"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.
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 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
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!! 💯🫶🏾
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!)
I’ve felt that thumbnail so many times. I unlearned how to draw noses simply because people judged my “anime” style. I would constantly morph my style into something other people could accept. This was terrible because it made me bored of art, and I almost quit indefinitely. Luckily I just draw whatever the hell i want now so happy ending!
Man, I remember when I was a younger artist and I would give all of my characters small noses (I don't remember why but it was when I went for a more anime leaning style with large eyes and (larger than most animes) mouth. Small noses were just my thing. And then one day I shared a photo of my sona interacting with Sans Undertale and everyone complained about how his nose (or lack thereof) was small and gave me the unwanted criticism of making his nose larger, even when I said that it was my style and didn't want (or ask for) criticism. (Apparently I was bad because I didn't accept the criticism.) Nowadays I still draw noses small (on the rare occasion that I do actually draw them), or I just draw a line that’s supposed to be the ridge.
same but I can’t draw noses, my mom used to say something along the lines of “that doesn’t look realistic!” but my whole art style is CARTOONY! big or small hands, big eyes, simplified hair, that’s the whole point!
@@Yume-AW I absolutely HATE when people complain about cartoony styles. I had a girl in my grade CONSTANTLY yap about how her art was indefinitely better than mine all because her’s was “realistic.” Luckily, I was a delusional person who didn’t care at the time. Now I just wait for the day where she will do it again because then I’ll draw her pregnant in my “bad” cartoony art style 😈 Remember, you have that power. 😎🫵✨
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
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'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

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.
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
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.
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!
GinjaNinja: the perfect style is notoriously hard to discover Meanwhile Araki: *has a perfect style per Jojo arc and doesn't know what to do with them at this point* I swear, mangaka are just something else.
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!
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!!
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!
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
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 ❤
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 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. 🌸✨🌸
June, your videos have helped me understand how to just feel confident in my art so much. Whenever I feel unsatisfied with my art, I go to watch one of your videos and just go "Oh yeah! I'm allowed to do this!" And not only do I like my art more generally but I can also see how much better quality I get! All that to say, thank you for being such a big inspiration and help in my art, even if you didn't know it!
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.
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!! ❤
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❤❤❤
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
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 :)
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. ❤️☺️
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.
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!!!!!! 💗💗💗
when it comes to my own art I make sure it's happy however I strongly believe that art shows how you are feeling through emotions. If you're happy the art comes out showing it, if you're pissed and not in the a good mood the art will come out looking shitty. Back in January I was dealing with a burnout from everything that just piled on to my shoulders before I had to walk away, go to my room just to have a moment to myself. I took my anger out through words and stabbing my dairy with the pen that I used, first time that ever happened. Before I went back to the kitchen to try and finish doing the dishes but my aunt was already finishing them up for me. My mom pulled me into a hug and just told me to go lay down in my bed. I did and that's what I did for a bit until an idea popped into my head to draw my main oc Fantasy Heart screaming and crying. I tried to push the idea away and lock it behind a door, I wasn't in the mind site to draw let alone one of my favorite ocs that I own having an emotional break down. I did end up getting out of bed, booting up my computer, opening Krita, turning on some music and going at the sketch of my pony oc. I worked on that drawing for 8 days despite feeling better after what happened. the finished drawing turned out in a way that the level that only happens when I'm really bored or really into the drawing. It went from "Why the fucking hell do I not fucking hate it?! It was meant to turn out shitty!" to an idea that made it funny, I signed the finished piece with an art tool that made it look like it was signed in crayon. The finished piece was of Fantasy Heart screaming and crying in the hallway of her mansion, her pitbull Killer looking in from another hallway looking worried while a box of forgotten crayons lead abandoned nearby with Fantasy Heart drawn on the wall in a pink crayon. I did share with the finished piece with friends within the MLP Discord that I'm apart of. I've even shown the finished piece to family and they're surprised how well it turned out. Am I proud of the drawing? Yes and no, that piece was meant to turn out shitty cause of the reason behind why I drew it, no because it shows another side of me that my friends don't see.
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
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
Every time you make a vid you make me want to do a drawing, always so damn good. Wish I could find a style, feels like I can’t find or make one. Or make good art, bet that’s something I won’t stop feeling for the rest of forever. Thanks for the advice and info June 🧡
Going from digital to traditional for practicing/studying is actually so smart, this is definitely a trick im gonna try doing myself from now on !! Always love seeing your process~
I’ve never understood people criticising artists for their style developing and changing over time I mean, I get that people may personally find an artist’s older or less developed style more aesthetically pleasing than the newer, more developed one that has emerged but that doesn’t mean you get to *criticise!!* Like, I personally find your older style’s shading to be rather aesthetically pleasing but I also know that your style has changed as you’ve truly come into your own. It’s been really fun and interesting watching you and your art style grow and evolve over time I just wish that everyone could see the value :T
Aside from looking up to June's art style, I look up to their joy of observation. I want to gain that and gain that back, to want to learn for the sake of learning and enjoy the process. My perfectionism can really get in the way and stop art from being fun. Which reminds me of when June was going through this in their old style days and seeing how they pulled through happier than before, I can't wait to get past this phase of my life.
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 💕💕💕
watching this reminded me that staring down reference pics is normal and helps me get better at things i suck at drawing rather than just getting frustrated i can't and abandoning a project. also its very nice to hear you talk about how happy you are with your art. i've been watching for probably over 6 years now and I don't think i've gotten to hear you be this happy about your growth in a long time
GAAAAHHHH im so in love with yourstyle The colors, the bodys, the way you draw clothing folds, the silhouettes, the General expressiveness of it all. Its literally everything i want out of my own art. It looks so delicious.
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.
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
i've been watching your videos for what, it must be 7 years now? (man that feels weird to say) and i remember back when you first started making your voiceover speedpaints how you'd mention losing the passion and love for making art. watching you slowly rediscover that joy for art in the last couple of years has been surreal. you're a huge inspiration to me and it's wonderful to see your latest stuff overflowing with excitement
seeing zenless zone zero before it's been released (I know it still hasn't, but anywho) makes this sudden spike in popularity of it feel like a fever dream

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.
11:36 damn thats one hell of a face
I love junes new design tbh the nose shadow only + the elf ears make me so happy
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
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;💗💗
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
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
The way i clicked instantly
I was gonna comment that, same!
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.
Lmao you said taking a shit and I'm literally dying how if you speed it up the maid girl looks wild lmao
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!
11:36 certified ibs girlie
GinjaNinja: the perfect style is notoriously hard to discover
Meanwhile Araki: *has a perfect style per Jojo arc and doesn't know what to do with them at this point*
I swear, mangaka are just something else.
11:33 oh my god, I would've screamed in horror too
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 ^^
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 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!
Just felt like commenting to help your channel be seen
🥹💋
So true
10:54 is where I see dumping
And yk the obvious 11:40
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!!
For years, I was haunted by comments like "so cute! It looks like Disney!"
...
...
I only like to draw in a semi-realistic style
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!
10:48 “wow that 3D model looks like she’s in pain a bit but I’m sure it’ll be more obvious in a sec-“
11:31 “OH THERE IT IS.”
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
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 ❤
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 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.
I love watching people draw. It makes me want to draw more
Ilr
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. 🌸✨🌸
June, your videos have helped me understand how to just feel confident in my art so much. Whenever I feel unsatisfied with my art, I go to watch one of your videos and just go "Oh yeah! I'm allowed to do this!" And not only do I like my art more generally but I can also see how much better quality I get! All that to say, thank you for being such a big inspiration and help in my art, even if you didn't know it!
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.
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!! ❤
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❤❤❤
“I’m drawn to stoic butler archetypes” yeah that explains Froaklin HAHAHA
Currently watching this walking the track, absolutely painful in the scorching heat but June’s voice is very comforting 🎉
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
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 :)
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. ❤️☺️
I love seeing people having fun at drawing
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 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.
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!!!!!!
💗💗💗
when it comes to my own art I make sure it's happy however I strongly believe that art shows how you are feeling through emotions. If you're happy the art comes out showing it, if you're pissed and not in the a good mood the art will come out looking shitty.
Back in January I was dealing with a burnout from everything that just piled on to my shoulders before I had to walk away, go to my room just to have a moment to myself. I took my anger out through words and stabbing my dairy with the pen that I used, first time that ever happened. Before I went back to the kitchen to try and finish doing the dishes but my aunt was already finishing them up for me. My mom pulled me into a hug and just told me to go lay down in my bed. I did and that's what I did for a bit until an idea popped into my head to draw my main oc Fantasy Heart screaming and crying. I tried to push the idea away and lock it behind a door, I wasn't in the mind site to draw let alone one of my favorite ocs that I own having an emotional break down.
I did end up getting out of bed, booting up my computer, opening Krita, turning on some music and going at the sketch of my pony oc. I worked on that drawing for 8 days despite feeling better after what happened. the finished drawing turned out in a way that the level that only happens when I'm really bored or really into the drawing. It went from "Why the fucking hell do I not fucking hate it?! It was meant to turn out shitty!" to an idea that made it funny, I signed the finished piece with an art tool that made it look like it was signed in crayon.
The finished piece was of Fantasy Heart screaming and crying in the hallway of her mansion, her pitbull Killer looking in from another hallway looking worried while a box of forgotten crayons lead abandoned nearby with Fantasy Heart drawn on the wall in a pink crayon. I did share with the finished piece with friends within the MLP Discord that I'm apart of. I've even shown the finished piece to family and they're surprised how well it turned out. Am I proud of the drawing? Yes and no, that piece was meant to turn out shitty cause of the reason behind why I drew it, no because it shows another side of me that my friends don't see.
YESSSS CORIN! I need more fanart of her I’m glad I found this 😭
I can hear that you are having more fun when drawing wich is just awesome
OHMYGOD YOUR ART IN THIS IS SO DELICIOUS HELP?????
11:36 I love your art so much, you make drawing FUN😂😂😂
11:37 HELPPP U WERE SUPER RIGHT BOUT IT LOOKING LIKE THEY'RE TAKING A DUMPPP I'M GIGGLING SOOO HARDDDD
The way you study shapes, references, anatomy, characters and poses is baffling to me, you immediately inspired me to study the same.
"and omg i love drawing"
her passion inspires me so much
I think you are my biggest inspiration right now omg I aspire to master this mindset
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
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
This genuine love and appreciation of creating art is what we need more of in this world :')
Every time you make a vid you make me want to do a drawing, always so damn good. Wish I could find a style, feels like I can’t find or make one. Or make good art, bet that’s something I won’t stop feeling for the rest of forever. Thanks for the advice and info June 🧡
You saying how younger you would flip if they saw your art now and your mom coming to give you a hug is such an underrated part of this video
11:36 IM SOBBING SHE LOOKS LIKE SHES TRYNA PUSH THE MOST MASSIVE SHIT OUT 😭😭😭
Going from digital to traditional for practicing/studying is actually so smart, this is definitely a trick im gonna try doing myself from now on !! Always love seeing your process~
I was like "the face cant be that bad" but yeah you were right it looks shes having a rough time lmfao
Timestamp: 11.35
everything you said about finding art fun again is how ive been feeling i love it sm
so genuinely i need my style to just slightly look more like yours bc you look like you draw bodies so effortlessly
I’ve never understood people criticising artists for their style developing and changing over time
I mean, I get that people may personally find an artist’s older or less developed style more aesthetically pleasing than the newer, more developed one that has emerged but that doesn’t mean you get to *criticise!!*
Like, I personally find your older style’s shading to be rather aesthetically pleasing but I also know that your style has changed as you’ve truly come into your own. It’s been really fun and interesting watching you and your art style grow and evolve over time
I just wish that everyone could see the value :T
Aside from looking up to June's art style, I look up to their joy of observation. I want to gain that and gain that back, to want to learn for the sake of learning and enjoy the process.
My perfectionism can really get in the way and stop art from being fun.
Which reminds me of when June was going through this in their old style days and seeing how they pulled through happier than before, I can't wait to get past this phase of my life.
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 💕💕💕
watching this reminded me that staring down reference pics is normal and helps me get better at things i suck at drawing rather than just getting frustrated i can't and abandoning a project. also its very nice to hear you talk about how happy you are with your art. i've been watching for probably over 6 years now and I don't think i've gotten to hear you be this happy about your growth in a long time
i’ve spent a while studying your art and i’m so happy i got a resource like this
also she takes dump at 11:32
GAAAAHHHH im so in love with yourstyle
The colors, the bodys, the way you draw clothing folds, the silhouettes, the
General expressiveness of it all. Its literally everything i want out of my own art. It looks so delicious.
11:36 yeahhh that’s a MASSIVE bowel moment
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.
17:31 Poop coming out edit??
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
11:33 SHE US TAKING A HUMONGOUS DOO DOO HERE OMG-
i've been watching your videos for what, it must be 7 years now? (man that feels weird to say) and i remember back when you first started making your voiceover speedpaints how you'd mention losing the passion and love for making art. watching you slowly rediscover that joy for art in the last couple of years has been surreal. you're a huge inspiration to me and it's wonderful to see your latest stuff overflowing with excitement
Clicked so fast-
Same
seeing zenless zone zero before it's been released (I know it still hasn't, but anywho) makes this sudden spike in popularity of it feel like a fever dream
