Talent doesn't exist in art. It is all hard work. I am tired of hearing people blame their lack of skill on talent when they haven't done fundamentals

​@@RedOpticsdon't let yourself get upset over that misconception. Your not the only one bothered by that. It's just a way people express how they feel because they don't know how else to phrase it. Some don't actually realize how much work went into getting good enough to the point that people who think omg your so talented or gifted.

@@RedOptics that might be one of the biggest flaw in the beginner artist, they don’t learn fundamentals then they complain about it and give up early. Yes, some people can draw without learning fundamentals, but they are very few. Whenever somebody is having problem, I just advise them to learn the fundamentals first, but they don’t listen. to be good at drawing you need to practice every single day, draw various things not just humanoid characters because it increases our knowledge improve our withdrawing and we can keep on drawing every single day. When you draw the same thing over and over again, our brain just get tired and don’t want to do the task anymore and happened to me a lot of time.

@@RedOpticsand talent do exist in art not everyone can create amazing art. Yes everyone can draw but to create something amazing requires skill and talent.

I was just thinking that when I saw your comment

I don’t wanna say this but. It’s not the algorithm’s fault. It just noted that You’ve just been more into a particular type of stuffs. If you’re into anime and manga topics, you’ll see comments related to it at the top. So if you want more meaning stuffs, subscribe and like those who produce those contents ONLY, don’t use too much time on the video you don’t have interest in.

@@Drawperfectcircles yea but you gotta find people who make these content somehow, that's when the algorithm comes into play also, the algorithm is designed to keep you scrolling for as long as possible, which means its obviously gonna feed you meaningless dopamine-enducing content because that's what profits more, so it does have a fault, too.

@@Akathysia I think I should make a video on ‘how to actually find good content’. A lot of people don’t realize that the algorithm can be fed with insufficient or misleading information from the creators(a lot of times unknowingly). The algorithm even uses the thumbnail to classify videos. And you’re right, the algo is made to keep you scrolling, but You really won’t be scrolling if don’t find anything interesting. Why would anyone keep scrolling when there is nothing more interesting to see. Just leave for a while, take a break… and then look specifically for the info you desire(good underrated content will automatically start appearing in your feed when you reopen the app)

Got a source on that 10% figure?

you’re right, becoming engaged in flow puts you in the present, alleviating depression (being in the past) and anxiety (being in the future). i think that figure is a lot higher than 10%, i can’t imagine they surveyed enough artists to quantify it. some steps to get there are turning your phone’s Do Not Disturb on, turn off any distractions (except music), stay off social media and stop reading this and close youtube

YES!!!

Self doubt and creation are human

true but visual art is a bit different partially due to how "free" it is. many artists are self taught and or only get an official education later on in life and even then thats around 3 years which is hardly enough time to become a professional , artists have to have been learning way before and long after their art " education". with music or what particulary comes to mind is learning to play an instrument you have much more guidance , theres a way thats proven and used by many to learn for eg the piano while in art you are often just left to your own devices and have to figure out the "how to learn " process yourself. and then things like the grid method in art get popular and only encourage copying without understanding and pursuing this way of practice literally just wastes your time and you only learn to copy better without learning to create ( you will always be limited by your refrence) like theres so little info and guidance on the topic that traps like that exists in great numbers. anyways i do generally agree with your sentiment.

@@ceton1843 That's moreso about the disposition of the artist and not about the actual medium. Similar to music, there are a lot of proven methods and fundamentals to follow in visual art. I have no education in music whatsoever, and I've tried to make a song before. I felt so unbelievably lost because I didn't understand anything about notes or chords or... anything really? Compared to art though, I understand a lot more of the "rules" of art and I feel like I can create really great things because I can follow them. This is definitely not a bash against either medium, but I'm just saying that they are both the same when it comes to self-doubt and creation.

enjoy the little moments and it will be. You can strive for a goal but do work you enjoy, friend.

depends what “worth it” means. Do you value the entire journey or only what comes at the “end”?

@marselo1316 I guess I'm more worried about the journey. The end will take care of itself (edit: the end will be the result of the journey)

@@bloodyidit4506 cheers to that 🍻

if its what you truly want it most likely will. but don't measure your success based on others, do it for you.

It’s a difficult problem. I understand wanting to use certain ai tools to do the tasks that we don’t want to do, but there is a line where it detracts from the creativity.

@@KristianNeeTV IMO AI leapfrogs TOO much of the creative process. I think non-artists maybe don't understand that the outcome is the result of all of the turmoil, decisions, and accidents - we're not just hitting copy-paste from our brains to a piece of paper. When all of the decisions are made for you, and you're presented with the final image, it completely deflates the process, and might curb the chance of anything new arising.

@@KristianNeeTV I think that line is reached when you use it for anything beyond the most mundane aspects of your art. He actually said that AI outputs often form the basis of his art from where he builds up. It means many of his works will only ever carry the essence of the smallest common denominator of our society (because that's what AI is trained to do) and he doesn't see that as a problem. I've recently seen many other artists who also don't seem to care about that. I find that baffling.

@@sterlingmorris2701 Absolutely. And it would be one thing, if only non-artists failed to understand that. But when artists fall into the same trap, I get the feeling that something is seriously wrong with people.

This quote I heard decades ago is quite telling of the difference between ai generated images and art: My thumbprint on this 1000-year-old pot matches hers.

This is why you befriend honest _artists_ for criticism. This can trick you and your viewers into thinking a drawing is good. The artists will tear you a new one for not connecting a line behind an object lol

I can vouch for the composition part often than not composition is actually in everything you draw, not only in landscape art, it is used for every form of visual art and everything you draw is basically an overlap of foundational skills and composition skills, I notice that my drawings get messed up when I’m thinking of the drawing being separated into “sections” especially when I’m drawing anatomy from Imagination. But if I imagine the drawing as being one whole piece then my intuition takes over and I can just float the image in my head and it just flows suddenly my forms look right. And this is why I say composition is crucial to achieving flow, if anything were to take up the conscious front mind it should be abstract composition, for me I utilize the principle of design for everything I draw (control paint has a good video on this). Thinking about big to small, thinking bigly = composition, thinking small= details and forms.

Same

Same-

He mentions in the video you should have a reason for doing art; if that reason is just "for a career" then you will always feel this unsureness and that will hold you back. AI is inevitable but if that alone affects your reasoning for pursuing art then you might as well stop. Or.... Find a better reason, do it for yourself maybe. It's rewarding watching your skill develop and become a master even if no one else will. Good luck

2 good beers and a buzz does wonders 😂 Puts you into a "idgaf" mood and have had good outcomes from it

A beer at the end of the day every now and then! but dont make it a habit mate. Its written in the prophecy alcoholism will ruin you.

This is my take away

Alcohol is a slow killer

Yeah the pitfall is that it can become a crutch, like any other substance.

judging by the replies im getting i think i need to clarify this was a joke comment, i dont even drink lol. You dont need any substance to be creative :)
