Why do I love his voice so much. 🥰 What a talented man, pretty Boss too 😎

I tell other artist friends Alll the time to hit the streets if you want money, it's only going to happen if you MAKE it happen, I'm a plein Air painter that sells 6x6 wood panel studies for $60 at tourist locations in Maine, im very lucky to do it full-time. But this would never happen if I waited for opportunities to come to me, hit the streets ✌

Nice from Pakistan 🇵🇰

Best artist 🎨

@@Adamkezer I'm gonna get after it! It's GENIUS going to a landmark and just painting it! Wow I'm glad you shared your experience. I've finally made my jump into oil painting and I knew there was something there.

it's probably 1k on a good day, but sure, get yourself out there. Lots of artists are introverted and shy and get into art because they want to retreat from society. You got to put yourself out there. I'm not even a professional, but when I start drawing in public, quite a few curious onlookers like to approach and chat.

Next time, tell them, “bend over and I’ll show ya!” 🤣 Maybe try and put your art into a different canvas. Maybe, onto something that someone uses everyday. T-shirts, tote-bags, cell phone covers, placemats, etc… Offer your prints as well, different sizes, to bundles of postcard size prints. but, offer other custom items. 🤷🏽 hope this helps!

Ahh trying to sell art in a rural area is basically this. Zero comprehension on art if it doesnt directly have a "use" or function.

@@Adamkezer then turn around and spend 100 on a piece of jagged plywood with a snowman painted on it 🫠at least they are making $

@@tthomas184 I’m waiting for AI to take over so my original work can go for $$ 😂😂

@@tthomas184 wow, who is that? I want to read about them too

*crowds of people!

Why are you feeling defeated over AI art?! 😂it’s not even the same as a real artist’s artwork so it’s not even comparable and doesn’t carry the same value. Sure, it may be “perfect” but it’s just not the same. It doesn’t have any feeling and emotion behind the process of making it which is why many people make art in the first place. It’s all new, but with all new things, the novelty of it will wear off as well as not being allowing to be accepted in galleries where real artists are to make money off of them. And why would anyone want to pay big money for it if they can just ‘make’ the same art for themselves without needing talent or skill beyond that of knowing how to have a computer system doing it for you?! AI art isn’t even comparable. So don’t lose hope and hone in on your skills and just do what you want as an artist!

@@Lacroix999 it’s because of how much it is and has been in discussion this past year and its developments, as well as other artists online and my own college teachers constantly putting it into discussion. Believe me I am in agreement with you in that I will continue making art for my own sake and will try to make a career out of it regardless. Though in terms of certain positions, college, and discourse around it its sometimes difficult to get away from it or always feel positive. Videos like this are those good reminders to keep going despite it all. But yeah it is weird how teachers are talking about its usage as well as other recruiters for job offers. When in other art forums its about its stealing and usage of people’s art without payment or recognition. Simply I don’t like AI and don’t wanna use it, but its face is everywhere as of right now and its hard to get away from it. Also with art made its becoming more and more difficult to sparse what’s real and what isn’t unless if made physically.

Start drawing from life

You should see progress within 8 hours if you are following a structured program like Loomis, Watts, and NMA.

@@rockon8174 True, though Loomis is known for beginners getting stuck and giving up. I did 3 times. I only returned to Loomis years later after studying Proko's figure and anatomy courses amongst other things. Doing something like Bridgeman anatomy can show improvement after say 8 hours of studying, but when you're in this deep you have to do your own studies too. Breaking down references and other artists work alike to study design, and studying from life. I don't get to study from life often because of health issues, but either way, when you're in this deep, 8 hours is nothing. Unfortunately, the more advanced you get, the more time it takes for even the smallest incremental improvement. We're talking weeks, months, years

Yea I follow Jess and I think this is him Edit: I went back to that video it is him❤

@@Bkt27 I knew I recognized him from somewhere. Teamwork yeah!! 👊

I was thinking the same thing and i came to slews channel from Jess and Ten hundred. They are all connected somehow and i just want to be in this group soo bad. 😂😢

Totally agree, I love seeing real people on KZfaq.

🎉🎉 please never loose that spark! I promessa you wiill

@@elpicador2009 thank you!!! I appreciate your words ❤️

Sad, to regret time in the gym.

@@te9591 true but I would rather have been more efficient with my time over the years and have developed my art skills to a professionally proficient level. The gym really did take up a lot of time and here I am, still not doing art professionally.

@michaeljmccurdy9449 yeah, the art pursuit is not one foot in unfortunately

I feel you. My body is 50 years young, with a wife and 2 kids, and always worked art related jobs but never was full-time in my own art since it took time to make and had to pay the bills with other gigs & 9-5 (which I’m trying my best not to go back to). For me personally if I ever let go of my dreams, I’d die. So I’m just restarting again.. I’m taking my artwork seriously no matter what. Even while having other work. And sketching is at the foundation. I share this to encourage you to hold onto your dreams and take steps towards it even if it’s baby steps..

Yeah, the drawing of that first girl sitting crossed legged looked nothing like her, and all the other drawings were pretty average even if he is a quick sketcher. Credit to him for making the most of an at best mid level talent.

Marketing. That's what it comes down to. He has an Instagram account and does a lot of collaboration work with stores and brands. That puts him above a lot of other very talented artists.

but now the math doesn't add up though. 1k a day doing $25 drawings .... maybe he can get those 40 people for 6 hours straight in summer but I doubt he can do that in winter

@@oliveuk I think he said he goes somewhere warm in the winter.

@MegaCityPatrol How much do you make a day pal?

I appreciate that!

And he is working hard not just taking it easy. He is busting his ass.

Don’t get me wrong as I’m TOTALLY stoked for him and want to find this success myself. ❤❤❤❤❤

He's successful because he's tapped into two of people's biggest tendencies - that they are cheap and that they are all about themselves. I wouldnt give up on your art, yes it takes longer, but if someone has an emotional connection to it they will compensate you fairly.
