I'm glad you are aware that imposter syndrome is what you go through, many people can't acknowledge and truly think they are the issue, I wish you the best and that you can overcome this mindset, stay strong ❤️
I had the same thought for years actually, and I mentioned it on the video too, thinking we have it implies we deserve said recognitions, but that's exactly what impostor syndrome is, believing you don't, so accepting we are dealing with it is a first step that can help shift our minds to more healthy paths, if that makes sense, we don't have to acknowledge that we are good, or the best, or whatever, but understanding that imposter syndrome does makes things worse than they should be, there's being humble and there's imposter syndrome Thank you for your comment I hope that by saying you don't have imposter syndrome you mean you can accept the skill level you are in without it taking a toll on your mental health Wishing you the best
Yeah and similarly to your example, if someone is being gaslighted and truly believed what they say, they wouldn't think is gaslighting, so yeah I agree, is similar on that regard
I started going to art school to make my drawing skills better but I always keep comparing to other students there because they more experience than me so always feel bad about myself. All I wanted to say is that I really needed this video and thank you for making it. It means a lot to me ❤
TMNT FAN 🫵 (There’s always someone who will compare your art with YOURS. Admiring your classmates’ art isn’t a bad thing, but it can be damaging when that admiration turns into comparison. Take a break and learn to transform that comparison into admiration! The rise! art style inspired my art A LOT + drawing the 2012 turtles. I study artists I like and look for ways to implement their techniques into my art. Admiration will always lead you to inspiration and success, comparison just drains you. Keep practicing, keep studying, you’ll get where you want someday ❤)
ah im happy that you are actively improving your art, but also i understand that is only natural to see all the others since you are classmates with them, so is hard to just ignore it, i understand, in the meantime i hoipe you can remind yourself how much you are improving and how much you will keep improving as you keep going, you will do great, you already are and im happy for you, this will get better as you keep going, youll see how much you achived, thank you for sharing and i wish you the best of luck!
Thank you. I haven't been drawing for years. Making anything. I am so terrified that it will be bad, that i have stopped doing all of the things i love. I want to do those things, to enjoy them, but i am so horribly afraid. This video helped a lot. Thank you.
a breaks of years happens, many people do need some back to step away in this scale to re evalue and exlore, either other options, because drawing is not for everyone, or to reignite that love for art, im sure you will know when you feel ready but definetly you should start small whenever you come back, to not focus on hoow the art is going to look but to focus on how you felt by drawing, was it fun, relaxing, etc, i think is the best way of starting, not to produce, i wish you the best of luck and i hope you can find joy in drawing again!❤
I am SUFFERING from imposter syndrome and I NEEDED to hear this cuz I've never looked at how much i improved and how I was constantly judging myself thank you
I'm glad I could remind you to look back and see how much you improved, I wish you all the best and never stop, so you can look back once more in the future and see an even bigger gap and be proud of yourself
I don't hate my art, i just see it as inferior to most other artists. I always get that feeling that me and my art ain't worth shit, especially when i look at other people's art. But i try my best to see the good in it, even if i barely get any compliments for my art.
It helps to remember that you're drawing because it's fun. At least, that's how I go at it. I don't do comms because I just hate people. But I don't want art to be a career in my life. On the other hand, seeing teens online make some seriously good shit tears me down. It makes my inferiority complex explode.
@@excalibur493remember that everyone's learning curve is different and you don't have to reach the level of those young artists rn, take your time and most importantly have fun with it
i found this video while sitting really upset. my parents just said 'what art do you do, you cant even hold a paintbrush correctly'. because three years spent teaching myself to draw in a mediocre way, with no human tutor; just youtube; was nothing, was worth nothing. thanks for the vid, mate.
I can relate a lot on being on a non supportive enviroment, where peoople want to guide your hobbies, your studies, your life basically, and even if these come from a place where they want the best for you, it often happens very out of touch and forget that you are your own human being with its own likes and interests, i really hope you can still find joy in what you do and not let people guide the fate you want to set for yourself, stay strong and never stop what you love doing ❤
As someone who's parents raised them to believe that trying doesn't matter and all that matters is your ability to be better than others at everything possible this definitely helped me feel a bit better. My art genuinely is terrible and could never be as good as other people's and im just being honest to myself when I tell myself that but this really helped me feel better about it tho. Thx :)
Thank you very much, when it comes to starting art, does it matter if we are better or worse than "x" artists? I think our focus should rely mostly if not only on how we feel by doing art, not how the success of others makes us feel, it is hard not to compare, specially since social media is full of professionals .. that's why is important to limit your time on places that can make you feel like your worth is lower than it is, as long as you don't stop, you will surprise yourself with how much you'll improve, you will do great so never stop if it gives you joy
the first step to recovering from impostor syndrome is realizing and admitting you have it. I needed this, thank you so much! and I’m subscribed to you now! You’re awesome!
I suffer from imposter syndrome but constantly ignore it. I've been doubting my skills and on how slow I draw compared to others, I feel like I always have to be on my feet to draw faster and faster; when I see people online post art every other day I shame myself and it begins to make art unenjoyable. Like my skill doesn't match my speed. I have to accept I enjoy the art process more when I take my time. I really needed to hear this so thank you.
ignoring the issue, even though i relate because i do the same often, but in moments like this one, you choose not to ignore it and you actually aknowledge it so thats a great way of awareness even if is not as often, comparing yourself to others happens very often so playing to your strenghts and what you enjoy creating, so no matter how mixed feelings you deal with, you can know that you at least can enjoy the process, improvement will come overtime and experience so i really hope you can push throught these feelings and being aware of them will help you be more active in finding things to do about it, to make it better! also be careful with stressing out about speed, some people create complex art in minutes, but others create simple art in weeks, fast or slow doestn mean good or bad, is just depends on the person, it really does I wish you all the best overall and that you can find joy in making what you love ❤
Hah I'm glad my video is reaching out people, thank you for watching Also I'm glad to hear you do take the breaks you need for as long as you know you need
Allowing myself to be happy is prob hardest thing for me to overcome. No matter what i do, this psych block works so damn hard each time, like i try to think otherwise but brain just flips the switch and that's it. Feeling lost because of this... So eager to tell the countless tales to everyone, to make something that makes atleast one person remember it after years, as something that made them feel once...
The issue is, I think I don't have it but who knows. Cuz I never won anything from my art, only passing compliments. But are those enough..to make me have impostor syndrome? I don't know. I guess I will forever despise myself. But love art no matter what.
This video helped me have a clearer version of my path. Not comparing myself to others, it made me realize how... WORSE I've become over the years. How I suck even more at... everything.
I understand that the mindset can spiral down to that and worse levels, so please, I mentioned on the video but I'll mention again, treat yourself kindly, you are doing everything you are supposed to, the rest is up to you and time so might as well enjoy the process while you keep going and improving Wishing you the best and thank you for sharing ❤️
immm sobbing ihdhasdjh ive never felt so terrible about the art i made until recently my godd i didnt expect to cry to this video but im kinda glad i did, thank you for spreading this message to all of the artists that need to hear this
I went through this as well, I often used twitter to seek for inspiration from other artists, but then I saw some that could do things that I couldn't, and not being able to do so made me feel bad about my own art Until one day I decided to learn and improve on it, and now I can do things that before I struggle with, like with shading or my line-art And recently, I decided to draw a background for the first time, it was a pain but I could finish the sketch, there were a few mistakes here and there, and it indeed bothers me a bit, but then I remember that I can improve and do better by looking at what I did 5 years ago.
That's a long time, and definitely you can become someone that people would look up to just like you looked up to some artists, when we see only finished products is very easy and normalized to not even consider the amount of work that led to that level, I'm very happy to hear you took the steps to seek improvement and feel much better about your own craft, thank you for sharing!
i think i have this, sadly and this also comes from influence from fake friends i had who would make fun of my art. i feel like i have much definitely improved then i did a year ago. this video has helped me a lot and is encouraging me to do more, be more. this video has genuinely became a big influence on me and my mental health. thank you.
Thank you so much! It is very kind of you, and yes as mentioned on the video, it can be so helpful to be part of communities of like minded people, you could meet many very encouraging friends, I know that some people "roast" friends as a type of humor but some people definitely can't read the room and will cross the line and actually hurt you, I'm very sorry you had to go through that
I'm very proud of you gebbu, I'm glad you are taking steps closer to accepting your own value, and helping me and other artists to move towards the happy goals
I see it so much, I know it hurts so I need to also takes steps, so we can all improve together and never ever be alone in these thoughts, often pushed away simply because we truly believe we have no worth, thank you Lih, let's do our best! ❤️
I'm happy that it helped, I been there and still struggle with it, so I completely understand the feeling, overall if you hear kind words about you or what you do, is kindness non the less so ignoring it or pushing it away might hurt whoever said these things, and I'm sure they mean it so I hope it can get better for you, thank you for sharing ❤️
Thanks for the advice I got that syndrome over four years and still trying to break the anxiety but when I saw you I understand it little by little so it might helpful for me to re study how to draw once again, so thank you And I love hear more advice that might helps me in the future ❤❤❤
oh tahts a long time, i know that it might get worse overtime so im hoping for the best for you and that taking action to change this is working out so far for you, i really hope it gets better, best of luck and stay strong ❤
I feel awful because I don't have energy for art, no time to go and improve, am constantly tired due studies. I'm a self-taught multi-style artist, still unable to find my own style to grow with, so I guess I get sad seeing others grow while I'm just here trying to not break apart 😅
I had such bad imposter syndrome that I had to step back from art for 2+ years. I needed to change my mindset, and learn how to undo all of that. And am now starting to get my art back, but I still need a lot of patience with myself.
The reason i hate my own art is because the art i make is videogames, and in order to make video games i aprove of it takes several years, and by that time i just hate working on that specific one
I can relate to it so much. I have a big issue with inconsistency. On some days I can draw something good and on many days I can't. However, once you engage a community, you set the bar very high there. Am I even allowed to draw something that is not as good as the piece I painted last month? It feeds so much into this syndrome because you start to think that previous works were somehow luck or a fluke. Am I allowed to draw silly doodles instead of full blown out very detailed paintings? Realistically, yes, but there is that one part that says "No" and ruins everything.
That part of you that falls into perfectionism can really kill the joy of creation, using art as a way to draw complex things but also to do small simple things for the fun of it, having the skill of drawing gives us the pressure of performing the best we can, I do understand how you feel, being in an encouraging community is important to share thoughts like this one and realize you are not alone at all in feeling this way, and for all you know, others might feel the same way by seeing your work, so it is important to remind other artists that there's shouldn't be a pressure to turn everything into a competition, and you need to remind one person first, and that's you, once you learn to take art as a way to find joy instead of using it as a way to try to be better than everyone else, it will take a huge load off your shoulders, I really hope you can start to make art for yourself and not the countless eyes around social media Stay strong and I wish you the best, thank you for sharing ❤️
This is a great way to go about it, I personally have social anxiety but for anyone willing to do this, it would be great for their confidence, I'm happy that you overcame those thoughts!
thank you, i have to relearn anatomy monthly or every so months and its that time again because my art devolves if i don't remind myself to do anatomy studies, so i just did some and they just wernt looking at all how i liked them like they were accurate but it just didnt sit right nomatter what i did and i felt so horrid, so to escape i went on youtube to distract the fact i can do art im just not letting myself tell myself that. then when i saw your video its given me a bit more of a confidence boost and see that my anatomy practices are better then i thought and not as bad as i keep hyperfocusing on. i suffer from imposter syndrome nearly everytime i draw and it just sucks becuase i love my drawing and the results but the process is so draining yet i cant stop drawing. so thank you for reminding myself its for me and not others opinions becuase at the end of the day art really is subjective
Is easy to only focus on what you did wrong, ignoring all the things you did right, with imposter syndrome, is impossible to even see that good things exist about our work, also the more you do it and learn, not only anatomy but other things, the more everything will become part of you, because big part of improving art is not the skills themselves but how our eye develop to spot mistakes and have a better sense of what looks wrong and right, so just keep going, have fun and focus on the joy of creation, if you do enjoy technical practices, then please keep doing that too, but allow yourself to enjoy what you do, you are doing great! Thank you so much for sharing ❤️
I was really stressed about myself recently about drawing and I also recently made a mistake of loosing an hour of work in terms to rendering due to unknown export of files or I haven't saved it and lose the progress. And that escalated to a tantrum which my parents weren't as pleased of it. I know that too but I took it very exaggerated and I feel terrible abt it. Idk. I mostly worry about the future. I really want to make a career out of my art and I just don't want to be a burden in my family. I can't help but to pressure myself because of it But thanks for the vid tho❤ I'll try to change behaviors
This was a way too perfect time to find this lmao A reminder to just be kinder to myself ✨ And I really like the way the video was formatted! The artstyle is fun and very expressive❤
I actually needed to hear that today. I’ve been making art for a while and I do love making art I love creating I love drawing I love everything about it. It’s just I keep thinking that I’m not good enough and it became to a point that I had to physically stop but not to stop and take a break it’s because my depression and anxiety was hitting me hard and the imposter syndrome Was getting kind of worse actually it’s been like a few months. I didn’t draw for a while and I think it was because it was linked to that, but after looking at this video and taking the time to remember why I like creating making fun characters creating stories for them it helped me a lot. I think I just needed a little reminder. The negative thoughts will not stop completely. It’s still gonna be there but I can just try to learn how to tell myself that I’m enough that I’m OK. I’m doing good I think I’m gonna take some time before I get back to making art
Thank you so much for sharing and I'm very sorry it's been this way for this long for you, I can relate to those thoughts and it really is important to be around people who care for you or that support what you do, being part of communities that are like minded can make a huge difference, to see that we all are human here and we all deal with so many similar issues too, art should be a skill we use to make things that makes us feel good, the final product shouldn't matter and should only be a reflection of our constantly evolving skill, if that makes sense... So if you don't stop, the skill gets better, so while do it, is much better to focus on ourselves instead of feeling we have to perform constantly, also being alone in this can further spiral down your thoughts about it and make you double down on thinking that way, which makes the issue harder to overcome I truly believe there's ways to make it better and even overcome the issue, but it does take time and active action towards healing, you sharing this and your thoughts is a huge step and sign that you are doing things to make it better, even if it doesn't seem that way, which means you do want these thoughts to go away, so keep going, keep being around the people that matter, and most importantly treat yourself nice, because you deserve to be treated better Thank you for sharing and all the best ❤️
Just finished the video and now I'm sitting here thinking about this like: "Do I have imposter syndrome?", I know I have perfectionism, just that now I thought about the times I think about how I got complimented about my art and even if I say "thank you" or "I really appreciate it" in my mind I really feel that I don't deserve this type of compliments because for me, it's like you said in part of the video, in my mind it's just: "they're just so kind" or "it's just for pity" that at some point it's just "I'll never be good like this artists" I apologize for this long comment, but wow, this made me think a lot in just a few moments, even if I had been pretty happy with my art lately, most of the time I have this kind of thoughts, I'm gonna think about it a little bit more, you did a wonderful video as always Gebs, can't wait to see this type of videos more later; hope you have a wonderful day/afternoon/night! (Again, apologize for the long comment)
Is definitely hard to acknowledge when you are in the middle of it, since imposter syndrome will make you think you don't have it and thinking you don't deserve things is how you should feel, but knowing or being aware that it might be imposter syndrome, is a huge step, perfectionism can be correlated but doesn't necessarily mean they always go together, I been there too and still am with many things, when it comes to being unable to believe people when they say kind things, even if we truly want to believe those words, we can't, and that's exactly what impostor syndrome is, we don't choose to not believe it, we truly feel that way, so is a whole thing to work on, no need to apologize I appreciate you sharing your thoughts and experiences, and same goes to everyone else, we can all learn a lot through each other's experiences, I'm glad that overall you are happy with what you do, thank you so much for sharing dulce ❤️
As an artist who might have imposter syndrome (I might look into it thxs to this video) I need this. I love creating but im never satisfied which is something I'm slowly working on.
it can be imposter syndrome or a number of many things too, like perfectionism as mentioned on the video, in any case, focusing on the process rather than the final product is a good idea, I hope you can find more about what specific issues you deal with, im sure itll get better, i really hope it does at least, best of luck! ❤
Thank you so much! :D Writing is my favorite kind of art, and sometimes I feel like what I write isn't great. But joke's on ME because when I go back and even just TRY to read my old first book I feel SO CRINGY, and I know I've improved a lot! HA HA HA! >:D
its good that only 474 people hate their own art. I'm not an artist btw, I'm a writer and sometimes I like doing concept art for web series and object shows (I haven't worked on any released shows tho. But it's coming out in April or next year) so uh hi guys I also want to let you know that I don't hate any piece of work I do, even if I _do_ get embarrassed about it. I think It'll work in the final cut. As soon as I finish episode 2 of a show, then I might work on things that aren't in the OSC!!! My dream is to get to Glitch Productions and stuff like that.
I'm very happy to hear that you have a healthy relationship with your craft, also writing can be a form of art so we can still learn from each other's experiences Also congratulations on your work getting out next year, sounds very exciting! I wish you the best and that you can achieve the dreams you set to yourself, thank you for sharing ❤️
I don't know if anyone else gets this, but for me it's less the quality and more the control. I don't trust myself to take consistent inititive and I doubt I'd ever be able to take up art as anything more than a hobbie/passion project. I'm fine with that, but it's what I think of when I think of disliking the process. It's not even the process necessarily. It's thinking about how I'll be more consistent or disciplined. If I may share a peice of advice that's served me well, stop thinking so much and just do the thing even if it sucks. At least you'll know.
I have been trying to improve my art for 7 months now but every big drawing i do feels like it's just bad and that everyone else could do better than me, i've been suffering from that alot because i know i have learned but everyone else could do it and i'm just not unique
Everyone is unique, because there's only one "you" we can all do similar things but we all have our own unique path, and eventually you will learn more and discover more, you'll adapt what you do to what you learn and like, and eventually you will have something that no one can replicate, no matter how similar it looks, there's millions or artists out there so we all know techniques and all that, but what you choose to do with these skills is up to, and only up to you, no one else, I really hope it gets better for you, focus on how creating makes you feel rather than the final product, you choose to do art for a reason, so don't forget why you started
I have the inverse problem, I am really really proud of how good my art turns out but feel bad everytime I do. I know it's normal to take pride in your skills and passions, but I just get so guilty seeing my art and go "OMG IT'S BEAUTIFUL" because as if I'm snooty and smug about anything, I know I'm not, but then the thought compels me to work harder to dismiss that idea? Maybe I do have OCD LMAO.
I think the one two punch that killed me was seeing rhe release of Horizon: Zero Dawn. I wanted to do something similar with tech being used as a magic system in a comic id started writing back in highschool. It killed my motivation. I felt like the simi unique idea I had formed was basically ripped out from under me and I just kinda gave up. I still drew a lot and honed my skills but i never really started a big project like that again. Maybe one of these days, inspiration will strike like that again.
I'm always jealous of these youtubers doing these "Learning GAME ENGINE in a WEEK?" And poop out something I could never achieve, even though game dev is my passion I've been working on a Minecraft horror game using datapacks, and despite the massive progress I made it never feels like I truly made it. I feel like I got lucky to have people better than me at specific things help me (programming, Minecraft building), even though I'm still doing most of the work. This project also got me stressed at some point, where I was getting burnt out and overwhelmed, and it caused bad things to happen
First of all, I'm very sorry that you have to deal with so much weighting on you, it must make you feel suffocating and I really hope things get better I think is important to be around people who care for you, and if you feel like no one does or you don't know many people, then is important to place yourself on communities that are supportive and like-minded, you commenting on this video is a way of reaching out, and I'm sure comments like this one can help others that feel the same, because we aren't alone in this, so is a good thing to remind others that there's many of us here and we all are trying to be better and seek happiness I wish you all the best and that you can stay strong and push through, please create for yourself and because doing so makes you feel good, try not to focus on the final product All the best and thank you for sharing ❤️
@ thank you for the motivation ill try my best to get my life back on track as best i can, and maby when i find some help things will get better. your message is verry heartwarming and im glad you took the time to write it, hope your doing better than a im right now- and thanks again.
I don't post my drawings on social media anymore, and if I did I feel anxious And then delete the post Minutes later I only show my work to some of my friends but i don't think it's enough
I had the same mindset as well, and as mentioned on the video, I think is another layer of imposter syndrome, since we aren't choosing to disregard our skill, but we truly are unable to, so accepting it might be imposter syndrome is just a step that can help a lot on this perspective, because it shouldn't be about skill, it should be about how we feel doing it, no matter the skill
Funny, i never had this so called "imposter syndrome" because i don't give a f**k about likes on media social. I just draw because its fun to create something using my hands
You have a great mentality and definitely people should aim to stop carrying about likes on social media, is a huge issue that many people become so dependant on internet engagement I'm happy you create for the joy of it and mainly for yourself
I’m not posting my art but I just sometimes think it is bad like I can’t draw shadows I can’t draw like everyone I can’t draw good that’s what I feel mostly when I see everyone’s art it’s super cool but my art just don’t has any of that and I mostly feel that my art looks bad stupid and like vomit
when it comes to a technicall level, theres only going up as you learn and practice and improve, so the focus should be 100% on what you can do right now to be better, and how its making you feel, assuming you feel good while you draw, not the final product but the process itself, focus on the possitives rather than what others are doing, i really hope it gets better for you, best of luck! ❤
I have question regarding when you said you need to take a break when you start having negative feelings because of it. What if your art needs you negative feels, like it’s stems from it? Because my art is an outlet for all of my emotions.
I make a combination of frame by frame, made with Clip studio paint, and keyframing, made with davinvi resolve (as most of the rest of the editing in the video) glad you like the channel! still learning but will do my best! ❤
I don't think I have this,I drew for the last three years pretty constantly with like,maybe one month breaks every like 5 months,and I still barely improved
oh you mean falling more on the ego side? I think is great to aknoowlegde the issues instead of hiding them, so i think that on itself deserves some praise honestly
@ Not quite. I’m way too confident in my art for the skill level I’m at. I see my flaws yet again and again I want to show it off to my friends. I only have like 1 video on my channel right now, and it’s pretty much just showing off some random art I have. My TH-cam channel is glitching so I can’t even take the video down.
oh i dont think thats a problem, unless you use that confidence to push other people down, if you are not, then i think is great that you feel good about your art, knowing you are improving, knowing that your art can make people happy, like you drawing for friends, i think this is a good thing, when you said problem i assumed you meant ego, but if is not overconfidence used to make others feel bad, then this is not an issue, i think is great you allow yourself to enjoy your craft this much!
I understand thinking this way, and it really depends on how much you been doing it, usually the longer you do it, when you dont see as much improvement then you feel like you arent good, but when you dont have as much experience, then is normal to not know how to do X, Y and Z, if not is implied that you belive that only talent can make people start drawing, and where is fair to say that many people start doing art and are naturally good at it, a bast majority arent, and is mostly skilled bassed But in any case you should draw for yourself, is a hobby so have fun doing it, improvement will come over time anyways so focusing on what matters is best for you Wishing you the best of luck, im sure you are much better than you say you are❤
I like your art and I like you! Thanks a lot for making this video, I sometimes feel some friends of mine don't think they're good enough and sometimes I feel that way myself, it's all part of a process I always say. Anyways, thanks a lot again ... Also you're bald.
It can spread when is normalized among friends, it does happen a lot, I hope you improve about it because you are greater than you give yourself credit for lestuc, thank you for the comment! ❤️
Complaints? Sorry if I didn't understand If you mean that your art doesn't get as much attention as you wished, that's a different topic to discuss overall, but keep doing it for yourself and try to have fun overall!
i think i have something opposite of imposter syndrome. i never actually draw or make any accomplishments, but seeing others do make me believe that i could do it too. i’ve been living in delusion for years, trusting my skills way too much and not actually making anything. i know it’s lame; i have the pressure to make a perfect masterpiece every time i pick up a pen in order to prove myself that i actually AM “good enough,” and every time i fail (duh, i never draw so obviously i can’t get better) i crawl into a pit of shame and do nothing about it other than beating myself up. if i do somehow manage to make a “good” art, i go back into the cycle of living in delusion. i tend to get burned out BEFORE i even start drawing and i hate myself for that 🫠
As someone who intensely suffers from imposter syndrome, I really needed to hear this video, thank you so much.
I'm glad you are aware that imposter syndrome is what you go through, many people can't acknowledge and truly think they are the issue, I wish you the best and that you can overcome this mindset, stay strong ❤️
i dont have imposter syndrome. imposter syndrome implies youre good to begin with.
I had the same thought for years actually, and I mentioned it on the video too, thinking we have it implies we deserve said recognitions, but that's exactly what impostor syndrome is, believing you don't, so accepting we are dealing with it is a first step that can help shift our minds to more healthy paths, if that makes sense, we don't have to acknowledge that we are good, or the best, or whatever, but understanding that imposter syndrome does makes things worse than they should be, there's being humble and there's imposter syndrome
Thank you for your comment I hope that by saying you don't have imposter syndrome you mean you can accept the skill level you are in without it taking a toll on your mental health
Wishing you the best
That's the sentence equivalent of "gaslighting? What's that? Never heard of it."
Yeah and similarly to your example, if someone is being gaslighted and truly believed what they say, they wouldn't think is gaslighting, so yeah I agree, is similar on that regard
Guys Ive found the king of imposter syndrome.
@littlefox_100 and I've just spotted a Kirby fan
Remember that you are breathtaking
*insert obligatory Keanu*
Insert obligatory Keanu " no U are breathtaking" reply
I started going to art school to make my drawing skills better but I always keep comparing to other students there because they more experience than me so always feel bad about myself. All I wanted to say is that I really needed this video and thank you for making it. It means a lot to me ❤
TMNT FAN 🫵 (There’s always someone who will compare your art with YOURS. Admiring your classmates’ art isn’t a bad thing, but it can be damaging when that admiration turns into comparison. Take a break and learn to transform that comparison into admiration! The rise! art style inspired my art A LOT + drawing the 2012 turtles. I study artists I like and look for ways to implement their techniques into my art. Admiration will always lead you to inspiration and success, comparison just drains you. Keep practicing, keep studying, you’ll get where you want someday ❤)
ah im happy that you are actively improving your art, but also i understand that is only natural to see all the others since you are classmates with them, so is hard to just ignore it, i understand, in the meantime i hoipe you can remind yourself how much you are improving and how much you will keep improving as you keep going, you will do great, you already are and im happy for you, this will get better as you keep going, youll see how much you achived, thank you for sharing and i wish you the best of luck!
Thank you. I haven't been drawing for years. Making anything. I am so terrified that it will be bad, that i have stopped doing all of the things i love. I want to do those things, to enjoy them, but i am so horribly afraid. This video helped a lot. Thank you.
a breaks of years happens, many people do need some back to step away in this scale to re evalue and exlore, either other options, because drawing is not for everyone, or to reignite that love for art, im sure you will know when you feel ready but definetly you should start small whenever you come back, to not focus on hoow the art is going to look but to focus on how you felt by drawing, was it fun, relaxing, etc, i think is the best way of starting, not to produce, i wish you the best of luck and i hope you can find joy in drawing again!❤
@Gebs-Art thank you🩵 I will take this advice to heart, I appreciate it deeply
Go have FUN making something MESSY and DO. NOT. WORRY! about if it looks even remotely "nice" or "perfect." Have some fun! :D
I am SUFFERING from imposter syndrome and I NEEDED to hear this cuz I've never looked at how much i improved and how I was constantly judging myself thank you
I'm glad I could remind you to look back and see how much you improved, I wish you all the best and never stop, so you can look back once more in the future and see an even bigger gap and be proud of yourself
I often look at my own art and get jealous of other artists because my skill level isn't as advanced as theirs
It does happen so often and so many people go through the same, I wish for you to stay strong and push through, you are not alone ❤️
Now as negative that is,if looked at in certain way it can be a great motivator
This, but when the artist is younger than me. I'm 25, and here I am feeling inferior to some teenagers... it sucks.
Sameeee. I feel like a jerk for feeling this way, but it sucks to feel so behind everyone.
I don't hate my art, i just see it as inferior to most other artists. I always get that feeling that me and my art ain't worth shit, especially when i look at other people's art. But i try my best to see the good in it, even if i barely get any compliments for my art.
It helps to remember that you're drawing because it's fun. At least, that's how I go at it. I don't do comms because I just hate people. But I don't want art to be a career in my life.
On the other hand, seeing teens online make some seriously good shit tears me down. It makes my inferiority complex explode.
@@excalibur493 realest shit i ever read
@@excalibur493remember that everyone's learning curve is different and you don't have to reach the level of those young artists rn, take your time and most importantly have fun with it
i found this video while sitting really upset. my parents just said 'what art do you do, you cant even hold a paintbrush correctly'. because three years spent teaching myself to draw in a mediocre way, with no human tutor; just youtube; was nothing, was worth nothing. thanks for the vid, mate.
I can relate a lot on being on a non supportive enviroment, where peoople want to guide your hobbies, your studies, your life basically, and even if these come from a place where they want the best for you, it often happens very out of touch and forget that you are your own human being with its own likes and interests, i really hope you can still find joy in what you do and not let people guide the fate you want to set for yourself, stay strong and never stop what you love doing ❤
Yoooo the animated landscape at the end is so cool!!!
The game is called summerhouse, is super cozy and has a pixelated filter too is very relaxing
As someone who's parents raised them to believe that trying doesn't matter and all that matters is your ability to be better than others at everything possible this definitely helped me feel a bit better. My art genuinely is terrible and could never be as good as other people's and im just being honest to myself when I tell myself that but this really helped me feel better about it tho. Thx :)
Thank you very much, when it comes to starting art, does it matter if we are better or worse than "x" artists? I think our focus should rely mostly if not only on how we feel by doing art, not how the success of others makes us feel, it is hard not to compare, specially since social media is full of professionals .. that's why is important to limit your time on places that can make you feel like your worth is lower than it is, as long as you don't stop, you will surprise yourself with how much you'll improve, you will do great so never stop if it gives you joy
the first step to recovering from impostor syndrome is realizing and admitting you have it. I needed this, thank you so much! and I’m subscribed to you now! You’re awesome!
I suffer from imposter syndrome but constantly ignore it. I've been doubting my skills and on how slow I draw compared to others, I feel like I always have to be on my feet to draw faster and faster; when I see people online post art every other day I shame myself and it begins to make art unenjoyable. Like my skill doesn't match my speed. I have to accept I enjoy the art process more when I take my time. I really needed to hear this so thank you.
ignoring the issue, even though i relate because i do the same often, but in moments like this one, you choose not to ignore it and you actually aknowledge it so thats a great way of awareness even if is not as often, comparing yourself to others happens very often so playing to your strenghts and what you enjoy creating, so no matter how mixed feelings you deal with, you can know that you at least can enjoy the process, improvement will come overtime and experience so i really hope you can push throught these feelings and being aware of them will help you be more active in finding things to do about it, to make it better! also be careful with stressing out about speed, some people create complex art in minutes, but others create simple art in weeks, fast or slow doestn mean good or bad, is just depends on the person, it really does
I wish you all the best overall and that you can find joy in making what you love ❤
*scrolling bored af. HOLY SHIT IT'S LITERALLY ME!
Real talk tho, very helpful video! My breaks are usually weeks long lol.
Hah I'm glad my video is reaching out people, thank you for watching
Also I'm glad to hear you do take the breaks you need for as long as you know you need
@Gebs-Art, thanks Gebs! Animating is exhausting, and don't get me started on humanoid anatomy lol.
Animation is definitely so much work hah but is so beautiful too
Sorry it took me so long to see this, but yeah! The satisfaction of a good quality animation is so incredible!
Allowing myself to be happy is prob hardest thing for me to overcome. No matter what i do, this psych block works so damn hard each time, like i try to think otherwise but brain just flips the switch and that's it. Feeling lost because of this...
So eager to tell the countless tales to everyone, to make something that makes atleast one person remember it after years, as something that made them feel once...
The issue is, I think I don't have it but who knows.
Cuz I never won anything from my art, only passing compliments. But are those enough..to make me have impostor syndrome? I don't know.
I guess I will forever despise myself. But love art no matter what.
This video helped me have a clearer version of my path. Not comparing myself to others, it made me realize how... WORSE I've become over the years. How I suck even more at... everything.
I understand that the mindset can spiral down to that and worse levels, so please, I mentioned on the video but I'll mention again, treat yourself kindly, you are doing everything you are supposed to, the rest is up to you and time so might as well enjoy the process while you keep going and improving
Wishing you the best and thank you for sharing ❤️
This video is a digital reassuring hug, 10/10👍
Thank you so much ❤️
@ Ur welcome!
immm sobbing ihdhasdjh ive never felt so terrible about the art i made until recently my godd i didnt expect to cry to this video but im kinda glad i did, thank you for spreading this message to all of the artists that need to hear this
"Comparison is the thief of joy."
100% agreed
I went through this as well, I often used twitter to seek for inspiration from other artists, but then I saw some that could do things that I couldn't, and not being able to do so made me feel bad about my own art
Until one day I decided to learn and improve on it, and now I can do things that before I struggle with, like with shading or my line-art
And recently, I decided to draw a background for the first time, it was a pain but I could finish the sketch, there were a few mistakes here and there, and it indeed bothers me a bit, but then I remember that I can improve and do better by looking at what I did 5 years ago.
That's a long time, and definitely you can become someone that people would look up to just like you looked up to some artists, when we see only finished products is very easy and normalized to not even consider the amount of work that led to that level, I'm very happy to hear you took the steps to seek improvement and feel much better about your own craft, thank you for sharing!
i think i have this, sadly and this also comes from influence from fake friends i had who would make fun of my art. i feel like i have much definitely improved then i did a year ago. this video has helped me a lot and is encouraging me to do more, be more. this video has genuinely became a big influence on me and my mental health. thank you.
Thank you so much! It is very kind of you, and yes as mentioned on the video, it can be so helpful to be part of communities of like minded people, you could meet many very encouraging friends, I know that some people "roast" friends as a type of humor but some people definitely can't read the room and will cross the line and actually hurt you, I'm very sorry you had to go through that
I'm very proud of you gebbu, I'm glad you are taking steps closer to accepting your own value, and helping me and other artists to move towards the happy goals
I see it so much, I know it hurts so I need to also takes steps, so we can all improve together and never ever be alone in these thoughts, often pushed away simply because we truly believe we have no worth, thank you Lih, let's do our best! ❤️
Omg Ty I have been feeling like iam not good enough, and I often feel like the love I get is not real and tbh I hate that feeling. This video helped.
I'm happy that it helped, I been there and still struggle with it, so I completely understand the feeling, overall if you hear kind words about you or what you do, is kindness non the less so ignoring it or pushing it away might hurt whoever said these things, and I'm sure they mean it so I hope it can get better for you, thank you for sharing ❤️
@ thanks man iam definitely getting better
Thanks for the advice I got that syndrome over four years and still trying to break the anxiety but when I saw you I understand it little by little so it might helpful for me to re study how to draw once again, so thank you
And I love hear more advice that might helps me in the future ❤❤❤
oh tahts a long time, i know that it might get worse overtime so im hoping for the best for you and that taking action to change this is working out so far for you, i really hope it gets better, best of luck and stay strong ❤
I feel awful because I don't have energy for art, no time to go and improve, am constantly tired due studies. I'm a self-taught multi-style artist, still unable to find my own style to grow with, so I guess I get sad seeing others grow while I'm just here trying to not break apart 😅
Haven’t heard your voice in a long while and I needed to hear this from you
I'm glad the video helped, you knew me from before? I'm surprised hah
The editing and message of this video is so awesome
Thank you I needed this
I'm happy you enjoyed it thank you so much ❤️
Thank you so much for this! I have been doubting my art for so long and it really helped!
I'm happy that the video helped a little, I wish you the best, keep doing what you love
I had such bad imposter syndrome that I had to step back from art for 2+ years. I needed to change my mindset, and learn how to undo all of that. And am now starting to get my art back, but I still need a lot of patience with myself.
The reason i hate my own art is because the art i make is videogames, and in order to make video games i aprove of it takes several years, and by that time i just hate working on that specific one
Your art style on this video is amazing !
What a sweet video, thanks for your words ! 🙏🏽
Thank you so much!!! ❤️
Thank you , i really deeply needed to hear that.
I can relate to it so much. I have a big issue with inconsistency. On some days I can draw something good and on many days I can't. However, once you engage a community, you set the bar very high there. Am I even allowed to draw something that is not as good as the piece I painted last month? It feeds so much into this syndrome because you start to think that previous works were somehow luck or a fluke. Am I allowed to draw silly doodles instead of full blown out very detailed paintings? Realistically, yes, but there is that one part that says "No" and ruins everything.
That part of you that falls into perfectionism can really kill the joy of creation, using art as a way to draw complex things but also to do small simple things for the fun of it, having the skill of drawing gives us the pressure of performing the best we can, I do understand how you feel, being in an encouraging community is important to share thoughts like this one and realize you are not alone at all in feeling this way, and for all you know, others might feel the same way by seeing your work, so it is important to remind other artists that there's shouldn't be a pressure to turn everything into a competition, and you need to remind one person first, and that's you, once you learn to take art as a way to find joy instead of using it as a way to try to be better than everyone else, it will take a huge load off your shoulders, I really hope you can start to make art for yourself and not the countless eyes around social media
Stay strong and I wish you the best, thank you for sharing ❤️
This was me 2 years ago :,)
Now I am starting to draw in public so I can get used to not knocking myself down and it does really help out!
This is a great way to go about it, I personally have social anxiety but for anyone willing to do this, it would be great for their confidence, I'm happy that you overcame those thoughts!
thank you, i have to relearn anatomy monthly or every so months and its that time again because my art devolves if i don't remind myself to do anatomy studies, so i just did some and they just wernt looking at all how i liked them like they were accurate but it just didnt sit right nomatter what i did and i felt so horrid, so to escape i went on youtube to distract the fact i can do art im just not letting myself tell myself that. then when i saw your video its given me a bit more of a confidence boost and see that my anatomy practices are better then i thought and not as bad as i keep hyperfocusing on. i suffer from imposter syndrome nearly everytime i draw and it just sucks becuase i love my drawing and the results but the process is so draining yet i cant stop drawing. so thank you for reminding myself its for me and not others opinions becuase at the end of the day art really is subjective
Is easy to only focus on what you did wrong, ignoring all the things you did right, with imposter syndrome, is impossible to even see that good things exist about our work, also the more you do it and learn, not only anatomy but other things, the more everything will become part of you, because big part of improving art is not the skills themselves but how our eye develop to spot mistakes and have a better sense of what looks wrong and right, so just keep going, have fun and focus on the joy of creation, if you do enjoy technical practices, then please keep doing that too, but allow yourself to enjoy what you do, you are doing great! Thank you so much for sharing ❤️
I really needed to hear this
Currently going through a bit of art-block myself. This really helped.
I really hope you can get over this block, give yourself time and treat yourself nice too ❤️
I was really stressed about myself recently about drawing and I also recently made a mistake of loosing an hour of work in terms to rendering due to unknown export of files or I haven't saved it and lose the progress. And that escalated to a tantrum which my parents weren't as pleased of it. I know that too but I took it very exaggerated and I feel terrible abt it. Idk. I mostly worry about the future. I really want to make a career out of my art and I just don't want to be a burden in my family. I can't help but to pressure myself because of it But thanks for the vid tho❤ I'll try to change behaviors
This was a way too perfect time to find this lmao
A reminder to just be kinder to myself ✨
And I really like the way the video was formatted! The artstyle is fun and very expressive❤
Thank you so much! ❤️
Glad you enjoyed the video and happy that you too took my reminder, always treat yourself nice because you deserve better
It's funny that TH-cam recommended this video to me just when I was feeling down about my art and I thought no one liked it.
Bro..ty almost made me cry
Ahh I'm happy you enjoyed the video ❤️
I actually needed to hear that today. I’ve been making art for a while and I do love making art I love creating I love drawing I love everything about it. It’s just I keep thinking that I’m not good enough and it became to a point that I had to physically stop but not to stop and take a break it’s because my depression and anxiety was hitting me hard and the imposter syndrome Was getting kind of worse actually it’s been like a few months. I didn’t draw for a while and I think it was because it was linked to that, but after looking at this video and taking the time to remember why I like creating making fun characters creating stories for them it helped me a lot. I think I just needed a little reminder. The negative thoughts will not stop completely. It’s still gonna be there but I can just try to learn how to tell myself that I’m enough that I’m OK. I’m doing good I think I’m gonna take some time before I get back to making art
Thank you so much for sharing and I'm very sorry it's been this way for this long for you, I can relate to those thoughts and it really is important to be around people who care for you or that support what you do, being part of communities that are like minded can make a huge difference, to see that we all are human here and we all deal with so many similar issues too, art should be a skill we use to make things that makes us feel good, the final product shouldn't matter and should only be a reflection of our constantly evolving skill, if that makes sense... So if you don't stop, the skill gets better, so while do it, is much better to focus on ourselves instead of feeling we have to perform constantly, also being alone in this can further spiral down your thoughts about it and make you double down on thinking that way, which makes the issue harder to overcome
I truly believe there's ways to make it better and even overcome the issue, but it does take time and active action towards healing, you sharing this and your thoughts is a huge step and sign that you are doing things to make it better, even if it doesn't seem that way, which means you do want these thoughts to go away, so keep going, keep being around the people that matter, and most importantly treat yourself nice, because you deserve to be treated better
Thank you for sharing and all the best ❤️
Just finished the video and now I'm sitting here thinking about this like: "Do I have imposter syndrome?", I know I have perfectionism, just that now I thought about the times I think about how I got complimented about my art and even if I say "thank you" or "I really appreciate it" in my mind I really feel that I don't deserve this type of compliments because for me, it's like you said in part of the video, in my mind it's just: "they're just so kind" or "it's just for pity" that at some point it's just "I'll never be good like this artists" I apologize for this long comment, but wow, this made me think a lot in just a few moments, even if I had been pretty happy with my art lately, most of the time I have this kind of thoughts, I'm gonna think about it a little bit more, you did a wonderful video as always Gebs, can't wait to see this type of videos more later; hope you have a wonderful day/afternoon/night! (Again, apologize for the long comment)
Is definitely hard to acknowledge when you are in the middle of it, since imposter syndrome will make you think you don't have it and thinking you don't deserve things is how you should feel, but knowing or being aware that it might be imposter syndrome, is a huge step, perfectionism can be correlated but doesn't necessarily mean they always go together, I been there too and still am with many things, when it comes to being unable to believe people when they say kind things, even if we truly want to believe those words, we can't, and that's exactly what impostor syndrome is, we don't choose to not believe it, we truly feel that way, so is a whole thing to work on, no need to apologize I appreciate you sharing your thoughts and experiences, and same goes to everyone else, we can all learn a lot through each other's experiences, I'm glad that overall you are happy with what you do, thank you so much for sharing dulce ❤️
I actually like my art but ive been there before and i ever go back to that ill watch this again
I'm happy to hear you no longer have thoughts that push you down!
Thank you,this helps a lot :)
❤️
your very underrated! thank you!
Ahh thank you so much! ❤️
As an artist who might have imposter syndrome (I might look into it thxs to this video) I need this. I love creating but im never satisfied which is something I'm slowly working on.
it can be imposter syndrome or a number of many things too, like perfectionism as mentioned on the video, in any case, focusing on the process rather than the final product is a good idea, I hope you can find more about what specific issues you deal with, im sure itll get better, i really hope it does at least, best of luck! ❤
@Gebs-Art thxs
Thank you so much! :D
Writing is my favorite kind of art, and sometimes I feel like what I write isn't great.
But joke's on ME because when I go back and even just TRY to read my old first book I feel SO CRINGY, and I know I've improved a lot! HA HA HA! >:D
Thank you so much !
❤
I still don’t know how to shade or color and I don’t think I ever will.
Thanks for the video man, I really need it.....
You are never alone with this, stay strong ❤️
These animations are awesome.
cool art dude ur colours go hard
thank you so much!❤ im a fan of contrast haha
its good that only 474 people hate their own art. I'm not an artist btw, I'm a writer and sometimes I like doing concept art for web series and object shows (I haven't worked on any released shows tho. But it's coming out in April or next year)
so uh
hi guys
I also want to let you know that I don't hate any piece of work I do, even if I _do_ get embarrassed about it. I think It'll work in the final cut.
As soon as I finish episode 2 of a show, then I might work on things that aren't in the OSC!!! My dream is to get to Glitch Productions and stuff like that.
I'm very happy to hear that you have a healthy relationship with your craft, also writing can be a form of art so we can still learn from each other's experiences
Also congratulations on your work getting out next year, sounds very exciting!
I wish you the best and that you can achieve the dreams you set to yourself, thank you for sharing ❤️
I don't know if anyone else gets this, but for me it's less the quality and more the control. I don't trust myself to take consistent inititive and I doubt I'd ever be able to take up art as anything more than a hobbie/passion project. I'm fine with that, but it's what I think of when I think of disliking the process. It's not even the process necessarily. It's thinking about how I'll be more consistent or disciplined. If I may share a peice of advice that's served me well, stop thinking so much and just do the thing even if it sucks. At least you'll know.
I have been trying to improve my art for 7 months now but every big drawing i do feels like it's just bad and that everyone else could do better than me, i've been suffering from that alot because i know i have learned but everyone else could do it and i'm just not unique
Everyone is unique, because there's only one "you" we can all do similar things but we all have our own unique path, and eventually you will learn more and discover more, you'll adapt what you do to what you learn and like, and eventually you will have something that no one can replicate, no matter how similar it looks, there's millions or artists out there so we all know techniques and all that, but what you choose to do with these skills is up to, and only up to you, no one else, I really hope it gets better for you, focus on how creating makes you feel rather than the final product, you choose to do art for a reason, so don't forget why you started
I have the inverse problem, I am really really proud of how good my art turns out but feel bad everytime I do. I know it's normal to take pride in your skills and passions, but I just get so guilty seeing my art and go "OMG IT'S BEAUTIFUL" because as if I'm snooty and smug about anything, I know I'm not, but then the thought compels me to work harder to dismiss that idea? Maybe I do have OCD LMAO.
I think the one two punch that killed me was seeing rhe release of Horizon: Zero Dawn. I wanted to do something similar with tech being used as a magic system in a comic id started writing back in highschool. It killed my motivation. I felt like the simi unique idea I had formed was basically ripped out from under me and I just kinda gave up. I still drew a lot and honed my skills but i never really started a big project like that again. Maybe one of these days, inspiration will strike like that again.
Thanks, I needed is
❤️
My personal trick that works for me is to compare my art with miself from the past
Well, I think I kinda got that, when I heard 2 times from 2 different people, that my art is like from 10 years old. And I'm 17!
This helps. Thanks.:)
❤️
I'm always jealous of these youtubers doing these "Learning GAME ENGINE in a WEEK?" And poop out something I could never achieve, even though game dev is my passion
I've been working on a Minecraft horror game using datapacks, and despite the massive progress I made it never feels like I truly made it. I feel like I got lucky to have people better than me at specific things help me (programming, Minecraft building), even though I'm still doing most of the work.
This project also got me stressed at some point, where I was getting burnt out and overwhelmed, and it caused bad things to happen
sigh* what if i said i had impostor syndrome am a perfectionist and have depression, and nothing has helped yet?
First of all, I'm very sorry that you have to deal with so much weighting on you, it must make you feel suffocating and I really hope things get better
I think is important to be around people who care for you, and if you feel like no one does or you don't know many people, then is important to place yourself on communities that are supportive and like-minded, you commenting on this video is a way of reaching out, and I'm sure comments like this one can help others that feel the same, because we aren't alone in this, so is a good thing to remind others that there's many of us here and we all are trying to be better and seek happiness
I wish you all the best and that you can stay strong and push through, please create for yourself and because doing so makes you feel good, try not to focus on the final product
All the best and thank you for sharing ❤️
@ thank you for the motivation ill try my best to get my life back on track as best i can, and maby when i find some help things will get better. your message is verry heartwarming and im glad you took the time to write it, hope your doing better than a im right now- and thanks again.
I don't post my drawings on social media anymore, and if I did I feel anxious And then delete the post Minutes later
I only show my work to some of my friends but i don't think it's enough
I would say this is me, but this implies I had skill to begin with
I had the same mindset as well, and as mentioned on the video, I think is another layer of imposter syndrome, since we aren't choosing to disregard our skill, but we truly are unable to, so accepting it might be imposter syndrome is just a step that can help a lot on this perspective, because it shouldn't be about skill, it should be about how we feel doing it, no matter the skill
Most times I give up drawing a thing when I'm done with the base
I think I might take a small break fellas
Funny, i never had this so called "imposter syndrome" because i don't give a f**k about likes on media social. I just draw because its fun to create something using my hands
You have a great mentality and definitely people should aim to stop carrying about likes on social media, is a huge issue that many people become so dependant on internet engagement
I'm happy you create for the joy of it and mainly for yourself
thanks
❤️
I’m not posting my art but I just sometimes think it is bad like I can’t draw shadows I can’t draw like everyone I can’t draw good that’s what I feel mostly when I see everyone’s art it’s super cool but my art just don’t has any of that and I mostly feel that my art looks bad stupid and like vomit
when it comes to a technicall level, theres only going up as you learn and practice and improve, so the focus should be 100% on what you can do right now to be better, and how its making you feel, assuming you feel good while you draw, not the final product but the process itself, focus on the possitives rather than what others are doing, i really hope it gets better for you, best of luck! ❤
I have question regarding when you said you need to take a break when you start having negative feelings because of it. What if your art needs you negative feels, like it’s stems from it? Because my art is an outlet for all of my emotions.
Wow incredible you have answered to everyone.. Can I ask you a thing?
My art is OBJECTIVELY bad. If I manage to draw something decent it's usually on accident and not because of skill
What would you say for a person who knows that they are capable of what they do, but they dont have passion for what they’re doing?
💜💜💜

4:12 SQUID GAME REFERENCE🗣‼‼
What software do you use to animate? Really cool channel btw!
I make a combination of frame by frame, made with Clip studio paint, and keyframing, made with davinvi resolve (as most of the rest of the editing in the video) glad you like the channel! still learning but will do my best! ❤
I don't think I have this,I drew for the last three years pretty constantly with like,maybe one month breaks every like 5 months,and I still barely improved
Guys I have same problem in reverse.
(I deleted my previous comment for venting too much, sorry.)
oh you mean falling more on the ego side? I think is great to aknoowlegde the issues instead of hiding them, so i think that on itself deserves some praise honestly
@ Not quite. I’m way too confident in my art for the skill level I’m at. I see my flaws yet again and again I want to show it off to my friends. I only have like 1 video on my channel right now, and it’s pretty much just showing off some random art I have. My TH-cam channel is glitching so I can’t even take the video down.
oh i dont think thats a problem, unless you use that confidence to push other people down, if you are not, then i think is great that you feel good about your art, knowing you are improving, knowing that your art can make people happy, like you drawing for friends, i think this is a good thing, when you said problem i assumed you meant ego, but if is not overconfidence used to make others feel bad, then this is not an issue, i think is great you allow yourself to enjoy your craft this much!
@ thank you. I try not to use it to push people down. I think it kinda does, but I really try not to.
4:46 The Joy of Creation!?😱💀

Nah my art is just shit
I understand thinking this way, and it really depends on how much you been doing it, usually the longer you do it, when you dont see as much improvement then you feel like you arent good, but when you dont have as much experience, then is normal to not know how to do X, Y and Z, if not is implied that you belive that only talent can make people start drawing, and where is fair to say that many people start doing art and are naturally good at it, a bast majority arent, and is mostly skilled bassed
But in any case you should draw for yourself, is a hobby so have fun doing it, improvement will come over time anyways so focusing on what matters is best for you
Wishing you the best of luck, im sure you are much better than you say you are❤
Name of brush?
I like your art and I like you! Thanks a lot for making this video, I sometimes feel some friends of mine don't think they're good enough and sometimes I feel that way myself, it's all part of a process I always say. Anyways, thanks a lot again ... Also you're bald.
It can spread when is normalized among friends, it does happen a lot, I hope you improve about it because you are greater than you give yourself credit for lestuc, thank you for the comment! ❤️

Impostor syndrome? Dunno man, sounds kinda sus to me.
I'm actually surprised I didn't do an among us reference in the video
I eat your art >:)
I hope you don't get stomach ache
I don’t get the complaints or likes to begin with 😂
Complaints? Sorry if I didn't understand
If you mean that your art doesn't get as much attention as you wished, that's a different topic to discuss overall, but keep doing it for yourself and try to have fun overall!
Impostor syndrome?🤨 Sounds really susy.

First
i think i have something opposite of imposter syndrome. i never actually draw or make any accomplishments, but seeing others do make me believe that i could do it too. i’ve been living in delusion for years, trusting my skills way too much and not actually making anything. i know it’s lame; i have the pressure to make a perfect masterpiece every time i pick up a pen in order to prove myself that i actually AM “good enough,” and every time i fail (duh, i never draw so obviously i can’t get better) i crawl into a pit of shame and do nothing about it other than beating myself up. if i do somehow manage to make a “good” art, i go back into the cycle of living in delusion. i tend to get burned out BEFORE i even start drawing and i hate myself for that 🫠
