Art should be joyful!
There's WAY too much negativity and fearmongering in the art community these days. Lighten up, grab some art supplies, or push some pixels around while jamming out to some good tunes. Fill your life with gratitude and you'll never feel like its "work" at all!

Trent is like the cool laid back artist uncle who we never had, who has unlocked ultra ego and is helping us reach our own power level.
I’ve just been so lost to find the joy in art anymore
ah yes, one piece, the niche unknown manga.
hahaha love the video as always
I’ve noticed negativity in the art world even before the AI boom. I like doing cheerful and colorful drawings and artwork most of the time and I feel like art like that should be appreciated more. Getting views and clicks never mattered much to me; I’m just glad to put positive art out there in the hopes of making someone’s day a little better. I have done the occasional vent piece and trust me, those are terrifying, but I never let people see those because they’re personal pieces.
Always the perfect video at the perfect time. Words can't express the joy your advice and art bring to my life.
I love your level-headedness. I have been feeling joy of finishing the projects, not actually drawing. I feel like I am too late, too silly, too... Something.
"Remember that life is good."
I do have to scramble to find some time to draw... But i manage it. I do
Gratitude is really important. I tell myself the same things when I'm having artblock (and of course do a bunch of other stuff to get new input in my brain xD)
And funny enough, One Piece also inspired me a lot during my big project. It's something about the unfiltered creativity in it I think.
I also remember a thing a classmate said to me once: "It's amazing that you can draw everything!" Which of course is not really true, but what he meant was: Not everyone, like him for example, can bring their ideas to paper.
And somehow that was the first time I realized that I actually learned a thing or two about art and how high my confidence actually is... like I'm still very much a student and have much to learn, but I'm not afraid of just trying to draw anything... I know enough to figure out a basic shape, basic light and shadow and really, that's already a lot. Not everybody can do that :) and that's nice to know! ... well... back to practicing x)
Thanks for the video Trent!
Take care :)
Facts enjoy the process
Tell them, Trent, teeeell them!! this is so good, because it seems obvious, but not obvious to all.
Gratitude all the way!
Thanks Trent for reminding me what a privilege and blessing it is to create art and to share my ideas and experiences with others.
I think that one of the most joyful things in drawing is doing it from imagination. Maybe is because of the approach I took when I started learning how to draw just using references and doing studies that NOW when I look back (3 years ago) I really don't have that many drawings I did just for fun. Also, I think drawing from imagination will reinforce your mental library a lot better than just drawing with references, but that is my opinion. Sometimes we must remember why we started drawing. Now I don't feel the same enjoyment I got compared to when I started, because currently I just draw to earn money. And when I realized that I tried drawing from my imagination or just doing quick sketches for me and it felt good.
I wouldn't be where I am now on my art journey if there wouldn't been you channel to turned to.
i can make living out of my art kinda easily at this point but i don't attach myself to the idea of being an artist and it helps immensely. if i have to change career due to situation then ok lol. i just call myself a drawer, like the furniture now.
Dude, I'm grateful that you exist and you put out these videos! Thanks man!
Man, this is the video I needed. Thanks again Trent!
ngl, I needed this video this week
I’ve always appreciated your advice Trent. Thanks for coming on today ❤️
Man this was exactly what I needed to hear - thanks Trent
dude game's shapen up so well! You got me excited to play your game with the in-game arts man
Your videos definitely increase my joy!
It would be nice if u can add higher tiers for your youtube member and add your gumroad videos i would def join
Agreed! 💯
i was also going through a rut that spanned from this past weekend to about right now. the whole "people have it worse than you" doesnt really work for me and how I think, but your main point on finding joy really resonated with me. During my art block or whatever you call it, I decided to step away from art almost entirely and picked up a game called "GunZ: The Duel" and had a great time with it. I then realized all the cosmetics were free (its from 2003), then I created my character, and now I'm finalizing some line art for said character. I found the joy in the game, made an original character which then inspired me to create a piece based on said character.
Art should be another thing you do, not the ONLY thing you do. Doing something too often usually leads to burnout and self doubt (which sucks as an entry level game artist trying to build a portfolio lol).
keep up the great work! dont worry about the youtube channel slowing down, you are working on a game!
btw this isnt an ad or anything for gunz, that was just the outlet that worked for me. its a game from 2003 like MAIET isnt making money off of it anymore haha.
nice man the trailer on steam looks great got it wishlisted
I enjoyed the video. Over the past couple years I've been learning to love art. (I discovered it really helps when you start to get good at it lol)
Great art talk, Trent. Thank you.
Also, cannot frikkin wait to play this after all the time and effort you've put into it. It's looking awesome.
Love this life lesson and wisdom 🤩🤩
So glad I watched this video
I choose trent as one of my psychological teacher:D
Thanks for sharing this video. I dig the teaser of your game at the end. Looking forward to picking it up. Least I can do after all the time and energy invested in all your RUclips content for us viewers!
whelp, this video shows up in a time of my life filled with frustration at the process. Thank you so much for this video man, this means a lot. Im trying to rediscover that enthusiasm and love and joy for the art, and the process in my own life. Thanks for your encouragement, youve turned my day around!
10:02 I have followed a trend where u draw sailor moon on ur own style on facebook once just because Im bored. I did the drawing, it made me excited actually, I post it and disappointed about the likes. Before joining that drawing trend, I knew I cant keep up with the incoming trends.
It will really be exhausting following a trend, I did it once and will not do it again. Whenever I saw that drawing I made for that trend, it doesn't bring joy compare to seeing my personal works that I do now. Even if you look at your personal drawing after a decade or so, u will still feel that joy when u made that, in my opinion.
Thanks, these videos are good inspiration :)
Love this drawing, love this video! I feel the same way about one piece, it always makes me want to draw
great video trent!
lol, just bumped into this video as I was wrapping up a 3D illustration I was working on begrudgingly all the while having this exact pep talk with myself😂😂😂 thank you for the reinforcement 🔥🙏🏾
You’re fucking awesome Trent any time i have self doubt here comes a Trent video to remind me doing art is radical and i should take pride in it
Glad to be a member!
Years ago, your (mindset) art videos helped me to get a job, and I managed to keep it up until now, despite knowing there are better artists out there. I am forever grateful for having a paid art job and finding your videos in the past. They are always so insightful and inspiring, and you say exactly what has to be said even though it might be a tough pill to swallow. I can say with absolute certainty that they have changed my life for the better. From being able to move to a better place, to having the opportunity to meet so many wonderful people along the way.
Being a member is the least I can do to show how much it all means to me. And of course, watching all of your content and pressing the like button.
Since you asked for questions, here is one: Have you ever dealt with project delays? If so how did you deal with it? Did you adjust the date, or increase your work hours (or from others) in order to still hit that deadline.
did Trent just say most people in the art community never heard of one piece 😂
I know, it's mind blowing, LOL.
If people in general don't watch anime, that's understandable. But with plenty of different art styles, animations and lighting like Studio Ghibli, Violet Evergarden, Silent Voice, One Piece, and so much more, its definitely mind blowing for a digital artist to say.
Check lists are useful. For mental health reasons I don't have the best executive function and for years I have often struggled with big tasks. Now days I get my pad of blank 'to do' lists and spend 5 minutes planning a task and writing down things that are 15-30 minutes long. Then just work down the list one task at a time. It really helps me with that kind of paralysis from having too many options.
Ie instead of gardening I'll have a list like:
Mow front lawn
Mow back lawn
Cut hedges at front road
Cut bougainvillea (it always needs it.)
Weed front path
Clean around back door
etc etc etc
Spending 5 minutes (at most) on breaking down tasks into an order in a way my brain doesn't unless I'm thinking about it is really helpful.
Then I have kind of 'working hours' on my free days. Typically 1-3pm. And I just do things on check lists. Now that list can include tricky new art study things or prepping my DnD game. Or errands. Whatever. It just has to be something I feel productive doing and that is different for each person.
I hpe we get more positive leaning videios like this cuz my timeline keeps being just uber negative about art learning and pushing through the "crumbling world of art" and all that jazz... like hun we have seen it all about that and yet people still make videos on how everything sucks and whatever, I just want some actual teaching to listen to at this point
can't wait for the game!
Amen, Trent. Hallelujah!
One Piece is a BANGER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I've been reading it for over 20 years!
what a gift to the world
Even though I don’t have a job in the industry. I’m grateful that I’m taking to do art when I come back from home and having fun with the process and journey
Hey Trent.
Thank you.
obrigado!
Hey Trent. Love your videos and how listening to you and the other great RUclips art professionals keeps me from bottoming out. I'm a college illustration teacher and love teaching the fundamentals. I've been doing small freelance jobs for game companies here and there and really want to do more but my opportunities have dried up for the past year or so. I've been applying to freelance jobs on Artstation and UpWork, messaging game developers in forums like BoardGameGeeks, Facebook, and Reddit, and have even been sending out emails and applications directly to publishers for a while and just can't seem to get the next gig. Even though I'm not getting the next job I keep drawing and creating new pieces to improve my portfolio. Any suggestions on what to do when you're stuck in a career rut?
Good viewpoint :)
This is how I feel about programming at this point. Relentless flow of conflicting information with the sense impending doom of being replaced by AI.
Amazing video.
Hi Trent!! I feel like I've been taking art and career stuff too seriously where I don't know how to take a step back and do what I truly want to do, I'm too caught up in where I might want to work, what style I need and what specific skills I need. Do you have any advice for not caring as much? I start to get anxiety if I think too much about career stuff (which I've never got before...)
Yessir
Your channel is really grounding in a way a lot of others arent to me. On one side youre no bs straight to the point but you also dont feed into this shitty negative feedback loop. I think everyone needs to hear what you say in this video at least once.
❤
Trent if one of us wanted to work on you art team how do we contact you?
"Always be *hic* fight'n!" :^)
Is the RUclips member content separate from the Gumroad stuff?
VERY separate. Yes. The member content is just vlogs and personal rants about gamesor development vlogs.
Oh man you found one piece! I’ve been reading since 2002! Welcome aboard…prepare to cry!
Good video as always man.
👊😎
Okk 🤔
"most people never heard of One Piece"
I'm going to believe you Trent, One Piece isn't the consecutive best seller manga in the world for multiple years 🤣
Unless you have a terrible job that physically exhaust till last drop and give no time to recover
Mr. Kaniuga, how do you know if you good enough in drawing? I'm drawing battle sisters squad from warhammer 40k & i finished all 6. I found out that i getting quicker in sketching & inking. Am i getting good?
that really depends on what you are regarding as "good"! If you are happy making the art, and you like what you are making, then nothing else matters. Keep enjoying yourself, and challenging yourself to improve your skills if you enjoy it.
@@TrentKaniugathanks for the advice, sir
what do you mean by many ppl never heard of one piece xDDD
I wonder if people enjoy my art style
how can u find joy when u make 0 money and u have no source of income and time is moving it so much of stress
That’s an ongoing challenge. So it’s important that you love the work.
How to enjoy art when your skill isnt there yet?
Accept that you’ll never feel “good enough”. Instead focus on the joy of the process, accept where you are in the learning process and only compare yourself to your old self.
One Piece is the most famous manga around the world just saying
What do you know.. you clearly can't even draw... **looks down at my failed stickman**
TLDW: "Your struggles aren't as bad as others, so it's invalid."
this is some boomer delusion right here
Young people telling older people they are “too optimistic about the future”. Hah hah. What a world. Thx for that!
So everyone must be miserable and only make dark and depressing art and always feel unsatisfied? Damn, no wonder people in my generation are so unbearably pathetic and pessimistic.
great video trent!
