in "realism". I draw dog portraits and have gained some local attention based on 20+ years of doing realistic pieces to capture the "exact" likeness. I love drawing no matter what style, but I want to be more expressive and do more of my own thing. It's hard when you have a clientele base expecting the usual. And I do agree with you, realism is far easier than more abstract! I'm going to wind down my commission work this year so I can spread my wings creatively. Please keep the videos coming, you always have great insight.
I appreciate everything you've taught me. The practical knowledge you have imparted to me has brought a great deal of happiness into my life because you have brought creative goals I have that are important to me within reach by saving me time, $, and frustration of trying to figure it all out on my own. Thank you sharing your gifted creativity, your knowledge, experience and advice. Your content is also uplifting because you have a great attitude and demeanor. I appreciate your work here on youtube very much and your toys and sculptures make me smile! Thank you
So lovely. I’m going to show this to my yr8 art students first thing Monday morning.
This is how I work, too! Very well articulated! I look forward to more videos!
G'day Bob , good to see you back on air .
Nice piece of art .
Robert, your approach to art is just so wonderful. Grateful for every single thing you post!!! Who knew the Fabrication master was a great 2D artist as well!!
Wow, thank you Nicole
Yay!!! You're back. I missed you & I love it when you explore into other areas of art. Great 'Picasso' too :D
Definitely another vote for this type of content, Thank You Robert! Whether I'm using paper or computer I find that just getting started with *something* and iterating over and over helps break through creative blocks. I still find it much faster to loosely iterate on paper then go to the computer once a design is more fleshed out. With the pain and numbness in these beat up old hands, whether it's pen/ink or digital drawing tablet, the line quality looks much the same. :D
LOVE THIS!!!!!
Absolutely!!! ❤️❤️❤️
Love what you are saying here. Totally agree with it all.
I like hearing your artists POV. A yes vote from me for this content as well.
Your the GOAT!
Go Robert, go! Keep them coming. They are great
thats amazing Robert!
LOVE LOVE LOVE!!! I'm going to do this with my g'daughter in our next "video art session!"
I love this! Giving creativity freedom!
Great video. Looking forward to more
Neat.
You're BACK!!!! Woohoo! We missed you so much!
I planned to take a long family-oriented break, but at the end of it I got a bad cold, and so my break was a lot longer than I wanted. Very happy to be back.
@@RobertTolone You add so much positivity to the UA-cam realm, Sir! So glad you are doing well. Cannot wait to see what this year brings!
Love creating things this way
I enjoyed your mold making videos, but I'm very interested to hear what you have to say about drawing!
The first trade I taught myself was leatherwork. Leather is very different from most materials that are commonly worked with because once you cut it or mark it, that's it; like that forever. You can't pull your stitches like with fabric, because the holes are still there. You can't glue it back together. You can't weld it, or melt it back down. It's just cut wrong forever, and you have to start again. Speaking about anxiety, I would sit for hours, just staring at the cut lines I had marked, unsure. I eventually made myself start trusting myself, and my experience, but it took years for me to reach that point.
Actually very nice
For me, art is the process not the product. The feeling you get from creating something that has never been seen before is exhilarating. If you enjoy doing it, then that is more important than what anyone else’s opinion is of you art. I believe art should be a verb, it is something you do, not necessarily something to look at.
i need to hear this. thanks!
As a non-musical non-artistic person, the idea of copy this realistically makes sense. But telling me to draw what I feel, might as well be telling me to warp the space time continuum with psychic powers I don't have.
That's an awesome painting, Bob! I like it.
So ... what if I am an artist AND a writer? ;D
I wonder, if you like Picasso's art. Do you?
Can you type quicker than you speak? Can you speak quicker than you think? So how can you draw quicker than you feel?
Mr. Tolone, so what exactly were you feeling when you drew this? I'm into realism and don't understand abstract art at all... So much so, that I think that Picasso was the worst "Artist" in history. Thanks for the input!
I feel nothing
Realism is a lot harder. It requires much more skill and technique. There is absolutely nothing appealing about this piece.
An old friend of mine is a schizophrenic and this is the kind of stuff he produced. Everything was unreal and disjointed. Faces of people were always distorted and usually were attached to a non-human body.
If this is a reflection of "what you feel," you are not well. Art is supposed to be beautiful and uplifting. To inspire to greatness.
I personally enjoyed what he drew. It's appealing. It's interesting.
I think you should take a second look at yourself and ask why you felt the need to be so negative today. It is an awful thing to compare Mr. Tolone to an unmedicated schizophrenic just because he shared how his artistic process works.
To say that human creativity only qualifies as art when it's uplifting just goes to show you're a real lousy 'expert.' Way to disparage most of humanity's collective artistry.
You are a foul and cruel little creature at present. Please grow and change as a person.
Beautifully done. Anytime I've ever tried to be this freeform, I find myself ending up with something that doesn't really feel like anything. You really perfectly took a bunch of "random" lines and made a whole crowd. I feel like it's hard to be abstract without seeming arbitrary? Maybe some of that is self criticism on my part.
I missed your laugh 🤭
Also, I love the drawing. I can't put it into words exactly, but it's what I love about you.
❤️❤️❤️
I'm an artist as well. I agree this style is difficult. Realism is difficult in a different way. Cubism and surrealism pushes bounds. Even when I attempted these to push these bounds, I still shove itnfull of realism, closing the creative gap. Even if I did automatic drawing, I still pulled realistic and surreal objects and pictures out. Not sure if I CAN stay in the realm of "unreal." Very difficult..
Always love to see new content from you 😄
great video! I wholeheartedly agree with what you're saying, can't wait for more! :)
Love it! So cool!
What makes abstract art so interesting is that, you can't rely on meaning to draw attention and interest. It all comes down to how you feel about the chosen colors, shapes, contrasts, materials, etc. Something seems - or rather feels - a certain way to you, but you can't fully explain why. There's something primal about it, something connected to the core of human psyche. It's wild how different pieces made on different days, in different environments, moods, etc. can be, and how different the same piece can feel on different days. It's just so exciting and fascinating! 🤩
i like letting my hand be guided directly by the artistic muse, but i fear my limited biology inherently influences the result. that is to say, the proportions and connections of my appendages and limbs used for drawing beget uncomfortable and comfortable movements which subconsciously affect the direction of the strokes. but, the non-purist would have no qualms with this method.
Wow, very inspiring! I relate with this way of expression. Thanks a lot!
