Hello!! I’ve read some comments saying that the left/right brain theory is just a myth. Im not a psychology expert, and what I’m doing is just summarising what I’ve learnt from the book that has made me a better artist! The main point of the video is to help fellow artists improve, not trying to prove the theory. As my psychology teacher once said, psychology is such a new field, there is still so much uncertainty/unknown areas, and a lot of disagreements between psychologists— so please feel free to do your own research and come up with your own conclusions yourself!

Regardless if this is a myth or not, I think the information in the book is still very knowledgable, finding “the zone” and learning how to observe the world around you (Those tips are super effective as proven from my own artwork 😆).

Fun Fact: Listening to the right type of music can impact your mood and end up bringing out a certain vibe with your drawing because of it. Ex: listening to classical music while trying to draw a calming scene will help the drawing look more satisfying and chances are, the vibe you eventually get from the drawing will be the same vibe you get from the music!

My piano teacher told me something similar. When you're sight reading some notes don't think about each note as an individual note, think about the notes as sentences. Just like when you are reading English or any other language you know how to speak, you don't think about each single letter in a word as an individual, you think about the whole word.

If anyone calls you a nerd then own the heck out of that crap. Learning, taking interest and doing these kind of activities is awesome, you expand your knowledge and become more aware about certain aspects of the world. Don't let negative people affect what you do (I know this is easier said than done sometimes but hold strong!). Thanks for the video as well, it was interesting 😄

I'm glad that you encourage people to draw realism. As an animation student myself, life drawing is very calming and provides a good training. Even for those who wants stylized drawings, you can only actually do so when you can depict the reality of the dimension correctly or else it'll just get awkward like medieval arts. It doesn't have to be perfect, but its better to know it if you don't want your drawings to be flat and even more important if you don't want your animation to be sloppy.

Btw, good luck for college/university :)

Any recommendations on getting the self-criticism side of the brain to shut up? I know that I need to get better at real-life drawing to get better at drawing in general, and that's going to take lots of practice, but I keep stopping and starting because I can only see what's disproportionate and off, so it's hard to keep continous motivation 😅

My dad told me this and ever since my drawing improved so much, it’s really good advice for beginners and now because of that advice I rarely scetch I go straight to the fine line, because I don’t think to hard about it :3
And this video is so helpful! I’m subbing

[shrimeghnamadhugundu]

I love your art! You're so motivating and as a beginner artist who is 10 years old, your videos are SO helpful!!!

I’m an art major at a community college rn. Your advice is what I wished I had done sooner when I was young. But honestly draw something from life every day. We have gotta ask ourselves do we know what a kettle or basic kitchen really looks like on the top of our head. If not we gotta draw it! The more you draw from life, the better you get simplifying objects into basic shapes. My sketching professor would pound on my head when I draw people, it’s not about people. If we draw buildings, it’s not about buildings. It's mostly seeing shapes and that usually helps with stylization and design. I wish the best for people's art journey. Art is a constant learning curve for me. I suddenly got back into art seriously when it was time for college applications. I was undergoing inner turmoil and art was the answer all along. I'm honestly very happy with what I'm learning.

5:53 haha that’s why for most artist their drawings are better at school than when they have motivation to draw (^O^)

a good tip for drawing, which was kind of mentioned in the video, is to not think too hard. making mistakes in a quick sketch is good, because then you see what is wrong and have the ability to change them. ive noticed that when i draw, letting the pen flow is easier than trying to get every detail right the first try.

I'm in 10th grade rn and I haven't drawn anything for months.I have a very busy schedule due to online classes like from morning 7.30am to 6 pm. I rarely have time to draw but still I scribble on the backpage of my notebooks.
Ahh typical kid
But still I've gotten more lazy and I've to start drawing again. Your drawings are so cute! uwu

the whole "right vs left side of brain" is not accurate. both sides work simultaneously, we use both at the same time, as a 'whole', it's just that there are parts of brain responsible for specific functions so maybe the myth comes from that. it's a very complex subject but kinda cool I guess

[eid]

The left and right side of the brain was debunked years ago. Altho the book is good for its exercises, I would suggest to take the 'right vs left brain' as a grain of salt.

[meliexo]

As a beginner artist you inspire and motivate me a lot! I really enjoy watching your content, keep up the amazing work!!

[sunnysunny]

I think I now figure out why my drawings are not sastisfying enough as they used to. I'M NOT IN MY RIGHT MODE.😲

[Mito-mpfk]

I'm no psychology expert, but I do know that watching your videos makes me happy!

[cookieee]

The pink background videos give me more motivation than anything else. I’ll ask my parents if they can buy me the book for my birthday!

I'm a 34 year old lifelong artist and this video randomly showed up in my recs. Keep going kid. You're going places. 👏👏👏
