Drawing cubes and elipces is the most boring thing i have ever drawn. But its good for building an understanding of the way we see things. I am not very good at it tho 😅

i hear you. But if you have a goal that your trying to achive in art like "learn to draw aswell as tite kubo or yusuke murata ((both amazing mangaka artists)) you will have your work cutout for you and then when you look at your stuff the journey will be a 1000 times more painful because you might not EVER reach that high.

That Generals Carbon Sketch pencil is great quality materials with a black opacity that is fulfilling to one’s work. But, I find the core to be brittle when sharpening… . The core of this pencil needs to be modified to be more sturdy. Thanks Love Life!🧑🎨♾️✍️

12:55 this part resonated with me a lot. I procrastinate so much to the point that starting feels like trying to push off a huge weight that's been dropped on me. I built up such a specific and impossible idea of how I want my art to look that I'm just bound to feel unsatisfied with anything I do. But you need to just do it and tune out the critic in your mind.

Dear Kenzo ! while seeing your video, trying to understand ( my mother tongue is french...) your advices or commentary about drawing&painting, suddenly the idea to sketch you both appears in my mind. And what did I see first on the image on the right of my screen? All those little pink hearts painted on the long wall behind the bench on which you are sitted. Isn't it these feeling you are speaking about : a peacefull feeling provided by the simple connection to Heart & Love surrounding us in fact, but without the constant possibility for our mind to feel it? Aren't we all looking for these Presence of Love with a big L ? Nowadays it is exactly my purpose and questionning when thinking, beginning, doing and achieving my art's projects. In other words, do am I patient enough to do what I can do today without avoiding opening my eyes on those "little" opportunities of bright love my spirit's unique eye is so thirsty of? Thank you so much for these image, it is a GIFT, I will carefully place it as front page of my computer. It will be more than a simple remainder of 2 kind and smiling gentlemen, sketching 3 boats on a shinny river by a shinny weather, sitting on a bench, speaking with intelligence of art and human being difficulties, with hundred and hundred pink hearts behind them without perhaps (?) seeing, or feeling them completely, just because they are (the hearts...) so many ...Marianne from Nice, South of France

Super interesting! I love the "train the puppy" analogy, have to remember that. To me, learning to tune into what's going on inside my brain, dealing with emotions, frustrations, motivation or lack thereof, feels roughly as important as the technical aspects of drawing. Maybe even more important, a prerequisite. And it's so paradoxical at times. When, say, I have high expectations when I'm starting to sketch, I need to realize that, and then completely let go of those expectations to actually meet them. If that makes sense :)

Yeah there’s a lot of these paradoxes. In mental health, you have to accept feeling anxious and not try to stop feeling anxious in order to overcome anxiety problems for example

i'm 26 and have been drawing for most of my life, but I still can barely finish a single drawing because of anxiety and ADHD. i'm probably too old at this point to get good enougb at art to make a career of it, but i still want to try to improve. i'm always going to regret my past failures to learn and grow through anxiety, and i don't think i will ever be able to stop hating myself for it, but i'll keep going. maybe someday i'll get somewhere. i don't know. i'm feeling very hopeless about it all and regret is eating me alive

Hey that sounds really hard! It mostly sounds like stuff you're doing to yourself, and I'm sure you could find ways to not do that stuff. Perhaps you could try Mark's book? 26 isn't too late to become super good and even create a career. I started in my mid-30s!

Life isn't a race, be nicer to yourself! I felt a lot of pressure in my 20s too and thought I was wasting them, but I can only look back as having needed those experiences to become who I am today. Don't look at the past or future, just focus on living in the here and now. Thoughts are with you bud, be strong for yourself!
@tessarivas613618 күн бұрын
Thank you for sharing Kenzo some of your story. The more detailed a picture , the more interesting it can be. Interesting to hear the chat with Mark. Waiting for the right feelings in order to do art is a BIG point. Just do it ! Oh yes….so simple…..so simple…(without all the over analysis …waiting for ….the right energy…the right mindset…the right clarity of thought….the right preparation of art materials…the right sharpened pencil ….the right time of day…..the right light……….the right mood…..) How to get yourself to do stuff?? Turn off the Brain and just Be with the pencil….let the pencil do its thing and turn off the emotions and reactions to what we are drawing…..we all struggle with the same stuff…..it’s comforting to know this. I know that I have improved my attitude to drawing by training myself to not care….and though i still procrastinate daily i am better than before because of this . babbling here….but hey…i don’t care…i know someone will relate out there…maybe only the puppies….or the walruses or aliens….but that’s ok with me.😂
@lovelifedrawing17 күн бұрын
hey Tessa! Yes it's been a struggle for me big time. I can't say what should work for anyone else, but for me it was big to learn to separate a bit from all the thoughts and feelings, and see the brain's products as only occasionally useful. So then i can base my actual actions on what i value (family, art, health etc). And then my brain desperately tries to get back the control! Mark's book was useful, and also another called the Happiness Trap.

Really really one of my favourite videos you've made Kenzo. The frank and open way that you discussed your experiences was really poignant, and I think that your works speaks for itself as testament to how you have overcome things. Also want to echo what someone else commented - giving your attention to the here and now and not the end result is the best approach to all of life, not jusy drawing. Living that takes practice and rewiring of the brain too though! Cannot recommend the lovelifedrawing study group enough, thanks for all that you do 😊

short amount of time = talent change my mind ^^ i have drawn for 7 months for 4 to 6 hours aday and i still cant to anything right xD. But then we got people like dd mark that just got good in 2 years xD cmon man. Also this idea of "just practise" its toxic because if you just mindlessly draw without any direction you will get noware fast! And if your doing this by yourself with no money, no teacher, no mentor and your just winging it. You will fail forever. Sad but true.
