    I am someone who hasn't drawn consistently in years due to getting in my own head, perfectionism, and the fear of making something "bad", but keeps having those "I want to draw" moments
    You saying art is something you need to do, really spoke to me, so thank you for this video!

    That “feeling” you mentioned when you haven’t done your art in awhile is very real. That feeling doesn’t stop until you pick up a pencil or paintbrush. Creative energy cannot be contained.

    I feel like I really wanna highlight getting used to seeing bad art, you’re going to make so much more ‘bad art’ until you see a good chunk of progress, just keep doing it, I actually have been getting back into drawing and even finished a sketchbook, and yes experiment!!! don’t put boundaries on yourself, most of the time when you think of drawing just say ‘screw it’ and pull out your drawing tablet/sketchbook whatever it is and go at it, wishing everyone best of luck with their creative journeys, y’all should be excited for whats to come

And now anytime i don’t manage to draw i do feel like i am betraying myself. All I want to do is draw, paint, sketch and just get better and better, it is truly an amazing feeling!

I never thought of it that way before and it makes so much sense. Like when you said not everyone thinks about drawing i was like…omg you’re so right how did i not realize??? Haha!!

    This is so so motivational. I've been in a huge artistic slump for over a year. I used to be that girl who would sit and draw in her sketchbook at the playground instead of actually playing. And sometimes I think to myself: "am I making little me proud right now? I haven't drawn anything in months." This past week especially rather than spending my summer being wasteful with my time, I've started drawing everyday and I have already improved so much. Even if it's 1am and my wrist is hurting, my brain is still telling me to keep going. Because growing up, everyone would tell me how much potential and talent I had, and I really don't want to waste that. I'm going to make something out of myself.

    In all honesty I'm very skeptical of ~advice~ I come across on RUclips, but I think this video was something I really needed to hear. "Sacrifice" is a really scary word to hear (and I had actually been avoiding this video in my YT recommended because of it) but that's what it takes to be an artists sometimes, and I've been grappling with that fact a lot lately. I'm about to go into my sophomore year of college as an art major and I'm still scared out of my mind, but I want to be closer to myself. I want to draw forever. I've always loved drawing so much and I hate when I'm afraid of it. So I'm tired, I had a long day at work, but I'll be damned if I don't get up and draw right now, because it truly is what I want to do.

    I feel like this video came to me at the perfect timing.. As a kid, I loved drawing, I’d draw every single day, and I looked at my drawing and I thought “That’s what I want to keep doing for the rest of my life.” After getting into teenagehood, I started to become too perfectionist, and it made me lose motivation to draw. I’d try new things, but I would hate the results, so I’d just erase it all and pretend that it never happened.. It’s been a year and a half since the last time I actually drew something, instead of random doodles, and I feel like there’s something missing, a part of me is missing, because I don’t draw anymore. But every day, I wake up and my head keeps going “I’ll start to draw again” and so goes on. I’m afraid of hating the results but, we learn with our mistakes, and how can we reach “perfection” if we don’t practice? This video was the boost I needed, thank you so, so much! I really needed it 💗😕

    So inspiring! I recently started drawing again on a whim after not doing it for a good 20 years. I’m surprising myself by how good I’ve seen I can be at it. I loved drawing as a kid. After all this time I didn’t think I could be an artist or be any good at drawing, but just trying and having fun has really opened my eyes 💕 We are capable of so much more than we realize!

    I love this video and I’m glad your sharing it with us! But I wish you were more specific with certain aspects of this journey bc it’s still pretty vague. I’m an also artist that’s really trying to improve, but I also suffer from ADHD which makes it hard to « just do something » and it would be SUCH a great help if you answered some of these questions if you don’t mind 🙏
    For example:
    -How long were you drawing everyday? 1 hour? 2 hours? 4hours? etc.
    -Did you finish one drawing everyday?
    -or did you work on one drawing throughout multiple days?
    - did you just draw whatever you wanted? Or did you also study on fundamentals during this time?
    - did you look up tutorials while drawing? Or just tried to figure it out on your own?
    Again thank you for sharing you journey with us and I’m proud of you for improving and I hope to be able to do the same! ☺️

    • @keren.socadjo
      @keren.socadjo  Месяц назад +1

      Thank u so much! Im so glad u liked it. Sorry for being vague I didn’t rlly expect the vid to get this many views 😅I’m happy to respond to any questions u have:
      1. I would always tell myself to draw for at least 15 minutes everyday. cause 15 minutes doesn’t sound like a lot, but i would always end up drawing for a longer time, and if i didn’t want to keep going after those 15 minutes i’d give myself Some time and wait til later or simply just wait til the next day. But those 15 minutes would always turn to 30mins - 1 hour etc. Bc whenever i wasn’t able to draw something I’d get super mad & look up tutorials for example 😅 and after Seeing How to draw something i’d use the New knowledge into a drawing.
      2. I did Not always finish the drawings on the same day. What i would do for longer drawings is i’d work on them alongside something smaller like i could do a warmup sketch and then get back to the long drawing.
      3. Sometimes i’d work on drawings for multiple days. There’s a portrait i drew of a girl w purple hair that took multiple days. I was pretty impatient though so i didn’t do this often. I preferred the one drawing a day thing bc i wanted to see How fast i could improve/ how much i could draw. Sometimes I would also leave drawings unfinished if I was bored of them.
      4. At that time i actually didn’t really know How to study fundamentals properly so i drew whatever i wanted. However when i would encounter obstacles such as difficulties w drawing ears i would always look that up & learn & then use the new knowledge in my drawing.
      5. I did look up tutorials sometimes, usually from an account here on RUclips called the drawing database. And if I saw an issue with my drawing & thought I could solve it myself I would always try.
      I was very obsessive and also rlly wanted to fill my sketchbook I remember. That kind of motivated me even more. Seeing how much I had been drawing & just the fact that I was doing what I promised myself I would do.
      Also since u have adhd I’d recommend watching this video from a creator I like that also has adhd:

    You got me asking myself "why do I gonna be so perfect at drawing right now?" Like, if tomorrow I just woke up and discover that out of the blue I just draw everything perfectly just like I dreamed abt all my life but I put no effort on it, would that rly make me feel something?
    I think we should just draw cuz we love it so much and keep drawing, and a result of constantly doing something we love is that we get to be better at it with time
    It's a reward for loving something, for showing our love for it
