i went to art school and i learned alot of fundamentals and realism and lots of hard long projects, but recently i been just drawing cute cartoonish chibi like characters and i realised, dang i love this, this is what i want to do. so i think i am gonna keep going with it and keep drawing the cute pictures that make me and my friends say awww i wanna invoke that happiness in other people too. :3
Girlll this was so inspiring! I’m 55 and received a lot of wisdom from watching this. My heart broke when you said your mama asked “when you gonna draw real art!” Awww😢 but your response was so powerful I felt it !! I agree childish art is great to make. I wish I could attach a picture with this comment showing the little reindeer people figured I made today! Thanks for posting this challenge.. I really hope you keep this excitement bc it’s contagious and feeling you happy and excited in this video helped me feel happy and excited - thanks 😘 I subscribed and I’m excited for your future! Woowhoo
Thank you SO much for taking the time to leave me this beautiful message 🥹🤍 I really needed and appreciate this encouragement! I am so happy this video resonated with you and I am so happy to have you in this little art community! I also feel so happy this video inspired you to make some art and reconnect with your inner artist 🥹🥹🤍🤍 thank you so much for sharing!!!
I don’t think you should call your art bad, art is one of the most versatile and subjective mediums out there. I personally find your art to be very cute, I also feel like your colors are amazing, really! I love how lively and fitting they are. I really like your usage of the analogous color-pallets. Also, as an artist I gotta say, the way you can just let go of perfectionism fascinates me! I’m someone who feels like everything they draw must be perfect, and videos like these help me understand the true meaning that comes with doing art. So thank you. The comment your mom had made on art is really something that I feel like you shouldn’t really pay any attention to, as I mentioned, art is extremely subjective and versatile- one may draw hyperrealism whilst the other may draw comics, yet both will have an audience, both will have people who appreciate their art. Please keep going and don’t get discouraged! You don’t need to have any goals when doing art, you just gotta have patience and most importantly, fun. :)
This is exactly what I mean when I say “it’s ok to make bad art”!!! ☺️☺️ not that I think my art is bad or anyone’s art is really “bad” - I don’t think there’s really any such thing! But by releasing that inner perfectionist sooo many of us artists wrestle with, we can allow ourselves to make things without the pressure of it being a great or wonderful thing! Thank you so much for your lovely comment and I hope you have a wonderful day 🤍🥰
Oh wow I am so happy they have cultivated cozy vibes for you as you create 🥹🥹🥹 I feel so special to be apart of your creative morning ritual!! Thank you for your kind words
I love these types of drawings very much, but I kept this hidden from myself for a long time. Now I'm 51 and I finally dare to come out with it. so grateful that you share this video it gives me confidence i'm not the only one❤
I really enjoy the style of this video! Its so chill and colorful. It feels like art! I also worked with the artists way book and omg it changed everything for me. I used to only strictly draw anime figures and lost all fun doing it, comparing myself to others. After finishing the book i draw so so so much more. I draw animals, people, abstract art, i craft more, everything that i just want in that moment and it feels so good. I also have a small sketchbook like this to keep myself exploring and doing art feels so good again. I will always reccomend the artists way to everyone haha
Thank you so much for the kind words wow 🥹🤍 I spend a lot of time with my editing and colour grading on my videos so this means so much that it made an impact for you! Thanks again! And yessssss artists way is life
I was saddened at the comment from your mum. Sorry that you were questioned about your art. I enjoyed hearing where your mind went as you went through the pages. Art exploration is part of the journey and process. It has an impact and you shared with us how much you got out of doing this challenge and I am inspired by this in my own style to see what shows up, thank you for sharing 😊
Thank you so much for the kind words! I would highly reccomend taking the time to do it! It was such a valuable exercise! I’d love to see how it goes for you ☺️☺️☺️
I make my own sketchbooks slightly smaller (2x2inch) for using when I am at a doctors appointment or travel etc. I can fit it in my very small bag. I also have a super tiny palette that I take with me (1x2inch) and a waterbrush. It literally fits anywhere lol.
I am learning to draw, and trying what I see others draw, to try and find the style I like. I am very slow, that is amazing that you could do that in 1 day. I sometimes can’t finish 1 drawing in a day. I will say that I do have some tiny sketchbooks and even 1 drawing in those can take me hours. I can’t do anything realistic.
This was so inspiring and such a sweet video connected with you when you said Art is healing I definitely heal through art too. I’m starting off my UA-cam channel, i’m looking at your channel as creative inspiration 😊❤. And your dog is literally the cutest thing ever!
I picked up one of these sketchbooks when I was travelling in North America last year (I’m in Australia) and I’ve used it this year as a Sketch A Day sketchbook and there must be some kinda magic in this for real because it’s been such a great project for me too!! So glad I can across your channel ☺️☺️
cute and whimsical🚲🎈 Art is anything pleasing us. ..somehow kids art or any childish art look more airy such a fresh air in the morning... cute and cozy The colors look so yummy Feel free feel free We do art for fun ...why so serious?!
People are afraid to be criticized and "fail" because psychologically, our most basic need is security; from our tribe. Your brain quite literally will send out fear signals if it thinks you are going to endanger your place in the tribe, like going against the grain or accruing disapproval. Isolation means death and even though we aren't cavemen anymore, our brain has modernized that same fear into fear of failure and "bad art" and "beige boring". You are reframing your mindset by failing on purpose and biologically training your body response to not send out those signals. BRAVO!! ❤ What you said about not wanting to use up art supplies until you're "good enough" really struck me. I shouted "YES!" Out loud and startled my cat 😂 I feel that way too when I am gifted these beautiful, expensive journals, thinking that whatever I put in them must perfect, like poetry or quotes--- something I can't possibly mess up and cross out because I made a mistake. Ugghhhh trying so hard to be okay with being messy and using the pretty supplies anyway! ❤
I really enjoyed this video. I am just getting back into art and find that I am overly critical in my work. I have a hard time just letting go. I think this exercise would be a good place to start. Thank you shoe sharing.
I am so happy you enjoyed it and feel inspired!! You should totally try it and I would love to see how it turns out! 🥰🥰 thank you again for the support!!
This video got me thinking ... and so it is a good one 😊 ... I wonder why it is so important to call the things one does art ... what is art? ... why does it have to be art? ... I use craft as in cræft for my things ... it roots everything ... puts everything to the ground ... makes it easy and natural ... and I leave it to others to call it whatever ... maybe even art!
What a wonderful way to smash a sketchbook and explore your art. How many pages are there in this sketchbook? I'd love to take this on too and will keep you updated. Thanks for the inspo. Where did this idea come from?
Absolutely awesome video!! This was such a great idea, and I feel like it is a total sign for me to try this because I have the EXACT Michael's sketchbook sitting hardly used for a couple years😅 I love the insight to finding your style, I went through the very same process of exploring things I loved as a kid and realized what I really love now too ❤ I am able to draw realistically and used to do a lot of portraits and all, but I just love whimsical fun so much more most of the time and enjoy making it far more ☺️ I am so happy for you! Your color combos are all absolutely gorgeous I love your use of brights and neons you have such an eye for them, everything was so sweet and wonderful! I love mushroom houses! I drew those a lot as a kid, I gotta bring some back that sounds way fun 🍄✨️ I LOVE the be gay and make bad art sticker ideas, heck yes!!! I am pan and need that sticker XD I said "love" a lot in this comment but there were just so many wonderful things here 💐
Oh my gosh please do the challenge!!!!! I would loveeeeeee to see a video of your process and tour of your sketchbook! 😍🥰✨🤍 also I will have to actually make those stickers hehe!! Also happy pride!! ✨🌈 thank you so so much for your continued support and kindred spirit!! 🤍 happy to be on this journey together!!
@@erynranney 🩷🥰🥰 all the same feelings here, thank you!! Aaa I am so flattered! ☺️ I will see what I can cook up, I have 2 videos queued up to edit but this sounds super fun! I neverrr do challenges lol but a one day challenge? Sounds way easier to stick to than a month long drawing challenge 🤣🤔 happy Friday my friend! 💫
@@erynranneypleased re-read rainbow fish. it may not be as great as you think. we didn't allow it in our classrooms/schools maybe it just didn't age well please re-read it
@@jmsl_910 ahhhh ok thank you for bringing this up! I will definitely revisit it because I don’t want to endorse a childhood book that is racist or harmful 😵💫🙃
I wanted to see if I could fill a whole sketchbook in a day and explore a lot of materials I have yet to explore! It allowed me to get into a creative flow and explore freely and quickly without overthinking 😊

Yessssss make all the cute art that brings you and others JOY! Just as valid as realism if not more if it is what you prefer 🤍

Oh my gosh! So genius and smart! Love the idea of a tiny travel sketchbook to document this summer! Thank you!! 🥰🤍✨
Such a cool idea, and I love you use of colors!

Hi! Hopefully you see this! Was just curious what neon markers/pens you used! They’re so bright and I’m obsessed with neon right now lol
They’re acrylic paint pens from the arrtx set of 60 on Amazon!! ☺️✨🌈
@@erynranney about to add to cart right now lol! Thank you for sharing and for sharing your sketchbook!
22:14 do u mean the rainbow fish?

It’s from Michael’s! ☺️✨🤍
i'm new here... you are adorable. were there prompts you followed?
I ❤ your voice!
Very nice meet you
Nice to meet you too! 🥰✨
if anyone figures out the name let me know because im curious. lol .
What is the point of this challenge?
I wanted to see if I could fill a whole sketchbook in a day and explore a lot of materials I have yet to explore! It allowed me to get into a creative flow and explore freely and quickly without overthinking 😊
@@erynranneyI saw many meanings to this.. maybe watch it again this was powerful
