Yeah, even if you don't look at references, you still copy. Where? You copy your memory, you literally copy what you see unconsciously. Art teacher that don't let you copy is not a good teacher imo.
To be clear, Im NOT telling people to Copy or Plagiarise the works of other artist and call it your own. Im asking people to consider looking at things that inspires them and copy them, study them and steal the philosophy behind it ( rather than the actual work itself) and put YOU into the mix to create an actual piece of Original work. Im going to leave a qoute by one the most influential filmmakers of all time to provide more clarity here. "We want you to take from us. We want you, at first, to steal from us, because you can't steal. You will take what we give you and you will put it in your own voice and that's how you will find your voice. And that's how you begin. And then one day someone will steal from you" - Francis Ford Coppola Check these other Videos that might help you out - 1) 5 Tips to Improve your Drawings(as a beginner) - th-cam.com/video/q1WLOQBvffI/w-d-xo.html 2) The 'Perfect Drawing' Pen - th-cam.com/video/VlZOSODFHsQ/w-d-xo.html 3) Why you Should Copy other Artist - th-cam.com/video/sOTycVw44Zo/w-d-xo.html
Lakshmi Viswanathan Hahahaha Kesh really can make someone's day by just simply replying :'D Anyways, the main point of the video is to tell everyone that stealing(or looking for ideas from someone, to be positive) is *not* *a* *bad* *thing* , it's actually an inspiration we get in order for us *to* *come* *up* *with* *something* *new* . An example of that is: Searching for a real-life image/picture of a forest then use it as a guide to create a fantasy world Or taking a photo of a Fennec Fox as a reference for you to create new characters :)
I airbrush motorcycle art in realism, but I always used some sort of reference and always painted to someone else's requirements and it got restricting. That's when I started Doodling on my YT channel. I pull only from my imagination, what I want to draw, and the way I think/want it to look. It is very free-ing! I'm still not sure where I'm going with it, but i love it. Thanks for the video bro.
I heard the saying "good artist copy but great artist steal". Your video really help me understand this! Thanks! Here is another saying for you! earth without "art" is "eh"
So true lol in college we were told basically the same thing but they called it “Sampling” and it was just a good way to get started on your at work. Say “ I love the idea of doing this and this from both these works so I’m gonna make my own work with that in mind” but you do it respectively as you would want your own work treated.
This was crazy inspirational. I've been in such a slump trying to fix my style and make it seem more appealing, but had no idea how to go about it. This helped so much, and I'm really glad you popped up in my recommended!
Hey Man, Just To Tell You. You Have Been Such An Inspiration When I Was On The Verge Of Quitting Art I Found Your Channel And If I Didn’t I Would Of Probaly Quit Ty So Much❤️
Dude this is great -- this is kind of how I learned to draw. I'm on social media and I find styles I like and adapt or interpret what I like the most their style into my own art. I HIGHLY recommend this to all artists out there 😁
The best lesson art school taught me was to take inspiration from others, and make it my own. Don't try to photocopy, but instead, show your vision of it.
Gosh reading my mind again Kesh, I was literally just thinking to myself about the importance of this these last few days XD Awesome video as always bro! :D
I want to say thank you. It took me awhile to realize why I wasn't improving as an artist. Now I realize its because I kept deviating from the trends and kept being a hipster telling others "Thats too mainstream"
Hey @Kesh! Loved your video. You made me realize that ORIGINAL actually means IDENTITY. The recombination of elements to create your own IDENTITY. That's awesome. It was funny to cause as I was watching your video I was thinking to myself how you were doing what you were talking about ie... :stealing from how to steal like an artist...you did this by making a youtube video. And then I loved how you recognized that in the end. Great video! thanks!
Your awsome! I already knew the concept at the base of the discussion you brought with this video but the way you talk about it made me learn something new, another point of view about something I learnt time ago
Thank you, Kesh. I remember when we did any drawing or art at school, the one thing we weren't allowed to do was to 'copy'! "Teacher, teacher, so-and-so is copying!" You were supposed to produce "original work" and I don't think I ever learned any techniques. And plus, the pressure to produce original art works gives you a big ego and false pride. Once in a blue moon when you manage to create something, you will think you are the Great Doer, or many artists can only create under the influence. This is the Western perspective, by the way. Whereas, if you know, you are unique and original (which is 100 % true) and you are only playing with ideas that already exist, that feels freer. Free to create and free from the illusions of the individual ego.
AWESOME VID REALLY. It really got a thought in me. I now know the difference between Stealing like an artist and stealing like a thief, I also understood that Stealing and copying are VERY different from each other. Thank you for making another awesome vid like always :D
I love your videos...very inspiring.. and this video explains it well...learn from other artists and let their work inspire you to create your own....great work 💕
You really inspire me to start drawing and getting of my computer and over the last couple mouths I have been drawing every day and I am starting to get pretty good and I think i might me getting my drawing stile
"Good Artists Copy & Great Artists Steal" Take that Art Teacher! (She doesn't let us do this)
Yeah, even if you don't look at references, you still copy. Where? You copy your memory, you literally copy what you see unconsciously. Art teacher that don't let you copy is not a good teacher imo.

@@krono7843 I was revived by a certain necromancer - peko
Leonardo Da Vinci literally all our art tasks are copying other artists so i assume we have a godlike art teacher

The quality of your videos is amazing and it's obvious that you put a lot of work into them. Love your art and your passion for what you do.
Thank you! :D

What artists do you steal from?

Everyone 😎
Steal from artists you admire

Your channel is a way to get contents of many books from a video with colour of your art ..!
THIS IS SO PERFECT OMG.
Makes a lot of sense because what makes you you is all of what inspires / touches / you build on, that makes all of you.

"there is nothing new under the sun" and that is 100% true, especially in any creative works.
Between Great video ! Artist steals and then brings something that makes the theft an act of technique and beauty!
Gosh reading my mind again Kesh, I was literally just thinking to myself about the importance of this these last few days XD Awesome video as always bro! :D
U deserve so many more subs!!!😅
We are getting there bud, slow and steady :)
One Step At A Time ;)
I want to say thank you. It took me awhile to realize why I wasn't improving as an artist. Now I realize its because I kept deviating from the trends and kept being a hipster telling others "Thats too mainstream"
You stole from Austin Kleon so well xD I love how you explained on one of my favorite books!!!
The book is really well put together, really cant wait to get my hands on show your work.
Kesh
Your videos are great
Art World are great ?!?! you mean are amazing right??
i just subbed u !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I love your videos and am heavily inspired keep up the good work
Thanks! sure will :)
I guess the key is to have several different references for the same piece as opposed to just copying a reference photo as an exact copy.
Hey @Kesh! Loved your video. You made me realize that ORIGINAL actually means IDENTITY. The recombination of elements to create your own IDENTITY. That's awesome.
