Why Failure In Art Is The Norm, Success Is Rare

- Many things in life can be boiled down to fear and love, I love drawing and fear failure, I made this video to remind myself to be fearless, I'm sharing it with everyone in the off chance others find value in my shortcomings. Also drawing from imagination is one of my biggest weaknesses so I'm actively trying to improve in this area. take it easy on me.
The amount of personal openness and vulnerability makes your channel so wonderful and relatable
I'm just a flawed human like everyone else, glad you can see that.
Honestly it depends what you consider failure. Erasing and reworking a drawing I don't view as a failure or even in the same realm as failure. You are creating something that doesn't exist, bringing into reality something that no living being has ever laid eyes on before, and you are doing this directly from your mind. Working your art is simply the process of building something, like putting bricks together to build a house. Even if in the end you're left with something that looks entirely different from your initial thought, that is still something you have brought into reality that never existed before and is beautiful in its own ways. You should never view that as a failure. Your art has absolutely inspired me and every piece of your work I have viewed in your videos has been mind-blowing. My mother passed a couple years ago and she was a professional artist. Sadly when she was here I never got to share that interest with her, to create new worlds, creatures, and characters. After she passed though I began to explore and express myself through art because I knew how much it meant to her and I was hoping it would bring a little comfort to myself in sharing this interest. Obviously, like most artists, I was frustrated with my creations and many times I wanted to quit but watching an artist like yourself inspired me to keep exploring this journey in the hopes I could one day create pieces closer to your work or my mother's work. I know failure can be a bit subjective, but to me, failure is only achieved when you give up and stop doing what you want and enjoy doing. In this regards, you have helped prevent me from failure and I would like to say, thank you.
i agree the biggest failure is in not doing, not trying, I;m glad you have found your creative spark, i wish you the best.
Looks like there are a lot of people who resonate with your experiences- I know I do. Failure and fear consume my life, even now at 52. Its caused me to forget how to make art just because I can, and because I want to. Our society pushes us to “create a product for others to consume”, and I want that thought out of my head so bad it’s an ache in the soul. Don’t stop failing- learning to embrace that is our greatest journey, and your path is my inspiration.
Art has become so devalued, products are so empty, the human connection is lacking. We need a second reconnaissance.
@@artyzartifacts9799 Empty, violent comsumerism destroys the spirit. I keep fighting to wake up from that nightmare and believe in my worth again. Thank you for your channel, knowing someone else is trying to face down the same demons gives me strength and hope. Thank you.
@artyzartifacts9799 No, You have a GREAT amount of views, one of your videos almost has 1 million views, Idk how human connection is lacking when you have so many people relating to what your saying. You ARE succeeding! What do you mean?
Aw mann, i'd like to give you a hug so much, i get how you feel about Art and Life and it sucks so much to see someone with your kind of talent think so lowly of his skills and Art.
Sure, okay, you're not one of those Artists with millions of subscribers because you don't draw cute anime girls, but DAMN your Art is so DIFFERENT too, in the best way !
Your older sketchbooks are incredibly impressive, your mastery of colours with pencils is outstanding, your imagination is amazing, and your determination to finish huge projects like your Eldenring watercolour journal is inspiring. Most people give up after a few weeks, but you fill in hundreds of pages and don't give up.
The content you create is fresh and original, and not just an endless rehash of a "successful recipe" that's popular on Instagram and whatnot.
Your Art is incredible 🥰
Fuck off. Talent? That's meaningless. Just because you don't like the anime style does not mean it warrants contempt. Do you honestly believe his art is that unique? You philistine.
thanks, im not giving up, just reflecting, trying to get it right.
Yeah, your art is pretty awesome and inspiring to look at.
your elden ring series is so inspiring to me. hearing that someone as skilled as you also has felt inferior to your fellow artists really is motivating.
thanks im trying not to let it bother me as much these days, we live in such a cool time we can see the best do there thing in real time.
Thank you for sharing your story
Reminds me of how I completely dropped the ball with my art back in highschool
All my friends were doing 'safe' career pathways and art was seen as the riskiest path and I made the stupid decision not to pursue it
15 years later, rediscovering my love for it and actively pursuing it as a career
If you're creative, every other job is a waste of your time and life. Don't waste it chasing someone else's dream or idea they have of you ❤
I always felt like I strayed of the path on accident due to my own clumsiness, and maybe curiosity, I think the path is just an illusion, it might be we only ever could have followed one path.
Don't be so hard on yourself. Your art is amazing and it has touched and inspired me to start doing more of my artistic hobbies again and like coloring/drawing and crochet and that's something important. So know that you have inspired me and your elden ring book made see it in a new light and also gave me a tip about the flame of frenzy tower and I was finally able to extinguish that damn tower. So don't think your doing nothing important and your art isn't good. I'd love to see "Jerry's" art today compared today. I guarantee yours is better. So just know you've inspired me and I know others as well. I can relate to being insecure a lot. I got teased, and picked on, and pushed and tripped at school every day. I was a noticeably gay kid in the 90s and 2000s in a small religious town so it wasnt fun. So I totally understand insecurity and I still deal with not liking myself and thinking I'm hideous every day. But just know that you're an amazing artist and you're not a failure. You're just a normal human being doing life. We're all too hard on ourselves. I know that doesn't fix anything but try to not be so hard on yourself. Especially about your art, cause it is truly amazing. It leaves me blown away every time and leaves me feeling how you felt with Jerry and Brady cause I will never achieve your level of greatness. Im rambling so I'm gonna stop. If you read this all, thank you. I'm flattered you gave me the time to hear what I had to say.
I always wonder about all the classmates who inspired me as a kid, I know Rob fullfilled his goal to become and animator. Brady made his own graphic novel, but I never found out what became of jerry, being the way I am, I've made an effort to find a way to balance my mental health, I appreciate your words and support, I also hope the flame of frenzy leaves you alone
I resonate with this so much. I am only 22 yet I feel like I am too old to even consider art as a career. I have been doing art since I was a kid so I am not a beginner but I see all the amazing artists online and just feel so behind. Almost like my art train passed a while ago and I missed it. It is just so hard when all I want to do is draw, yet I feel so discouraged every time I try to imagine it as a career for me. Even if I know in my heart that that is what I want to do. Anyways that was a lot of ramble, guess I just needed to get it off my chest. Thank you for the wonderful video!
22 sounds so young to me, you'd be surprised what can be done in just a year if you really want it bad enough. hearing that others feel this way makes me feel not so alone. thank you.
What an excellent talk. I can relate to your journey except for the amount of artists you were exposed to in your youth. I'm from a small town in northern Minnesota and was able to seek out some other artists but did not have much access to art other than books and magazines. This was in the 60's and early 70's before the advent of computers and videos. I did end up being a commercial artist for a few years but quickly decided that was going nowhere so I went back to work in construction and such to support my art habit. I'm 69 years old now and have finally made a mark in the art world with wood turning. Don't make any money at it but have gained some notoriety and met most of my heroes in the field and become friends with many of them. All along failure has been the biggest part of my success. I do free form lathe work, sometimes on a large scale.
A world class wood turner once asked me how many of my pieces blow up on the lathe. I thought about that for a bit and answered, "lately, not many, I'm not pushing the boundaries hard enough."
Thanks for this video. By the way, I'm a big fan of your work.
That's so cool, I worked odd jobs to support my art habits as well, my dad is wood worker and your story reminds me of him. Bets of luck
you have a touching way with words and art. i can relate to the crushing school experiences.
isn't it amazing that 20,30,40 years later we can still remember those moments that made us feel bad. not so much the moments that made us feel good.
depression is a beast. keep doing what you do man. we're all in this crazy world together.
Ya I realized just how lucky I was, not many people have the upbringing and support I had. Sometimes I feel bad for ever feeling bad, if that makes sense.
@@artyzartifacts9799don’t invalidate your own feelings. We all have a right to feel that way, no matter how bad or good we have it.
I'm very glad I discovered your channel. I used to be an avid drawer: making art pretty much everyday while watching videos just like this in high school years and years ago. Now as I'm getting back into art after a very long, multi year hiatus, it is SO COMFORTING finding a channel of someone who's passionate, drawing in a sketchbook and just chatting about various and relatable topics, like what you've discussed in today's video. Honestly, I thought this kind of content went extinct lol. I'm very glad it's not. I'm happy to know I can listen to and watch your video while I draw and paint. Thank you!
Draw, you won't regret it. I had a lot of time on my hands and I neglected learning and diving into art, learning anatomy, composition, perspective, shading and lighting. It takes a whole but don't give up... Neglect is the worst
tha't's great to hear, I wish i could livestream and just draw along with everyone.
I was drawing with you as a listened to this. It brought up some feelings inside i was scared to confront. I often notice the best videos for the soul are never found in the main stream algorithim. So thank you ❤
If i try to feed the machine what it wants, I would end up hating my own channel, I'm happy making what I make.
@artyzartifacts9799 Preach man, true creativity always comes being IN the moment, just letting that inner passion flow regardless if anyone is watching, doesnt matter. I think the machine drains the soul of real artists who just want to create for the sake of creating and joy.
Okay. Ow, I almost wanted to cry just listening to your story. It resonated. But also really inspired, I love your sketchbook page.
I’m glad you made this video.
This is really inspiring, this makes me think I shouldn't quit after all, I've had such a hard time drawing as a 17 year old and I look at people and wonder will I ever be good as them in art. Thank you ❤️
You have a whole life ahead of you to do great things. All you need is the courage to go after it.
Omg I love your channel so much. I’ve always felt like I’m good for nothing. Art is my strength and I’ve drawn since forever but still feel like I’m not good at it and I’ll never get anywhere with it. watching your videos is like a breath of fresh air, your so down to earth and real. Thank you so much for inspiring me to continue drawing.
Thank you, I had just given up for who knows how many times. I think i will go back to work before going to bed. I keep practing but stopping. Thank you so much
I hope you find your way, the struggle to not give up exists for all. bets of luck
Thanks for being so honest about your experience with art. I’ve been working through my own struggles with art after I lost the use of my hands in an accident that left me mostly paralyzed. Your videos are very captivating and I look forward to them. Have a wonderful day.
Sorry to hear about your hands, That sounds quite devastating, I wish you the best on your art path.
@@artyzartifacts9799 it’s been a long journey but after 11 years I’ve finally began making art in a brand new style. It’s a style that I never would have thought of before my injury. My failure lead me to a new path.
I see. To me, you are successful. The fact that you can create such beautiful works from your mind is incredible. It's crazy that our success is measured by money and fame.. To be able to make a comic, or just create an online page full of my art, or just creations of things i want to see in the world. Thats enough for me. To give myself artistic freedom is all i can ask for.
That sounds like such a fun life and amazing life! I hope it continues to be fun and amazing.
Thank you I can honestly say I'm fortunate enough to have lived a pretty good life,
Watching you drawing these characters while speaking of your personnal experience is very soothing.
I could watch you doing this for hours.
Thank you for sharing this with us.
Opening two minutes and i already feel like crying, picking myself back up again and being inspired..
thank you for your openness and talking about the things that are less talked about. In the sea of art video titles like "do THIS to make your art 100x better" / "this is the #1 problem for artists", your video and title reached out to me in a genuine and authentic way and i've never clicked so fast.
In my art journey/any journey with any of my hobbies, I tend to get immersed, addicted and good at it very quickly. My hunger for it is obsessive, but as soon as I have something to lose, I start to fear failure. Ill even avoid clicking on a youtube video about the subject at hand because i'll feel feelings of shame and guilt. Sometimes even comparing myself to myself, feel like if I havent practiced for a few days, that i'll be shit, then avoiding drawing even more, and even more.
As I approach 27, I also feel myself getting older and its quite a freaky concept for me since I still feel like a kid - im still studying (quit medicine to pursue art), and im honestly scared that one day ill look in the mirror and feel slower, less motivated, less attracted/accepted, less sharp, less accepted (i know its probably sounding ridiculous to anyone above this age, and I am by no means saying anyone above 27 is all that). But similar to your fear in the beginning, it can present itself as something so harsh, cruel and irrational, but feels so real to you.
thank you for sharing and encouraging people like myself and if I do produce content in the future, I hope I can touch lives in the same manner.
Im sitting here in my room in Germany, early in the Morning and listen to your beautifull story. These words are so deep. Thank You and much love Bro ✌🏼😊
Danke, Wishing you the best out here from the west coast of America
Thank you so much for sharing your story, it inspires me to keep pushing, I also have bad anxiety about my art and ego that’s tied to it and what I found that helped me was to forget about everything , forget about what other people have done/will do and forget the past , present and future and focus on what I want to improve on specifically with art (ex:working on perspective drawing) and try to work towards that , even so I will find myself falling into the deep dark pit of “you will never amount to anything” and i try to forget it and blank out my mind again
Please keep uploading everything u want. I watch all your videos. You´re great!
Thank you I'll do what I can
Of all the videos to randomly stumble across, I happen to find one that is a strange reflection of my own life story just with less friends and no running (asthma) and from a perspective of one a little younger than I am by the sound of it. Even down to the AP art and having a piece submitted to an art show, though mine won second place. I've made may friends on deviantart, including someone who is now my wife. I even caught this as I too am starting to let go of comparison and trying to draw from imagination again. So yeah, that little voice in your head was right, there was a video someone needed to hear and that was me. Thank you for posting it.
That's nuts, I'm glad I didn't shelve this video, I know I'm a bit out there, so hearing from others like me makes me feel a little bit more understood. thank you
You are the best artist In my heart keep going kid I will always support you
aww, I appreciate that.
I just wanna say: Thank you for making this; I felt an odd sense of comfort, this really cheered me up in more ways than one. Love you too.
Crazy to think someone who's as good as you feels like he isn't enough.
I dropped out of 3D animation during my second year because I couldn't draw. 10 years later I've become quite the artist, but I still don't feel like I'm good enough.
Thank you for making this video, it helped a lot. Right now I'm studying cyber security and wrestling with the same thoughts of "will I ever be good enough!?" maybe these thoughts are part of the human condition and not our faults.
As an 18 year old artist that was forced to leave art for over 2 years I relate a lot to this video :’> . I’m currently in my last year of highschool and my current art teacher helped me get a somewhat confidence and get myself back at art . You made me cry and thank you for the video
Hey Arty! Thanks for making this video. By the end of the 2nd minute I was completely entrenched by your story telling and the rest of the time was blissful and soothing.
I am so, so glad I found your channel recently. This really just pulled me out of the torment I was putting myself through. Always putting myself down with my art not being good enough or with myself. But I just need time, patience, and practice. And that’s okay. Thank you so much again, I’m looking forward to your next upload!
oh man, sorry to hear about the torment, We need to be nicer to ourselves!
man, ive been trying to teach myself to draw. this is the kind of vid people need to see!
i still struggle with failure, and i also compare myself with artists who are much better than i. thanks for this!
Glad you put yourself and your art out here
Genuinely inspires me and, I'm sure, plenty others.
small steps I guess
if bro thinks he's failing in life while being able to have such amazing skill and talent in narration and drawing then i'm fu*ked 💀
if your mindset isn't effed like mine, you should be alright
I really wish people were this genuine on the internet. it's so refreshing
These days I think all of life is a performance, we are all actors all the time. we play different roles based on our environments. I feel most like my true self making these type of videos.
@@artyzartifacts9799 thats a great way of putting it actually
Your videos have been inspiring to me. I grew up as an animation lover. I doodled a lot as a kid. I never got much encouragement from it, but I still loved it. I went on to study animation in college. I still love every part of it and still nerd out when I watch something visually spectacular. But since my college days, I really haven't drawn much. I do, from time to time, and I can always feel myself getting better when I do. But I don't often enough. And actually animating? Barely touched.
Your video was a bit of a slap to the face. In a good way, I mean. I can't really consider myself an "artist" or "animator" right now. But I want to be. I always have drawn for others, not for myself. That's my biggest failing, I think. That needs to change. I need to start filling out sketchbooks, and actually study the world around me again. Put myself out there with my art when the time comes. I need it.
Algorithms and view numbers aside, your videos touch people. It certainly has for me, and it has given me a lot to think about, and a lot to act on. Your Elden Ring videos made me want to do the same thing for the next game I'm excited about. From the bottom of my heart, thank you for this.
I was always fascinated by animators, they have to convey movement and so they end up creating such dynamic art, I always look to animation for inspiration, I wish you the best on your journey, it sounds like you have a good self awareness and a plan to move forward.
Running (any cardio, really) is a wonderful way to clear my mind, I'm delighted to hear you feel the same
I'm not a super bright individual, but I know running consistently is the smartest thing I have ever done.
Damn great video and i agree , although sometimes i can be scared of posting art , i still try . Thanks for this , Also i love the Elden ring vids
I am jealous of you, the type of friends you got, the type of life you lived, i am genuinely jealous, as for me the environment i grew up in or growing up in my exposure to the art industry was so late that i regret not getting to learn about it sooner, children in my school never drew good never shared things, i just wish i had some friends to geek out art with. getting to know new people their art style the differences and modifications they make in their drawings, their way of thinking and how they do things, i always wanted to have at least 1 of those, but ig i failed somewhere too, now i do have a friend i cant hang out with everyday tho but we do meet up. Failure in art might be the norm, but who wants to stay normal? i might fail a for decades but i have confidence i will glow up and conquer the industry..
Much love my brother
Hey man, your work is great, and look you found many that resonate with your work. I hope you know how inspiring your elden ring sketchbook was/is. Thank you for sharing your content.
Love your cadence dude, what a storyteller. Your art is fantastic and I love your message. Hope you continue!
Dude Im do happy to find you in a World full of TH-cam artists, I saw really few people talking about struggles like this and it make me so greatfull for the existence of this video, thanks so much for share your vision and insights with us, i feel so greatfull, I for sure have a lot to learn with you
This was beautiful, thank you for sharing. I love this channel!!
hope you continue to have more confidence in yourself and your art brother. you are incredibly talented and relatable as fuck
me too!
And that is what Life experience/Age is good for...
Thank you for sharing your thoughts. Those rare moments where you don't just say "I don't care" but live up to that statement and absolutely do it, are treasures.
Don't be afraid to add some more shades of grey to your hair. There is still some time left.
side effect of getting older is that I'm painfully aware of How much I don't know.
@@artyzartifacts9799 There is no need to know everything there is. Knowing where to find the info or who to ask is good enough
Sounds like everything is coming together, man! I'd actually love to see you as a concept artist!
Oh man, this gave me memories of my school year art journey minus the awesome opportunity you had. Great insight, thank you.
thanks im a sucker for nostalgia
This was so inspiring, thanks for posting!! Love your work and admire your skills!! ❤
I like art
I think creativ craft is the only think worth doing.
I admire everyone doing creativ stuff.
You make Stuff that makes people happy looking at it.
In Opposition I'm a programmer. Nobody is happy when looking at my work.
I feel like my work brings nothing to the world.
I also program as a hobby it is my Life.
But than there is the pressure. You can do anything with programming so I should.
Now I can't program anything at home. Sometimes I chalange it and
sit on my computer for hours on and don't make any progress.
Even you most favourite hobby can lead you into despair if the pressure of life is on it
I get what your saying, were all battling similar demons, Glad we can do it together at least. programming by the way is like literal magic to me, it's just so outside my understanding.
Thank you for this video. I feel like I’ve been on a journey with you.
Try as i might, I'll never be good as you & my twin brother, who have 15 years of drawing experience. I wish i start drawing sooner.....
i hope you find a way to tell yourself that you can be as good if not better than anyone else, There is no power in liming beliefs, it's taken me my whole life to start to think the other way. And even if you fail, it''s better than not trying.
thank you for sharing, it really helps
God bless you.
Just found your videos today, and hoping you’ll start uploading regularly!! You’re such an inspiration!❤🥹🙏
I wish i could do youtube full time, but I have a day job, i have many ideas for vids but i'm limited on time and energy to make them all a reality.
This video inspired me to push through something I'm failing to even attempt lately. Thank you for sharing. Maybe tomorrow I'll go on a jog too 🤔
I try to jog everyday, even if its just a mile or two, one of the few things keeping me sane in this insane world.
Dude, I've started and stopped drawing so much in my life. I love and hate art all at the same time, haha. I always have to draw and always seem to get frustrated when I do. 😂 love the video.
Ya i know it's a never ending battle. Wish I knew how to stop the cycle.
You art journey has a lot of familiar echoes for me.
Thank you so much for your openess and sharing your very real thoughts and experiences, this is so incredibly important and impactful for so many of your peers and followers, you are an amazing artistic role model dude, from the bottom of my heart, and I believe I speak for others too, thank you for your content like this, for all you do. it incredibly inspirational.
Woah, that's great to hear, thanks for the support.
LOVE your content ! Keep it up !
Please consider selling prints of your work!! I would totally purchase them as support and appreciation! I would love to have one of your fantasy images pinned above my craft desk🥹✨🐉
need to get over the fear of selling my art first. yikes
It's interesting how art is so diverse and yet artists face very similar personal challenges. You finish a drawing and either think "man this is awesome" or "this sucks, why did I even bother" and have to deal with that. My struggle is that if I do a GREAT drawing, I end up losing motivation to continue because I am expecting the next drawing to be a disappointment. I think it's healthy to criticize our work (obviously for the purpose of improvement) but the problem is we criticize ourselves personally for no good reason and it just restricts our ability to keep performing.
When I look at your sketchbook drawings, it reminds me of my true age: forever young joyful child! And the truth I’ve ALWAYS known, but let the world beat out of me: the fantasy world I know and love is more “real” than this fake plastic realm I am stuck in(for now) AND that someone else KNOWS it too!😉🙏🏽 also I had a dressage instructor, who used to yell constantly during lessons, that there was no improvement without mistakes! Which my brain interpreted as: there are NO mistakes! Only experiments!🤣
Watching the world become so artificial from what it used to be brings me down sometimes, things will always be changing. Your instructor seems like they know what's up, you must be something to behold on a horse.
@@artyzartifacts9799 I am!🤣 No, but seriously! These guides we are rarely fortunate to get in this life are amazing, aren’t they? Sometimes, in the lesson, I would just picture her being a mad scientist; with me as her assistant. We’re all decked out in the white coats and goggles! And I’m watching her brewing up some crazy concoction, in the giant beakers, adding the green mixture to the blue, watching it boil over and causing giant plumes of purple smoke! Causing her to laugh hysterically saying; we may not have gotten that QUITE right, but we learned SOMETHING, didn’t we???🤣🤣🤣 thank you for this really special post!
Thank you so much for sharing this video :)
The way you describe how art take suou back to childhood and gives you a therapeutic feeling is spot on how i feel when i draw and i havent done it in months thank you for understanding im ready
You have inspired me so much!
Thank you for sharing! You're amazing and so inspiring! Thanks to you I started drawing more. Love your style ❤
thanks!
I needed this video
Glacias!!
This video hasn't given me a new realization, but it has shown me that the Ideas I have glazed over in the past are extremely impactful for the rest of your life. I will From now on not only learn from failure , but not fear it alongside taking every opportunity I can find. I also really enjoy your content and wish the best for you in every way ❤
I love your sketch. It looks amazing!
And also thank you for the story. I really need it ❤️
Dude your artwork is great. Don’t give up and be kind to yourself
I'll do my best!
Thanks for sharing! Here's to failure!!
Man, i Love your style
Outstanding
I'm from the european countryside so the only exposure to art I had was the local childrens channel and even that was lackluster. It wasn't until a new network started where they showed anime shows from japan like dragon ball. I remember drawing the characters from Digimon and Cardcaptor Sakura. I also remember my parents buying me one of those "How to draw Manga" books that had lackluster quality. No anatomy lessons or anything in them :''D But I enjoyed copying the images none the less. I uploaded my work to deviantart and youtube some odd ten years ago and I'll never forget the art community as it was in 2009 and 2010, we all drew like beginners would but everyone was so nice and encouraging. I learned to draw from speedpaints I loved and even archived them to my PC just by the off chance that the artist would delete them. Looking back I wish I would've commented more, just to let them know that someone was out there that truly loved what they created. I bought a graphic tablet from my very first paycheck and after 14 years it still works and it is still the same one I draw with today! I love art and drawing, I always have and I most likely always will. And the love that I have for creating art is bigger than the fear of failing so I just keep drawing. For me it's like, If I do what I love and feel passionate about how can I truly fail. I don't even know when I started to think so carefree about it (cause I didn't used to) but ever since I did art has become so much more fun.
I'm glad I had the chance to experience the golden age of deviant art aswell. I'm starting to feel the same way you do about drawing and I hope I can continue to do so, I feel like you have the right approach. Thanks for sharing your story.
Your drawings do not look like failing or struggling, but I know what you mean. Others always tell me my drawings are great, but I am one of the few who can see the flaws LOL
Great video and art.
You hit me different, buddy... thank you!
I try not to hit, I nudge
I think you’re on to something. Looking forward to seeing what you create next!
I love your art and your story. Great job! And on the topic of discussion: never let perfectionism and fear of failure get in your way. perfectionism is just another form of procrasination. I presume you already know this cuz thats the video topic but i just wanted to add to it :P
Thanks for this video
Dude, thank you!
I think it’s interesting when I hear people say how hard or even impossible it is to become a successful artist today.
When, thanks to SM, digital art, outlets like patreon & online teaching courses, and selling prints/merch, doing commissions,
creating art for streamers….it’s literally limitless in 2024. The days of the “starving artist” is merely a frame of mind and
completely up to the artist. The only limit is within yourself.
Bless you you absolute legend!
Bless the Bagel!
I concur I will forever praise the bagel!
Keep up the optimism and positivity!!!
My fav youtube channel
haven’t watched much of the video but i’ve seen a lot of your art and you are incredible. i’m sorry you don’t get the recognition you deserve
your elden ring series inspired me to do my own (i´ll have to be careful not to copare myself with you, i´d lose any day). thanks for that! i like your style a lot and i was passively always into medieval style art in a grimoire esque style. also: you didn´t lie when you said that you were a lunatic xD (in a good way). you really have a poetic way with words, i really like the comentary. it´s as if you invited someone into a fantasy tale...
PS: the yt algorythim shoved this one into my face and i decided to click the vid when i saw that it was 2 days old and not 2 years.
thank you sir i wish you the very best
Hey Artyz, your drawings are quite good and you draw well.
3:52 Looks Great to me. Keep going.
It's so fascinating how great artists who are being rooted for by peers and teachers drop it so easily, art just stops being important to them. I didn't have a single adult in my life who didn't berate my art and I'm now doing it full time. I just don't enjoy it, their opinions will never leave me.
u made my days with YOUR Vedios i ove them
Please keep making videos and doing what you do. Its really cool and inspiring.
as long as life allows it I will keep making my weird videos.
I want that "story for another time" now!!
College and my early work life as an artist needs it's own video, I hope I get to share it at some point.
Hi, It’s always a pleasure to watch your videos. I really like the colors you use in your creations. (In elden ring journal) It’s awesome. I would be really grateful if you explain one day how you choose colors when you make an illustration of imagination. Thank you for sharing your art journey 😊
I'm working on a tutorial vid that isn't just another tutorial, but hopefully goes into detail about my whole thought process.
Thank you very much ☺️
Hell yeah man, the whole world is you, everything you sense, think, and know, is all just done by your brain, you are your own world, you get to choose what you do for art and how you think about it, there is no difference between your thoughts on your drawings and the sketchbook you have, they are all things you percieve yourself, and you can choose what you get to percieve for your time on earth, i love drawing, i love failure
Interesting.
Man it's not about how many views a video gets. That's not what making a successful video is it's how many peoples hearts you touch
I've been having trouble getting back on the horse. It's been nearly 2 months since i've done any art. I was doing it consistently everyday (nearly everyday) for a few years. Just never really saw the progress I was hoping...just always felt stuck and not moving forward. Said I was gonna just take a couple day break and here I am. Not sure if I really want to continue on and push through or give it up entirely. It's incredibly frustrating.
Thank you
