| KEY TAKE AWAYS |

1. Don't value consistency over quality
2. Don't get information from only one source
3. Don't be all about business
4. Don't get jaded
5. DON'T STOP LEARNING
6. Don't study things just once

[BryceImpact]

I appreciate your point about studying a subject multiple times.
It aligns with something I learned from an improv teacher:
"Dig a few deep holes, rather than a lot of shallow ones."

[AdamDuffArt]

Bobby, I fully stand behind every message you share on your channel - I’ve binge watched you all day and well, I just love you to pieces - your attitude and advice is top tier

[YassineCherifi]

This video came in the right time, especially the repeated studies part. Thank you so much 🙏

[Solaraa_yt]

Was feeling out of focus lately and this video really reminded me the beauty of getting better as people who do art. Thanks Bobby !

[peterjacksonanton]

Hey Bobby, loving seeing videos like this on your new channel, I love that you're redoing your old videos with new insights you've had

[JeffEickhoff]

Loved so much about this. Keep ‘em coming!

[suzume_artz]

Really needed this as a reminder to keep going & keep learning more about art through constant trial & effort. Thank you for this! ❤

[sinclaire]

I'm a huge fan of trial and error in my art and sculpture because sometimes the mistakes make the best pieces 😅

[mentalrebllion]

Consistency is something I’m ok with but yeah, I definitely think it shouldn’t always be the priority. I did one time challenge myself in painting a bunch of paintings in a short amount of time and make sure I was consistent with all of them. I still made sure I had a minimal decent quality I approved of which I stuck more strictly to. But even so, that was due to extenuating circumstances.




(Context, was doing paintings for a wedding present for my cousin and my sister did the air-head thing and rented a booth space at an art festival without a decent inventory in stock…so I made a few to fill out tables, though it ended up being a really badly located festival so no one sold anything really. So I had a week to turn out a lot of paintings. One large (wedding one), two medium (the wedding ones), and seven small paintings (because I knew better than to start larger to get a lot turned out). But hey! I did it! Trial by fire completed!)

Thank you and god for this 2nd channel.

[ILoveCiniminis]

These videos are coming back and even better than before

[Yipper]

11:32 I never thought about it like that. I should do more tutorial series...
I'm generally more interested in videogame making, the programming aspect primarily but I do want to potentially be able to wear every hat, even if im not as skilled as I could be in every area.
Even if its just a basic tutorial I should go through more of them. Its not like I cant just skip over the things I already know.

[Arturo_Sketch]

Always being a chad with that emmy on the shelf xd Thanks bobby for the courses, the kind words and the encouraging :3

[ArtProphet]

Felt very seen you mentioning the martial arts comparisons, i practice and teach karate, its true, practicing basics 10 times is not the same as practicing it 200 times or more, repetition and studying to understand is where magic happens// my dad the head instructor was just talking about that yesterday in class haha😁 the same lessons apply no matter the medium😤💪✍🏼

[jolimarify]

Thank you for these tips, they helped me a lot today.

[TheGoldenFrost]

Also, one thing that worked pretty well with myself : multiply the amount of homework you get in art courses by at least two 😂

Last advice I think might be the best I've heard in a long time! No one ever presented it like that...

[RadioGardaIndia]

Nice suggestions mate . Thanks for changing my mind 😊

[ariadnaltos]

Wow, all of the advice is pretty good and it made me think about a lot of stuff. I'm going to apply it!

[Spartacular]

I like to learn from multiple resources.
The problem is I get lost trying to juggle too many courses or books at once, switching thinking that I'm not ready for that topic for whatever reason ( or excuses).
I end up burnt out not getting done and not enjoying the process at all because of that.
How can I stay focused and avoid such distraction?
