Yass I think many people needed this video because a lot of people are insecure about their art and are like “my art is trash,yours is so much better” yadi yadi..I think you’re art is amazing in youre own way and art is art..nothing’s perfect and nothing trash..it’s you’re art..you’re doing it for yourself
ENJOY IT
Yes exactly!!
lol hi an xd
@@JessieArt hai Jessie!!
ps someone on pinterest once called my art trash btw.. i still remember that btw.
@@Emmawow12 you’re art isn’t trash! They’re just jealous of you :p you are unique in youre own way
Not going to lie, I cried. Im 30 years old and I suffered with this mentality since high school. I basically quit art because of how I felt with my art and my skill level. I recently got back to drawing and now I feel like I should be at some level as artists that I consider good.
This video helped a lot. Thank you
I recently got into an art block because I felt insecure with my art and as of the moment, I hope this video can cure my way out of this block and start loving art again.
Awww really hoping you can get out of your art block soon!
Mayahika, I can’t believe I found you here! Hi!
@@ayaneagano6059 OMG HI AYANEEE
Omg whatt there’s so many art prof people here
@@emmachapman-lin2359 who knew haha
I stopped drawing for a bit because I felt insecure and a little down because I started comparing myself with other artists, you came at the best moment, thank you so much
aww I'm so sorry you feel that way, I hope it gets better over time :(. PS I love you icon! ;)
Ola vale
@@mewTripled omg tysm for your reply! You inspire me a lot :3
Ps. Hehe me too I loved the movie
@@skitterycash04 holiiiiiii no sabía que veías los videos de esta queen
@@variandoesstuff jajaja si están muy padres
I was just drawing and feeling down about myself, you came at exactly the right timing 🥰
glad i can be here on time :')
I graduated art school last year and have been struggling to find a job. I'm trying to not compare myself to my peers who are working but it does get to me sometimes. Thank you for this video; I'm going to try to be less insecure and keep posting my art!
I'm sorry you're having trouble with that, but there are opportunities that will find you! I'm sure of it!
I've been considering going to art school but im absolutely terrified that I'm not going to be good enough aadjfhakldhflkadhj was it hard to get in?
@@guppyfishbein2984 Thank you so much! I’m just applying as much as I can and trying to stay positive these days :)
@@avery4735 Ooh exciting!! I wouldn’t worry about not being good enough; you’re going there to learn! I think it shouldn’t be too difficult to get in as long as you’re putting in work that you’re proud of in your portfolio. My portfolio was all over the place but the schools must have seen some potential in me since I was accepted. If I could do it so can you :) Best of luck for your applications!!
Oh my, when you said you felt like you didn't deserve to hang out with certain people, that hit extremely hard. I honestly thought I was completely alone in that thought. Whenever there's an opportunity to make a new friend or connection I shy away and avoid them because I don't feel worthy of talking to them, which I acknowledge is making me look incredibly antisocial and off. I also finish drawings and end up not posting them because I don't feel like they're worthy of standards that I've really just put on myself. Art insecurity can truly stagnate you as an artist and I think at times it requires a bit of grit, even if you don't feel like you're worthy, you need to persist through it. Thank you for sharing this video, it can be strangely motivating to know that you're not alone in how you feel and knowing that can give you a perspective which can comfort you going forward :)
I love this so much! I recently decided to take art more seriously (like I left my depressing tech job seriously) and at 27 i feel so far behind! Seeing such talented teenagers on the internet is so intimidating. Thank you for these art talk videos, I don’t really have art friends IRL so these are super helpful for me.
I hope I stop changing my style now because I use to be really insecure of how I drew my eyes
Ahh to this day i always change my eye styles too haha
When I got my first set of inking pens, I was practicing all the time and I was really sad/insecure that I couldn;t make my lines in 1 stroke like how I see in professional comics/cartoons/anime...
But when my brother saw it he was like "isn't that just part of your style?" And now I'm kinda happy that my sketchy lines stand out... :)
meech how the hell did you know I was having a mental health crisis because of my art 😩
I have my portfolio review this summer to see if I get into the animation program at my college. it's been the source of all of my anxiety this first year. your video helped so much!!!!
Aww no!! Please remember to take care of yourself. Good luck with everything!
You must be doing well if you got that far.
i def use to think that all of my art was trash but going to college/uni helped me realize its not true and that everyone (ok most artists, not all) have moment they feel this way. now i only have brief moments of feeling like that and then move on
I feel you on the drawing traditionally first and then editing digitally - it forces you to work quicker and live with the original decisions. I am only recently able to get back into digital art after many years of being paralyzed by the ability to constantly undo/redo and never actually finishing a piece of art (I'm sure someone knows what it's like to spend 3 hours painting only to have rendered a small portion of a piece, like someone's hand). It took nearly 3 years of working traditionally and confronting my lack of actual skill without an undo button to work quickly and confidently enough to be able to go back to digital art and finish something in less than 24 hours of work. Which also made me feel really insecure about sharing my art because it was like sharing how much I'd regressed skill wise or feeling like a fraud when I had been sharing really detailed finished pieces once every couple of years.
I’ve struggled with Art anxiety ever since 6th grade or so. But the thing is, I don’t have the “My art isn’t good enough compared to others” kind of anxiety that much, I have the more “other people are going to judge me based off of what I draw” kind.
I wouldn’t show people my sketchbook often. Because I would draw fanart, my own characters, and the most worrisome, characters in turmoil (crying, yelling, holding their head, etc.) the kind of art I create is mainly art to tell stories, such as animatics. And to tell a story you have to have conflict, so I enjoy drawing characters in struggle to practice being able to show that emotion in their expressions and practicing the wide range of reactions people have to turmoil.
A lot of people get worried about this stuff though, thinking if I draw it then I must feel this way (also many just don’t want to see it, which is completely understandable.)
There were two main events that made me start feeling this way. The first was how I did a piece for a contest when I was young that, again, I was trying to tell a story from. When I didn’t win a prize to my shock, I thought It must have been because it wasn’t a completely happy piece. After that day, I ripped out all of the pages in my sketchbook that had characters crying or something in it and threw them at the bottom of a drawer.
The second was when I used to post RUclips videos. I was part of a community of animators that made animations to music to show a visual design or showed a character’s story. So some of these animations had characters going through some sort of hardship. My parents worried about me thought because they thought they were about me. After I posted a video without showing them by accident, I had to take down the video and I stopped making them.
Anyways, I’ve also struggled with people judging me over certain shows or characters I draw, so I tend to be SUPER picky about what I show in my sketchbook.
For example, I used to be a furry. In 8th grade, someone new joined my school, and they were one too. Someone found their account and started spreading it and bullying them over it. I became so scared that the same thing would happen to me, that I stopped drawing anthro characters.
I’m also in certain fandoms that have gotten bad reps before. In 9th grade, someone in my study asked to see my sketchbook (kindly.) I let them, thinking they seemed kind enough, but then someone else saw a page I had drawn and goes “IS THAT (fandom that’s considered cringy)??” I was embarrassed by it, took my sketchbook and out of rage pointed at them and said “so what if it is?! I can draw what I want, and I’m sick of people judging me for it.” I was angry, I was sick of the anxiety, and I was sick of hiding the stuff I was proud of. When I told my dad that afternoon what happened, he said I need to make sure I’m not too mean. I felt awful. I felt like the one time I stood up for myself it wasn’t the right thing to do.
Anyways though, I’m learning. If you read this far, I honestly can’t thank you enough. It’s nice to get to say all this stuff even if no one reads in the end. But, if you are, I hope you have a fantastic day.
I swear everytime you post, you help me when I'm stuck in my art. I feel negative about my art more than often and this video is very comforting and relatable to listen to :D! thank u 💜
You have no idea how much I needed to hear this... I've been feeling REALLY crappy about my art and I'm happy you made this video
literally just had a conversation with a friend about being insecure about my art and 5 minutes later this video shows up 😩 Thank you for sharing your wisdom as always
I don’t know how you do it, but your videos are somehow ALWAYS what I need to hear. I’ve been struggling tremendously to like my art recently, and comparing myself to a lot of artists around me. It’s gotten to the point where I didn’t even feel like drawing anymore because of how much pressure I put on myself to draw perfectly. But seeing this video appear in my RUclips really helps me and I genuinely appreciate it from the bottom of my heart! It honestly motivated me again and that’s just what I needed. As always, I love your videos and your art and I wanted to thank you for always making art a bit easier (and much more enjoyable) for me! 💗
Thanks for this video. I want to be in the art industry one day, and at times I’ve felt like that’s impossible and that I’m not improving fast enough or making interesting enough subjects. But at the same time, there’s a point where you gotta be okay with your art as well.
I love that you said it’s abt the story more than presenting a finished product cos that’s what I’m trying to tell myself now. It’s the meaning that matters
I was having a bad day, but after listening to this I feel better and more confident in myself, thank you 💖
It's just so tiring and frustrating to try to draw and everytime It's just another disappointment. No matter how hard I try I just can't get better and it's been frustrating me for so long
My mood switches when I start drawing and looking at people’s artwork.
This is gonna help me allot because I always think my art isn’t good enough
I'm glad this can help in any way
As a beginner that likes to do art as a hobby, this was still valuable advice to hear. Thanks a ton!
I relate A LOT about tying myself worth onto my ability to do art or to be creative in general (even tho it is something I consider as a hobby) cuz I was known in my class as the "kid that can draw well" and having a social media addiction and having imposter syndrome (also my upbringing) made it worse especially since I consider myself as a begginer even to this day. That is why I have to be more patient and more kind to myself because regardless of skill level I will not always love/like my work and that is fine and I need to allow myself to fail and learn and to experiment.
Phew, that's alot. This really hit close to me lol. This video is a good reminder ^^
I also recently discovered that doing sketches traditionally really speeds up my digital illustration process! It really does kinda force you to do better with each pen or pencil stroke. This video really cheered me up. I’m almost in my last semester of art school and I sometimes fall into the trap of comparing myself to my classmates. Hearing your words of wisdom is so comforting. I hope you have a wonderful day :)
I hate my drawings because they look like what a toddler would draw in spite of me having studied all the art fundamentals.
I swear your video topics always come at the right time for me, Michelle!
That makes me so happy to hear!
Thank you so much for the kind works. I was honestly starting to feel really down about myself because I changed my channel to do more art cause I just feel more in touch with my art and pieces and seeing my views and subscribes going down really made me feel upset for a minute. This video reminds me to keep my head up :) thanks mew ♥️
Thank you, glad to help in any way, your follower count doesn't define your worth or art! :)
Ahh that title got me 😢 I can’t wait to here what you say 😃
aww no that makes me kinda sad that a lot of people feel that way T_T
I'm 12 and I never let my parents see my drawings but they bought me so much stuff for drawing and now I feel bad. When I add emotion to one of my drawings it feels like cringe to show it to someone. People at school kept calling my drawings emo but ok lmao
I've been stopped drawing for 6 months because I just thought that I'm not going anywhere with my art but I really wanted to go back to drawing. Thank you for this video❤
Girl...I have been improving for over a year now...I only started drawing in the middle of 2019 and the vast difference is incredible.
BUT I REFUSE TO POST ANYTHING...
...because I'm so afraid and insecure. I've shown family and like one or two random people my new stuff and they have been encouraging towards me to post it on my Instagram...but I can't. I have a block that refused to accept that this is "postable art". The shame is real.
katiegmarigold on Instagram...
If you want to see my garbage lol
But do you want to post it on instagram? Art you create for yourself (or for improvement) is still valid, too, even if you don't post it anywhere. You can watch some angrymikko stuff on youtube, he talks about making art for yourself a lot. Of course, that's unless you want to make a living off of instagram... or if you want to post but you feel insecure and don't.
I do not post anything either, but I don't so that people do not steal my original characters and ideas.
I just post things so they dont get lost and i want to see the date of when they were made but other than that i dont own other social medias because theyre toxic
ur comic made me really happy. was sining earlier and was literally googling, how to sound prettier when singing and the. you made this story so that was really relevant wince i have a deep singing voice 💜 thank you
Omg this is exactly how I’ve been feeling.. Comparison really is the thief of joy, and I ended up falling into depression and quit painting🙁. I’m trying to climb out of that negative space and stop feeling less than. Thanks for sharing your experience, it makes me feel normal and hopeful for the future ❤️.
i didn’t expect to be this early especially when i just finished drawing and definitely felt the title
aww no!! :(
Thank you so much for the reminder! I was just scrolling through Twitter earlier and found some amazing artists; I'm not proud to say it, but my first thought was "Woah, I'm so bad compared to them..." and part of me knows it's not a good way to look at things, but since I got into art quite late, it's difficult for me to see people my age being so wonderfully skilled and then notice all the flaws in my own art. One thing that always warms my heart, though, is whenever younger artists come to me for advice, I'm always incredibly humbled by their passionate want to improve.
PS: I do really like your voice! (I wish mine could be a little deeper tbh haha!)
I dont think im as insecure as i once was with my art because ive improved over the years. At this point i honestly dont care if it looks like crap because regardless if it does i still enjoy the process of creating something. I know my strengths and weaknesses but i dont need other people pointing that out for me unless i want it. Most of the stuff ive made i enjoy and other times it looks awful. But thats ok it doesn't have to be perfect. Nothing is. I think my artistic imperfections make it uniquely my own. And i dont have to prove to anyone that i can be good i know im good. I only do art as a hobby not as a profession. I dont have to improve if i dont want to. And the more free that i am with my art the less insecure i am. Because i have no limitations and restrictions of what i can and cant do.
Thank you for posting this :> i often feel down about my current art skill level and im somebody who would like to persue a career in the animation industry even tho im like 14 right now i would really love to work on storyboards and feel as if its what i could do for a living
You're a big inspiration and the comic looks amazing
Aww thank you, Im sure as you progress in art, that feeling will lessen over time. That's great you are even thinking about your career this early!!
@@mewTripled :> thank you
I actually found your channel looking for storyboarding stuff
I like how you post videos like these when artist like myself most need to hear this. thank you.
This hits close to home.
just yesterday I was chatting with someone who graduated from an art school years ago and offered to give me portfolio advice. He showed me one of his teacher’s work and said, “this is who you’ll be competing with as a postgraduate.” I felt insecure all over again because I feel like I could never reach that level, and that maybe I’m not cut out for art school. Especially since I’m not a very hard worker nor am I sociable enough to make connections to get me in the industry. So we’ll see what the future holds for me as a lazy artist 🤷🏻
I understand that. I don’t think I want to do art as a career anymore but I still have a degree to get.
YAY!!! mewTripled POSTED!!!❤️❤️
yeahh!!!
This video came at a perfect time lol I'm currently scrolling through Instagram and feeling insecure about my art. I eventually want to have my online shop and sell stickers and prints but there always that little demon in the back of my head telling me 'who would ever buy your art?' this question had also held me back from not putting in the effort in trying to sell my art. I do hope one day that I can gain the confidence to just start my art business now instead of waiting until my art is good'. Sorry for this mini I'm really going through the emotions 😅 if u could one day. Would u possibly make a youtube video about how to start an art business even if you have a very small following? Like a following of less than 1000 people?
tysm for this video!! I really needed this! :D
also, there's something about someone coloring at a high speed that's just so satisfying to watch omgg
Ahw I needed that! I always feel like to feel better and not worthy to share comics or whatever. Although I know we all have different styles too...and if I don't tell MY story nobody will..But it's still hard to overcome that way of thinking ;c;
Honestly, it's great that nobody care, I already struggle with self-esteem due to my art as it is, imagine if people actually cared and judged me on my art quality ON TOP OF THIS!
Thank you so much for wording this 😭
this was way more inspiring than i thought it would be, plus so much of it can be applied to general situations which is so helpful
I really needed this video - thank you for posting it. Someone asked me recently "why do you have no confidence in your art?" and it was like a sucker punch to the gut just because I knew they were 100% right. I never think what I do is good enough, especially when I don't get positive feedback. I'm realizing now that growing up the way I did, the art I made seemed like the only good thing about me and the only way I would feel worthy. I need to learn to love my art for what it is, accepting that I'm worthy even without art, not needing praise and compliments to feel good enough.
Thank you for sharing this. I really needed it
Thank you for this, I'm just starting in the art world and I was feeling really down lately, I was hating what I do even though I know I do it well, I even thought of quitting, but everything you said is so true, I was thinking way too much on how to be liked and forgot what was my art about, which it's expressing myself and creating what I love.
So true what has been said in this video.
Started drawing at an early age, probably 8-9 years of age.
Growing up in an abusive household + the pain of growing up with all of it's ups & downs was hard, very hard.
The feelings of inadequate, not understanding what I was supposed to do or the world around me and loneliness.
Also was dealing with my Eczema for about 6-7 years + stuttering + another infection that would affect my skin & eyes.
Life did not spare me, that's for sure.
Drawing + Sailor Moon ( among other animes + cartoons ) was my saving grace. I do believe, the reason why I never tried to go after my own life was because I had something to hold on to.
But I am a life lover so that helps too despite the hardships I went through.
Here I am at 34 yrs old doing just fine, still drawing. Obviously the reason as to why I am drawing has changed so now I just need to understand what keeps me drawing today.
I do feel like I should have been much better at this point drawing wise.
But I do know what to do. Took out my Andrew Loomis book's out and will start studying the fundamentals to grow artistically.
Deep down I always knew I was OK and going to be OK.
SO WILL ANYONE ELSE
mew, your timing is magical. i really needed this. thank you
This is a video I definitely needed to hear, I tend to get really anxious about my skill level compared to others it often impairs. me from posting or creating yet i give the advice of whats the worst thing that can happen if you do post? nothing and i really need to take that to heart
I used to have a friend like this (used to because I moved lol)
They used to hate on there art all the time and they had such nice art.
I couldn't really understand why they Did that lol
this is exactly what I needed to hear today 🥺 thank you!!
Thank you for making such a relatable and comforting video!
Not to say that I'm glad that other people have hated their own art too and put themselves down, just glad that I'm not the only one who's gone through something akin to this (ahh the way I put it still sounds weird T^T)
For the most part it hit me. My insecurities led me to join the military and now I’m on the other side of the world for nine months doing a glorified office job for less of the actual pay. And I’ve been told time and time again that my work is good and I’ve felt great about my work. And now here I am. Freezing my arse off in the military again rather than back home working in my craft.
No seriously, tysm for this video. Definitely saving for later
I’m in the part of my life where I’m one of the only people in my classes (at least to my knowledge) that doesn’t feel intense insecurity about my art. I mean this to say that I recognize that the unique qualities of my art are enough to let my work have value and I don’t need to put it down (even just in my head) to make it better. MAKING makes it better and the less concern I have for the Now product, the better the Then product can be. I still get a little sad when people my age or younger make stuff i constitue as “better,” but we also all live different lives and have different strengths and I can MAKE things and get closer to my intended style or technical ability without feeling bad about myself!!! I definitely felt bad about my art like a year or less ago so its not like I’m “cured” I just need to work and don’t have time to be concerned ... u know? :,)
Thanks a lot for this video! Only recently I was not feeling well and after a long silence I confessed to my friends that I believe that I only have a place in my existence if I produce good artwork and keep getting better. Of course that's not the case, but when you're the only one who takes drawing so seriously, sometimes such unhealthy thoughts come up.
I'm feel inspired and energized to start drawing again. Thank you so much for your video ^^
THANKYOU I REALLY NEEDED THIS RIGHT NOW sending hugssss
I'd like to add that everyone works at their own pace cause while I draw rather quickly i know some folks who take months to finish one piece of their art and
Speed isnt everything @ slow artists and its totally okay to not like one art step, like you could skip lineart if you dont enjoy it, focus on what you do enjoy (since a lotta people kinda fall into this mindset of needing to do a sketch, lineart, and color i think that its good to say its okay to hate something about one of those steps and just not do it too if that makes sense)
thank you so much for this, definitely needed to hear it and came at what seems the exact right moment. hope you're doin lovely lovely
Thanks for the encouragement, the world need more positive things and love ^_^
I stopped drawing because I was insecure that people wouldn't value me as an artist. That they would look down on me because I'm passionate about art. Thanks for this video as a reminder to keep doing what I do now. Its going almost a year now since I have started sketching more often on a regular basis.
I slowly stopped drawing but I love doing it. I just don't like my art but I never thought this way until I started comparing and saying they're much better than me. I want to get out of the phase we're I hate my art. I want to get back into drawing and I want to get back to being creative.
I need this
This video came at the perfect time!!! I literally just finished a comic for my capstone and have major impostor syndrome about it... but I’m also learning to be proud of it too! I’m gonna leave the link since I have to get better at being happy about my work, even if I’m not at the level I want. The link is: cla.umn.edu/art/galleries/regis-west-gallery, and you can find it under Sam Maret (the comic’s name is Lucid).
wow amazing! I love the limited palette, graphicness, and details! :D
@@mewTripled ahhh thank you so much! It means the world! Gotta keep reminding myself that people really like it 😈
Wow, looks fantastic! I love the aesthetic and the colours. Very captivating and beautiful! I am intrigued as to what the story is about, especially as a lucid dreamer. :) Great job!
Thank you for making this 🤍
I wish I could scan physical drawings, but I just don't have the budget/equipment to do so, hence why I don't do traditional drawings, it becomes harder for me to share it online.
Aw I love this comic set ❤️
Thank you for your content which always help a lot of people. Have a good/night day!
Thank you for the video ❤
I graduated art college feeling very inadequate, like now I just wasted 4 years to basically be more depressed and now unable to do art. Everytime I try drawing, I just get anxious and depressed and angry and I can't do anything. It doesn't feel like it will get better anytime soon
i needed this thank you! 🤧
Love your message in this 🥰
IT'S LIKE YOU KNEW
Congrats!
Thank you for making this video. It really helped me🙏
Glad to hear that!
For me it's not about not liking my art. I think I'm good at It, maybe not the best but I can dish out some good stuff but no matter what I do I don't feel that "reward" I hope for. I draw and I draw and all the time it seems completely pointless. I do enjoy it and I wish to share that joy but most of the time it's like I just speaking to myself. It's a struggle day after day, as I tell myself that I should do art because I like it and it makes me feel good and I shouldn't care about getting a gratification, but sometime it makes me want to stop.
It’s similar for me too : (
Huh... I never thought about this topic a lot.
thankk you mwa mwa mwa
Just FYI, I clicked on your Amazon shop link to check out your art supplies, and got a "not found" message. Maybe check that link?
thanks!! just fixed it!
Hey can you do a drawing strategy video I need some good strategies for when I draw
Hello I love your style
Ahh thank you!
I was genuinely thinking 'I bet some asshole said this stuff to Meesh when she was younger' and then bam, yup. Fuck 'em. Meesh, your voice and personality and art are all divine~
Bish, just to let you know that I love your voice. I listen to you when I draw :D. That's it. Have a nice day.
Actually this took me a long time to figure out too. So this is a true fact and should be the official age in the USA. You know how young people are adults by the age of 18? Well I learned people in their early 20s their brain will develop by age 25. Because when you’re in your 20s you’ll start aging including your metabolism, brain, and organs. Mental health and your overall health should be a big deal for all artists, creative people, and those work within the art industry.
I feel insecure about my voice too because it's deep
thank you so much, love you ^/////^
I stopped drawing as a kid because it was too hard, it made me lose interest and moved to bionicle instead.
Haha. I thumb my comics in the same way 😅
I think I have the opposite problem?? I love my art too much and I think that might be bad.
That's amazing!!
Is that a muji pen? lol What nib size you use? Because I was thinking of trying one from Mujis website.
0:04 hello what?
This isn't going to make my art grade better but okay
❤️
2:54 i know that scratch is from ur cat🥺
