The "perfect pictures all the time" on social media bit is exactly why I dislike Instagram/social media in general. There's all this pressure to be perfect at what you do or you lose followers. I use gouache and watercolour painting as an outlet for my mental health problems. Art is a life-long passion of mine and everyone on my mother's side is an artist in some degree... so that "gene" or "talent" exists for me. My haraboji is a house painter, my mom drew Korean princesses for me to draw, my sister is a fashion designer, and here I am... the watercolour painter. I feel a lot of pressure from that.
Ah hello friend! I have seen your art and it is absolutely fantastic, but that family pressure to do well (or else) can definitely weigh on you. Thank you for sharing your experience, I actually had no idea you were going through this
For anyone who is worried about "talent", I think one of the best quotes for this was a quote made by basketball player Kevin Durant during his MVP speech. "Hard work beats talent, when talent fails to work hard."
man, i wish someone told me stuff in this video when i struggled. had to figure it out myself, but that way of thinking really is game changing. also talent is not even something 95/100 people have to worry about anyways, yea it helps, but what really matters is the amount of time you put in and your passion
Na-an (only a few seconds into the vdo at the time of this comment) I used to be absolutely positively pathetically bad in art when I was younger. As time went on, I just kept at it, stubbornnesses being part of my “genetics” AND my star! And suddenly my art can be comparable to professionals if I want to make it a profession. But I don’t want it to become a profession. It’s my hobby. I use it to take breaks, to challenge my creativity, to relax my overworking brain (I’m a game designer, my brain never WANTS to rest) and, in general, to just have fun. As a bonus, it’s one of the most loved topics I share with my bestie. So, from an ungifted, untalented in art person- nope, you DON’T need talent or have to be gifted. You need to be steadfast, stubborn, persevere, have willpower to just make it, and loads of practice. You’ll get there. And for all the improvements I’ve done over the years in art, I just can’t tackle colorimg in digital media. My traditional coloring is just fine. I know it has to do with the “usage” of the tools rather than my understanding of color theory. And btw, good topic, CM 👍🏼
It took me two years to get where i am right now in art. Not that good but decent enough to casually draw ocs without hating my drawings. No you dont need talent just free time lol
Art is not about the skill, skill is achieved with time and practice, it's about the passion. Every artist draws differently but what makes them stand out it's their creativity. There are very good artists that can do hyperrealistic art but they have no creativity and I honestly don't vouch for that, cuz art is also about taking our world and put a new refreshing spin on it, making things that don't exist and such
you are making such great videos dude and im shocked you are growing so fast and im so stoked to see you get way up there, keep up the amazing work bro (this is duffy btw on my account i made 13 years ago)
To determine talent look at your inking. I cant ink circles. It sucks everytime. The lines doesnt look straight either with ink and thicker lines just make them look jigsawish
@@celticmanga thanks for responding. I think my lines have become s little bit better but still awful. Circles dont wanna talk about. Straight thin lines look good with smooth fading entres and exits. But to go over a thin line to make it thicker and cover up mistakes only makes it even worse in my honest opinion.
Hello what drawing exercises do you recommend for learning simplify complex 3D structures,by the way your videos are super helpful for keep drawing thanks a lot
Basically, just trace over something and find the underlying 3D form. Don't trace every detail, just the general direction and shape. then after that, draw that same simplified form beside it (without tracing). Ethan Becker's youtube channel has a lot of good stuff on this exact thing you're talking about.

Thanks for this video, I'm starting with art and it was really motivating, even more the Daigo example bc i like fighting games too.

I drew every single day ever since I held a pen and paper in kindergarten. Nobody told me to do it, I just did it.
I’m gonna watch this later to motivate myself, also hella wholesome near the end
You got this!!
Just watched your video on getting started with art, really good vid. Thanks for kickstarting my journey
Awesome and thank you!!! Good luck out there
Liking make art and want to improve is the real talent

That’s a good point. Skill without passion is just soulless, like a product that’s technically “perfect” but not made with love.

Thanks brother!!!! Much, much appreciated 🫡
Well put, my friend.
Another solid ass video.
It's good that you read your videos' comments.
I do what I do!
💙💙💙💙

My lines werent always so smooth, it took a ton of practice (and also re-learning how to do it digitally). Skill, not talent 🫡

You know the entry cuts pattern in to the line ?
what do you mean? “entry cuts pattern into the line”???
@@celticmanga when you redo a line a second time. For me you can see the cute into the line and it forms a Jigsaw look
Yes new videos awesome topic.

you dont need talent to make art. YOU DO need talent however if you want to make good art.
