Well, in this video, Bobby shares the story of how he realized what he needed to do to make his art more special and what you can try in your own work to set it apart from the rest and make it more memorable.

My professor in IDC Bombay encouraged me to go beyond the conventional character design and I ended up realizing that there are number of ways to create art. Not good at it yet but I am now more intrigued by new methods than before
That's so great to hear!! Thanks for sharing that😊

I have recently been very bummed out about art and pretty much just quit doing it. but like your stuff is always an inspiration to see and makes me want to doodle again.
Every artist goes through ups and downs when it comes to being inspired and motivated to create art, so you're not alone! Starting to doodle again sounds like a great way to ease back into it and try to reignite your passion😊 Best of luck to you!!

Hi Bobby. About 6 months ago I asked for a recommendation for books on learning how to study better.
You recommended Limitless by Jim Kwik, I studied it hard and got into his podcast as well, and my life went on a completely different path since then.
You helped me save my life and enjoy while I'm here. Words can't describe it.
Thank you.
Omg amazing! I’m so glad!! I’d love to hear more one day
I definitely see and feel influences of my other passions in my art, especially that I trained dancing in the past :)
And while I'm still just a beginner, some people told me that they noticed some dance influences in types of energy in poses I draw :)
That's wonderful to hear! It's always nice to see an artist's personal interests come through in their artwork. And it will help you create your own, unique and recognizable style as well! Thanks so much for watching😊

@@BobbyChiu Thank you for making videos with great content that's really helpful for artists :)
I definitely love pushing my other interests into art and stories I create and I think it's a great thing to do because on one hand we use our knowledge outside of art that can be very useful in art plus it's something that we love and it shows :)
I was just thinking about what to remove from my portfolio just today so this video came at the perfect time. After you draw for years you notice the types of subject matter you always gravitate towards every year. I think you don't have to think about it too hard, you'll naturally figure out what you like after simply drawing a lot.
Totally! If you keep practicing different subject matters and trying out new techniques, you'll eventually find exactly the type of art you like to and exactly how you like to create it! Glad this advice is going to help you as you work on your own portfolio as well😊 Thanks for watching!

Exactly what I needed to hear. I'm gonna go back and listen to this again and again, i already know it. Thanks Bobby!
So glad you found this advice helpful! Thanks for watching!😊

Here early! You never fail to read my mind when it comes to questions like that! Thank you!
Is it just a co-incidence? Or can Bobby really read minds?🤔 We'll never know, but we hope you enjoyed the video!! Thanks for watching!

Great video - love your bunny! Thanks for sharing!
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching😊

This video made me think about transform my drawings into my imagination representation again
I just got into an advanced art class, I felt so happy when I found out I got in, considering not much 7th graders can get in. When I went into the class for the first time, there were so many 8th graders that seemed actually good at art compared to my previous art class. I am extremely competitive when it comes to art and I really don't have other skills so I really want to stand out at the hobby I love doing most
Congrats, that is an amazing achievement!😊 We hope this video gave you some helpful advice on how to make your art stand out amongst the rest. Good luck on your art class!!!

Looking forward to this wed. at 9am. I follow along with traditional materials.
That's so great to hear! It would be amazing to see your results doing these classes traditionally, so if your ever post them online please tag Bobby and Kei so they can check them out! See you on Wednesday!!😊

Thanks, Bobby. My friend, Marcelo Vignali suggested that I follow your channel. He and I used to work together at Walt Disneyd Imagineering many years ago.
Welcome. Marcelo is amazing
Well hello again, bobby.
I'm building my own portfolio at the moment, so this helps a lot.
Great to hear this was helpful! Best of luck on your portfolio😊

@@BobbyChiu Thank you very much! I was curious, what are your prices for schoolism? I'm interested in the course. As of now I'm taking Marc Brunet's art school for digital artists, but I have always believed in learning from multiple people.
I feel like my art stands out, but I'm not sure how effectively it does so! I love doing illustrations of plump women facing off against twisted monsters that are like swirls of human features. My art income so far seems divided into people who commission completely different, more banal stuff (I specialize in portraits), or people who buy the art I like to make (prints, books, ect). I'm unsure of whether I'm driving away people who want to commission me, by focusing my social media presence on the unique, weird thing that I like -- or if I should double down and make it all about that.
PS: I love Schoolism! Art school isn't teaching me any art skills yet, so I'm sneaking in some Schoolism on the side, so that I'm still levelling up my skills as I go.
It's never a bad idea to experiment posting different things and seeing what works best for you and your freelance business! You could try posting more personal work for a few weeks, and then more portraiture, and then see what the response is and adjust however you like😊 Thank you for watching and for your kind words about Schoolism!! Best of luck to you!

Saint!
Very cool seeing you resize and move stuff around. I have some experience in photoshop but I am mostly working traditionally. Little by little I learn more about digital art.
It's so helpful to see the process happen in front of your eyes! In case you didn't know, Bobby also teaches "Digital Painting" on Schoolism if you want to check it out and get a more in-depth look at Bobby's approach to digital painting! schoolism.com/courses/painting/digital-painting-bobby-chiu

@@BobbyChiu Can i do just one month at a time? Also is there a basic course for working in photoshop. I mean I do know some stuff and I have a small tablet and pen but I could never figure out how to create thick and thin lines that are smooth. I paint splashes on windows and can create very nice lines but working smaller or on computer I haven't achieved that.

Awesome Video!!! I've have struggled with my own artistic voice and truly finding it was mostly to think of the stuff I love and find interest in outside of Art.
Again awesome video Bobby 👏👏👏
It's one of the best ways to make your art work more genuine!😊 Thanks for watching!!

Wow I woke up thinking about this very topic and just feeling like making my portfolio exactly what you advised against. Being patient and following passion is so hard Bobby! Thanks for the advice. Hopefully, this means I’m on the vibe and I’m on my way. Hope you have a great day.
So glad to hear this video came out at a good time for you! Hope this advice helps you out as you create your portfolio and look for work! Best of luck!!😊

There's this drawing contest where you can win a drawing tablet. Just seeing the competition makes me worry so much. I think I have a chance since there are some flaws with the way they drew. But still, I hope this helps me. The theme is a cave and I suck at drawing rocks which ruined my other drawing wit everything else looking nice.
It takes courage to enter a drawing contest, so be proud of yourself for that!! And best of luck!🤗

Thank you for this video. I just began my last quarter of college and I'm currently brainstorming my passion project for my final class. Ideally, this will be the project that will set me apart and show recruiters what I'm passionate about... and I've been stuck on which and how to put them all together. The constant stress and worry of finding a job has been a lot and this video is reassuring that I'm doing ok. Thank you Bobby!!
So great to hear this video gave you the reassurance you needed. Best of luck to you as you begin your final project, and congrats!!! 😊

Great video Bobby! How can we access the old website of schoolism which I have account with an a subscription
Hi Rajiv, Pls email info(at)Schoolism.com
I love the drawing! Inspired by the banana taped to the wall, I assume. Great attitudes and personalities
Haha, that's right! Glad you enjoyed the video and drawing, thanks for watching!😊

another one of my main interests besides painting are also animals, which is why it is what i mainly paint. i express that passion and i try to show the world their beauty from my eyes. but at some point it feels unoriginal. there are so many animal artists and even while scrolling through instagram i think, “wow, they are all amazing. but they are all the same,too”. so it makes me think obviously, that i am just another one of the bunch. im trying to figure out how to stand out and spice it up, although it feels contradictory. it IS what i love doing, and at the same time i feel like i need to change my style to get recognition. and that feels wrong in someway.. idk if all that made sense
My advice is tell your OWN story in your art as much as u can. For example: an animal trying to draw and getting frustrated at doing the same thing over and over again (maybe next to a stack of the same drawing) -but you’d know better than me. I post my stuff in ig and don’t talk on there too much. Telling my own story is what helped me stand out and get ppl listening a bit more. Good luck. Find your voice first, then after that be consistent with it. 🖍💯 -mark
Is his right arm longer than his left arm?
By the way, a Japanese manga editor once told me something similar. He asked me "What are your interests other than manga?" but I didn't have so much to respond since I was completely obsessed with manga only. w
it is but thought... eh... I'm ok with it... hopefully it adds to the feeling of perspective but if it doesn't, I'm fine with it.
@@BobbyChiu It could be a character with some weird genetic disorder 💪
I have the problem of having too many interests... I love animals (did a PhD in biology), I love kids (I have 3), I love acroyoga (about 10 hours of training a week) and I love stories, writing, etc... (2 blogs) I love drawing (obviously;) but also other arts (sculpting) and crafts (sewing). So my art is like my life - way to eclectic and not enough specific...
omg same, i have too many interests too amd some of it actually contradict each other like i love gardening, sometimes i draw landscape cottagecore painting, but i also love futuristic motorcycle akira type, looking at my portofolio is just weird lol
I have a lot of interests as well. I just concentrate on one at a time for longer periods of time.
hey bobby ive always wannted to ask you this..how can iovercome the fear of "am i good enough"?
Check out this video of Bobby's that might help answer that😊: ruclips.net/video/cpnwRO0qQEU/видео.html

@@BobbyChiu thans
hey
silly question here : What do I do if I don't really have any interest outside of art?
I'm still young so maybe it will happen with time but for now, I don't really have any.. interest
i dont know what you define as interest. i dont think its possible to not have any interest outside art cus even when you are painting everything you still have something you like painting more than the other. for me i love painting portraits and emotions rather than still life and buildings. more recently i paint cats, sunsets and clouds because i actually love those things
That is great advice, Amna! Try thinking about what you normally do in your spare time. Even if it's just watching TV or playing video games, you could totally incorporate themes you like from your favorite show or game into your work as well! Best of luck😊
~S
@@BobbyChiu oh ok, thanks :D
I'm gonna try to really understand what I like in the things I'm watching/playing
thanks 😊
everybody are impress the rabbit and the carrot
me thinking what my non-art related interests are....
You got this! It could be anything - cars, animals, music, video games, TV/movies, sports...you name it! Good luck :)
