at 9:15 when hes using the Gandalf figure as an example I remember more than 20 years back at art school sketching over and over everyone walking back and forth trying to capture just that moment and energy
I love his ppint about capturing the moment. We want to capture this essence, this intangible thing that we as humans imbue on objects or even in people! And that's how we breathe life into these fictional characters and worlds❤
Hey Kristian! Big fan of what you do, found you through draftsman. If reaching a wider audience is a goal of yours (which I'd love to see for you) then continue reading. If not, feel free to stop here :) keep up the good work But in case it is a goal of yours; I'd recommend trying a title that better communicates what the video is about! I really liked this video, but I honestly wasn't certain what it was until after watching it a bit. And I love the current title, but adding something to the beginning as simple as "Sitting Down With" would more quickly communicate what the video contains and would likely lead to getting more eyes on it. There would be no shame in taking some inspiration from the Anthony Padilla title and thumbnail format to get more eyes on your stuff! You deserve it. Regardless, best of luck. Looking forward to what's next :)
Does anyone know the word in italian for someone that is about to speak/just spoken? Did I miss it or did he just not say it? Loved the interview and loved this story in specific but I'd like to learn more and couldn't find anything about it
@@capriodyssa isn't parlare just the regular verb to speak? Or are you refering to the conjugation and it's more about a time than it is a specific verb?
Because the failures that every Artist encounters everyday is usually not documented for all to see. We aren’t usually shown the early work of an artist unless of course that piece stands out as exceptional, but this tends to be much later in their art journey rather than earlier. So if there is a piece of art work shown from Picasso at the age of 14 you don’t see all the failures that came before it from the age of 9 to 14. Talent is just hard work being shown off there are certainly people who understand concepts much faster than others but talent makes it seem like one cannot ever understand these concepts because they don’t have talent which just isn’t true, some just don’t learn as fast as others but someone can certainly figure these concepts out just with more elbow grease.
@@rowleyzero Talent, as I see it, is the ability to do something better than others without putting in more effort than others. We all get different bodies at birth, some are naturally stronger, taller, etc. Why shouldn't this obvious concept be applied to artistic abilities? I'm not saying that a person without "talent" will not achieve anything, but a person that has it, will develop better. He will probably always be one step further. About Picasso. Although I don't really like his early work (I love the rose period), he definitely had talent. But it doesn't seem to me, that he developed it. He did something different from art.
@@quietbirt One issue is that there really isn't a lot of genuine indication of significant "natural" differences in different people's intuitive abilities for practices like art. Of course a tall person will have an exterior advantage in a sport that favors a lanky body. But the arts are an area burdened with too much mythology. There are countless apocryphal stories about mysterious "natural talent" that have firmly embedded the idea that some people have a tremendous natural ability in art. But in reality, contemporary studies and such have found that it is environment that most often influences the development of perceptual, cognitive, and intellectual disciplines - not genetics. Children who exhibit artist leanings and notable ability at a young age almost invariably end up having been exposed to artistic influences very young, and didn't have parents who succeeded in repressing their exploration of intellectual exercises. The reality behind the myth of born artistic talent is also frequently highlighted by the trajectory of "gifted" children in education. Kids who are told by those around them, like their parents, that they simply have a superior ability by virtue of who they are and don't have to "work at it" almost invariably crash and burn when they reach a point of being challenged. And discover that their ability isn't natural, but something which requires practice and work. Except they stopped the work they began unconsciously when younger because everyone told them they had a special ability.
Talent implies a sort of giftedness when it isn’t true. You aren’t born with artistic abilities. You practice them. Artist are better artist, or look “ talented” because they put a lot of work into what they do. No one is naturally talented, they just have the attention span for it. Saying someone is talented stops them from putting in more effort to improve. Art is a skill. Anyone can learn.
This. You could already see it in school. People who were talented were great at drawing without even trying. Then there was those who didn't learn even how much they tried. Not everyone can become a great artist, that's The truth
The title did not say otherwise, what it said is that it is overrated. Which in the vast experience of professional artists is true. All too often people value talent over hard work, when anyone with experience and common sense can tell you that hard work wins out in the end. Talent is nothing without the work, and many people who are talented at first we get out done by people who put in more time and effort
A lot of fluff, it's incredibly simple. 1. Archetypal narrative ideas 2. Rough sketch on paper or in 3D 3. Render with use of lots of real life reference People like to make point 1 and 3 more than what it really is. Similar to music theory, people like to brag about their knowledge of all the lingo. But it's ultimately just, scales, chords, intervals, call/response. Similar to programming, people have invented a lot of abstract conceptual confusion. But it's ultimately just, classes, functions, variables, lists and set of instructions that results in behavior on the screen. But when you're doing an interview or even teaching something, the goal is often making it sound more complex and interesting than it really is. Because people like the prestige that comes with having mastered something complex. The audience wants to be intellectually stimulated, and the reality of it can't do that. A lot of schools and education is a scam, it would be very easy to teach a lot of things a lot faster and more efficiently. Like reading recipes in a cookbook.
Reminds me of a vid on here about when a friend calls him asking him what he's doing in that moment( friends a engineer) and tells him something technical but in realty he's washing the dishes his with wants him to do. 🥰🤣🤣🤣
I think they are talking more about the arts, not just drawing or painting lol. They talk about a range of different topics, not literally just the steps to making a piece of art. I think in ignoring the 'fluff' you kinda didn't get the point of the interview

So many nuggets of wisdom in this interview. Thank you

Another extraordinary interview. Thank you
This was beautiful man! Actually brought me to tears. What a great person Richard is. Thanks for sharing this Kristian!
Incredible vision. Giving more opportunities for aspiring artist is nothing short of beautiful ❤
Everyone should watch this ❤✌️
I love his ppint about capturing the moment. We want to capture this essence, this intangible thing that we as humans imbue on objects or even in people! And that's how we breathe life into these fictional characters and worlds❤
good conversation
Thanks for this!
This man is awesome

This guy rules
brilliant Krisian thx
amazing episode kristian
I think you should upload on Podcast platforms too. That would be awesome.
Brilliant
I’m thankful that my hobby isn’t my occupation. How would I come home and relax if I’ve already been sculpting all day.
I'm thankful that you're a hobbyist. Please don't sell anything.

Talent definitely does exist. Why deny it?

Hard disagree. In every great work of art, there exists a microcosm of the cultural whole. That's not simple stuff.
so can i get hired XD
