@vespertiliu hi I'm just wondering if you'd ever do a collab with fans like myself? Some of us want help from fellow artists to get started, and appearing in a video of someone well known helps alot.
Ahhhh, you're my favourite artist for real 😭 I love everything about your videos and you and your art, everytime I watch I get so inspired and I feel like I always come out of it feeling better than when I entered. Your videos are such an authentic, healing space for me ❤ I recently got into music making! A friend showed me briefly how to use FLStudio a few days ago, and it's been in my thoughts ever since. I'm constantly itching to open it up and play around with sounds, make melodies, make music. I haven't felt this sort of passion in a long, long time, but I already started feeling the weight of being perfect stopping me from completing any songs. "That's not how this should sound" "why does it feel off?" "it needs more" "it needs less", your video slapped me in the face with the reminder that heading down this perfectionist road again is going to kill my creativity sooner or later. I'm going to try to loosen up, and just enjoy making! Thanks once again, my spooky art teacher! ❤🦇
GO MAKE BEAUTIFUL IMPERFECT MUSIC NOW!!!!! Thank you very much for your kind words. Please, put perfection out of the door and MAKE MUSIC! Listen to the "itching"! Grow the spark of your passion!
“if we wait for perfection to start expressing our creativity through art, then we are doomed to never let it out and never let it live outside of ourselves” oh now this hits hard…
A lot of the time when I sit down to draw I want others to see that I am not wasting my time on art so I would draw and draw and spend hours trying to be good enough or perfect and I forget to have fun. The most ironic thing is that I love when and what I draw a lot more when I'm having fun or if the drawing is for someone. I will be taking your advice into my heart. It all made sense and feels sound! Thank you, Vespertiliu! Have a beautiful day!! ❤🎉❤
Thank you so much. You say the exact words i never knew how to prononce, seeing this video is healing something in me. I’m usually silent under videos in general but i had to thank you for that, you helped someone forgive themselves
Thank you so much for commenting this time. I always appreciate it when you all comment and share your thoughts (and your struggles). You are giving back to me very generously. We can all heal.
"perfection kills passion" hit the hardest for me. It's true. I think a lot of adults stop drawing is because they think about turning their drawing hobby into a carreer and start to compare themselves with professional artists. They (we) don't acknowledge that the professional artists are simply in a later point in their journey. The difference isn't talent, it's the amount of invested time and effort.
Very good points and well explained also. I would also add that TIME is a requirement (hence patience) in the artistic journey, because our brain needs to reprogram itself to be able to learn and improve but also to have a better grasp of our inner selves and our surroundings. So you should enjoy the process (the growth itself) and not STRUGGLE TO BE an artist at all costs, because that is impossible. If it is in your nature, you already are an artist: don't confuse technique with art. Just try to have fun, to enjoy yourself, that's the purpose: good things will come in any case.
10:08 I promise I don't mean this in a weird way, haha! I found your channel through TH-cam searching, and I assume that anyone I have ever met hasn't followed your videos or art. But, without knowing how poopular or famous you are in other circles or countries, I love your talks about creating because I find them unique and rare. In my head, I sometimes think "wow-- I hope she gets more people following her art" because, those days, I assume that you're a hidden underdog. But, other days, I feel like all artists can vanish and appear randomly, any day. The art remains, and what people like is what people like! Thank you for your videos!!
Oh, thank you so much for this video! I’ve been feeling down lately, and your video was like a spark-it always is, in some weird way. You keep me from losing hope in my art, even when I don’t feel like creating. I honestly wish I had met you as my art teacher back in school! There’s so much I want to react to, but I’ll just say that when you talked about pain and tormented feelings for artists, it really resonated with me. I went through a time when I thought that if I stopped feeling those intense emotions, I’d stop drawing. It was such a deep fear that I forced myself to stay in those dark places just to make art. Thankfully, that’s all in the past. If there are any artists out there going through the same thing, I’d say let it go. It’s scary, and it takes a lot of courage to release control and feel like your art is slipping through your fingers. But it’ll only do good-you’ll rise stronger and better, like a phoenix. As you said, there are other emotions worth feeling and exploring through art. Anyway, I’m starting to go too deep, so I’ll stop here. Just wanted to say I’m really happy you made this video! The quotes “I’m an artist” and “Let’s make art” will stick with me for a while, like affirmations to my inner child, reminding her that she doesn’t need anyone to call her an artist-she can call herself that. Thank you again! Have a lovely week, and I’m looking forward to your next video! 🌹
I always remind myself about 1. what an artist publically shows AND what we "see" their art as are only a fraction of what their work is like. similar to a crush or a boyfriend-- no one else sees them just like you do, and they can't show every side of themselves at once! 2. I'm usually assuming how long a certain drawing or project took. 3. I'm usually assuming that what is shown is the first attempt, or the first finished piece. A lot of artists will fully draw something, like a comic page, multiple times. It's not just multiple rough drafts, but learning how to draw the same piece again. There's a video about past artists "doing it twice" on TH-cam.
I've fallen out of making art frequently. Im taking 2 classes, and I have a full time job... not to mention I try doing my job well so I take a lot of work home so I can keep up.. so now drawing has been fading out of my routine. I've hadn't felt as unmotivated to do things until now. Despite not being that good at art, it really did make me happy (regardless of the effort it takes me). Thank you for these videos. It makes me hopeful
Your words always uplift and inspire 🖤 thank you for always being here Even after being an artist for 15 years I still feel like I'm not really an artist sometimes, especially now when I don't have time to finish things. I am an artist, and I am allowed to exist as one whether people see it or not
8:07 A fellow artist judged my art as being too similar to their and brutalized me with words. That traumatized me to the point where I feel like I'm not good enough. Your video really made a difference!
Your videos are so necessary to all people who are creating arts. Recently I overcame this feeling which I wasn't an artist just because my art is not perfect and I am not a professional artist. And about quick and imperfect art sometimes I did this kind of stuff and the arts I do this way are my favourite and it's great no have too much concerns and thoughts to create a piece of art. Well done for the video, every artist should watch it.
i've been drawing so many years now and got so good at it but yet to make it professionally. meanwhile i see some people going professional in 2-5 years at most. makes me so sad as it's super discouraging. why does it not happen to me my art is just as good objectively if not more.
So reaaal. Patience is smth so difficult to develop like I used to hate hands bc I COULDN'T DRAW, I was so stressed bc when I tried it didn't work how I wanted so I just skipped every time I could. But one day I was like "f*cked it, I cannot live like this" and tried till worked decently, it took me hours to draw ONE HAND and it wasn't perfect but I did it and now it's still difficult but I'm able to draw hands in almost every angle. Patience is smth I lack of but if I never take the time and accept things can't be perfect at the first try I could never make my art work ✨
I came to watch cats play lol :P I am joking, of course (though I DO love your video editing :))) ). It has been a while since I have visited but I always thoroughly enjoy your observations. You are wise beyond your years and present your points in such an excellent manner. I have experienced any number of these points during the course of my photography work (semi-professional work only, for it is not full time). You're to be admired for sharing such points. I always chuckle during your vids and nod my head in agreement. Your study of the psychology of artists is spot on. Well done, as always! :)
Thank you so much! I really appreciate your analysis of my content here. I'm really glad you liked it. Also, I really appreciate you had fun with my cats ahahahah
Can u do a video about fear to be seen cause i m indecisive i dk if i wanna publish sm or not cause i m kind jealous of my work and afraid of beung stolen from ai lol And when to consider urself good enought cause i can t see much improvement

I have this exact problem! I've been doing this for 4 years, and I still feel like a fraud. This is helpful.
Sending hugs 🫂🦇♥️

I’m sure she has so much on her plate but that’d be a great segment to have on one’s channel. Great idea
Ive been drawing my whole life, ive been really bad at art but i was really confident on my art, always conceded myself an artist :)
This video made me feel like I just went to therapy, thank you veronica🦇
You are welcome 🫂🦇♥️

I'm so glad you felt this way about it. Thank you so much

I Think You Said It Very Well Done, Artists Are Supposed To Show Their Experiences Through Music And Art So They Show At The World THEY MATTER!
Your words always uplift and inspire 🖤 thank you for always being here
Even after being an artist for 15 years I still feel like I'm not really an artist sometimes, especially now when I don't have time to finish things. I am an artist, and I am allowed to exist as one whether people see it or not
YES PERIOOOOD T____T YOU ARE AN ARTIST!!!

All you said here are extremely important! Thank you for share your thoughts with us ♥
Very inspiring and encouraging. Great video!
Thank you very much
nahhhhhh no one can stop me from purposely looking for negative experiences to live out my Lord Byron fantasy, close tho
I tried my best 🫡
i've been drawing so many years now and got so good at it but yet to make it professionally. meanwhile i see some people going professional in 2-5 years at most. makes me so sad as it's super discouraging. why does it not happen to me my art is just as good objectively if not more.
