Resolutions
1. 5 second rule. If you think of a good idea, do it within 5 seconds. *I learned that there's a book called "5 Second Rule" by Mel Robbins. I haven't read this myself but I was told that the origins of the 5 second rule is from this book so check it out! I will too when I get some time.
2. Notice how many times you have negative thoughts
3. First 90 min of the day is for your ultimate goal for the year.
4. Commit to doing something healthy. or... commit to getting prepared to do something healthy
5. Commit to learning something new.
6. Count my blessings before bed
These are some good resolution tips! I think the main thing holding people back with resolutions is their end goal. They shoot too high and get demotivated. You gotta set a lot of small goals to keep you going with each small success. I really liked your 90-minute goal! It's something I need to do myself.
As far as my goals go... I only have one. Make a book!
I'd look forward to getting your book. Hope much success for you Kasey
Looking forward to this video.
1. I'm planning to do a comic for 20 days.
2. Working out and getting in shape.
3. Becoming more social and less negative
right on Ryan. Great goals.
This might be a really long comment, but I wanted to create small goals in every aspect of my life I want to improve, so I divided my resolutions into four categories: •Self-improvement ; •Self-care ; •My projects/artistic goals ; •Social media.
•Self-improvement:
1. Draw more outside (as in observational drawings or any other kind).
2. Stop the envy (to remind myself that I'm on my own personal journey).
3. Dance more (something I really enjoy but don't do much).
4. STOP PROCRASTINATION.
5. Say what I feel.
•Self-care:
The usual, drink more water, do excersise, and feel more confident within my body. But also:
1. Grow my nails.
2. Learn 10 songs on guitar .
3. Read 6 books throughout the year (go back to reading habits I've left).
4. Asleep by 10pm, and up by 6/7am.
5. Keep a journal on my personal and artistic progress.
•My projects/artistic goals:
1. Do character design sheets for my illustrated novel.
2. Do a short comic.
3. Do a short animation.
4. Do challenges past the half (#Franuary #Mermay #Inktober #NaNoWriMo).
5. Finish writing my novel.
6. Learn basic french.
•Social media
(all art related):
1. Upload 100 posts to instagram.
2. Try out youtube.
3. Make a facebook page.
Imo facebook isnt good for doing page on it cause people sometimes may not see what u've just posted
you can do it gurl
I heard that turning things into a game is a great motivator, so for all my goals I have daily, weekly, and monthly rewards that I can get for accomplishing them. Working on my schoolism assignments for at least 90 minutes every day gets me a small cup of ice cream each day, and a movie night each week. Still working out the end of course goal, but it's definitely something that'll be worthwhile for me.
my goal, is understanding the fundamental, make some good portfolio, and get a job
I think I'm going to replicate my goals for this year. Watch 300 movies, (failed this one, watched a little over 200) read 150 books, keep up with morning yoga and meditation. 2019 'll try to churn in at least 50 oil paintings. If I can't I'll cheat with some gouache.
My resolutions are commit seriously to doing yoga, progress on my journey to self acceptance / self love and be less judgemental 😊 I'll also practice guitar for 30 minutes a day 😊✨
I wish all the best to all of you with your resolutions ! I'm sure you'll nail it 💪 Take care of yourselves 💙🙏✨
Nice! 30 minutes a day will get you good in no time! I was doing only 15 minutes a day and it was helping a lot! I need to get back on it though haha
@@n3bie Hope so 😄 I hope you'll get back to it soon 😄 For how long have you been playing ? 😊
@@Melian_796 I've been playing casually for years, but I've only really starting practicing with focus for the last couple. You'll be surprised how much you can learn in 15-30 minutes a day of directed, focused practice- I know I was! My advice is to decide what you're going to practice for the week ahead of time, and have everything you need ready to go so you can practice the entire time. For example, say you want to master the major scale in C. Print it out, draw it out, whatever you need to do ahead of time so you can jump right in! Don't forget to leave some time to improvise trying to incorporate the things you're learning! Use a metronome or jam tracks on TH-cam as you improvise! I keep a checklist so I can check off these activities as I go through the day. It feels really great ticking those boxes! Good luck!
@@n3bie I've been playing for 7 years now but without really learning the basics, so your advices will help a lot 😊 (and the planning one the most, probably) I'll try this and track my progress, and if I remember, I'll come back and tell you 😊 Thank you a lot for your help 😊🙏✨
@@Melian_796 No problem my dude! I hope it helps! Meanwhile I'll try to take my own advice!
I love the hack of "Ok just do step one, you dont have to do the rest". So one of my goals is to open my sketchbook every day. If I just make a wobbly line, thats ok too! Im also going to rest more. Take some time to actually lie down on the bed.
This is golden advice. My ultimate goal is to teach myself animation, I have a lot of lofty goals so I'm taking it one step at a time
I love resolutions! Most people don't really realize that you have 12 months of trying again and again until you find the tricks and hacks that works for you as an individual to reach those goals you want! Beginner in January and fluent by December! How amazing is that? :)
I'm going to attempt bullet journaling for 2019 to see if that helps me with motivation to have the satisfaction of ticking off successes of the day. Whether it's making the bed or flossing or something bigger - those markers will grow over time and that will be so rewarding! It will also give me reason to doodle more because I want to draw every day and I'm using a sketchbook to turn into the bullet journal which means I will have pen and paper in my hand every day anyway! Might just as well doodle. :)
I have plans to create a blog hopefully within 2 years, 2019 will be my trial run of running a hidden one, get the habit going, find out what I like and dislike and get rid of the beginner mistakes before I start for real. I also have character or creature design on the agenda for 2019. On top of that I want to do more photography 2019 than I did 2018 and more animal training. I hope to take more titles with my dog, refine my horses behaviors and teach my calf some tricks and manners before her teenager craze takes over her brain. :p
Lastly I will clean in my house at least 30 seconds every day. I want to build a cleaning habit so 30 seconds is plenty as a start. :) Oh and cut down sugar and perfect my water intake habit.
That's my planned priorities. I'm already happy with my morning, and I already learn something new every day, I have already a habit of practicing gratitude, I no longer hold on to things that are harmful and focus on the helpful. It feels like reachable goals without feeling stress about it. :)
Wow...the arms gratitude part made me cry...great video.
My two main goals for this year are
1. Make more videos than I did in 2018 (anything over 32!) I'm aiming for 3 a month but there's a bit of wiggle room in case something comes up :)
2. Be kinder to myself. Last year I started writing down good things that happened, goals that I met or just things that made me happy on post it notes to put in an empty jar. Reading them back to myself and seeing how many there were in the jar when I felt like nothing had gone well was a great way to lift myself up and it's something I want to keep doing. I'd never have remembered them all by the end of the year either so it's a good way to track what's happened/what I've achieved :)
Love this video! I'm going to work on saying no to projects I don't want to do, and also personal/social things I don't want to do! And I'm also going to try to be done with work by 9pm so I can shower, relax, read, play with my cat, etc. 😊
My resolutions are:
1. To get a job as a storyboard artist or Visual Development.
2. To study fundamentals in depth for 6 months.
3. To start a comic in Line Webtoon.
4. To work out constantly and eat a healthier diet.
5. Work on my positivity, and learn to forgive.
Love those resolutions! One of mine is to document my process and journey of my brand and intellectual properties.
I was one of the folks who did a couple pushups when you mentioned them. The five second rule is a great idea, and I like the idea of a countdown. Hearing about how blessed you feel to have arms and how you framed the pain as part of a story even made me tear up a bit 😶 my resolutions are to 1. Read through the whole bible in 2019, with hopefully quality as well as quantity time. 2. Attend all my classes and do homework as assignments come up 3. Work on learning drawing and watercolor diligently, enjoying the process and applying what I've learned from all the amazing artists I've met or watched on TH-cam 4. Commit to jogging/running three times a week 5. Count my blessings and pray for needs not just of myself but of others 6. Seek to bring joy or at least peace into my encounters with human beings and other wonderful creatures. God bless all and may your dreams come true ❤
I totally agree with the blessings one. I am a very pessimistic and anxious person, and I get easily upset when something doesn’t go my way. Realizing that I’ve taken soooo many good things in my life for granted really helped me change my attitude and my overall mood a lot. There are times when my brain would still have rebuttals like “so what if someone else is having a tougher time, it doesn’t have to be me” and I have to try harder to tell that part of my brain to shutup.
This year I began to exercise, meditate, breath wim hof, change my beliefs for positive things, be grateful, but what changed my life most was going to the schoolism workshop in Mexico, I met my Idol Karla Ortiz and you, I keep working in the assignments that Karla gave me and now I am in a temporary job to save money and go to Lightbox and buy my year in schoolism. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
and cold shower some times :)
Wow so awesome to hear, congratulations Karen! :) -Nancy on behalf of Bobby
I'm definitely gonna use the five seconds rule. I need to stop over thinking in order for me to actually do the things i want to do.
Started the Wim Hof Method because you talked about it in one of your video, I did it one week by curiosity, then one month and now it's been 1 year and it has been a great help in my life, so thank you Bobby !
I’m pretty sure all of those resolutions you just shared have now been added to my list.. 😂
My biggest resolution is that whenever I notice I'm getting frustrated, angry, sad or depressed I'm using it as an opportunity to make myself laugh. It makes our minds more at ease and it looses tension so that we can make better decisions and be much more creative. Taking life not too seriously and letting your inner child speak again! It never left, it was just hiding from all the seriousness
; ).
Laughter is the best form of medicine :) -Nancy
@@BobbyChiu Exactly! ; )
I'm 27, I did an illustration degree nearly a decade ago and fell into an office job that resulted in me dropping art for over 5 years. I'm trying to rekindle my passion, joining schoolism today.
I've been trying to think about my goals/resolutions for next year, which I have struggled with a lot but I have managed to come up with a few. Also Katy Arrington, a life coach/artist, suggested using a word to live by for the year rather than come up with a new years resolution as such. It really resonated with me, so the word that I want to live by for the year is love.
All of my goals sort of resolve around the word love in my mind
-To love the process of creating art again
-To create for myself
-Only accept commissions if you're genuinely excited by the art you will create from doing so
-Do what you want to do
-Don't worry so much about getting your art out there
Lately i've been really struggling art wise and I feel like this things will help bring that back.
Wow, you also a Wim Hof fan? Cheers man, I didn't think you could get any cooler as you were, but here we are. This stuff really changed my life, helped me stop getting sick all the time, deal with depression, even with a sudden death of my relatively young father. Cold/contrast showers are a miracle, especially if you can go to a sauna/banya before the shower itself.
My resolution is to finish everything I promised to do for other people, but never had the strength to finish properly.
Just want to say your a inspirational dude. Your videos are uplifting and so are your amazing tweets. They've been helping me on my feet and keeping this fire inside me to create. From my profound love to your creations and words, Thank you.
thank you so much. It's very kind of you and very encouraging for me to read.
My biggest resolution for the next year is to go and commit myself to art and taking it seriously. Up until now Its always been something I've been doing on the side and trying my hardest, but with no real artistic goal. But that's changing now with my goal to hope and find out what my ultimate art goal is. That being said, I can't achieve any goal that without practicing my skills so I'm gonna be aiming for smaller, more specific goals in order to pave that pathway into finding what I want to do. One of those smaller goals is to improve my art is to practice learning or seeing without thinking about it. I want to build a habit out of it so it becomes second nature and incorporate it into how I think when I go about my day, that way I'm always practicing the most important part of drawing no matter where I am or what I have on me.
Thank you for sharing your 2019 resolutions - you got this! 🙏 Best of luck :) -Nancy
Thank you so much for this, man. I just started watching your videos yesterday, but I've seen like 30 so far, you are a peaceful person, and that's really something in this business. Keep it up
Thank you so much, this is greatly appreciated and I'm so glad to know that Bobby's videos have helped you in some way! ~ Ashley
you are amazing Bobby,you be doing this for over a decade now, and there never was any bad advice you gave to the art community...and thats hands down, any advice i took 4 myself always gave my life a positive effect. always.......you be sharing true value.....all the best for 2019 :-)
Thank you so much!! 🙏
Great tips as always Bobby! I love your streams and videos with the adorable little plant people :D My top 3 New Years Resolutions are to 1. Travel, take pictures and explore new cultures 2. Wake up at 7:30 every weekday to exercise and meditate for creative inspiration 3. Think of what I'm grateful for throughout the day!
Hey Jaden! Great resolutions, thank you for sharing :) - Nancy on behalf of Bobby
Thank you so much for all the amazing tools you give me!
Thanks for your kind words and support! :)
~S
Started a weekly goal tracking method--so far, it works! Getting more done than I have with setting an overall end goal. Little milestones are much more motivating for sure. xD
My resolutions for 2019 next to my usual artistic ones are daily meditation (even if it's short) and weekly intermittent fasting. Feeling great makes being productive that much easier!
Right on! 🙏
My resolution for this year is:
1.Draw 8hour each day
2.improve the fundaments
3.develop my own style
4.start making commissions
5.do more exercise
I've already started with this resolutions and I'm not giving up, I want to become a good artist so I have to work hard no matter what.
Great resolutions! Thanks for sharing :) ^nc
I always vibe with your videos! My resolutions in 2019 are to write/illustrate my own stories, build an updated portfolio, and to stop bringing my ego with me wherever I go... Happy New Year Bobby!
My resolutions are trying a lot of art style so that I can find my most good at,fundamental is also need to be improved,and the most important is keep watching your videos,nice job!
My resolution is taking my art career more seriously. I've already enrolled to some classes starting in january, will subscribe to Schoolism and do the assignments (not only watch, which is te big part of that resolution). But the main goal... is planning a trip to the US and attend Lightbox Expo in September, and try to feel like I belong and am not a cheater, that I atually have my place in the art community and that during the year I'd have taken all the steps toward that dream, and not only dreamt them with "I wish/ if only"
Thanks for your comment and sharing your resolution :) -Nancy
My new year resolution
- learn new things and fundamentals
- getting in shape
- 90 minutes for my drawing on holidays as i am 13 years old
- using more opportunity
Hy. What a great video.
I don't have a list yet for my new years resolutions, but I know that next year I want to be more patient with myself. In this age when everything is going fast, I tend to overwhelm myself with all the things I want to do, and in the end end up doing not so much. So patience. Doing one thing at a time and paying attention to it is better than having to much to do and ending up not feeling good and not doing that much.
Thank you for your videos. They are a real inspiration.
And happy holidays :)
That's a great resolution! Thank you for sharing and for watching Bobby's videos, I know he appreciates it :) -Nancy
My main resolution is stopping being stressful. I mean, that's not great stress, just a blurry feeling inside, that makes me do more things and in result not deep enough. So, less things, less running, more calm and quality.
-Learn cinematography and better composition with characters
-become a better karate instructor
-draw a page a day, or at least 3-5 per week
-Strengthen my anatomy skills
-learn to drive and get my license
-be a pro hobby artist lol
Im so unsure of all of these but they have been on my mind lately so im seeing how to make it all happen
Hi Bobby! I actually rewatched this video after 4 months and realized that during this months my resolution becomes clear: I want to finish working on my project for an animation tv series, so every day I try to sketch something, writing down the stories and relationships between the characters, when I have more time doing some concepts. I would like to be able to pitch it next year. In the meanwhile, I'm also studying for improving composition (I'm following the class of the awesome Nathan Fowkes). Some days it is a bit hard fighting against the tiredness - I can only do this in the evening after coming back home from work) but I want to realize these two things so badly that I always find even just a bit of time for going on. For example this morning I start writing for my story in a very VERY packed tram while I was heading to work. And thanks to that now I finished a part of the planning and I can start with the next step! And it was like you said, I was thinking "I could writing something.... but I am sleepy... and there are so many people... But no, I'll do it anyway!" And then I felt like I should do this every day :D
Please Bobby make a video like this for 2020 too. I really loved this one and it was very motivating. I actually acted on my resolutions and now things have improved greatly for me. I even found a part-time job as a manga assistant, I couldn't hope for better. Now it can only get better from here. I don't think you'll ever read this comment but-- in case you read it, you really encouraged me and listening to your videos while drawing has helped me not fall back into depression. Thank you!
Thank you so much Hananas for your kind words it means a lot. Keep on working towards your goals!
@@BobbyChiu Thanks a lot to you for answering! Keep up your amazing work too, and Merry Christmas!
Love your T-Shirt dude, cheers from Brazil!
:) thank you
I wanna make my resolution now! Thanks x
Thank you bobby chiu you inspire me to start drawing Again four years I Stopped But after watching your videos you inspired me to pick up the pen for my New Year’s resolution im going to draw every day
My main resolution for the year is trying to find opportunities to do the things I like without stressing myself out, I'm in school right now and I feel like I never have the chance to do my own personal work.
So I figured first off, I need to concetrate and get my work that's due, done quick and efficiently.
Second, I need to find those litte gaps of time that I can work on what I really want without sacrificing break periods.
Love love these resolutions of yours! I'm going to be focussing on my health, including diet and daily routine! And doing at least 30mins of sketching/artwork a day to greatly improve over the year, and get looser and faster in my sketches in doing so. And I think I'll try the negative thought changing thing!! Thanks Bobby :D
Was waiting for this !! Bobby you fucking inspire and motivate me by being so consistent and always trying to help !
Thanks Bobby, inspiring as always. I like how these are focused on personal behavioral goals, rather than specific project goals like Read X books or Lose X pounds. I'm going to take these into consideration!
Thank you Bobby!,
1.Keep studying to become a better artist.
2.Keep learning from you and those great artists you interview.
3.Have Fun creating new characters
4.Get to Know you and draw together! (this would be awesome!)
5.Work for animation studios.
6.Share what I´ve learn and I´m Learning with everyone who wants to draw!
you rock! :D
I never really had any new year resolutions, ever! Your video kinda made me wanna set myself some and I've been thinking about them lately and here's what I got!
- At least one sketchbook page a day. Sometimes I fill up more, sometimes I barely touch it and I really want to make that part of my artistic journey consistent!
-Actually use the tips from your 'How to get more work done'. I did that for some timeand then I got distracted I want to give that another shot and make it real this time!
-Build some more healthy habits. I eat healthy, I excersise a bit but its not enough. I've developed back problems, consulted a physiotherapist and I want to make sure my back never gets bad again!
-Last but not least - slow down! I am at a point where everything not art/health related I treat as procrastination. I need to stop! House needs to be cleaned, shopping needs to be done and I must change my aproach to those responsibilities. Otherwise those will drive me crazy. That's not procrastinating, those are just housechores!
Oh, and I acted on that 5 min rule you were talking about and I bought a ticket for Schoolism workshop :D
Money well spent, not enough time for excuses to start poppin' into my head. May as well add that to my resolution list!
Great resolutions!! -Nancy on behalf of Bobby
@@BobbyChiu No idea who you are and what ya up to, Nancy, but I am glad you think that way and I hope that 2019 will bring many good things to you ^_^
In November I finally recovered my hand after a trauma it took almost 5 month, and started looking into productivity and New Years resolutions. I bought Law of Attraction planer, I red Dave Asprey Headstrong book and started applying all I red, and I started practicing Wim Hof method and many other performance boosting tricks. And it appears that great and might Bobby Chiu was thinking very similar thoughts somewhere at the other side of the world at the same time. Holly smokes.
Sorry to hear about your hand but glad you've moved to the recovery stage! 🙏 -Nancy
@@BobbyChiu Thank you so much! Yeah, recovery all the way. One of my NY goals is to do a proper hand stand till the end of the year!
My resolution is to draw more original things, I do too many photo studies
very good! funnily enough, I noticed I study way too much and not really paint my own things either, trying to break that barrier.
nothing wrong with photo studies but a good balance between your own ideas and studies is a great idea. good luck with that!
I've problems with my arm too (golfer's elbow etc) and I really liked your perspective..the fact that there are people that can't use arms at all..thank you for that..the next time I'll worry or complain about the pain I'll think about that and I'll be grateful no matter what🙏 anyway my 2019 resolutions are improving at drawing and painting, built a portfolio, learning spanish, improving at photography, travelling more and be more brave and open💪 Thank you for all Bobby, in a way you are like a friend..happy holidays to all of you❤
Thank you for sharing your resolutions!! -Nancy on behalf of Bobby
I couldn't help but firstly look at your t-shirt and read the Brazilian name from the biodiversity organization Mata Ciliar. Well played Bobby haha.
It was great to hear you talking about being committed to the New Year resolutions before the end of the year. I'm doing the same! Here's mine (not in order)
1- Have some of my own projects published
2- Study something new (art related)
3- Study something new (non-art related)
4- Working out and staying fit
5- Create my own art channel and do weekly livestreams
6- Be more active with the community by interacting more with other artists
Thanks Rod! I went there years ago and helped raise some money for their organization
Oh, I didn't know this. That's amazing Bobby :)
You've got a lot of good resolutions! I'd love to try the 90 minute goal but I don't think I can wake up at 4.30 each morning. I'll try and add it to the end of my work day instead!
My biggest resolution next year is to continue with Schoolism courses. I bought the year subscription in the summer sale, and I really want to study as many courses as I can as I've learnt so much already. Bring on another year of learning :)
🙏
This was amazing! I'll come back after 1 month to tell you if I could improve my lifestyle!
This actually helped me a lot. I mean, it didn't happen immediately- it took a while but now, I'm in a lot better position than I was 3 months ago.
Awesome video, as usual, Bobby! You already know one of my resolutions: to get up and draw in the morning, rather than procrastinating. Some more goals are to meditate, do yoga, hone in on my spirituality, apply to more gallery shows even if I don’t feel “ready” or “good enough,” work on making an actual portfolio, and make more art than I did this year. I also want to work on having less negative thoughts. 😁
Great resolutions to start the new year! Thanks for sharing :) -Nancy on behalf of Bobby
I'm not a person of resolutions but I'm gonna do 2 important for this year and i'll commit to those: focus on develop my skills (which involves most of your resolutios so yeah, i'm a copycat XD) and the most important, help myself the way I help others. Instead of treating me like crap and constantly blaming, accusing and diminishing myself, I'm gonna talk and support myself like I do when I help others. with kindness and respect
Great resolutions!! Self care is equally as important :) thanks for sharing! -Nancy on behalf of Bobby
I loved the video !
I'm stealing your resolution about being aware of the negative thoughts :)
As for my resolution they are:
1. Focus on my personal growth
2.Work on my personal project everyday
Always love hearing your perspective Bobby. :)
My goals for the new year are:
[1] To work very hard to become fluent in Spanish by studying everyday, using the Pimsleur Method, learning the 5,000 most frequently used words, etc
[2] To fill 4 sketchbooks in a year by drawing whenever I have free time, or filling one every 3 months/season
[3] To transition to being vegan by the end of 2019 I'm about halfway there already because now the only animal products I eat are fish and cheese :)
I hope everyone has an amazing new year and fulfills their goals
Thanks for sharing your resolutions! -Nancy on behalf of Bobby
YAAAASSSSS, VEGAN SQUAD! GOOD LUCK!!!!
90 min idea is great & my resolution would be to learn texturing and get better at it
I'm going to draw something everyday. Doesn't matter if it's just a smiley face, I just want to pick up a drawing instrument and put SOMETHING on paper.
I guess I've already started with the fifth one. I've been practicing pencil sketching and digital painting for a while now but I picked up some watercolour materials the other day. I'm excited to try watercolouring, I even got those pens that you can fill with water. I don't REALLY believe in new years resolutions honestly but I do tend to stick to things once I've started them so I'm going to use the new year as a push off point to start getting back to the gym. I was doing well with exercise for a year or so but circumstances in the last few months meant it got thrown out the window.
Also my other resolution is to get back into learning online. I started an animation course in "real life" a few months back and I noticed my online learning has kind of taken a backseat to that. (which I guess is fair enough but I have a Schoolism subscription that's only been getting brief attention from me for a few months now....)
Also! It's not really a "resolution" but I signed up for a game jam in the new year. I've never done something like that before but it feels like something I'll learn a lot from.
You're such a big inspiration. Your self discipline and hard work is just amazing. One of my new year's resolution is to be more like you haha besides that I want to learn more anatomy and flow in my art. Gosh I'd love to attend the Schoolism live in Berlin, maybe I can save something before the tickets get sold out ;w;
Thank you so much!! 🙏
One of my resolutions is starting a new therapy so there will be one less problem between me and my life as an artist and the resolutions from 2018. :D
My main goal... Is to get my art business off the ground, once and for all. I'm on the autistic spectrum and I have also suffered from depression and anxiety since the age of 12... And currently, at the ripe ol' age of 25, I have been signed off from work since I left college at the age of 18. I have only worked for 5 months last year, only for it to be thrown back in my face, twice. I now have no money and no aspirations. However, my only aspiration/goal which is still strong to this day, is to be self-employed and/or an illustrator. Hell, I have even made the spontaneous decision to apply to go back to college again to study Level 2 art and design (I completed and passed level 1 art and design in 2012, only to be then kicked out afterwards as the tutors told me that I'm "not suitable" for level 2 "because of my learning difficulties"... Broke my heart. But 7 years later, I feel I am ready. Too ready, in fact... If not, then I will hope to study Business and Admin instead, in order to cooperate what I learn to my art business. I would rather keep going by doing what I love than continue on with life being miserable and following everyone's expectations to find and work in "normal" jobs.
Phew, sorry for the long comment! I just feel the need to do so in order to get my point across :) xxx
Hi Jessica, Nancy here for Bobby! Thanks so much for your comment and for sharing your story. Autism doesn't define you, so I'm happy to hear your aspirations and goals are still holding strong! Continue to do what you love and live by your own rules. Wishing you the best of luck. -Nancy
Thanks for this :)
2019 goal is to make my portfolio. I'll also start attending life drawing workshops weekly.
Hi Bobby
You totally changed my life, Hopefully see you In London workshop 2019 and talk with you. Honestly you are my Art & Life influencer.
Everything sounds so inspiring so I'm interested in adapting some of those ideas to fit with me! Especially the idea of dedicating 90 minutes to your big goal. Right now I'm walking through life a bit without any sort of idea but I know I want to improve my art. A few months ago I saw a video named somewhere along the lines of "can 1000 pages improve your drawings?" and the video talked about picking up 2 500 pages packs of printer paper and try to fill those through the year. I don't know if I'll be able to finish those 1000 pages but I'll try my best to at least get 500 done!
Thanks for sharing! (Is the motion animation on the drawings new?) Happy holidays!
what a great video
the resolution that i want to keep in 2019 is counting blessings
we Muslims count our blessings daily before bed and after evrey single ordinary thing
like after waking up for having a new day and chances , after wearing cloths , after eating breakfast or any other meal , when we hang out with friends and after doing our 5 Prayers everyday

Yes, good one! Counting our blessings as there's many things to be grateful for! Thanks for sharing 🙏 -Nancy
For my health method I’m doing Martial Arts
Use 2018 for develop myself, healthy brain sport/yoga and meditation, understand my place in the world and so on.. so now, 2019 Im gonna focus on professional network, relation and community, peace.
New Year's Resolutions:
1. Finish personal projects.
2. Make time for gaming.
3. Post more art on social media.
Thanks for sharing your resolutions! ^nc
My 2019 resolutions :
1. Going to Pop Culture event for first time. Since, I live in small city and no event like that here.
2. Do more art with a good story telling and not just 'cool art'
3. Expanding my network, meet new people and make new friends
Mine are:
1. To participate in anime artist alleys
2. Visit either South Korea or Japan, been to Japan last year so I'm leaning towards south Korea more for this year .
3. Learn German C1 level until the end of the year or until February next year since I'm starting with my German course on 18 February this year, hopefully i can learn it in time . ( it's a intense course so i will have a lot of learning to go through)
4. Produce more art this year
5. Read at least 30 books this year
Great resolutions! Thanks for sharing :) -Nancy on behalf of Bobby
I actually already started some XD
Ive quit playing video games in order to focus more on my artwork and health
I've tried doing them before but it's hard to keep up. So this year I'm doing something different. I'm using my resolution as a starting point rather than an end goal.
1. Get into positive habits, been applying that by meditating for 15 minutes every day and walking 30 minutes everyday. Once I feel like I don't have to convince myself to do it I'll do more.
2. Get to 500 followers on social media for my art page. I'm already at 350 or so, so it's not too much. And then keep going from there.
3. Take an art class, in traditional medium. I don't have a computer yet.
4. Get a computer. Nothing too fancy just somethig to do digital art in.
And 5. Improve on a field, currently that's perception and dimensions to me.
As I do these through the months I'll be increasing them, working on periodic goals rather than long term ones.
Great way of thinking! Best of luck :) - Nancy on behalf of Bobby!
I want to go through more courses,
Particularly related to drawing backgrounds, since that feels like one of my biggest weaknesses.
Animals too, want to draw more of them.
My goal for 2019 is to go to Germany. It is also to become a better artist, learning more techniques, practicing art. I don't have to shove more useless knowledge into my brain, I'm almost done with school, I'll be able to to what I want to do.
Mine
1. To draw every day for atleast 1:30 hours
2. Eat healthy
3. To do meditation
4. To wake up at time
5. To not stick to my phone
Great resolutions! Thanks for sharing :) -Nancy on behalf of Bobby
I really hope you will read it and am happy about any person reading this, because I am honestly writing this down here (spontaniously) to share a potential that anyone can use. I am talking about intermediated fasting. Eating from 12:00-20:00 only. I have been testing a lot of things, when it comes to health. Suplements, sports, veganism, raw vegan and while all of them have their benefits, nothing was close to be as good as intermediated fasting. I always had trouble with my tyrox (or however its called in english) and chronical exhaustion / tiredness. I am 26 now and since the early 20´s I also started gaining weight, never too much, but in general a tendency towards gaining.
That intermedaited fasting resulted into much much much more energy during the day, better sleep quality, losing weight quickly (even though I ate quiet a lot of selfmade pizza) and, surprisingly, pretty clear skin. A lot more good changes happened and I don´t even have words to describe, how super good I feel. I basicly feel like a kid again, where I played soccer all day every day without any sign of exhaustion. I also read about it, but that part everyone can do by himself.
So again, whoever you are: I am telling you all this, because I want everyone to have the chance to increase life quality as much as I could and all you have to do, is taking in calories only between 12:00 and 20:00 o clock (including calory containing drinks).
Have a nice day everyone :) and please excuse my English, I am German and still have to improve :D.
Here are my resolutions!
// Sleep at 10pm and wake up at 5am every day
// Continue practicing master-studies in the morning; being consistent
// Work-out and eat healthy
// Learn Zbrush from Justin Goby Fields!! (so excited ayy)
I haven't settled on any resolutions yet, but mine will probably involve doing more painting and playing less video games. I want to challenge myself to spend a week at a time focusing on a specific subject, drawing hands for example.
Also I want to continue jogging outside every morning, although it's kind of difficult when it's winter here.
Great resolutions! Thanks for sharing :) -Nancy
Sit-ups are vertuly useless so do a plank for about 5 minutes instead it's more effective I've been working out for around 4 years now I make a resolution every year to get stronger and I make one to get better at drawing all I own be this point are things I can work out in I draw every day and I'm fairly fit I'm proud of my progress but I'm going to adopt one of your new years resolutions to do something new to get good at it and maybe become great at it
alright, here's a rough list. I'll probably modify it in the next days.
Getting more disciplined and productive
Telling the truth
Learning Human anatomy
Keep posting every day on instagram
Doing the WimHofMethod and running every day, eating healthy
Learning Lucid Dreaming
Developing my youtube channel
Developing social skills further
How many of you guys cranked out some push-ups because of this video?
I think ill take your #3 use 90 mins for your main goal. I will probably add 90 mins in the morning and 90 mins at night? Maybe not sure if i will get tired out but for sure 90 mins before i start the day.. That one for me will be a challenge... I hate waking up early . . .
My goals so far I have
1. learn to do math fast without my phone . . . .
2. draw everyday
3. keep going to the gym
4. make a short 5 mins video of whatever . ( i always wanted to voice something...)
5. 90 min before starting the day
8. be organized and neat...
7, MAKE 2019 A TURNING POINT IN LIFE
Great goals!! Best of luck in 2019 :) -Nancy on behalf of Bobby
My new year's resolution, is to copy at least 1 professional artwork a month to learn. Until the end of my of national service which is 2 years later.
1:47-1:57 I relate to this.
isn't the 5 seconds rule say that if food is on the ground less than 5 seconds its edible?
1- Start taking medications for my disabling depression, because I put a lot of effort in studying and improving my art in 2018 even if it's hard to live normally with my condition, but I think I would have spent a lot more quality time drawing if I decided to take care of my health issues, so this is something I don't want to compromise with anymore.
2- Compromise a bit on the work side and take more jobs that even if they're not "working for my highest goal" they will still help me get more money to be free to move towards my real objective.
Sorry to hear, hope you are feeling better. With everything that you do, make sure to take care of yourself first! -Nancy on behalf of Bobby
@@BobbyChiu Thank you so much Nancy! I've been following Bobby's channel for about one year and I've spent hours drawing while listening to his tips, it really helped keeping myself calm since my condition makes me all the more afraid to fail. Bobby in one video said that you never know whose life your words could be changing for the better, so if possible, I would really be grateful if somehow he could receive my biggest thanks. He did make a big difference in someone else's life (I'm sure many others feel the same). His words have influenced me to change my attitude towards life and art, and I also briefly followed a course on Schoolism within my possibilities. Merry Christmas to you both, and a Happy new Year full of making art!
Will you come back to Copenhagen again?
Yes. The announcement is only for the Spring workshops. Copenhagen will be in the 2nd half of the year
First of all, thank you for sharing your knowledge, Bobby!
Second, I have a question for you (and I hope you can see it among so many comments ^^): in number 4 you talk about a method, but I can't understand the name of it, could you write it for everyone here?
Blessings to all the schoolism team!
Thanks for the comment. It's called the "Wim Hof Method"
Bobby Chiu ¡Thanks again! =D
Me :
1. exercise after wake up. I donload some app with 7 minutes exercise. Do it constantly and i feel more energy doing others project and till evening i still have some left energy to spend draw a little before doing something else.
2. Make a schedule. Make some kind of schedule what should i draw or learn for myself after off work
3. Observation. This was part i did already a years ago. Always observe things on what I see.
4. Visualize or draw from imagination. This is part that i still have a problem. My imagination or memory for designing is still very poor. Like i like draw fantasy but i can't think what make fantasy looks cool. Hope fully to achieve this on 2019. 😳
Awesome resolutions - thanks for sharing! -Nancy on behalf of Bobby
@@BobbyChiu Thanks, Nancy. Please tell Bobby that he is my huge inspirational artist. I'm at lost back there and hate what i'm doing on art till I found his video motivation. I think it's old video which drew an old man. After hearing it, I almost cry. And since then, i take all the beating to pursuit the art till now. I'm now happy with my life as an artist. I hope someday i can visit Bobby studio and meet him in person. Sorry for my long rant. 🙏.
hahaha lol watching this first thing in 2020
Of maby The City Kolding in Denmark? We already had a visit by Obama this year and we have a design school
