@@livetochange974 I think you're confusing being proud of oneself with feeling superior to others. Because from what I've noticed, people who like themselves dwell less on hate

Dude thnx. I'm in the same boat. Now I'm drawing again, keep it up!!!!

I’m so sorry.

You're a strong man

*virtual hug*

You deserve to live life the way you want, to make mistakes, to choose your own path. It's your life, not theirs, it's your one and only life on this planet. Shame on your parents for trying to take that away from you.

I have a European mother who does all these things, know you are not alone and your pain is understood. I hope your life has gotten better, know your parents will need you later in life, and they will be forced to respect you then. Though, I may not know how your parents are so please do that at your own pace. I hope you have a wonderful day.

My parent too also did this when I was younger. They will told me not to draw because they're afraid that I will stuck at my own world.

I feel you. Just to let you know, you are good enough, and your work is great. Us asians must stick together!

I know this feeling.. my dad always underestimate me.

This is so accurate!

Human minds are too complicated for our own good.

That's their shadow talking to them 😃

People seem to want you to have self confidence but never display it- how else are they supposed to make you feel good if you dont need them to build you up. (At least thats my theory)

Thing thats helped me move forward is realizing how much people try to project their own shortcomings unto your road to your dreamjob or success. They’ll support you when you’re clearly not making any progress and actively tearing yourself down, but the second they realize that you have a shot at success and are getting closer to your dream job, it hits their ego and suddenly they start bashing you for being (finally) confidant

He's presenting the Mask he's talking about to create for yourself

Same! I have a KZfaq channel where I post my Drawing process, my parents tell my relatives that I have a KZfaq channel and one of my video has this much views and so on and then my parents say having a KZfaq channel is useless and it's not gonna help me get anywhere.

@@ArtBubble I guess they're trying to cover all of their bases by heaping praise on you but also giving you a dose of "realism" in case it fails? I mean cool motive but still kinda sorta sabotage? Really glad I never considered art quittable! I hope you do too!

Felt this on a spiritual level. My art used to be showcased and had my heart poured into it, but after my mentor died people said it'd be too competitive and not original. My art has regressed since I went on a three year hiatus because of feeling like I wasn't good enough as a person in general. Ethan Becker and Ergo Josh really inspired me to get back into it. 💙

@@mekidunston so glad you're back into it!

EXACTLY THIS. it made me very very confused on what to do as a child. they would praise it and i would have all the strength but 2 seconds later they would be tearing it down

And it's a tug of war in the mind constantly.

Damn, same. Feel my father underestimated me while my mother overestimated me. My mother brought me up whilst my father brought me down. Basically i dont feel that great, but i know im not bad. But i want to be great.

My parents always believed i have skills but never supported me or maybe they don't know or understand what i need because I've never asking for anything that might burden them 😂

I'm not into this deep shit i just wanna draw fox cheeks

I am white. I noticed the trend as well. Hopefully you succeed as a artist.👍🏻

As an half white and asian boi I’m super lucky to have parental figures that support my artistic endeavours. Hopefully you succeed as an artist and always know there are people who do support you.

same, they even try to destroy your interests and hobbies, only talk about grades, even got a place at a regional art contest and they told my school I was busy.

Follow your dreams brother, dont let anyone else tell you otherwise. Going to college will not result in a happy life if you dont major in something you love. Pursue art until the end brother, and stay strong even if the only one encouraging you is yourself 💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿

For the most part, parents just want to see their child succeed and when it comes to minorities or working class families making money comes from 9 to 5 jobs. I think most just want to see their child with what they deem to be a stable career.

Ah! That's some lovely advice! I have been doing that as well and have gotten some good results, but seeing it in words makes me reassured.

Generally helps if you’ve got a notepad and a clicky-pen, just to sell it. And take notes.

A clipboard, a tie, and sometimes a helmet can give you access to almost any site.

you should reach out..... its never too late to make an effort! and if they were true friends they would still be thrilled to see you

hey, you should try reaching them out, who knows, I'm sure they miss you

These types of parents make my blood boil..

I have the somewhat opposite problem honestly.

I mean.... being an animator is what your good life would be, right? I changed my career from business to animation when I was 27, just cause it really bothered me that I had not given it a try and felt like I was finally ready to make the switch. I was unable to get money for a proper school so I went a different route but was privileged to have some savings to afford to not work for a while and had very little to lose. Noone really understood why I was giving up a successful 7-year career but I know myself, I can't pursue three different career paths at once, I need focus. So I just calmed down and made an independent decision for myself that only I would be responsible for. If anything, you may arrive at the point where you're ready to independently pursue what you want - it may not be the standard path into the industry but you'll feel accomplished and that's the most important thing. It's so sad to equate animation with unsupportiveness of your parents - if anything, you could just focus on genuine things that you find interesting. For me it was learning animation principles and watching visual development courses. When you start to learn and get into exercises, making things move - the external nagging voices kinda get drowned out and even if you don't ever pursue animation, that knowledge is still valuable. Like shape language, effective silhouette - good design principles are universal. It's so strange when adults blame their children for the decisions they made - if it was selfless, they'd accept that what they really worked for was the complete freedom of choices you are now able to face. Instead most only work hard for a fixed future they envision with zero flexibility. Good luck with whatever you decide! Hope your genuine love and curiosity for animation survives this

Do 3D Animation.

Every person on the earth has a different spark/ambition. Whilst we're made from our parents, we are not them. You do you. If not now, when you're free of the constraints of your family. I always wanted to be involved with animation. I ended up in an entirely different career that involved a lot of study. But now, I have decided to dedicate a couple of years to skilling up on something I have always, always wanted.

Thank you for all the value y'all bring to us 🥺

@@p1ntu_ I try my best :D Though it probably requires more than just skills

if you get no love that does not mean you cant share love

I'm so sorry for you man, words can't explain how shattered i feel. I was always raised kind of like your sister. I was praised for my creativity, and my parents support anything i do. To hear someone else have their childhood be like that and grow into adulthood permanently, i feel very sorry. I wish you the best.

Yes! I was majoring in Economics and International Relations (because of my parents, of course), and I was doodling through all of my classes. My drawings became better and better through time, and once my groupmate came to my desk to see what I was drawing that time. She was always so excited to see what I draw. So she sees the result, and says: "Wow, that's amazing! I follow so many artists, but you are my favorite one." That was 7 years ago. Guess what: I'm an artist now and her words inspired me so much then, that they've been living in my head for all these years

"I know I'm not good enough but I'm still doing it" I LOVE THIS

To me, that is honestly so amazing that you had the opportunity to be told that in school. When I was in elementary school I failed art class (looking back I can't help but think that it was such a dumb thing because now I know that art is subjective) and the scolding I got from my parents shook me so much that I stopped trying to do art altogether. Over time however I've come to realise that I have creative impulses that I can't keep locked away forever, and I know for sure that art is something I want to do. It may be a little late for me now because I lost many years of learning to my fear of failure but I'm slowly starting to catch up. :')

@@mayonaissse I was blessed to have a teacher like that, must've been hard on you, its okay you can do it. Its easy it just needs some practice and just as you said creativity. You can definitely do it.

@@yamapishy9792 it quietly creep into my mind ... I always assume I did the worst or I messed up something but actually I'm not.

yeah. it sucks when that happens. but think of all the people here telling each other: we are ok and we are here for each other :)

Dude I feel so bad for my asain friend It always feels like im looking at them slowly being lowered into lava every day the end of the marking period gets closer

I am similar, I was fighting for my dream since I was a kid, my mom was very supportive but then my parent's divorce, I stayed with dad, he wasn't totally against me drawing, but he was only considering it as a hobby, he very often tells me, that to earn money sometimes you have to sacrifice your hobbies :( I thought I was doing fine, but somehow till now I couldn't get enough good, I can't make decisions, I am changing my plans sooo often. I got into this imposter syndrome. As a graphic designer my boss was praising me soo much I was feeling so weird. I am fighting with this now. I am learning to allow myself to make mistakes, and I am slowly seeing improvements and change in my brain :D I believe you can do it too. Slowly allow yourself to be imperfect, no one is. And remember you can't make everyone happy with your art. There always will be people saying bad things about you and your art but this fine. I also recommend checking some videos on youtube about fighting with perfectionism, they help a lot. For example, I really like the'' struthless'' channel. Also one more thing, our parent very often push their own fears to us. So in some way, they want good for us. They are trying to keep us in their comfort zone, in a hole of their own awareness, but world is far more behind this zone. It is just this is something not familiar for them and that is why they are afraid.

Sometimes Steve, humans just want more and it's natural, we are never satisfied with what we have ourselves. It's okay Steve :) i know u can do it Steve

ay I kinda feel the same. my parents are supportive and yet my head is still filled with doubts about how good I am

I learned it's not just parents that can affect you, I was bullied at a young age and it honestly I didn't stop getting picked on until as late as 7th even 8th grade now I'm trying to regain my confidence

I think it’s called imposter syndrome. You get complimented n stuff but after a while you start to wonder if it’s actually genuine. I’m not an expert but I think a lot of people go through it, I went through it anyway.

It’s all that support you got. Blame your parent

Definitely felt the same way

@@citrusgoldfish I definitely didnt

I agree!

It's mass media doing it and I guess Ethan works in that feild so lol, he probably hears this stuff constantly I never encounter talk of race in my daily life despite interacting with people of different races. Except when I took english class because academia is all about obsessing over race

Because in order to fix the issues relating to race, we have to talk about it. Nothing will get better if we don't acknowledge the problems in the first place. I'd rather be honest about race than ignore it in favor of "peace" that only benefits a select few.

@@Backflipgal12 Problem is I mostly don't hear americans talk about race issues in day to day conversations, as in, all I hear them say are things like "I am so white I did x" "I am not black enough" or similar stuff, that is not talking about race, that is just a strange fixation with skin color and the ability to do x, y, z.

​@@LaSangriaSolitaria In college I met a few really hurt people that I didn't know how to help that kept limiting themselves because of skin color. One girl thought she didn't pass portfolio review because they were racist against her for being black. It was actually because she had a terrible grasp of perspective and composition, which has everything to do with skill, and skill has nothing to do with race.

@@LaSangriaSolitaria you are correct. america's attempting to lead the world and police everyone else in regards to sex/gender/race/etc. but the most critical and hypocritically vindictive amongst them, ie. the whole crowd on twitter, don't actually have the knowledge and intelligence (and especially being unaware of the word context) to discuss these topics and actually reason, talk, interpret, and exchange with others - it is just a shitflinging contest that has been deconstructed into a straight "bad word!" dystopia where the goal is to instead just block and censor and refuse the existence or acknowledge something and learn/grow from it. Like how artists and related creators struggle to create movies that depict history, or discussing history in general which inevitably has "bad" parts to it - these people focus on "oh my god this movie was about x-regime and everyone was suffering and it's really bad! cancel it" and can't make the connection that it is a lesson, a piece of media created with a critical lens in order to promote discourse and reflection on the topics it covers. ultrawoke internet sphere doesn't actually go anywhere or do anything, just regurgitate a narrative and censor anyone that doesn't follow it, and will hypocritically be as x-ist or x-ism as they preach against... just in other ways. And all that does is create more division and an even greater barrier between people and turn people who would otherwise be 'with you' against you.

I'm 22 Asian and still wanting to study art, i quit Computer Science -- parent's choice, and even i have no time to selfstudy painting I'll go study writing instead and won't stop perseuing my aspirations.

we have to learn to live for our owns, parents push their fears on us, and it is very hard to break free from this :( but we can do it. Just read, listen, work on yourself, you can do everything you want.

Parents have biased opinions

I have sort of the opposite problem. Where I know I want to pursue, but the horror stories of people make me thinking I'll just get a more stable career that I have no interest in because it pays well. My parents push me to go after what I love to do, but there's just so many uncertainties I don't even know where to go.

@@keeysOST this is your brain dooing, is easier to go for things we know better, and is also fine to have an confortable life. You have to ask yourself what you want. You can choose Comfort or to go for your Dreams, there always will be a risk but you can't achive anything without it. Is natural that you are scared but remember even if you will do some mistakes it deosn't mean you can't change your decision later. This is not like a dead end.

My mom told me the exact same about my passion for drawing, so in the end I went to study something I don't like that much and I don't know where to go in my life anymore...
