lol yes, pretty much yea

This is me EVERY. SINGLE. DAY. And while it’s great advice, it doesn’t exactly help with my low ideas of self worth lol
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.
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 😐👀

Ask them why they think so and so is better and ask them to be specific then take that information and apply it if you feel it is necessary.

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
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.
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!
All my sketchbooks are secret unless one for TH-cam :v
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
Everyone thinks secret sketchbooks are h*ntai so I’m not gonna have one
I don't have a secret sketchbook
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
...that actually made me feel better about my art ;-;

Yeah, this really worked for me

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)

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!

“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 ;-;
Yea that’s basically my art summarized
@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
Can I see your art?
It’s literally nothing embarrassing, but for some reason you don’t wanna show it
Exactly I threw my previous book behind my bookshelf
“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
omg the hair shading for the "explore your ideas before you commit" MMMM it looks so cool

Lavandula I feel your pain 👌
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.
Your not alone my dude
Well my parents don't ask me to see my stuff

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

Number 2 is problematic for me cuz i without a fail forgets all ideas
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!
I actually found this out on a field trip, if you crack open an acorn seed, you can use it as chalk! It's actually pretty cool.
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!
I myself am a soft shading person, but for some reason the way she shades skin now creeps me out
Michel Canheti well everyone has their own opinion, and I kinda see what u mean
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 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

Y e s
Person with a name well not really they have their differences but I get what your trying to say
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!
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 :)
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

"commit"
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.

I feel like for comics it's important to take a step back and accept that some panels will just be bad instead of working on a single panel forever

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.

I was also told in art school to “never draw hairy lines” as it shows that I wasn’t “confident” in my art. Yet. I was totally allowed to draw totally crooked lines and go back over them. They looked the same but somehow they were always worse to me. It almost totally ruined my art style. Art school messed me up art wise. Learn more from you! More on how to find a style! ❤
what does hairy lines even mean
@@thecatbrat42 I think they mean when you draw one line quickly, take your hand off the paper, and repeat the process. that's how I used to draw.
"Secret Sketchbook"
Ah, and then the memories of my days training posing by drawing really lewd shit come rushing back in.
*josuke hentai I draw for myself intensifies*
Ack same
mhm yeah
After reading all these comments I’m so tempted to draw hentai
💀 And that day where my friends found this sketch book on my room...
"Keep some art to your self *only* "
Me: Lol, all my art *is* private-
Lol I don’t keep any of my art private only some stuff
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???" ;-;
1BriBW I remember my dad’s friend was a digital artist that designs cars and my dad told me to show him some of my drawings ;-;
Same same!
All my art is public (i don't draw weird sh*t)
Hey, this video randomly showed up on my feed but im happy it did. It really helped me as im going through an art block and struggling with imporving, constantly feeling like my art is just not good enough and shouldnt even be called art. Thank you for giving those tips it was a very fresh look for me at the whole process of finding your own style and the stress that you are not getting better. Thank you again
I love your art style and line art is so smooth! Your shading is on point ✨✨✨✨✨
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.
What if you can't think of a character?
@@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
@@lemoncat2556 when did Mario started showing up in Earthbound?!
This, it actually helped
all fun and dandy until you realize you dont know how to drae body anatomy😭
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.
That was really helpful, i think, thank you for this advices!!
From my own experience, I can confirm how cool it is to have a secret sketchbook where are works that I don't even show to my friends. No, there is not even anything forbidden there, it's just that sometimes the feeling that I created it exclusively for myself is so pleasant!~
I love all the advice... I aspire to go to art school because of you and sure I've had a passion but I barely drew until I found your channel and you are helpful and inspirational to me! I've been scanning art schools and searching for inspiration, and my art has skyrocketed since the beginning of quarantine. I know you probably don't read comments but thank you... So much.
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.
Once someone told me not to use sketchbooks and just put everything in a folder-
I still wonder how tf they passed 1st grade-
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?
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-)
When you say “people’s eyes are are to that part” I look at your drawing- I see nothing wrong, your art is beautiful ✨❤️
This really helped boost my art and I appreciate it! Thank you!

I'm 33. Your input is useful to many of us. Thanks for taking the time to put this together and for being engaged in your work.
Happy New Year!
Okay Lavender. thank you.
Thank you thank you thank you. I really needed to hear... Pretty much all of this. Both this one and the bad art advice one, too.
I have been in a severe art slump for the past few years (coming up on a decade) because my medical-based education has literally ate up most of my time. When I'm not doing school, I am working my medical-based job and cramming creative writing into my lunch breaks so I don't dive into full-blown depression from lack of fun (the creative writing part regularly goes on haitus for months at a time)
I have been trying to get back into visual art for a few years now and I have slowly started to hate it. Not the viewing-- the doing. I keep looking at art of my friends who I used to draw alongside (still friends with) and they are all really really good (they've been at it while I have not), while my art is now realistic, but hard, static and flat. My perfectionism leads me to the point that I haven't completed a piece in... over 5 years because I get so frustrated with it that I have to put it aside or I'll stress delete.
The past year or so has put me in a deep depression with my art because I feel like I've lost any talent I've ever had and that any skills I built up as a child/teen are so atrophied that they pretty much aren't there. There has been dozens (maybe even hundreds) of times where I feel like visual art just isn't something I can do and that I'll never get back what I had, but the logic tells me that it's a skill and it's something I can do if I just try. Despite logic, the fear still resides.
If I sit back and really look at it, it's not the art that I hate. What I resent (not hate) is the fact that I've lost the joy and excitement drawing and visual art once gave me. I genuinely miss it and I'm terrified that I'll never get it back.
Lately I have been going to other artists and asking those classic questions "how do I get better?" and I am hearing " just practice" "see things in 3D" "Don't stress over what can't be seen" "not everything has to be perfect". It doesn't help and, really, it just frustrates me more and makes me want to quit more. Then the few people who are willing to give me advice stop (sans one, who really gave me a hard tongue lashing/bludgeoning over respect and perseverance).
Now I am a mature adult trying to figure out how to do it again with a hilariously unbalanced toolset. I understand that I need to start from square one because my skills are more or less foundationless, so I have been perusing the interwebs in an attempt to gain not only inspiration, but motivation.
I found some here. Over the two part series on this, I'm pretty sure I cried at least 6 times, but this part definitely had me crying the most. Your words are incredibly compassionate, inspirational, and are exactly what I needed to hear. I'm trying my best to remove myself from thoughts like "I've studied (insert art-based subject here) for so long (in the past), so I should be better at it. What's wrong with me?" and instead treat myself like an absolute newbie. Even if I still have some skills tucked away (somehow), I shouldn't rely on them and treat them supplementary perks.
Thank you for giving me motivation to pick up a pencil again. Also, thank you for encouraging me to try and ease up on the anatomy and light physics. More than anything, thank you for indirectly telling me to calm down and just enjoy it. It doesn't have to be perfect and it's okay if there are weak parts. Just do it.
TLDR: Thank you Lavendertowne for all the warm vibes and good insight (both indirect and direct). I have struggled a lot with art and you are helping me motivate myself to start learning visual art again. Thank you again!
my favorite art advice is "draw the hands/feet even if they look like sh*t" because it's better to have an ugly hand than no hand at all

I just want to say that I just started to watch your channel and every time I watch a vid I always have the urge to start drawing and I absolutely love your vids ❤
Honestly your videos have given me more motivation to keep doing my art because it's also for my kids that I want to keep that spark alive. Art was everything to me as a kid, and I'm trying to get it back.
