You explained the whole concept so perfectly. A lot of nonartists don’t understand that when we create, our art really IS an extension of who we are. We pour so much of our heart and soul, and even our lived experiences into every brushstroke. On a totally different note, I just wanted to say your art style is excellent!
actually, it's an extension of who you wish to be. it's all abstract, none of if it is real. none artists understand you perfectly, it's you who don't understand that they don't prioritize daydreaming as much as you do
This makes me remember of that time I let my art teacher look at all of the drawings in my sketchbook and at the end he just asked 'are you okay?'. Like, I create characters and everyday I realize how connected they are to me, everyone of them has characteristics of me, and my art teacher noticed that by just watching my drawings 😭 It's like, artists understand each other. One time I showed this non-artist guy my drawings when I was feeling unwell and he didn't understand anything until I told him what the drawings were about 🙂
I tend to draw something cute and happy when I'm feeling the opposite too. It's like, I can't feel cozy and calm, so at least I draw it :') On the other hand, I prefer to make people laugh, smile or "aaawww" so I guess it's true to my nature :'D And the piece you've made is gorgeous - so are you!
Its funny im kind of the opposite! Im absolutely OBSESSED with creepy stuff, and most of the time the time if i draw something cute it somehow comes out normal or kinda scary..? Unless if its made for someone or drawing a specific character. But i guess when im choosing accessories and style my brain just goes to everything that has a creepy or dark vibe. If its not creepy they just look emo.
Not only your art convey emotions because this video did it too. I've been there, and I think I am in that stage of fear that refuses to keep going when I am drawing. You handled this topic with so much care and love. Bojack Horseman can come as a bizarre show at the beginning but is so full of powerful lessons, and I am glad you put that specific scene between Diane and Princess Caroline because it hits hard and one can see themselves in Diane's shoes. Thank you for making this video, I hope it reaches many other artists out there. Keep growing, doing what you love, and inspiring with your art.
Thank you so much for such a wonderful comment 🩵 I'm so happy you enjoyed this video, and yes, the show can be really crazy sometimes, but it sure gets deep and meaningful a lot. I loved watching so many of their life lessons. Wishing you all the best!
Got pushed and pull to worlds I cannot explain. Just a fragment of imagination, but when I reflect on it, I feel... inspired. And then, things changed. When Creator and Creation becomes one, it's too late to divide them. Creation is just a projection of a Creator.
This is one of the most beautiful vids I have seen. How the hell does it only have 800 views? You spoke to something inside me that I didn’t know needed speaking to. Thank you
I feel like I've been going through a rough patch in life. Everything has been feeling overwhelming, and I'm usually in tears a lot. This video has made me want to pick up my sketchbook (i still do drawing, but it felt forced) and just draw and maybe i could put them feelings into my drawing, thank you for this video, and your art work is beautiful, everytime i see your work it inspires me ❤️
I'm so sorry you've been feeling like that 🩵 Remember that you're not alone, and so many of us go through things like that - things get better! We just need to be kind to ourselves and find our own ways to cope and hold strong. I think drawing your feelings away could be a great thing to try out! Wishing you all the best, and thank you for the kind words 🩵
15:31 Ok, you made me teary-eyed specially in that part, specially after feeling lost lately. I LOVE drawing and I wouldn't trade it for anything, but it's true what's around makes you lose your way a bit, thank you for remembering what's really important, plus your art is very beautiful, it transmits a lot to me and it was really relaxing to see the process, thank you for that, I subscribe.
You just made me think about the colors of emotions and then that inspired me to make a variant of a character I already have who paints scenes based on how she feels and what’s happening to her in real life and in my imagination it looks amazing. I already crafted the story for this character in like 20 mins thanks
how you draw is mesmerizing! so fluid and precise- love the overall message of the video, especially at a time like this for fellow artists 🫶🏻 this video made me reflect about my own art. i notice that most, if not all of my art is very happy! lots of bright colors, smiles, fun and laughter. despite this, inside i feel that i am often very sad and lonely. i have always wondered why that is. now, i recognize that this is still a reflection of a true part of myself- a piece of me i bring out through drawing silly things- perhaps it's my desire to be happy and carefree, to be the silly and childlike person my younger self never got to be 💗 thank you for this video 🌷
Such a fascinating exploration of the connection between emotions and artistic expression! It’s amazing to see how our feelings can profoundly influence our creative process and final artwork. This video really highlights the power of art as a medium for emotional expression and communication. Thanks for sharing these insights!
I’ve always drawn grim, dark and creepy drawings that are centered towards the concept of death or pain (which sounds totally emo and stupid but it’s true) and since that that’s what all my drawings are like, I’m always worried or scared to share my art with others because it’s so odd and different. I’m worried they may see me as “messed up” or weird (which I am. I have some sort of depression and it definitely shines through in my art) But I do think I’m capable of creating such expression-full art because of my feelings and experiences and that’s what shapes my art and makes it unique.
@@Kittylynx101 Absolutely! You are what shapes your art, no matter what anyone thinks. 💙 I actually think that expressing those themes is really healthy and can do amazing things. It's unique to you, and even different from what people are used to seeing in the mainstream. I totally get feeling disconfort in thinking about sharing your work (and you don't have to), but I think you'd be surprised to how many people would acually resonate with it. But, no matter what you choose to do, if you love your art and it helps you express yourself (whatever way that looks like), that's such a beautiful thing by itself 💙💙
10:16 massive bursts of creativity without eating, etc. kinda feels like it describes a (short-term) fixation? Kinda is the main way I operate; either I'm not interested and not doing it, or I'm interested and emerge hours later hungry, odds are thirsty and needing to go to the bathroom too (I think these days I'm good enough to not let myself get into these phases when I _really_ ought to be sleeping soon-ish). I'm not diagnosed or anything but maybe that particular concept of inspiratuon or the muse striking or creative bursts is a dewcription of ADHD traits from before they were studied as a deviation/divergence?
Beautiful pieces and beautiful sentiments. Amazing job! Thank you so much. As an artist I think one needs to be reminded all of this, from time to time. For me, it’s about trying out the myriad of shapes the world I am part of can take. Making art frees me, ignites a passion in me and is, above all, FUN.
💗🥰sending 🐻hug through time and space lol because these feelings you intentionally portrayed in this piece you made for you 😌 its a feeling I’ve grown and stepped into in various areas of my life and I can just imagine your journey to get to that place b/c mines was definitely with challenge as well
i just found your channel and i’m so glad i did. i love the way you combine colored pencils and alcohol markers. the illustration reminds me of Flame Princess from Adventure Time. i also love the animations you did. the bojack scene was so creative!
Yours is one of those unique art styles that I really love and try to emulate in my practice. If you don't mind me asking, I hope you will share your reference materials for the costumes (Medieval?) you portray in your works, because I can't help but want to study more on the dress materials and style. Thank you!
Thank you so much! 🩵 Actually, I very loosely found a few armor references on Pinterest, but most of it was from the imagination! It's very helpful to just get an idea of how the structure can be done, and then add your own flare, like how the lighting works, the different colors and figure things out as I go. I also did a few studies of the colors digitally first, which helped get the most realistic result!
@@carolemellow Thank you so much for answering my question and for sharing your tips! those are very helpful for my studies and observations! I appreciate it!
Thank you for this video. Your words really resonated with me at this specific time of my life. Thank you also for sharing your amazing and inspiring art. Keep doing what you love!
I don't understand how it works, but my friend is really passionate about art and is even going to pursue it as a career, but I'm not nearly as passionate. I only like the final result, if it's good of course, and i don't understand how people can enjoy the process. Does it mean I should quit and look for something else that i would be as passionate about?
depends. art as a job is no different from any other 9-5 white collar job and it's difficult to secure financials with it. these carefully edited videos idealizing the profession are not realistic. in the end it's only worth pursuing it if you have plans with it beyond just " enjoying the process", training is rough and it takes long, corporate environment is hell and the competition is very high, you not gonna enjoy that regardless of what profession you go with.
To be an artist is to feel.
Amen to thattt❤
Beautiful and real
And feeling can be hard these days haha. It's why we need artists more than ever
right, nobody else has feelings.....
@@solarydays reading comprehension is key my dear. But I guess we all see what we want to see.

One time I showed this non-artist guy my drawings when I was feeling unwell and he didn't understand anything until I told him what the drawings were about 🙂
and when I'm drawing characters dancing, I started dancing to the song along.
Now that's just wonderful! 🩵

It's true. Once, I looked at my art and compared them. I realized that my art is affected more when I feel a strong emotion.

I love the drawing so much in this. It reminds me a lot of the movie Stardust. :)
This was wonderful THANKYOU.
I used to do this A LOT when I'd draw.

Ai users can't relate because it ain't art
Eres latina?
This is why ai art looks dead. People dont understand that. Ai has no emotion.
