Trent: It's all done in 2.5 hours.
Me: Finish a character's left eyebrow in 2.5 months.
I started trying to make quick stuff a few hours per piece, I mostly fixed that by stopping to zoom in to pixels to do details, do as much as you can with fit to screen xD but that's me
Sylveser Lazarus lmfaoooo truee
Wow! That's my comment form 2 years ago, lol!
Must be a really nice eyebrow
"Looking at your piece like 'this sucks, it's never going to be good enough' well get used to that feeling because it's never going away"
I died
Well, prepare to die every time you remember this quote because that's true. It's not by chance that "impostor syndrome" is a thing, it's exactly that. No matter how good you are, this feeling never goes away.
@@renookami4651 eh, I mean, maybe it's me getting help, but the impostor syndrome is getting better, not having those flashes as often
@@renookami4651 how do you know are you a pro?
But for me it is: whoa this drawing is looking cool! Then when I finish it, is the ugliest thing ever...
If you want to do comics fast don't do three pages a day. Do batch editing instead. Sketch all 40 pages -> lineart all, shade all, letter all. Much faster.
Very true.
And will produce a much more consistent stylization.
All in one day O: xD
@@antiRuka all in 2.5hs
Similar ideology to game development as well (specifically programming imc). I know plenty developers, including myself, who worry about trying to 'perfect' something on first iteration, rather than continue development. Rough sketch everything -> Touch up after.
1. The worst thing you can do is think that the painting you're working on is important
2. The important part is that you're learning something, growing, challenging yourself, and learn to finish projects.
Whoa did I need this! Thank you for the tips
This hits home. For every goal, not just art. For my hobbies i gave myself unlimited time to appease an unhealthy perfectionism when younger. I took unlimited time to do them and ended up procrastinating with easy things like video games, and that anxiety from not feeling like I could live up to my standard kept me from my real hobbies. Now I set timelimits and if my results aren't right I find out why and channel my perfectionism into motivation to try again and do better next time. Thanks for articulating this so well.
Story of my life.
Thanks for putting it into words.
fight fire with fire. Trade an unhealthy behavior for another.
I fully agree with Trent. However first comes the study piece that might take 10 or 20 hours, then you try to do what you already managed once in half the time. I when i grew up, speed paintings on conceptart.org were the thing and i stagnated for years because i never took the time to really study and just made essentially the same painting over and over for years, because i never took the time to get better. I also never finished pieces for years because of arbitrary time restrictions. Instead working on a piece to 80% then, the next piece to 82% ect.
So to get the reps in and train what you already know, limit your time, but NOT for initially learning to paint something.
Spend 30 hours on painting a hand, but the next time do it in 1-10th of the time.
Trent is touching this: You also have to make the study of what you want to learn, before painting the piece and the evaluation after. You will never learn how to paint a slighly wet snorthog snout if you never take 20 hours to really dig into how the light works on wet rough skin. But once you did something to the best of your ability, don't linger, do it again, faster, to dig it into your brain.
I found out last week however that i can do a colored sketch in less than 1h and it contains the same information like a 5h rendering. - So still i totally agree with Trent, just don't confuse when to hurry up and when to slow down, (like he says).
Parkinson's law is the adage that "work expands so as to fill the time available for its completion".
Good luck ;-)
I felt like you where talking to me personally. Man, always motivating!
“The thing I'm most proud of is being able to finish something. Finishing things is more important than being good at them.”

Student : How to start drawing?
Trent : Layer 68... 268
:D
Kevzik lol. That’s why I make the easy art lessons series:)
*Parkinson's law* is the adage that "work expands so as to fill the time available for its completion".
If something must be done in a year, it'll be done in a year. If it must be done in six months, then it will.
Successful people are often good at removing redundancies from their work-ethic = stay effective.
build a 2 storey concrete house in 1 day, how about that?
Won't the wet concrete umm..... it's still not sturdy for a two storey...I think.
dawniewow Gotta research a way to make concrete compound that can dry that fast, which would probably take years lmao
@@MrOiram46 I only said that because OP said..... nevermind
@@orenji13 it was an okay joke but a bad analogy :/
I've learned the same thing as an employed photo editor. Learned the rules, then figured out what didn’t matter and stopped doing that. Legit each day I go to work my goal is to find something I've been doing that isnt necessary and to discard it from my work flow.
You get really fast doing that!
Very valuable workflow advice! I got faster recently and it all actually started when I recorded my own drawings process frequently. Not only to provide content for my patreon folks but also for analyzing my own progress during the speedpaint edits. I was often surprised about myself how long I took for certain sections or got stuck with the details. So with every new video I learned something new about my own meticulous lineart techniques and how I can refine my work while avoiding the redundant steps.
I was literally about to go procrastinate and play world of warcraft instead of finish a project I recently started. I really needed this. Thanks for all of your content, Trent!
What I really love about Trent is that he talks about the real things the way they are. "When you think: Oh man, it sucks. You know what? Get used to that because it won't never go away"
This is so helpful, the best way to second guess yourself is when you have to send sketches to a client. You want them to somehow see the finished piece, even though it sacrifices the raw creativity of the sketch. I'm definitely going to do more creative sketches in a set amount of time for myself first now, thank you!!
Thank you for those explanations Trent! I do a lot of music production and i love to draw. I can absolutely relate to the feeling of "this project ain't good enough" or "nah, let's just start a new project" instead of finishing the last one. Like you said, it's like a trap from which you have to escape and learn to deal with that feeling of "not doing enough" or even "failure" when finishing a project. The main point is to finish the project and grow because of the things you could've done better. The struggle is real 😄Cheers
"It's get shit done pilot" really gets me. Thnx for this video!
Man I needed this. Gonna try changing my mindset to "get shit done fast" mode instead of "eternal doubt, fix everything, study" mode. Cuz I am doing sheet of nine character varations for a month now...
Dude, I just found your channel because of this particular video and I just wanna thank you for saying those things about being an artist and stuff. Since my dad passed away (2 years back) I'm not able to draw and make art like I used to, I get mad or impacient during the process of starting a draw, so while I was watching this video I almost cried. It really means something to me. Thank you for opening my eyes.
This is such great advice! I get way too stuck in many of these traps, thinking "this piece has to be perfect" or "I'm gonna work on this for as long as it takes." I also have a tremendous amount of unfinished projects.
Really good advises, I was feeling stuck these weeks, like, I was drawing portraits, got bored, drawing with copic markers, bored, pentel brushpens, bored, character design, bored, watercolor, bored, i was in limbo, then I stumbled on your video and man it was useful. Thanks!
man you are a monster, thanks for the video! I have lots of drawings to do for work and seeing you have done such a master piece in 2,5 hours inspires me to do more quick mines
Layers for life!
I always love to see vids like these from the sketch to the end , it really motivates you
I'm setting this as a homepage.
Thank you very much for this video Trent
"Snorthog don't give a shit, man, he already knows what he is!"
This video is an amazing pep-talk, and I think I just need to listen to this every time I start anything. Thank you for making this.
What I love the most about these types of videos he does, is that they don't apply to just concept artists, or even artists in general. The lessons he gives us are applicable to most creative fields, whether you're an artist, 3D modeler, programmer, chef, etc.
Oh, yes! Thank you so very much, Trent! This is exactly what I needed to hear. Going to work tonight!
Trent your expertise and professionalism in concept art is very very much realistic. You are basically an artist with really a lot of knowledge about industry. Harsh truths about industries and life itself. Your podcasts and streams are really very inspiring, motivating, and so much helpful. Thank you for your contribution in community.
There couldn’t be a better moment to discover your channel and this video in particular...
You’re true godsend, thank you 🙏
I planned to finish a series of drawings for months, and thanks to this video I finish today! Thank you so much!!
Great advices, really informative video as always.
I've got 2 styles of creating art - "Time-focus" and "Quality-focus", so every time I start a new painting I ask myself which way should I go.
With time in mind, I set a certain amount of time for drawing (from 10 mins to couple of hours) and I draw roughly just to get the basic shape done as quickly as possible, then I add more and more details until the time is up. I use this technique mostly for practice or when I have to create something really quick (for example sketch out my ideas).
But when time is not a problem I concentrate more on the quality, planning every single step of my drawing before and making sure that every detail seems correct in my mind. Once it's done, I begin with a careful and precise sketch, slowly going further into details. I do these usually for clients.
And when there's a lot of work to do in a short period of time, I'm trying to get the best of both worlds :) It's the best way to improve for me.
Dear Trent, thank you for everything you are doing/have done. You are a great guy and honest. You always get to the point.
Thank you, again.
great vid. I was just talking with a student today about setting tighter deadlines to get stuff done in rather than leaving an open finish time... but you explained it much better.
This is seriously inspirational. Exactly what I needed.
Loving this on edge, under quarantine extra dgaf Trent lately. Keep em coming!
Dude this is my favorite video of yours, im going to try this tonight
to get things done impossibly fast, give yourself an impossible goal....I like that!
I feel you man, definitely gonna try this out, sometimes i get caught up in this perfection cicle to write my stuff, reaching a point that i procrastinate so much that i skip my goal entirely.
Same as reading, when you reach that auto-pilot mode and develop the habit everything just flows naturally .
Thanks for this video I'm 17 and I only started digital drawing 5 days ago and I started slacking. I'm known to give up and I'm quite lazy. I told my sister to come see my dragons one from the second day and the other from now she was so shocked from the Change and beauty she now doing digital art to. Tho there no excuse I can make anymore to not finish a work. I draw everyday all day(with breaks) now im setting time limits on how fast i need to finish my drawing and see what exactly I can improve on again thank you for this video. Teaching a noob like me lol.
I cannot tell you how much I have been inspire by your work Trent Kanuiga. I have drawn while watching your videos, thought up character concepts and done so much work and have made so much progression in my work as an artist. I'm just about comfortable with putting myself out there as a graphic designer, and a lot of that confidence has been built by the tips you've given on your TH-cam channel. Thanks!
Hey Trent! I’m just amazed by the variety and profoundness of the topics you discussing on your videos. I’ve been here a while and I feel like there should be nothing interesting left about artist’s life, all possible themes were dug up and dissected. But each time you came up with something new, relevant and helpful. That’s amazing! love your channel a lot❤️
You broke this down incredibly well Trent. Breaking that perfectionist/procrastinating mindset is so hard. And even when I do it for a day I find mind self slipping back into this state of being a perfectionist. I'm just going to keep this video on repeat so I can focus on getting stuff done lol. Thank you and good luck on your projects!
Thank you for the wise and inspiring words. Love your work dude.
Your advice is spot on. Needed to hear it.
Really inspiring video Trent thanks! 👍
for me personally, this is by far the best of your video. Thanks, man
The timing of this video was perfect! Thank you
I've watched a lot of your videos and most have been very helpful, in various fields and to various degrees but for some reason, this one really hit the spot. I'm not sure how or why exactly, both from the technical standpoint (watching your workflow and tips) and also the mindset. All of the things you said I completely agree with and say to myself as well but for some reason always end up procrastinating or finding an excuse or something along those lines. As if the moment I acknowledge something, it fleetingly disappears within a day, if it makes sense hah. But I watched this, sat down, kicked obsessive perfectionism in the teeth and shooed it away, laid back and just... started painting. More relaxed than I have in a while, months really. And I did a creature design from scratch, in about 3 hours, which not only turned out great and made some technical breakthroughs, but also breached some "mind barriers" I've imposed on myself. It felt damn good and now knowing that I can produce a decent image in a night, some of my goals feel more real and achievable, if it makes sense. Long meandering post over, point being - video really hit home and gave me a much needed boost at the exact right moment. Now to just to turn it into a habit and not let it slip away hah.
Great video, just what I needed to hear, I get so hung up on pictures like "This has to be perfect" or "I don't want to have wasted my time" but I gotta learn just to move on and keep going.
I always find your videos so helpful and inspirational. you’re so practical , I love that :) i Get stuck in my head a lot , I overthink a project and I end up never finishing it. I think to myself I need to learn more first, but I forget that you learn through practice. Always appreciate these videos, keep it up ,and I love your art
"Sell a million books, get an MMO"
Sheesh. I usually only watch timelapses to enjoy the process, but you sir speaking straight facts like a total boss. Subscribed with a bell. You got me really motivated ngl.
One of the rawest art vids yet
Great Mindset, great Input!
I don't know why but this video inspires me more than any other video on art I have ever seen. I come back to it from time to time just to remind myself of what art is about and how to do more without it being a hasle. Thank you Trent.
Great video Trent! Always one of my weekly highlights to see a vid of you pop up on my sub feed. Ciao cya next week :)
“Snort Hog don’t give a shit”! Half of my sketch book is me opening it and saying that.
Feels great to watch your drawing process 👍👍
i’ve already watched a lot of your videos and i just wanna say.. there is something in your voice and the way you talk that makes me wanna listen more. and that helps a lot because your topics are great, there’s so much information. i learn by listening, and at the same time i also pick up things on how you create your art by watching! man more power to you! i wish i have someone of your caliber to tell me what my next step would be. cheers!!
Your first artbook is awesome!!! Super excited for number 2
How many times I watched this video when procrastinating or on the beginning of a working day. This is so motivating and effective advice for me so thank you 🌞
I like it when Trent goes full motivation in a video
This is incredibly true. I was making a concept of a soldier and only in the front view of the helmet I lasted about 2 days and I finished the front view the day of the deadline with the entire back without even a sketch. I thought it was impossible but exactly as the video says, when the goal is impossible you enter another state of mind, and I don’t know how, but I finished it in two hours. Sadly, I haven’t been able to replicate this :v.
thank you Trent Kaniuga
"git gud" and "just do it" just leads to me karate chopping my relatively expensive equipment
Thanks for this video. It so happened that I was working on a new character design. I'll finish it as much as I can within 2 hours now :)
I appreciate you so much. I needed to hear this
words of wisdom as always thanks trent!
Wow, this is really inspirational,
Im actually an entrepreneur, not a painter,
Things has been rough for me lately plus the corona situation,
After watching this video i realize i got cought up with the situation, iv been sulking too much to the point that made me unproductive lately
Should've not focus on that shit and just march forward,,
God bless u man for making this!
I’ve used this mindset through university so far. It’s worked pretty well.
Wow straight to the point nice!
Thank you, Trent! Stay safe, you and everyone else!
This is so inspiring
trent one of the best advice's I ever heard in such conscious and comprehended way .. thanks aa lot .. I m a freelance artist with years of work .. and yess I had this issue with my portfolio .. I admit I have this issue that I enter in a loop like something it's never good enough .. or its not so cool how its should be ( in my mind) and I got stuck because of that .. not stuck meaning Im freeze but stuck in the sense IM continuously fixing or re doing and moving like one foot forward per year (exaggerating .. but you know what I mean) .. IM not saying its not good to take a bit of time or distance and chew things a bit .. but somewhere in my case of course mind play tricks .. subconciously you start to think ''this is not good enough .. '' ,oh its a crapp it need more perfection here and there ..'' etc.. it could lead you into a loop ..or a loong process of pain ... :/ get the thing ''done'' no matter what in a limited time is an amazing remedy ..
Congrats on 200K!
you are very talented man i like what you do
"after we got a billion sells on these art books we get that MMO"
I got excited until I went back and realized you said "a Billion"
I actually tried my best to copy this painting in the same amount of time. Learnt a lot!
Omg you are so good! Subscribed
So good! Thank you
Thank you, much needed advise right now.
"snorthog don't give a shit"
Great motivational video man, that's a bitchin painting too!
Pwoah you added so much detail for just over 2hrs 😮

Great tips.
I find myself doing small details and even small character piece take about 6-7 hrs when I can easily do 3
Thank you for this!!
