    Does your instinct say to push the boundaries alongside the Avant Guard? Or Stick to What Works?

      I could say I have some sort of instinct to push boundaries through trying to play around art concepts or theories, but unfortunately I had to commit to the stuff that the niche I'm in commonly likes, even though it causes me friction on my motivation to make stuff.

      Yet another great episode. Always had the inner worlds and urge to grow beyond boundaries. You are on point with this Tim. The repeating of the same and same. Far too stale indeed. A good friend told me once... "Why do we even call it the gaming industry, movie industry etc? The copy pasting and on the rail standards and principles are showing and it is sad." I only hope more creative souls out there brave new worlds and go beyond this. Both in terms of how we do things, but also how it is made. I know we are not the only ones and that makes me glad.
      To all creatives out there, keep doing what makes you happy and never forget to energize and recharge.

      It’s a binary calculus. If you want to make quote unquote important work, stuff that lasts, you need to push against the boundaries of what is considered viable or acceptable in any given time. Of course the motivation needs to be intrinsic, and I would argue cannot be anything but, it is only artists that feel COMPELLED to push the limits of their field that actually end up doing so, often to the detriment of their ‘careers’; look at Rembrandt for example, whose late work is surely more appreciated now then it was during his own lifetime, the poor guy ended up broke! Most artists, and I make no judgements here, are happy enough to master their craft and tell stories that will sell, and the entire commercial apparatus these days in fact encourages this. I think Piskor called them ‘jobbers’ which I think is a bit harsh, it’s a tough caper this art business and anybody paying the rent making art is more than worthy of our respect. But yeah, when I collect comics it’s artists like McKean, Mazzucchelli, McCloud, Sienkiewicz, Mignola and too many more to mention here that float my boat, and all in their own ways, and if there’s a common thread in my apparently quite eclectic collection it would be that I like work that strained against and eventually widened the limits of its field, both in commercial and fine art. And.my nine year old daughter LOVES Amulet!

      Da pra pirar mais hoje na minha visão no mercado atual de arte mas tem uma questão de contexto e de exigência mercadológica do seu trabalho, eu pensando em mim como futuro profissional deste mercado eu penso em três lógicas.
      Primeira: quanto você(eu) tá realmente autônomo e único quebrando paradigmas da arte em mercados que isso é mais uma terça feira você tem que se renovar em uma profissão que todos se renovam para diversas demandas, ainda mais com o Boom das IAs e suas artes artificiais eu ser único virou rotina.
      A segunda lógica é eu tentar ser autônomo e diferente, mas dentro das possibilidades mainstream, mangá tem muito disso a grande Shounen Jump, tem muitas possibilidades de ser diferente, mas dentro de modas e dentro de públicos que vão exigir riscos e seguranças, além da questão demográfica o que o publico shounen da jump difere de outras revistas, assim o que o publico Seinen exige de cada revista dessa demografia, isso tudo conta o público e o editorial moldam você e sua critividade.
      A terceira logica bate mais comigo de arte não ser considerada emprego serio pelo leigo, onde quadrinhos e pinturas podem ser considerados hobbies e você citar orçamento para sua "profissão é absurdo", mas tem mercados em que a arte tem uma visão mais profissional, como jornal e revistas, aí você tem que jogar seguro para poder trabalhar nestes mercados, mas tem espaço para ser diferente isso depende da área e das possibilidades, mas também tem a opção do mercado de fora, de cerra formas se moldar para atender a arte lá fora é não pensar seguro, ao mesmo tempo que é, esse é o meu ponto de como me expressar artisticamente e profissionalmente, como alguém que ainda está estudando desenho para fazer mangá.

    So many cool sources/modern masters to check out based on everything you look at in this video - thanks for that Tim!
    edit: oh and ty soo much for making a list of cited artists in the description - saved me some work going back through it (note to self - take notes in future) ;)

    My instincts tell me to go with what works to an extent. To survive. And when art stops being too unpredictable in terms of a source of living, then I will stay true to my true art style.

    Angus McBride. I think there's a lot of Foster influence in his illustrations. Style-wise he's on the opposite end of the spectrum from Frazetta with everything being so grounded, but I've got more than one Ospreys book only because color plates were painted by McBride.

    I wonder if more avant garde artists will gain more traction and support than ever before with the rise of AI and social media. I'd like to think the general audience will have a greater thirst for something fresh, unique and authentic in the future, that perhaps only artists doing indie projects can easily give, now that "generic art" has become increasingly easier to mass produce. Enjoyed this talk!

    • @TheDrawingCodex

      Yeah I think that is definitely something to consider! One of the things that LLMs will do is make it easier to find similarities and connections between each other. The problem with avant garde efforts is that it's hard to find the market for them. But it's possible matching new stuff with your own specific likes and desires will become easy/solved in a decentralized and controllable way (not just so big tech can sell ads). This will open up a lot of new market possibilities. That's the kind of stuff I always like to think about anyway :)

      @@TheDrawingCodex In the vein of technology enabling indie art -- Patreon and similar services create an option for like-minded people to get together and fund an artist whose work might be considered too risky for a major commercial venture. It's one of the options I'm mulling over as a possible income source for my budding art career. We're counting single digit likes on Instagram at the moment, so we have some other things to see to first. But that level of direct interaction with the audience appeals to me more than having to mediate through a publisher's idea of what's marketable. But I think the paths to success on that vector are a lot more nebulous, so that's certainly a trade-off.
      Hey, by the way, just wanted to say this is my first comment on your channel so far but I've been lurking for a couple weeks and I've already learned a ton! As a broke self-taught artist deadset on making this a career I cannot overstate my appreciation of what you're doing. You've also inspired me to consider line and color and comic work and I'm realizing how good a fit it might be for how I like working. So, thank you! And cheers, I hope you have a great day! :D

    Hello Tim, my name is Daniel, and I'm from Brazil. I am currently trying to learn the fundamentals of drawing, and honestly, it has been frustrating and uncomfortable. I feel like the flame that ignited my desire to improve is slowly fading, and it's like I'm losing the will to draw. I really want to learn and simply enjoy the process. I want to be able to connect with people through art. When I came across your work, especially how you approach learning, I truly felt excited, as if someone was reaching out to help me keep trying. I was really impressed by how it's possible to learn at my own pace without external pressure and in a fun way, just by creating, which is amazing.
    With all that said, I would like to ask you something. I'm not fully fluent in English, as I mentioned, I'm Brazilian. Even though I'm studying the language, I still don't understand much. So, I was wondering if it would be possible to offer the Line and Color course with translated subtitles. If not, perhaps make the videos available for download so I could send them to a translation service and watch them. I would be very happy if there were an option to watch the course with subtitles.
    Thank you so much for your attention, and congratulations on the journey you've taken to captivate people with your work.

      Infelizmente no Brasil ainda tem uma mentalidade dificil de quebrar para a arte como profissão.
      Nós desenhistas, streamers de jogo, pintores, quadrinistas, também estamos batendo a nossa laje todos os dias, mas o publico usando de exemplo o quadrinho, se interessa pelo de fora ou pela Turma da Monica do mercado de dentro, se você quer publico infelizmente lá fora as pessoas estão mais abertas a gostar de nós e passa pelo gostar de fora pra as pessoas se importarem aqui dentro, ou nem isso mesmo tu bombando na França os brasileiros podem não te reconhecer e quando você bombou com a maior bolha de quadrinhos mundial, tu não liga para o seuobjetivo país, mesmo sendo um país que consome bastante quadrinho.

      Eu no caso eu nem pergunto.
      Eu vou direto para o Google e descubro pessoas surpreendentes do passado e do atual que fazem isso.
      Mas de sua forma particular.

    Eu não sei se o que eu vou dizer pode estar errado, mas eu acredito que o desenhar no seguro ou quebrar o "padrão", nos artistas apresentados tem que contar muito com o contexto.
    O que é comercial em certa epoca e pais o que é quebrar o padrão comercial e por fim, quando depois da quebra da inovação isso se tornou comercial, ou usando o termo do video, arte segura.
    Pegando o Giraud/Moebius e o Druilet, eles mostraram muito potencial do quadrinho como experimentação, mostraram para os Franceses, para os Norte Americanos e também para os japoneses que ele tem muito amigo mangaká, "mangakás que é o meu espaço seguro e acrescentam bastante a discussão do video", mas voltando o Moebius no mercado Franco-Belga ele e o Druilet se tornaram artistas com um trabalho seguro eles mostraram muito do potencial, muitos outros seguiram a risca e através da Metal Hurlant talvez eles não sejam neste contexto mais o quebrar paradigma, a ruptura deles do mainstream talvez se tornou "mainstream" aliás num mercado como o francês que quadrinhos são a midia mais forte, desenhar quadrinhos no seguro é ser ruptura do padrão.
    O meu ponto é contexto, o que é seguro ou fora da curva hoje e como modas podem tornar o "esquisito" popular, o popular esquisito, como o Jack Kirby que nós apreciamos talvez para o mainstream ele é bem alienígena e ele ficou esquisito numa epoca que a moda de super heróis quadrados tinha saído de mão tinha outra pegada o Kirby que já era maltratado pelo mercado que ele ajudou a consolidar perdeu espaço para outros, algo que na epoca era dessa forma hoje temos um contexto diferente que permitiria ele ser mais apreciado tendo tantas opções de estilos e a logica de cada país é um contexto por si só que molda o que é mainstream o que é alienígena e o que a quebra ou jogar seguro seria nestes contextos.

      E sobre as limitações midiáticas da midia audiovisual.
      Eu acho que animação permite mais possibilidades com orcamento possível, mas também que pela limitação, as soluções criativas para adaptar um Druilet "impossivel para a mídia" teriam que ser maiores talvez não hoje porque Duna é Mainstream logo da pra brincar mais com ficção cientifica sem ter perdas de dinheiro, mas isso que eu falei torna a adaptação impossível uma questão de fazer cortes inteligentes para funcionar, ou trabalhar na animação que um Druilet não é impossível em orçamento, só é trabalhoso e takvez isso converse com os quadrinhos de alguma forma, medidas criativas serem tomadas para poder executar a sua arte e ter retorno pegar o padrão e as dificuldades e o cinema atual o padrão para os Live Action seria obras como Druilet e Moebius, vai ter mais procura de investir nessas obras pra ter franquias, em comparação com a epoca que Westerns eram o produto seguro pra se investir.
