    Hello!! I’ve read some comments saying that the left/right brain theory is just a myth. Im not a psychology expert, and what I’m doing is just summarising what I’ve learnt from the book that has made me a better artist! The main point of the video is to help fellow artists improve, not trying to prove the theory. As my psychology teacher once said, psychology is such a new field, there is still so much uncertainty/unknown areas, and a lot of disagreements between psychologists- so please feel free to do your own research and come up with your own conclusions yourself!
    Regardless if this is a myth or not, I think the information in the book is still very knowledgable, finding “the zone” and learning how to observe the world around you (Those tips are super effective as proven from my own artwork 😆).

      It was weird to listen to you be so excited about how much it helped you when I knew from the start that the theory is wrong. It reminded me of some situations IRL where I thought there was a rule or something, that made me look at things differently and understand things better, and then learning that the rule was incorrect (but not the lessons I got from it).

      @@VieneLea left/right isn’t wrong. It’s misunderstood. The brain divides tasks between the hemispheres. This video doesn’t suggest that left/right is a personality (which is certainly a myth), she’s saying we need to use the image processing centers of the brain which is focused on the right hemisphere. Language processing happens on the left. So drawing with the left is like using symbology when trying to make an image. Think of it like the language processing hemisphere knows a stick man is a symbol for a person, whereas the image processing hemisphere knows a stick figure is 4 lines with a circle on top.
      This is a concept that we do have research on. I recommend Scishow’s video on the topic for a short breakdown and some keywords for finding some excellent research on the topic. This includes MRI data for brain lateralization.
      Whatever you decide to do is up to you. Either way, I hope you have a good rest of your day.

      @@ianhall7513 Laterilisation is quite interesting. Does language processing on the left only apply to right-handed people or left as well? What about the cases where people had parts of their brain removed in one hemisphere but the other hemisphere adopted its functions? Would drawing use both hemispheres since the left is more detail focused? Also I thought she said whether or not it's a myth is up to you?

    Fun Fact: Listening to the right type of music can impact your mood and end up bringing out a certain vibe with your drawing because of it. Ex: listening to classical music while trying to draw a calming scene will help the drawing look more satisfying and chances are, the vibe you eventually get from the drawing will be the same vibe you get from the music!

    My piano teacher told me something similar. When you're sight reading some notes don't think about each note as an individual note, think about the notes as sentences. Just like when you are reading English or any other language you know how to speak, you don't think about each single letter in a word as an individual, you think about the whole word.

    Any recommendations on getting the self-criticism side of the brain to shut up?

      Idk it it’ll help, but when I draw from irl I tell myself I am copying another artist. It’s just another really well done drawing. How die they do the lines? Where did they shad and how heavily? That sort of thing. Also, it’s good to use basic shapes to see perspective. And to practice seeing perspective you just kinda have to draw a big circle and a small one and use a ruler to connect them. I mean, that helps me at least….

    • @bananabimb0
      @bananabimb0 2 года назад +30

      I don’t think that critical voice is inherently bad but it’s very important to identify things you did well in your drawing and things you like about it as well as things you don’t like or didn’t do well so you don’t get down on yourself

    • @adn1145
      @adn1145 2 года назад +32

      get a timer, set it to twenty minutes. dedicate those 20 minutes to just drawing. save all the criticisms you have for it at the end of the 20 min session. the truth is you can't grow if you can't put something down on paper in the first place. drawing is hard. there've been multiple times this year where i thought i was putting down my pencil for the last time, but i'm still going bc deep down i love drawing and seeing my progress over the months. the fact that you can see what's off about your drawing is already a sign of growth. it means your eye has experience that allows it to see disproportion, it's just that you need to give your hand the chance to catch up and fix those proportions. in the moment, it's hard to see your own growth but i assure you if you're looking at the mistakes in your art and you analyze how you got there and how you can make things right the next time you draw something similar, you are growing.
      p.s. you don't need to replicate real life drawings exactly in order to get good at drawings. it's definitely one way to approach drawing, but it's more important that you understand how to break down your reference than it is that you drew it looking exactly how it appears. what's more useful? being able to draw a person's face exactly as it looks from a pic, or understanding the basic shapes and proportions of their face and from that knowledge being able to draw their face from any angle you want? maybe i'm biased because i'm into cartoons, but to me i feel like the latter is more fun
      extra p.s. be sure to draw what YOU enjoy, even if you think you lack the experience to draw it. don't just grind art studies bc you want to improve at art faster. it could lead to burn out. you might forget why you're doing art in the first place if you're only doing studies that demotivate you. remember to do things purely for fun. good luck

    I'm glad that you encourage people to draw realism. As an animation student myself, life drawing is very calming and provides a good training. Even for those who wants stylized drawings, you can only actually do so when you can depict the reality of the dimension correctly or else it'll just get awkward like medieval arts. It doesn't have to be perfect, but its better to know it if you don't want your drawings to be flat and even more important if you don't want your animation to be sloppy.
    Btw, good luck for college/university :)

    the whole "right vs left side of brain" is not accurate. both sides work simultaneously, we use both at the same time, as a 'whole', it's just that there are parts of brain responsible for specific functions so maybe the myth comes from that. it's a very complex subject but kinda cool I guess

      What ur talking about is kinda different from the video. What ur talking about is the “logic is on the left side, creativity is in the right” thing and yes that got disproven. What she’s talking about is about visual and verbal sides, which there is a difference. They did a bunch of tests with people that had split brains (this corpus callosum is severed so the left and right hemisphere can’t talk to each other). They showed different things to the different eyes, and for the right side, they showed the left eye an image, but when asked the people could not verbalize what they saw even though their brain registered it. They could however answer the emotions it gave them and other more subjective questions and such.

    I’m an art major at a community college rn. Your advice is what I wished I had done sooner when I was young. But honestly draw something from life every day. We have gotta ask ourselves do we know what a kettle or basic kitchen really looks like on the top of our head. If not we gotta draw it! The more you draw from life, the better you get simplifying objects into basic shapes. My sketching professor would pound on my head when I draw people, it’s not about people. If we draw buildings, it’s not about buildings. It's mostly seeing shapes and that usually helps with stylization and design. I wish the best for people's art journey. Art is a constant learning curve for me. I suddenly got back into art seriously when it was time for college applications. I was undergoing inner turmoil and art was the answer all along. I'm honestly very happy with what I'm learning.

      This is true. Especially when you're using a reference its better to detach yourself from the thing you're drawing and look at it only as shapes. If you think too much about what you're drawing you're more likely to stylize instead of replicate the image.

    i feel bad being THAT person but, do you think you're open to the idea of making a video detailing the process of getting accepted into a college with an art/animation major? im currently 13, yet im still very scared about getting accepted into a college. i really want to go to one, and my parents say i absolutely HAVE to get into college, but im still terrified of not being enough for my dream colleges to accept me. not only that, but im also worried about how and when to start making a portfolio. any advice helps! hope you have a lovely day ^^

      I’m thinking about getting ready for college too at a young age. In my opinion, I think you should look at the colleges you want to go to and check out their portfolio requirements. In my sister’s experience, she had to start making her portfolio in highschool. A lot of school counselors talk with you about getting ready for college in high school, so no need to be worried!

      @giboi03 2 года назад +56

      As an 18 yr old who's college plans kept getting whacked around by circumstance and preference, I'll say this:
      Explore more of your skillset while developing your current skills further. Do research around what colleges have your desired AND backup courses, because you really don't wanna be dropkicked by fate if worst case happens. Follow advice from other sketchbook/portfolio-submitted videos on what they were and were not accepted for. Most importantly, don't dive in headfirst into an art school-it's infamously known to be its own circle of hell for dreamy kids.

    So I just started taking art a little seriously a few moths ago and ever since I had found you channel I have been looking up to you and following your advices and I could really see a LOT of improvement.
    I just wanted to let you know that your videos were a lot of help to me and maybe to many others too.

    I think the best thing you can do to better your art is learning the importance of observation. The more you pay attention to the constant references around you and how they look, you can begin to understand how to put those on paper in your own creative way

I felt like I was in a art class with a teacher explaining why we go into certain modes, and I could feel that shift happening as you were explaining things. I am 28, been drawing all my life. I too, hated the cursed real life drawing but.. This changed my mind on that. If you want to do more, please! I would love to hear more!!!

    Because of my very short attention span and my habit to give up on... Learning videos?? Or even books I never watch them/read them because doing all the mental process that some kind of videos/books suggest seems so difficult, I never understand what I have to do to start to change something... I feel lost, I give up and I cry (lmao).
    This may be one of the only ones I watched. At the start I basically forced myself to keep me focused on the video without changing windows, doing something else...
    But I'll just say that after that initial stage of struggle, I kept watching without any problem... And English isn't even my first language! The video was pleasing in terms of structure, really clear in its concepts, not too long and not boring.
    I hope I actually learned something, because I also struggle really much with "drawing from the right side of the brain", so my art always looks so boring and uninteresting.
    Thanks a bunch Sakura. I'm from the algorithm gang but you got a new sub :)
