It seems incredible to me that in all the people who speak in the video at no time do they say "you have to learn to stop drawing ugly" or something like that, rather they comment that it is more a matter of avoiding self-sabotage than anything else.
Yesss Mysti! That was eye opening for me. We truly are our best ally, yet our worst enemy in our personal art journeys. I loved seeing that! Thanks for watching the video!
As someone who watches Art youtubers, I appreciate Sinix for telling people about vulnerability. Because other than it’s relatable, art journey becomes less daunting. Sometimes, it feels scary seeing so many skilled artists out there who don’t appear to have some troubles in their art. I don’t know how to explain it very well. Thank you for this video! ❤
Whole-heartedly agree! I was surprised by his answer (as you can tell in the video) but it was really reassuring. Made me aim to be more vulnerable in my upcoming videos, let's see how it goes! Thanks for watching!!
I love to watch Marcel from Draw like a Sir. He is the best to motivate me because he makes it feel like you can get where he's at. He showed his old drawings which were really really bad and give advices which applies to all levels.
Dayum, Manu, this is fantastic! The production, audio recording quality, everything's on point! 100% agree with Sinix's take as well, vulnerability is everything!
Thank you for taking the time to do this video, it was super encouraging to hear from the pros at Lightbox! I especially appreciate that you added the gratefulness question too. Gratitude typically doesn't get enough focus, but it is so integral to helping us keep a healthy outlook in our creative journeys. Thanks for being such a genuine guy Manu! Congrats on 30k, looking forward to what the future holds for your channel :)
Thank you so very much for the encouragement Parker!! Truly appreciate your support and your kind words. Hope I can keep making every video better than the last and I wish you lots of success in your creative journey!!
Ty for this , sometimes its hard getting through the grind of trying to get better but im glad you we’re able to give me an inside look on what it takes to improve. Love your content as always and keep up the amazing work
Thanks so very much for being here for this wild ride dom! truly appreciate you taking the time to watch my content. Wish you the best of luck with your art journey! LETS GET IT!!
Bobby! Thanks so much for all your hard work! Both to you and your team. This was my first in person LBX (last year I gave a panel with Wacom) and I had a marvelous time!! I think you can tell, but this was edited with a lot of joy, tons of good memories. Thank you for building such a wonderful event for us artists!! Hope to see you next year!
Muy inspirador! y seguro tu le pusistes esos STRINGS al final del video en la parte de GRATEFUL FOR! Grande Manu, nuevo follower aqui. allow ourselves to do art is a huge healing process...and on the way, we support the healing process of others.
This really inspired me! After watching your latest vid every youtuber, they all went through the suffer through the same thing which gave me hope that I will be the artist that I want, an animator who tells stories, an artist that will bring impact to even the smallest amount of people. I want to be an artist and an animator who will tell stories, inspire people, and help them. But still, I get help to those who are more experienced than me, you said that community matters that I don't need to be alone in this progress. Even if this is a pre-recorded video I know that you support us artist. I am my own story after all. A character that is relatable, a character that develops very slow but fun same time challenged. We thank you. You really brought my hopes up high even if you are still learning, we are going the right direction, as you and the film said "were not aiming for the truck"
@@ManuMercurial thank you!! I might have not started to animate, I started to animate just at 9th grade, I'm bad at it but I accepted that I would be an idiot especially as a noob animator. I stopped for now so that I would learn how to draw the proportions of a body (specifically the hand). Currently I took a break since I'm on an art block, so after a break I can look at my drawings with a fresh eye. But a question: how do you stay focused or self motivated? I mean I want to be animator for a reason, but I just can't get myself to pick up a pencil, and maybe giving myself guilt for not practicing. I have been down that every artist I know can draw for hours, and I can't even get past a 10min drawing warm up.
The biggest success of everything is : always always don't listen too much. Careful select your goal and plan well than act immediately. Pratice is key and listen is annoying.
Always happy for a new video. I've found out you have an animation course, could you explain more about it ? Don't even need a video, maybe do it in your community part of the channel, I'm rather curious about it
Its a 5 hour tutorial on using CSP as an animation tool + some other thingies. I made it for the company Graphixly, which distributes CSP. You can see a breakdown of the video course in their webpage!
I believe beginners ask too much about the tools ( Software, brushes, plugins) rather than asking or educating themselves about the technique and methods to achieve their goal.
Yes! "Walk over". Meaning if you see an artist that you like, go and say hi. The video may not show but I'm actually quite shy and at first I through I wouldn't be able to walk those 10 feet up to my art heroes and talk to them. But I'm so glad I did!! Aside from that, also know it is impossible to see everything. There's too many talks, there's too many artists, there's so much going on, so don't sweat it if you don't see everyone. Just enjoy being there and be very present. Depending on what your goal is plan around how to get the most out of it (i.e getting reviews on your portfolio or sumthing). Best of luck! I'll probably be attending next year!
Why the artists don’t stay in one studio? I see some staying for decades and others changing every year. It’s because the studios won’t hire you or because the artists want to do different things?
Hehe thanks so much for watching the video! Funny story is I met Hozure 4 years ago, before he had started working for Riot. He's always been so incredibly hard working so about a year later he did some freelances, and then BOOM he got picked up and relocated to Los Angeles. And this was the first time I got to meet him in person. It was my first time meeting Fortune K. She's the nicest, most caring person I talked to the whole week for real! So cool!! Glad you enjoyed it!
@@ManuMercurial hello again. I was curious if you were planning on making another Art A.I. video since a lot has changed and happened since... or perhaps you will talk about another topic ..?
@@Dreamwalker44 Hi Rinnie! The whole A.I landscape is changing so rapidly I'm kind of watching from the sidelines for now. I do plan on making a video later this year when my original video turns 1 year old and compare how much everything has changed and which predictions turned out true! That will be interesting. Thanks for reaching out!

Marco! Thank you for your gracious time and sharing your knowledge!! Truly appreciate what you do for all of us artists here on the youtubes!

Really appreciate it Andreas!! And you can see in the video I also completely agree with Sinix haha!
Marco Bucci and Proko are the GOAT and no one can tell me otherwise
Absolutely 👊 I'm happy to confirm they are incredibly friendly too!

Nathan Fawkes is a living legend ! Marco Bucci saved me in color theory and light and shadow comprehension !
Thanks for the good stuff ☺️
Same! Learnt so much from all of them over the years, I still can believe I got to talk to them haha!
Gracias por el video. Es increible que pudieras conocer a todos esos artistas
Gracias por sacar el ratito para verlo!
This is great inspiration ♡ ama fan myself of them
SAME. This was a dream come true HAHA
Those two leaves on Sinix made me unable to not think of psych2go =P
I believe beginners ask too much about the tools ( Software, brushes, plugins) rather than asking or educating themselves about the technique and methods to achieve their goal.
great video! I'm headed to lightbox expo for the first time this year, any tips on making the most out of it?

@@ManuMercurial Ok great adivce, thanks:) Ya maybe we wil run into each other then lol. Love your channel btw, keep doing what you are doing.
Hey Manu, you promised to do a video "compositing for animators" in CSP
Working on the post production video! But last week I was in Lightbox and I wanted to put this video out first! Thanks for your patience
Why the artists don’t stay in one studio? I see some staying for decades and others changing every year. It’s because the studios won’t hire you or because the artists want to do different things?
Where’s the post production video 😭😭
Manu y Luis Gadea son ticos?! Me sonaba latino pero saber que son de acá! PV otro nivel de verdad!
Esa es! Vamos con todo!!
First comment manuuuu loving your content 😁
Legend! Thank you for checking it out!
👀👀👀👀👀👀 did- did u say someone from riot games was there 👀👀👀👀👀👀
(Also: great video!! I was all eyes and ears to what each artist was sayin' 👀👂✨)
Hehe thanks so much for watching the video!

what' with the sound??
I LOVE YOU
Tony Bancroft?! You got O.G.s up in there?
I wonder why this video has smaller views, this was SUPER inspirational!! thank you
proco and ross are overly ovverrated, I wish you could have talked with people like Artgem and Mike Inel instead :c
i woudnt call proko overated. he has by far the highest production value and hes one of the OG RUclips art teachers.
Nice to see a lot of faces from BBLand
is this guy portuguese ? He has a very cool Portuguese accent
