"Can we go like two days without a child being bullied on tiktok for being a beginner?" YES!! THANK YOU FOR SAYING IT!! I FUCKING HATE THAT BEGINNING ARTISTS CANT JUST BE BEGINNERS
@@pibawww Dude, they're kids. Have you ever met a child? Most children want likes because they think it'll make them popular or validated. It's a normal thing kids do, it's like showing your art off to family so you can get praised for it. Most kids do that in some way. And kids don't understand how to be humble until they're taught, which doesn't mean you get the pass to harass and bully them. All that does is make the child more likely to give up on the craft instead of learning to improve. When you attack someone instead of talking with them in a calm discussion, you just end up propitiating this toxic environment where simple mistakes are met with more hostility than they deserve. Kids and beginners will grow out of the behavior with time and learning and they don't need that to be impeded by a fuck ton of randos hounding them because they had a little bit of an ego about their art.
I gave up on having a style a while ago. Not because I don't want one but because I want each different project I work on to have its own distinct feel and aesthetic, and because I like changing my style from piece to piece. Lately I've been absorbing my friends' art styles since we all collaborate on ideas together for our show pilot
I mean the ability to change style is rather helpful in the art industry if you are interested in it join it but even then having different style to different project is also helpful in establishing the feels and identity of the project you are going for
Everyone has a style, even if it isn't consistent. Unless a person can completely change everything down to the basics, it's all just a variation of the same style. (Keep in mind this is a broad statement, I don't know what your work looks like so I can't say. But overall a style is just the way an artist approaches a piece and it doesn't often change as much as some people think.)
Im in the same boat, I mean, I still technically have a style (mostly because I still have a lot to learn about art before I can actually make distinct styles) but I want to have a different feel for each oc group I have, so I can distinguish between them by just looking at the style
13:46 you have no idea how like revolutionary the notion of "I had my fun and didnt want to add more details so I just posted it" was to me. Thanks for rewiring my brain, love your work June
I know that 11:36 is the expression you meant but I CANNOT GET OVER THE EXPRESSION THAT SHOWS AT 11:39 FOR A SPLIT SECOND WITH THE EYES UP IT LOOKS LIKE SHE'S PRAYING FOR STRENGTH THROUGH THE DUMP LMFAO (Love your art June!! You're one of my favorite artists and I always love getting to see your workflow and process in tackling pieces! Can't wait to see your next awesome vid!)
YIPPEE I GOT A LIKE!!! But fr though, watching you explain in real time EXACTLY what I went through in terms of feeling stagnet in my art and then rediscovering that fun spark I had when I was a kid, when I didn't care so much about the "rules"... Was so extremely validating. Thank you for talking about it as an artist I look up too!! 💯🫶🏾
whenever june posts it gives me a giant boost of motivation to draw its great also personally, style wise, at the moment ive just.. stopped trying to be consistent from character to character. this character has anime eyes, this character has dot eyes - the variations made art alot more fun for me instead of just trying to stick to one concrete style. experimentation is important to grow in art, so it shouldnt be forgotten
I love how you how you have been leaning towards instructional and encouraging material. Like, you want to give people guidance but also give them permission to just do the thing the way they want to do the thing. Love watching you go through your study process and I love hearing you, a fairly successful artist, say that you will never stop learning. I got a lot more I could say but no one likes a wall of text. Just know I appreciate you what you do for your community!
That advice was genuinely so helpful, and hearing someone enthuse about how much they love their art and drawing it was healing in a way I didn’t know I needed
came for the zzz art, stayed for the introspective art talk. youre such an inspiration for me, and i think you gave well thought out advice that could help so many artists. thank you, june!
Your exploration of art styles in the past ? months? god what is time, has inspired me so heavily. I was stuck in "only realism is good" for so long without even realizing it, and when you started finding the style you currently have it blew my mind. Even though it maybe even shouldnt have?? If you get what I mean? I had seen art styles i guess similar to yours, non-realism and whatnot. Stylized to look interesting and cool instead of always realism-accurate. But when you found your style, it really just clicked in my head. I adore the way you draw, the designs you make, the stylized anatomy that looks so interesting and eye-catching, the colours and urhuhgurghr puts my mouth on your tablet. And you walking us through your process of art is so helpful to me. I have old empty sketchbooks that i only bought to be a "real artist" but I never drew anything in them i liked. Cause i didnt use them for practice, i had the thought of "everything needs to look good in this sketchbook, so i can be proud of it". Which was. so bad. sososo bad. Seeing the way you practice, its almost like..... "yeah, you can practice art. without jumping from finished to finished piece. you can sketch, do style studies, like actually learn...." LIKE IT FEELS LIKE THIS SHOULDNT HAD BEEN A REALIZATION AT ALL. BUT HERE I AM, PLAnning on buying a new sketchbook soon, and trying to use it to improve this time. I wanna do the studies you show, like the way you drew like 30 lil bears and enjoyed it so. Hearing you talk about how much you enjoyed studying art....it kinda made me realize that man, I dont like drawing. I want to like drawing again.
I've actually been trying to do that, with my traditional art Usually I erase the pencils (totally not Yandex suggesting "penis"), mostly to get rid of the guidelines But lately... I just don't
June panicking over how it looks like one of the characters they drew was taking a shit is so funny to me and honestly I relate to that fearful energy way more than I realized! Anyways I think it's at 11:34 that you can see it but I could be wrong lol
2:48 haven’t finished the video yet but i’m so glad this phenomena got popularised recently!!! i love seeing ppl draw eyelashes this way and honestly i think your description’s been the closest i’ve seen to accurately describing it ahjskahd
hey i just wanna say, as someone who has watched ur stuff for a while now and looked up to you and your art, this video really opened my eyes to something. i haven't loved my art for a long time and it's part of why my projects always fall through. hearing you mention that i can just work on a piece until i'm no longer having fun with it... idk that unlocked something in me. i think i'm gonna go back to my projects now with a new outlook
Alright. I kept seeing your thumbnails in my recommendations and I never clicked on any of your videos until now… and it’s so good ?? The process of learning how to draw a new character and adapt them into your art-style is very fascinating and inspiring.
I know I’m saying this as a complete stranger on the internet, but I’m genuinely so proud and so so happy that you’re enjoying making art again!! Over the last couple of years, it always sounded like your expectations set on yourself were always just out of reach when it came to your art. I’ve always loved hearing and seeing your progress, but the genuine stress you’d express about pieces not turning out right and how much work and time and energy you’d put into projects to make them reach those high expectations-bestie, I was worried for you and the burnout that comes with that mindset! But the absolute relief I felt hearing and seeing you have fun with art, and-most importantly of all-believing in yourself and your abilities and your process??? I’m so proud of you, June. As long as you’re enjoying what you’re making, I can guarantee you we’ll all be here to support you!
It’s nice to hear that you are comfortable with your art again June! It’s really nice watching your videos knowing you are having just as much fun drawing as we do watching:D! I also recently got to a point where I feel confident and honestly ridiculously happy about my art too! Plus just learning that not everyone will see every mistake and that art shouldn’t feel tiring/ painful. But fun is so freeing!
your art has always been so incredible to me, and in some ways I'm always so jealous at how good your studies look and how enthusiastic you are about drawing since it's become so not fun for me lol all that being said I am so happy to have been here watching your art grow and develop and it's so nice to hear you sound so genuinely pleased with everything your making because it really all is so incredible and you're a very inspiring artist (I also have always wanted to thank you? mini tangent but, I met my best friend through one of your OOOLD commission livestreams (she's my roommate now) and meeting her lead me to meeting my partner who I'm planning to marry in december so?? thank you for being such an inspiring artist you could put me and my favorite people on a path to meeting eachother
the way you talk about drawing literally makes me so over the moon - i love hearing your ups and downs and listening to the things you’ve learned and the way you sound so excited to just create and tap into the euphoria of just making things!!!! i can really tell you’re having so much fun with the experiments, and it single-handedly has made me think of art in such a fun, rediscovered way?? i’m vowing to try going easier on myself, and i’m trying new things like watercolors and oil pastels for fun, ugh this was genuinely so inspirational💗💗 i tend to get in big ruts bc i’m still young and not very good yet, but you’re making me want to fall in love with creating things all over again june, AAA!!!!! i especially loved the part about ‘cheats’ and breaking convention, that was so motivating for me, being a young artist who can’t always seem to get it ‘right’!! aaaa but i’m yapping, thank you, im gonna go make some art!!!!!! 💗💗💗
It's so amazing to see you go from, 'and my finished work is good enough, though I'm sure I could have done better' to now where you say, 'And all of these pieces came out and I was like, damn, I drew that' and then go on to talk about the progress you've made in relaxing into your art and having fun again. It's amazing to see you come so far. It gives me hope with my own art journey. It has ups and downs, but in the end, this is the kind of relationship with my artistic process that I want. You're an inspiration, and your journey over the years has been amazing to watch ❤❤❤❤
Cant thank you enough for the advice and all the effort you do for us. Ive been in a slump for about 2/3 years now to where i cant get myself to draw unless im told to draw a specific thing. Sketching has honestly lost the fun it used to have in it and ive been stuck since. Now i have motivation to go experiment, which often goes nowhere, but im going to make sure that it wont this time.
your process inspires me so much june!! it makes me feel unafraid to misunderstand things and motivated to try my best and keep learning even if it means taking breaks on a piece to really study what im struggling with. a lot of my art stress comes from feeling like i have to throw myself at a piece until its absolutely finished, but seeing someone as talented and accomplished as you acknowledge that even you struggle and study things mid-project makes me feel so happy and confident. thank you!!
man idk what happened but i want whatever june is having, they went from depressed hanging on with a snide joke to genuine all consuming joy and love for life bro really went from "i draw because i love art and i love art because ive always loved art and i cant stop loving art" to "i draw because i love experiencing and appreciating all the world has to offer, and i love art because it allows me to express those fascinating and delightful aspects of the world" can i have some of that happy pill pls no but seriously i can see why your mom was emotional, and i dont think its just because of how exciting and monumental your love for your art is i could audibly hear you slowly getting more and more burnt out, more and more depressed over the past few years of watching, but its almost like with this video you are a whole new person. happier, brighter, your joy in your art is infectious, and from the sound of your voice its almost like you don't truely realize how big of a difference it is obviously, i dont have insight to know what your day to day life is like, what you dont post online or speak of to others. but just from your emotions concerning your art, its like night and day. and its beautiful. your growth, your strength, is beautiful
18:28 ahhhh I drew that!!! Literally my dream for my fanart to be featured in your videos since I started watching you (about 5 years ago I think). Thanks so much for making little me’s dream come true 💕💕💕
I’m genuinely trying to learn how to love art again because I feel like I’m just so bad at it and it’s been years and god the feeling of falling behind is so real But advice like this gives me hope, thank you June ^^
I was culling through my subscriptions and I found that I had been subscribed to you for over a decade now (since 2013) and that is because you used to make Warrior Cats content! Very glad to see you're thriving, hells yeah!
I just wanna say you talking about how sometimes you just leave things unfinished, making poses that make no sense because it looks cool, and just overall doing ur own thing and just chillin has made me see the joy in art again. Not everything has to be perfect, sometimes it looks better when it isn’t “prefect”. Just leaving rough drafts/ joy sketches looking a little wonky proportions wise because you know you now how to fix them is such a good way of letting yourself quote on quote breath in your art. It feels nice to sit down, do a sketch and tell myself that it doesn’t have to look good. Thank you!❤ you made me realize again that art is supposed to be fun
This video made me just. So happy. Knowing someone whose art I’ve looked up to for years is also finding joy in learning and growing as an artist is just such an encouraging thing.
Oh yes! I'm practicing doing different styles and I'm super glad I saw your video popped up. Thank you so much 🌸 Definitely I just enjoy seeing different shows/movies/books/game character designs and I always wanted to learn how to draw the style. I usually pay attention towards their personality too, and outfits on what they are wearing. I will definitely keep rewatching this video about Stylizing. 🌸✨🌸
Honestly what helped me with the whole style question was just going with the flow and choosing a process, rather than an artstyle, to create something that I like
I love the way you do concept art! It would be really fun to see a video sometime focused on making fun and engaging concept art. Everytime I try to draw my characters concept art or just see concept art it's usually turn arounds and like some separate art pieces here and there on the page to give an impression of what the characters are like but when binging your videos I notice your concept art feels more like a whole cohesive dynamic art piece. Like it all comes together instead of like just existing next to each other on a page.
i found one of your shorts and instantly fell in love. definitely going to continue watching ! i love the advice you give, and its so cool how you’ve found your style for the most part and can really find so much joy in your pieces, not caring for the typical rules of art unless it makes you happy to use them. its so inspiring to hear how much you really do enjoy art and the process of it, i thank you a ton for sharing your experience and pieces with the world!
I’ve been watching your videos for years and Id like to say that you have definitely helped me grow my own style. I used to want a very realistic style, but as you did your prism designs over the years, I’ve noticed that I liked a more stylized way of drawing. You really inspired me to follow through with it and watching this video has definitely made me want to push my own stylization farther!
Your personality is so adorable and your positivity is so infectious!! Everyone could gain a lot from having an art friend like you. Especially above anything though man the way you study is just mind blowing to me, I feel like it really reshaped my whole perspective like I can't even imagine being like "man I'm having some slight problems drawing this hoodie" and then go do seven pages of dozens of drawings studying every intricacy of how hoodies work just to go back to my first drawing to be like "ah, see there it is." Like man it really puts into perspective why how people become SO skilled. I feel like I am the type to just draw maybe one thing every 2... or maybe lately every... 4-5 weeks annnnd each one I do still do ambitious things to push myself but like that's my one drawing of the month so I just kinda bash my head into the wall with trial and error over and over and hundreds and thousands of erasures and retries until it finally comes together into something I like. I really relate to when you were talking about how all the fun got sucked out of art by trying to appeal to every negative feedback you've ever gotten and follow the "rules" I feel like that's where I've been the last few years college especially really killed any sort of artistic passion I had, I went from drawing every day my entire life for fun to forcing myself to mayyyybe do it once a month if I'm lucky. This has really inspired me though! I can tell how much you love drawing and it shows so much in how much effort and joy you put in! I hope to be the same someday too now ☺ Lets see if I stick to it lol Side note, is there anywhere to like watch you do studies live? I feel like it'd be a really fun way to try drawing all kinds of things that I'd never do on my own. Plus you'd be an amazing teacher with your positivity ^^ I'm sure tons of other people would love to see that kind of stuff from you too if you don't somewhere already (I'm new)
Damn, the contrast between how your relationship with art has changed between now compared to your warriors redraw speedpaint is truly night and day. I remember you feeling so lost and weighed down by expectations that it wasn't fun for you. It makes me really happy to listen to this video and actually *hear* how much happier you are making art. It's no wonder your mom was so emotional, I am too! I'm so glad your relationship with art has improved to the point that you can feel satisfaction with what you've made so far, and I'm looking forward to seeing where your art will take you next ❤
Honestly, you openly talking about allowing yourself to make mistakes and just do what looks good has kinda helped me out in my art journey. I’m letting go of my more perfectionist side and it’s genuinely just making art fun again. I’m even using a sketchbook and drawing traditionally for the first time since high school! And it’s fun! Honestly, thanks for helping me get out of this rut, you’re a massive inspiration for me, especially with your newer style, and I can’t wait to see what happens next!
whenever I see your art it just keeps getting INSANLELY BETTER! I don't know how to describe how amazing your art is. Its so so so inspirational and I know you defiantly hear that a lot but I seriously never thought any artist could be this skilled, thank you for being a huge inspiration to me
I have that feeling too! I worked so hard to learn art, more so with a learning disability that makes it even harder to learn! But, to put it in words you said, by allowing myself to stop trying to fit the circle into the circle hole, that I just just do what I want how I want and dip right into that square hole! Nothing in art is ever perfect, that be hands, eyes, hair, ect...everything has it's own characteristics that suit only that character and we shouldn't make people feel bad if it "doesn't fit the norm"! We should embrace it for it's uniqueness! Art is a beautiful thing that even the artist themselves are unique and so should the art be :)
DUDE. the way you make such a simple video idea and executing it so wonderfully and i love how well you can tie in real life things to how you simply draw. lots of love, neb 😋
I would live more style explanations and videos!! Especially regarding your old work. I like hearing the thought porcess behind your drawing and how thats evolved. Even something from a decade ago would be cool.
Your art has influenced me since I was a kid and honestly it’s a breath of fresh air knowing the people you look up to aren’t perfect either. There always improvement and you motivate me to try new things and experiment and I’ve had so much fun just getting out of my comfort zone all thanks to you June!
really enjoy your channel, this is the first time i see one of your vids, and tbh i put it on as back ground noise- but im hooked!! you really are kindling my love for drawing- ive lost my spark but i see our similarities, you have inspired me again!! soo... thank you!! uwu
Your joy for art is so contagious, I literally have to wait until Im home and not busy to watch any new videos of yours because they ALWAYS make me want to draw nonstop
seeing you rediscover the joy of art inspires me so much! you have so much fun while also being analytical and accurate. i'm definitely going to try and incorporate this approach to my art, especially since i'm in art school :]
your enthusiasm for art and creating is contagious!!!! it's so vibrant!!!! you can really see your love for conveying characterization through artistic elements in Every piece you drew. it's so cool :)
With all the talking about June’s art and how he’s managed to improve their art while also loving his results, I keep managing to get better and happier with my own art whenever I try out their techniques. Maybe June should-hypothetically-start sharing his writing techniques so that-hypothetically- I could-hypothetically-start-hypothetically-learning from those-hypothetical-writing tips
June June June!!!! Thank you so so so much for posting this! I've been going on a similar journey with my art, but recently started doubting myself with how many mistakes I seemed to be making instead of improvements. But seeing an artist who I really admire and inspire me affire that letting go and trying to have fun over trying to draw "good" is so affirming! Thank you so much❤❤❤
You’ve been an absolute help with helping me figure out how to draw for myself and find it enjoyable again, so I love your videos and art. Keep going!! ❤
Yknow it's funny, I've been following June since their realistic art style days. And back the I wanted a semi realistic hyper detailed style like them. As I grew older I started to appreciated art with more shape language, things like their current style and abdillustrates. I enjoy art that's more expressive instead of accurate now, and I want to enjoy art, even if I have to put off studying anatomy for it sometimes.
I love how all your videos really sound like youre speaking from the heart. everything you say is spoken with such genuine feeling and raw truthful emotion that i just cant help but really listen and absorb what you say.
are you the same GinjaNinjaOwO from that Steven Universe "Stronger Than You" cat AMV???? omg your art has gone OFF THE CHARTS!!! cant believe that was almost 10 yrs ago now
I cannot express enough how cool it has been to see you get so much happier with art and how that reflects in how fun and colorful and expressive your art has become. I hope you stay this joyous and explorative, June!! Because it's really pretty!!
Senpai noticed meee 😭👉👈 I grew up with you since the start of this channel. I knew you as Rea and now you’re June. This grown up and amazing artist that just keeps growing, since I was in middle school. Thanks for everything and I’ll still be around for many years to come. ❤️☺️
June I am so happy you have rediscovered your love for art, I remember you expressing how stressful it was getting, and to return to your vids and to see you flourish in your field is such a happy feeling. All the power to you!
I’m definitely struggling with my art style right now , I used to never like to draw semi-realism but now I’m enjoying it more than my usually style it’s so strange 🤣🤣
you've been a huge inspiration for me since like, 2014. even though i decided that theatre was my dream career rather than illustration, i still do it as a hobby and i always want to thank you for how much you've helped my journey with art. thank you for teaching me and inspiring me

I love how you how you have been leaning towards instructional and encouraging material. Like, you want to give people guidance but also give them permission to just do the thing the way they want to do the thing.

That advice was genuinely so helpful, and hearing someone enthuse about how much they love their art and drawing it was healing in a way I didn’t know I needed

Seeing the way you practice, its almost like..... "yeah, you can practice art. without jumping from finished to finished piece. you can sketch, do style studies, like actually learn...." LIKE IT FEELS LIKE THIS SHOULDNT HAD BEEN A REALIZATION AT ALL. BUT HERE I AM, PLAnning on buying a new sketchbook soon, and trying to use it to improve this time. I wanna do the studies you show, like the way you drew like 30 lil bears and enjoyed it so. Hearing you talk about how much you enjoyed studying art....it kinda made me realize that man, I dont like drawing. I want to like drawing again.
June's art is the epitome of "know the fundamentals so you can break them"
God, words cannot describe how much I LOVEEE messy art! brings out so much personality
I've actually been trying to do that, with my traditional art
Usually I erase the pencils (totally not Yandex suggesting "penis"), mostly to get rid of the guidelines
But lately... I just don't
June panicking over how it looks like one of the characters they drew was taking a shit is so funny to me and honestly I relate to that fearful energy way more than I realized!
Anyways I think it's at 11:34 that you can see it but I could be wrong lol
2:48 haven’t finished the video yet but i’m so glad this phenomena got popularised recently!!! i love seeing ppl draw eyelashes this way and honestly i think your description’s been the closest i’ve seen to accurately describing it ahjskahd
I love junes new design tbh the nose shadow only + the elf ears make me so happy
11:31 Taco bell "post-workout" face 11:37 OH! GOD NO!!! 11:42 probably June's honest reaction when realization kicked in. Love your work! Keep it up!
hearing how genuinely happy you sound about where you are with your art makes me happy too😭😭 i’m really really glad drawing is fun for you again:3
hey i just wanna say, as someone who has watched ur stuff for a while now and looked up to you and your art, this video really opened my eyes to something. i haven't loved my art for a long time and it's part of why my projects always fall through.
hearing you mention that i can just work on a piece until i'm no longer having fun with it... idk that unlocked something in me. i think i'm gonna go back to my projects now with a new outlook
Alright. I kept seeing your thumbnails in my recommendations and I never clicked on any of your videos until now… and it’s so good ?? The process of learning how to draw a new character and adapt them into your art-style is very fascinating and inspiring.
The king pin part makes so much sense, similar body types with similar movements.... im taking notttteeesssss
I know I’m saying this as a complete stranger on the internet, but I’m genuinely so proud and so so happy that you’re enjoying making art again!! Over the last couple of years, it always sounded like your expectations set on yourself were always just out of reach when it came to your art. I’ve always loved hearing and seeing your progress, but the genuine stress you’d express about pieces not turning out right and how much work and time and energy you’d put into projects to make them reach those high expectations-bestie, I was worried for you and the burnout that comes with that mindset!
But the absolute relief I felt hearing and seeing you have fun with art, and-most importantly of all-believing in yourself and your abilities and your process??? I’m so proud of you, June. As long as you’re enjoying what you’re making, I can guarantee you we’ll all be here to support you!
11:36 damn thats one hell of a face
It’s nice to hear that you are comfortable with your art again June! It’s really nice watching your videos knowing you are having just as much fun drawing as we do watching:D!
I also recently got to a point where I feel confident and honestly ridiculously happy about my art too! Plus just learning that not everyone will see every mistake and that art shouldn’t feel tiring/ painful. But fun is so freeing!
your art has always been so incredible to me, and in some ways I'm always so jealous at how good your studies look and how enthusiastic you are about drawing since it's become so not fun for me lol
all that being said I am so happy to have been here watching your art grow and develop and it's so nice to hear you sound so genuinely pleased with everything your making because it really all is so incredible and you're a very inspiring artist
(I also have always wanted to thank you? mini tangent but, I met my best friend through one of your OOOLD commission livestreams (she's my roommate now) and meeting her lead me to meeting my partner who I'm planning to marry in december so?? thank you for being such an inspiring artist you could put me and my favorite people on a path to meeting eachother
Omg congrats on ur nuptials!! That’s so sweet thank you!! ;w;💗💗
the way you talk about drawing literally makes me so over the moon - i love hearing your ups and downs and listening to the things you’ve learned and the way you sound so excited to just create and tap into the euphoria of just making things!!!! i can really tell you’re having so much fun with the experiments, and it single-handedly has made me think of art in such a fun, rediscovered way?? i’m vowing to try going easier on myself, and i’m trying new things like watercolors and oil pastels for fun, ugh this was genuinely so inspirational💗💗 i tend to get in big ruts bc i’m still young and not very good yet, but you’re making me want to fall in love with creating things all over again june, AAA!!!!! i especially loved the part about ‘cheats’ and breaking convention, that was so motivating for me, being a young artist who can’t always seem to get it ‘right’!! aaaa but i’m yapping, thank you, im gonna go make some art!!!!!!
💗💗💗
I love watching people draw. It makes me want to draw more
Ilr
It's so amazing to see you go from, 'and my finished work is good enough, though I'm sure I could have done better' to now where you say, 'And all of these pieces came out and I was like, damn, I drew that' and then go on to talk about the progress you've made in relaxing into your art and having fun again. It's amazing to see you come so far. It gives me hope with my own art journey. It has ups and downs, but in the end, this is the kind of relationship with my artistic process that I want. You're an inspiration, and your journey over the years has been amazing to watch ❤❤❤❤
YESSSS CORIN! I need more fanart of her I’m glad I found this 😭
Cant thank you enough for the advice and all the effort you do for us.
Ive been in a slump for about 2/3 years now to where i cant get myself to draw unless im told to draw a specific thing. Sketching has honestly lost the fun it used to have in it and ive been stuck since.
Now i have motivation to go experiment, which often goes nowhere, but im going to make sure that it wont this time.
your process inspires me so much june!! it makes me feel unafraid to misunderstand things and motivated to try my best and keep learning even if it means taking breaks on a piece to really study what im struggling with. a lot of my art stress comes from feeling like i have to throw myself at a piece until its absolutely finished, but seeing someone as talented and accomplished as you acknowledge that even you struggle and study things mid-project makes me feel so happy and confident. thank you!!
11:25, the scream I scrumt 💀💀💀. I had a feeling it'd be here, but the millisecond I saw her crouching down? I WAS DONE FOR
Just felt like commenting to help your channel be seen
🥹💋
So true
"and omg i love drawing"
her passion inspires me so much
man idk what happened but i want whatever june is having, they went from depressed hanging on with a snide joke to genuine all consuming joy and love for life
bro really went from "i draw because i love art and i love art because ive always loved art and i cant stop loving art" to "i draw because i love experiencing and appreciating all the world has to offer, and i love art because it allows me to express those fascinating and delightful aspects of the world"
can i have some of that happy pill pls
no but seriously i can see why your mom was emotional, and i dont think its just because of how exciting and monumental your love for your art is
i could audibly hear you slowly getting more and more burnt out, more and more depressed over the past few years of watching, but its almost like with this video you are a whole new person. happier, brighter, your joy in your art is infectious, and from the sound of your voice its almost like you don't truely realize how big of a difference it is
obviously, i dont have insight to know what your day to day life is like, what you dont post online or speak of to others. but just from your emotions concerning your art, its like night and day. and its beautiful. your growth, your strength, is beautiful
18:28 ahhhh I drew that!!! Literally my dream for my fanart to be featured in your videos since I started watching you (about 5 years ago I think). Thanks so much for making little me’s dream come true 💕💕💕
My husband walked in and immediately said "Oh wow, that girl is fighting for her life right now" at the specific pose you sent us to find xD
I’m genuinely trying to learn how to love art again because I feel like I’m just so bad at it and it’s been years and god the feeling of falling behind is so real
But advice like this gives me hope, thank you June ^^
Lmao you said taking a shit and I'm literally dying how if you speed it up the maid girl looks wild lmao
Love hearing about your drawing preferences!
I was culling through my subscriptions and I found that I had been subscribed to you for over a decade now (since 2013) and that is because you used to make Warrior Cats content! Very glad to see you're thriving, hells yeah!
I love seeing people having fun at drawing
The way i clicked instantly
I was gonna comment that, same!
I just wanna say you talking about how sometimes you just leave things unfinished, making poses that make no sense because it looks cool, and just overall doing ur own thing and just chillin has made me see the joy in art again. Not everything has to be perfect, sometimes it looks better when it isn’t “prefect”. Just leaving rough drafts/ joy sketches looking a little wonky proportions wise because you know you now how to fix them is such a good way of letting yourself quote on quote breath in your art. It feels nice to sit down, do a sketch and tell myself that it doesn’t have to look good.
Thank you!❤ you made me realize again that art is supposed to be fun
This video made me just. So happy. Knowing someone whose art I’ve looked up to for years is also finding joy in learning and growing as an artist is just such an encouraging thing.
Love that you're both finding what makes you love art again and sharing what's working.
Oh yes! I'm practicing doing different styles and I'm super glad I saw your video popped up. Thank you so much 🌸
Definitely I just enjoy seeing different shows/movies/books/game character designs and I always wanted to learn how to draw the style. I usually pay attention towards their personality too, and outfits on what they are wearing.
I will definitely keep rewatching this video about Stylizing. 🌸✨🌸
Honestly what helped me with the whole style question was just going with the flow and choosing a process, rather than an artstyle, to create something that I like
I love the way you do concept art! It would be really fun to see a video sometime focused on making fun and engaging concept art. Everytime I try to draw my characters concept art or just see concept art it's usually turn arounds and like some separate art pieces here and there on the page to give an impression of what the characters are like but when binging your videos I notice your concept art feels more like a whole cohesive dynamic art piece. Like it all comes together instead of like just existing next to each other on a page.
i found one of your shorts and instantly fell in love. definitely going to continue watching ! i love the advice you give, and its so cool how you’ve found your style for the most part and can really find so much joy in your pieces, not caring for the typical rules of art unless it makes you happy to use them. its so inspiring to hear how much you really do enjoy art and the process of it, i thank you a ton for sharing your experience and pieces with the world!
I’ve been watching your videos for years and Id like to say that you have definitely helped me grow my own style. I used to want a very realistic style, but as you did your prism designs over the years, I’ve noticed that I liked a more stylized way of drawing. You really inspired me to follow through with it and watching this video has definitely made me want to push my own stylization farther!
Your personality is so adorable and your positivity is so infectious!! Everyone could gain a lot from having an art friend like you. Especially above anything though man the way you study is just mind blowing to me, I feel like it really reshaped my whole perspective like I can't even imagine being like "man I'm having some slight problems drawing this hoodie" and then go do seven pages of dozens of drawings studying every intricacy of how hoodies work just to go back to my first drawing to be like "ah, see there it is." Like man it really puts into perspective why how people become SO skilled.
I feel like I am the type to just draw maybe one thing every 2... or maybe lately every... 4-5 weeks annnnd each one I do still do ambitious things to push myself but like that's my one drawing of the month so I just kinda bash my head into the wall with trial and error over and over and hundreds and thousands of erasures and retries until it finally comes together into something I like. I really relate to when you were talking about how all the fun got sucked out of art by trying to appeal to every negative feedback you've ever gotten and follow the "rules" I feel like that's where I've been the last few years college especially really killed any sort of artistic passion I had, I went from drawing every day my entire life for fun to forcing myself to mayyyybe do it once a month if I'm lucky. This has really inspired me though! I can tell how much you love drawing and it shows so much in how much effort and joy you put in! I hope to be the same someday too now ☺ Lets see if I stick to it lol
Side note, is there anywhere to like watch you do studies live? I feel like it'd be a really fun way to try drawing all kinds of things that I'd never do on my own. Plus you'd be an amazing teacher with your positivity ^^ I'm sure tons of other people would love to see that kind of stuff from you too if you don't somewhere already (I'm new)
Damn, the contrast between how your relationship with art has changed between now compared to your warriors redraw speedpaint is truly night and day. I remember you feeling so lost and weighed down by expectations that it wasn't fun for you. It makes me really happy to listen to this video and actually *hear* how much happier you are making art. It's no wonder your mom was so emotional, I am too!
I'm so glad your relationship with art has improved to the point that you can feel satisfaction with what you've made so far, and I'm looking forward to seeing where your art will take you next ❤
Honestly, you openly talking about allowing yourself to make mistakes and just do what looks good has kinda helped me out in my art journey. I’m letting go of my more perfectionist side and it’s genuinely just making art fun again. I’m even using a sketchbook and drawing traditionally for the first time since high school! And it’s fun!
Honestly, thanks for helping me get out of this rut, you’re a massive inspiration for me, especially with your newer style, and I can’t wait to see what happens next!
I think you are my biggest inspiration right now omg I aspire to master this mindset
whenever I see your art it just keeps getting INSANLELY BETTER! I don't know how to describe how amazing your art is. Its so so so inspirational and I know you defiantly hear that a lot but I seriously never thought any artist could be this skilled, thank you for being a huge inspiration to me
I have that feeling too! I worked so hard to learn art, more so with a learning disability that makes it even harder to learn! But, to put it in words you said, by allowing myself to stop trying to fit the circle into the circle hole, that I just just do what I want how I want and dip right into that square hole! Nothing in art is ever perfect, that be hands, eyes, hair, ect...everything has it's own characteristics that suit only that character and we shouldn't make people feel bad if it "doesn't fit the norm"! We should embrace it for it's uniqueness! Art is a beautiful thing that even the artist themselves are unique and so should the art be :)
THUMBNAIL IS SO REAL
DUDE. the way you make such a simple video idea and executing it so wonderfully and i love how well you can tie in real life things to how you simply draw. lots of love, neb 😋
This genuine love and appreciation of creating art is what we need more of in this world :')
I would live more style explanations and videos!! Especially regarding your old work. I like hearing the thought porcess behind your drawing and how thats evolved. Even something from a decade ago would be cool.
Your art has influenced me since I was a kid and honestly it’s a breath of fresh air knowing the people you look up to aren’t perfect either. There always improvement and you motivate me to try new things and experiment and I’ve had so much fun just getting out of my comfort zone all thanks to you June!
really enjoy your channel, this is the first time i see one of your vids, and tbh i put it on as back ground noise- but im hooked!! you really are kindling my love for drawing- ive lost my spark but i see our similarities, you have inspired me again!! soo... thank you!! uwu
Your joy for art is so contagious, I literally have to wait until Im home and not busy to watch any new videos of yours because they ALWAYS make me want to draw nonstop
seeing you rediscover the joy of art inspires me so much! you have so much fun while also being analytical and accurate. i'm definitely going to try and incorporate this approach to my art, especially since i'm in art school :]
your enthusiasm for art and creating is contagious!!!! it's so vibrant!!!! you can really see your love for conveying characterization through artistic elements in Every piece you drew. it's so cool :)
11:37 HELPPP U WERE SUPER RIGHT BOUT IT LOOKING LIKE THEY'RE TAKING A DUMPPP I'M GIGGLING SOOO HARDDDD
With all the talking about June’s art and how he’s managed to improve their art while also loving his results, I keep managing to get better and happier with my own art whenever I try out their techniques. Maybe June should-hypothetically-start sharing his writing techniques so that-hypothetically- I could-hypothetically-start-hypothetically-learning from those-hypothetical-writing tips
June June June!!!! Thank you so so so much for posting this! I've been going on a similar journey with my art, but recently started doubting myself with how many mistakes I seemed to be making instead of improvements. But seeing an artist who I really admire and inspire me affire that letting go and trying to have fun over trying to draw "good" is so affirming! Thank you so much❤❤❤
You’ve been an absolute help with helping me figure out how to draw for myself and find it enjoyable again, so I love your videos and art. Keep going!! ❤
Currently watching this walking the track, absolutely painful in the scorching heat but June’s voice is very comforting 🎉
The breakdown of how you studied the characters and planed the pieces was amazing! Super inspiring and helpful
Yknow it's funny, I've been following June since their realistic art style days.
And back the I wanted a semi realistic hyper detailed style like them.
As I grew older I started to appreciated art with more shape language, things like their current style and abdillustrates.
I enjoy art that's more expressive instead of accurate now, and I want to enjoy art, even if I have to put off studying anatomy for it sometimes.
I love how all your videos really sound like youre speaking from the heart. everything you say is spoken with such genuine feeling and raw truthful emotion that i just cant help but really listen and absorb what you say.
2:50 I'm making up a term for this right now, it's the Lavendertowne eye
Yoo what about "Whitelash" 👀
i saw this eye style before lavendertowne added it to her art style so i wouldnt just give it to her
@@T_E_G That would probably make more sense to someone who isn't chronically online, like me, so fair
The way you study shapes, references, anatomy, characters and poses is baffling to me, you immediately inspired me to study the same.
are you the same GinjaNinjaOwO from that Steven Universe "Stronger Than You" cat AMV???? omg your art has gone OFF THE CHARTS!!! cant believe that was almost 10 yrs ago now
I cannot express enough how cool it has been to see you get so much happier with art and how that reflects in how fun and colorful and expressive your art has become. I hope you stay this joyous and explorative, June!! Because it's really pretty!!
Haven’t been this early before. Love this new style, but still miss the old one. But it’s you. I’m glad you’re happy and loving it ☺️👏
Senpai noticed meee 😭👉👈 I grew up with you since the start of this channel. I knew you as Rea and now you’re June. This grown up and amazing artist that just keeps growing, since I was in middle school. Thanks for everything and I’ll still be around for many years to come. ❤️☺️
June I am so happy you have rediscovered your love for art, I remember you expressing how stressful it was getting, and to return to your vids and to see you flourish in your field is such a happy feeling. All the power to you!
Love that June thinking they can fight a bear made it to an actual video
I'd say she killed it in this one. Ba dum chi
"I am never going to be out of things that I can draw for the first time" why did that one hit me like a goddamn truck
I’m definitely struggling with my art style right now , I used to never like to draw semi-realism but now I’m enjoying it more than my usually style it’s so strange 🤣🤣
you've been a huge inspiration for me since like, 2014. even though i decided that theatre was my dream career rather than illustration, i still do it as a hobby and i always want to thank you for how much you've helped my journey with art. thank you for teaching me and inspiring me
11:36 certified ibs girlie
Your art style is so beautiful
11:33 oh my god, I would've screamed in horror too
Dude you don’t know how much you have helped me with my art anatomy 😭 (thanks fella ❤️)
I can hear that you are having more fun when drawing wich is just awesome
Since getting tendonitis I've been in a slump with drawing, but your videos always help me get that pep back to do another piece ❤
