FOCUS: The Art of Productivity
Вставка
- Опубліковано 12 чер 2024
- Just wanted to ramble about a few topics. Hoping to help people with art block and some general productivity issues by offering some of my dumb perspectives. It gets a bit messy in parts.
Okay, for realzies this time, I'll get back to do proper art education videos.... well, after one more not-quite-art video.

I feel like Sinix is turning each of us into one of his masterpieces.
that sounds suggestive 🥺🥺😳
@@discoeur paint me like one of your sinix pieces!
Yeah, I just looked in the mirror and this sprout thing is growing out of my head, it’s crazy
I'm 24/7 feeling pressed by the tiny amount of time I have to enjoy life and learn the stuff I want to learn, get better, be productive and etc. It just feels like I can't fit it all in a lifetime, just sharing
Maybe that's because you're trying to "decide" your productivity. Maybe you just have to let your control go, trying to do what you can in a day and be patient, because the result isn't controllable, you have to let it show. After those results, you can think of a way on how to improve and the cycle repeats. But above those, you have to accept your current situation, if you have little time and little motivation, maybe you have to accept that you can't do everything you want in life, so you can focus on just a few things that are the most important for you, that way it's an easier and more realistic way to accomplish what is meaningful to you, I think that makes sense at least.
I've been thinking of this for a month, and I couldn't know what the problem was, but you just put it into words, thanks.
me too man
@@IuriSigma yea thats seems sensible, I'm gonna try and take that approach
@@ranguy1379 Cool that you think so man! I took that approach myself and I'm having a good time just doing what needs to be done in my routine and enjoying my time learning the things I wanna learn, step by step, collecting results as time passes by. So I do think it helps if you just live your current day the best you can, with time the results tend to pile up!
lol you caught me at the right time. I like listening to stuff as I draw but I always spend way to long searching.
CydoniaOS lol dude I know you from instagram. I'm @angeliekoart your work's dope.
ak k woah thank you! I really like your work as well. Reminds me of children fairy tales. So beautiful-
Es Croe totally agree- i feel as if overthinking and analyzing things makes it duller and numbs your overall objective. It helps to take a breaks o you can have a fresh look with open eyes.
I spend too long searching for reference. A question about some detail easily turns into a 3 hour investigation into some topic that only relates to my original question by the barest of threads.
Anguel Roumenov Bogoev A good place for references would be those eyewitness or science books. They have all sorts of pictures in them. As you read about them you start to gain the ability to draw them from memory. Also, sometimes it helps to sit down a while to learn your subject. You'll save time learning about it than going back and forth to have glimpses of it.
I can't tell if I'm too focused and obsessed with the state of society right now or if I'm just using it as a way to hide from confronting my art...
Try being an artist with ADHD. Every day is a challenge to “focus” and “hyper focus” is our strong point.
It seems that we all have that goal of finishing Naruto in which we just eventually give up on lol
I did it.
Guess I can die now.
I did it :)
Oh wait nevermind there's boruto now :-:
My biggest flex is that I finished ONE PIECE
I did it 4 times, yeah.....
wow... that's actually very helpful, in many more ways than I thought it would be :)
Your entire art theory playlist has been invaluable but this video is profoundly insightful. Thank you. You are a true mentor and personal artistic influence
I have been enlightened. I am eternally grateful.
I know I've seen this video before but it's really what I needed rn. I'm an art student who's been freaking out about what I'm doing and where I'm going, this video helps. I've definitely got analysis paralysis and it stops me from moving forward and learning lessons. I hope to break free from the bonds of this plateau and draw without fear. Love you Sinix
really needed to hear that right now. maybe it's a little abstract and out there especially at the end, but when your problems feel abstract and out there it's exactly what you need!
This was amazing. He really goes there. Deep dive. I can relate. It’s rare to fiNd a person that observed under the surface
YOURE GETTING REALLY GOOD, THAT FUNNY JOKES FROM BOTH, DRAWING SILLY THINGS AND EFFECTS AND ON THE SCRIPT, AND BALANCED WITH REALLY GOOD ADVICES, ITS PERFECTLY BALANCED
Straight to my inspiration playlist.
I found a video about lighting vs. Shading a few months back. It inspired me to start painting again. Two weeks back I found a video made by you. I later realized that the first was also you. I have searched and searched for artists to go into the philosophy of painting, and not just "how to". You are absolutely phenomenal at what you do here. I'll be sure to check out that Patreon of yours.
Thanks a lot dude. Every video watched is tangiable progress.
Your intro "tuning" sound reminds me of Jet Set Radio Future whenever the soundtrack changes the song. I really... I love it. Thank you.
I wasted 5 years of my life (and probably made the 5 before that more difficult than they needed to be) by getting discouraged and stressed with my art. I gave it up half a dozen times but like a crack head kept coming back. I never finished a piece because as soon as I got over the initial excitement I would see fault after fault and just get disheartened and give up, or worse say I will work on it when I have enough time which never came.
The last few months I had a project I wanted to do, my first ever illustration of a sort and I did the same thing, started, then gave up. I realised after 4 months away from it that those 4 hour blocks would never turn up and that had I done 15 minutes a day it would have been done long ago. So that's what I did. I spent 15 minutes minimum per day on my work and after about 3 weeks I had it done, ridiculous. I even gave up hoping it would be good as I just had to push through. Now I am picking up paining too and I learned so much from that experience. I could kick myself at the opportunities lost but it is fun getting back into art again.
I love your art and your way of thinking, thank you for existing and sharing your stuff with the world
I was watching a video by proko which probably demonstrates exactly how to ‘squint your third eye’ and it’s on automatic drawing where you just sorta clear your mind and let your arm do the work. I find it’s also a good way to see how far you’ve gotten in drawing since you’re utilising all of your visual library and such without the pressure of a clear goal. Basically just fancy doodling lmao.
we need more videos like this one
Sinix, your videos always come out when I need them! Thx dude.
This was exactly what I needed! I have the bigger issue with finishing off my projects, heck, even starting them most of the times, due to the analysis paralysis
Thanks for the video Sinix! I have this particular issue on hyper focus yet didn't realise it! I see immediate results after taking in your advice
Awesome vid sinix. I love these Vids that pick your brain more on the psychology of art as well. It's just as important
ilysm sinux finding your channel has made me enjoy drawing again
Thank you for posting a video on this topic. Something Im sure all artists struggle with here and there. Funny thing is, this knowledge should be relatively known to us. However it helps when an artist of your caliber can tell us what it takes to get back into art and not be too distracted. Thank you Sinix!
woah this is probably one of the most useful videos ive watched
HELL YEAH NEW VIDEO FROM SINIX!!!!
Oh goodness, that Ragnarok Online though! Soooooooooooooooooo many hours spent in Midgard ^^
You are the one true sensei. Your insights seem random and yet turn out to be the most relevant and helpful
Love this guy. So glad I got into this channel.
Art teacher AND therapist all in one vid lol
Awesome video 👏 Learned so much about myself. The "learn to squint with the introspective eye" metaphor… SO GOOD! thank you.
I draw while watching sinix. Sometimes i draw while watching sinix while chating with someone while making a post on fb but that's no good. I draw well with videos tho if they are not a history and i can mostly hear and just occasionaly look. Idk why but it feels extremely hard to me to stop and _just_ draw. Or just do one single thing. I must multitask
Man Sinix! great video dude! I have super analysis paralysis for big projects, i've only just really started sketching out some stuff.
Anyway, keep up the good work man! :)
This came at such an appropriate time in my life. thank you for the wisdom and advice.
Lmao, great video. I think its awesome that you cover topics like this. This is not the kind of thing I have ever found in an art instruction book, but I think it is really profound and practical advice.
Thank you Sinix, I needed this today
damn, that part about the mind-set of others really got me!
I usually get mad at fighting games when I lose, but I always keep trying ; keeping that very thing I'm trying to stay away from always near me.
Thanks to this video, I might be able to figure out another way..
this video made me feel so good thank you for making it
Awesome vídeo master sinix, i can apply this not just drawing, but in all areas of my life :D cheers, i love your content
I want more videos like this you always inspire me to come back to art
This video needs millions of views.
Dude, nice! That was much like a well written essay. I appreciate your insight, as a lot of what you expressed resonates with my personality. High five ✋🏼
Thank yoi sinix, This is just what I needed. You the man
Man this is just amazing. THANKYOU
Thanks for the kick in the third eye, man, I needed that :3
Very useful video, one of the best i have seen about mindfulness for artist, thanx!
Really good topic and nicely explain ! love it !
This was great! Thank you, sir!
Recognize so much, like my focus being so distant and blurry that your concept of identity fades away. having the ''third'' eye wide open at all times. Over-analyzing everything. Since it is carved so deep in my daily life I can't seem to escape it unfortunately.
I appreciate how philosophical this was
thank you! I really needed some advice on this
That disproportionate monster doesn’t even look disproportionate wth sinix step up ur game
Thanks sinix, I needed this
Sinix, you’re awesome!
master sensei sinix 🙌🙇♂️
This was really good advice. :) Thank you!
"The adversity you seek in life should not be that of society in the minds of others." So good.
KCRW 🙌 thanks for such great suggestion! 😁
Thanks Sinix
Jus what i needed thank you !!!!
i'm just another one, with this pronblem right now. yous guys are making my art life more easier. (marco, you, ahmedd and so on..)
i really really needed this video these days
thanks no really......thanks like from the heart kind of thanks
this was brilliant
I almost forgot hom much wisdom this person has, all the answers are right here!
Somehow, sinix's channel feels like home.
thank you
ah geez I hit gm in ow LOL and still can't stop playing. I draw most these days when on the train. Love all your vids sinix
hitting too close to home there sinix!!! dang it!
Man I wish I craved challenges.
Honestly, I realize now that maybe I care to little about failure and stagnation. I should probably work on that.
Great and inspiring vid!
Yey sinix video!
Aaaahhh... Thanks 👍
I did not enjoy SOME parts, I enjoyed ALL of it! Thank you sir
this is amazing!!
I enjoyed every bit.
thank you!
I would say that beyond focusing when drawing, you'd need mindfullness: being aware of the global when at the same time focusing on the local. So that you know how this local belongs to the global. This mean also having the movement, the kinesthesic, the emotion, the consistance of the mater, volumes, depths, weight, all sorts of matter running in the back of your mind while working on the current tiny fractoin of the whole. As it is too difficult to embrace it all with the rational part, you have to put yourself into an intuitive understanding / representation of all what these mean/feel to you at the same time. Feeling it with your emotion or in the body itself or having a mental representation of how the whole should feel. This allow to focus on one part of the drawing while still maintaining an overall intuitive understanding of what you're aiming to represent. This is difficult, but when in this state, your putting out coherent drawings.
Thank you.
omg, I was telling to myself that the real 6 th sense was the sense of self. Almost what you're explaining here x)
thank you for this video :)
Thank you... I enjoy listening to free lofi Miyazaki soundtrack djs on UToob when working.
I love your visual jokes 😆
"less thinky, more doy" words to live by
those art pieces that i actually like that i make come out of doodling a line, a circle or any blob
after they turn into something,but you know...
rhis was great video !
great vid! missed u bby
Sinix: Okay okay maybe not all of that... Ooh no Sinix, I assure you, all of that.
That feel when a robot wants to art.
thx man
5:37 man, I'm literally watching this video while sketching at the same time I'm checking my sales with my merchant at prontera city :/ thanks
ok but 6:10 really got me thinking.........
5:24 I immediately thought of Darksoul that's one hell of a challenge
Very good vid bruh
had fun watching it
7:05 Not many of you will understand this reference, but here it comes anyway:
COÑOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
QUIEN COÑO ES FEDE
A new upload!!!!
Sinix tripped on shrooms 🎉
I'm totally that guy, so I'd like to point out that proprioception(awareness of ones body parts and their relative position) is often accepted as a major sense. So 3rd eye would have to be 7th. Or maybe 8th if you count thermoception. The edges of the topic gets a little fuzzy, but those two and nociception(pain) are difficult to fold into one of the others.
Great video as always, though.
hey Sinix I'm a big fan of your work I'm also an artist but I really like your styke and I'm still developing my own style. thanks for the great content. where are you from by the way?
hei man. I dont mean to be rude, but I just wondering is this your normal voice? sounds like somebody records their voice while feel very sleepy.
I like your videos, your painting and drawing style btw, I've learn alot from you (compare to so call school or uni... urgh). You're the best and keep it coming!
