Another thing for the beginner artists here to consider: You don't always have to be confident in your work for people to like it, or for it to be considered good. The most important thing is getting stuff done. But, you can create artwork without being totally happy with it. If building confidence requires getting told your art is great, then find an art community where you can post things and then read about how to engage with people to get it seen. You don't have to be entirely confident in your wok to share it and get feedback. You can fake it until you make it with confidence.
I’m starting out, one of my friends is a very good artist that started at an early age. She has a cute style and I’m very jealous and I compare my art to hers a lot. I have my own style. I doodle in class a lot, a few people have said that they think my art looks really good but I always have a feeling that they are lying. I practice a lot but it never turns out the way it did in my head. This video was sooo helpful.
@@alanjimenez9282 ...Do you lie about liking stuff? Are you showing your art to the wrong people? Or maybe it's that sometimes it's hard to put words on what you like and having this problem makes people sound like they're unsure and it sounds like lying?
Same except none of my friends have been drawing like that. I just want my art style to be cuter and more dynamic and simplistic because my style is too stiff and hidden for me because I don’t even understand my own art style, I can’t connect with it, it doesn’t match with me at all and all the art sucks when I draw because of the style
Everyone has stuff they’re bad at drawing. Heck, I can’t even draw humans, I only draw animals. And I don’t color, because WHO has the patience for that. I’m not very good at anatomy, and I’ve grown to hate my own art style, so I’m stuck in limbo between styles. But the way I find confidence is to think of all the things I’m GOOD at and how far I’ve come! Now that it’s been a couple years, I’m sure you’ve grown a lot, even if you don’t see it. If you’re still into art, (I hope you are) I hope that you’ve found more confidence in your art, because your style is YOURS. It’s unique, and reflects all the things you like. So be proud. ❤️
Looking at my past self, I drew a lot of pretty anime-ish stuffs & yes I got better over the years but I suddenly don't feel that I enjoy drawing it anymore & then I knew that I want to have my own art style. It does saddens me when some people tells me 'Hey, your previous art style is better than your new one! Why did you change it?' or 'You should've kept your previous art style. A lot of people liked it.' At that time I lost confidence in drawing & I got depressed. Things were getting rough back then & I hated my art but I didn't want to stop drawing. Now I'm still developing my own art style & I don't care what people say as long I enjoy drawing them. I also start saving inspirations & it really helps motivating me too. I'm really glad I came across your video. This types of videos always kept me going. Thank you for the inspiration. And your art is super adorable!
yeul I have developed my style around a couple months ago and I got bored real quick. I noticed my art style is not good for animating or any medium of art. It’s not very cute, it’s stiff and rigid and it annoys me, and I wanted to try to change it, but my hands and brain don’t want me to change it so they don’t really let me draw pther styles because they don’t want me to spend days crumbling to bits over my art and throwing my sketchbook at my bathroom window while in breakdown mode, sobbing and scribbling with my copics and posca pens all over my god dayum body. Does anyone have any advice?
came across your channel this morning and i have fallen in love with your style and drawings you have such and original look and i enjoy your vids alot
as have i except it was today haha now i find myself binging these videos and loving them cx (instead of studying for my test tomorrow hahawoops) good luck on the arts!
Confidence is something that's hard to master. Same goes with Patience. I have suffered with a lot of confidence issues and it's been really hard. But, of course, I kept going. And if I hadn't had kept going, I wouldn't be the person I am today. This video, shows how much that confidence is a hard thing to master, and I like that :)
Mhm. When i draw people i feel like im copying everybody else and it just unmotivates me when i draw people. So im starting at the beginning and drawing other things than people now :) I have to kinda start from the beginning now and try to draw objects or like bugs and stuff, but honestly drawing other things and not people makes me feel better! :)
I've been extremely hard on my art lately. My friend gave me a pretty harsh critique. She couldn't find a single thing she liked about my art(even tho she claims i'm a good artist) and so the negatives list is so long i struggle to find something to be proud of. It absolutely sucks
Right... Don't focus so hard on one person, even if they're your friend. I've had friends I rarely show a drawing to. They just have interests that aren't art related, or that are directed at styles that are nothing like mine. Also: sometimes I can tell someone is really skilled at something even if I don't like their art or even their personality!
Well, while I was searching for "Introverted artists" I came across this video. Not what I was looking for but, there's been some valid points that caught my attention. Either than that, if you're looking getting into a professional career as an artist, you need to have a personality that other people are willing to work with. I'm having trouble socializing and just a lot of anxiety issues. Of course, I'm working on this but if any of you have this same situation and there's a certain book you read or videos you watch, feel free to recommend it to me. Have a lovely day guys!
FIRST...This is going to be a long comment...ops😅 Who was your inspiration. I've been trying to study your art it wood help. Also what watercolors do you use? They look fun! I wood love if you answered them both. idk if someone already sed this before but I LOVE your voice!!! :D😍 It's so relaxing! Can you maybe make a video on Why you draw ants? I what to know is it because they are so small and cute?!🐜 Ps: YOUR MY FAVORITE TH-camR😂 Plz reply
I don't really have any one particular inspiration, I just soak up a lot of content from amazing artists on social media! QOR. Please check the description for any supplies questions. ;) Prompt 20 is where the ant obsession started, no other reason than I fell in love with them! Thank you! :)
God, I compare myself to past me, and I'm jealous on how I drew people back then (even though it wasn't that good to start with), and the people I draw now is garbage :, )
Zoie Cleghorn Some people don't share your same religious beliefs. You don't get to dictate what others are allowed to say. If you think I'm going to go to Hell, Jesus fucking Christ. So be it.
Zoie Cleghorn That doesn't mean that I think you shouldn't believe in God. You can believe in whatever you want, it doesn't bother me. But it's the internet, I'm gonna say whatever I want.
Don't be hypocritical, though. If you're allowed to say whatever you want, they're entitled to do the same. I can see how it can be disrespectful to Zoie if people say God's name in vain, and I don't think putting them down is making the situation better.
Honestly it's channels like yours that helps me build confidence. When I was younger I couldn't even show my family my art and now I am trying things I never had before (like backgrounds). This last year has been one of my most improved years because I have been watching creators like you! I now post art every week on social media and it's something I never thought I would get to. Thank you!
+Annamatopoeiaa That's great to hear! I think putting your work out there is a good way to boost confidence as well... shoot, that would have been good to include, haha.
Oh my goodness! I found you just a little while ago (like 2 hours ago) and just have LOVED your art, and personality!! You are so inspiring and just amazing, and hope to someday even collab with you when i start my YT channel. Thanks for being the coolest bean! -Gracie :3
It is no problem at all! and i mean it! Also, i think a great challenge (if you havent done it before) would be the three random color challenge. If you dont kbow what it is, go to LavenderTowne's channel and find it! You guys are super cool!!
I love your art style one time I tried it and I failed and I kept trying and trying I couldn’t do it! So finally I came up with my own art style which I LIVE FOR!
Hey Kasey, sorry I have been missing your livestreams. I feel like you always know what to say on these topics. You are so professional in a personal way..... I know those are opposites but they seem to be "one" in you. You keep getting better, I notice it in your progression through out your videos. Good job Kasey, I hope to get better at drawing. Practice is hard to find time when I'm so busy with school work. Especially when all I want to do when I finish school work is sleep, not draw. I need to try. Thanks for motivating me Kasey. Oops sorry this is so long.... I hope you still read it. Thanks.
+NerdyGirl CC Thank you! I feel ya. When I worked 40-60 hours a week I almost never drew. It's hard finding motivation... I'll try to talk about that soon!
You've helped me feel less awkward at drawing the human body in it's full, and really appreciating it and its curves and shapes, ty for that. it's helped my style develope a lot. I'm pretty much drawing topless mermaids for the entirety of mermay to help with making my poses less stiff and rigid, also just anatomy.
Hey Kasey, I just found you! ^^ Looks like some great stuff on your channel. I'm looking forward to seeing more. Aaaand I'm probably gonna marathon watch you while I work on some stuff this evening. Nice to meet you!
I started drawing when i was 3... People compliment me but i can tell they lie.. They roll their eyes and compare me to artists.. But I am only 9 and i am proud of my art style! Everyone who is lacking confidence, keep going! Everyone is amazing and talented at their own style :))) I know everyone will become a good artist sooner or later!
"Look back a year ago... five years... etc" Oof I've destroyed any and all evidence that I've ever picked up a pencil with artistic intent in the past several years
I love the way you waste your pages in your books just to help out other people. The quote is true.....your heros don't need to wear capes...mine is a beautiful, nice, artist who cares about her subscribers and people in need of help. Thank you, Kasey! We love you!
One really useful tip for people who are having trouble drawing well is looking up reference pictures similar to what you want your art to look like. Not tracing or copying exactly, but looking at specific parts of the drawing and how others have done it, and passing some of the usefull information you've learned onto your drawings.
This is amazing and very uplifting for someone still learning the art craft. I've only recently found your videos and they are inspiring! I hope you get many more subscribers and I can't wait for the next video to come out!
It’s such a good feeling to look back at your old crappy art and see how much you improved overtime. When you’re first starting out, I myself thought I was gonna be a perfect artist and get everything right and it was so much more difficult then I thought. It really does take years to master your art and for me it took about 7 years to get to a place where I’m happy. Yet I still have so much to improve on. But when I look back at my old art I feel good because I remember when I was younger I wanted to be at the place of where I am now and I made that happen. (I hope that last sentence made sense) So it really helps to look back at your old art because for me it gave me confidence to keep drawing and hopefully it does the same for others.
Wow, how have I not found your TH-cam channel before? Or even better, why am I not subscribed to you? You're friends with Rin, your videos are soooooooooo creative, and, you give amazing tips! Round of applause for Kasey!!!!! (PS, you earned a new subscriber 🤗)
I think your art style is simple, clean, cartoonish and its cute! I always watch your videos and you always motivate me. Your artstyle is you, dont change for anyone but for yourself. Keep going!!!!!!!!!!
Aaaaand now I just remembered something my old 2nd-grade teacher used to say, "Patience is a virtue. Virtue is a grace. Put 'em both together: get a very happy face!" Or something like that, I don't know, that was a long time ago, but it's definitely stuck with me for a while even though is till don't completely get it cause I keep forgetting the definition of virtue (Virtue: a behavior showing high moral standards)
in order to get inspired and more confident i go back to my art that i liked at the time and hate now and then redraw it. sometimes i just cringe and laugh at it and see how much i improved and remember that i’m only 13 and i have a whole new rode of improvement that i’m going down. it helps me and makes me want to push down that rode!
Your commentary on this topic honestly helped me a decent bit. Confidence is hard to build at times and this sort of thing is honestly really encouraging, especially learning that many others worked through the low points, too, and made it through. I think these tips are really helpful, especially to people who want to share their gifts with people but have trouble finding ways to get the confidence to do so. Side note: I honestly LOVE your style. Simpler styles are their own challenge altogether and yours is fantastic and easily recognizable!
This gives me hope, most of the time, I sit there and praise my work, but then someone says it's bad. Then it makes me upset and I stop, but this video gives me hope that I can do better, Thank's Kasey your like. A God :))
...Some people are more sensitive than others to feeling accepted by others... I think you and I are different, but I can say to you that if your belief in what you do is well because you've made good decisions, it's so much easier to fend off the opinion of others.
Any time that I find myself in an artistic rut, I watch this again to help give me a bit of a boost. Lacking confidence can be so overwhelming and draining. My favorite advice from this is to compare my art to my past work. It's a simple and straight forward advice but I tend to forget how much I've improved through the years. So thank you, Kasey.
When I was younger, I was basically the artsy kid in the class, always drawing... For some reason I stopped. And I really REALLY wish I hadn't..... T_T
This helped alot. I've been struggling to find an art style i like,but i either end up not likeing it or just wel, hating it. I kinda found a concept to hang on to when drawing characters, but sometimes I feel like I just cant do it. But like I said, this video helped alot and I hope I improve like you did or at least gain more confidence. Thank you.
These tips can and will help me in the future. I just finished the picture for the cover of my binder yesterday, and when I look back on the past two years of my binder covers, I see that my style has really grown and gotten better. So thank you (and p.s that third sketch of you drawing with your feet is awesome and hilarious at the same time)
+•Midnight Sky• I'm glad I can help! Sometimes I look back at my old drawings and it's really inspiring to see how far I've come without noticing. It's a nice boost! Thank you! :D
I am one of younger viewers too! I am ten (and don’t go spamming me with that I am too young because my parents said I could do this) and I have a drawing channel too! I even made a rabbit drawing inspired by your ant drawings :P I love your ant drawings and what not so much! You are amazing and because of you, I was confident enough to finally do a voice over in one of my videos
i have a friend named "Kooleen Cheska Fernandez" and she's a really great artist that i have completely felt jealousy on her at first i wasn't jealous at her because all i do is make comics but when i started in digital,i started to get jealous at her,i keep comparing my drawings to hers and worst,she keeps having more success than me! i keep asking to myself "why i wasn't her?,why she is more successful than me? why everyone prefers her,not me?" i've been making comics for 6 years,and i am 16,i am doing this for the sake of my future since i'm not good at learning and focusing so i'm focusing on my comics instead,but being surrounded by artists who are better than me,it's making me want to give up,especially my friend Kooleen is getting better and better that i can't keep up and surpass her anymore i use to think that i am the greatest comic writer of all of classrooms but not in the world
one thing i learned in life is that when you judge yourself, you judge others. this can be applied to pretty much anything in life. if you hate yourself you see all the negative in people. in a similar way this applies alot to art too. if you want your art to look like others art, you judge their art. even if it is in a good way, considering what time and effort goes into it might help you on your journey. also, YOUR art is YOUR art. every single line you make, every tiny bit of paint spilled is part of what YOU made. no one will be able to do your exact mistakes and follow up with YOUR thoughts. whatever you do, dont be ashamed even if you hate it. when i create art i dont like, maybe i just didnt have the energy to create something great that day. just think about your art journey as a living thing - something that changes, something that has good times and bad times, your art is a reflection of yourself.
I tried to draw you style Kasey and I did ok but I promise once I get better at it I will give it my own changes to make it my own you have really inspired me to draw cartoonish and my art has improved so much because of you!!!!
I used to hate my art. No matter what I did, it sucked. But then, a few weeks ago, I started painting every single day, and now I'm alreasy so much more confident and have improved a LOT in just a couple of weeks!
I compare myself to others and that puts me down to where I don't even want to draw and I continuously think that it isn't good. When I found out my grades for art , they weren't amazing and when my parents asked why I thought maybe my teacher put my grades so low because others art is much better. I need motivation and confidence in art which I both lack alot. I also don't want people to think that I try to draw but can't.
here's a tip from a young and aspiring artist ; don't focus on time. i started taking art seriously in november 2016, when i purchased my own drawing tablet with my own money. i was intimidated by all my digital art friends who were better. so you know what i did? *i drew so much i lost track of time!* i designed my style into something i wanted to see. then i slowly started to adapt how teakip and p666t drew their characters' feet into my style. then how scotch draws hands. and i'm not the best, but i'm better than i was in 2016. gosh, i didn't even know that i improved until my friend pointed it out to me last month! heck, i'm still firing and accommodating different thinks in my style today!! digitally and traditionally!!
okay i just want to say something. if your not confident in drawing, and you end up drawing a part you dont like, or drawing something like as an example, a head or a face, that doesn't look like what you had in mind, just use it. because if you restart the whole drawing, then it probably means that your kinda not comfortable with drawing things your not used to drawing. you can redo the drawing if you want, but if you continue drawing things, you normally wouldn't draw, or doesn't exactly look good in your head, then you might get confident in your art. ive kinda started just going with it (what i mean is, by how i draw.) i started getting confident in drawing things, i normally wouldn't draw. so just try to use what you didn't like what you were drawing, instead of starting over. and you might be surprised at what you came up with. and yes i know most of this doesn't make any sence.
Funny...talking about confidence while being unconfident. Lolol This is maybe the best vid I have seen on the topic it's so raw between the lines, and you nailed it! Beautiful piece. I'm pretty ok in my genre, but I gained from your perspective. Great vid. TY for sharing raw.
Thank you so much, this actually helped me a lot since my confidence is basically nonexistent, and this made me start to look at everything different in a positive way!
You and your art style are the biggest inspiration for me to draw. Sometimes i thought "I can't draw this so well, like her". But now I know that everybody can draw, even children :D
I help my confidence because my classmates say I'm the best artist in the class and there amazed by my art and when i look at there face once they see my art it makes me feel better :D
Hey Kasey! Your video is inspiring to many who want to draw and helping them to believe in themselves that they can draw. I've been drawing on and off most of my life, i have big issues with my 'can do' attitude and having confidence in drawing. I wanted to become a good artist all of my life and tried so hard to draw, but i kept messing up on proportions like hands, fingers, feet, body, faces, etc. I tried looking at references and tried to improve...but i kept on hitting brick walls and i kept on getting frustrated and gave up. I know you need a lot of patience to draw but my patience limits are not great and i want to become a good artist and some day become a good animator and make my own cartoons. But those dreams are so far away and i fear i will never get there.... i have depression and it's hard for me to get out of it and have confidence with thing overall in life... i guess i'll never be good... I dunno what else i can say? It feels like I’m bothering you with this comment. But anywho...i'll let you reply if you wish....if it is deemed worth it...
i finally started to get confident in my art but that kind of stopped earlier when my friend insulted one of my drawings... i felt really bad about it but i’m not gonna let that stop me from drawing because i like what i do! don’t let other people tear you down
I’m ten and I have an art style, sometimes it’s very detailed and sometimes cartoonish, I love it and I love yours as well but I don’t really have confidence but you handed it to me and so did strangers, thank you kasey, plus I’m indo Canadian. Underline the Canadian.
I've only started to get into art this year when I was 9, every single day I drew about 5 pages of drawings! and the result was huge! your videos motivated me so much, thank you!! ☺️
Really the best thing is to practice and work for enjoyment until you gain enough confidence on your own to feel competent and comfortable with your art. Like she said it takes time to improve which might seem daunting but you neee to realize if you get really dedicated, work regularly and just stick with it the time will fly by and you'll improve faster. Even the little achievements that keep you going will all add up and that time of becoming more confident will happen sooner than you think and encourage a positive cycle with an improvement mindset. For the people that are feeling doubtful about being good enough besides what i just wrote I want you to know that when you practice regularly you'll be alot better in a certain time like in 2 months or a year than you would've thought then you believed you could've been like rn. For example when I started learning to play instruments/make music and did it regularly i was alot better and confident in a year then me starting would have expected me to be. While I was enjoying it and keeping an improvement mindset the year in some regards flew by, didn't seem so long, and by the end of it i was confident enough in myself and that snowballs over the years. This also applies to other skils like making music in general, writing, etc. Now I can't wait to immersive myself and learn about drawing and visual art to. Lastly it's good to always be learning

like a God

Thanks for this! I feel a little more confident in my wok (I had to make this joke im sry)!
I love that

Omg, the plant grew a pencil! Is that what happens when you grown in confidence?! You can grow free art supplies?! I want this to be true!
That'd be amazing 😂 😂
I can confirm that this is indeed true
Ah yes im planting a copic tree today then

I have the exact same opinion as you also we are both army’s.
Lmao I people always tell me that " oh the old one looks better" when Im actually trying to improve my art style into something I like
yeul I have developed my style around a couple months ago and I got bored real quick. I noticed my art style is not good for animating or any medium of art. It’s not very cute, it’s stiff and rigid and it annoys me, and I wanted to try to change it, but my hands and brain don’t want me to change it so they don’t really let me draw pther styles because they don’t want me to spend days crumbling to bits over my art and throwing my sketchbook at my bathroom window while in breakdown mode, sobbing and scribbling with my copics and posca pens all over my god dayum body.
Does anyone have any advice?

Confidence is something that's hard to master. Same goes with Patience. I have suffered with a lot of confidence issues and it's been really hard. But, of course, I kept going. And if I hadn't had kept going, I wouldn't be the person I am today. This video, shows how much that confidence is a hard thing to master, and I like that :)
+Miha Sama And once you master it, you feel great!
Kasey Golden Yup!
Mhm. When i draw people i feel like im copying everybody else and it just unmotivates me when i draw people. So im starting at the beginning and drawing other things than people now :) I have to kinda start from the beginning now and try to draw objects or like bugs and stuff, but honestly drawing other things and not people makes me feel better! :)
OK IM JEALOUS OF UR ART STYLE OK. DETAIL IS HARD AND I FEEL PRESSURED AND I LOVE SIMPLE ART!! BUT I STILL LOVE MY ART STYLE ♥️
Earth Master uhm not to be rude but they didn’t ask for your opinion they clearly stated they love their art.
Yes, she was just being helpful and encouraging.
Diamond Ocelot925 I’m d too 😄

This actually inspired me Because my self esteem sucks and I'm easily Jealous of Other artists better than me

yas, much better
True
YASSS Kasey Golden is my senpai!
I wish my senpai was an artist but kasey is! My senpai appreciates me.
* Much worser
Yeah, uh, no..
I've been extremely hard on my art lately. My friend gave me a pretty harsh critique. She couldn't find a single thing she liked about my art(even tho she claims i'm a good artist) and so the negatives list is so long i struggle to find something to be proud of. It absolutely sucks
Think about people that like you art. I like the way you drew out your profile picture!
Right... Don't focus so hard on one person, even if they're your friend. I've had friends I rarely show a drawing to. They just have interests that aren't art related, or that are directed at styles that are nothing like mine. Also: sometimes I can tell someone is really skilled at something even if I don't like their art or even their personality!
Well, while I was searching for "Introverted artists" I came across this video. Not what I was looking for but, there's been some valid points that caught my attention. Either than that, if you're looking getting into a professional career as an artist, you need to have a personality that other people are willing to work with. I'm having trouble socializing and just a lot of anxiety issues. Of course, I'm working on this but if any of you have this same situation and there's a certain book you read or videos you watch, feel free to recommend it to me.
Have a lovely day guys!
FIRST...This is going to be a long comment...ops😅
Who was your inspiration. I've been trying to study your art it wood help. Also what watercolors do you use? They look fun!
I wood love if you answered them both.
idk if someone already sed this before but I LOVE your voice!!! :D😍
It's so relaxing!
Can you maybe make a video on
Why you draw ants? I what to know is it because they are so small and cute?!🐜
Ps: YOUR MY FAVORITE TH-camR😂
Plz reply
I know I'm not Kasey, but, she uses QOR Watercolours. :)
I don't really have any one particular inspiration, I just soak up a lot of content from amazing artists on social media!
QOR. Please check the description for any supplies questions. ;)
Prompt 20 is where the ant obsession started, no other reason than I fell in love with them!
Thank you! :)
"Wood"? Like as in a pun or I just don't know the right word?
6:39 iT JUST TAKES A LITTLE PATIENCE
TAKES A LITTLE TIME
A LITTLE PERSEVERANCE
AND A LITTLE UPHILL CLIMB
God, I compare myself to past me, and I'm jealous on how I drew people back then (even though it wasn't that good to start with), and the people I draw now is garbage :, )
**pat pat**
Taiinted Please don't use the Lord's name in vain.
Zoie Cleghorn Some people don't share your same religious beliefs. You don't get to dictate what others are allowed to say. If you think I'm going to go to Hell, Jesus fucking Christ. So be it.
Zoie Cleghorn That doesn't mean that I think you shouldn't believe in God. You can believe in whatever you want, it doesn't bother me. But it's the internet, I'm gonna say whatever I want.
Don't be hypocritical, though. If you're allowed to say whatever you want, they're entitled to do the same. I can see how it can be disrespectful to Zoie if people say God's name in vain, and I don't think putting them down is making the situation better.
My art is finally getting to a place where I really like it, and this video sums up a lot of my feelings.
I freaking love your style keep up the good work kasey
Honestly it's channels like yours that helps me build confidence. When I was younger I couldn't even show my family my art and now I am trying things I never had before (like backgrounds). This last year has been one of my most improved years because I have been watching creators like you! I now post art every week on social media and it's something I never thought I would get to. Thank you!
+Annamatopoeiaa That's great to hear! I think putting your work out there is a good way to boost confidence as well... shoot, that would have been good to include, haha.
Might be like- 4 years late but- thank you for making this video. I needed to hear it lol.
Oh my goodness! I found you just a little while ago (like 2 hours ago) and just have LOVED your art, and personality!! You are so inspiring and just amazing, and hope to someday even collab with you when i start my YT channel. Thanks for being the coolest bean! -Gracie :3
+AwkwardTurtle Aw, thank you, Gracie!
It is no problem at all! and i mean it! Also, i think a great challenge (if you havent done it before) would be the three random color challenge. If you dont kbow what it is, go to LavenderTowne's channel and find it! You guys are super cool!!
+AwkwardTurtle I'll put it on my to-do list! 😉
Okay, cool! Feel free to do it, and if not, thats still okay, too! Thanks for being super cool!
I can draw awesome dragons and stuff but my friend draws really good people but mine suck then I realize.....she can’t draw a dragon to save her life
Me with drawing mechs as in I suck at drawing them
I love your art style one time I tried it and I failed and I kept trying and trying I couldn’t do it! So finally I came up with my own art style which I LIVE FOR!
Hey Kasey, sorry I have been missing your livestreams. I feel like you always know what to say on these topics. You are so professional in a personal way..... I know those are opposites but they seem to be "one" in you. You keep getting better, I notice it in your progression through out your videos. Good job Kasey, I hope to get better at drawing. Practice is hard to find time when I'm so busy with school work. Especially when all I want to do when I finish school work is sleep, not draw. I need to try. Thanks for motivating me Kasey. Oops sorry this is so long.... I hope you still read it. Thanks.
+NerdyGirl CC Thank you!
I feel ya. When I worked 40-60 hours a week I almost never drew. It's hard finding motivation... I'll try to talk about that soon!
Kasey Golden great 👍 that would make a great topic for a video!
You've helped me feel less awkward at drawing the human body in it's full, and really appreciating it and its curves and shapes, ty for that. it's helped my style develope a lot. I'm pretty much drawing topless mermaids for the entirety of mermay to help with making my poses less stiff and rigid, also just anatomy.
I have stumbled upon a legend...
When you have 1mil subs I can say:
I was here since 23k
Well you can say it now
Haha
Hey Kasey, I just found you! ^^ Looks like some great stuff on your channel. I'm looking forward to seeing more. Aaaand I'm probably gonna marathon watch you while I work on some stuff this evening. Nice to meet you!
+Katie Crooked Nice to meet you, too!
I started drawing when i was 3... People compliment me but i can tell they lie.. They roll their eyes and compare me to artists.. But I am only 9 and i am proud of my art style! Everyone who is lacking confidence, keep going! Everyone is amazing and talented at their own style :))) I know everyone will become a good artist sooner or later!
Thank you So much :)
I really Appreciate it :))))
Hey me too!
I know this is unrelated but I’m honestly surprised by your grammar and spelling! All 9 year olds I know/knew have terrible grammar.

This is why you never judge a book by its cover UwU
*_stereotypes_*
GlaceonGirl Uh not necessarily stereotypes, I was basing off my personal experiences.
"Look back a year ago... five years... etc"
Oof I've destroyed any and all evidence that I've ever picked up a pencil with artistic intent in the past several years
same
I love the way you waste your pages in your books just to help out other people. The quote is true.....your heros don't need to wear capes...mine is a beautiful, nice, artist who cares about her subscribers and people in need of help. Thank you, Kasey! We love you!
One really useful tip for people who are having trouble drawing well is looking up reference pictures similar to what you want your art to look like. Not tracing or copying exactly, but looking at specific parts of the drawing and how others have done it, and passing some of the usefull information you've learned onto your drawings.
"Is that having confidence or being cocky?" Determination!
Your art makes me happy because of the simplistic style :')
This is amazing and very uplifting for someone still learning the art craft. I've only recently found your videos and they are inspiring! I hope you get many more subscribers and I can't wait for the next video to come out!
IM 11 and now confident and understand i have so much more growth thanks to you i am proud of myself and my art tysm!!
It’s such a good feeling to look back at your old crappy art and see how much you improved overtime.
When you’re first starting out, I myself thought I was gonna be a perfect artist and get everything right and it was so much more difficult then I thought. It really does take years to master your art and for me it took about 7 years to get to a place where I’m happy. Yet I still have so much to improve on. But when I look back at my old art I feel good because I remember when I was younger I wanted to be at the place of where I am now and I made that happen. (I hope that last sentence made sense)
So it really helps to look back at your old art because for me it gave me confidence to keep drawing and hopefully it does the same for others.
I just want to say a big, a giant thank you, this helped me a lot
Wow, how have I not found your TH-cam channel before? Or even better, why am I not subscribed to you? You're friends with Rin, your videos are soooooooooo creative, and, you give amazing tips! Round of applause for Kasey!!!!! (PS, you earned a new subscriber 🤗)
I think your art style is simple, clean, cartoonish and its cute! I always watch your videos and you always motivate me. Your artstyle is you, dont change for anyone but for yourself. Keep going!!!!!!!!!!
Man your art just keeps getting better and better (by the way I love these kinds of videos) thank you for reading my comment:D
Aaaaand now I just remembered something my old 2nd-grade teacher used to say, "Patience is a virtue. Virtue is a grace. Put 'em both together: get a very happy face!" Or something like that, I don't know, that was a long time ago, but it's definitely stuck with me for a while even though is till don't completely get it cause I keep forgetting the definition of virtue (Virtue: a behavior showing high moral standards)
in order to get inspired and more confident i go back to my art that i liked at the time and hate now and then redraw it. sometimes i just cringe and laugh at it and see how much i improved and remember that i’m only 13 and i have a whole new rode of improvement that i’m going down. it helps me and makes me want to push down that rode!
Your commentary on this topic honestly helped me a decent bit. Confidence is hard to build at times and this sort of thing is honestly really encouraging, especially learning that many others worked through the low points, too, and made it through. I think these tips are really helpful, especially to people who want to share their gifts with people but have trouble finding ways to get the confidence to do so.
Side note: I honestly LOVE your style. Simpler styles are their own challenge altogether and yours is fantastic and easily recognizable!
I’ve been doing art for lots of years, and I’m just now starting to see improvement. FUN
Thank you so much for this! Life's been rough to me and I needed this ♥
+Sweet Pigment Oh no, I hope you are able to push through with success! Glad I could help even a little!
This gives me hope, most of the time, I sit there and praise my work, but then someone says it's bad. Then it makes me upset and I stop, but this video gives me hope that I can do better, Thank's Kasey your like. A God :))
...Some people are more sensitive than others to feeling accepted by others... I think you and I are different, but I can say to you that if your belief in what you do is well because you've made good decisions, it's so much easier to fend off the opinion of others.
Your art stile is so adorable I love it.
Number 1 hit home. I often wonder if I'm taking the easy way out by not shading but this made me realize I am great, thank you for the inspiration.
Any time that I find myself in an artistic rut, I watch this again to help give me a bit of a boost. Lacking confidence can be so overwhelming and draining. My favorite advice from this is to compare my art to my past work. It's a simple and straight forward advice but I tend to forget how much I've improved through the years. So thank you, Kasey.
When I was younger, I was basically the artsy kid in the class, always drawing... For some reason I stopped. And I really REALLY wish I hadn't..... T_T
Kim van der Linden Well, it's never too late to get back you know
I stopped for a whole year! Luckily, I returned to it as if I never left. Wish you well.
I discovered your channel yesterday and gosh I love your style. It's cute, beautiful, unique, and those noses ! I love them.
+Elsefine Thaaaaanks! :'D
Same
thank you for this it really helped me even with my depression and anxiety i will work though all of confidence issues and keep going
This helped alot. I've been struggling to find an art style i like,but i either end up not likeing it or just wel, hating it. I kinda found a concept to hang on to when drawing characters, but sometimes I feel like I just cant do it. But like I said, this video helped alot and I hope I improve like you did or at least gain more confidence. Thank you.
I found your channel yesterday and have fallen in love with your videos ❤️❤️
Your art has gotten so much better in 2 months
These tips can and will help me in the future. I just finished the picture for the cover of my binder yesterday, and when I look back on the past two years of my binder covers, I see that my style has really grown and gotten better. So thank you (and p.s that third sketch of you drawing with your feet is awesome and hilarious at the same time)
+•Midnight Sky• I'm glad I can help! Sometimes I look back at my old drawings and it's really inspiring to see how far I've come without noticing. It's a nice boost!
Thank you! :D
+Kasey Golden Agreed!
I am one of younger viewers too! I am ten (and don’t go spamming me with that I am too young because my parents said I could do this) and I have a drawing channel too! I even made a rabbit drawing inspired by your ant drawings :P I love your ant drawings and what not so much! You are amazing and because of you, I was confident enough to finally do a voice over in one of my videos
Ur 13 now... Wow.
i have a friend named "Kooleen Cheska Fernandez" and she's a really great artist that i have completely felt jealousy on her
at first i wasn't jealous at her because all i do is make comics but when i started in digital,i started to get jealous at her,i keep comparing my drawings to hers and worst,she keeps having more success than me!
i keep asking to myself "why i wasn't her?,why she is more successful than me? why everyone prefers her,not me?"
i've been making comics for 6 years,and i am 16,i am doing this for the sake of my future since i'm not good at learning and focusing so i'm focusing on my comics instead,but being surrounded by artists who are better than me,it's making me want to give up,especially my friend Kooleen is getting better and better that i can't keep up and surpass her anymore
i use to think that i am the greatest comic writer of all of classrooms but not in the world
one thing i learned in life is that when you judge yourself, you judge others. this can be applied to pretty much anything in life. if you hate yourself you see all the negative in people.
in a similar way this applies alot to art too. if you want your art to look like others art, you judge their art. even if it is in a good way, considering what time and effort goes into it might help you on your journey. also, YOUR art is YOUR art. every single line you make, every tiny bit of paint spilled is part of what YOU made. no one will be able to do your exact mistakes and follow up with YOUR thoughts. whatever you do, dont be ashamed even if you hate it. when i create art i dont like, maybe i just didnt have the energy to create something great that day. just think about your art journey as a living thing - something that changes, something that has good times and bad times, your art is a reflection of yourself.
Well this surprisingly helped a lot. Thanks, random stranger!
I LOVE your Art Style! You are my FAVORITE Artist!!
Thanks Kacey! This really motivated me, and boosted my self esteem, when it comes to drawing!
I tried to draw you style Kasey and I did ok but I promise once I get better at it I will give it my own changes to make it my own you have really inspired me to draw cartoonish and my art has improved so much because of you!!!!
I love how you penciled in artist but ended up inking senpai!!
I used to hate my art. No matter what I did, it sucked.
But then, a few weeks ago, I started painting every single day, and now I'm alreasy so much more confident and have improved a LOT in just a couple of weeks!
My good list consists of cats. My bad list is everything but cats. .-.
My good list...consists of nothing. My bad list, consists of everything. RIP
Same but with ponies
those colours look beast!!! soooo good!!!
I compare myself to others and that puts me down to where I don't even want to draw and I continuously think that it isn't good. When I found out my grades for art , they weren't amazing and when my parents asked why I thought maybe my teacher put my grades so low because others art is much better. I need motivation and confidence in art which I both lack alot. I also don't want people to think that I try to draw but can't.
here's a tip from a young and aspiring artist ; don't focus on time. i started taking art seriously in november 2016, when i purchased my own drawing tablet with my own money. i was intimidated by all my digital art friends who were better. so you know what i did? *i drew so much i lost track of time!* i designed my style into something i wanted to see. then i slowly started to adapt how teakip and p666t drew their characters' feet into my style. then how scotch draws hands. and i'm not the best, but i'm better than i was in 2016. gosh, i didn't even know that i improved until my friend pointed it out to me last month! heck, i'm still firing and accommodating different thinks in my style today!! digitally and traditionally!!
okay i just want to say something.
if your not confident in drawing, and you end up drawing a part you dont like, or drawing something like as an example, a head or a face, that doesn't look like what you had in mind, just use it. because if you restart the whole drawing, then it probably means that your kinda not comfortable with drawing things your not used to drawing. you can redo the drawing if you want, but if you continue drawing things, you normally wouldn't draw, or doesn't exactly look good in your head, then you might get confident in your art.
ive kinda started just going with it (what i mean is, by how i draw.) i started getting confident in drawing things, i normally wouldn't draw.
so just try to use what you didn't like what you were drawing, instead of starting over. and you might be surprised at what you came up with.
and yes i know most of this doesn't make any sence.
I love your uniquely brilliant style!!! You are amazinggggggg
This really helped me thank you so much!!
great advice- incredibly helpful- thanks Kasey!
Just what I was looking for! Thank you so so much!
Funny...talking about confidence while being unconfident. Lolol
This is maybe the best vid I have seen on the topic it's so raw between the lines, and you nailed it!
Beautiful piece. I'm pretty ok in my genre, but I gained from your perspective.
Great vid. TY for sharing raw.
Thank you so much, this actually helped me a lot since my confidence is basically nonexistent, and this made me start to look at everything different in a positive way!
I came across your channel about a week ago and have binged a lot of your videos. I really love your art and think your style is unique and beautiful.
Thanks for the awesome video, I really needed this since I'm going through a hard time.
Totally great advice! I am loving your channel!
Thank you, thank you!
You and your art style are the biggest inspiration for me to draw. Sometimes i thought "I can't draw this so well, like her". But now I know that everybody can draw, even children :D
These Tips were really helpful to me,Thanks!
I help my confidence because my classmates say I'm the best artist in the class and there amazed by my art and when i look at there face once they see my art it makes me feel better :D
i just found your channel and i absolutely love it 💛
i really love your style..
and i have no more words
Your style is soo unique...I love it you are an amazing artist I just subscribed
Hey Kasey! Your video is inspiring to many who want to draw and helping them to believe in themselves that they can draw.
I've been drawing on and off most of my life, i have big issues with my 'can do' attitude and having confidence in drawing. I wanted to become a good artist all of my life and tried so hard to draw, but i kept messing up on proportions like hands, fingers, feet, body, faces, etc.
I tried looking at references and tried to improve...but i kept on hitting brick walls and i kept on getting frustrated and gave up. I know you need a lot of patience to draw but my patience limits are not great and i want to become a good artist and some day become a good animator and make my own cartoons.
But those dreams are so far away and i fear i will never get there.... i have depression and it's hard for me to get out of it and have confidence with thing overall in life... i guess i'll never be good... I dunno what else i can say? It feels like I’m bothering you with this comment. But anywho...i'll let you reply if you wish....if it is deemed worth it...
I found your channel late last night and I love your art
Thank you!
thank you! this helped me
i finally started to get confident in my art but that kind of stopped earlier when my friend insulted one of my drawings... i felt really bad about it but i’m not gonna let that stop me from drawing because i like what i do! don’t let other people tear you down
I’m ten and I have an art style, sometimes it’s very detailed and sometimes cartoonish, I love it and I love yours as well but I don’t really have confidence but you handed it to me and so did strangers, thank you kasey, plus I’m indo Canadian. Underline the Canadian.
Thank you for making this!
Wow, this is a big help, your tips I mean! There were some points I never looked at. BIG FAT Thank you ^^
I love ❤️ your style!!
Thanks Casey!
honestly helped alot :))))
ahahaha i loved the vid and the drawings as alwayssssss
I love your channel and art style!
Great advice and great art. Thank you
I've only started to get into art this year when I was 9, every single day I drew about 5 pages of drawings! and the result was huge! your videos motivated me so much, thank you!! ☺️
Great tips and great video!!! 💕
Really the best thing is to practice and work for enjoyment until you gain enough confidence on your own to feel competent and comfortable with your art. Like she said it takes time to improve which might seem daunting but you neee to realize if you get really dedicated, work regularly and just stick with it the time will fly by and you'll improve faster. Even the little achievements that keep you going will all add up and that time of becoming more confident will happen sooner than you think and encourage a positive cycle with an improvement mindset. For the people that are feeling doubtful about being good enough besides what i just wrote I want you to know that when you practice regularly you'll be alot better in a certain time like in 2 months or a year than you would've thought then you believed you could've been like rn. For example when I started learning to play instruments/make music and did it regularly i was alot better and confident in a year then me starting would have expected me to be. While I was enjoying it and keeping an improvement mindset the year in some regards flew by, didn't seem so long, and by the end of it i was confident enough in myself and that snowballs over the years. This also applies to other skils like making music in general, writing, etc. Now I can't wait to immersive myself and learn about drawing and visual art to. Lastly it's good to always be learning
oh wow your style is incredible. i don't remember subscribing but glad i did
Thanks! The list idea actually really helped me, of course I’m still not completely confident,and that will take time but this helped me a lot!
I just found your channel, and I just wanted to say that I love it and your art! You have such a lovely style! :)
+L S Thank you!
