00:00 Best advice for young artists
Art is my only drug. I will never quit!!!
That’s the spirit! How long has Art been that healthy obsession of yours?
ever since I could pick up a pencil. The teachers couldn't even get me to do homework. @@TheArtMentor
That and coffee
@mykellederickpalad7883 I’m more a Diet Coke kinda guy lol
It's true when you said most people stop making art within 5 to 10 years. Most of my classmates quit art several months after graduating in 2018. It was very hard finding a job in animation for everyone in school but I didn't give up. I kept going. Now I'm a wayy better artist than I was in school. I have more confidence and I plan to continue trying my best to make money as an independent artist. :D
That’s great and I’m proud of you for continuing on! What do you think kept you going above your peers back then?
@@TheArtMentor God and my passion for art :)
I've mentored about a dozen people and it surprised me the ones who turned out great and made careers weren't the ones who learned quickly but the ones who never gave up. I find that people need help with loosening up more than learning the fundamentals. Practice only means something once you find what excites you and makes you smile and laugh. So long as you have fun, you'll never give up.
Absolutely! That’s great that you’ve been able to help as many people as you have 😁 what kind of program did you do that through?
I’ve also found that the top artists I knew in school stopped making art the fastest once they were out. It’s pretty common
I am starting my first art show at 21 years old soon, and I’m in crunch time and it’s very overwhelming to be honest! This video came to me at the perfect time, since I have always had doubts if I’m good enough to make it, esp now. I love your art and advice, thank you!
Wow that’s awesome! I wish you a lot of luck and fun putting your show together! I was about your age when I had my first show too. It’s tough but worthwhile 💪
What advice helped you the most in this video?
@@TheArtMentordefinitely “outlast your peers” 😂 if I make mistakes, then I can always learn from them as long as I keep going and working on my art. I hate feeling like I made the wrong choice or am wasting my time. But there is always time to change it up and still make it work somehow, and this was a great reminder of that! I also like the idea of working on your art an extra hour, since I find myself fixing my art long after I think I’m done lol. Thank you for the good wishes! Even if this show isn’t good, there is always the next one 😁
How doesn't your channel have 100k+? This is top level advice and content. By the way, could you talk about study/work time splitting? I say this because I see a lot of artists selling all their hours for commissions and not reserving a bit of their time to do actual observation studies, gestual, warm-ups etc.
Well thanks for your support, and I hope to get there soon 😁
Yeah absolutely! Also, have you seen my videos on how to maintain your challenge and growth while doing commissions?
There is something very satisfying about watching your work take shape. there are moments in the breaking wood and fire details that make me think of times where I'm stepping from that "I don't know about this one" to "Yeah, this idea is really coming together"
That's so nice of you to say! I'm glad to hear you appreciate my workflow. It's ugly in the beginning and comes together whenever you make art, isn't it?
Definitely a reminder for me to take my time & be in communities. I just want to charge in but then the world around me holds me back and act like a sniper while not supproting me.
Thanks for this vid. Will join the Discord even as a traditional artist.
Try it out, you’ll benefit from it immensely! Looking forward to seeing you in my discord server too. What kind of traditional art do you enjoy?
In my case, since I remember I have been making art, before I got carried away a lot by likes and comments, but now, I draw when I want and the truth is I don't care much about likes. I liked the advice, I guess I still have a lot to learn
That’s a great enduring attitude. If you rely on others’ validation, your not free to make what you enjoy, are you? Never mind how unsustainable that is
Yo! Good to see you again man!
Likewise! Did this video help you in any special way today?
@@TheArtMentor Yes, lol. If nothing else, it helped me realize that while I'm still a noob, my staying power will enable me to eventually outlast and outdo all my friends who used to do artwork and are starting to move on to new things. But while that was the highlight and what I needed to hear, I also enjoyed the other parts of the video as well!
@@TheArtMentor I'll be honest, this was not something I dreamt about doing as fiercely growing up, and I'm getting into artwork rather late at nearly 32 years old. Videos like yours helped me realize it's never too late to start or get gud. I'm also autistic, but my motor skill impairment is not significant enough to stop me from surpassing every artist I know.
@@TheArtMentor What you said about maintaining our momentum is great advice as well, because procrastination is something I suffer from, lol. And burnout is something I worried about as well, so thanks so much man. This video helped me immensely.
This was a great video, i’ll have to share it with my discord group. It can actually be applied to any sort of craft honestly, not just visual art ✨
I agree, and thanks so much! What did you find most helpful in this video?
@@TheArtMentor Definitely the part about putting in the time and not constantly trying to just find cheats. And realising that it’s not going to be great in the beginning but you can compare and learn from people you admire in a way that can give you motivation. All that perfectly applies to me trying to make a podcast as well
@invisorfaa5912 there are loads of good servers out there, and I think you’ll enjoy being a member of the right ones 😁
@@Lumolla what i do is i watch art youtube videos, see if they have a discord, lurk in the background for a week or two, and then introduce myself if/when i decide it’s a good one. My personal three favourites have been Sean’s, Kelsey Rodriguez’s, and Loishs. I tried about 20 of them but those have a nice balance of having activity but not full of bots and people only giving feedback when asked. I haven’t been mocked at all for my drawings in those
community is very important, great video. And yes, AI it's a false idol, nice analogy
Glad to hear you agree! Where have you found your own community of artists?
dope video
Glad to hear you thought so! What did you enjoy the most in this?
Man, these are all really valuable tips! The part with taking time really resonated with me, as I'm the person who's always worried that I may not be drawing fast enough, especially since I want to be a concept artist. I've come to realize speed isn't an important factor in creating good art, and I should allow myself to take the time I need to produce the best art I can. Sometimes I feel the need to come back another day to see if there are any mistakes I've missed, so taking extra time after saying "'I'm done" is actually super important. There's no pain quite like seeing all the mistakes you missed and changes you want to make to your artwork *_after_* already posting it 🥲
Yes!! I totally relate to this, I went thru my “instagram phase” where I would post so much, I’d get burnt out and not draw for months anyway lol. It’s much better to put in the time that **you** want instead of what the algorithm wants, esp cus the algorithm has done artists so dirty lately 😢
Oh yeah I’ve seen that and experienced it so much as well! Have you ever gone back to older works and worked it up more to improve it? I mentioned that in my art goals video if you have seen that too
@@TheArtMentorhahaha I'm thinking of revamping my old works all the time! I watch a lot of your videos so I must've come across it, but I'll go back and look for it.
I have a very full schedule on my industrial design career, so I try to do art every time I can between classes. However, it's only sketches and studies, and I really miss doing full rendered pieces on my Ipad but when I arrive home I'm exhausted :( any tips for that?
Yes absolutely! Have you seen my previous video on how to make art even if you feel too tired?
Thx for this
You’re welcome my friend! What helped you the most in this video?
Hey teacher how is the time to expand? Like to draw for example DnD and expand to pet portrait for example? Which is the perfect time ?? Also can u talk about illustration for commercial use?? Like book cover
Good question! I’d say when you’re comfortably getting clients in one genre, you’re safe to slowly expand, but then contract if you lose momentum. For commercial use, I’ve talked about that in my art contract video a bit. Have you seen that?
thanks a lot also i dint saw that video im gonna check out thansk again ^^@@TheArtMentor
