The answer is DNA! I'm currently located on a situation like yours but without the X-ray knowledge you have because of your college. I don't believe on the 10K hours theory but I think that practicing without a goal can still help you because of muscular memory, which would be one of my main goals to achieve becoming an art god.
Another great video Massa. Jake Parker has a video on the 10000 hour rule asking instead for 10000 focused minutes which is much more feasible. I am having trouble with the riddle but I wish everyone else good luck on it.
I will find it and check it out - thanks for the recommendation - I love Jake Parker, even before I discovered that he is the one who created inktober !!
I can’t believe I only just found this channel!! Great content really enjoyed it. I think the answer to the riddle is IMAGINATION ? Either way looking forward to watching some of your back content and the future videos you put out ❤❤
Thanks so much, i hope you will not cringe too much on the back content, i keep it live because it is nice to see the progress but it is much less entertaining 🫠 Regarding the riddle I will post the solution and let you know if you solved the riddle by the end of the week (keep an eye on this comment thread :)
My view on this concept is very different from yours. I never thought of the 10,000 hours rule as a time frame you should achieve, as if after the 10,000th hour you start to glow and evolves into a master of the thing you are practicing. I view it as an advice that basically tells you that mastering something takes time and effort. It's not easy to practice 10,000 hours of something it takes effort, its hard. I never thought about it as a concrete period you should strive for. I like to thing that someone asked a master at x and how to be like him and he replied that you need to practice 10,000 hours, is like a parable or a teaching. Great video as always.
the way you describe how you interpreted the 10,000 hours rule is much more healthy and useful in practice for sure. There is no getting away from hard work and effort. I think its important that people know that the research paper about the 10,000 hours does not have a valid conclusion despite it becoming so popular. I guess that was the intention of the video at the start but then i got lost in my drawings 😅
I wouldn't be surprised to learn that the 10.000 hours rule originates from China or Japan. Because both languages also use their respective word for "10.000" idiomatically to mean, "an awful lot of sth". So when they say "10.000", it could but doesn't necessarily have to mean exactly 10.000, but could also mean, "so much that nobody would bother to count it".
@@lonestarr1490 Fun fact, the "10.000 steps per day" thing supposedly does come from Japan, where the first step counter on the market could count up to 9999, so people made it a challenge to max it out each day.
@@lonestarr1490 It’s not the case for the 10,000 hours rule, but that’s so interesting-I didn’t know! The 10,000 hours rule comes from a 1993 study by psychologist Anders Ericsson in Germany. The study looked at violinists at the Berlin Academy of Music and found that the best violinists had accumulated around 10,000 hours of practice by the age of 20.
Hi Massa Art! I just have go to say I love your videos and also appreciate your style of art and cinematography a lot. As for the riddle, I’m thinking imagination is the answer
This is much needed feedback, thank you really. I am self taught in all of this so one of the biggest challenges is to understand if i’m going on the right direction. Comments like yours are help me signal that there’s no need to course correct 🙏 Regarding the riddle, your answer is noted ✍️ I will post the solution and let you know if you solved the riddle by the end of the week (keep an eye on this comment thread :)
This one was amazing! I love the creative cinematic shots. You've become a big inspiration for me ❤ I'm not too sure about my answer for the riddle but maybe it's a human's thoughts or imagination?
A heartfelt thank you! I’ll do my best to keep up the standards with the next videos! and i hope you’ll create awesome stuff :) Re/ the secret riddle, i’ve noted down your answer ✍️ by the end of the week i will come back here to let you know if you solved it!
This was a really interesting watch, I really enjoyed it. Something I was catching on, trying to find a scientific or mathematical or hour measurement to become a god, but gods are the only things you can't explain with math or science. God's are a belief from a collection of people, they do things only they can. You have an eye for backgrounds and for magnificent precision of massive shapes, and even complex mechanisms, I think you could create some spectacular things from that. Hopefully you'd find more joy in it since you'd be doing it for yourself. I think the path to becoming an art god is collecting all the many things you've experienced in your life, from people, passions, to stories, events, work, anything you've ever seen, and creating things that nobody ever could out of that combination. You're the only person on earth that's lived your life, finding a way to express that and expressing it so well that people line up to see it, that's what makes you live through your work and become a God. There's also something to be said of community. The great struggle nowadays is hanging casually with the homies drawing around. Having people around to draw with and challenge each other and inspire each other can do amazing things with our creativity. I remember having so much fun just having stick figure fights with my friends, trying to come up with cool action scenes together. I have a more natural eye for fight scene flow because of that. Collaboration is extremely important to a robust mind, a robust mind has more experiences to pull from when creating, and art is a social hobby. I may try and start a meetup group, hang out at a local bar or park on Fridays and just draw whatever for a while. Draw the people around you, draw anything on your mind, draw a dog you see, everybody just chatting and drawing, that'd be fun. That could be a great catalyst. If it's more about becoming a badass artist that can draw anything, we're fortunate in this age we have such great access to interviews from art gods and get their processes from them directly. Kim Jung Gi is always who I look to for inspiration on this. There's a metric ton of doodling that we're not aware of that hes doing. Just expressed in the quickest form, you can practice a whole scene a thousand different ways before picking one, all the experience from the roughs adds up. Must embrace the doodle. Another catalyst, having fun on the page.
This is beautifully written and there’s quite a few good tips and insights in there. I hope everyone reads it! The “social hobby” part hits home for me, not because i understand it, but because i wished i had it, all my life i’ve been the only one who’s into drawing from the people around me. Except my mom! 😅
@@massa_art The struggle is realllll, I feel that. These days, none of my friends even like looking at art, drives me bananas. I'm starting to think that's going to be one of those "get out of the comfort zone" moments. If you build it, they will come. I wish you well on your journey
i would love to get feed back from you it will be really helpful and i love the cinematic approach of your videos that you took btw i think the answer is DNA🧬🤓
I really enjoyed spending time with the works of the previous riddle winners and give them the best feedback i can. I’m looking forward to do it this time too! I’ve noted down your answer ✍️ and will let you know if you got it right by the end of this week. It will be via a reply to this comment thread. I will also post in the community tab of my channel to make sure you don’t miss it. (turn on the bell notifications just in case)
Another great video…as expected! But I didn’t expect an Ai bee😅 The answer to the riddle has to be DNA…that’s what makes up the core identity of each organism so hopefully I have the right answer!
it’s lovely to see you again in the comments! I’m glad you enjoyed this next video as much as the previous one :) Regarding the secret riddle, I will post the solution and let you know if you solved the riddle by the end of the week (keep an eye on this comment thread as i’ll come back here to let you know personally :)
It’s the next level of dedication when a UA-cam Creator personally responds to comments. Truly appreciate it! Looking forward to your next masterpiece 👍
Loved it! haha tbh im always clueless about the hidden riddles - but would love your feedback! i recently finished my project of illustrating a book. 100 chapters = 100 drawing = 100 days, but again i find myself in the spot of not knowing how to get to next level of the craft itself. Would love to hear your thoughts on the work ive done so far
I recommend you checkout Gaia (link in description) she helped me a lot to gain perspective on my work and understand what direction I want to explore. I am also available for hire as 1:1 mentor (also link in description) but I've set it a bit pricey because I am keeping as much free time as possible to dedicate to the people who win the riddles. (this way I can be fair with respect to giving as much free value as possible)
I will post the solution and let you know if you solved the riddle by the end of the week (keep an eye on this comment thread :) The feedback will be through a dedicated video, that i make for each winner and send personally, i find i can go much more in depth than what i can do through a server. But I was thinking whether it is best to open a Discord or a Skool community. What do you think?
Watch it in 4K !!
