There’s one piece of advise that works for anything, and that’s, “if you have an idea that you genuinely think is good, don’t let some idiot talk you out of it” -Stan lee
Tbh there’s always someone talking me out of my ideas, and it turns out the idea I had would have benefited me, and the person is always like “The idea was stupid, you only think it would be. A benefit because you don’t listen to the advice of others”, and they go on about how selfish and self centered I am, like bruv how is liking the idea I made be self centered 😐👀
the most important thing i had to realize was that “someone is always better than you, and someone is always worse” and it works for everything in life and it honestly lifted this huge weight off my shoulders
1. "Your art is only as good as the weakest part of it" 2. "You should always explore your ideas before you settle on one." 3. "Use the things that you're good at or passionate about and use those skills to boost the parts that are difficult for you." 4. "Have at least one secret sketchbook that you genuinely never plan to show to anyone else." 5. "Set aside time to stop drawing and to experience the work of other people." ..I'm really surprised that some people don't have secret sketchbooks!
I think most people that don't have secret sketchbooks are the ones that have controlling parents, so this doesn't even pass in your mind as a possibility and can be quite stressful so many give up on the idea
All of my sketchbooks are private 100% from my family unless I show them a few specific drawings, and the other half I like to post on Instagram because I want to
me: **draws** my mom: watcha drawing? me: oh you can't see this one my mom: why not? me: Oh haven't you heard? me: Not showing you my art is crucial to my improvement as an artist.
@@ankleina It might help you get more comfortable to draw fanart for female characters you like. Nothing wrong with drawing boobs! About half the world's got them. :D
Here's my bit of character design advice. Don't be afraid to make your characters look ugly outlandish or weird it'll because guess what not everyone looks like that perfect tictok e-girl we all have things we hate about ourselves and it grounds your character in a weird way
Yup! I actually need to keep this in mind with one of my OC's, she didn't live the best life and has been roughed up over the years, her clothes shouldn't be trendy or look new, could've messed up on that!
“Have a secret sketch book” Me: Ha. That’s all my sketch books. The only time you see my art is either when you walk in on me drawing or ask to see it ;-;
@Ace Clairvon-Cryoflor i agree, and there was that one guy that took my art and so in return i punched his face and after that people didnt want to take my shit
Not necessarily, for example, in music this concept doesn't hold up well, you can have a song with a weak song form and weak melody and harmony, but if the groove is strong enough it will salvage the whole song, the same is probably true for art too, if the overall structure is strong the details don't matter as much.
I love how much lavendertowne has improved, the shading and lineart looks really nice and soft, and her style has grown in really nice ways. I’m not saying her older art was bad or anything, I just feel like she’s improved a lot, which is great!
Actually now that i think about it, it's the blush, my brain gets confused about what is blush and what is shading i think she overdoes blush a lot sometimes
I have so many that some are even "discontinued" as in they basically don't exist anymore ..Tho, maybe I could get around to doing a redraw for nostalgia's sake...
the last time i counted the number of OCs, I had over 300 (that was about 2/3 years ago, i gave up counting since then) But I don't see having tons of OCs as a bad thing, you can see your character creation improving throughout the years (but yeah, I don't even remember some characters so it might be kind of a waste sometimes)
I think not being afraid to embrace even the weirdest and most incoherent ideas and fleshing them out. It has really helped me out. Also, if you want to draw sometimes it is good to take inspiration from emotions or things that would feel familiar on a wide scale. It ends up connecting with a wider variety of audiences especially if it the piece is a little more left to interpretation. Just thought I might share some things that help me create.
Yesssss love that It applies to a lot of things Sure, starting out your idea might be stupid but if you don’t toss it out as not good enough, and you give it a chance, it could become something really unique and amazing and something rarely seen!
i really needed the “take time to inspire yourself” i just realized that for the past few days i’ve been pressing myself to draw more but haven’t really done much else
Summary: 1) Your work is as good as the weakest part 2) Explore your ideas before you commit 3) Use your favorites to boost your weaknesses 4) Keep some art completely to yourself 5) Make time for the stuff that really inspires you I really love your videos and I have been improving for the past several years with this channel's help Looking forward for more ( / • w •)/ 💕
LavenderTowne: people will usually see the mistakes first People to my art: Omg, I love it, it’s perfect Me: *intensely stares at one line that’s a fraction of a centimeter off* Me: this is garbage Edit: damn that’s a lot of likes, thanks! And uhh, sorry if I caused any fights in the replies...
0:20 Your work is as good as the weakest part 2:20 Explore your ideas before you commit 4:40 Use your favorites to boost your weaknesses 6:50 Keep some art completely to yourself 9:29 Make time for the stuff that really inspires you
Heres a tip: Listen to lavander towne while doing your school work because her voice is soothing and calming that helps me concentrate and make it less boring :3
7:16 “Keep a secret sketchbook that’s just for yourself so you can practice without worrying about other’s opinions” Nosy strict parents: *Imma pretend I didn’t see that.*
That one about keeping some art to yourself really hit the most, I always look at art I make like "what will people think of this? what will people think of ME? will this get any heart reactions? is this "cringe"?" and very often I always plan to scan and show my art to at least my friends. So, thanks for reminding me that I do have that option of freedom if I want.
This is what I do Whenever I cant think of anything to draw: Think of a Character Think about their story Draw the character with their friend or enemy. Think about how they would react when they see each other or they were forced to hang out. Background: Weird shapes The end.
@@cheyennes4221 Well then think of uh, A Movie or a game then just choose a character from that game like SANB FROM TABLEUNDE or Mario from Earthbound But Idk lol
1. Your work is only as good as its weakest part 2. Explore the idea before you commit 3. Use your favourites to improve your weaknesses 4. Keep some art to yourself 5. Make time for stuff that really inspires you
Haven't watched her that long, but yes, there's some good improvement in her newer art compared to older. She's still young. I still remember the days before internet.
If I could tack on a piece of advice that I’ve been following myself recently: if you start to feel burnt out and have all these ideas, reduce your art to a rougher, faster version, like a rough sketch or very simple style. Make your art simple enough to show the ideas you want to get across, and then just move on to the next. Sometimes we overwhelm ourselves by needing to fully render a drawing, and burn ourselves out on an idea before we get there. If you feel comfortable to going further or rendering, do it once you have everything down, but give yourself some time between the sketching and the rendering.
My mom does the same thing. Hide at least one sketchbook. Make a reputation with them of drawing really conventional stuff, and never show them the dark twisted things you actually like to draw. At least that's what I do. That might not work for everybody.
I know this is a joke but genuinely think about what you love about drawing hair and clothes? Is it the colors? Is it the flowy lines? You try and personalise the clothes to a character right? Try and personalise the back rounds, draw them like you make an outfit, look at reference's, experiment with different ways to make a background. As for shading, Pick a color, try shading it. Pick out the things you don't like about it. Wright down your process. Find were do you think it went wrong, play with colors and layers. Look at other's art work and pick out things you like, try to figure out how they did it. Look at other references. Practice isn't going to help of you have no direction, But i hope this helps!
@@timlovesfrogs3771 I don't like drawing hair and clothes, it's just easier than drawing complex things like eyes. I can draw backgrounds sometimes, but I can't get it to look realistic because the character ends up looking huge compared to the trees and I can't draw perspective so it looks like a kid drew it. I can't shade because I don't know where the shading's supposed to go and how much.
Hands down the most important thing I learned in art school was how to thumbnail sketch. I am a lot like you in that I get inspired and just want to draw the 1st thing that pops into my brain, but thumbnails has made that process much cleaner for me.
oof once, ONCE i showed a drawing to my father and then he wanted me to show all of mah drawings to his friends when they come over.And i begged him not to but he didnt listen . He just snatched it off me, yelled a little and showed it to his buddies and even now they make jokes about me liking to draw and stuff. In school if someone sees me drawing they just HAVE to ask "where are the eyes??", "why wont you draw the legs", "why isn't she wearing clOthEs???" ;-;
As a person that would prefer sketching on printer paper, because I would like my sketchbook look like that calarts stuff, shoving stuff into folders sounds pretty great
a person, sorry I replied to the wrong person. (If you are wondering, someone said entrapta and hordak are together so I replied saying “REALLY?!-“ not realizing who I was replying to-)
9:46 THIS!!! This helped me so much! I've had the issue of wanting to draw but feeling completely burnt out, and I had no clue why. I wasn't drawing very often, how could I be burnt out already? That tip made me realize it was because I haven't picked up any new inspiration sources in months. Thank you so much!!
Doubt you'll read this, but I just wanted to thank you. Your "do this, not that" series inspired me to no end, so much so that I'm still drawing years later. So thanks for getting me into drawing in the first place, and for videos that always make me feel better for watching them. I'm glad you have such a platform and I hope you keep inspiring people for your job as long as you wish.
Oof-that “explore the ideas” thing doesn’t work for me. RIP to having a weirdly functioning brain. I can’t do thumbnails. They make no sense. I just look at poses and decide who to draw lol but I don’t wanna be professional so who cares? It’s a fun hobby.
As an experienced artist myself, you don’t have to explore ideas every single time you draw something. If you just want to work on a fun pose, don’t worry too much about thumbnails or planning. This advice is only for people approaching an ambitious project that requires a lot of thought or else it could be detrimental to you later on (e.g. a 10+ hour painting, a comic page, a commissioned illustration that needs certain details, etc.) But it’s also useful if you find yourself working on something for too long and it’s just not coming together; it means you didn’t fully explore more efficient ways of drawing the thing you’re currently working on. It’s a nice exercise to do if you find yourself getting stuck a lot or abandoning your drawings frequently.
CatCactus That is helpful to hear. I guess my way of planning things out is mostly just imagining different scenes and scripting stuff out if I want to potentially draw comics. I just don’t thumbnail individual drawings since I usually have a clear idea of what I want to do or have looked up reference pictures to get some ideas.
Having a secret sketch book honestly really helped me. I would end up skipping out on drawing something I wanted to draw because I was worried someone might see it and I was too scared of messing up that I just didn't draw it. It's honestly so freeing to have a sketch book I can put as much bad art and fan art into without it ever seeing the light of day again.
“Use your favorites to boost your weaknesses” is such a good piece of advice. I hated doing backgrounds when drawing my characters and so I decided to make creating believable spaces for my senior year of art my focus. It was a fun challenge because I used my two favorite characters to base the surroundings on (they’re the main characters of a graphic novel I’ve been working on) I did a total of 6 paintings/drawings and tackled a specific part of the background to just keep things fresh and with the last _complete_ drawing, I used all of the lessons I had learned from the previous pieces to create the one drawing I am most proud of. Looking back at the first and last “picture book” paintings (that’s what my teacher and I called the non-comic pages) makes me feel so good about what I achieved in just 7 months It also made me realize that I’m actually capable of doing things on my own and motivating myself. It also made me realize how much I love those two characters and pushed me even further to wrote their story
@@Mandy.8522 don't worry i have 3 layers for hair 7 for eyes (each eye) and more then 10 for cloths that's not even foe the background and random stuff or if theirs more then one charictar

Hey, you, random stranger. I don't know who you are, what you're going through, or what kind of day you're having. I don't even know your name. I don't know much about you at all, but what I do know is that you are absolutely amazing. You're doing great today. You don't need to be perfect, you're already doing your best. You're probably going through a lot right now, and that's understandable. The world is breaking, I know, but you can do this. You've been doing really well lately! You can make it, I promise. You're gonna be okay. Everything is gonna be okay. Take a deep breath, go make yourself a hot cup of coffee, or some hot chocolate, or maybe even some tea. Grab a book, or look something up to read. Give yourself a break, you deserve it. It doesn't make you selfish to have some alone time, if anything it makes you less selfish. Take care of yourself, because you matter. Everything is gonna be fine. Take a warm bath, read a book, make yourself a good meal, and remember that you matter. If you're an artist, your art is absolutely beautiful. Keep going! If you're a musician, you're music sounds amazing! If you're a writer, the things you write are absolutely wonderful! If you're an editor (pictures, videos, ect.), your edits are awesome! If you're any other kind of creator, your creations are great! If you do something outside of art, it's still amazing! You're doing great, I promise! Feel free to vent in the replies if need-be, I'll be here to listen!
For the, "make time for inspiration," I have a whole playlist of songs and MAPs that are inspiring so when I feel burnt out I can watch them. It honestly really works.
Over-working happens to me too. When I work on my art and stories too much, I end up procrastinating on the story or art that I was working on, and I sometimes stop working on it entirely, so what you said was helpful. Thank you, LavenderTowne!
2:49 - 4:28 i actually developed a habit from an early age of putting down all the thoughts in my head into papers whether they were weird/quirqy or if they were what i thought would be the best of my ideas. for me i improved in my artstyle (please keep in mind that i stated that this was for me at least) by always drawing all the time everyting around me and copying artyles to

Thanks for the video! You’re a very creative artist, who I really want to be as good as! I can’t wait to see more, it’s always fun watching your videos!!!
Best art advise I got is that you can't just sit there and complain that your bad at art without acting upon what you think your bad at and try to improve on it it's helped me lot with motivation and made me realize that hey... Instead of just saying bad which is incredibly vague and overly just a wrong form of self observation you should question yourself on what you think your bad at and improve upon those aspects. That's just helped me quite a bit because yeah at the end of the day it's helped my big time with working on my flaws and well I have expanded outwards in my art because of thinking instead of me just being bad I think what do I think I'm bad at what's the specific thing that I feel I'm weak at. Ik this was just me sharing what really made me pop off and love art I've been doing it seriously as a hobby ever since I understood that info hope it helps some who the whole I'm not good enough issue.
True. Whenever I make a drawing I'm not satisfied with there's always a chance that I'll end up remaking it until I think it's decent enough to show anyone
I'm glad that you're here to help everyone learn, I personally kinda suck (okay it never looks very good when I draw) and I wish I could be better, but I don't really know what to do. Sometimes however I come up with little concepts, and after this I kinda like... Doodled I guess? Idk what to call it, I started drawing with no real idea in mind and ended up coming up with some more story ideas, I just wish I could do art to make it better. I still thank you though, because you have helped quite a lot of people and you have also inspired me, even if I know my art will always fail, I know my imagination picks up where my drawing fails.
6:58 "most of us are young enough that we don't remember a time before the internet" Me: *remembers cassette tapes, mullets, disposable cameras, VHS's, The World of David the Gnome, Eureeka's Castle, and Seltzer. *cries in old man.
9:00 okay the best part about this one, I basically tought myself that I should always draw whatever I want, what makes me happy. no one's gonna see it, so it can be as good or bad as it wants, and if it comes out good enough to share online, then sweet! 👍
Luckily I don't find to many negative people, so either way I'm not too afraid of sharing something mediocre, cus I love sharing my progress, so one day people can see how far I've come :)

@@tbhtime haha yess
@@mobii_1 omg yes!
I think not being afraid to embrace even the weirdest and most incoherent ideas and fleshing them out. It has really helped me out. Also, if you want to draw sometimes it is good to take inspiration from emotions or things that would feel familiar on a wide scale. It ends up connecting with a wider variety of audiences especially if it the piece is a little more left to interpretation. Just thought I might share some things that help me create.
Yesssss love that
It applies to a lot of things
Sure, starting out your idea might be stupid but if you don’t toss it out as not good enough, and you give it a chance, it could become something really unique and amazing and something rarely seen!
i really needed the “take time to inspire yourself” i just realized that for the past few days i’ve been pressing myself to draw more but haven’t really done much else
Im the opposite, i have no inspo and i cant seem to doodle anything
Summary:
1) Your work is as good as the weakest part
2) Explore your ideas before you commit
3) Use your favorites to boost your weaknesses
4) Keep some art completely to yourself
5) Make time for the stuff that really inspires you
I really love your videos and I have been improving for the past several years with this channel's help

The first piece of advice is especially true in comic books. There are terrible panels that have been memed so much no one even knows the rest of it.

This is what I do Whenever I cant think of anything to draw:
Think of a Character
Think about their story
Draw the character with their friend or enemy.
Think about how they would react when they see each other or they were forced to hang out.

I have loved watching Lavendertowne's art improve over the years, anyone else?
Haven't watched her that long, but yes, there's some good improvement in her newer art compared to older. She's still young. I still remember the days before internet.
Same. I’ve been watching her for maybe three years and it’s great to see she’s found a great and consistent style and seeing her improve with it
I’ve only been watching for a little while, but I’ve binged a lot of the older videos, so I can still see it
This video in particular to me seemed to have some sort of very clear experimentation/improvement.
I like it.
SAME SAME
If I could tack on a piece of advice that I’ve been following myself recently: if you start to feel burnt out and have all these ideas, reduce your art to a rougher, faster version, like a rough sketch or very simple style. Make your art simple enough to show the ideas you want to get across, and then just move on to the next. Sometimes we overwhelm ourselves by needing to fully render a drawing, and burn ourselves out on an idea before we get there. If you feel comfortable to going further or rendering, do it once you have everything down, but give yourself some time between the sketching and the rendering.

Art advice: use your strengths to improve your weaknesses.
Me: use hair and clothes to improve backgrounds and shading?
Do y’all do it on purpose or do you seriously don’t understand what she means by that?
@@literallygaston2489 It's a joke about how that doesn't always work when you have more specific strengths than "people".
RzultaMorda well the advice doesn’t really work for people with different strengths now does it
I know this is a joke but genuinely think about what you love about drawing hair and clothes? Is it the colors? Is it the flowy lines? You try and personalise the clothes to a character right? Try and personalise the back rounds, draw them like you make an outfit, look at reference's, experiment with different ways to make a background. As for shading, Pick a color, try shading it. Pick out the things you don't like about it. Wright down your process. Find were do you think it went wrong, play with colors and layers. Look at other's art work and pick out things you like, try to figure out how they did it. Look at other references. Practice isn't going to help of you have no direction, But i hope this helps!
@@timlovesfrogs3771 I don't like drawing hair and clothes, it's just easier than drawing complex things like eyes. I can draw backgrounds sometimes, but I can't get it to look realistic because the character ends up looking huge compared to the trees and I can't draw perspective so it looks like a kid drew it. I can't shade because I don't know where the shading's supposed to go and how much.

Hands down the most important thing I learned in art school was how to thumbnail sketch. I am a lot like you in that I get inspired and just want to draw the 1st thing that pops into my brain, but thumbnails has made that process much cleaner for me.

He just snatched it off me, yelled a little and showed it to his buddies and even now they make jokes about me liking to draw and stuff.
In school if someone sees me drawing they just HAVE to ask "where are the eyes??", "why wont you draw the legs", "why isn't she wearing clOthEs???" ;-;

Maybe they skipped 1st grade.
I have a folder, I believe it is banned from warzones as an inhumane weapon. It's real heavy
As a person that would prefer sketching on printer paper, because I would like my sketchbook look like that calarts stuff, shoving stuff into folders sounds pretty great
And while I get why'd u love sketchbooks, why is that folder thing horrible advice?

Oof-that “explore the ideas” thing doesn’t work for me. RIP to having a weirdly functioning brain. I can’t do thumbnails. They make no sense. I just look at poses and decide who to draw lol but I don’t wanna be professional so who cares? It’s a fun hobby.
As an experienced artist myself, you don’t have to explore ideas every single time you draw something. If you just want to work on a fun pose, don’t worry too much about thumbnails or planning.
This advice is only for people approaching an ambitious project that requires a lot of thought or else it could be detrimental to you later on (e.g. a 10+ hour painting, a comic page, a commissioned illustration that needs certain details, etc.) But it’s also useful if you find yourself working on something for too long and it’s just not coming together; it means you didn’t fully explore more efficient ways of drawing the thing you’re currently working on. It’s a nice exercise to do if you find yourself getting stuck a lot or abandoning your drawings frequently.
Hehe I used to want to just be a hobbyist but now I'm looking into getting expensive tablets, starting a TH-cam career and art school
CatCactus That is helpful to hear. I guess my way of planning things out is mostly just imagining different scenes and scripting stuff out if I want to potentially draw comics. I just don’t thumbnail individual drawings since I usually have a clear idea of what I want to do or have looked up reference pictures to get some ideas.
I mean, if you don't want to improve then enjoy what your doing! If it's just a hobby then just have fun.

“Use your favorites to boost your weaknesses” is such a good piece of advice. I hated doing backgrounds when drawing my characters and so I decided to make creating believable spaces for my senior year of art my focus. It was a fun challenge because I used my two favorite characters to base the surroundings on (they’re the main characters of a graphic novel I’ve been working on) I did a total of 6 paintings/drawings and tackled a specific part of the background to just keep things fresh and with the last _complete_ drawing, I used all of the lessons I had learned from the previous pieces to create the one drawing I am most proud of. Looking back at the first and last “picture book” paintings (that’s what my teacher and I called the non-comic pages) makes me feel so good about what I achieved in just 7 months
It also made me realize that I’m actually capable of doing things on my own and motivating myself. It also made me realize how much I love those two characters and pushed me even further to wrote their story
Thank you for posting this I really appreciate all the advice love ya

Hey, you, random stranger.
I don't know who you are, what you're going through, or what kind of day you're having. I don't even know your name. I don't know much about you at all, but what I do know is that you are absolutely amazing. You're doing great today. You don't need to be perfect, you're already doing your best. You're probably going through a lot right now, and that's understandable. The world is breaking, I know, but you can do this. You've been doing really well lately! You can make it, I promise. You're gonna be okay. Everything is gonna be okay. Take a deep breath, go make yourself a hot cup of coffee, or some hot chocolate, or maybe even some tea. Grab a book, or look something up to read. Give yourself a break, you deserve it. It doesn't make you selfish to have some alone time, if anything it makes you less selfish. Take care of yourself, because you matter. Everything is gonna be fine. Take a warm bath, read a book, make yourself a good meal, and remember that you matter.
If you're an artist, your art is absolutely beautiful. Keep going!
If you're a musician, you're music sounds amazing!
If you're a writer, the things you write are absolutely wonderful!
If you're an editor (pictures, videos, ect.), your edits are awesome!

Best art advise I got is that you can't just sit there and complain that your bad at art without acting upon what you think your bad at and try to improve on it it's helped me lot with motivation and made me realize that hey... Instead of just saying bad which is incredibly vague and overly just a wrong form of self observation you should question yourself on what you think your bad at and improve upon those aspects.
That's just helped me quite a bit because yeah at the end of the day it's helped my big time with working on my flaws and well I have expanded outwards in my art because of thinking instead of me just being bad I think what do I think I'm bad at what's the specific thing that I feel I'm weak at.
Ik this was just me sharing what really made me pop off and love art I've been doing it seriously as a hobby ever since I understood that info hope it helps some who the whole I'm not good enough issue.
