Underrated, RUclips had no right hiding this. Been feeling down about my Art lately constantly redrawing and not finishing stuff, This really is inspiring. Even though your a small creator, I’m glad I got to see this and support you. Your amazing at inspiring others.
Thank you very much! I’m glad it helped even a bit and don’t worry I go through the same process too but looking at your work with a more positive mentality helps especially when you know these things are just apart of the process. Keep creating I believe in you❤️🙏🏽
Redrawing is a really important part of progress. The main person you should be comparing yourself with is your past self.
Thank goodness I suck, I can only go up from here
"When people cannot draw and can be considered an artist, what's there to say about you" is the sentence ive been searching for this whole time. Ive been blinded by the "likes = better" mentality that ive lost myself in my drawings. Thanks jamaican man
you are welcome! glad was able to help in some way XD
What a coincidence that this video popped up to my recommendations, when I was feeling down on how stiff my next animatic looked just yesterday. I'm feeling okay now, but yesterday I was feeling extremely sensitive about my own art, because I wanted to be deemed as the greatest of them all, only to bring myself down later on. I wanted to prove myself to others that I am capable of being worth of something, when in reality all I ever wanted was to be acknowledged, praised, and loved, and possibly make friends out of art, only for it to backfire somehow... I eventually gave up the idea of making friends with my art, and just started to just draw for myself now, and I wish I did when I was much, much younger earlier on, I guess it's better late than never to do stuff for yourself, because sometimes you do need to treat yourself better by creating something for yourself.
Awesome! Glad your Doing better!
God did ❤ keep doing your thing homie
As a growing artist I'm always looking to expand and refine my skills. I also love looking out and supporting smaller artist. Keep up the good work dude ❤
Thank you🙏🏽 and keep
Growing❤️
This video poped up in my recommendations like a sing from below. Thanks, dude. I feel myself like I've just talked to a good friend of mine, you are incredibly comfortable.
One thing that I definitely struggle with as an artist is comparing myself to others a lot. Whether it's while looking for references online for my own art, or just coming across it online, I always look at other more talented artists, and say to myself, "Man, I wish I was like them..." While I do recognize that I'm slowly growing as an artist, I still find myself being constantly insecure about my art, sometimes just not posting it at all if I don't like it, or if I don't think it's good enough to post online. I definitely do the "Oh, it didn't get enough traction online, so I'll repost it", but instead of reposting it, I'll just sit there and feel insecure about it for the next week.
This video honestly helped with this, and having just finished watching at the time of typing this, I feel like I'm more confident that I'll be able to respond to not getting likes or comments better now. The fact that this only has about 300 views right now feels criminal, and this video, as well as your channel as a whole is extremely underrated!
I struggle a lot with comparing myself to others and referencing and that in itself will be what I would like to talk about next and I’m super happy in some way this video made you feel better about what your experiencing❤️‼️
Currently I’m in an art hiatus just so I can get in a better mindset overall, and one of the upcoming steps is to draw faster. I want to become those kinds of artists who can make something of great quality within a few hours and right now, I’m still working on how I could achieve that
Ahh I completely understand what your going for and i honestly believe you can achieve it! just understand the amount of work you will have to put in to make great quality work quickly wont be an easy one! but i believe in you all the same! :3
@@markiicreative Thank you very much! Keep being an inspiration to others. You are doing a great job yourself, and we are proud of you too!
Social media only defines how lucky you are Not how successful
^
thank you. ever since i started getting good at art, i've been experiencing low self-esteem
Sometimes we don't appreciate how long we've been in the art grind, all too often we bog ourselves down cuz when we look at these art gods in social media they make it look so easy. But also we haven't seen their own struggles to get to where they are. I'm at this point where I've gotten good with art but my mental with how I perceive it is terrible. It has nothing to do with our art at all, maybe it's about time we step back and work on ourselves, our health specifically. If we fix ourselves physically, we also fix ourselves mentally. Ya'll are important everybody. Great video.
yeah, I think it's still wise to plan a schedule to grow your followers, and generally after you post it, just leave it, don't think about it, maybe linger on it for a day or two, but what we must do is just to focus on what to work on next.
Yh just stick to your plan and change it if needed for better results but if it’s at the cost of your art , mental or just your overall creativity then maybe you shouldn’t pressure it as much because art isn’t your typical “grind” it works better when your healthy and well 🙏🏽❤️
I spent like 2 years drawing everyday and I ended up quitting because I thought it wasn't good enough. Fast forward to a year later and I'm going through my google photos and I see my art (full blown portraits, sketches with life and motion, cute characters) and I was like.... wow, why did I stop? So I have been privately redrawing/painting the ones I like and its been therapy. Its similar to how I take pictures and think I look gross but then look back a month later and I see myself and think "wow I was so pretty in this picture, what the heck." This has taught me to do my art in steps, then walk away from it. If I sit there and try to make everything perfect, but I can tell something is off - I give up. Now I'm just like, lets stop here go workout, eat and come back later to fix the little details. A lot of the times the stuff I see, other people don't even see it as a problem. I've had people ask to buy my stuff and I always so no because I wouldn't feel right taking money for something that's not "done". I have learned that people will find value in different forms of art, so I have to be open to those opportunities . For example there is an artist I follow on insta who literally draws stick figures, and I personally think it looks like chicken scratch, but everyone loves his art. The little animations are funny, and the stick figures feel alive and relatable. So I get it now. I suck at "line art" and it stresses me out, but then I found other artists who literally paint over there sketch or incorporate the sketch into the finished piece instead line art - and its beautifully messy. Stuff like that has taught me to be myself and enjoy the process, Find ways to be creative that fit your personality.
I also want to mention that if you are good at imitating art styles, I would say keep doing it. You could work at any studio and help them finish projects. I just don't think its right to constantly copy someone's art and say its your own unless you are doing commissions for fan art in which case you would need to make whatever your client is asking for in that specific style. I really wish I could remember her name, But there is a chick that makes bank creating custom profile pics for gamers on Discord, based off of the game characters. Everyone told her "you have to draw more than the face. you can't make money just making portraits, you'll never be a real artist if that's all you do" and she proved everyone wrong lol.
One thing that may be helpful for you who keep comparing your drawings to other artists.
If you want to compare your art to see the progress that you made, there’s one artist that can instantly make you understand how is your progress in your art and the differences…yourself.
Compare your own art, take arts that you did in the past or some that you did in some weeks or months ago and compare to the others you did now, this will help you see how much you evolved and can also make you see things you didn’t saw that moment. If you compare yourself to others this won’t make you feel that motivated anymore, instead of looking at the other artists and judge yourself, try to learn from them of how they did that thing.
And always remember: Art. Is. Art. There’s no wrong or right drawings, remember that a banana on the wall with a tape is considered art for some people.
As someone who really wants to become a full time artist, but it sometimes feels like the clock is running out, sometimes I forget to take a step back and appreciate the progress I've made since day one. It may not always feel like I'm progressing nearly as fast as I want to, or I may not know the next step to take. But even where I'm at now, just a few years ago, I would have felt was impossible back then.
All in all, I'm excited to see where I can take my art in just another few years. This was a great video, keep up the good work.
Let’s Goo! Rooting for you ‼️💪🏽🙏🏽
Having confidence is probably my biggest issue when it comes to art cause I get too hung up on "oh, that doesn't look right" or " that's not how that works". When looking at a lot of comic art and how they render shadows it's borderline ridiculous and shadows don't work the way they ink it. BUT it looks cool regardless, even if it is wrong, they still make good art.
Thank you, I needed this after being so down about my art , Thank you
Same, glad it could help
My phone is 100% listening to me, when I'm complaining at all the mistakes in my recent work, and it almost feels like its using RUclips or Instagram's algoritham to go: "Hey. Stop. You're better than you make yourself out to be. Here's a video to make feel better."
Thanks for the message man. Great Sakuna, btw, that perspective with the fingers pointed directly at the camera, and it came out really good.
i didnt know i needed to hear that till now and its made me feel so much better about my art, thanks so much
You are welcome 🙏🏽 thanks for watching glad I could help in some way
Really needed to hear that, especially about how social media doesn't really define how good we are! Keep going strong!
My biggest struggle sometimes is ambition gets ahead of me. I dream of being a professional level artist. I want to spend my life entertaining people with good stories and good art. And its been tough because im not a natural at art. My hand eye coordination is worse than your average person and i sometimes feel really stupid. Ive given up a few times but i keep coming back because theres part of me that refuses to let the stories i imagine die without coming to being.
This video couldn't have come out at a better time. Felt really frustrated that my art isnt reaching out to people and it made me feel that I am not good enough.
And it's my dream to make comic books/manga one day. And I just want to show people what I can and inspire them just like the big artist that I look up to that inspired me. Thank you for making this W video, really well done.
II somewhat disagree. I would advice beginners to copy a lot of different artists and styles. Style is just a mixture of all the art you've consumed. You take elements that you like from different artists. It also helps you explore different techniques and methods and find what works for you. I am not saying don't learn form nature/real life, but I don't think copying other artist in an early stage is bad. I still do master studies of artists that I think are really good. Just don't post it online or claim to be your own. But you can actually learn so much from it.
Yeah you are correct about learning from others through referencing but you still have to be careful about how you do it or else you will end up losing your identity or never having one at all I myself personally have been through this phase where I don’t know whether I like the art I make simply because all I always use to do is reference other artist styles and never tried to do things on my own.
I am very hard on myself when it comes to my art. The longer I draw, the more I get so frustrated to the point I cry, crumple up my art and throw it away or delete it. I want the best and I try using references or whatever comes to mind, but something stills feels off. I want to post my work, but when I see my work I feel shame, and then I'm harder on myself. Furthermore, I've even been bullied over my art saying how terrible it is, which has me deeper in my negativity circle I want to be an animator and a graphic novelist both illustrations and writer because I'm chocked full of ideas but not matter how hard I try to focus life seem to be enjoying the fact I get knocked around.
Thank you, kind stranger, I needed this today.
Please keep uploading this way. The footage helped me so much, and with you talking? It makes this channel an absolute gem.
Oh thank you so much I’m glad I was able to help‼️🙏🏽
@@markiicreative No Prob!!!
UNDERATEID Bro I have been having for most negative Recommendations and I see this Gleaming piece Of positivity
Love how this dude starts on not letting likes or attention define your value, and then ends by saying that people without technical knowhow but still get a lot of attention are great artists
:D i love channels with lil subscribers/views count- because they make you feel like home-
the "sorry about the noise my mum's talking" and the "i tried to keep it short but I'm 14 minutes in! XD" is something me and my friends say to eachother
to some stuff i didn't respectfully agree but
:D lots of support and i wish that good ppl find you- idk why ppl haven't watched this video much but it's fine, you're still dope
peace be upon you
man.. imma come back to this video tomorrow because i’m seeing it as i’m about to sleep 🙏🙏
As an artist that just started to post my first drawings on social media, and have been in struggle with perfectionism and not feeling motivated lately with my art, this video just opened my mind. Underrated channel.
I needed this.. is like I found this video at the perfect time
I don't know how to say what I want to say, but really, thank you bro
Just met ya but know that it is a good stuff please keep up the good work 😄
Thank you very much!
I really needed to hear this today! Thanks for the great video
thank you, i needed this ❤
Thanks man I needed to hear this great video
as someone whose trying to muster up any courage to make their own videos in a state of analysis paralysis and this seemingly popped up, thank you for decluttering my doubts :)
Thank you for the motivation bro
You bet!
Such a great video!! One of my fav things in this world are unique and personal artstyles
I am gonna watch this ever time that self doubt starts creeping up on me. Amazing video, thank you
Same! and thanks for watching
this showed up in my reccomendations, this video is awesome. sometimes i struggle with crazy doubt about my art, but this kinda restored my confidence, thank you
Markiiii in my recommended⁉️
😭damn how did I end up there 😂😂🙏🏽
thanks man really helped
This is so sweet. Thank you for the reminder ❤❤
Agree on social media point: algorithm is fickle. 30h paintings performed worse than some random reaction post I made about a game I play. Sometimes, a quick one does better than a full render. It is just that. I think one needs to think why they post in the first place: to share with community and draw for fun or trying to get as many followers as possible to make money at some point.
If it is the first: do exactly that, draw for fun, not likes.
If it is the second then one needs to understand: it is a job and should be treated by one. Do the trends, interract with community, improve your skills and use them as a tool. It might drain fun from drawing but that is reality of having a job in any area. However, it also elevates that insecurity about own skills because it becomes less personal.
Comparison can be destructive indeed. Look at art to learn, not to ruin yourself. Remember why you draw: is it passion for the character? Drawing process? We all learn at our pace - everyone started with stick figures. Fans of art (especially fanart) are like in cake meme: they don't think "Oh, I pick the cake made by professional because one by amateur wasn't that well made". Instead they think "Oh hell yeah! 2 cakes!"
I think regarding copy: imitation is fine. Master studies exist for a reason. Take the best from your favorite artists and make it own.
needed this, thanks ⭐
i love these videos man keep it up
Thank you!🙏🏽
I used to be a crazy good artist back in high school, but my art teacher left me feeling utterly demoralized by the end of my second year of high school (she hated animation art styles, which was what i was best at. I tried realism, but failed everytime).
My ROTC instructors were the exact opposite, they were impressed by the time and effort I put into what I drew. First time they noticed was after I finished an exam and decided to work on a sketch I was working on (Millennium soldier from Hellsing Ultimate, no offensive imagery was seen since it was a close up of their face. It was from the scene before one of them bit off the face of a mercenary after getting into the manor). I viewed those soldiers as the ultimate test of my skill since they were insanely hard to sketch, prior attenpts up until that one ended in failures. Then I drew an image with three of them standing together among the smoke of the battlefield (each one held a firearm; the Panzerfaust, the Kar-98k, and the MP40). It was a successful sketch.
I've been playing Limbus Company recently and now I'm considering sketching my own sprites based off that style since I like the appeal of the sprites and giving them their own unique uniforms and designs. Inspiration strikes in the strangest ways
Go for it‼️ inspiration is rare especially in your case and when you mentioned your art teacher kinda killed your passion for art back in highschool I can relate and I’m sure plenty of others can aswell especially when it comes to the long unnecessary hours we had to put in to meet deadlines 💀💀😂 really made me hate drawing
Nice video! This reminds me one of my fav quotes (from a twt tho) 😂 about art that I print as stickers on the cover of my sketchbook and it says something like this, "you consume so much art online that your tastes outmatch your own skills and it skews your perception of your own art"
I feel drawing is loving the _process_ instead of focusing too much on the results. _Perfection is like chasing the horizon._ Sometimes I come back to my old drawings as a kid and thought to myself "wow these are weird, but if I stop here back then ... will it bring me to the point I am now?"
Once again, thank you for making this video and good luck on your art journey!!!
That quote is so true‼️ I think I heard in a video the other day I don’t remember whose though but it really put things in perspective for myself as well cause my skills are far behind my own personal taste 😭😂 and thanks for the kind words and wish you all the best on your journey aswell‼️🙏🏽
awesome video. social media is a positive, and negative for artists. sometimes i find myself comparing myself to other artists in the same sphere and wonder why i dont have as much likes or follows etc. but then i gotta remind myself going after numbers isnt worth my time, just need to keep drawing what i like
Exactly 🫡
I used to post art with the hope that one day I would get popular as an artist. I almost never get more then 30 likes per post and started to diminish my skill because of it. However, regardless of how many people actually like the things I make, I still like making them. I stared to post again for those 30 people that like what I make, and especially for myself and for my future self that one day will look fondly at what I managed to create. Letting go of the value I placed on likes has made me feel a lot better about the act of creating and sharing art.
Those 30 people and I appreciate you🙏🏽 keep up the good work🙏🏽❤️
Thank you very much for the video, I really needed to listen to it.
Something strange that happens to me is that I compare myself a lot with other artists who have a striking style or with a lot of detail (and I don't feel envy, in fact I admire them a lot) but I can't help but feel bad for preferring a simpler style, as if that It would mean that I have no skills and that no one would like it. 😓😓
Don’t feel bad because your style is simpler in a lot of cases simple is more n you like what you like so don’t worry about all the noise or what other people are doing just focus on yourself and have fun 🙏🏽❤️
@@markiicreative thank you so much, That's what I'll do ☺️
Thanks for the video. I'm trying to have fun with my art again after working on it for so long and receiving so much critique on it. This video reminds me what really matters. Art is truly subjective, so I have to stay true to myself.
absolutely loved this video and will def save it for a rainy day when art school starts up again.
thank you for creating and sharing your voice man☺
Im glad I could help 😭🙏🏽
As a very young artist, this was so heartwarming to watch and listen. Thank you for making this video, it gave me encouragement to continue my art journey. I can't wait to see you grow; you'll get there bro!🤍.
Thank you very much and i appreciate your support!🙏🏽❤️
You’ll go crazy if u focus on numbers. The trick is to do it cuz u love it even if u feel like it’s not gonna blow up yet the real will prosper 💯
Exactly👍🏾
I’m def not a bad artist. But I don’t think I’m as a good as I would like to be.
I think part of it is because I don’t have enough time in the day to finish a drawing. And often times my stuff ends up messy and unfinished. It also doesn’t help that I’m not super good at human anatomy.
He went to under 100 Subscribers and went to 200+ subscribers!

Thank you very much‼️
Actually i find my skill rapidly deteriorating as i struggle to figure out how to learn any of the things I've been told to learn to improve my art
This helps a lot thnx
Subbed instantly 😁😁
Sukuna? I click
first vid of yours i have seen ,earned a sub ,you made my day
😭 appreciate you🙏🏽
I actually gave up on posting my social media for years but i might actually start again. My main reason for quitting to post was that my pieces take literal WEEKS to finish and then a weeks worth of me drawing ended up with 14 likes.
It sounds stupid and superficial but that is what social media is for, no? Getting feedback, comments, people who appreciate your art.
I feel your pain (I get no likes on Twitter either) and it’s unfortunate when it happens but you have to remember the reason why you create to keep yourself motivated and yes you are correct social medias main design was to be “social “ but that time has long pass I fear 😭😭😂 just use it to share your work n build up your little community of like minded individuals 🙏🏽❤️ trust me there is a community for everyone it just takes time to find yours sometimes 🙏🏽🙏🏽
Thanks I really needed this Video ❤ by the way I drew my profile picture my first time drawing digital i've been feeling sad lately but it god hearing something like that❤
I do not feel bad about my art, but this is a damn great message~
Im your fan now 🌷 Keep the good vids
Appreciate you‼️
100th comment let's goo and also this guy is underated can't wait for him to blow up
Thank you so much🙏🏽😭
I'm so thankful the recommendations showed me this. It was so affirming to me because I haven't felt like any of art felt good in a while. Really brought me back to my senses.
i just picked up art again after 2 months (i started my art journey on april then took a break for exams etc) and im just wondering how i put this shi down cuz its so damn nice to just draw for FUN like ive never felt so inspired in my life
Yeah art is very addictive 😭 I can’t stop drawing even when I don’t want to😂
@@markiicreative istg i get a random idea and i cant get rid of this bich till i draw it in full 😭😭
Im gonna support you bro, new subscriber🔥
Thanks man! Appreciate you😭‼️
Thank you, I'm relieved hearing to that. I actually kinda got stuck not getting likes on X recently. I usually upload game character fanarts but I also draw NSFW stuff on my second account. It's been difficult to handle 2 accounts at the same time so I decided to focus on NSFW account. Some of the pictures that had 5000 likes on my main account becomes like 5 likes if I post on the second account. It is driving me crazy nobody seeing my drawings now.
However, I think I should not care that now.
I have a project of drawing my original manga sequel, and I hope it goes well as it did on my first one. I'd like to focus on it for now.
Social media is very funny when it comes to different genres I have had similar experiences in the nsfw space vs my sfw space and I really couldn’t afford the mental exhaustion 😂 so I stopped giving it power over me but I do understand if you are hoping to grow a in hopes of making a living from it and at that point you just have to do what you have to do regardless of likes 🙏🏽😭 people just like what they like I’m afraid.
@@markiicreative Thank you for the reply.
I use social media to advertise myself, and I know it affects to the sales of my manga a bit. But it is not easy to work on both drawing manga and draw some illustrations that would buzz on there at the same time. Manga is mostly monochrome and it doesn't appeal to the users so well.
However, I think I should do what I really want to do. And also I need to think about that probably I'm better artist than I think like you said.
The system is designed to discourage? Idk but you are your own artist
I wanna get into art...just I got no fucking idea where to start from-
Thanks for this , I’m thankful for this reminder . Instant sub!
One question what brush is this on clip studio ?
Thanks man , can’t wait for next video .
ahh your welcome and as for the brushes Ill have them link in the next video but one is my own personal pen the other is a Japanese pen i got from clip studio assets called
A string mapping pen (ひもだ丸ペン) that's the exact name i just copied and pasted for you :3
Nah, I'd win.
But on a serious note, especially things you said in the first part of the video, I know of them. As in, on intellectual level. But my heart refuses it and it is most likely due to lack of self compassion. It is still long way ahead of me, but if there's something I am good at related to art, it is that I haven't given up yet. I'm kinda stubborn bastard.
Thank you for this video. Because you're not huge youtuber with milion of subscribers, I think your words are meaning more.
I'm going to check more of your videos and likely you might earn yourself a new subscriber.
I also don't enjoy drawing anatomy cause it caused my depression to get worse and made me experience a year of pure hell that ruined drawing for me still to this day so i draw other things that Don't require anatomy skills and as a aspiring tattoo artist I'm never gonna draw people or anything that requires anatomy
I don't post any of my art
I draw tattoo ideas and actually drew the tattoo im getting in nov when i turn 18 so most of my art is tattoo based and are stuff I'm going to get so every art piece is a personal piece
I have an issue, at 11:39 the topic was rules. I started traditional and I still do it but I also do digital, so I honestly i find it cheating to use mirror tool, circle tool, leaf brushes, etc, and I’m having a hard time because I think I’m not allowed to use them and can’t get myself out of that feeling. (I also just can’t draw good circles- 😅)
I feel the same way too sometimes, but I see it more as a blessing than cheating, we get to create more with the help of technology 💕

how u gonna make fun of the webtoon style when u making anime art 😂
Hey man anime and webtoon similar but they have their differences 😂 and also im not making fun of the style im just talking about how frequently copied it is but newer artist and yes I admit anime it’s the same thing but at the very least I try to put a little bit of “me” in the art 😂😂
