the unintentional comedey of 2:21 is just too much, I laughed so hard

This video is just great

9:07 this takes me back. When I was still early in my art learning I didn’t take any interest in doing realism, there was this sort of elitist attitude that only good artists did realism and that realism was the fundamentals to any kind of stylization. So for awhile I just didn’t want to learn it or if I was assigned it I’d just assume I’d be bad at it and get it over with as quickly as possible. With the advent of AI and a lot more learning since then my perspective has definitely shifted. I still draw very stylized but I took observing things a bit more seriously and worked on some more consistent anatomy for my characters. I think the biggest thing that AI taught me was that you can’t get as accurate a study from a photo as you can from real life. The way the AIs brain works is it can’t see in 3 dimensions so it struggles with creating the illusion of volume, and cameras tend to flatten 3D objects. So if let’s say a beginner art student asks an AI for photos of hands to study from they aren’t going to get an accurate depiction of a hand and thus how they draw hands will be informed by those photos. I think the most valuable lesson however is this definition my prof gave me. “The Goal of Realism, or Naturalism is to capture life as accurately as possible. The Goal of Stylization is to say something about the world, a topic or how you feel” which speaks very much to Scott Mclouds understanding comics, I’m still obsessed with the book and I think it should be on every artists shelf.

I just want the freedom of my own mind to do whatever and the talent to do it.

i've personally noticed a lot of creative mediums go through a realism phase and once that is achieved slowly move towards a more stylistic phase. it's particularly noticable with video games and movies currently also shooting for realism is a good base to eventually break away from and find your niche

As someone whos not necessarily in the beginning of their art journey but still has beginner skills, this video has inspired me so much! I’ve kinda been on an art slump for the past 2 years, but lately I’ve been really trying to get back into it. This video has inspired me to study the fundamentals again while still trying to keep the emotions that make me love art. So from the bottom of my heart, THANK YOU ❤

What’s the opposite of straw that broke the camel’s back? Because this video managed to finally click something in my brain that had me picking up pencil and paper after some of the worst block of my life

the way i was just * thinking * about this some time ago and youtube just randomly decides to recommend this video?? i agree with everything you say, such a great video! also thanks algorithm gods for reading my mind apparently.

I’m someone who never really studied. If I ever wanted to archive a certain way of drawing, I’d look into it and learn it. It was more important for me to draw out my ocs. Worked perfectly. I found my niche and now I actually enjoy drawing.

That was always the think I hate in hiperrealism it is just boring. It all looks the same,it lacks that artistic interpretation of the think. The real beaty of art is taking already existing elements and creating something new with them, it is the different interpretation of things that makes it unique.

I like realism. I like semi realism. And the more I study realism, the more amazing my art looks in my eyes. I'm not going back. It sucks semi realism has more emotion... I'm changing that.

The Pro thumbnail isn’t a very good example for making your point. It’s just as boring and uninteresting as the beginner realistic thumbnail. Only difference is the style. No offense. 😁

One can be just as creative with realism as any other style. The real problem is not having any real understanding of composition or pictorial design as well as not thinking outside the box. Just stop drawing boring snapshots and draw something that people will actually want to look at. 🙂

It's because of my pursuit of realism that I've always called myself an illustrator rather than an artist. My goal was always to portray a specific character or animal in fine detail and perfect proportion, so that the viewer would know *exactly* what they looked like. When 3d rendering programs became affordable, it was a godsend to me and I immediately began pursuing photographic perfection in lighting and shaders. When I finally achieved that level of realism, I was able to relax and start playing with colors and stylizing things, and now I feel like I may go back to drawing and trying some actual art, going for impact rather than perfect illustration. It's been a bit of a stressful journey at times over the decades but I'm glad I didn't skip any of it.

If its dramatic but doesn't speak what purpose does it hold?

So bless that this video pop up again. This really are relatable to my current state for months. Although i finally found my voice on what kind of art i want, this enhanced that voice

its just like music, never let me tell you that Close to the Edge by YES isn't a musical masterpiece, but you can't deny that as a art piece it lacks more soul in the middle of so many loud sessions of nothing and confusion, at the same time Soon from the same band is one of the most simple songs Yes ever recorded (at least in his psychedelic era) and for me is probably one of the most emotive songs they ever writted... moral of the story: if you prioritize technique over expression the soul of what you are creating can get washed, unclear. Art is about expression of our FEELINGS not our SKILLS, let it be....

I think there's a lot of skill to create the realistic stuff but creatively it's often so boring.

This video is awesome! It's really nice to hear your perspective, cuz I live in the opposite struggle, where I am fully immersed in the whole "drawing on feeling" side of art, but I can't get myself to learn fundamentals. So I 100% agree with your conclusion that somewhere in the middle is a good space to be, since being 100% on the stylization side is cooking me lowkey

To be honest for me the reason why I don’t like realism is that I don’t want to draw something I know and I see every day, I want to draw something unreal, unbelievable and just explore my mind. And that’s why I don’t stick in one art style I explore

Reason because photorealism was so popular before is because there weren't photo. Now when you have photo in your phone. Photorealism almost doesn't make any sence.

I love realism, i could not sit there and painstakingly draw every hair strand, eyelash, all the skin details, i just dont have the patience, it definitely has its place in the art world. In the end tho you should draw what makes you happy! 🥰❤️

if you can't draw realism without reference, you cant draw realism period

3:22 very relatable... I was writing a musical (hopefully can stage it someday)... I was conceptualizing characters and there's an art style in my mind but I keep coming back to making what I'm used to... drawing it the way I do it when I draw realism since I've been drawing it since I was 10 (I'm 22 btw)

I wish you had also mentioned what inspired him to start painting like that after he saw African Masks.

Thank you!!! I'm so so so grateful, to come across this video❤ I didn't feel that inspired since months😢❤

Realism to me is just a craft, a skill you have and can use. Just a realistic copy of a photo is saying nothing. So many times I've seen artists online leaning towards more "professional" look in their work as they aged and their art became more and more boring, sterilised, losing all of my intrest. And yeah at art school, you draw portraits/figures to learn human anatomy, form, light and how to use pencil/graphite/chorcoal. You pain still live to learn how to use different mediums/paints and once again form, volumes, light + how colors affect one another. They're not end products they're just exercises.

I think Picasso's skill highlights that in order to make good non-realistic art, it helps to understand how to do realistic art. Or that you actually have to put the effort into knowing how to do things.

EVERYONE can make abstract art, only very few can paint hyper realistic

When I was doing art for fun, whenever I drew some art my mother would point out mistakes that aren't realistic and say that iam not drawing realistically on purpose (I can kinda draw realism but my mom wanted realism to be my style), timeskip to now, she stopped caring about how I drew and started caring about if I enjoy it or not, meanwhile I got a style that I actually enjoy drawing in and usually make characters of my own for my games, so character development I guess lol

hyper realism is soulless and will only ruin an artist and their sense of depth and proportions. But drawing realistic proportions comes in many shapes and forms, it's not like "ugh I'll get through the boring part to draw cool stylized things!!", drawing by "the rules" is different everywhere and there isn't really an ultimate right approach at all, which makes it more exciting in my opinion. I study by the rules of soviet, or more commonly known as "russian" academism and find european art schools less inspiring. But it could be completely different for everyone. Realism is an inevitable part of an art journey, if you want to be dedicated to art, so make it a fun part, don't overload yourself with styles.

This is beyond beautiful. I've become much wiser now

This video actually helped me a lot to put more depth and get into realism. because I was afraid for the longest time I might lose my style, but it isn't about losing your style it's about improving it, thank you for making me reconsider my approach.

Four years ago I started doing digital art, which was when I started taking art seriously. I wasn't that good back then. Nowadays I'm a lot better and I'm currently writing the script for a crossover web comic while making reference sheets for the characters in there. (Its a crossover between Hazbin Hotel and FNAF and I redesigned the characters). Also when it cut to your speedpaint for your Arkane artwork, the art made me feel emotional because Jinx is not only surrounded by the ghosts of her burdoning guilt, but also shes holding Isa's hat over her ghost. A drawing or painting never made me emotional till I've seen that. Awesome job!

Maybe this video explains the popularity of sorytelling youtubers with a simple and blank OC

Considering that art is supposed to be creative, ive actually never considered realism art. Its a talent but i don't see how its art. Making realistic "art" is like following instructions

awesome.

When I was thirteen I was originally going twords realism, But it wasn't fun for me. And made me feel a lot of anxiety from wanting it to look exact. So I just stopped drawing realism. And went to a art style that I find fun!

14:07 "This is a character, and this is a real person" -- YES! I'm a writer, but if my stories ever get translated onto the screen I want it to be as animation rather than live-action. In fact, this "problem with realism" is one of the main reasons I was drawn to writing spec-fic in the first place. If I write a realistic, contemporary drama set in (for example) Wales then it will only really resonate with people who are familiar with modern Wales -- and even then, only with the specific part of Wales I use as my setting. But a story set in the fictional world of Takshannad with themes of majority and minority cultures in conflict over past injustices... well that's (sadly) a familiar tale all around the world. Because Takshanned is a story, and Wales is a real place.

I've been making art for over 17 years, almost all of it realism. I've been feeling stuck for the past couple of years. I feel highly unsatisfied with my work. My art feels boring to me. I want to do surrealism but ideas just don't come to me, partly because I'm too dependent on references & painting what I see. This video describes my struggles as an artist so well. I'll be watching it multiple times. Thank you.

At first I thought realism was the only way of art when I was young, I grew to dislike to however, and decided to switch to stylistic art.

Man your videos are amazing.... keep going ...I am looking forward to get more from you.

I can fully resonate with you .... copying an image is super easy for me. I always wanted to draw stuff from my imaginations. Now I can and still learning and I love it.

giving advice on how to draw hands is great, but this is just different and so good

Thank you, this video comes at a perfect time in my career and life.

The realism that people should learn from are those from the era before photographs (renaissance, baroque, romanticism, etc.), as their realism consists of design and composition in mind. It's okay to learn realism but learn it from the right source!

3:38 this stage of art has left me in a years long art block besides a handful of practices and studies to makes sure I don’t forget at least the mechanics of art. I’m hoping to sign up for some classes, oil and figure, to get back to the bare bones basics. Figure always messed with my head, idk I’ve had a hard time reading the spacial stuff of anatomy and perspective, making me avoid it a lot

Realism is boring for me. You pretty much see it every day. Ive learned realism to understand more about anatomy and real life. Its nice to draw your friend in realism or lover to catch thier beauty . But post it online , seeing it is pretty boring to look at. just my opinon

I started with drawing anime, then I created a drawing style where I draw realistic proportions, color and shade in a stylized way. Drawing in a stylized way is more fun for me personally, though. I get to experiment with different ways of drawing the same thing.
