I used to draw a lot when i was younger and i was pretty good for my age. Then i suddenly stopped drawing when i reached highly school. I lost all motivation and i wasnt really encouraged to draw by my family too. If i had kept drawing i would be really skilled by now. Regret is a horrible feeling, and i feel this nearly every day for quitting early on. I want to start drawing again by setting targets for myself. Thank you so much for these tips!

regret and sorrow are my fuel to do the things I wanted as a teen.
art, languages, and use my roller skates again. one step a day, I try to do at least one of those a day.
ps: Thanks for the more positive motivation to keep improving

I draw comics and like to feature that on my fledgling channel. I love making them and my latest work, Poison Ivy Gulch, is really fun to work on. Seriously, I'm having way too much fun drawing it, creating characters and coming up with jokes.

You hit the nail right on the head; you have to like what you do. Thanks for the video and keep sharing them.

I want to illustrate. My favorite artists are guys like Frank Frazetta and the Brothers Hildebrandt. I take my sketchbook to my job at 12:30 in the morning, and I sketch while I am up on the line waiting to sort packages.

The world right now is utterly depressing and a nightmare for me to live in. It's been like this for a long time, and over the course of my life my creativity was very much robbed from me. My greatest fear is that I've run out of time to retrieve those things which were stolen from me: My youth, my innocence and my dignity. I've been told lately by my uncle that I can't have the career path I desire, as I've been told by so many people over the years (most of which told me I could have no career at all, or even a job, family, etc).

Thanks for the motivational videos!
I think I can draw pretty well, but seldom produce anything of worth.
Lazy, undisciplined, afraid of hours of work...
I'm going to change - and by golly, I'm gonna' have fun too!
Who's with me? Rah! Rah! Zis-boom-bah!
