    just starting my first artist journal and this is a big help. I'm skilled enough at creating art, but panelling and the composition surrounding it was never my strong suit, so I usually stick to A5 when attempting journals and just creating small pieces. just starting in A4 and this is a big help for my confidence - here's hoping it works out! gradually working larger scale and it's going well so far

    This is actually something that I’m really insecure about with my art is that I lack storytelling and I just don’t know how because I’m just not as creative as most other artists. I feel like my brain just won’t let me imagine anything new or creative and all my art looks stiff. I’m young and I know I have lots of time to figure out how to storytell but sometimes it just feels impossible. I know I’ll get it someday though and your videos always inspire me to learn more!

It not only encourages people who make paintings, drawings, sketches, etc, but it also encourages different kinds of artists on here like poets, writers, fashion designers, musicians, etc. I like to write poetry sometimes but occasionally I get caught up in how my poetry is supposed to sound that I forget what I want to say through it. Watching this channel reminds me that I write my poetry for myself and not the people on the internet or the people around me.

  • @zoidsfan12
    @zoidsfan12 Год назад

    This was actually really interesting to see. And actually made me more confident. I've heard a few times that it matter more to just draw than to do stuff perfect. And this really sends that idea home. It's honestly something I knew because of how famous the Mangaka for one punch man is for making a hilarious story that is drawn poorly, I just didn't want to acknowledge for the longest time that I'm not as good as I think I am.
    Funnily enough I'm left handed when it comes to drawing. I was born ambidextrous and can do most things with both hands but drawing I only do with my left hand. Apparently when I was younger before my family started trying to make me choose one hand for most things I would just switch hands constantly while drawing, pretty much one hand would get tired and I'd swap.
    Kinda makes sense, cuz when I box I'm a southpaw but can switch to orthodox. Honestly if it wasn't for my family thinking being ambidextrous made me more likely to develop dyslexia I'd probably be able to do everything equally well with both hands still.

    This really inspires me. I used to draw a lot almost a year ago, but then I was diagnosed with a cancer in my right arm that somehow limits my movements. The only thing is: I am left-handed. So basically, I stopped drawing mostly because I lost the motivation while battling the disease. Everything that I draw isn't as beautiful or creative as before, and it frustrastes me a lot. But after seeing your videos and and hearing you telling me that even the most humble stick figure can be art, I feel kinda of motivated again. Thank you Scott for brightening my day.

Do you have any tips on creating a routine out of drawing?
