I watch movies and draw , what usually happens is I forget I have the movie on and I just draw. Hearing talking and Music that’s coming from the movie helps me focus on my art as it puts me in a position where i feel most comfortable (instead of silence)
For those who don't want to watch the whole video. Here is the list: 1) Focus Focus and Focus don't do anything else 2)Don't comparing yourself to others 3)Don't give up 4)Don't discourage others 5)Don't wait for 'that' moment
I think that everybody always says "don't give up", without actually saying how to keep going. For some people, looking at other people's art is the most destructive thing to do. And when somebody tells them "you can't give up!" They end up feeling worse about their art than before.

By saying "dont give up" you are treating the symptom, not the disease.
Definately Krell People also always tell you to practice when you ask for advice but never tell what to practice. It’s useless to ‘practice’ if you don’t know what to practice.
oh my gosh exactly, whenever I look at other people’s art I feel like crap and I don’t really draw anymore because it just stresses me out and it sucks
If someone tells me why he shouldn't give up I always reply that he isn't forced on doing anything. He can give up, but he wants to? If you feel that you don't like doing this and are sure you will never regret this choice, than, go ahead, give up!
I agree so I found my own solution to the stupid platitude of "don't give up." I keep 6 folders full of unfinished projects. When I'm in a sunny bright mood, there's all that colorful art that needs more work. In a 2nd folder, I've put in all my black and white works. This is broken down further into pencil, charcoal and pen & ink. Then colored pencils. Then I keep 2 large folders. 1 for living things like people and animals and another for inanimate objects. Most importantly is a list of each thing i want to correct/improve on each of these pictures. Depending on that day's lighting and my personal mood, I can apply myself to anyone of these because SOMETHING is bound to mesh with the lighting, mood style or lack of inspiration I feel that day. That's how I don't give up. If I can't do color that day, i'll do black n white. If my portraits suck atm, then i'll do a landscape. Other times, I want to organize what needs improvement so I use printer paper and do things like practicing how to draw noses, animal fur, tree textures, etc. So if you're told 'don't give up' I hope maybe even 1 of my suggestions helps a fellow artist.

A girl said she hates anime and asked if I can draw her in my art style.... I draw anime... Edit: wow lots of likes and also looks like imma get sued! It's a joke! :| Edit 2: thanks fir telling me that stuff tho... you guys actually said it nicely instead of yelling at me...so ya... thx... Edit 3: this is so old stop fighting
I used to draw ALL the time last year. Then i became very self conscious and i hated my art. For 7 months i stopped drawing and said i "was bad at it" even though i wasn't. I was also moving across seas and i didn't have enough time to draw. A few weeks ago a kid told me at school "Why do you say you can't draw, but you want to be an animator when you grow up? It makes no sense" and i hate this kid but he pretty much helped me get back into art.I thought about what he said and i noticed that i can't give up. So i started to draw again and i am SO happy that i did So if you feel discouraged at all, just don't give up. Keep on trying
•LanceyLance• I guess when you start it, there will be non-stop improvements even if we stopped for few days or months, bcuz between those gap, you'll learn few or more principles of the surroundings for the idea for our arts. Nice going btw, been through that situation😂 and I gotta agree with ya. Never give up to achieve something, even if something is in your way👍
It's so nice that this isn't "don't do x stylistic thing", which a lot of art tip videos are- so thank you for supporting real artist growth. As a less than perfect artist myself, it's really nice to hear this!
When I was a freshmen in highschool, my art teacher noticed I was alot better than anyone in my school so she pushed me to pursue art more than just a hobby. The first time I took AP Studio art as a freshmen , I disliked my portfolio because it was filled with good art, but not my style because she wanted me to replicate other artists. She believed realism was the easiest way to pass, I did pass but with a 3 out of 5. I won many contests and got many compliments because so many people liked my realism artwork. But I took a break for a year and took AP Drawing in my second semester of my senior year. By that time my art teacher believed I was able to pass without using other artist's style so I used everything from my sketchbook and passed with a 5 out of 5. Finding your own style is better than using someone else's because your work would look so much better if you are able to pour all your heart and skills to make something you are proud of. I wished someone would of told me that before.
i think it really depends. i personally think it's a good way to track your development and gain constructive criticism which you can apply to your work. but it can also be a bad thing if people are just commenting harsh things, that can really make you feel unmotivated and terrible about your art.
I went onto a small community on amino at the time when I was sort of beginning and I was openly accepted I made quite a few friends on there as well. I think it just depends on which ones you pick just be safe.
Sir Egglord Amino is a relatively safe place at least from my experience. I’ve been on there for over a year now and I’ve never had anyone say something negative towards me. All I’ve had is people complimenting my art and encouraging me to improve.
I was making a sketch while watching this video and I think it makes sense pay attention to one subject and never watch tv or watch anything because I easily lose my attention
Megadeth is cool. I read Dave's autobiography and it's really a funny read. But while he had that inferiority complex in the background he really made some unforgettable music and worked with a couple of the best metal players on earth.
I've run in some pretty heavy circles of artists and despite all the love and respect we have for each other, there is a healthy amount of competition between all of us. We're always trying g to make something cooler than the next, but we'll always be there to tell them how we did it, share tip and tricks, be supportive, and try to lift each other up. Being competitive and using that to fuel you is not a bad thing. There will be times doing something out of spite or to prove someone wrong will show you how much you're capable of and afterwards probably be grateful for how they pushed you even if the person was being an a$$.
I wouldn't put it like that. I'd go with "I'll try doing whatever my idol does so my practice can go somewhere" or something similar to it. Art isn't a competition! (except for when it is)
Go into a musical. When you listen to one musical, you get sucked in. I recommend: The Phantom Of The Opera The Book Of Mormon Wicked Hamilton (I will shoot any annoying fangirls in this thread) 21 Chump Street The Comet of 1812 Phantom Of The Opera(the story is so fierce, it may stir up some drawing ideas inside) Heathers In The Heights Others are saying: Be More Chill (Never heard it yet) My favorite musical is Dear Evan Hansen but it's mostly dialogue so you'd need to open up a Wikipedia page along with a website of the lyrics to get understand it. Also, for motivation, listen to Wait For It (hamilton soundtrack ) and Heart Of Courage by Two Steps From Hell. Listen to ANYTHING by Two Steps From Hell, actually. It's one of those things that each song makes you feel a different way. It paints a picture in your mind and that's good for painting. Same Linsy Striling. Other recommendations include: Owl City Christina Perri SARA BARELLIES (Used To Be Mine is my favorite song ever) Kelly Clarkson (People Like Us is my favorite from her) Sia Coldplay Paramore Echosmith Imagine Dragons The Script (also great motivation) Bon Jovi Panic! At the disco (I will shoot any annoying fangirls) Beyonce American Authors Sleeping at Last is hella relaxing and deep P!nk Ellie Golding Songs: Something like This (Coldplay+Chainsmokers) Airplanes (B.o.B) Coming Home (Second one I think) Home (Phillip something) Living on a prayer- Bon Jovi Kk long list. Many options. have fun
I recommend Sleeping at last! His music is quite relaxing and due to interesting qualities it gives me much inspiration! And I focus much more then I would without. You can get lost in much of his music
Me: I should continue with housework Also me: Oh Robin uploaded a new video? Me again: *watching the new video and every old video of Robin* Housework: *is not done*
New sub here: Okay so why are all of your bad habits for *artists* actually bad habit for *humans* ?? I feel like I could play your vids for my non-artist friends and family & they'd all gt something out of it. LOVE YOU ROBIN.
All these habits I usually do. Comparing my art to older people is a bad habit. I enjoy seeing peoples reactions to my work, and I always try to help people improve...but then I see peoples work in High School and Im only in 8th grade. I thought of what I can do to imrpove and overall pass them, but I always get jealous of those who are better than me...mostly people who I know and are close to...
@@Stannis221B You have no idea how many times I’ve seen 9 or 10 year olds drawing a realistic magical eye at school as a doodle or whatever meanwhile I’m struggling to finish coloring a pot that’s due tomorrow, even though I started it two months ago... (I’m 12, so I can’t say I’m the worst but it feels kind of bad, hehe)
I have the dilemma to never finish my art🤦🏽♂️ like I start with something thinking it will be amazing and then suddenly next day I start something new and forget the previous thing...😔 any tips or something that can help?
I have this problem. If it's become a habit to start but not finish, then every time you do it, you reinforce it and become more discouraged. Here's an idea: maybe try an art style that allows you to finish a piece really quickly, and do that for a while, to break the pattern and give you the satisfaction of having finished pieces. I'm having a lot of fun with Bob Ross tutorials just now, getting a whole oil painting finished in one sitting, 3 to 4 hours, it's incredibly satisfying and is helping to break a LONG streak of not finishing things. You could do something like that, or maybe really small pictures, simplified pictures, something like that.
I'm only eleven going on twelve and I'd love to get into a bigger group of artists but I am in a small place and I'm very worried about being called too young
Sarahcutieartist thank god we are not the only young artists, i'm only 11 but i really enjoy drawing and LITERALLY all of my friends say i'm "too young"
hii i would love for you to talk about "cheating" in art, stuff like tracing, heavily using references, ive always worried i would never improve my skills if i rely on references too much. love your art btw :)
I often use trace poses I like in ny sketch and then draw over it with tge character I'm drawing... I've been studying proportions and other things at the same time, so for me it is helping, however I also feel at a disadvantage whenever I don't have a reference. I know I'm going to have to start dropping my reference tracing, but only when I feel a little more confident. I would suggest that you find a good balance between tracing and freehanding it.
thanks for the responses ! Yeah I see how it's only a matter of time till I let go references, I only do art as a hobby and I'm just waiting till I get my style. I always find it interesting listening to what people believe "cheating" is in art
No no referencing is great!! It's how you learn. Eventually you'll be able to easily draw what you used to need to trace, and then you can put your own spin on it and everything just goes from there. Art is a spiraling subject, so everything you learn only builds on itself. The only "cheating" in art is when you copy or trace something that's not yours and claim that it is
Not a professional artist or anything, but here's a bit of advice from what I've picked up over the years, whether through tutorials on deviantArt/TH-cam or just from personal experience! Tracing: Good type of tracing: I use this often to kind of learn the anatomy of different things. For example, I had to draw a manatee once for my club t-shirt. Instead of just going off of reference photos, I decided to take several reference pictures into Photoshop. Then, I traced over the head and body, simplifying them into shapes. From there, I was able to draw my own manatee in its own pose since I knew roughly what its anatomy was like. Bad type of tracing: Tracing over someone else's drawing and changing colors, clothing, hair, etc. just to make it "yours." This doesn't help you to improve at all-you're only copying the lines and not learning the structure of the drawing underneath. Heavily using references: Don't be afraid to use references! Artists are HUGE on references-you can't trust your own brain to know everything. Use them for poses, how clothing works (folds and such), hair, etc. The only time I would consider it bad is if you took someone else's drawing as a "reference," and just ended up copying everything just with different color schemes or clothing. Here's one of my favorite tutorials on references! slimeattackk.deviantart.com/art/Tutorial-14-Photoref-to-make-the-difference-286581045 As long as you are adding your own creativity, style, etc. into it, I wouldn't worry about references. If anything, I would recommend you to use more references. It makes such a difference in your art. Don't worry about forcing yourself to draw without one; it will come with time. Hope this helped a bit !!
Rohab Khan referencing isnt cheating and tou should never stop referencing,all the greatest artists used hundreds of references for each of their paintings.
Last month i made my first realistic one but i lost my sketch pad before i could show my parents. i am currently working on a new skill now, aka drawing anime but im glad to hear ur parents were proud
Night vale always gets me in to doing art. From the combination of dark, weirder humor, to Cecil's voice, it so fun. It kinda long though, nearing on 112 episode, I think. Each is about 25 minutes long. You should definitely check it out.
The Adventure Zone is a p good podcast,, it's a bunch of brothers and their dad playing D&D, its really gripping and there's around 70 episodes by now, I really enjoy it so I'm hoping you will!!
@@everetti8943 you put in an almost comedic meme format, but made it out to be a sincere statement. The result is a cringe meme or a serious statement hard to take seriously.
You're positivity and compassion for others and yourself wowed me. Wherever you are, I wish you a life plentiful of prosperity and happiness. Peace and love, bud.
Number 3 is hard to avoid when your 14 so many tell me my art is good but when i show people a random unknown artist's art vs. my art they will always choose the other artist, ive tried so hard to find a style or a way to draw that i can be proud of but its honestly so hard, everyone picks realism over cartoony and pick things made with water colors or copics over sharpies *sigh* i come from a very poor family so i cant get the best supplies but its just so hard not to compare my art with others so much that i stop drawing for months because of how discouraged i get. Is there anyway to help it? I always try to love my art but theres nothing about it that i can like especially when my mom and sister are both amazing artists. I want to make them proud but its so hard to get out of the habbit of compairing my art with theirs and others any way to help?
Fabled Wolf Jack Instead of drawing for others and stressing etc. Just draw for yourself and enjoy it, I used to always draw for others and I used to think they are better than me >.< but I started drawing everyday and I got better and better. If you still think your drawings are bad just maybe take a break from art and try again later. Usually after you have a break you will realise how good your drawings are
Hey, I'm a senior in high school and dealt with a lot of self doubt and laziness over the years. Now I have to work my ass off to improve as much as possible in my last year so I can get into art school prepared. It's even harder now too because I have as much stress as before, plus that with the new work I have to do and being depressed over lost time. Don't waste your time like I did.
Fabled Wolf Jack y'know the only thing you can really do is make more art. Bad art, good art, strange art, weird art, swirly art, any art. You can't change people's opinions and you can make art with anything. As long as you make art and practice, you'll improve. Now go make some art fren
Really, just think about the future. Not in a discouraging way or anything of the sort, but 14 is young. Of course some other artist are gonna be 'better' than you at that age. Even if they're younger. What other people say are their own opinion, and honestly, some people probably thought Picasso sucked when he was 14. So, that's something to think about. Art is art no matter. But you won't improve over night. It DOES take consistensy. Also, just a tip. Don't look at other artist as competition. Look at them as opportunities to learn. It helps LOTS
Fabled Wolf Jack Hey man, don't worry about the media of your work, one of my favorite artists uses ONLY bic pens. You can make cool stuff with any tool if you practice enough- I can't stress that enough, PRACTICE. I was not a great artist two years ago when I was 14, nor did I practice enough. Honestly, looking and comparing my work to better artist MADE me better. It's okay to compare if it motivates you instead of making you give up. And people only pick realism over cartoon because they think it's harder or more prestigious, when in reality they can both equally be as difficult. Cartoon begs for creativity which is just as difficult as doing a traditional pencil portrait. Do you, and practice it.
Mj Oooh, I quite enjoy that podcast as well. And I'm deathly afraid of crime, forensics, and things like that, but they are very funny and entertaining to listen to. And Steven has his own Podcast called the Purrcast, if crime isn't your cup of tea.
I have some pretty annoying attention issues (investigating the possibility of ADHD) combined with tinnitus, so I NEED background noise to get anything done. However, in order to get anything done, I need to be able to tune out my background noise, so new episodes of podcasts, music and plot-heavy shows don't work for me. So, when I need to do something, I put on reruns of shows I've seen a million times. Since I already know what happens (probably know the episode word for word tbh) I don't get distracted by paying attention to the show, but I also am not being driven crazy by the ringing in my ears. And since I have some attention issues, it's actually detrimental to my productivity if I have no distractions at all (decipher that catch-22, lol) so something moving on a screen that I can flick my eyes away to for a second makes me feel much more comfortable. In the end, I barely ever get distracted by my shows! Just goes to show, habits like these are all very subjective!
WELCOME TO NIGHT VALE IS A REALLY GOOD PODCAST. ITS THIS GUY AND HES A RADIO PERSONALITY, he spreads news of the things that are going on in the town of night vale. but night vale is freaking INSANE!!! and theres like "the faceless women who's always in your peripheral vision is now running for mayor. The sixth headed dragon is also running for mayor. and on to this weeks calendar: inter spacial alien bees are going to be preparing us for brainwashing, so movie night will be canceled". ITS SO GOOD AND THE GUY WHO SPEEKS IS GAY AND HIS BOYFRIEND STUFFS IS GREAT
Cecil is a God and we shall All Hail the Mighty Glow Cloud. I have a professor that often sounds EXACTLY like Carlos and every time I hear him sound like that I have to look up to see if he's suddenly turned into a cute gay scientist. But no, sadly he's still a crazy Design History professor.
I haven’t been doing much art lately because I’ve been discouraged with my skills and lacked motivation. I def am struggling with some of these bad habits - I’m comparing myself to others & am unwilling to face my insecurities about my art and truly try to improve. Thank you for helping me realize this.
*(un)Fun fact:* when dave mustaine was fired for alcohol and drug use, he fell into a pit of despair being more of an alcoholic and a cokehead. He'd also perform drunk.
The fear of failure has been keeping me back ever since I felt like I "failed" majorly..it's been so hard to slowly work up some confidence but everyone I've opened up to - just like random art people at conventions all just say to do it, there's nothing to lose but everything to gain. I'm slowly getting there, it's always helpful to hear. I needed this, thank you.
Brienna Shrawder I also find some of Rick Riordan's other books good like heroes of Olympus or Magnus Chase. They have a bit more diversity in the characters and I feel that the development of their personalities and backstory is a bit better.
Ur painting is amazing. I have trouble with painting but I'm a lot better in things like drawing and colouring (with colouring pencils or oil pastels). Erm I need help with painting ;-;
jamie yeah, there was indeed a feminist side on Hermione, but by activist I mean se fought for everyone's right in an equal way. Magical creatures, women, etc, for the things that were fair and right, like when Umbridge took Hogwarts and she organized Dumbledore's Army to learn proper DADA
I’m glad I stumbled upon your channel today because I just started to draw and paint again, I haven’t done it in about three years since I had my daughter, so this is very good for me and it makes me feel good about what my next step is. Thank you honestly ❤️
one thing i do if i ever have something on screen while im doing art is to just put something ive already seen a million times but i dont mind watching it a few seconds while im working. that way i dont mind if i miss out on anything while im working. or listening to something like music or podcasts, or youtube videos that dont require looking but just listening.
Simon vs. the Homosapians Agenda, Leah on the Off Beat, and the Upside of Unrequited. In that order. These are books by Becky Albertali that are all tied together and they are so good. I listened to Leah on The Off Beat in one day I loved it so much.
Raging Artist I have! I've listened to a few of them and I liked them a lot. Another great podcast is The Bright Sessions which I would definitely recommend
honestly i just wanted to come back and say thank you thank you thank you for reccomending podcasts and serial. I have found something I truly enjoy from you and you're a big inspiration for me
@@RobinSealark yea I won't lie for a while I forgot about your channel but rae mentioned you in a video and I just had to come and binge a few of your vids haha hope you're keeping well
Fun fact: my drawings are mostly fantasy, and the music I'm listening to often influences the artwork's mood. This is why I know the perfect songs to match my art.
Number 5 just hit me in the face a couple weeks ago. You were spot on! Also, serious bad habit of mine... I forget to make a light source. Sometimes I end up spacing out and then I end up shading for like 3 different light sources and by the time I notice I'm screwwwwwwwwweeeeeeeddddddd.
The Mortal Instruments series is an amazing series. It's now grow into its own universe called the Shadowhunter Chronicles with several series in it. I also recommend anything that Brandon Mull has written. His books are very good. I recommend his Fablehaven series first. Another good series is The Keepers of The Lost Cities. I also recommend the Inheritance Cycle books and I still know a lot more series I could recommend.
Hello! I watch your videos about month now and i'm already better in art! I'm from Lithuania. I enjoy your videos. Of course, i subscribed ;) I LOVE YOU!!!!!!! Your videos makes me inspired. Keep going, I see a absolutely AMAZING artist in you as you are now ;) Loyal subscriber. Love you
I watch movies and draw , what usually happens is I forget I have the movie on and I just draw. Hearing talking and Music that’s coming from the movie helps me focus on my art as it puts me in a position where i feel most comfortable (instead of silence)
I know what you mean. I listened to so many movies while im drawing or painting. It's therapeutic.
Not alone buddy
Same I can't draw without atleast music going on
Good way to check things off the "things people recommend me to watch" list
Me too when its silent i cant focus to what i draw sometimes i get the things or persons i draw from movies
For those who don't want to watch the whole video. Here is the list:
1) Focus Focus and Focus don't do anything else
2)Don't comparing yourself to others
3)Don't give up
4)Don't discourage others
5)Don't wait for 'that' moment

This is broken down further into pencil, charcoal and pen & ink. Then colored pencils. Then I keep 2 large folders. 1 for living things like people and animals and another for inanimate objects. Most importantly is a list of each thing i want to correct/improve on each of these pictures. Depending on that day's lighting and my personal mood, I can apply myself to anyone of these because SOMETHING is bound to mesh with the lighting, mood style or lack of inspiration I feel that day. That's how I don't give up. If I can't do color that day, i'll do black n white. If my portraits suck atm, then i'll do a landscape. Other times, I want to organize what needs improvement so I use printer paper and do things like practicing how to draw noses, animal fur, tree textures, etc. So if you're told 'don't give up' I hope maybe even 1 of my suggestions helps a fellow artist.

I used to draw ALL the time last year.
Then i became very self conscious and i hated my art. For 7 months i stopped drawing and said i "was bad at it" even though i wasn't. I was also moving across seas and i didn't have enough time to draw. A few weeks ago a kid told me at school "Why do you say you can't draw, but you want to be an animator when you grow up? It makes no sense" and i hate this kid but he pretty much helped me get back into art.I thought about what he said and i noticed that i can't give up. So i started to draw again and i am SO happy that i did
So if you feel discouraged at all, just don't give up. Keep on trying

I don’t recommend posting art on social media if your just starting to draw 😓I nearly stopped drawing
i think it really depends. i personally think it's a good way to track your development and gain constructive criticism which you can apply to your work. but it can also be a bad thing if people are just commenting harsh things, that can really make you feel unmotivated and terrible about your art.

Sir Egglord Amino is a relatively safe place at least from my experience. I’ve been on there for over a year now and I’ve never had anyone say something negative towards me. All I’ve had is people complimenting my art and encouraging me to improve.

First tip: don’t watch TV while making art
Literally everyone watching this video: sweats nervously*
I was making a sketch while watching this video and I think it makes sense pay attention to one subject and never watch tv or watch anything because I easily lose my attention
I am on toilet shitting though. Just sayin
Oddly enough when you said waiting is a bad habit the video stopped loading I first thought it was an intentional pause - it wasn't

Megadeth is cool. I read Dave's autobiography and it's really a funny read. But while he had that inferiority complex in the background he really made some unforgettable music and worked with a couple of the best metal players on earth.

I didn’t even realize that you were painting flame princess until you said that you were but I lovee the interpretation that you did 👏🏽😁
I mean I compare myself to others but I say “I will be better than my idol one day” is that a healthy attitude?
Cysco p I would say so. You’re working to improve. As long as you’re trying to improve there is no wrong! ^-^ of course I’m no people expert :P
I've run in some pretty heavy circles of artists and despite all the love and respect we have for each other, there is a healthy amount of competition between all of us. We're always trying g to make something cooler than the next, but we'll always be there to tell them how we did it, share tip and tricks, be supportive, and try to lift each other up. Being competitive and using that to fuel you is not a bad thing. There will be times doing something out of spite or to prove someone wrong will show you how much you're capable of and afterwards probably be grateful for how they pushed you even if the person was being an a$$.
That’s dumb. Why is learning more than you knew before not your reward? It’s not a competition with anyone.
I wouldn't put it like that. I'd go with "I'll try doing whatever my idol does so my practice can go somewhere" or something similar to it. Art isn't a competition! (except for when it is)
No
Go into a musical. When you listen to one musical, you get sucked in. I recommend:
The Phantom Of The Opera
The Book Of Mormon
Wicked
Hamilton (I will shoot any annoying fangirls in this thread)
21 Chump Street
The Comet of 1812
Phantom Of The Opera(the story is so fierce, it may stir up some
drawing ideas inside)
Heathers
In The Heights
Others are saying:
Be More Chill (Never heard it yet)
My favorite musical is Dear Evan Hansen but it's mostly dialogue so you'd need to open up a Wikipedia page along with a website of the lyrics to get understand it.
Also, for motivation, listen to Wait For It (hamilton soundtrack ) and Heart Of Courage by Two Steps From Hell.
Listen to ANYTHING by Two Steps From Hell, actually. It's one of those things that each song makes you feel a different way. It paints a picture in your mind and that's good for painting. Same Linsy Striling.
Other recommendations include:
Owl City
Christina Perri
SARA BARELLIES (Used To Be Mine is my favorite song ever)
Kelly Clarkson (People Like Us is my favorite from her)
Sia
Coldplay
Paramore
Echosmith
Imagine Dragons
The Script (also great motivation)
Bon Jovi
Panic! At the disco (I will shoot any annoying fangirls)
Beyonce
American Authors
Sleeping at Last is hella relaxing and deep
P!nk
Ellie Golding
Songs:
Something like This (Coldplay+Chainsmokers)
Airplanes (B.o.B)
Coming Home (Second one I think)
Home (Phillip something)
Living on a prayer- Bon Jovi
Kk long list. Many options. have fun
The Unwanteds is a *GREAT* book series for creative people. ITS AMAZING. TRUST ME
in the heights is also a great musical
Kandy I used to love owl city, his music is so relaxing
Doddle and Doodle Ahh yes. great song
I recommend Sleeping at last! His music is quite relaxing and due to interesting qualities it gives me much inspiration! And I focus much more then I would without. You can get lost in much of his music

Yeah... But writers dont are. They are heartless and kill everybody that you loved ;-;
All these habits I usually do. Comparing my art to older people is a bad habit. I enjoy seeing peoples reactions to my work, and I always try to help people improve...but then I see peoples work in High School and Im only in 8th grade. I thought of what I can do to imrpove and overall pass them, but I always get jealous of those who are better than me...mostly people who I know and are close to...

I have the dilemma to never finish my art🤦🏽♂️ like I start with something thinking it will be amazing and then suddenly next day I start something new and forget the previous thing...😔 any tips or something that can help?
look back through your sketchbook and look for the ones you haven’t finished, and finish them
Take a drink every time you start a new one.
I have this problem. If it's become a habit to start but not finish, then every time you do it, you reinforce it and become more discouraged. Here's an idea: maybe try an art style that allows you to finish a piece really quickly, and do that for a while, to break the pattern and give you the satisfaction of having finished pieces. I'm having a lot of fun with Bob Ross tutorials just now, getting a whole oil painting finished in one sitting, 3 to 4 hours, it's incredibly satisfying and is helping to break a LONG streak of not finishing things. You could do something like that, or maybe really small pictures, simplified pictures, something like that.
@@PartanBree ok boomer
@@JV-zk9jk This is when the use of that meme makes no sense to me
I'm only eleven going on twelve and I'd love to get into a bigger group of artists but I am in a small place and I'm very worried about being called too young
Lauregui 109 maybe you could join an art group on the internet and not say your age? Or maybe just join an art group for your people your age.
Lauregui 109 Simple, don't let people know your age. Then snicker at how high they think it is.
Yeah I feel you. I'm 10. I want to find more artists like me! So, hi
Lauregui 109
12 here too, trust me people won't say your too young for me most people are impressed
Sarahcutieartist thank god we are not the only young artists, i'm only 11 but i really enjoy drawing and LITERALLY all of my friends say i'm "too young"
hii i would love for you to talk about "cheating" in art, stuff like tracing, heavily using references, ive always worried i would never improve my skills if i rely on references too much. love your art btw :)
I often use trace poses I like in ny sketch and then draw over it with tge character I'm drawing... I've been studying proportions and other things at the same time, so for me it is helping, however I also feel at a disadvantage whenever I don't have a reference. I know I'm going to have to start dropping my reference tracing, but only when I feel a little more confident. I would suggest that you find a good balance between tracing and freehanding it.
thanks for the responses ! Yeah I see how it's only a matter of time till I let go references, I only do art as a hobby and I'm just waiting till I get my style. I always find it interesting listening to what people believe "cheating" is in art
No no referencing is great!! It's how you learn. Eventually you'll be able to easily draw what you used to need to trace, and then you can put your own spin on it and everything just goes from there. Art is a spiraling subject, so everything you learn only builds on itself. The only "cheating" in art is when you copy or trace something that's not yours and claim that it is
Not a professional artist or anything, but here's a bit of advice from what I've picked up over the years, whether through tutorials on deviantArt/TH-cam or just from personal experience!
Tracing:
Good type of tracing: I use this often to kind of learn the anatomy of different things. For example, I had to draw a manatee once for my club t-shirt. Instead of just going off of reference photos, I decided to take several reference pictures into Photoshop. Then, I traced over the head and body, simplifying them into shapes. From there, I was able to draw my own manatee in its own pose since I knew roughly what its anatomy was like.
Bad type of tracing: Tracing over someone else's drawing and changing colors, clothing, hair, etc. just to make it "yours." This doesn't help you to improve at all-you're only copying the lines and not learning the structure of the drawing underneath.
Heavily using references: Don't be afraid to use references! Artists are HUGE on references-you can't trust your own brain to know everything. Use them for poses, how clothing works (folds and such), hair, etc. The only time I would consider it bad is if you took someone else's drawing as a "reference," and just ended up copying everything just with different color schemes or clothing.
Here's one of my favorite tutorials on references! slimeattackk.deviantart.com/art/Tutorial-14-Photoref-to-make-the-difference-286581045
As long as you are adding your own creativity, style, etc. into it, I wouldn't worry about references. If anything, I would recommend you to use more references. It makes such a difference in your art. Don't worry about forcing yourself to draw without one; it will come with time. Hope this helped a bit !!
Rohab Khan referencing isnt cheating and tou should never stop referencing,all the greatest artists used hundreds of references for each of their paintings.

Number 3 is hard to avoid when your 14 so many tell me my art is good but when i show people a random unknown artist's art vs. my art they will always choose the other artist, ive tried so hard to find a style or a way to draw that i can be proud of but its honestly so hard, everyone picks realism over cartoony and pick things made with water colors or copics over sharpies *sigh* i come from a very poor family so i cant get the best supplies but its just so hard not to compare my art with others so much that i stop drawing for months because of how discouraged i get. Is there anyway to help it? I always try to love my art but theres nothing about it that i can like especially when my mom and sister are both amazing artists. I want to make them proud but its so hard to get out of the habbit of compairing my art with theirs and others any way to help?
Fabled Wolf Jack Instead of drawing for others and stressing etc. Just draw for yourself and enjoy it, I used to always draw for others and I used to think they are better than me >.< but I started drawing everyday and I got better and better. If you still think your drawings are bad just maybe take a break from art and try again later. Usually after you have a break you will realise how good your drawings are
Hey, I'm a senior in high school and dealt with a lot of self doubt and laziness over the years. Now I have to work my ass off to improve as much as possible in my last year so I can get into art school prepared. It's even harder now too because I have as much stress as before, plus that with the new work I have to do and being depressed over lost time.
Don't waste your time like I did.
Fabled Wolf Jack y'know the only thing you can really do is make more art. Bad art, good art, strange art, weird art, swirly art, any art. You can't change people's opinions and you can make art with anything. As long as you make art and practice, you'll improve. Now go make some art fren
Really, just think about the future. Not in a discouraging way or anything of the sort, but 14 is young. Of course some other artist are gonna be 'better' than you at that age. Even if they're younger. What other people say are their own opinion, and honestly, some people probably thought Picasso sucked when he was 14. So, that's something to think about. Art is art no matter. But you won't improve over night. It DOES take consistensy. Also, just a tip. Don't look at other artist as competition. Look at them as opportunities to learn. It helps LOTS
Fabled Wolf Jack Hey man, don't worry about the media of your work, one of my favorite artists uses ONLY bic pens. You can make cool stuff with any tool if you practice enough- I can't stress that enough, PRACTICE. I was not a great artist two years ago when I was 14, nor did I practice enough. Honestly, looking and comparing my work to better artist MADE me better. It's okay to compare if it motivates you instead of making you give up. And people only pick realism over cartoon because they think it's harder or more prestigious, when in reality they can both equally be as difficult. Cartoon begs for creativity which is just as difficult as doing a traditional pencil portrait. Do you, and practice it.
I would recommend My Favorite Murder. It sounds weird but if you're interested in true murder cases it's by far my favorite.

Night Vale is a great podcast for drawing and I advise for a audio book you should try stargirl or fable haven (my favorite book ever).
I have some pretty annoying attention issues (investigating the possibility of ADHD) combined with tinnitus, so I NEED background noise to get anything done. However, in order to get anything done, I need to be able to tune out my background noise, so new episodes of podcasts, music and plot-heavy shows don't work for me. So, when I need to do something, I put on reruns of shows I've seen a million times. Since I already know what happens (probably know the episode word for word tbh) I don't get distracted by paying attention to the show, but I also am not being driven crazy by the ringing in my ears. And since I have some attention issues, it's actually detrimental to my productivity if I have no distractions at all (decipher that catch-22, lol) so something moving on a screen that I can flick my eyes away to for a second makes me feel much more comfortable. In the end, I barely ever get distracted by my shows!
Just goes to show, habits like these are all very subjective!

The black tapes podcast. Its realy engaging and creepy in the good way
I recently listened to them all and loved them. You should listen to Rabbits too.
I never watch tv shows but I do listen to podcasts or I watch true crime videos and this way i go with drawing for about 5-6 hours with no break .
one thing i do if i ever have something on screen while im doing art is to just put something ive already seen a million times but i dont mind watching it a few seconds while im working. that way i dont mind if i miss out on anything while im working. or listening to something like music or podcasts, or youtube videos that dont require looking but just listening.
Simon vs. the Homosapians Agenda, Leah on the Off Beat, and the Upside of Unrequited. In that order. These are books by Becky Albertali that are all tied together and they are so good. I listened to Leah on The Off Beat in one day I loved it so much.

I also recommend anything that Brandon Mull has written. His books are very good. I recommend his Fablehaven series first. Another good series is The Keepers of The Lost Cities. I also recommend the Inheritance Cycle books and I still know a lot more series I could recommend.
