could you possibly release the downloads to week 2? imma be traveling and would like to print them before I leave
@@dont_worry_about_it2861 yup!! i'm still finalising them tbh, but i should have them up within 2 days (hoping that works for ya!)
I just signed up IM SOOO STOKED
I can't believe this is free 🙏
Hi! Maybe you could write or post that it is actually for free. I checked the link only to see the price and I was shocked.
I suppose a lot of people don't even bother assuming it costs $$ or that it is a massive upsale to a "real" and expensive course.
Thank you for making it for free..that's amazing
It's wild that even a content creator with almost A MILLION subscribers hesitates to post all of their work. Like, almost a million people have decided that they want to listen to you over and over again, and somehow there is still fear. Definitely puts things into perspective. Thanks for all your work, good luck!
To let almost a million people down is scary. People unsubscribe for any reason.
@@H0mework True true, good point.
Moreover, if the curse of little to no audience is lack of engagement and community, a large audience will put immense pressure on you to please them instead of doing what you want. Plus the increase of bad actors, bad faith interpretations of everything and anything you do/say, para social relationships etc etc
I don't think getting "sick" of you is possible. Your passion and energy is infectious, and if nothing else, I love you just for that. Not to say I don't love what you do too.
Seriously.
Yeah, you are a godsend.
This dudes energy is something that makes my day quite often
and what if my desire for easy and carefree life is higher than anything else so my passions is only hurting and tormenting me? i've been taking meds, they didn't helped with it at all and i can't change it anyhow. I want to create beutiful things, my own stories, worlds, creatures, characters, be very creative and original like some asian artists or idk, but in the end, i just can't make myself to learn anything because learning is uncomfortable, painful and hard, and i can't enjoy doing something because it's overwhelming my brain and hurting me from seeing i can't create what i want and can't do it good, my brain naturally can't bear the slighest amount of stress/hardships and endlessly escaping from all those responsebilities and from reality, from my life and myself only to feel peace and not having any pain/stress. I've been forcing myself to draw at least something (or i would never become a good artist and will achieve nothing!) and in the end, after 5 years, i only destroyed myself completely and now i'm just existing as walking corpse without soul.
You are and have been an inspiration to me!! I’m a 65 yr old woman, grandma of 7, who lives in the USA. I tell you this to have you realize how far your reach is! Thank you for all you do! Release all!!
I'm not far behind you agewise and would like to second everything you said. Except for the grandchildren. I don't have that many... yet.
And to you, Cam, thank you for continuing to inspire and motivate me.~ Lisa
69 here, with a gang of kids, grandkids, and great grandkids. I hope Cam gets an idea of just how many different people he touches!
I’m 59 and yeh’ me too. Age is a mindset.
You got that right!!! 😁@@Sarah-ht7cs
I'm 66! Struthless has brought me sanity! (well, the kind of sanity that allows for just the right amount of insanity to live a creative existance.) This guy and this community are just simply the best of the internet best!
I am so glad that I decided to answer your last polls and that even that tiny bit of involvement makes me feel more accountable to actually continue and follow you on this journey. Sounds scary and amazing. I'm thrilled. Thank you!
I feel the same. Just saying yes to a poll was a level of commitment
This is a funny coincidence-- after I saw one of your last videos about "Harnessing your Stallion" I used that template to finally start a project that I've been thinking about for years: Painting the entire alphabet of flowers combined with various animals (what I call "Fleurlings"). I was so hung up on wanting to do this project but not being able to decide on the constraints... what kind of creatures did I want to make? How many should I make? Etc. I kind of arbitrarily settled on the alphabet because I just needed something with a clear deadline, and I can't help but find it funny that the alphabet is what has inspired this project for you, too! Because of that template you made I was able to stop the analysis-paralysis, choose SOMETHING and then actually begin the project. I'm a little over halfway now and I've already had a publisher reach out to have them all turned into a book (set to release in the Spring). So, thank you for the motivation!! Looking forward to seeing where you take this challenge.
Wow this is such an exciting post! It’s great to hear how you’ve applied what you learned here. Inspiring!
This guy is so charismatic, it's like you can't avoid smile after his videos
I usually don't post my thoughts on the internet, but here it goes. Funny story, right before I watched this video I was preping to do a 15 day challenge of writing one short story everyday based on 15 topics. Then I watched this video. The stars couldn't have lined up more perfectly. Thank you Cam.
Wtf are the odds that I decided THIS WEEK to litterally do an alphabetical weekly drawing callenge for myself to get back into drawing and then you have just dropped this?
You had me at THE POWER OF A FOCUSED BODY OF WORK!! 😍
Why am I so excited about this challenge? 😁🤸🏼 I’m not a “creative”, but I absolutely could use a motivation/inspiration boost and I love the “scope” worksheet. So… I’m IN. 😮
This Challenge was made for ME!! Thank you so much Struthless! I can't wait to see all of the Amazing work my fellow Challengers will produce and SHARE! Struth... YOU ROCK!!
Kinda scared this'll join a long list of abandoned projects (I'm gonna start art school from September so no idea how much time I'll actually have) but definitely hyped to see this project develop! Looking at it, it looks so nice and actually helpful so I'll definitely get something out of it haha
Just wanted to say that you've always been a huge inspiration to me. I've been working hard on my TH-cam channel and creating the life I want for years now. I always come to your videos when I'm feeling down and need that push. Every time I post a new video, I feel a mix of excitement and accomplishment, but there's also a deep fear that I still can't identify. I know that one day the work will pay off, I just need to keep going and not let the hard times get me down. I always look forward to your videos and get a rush when I see that you've posted something new. So thank you for continuing to be an inspiration for myself as well as the rest of us creative folk. ❤
Back in 2019, I launched my TH-cam channel with a series of videos call "Grown Up Gap Year A-Z." It was hard and scary, but I ended up with a super helpful body of work. And my community went from 0 to thousands pretty quickly. Good luck to everyone joining the challenge!!
Cam, this video could not have come at a more perfect time. There's a video I've been dreading posting since the last month. Thank you for doing what you do. It helps us more than you realise.
I've been following you for about three years now and I've always loved your content. I'm so excited about this project. Proud of you
One of my favorite things to do in the world are game jams- where individuals or teams of people get together for 24, 48, 72 or more hours and slap together a game with all the rough edges and bugs and passion they can muster. It was the first thing I thought of when I saw the notification and thumbnail, but *six months* of one game per week? That's easily the most daunting project I've ever considered in my life.
Could you split the process of making a game into 26 smaller tasks?
@@beccyshore1303 I think that defeats the purpose of the exercise, doesn't it? A brand new idea each week that you work on and release. Get into the habit of putting your work out there, instead of just toiling away at it for ages, or getting stuck on some far-fetched idea that doesn't pan out, or freezing because your work doesn't meet some unreasonably high standard you've set for yourself.
That said, I *have* considered doing a single game in which there are 26 levels/areas/whatevers, one for each week. I'm still mulling over whether it fits the "spirit" of things though.
Hi, incredible vid, just one small thing for next time, please balance your L/R audio channels, with headphones this vid sounds a bit weird
I am a multi passionate creator and one of the reasons I find myself "blocked" is because I am overwhelmed and can't choose a medium to express through. So I have no idea which of my interests/talents to choose for the challenge. All of them ??
Thank you for sharing this for free. That's just amazzzing.
just said to a friend today that i have so many creative ideas but I struggle on how I put them into action, or I am too perfectionist/insecure and never post my stuff. this video popping up on my feed seems godsend. cant wait to start the challenge!
HE'S THE BEST MAN ON THE INTERNET HE HAS GIVEN ME/US SO MUCH AND HE KEEPS GOING I LOVE HIMMMM (fr following you was the best thing I did my guy you're filling the big brother role for so many of us ily *senti as fuckk rn*) your daughter is so lucky to have you as her father I'm happy for her ❤️
I am very excited for this project and admittedly, I want to really push myself to try it and stick with it. I don't do a ton of online challenges like these, but your videos about creativity and mental health are some of the most insightful and valuable to me personally. I listen back to them when I need to remind myself of some important truths about creativity, failure, and art. Super excited for you and me and everyone who's gonna jump into this!
Bless you creative king! Week 1 printed ! Let's do this , omg it's gorgeously laid out too everything is so aesthetically pleasing
I am so impressed by your ability to come up with this and really grateful for the opportunity. Thank you!
This is amazing, all your content is, it never disappoints (and if it would that wouldn’t matter as long as your heart was in it) thanks man! Also big thanks for making it free, really feels like your on our side :)
I. AM. SOOOO STOKED FOR THIS!!! I’m in!!! Mega gratitude for you showing up and sharing with us 🙏🙏🙏🙏💚💚💚💚
Long time lurker here. Gosh, I love your energy and good vibes. Definitely joining! Can't wait to see everyone else's stuff, too.
The amount of work that has gone into the site/sheet is phenomenal, this is how I want to show up in the world! Thank you!
I've been becoming sick of my works, I was thinking about quitting art (specifically digital art) completely, and yet here thou ignited a spark. I am excited to make this challenge. x
Back after checking out the site and signing up. Amazed at the thoughtfulness and how thorough it all is, and for free. Legend. Excited to see what people create!
Dude! Who knew a challenge could get this procrastinating ADHD mind going finally. Been stuck in myself for weeks... I needed this to start my channel. Thanks!
I needed this so much. Thank you!!!!! If I can follow through all those weeks my life is gonna be different on the other side.
This is great, man. I’m fully in. When I’m being most prolific - I’m unconsciously creating a similar framework - I love seeing it organized and concise. I’m excited!
Just signed up and already feeling jazzed about it. And nervous. I thought to myself “yeah I could make one of (x) every week, but they will likely end up being pretty shitty.” But thinking on that i feel like most of the point of this (for me anyway) is to get out of my own way and not hold back on making things but just create for the sake of creating. And the constraints idea is GENIUS. I tend to get overwhelmed by choices and that is conducive to mind-melting procrastination. Thank you good sir, this is going to be fun and super *juicy*
3:23 it's "zed" hell yeah mate!!!
thanks so much, cam!!!
one of the big factors that hold me back is not only the absence of restraint from creative freedom, but also the absence of community and audience. what to do, how to show up, WHO to show it to??
alphabet superset definitely has them all in place so i better join, or i might lose another 6 months, yikes 😢
I'm so pumped for this challenge. Also, I have no idea what type of work I want to create for it. But I'm stoked to be here.
It took me this long to figure out what I wanted to do! Thanks for designing an art community project and letting us all participate - for free even! Finally going to try my hand at doing book cover art for some of my favorite novels.
I never thought I could be "creative". I always said to myself that I was pretty bad at this kind of stuff. I am one of those who didn' answer the poll, telling me that's not for me. So I'm still much further than the issue of "posting 100% of my work". I would already have to dare to do creative work. Sounds totally crazy to me, but that's what I love about this channel, enthusiastic and contagious madness. I'm in
I had been waiting for you to announce the Super Big Project ever since I saw you post about it on Instagram. I’m so excited about joining and I know me and so many others with benefit from this. You are so brave, genius and inspiring!! Thank you, Cam!
Im pumped but also really nervous and excited to see what we all come up with!
There's SO much work put into this, the structure, the website, and the downloadables! Thank you, will try and apply it to a photo series ❤
Oh man! I’m excited and scared. A pretty reasonable combo. Thanks so so much for doing this. And your tenacity and humour and passion. Makes it easier to do it together that’s for sure! Here’s to finally committing to what I’ve been thinking about for years…….. here’s to us, (aka everyone signing up), and saying hi to the fear as we cruise on by.
Big believer in divine timing. When you said you don’t know why it’s taken you this long, I needed this at this moment. Thank you.
I was one of those that answered the poll. I definitely feel like I found the motivation and momentum from somewhere recently and I finally started posting again. I have let go of perfectionism and it feels great.
Personally, I’m really looking forward to seeing a lot more of you on TH-cam. Thanks for always being an inspiration 😊✌️
I'm IN! My therapist recommended I try to do more creative things and this feels like a sign to follow that advice.
as a student in university I'm not sure if I'll be able to participate, but I have to say the website alone is so beautifully designed and everything about this is just really motivating!
Hey so! Thanks so much for the superset. Ive got to M so far. I just realized while watching another one of your videos today that, the superset is a bit like the coin trick you describe, of putting coins from one tub from another. In the sense that the more of it you get done the more your confidence and motivation grows and your sticking power.
I had a week the other week where i nearly packed it in, but then a discord user said hey...........we are neatly half way. and yeah, i guess thats a similar effect.
Now im considering making a little tub with coins for the rest.
Anyways
Thanks so much. Since i joined your project ive managed to write 13 songs that would never of got written, and performed two live shows that never would of happened!
Plus its helped me to heal from the fear of having a psychosis again (Has not happened again since 2015) by trusting myself and daring to create consistently.
So yeah. Really awesome you made that for free for everyone!
You have clearly put so much work and heart into this, it already looks like it will be an amazing project! Will try my best to participate, as I'm just a creative wannabe 😁
I have a lot going on in my life right now so I don't know if if I'll be able to join... but I'm definitely saving this for later. Thanks a lot for pouring so much into this, Cam, and for making it available to everyone for free. You're an incredibly generous and inspiring person :)
The delightful thing about not having a post schedule for the channel is that I get to have the absolute delight of getting a notif of a new Struthless vid out of nowhere on an awful day :)
I did not expect this to be free. You have a big heart struthi
I've been watching your channel since I first found your video on ignorant tattoos and love your content. I'm one of those people who's been wanting to get started sharing their work online but just can't seem to do it for various reasons. Thank you so much for this. All of your content is so motivational while being very human and grounded, and this project is the kind of community builder that so many people need.
Thank you so much, this is the push I needed to start creating longer videos! It's so overwhelming trying to figure out what to make and I'm super excited to have a focus and outlined plan to use as I work towards this goal.
I love this CAM and I cannot wait to participate! I am also reading through your book right now and doing daily decluttering of my Houseboat, so I am excited to be in the creative flow with a community. I also wanted to point out we appreciate you so much, and not posting 100% of your work is okay! You share so much with all of us, some of it could just be for you!! Artistic Love and Hugs to you and your fam! See you in the challenge!
Speaking for myself, I'm not too scared to share 100% of my work. I'm just too lazy, because sharing beadwork takes so much longer than actually making the beadwork, and I am VERY prolific. Except the last three months. Been kind of a dry spell. So I'll definitely be following this project and maybe even join in! I definitely need new brick stitch pixel art silliness in my life.
I think this is just what I needed. Thanks for supporting your community and putting all this up for free. You're a real one.
You make me feel less alone and crazy for the things that race through my head. Thank you. Alphabetsuperset sounds fabulous, and I hope I can keep up with everyone. I cannot believe it's free!
This looks amazing! You've put so much work into this already! Thank you!
You don’t MISS!!! I needed this, honestly.
I wish he’d touched base about the copyright/art theft side of people’s fear. Creative property doesn’t matter anymore especially with Tik Tok and anyone can remove a watermark/signature. 😔 I haven’t drawn much in years after a huge burst of it because of theft incidents online or from people I know that stopped me from being able to post. I’ll participate and this idea is brilliant, but I won’t be able to post them sadly.
Cannot wait for this project! Have been on the road to revitalizing my creative mojo for a while now and I feel like this is a sign. Looking forward to art, community, and more of your content! Sensing good vibes your way!
I already know what I’m going to do and I can’t wait to follow with this series.
You’re a force for good in world
thank you, Cam. You just made me want to get up out of bed and do this. Have a structure for the next 6 months. When I've been analysis-paralysis trying to come up with a routine myself for the last 2 weeks. : ) Your work really reaches people, Bro.♡
This is so dope, thank you Cam! You’re channel is one of the best things ever.
This is so exciting! I love that there's so much room for customisation and personalisation. Literally for everyone!
im so grateful you've made this. i've been creatively stumped for over a year and i've been "hibernating" at home, trying to clean up all the stuff (endless notes, storage space, organizing hard drives) so that for the next two month i could hopefully create freely again without excuses about my equipment. i was already sensing in the past weeks, that organizing the files into chronological folders is the easy part, and i've been almost worried what happens when i run out of excuses of what i need to prepare first. then i actually have to make the thing, and i've been starting to realize - i'm a little scared. i've been passionate about video making, uploading to youtube since i was 9 years old (im 26 now). i thought i was immune to the internet fear, having grown up always posting, but that's note true. 13 year old me had bigger balls than i do now, and i wanna reconnect with the fearless posting of my creativity. this challenge you've made and community you've brought together is literally god sent to me, thank you! tytyty! and that its free too (no matter how perfect this could be, i cant afford anything right now) its so generous, and could be the tool that gets me to more stability. highly appreciate ur work
You've inspired me for years as a frustrated creative (fellow Sydneysider, although I now live in the UK - the Aussie dialect always makes me smile. I still refer to one of your videos when I talk about 'bush whacking' my way to new paths away from my anxiety). I'm on the brink of launching a social justice enterprise and am (like others) broke AF right now. I've signed up and I'm excited to see if I can get some ideas out of my head, the fear be damned.
Holy cow I’m terrified but excited. You are such an inspiration thank you ❤🎉
Your work is great! It's so odd that someone as talented as you experiences that feeling too. Ultimately, we should share our stuff because we have an obligation to ourselves and others to share our light. Imagine if we all stopped? Dark times.
Eeeeexcitiiiiiiiiiiiing! And the promise of getting super cool struthless Videos Weekly for the next six months!? Aaamazing
I haven't seen your videos for a while, I remember being obsessed with them last year and it helping me through a lot of tough times! but I must say, I am so happy to have found my way back to your channel again
This is so generous.... thank you! It couldn't have come at a better time for me. I've been in a creative slump for so long, I really need this. And it will be so much fun doing it with you and so many others. Love your energy. And I love your book too btw! x
Stoked to join you on this as much as I can. I just did a personal challenge of 100 Character Designs in 100 Days and havign the constraints + time limits was a serious kickstarter of the most improvement I've seen in my art in the shortest timeframe. You're a huge inspo to me - AND to my students who i share your vids with - thanks man!
Your videos always inspire and energise me and I'm stoked!! To try this challenge/experience
I gotta do this I’m looking to try to be more consistent with my life and drive to finish more things thanks for the program
You can do it!!
You're genuinely my favourite creator on youtube, always happy to see your mug :)
THANK YOU!! You couldn't have posted this at a better time for me and I'm sure for 1,000s of other people! I have been working on a filmmaking course over the past week so this just gets me one step closer to my goal! I am grateful for all your videos they have helped so much over the years!
I’m in. I made real progress today with the goal of launching my website on Thursday. Thank you for doing this!!
I'm in!! Been postponing on a project idea for way too long, so this is the push I need. Especially loved the 'plan for your busiest self' and 'double the time you think it takes' in the worksheet. In my head I was already making BIG plans, when I read that part 🤣Ideas are already flowing and 1 piece per week seems so much more manageable than all those daily challenges. Let's do this!!
I don’t think I’ve ever been afraid to post my work, I like sharing what I do, but the issue for me is actually making something in the first place. I’ve come to a point where perfectionism, and depression, and frustration, and just really low energy have completely stopped me from creating anything. I draw, I am an artist, and I haven’t really made anything new since July of 2023. I’m more afraid I’ve lost something, like the will to create.
I'm so excited for this! Thank you for sharing your passion with the rest of us, it's contagious!
Hats off to ya man, love what you're doing. Huge respect and I'm looking foward to the journey, cheers!
Love this just signed up thank you!! I love your videos Struthless you’ve helped me loads, grateful for your work & pushing through the fear! 💓🙏🏼😁
My main problem is not the start, but the commitment to keep going. I do this constantly.
I am definitely in... hope to make it through.
You're actually one of my favorite humans ever like you're genuinely wonderful. + I'm so excited to take part in this!
thank you so much for the inspriation! this is just what i needed to get myself out of a career rut.
Yay!! This is exciting! I’m a new Artist soo it sounds like a perfect way to grow!
I've only just found your channel fairly recently and already your videos have helped me get better in my life. The videos regarding Motivation, Procrastination and Perfectionism have really made me think more about how i'm using my creativity. I would always wait for inspiration to get motivated; I would always Procrastinate because I was either bored or didn't believe in myself; and I would always get angry or depressed if my work of whatever i'm doing isn't perfect enough.
But, after watching a bunch of your videos regarding these topics, I realised that everything I was doing was not the right way to go around things. Your methods of focussing on 1 task instead of multiple tasks at the same time, doing an action first to inspire me and then gets me motivated to do more work as well as focusing on achieving 70% instead of 100%, all of them I use now as they've been really beneficial for me and have gotten me to actually do stuff now instead of sitting in my room procrastinating, watching videos all day and nothing else.
So, in all sincerity, thank you so much for making these videos. They've helped me a lot the past few weeks and have inspired me to get better and be a better person that I was before.
I'm so excited to start this challenge ! I've been so scared to post my work online for all of my life but at the same time I always wished to be courageous enough to do it. I'm gonna try my best, thank you for giving us this opportunity !
Love your efforts and your yelp glad to be a part of this community
Hello there. I love your videos. Thankyou so much for keeping the programme free. Im a student rn and my biggest creative persuit rn is to study in non conventional ways. I study medicine and cant make much artwork but i do want to create methods and workbooks for my self and flash cards and gamify the whole process as much as needed. There arent many creative challenges in my line of work so i would like to join in with you and your creative community to make something valuable. You inspire me alot and i really appreciate you channel. Thanyou so much!
Lets gooo! I'm comfortable posting my shorts no matter the topic, yet with longform I haven't been able to break that barrier, so lets get started!
Thank you so much for this man! Just finished the first week of phase 1 and the ideas have started pouring. This is really exciting as a novice writer.✍️👨💻
Here we go! Can't tell if I'm nervous or excited but lets do it!
Reframing nervous to 'excited' is recommended by experts in performing arts, brain science and sports psychology 🙈😸
Not scared of posting my work. I'm scared I'll never get it done. Distracted and anxious.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS! Thank you for showing up and helping us do the same. I am so excited to finally push myself into my creative flow again. I was laid off during covid and really took my art career seriously and then went back to work at the office so earn more money... i sure miss being able to focus on my art and have more freedom. i am hoping to get back to that and be able to earn a living!
Your videos make me feel confident about art. And the channel is like a cozy place
This coincides perfectly as I'm on week two of the Artist's Way. Looking forward to tackling this challenge along side you. Thanks for putting this plan together and offering it for free. 😮🎉
