HAHA FINALLY SOMEONE SAW THAT
how many great file names have i missed because im blind
_the topics include, but aren't limited to_
my english teacher every time we have to do a discussion I am not prepared for
I read this right at that part of the video 😂
that thumbnail made me scream omg i haven’t even thought abt ace attorney in MONTHS,, you’ve taken me back to another life
I just realized that edgeworth’s bangs look like an M. And his name is Miles... 😱 Also great video! People really need to hear stuff like this.
Don’t worry. Most of us love something but still complain about it. I myself have three parrots that I would die for, but that doesn’t keep me from complaining when they poop all over the floor and fling veggies at the wall😂
My advice to solving this problem is to force yourself to get new hobbies and try new things, or go back to old forgotten hobbies.
I used to draw/design buildings and rooms for fun but now that I'm getting my degree in architecture it feels like weird practice. I mean its still fun, but it feels like if I'm drawing buildings anyway I should just actually do my homework. I went back to rollerblading and since it's so different it feels refreshing. I'm also trying to learn how to do a back handspring finally, and going back to gymnastics and exercising.
Idk I've just felt like branching out helped me, but then again our situations aren't exactly the same so 🤷
Aw man when I saw the thumbnail I gasped and screamed,”My lawyer boys!”
SEEING NARUMITSU IN OLIVER'S ART STYLE IS THE BEST THING EVER I ALMOST SCREAMED
Hey Oliver! It’s great hearing you talk about the pros and cons of your career, a lot of people tend to look at being a RUclipsr/artist through rose colored glass. It’s good seeing a conversation like this open up! Keep doing what makes you happy!
You know the vine where it like "I could be playing pokemon right now" over and over again. That's like the best way to summarize the video just replace playing pokemon with drawing for a video.
I’ve always wanted to do art as a job but, my mother said it was irrelevant and I should be like my older sister. It was annoying but one day, I’ll finally do what I love. Your one of my biggest inspirations, thank you ❤️❤️
I can relate to this so much: "flying was fun before I started doing it for a living," sums this up really well. It's nice to see people talking about this because it's never really discussed that much. Don't be afraid to take breaks man, because you should never have to push yourself to where you stop enjoying art because it's become so much of a chore.
Flying?!?! WTF???
@@dragondoodles78 It's a quote from a film
@@dragondoodles78 to specify La Baguettes answer: it`s a quote from "kikis delivery service" by Studio Ghibli (an amazing movie, btw. You should definetly watch it).
The protagonist of the movie is a little witch called Kiki, who leaves home to complete her training and become independent, like all young witches her age have to. She settles in a little town and opens a delivery service, because flying is what she loves to do and does best. But as the story progresses, she slowly stops to enjoy flying to the point where she can`t fly at all...
some other stuff happens as well, but i hope I summarized the important part to understand the quote :) I highly recommend watching the movie; it`s really adorable, has great characters and amazing art and music
@@torisstuff263 Oh... and Kiki's delivery service has been on my to watch list for a while
As someone going to college for art and doing art in my free time, I kinda feel this. It definitely helps to take breaks, watch and read and listen to lots of other content, shows, music, etc. Especially if you're into storytelling w/ art, it's very difficult to create if you don't consume to fuel tht creativity. Can't pour from an empty cup.
Oliver I do know that you consider your self not qualified for advice on starting a youtube channel or a web comic, but you really have inspired me and helped me keep going through my channel, so just wanted to thank you!
I’m a simply person I see narumitsu fanart on the thumbnail I click 👁👄👁✨
You‘re one of the few creators I watch the whole ad for
WHY IS NOBODY TALKING ABOUT THE QUALITY OF THIS DRAWING 😩👌
I told my parents at some point I wanted to go to an art college and they just told me.. "we'll see if you change that idea...Find a job that has more money.." I definitely thought they'd be like, oh yeah, you'd love that..Boy I was wrong..
I’ve been thinking about this ship and the fact that one of my favorite artists recently made art for it makes me so overwhelmingly happy omg thank u for this
People had mentioned this to me before but I never knew what they really meant until I was at college and I had to draw for every class. I didn't have much time for personal drawings. I didn't have the blurred line between personal art and work art, but I wound up just really missing personal art cuz nothing I made was something I really wanted.
i dont think im alone when i say that i watch all of your videos regardless of whether they're fanart or original or something completely different because while i love your art, i also really enjoy hearing your thoughts and opinions on things. you have a great personality and that makes it worth watching all your videos regardless of their content. so if you ever wanna take a break from drawing for work and just make random videos im sure most of us will stick around.
Knew this was coming!This video has helped me alittle.Btw I love your art!💕
I can relate to this, I have a channel and every single time a draw in my sketch book i always think about how this would be in a sketchbook tour, what would I say. And every time I draw I think about how I should be making this in a video.
I’m a very very small channel and I want to get bigger, as I want this to be my career, I want to build this up. But I never feel like I don’t publish enough to ever grow. And anytime time I do art I fall into the mindset of “should I be recording this right now?”
I started my first big project and I'm happy but hoooo boy is it terrifying and a touch stressful GAKBSJWVS
I think its good to have other hobbies like I recently started skateboarding which is really fun. Sometimes drawing all the time makes you burnt out and no creativity. Maybe you should pick up a new hobby 💃💃
I have too many hobbies. Drawing, writing, sewing, bookbinding, claycraft. There are times where I just get so engrossed in one hobby that I forget the other hobbies exist.
@@aleahlrb thats true sometimes I also feel bad when I don't improve on the other hobbies :((( but we have to find a way to balance time 😌🤡
After seeing your obsession on instagram I started getting in the ace attorney fandom and now I can't escape it, so THANKS OLIVER
Also, I love this illustration SO MUCH, seriously your art has improved a lot lately
As someone who want to draw for the rest of her life, I really needed this. Thanks Oliver!
I want a career in art because its all i can really do well but how you were explaining how drawing in free time doesnt actually feel like free time is the only thing id be worried about. Sure ive got the videos games and instruments and stuff that i also like but drawing is my main thing because its the only thing that helps me cope with my anxiety, dysphoria, ect. But like it also seems fun to do what you love as a job xD
I'm early for once in an Art Dad video but it's currently 4am so I'll just leave a comment for now and come back later to watch the whole thing.
This drawing is so good! The pose is really nice, I love the composition and I just like how it looks. :)
This is super relatable omg. I plan applying for art school in december, and I've been thinking about this a lot. I love art, I love making comics, they're basically all I do, but its been a bit stressful. I'm making my portfolio rn and whenever I try to draw for fun, I think "is this good enough for a school? is this good enough to add to my portfolio? i need to make this look as composed and interesting and good as possible" and analyzing it for flaws instead of having fun with it. I've been trying to pick up my old hobbies as a way to cope. Which is hard, bc my old hobbies were mostly team sports and corona is still a thing, but its a work in progress.
I felt the same thing when I started professionally publishing my novels. What I dis to keep the divide between work and play was to get a new hobby (for me that was art) and when it comes to writing, I write by hand when I'm having fun designing worlds and characters and I type on the computer when I'm doing the actual work of writing. Having that clear divide between mediums helps a lot to keep work and play separate. Having a daily goal also helped because once I hit that word count, I'm done. Anything else is just for fun. Pet projects help too. Projects that have no goal or end date and that doesn't even have to be good. I have a project that is intentionally insane just because it amuses me.
BTW, love the drawing.
ARGGHHHH YOUR VIDEOS AMAZE ME EVERY TIME !!!!! YOU ARE SUCH AN AMAZING PERSON AND I VALUE YOUR EXISTANCE!!!!!
some advice for not being able to separate work from leisure art, try getting a sketch book only for you to see. something you can turn to to wind down and draw whatever and not have to post it anywhere
it helps sometimes 🥺
you improved so much !!!
happy to see this progress
Dude I love the way you color
It's just 😔👌
The one person that disliked the video: "Guess I'm just built different"
Sometimes I feel the same while giving classes. I'm studyig to become a teacher one day in the future. Because I like langugages I decided to study my carrea. However, sometimes it is difficult to come up with material, lessons or even the mood to teach. Or, in the other hand, when I read there is a voice telling me "hey, don't you have to read more serious things?", but I give a faq about it :'V Watching youtube videos, drawing and watching series are my "happy place" where I can enjoy and take a little brake.
Hope you continue doing well. I know how stressfull could it be but, at those times, we should just breath and make another thing. That guilty feeling must ended.
Thank you so much for talking about this. As an author, I struggle a lot with writing in my free time because I have to write massive amounts for school about topics I don't really like, and it just creates this huge burn out that makes it very, very difficult to find joy in creating something for myself. (The perfectionist mindset probably doesn't help.) What I've found so far is that if the content is different that what I'm supposed to write for classes, I can try to find moments of inspiration to indulge myself in. I really admire you for mentioning this struggle, because in art it's extremely relevant.
I have procrastinator disease so l haven't made videos in a hot minute but I definitely felt this sorta pressure when I was doing grade 11/12 art, because I had to do so much work and was pretty much constantly either doing art or having to make my journals look nice and neat so my overly-critical teacher wouldn't mark me down, and I really noticed the blurring of lines between doing personal art and working (especially since I was making very guilty pleasure art for school since we could choose whatever we wanted as our theme)
The thumbnail reminded me of the Scotia Bank slogan " your richer than your think"
As someone who also got into ace attorney probably a few months ago, yes..........it is a deep hole of which I cannot escape :>
honestly it's helped me to do art part time and work and write part time also. Using all of your creativity in only one aspect plus the stress of it being your only source of income is absolutely going to burn you out and thats worked for me!
I find it really funny how we got into Ace Attorney at about the same time lol
Im your 200th like POG CHAMP
Great video ❤ I was inspired by you and I just started my RUclips channel for something to do on the side as a hobby but even if this doesn't end up as my job, it's still relevant as my main job goal is to be a storyboard artist.
Ive never been this early holy heck
noot noot
Okay but like they look so good in your art style-
"I'm only 20"
Me, a 24 yo: how DARE
-unjustified jealousy ensues-
Seriously though, I'm glad I found your channel and I hope it inspires me to work more on my own projects. And for anybody else who's an OLD FART like me (lmao): Don't worry about it. We all go at our own paces. Your journey cannot compare to another's.
Ugh, I really feel this and drawing isn't even my job yet!
It's probably because I'm really bad at school right now and I'm stressed out all the time and I don't like feeling guilty because I'm not posting new art on top of all that so I just never stop being stressed.
I watch TV sometimes but there's times where it hurts feels like I'm studying? Which I dont exactly mind but I don't really like it either
i’m not a professional artist (bc i’m still in high school) but uh- i’ve been worried about this even though i’ve never experienced it and then you made this vid lol- love your art tho
It's really good art! I've only seen a couple of your videos, but the issues you're facing remind me of another youtuber called Lavender Towne. Her and other's videos discussing being a pro artist help put what you're saying in context. I can't be a pro artist right now, or even post much of my art but I'll reach a balance eventually. I don't know if you've already tried this or how effective it is, but going off of your dog walking idea, if you designated certain days for script writing or comics (Idk if you do them) and designated certain days, like Saturday, for only drawing non-work art and certain days, like Sunday or Thursday, for not doing any art then it might help space things out more so that you can dedicate specific days to publicly shared art. Again I don't know if that would really work because following a strict schedule might not be for everybody.
Narumitsu in the thumbnail pog
I’m also turning art into my job. it’s hard trying got figure a balance between it all.
IS THAT WRIGHTWORTH, I SPY??
I recently obsessed with Dgs 1 and 2 from the ace attorney series. The games that aren't release outside of Japan, just wondering if you heard of it.
Also, love the fanart! ♥️
i'd like to be freelance and have art as my job one day and just work on my comic, but at the same time it would be stressfull :|. Maybe I could try an art fulltime studio job? It's hard :/
I can definitely relate to the "I should've filmed this" struggle and yeah it's hard.
I have the oposite problem with fan art. I draw my characters a lot but I know people don't care about them, whilst people don't care about my fanart either, unless it was my mob psycho 100 fan art but on tumblr. One thing I've noticed is that people don't care about certain fandoms on insta. I've started scheduling a lot of posts to go on instagram lately because I draw a lot and there were a lot of drawings I've done last year that i was too chicken to post because they were drawings of my ocs but scheduling a big buffer of art gives me more time to do other things and I don't have to worry about posting consistently and I don't have the time to watch my likes and follows like a hawk from the minute I post because the minute I schedule a post, I just forget it exists which is good for me. idk where this ramble went so yeah
Early 😛
hi oli!
this wasposted 24 seconds ago theres 3 comment not icluding min 16 likes not including mine and no veiws
I don't rlly do art as a full time job but I do make money from it and personally.. When doing "work" i view it as both work and free time, so it makes my job fun. But as I said I don't do it full time so who knows maybe my view will change later on if it ever is full time.
al math teachers have the same problem, but with them its disturbing with how happy they are to do numbers and letters... why did I go to school again?
Early gang
Earlyyyyy
where Can you read your comics when its out cuz i really wanna read it when its out??? :)
What kind of recording/editing software do you use??
I have a genuine question about fanart. How do you even make fanart of other characters. I have trouble drawing characters from other shows and when I sit down to draw fanart I end up getting frustrated :')
I stop keeping up for a while, then see narumitsu?? Uhh, yes???????
Tbh the main reason i can't be my own boss is im a MaStEr At 🌟PrOcRaStInAtInG🌟 idk i work better when my scedual is something thats forced on me. like the idea of a structured day seems very appealing to me XD and being my own boss would probably drive me crazy

how much do y'all wanna bet he was watching game grumps vid of them shipping Edgewright ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
I wasn't this time, but I assure you I have many times before
You know, I wish I could make my hobby a job b u t sadly I feel like I need talent 😔 to do that
I thought the same but I kept praticing and so should you :D
I am sue you'll get better and improve.Just don't give up :)
Ok I'm just wondering, I'm also trans, but is it normal to be afraid for your life on a daily basis
Honestly, that's nothing out of the ordinary for trans people 😔 which is a sham, but just know everyone here loves you and cares for you!
@@OliversAntics69 thank you. Like 90% of my high school is supportive but I've had situations happen. Threats of violence and r*pe, harassment, sexual harassment I'm just so scared that someone is serious and that they are just waiting till they're alone with me to do something.
