    What are the things you have had to overcome to reach your creative goals? What are you currently working towards? ❤

      I used to have many creative goals but I was taking the whole process of creating too seriously and was really frustrated when I wasn't as good as I expected of myself and I was comparing myself to others a LOT to the point that I couldn't even enjoy their work because I was so angry at myself that I cannot do it (even more when they were younger than me) and it all led to me stoping drawing for quite a long time but I can't be without it, it increase my mental health and calms me down so MY solution?? I stopped having creative goasl at all!! I have no one! I just draw bc I solemly enjoy the activity and I don't care how it looks. I mean I do but it's not the main thing. Now I can enjoy all the amazing artists and their works such as YOURS and I can draw without any pressure on me.

      palestblue I actually watch youtube videos that catch my eye and try to draw their artstyle then I experiment on an artstyle that suits me best...

      palestblue The first one was beginning page of my new sketchbook, I wanted to make it so perfect (to make an awesome sketchbook). I just scribbled all over the page with same random stuff xD, reminds me to put my ideas out there in the sketchbook and not be afraid if people like it or not. It's my expression of my own self as an artist and to try new things

    I have started drawing and painting from few months ago. Its like a hobby. Because I'm usually busy and don't get time to draw and painting takes a lot of time. What I do is I go to Pinterest and close my eyes and swipe the feeds and select one. Whatever it is I will draw. Its like a challenge for me.

    • @palestblue
      @palestblue  7 років тому +1

      Oh, that's an amazing idea, I may have to steal that!!

    @justine-nht 7 років тому +10

    I love this video, I also struggle with the fear of not being good enough. I expect a lot, therefore it is hard to draw some ideas that were on my mind for a long time, because I know that they will not look the same as in my mind, and I will be disappointed 😓

    • @palestblue
      @palestblue  7 років тому

      Yes, I know the feeling!!!

  • @devonkitto194

    • @palestblue
      @palestblue  7 років тому

      I think sketching every day is such a wonderful goal!! Ah yes, perspective and proportions is definitely something I want to pratice more as well!

      thank you so much! :) I think sometimes it is great to hear that other people are struggling, too :) It's just something we all experience, I guess. I am really glad that I am not the only one who feels like this sometimes!

  • @outcastdiamonddazzel
    @outcastdiamonddazzel 7 років тому

    Wow thank you so much for the tips❤I need to get better at pushing myself to do better in my art I'm kinda on hold because I really don't have my own work space where I can draw in peace but I still practice and I also need to be more patient with my art and I need to stop comparing and downing myself I hope to get better and that's something that keeps me stuck to art I watch people do the Redraws a lot and I love seeing the progress and I think to myself that could be me in the future and when I do look at my old art I see I've come pretty far so far I recommend watching people do Redraws when they redraw old art to compare and see there progression it can give motivation hopefully for others it dose for me I guess that's a tip hopefully I never give tips or art advice myself so hopefully this works for some anyway I'm rambling I loved the video everything you draw is amazing! I love it Keep Up The Amazing Work❤

    This is such a great video, thanks for sharing these tips. It's such a personal journey that all creatives go through. I learnt a few things recently and yes fear and comparing are absolute killers. Thanks for the book recommendation, i will be checking it out. One of my goals is to improve general drawing skills and getting into the habit of drawing more often.

    Your artwork always leaves me in awe. I've always assumed you made your living as an artist because you are so crazy good! I can't imagine the thrill of being able to put what's in my head down onto paper. I have started drawing things in my daily journaling even though it looks like a child's drawing because it is fun to create but it would be more fun if it looked like what's in my minds eye. lol. Thank you for sharing your expertise and the many book titles in your video. Happy New Year!🎉

    @sarroora 7 років тому

    I still have so many things I need to improve. For instance, I need to draw more immersive environments, and create concept art pieces (for animation) that easily communicate a character's certain mood or emotion. I need to improve perspective and dynamic poses. I also aspire to publish fantasy stories, which is my favorite genre!

    • @palestblue
      @palestblue  7 років тому

      it sounds like you have a lot of wonderful things to practice :). I also really love fantasy stories. Do you have some favorites you would recommend?

  • @AnastasiaR
    @AnastasiaR 7 років тому +2

    Your artwork is so amazing! Right now I am struggling with the pressure of trying to find my distinct style. I definitely have a few styles and I'm actually okay with that but I feel external pressure online to have a more cohesive style. The way I'm trying to deal with it right now is to photograph my work in similar way even if the work itself varies so that everything looks like it belongs together. By the way, do you write down what you will say in videos before you do voiceover? It is always so organized and informative without sounding too scripted. I need to work on that so bad!

    • @mappleedits8092
      @mappleedits8092 7 років тому

      Don't pressure yourself into trying to find the right art style. I did that and all it does is give you unnecessary stress. Let it come naturally. You were talking about having two different styles? Try mixing them together and see what comes out (If you haven't already) :)

    • @palestblue
      @palestblue  7 років тому +1

      I totally get it, I struggle with this as well! I think I will make a video about finding your style soon, it is such a wide topic and I think a lot of us are struggling with it.
      Yes, I write a script for my videos to make sure I get everything across without rambling too much :)
      I agree, Hailey C , I think just letting it develop is probably the most stress-free way to go :).

  • @AlbrightAnalytics
    @AlbrightAnalytics 7 років тому +1

    My goal is to enter contests for my art work, but most of what I create is fanart. I also have some original pieces, but I worry about if they are good enough, and if they seem uninspired.

    • @palestblue
      @palestblue  7 років тому

      oh, that's an amazing goal! I say go for it!! :) I totally understand being afraid that your work is not good enough, but you will never know how people judge your stuff if you don't put it out there!

    Pls reply.....i'd be very much grateful if you do
    Thanks for sharing these tips

    • @palestblue
      @palestblue  7 років тому

      I totally get it. I've worked in academia for a couple years now and am trying to finish my Ph.D. - it is so hard to get everything done in such a competitive job, have the rest of your life together AND find time to create. I am not sure I have a solution, to be honest. I will try and film a video about this, because I think it is something a lot of people struggle with...
