    totally related to a lot of what you said, escpecially the guilt i feel when just chilling (“i could be drawing/doing homework/etc.”)!! thank you so much for sharing your thoughts, productivity is important but hustle culture can be really toxic :’)

    I feel u on the art kid in school thing...i tied much of my identity to my art to the point where I'd rather have died than be able not to draw...but now my "demons" have gotten to the point where I don't have fun drawing and it gives me BAD anxiety to the point where I havent drawn much in like a year, i beat myself up about it a lot because I COULD be drawing and getting better because I have a lot of time on my hands but also I hate my art and making art because I feel my art is bad which makes ME bad and it just loops around and around like that...I'm still fighting it..i dont think id be cut out to be a "professional artist" I feel guilty enough for not drawing. I hope we all get through these feelings though...its hard.

      I took a break, i didnt label myself an artist. I stayed away from the community and things that made me cringe. After a bit i looked at my past drawing and was like wtf why didnt I take credit for how good this is? I didnt feel like my work was enough either. Although its not professional its still remarkable. take more credit i guess, theres so many people who are gonna be better doesnt mean your work isnt good. Im still trying to have a better mindset with art and i hope we all learn how to :D

    Dude, for like a year I got really obsessed with this to the point where I wouldn’t hang out with anyone because I felt “behind” in my personal goals and skills. It took a long time for me to snap out of it and realize it was so unhealthy. Now that I’ve decided to balance everything a little more I feel so much better and I think I feel more successful even though I’m not putting as much time into my hobbies.

    Sigh I love the ways you’re vulnerable and real about how you feel sometimes and how art has it’s up and downs even though you clearly love it. It’s taught me a lot about the industry and it makes you feel more like a person rather than a stranger on UA-cam or instagram

    I really needed this video, my boyfriend pointed out to me that I haven't had time for anything else. I've been mad busy with school trying to achieve a BA in design and working part-time as a production designer too. I haven't had any time for my hobbies, reading, art, anime, etc. So it's very difficult to try and find that time and sometimes it feels like I'm the only one drowning in work and responsibilities while all my friends still have time for hobbies when it literally feels wrong for me to have time. So thank you for this video it really helped

      Drawing seems like it will be very useful for civil engineering. I'm a geologist, and I work with a lot of civil engineers. Depending on what part of the field you go into the ability to draw may help, but the ability to really *see* (which drawing helps develop) will be invaluable.

  • @jlstudios8823

    Thank you for making this video because I feel like the attitude towards art school students that feel like shit when their art is not up to their expectations of where they should be at that moment can be distorted until you step back and see the growth you've made in 2-5 years. It's definitely important to not put yourself into your art too much that getting negative feedback tears you to shreds or ultimately leads you to not want to make art because of the fear of criticism which is primarily a tool for growth to know what things you need to improve on in your craft.

  • @bripuck976
    @bripuck976 4 роки тому

    i loveddddd everything you said in this video. crazy because i have the opposite problem where i take SO LONG to do any drawing or painting. perfectionist brain kicks in and there’s no stopping it haha but it’s funny how either way artists still get this guilt around productivity-it’s almost as if we can’t take breaks because we have something to prove with our art. that we work hard or that it’s a “real job” and the only way to do that is to keep pushing and getting better. like you said though it’s way more important to learn balance and give yourself time away from your desk to prevent burn out 🙏🏼

  • @megamaster0
    @megamaster0 4 роки тому

    I resonate with this video so much! In middle school I always rushed through my homework so I could draw. Drawing always gives me peace, but sometimes I get frustrated because I don't have time which leads to burnout. I remember spending half a semester just playing videogames which was good to recharge. The balance is always hard as I now work a full-time mechanical engineering job and I still want to draw and make YT videos.
    Anyways, thanks for sharing!

  • @seelko01
    @seelko01 4 роки тому +1

    Gosh, this video really resonated with me. I am not really the most organized or productive girl for the most years but I have been making attempts at raising productivity, currently I am at college so I am just mostly spending time studying and doing work and all it needed to be done, since all these years I haven't been working much for myself I am trying to hit on a different level to gain a level of responsability and that's great, but I do admit it has come to be unhealthy and it's for the same reason brought up in this video and it's "self worth" through productivity in an unhealthy way. Only thinking about the work you have to do in order to feel like you are a responsible and functional person, but in the end, you still are a person as anyone and you need to take care of yourself, it's an aspect I and most people are failing at. I wanna say thank you for opening up through this video, it gets to really open many people's (including me) eyes that you yourself matter and that even if work can make us train to gain a level of responsability and adaptability, in the end we don't live to work, we work to live, and living means something more than just...well..doing the same thing instead of living your moment.
    Still fighting procrastination, but currently fighting unhealthy burnout, thank you for this video I really loved it. You are amazing :)

  • @IreensBeans

    THis video is so well-timed ahhh. The "what you create = what you're worth" part really hit me because I've been having MaD anxiety about my art and writing, but especially my wiring because I've been getting feedback from my beta readers about the novel I just wrote. And even though it's great constructive criticism it still feels terrible because I'm getting a whole slew of it from like 10 different people and it's very overwhelming lolll.
    Thanks for discussing these issues though, I'm sure a whole bunch of artists relate and we really need to be told to take a break sometimes haha

    Awesome video Mew and honestly a very relatable video. When you mentioned self made work, that hit like a truck. The act of filling time can quickly become problem for anyone. That can kill the motivation and joy that anyone gets from doing literally anything.
    I realized I'm a similar type of person. I end up putting on a lot of expectations on myself and my work ( as an artist and a video creator)

    you came from school to do homework so you could draw after that? HOW.
    I'm a procrastinator, i like to distract myself instead of doing the important things first, i hate that i cannot control it, i need therapy, being able to come home and do homework just to be able to draw, you probably had at least average to good grades; when i went back from school i didn't even do my homework and start playing videogames, i was a messy person and some of that still remains in me to this day, i want to be better at drawing but videogames are my favorite thing before drawing, i just like to be better than anyone at something, and when i can't see progress i don't feel inspired to keep improving cuz i'm still better at drawing than my close friends, im pretty competitive and if i don't see someone is winning against me i stop improving. That competitiveness also makes me really insecure when i see so many incredible artists telling their story on how they've been drawing since they were children and i started a couple years ago, i'm 19. When you start young your taste is incredibly low, everything that you make is a masterpiece, so you don't actually see your improvement and that can be demoralizing, but at least you have your drawings when you were 5 y/o and that boosts you up, but when you start late you are in a gap, where my skill doesn't match with my taste, and sure i'll get out of here but in the meantime i just feel like trash, Everyone says am good at drawing but i just keep saying to myself that i'm not made for this, but also i know that if im not made for this then i'm not made for anything else.
    I keep doing my best and still i don't like what i make, i wanna be better but don't know the exact steps and thats really scary to me, thats the main reason i'm scared of being an artists. I just need my future self to tell me how to get where he is, and that would be calming, but i'm alone and everh artist's story is different, so i have nothing to lean on.

      Look i dont even draw because i procrastinate to death. Actually I'm procrastinating cause i feel like it's too late, just like you. I also like videogames, movies, anything with a plot. That is precisely what makes me want to create. I think that it's very important for you to have your goals/desires clear, but that doesn't mean you have to take it extremely serious and beat yourself up for not being at the level you want to be in. I mean it's important to take it lightly and enjoy but keep these things ib mind: what do you want to do with art? Do you want to live off of your art? Do you want to keep it as a hobby or a secondary source of income? Also, what type of content do you want to create? I once heard advice from someone saying that it's useful to look up art in the internet and find exactly what you want to be able to do in the future. And work towards that. Btw sorry if bad english since it's not my first language.
