  "there's nothing unproductive about living your life" is something I really needed to hear right now. Thank you for making this video!

  this video is so real.<br><br>but also I value a consistent artstyle with consistent techniques because I want to be recognised and build a personal brand around my art ;-; like how some artists are recognisable without a signature

  As somebody who feels insecure about my art quite often, I feel like this video hits all the right points! I tend to get ahead of myself easily, frustrated with how long it takes me to reach my end goal. But, in the end all I need is to take a breath and sit down. Look at where I started and where I am now. While it may seem small, a simple improvement can go quite the way.

  Had a classmate at school who just would try and make everything a competition with me (which I didn&apos;t enjoy).<br>She eventually got so jealous about me being able to draw better than her that instead of improving her art she just completely gave up.<br><br>It wasn&apos;t too bad as well ,just more the typical &quot;starting to draw anime&quot; kind of style with humans and while her animals didn&apos;t have the best anatomy they still looked cute.<br>My art was(and still is) far from perfect as well though.

  The more you are jealous of Artist that is better than you,you will never develop as an artist.<br><br>My advice for fellow artist newbie or got stuck:<br>1. Focus from upper body to lower body.<br>2. Know your weakness. &quot;Specific&quot; Like eyes or hair.<br>3. Give your time to practice sketching or train not only your eyes mostly you fine-motor, &nbsp;not full or complete drawing in day.<br><br>I hope this helps 🎉

  Today, I started to actually use references for once (I was very stubborn and thought using references was cheating) to create something different for once that wasn’t related to my content, I’m pleased to say that my drawing improved quickly and I can say it looks WAY better than my previous art where I didn’t use a reference at all (even added a little bit of shading for once which I usually don’t do)

  The aimless, goal-less thing is a HUGE thing I struggle with sometimes. 😭 I&apos;ll fix one thing and then sit there, brain loading, trying to figure out where to go next for months because when it comes to what I want my art to look like I can point to like...47 different unrelated art styles.

  I never thought I&apos;d see a video like this that actually gave fresh and relevant information, but wow! You&apos;ve really motivated me!!<br><br>This also reminds me of what I learned in my intro to art pedagogy class. Children start drawing naturally at a very young age, even without being taught. As you say, they need to take what&apos;s inside and put it outside - they yearn to represent their growing perception of the world and the things that matter to them. Children&apos;s art has identifiable milestones, because children draw a LOT, so their art develops in a very uniform way between certain ages, just from doing it so often. This development usually stops between the ages 10 and 12 - because this is where children really start comparing themselves to other people. They learn that art has to be <b>good</b> to be valued, and they realize that theirs *isn&apos;t*. So they stop doing it as often, leading to their skill stagnating at that level. That&apos;s why most adults are only capable of doodles - starting from their teenage years, they may still draw sometimes (art class, boredom doodles, illustrative schematics), but with none of the frequency and seriousness they had when they were younger.<br><br>So when you think about that - artistic development is actually inevitable. We all just invented drawing at some point, and became better in exactly the same way as everyone else. So isn&apos;t art just natural to us? We all got naturally better at it, even though we started with practically empty heads and completely ridiculous motor control. Who knows where we all could&apos;ve gotten if we hadn&apos;t become discouraged?<br><br>So next time you compare yourself to someone else and feel like you&apos;ll never be good enough, think about all the 10-year-old children who would look at your art the same way and stop drawing forever. Think of what those children could draw someday if they just kept going, and think of what <b>you</b> can draw if <b>YOU</b> keep going. Keep expressing yourself. Even if it seems like your skill stagnates, you&apos;ll still keep your hand warm and grow as a person - and as a result, your art will grow eventually. It&apos;s natural.<br><br><br>(Also, do look into the milestones of art development in children. A lot of us don&apos;t remember the first time we picked up a crayon and have no idea how slowly we built up basic comprehension of space, shape, and colour. I feel more encouraged to keep going when I think of the effort that small child put in so I could have a basic foundation later. She did her absolute best and I&apos;m not going to let her give up.)
