This is fantastic advice, and I think you explained it brilliantly Sinix!
woooow blast from the past. I still use your coiling technique to this day. The ultimate foreshortening trick
Oh Sycra you helped me a lot on my art journey, I am forever grateful for your uploads.
Shout out to Sycra for getting me into art.
Aye sycras here
I thought you died
"my early sketchbooks when i was 19" is such a motivating sentence as someone who's picking up art at 20
There's an awesome artist I know of who started at 40 ^^
Even for someone like me (16) who only even could afford paper to draw on like 4 years ago as my parents came from cuba, now were really successful and i have a bunch of sketchbooks and a drawing tablet, but usually when i see my idols talk about art. They say theyve been drawing since they were 4 or so and sometimes it scares me. Especially with the development of AI art.
Exactly how I feel. I'm 19 myself and can't draw in the slightest, and it can be discouraging trying to learn when you hear so much of people who just always drew as a kid. It's nice to know it's not too late to build basics
honestly it comforted me and im 17, made me realise i have a whole lifetime to learn and improve my art and i dont have to be some child prodigy lmao
I'm 30. I'm picking it up now.
I was caught up in rendering and details (and the fact that those things never turn out the way I want it) that I almost lost fun in digital drawing... now I started making lots of messy sketches and anime fanart, and I have to say it's been a long time since I was that happy with my art 😊 seeing that video now makes me even more confident in continuing that hihi
6:30 is where the good taste of music starts! 🎉 it will kick that modern non sense music out of your butt!
Writing down this during chroma corps 2022, today I'm struggling with art block and intrusive thoughts about my art; I know I've reached a level that is far beyond from what I expected when I was 10 y.o. And is so funny that I still have a day when I can't figure out how to draw. At this point I'm writing nonsense but just wanted to thank you Sinix because every time I watch one of your videos my mind gets some confidence that maybe I'll not like what I sketch today nor tomorrow but it doesn't matter, what does matter is that I'm in a process of learning and when someone learns there is no big mistakes just steps to go forward to accomplish our goals :'D thanks again Sinix you're my hero. Also maybe I'm wrong but I wouldn't expect to hear One Life by The pillows in one of your videos 9:50
Get it, Sinix!
It took me until about 6 minutes in to realize you're wearing a sprout on your head
I've been practicing new method for arts. Frustratingly it's no progress, I hope I have progress in this year.
Frustratingly, I felt like I was starting to get so much more out of lessons and fundamentals once I was having fun with my art instead of worrying about studying. Loved the musical performance!
dude this is me now, gives you are oson to want to get better at it rather than form studying into the ether
for me, art isn´t fun when you are starting, but you need to keep grinding. If you are practicing the fundamentals, you are in the good way. Just take it with pacience (sorry for my bad english by the way :,D)
@stxrligxt same! I created a Pinterest board that’s just no stress drawing. Fun stuff that is hard to get wrong like huts, rocks. Stuff to get the hand moving. Also KIRBY! Kirby is my comfort drawing thing lol
03:01 me instantly singing Toxic in Britney voice - that's the power of our passionate art lord Sinix.
lmaO
... Is that Toxic though? Let me just get to that part one second... Oh yeah it is at first it sounded like Bad Guy 😅
We both have video of your toxic cover! Hehe.
LOL
Suuuuuuu Lee! Best artist crossover
Oh. That "playing covers are so wrong" hit me really hard and I realized how f**ked up our art learning mindset is compared to learning music instruments. 🤯
yeah. it's so messed up. what's making it worse are external opinions from people who are not even creating art. the classic "reference is cheating" or "digital art is not real art" kind of opinion from those who don't even draw.
I'd apprectiate a video on how to study anatomy, as in, which way is the best to practice anatomy in order to be good enough at it to do it fro memory.
This is just one way- but as I’ve been going through the online program at Watts Atelier I’ve been committing anatomical information bit by bit as I do my figure drawing. Not going all in but the longer it’s done the bigger amount of anatomy you know. I hope that makes sense :)
@@gongorelocksmagiincommand I´m not a fan of the atelier method (at least online) since i felt the instructor doesn´t explain a lot of things in phase 2, but just by repetittion I´ve learned many things unconciously, so maybe that is the goal lol. As a response to the main comment, i think ergo josh has done some videos about anatomy there´s one that goes lvl by lvl, maybe it´s useful.
Use live models
@@DanielHernandez-xe8kx ah, to each their own :) but yeah repetition is the mother of skill haha. I eventually plan on going to Watts in person but so far it’s worked out for me online. Not for everyone which I totally get :)
@@TheMateoSpain drawing from life is great. But if you’re studying on your own, it’s highly unlikely you’ll be able to afford models on your own (at least for long) It’s great to get the opportunity to utilize models at a school or other place that has figure drawing for a decent price or free. From my unfortunately limited experience drawing from live models, myself, it’s awesome
I took guitar and piano lessons as a young child with like 4 different teachers, and literally all of them did the boring approach teaching me all the technicalities of sheetmusic and such, completely killed my passion and I'm still salty about it 11/2 decades later.
I had an amazing guitar teacher as a child that would just teach us whatever popular songs we were into and slowly ramp up the difficulty of them over time. He would also sing every song, haha.
I thought you really meant 11 and 1/2 decades and I was so confused.
Looks like you also got bad math teachers since you could express that number as "1.5 decades".
11/2 decades so 5.5 decades?
Same here :) First played violin then piano as a kid. What I really wanted to do was play drums, but my parents didn't want that 😂 Started playing drums at 17 and now im a professional level drummer 10 years later and I've teached myself piano and guitar as well through good teachers on RUclips, cause you can make your own music better in digital audio workstation which is a lot of fun! Much easier to do something when you like it. Follow your passion.
I've been drawing for 4/5 years but I'm still a beginner lol
I'm 23, started at like 8, and am still a beginner :') (I'm okay, but I lack so much of important knowledge about... Everything. I'm good with composition. That's it.)
@@mialia15104 Art takes time, there's so much to learn 😅
Never quit... A beginner mindset will keep your art fresh and creative. Over time, we tend to grow dull and numb... Try to keep the excitement of being a beginner.
@@OMtNI Its hard to keep the excitement when your lack of fundamentals makes you hate your art and makes you not want to be creative because you know you can't do much anyway
@@didi7074 If you hate your art sometimes, you might want to focus on stuff you love and enjoy... Also, most artists are never truly satisfied with the result. It helps to practice to improve - observing and targeting areas in which you want better results.... I'm still a baby myself, I need to go back to the fundamentals.
That’s a mighty little sprout atop your head 🌱
I love art and my kids see me arting all the time, the eldest has finally started to show interest and is drawing all sorts of different styles. Im so proud of them and their growth. Makes me even happier when they share their proudest works with me - oh my goodness the improvement I’ve seen in this kid from their own initiative ❤️
I came to the comment section to see who else saw this. Is there a reason he is sprouting? 😂 (I’m new here, so wasn’t sure if that was something he does intentionally to see whose paying attention or something.)
I became aware of Sinix's sprout 🌱 at four minutes forty-eight seconds. 😄
Thanks.
I'm five years into doing art, but I needed this as a reminder.
This is exactly what I always try to tell artists, even professionals who have become burnt out on doing art for income or portfolio bolstering or studies for improving for career reasons etc. Don't forget the fun stuff -- you gotta do what you personally think is fun and it's OK to just ignore what others tell you is "the right/wrong way" for a while. Lately I've been finding and following more artists who have this "do what they want because it's FUN" approach to their work that in turn makes me more entertained by it, and thereby making me want to pick up my pen again and just do for the sake of myself and nothing else.
Nice comparisons to music, too, as someone who recently picked up guitar and have just been noodling because I find it FUN, not bogging myself down with practicing regimens to become a great and serious guitar player some day. (Though I do intend on learning how to get technically better -- that will just come with time. I am in no rush.)
Wow, that's amazing! Can you share who the artists you follow are, I would love to follow them!
What if I'm depressed and can't have fun with art unless my work is good? which it isn't, so we're back to square one and about to run in circles soon
@@velvetlovingtrash4862 i think it is a very important thing to accept that failing is inevitable. Learning to draw or learning to play an instrument is a bumpy road with lots of fails. What helps imo, is to see that everyone has these issues, or had on their journey. When you draw or paint a piece and realize that you see it as a failure, try to focus on what you have learned from it. There is no wasted practice imo, every fcked up drawing helps you to get better. Try to look at every fail as a step forward to the goal you want to achieve.
@@Szorosnyuszitappancs I'm going to keep hating myself either way, I've quit.
It's sad seeing people who are really good who choose to do nothing with their art skill because of burnout, jaded from doing art for money or whatever else. Also I notice pretty much 90% of the time someone gets an industry gig their personal art ends entirely. They just disappear into someone's NDA folder.
i think 2 things that have really helped me in my art journey (but also in life) were:
1. give yourself permission to fail, it's fun to make mistakes and laugh at yourself
2. break big goals down into little achievable ones, i think people tend to mistake the long-term goal as the only goal, so every attempt inevitably feels like failure
before you can be a good artist you have to be a bad artist. it's all part of the process, you're already doing it
I've always liked to draw, but I never created much. I usually just copied some anime frames that I liked and got good at it, but when I made the decision of taking art "seriously" I started studying and discovered that I was not learning anything, jus copying without thinking. Then I started to do the basic studies, like geometric shapes, gesture, face anatomy and I got better but is almost a year and I still created almost nothing. I do tons of studies but don't apply, in a year and a half I just did one fan art and created one OC that is still just a face without a body. All of that cuz I learned a bunch of things that I didn't know, and now that I know how much I don't know is kinda overwhelming create anything without thinking it will be bad. This video was great to make me realize that is impossible to just learn all the basics and them BOOM draw everything I can
I have to apply and try to create more. Thanks sinix
I just got into a really hard to get into art school and it’s been really hard seeing me be so mediocre. Seeing your art at 19, seeing we had the same inspirations and hearing this advice really really helped me. I kept thinking about how unoriginal I am, how bland I was, but this, this helps. It feels like I came out of this deep depression, saw this video and came out at stronger. Thank you.
This couldn't come in a better moment for me. I spent almost 3 last years on learning how to use digital tools to make illustrations, thinking that this is what I should learn about. Earlier I was just scribbling sketches on papers, and I started to write a long story in 2017. Deep in mind my biggest dream for many years was to just create my own story, my own characters but I thought it's too hard for me to acomplish. So I stuck with drawing some anime fanarts only, some people even liked them. But I was constantly feeling like this is not what I truly want, or I felt bad about myself for not wanting to draw these fanarts strong enough. Now I know that I had very little passion (and some health issues I discovered recently which were affecting my mood, energy etc) and I was burning out quickly. So I decided to "give up". On making illustrations. And I focused ONLY on drawing my story.
Now I can finally tell that I feel huge passion for this project. I will draw and publish it, no matter what. Even If I'll earn no money. Even if almost nobody will be interested to read it. Ofc I hope for the best but my worries don't stop me from trying anymore. Unlike before, when I was stressing out over my drawings and people's reactions and my expectations way too much.
Thanks a lot for this video, Sinix.
me: has been drawing digitally for over two years and has even sold art online
also me: ah yes, the video I need
I can’t imagine being a young aspiring artist in this age of the internet with the plethora of resources, ideas, advice, inspiration. It’s already started but you’re going to see a tsunami of incredible young artists. It’s a revolution similar to that of the 1400’s with the advent of the printing press.
“What I thought was talent was really just the ability to trust your own intuition.”
Always out here spitting facts and life lessons for us artists, sinix!! Am not a beginner anymore, but hearing this message still helps me as an artist who sometimes gets insecure about not studying fundamentals as much as I should
This is exactly what I need right now. I've been learning to draw again after a long time ignoring it, and honestly though.. the fundamental studies really make me doubt my ability. I know I have to be patient when it comes to art stuffs but man does it feel suck sometimes with self doubt and all that jazz..
Anyway thanks for the video man! Love your vids!!
As a beginner artist and a long time musician this video solidified a mindset shift for me. The simile between copying somebody's art and playing a cover should become a standard in art instruction.
I've only ever been stoked to learn a song by one of my heroes but when I think about using the art of others for studying, I always feel gross. Well no more!
Thank you for such a powerful mindset shift! I'm gonna go copy the shit out of your art ;)
The whole video I’m distracted by the plant on your head 🌱
Thank you so much Sinix, I really needed this video. For the past year or year and a half I realized I wanted to be an artist as my career. Since then, I’ve had a bad relationship with my art. Sure, I practiced pretty often because I’m good at self-discipline but it’s been really tough. All I’ve been doing is studies. You know the saddest thing about it, I haven’t made a single piece of ‘art’ for myself, all this time. I just realized it while watching your video. I haven’t had any fun with art since then, even though I like art and drawing a lot. Some days I really felt like drawing and my passion tank was full but then I would just sit down and do studies, and there went all my passion. It also left a negative aftertaste. Anyways, after watching your video, I’m going to start having fun with my art. I’m going to make fanarts and copy things I like. I have so many things I like, I can’t wait to have fun again.
I really needed this video. Thank you so so much. I’m going to start enjoying art again, which will actually help me towards my dream and help me improve. Thank you.
I always thought about this when I was first starting out! "It's pretty cool that I can copy the things I like, but it would be even more fun to create it from my head."
And then I would hear the advice on just studying the boring stuff, and I'd think "there's no way I could last that long without drawing things that are fun".
You put it into words though. Lived the video!♡♡
Ah so THATS why I could never get into anything creative, especially music and art. Literally every time I'd have interest in something whatever teacher I'd have always went down the academic route and I'd lose passion quickly. I used to think people were just born with talent or at least the passion for it. Took me till I was like 16 to realize that's false but by that point I had lost all passion and it took me a few years to get it back.
Some artists try too hard to not enjoy themselves when creating.
6:34 Didnt except an amazing cover of 3 Libras by A Perfect Circle!
I think the point of art is to reconstruct dinosaurs.
I often catch my self thinking 'why bother' while trying to get good. Your advice makes sense. Thanks for sharing it.
Best part of the video starts at 9:51
You're so amazing!
THE PILLOWS. That made me really happy at the end, thank you.
Sinix--you're sprouting!
It's nice to hear this, also took me 5 mins to notice the little plant on his head 😆
You're actually the person that got me into art. I never knew why, but this is probably why. You always exude a great riptide (despite actually being kinda low energy LOL) of passion and joy in what you do. You make your tutorials and lessons so easy to follow. And your public facing art community is so amazing. I joined your Chroma Corps thing and learned so much just by following your example of being happy with my journey and being willing to be observant.
Thank you Sinix! I'm a beginner and learning on my own. I'm a professional worrier so I focused only on basics TO GET BETTER. But I wasn't allowing myself to have fun. It's really difficult as a human being not to be so hard on yourself. I knew about this from the beginning and months later I still found myself practicing joylessly. This is invaluable advice. Thank you so much!
Every now and then I remember this video and come back to watch it once again, this is truly the best advice I’ve heard to maintain a healthy and enjoyable journey while learning generally anything, thank you!
What advice would you give to someone who has been drawing their entire life, and drawing seriously(as in actually learning rules of perspective, daily practice, etc) for almost 10 years. And still not making much, if any, headway? I made a huge decision about 10 years ago to really dive into learning how to draw, and I when I started I told myself in 10 years I would be at a place where I could draw whatever I wanted.
The first 4-5 years, I drew 4-6 hours a day, everyday, rarely missing a single day. After not really seeing much progress.. My drive started to dwindle out a bit and then I started drawing maybe just an hour or two every other day.. Then in the last year.. I just honestly kind of fell off entirely. Drawing maybe just once or twice a week. The lack of progress in comparison to how much time I put in just really got me down. It had become a depressing activity for me to draw, because every time I put the pen to paper, It just reminded me of my failure. And it made it so much worse that I had tried so hard for so long to avoid that failure. Here I am, at that fabled 10 year mark I gave myself so long ago... still just not even close to where I want to be.
Ive managed to rally myself a bit in the last month or so to try and get back into the swing of things. Drawing as much as I can again. I even went back to the basics, drawing lines and forms, practicing perspective. Rewatching old lectures and videos on fundamentals. But, I am starting to feel like I am still at that wall that Ive been stuck at. That I never really got past it, I just started to try and climb up it, and now I am losing my grip again.
Any advice would be much appreciated.
As someone who couldn't speak English before (let alone my own native tongue), have struggled with the question "Why can't I do it as easily everybody else?", and having to figure everything out myself, my own neurological difference included, I strongly believe in what you said in this video how it's all in one's upbringing; the kind of environment they grow in and such. My parents were the worst in nurturing a healthy and capable mind but as I grew old and endured, learned, I realized that everything I perceived as impossible for me to do, that I attributed to talent that you have to be born with, were actually the result of one's upbringing, journey and hard work. Ever since, I have been painting with confidence I can be as good as the people I look up to one day, and this video helped reinforced that confidence. : ) Thank you, Sinix.
Sinix you are one of my main source of inspirations on my art "career", I've learned a lot thanks to your videos, and this video was another one that teached me something valuable. Thank you, again.
Less warning, more singing... wait, what were we- ah, yes passion. Finding out what increases and decreases it.
Brb, gonna visit a monastery in Nepal and meditate on life for ten years.
As a young artist who’s only gotten serious about my art in the past couple of years, I struggle a lot with anatomy and perspective… however, I’ve improved greatly (overnight, even) by watching your videos.
In my opinion, you’re the best person for learning simplified anatomy and making drawings dynamic and appealing; I would definitely recommend you to any artists I know.
I hope you get the chance to read this comment!
I love this video!
Thank you so much for making it.
I’m inspired.
However, I understand but inspiration isn’t everything.
This is work and I can’t wait to start.
you grow a plant in your head, are you an alien or tree person in disguise? On serious note, I remember at least one of the pro artist says one can't build your art career on foundation of passion cause it come and go as it want to. One have to build it on discipline and routine. It almost like against this video but I think it actually complement each others if done right. Discipline and routine with passion in mind means to not drain oneself with unattainable schedule but to know when to play-art and learn-art. Like the music teacher Sinix got!
I've been studying art for the past couple years and I occasionally post but am really afraid to make anything outside of studies. Would this advice apply to me?
Absolutely. Don't be afraid to express yourself. Personally when I got my first drawing tablet I just posted my first drawing which was a copy of a screenshot from a show I really liked without so much as knowing any of the fundamentals. Looking back at it now, it was super amateur but I remember being super proud of it anyway. Sinix made a good point about having fun making things you find cool.
Just do cool things that you find cool!
U played TOXIC... AHHH.. I got it on thr last 4 notes 💀🤣
Anyone else realized sinix is growing a clover from his head or is it just me? lol
in a few years i'll be 3 decades old and i still consider myself a beginner, we'll always be a beginner at something. once you understand EVERYTHING in art, you can only think of Halloween until you die.
Lol Did anyone NOT notice his greenhead? xD
Hard to miss the APC 3 Libras song you sprinkled in there. Been drawing since I was 3 and still love watching all your vids man.
I completely burned out all of the passion I once had for making art, nowadays every time I pick up a pencil/my stylus I already know I'm going to have a bad time. I have absolutely no motivation for drawing anymore, I just get depressed and frustrated every time I try to do so. I'm unable to enjoy the process, and I very, very rarely feel somewhat ok with the end result. Why even bother anymore.
In my case, being pushed into an environment with zero people who care about the art, is the moment I can calm myself down and enjoy creating. I hope you can find your own way😊.
Japanese song at the end is “one life” - “the pillows” flcl ost
What is it with that plant? Does it hv any context or a random thing. I like hw you think, and thts why am gussng it has a contxt.
Me: enjoying the video
Also me: Wait, why does he have a plant on his head?
How long do you plan on having that little leaf on your head?
I ran out of passion fuel quite a few months back. I learnt my lesson! I'm gonna take the tips from this video to use my passion fuel efficiently.
r we gonna just ignore the little plant on his head lmao
Lmao I didnt notice until u said something
Hello hand man!
Even if all a person does is studies theyre not going to have anything in the end but studies. The creativity wont be there after the 2-3 years of doing studies.
Theres a guy on twitch whos been doing the same hatching studies for 7 years. Please someone save him from his pointless folly.
Its like a chef who spends a lot of time sharpening his knives, working on his cutting techniques, but never cooks literally anything and refuses to look at anyone elses recipes.
I thought you where talking about Alphonso dunn in the beginning of the second paragraph but then you mentionned twitch. 💀
Thank you Sinix
This video is confidence booster- knowing my art sucks but my singing capability is closer to Sinix’s.
Sinix and Sycra are fucking legends
Love this plant on your head :D
Amazing advice dude honestly so much truth in what you are saying thanks for the video. Also if you wanna come on the podcast I would love to chat to you more about this. Also the Three Libra's cover was epic it's one of my favourite A Perfect Circle songs
I am lucky to have had a great piano teacher that let me play literally whatever I wanted (including a bunch of anime stuff lol) and I'm still going 4 years later, playing a lot more classical now as well.
Piano can help too!!!
I'm not sure why, but most of my really good art friends have taken piano lessons for some time, and can play it to a certain level of degree. I can only assume it's the hand-eye coordination that comes with learning an instrument that gives you better control
The little plant sprig sticking out of his hair had my attention throughout the enitre video
Hey, Sinix! I really enjoy watching your tutorials that are 10 years old! I literally always watch them. How to paint eyes and skin etc. So good. Please make more tutorials with your recent knowledge! New anatomy, new colour techniques that you have learnt. Thank you so much! I really love them a lot.
It's not my first video on art, and I am not a beginner either, but this video is one that helped me the most in all the art videos I watched. Thank you very much.
Sinix finally trying to become a member of the Pillows i see.
10/10 for keeping me focused on just your video by watching the sprout in your hair. Normally I'm clicking all over! :) That said, this is helpful, and thank you.
This is me exactly. I've been studying art for 10 years on the side and making very little progress and getting little joy out of it because I listened to people on reddit who said "Study the fundamentals first. . . . Start with gesture drawing . . . Don't learn any bad habits." So I would pick up drawing for a few months, get a little better but then get frustrated and bored with gesture drawing and studies above my level and then put it down for a few months. And now, just this past year, I'm drawing everyday and making tons of progress because I'm just doing it for fun and have a ton of passion driving my progress. I was so glad to hear the exact same advice in this video.
I really needed to hear this, I've lost my passion for art and making videos about it, thanks for this @Sinix!
"It doesn't really matter if it builds bad habits" (to some extent) really helped me out, I've practically completely stopped doing art because I'm scared of doing it wrong.
3:20 - this reminds me of my first painting class when I was 10. I didn't got to learn theory or be a very good drawer/artist, but the teacher would let me choose what to paint among some arts that had, like cats and bunnies, but then she got out and another teacher took place, and he instead made me read about things that I found to be boring at that age (like da vinci biography) and we made a painting that took more time with him than with her, it was cartoonish but also realistic.
10:00 nice.
Also, I'm a beginner and I was gonna throw myself to a self-study plan of the fundamentals of art, when I still can't even tell if I genuinely enjoy drawing or I'm just happy every time that a drawing comes out nice (nice in beginner terms). I was already thinking that it was too soon, because I don't have the habit of drawing established yet, I was struggling with drawing three times a week when I already have drawing lessons, I realized that right now I could only manage one thing or the other, but also I realized I hadn't really dedicated time to do it for fun, and then this video appeared, so thank you for validating my suspicions. Since I'm really struggling with the consistency part, I had decided to draw for fun once a week, I can manage that. Anyway, thanks!
This isn't even what I was looking for but thank you so much for this video! Your disposition is so humble and genuine, I love it! Keep it up dude!
One Life. let's go.
You made me realize i never liked learning because it was taxing except the art lessons back at elementary just do whatever and i did i enjoyed it now i wanted to get back to it and i have a goal i want to make a comic of my own so i started to learn the fundamentals and i understand its somewhat important but it just doesnt feel fun, or fulfilling
Unlike when i draw a character of my favorite artist i felt joy when they replied and praised me for it (even tho it wasnt really good) it still felt amazing
And i think you just made me realize what is fun about it
What you said is true and I like that you actually used music to explain it all, great video and definitely motivating!
You know.... when you put it that way, it kind of clicks something in my head. The idea of learning how to play music while enjoying it is a fantastic template for learning in any medium. You copy what you like, and then you try it yourself without reference and you loop like that until you know the song... and if you really want to go deep, you learn the musical theory that makes it work. Why does it feel clearer to think about learning music, I wonder?
You know, it's actually kind of hilarious how when I was a child who couldn't even read, I'd grab any book and start copying down my favorite drawing in it on a blank page. But as I grew up, I began soing that less and less. Funnily enough, I had more progressive development in art when I was six in comparison to when I was sixteen. So I suppose illiterate six-year-old me knew better, because she trusted her intuition. Thank you for the great advices! I've only recently discovered your channel and it's doing wonders already.
Bruh sinix singing bonus
Ehhh guitar player??? You are like Jedi artist like Grogu start using the force to paint and later take a nap, in other way, super lazy for that old friend
Before i learn art for passion, i always happy and love to making art, but now i don't know how to say it, I become someone who is hate x love with art.😃😃
Green leaf in hair XD
Good video, I tend to stress myself out, that I need create art in a consistent basis to be able to grow my skills inorder to work in this field. Without realizing my "passion" fuel is sucked almost dry from that mentality, and I don't end up drawing anything for 2 months straight. Thanks for the good reminder that I sometimes need to go back to the roots of why I liked drawing to begin with.
I wish I watched it five years ago when I started making art, because otherwise I wouldn't give up and try to quit drawing so many times :D
You are incredibly talented by the way and you (and all the amazing things you do) have been my biggest inspiration during all these years. Just wanted to thank you for your existence haha
I kinda wish I saw this early on. I started at my 30, found all the instructions I could around the internet. Wanted to draw humans, did the fundamentals of perspective, ... then spent 2 years drawing only gestures because I just couldn't figure it out. Then I quit. Now a year and half later I realized I'm an idiot and I'm trying to start by just drawing stuff I like. I even started realizing how stuff I studied or kept observing is even starting to click in and make sense, it's still hard but I think I'll study stuff when I get to issues most of the time and eventually get to more thorough anatomy and such too :0.
Thanks, I always love watching your videos!.
4:21 i like this point
Oh man, fan of Jhonen Vasquez since your early teeanger years and, additionally you do covers from A perfect Circle?? dude, my teenager me has a big crush on ya xD
Great advices btw, really love your channel
I just finished FLCL a week ago and have been struggling with an internal art crisis. Hearing a song from the soundtrack after solid advice really made my day!
Thank you so much for making this video Sinix, this is exactly what I needed to hear !
Woah I was actually pondering wether I should keep copying stuff I like bc it felt unoriginal thanks for the great advice.
saying "I'm unable to do 2 things at once" while playing a guitar is mindboggling. You are literally doing 2 things at once, strumming/plucking/slapping etc and the other hand is holding down chords.
9:52 for everyone who wants him to get straight to the point! (No trickery, I promise)
