The mindset shift that will change your life
Вставка
- Опубліковано 16 жов 2024
- Shifting from a short-term focused mindset focused on getting results as fast as possible to a far more relaxed, studious, long-term mindset has changed my life in more ways than I can probably imagine.
Focusing on really leveling up at the fundamentals can seem like the boring route (which i mean sometimes it is, you don't have to love every aspect of your career or even your pasison, so long as you recognize their importance) but it's ALSO the path that leads to the most artistic growth and creative development over time.

omg i'm writing this down, cleverly inspiring
THIS IS A REAL DEAL SENTENCE HERE! ✨👑
My analogy for talent vs practice has always been this:
“Naturally talented people” who are better than most in something from the get go are like a character in an RPG who starts at level 5 and has an exp boost of 20%.
And practicing is the act of going out and fighting monsters and getting EXP. Sure the “talented” person might start ahead and grow a little bit faster - but only if they put in the work to gain the experience and practice.
And like in an RPG, if I’m staying on the comfort of the starting area, consistently killing lvl1 slimes… after a while it will take quite a while to level up. You gotta branch out form your comfort zone and always be a little uncomfortable, facing monsters slightly above your level, to gain experience in a good pace. It’s all about the frequency AND THE QUALITY of the battles you’re facing - which I think is akin to the difference between mindful and mindless practice
Might be a convoluted analogy but if you game I’m sure you followed my drift haha
This is the best analogy I've ever heard for practicing!
Damn this was a good analogy
This analogy is awesome, ty!
Seems like a spot-on analogy to me!
There is a differences though, talented people imagine ways differently compared to ordinary one
Exactly, I started to take art seriously and I've been practicing and seen a great improvement and I've decided to join the challenge and post the process on UA-cam to see my improvement after the challenge I'm Soo excited!! Thank you for this great advice and challenge ❤️❤️
Of course!! I'm excited to see what you do with the prompts!
@@KelseyRodriguez sorry to piggyback on the comment but i think someone is trying to impersonate you and scam people in the comment section.
So well said! Practicing the fundamentals listed here is what leads to descriptive and expressive power in art. Great insight! We think you are right: artistic skills are acquired through hard work and practice. Maybe "talent" is really more of a natural affinity or love of the craft, because if you love making art, it doesn't have to feel like work!
Oh, my gosh! Blick themselves commented! ♥ Kelsey has made it. :)
And exactly what you said! What my drawing professor in college said never left my mind. She also doesn't believe "art talent" is a thing, only *skill*, which one can develop. If anything is a talent, it's the ability for one to diligently practice their craft frequently, or the stick-to-it-iveness, because the practice/study is what makes you great.
Blicks please stop being try hard
"Talent brings opportunities but it takes competence to grasp them"
It's a quote from a korean actor who played as Kaist.
Its just a word he said but it's so powerful and captivate my perspective of what it is being a person I wanted to be. Even without talent there's always a way.
“Start thinking long-term”. I have somehow never really heard that 🤔 That’s really eye opening! Thanks so much! Plus congrats on 100k 🥳🥳 what a journey it’s been 🥳
I never really had this mindset. I never wanted to rush, in fact, I love studying art so much. It's one of my favorite things to do. I just don't really know how or where to. Everyone always says "study study practice" but they never really tell you how. Thank you so much for the opportunity to learn how I've always wanted to. I really love your videos and all the advice you give!
"Instead of trying to find the "get rich quick sceme" of developing your art skills..." Damn, that hit right home, I needed to hear that. Thank you for being real and speaking up!
Been on a discipline journey with Healthy Gamer and my therapist. Life coaching is super worth it too. Learn what makes you afraid to act and learn to manage your mind - it'll pay massive dividends!
Also PS Kelsey you rock.
I've had this argument SO many times with people and I 100% agree.
this came at the. perfect. time. ive really been struggling with my art, really stressing if its good enough for me to make a career out of, im really looking forward to doing this and hope it gets me back into why i even started drawing again!! thank you so much for this, it really motivated me. ❤
Amen sister!!!
GIT YO @$$ TO WORK!!
no shortcuts
Kelsey I just want to say how much this has resonated with me! I'm trying to improve my art and skills, since lately I've been comparing myself to others way too much thanks to social media. But these kind of challenges motivate me to see the positive side and realize that without the comparisons I would never try to get better at what I love doing the most, so I'm taking it slowly and with a positive mindset. I aspire to grow my youtube channel and in the way become the artist that I know I can become, and you inspire me so much for all that! Thank you thank you thank you!
I relate so much to everything you’ve shared @The Funky Cake! I don’t have a UA-cam channel but I do have an Instagram account dedicated to my art. The comparison game can be crushing but I also do love to find inspiration in the work of others! And I truly enjoy the process of art but haven’t been spending enough time on it - putting in the work on fundamentals that Kelsey said.
Having a UA-cam channel is a great motivation to keep going [at least for me it is :D ] but it is also soo much work. I feel you on the comparing yourself, it can be so disheartening to see all of that good art. But we still have so much in front of us and so much to learn we just need to give it a time. AND practice :D Your art is so cute and I love your use of colors please keep going but take a break if you need.
I ran across this comment and checked out your channel. I really like your art so I subscribed and will definitely be watching some videos! I just started my channel recently and my first sketchbook tour comes out Saturday. I am trying my best to just focus on making the art I want to create and improving and less on subscriber count and views (which I'm sure you understand, can be hard). But anyway, I just wanted to take the time to give you a little encouragement because your art is beautiful and I'm glad you're trying to start seeing more of the positives in it. 😊❤
Kelsey giving you a hug is on my bucket list.😍
Thank you. So true. I see a lot of art videos with headlines like, quick and easy painting. The other one is “tricks”. It’s about constant, hard work, not tricks.
Great video, I've been tattooing for over 10 years and you'd be surprised how many people I've worked with who think the ability to draw is a magical born talent, the idea it's a learn skill is beyond a lot of peoples grasp.
Congrats on 100k!! You deserve it 🤍✨✨
I needed this so much it made me cry haha thank you! I know how much work goes into being a creator and I appreciate you
Thank you so much for the prompt! Very well said! Constant improvement and strong foundations of the drawing fundamentals is really the only way to go if you want to get serious about art. When I was starting out, I was always seeking for some magical advice here on yt that would drastically improve my progress and that's probably why most clickbatey videos have a lot of views, reality is though that there is no such thing and you actually have to do the hard work, there are NO shortcuts. I feel like one of the common reasons why most beginners quit despite having potential is because improvement is barely noticable, some only wait for that 'eureka' moment without learning for improvement.
I could not agree more! I feel like more and more artists want the short tips and tricks or easy way out when really it takes a lot of hard work and dedication growing your skills. I absolutely love the idea of study September, this is going to inspire a lot of people :) Also wanted to say congrats on getting to 100k subs big accomplishment!!
Your videos always arrive at the best time! Thank you for making the challenge, and congrats on reaching 100k!!!
aawwww I always love reading your comments, you're the sweetest
I love how this came the right time. I really wanted to work on Perspective and master studies. I feel this will help me alot. To avoid perspective I always use Blender to create 3d environments. I feel Master studies will help me see what other artist are doing. Thank you for creating this challenge 🧡💛🧡💛
Wow! Your channel has taken off! Yesss
i cannot thank you enough for this art challenge!!!!! as someone who has done art throughout school but never had the opportunity to make it to college- finding where to do fundamental studies and where to even begin is so overwhelming! thank you for at least piecing it up~ love and adore you and your videos. i am an avid lurker
Agreed. And this applies to almost everything. Going to the gym, learn to play an instrument, working in your charisma, getting money, etc.
I love that movie poster title screen soooo much!
good luck everyone with the challenge
There's an anime I loved where they show the difference between the so-called successful, "genius and talented" artists vs the normal. What this anime taught was, its not because they are "talented and genius" that's why they are on top. It's because they don't give up, they are more persistent, they are so focused in their tasks, even they fail they just move forward and didn't stay still, they don't let the drama of life hinder their path to success and they keep on learning.
Also, what I notice, to me and to other people as well, we all have different way of learning. One might not be able to learn anatomy by thinking about the "anatomy" itself, rather by reducing it to simple blocks. Same, others might not understand color by just reading the theories, even with composition, perspective to this golden ratio etc. So in the end, I guess the best way to easily learn things is to know first yourself, how you learn things easily, what makes you remember things easily, etc. Find and create your own guidelines, to be specific.
This is absolutely solid advice. Bang on.
Thanks a million for this. I knew that consistency is core to creating the art you imagine and would love to actually produce, but I'd felt so adrift in actual practice. Your prompts-list is the perfect companion to the learning material I'm working with right now. Again, thank you!
your work on youtube is beautiful! you're such a good person to recontextualise this idea with your own value 🎊
I'm binge-watching your Channel. So much good creative encouragement. I'm definitely going to try to keep up with this challenge.
i cannot begin to say how i enjoyed this video. I'm literally going through this right now. There are days when I feel like I'm not a good artist at all. I struggle with numerous things when it comes to art, but I absolutely love it! Hence, needing to study right? lol Thank you for helping us new upcoming artists on youtube and beyond.
This is my everyday mindset. Good to know i am not alone.😀 Thanks Kelsey !
Just discovered this channel through Adam Duff. I am sooo exited for all the work I’ll get done along with you. Art-yt has had a surge developing channels of high insight and entertainment value. It’s been an incredible time to explore. Appreciate you all. Thank you ❤
This daily fundamental challenge sounds like fun. It's a great way to retouch the fundamentals.
Could not agree more!! You actually turned me on to NMA, and since I've started using their teachings, I've felt my growth expanding like wildfire! You absolutely cannot skip over the fundamentals. They are the foundation of everything!
Oh that's so great to hear!! I'm currently in talks with NMA to collaborate in the future on some cool projects, their classes are insanely valuable, glad you're getting a lot out of them!
@@KelseyRodriguez That's incredible! Can't wait to see what you do! 🤍
Thank you for the video ☺️ i have been having trouble in putting in the work lately 😔 trying to get back into it after a break
Wow i needed this. I love your touch love and honesty which keeps me always watching your work. You are so right. Im going to start my UA-cam and fix my Etsy and Koji account and market myself and share with others what i do. Keep consistent. A lot of my work really does make me feel safe because i been in business for about a year and im not where i want to be but in reality I can’t blame others i didnt put my all into it. I gave up many times. Like ive been doing for the past weeks. There’s not skipping ahead i stay up all night watching videos trying to find get rich ways and still feel like wtf i should’ve just did my work after wasting all this times. I needa use the art fundemental chart
One mouth from inktober is a very good start point to remember art fundamentals in September😾✊✊
I’m in love with as much as I’m terrified of this challenge!! 😂 just a bit confused as to why the hashtag is studytober rather than studytember?? Studytober does roll off the tongue a bit better 😆
lmaooo thank you for pointing out that typo hehe, I was up until 1am editing this and it really shows
@@KelseyRodriguez 🤣👍
Congratulations on your 100k🔥
Amen. I learned the hard way by trying to take shortcuts. Boy did I pay! Now in my healthy journey to improving, selling a bit more and putting hours and my heart into it, constantly learning...thx for.this reminder
I'm usually pretty good at not comparing my art to others', but I did fall into kind of a slump of feeling inadequate these last few weeks. I've discovered your channel yesterday and have been binging your videos since. This one is exactly what I needed. Thank you
being around actual good artists that are better than you helps alot too
Congrats on 100k!!!! You grew 50 000 this summer fantastic 👏👌🙌I LOVE your videos!!! You are a huge inspiration to me, and main, MAIN reason why I'm starting my own channel soon🙏🤗THANK YOU
I needed this today... Thank you.
I was feeling so unmotivated and empty this past week because I feel like I've come to a point where I think I've done my best, but I know it's not THE best, and I'm literally trying everything out to the point whete I got burnt out and am now pretty artblocked. None of the music and entertainment I used to watch for inspirarion inspires me now, and having someone sincere talk about whatever art schmack is here without the scripted funni 'haha' moments and over done editing is just refreshing and feels like having a hearty talk to a friend who is actually interested in helping so I thank YOU SO MUCH for this channel's existance. ٩(ˊᗜˋ*)و
Great understanding and insight on talent and practice, couldn't be expressed better! Thank you, Kelsey!❤❤❤🥰
loving studyseptember so far. Thanks for the challenge Kelsey
Hey Kelsey .You have helped so much.I adore you .You are my motivation ilyyyyyy
Kelsey thanks for sharing this! Thanks to your videos I realized I'm not that bad on my art career. I always think I was bad or my art it's not enough to be good (always comparing myself with the great artist or other people art), but you have a good vision about what a artist can be!!! Thanks again!!!
I finally found what I have been searching for as an artist ToT thank you so much Kelsey!!! ♡
This is great advice! Sometimes it’s hard for me practice studies I’m terrible at , but it can help in the long run. Thank you for reminding me that
BTW, when did you pass 100K subscribers? Congratulations!
just a few days ago!! It was nice to finally reach that milestone for sure
I wish I had a teacher like you when I was in college. You do a wonderful job of communicating. 🙏🏼 Thank you.
This morning, I charged my iPad for the first time in weeks in the hopes of trying to improve my drawing skills and now that I’ve watched this video, I feel like it was fate!
I rly like this art challenge because it also gives dedicated days to practice and develop basic drawing skills! im excited to start todayy thank youu for making this :)) and congrats on 100k!
OMG congrats in 100k
Awww thank you Eva! It's been a longgg road to get here but it's really amazing to see our community grow, definitely life changing!
thank you for this vid, ive implementing this type of thinking this past few months, going back to the basics. Been learning to be patient with myself and like you said came to terms with art being a lifelong journey. Almost instantly ive been able to create better art by both re learning the basics and not being so hard on myself with the level im at, at the moment.
Thank you. You are very generous.
I love having drawing challenges because it tells you what to draw but not specifically so there is alot of creative freedom. There's so many things I want to draw and have to study that it can be very overwhelming. Not knowing where to start often leads me to not drawing at all. Aside from following art challenges, I plan to create lists of exact exercises to follow and things to draw, so that way, when I go sit at my desk, I can start drawing right away instead of over thinking about what to draw.
That sounds like a great strategy! I feel the same way, having a specific plan and things to choose from really helps me focus and reduce all that noise
i am so glad i clicked on your video ty!
Thank you for making this video and this challenge it was exactly what I needed to see today I have been talking about getting back into art and I needed to revisit the fundamentals and reclaim my love for art back its gonna be a fun journey and good luck to everyone starting this challenge!
Yesss I totally agree @Obsanity!
Kelsey!! Look at you, you’re amazing!! 100k subs now!! I remember when you had 500. 🥰 Congrats!!
WOOO CHALLENGE!! Can’t wait to try some hopefully all of these 🥳
Thank you. Your words really helped me calm down.
I drew a bit when I first entered college, but then I stopped doing it for several years and only retook the hobby half a year ago. Also, I began doing digital art for the first time without having a clue. Although I know I really have improved a lot in these months, sometimes it feels like I'm really rushing into this as if trying to make up for lost time.
Thank you so much girl, I def needed to hear it 😂
Thank you for posting this, Im looking forward to working on this prompt list and improving my skills!
GOSH. THIS VEIDO WAS SO NEEDED !!!
Really needed this today. Thank you.
congrats on 100k subs
Thank you so much for this I have been waiting for an artist to go into the fundamentals for a very very long time! I have seen other videos about them really quickly but they don't go into a prompt list to help. I have read lots of books on them but they have maybe two examples and sometimes very vague. So I will learn something by doing with this list.
BTW!! I just joined your channel membership !!! Because youuuuu ROCKKK !!!
Just replied to your other comment, but want to reply to this one quick and say thanks, it genuinely helps and means a lot :)
little late to to the party but this video hit the right spot. i am gonna try to stick to this challenge
I love how you just stopped talking for 2 seconds and fixed your hair hahahaha so cute and genuine!! Absolutely love this challenge versus a specific genre/theme. Exciting!! You're my new fave arttuber!
Yes!!! So excited for this challenge. It's so exciting to be joined by others studying the fundamentals.
happy september hello from chileeee🇨🇱 its kinda hard try to know what are u saying since im native spanish speaker nor english but i try and think its help me develop my english skillset also find very helpfull ur videos thanks for making them
oh hey Dante! You've been a subscriber for ages, it's nice to hear from you. I grew up speaking Spanish in school, I should really start practicing again. Let me know if the auto-translated subtitles ever get things wrong and I can try to go back and add custom ones!
"Learn to see not look" ...took me 2 years to internalize it, which pave me toward direction I see my self improving
I’ve wanted a list like this for sooo long but doing my own lists has never been enough to whip me into shape lol thank you!
it def is good list covering the basics🙂 anything to get people t o practice more is a good thing
I have noticed exactly this! I need to start from scratch if I don't want to continue spending 20 hours for a portrait sketch.
Definitely going to try this challange because I've been taking very long breaks from arting that has set my skills back alot
Thank you for every video you make, this list was really good. Gonna printscreen and try the out the exercise 😄
kelsey I've been watching your videos since the beginning of your channel, and I just saw you hit 100k, this is amazing!!! So happy for you!!! You inspired me to start a channel as well and whenever I get discouraged I think of you. Thanks for all your videos!!
aaa that means so much to me to hear you say that, thank you
I honestly got excited about this with inktober coming up.
Thank you Kelsey this is super helpful and you really know how to handle this for all artist
I've just started this challenge I hope I stay consistent and improve my art!!
hi Kelsey, I follow your channel since April and it’s amazing how your channel growth so much since then. I’ve learned a lot from your channel so thanks a lot!
Congrats on 100k YOU DID IT!🌟💜Thank you for all the art advice, tips & sharing your journey with us. Keep on blooming🌷
I just posted my very first art video and I’m so excited! Thanks for all the tips and encouragement you give!🥰
I really needed this video🥺
Talent is just an extra interest, a drive and a NEED. Sometimes, life takes us in away from art and you feel ot every day until you can't take it anymore
Thank you for this.
Thank you Kelsey for this prompt list! It's very helpful and I want to join it. Your videos motivate me to become a better artist and hopefully a full time artist one day!
i think for me personally im just scared of starting because im scared of realizing that maybe all these years ive been drawing have been for nothing.. i want to learn, i want to improve.. theres just this barrier thats impossible for me to get past. actually starting the process is so difficult and i dont know what to do.. theres just more i have to improve on and learn than i thought and im scared of getting too overwhelmed that i'll give up and the cycle of me ignoring the fact i need to improve my art skills will just continue..
Thank you!
Sick video, as a musician really applicable aswell
Been saying this for so long.
Ppl always say "you're so lucky" or like "how do i automatically get to your ability" and im always like "work ... Just go work. Review continuously."
I love your channel, thank you so much for making these helpful videos x
I think my favorite ice cream flavor is some combination of coffee and toffee!
Thanks for putting the work into telling us the real deal. I've been drawing forever and people think it happened overnight
