Why do so many art videos look the same? 🤨✨ (sit with me, draw with me!)

- think of this as a much kinder uHH conversation than most of my 'i dont like this!' videos MISHJASOA. it's so nice to have so many new artists on youtube, but a lot of the vlogs or videos tend to bleed into each other into one big blob..WHY? why are so many artists young 20 year olds with already established businesses? why do they all have such expensive equipment already? will any of these questions be answered in this video? NO!
i also wanna emphasize (cause i don't think i did in the video) that this is truly not ALL art videos! just a heck of a lot of them. it can be a bit mind numbing to see like 10 'related' videos that just have nearly the exact same video formaT MGOIGHD
check out @SketchBookSkool ! really great videos :-)

I’m actually so glad to see a video regarding young artists and how similar it all feels. Older artists make me feel like I’m actually there for the artist themselves and not just the “aesthetic” of it all. On pintrest I see SOOO many comments under art asking “what style is this?” Or “how can I get this style?” Of course these artists are usually young but the fact it’s sooo many is crazy. Anyways great video! :D
thank you for watching my video! :-) and yeah it feels like a lot of the youngsters are prioritizing style and beauty and iTS LIKE AHH its not all about that!! i feel bad for beginners now its like they can't just make things, it all has to be beautiful off the baT
Something i really hate about those 'cozy art videos' is that the thumbnail or the miniature doesn't even show the art of the artist in question; generally is a pic of the artist, sitting in their desk, in a room really iluminated and 'curated'. To me looks like 'style over substance' or something. Like they had more confidence in the aesthetics than in the art they produced. I love your videos and your art, i think you have your own aesthetic, and that's quite refreshing in these times. Greetings from Argentina ❤
hello! and thank you for watching! haha i was just actually thinking about exactly what you said!! more confidence in aesthetic over the actual work, something i want to avoid in the future! thank u again for watching!
Dude. Yeah ...I noticed on tiktok too , before showing the art they'll show their face etc etc
Something feels off about it but I thought I was just unnecessarily hating.
You expertly balance legit criticism with being a hater. A true inspiration to us all.
(and thanks for making the art and videos that no one else can)
UADHUGSFS THANK UUU thANK UU
i agree with almost everything you said in this video. I've had literal panic attacks about being marketable and likable with my art. Capitalism makes this whole idea of montezing your hobby really attractive and I think it really is about selling you a lifestyle, an aesthetic. Like you can be " soft girl, morning tea, clean desk, organize with me, warm lights,artist who visits the museum with their friends and draws cutesy commissions." And you really hit the nail on the head with the homogeneity of online art. It can drive me crazy sometimes.
im sorry youve had panic attacks!! that should noT be the norm for any artist, i can relate to the fear of figuring out what works and what doesnt. ive posted so many things that im proud of but just doesn't get the reach i'd like, and then someone posts something in the vein of 'cozy artist' and it gets like 50000 likes n then im like FUCK..i shoulda doNE THAT. but its like i would hate everything i made if sO. im an optimist and i truly believe that if artists at the core of it all, stay true to themselves, they will succeed! cause i'd just hate art if i became unrecognizable from the sea of soft girls MFIOSHF but i wish you all the luck!! you can do it, you'll figure it out or something will click. unfortunately that is the cons of being self employed, but not impossible!
@@bananaboi thank youu for your reply!! I want to honor myself and my art by staying true to myself and not slimming myself down to what ever aesthetic of the month look likes.
“Gathered around the mother cow and suckled” HAHAHAH dead. Yeah idk I reccomend the Artcast- it’s a livestream show of artists in their 30-60’s and it rotates on the hosts channels. I also get frustrated with the same middle of the road bland fake ASMR “I’m so organized and tidy” whilst also trying to be quirky- type of video. I think people genuinely think that’s the only way to get views or that views matter.
ooHHH will be checking them out!! ive really been leaning to these older or at least over 25's artists! it bugs me so much to see just 30 of the same kind of videos, its like i kno not all of them are like this i wish they knew taht they could be themselves and still have an audience ( albeit slower in getting the audience but more worth it imo!)
SOOO AGREE ABOUT THE ART STYLE THING! I see this happen so often where like, there's groups of people that all have such similar art styles and it drives me CRAZY. I feel like with social media and this thing of "how to draw in my style!" this has started happening a lot more? It's not inherently bad but it just makes it so that a lot of art on social media feels all very samey... Also this idea that "art style" needs to be consistent is so silly, personally I think not only does art style evolve the more you learn, but also being able to adapt your style to the "vibes" of different pieces or projects is also really good! Anyways. I'm just ranting. Great video! I've been thinking about this lately, art spaces online do truly feel like being in the Twilight Zone sometimes lol.
Edit: "I like being the lactose to the intolerant" fireeeee 🔥🔥🔥
Thank you so much for watching !! And AHH YEAH it def might be the endless tutorials that cause a lot of ppl to dip their pens in the same ink, it truly is not a terrible thing ! but man... JSKSHDHF
love ur criticism and take on this. ive grown soo bored of studio vlogs/art videos for a while now bc they’re all very similar, which, like you mentioned, is kind of the algorithms fault and pushes artists to make videos similar to one another in order for them to gain some attention and promote their work. the algorithm promoting this video style is also probably why so many youtube artists are afraid to create new content or vids that dont follow the typical art video style and if there are artists making unique content its not getting seen by others. i also feel like there arent a lot of black or brown artist vloggers/creators on here with a big following but also i havent been on the art side of youtube for a while so idk if things have changed now.
Thabk u so much for watching ! Glad u agree! And ouGHHHHH I can attest to there not being many black or brown artists with a big following on here, it's also another reason why things feel a bit ALIENATING KDDJDHDB. It's one of the reasons I wanna show my face a bit more!
Man, I'm an artist in my later 20's and always wanted to do videos but kinda lost a lot of motivation seeing younger artists being able to whip up such professional looking set ups with an established style, I wasn't able to do a lot of stuff such as streaming cause I have bad internet and I can't afford good set ups, this vid made me feel less alone. I still feel hopeless on doing anything but at least I feel less lonely about it.
i dont blame u for feelin that way at all! if it helps , just until this year, the only place i could stream /draw was smack dab in my kitchen with no privacy and on my barel y alive laptop MDIOSJDOS. i used to record all my videos using cheap headsets for my ps4! its a long journey that i feel like, either a lot of artists are just omitting ..or a lot of them may have already had access to these resources , skewing the idea of how one actually starts their business :-(
This is such a good video! and I LOVE the legitimate criticism you have to offer! I myself have gotten into filming videos since 2020-2021 and to this day have ALWAYS used my phone. And I'll admit I kinda got tempted to making my thumbnails nice because I wanted to draw people in lol, however, when they click the video expecting aesthetics, they are met with the entity that is ME with my weird unconventional contrarian art + very vulgar humor LOL I love your insight of this becuase its a literal like, "I WASNT CRAZY" type feeling! Sometimes I will watch an art vlog or 2 and project onto the fantasy of being an illustrator, but the more I use my brain the more I realize how, "planned" a lot of the videos are y'know? it's like a guilty pleasure yet I also feel like I am losing my mind. Something else I can vaguely relate to is that I am not very old, I am currently 20 and will be 21 next year! And I feel like ive always had kind of an "old soul" kinda mindest at least that's what people have told me, but yeah! like I notice a load of stuff with artists around the same as me and younger, that they simply worry too much or feel like they have to have "everything together" not only in art, but life style. I am someone who thinks about age a lot and I am also insecure about my age (in fact! I always have a billion age calcs goin on in my head despite my shit understanding of math) I want to remind other users who are struggling with age is that you will have plenty of time to live life and figure out what you want to do, I have had to learn this myself! depending on yr living situation you're not required to move out immediately at 18! wooo kind of a hugeee ramble there but this is such a uniquely interesting topic to me! I thank you for the insightful commentary! cheers to users n have a happy new year!
YEE thank you for watching my video friend!! :-) oh god the temptation to like, make the aesthetically pleasing thumbnail has gotten us all at one point! and i do feel like i would also be click baiting if i did my thumbnails in that way its likE OOOGGHH YOURE IN FOR A STORM MFISOFHS
and yeah a lot of them are for sure planned, which they have to be! but its like.. augh its just too, fake for me? like everything is too nice too neat too relaxing. and it makes me think...what am i doing wrong? but its not me or you! its just business!
also omg u are so small, you are like a little baby to me U HAV SO MUCH LIFE TO LIVEE ! and so do i! i also think about age a lot mifofhjsoi mainly bc i want to be financially stable and not have to grind at like 60 years oLD. but much luck to you and your artistic endeavour! i hope you also have a great new years! :-)
aaa ty so much for the reply. incredibly sweet ty! @@bananaboi
You spoke nothing but utter truth my friend definitely hits home for me since I’m gonna be 18 soon so the pressure is on me to “have it all together “ once I graduate
ur videos make me happy because they ARE different. I feel like ive begun to rlly hate art RUclipsrs bc even when i do find someone who has a different art style, their commentary is so mind numbing. Like they’re just, speaking about nothing. I’ve only watched like 3 of ur videos and ive been much more entertained than most art RUclipsrs i watch which are… dozens.
Personally what i find appealing about a lot of art youtubers is the business side of things since im planning on freelancing once I get out of school. I kinda study art vlogs and stuff bc it gives me a better idea of what it takes to be an independent artist lol. So what you mentioned about the age range of most artist on yt are also interesting, like most of them being 20-early 30 yo’s with pretty successful platforms. It just feels sooo strange to see that they’re moving so fast in their career while so young? I wonder if this is a reasonable expectation for a young artist. But also it’s like, the only reason why they’re successful is best they are following this strict structure that’s easy (not in the sense of producing, but for the viewers) and palatable to so many audiences. It makes me feel like to quickly become a successful artist, you’re forced to limit and cater your art. But like, what if I don’t hit the highest point of my career until im 40? I wish there were more art youtubers who are peaking later in life rather than earlier. Kinda just repeating what you talk about lol
i hadn't noticed that thing you said about like. the day in the life videos or studio vlogs focusing more on being aspirational than having something to share, like they're often so impersonal and it's so frustrating!! i don't wanna see you pack a million orders in silence with cozy lofi in the bg i wanna hear what you think about the art you're selling i wanna see you walk with the packages to the post office and not have it be just an excuse to get more aesthetic shots of the sky graaahh!!!
and like you said, i get why they do it and it's not bad like it definitely sells but it feels so. sterilized, i remember when everyone was making rant videos about ai art and stuff AND EVERYONE WAS SAYING THE SAME THING, 15-30 MINUTES OF THE SAME THING... i think your video on ai was one of the first i watched of your channel? and it was so refreshing like idk what it is but there's something about your videos and art that really is irreplicable and so valuable, and im really happy to have found your channel! sorry for the long comment nmfmdn but great video as always!! happy holidays and i wish you good luck with all you wanna accomplish this next year!
aw man thank u haha! it truly makes me happy to carve even a little space for my videos here! i tend to always want something different and i kno its detrimental sometimes but boy do i crave it when i go onyoutubE FSIOFHS. i always think it's the result of people taking inspiration from each other instead of looking outwards. but thank you so much for watching my video!! it means so much! i hope your year is filled with lots of joy and fun!
(also haha i just took an audio from the game and sped it up/chopped it a bit! now i wanna see if i can do it with my voice MIOSHFO)
man im glad (and scared) that yt recommended this vid bc i literally was just thinking This the other day... like help.... i can only take 1/3 of a cozy art vid before my head explodes whereas you had my full attention from start to finish. your art is so good !!!! ♡
I'm really glad this video exists. As someone wanting to start and grow a channel properly I feel like most if not all recent(or younger, as you say) artists kind of drown each other out and frankly none of it really gives me that hook for actually paying attention to the content. I think your points are quite valid, honestly. 10/10 video :>
Lately I've been thinking about making my own videos but I don't have the expensive materials and cameras and stuff so I never end up doing anything. You really inspire me with every video you make
awh thank u!! im so glaD!! you totally should make your videos! a lot of the things ppl have in fancier videos isn't even necessary (it looks nicetho! really nice!) , it's just extra stuff that makes their videos higher quality! but higher (visual) quality doesn't always mean good! SO U DO YOUR THING!
always enjoy your videos they have a touch of sleaze and real personality alot of other art videos dont have 💥
omg..sleaze.. thANK U SO MUCH !!! TAHTS SO SWEET OF U 2 SAY
I’m almost about to be 20 and despite being on the younger end I feel the exact same way that you’ve worded in terms of alienation. I don’t really post or share my art so often online for that reason-I don’t really WANT my art to be turned into something it’s not by others who only care for the aesthetic of things…
And esp with AI art, it’s just been rough.
On another note, this is my first time seeing your art, and wow! I am very delighted. Here’s to hoping i see more in the future from you ❤
oh thank you so much!!! thanks for watching and i wish you luck with your artistic journey!! i hope soon the whole aesthetic obsession dies down haha @@thelingeringartist
i tried chasing the aesthetic™for my videos and that shit got me burnt out 💀i tried studio vlogging and :/ just kept forgetting to film stuff and it was never interesting enough so i felt like i had to make things interesting just for yt but doing its not worth fakin it for youtube. i'd like to see more variety in art videos, at least in the ones youtube keeps recommending me y'know? i'm trying to get back into making vids as well too but trying to figure out what i want to make😩
it will take some times to find your groove in you tube!! and yeah chasing trends is the quickest way to burn out i do noT RECCOMMEND MFIOSHGFSOJI, BUT I WISH U ALL THE LUCK!!
god, you just unlocked a memory about Don friggen Bosco, we had this middle school field trip where we went to this don bosco retreat thing and I think we just,,, man I can't even remember what we did there it was such a long time ago, but what I DO remember is horseback riding and then we went and watched Remember the Titans, RANDOMLY on that field trip, and then our bus was late getting us back because it was an out of the way location HAHA.
No but for real if I gotta watch one more art vlogger spend the first 5 min of their video preparing coffee. I mean. i DON'T gotta but, it does get very repetitive, and I'm trying to find other ways to make my videos a little more interesting or stand out but I'm kinda hitting a wall too. I don't have expensive equipment to film aesthetically anywhere in my house, so it's just kinda what I got is what I got you know? rad art as usual!
ALSO also, I'll be 34 next year and I know how that feels, to be constantly not chasing trends because I feel like I'm too gotdamn old and tired for that. At this point I just wanna draw what I like and maybe, occasionally put it in a video. I'm not really here to show you how I prepare my tea.
JSSKSHSJSH I'm so glad someone else remembers him cause he was so omnipresent in my childhood in school! But God yeah it just all becomes very repetitive , I'm feeling similar as well like man I can't buy thay camera heres my phone video take it or leave IT DKDHD
its really upsetting that in order for a lot of people to get anything out of their art online is to sterilize and make it so easily digestable with no individuality. I wish artists that challenge that and make art with such unapologetic personality and creativity were shown the same love! And for people to realize that creating art should be for yourself first !! Nothing against the “lofi” artists though, i understand they have to eat too!! just frustrates me a bit
I love your art so much by the way, you are one of my biggest inspirations ever and have helped me so much!! soo keep doing what youre doing dude!! I hope more and more people will get the opportunity to enjoy your art!
The social media-fication of art has BEEEN SO BADDDD, I hate seeing artists get turned into vending machines for art HSJDGS BUT THSBK UUU thank u so much, that's so sweet of u to say 😭😭💘💘💘
Hey Jay, love the video as always. And it’s not only the art videos that look the same unfortunately. If you scroll for just a bit on RUclips shorts you’ll see so many of the same type of videos from foodies, those aesthetic restock videos, fashion, those videos that start out like “I just did something CRAZY”, the people showing off their super techy desks/work spaces etc etc etc. It’s all become very annoying and repetitive, which is why I’m super grateful for your channel. I’ve always loved the way you format each video, especially the tv segments and ofc actually talking about the art you’re making instead of just showing bits of it and having the rest be some aesthetic compilation of your tools and workspace or smth. Not to say I don’t enjoy those videos from time to time but it’s all very oversaturated. Lastly bc this is getting kinda long but I’ve also noticed new artists having an overall aesthetic/filter on their art so their page looks very cohesive and (sorry for overusing this one) “aesthetic” and it just makes me kinda sad bc it seems like they’re more focused on stuff looking the same and “fitting in” instead of like, trying new stuff out and experimenting ☹️☹️
i came from the future to say omgg you literally said what i have been thinking since 2020 which could be an interesting point of discussion since many artist joined youtube but anyway, these cutsie pastel minimalist stickers artists is dominating the artube sphere it's insane. strangely these perfect whimsical minimalist videos doesn't charm me but give me uncanny vibes and give me anxietyyyy.
TGANK U FOR WATCHINGG ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ and I hate thay it feels like in order to make it here y either have to be 20 years old and quiet and cute or make tutorials KSKDJDHD
Bestie, you’re so right and you should say it.
Also-your comment about “when I die no one would have ever made this” is so eye opening. It’s always more fulfilling to do what you want to do instead of what others want you to
Finally someone talks about this 😭
As a young artists I had a VERY cartoony style- but for some reason I would feel so much pressure to draw what was popular (eg anime, semi-realistic artstyles) and what I thought would make my art better? I never fully understood why until a year ago and I feel like your video really put my thoughts into words!
You’re videos are gas! You’re art and style of expression is so neat to me. And your videos always help when I’m not feelin to hot about my own art!
The same room thing! I was legitimately freaking out the other day about that. Two artists with the exact same set up, felt like it was a movie set or something. I was like, is this a real?? Anyways great video, I’ve really felt like so many artists have the same “brand” kind of. (Not trying to be mean ofc, and obv inspo is fine, it’s such a fine line between what I want to express, and then what I perceive as whining about others choices just because I don’t like them. I feel like you really did well with that in this video ). It feel like so much of life, not just art, is starting to pander to a certain aesthetic. I feel like the art community it first, for reasons that you talked about in your video. I’ve seen it expand though, product design, video editing, even architecture to a certain point. I’ve never been a stickler about that stuff before, there’s nothing wrong with aesthetics, but it’s all so hollow. You can tell that it’s not from a place of comfort or peace with oneself anymore, it’s corporate . Art has always been so personal, I used to love finding unique quirks about each artists style- that doesn’t happen to much anymore. I’m pretty new to my art journey so I hope I can work on developing something that feels true to me. Anyways, this comment was really long but this video helped me articulate a lot of my more confusing feelings about art right now! Thanks!
Another day of Jay saying exactly what I was thinking ☝🏾😞😞
Oh! And "They all have the same room??" So real!! 😭
I really love watching college kids just talking about their are because they’re just like little soulless gremlins
I feel when we are growing as artists we can be afraid to be messy and sorta just go for things. I stopped making vids on my art channel awhile ago cause i thought i needed to be really clean and stuff and it was rally draining. Zo instead i feel i want to be honest with myself and try a sort of video style thats aligned with the stuff i like to do instead of videos on yt.
At first I was dreading you changing your format because thats what led me to subscribed to your channel! Its so uniquely yours! A lot of channels come off as that Werner Herzog's sad beige art channel for sad beige artist. Its hard to find art channels that do not focus on aesthetic coffee shop vibes. it's not a house its a advertisement. An ad that I dont want. my room is a nightmare and I like it! Its has life and color! I also like the art you do. The references the people you decide to draw. I want to try youtube but I also am afraid of montezing my hobby? Like i just wanna draw men with huge tits and weird paintings. Maybe that will make me unmontizeable lol I just want to show people my art thats all but in a way thats authentic to myself. Which is why I like your art and channel so much! I dont comment much because I lurk in the shadows mostly and I havr a tendency to ramble...in any case I like your thoughts on this subject and I get it! I like to watch James Gurney because hes just an old dude doing his thing but also works in some practical effects from time to time to make his videos diffrent! I think thats all I have to say about that. I wish you great luck! Also sorry for the novel 💀
drawing men with big tits you are SO REAL FOR THAT ONE DFMNISOFJHISO but omg no worries! i love when peopel leave long comments honestly, and im honoured that you chose to comment on my video despite usually choosing to just watch! and thank you so much for watchign and enjoying my stuff! i always like to just make sure that no matter what im doing, im doing it with my heart ( as cheesy as tht souNDS). i hope you do try youtube especially if it's just for fun! u never know what people may be looking for the kind of work you make!
PS: I ALSO TOO LOV JAMES GRUNEY his practicaly effects are SO FUN, hes the future of art youtube 2 mE FMSOIFHS
Its not a problem with you at all. I feel like alot of artists graduate and then just set up a youtube, catered to following the algorithm to give them massive amounts of money. Jay you use youtube as an art MEDIUM and thats amazing :)
aouwahaaaa cryING IN THE CLUB NR THANK YOUU ;___; !! tahts os sweet of you to say, bc i really do see youtube as another form of making art!
Nah youre right speak your truth 🗣🔊🗣📢🗣🔊🗣📢!! Cozy blogs drive me insane like people will have the same kinda fake soft voice, to aesthetics, from video thumbnails to pouring the coffee to houseplants to a cat interuptting the video. Artstyle too like its either anime kawaii inspired stuff or florally nature. Each them having a storytelling in every video of either being ultra chill and soft to uwu follow ur dreams dont give uuuppp, sanitized social media basic girl stuff. No meaniness but you could put a gun to my head and ask me to differentiate between these artists and I could not tell you what I guess Ill die LOL. Though while its a market they are selling to (and they def might have some online course or planner system to sell), some people are just pretty similar to another irl bit we see them all in one place ahah.
I will say in their defense, Ive seen people comment, in video comment sections or in discord servers dedicated to art, how if a video's visuals arent cute or their isnt a uwu inspirational storytelling or if its not consistent 100% the time, that they wont watch wont like will unfollow. So I can see how artists may be pressured to make a certain type aesthetic.
As far as myself tho Id like to think at least my subject matter of the art is different but. As someone just using a phone and headset, my editing is whatever thing I can do, given im still learning how to take one million years for simple edits lol XD
2024 is the year for bananaboi, I’ll tell u that
JODIHJSIOD god i hope so.. I HOPE

hey !! sorry if i say thing you dont understand my english is terrible but ! i saw that you did a video « how to make youre art look less stiff » and i saw on pinterest a lot of people said that it was a good vidéo so i was wondering if you was planning for reposte it bc yt made a age restriction
hello!! and no worries your english is great! im not sure if i will repost it or can since i dont have the original file anymore ;_; still sad that youtube did that
@@bananaboi thx !! and its ok , yt is so anoying for this 😭

Let me be real this is fucking AWESOME i love this vibe and the concept its great
Yeah, I've noticed how they all look the same. Its common for there to be trends in any community that just looks the same, which is fine, but ya know
Originality is better
I came for Edge, stayed for the topic, subscribed for the whole content!
WOOHOO A WRESTLE WIN!!
Another top tier video
It's so funny to me that you are worried about your art career and how younger artists are being "more successful" because to me you are one of "the big guys", a well known, big artist with a big following lol, maybe it's because I have almost no following but idk it was always curious to me lol
ps: I love ur art sm you inspire me a lot
JFIOSDFJDO ohman i could never seemyself as that! i still feel like i haven't quite grasped a way to make a living from this ! so i feel so small hehe. and thank you so much!!!
