Less editing and a different type of video, but I really believe that videos on mindset are so helpful and unfortunately lacking in the art community. I hope this helps you!
This popped up on my recommendation and I paused for a second was like, is it time to confront what I’ve been procrastinating for so long. Is YT finally calling me out. And here I am lol
I used to think i didnt enjoy drawing. The thing is that I do have ideas, but they're lost due to my brainfog or laziness. I don't use ADHD as an excuse, but this illness just causes me to use even more mental energy just for a short 1 hour session of sketching or drawing cubes. I really needed this video, now i just have to put in the work.
Mm, the idea of boredom being the catalyst state for creativity is one that I hadn't thought of until now, but which seems obvious in hindsight. No wonder I haven't been able to find ideas that I resonate with to draw for a while. Great advice.
This was actually helpful..recently it's been like a back and forth in my head between wanting to take care of my problems super quickly but also wanting to rest, and in general I've just been feeling torn and unsure. So I kinda slipped back into that bad habit of just scrolling on yt instead of resting or actually taking things step by step. This opened my eyes a bit tho, I feel like my mind is more clear than before. Thx for making this. 👍
This was much needed. I stuggle with focus (I have ADHD), so I tend to use my screens a lot to disctract myself and procrastinate. Tysm for this helpful video!
As someone with ADHD I advise you not to get trapped in the productivity rabbit hole. It's a double edged sword for us. Learn discipline and learn to enjoy what you're doing in the moment without obsessing over results or time management.
@@Movel0 I definitely agree with this. It really depends on your goals at the end of the day. I want to be a professional artist, so I need to put in the work, but that only came after I fell in love with drawing and painting. It's true I have to push myself to do it sometimes and it's not always fun, but at the end of the day if I'm not enjoying the majority of my time I wouldn't be doing any of this. If you find something you love it won't feel like just "productivity" anymore, that's why I try to do it as much as I can, because it's my passion and I'm completely obsessed.
This was surprisingly motivational. Usually these types of videos aren't made for creatives AND by creatives, and combined with the addiction to tech and distraction, it's hard to take even good advice to heart. But your personal input really puts a new perspective into the topic. I never thought about "painful boredom time" in fact "creative time". Even if it's painful, seeing it this way is far more motivating than the threat and reality of not being productive. Thank you, Sariya. I'm putting my phone down right now
I've watched that Dr. K video before and it really helped, but I have slid back into wasting time on gaming when I know that I should just go outside and wander. It might be a good idea for me to schedule some needed boredom and fresh air.
As long as you're aware of the problem and trying to do something about it, that's good for now. It will take time to reprogram yourself after most likely years of addiction. I wish you all the best.
this was actually helpful! I think that for artists to significantly improve their art, aside from focusing on the obvious technical skills, we should also pay a ton of attention to our mental health state and general mindset to actually do it more often whilst avoiding obstacles such as frustrations and ennui
I was watching the video when i saw a one of marvel and stopped watching this saying to myself i will do it later it wasn't until today that i watched it complete, and it made me reflect in how i use my time or how my ignorance hurts me in so many aspects 💜✨💜✨
I watch random yt videos to keep myself distracted from real life, which is pretty messy and hectic for me. I tell myself that if there's a lot of negative thoughts on my mind mostly thanks to my family, I can't make something beautiful. I don't know if I'm right but I end up spending 10 times more on yt then drawing or doing something I like. I'll keep your advices on my mind and try not to waste time the wrong way. Thank you so much ❤
Drawing doesn't always have to be positive. If you want it to be your way of expressing yourself, then negative experiences can be often just as powerful and beautiful as positive ones. The key is to stay authentic and express what's truly inside. You can do this even through fanart, just draw someone going through something rough as a means of expressing yourself. I'm not any good at this but this would be my advice, I hope it helps. I wish you all the best!
this was so effective that I had to resist the urge to drop my phone and stare at the ceiling the entire time, now that the video is over it's time to draw 💪
I feel like getting tablet,a drawing tablet will like make feel like you wasted on money on something might just spend it will on it then like scrolling dying from school work and how much stress of how you work has artist
I am pretty bad when it comes to checking my notifications on Discord or watching videos instead of sketching (doing it right now as a matter of fact). I start looking up the refs I need then all of a sudden I'm just looking up more and more artwork that isn't even what I'm trying to draw at the moment or other posts. That's why I try to save the refs to my files and then disconnect from the wi-fi so I'm not tempted to go back to Discord. Facing my fear of screwing up instead of delaying it and losing my momentum.
I genuinely hate how art has become hooked with the internet. When I got back into writing, I surprisingly got better at it by not only reading. But also through cutting out the cancerous tumors out of my recommendations that is writing advice youtube. It’s now become the default for when I’m thinking of a goal for that day. Write this, even if it’s a little at a time. The art community doesn’t provide that, and I’m tired I’m thinking it will. Everyday it’s like I have to rely on art youtube despite its diminishing returns. Not to mention how much of the advice is vague in a demonstration way. Where they draw something and just say “thats how you do it”. As if their hypothetical bubble is meant to represent what the reality of self taught art is. Everyone is trying to sell you something whether it be sponsorships or their courses. I don’t like drawing when I have to follow alongside with these videos. It doesn’t give me the time to execute my own strategies or plans on how to solve problems like “how does the knee work?”. It reminds me of a quote from Doug Tenapel where he said “most artists don’t become artists, they become art teachers instead”. It feels as if as soon as they get popular from telling the same bogus advice. They sell out and halt any progress on the educational side to do the same content millions of others do (ie challenges, art projects, streaming, courses, etc). Funny how you say that we use technology to escape the real world. In reality, the internet is a reflection of our real world. Only difference is that you’re stuck here. And there’s nothing you can do about it.
I think I phrased it really badly in the video, let me explain what I mean. I feel like nowadays everyone (including me) can't bear the sound of silence. It's like you ALWAYS need to have something playing in the background and silence becomes jarring, so you end up never having the time to process your thoughts and I just think that processing your thoughts is really important. I personally recommend avoiding doing "multi-tasking" type of stuff like "oh let me listen to this podcast while I do my homework" and then you end up doing neither. Music is generally fine in my experience but I do like to force myself to go without it at times (for example if I'm going to get groceries I'll keep my headphones at home) because I'm kinda addicted to it and that's never good. There are many videos on music addiction if you're interested. At the end of the day, it's really up to you to decide and it comes down to personal experience. I hope this helps and thanks for watching

Same🙂↕️

The power of boredom for being creative and having ideas, very very valuable insight. Thank you so much!
i think I'm too addicted to other people's opinions. If I think by myself it feels not completed or wrong
Super relatable

@Movel0 noted! Tysm! I'm newly diagnosed so I'm still struggling to figure out everything ^^

I fr gotta lock in. I need that improvement
The most useful video that one could ask for (:
Crucial video right now for me! Thanks for making it and getting all these points together!
this was so effective that I had to resist the urge to drop my phone and stare at the ceiling the entire time, now that the video is over it's time to draw 💪
That my goat right there (very good video no cap)
I feel like getting tablet,a drawing tablet will like make feel like you wasted on money on something might just spend it will on it then like scrolling dying from school work and how much stress of how you work has artist

That's great man, very few people would go that far to do anything, it really shows your dedication. I wish you all the best!
My whole being is trying to deny this. And its been going on for dayyss. I think i need help😅

How long did you meditate before you started seeing progress?
I found this while scrolling... Hmm scrolling must be good it seems
Only scroll until you see my video😎
Hi bro, thank you. 😃 sometimes I need other people to say it to me or I'll be lost in own mind. This video you made is a nice help
I guess this is right...I kept getting worse and worse...
Thank you
I hope this is enough clarification for you to make videos like this
узнал себя
часто ругаю себя за то, что не рисую и бездельничаю и от этого становиться хуже
хах
This was different. Didnt think about the boardem for being creative.
is putting something in the background that bad? i feel like i can't focus if i don't have music i the background.

I feel lonely drawing siiigh
typical "selfimprovement" video, but it works as stop-word for scrolling
