I not only feel targeted, but seen. Just last night I was thinking to myself, "how are other artists just banging a piece out in a matter of hours while it take me days, weeks, even well over a month?" And I was thinking that while I was trying to correct literal *PIXELS* that no one will see when zoomed out...
If I just accept that my arts gonna be ugly and just draw its helps me in a wierd roundabout way when i finish and it turns out not too bad. A really good way to explain it simply was through a tip someone gave me when i asked them what i should be ready for joining Guilty Gear Strive as a new player😅 But they told me to learn to love losing.
Yeah man, in competitive games I've always found the less I try to win, the better I perform. Just gotta relax and get into the flow, can't do that if I'm clenching the whole time.
Wait, that community is friendly? I thought most competitive fighting game communities are mostly... unpleasant? (Aside from maybe the modders and artists)
@@infiniteraide1642 Did you watch Evo last weekend? The crowd always celebrates the loser of a hard won fight almost as much as the winner. It's definitely not like hooligans or something like that. Some streamers are toxic but that's about it.
My problem (for one) isn't that I think I HAVE to be perfect, it's that I WANT to be. It doesn't feel like I have to prove something to others, but proving to myself that my efforts are worth it. 2, I'm afraid that after years and years of drawing, I will not improve ENOUGH. (aka improve in the way I wanted to), and that I will always be behind next to better, more skilled artists that took the same or even less amount of time getting 10 times better than I did. And, the last thing is that I don't feel like starting something and working on it for hours, when I KNOW it will turn out bad. Why wouls I consiously run straight into a ditch? Why would I start something when I know that it's not going to turn out right? And it's always "Do something simpler!" or whatever, but I WANT to do complex things. I don't WANT to spend my time doing something I don't like doing. I want to make art, not do homework.
I'm paralyzed with similar kind of thinking of what you're saying and what is said in the video. One way to ease things is to treat it like a videogame. Nobody is instantly the best on the first playthrough even when they are good at them already. As long we pay attention, every lost life is a learning experience. We have to "lose" a lot, but always think about why and apply it for the next time we "play".
Wow, I never thought my thought process could be put into worlds, but here it is. I’m sorry you’re going through the same pain as me, but I find comfort in your words, in a way. It’s honestly kind of relieving knowing that I’m not the only one struggling with this. Let’s hope we can both get out of this ditch together.🤞
Pues si muchas cosas te saldrá como el culo, pero la obsesión por el resultado perfecto o "bueno' solo te lleva a no avanzar. esta bien dibujos feos, mejoras aunque sea 0.1 haciendolos. acepta que los dibujos "buenos" saldrán como consecuencia de haber practicado y dibujos "feos" eso es que me ha ayudado, espero que te alguna extraña manera te ayude
I loved this and another note about details I learned from cartography and pen drawings, was less is more, meaning the few details you throw onto a large blank surface allows for the viewers imagination to fill in the gaps in a more satisfying way. but ultimately I struggle with perfectionism when drawing anatomy of people and animals, ugh it sucks but i seen your Chibi video this morning and is making it more manageable to understand and draw. from one artist to another much love and your doing awesome
The blurry idea in the head is very relatable 😭😭. I spend TOO MUCH time research for polishing idea in my head. Only to fell into the disappointment because too much expectations is build up during researching. You make me realize that many of my art work didn't start because i did research and making perfect sketch at first try but start from "oh i just want to draw something like....this??" then polish it over and over to make good sketch instead
My perspective on this is a bit different, to me its less about learning and improving and more about accepting time is ultimately finite. Every great artist ever has a certain amount of artworks they made by the time they've died. I try to think less about the ultimate amount of masterpieces and more about the joy or experiences they must've had while working on those projects. And it all comes back to that childhood memory of feeling the joy of making something. Finished not perfect, I no longer desire to create perfect art, I honestly rather want it to remain flawed because my style changing too fast all too sudden was part of feeling stressed, every piece had to live up to another piece I really liked. And that's not good. I still look back at older art that clearly isn't the same quality as what I make now, and sometimes find pieces that I know have more joy in them than work I was making for the sake of making them. Spontaneous art is always the best. And I love my cheeky little flaws! It adds something personal to them. I refuse to look at my work and insult myself. I turn negativity into positivity. Every flaw teaches me something. I'm mortal, I'm not going to live forever, I have no desire to ''make a mark'' or leave some impact. I just want to be happy when I make things, Wether its for myself or others. That's what art means to me. It doesn't have to live up to the old masters, or artists I look up to, because it is mine. It is part of my soul and my identity. I made something and that's good enough for me. The times that I was striving for perfection because others wanted me to live up to a certain standard or draw like popular artists were the most miserable parts of my journey. I was not having fun. I like that my work is different. I like that it isn't perfect. It's mine! But then again, I'm not a career artist, I'm a disabled person and I have the privilege of working for the fun of it, so my perspective might be biased. I hope more people can ultimately look at their older work and stop insulting it though, because there was love and time that went into it.
Your style changing fast is a sign of large improvement; Stopping that only puts a damper to your progress. What you really had to fix was the expectations you start each drawing with. If you want it turn out like your last, think: 'I want it to turn out *something* like my last piece, but if it doesn't, eh whatever.' Convince yourself that you almost don't care how it turns out, but still try patch up the flaws.
Thank you for your words, I needed to hear them. Im just like in this video, my fear of not being perfect make me not to draw for years, becouse ill tell myself "whats the point, there are better artists then me, mine art are not good enough and they never be." I forgot that when I was young I was sketching like crazy, sometimes 10 arts a day! I was full of ideas and loved drawing even if I wasnt good at it. I forgot that how mutch joy it gives me, becouse they wasn't perfect but they was mine. Sailor Moon and Clamp inspired me the most so you can gess how my art looked like. Long legs, triangle body and big eyes XD. And I was so proud of them. It changed by the time, but I still have them somwhere. But now I dont even doodle. You remind me that I need to find that childchood joy and just draw for joy of drawing and stop sabotage myself. Thank you.
I rarely comment but I felt this was the time for me to speak out. I'm now a professional artist freshly out of art school and I've been considered to be one of the best in my section by my other mates because of my very detailed artstyle. Yet, I was feeling like everything I did... Wasn't enough at some point because I felt there just wasn't enough details! It's okay to pass through that kind of period and kinda needing of a perfect trait/position/background/XYZ thing because of the fear of failure, know that you're not alone and you'll eventually get better (to whoever is reading me). I'm now trying to get out of that perfection and I'm beginning to enjoy doing art just like before I was even considered good to begin with. To people reading me and who wanna have a breathe of fresh air, I highly recommend Sumi-e painting, where the goal is to capture the element's dynamic with the fewest lines possible. It's an old Japanese style of painting and it really helps relaxing and getting out of perfection (mentioning that you're supposed to paint directly without sketch and with China ink/brush!). This is really helping me right now as I'm currently working on my first comic and that totally relax the drawing hand and mind... Letting you draw more confidently and naturally.
I found your channel recently, and I have to admit, your tutorials and tips have really helped my art flourish! Your advice is easy to understand, and it's not like other artists where they simply give advice that applies to their artstyle in particular. ^^
Its really motivating and validating to hear someone say something I go through outloud. Like, I very often dont begin a drawing cause I see something that inspires me and before im even able to open csp I go "But it wont look as good as that" and so I stop. Its always felt silly but hearing someone else say they experience that feeling is amazing!! Thanks for the constant amazings vids!!
Even if some of your advice feels a little mundane and obvious after watching one of your videos, it really does help when someone points out something super simple in the right words. And I think you're great a t doing just that, if that makes any sense at all. So thank you.
4:00 I really needed to hear that. I've been struggling with this mindset for the past month. Haven't been able to draw anything beyond sketches because my mind was just preventing me from doing it because I just subconciously thought of all my drawings will be bad beyond it.
I've struggled with perfectionism when it comes to my art for such a long time and you are SO right about how hard it is to get out of that mindset. I've started having WAY more fun with my work once I realized that 'bad' art isn't 'bad' at all because you still learned something! There can always be a take 2 somewhere down the line!!
Once again, you seem to have the exact same struggles as me about this. Thanks to you I've been starting to be able to look at my art with the mindset of one who is learning and that I'll get it eventually, instead of being so hard on myself and thinking I'm stupid and I'll never be able to do it. I even find myself actually enjoying it and looking forward to drawing much more when before the thought used to cause anxiety. It was hard, I love art so much but always being so strict and unforgiving with myself I think was slowly killing my passion
I used to have this problem with perfectionism, so I had to learn to relax, draw for myself, and just enjoying the process... And after that I was months without drawing, cause It felt pointless to me doing art anymore. Turns out what really motivates me to make art is reach for perfection and constantly push my limits and improve. So to me perfectionism is my fuel. I know that you can't ever reach perfection, but pursue perfection leads you to become the second best thing. And that unattainable goal encourages me to always go a little further, and helps me avoid the thing that always ends up killing my passion for drawing, which is feeling stuck.
I remember I used to do 30 minute speed paints of scenes and etc to learn faster and it was very helpful, but when a friend tried it they hated the outcomes so bad (despite them being way better than mine even were) that it made them hate their art in general and feel afraid to draw at all. It's kind of wild how much variety there is to this topic, so I hope people won't push things too hard if they start to notice any tip doesn't work for them specifically
Thank you. I appreciate you sharing the methods you use to get past the "perfectionism freeze". Hopefully, this will help me get past some of my own blocks and just be inspired to just create again.
“Comparison is the thief of joy” is something I try to remind myself everyday, to always remind myself that I am growing. Yes, admittedly, there’s so many younger artists that are PHENOMENAL, and I question why I am not at that level when I’m older. I am reminded art has no age limit, my journey is okay, I can take whatever pace I want/need. Thank you for this reminder❤ And I hope all the artists around continue their fruitful journey.
agree with this content, in the last few months I have started to apply the principle "a good work is the finished work", because it will take forever for me to work on the details that even the audience won't notice and it just exhaust me, then in the end of the day I never finish my WIP
Thank you. I really needed this. I've been avoiding drawing for weeks because my ideas never came out how I wanted them to, but after this video i just started sketching and ended up with a drawing I really liked (it was Beatboxing Puppy and Fat Albert)! Thank you for the advice pikat!
All your videos are helping me to be more productive and see art with other eyes 🎉 i had all the pressure of studying visual arts and always try to make a conceptual philosophical work, and now I'm trying to enjoy drawing, thanks!
I've been struggling a LOT with perfectionism. I started drawing early this year without any prior experionce, and am taking some art classes at university. It's really hard for myself not to beat myself down most days. I'm especially struggling with color drawings rn, and man, thanks for the video. It helps to just remember art takes a long, long time
Something that has helped me a lot lately to not stress too much about getting everything perfect is the fact that some of the bigger artists in the industry even make those mistakes, heck even seeing some odd uncolored points of the hair tips for example. This has led me to not stress about the tiniest details, because if a pro artist does it like that and make different mistakes in the end, and can still get plenty of praise and work, why should i focus on getting everything 100% perfect to the point of stressing myself. I have been enjoying making art like this so much more than i did before.
6:24 another way to go about it that is still pretty similar to your original process is to take your time with gathering references, creating mood boards, and at the end of drawing just evaluating what you could've done better and move on A lot of the time when I make myself pretty reference boards to look at, I'm motivated to draw a lot more! And in the end if I let go of a piece and just study what could be done better, I get motivation too! It just means next time will be better.
I literally had a mental breakdown about how I felt like I was awful at everything besides one thing, so this really helps. Even since I was little, I always thought being able to create art was an amazing talent. I know it’s irrational to think it’s a quick process, but I feel like since I started Art older than a lot of artists, I have too high of standards for myself. I will try and put these suggestions to use. Thank you😅
My perfectionism got me doing analysis by paralysis for YEARS. more than 10 years. this video helped me motivate myself and the activities you suggested works. I'm still struggling tho. But at least I'm moving now. Thank you!
recently, i've been going through some severe motivation/fear issues when it comes to drawing, and i feel like these videos always help and make my struggle feel understood because they feel so real rather than the same base level art stuff that all these other art videos say that don't actually help. i've been struggling to watch any sort of art video for the past week or studying because they haven't been helping me fix my fear of drawing and have actually made the fear worse maybe, but i feel like this came out at the right time. tysm for making them
As someone who struggles with perfectionism, this video is incredibly helpful and motivational. Now I want to pick up my pencil and draw again. Thank you for this! 🙏
I just wanna say, your scripts are so well written! There's a through line that you keep coming back to, you clarify your points well, and they're structured in a way that makes them easy to follow. Honestly there's not much art advice/tutorial TH-cam out there that has that kind of writing so it's really great to see (hear? Watch? Lol) 😎👍
2:40 I relate to this so much! I used to zoom in a lot that it slowed down my learning process but then I switched to a sketchbook and I saw better improvement. My iPad is moderately sized so zooming in felt like it would help but now I know that's not the case and I'm glad I learnt to do that less when I use it.
Drew subscribe button, needed to hear all of this. I still struggle but I want to struggle less and not be full of self loathing every time I wanna draw something
one of my biggest issues is when i finish a picture i almost immediately hate it. Mainly because i know i could have done better. Or if i draw one really good pic and the ones after it are not as good. I feel like im always chasing that peak i had
I recognize myself as a good artist, my friends enjoy what I make and I don't necessarily get as much doubts as others do thanks to my upbringing, yet I find that the quality of my art tends to fluctuate a lot even nowadays. None of the drawings I make manage to even closely match the ideal image I have in my head, or sometimes it was on its way to doing so but it went off the rails in the process and so didn't 'look as good' as I would have wanted it to. When I look back at it when I'm done, I would be disappointed and discouraged as one would. However, don't take the fact that this isn't the best you can do as something that holds you back, but something to keep you grounded and prepared for more! Having expectations is great, you *want* to put in the effort, but you also need to understand that it always goes up no matter how much you improve, no matter how good you get. Focusing on it can only make you more and more frustrated or worse, miserable. I'm sure all artists go through this specific problem, this is why we want to help those who struggle all the same. Cherish the skills you have and enjoy the process as best as you can! You are the reason you made this, and for that alone, you should keep going the way you like it and become even better of an artist than you could possibly think yourself to be.
For me, I am comforted by the fact that I could have done better. I guess it's kind of bad to think that way though, because you still acknowledge your art sucked.
I don't think i can even control my perfectionism anymore due to my severe ocd and me being pushed into always being the "best" of everything i do as i was raised like that, this has effected my art a lot that if i even try to draw imperfect i get really anxious and aggressive. Also even with mistakes other people may not be able to see or notice it but i will still know it's there which will forever bother me, because i don't forget any of the mistakes i make no matter how hard i try to in the end. So letting go of my perfectionism is super painful to me, believe me i tried more times i could count but i always end up right back where i started lol
@@cheyblake2475I have tried all of that and even then i hate it, part of me is an overthinker and has to do thing's perfectly. It's mostly due to an strong desire or urge that causes this (due to my serve ocd) that i can't fully control.
Thank you so much for the tips! I'll try applying it to my process cuz I really do struggle with perfectionism... Like, a lot. And it prevents me from drawing for a loooong time
perfectionism is the reason i’ve never started my art account. i’m 25 and it feels so discouraging to see younger and more successful artists on the internet. unfortunately this is smth i’ve struggled with since starting my 20’s and yeah i get really envious of people who can just Do it without little to no imperfections… well, “no imperfections” at least. i appreciate you making this video and i’m praying that my art somehow stands out after taking your advice 🙏🏼 lol
great video- i have been struggling w this over the past few weeks even since i started drawing even- "beeing afraid of making bad art" hit right the spot i didnt think it was that simple tysm
Thanks for addressing one of my greatest weaknesses As far as zooming goes, I can see myself going halfway. That is, having a separate window in regular zoom, and keep referring to that.
Hello pikat! I randomly stumbled upon ur videos and I’ve been watching them ever since, you’ve really helped me change the way I think about my artwork and my skills 💗 your videos are amazing
the "do a quick sketch of the subscribe button" part is the first time ive drawn something in months, such a creative idea and thank you for giving me and others like me a starting point to our recovery from perfectionism lol ❤💖❤
I resonate so much with this video and I’m only 45 seconds in. I was labeled as ‘gifted’ in school and was doing 3rd grade work in 1st grade. I always felt pressured to be good in as short a time as possible and that in my opinion was what made me form a love hate relationship with a lot of my hobbies and passions. I still struggle heavily with allowing myself to not be pressured to do everything with as close to perfection as possible. It didn’t affect my art until recently, when I was trying to draw my first comic panels. When I was in middle school, I LOVED drawing comic strips and dreamed of selling a full graphic novel one day. But I was ridiculed by my teachers and even the music directors from the band program I attended told me I would never make that goal and it kind of killed my self esteem on top of killing my motivation to draw anything. When I went to high school, I opted to not take art classes because those voices kept haunting me whenever I wanted to try really getting back into comics… I didn’t know that it was because of the trauma that I developed from those words from all of my teachers back then of course but it still affects me to this day. I appreciate you bringing this subject to light though.
ive struggled with perfectionism my entire time making art. ive heard all the advice in the world, but i think a lot of things youve said during streams stuck with me. things along the lines of: "failing is part of learning. the faster you fail, the faster you can get better." and "of course the art in your head doesnt look like whats on paper! your brain doesnt have the full picture. sometimes it gets things wrong and you only realize once you try making it." so i go into illustrations with that mindset. i have a general idea of what i want the picture to look like and im aiming for it, but i know the mind image isnt perfect or fully feasible and ill end up somewhere nearby. and if i dont know how to draw or render something, i look for references. sometimes it still looks bad, but it doesnt ruin the whole piece. and i can try again on the next piece.
I agree with every sentence you say XD. I have those problems as well as feeling bad when I see someone else's rapid improvement at the same time as me, that's what affects me the most.
Yay, my bi-weekly-ish dose of art therapy ^^ Also, your sad Pikat on the thumbnail is, like, _really_ sad this time, it genuinely hurts to see her like that (to be clear, great drawing, just... really good at getting the vibes across yknow). I guess it's the de-chibified art style that does that...
Speaking of perfectionism, I found myself over-correcting things to a point where it actually degraded the energy of the art and actually makes it look stiff and dead. Draw using the idea that conveying the message is good enough, save a checkpoint, then try and push it a liiiiittle bit further but not too much! You'll find an A-level art piece that you love and cherish a lot of the time I guarantee you :)
What do you mean fighting perfectionism? I actively embrace it. What do you mean fear of failure? Fear drives me. Failure is both inevitable and unaccaptable. So every single failure, is a moment to remember, to never repeat. The joy of overcoming faults is greater than a momentary relapse of standards. It's great to feel improvement, it's great to no longer make previous mistakes. Happiness is requires both time and effort, if I relax, I will never achieve it. Self hatred is ultimately not a negative thing, but a necessary evil.
Video comes at a perfect time as Ive been spiraling into depression over this. Over having started too late compare to all my friends who got into art 10-15 years earlier than me. Over not having time, energy and focus after a long day at work.
i think the key is setting limitations for yourself, the more extreme the better. what worked for me was sketching directly in pen. it was TERRIFYING at first. i was mainly doing digital art at the time and going from unlimited undos to NONE UNDOS was rough, but it forced me to observe my references better *or* really think about the pose/features if i was drawing from imagination. it also pretty much eliminated the fear of failure by making failure a certainty. i wasn't making perfect drawings even when i *could* erase/undo and that frustrated me. by taking the eraser/undo button out of the equation, it made me focus more on what i could do with the wobbly lines i put down and how to fix them. it also helped me figure out some of my weaknesses and how to work on them. i can't say i've gotten exponentially better at art, but i don't stress about mistakes anymore, i'm not afraid to start a new sketchbook or use the fancy new art supplies i buy, and more importantly, *i make mistakes faster*. and the faster i make them, the faster i can figure out how to fix them.
I feel like what makes me more comfortable is the fact that my art style is more in the pretty good but still looks like something that needs improvements
im not an artist but this video helped me overcome my problem of not making progress with my music because I keep on editing all the small details no one is going to notice 🔥🔥
As someone in their late closing to their 40s starting from scratch I`m aware of how much I don't know and I approach the basics with interest and taking my time, its a journey no skips for progress, hope this helps anyone even a bit, have a great day everyone!
This sounds like the perfect video for me right now! I thought I'd never struggle with perfectionism, but after high school art and commissions it started creeping in on me until it set in every joint and it feels like I'm stiff and scared where once I was fluent and confident in drawing and painting.
I think it’s normal to inherently seek perfection as an artist and craftsman It’s a never ending journey to seek perfection. But it’s also a journey of love, passion and self discovery.
5:32 speaks to me on a personal level. had this grand idea of a story ive wanted to create for over a year, but i simply dont have the skill to make it. now every time im about to draw, i can barely bring myself to ACTUALLY drawing.
I often think I'm not a perfectionist because I feel perfectionists always make the best work because of their high standards. The projects I make don't always meet my own standards, so I don't see them as the "best" they can be. One of my loved ones is a perfectionist and they always seem to have impossibly high standards of other people's work (including mine). However, after watching this video I know intuitively that I do have high standards. The projects I enjoyed the least were the ones that expected to be way better than my skill level at the time. This was a really insightful video. (Great music choice btw! I love Ace Attorney.)
One of the best things I ever started doing in my art process is I reduce the resolution to 50-60% on my finished drawing. Seriously. I tend to draw zoomed out, but I get anxious about how the drawing will look at 100% so then I end up going back and wasting time by correcting a bunch of tiny details that I never meant for people to see. When the resolution is reduced, the viewer is seeing the drawing how I saw it while working on it, therefore at the intended viewing size. (I tend to draw at 50-60% zoom) :p Drawing zoomed out is also great for not sweating the small stuff. Sometimes you may want to zoom in on delicate parts like the facial expression and clean it up but for most of your process it's totally fine to draw zoomed out. If anything it makes drawing long or sweeping lines easier imo.
i also really struggled with "grand ideas" but drawing with no direction at all was really frustrating because then i couldn't come up with anything at all lol, an exercise that met the happy medium for me was to start sketching with only one word in mind. whether it's an object like "apple" or something more vague like "tranquility" usually starting with just one thing to think about always left me with compositions i enjoyed much more than ones i had already laid out before picking the pencil up. the mental version of focusing on the piece as a whole rather than individual parts
This literally came at the perfect time. (ironic lol) I'm trying to improve my art but even as someone who's been drawing for years I still expect it to be perfect the first time.
Man... I've had this problem for the LONGEST time, except I've been writing a book instead of drawing. It's literally been in the perfectionism trap for 10+ years - and this video has finally given me a possible light at the end of the tunnel for the damned thing lol. Perfectionism really steals the fun out of the process, doesn't it? 😞
30 seconds in, I've never felt SO DIRECTLY spoken to, in any video I've ever watched

I not only feel targeted, but seen. Just last night I was thinking to myself, "how are other artists just banging a piece out in a matter of hours while it take me days, weeks, even well over a month?" And I was thinking that while I was trying to correct literal *PIXELS* that no one will see when zoomed out...
I feel this on a personal level
Same bruh 😔
That's a mood. Several hundred hours redrawing something that will *literally* not be seen because its covered by something else in the image.
Accepting imperfections in your art is the first step
The next step is to manifest perfectionism as a physical being
_Proceed to suplex said being_
Instructions unclear.
Manifested a stand.
Doing digital art doesn't help in that regard. The possibility to CTRL+Z every "flaw" is an issue when it comes to perfectionism.
Instructions unclear.
My perfectionism became a deer.
@@badi1220 ORA ORA
From what ive learned in the past couple months, one quote that ive read completely changed how i view art "imperfections make it human"
I’m a traditional artist and I zoom in by getting closer to the page and focusing my eyes more. Good luck! 😊
Literally said the same thing lol
If I just accept that my arts gonna be ugly and just draw its helps me in a wierd roundabout way when i finish and it turns out not too bad. A really good way to explain it simply was through a tip someone gave me when i asked them what i should be ready for joining Guilty Gear Strive as a new player😅 But they told me to learn to love losing.
Yeah man, in competitive games I've always found the less I try to win, the better I perform. Just gotta relax and get into the flow, can't do that if I'm clenching the whole time.
Wait, that community is friendly? I thought most competitive fighting game communities are mostly... unpleasant? (Aside from maybe the modders and artists)

My problem (for one) isn't that I think I HAVE to be perfect, it's that I WANT to be. It doesn't feel like I have to prove something to others, but proving to myself that my efforts are worth it. 2, I'm afraid that after years and years of drawing, I will not improve ENOUGH. (aka improve in the way I wanted to), and that I will always be behind next to better, more skilled artists that took the same or even less amount of time getting 10 times better than I did. And, the last thing is that I don't feel like starting something and working on it for hours, when I KNOW it will turn out bad. Why wouls I consiously run straight into a ditch? Why would I start something when I know that it's not going to turn out right? And it's always "Do something simpler!" or whatever, but I WANT to do complex things. I don't WANT to spend my time doing something I don't like doing. I want to make art, not do homework.

Pues si muchas cosas te saldrá como el culo, pero la obsesión por el resultado perfecto o "bueno' solo te lleva a no avanzar.
esta bien dibujos feos, mejoras aunque sea 0.1 haciendolos.
acepta que los dibujos "buenos" saldrán como consecuencia de haber practicado y dibujos "feos"
eso es que me ha ayudado, espero que te alguna extraña manera te ayude
I loved this and another note about details I learned from cartography and pen drawings, was less is more, meaning the few details you throw onto a large blank surface allows for the viewers imagination to fill in the gaps in a more satisfying way. but ultimately I struggle with perfectionism when drawing anatomy of people and animals, ugh it sucks but i seen your Chibi video this morning and is making it more manageable to understand and draw. from one artist to another much love and your doing awesome
The blurry idea in the head is very relatable 😭😭. I spend TOO MUCH time research for polishing idea in my head. Only to fell into the disappointment because too much expectations is build up during researching. You make me realize that many of my art work didn't start because i did research and making perfect sketch at first try but start from "oh i just want to draw something like....this??" then polish it over and over to make good sketch instead
I love how u coincidentally upload this topic when im currently suffering from it, thank you for your advice it helps a lot ❤❤
My perspective on this is a bit different, to me its less about learning and improving and more about accepting time is ultimately finite. Every great artist ever has a certain amount of artworks they made by the time they've died. I try to think less about the ultimate amount of masterpieces and more about the joy or experiences they must've had while working on those projects.
And it all comes back to that childhood memory of feeling the joy of making something. Finished not perfect, I no longer desire to create perfect art, I honestly rather want it to remain flawed because my style changing too fast all too sudden was part of feeling stressed, every piece had to live up to another piece I really liked. And that's not good.
I still look back at older art that clearly isn't the same quality as what I make now, and sometimes find pieces that I know have more joy in them than work I was making for the sake of making them.
Spontaneous art is always the best.
And I love my cheeky little flaws! It adds something personal to them. I refuse to look at my work and insult myself. I turn negativity into positivity. Every flaw teaches me something.
I'm mortal, I'm not going to live forever, I have no desire to ''make a mark'' or leave some impact. I just want to be happy when I make things, Wether its for myself or others. That's what art means to me. It doesn't have to live up to the old masters, or artists I look up to, because it is mine. It is part of my soul and my identity. I made something and that's good enough for me.
The times that I was striving for perfection because others wanted me to live up to a certain standard or draw like popular artists were the most miserable parts of my journey. I was not having fun. I like that my work is different.
I like that it isn't perfect. It's mine!
But then again, I'm not a career artist, I'm a disabled person and I have the privilege of working for the fun of it, so my perspective might be biased.
I hope more people can ultimately look at their older work and stop insulting it though, because there was love and time that went into it.
...
I don't think that I'll ever find a stone slab big enough to engrave your comment.
But I so should.
Your style changing fast is a sign of large improvement; Stopping that only puts a damper to your progress.
What you really had to fix was the expectations you start each drawing with.
If you want it turn out like your last, think: 'I want it to turn out *something* like my last piece, but if it doesn't, eh whatever.'
Convince yourself that you almost don't care how it turns out, but still try patch up the flaws.
@@Allyfynin the end as long as you're happy with your art there's no wrong way to do it.
Love this.
Thank you for your words, I needed to hear them. Im just like in this video, my fear of not being perfect make me not to draw for years, becouse ill tell myself "whats the point, there are better artists then me, mine art are not good enough and they never be." I forgot that when I was young I was sketching like crazy, sometimes 10 arts a day! I was full of ideas and loved drawing even if I wasnt good at it. I forgot that how mutch joy it gives me, becouse they wasn't perfect but they was mine. Sailor Moon and Clamp inspired me the most so you can gess how my art looked like. Long legs, triangle body and big eyes XD. And I was so proud of them. It changed by the time, but I still have them somwhere. But now I dont even doodle. You remind me that I need to find that childchood joy and just draw for joy of drawing and stop sabotage myself. Thank you.
I rarely comment but I felt this was the time for me to speak out.
I'm now a professional artist freshly out of art school and I've been considered to be one of the best in my section by my other mates because of my very detailed artstyle.
Yet, I was feeling like everything I did... Wasn't enough at some point because I felt there just wasn't enough details!
It's okay to pass through that kind of period and kinda needing of a perfect trait/position/background/XYZ thing because of the fear of failure, know that you're not alone and you'll eventually get better (to whoever is reading me).
I'm now trying to get out of that perfection and I'm beginning to enjoy doing art just like before I was even considered good to begin with.
To people reading me and who wanna have a breathe of fresh air, I highly recommend Sumi-e painting, where the goal is to capture the element's dynamic with the fewest lines possible.
It's an old Japanese style of painting and it really helps relaxing and getting out of perfection (mentioning that you're supposed to paint directly without sketch and with China ink/brush!).
This is really helping me right now as I'm currently working on my first comic and that totally relax the drawing hand and mind... Letting you draw more confidently and naturally.
I'm gonna try the sumi E painting suggestion, thank u for ur comment and sharing
I found your channel recently, and I have to admit, your tutorials and tips have really helped my art flourish! Your advice is easy to understand, and it's not like other artists where they simply give advice that applies to their artstyle in particular. ^^
Its really motivating and validating to hear someone say something I go through outloud. Like, I very often dont begin a drawing cause I see something that inspires me and before im even able to open csp I go "But it wont look as good as that" and so I stop. Its always felt silly but hearing someone else say they experience that feeling is amazing!! Thanks for the constant amazings vids!!
Even if some of your advice feels a little mundane and obvious after watching one of your videos, it really does help when someone points out something super simple in the right words. And I think you're great a t doing just that, if that makes any sense at all. So thank you.
4:00 I really needed to hear that. I've been struggling with this mindset for the past month. Haven't been able to draw anything beyond sketches because my mind was just preventing me from doing it because I just subconciously thought of all my drawings will be bad beyond it.
I've struggled with perfectionism when it comes to my art for such a long time and you are SO right about how hard it is to get out of that mindset. I've started having WAY more fun with my work once I realized that 'bad' art isn't 'bad' at all because you still learned something! There can always be a take 2 somewhere down the line!!
this video couldn’t of come at a better time! dealing with some terrible perfectionism rn 😭 so i’m glad this is here!
I like how she used the word “yet” a lot, this helped a lot, thank you
Once again, you seem to have the exact same struggles as me about this. Thanks to you I've been starting to be able to look at my art with the mindset of one who is learning and that I'll get it eventually, instead of being so hard on myself and thinking I'm stupid and I'll never be able to do it. I even find myself actually enjoying it and looking forward to drawing much more when before the thought used to cause anxiety. It was hard, I love art so much but always being so strict and unforgiving with myself I think was slowly killing my passion
This…thank you…I just needed someone to finally say something.
I used to have this problem with perfectionism, so I had to learn to relax, draw for myself, and just enjoying the process...
And after that I was months without drawing, cause It felt pointless to me doing art anymore.
Turns out what really motivates me to make art is reach for perfection and constantly push my limits and improve.
So to me perfectionism is my fuel. I know that you can't ever reach perfection, but pursue perfection leads you to become the second best thing.
And that unattainable goal encourages me to always go a little further, and helps me avoid the thing that always ends up killing my passion for drawing, which is feeling stuck.
I remember I used to do 30 minute speed paints of scenes and etc to learn faster and it was very helpful, but when a friend tried it they hated the outcomes so bad (despite them being way better than mine even were) that it made them hate their art in general and feel afraid to draw at all. It's kind of wild how much variety there is to this topic, so I hope people won't push things too hard if they start to notice any tip doesn't work for them specifically
Thank you. I appreciate you sharing the methods you use to get past the "perfectionism freeze". Hopefully, this will help me get past some of my own blocks and just be inspired to just create again.
“Comparison is the thief of joy” is something I try to remind myself everyday, to always remind myself that I am growing. Yes, admittedly, there’s so many younger artists that are PHENOMENAL, and I question why I am not at that level when I’m older.
I am reminded art has no age limit, my journey is okay, I can take whatever pace I want/need.
Thank you for this reminder❤ And I hope all the artists around continue their fruitful journey.
3:04..... Yeah... who would zoom in on feet Pikat..... Think about it
I have sent this to so many of my friends. Thanks for this, pikat. :D
agree with this content, in the last few months I have started to apply the principle "a good work is the finished work", because it will take forever for me to work on the details that even the audience won't notice and it just exhaust me, then in the end of the day I never finish my WIP
Thank you. I really needed this. I've been avoiding drawing for weeks because my ideas never came out how I wanted them to, but after this video i just started sketching and ended up with a drawing I really liked (it was Beatboxing Puppy and Fat Albert)! Thank you for the advice pikat!
All your videos are helping me to be more productive and see art with other eyes 🎉 i had all the pressure of studying visual arts and always try to make a conceptual philosophical work, and now I'm trying to enjoy drawing, thanks!
Ace attorney music is so nice. I should sketch some, I've never really sat down to draw without intention.
This is literally exactly what I need right now. Words can’t describe how helpful this is… thank you…
I've been struggling a LOT with perfectionism. I started drawing early this year without any prior experionce, and am taking some art classes at university. It's really hard for myself not to beat myself down most days. I'm especially struggling with color drawings rn, and man, thanks for the video. It helps to just remember art takes a long, long time
Something that has helped me a lot lately to not stress too much about getting everything perfect is the fact that some of the bigger artists in the industry even make those mistakes, heck even seeing some odd uncolored points of the hair tips for example.
This has led me to not stress about the tiniest details, because if a pro artist does it like that and make different mistakes in the end, and can still get plenty of praise and work, why should i focus on getting everything 100% perfect to the point of stressing myself.
I have been enjoying making art like this so much more than i did before.
6:24 another way to go about it that is still pretty similar to your original process is to take your time with gathering references, creating mood boards, and at the end of drawing just evaluating what you could've done better and move on
A lot of the time when I make myself pretty reference boards to look at, I'm motivated to draw a lot more! And in the end if I let go of a piece and just study what could be done better, I get motivation too! It just means next time will be better.
I literally had a mental breakdown about how I felt like I was awful at everything besides one thing, so this really helps. Even since I was little, I always thought being able to create art was an amazing talent. I know it’s irrational to think it’s a quick process, but I feel like since I started Art older than a lot of artists, I have too high of standards for myself. I will try and put these suggestions to use. Thank you😅
the call out at the start is so real! Thank you for this video, i need it
My perfectionism got me doing analysis by paralysis for YEARS. more than 10 years. this video helped me motivate myself and the activities you suggested works. I'm still struggling tho. But at least I'm moving now. Thank you!
recently, i've been going through some severe motivation/fear issues when it comes to drawing, and i feel like these videos always help and make my struggle feel understood because they feel so real rather than the same base level art stuff that all these other art videos say that don't actually help. i've been struggling to watch any sort of art video for the past week or studying because they haven't been helping me fix my fear of drawing and have actually made the fear worse maybe, but i feel like this came out at the right time. tysm for making them
Funnily enough, the Ace Attorney feels very appropriate fir thus topic, nice video
Why did my dumbass type it like this
As someone who struggles with perfectionism, this video is incredibly helpful and motivational. Now I want to pick up my pencil and draw again. Thank you for this! 🙏
These were some pretty solid tips as a person who can't help but focus in on the small details, a timer really helps!
Thank you so much for making these videos. I always feel so encouraged and motivated to keep trying after watching them. You are a blessing 😭
YOU HELPED ME WHEN I WAS GOING TROUGHT MY ART BLOCK, TYSM!!❤❤
I just wanna say, your scripts are so well written! There's a through line that you keep coming back to, you clarify your points well, and they're structured in a way that makes them easy to follow. Honestly there's not much art advice/tutorial TH-cam out there that has that kind of writing so it's really great to see (hear? Watch? Lol) 😎👍
Thanks for the thoughts! I have struggled for a while to make a start on anything. I’ll be trying out some of your tips!
I haven't visited pikat since she had like 60k ish subs and now look at her always enjoying your content - please don't stop making them
Idk what happened but I actually cried in the middle of video. Thank you so much for the video, it helped me feel much better now
2:40 I relate to this so much! I used to zoom in a lot that it slowed down my learning process but then I switched to a sketchbook and I saw better improvement. My iPad is moderately sized so zooming in felt like it would help but now I know that's not the case and I'm glad I learnt to do that less when I use it.
I'm not even at artist, but the quality of your videos just draw me in
Drew subscribe button, needed to hear all of this. I still struggle but I want to struggle less and not be full of self loathing every time I wanna draw something
one of my biggest issues is when i finish a picture i almost immediately hate it. Mainly because i know i could have done better. Or if i draw one really good pic and the ones after it are not as good. I feel like im always chasing that peak i had
literally same, i feel like with any drawing it has to be better than the previous and i have horribly high expectations it just puts me at a block
I recognize myself as a good artist, my friends enjoy what I make and I don't necessarily get as much doubts as others do thanks to my upbringing, yet I find that the quality of my art tends to fluctuate a lot even nowadays. None of the drawings I make manage to even closely match the ideal image I have in my head, or sometimes it was on its way to doing so but it went off the rails in the process and so didn't 'look as good' as I would have wanted it to. When I look back at it when I'm done, I would be disappointed and discouraged as one would.
However, don't take the fact that this isn't the best you can do as something that holds you back, but something to keep you grounded and prepared for more!
Having expectations is great, you *want* to put in the effort, but you also need to understand that it always goes up no matter how much you improve, no matter how good you get. Focusing on it can only make you more and more frustrated or worse, miserable. I'm sure all artists go through this specific problem, this is why we want to help those who struggle all the same.
Cherish the skills you have and enjoy the process as best as you can! You are the reason you made this, and for that alone, you should keep going the way you like it and become even better of an artist than you could possibly think yourself to be.
@@cupley8242The trick is to not have an ideal image in your head.
For me, I am comforted by the fact that I could have done better. I guess it's kind of bad to think that way though, because you still acknowledge your art sucked.
@@bruh8041 It's good to acknowledge the flaws of your art, the only problem is when you do it unhealthily.
I don't think i can even control my perfectionism anymore due to my severe ocd and me being pushed into always being the "best" of everything i do as i was raised like that, this has effected my art a lot that if i even try to draw imperfect i get really anxious and aggressive.
Also even with mistakes other people may not be able to see or notice it but i will still know it's there which will forever bother me, because i don't forget any of the mistakes i make no matter how hard i try to in the end.
So letting go of my perfectionism is super painful to me, believe me i tried more times i could count but i always end up right back where i started lol
Have you tried to start small, as in gesture drawing, or find tips to make drawing easier?
@@cheyblake2475I have tried all of that and even then i hate it, part of me is an overthinker and has to do thing's perfectly.
It's mostly due to an strong desire or urge that causes this (due to my serve ocd) that i can't fully control.
Thanks for the short effective actually helping and not making me frustrated or feeling guilt because I’m not « just doing it » video 🙏🏾
This couldn't be more needed. I experience this like a few hours ago. Causing me to stop drawing because I didn't like how it looked. Thanks so much ❤
ehm actually you can zoom in with traditional art!! you just put your face very close to the canvas!!!!!
A fine point
u can also have a reference window on tradiitonal art by Pulling one eyeball out and put it to the side ♡
Thank you so much for the tips! I'll try applying it to my process cuz I really do struggle with perfectionism... Like, a lot. And it prevents me from drawing for a loooong time
perfectionism is the reason i’ve never started my art account. i’m 25 and it feels so discouraging to see younger and more successful artists on the internet. unfortunately this is smth i’ve struggled with since starting my 20’s and yeah i get really envious of people who can just Do it without little to no imperfections… well, “no imperfections” at least. i appreciate you making this video and i’m praying that my art somehow stands out after taking your advice 🙏🏼 lol
great video- i have been struggling w this over the past few weeks even since i started drawing even- "beeing afraid of making bad art" hit right the spot i didnt think it was that simple tysm
Wow! I've been doing these things recently to battle my own perfectionism as well, it's kind of nice to see we came up with similar ideas ❤
Thanks for addressing one of my greatest weaknesses
As far as zooming goes, I can see myself going halfway. That is, having a separate window in regular zoom, and keep referring to that.
Even though I think it has gotten a lot better already, I still struggle from time to time. Thank you for your tips
As a drawer whose a perfectionist, this is gonna help a HELLUVA LOT
Hello pikat! I randomly stumbled upon ur videos and I’ve been watching them ever since, you’ve really helped me change the way I think about my artwork and my skills 💗 your videos are amazing
the "do a quick sketch of the subscribe button" part is the first time ive drawn something in months, such a creative idea and thank you for giving me and others like me a starting point to our recovery from perfectionism lol ❤💖❤
I agree with all the other commenters on here...
I needed to hear this speech for a long, long time.
Thanks, pikat
I resonate so much with this video and I’m only 45 seconds in. I was labeled as ‘gifted’ in school and was doing 3rd grade work in 1st grade. I always felt pressured to be good in as short a time as possible and that in my opinion was what made me form a love hate relationship with a lot of my hobbies and passions. I still struggle heavily with allowing myself to not be pressured to do everything with as close to perfection as possible. It didn’t affect my art until recently, when I was trying to draw my first comic panels. When I was in middle school, I LOVED drawing comic strips and dreamed of selling a full graphic novel one day. But I was ridiculed by my teachers and even the music directors from the band program I attended told me I would never make that goal and it kind of killed my self esteem on top of killing my motivation to draw anything. When I went to high school, I opted to not take art classes because those voices kept haunting me whenever I wanted to try really getting back into comics… I didn’t know that it was because of the trauma that I developed from those words from all of my teachers back then of course but it still affects me to this day. I appreciate you bringing this subject to light though.
this video touched me appropriately 🎀
ive struggled with perfectionism my entire time making art. ive heard all the advice in the world, but i think a lot of things youve said during streams stuck with me. things along the lines of:
"failing is part of learning. the faster you fail, the faster you can get better."
and
"of course the art in your head doesnt look like whats on paper! your brain doesnt have the full picture. sometimes it gets things wrong and you only realize once you try making it."
so i go into illustrations with that mindset. i have a general idea of what i want the picture to look like and im aiming for it, but i know the mind image isnt perfect or fully feasible and ill end up somewhere nearby. and if i dont know how to draw or render something, i look for references. sometimes it still looks bad, but it doesnt ruin the whole piece. and i can try again on the next piece.
I agree with every sentence you say XD. I have those problems as well as feeling bad when I see someone else's rapid improvement at the same time as me, that's what affects me the most.
yooooo pikat you've blown up a lot since i started watching you well deserved keep up the good work
Yay, my bi-weekly-ish dose of art therapy ^^
Also, your sad Pikat on the thumbnail is, like, _really_ sad this time, it genuinely hurts to see her like that (to be clear, great drawing, just... really good at getting the vibes across yknow). I guess it's the de-chibified art style that does that...
Speaking of perfectionism, I found myself over-correcting things to a point where it actually degraded the energy of the art and actually makes it look stiff and dead.
Draw using the idea that conveying the message is good enough, save a checkpoint, then try and push it a liiiiittle bit further but not too much! You'll find an A-level art piece that you love and cherish a lot of the time I guarantee you :)
What do you mean fighting perfectionism? I actively embrace it.
What do you mean fear of failure? Fear drives me. Failure is both inevitable and unaccaptable. So every single failure, is a moment to remember, to never repeat. The joy of overcoming faults is greater than a momentary relapse of standards. It's great to feel improvement, it's great to no longer make previous mistakes. Happiness is requires both time and effort, if I relax, I will never achieve it.
Self hatred is ultimately not a negative thing, but a necessary evil.
Honestly perfectionism has been a big part of my art block for the past few months and honestly I'm struggling physically. Thank you for the tips.
This is so relatable and so well timed too ❤❤❤
Video comes at a perfect time as Ive been spiraling into depression over this.
Over having started too late compare to all my friends who got into art 10-15 years earlier than me. Over not having time, energy and focus after a long day at work.
ty for the insight! it rlly helps me getting throught stuff!
Thank you so much for this video, it made me relate a lot and feel more motivated to work on my arts/drawings ❤
when pikat uploads i drop everything that i was doing
This video came at the right time for me, love your work!
i think the key is setting limitations for yourself, the more extreme the better. what worked for me was sketching directly in pen. it was TERRIFYING at first. i was mainly doing digital art at the time and going from unlimited undos to NONE UNDOS was rough, but it forced me to observe my references better *or* really think about the pose/features if i was drawing from imagination. it also pretty much eliminated the fear of failure by making failure a certainty. i wasn't making perfect drawings even when i *could* erase/undo and that frustrated me. by taking the eraser/undo button out of the equation, it made me focus more on what i could do with the wobbly lines i put down and how to fix them. it also helped me figure out some of my weaknesses and how to work on them.
i can't say i've gotten exponentially better at art, but i don't stress about mistakes anymore, i'm not afraid to start a new sketchbook or use the fancy new art supplies i buy, and more importantly, *i make mistakes faster*. and the faster i make them, the faster i can figure out how to fix them.
I feel like what makes me more comfortable is the fact that my art style is more in the pretty good but still looks like something that needs improvements
im not an artist but this video helped me overcome my problem of not making progress with my music because I keep on editing all the small details no one is going to notice 🔥🔥
As someone who used that timer trick it does work. It really does.
As someone in their late closing to their 40s starting from scratch I`m aware of how much I don't know and I approach the basics with interest and taking my time, its a journey no skips for progress, hope this helps anyone even a bit, have a great day everyone!
This sounds like the perfect video for me right now! I thought I'd never struggle with perfectionism, but after high school art and commissions it started creeping in on me until it set in every joint and it feels like I'm stiff and scared where once I was fluent and confident in drawing and painting.
I think it’s normal to inherently seek perfection as an artist and craftsman
It’s a never ending journey to seek perfection. But it’s also a journey of love, passion and self discovery.
5:32 speaks to me on a personal level. had this grand idea of a story ive wanted to create for over a year, but i simply dont have the skill to make it. now every time im about to draw, i can barely bring myself to ACTUALLY drawing.
I often think I'm not a perfectionist because I feel perfectionists always make the best work because of their high standards. The projects I make don't always meet my own standards, so I don't see them as the "best" they can be. One of my loved ones is a perfectionist and they always seem to have impossibly high standards of other people's work (including mine). However, after watching this video I know intuitively that I do have high standards. The projects I enjoyed the least were the ones that expected to be way better than my skill level at the time. This was a really insightful video. (Great music choice btw! I love Ace Attorney.)
Nothing I could say would add anything.
This video is for me, no doubt it is. And I need it... as a reminder.
One of the best things I ever started doing in my art process is I reduce the resolution to 50-60% on my finished drawing. Seriously. I tend to draw zoomed out, but I get anxious about how the drawing will look at 100% so then I end up going back and wasting time by correcting a bunch of tiny details that I never meant for people to see. When the resolution is reduced, the viewer is seeing the drawing how I saw it while working on it, therefore at the intended viewing size. (I tend to draw at 50-60% zoom) :p Drawing zoomed out is also great for not sweating the small stuff. Sometimes you may want to zoom in on delicate parts like the facial expression and clean it up but for most of your process it's totally fine to draw zoomed out. If anything it makes drawing long or sweeping lines easier imo.
i also really struggled with "grand ideas" but drawing with no direction at all was really frustrating because then i couldn't come up with anything at all lol, an exercise that met the happy medium for me was to start sketching with only one word in mind. whether it's an object like "apple" or something more vague like "tranquility" usually starting with just one thing to think about always left me with compositions i enjoyed much more than ones i had already laid out before picking the pencil up. the mental version of focusing on the piece as a whole rather than individual parts
ur the goat you always make videos exactly when im sufferin and about what im suffering from
glad i got a sneak peek for the intro
Thx Pikat, I needed this
This literally came at the perfect time. (ironic lol) I'm trying to improve my art but even as someone who's been drawing for years I still expect it to be perfect the first time.
Man... I've had this problem for the LONGEST time, except I've been writing a book instead of drawing. It's literally been in the perfectionism trap for 10+ years - and this video has finally given me a possible light at the end of the tunnel for the damned thing lol.
Perfectionism really steals the fun out of the process, doesn't it? 😞
i'm no artist (not a drawing one i mean) but this helps with every tipe of craft! thank you Pikat onee-san 😁
