Hey Sara! Thank you so much. I’m almost at the end of the anatomy book now … and so I’m a pro! Ha! Just kidding obviously 😆. But can’t wait to start trying to use this information and style. Your comments keep me inspired. Thanks!
@@canilearntodraw2579 You welcome brother, your beautiful artwork already proves that you are a PRO ARTIST believe in yourself brother... So congratulation in your achievement🌺 As for me after a long illness i just start my journey to learn drawing, so wish me good luck! 💪💪😊😊
Maybe part of why you don't have burnout is because it's not your job. This truly can be an expression of you, rather than a product to sell. The drawings look amazing :) As I always here to see journey.
Lol. Hey supsup you are likely correct about that. Because it’s not my job. And yes I do feel that freedom. Thanks for the complements on the drawings always enjoy hearing from you!
Do you plan on revisiting the drawabox course? I'm currently on the 250 Box Challenge where I'm drawing the boxes. And how much of those "Drawabox" lessons have actually helped with your workflow, if any at all?
Hello Hello ☺️. I am not sure if I will revisit draw a box in the near future. Probably at a later date when I have figures under control. However, the course has been an amazing help to me. Most of my drawings I do construction for prior to the final lines. And doing that 250 box challenge really helps to start getting a more intuitive feel of how to place a box the way you want it to look which is super helpful. Also the skill of adding volume and the speed gained from using direct to ink. It really helps. So although I never finished the course as it started getting very technical, I really think it was very valuable! I hope this helps! Best of luck.
I think burnout comes when you have a financial pressure on your shoulders 🤔 i never did any art related burnout neither, because juste like you, i'm learning it beside my daily job as a literature teacher. I've been creating art for a decade but never wanted it monetized. I did a few local exhibition but always refused to sell it. And i think it played a huge part in my relationship with art practice. But i experimented a burnout related to my job as a teacher during the pandemic (remote teaching is honestly really hard), and my main focus of anxiety was that the job was harder and harder but i was held there by the financial pressure despite wanted nothing more than quitting 🤔 i think it definitely played a part in my burnout experience.
I think this may be correct Marielle. With no additional pressure you are free. I have a few friends who are teachers as well. And my brother is a teacher. You are not alone in your feelings about online teaching during the lockdowns. I do have a relative that teaches at an online university but that is slightly different than what happened during the lockdowns. They love their job.
@@canilearntodraw2579thank you for your reply! Teaching isn't easy, but it's definitely a job i love. Here, in France, teachers are not really recognized by the society or the politicians, so i think it helped my burnout. I'm teaching at my university, now, and have finished my phd. I'll definitely try to try to find a job in the academics : it's much more rewarding to be able to teach your area of expertise! (and I've more time to draw too, which is great!)
I honestly need your perspective; the past six months haven't gone well for me especially for my art progress. I've been quite slacking off on practicing and on the actual "drawing" part of it as well. It's not that I'm losing passion or motivation or anything but rather I'm having a hard time to actually starting. The moment I pick up and start drawing that is all I do, but most of the time I "start" at midnight so I really only get 30 minutes maximum. So from your experiences how can I draw consistently, at the right time? And I also feel like I haven't told the whole story but I'm in still in high-school, I got of school work in the way and I have been attempting to get my video game and social media addictions under control for a while, both of which have been part of why I have been slacking off in the past 6 months.
Hey Carmen! First I would say this, as much as we would like to think we are unique in our problems we are not 🙂. So first step give yourself a break. We all go in waves of more then less inspiration/intensity. So if you can only get in 30 mins at the end of the day start there. Start with a routine you can keep and then go from there. Stretch goals are good … but they are “stretch” goals. It takes time for the stretching to take place 😀. Start with consistency even if it’s just at the end of the day. And then see what happens. You may surprise yourself.
i think that the burnout is related with expectations and also if you are doing art for doing art, or if you have any second intentio with it. I think that what really separe an artist from a non-artist is doing it for the sake of doing it. I heard this from a music buddy all the time, and he, is a truly musician. As an example i can get my self, i am not an artist, i am not a musician, neither a programmer, 3D guy, but i use all this things to do a game, and this game has second intentios with it, so i also not really consider my self a game dev. The thing that is my true thing is praying, making studys of the Bible, doing some starving, do some social work, see god in everywhere, all this things i do for genuine pleasure, and if you are an artist you will habe this same genuine pleasure with art.
Your artwork is soooooooo beautiful, all the hard work you put into these pieces really shows 💪💪💖💖

You should read war and art its a small book, and talks about resistance of doijg the work.
