This is something my figure drawing professor used to say all the time. It's also the best reason to get meaningful critique from established peers and professionals - so you actually know what you are lacking, and where to put your effort.
The final artwork and the process itself is amazing. And i feel like this chanel is underated.. Just the title of the video inspired and couraged me to practice!
Great video! I used to do a lot of deliberate practice but since last year I have long my focus energy but I still haven't given up. Just need to refuel my focus energy!
Great tips as always. Do you have any tips regarding studying anatomy and approach to sculpting ? As a beginner should I focus more on rough details and doing simple head busts?
Many ways to learn, i would advice a course or book that will guide you through it for starters, an anatomy book intended for artists can work wonders if you use it well
Im just gonna say my best models have been durring my severe insomnia states with good music in the background. Last big work i did i hadnt slept for almost 5 days and i just felt like modelling a bunch of junk.
Glad you mentioned not to do it after a long day of work because that's when I've mostly been doing it. I would nod-off ever few minutes then just quit cuz I can't stay awake. But then again, I only have 1 or two days out of the week to get to practice soo... Double edge sword there
The struggle, i get it trust me. Try brainstoryming on how to manage your time, you might be surprised how much time you can gain throughout the day and see if you can allocate some to your art if that is something you want!
Thanks for your advises! And now I want to learn sculpting) As to pop filter, you can use a bandana! :) You will be a brutal youtuber sculpting characters and wearing bandana... O-o-oh, year! :D
I thought of something interesting while watching this. How many of you are able to reiterate all 10 tips after watching this video? More than likely, you can't. I'm starting to approach art tip videos differently; after each tip, I pause the video and recall what I just listened to. That way, it's more likely to stay in my long-term memory. I'll rewatch this video again soon (repitition) so I can reinforce this knowledge. Thanks for the tips Yan :)
What one did you buy? What did it cost? I really, really want to get one, but I'm afraid of making a huge investment that doesn't pay off in any meaningful way.
Clearly this is for sculpting, but they are all Solid points and can be applied elsewhere. Much love for stating it's exhausting because... Well it is.
I hate being poor, I'm 18 years old and I have the desire to have a Computer and a Wacom table to draw and to make digital art, to be Brazilian poor is bad man
you can always practice art with a paper and pencil, in fact that is important if you want to improve and it costs next to nothing. That with help from the internet to improve your art fundamentals till you can affort a pc and transfer that knowledge to your work in 3d is what i would personally do, just my advice.
Maybe you should set default settings. If it won't work, then change your render engine. And if the second solution won't work, then you should give up and download stable version. This is beta and things happen.
Hy YAn Pls i have a question.. My interest is in animation and character development do i start from they directly or start from modeling pls i need your honest answers
mm drawing would be good especially for character development, learning about concept art and all. As for animation i don't do much of that but check the fundamentals of animations if you haven't yet
what exactly am I looking for in anatomy? I have no prior art knowledge and just got into blender. Are there any anatomy courses/videos focused towards sculpting?
I notice that I always have a great start, but I seem to miss something. It seems like I skip a big part I end up with a fake unfinished thing even if I spend hours on it. What can you recommend?
when I'm sculpting multiple objects, for example a face and teeth being two separate objects, sometimes I only want one of them I want to have symmetry on. Is there a way to set only certain objects to have symmetry on in sculpt mode, while off in other objects? I know I can symmetrize in dyno but I don't want to rely on that.
if you are going sculp something like this without ui map or rigor t pose isnt sculping in zbrush is faster ? also the bar just right under the file edit render how do u open that ?
hey, how are u? I've seen some videos where people tend to decimate their models when they get to a really high polycount, keeping most of the detail and then keep refining it with dyntopo, decimate, dyntopo over and over again to "optimize" the polycount as much as possible. What do u think about this workflow to deal with really high dense meshes? Thanks.
you talked a little about art basics like anatomy, and how it is important to learn them. I have an anatomy book I've been studying, but I find my mind just drifts off and I'm just reading it without really processing it. Do you have any idea how I could prevent this?
Probably how the info is presented to you doesn't match with how your brain works, try watching videos, reading other books, cheat sheets on pinterest, traditional sculpting videos, etc.
I had the same problem at first, i think it is because so much info is new at first. I would then focus on small parts and repeat the read till i focus and grab the info,sometimes i would revisit the same page a few days in a row.
Thanks for the video! I really don't want to sound like an ass, but I feel like you might want to tweak the sound of your mic a bit, it is _really_ heavy on bass, it almost hurts to listen to :( noticed that with most of your videos
Surprised you got that from previous videos but i definitely agree on this one, i got a new mic which i used for the first time on this video and i haven't had time to figure it out yet. It had some serious pops which it isn't supposed to have, will work on it. Thanks :)
Longer sessions will likely result in frustration. Take small breaks after about 15 minutes, intake a very small amount of sugar (sip of Gatorade every 5 min). To sum up the information in the link below. th-cam.com/play/PLzBixSjmbc8eFl6UX5_wWGP8i0mAs-cvY.html
Ha! I have a very short attention span so your 10 steps would be 20 and it takes longer for me to finish anything or i would set the project aside and start a new one
Please move a couple inches away the mic, I can hear the shaking of your vocal cords (I'm at 2 volume and I can listen normally-ish, you're quiet, but any higher and it feels like you're in my ear regardless of volume)
![Don’t Make This Mistake When Taking a Break From Art! | Sculpting Chun Li [Street Fighter]](/img/n.gif)
Popping, pooping, pop pop pop... New mic I apologize to your ears, i need to figure out how to use it 👍😂
Pop filter will solve all of that easily and rather cheaply. Just grab one off Amazon!
Simply move it about a inch away from your mouth, problem solved!!! :D
It's fine, just lowered the bass on my sound so it sounded normal :P
Try talking at the mic but not into the mic.
This is something my figure drawing professor used to say all the time. It's also the best reason to get meaningful critique from established peers and professionals - so you actually know what you are lacking, and where to put your effort.
Well said :)
Philosophy + Speed Art 🔥
:D
Bravo! So inspiring. Thank you for the video and tips. Just started sculpting about 3 months ago. Love it!
Welcome and nice, happy sculpting!
The hair was awesome
Thanks xD
I have been following your work for a while but I found your TH-cam channel only today! Can't wait to binge on it!!!
Lovely work as always ❤️
Praise this man !!
xD
Agree 100%. And not just for your art, your workflow is as important as your art. IMHO. Nice vid!
Thanks :)
The final artwork and the process itself is amazing.
And i feel like this chanel is underated..
Just the title of the video inspired and couraged me to practice!
Thanks!
I don't know how I got here but I'm not complaining
I ain't either, welcome to the dark side, have a 🍪
@@yansculpts haha thx , you actually got me interested even if I have 0 skill !
no worries we all started with 0 xp ;)
Love the hair and the content mate ;)
Thanks!
So he is using AI for all of his work, hmmmm
Currently on 0:14 seeing those background
you figured me out 😂
Great video! I used to do a lot of deliberate practice but since last year I have long my focus energy but I still haven't given up. Just need to refuel my focus energy!
Fill that focus energy :D!
채널 초창기 때부터 봤는데... 점점 잘생겨 가네... i have seen your channel since its early days... and i know that your looks are getting better and better...
😊 thanks
Thanks for the video, the tips help out a lot in my process.
Great stuff Yan, thank you!
still cant find tutorials for materials, that are as good as u.
You can create your own if you know how the node set up works, look for that instead!

Im just gonna say my best models have been durring my severe insomnia states with good music in the background. Last big work i did i hadnt slept for almost 5 days and i just felt like modelling a bunch of junk.
Insomnia powers up my art as well, I'm pretty sure it's an ancient blood curse afflicting all artists
Thank you.
Welcome!

Same. It feels bad, but I want to save my prime time for my paying work or my kids, so my art is always dead last. Feels bad.
The struggle, i get it trust me. Try brainstoryming on how to manage your time, you might be surprised how much time you can gain throughout the day and see if you can allocate some to your art if that is something you want!

Ahaha nice!
I’m enjoying your “enjoooy” xd
This might just be me, but what really helps is to be in a room or outside ALONE.
cool

You are my motivation for sculpting and that made me to buy myself a graphic tablet(arriving soon)
What one did you buy? What did it cost? I really, really want to get one, but I'm afraid of making a huge investment that doesn't pay off in any meaningful way.
I bought the cheapest one Huion h430p which only cost about $24
@@pixellate9649 Oh, I thought you were talking about the ones with the digital displays for some reason. Huion has one for around $500
If you want to start from beginning or as a hobby this is the best solution
Thanks and happy to motivate, gratz on the tablet!
nice vid, i enjoyed
Thanks!
Clearly this is for sculpting, but they are all Solid points and can be applied elsewhere. Much love for stating it's exhausting because... Well it is.
Agreed, i had all artists on mind but also applies to many things :)
Very useful video :)
thanks!
About that last tip, what are the fundamentals of art?
You're looking COOL
Thanks :)
A big Thank you for the Reply
OH NO, HEART EYES!!

@@yansculpts HOLLY WOLLY, NOW I FEEL MORE LOVED THAN EVER TODAY. STOP.
at 1:50 is it possible to do that viewport view with ZBRUSH and splitscreen functionality?¿
Is blender guru's chair modelling good to learn basic modelling?
How do you make lighting setup ?
How do you use the "grab brush tool" so efficiently?
set the strength to 0.1, the default is too strong
@@yansculpts isn't also how you pull it? At a certain angle to pull all the poly at once?
@@yansculpts thank-you. The work improved.

Hi! awesome vids, Yan! how do you make it so smooth shaded? My mesh is always grainy. is there any magic checkbox I need to check?
Help plz everytime i click rendered view it just crashes
Maybe you should set default settings. If it won't work, then change your render engine. And if the second solution won't work, then you should give up and download stable version. This is beta and things happen.
@@montey6436 Yes but I cant like do stable versions it is really bad compared to 2.8. Its so much eaiser
crashing in eevee might be related to your graphics card
@@yansculpts thank you it helped me. and what is your monitor/tablet thing called
Hy YAn Pls i have a question.. My interest is in animation and character development do i start from they directly or start from modeling pls i need your honest answers
mm drawing would be good especially for character development, learning about concept art and all. As for animation i don't do much of that but check the fundamentals of animations if you haven't yet
@@yansculpts thanks very much
is it a diffrence to modell what you like, or you have a job to modell, does it not destroy your will to do art to work for a company ?
You can always create what you love on the side in your free time i guess
Yan could you do tutorial on female arms and hands? XD
what exactly am I looking for in anatomy? I have no prior art knowledge and just got into blender. Are there any anatomy courses/videos focused towards sculpting?
I notice that I always have a great start, but I seem to miss something. It seems like I skip a big part I end up with a fake unfinished thing even if I spend hours on it. What can you recommend?
It is a tough question i don't really know your work to see what is missing, but sounds like you are rushing the blocking stage
Cool
Thanks xD
I'm a complete beginner and I've already had a long break from doing things related to art... Forgive me my master :(
hahaha
Which computer is that??
Mate you need a pop filter. like a sock or something.
The mic i got has one built in, it was my first use with this one i was probably too close 😂
Are you goimg to offer any other courses on your gumroad store other than the 3 you already have on there
yeah in the future, but gotta update the sculpting and texturing one this year first when 2.8 is stable
when I'm sculpting multiple objects, for example a face and teeth being two separate objects, sometimes I only want one of them I want to have symmetry on. Is there a way to set only certain objects to have symmetry on in sculpt mode, while off in other objects? I know I can symmetrize in dyno but I don't want to rely on that.
for now you have to activate or deactivate symmetry when needed, you cant target objects from what i know
if you are going sculp something like this without ui map or rigor t pose isnt sculping in zbrush is faster ? also the bar just right under the file edit render how do u open that ?
hey, how are u?
I've seen some videos where people tend to decimate their models when they get to a really high polycount, keeping most of the detail and then keep refining it with dyntopo, decimate, dyntopo over and over again to "optimize" the polycount as much as possible.
What do u think about this workflow to deal with really high dense meshes?
Thanks.
Whatever works is good, you gotta try and see what fits your workflow
i buy drawing tablet is very easy to use for blender sculpting is easier than mouse now it will be mach faster and beter work
Gratz!
hey, just a question. I'm a beginner, i start sculpting from a sphere, how many poly do i need?
Use dynamic topology, worry less about poly count at first
@@yansculpts thanks

Yup
Nice haircut
thanks :)
you are more like a teacher
thanks i guess xD
Will I get dark eyes with deliberate practice I will do it then definitely
Haha too bad for u that is mostly genetics, you can get it for lack of sleep but i wouldn't advice it ;)
@@yansculpts ok sir I would keep tht in mind !! X
I will do it super kaioken times 1ⁿ00000000
Kaoiken?
Kaioken sir not koiaken sir
It's. A reference to the power up forms of Goku like the super Saiyan form similar to that

does anyone know any good books on this ype of practice? Im trying to make my own animated youtube channel ; )
On deliberate practice you mean? I am curious too if anyone knows one
why do you make this Tutorials instad of working for a Company =
i love what i do, i don't see why i should do it otherwise :)
I'm ADHD.... so this should be fun
ai, give it a a go and see if you can find ways to focus
Longer sessions will likely result in frustration. Take small breaks after about 15 minutes, intake a very small amount of sugar (sip of Gatorade every 5 min). To sum up the information in the link below.
th-cam.com/play/PLzBixSjmbc8eFl6UX5_wWGP8i0mAs-cvY.html
11 Deliberate practice by definition should be hard, the set goal needs to be difficult
it is definitely challenging, but the benefits are clear
Ha! I have a very short attention span so your 10 steps would be 20 and it takes longer for me to finish anything or i would set the project aside and start a new one
Please move a couple inches away the mic, I can hear the shaking of your vocal cords (I'm at 2 volume and I can listen normally-ish, you're quiet, but any higher and it feels like you're in my ear regardless of volume)
Yeah it was my first video with a new mic sorry about that, fixed it in the videos after this one
@@yansculpts Oh okay, thanks
I was too concentrating on you doing art that i didn't listen anything
Haha
It's exactly like fkin uv maps to do in such way that there are no seats 😵😵😵😟
Huh?
@@yansculpts this deliberate practice is sir just like avoiding seams in uv maps that's what I meant to say sir
I thought Deliberate Practice was the name of a sculpting software lmao
LOL
Why do you have more female models
If anyone has ADHD, I recommend taking a small break after every 15 minutes and a *very* small sugar intake to increase brain energy.
Nice tip, someone commented they had ADHD
Bless this comment
