"Fail faster" has been the best advice anyone has ever given me.
Awesome advice, now Im older And finaly understod
I almost feel like I know you, Almond.
I almost feel like I know you, Imed.
I feel that in general, people crave forming connections, whether it's through watching your favorite TH-camr or chatting with people you've never met in discord. We all just want to find others to relate to, and it's refreshing to find so many outlets for that in our current setting.
Yeah
Thanks for the video Med, I drew through the whole thing. I especially liked hearing about your joyful venturing in Yharnam.
BLOODSTARVED BEAST IS NOW SLAIN. And yes - thanks for watching
Perfectionism is why I decided making the things that I do that aren't perfect visible ... putting up my work for anybody to stumble across is a really good therapy for getting me out of my own way. Good chat Ahmed!
Gosh, hearing this uncut video of you drawing and talking with pauses without trying soo hard to be funny or something is so great, especially with the noises outside. Im trying to stay awake to change my schedule but this isnt helping xD
I think this is my favourite sketchbook dive. I will watch it over and over again. Definitely buying the Art & Fear book, too! I relate to you a lot so I'm so glad you are making videos that can accompany me sketching. Sending love!
I like these videos where you just talk about stuff
I'm really enjoying these videos, I find them to be great for drawing along with, and full of good advice. Also, congrats on beating Gascoigne!! I knew you could do it. BSB was really tough for me too, but trust me, you don't need the cocktails or even any buffs to beat her. My main advice for the fight would be to stay very aggressive (notice a pattern here? lol) and stay on her right (the left of her from your pov). Try to sidestep attacks when you can rather than fully dodging, so that you can charge up an r2 on her butt and get a visceral attack. There are a lot of chances to do this in the fight if you position yourself well. Good luck :D
Heck yeah! Just beat her a few hours ago, didn’t use pungies and just did the same thing that you described here. Cheers!
@@AhmedAldoori nice!! Congrats!
This video could not have come at a better time for me - I'm overrun with class assignments, I have little to no inspiration and nothing I draw is working. However I am comparing myself to people who have been professional artists for 10+ years and I keep forgetting that I am only just beginning my journey. My teachers aren't expecting perfect homework, so I don't know why I am wasting so much time restarting when all I can ever do is my best.
It seems that every time I watch one of your vídeos there is a phrase or a sentence that I need to hear
I remember the exact moment I went outside the other day in shorts only to see that it was snowing lmao. Ohio never fails to amaze me. Great video today man!
This video saved me. Thank you, Ahmed. Thank you.
Oh right that's an Interesting story, I also saw this video about how famous musicians? Like beethoven, Mozart we more prone to be successful because because of the large amount of work they produced, they gain more experience and has higher chances of producing a masterpiece.
Your golden egg analogy really helped me, man. That was exactly what I was needing to realize. Thank you! And I love the character 😍
I love these kind of videos, it’s so relaxing to listen to ur voice, while drawing and sometimes sneak peaking and getting inspired by what you drew during that time
Ahmed I’ve discovered you and I don’t regret it
im working on a drawing for my class and this is exactly what I needed to hear, I struggle with perfectionism badly and you are 100% right about it cuaseing the loss of motivation, I wasn't sure why I kept loosing it but this really brings it to light, so thank you, and thank you for the tips to help me fix it :)
I always find your talks over sketching so soothing and really gets me inspired. Great stuff as always man. Hope you're doing well!
Hey man! So good to hear from you, it’s been a while my dude. I’m doing great, I hope all is well for you too
keep them coming man..... you're the best!!
hello Ahmed, I am from Brazil and I have been following your videos and absorbed a lot with them. Thank you for continuing to bring a content of debates of fundamental ideas that few out there speak
Woke up in the middle of the night, watched this, and at the end of it I wasn’t sure whether or not if was for the art or the conversation ! I enjoyed both as it happens.
I would absolutely love to see your art in a videogame, particularly a souls-like!!
In 2012 we went on a family trip and we had these sunglasses that had a small camera built in the frame. They could film like 2h? of footage maybe? Don't remember. And don't remember what the quality was as I only viewed the footage one time after the trip and never again, and the camera sunglasses were lost after that :O But that was 9 years ago so there should be something even better out there for sale (I'd be surprised if not)
Youre spoiling us with these sketchbook dives man.
Fantastic, love sketchbook stuff!
This reminded me so much of Perfect Blue
the session I needed to study anatomy. great talk, my dude
I've no idea who you "really" are but i would give you an hug no matter what for all the stuff i learnt from you ♥
Thank you...
You are a great healer, and a great person as well...
Love drawing while watching this.
Surely I'm not the only one, but I struggle with the word "hobby". I don't want to be a working artist, but still be proficient in my "hobby", so I study/practice which isn't always "fun" like a hobby is supposed to be (assuming that all hobbyists just want to have fun and enjoy themselves without much challenge). It's just something that I really enjoy doing, so naturally I want to be good at it. At the same time, I have trouble accepting art as just something I do for fun, EVEN THOUGH that's exactly the reason I draw. It feels like a paradox I can't get out of and it's really confusing me on this journey.
My biggest goal right now is staying consistent without hating myself/making myself suffer. I want to draw because I love it and to improve, even if the two seem mutually exclusive sometimes. The way I think about it now as opposed to few years ago is staying patient, taking a breath instead of imagining this "finish line/end goal" that doesn't exist. It also lets me take off that self-inflicted pressure to post everything I draw, and just draw.
To put it in some context, I never cared about "sucking at my dayjob" because it's not something I enjoyed. I don't believe I was ever "terrible", but I definitely didn't care and that showed some days more than others. Those jobs were not "fulfilling", just monkey work - and please don't take this the wrong way, I respect all of us "average" human beings that puts up with those shitty jobs so we can do something we love one day. I guess overall that still makes me selfish and irresponsible at best, but I'm not perfect and just want to be happy in life.
I come back to sit and draw for this hour, it helps to hear what I know said out loud by another.
Listening on a 5.1 audio system I thought the birds were actually behind me outside lol. Great video, thank you for the insight! I certainly needed that.
Didnt know I needed this. Thanks Med. Ramadan Kareem.
we're getting spoiled with all this youtube content! Great work :) and great video
I really like the vibes of this kind of videos :)
I love this guy
This is so mind blowing! Ur skill is same as kim jung gi! 😊
Love it. Please post more Pencil drawing vídeos :) in this playlist :)
Anyone else half way through that book for the third time? Very noice video.
Edit: Jesus, THOSE birds want to burn people. Dead CUTE anger singing in the background. Brutal.
i love this
Thank you!
Art & Fear is a great book and should be mandatory reading for all artists.
I'm doing poses with the Aldori method its been really helpful so far but I have trouble putting on the skin and clothing
Sheeeesh

Hey Med, have you ever tried reading a novel and doing a sketch (specifically a sketch and not a finnished drawing/painting) for each chapter?
God, that golden egg analogy... it seems I have to think about your videos for days afterwards. Also this character is rly hot. 🙈
so good
recently I've left somewhat of a negative comment under ur video, but I have to say these low key vids with slower pace and it being just us two drawing along are my personal favorite content that you make so thanks for those, stay poggers
that Sinix impression
I almost feel like i know you, Almerald
ART
Could you make a video about how to use reference or tips on how not to use imagination rather than reference.
You're perfect enough to admit your imperfections :)
"That's the Proko's scull by the way"-OH NO, HE KILLED PROKO
Oh shi-
oh hell ya
Everyone thinks they're safe with a high lv in bloodborne until you run into the bloodlickers in cainhurst 😂 it's just not right
can i request you try traditional paint like acrylic or goauche ahmed? wanna see your painting procress in an actual paint. if you dont mind
Lol same thing happened to me with Djura. But I wasn't trying to kill him, just trying to gauge how difficult he was. I had him at low health and I was just dodging n messin around. Then he went and fell of the edge :(((
Rip Djura
fuck yeah Dr K
> I’m not a perfect person
WHAT?!
Dude...man...I like, totally get the humanizing people and not seeing them as transcending divinities part. However, I still struggle with seeing Steven Zapata as anything other than the reincarnation of the primordial Mind, since that's what he really is. Any advice on that?
Oh yeah uh with that one we let it slide
i idolize people's work, it makes me strive to be better but i dont idolize them. a lot of people are learning not to idolize popular creators only because theyre catching allegations and they realize not only can they be flawed, they can be horribly immoral people
Ohio climate is just French climate then haha
I gotta ask how you come up with so many topics to talk about even though you're by yourself
Loved the subject in the video. Your visions of the industry and art itself had been very enlightening. I am curious to see what would you say in depth about this NFT stuff. I've seen people going all crazy to artists, ready to point finger and judge and, with all honesty, we are nobody to persecute and crucify other people's actions. Once again, thanks Ahmed!
shhhhh I'm trying to hear the birds
very pagman
The intro doesn't say "I like drawing" anymore :
37:41 i am as a crypto person and art person beginning to get really annoyed when every art video is starting to be about nfts.
again i will say it again
beeple is an incredible person. i love beeple. if any artist makes a video about nft and wants to say anything about art, i want to hear beeple mentioned at least. he is one of my favs out there, and yes I guess thats dehumanizing him am i right?
still havent finished the video, but i wont respond after this anyway
I’m quite confused - I haven’t shared any opinions on the actual thing, just the people and how bloody things seem to be getting. I also think beeple is cool, not sure what you’re implying
@@AhmedAldoori I am not implying anything about this video, just about nft topic in general.
I think its important to talk about beeple if the topic is about nfts. His artwork is what caused the outrage, everyone references it. But no one realizes he is the man behind daily digital art. Without that context, the nft will continue to be about the outrage over the 69 million dollar price tag.
I do think its an overdone topic though, and uninformed on the part of many artists who talk about it.
I think Id also like to add that even the buyer isnt just some random artless rich person but an early adopter of crypto and someone who believes in decentralization. He had very little when he first started with crypto but got money because of it, and also wanted nft art to be a thing, since it will change the world.
I know your video doesnt go over this and doesnt really cover nfts, but I do kind of think its a responsibility of artists to mention beeple at least. I listen to him on maciej kuciaras podcast and I do think you mentioned the daily art thing before in a video years ago.
...did you just dedicate 10 minutes of your video to explaining why we're not friends? I get it... geeze.😒
It had to be done
I love you man if i would be a woman id marry you right away maybe even without being one?
